Midfielder.

Chapter 298

Barcelona replaced by Maxi Lopez is crazy. There is no doubt about it. They had no choice but to hit Chelsea's goal with their lives.

But Mourinho's reaction was obviously much faster than Rijkaard's. He didn't have to observe the status of any personnel on the field. After Lampard scored, this guy chose to make a substitution almost at the same time. .

He seems to have prepared all this long ago, because he arranged for people to warm up after the start of the second half.

At this time, he basically didn't need to ask the players to do any warm-up activities, he just took off his training clothes and could play.

Compared with Rijkaard, Mourinho will always be one step faster. If Maxi Lopez played earlier, then Chelsea must be passive. If Rijkaard's substitution reaction can be so early Minutes, maybe Chelsea's defense will still be a little dangerous, but now, Mourinho has returned Chelsea to four defenders, and he has killed all dangers in the bud.

Duff exits, Glenn Johnson enters the field, and when Barcelona is ready to attack, Chelsea are ready to fight, and Lampard is still cruising in the midfield, and Lin Yi also withdraws.

Gudjohnsen's mobility can be brought into full play at this moment, not to mention the fast Robben is beside him, and Lin Yi is passing the ball behind them. .

It doesn't matter if you don't have a high point. Anyway, Chelsea don't plan to play long passes from the backcourt now. As long as Gudjohnsen can use his running ability to stir up trouble in the opponent's backcourt, that's enough. This guy's role is just that.

It is necessary to make it impossible for the opponent to launch a continuous attack. Robben's task is also to snipe the opponent's pass in the midfield.

Lin Yi's defensive ability may not be strong, but he is now positioned behind Gudjohnsen and has completely liberated Lampard. The task for that strong guy is to interfere with Harvey's ball as much as possible in the middle.

After Iniesta left the field, Harvey became the only brain in the midfield who could direct the overall situation. Just like when he was in the national team, he had to carry the banner of Barcelona's offense, but this difficulty was indeed very great.

Because he has to face Lampard's entanglement, that guy may not be as plastering as Makelele, but he is also difficult to deal with.

And Lin Yi's task is to use his good dribbling skills to firmly lock up Deco and Albertini, so that these two guys dare not easily press up and participate in the attack. Now Mourinho wants to Keep the opponents who can pass the ball in the midfield to fight, allowing Ronaldinho to keep retreating from the frontcourt to get the ball.

Keep the Brazilian as far away from the goal as possible. Although Mourinho trusts Makelele's marking ability, for a person who can often perform miracles, it is best to keep him away from the danger zone.

Thiago, Arjen Robben, Lampard, Lin Yi, Makelele, these guys all started to block desperately in the midfield.

"Don't be afraid of fouls, what we want now is absolute safety!", this is what Mourinho told Lampard, and he asked every midfielder to keep this in mind, and he must hang on opponent.

Now Chelsea doesn't play with you with elegance, but with rogue-style entanglement. Anyway, it can make you awkward, so it makes you awkward, and you want to be comfortable?Also, if you don't have a football under your feet, you can be more comfortable.

Of course, the condition of this preferential treatment does not include Ronaldinho, because Makelele is a shadow of him.

Wherever he goes, Makelele will follow wherever he goes, and the defense that never leaves is what Mourinho needs.

Although Duff's counterattack is missing, in the midfield, Chelsea is now completely strangled.

The most important thing is that now Chelsea has five players in the midfield and four players in the back. Such a pure defensive counterattack is called thorough. Even if any team comes, they dare not say that they can tear their defense apart. .

Originally, this line of defense was already solid, but now Mourinho's national defense is more thorough.

Even Robben retreated to defend, can you still expect Chelsea to leave any loopholes in Barcelona's defense?
No way, this group of guys not only have outstanding personal abilities, but the most important thing is that the defensive concept instilled in them by Mourinho has been deeply rooted in their bones. Want to rely on small-scale cooperation to open up gaps?That is dreaming.

Look at how many times Xavi has fallen on the turf, and you can know whether Barcelona is struggling in the midfield. Their fouls are very particular about the location, and basically all of them are concentrated near the middle arc.

Just trying to pull you down, or delay your pass, is not hurting someone deliberately, they are just disrupting your rhythm.

Rijkaard has been quiet for a long time. This Dutchman seldom expresses his emotions, but now he can't stop complaining to the fourth official, because Chelsea's foul tactics make him very helpless.

"Such a foul should be punished! He is killing the game!" Rijkaard's accusation is indeed correct. Mourinho is killing the game now, and he is killing all bad possibilities.

But the fourth official on the sidelines will not side with Rijkaard just because of this kind of confrontation. What's more, the referee on the field is Collina, who didn't say anything about the foul, so what if you protest again?

"Be quiet, sir. This is a fierce football match, so the referee's penalty needs to be respected. If there is a problem, you can appeal after the game instead of affecting our work here."

This is the answer given by the fourth official to Rijkaard. Of course, what he said was more polite. If it was replaced by Collina, that guy would probably tell Rijkaard very firmly. If he does this again, he will be invited. stands.

Rijkaard couldn't be satisfied with the fourth official's answer. He waved his hands angrily and walked back to his coach's bench. This may be the first time since this season that he was so manic and angry.

A coach can no longer restrain his temper, so can you still expect the players to control their temper?
Eto'o has had two head-on conflicts with Carvalho and others in the Chelsea penalty area. Although the two sides are only verbal, his actions and expressions have aroused the roar of many Chelsea fans.

"Damn black monkeys! Don't run wild at Stamford Bridge! Go back to your Africa!", such unfriendly voices came from all directions of the stadium, with obvious insults, but the noise of more than 3 fans, the referee What can be done?He really can't change anything other than he can write that in his post-race report.

Collina can't do anything other than warn the players on both sides to calm down, but the Italian's control is indeed much better than Fricks, and the conflict on the court is only concentrated on language.

No way, in such a fierce game, you have to allow the players to greet each other's elders.

Otherwise, if they really hold back their anger and have no place to vent, maybe something will really happen.

But such conflicts must eventually destroy the Barcelona players, because in La Liga, they don't encounter many such situations. Compared with the wild style of the Premier League, they are obviously much more elegant.

Whether it's physical conflicts or verbal provocations, Barcelona players can't take advantage of it, and such small-scale provocations can only make them more impulsive and more prone to mistakes during the game.

"That guy is really shameless." Lineker also joked intentionally or unintentionally during the broadcast.

Shameless?Indeed, and that is quite shameless, Mourinho doesn't care what others think of him anyway, since the team is already ahead, he doesn't care about making the scene ugly, the most important thing is the effect.

It is not safe to lead by one goal. If you continue to take the risk of playing three backs, you may be seized by your opponent.

Mourinho did not forget the lesson of being greedy and aggressive in the first half. Barcelona's offense is not a joke. Besides, those Catalans are already crazy. At this time, they must enter their own door fence.

There is nothing wrong with being shameless. Mourinho has long been used to being judged like this by others. The team he coaches is utilitarian. In fact, many teams want to be utilitarian, but their ability is far behind Mourinho. .

Few people can be more thorough than Mourinho's utilitarianism. Just like the substitution just now, he took the initiative to withdraw a defender more than ten minutes ago, and now he replaced it with the same full-back. defense.

But this approach ensures the safety of the team's defense. Just like before, after Maxi Lopez came on the field, he responded to Belletti's side pass in the middle and directly competed for the top. Although this guy did not directly form a shot, But his header did allow Eto'o, who was plugging in at high speed on the side, to grab a shot. If Carvalho hadn't been defending in the middle, I really don't know if the Cameroonian's supplementary shot would have scored a goal.

If there were still three defenders just now, then Carvalho's position should still be on the wing, so the space in the center will obviously be exposed to Barcelona's offensive firepower, so it makes sense to say that Mourinho is shameless.

And now Chelsea is not just taking back their fists. Don't forget, Mourinho said that taking back is not the ultimate goal. After taking back his fists, he will swing them out fiercely!
Three to two is not the goal, defeating the opponent at once is the result Mourinho wants, just like the trap he dug for Rijkaard just now, but now the trap is full of deadly sharp knives .

Moreover, even if Rijkaard knew that there was a trap ahead, he could only bite the bullet. This unlucky Dutchman may only ask God depressedly, why did he let himself run into this monstrous master-student pair? .
