Midfielder.

Chapter 375

Chelsea collided with AC Milan, everyone knows what kind of confrontation this is, control and anti-control, this will be the main theme on the court, Mourinho has never been used to letting others lead him by the nose, so he asked Every player on the field must be highly focused.

"From the beginning of the game, you must entangle the opponent, and you cannot let the opponent control every corner calmly. I need you to restrict the opponent's random penetration and running in the half court, and don't let AC Milan play the rhythm they are used to. , or we'll be in trouble."

Whether in the locker room or in previous training sessions, Mourinho has emphasized this point with his players, and he has repeatedly emphasized it many times. Even in Chelsea's locker room, this sentence is also true. He wrote it in the most conspicuous place so that everyone can see it.

Mourinho is not warning his players, because he has watched no less than [-] recent AC Milan game videos. As long as the Rossoneri controls the rhythm of the game, they will become the protagonists on the field without exception. With a winning rate of more than [-]%, this is beyond description.

Except for two games because of their bad luck, the unlucky shot did not get into the net and was successfully attacked by the opponent with a counterattack. AC Milan used its own powerful way to control the rhythm of each game, not only the rhythm and the scene Yes, it made the opponent very desperate in terms of efficiency.

Don't say it's because AC Milan are at such a high level in the domestic league that it can win so easily, don't forget, they are doing the same in the Champions League, maybe apart from the Eindhoven game being a bit out of order , it is almost so powerful that people can't help it.

The helpless control of AC Milan is not only shown in the lethality of the midfield, but also because they can rely on this control to make the opponent feel helpless, and even use the method of controlling the midfield to reduce the opponent's attack. Possibly, tightly restraining every press of the opponent.

Facing such a team, you can't expect to be contained from the beginning to the end of the field, but Mourinho needs to let the players do one thing, that is, in their own half, don't give AC Milan those Offensive players have too much freedom to allow them to play as they please.

This is the experience that Mourinho gained from the confrontation between AC Milan and Juventus. It was the only game that AC Milan could not control. With enough strength, AC Milan's midfielders are always forced to fight their opponents.

And Juventus didn't have any decent chances in the whole game, but they used such defense and toughness to mess up AC Milan's efficiency and rhythm. Del Piero almost disappeared from the whole game. , Destroying the goal guarded by Dida with a free kick.

Mourinho is looking for the weakness of AC Milan from such game videos. Maybe it is not a weakness, but this way can make the opponent lose his own rhythm. In this kind of peak confrontation, as long as the opponent feels in a hurry , then you have already won the opportunity.

Anyway, Mourinho doesn't care at all how ugly his team is playing. Even Lampard has to retreat when needed. Only Lin Yi and Germany can really nail AC Milan's half-court. Robba, Robben and Duff are the kind of sharp knives that draw back and stab out.

From the arc of the middle circle to the front of his own big penalty area, within this range, there is no room for the opponent to move, to contain, to press and mark the man. The scope expanded, putting a kind of pressure on AC Milan.

If you can't control their advancement, then squeeze these guys into a small space. Anyway, for Chelsea, you must rely on your own strong body to set up obstacles for the opponent in your own half of the court and compress them as much as possible. Opponent's space.

The current AC Milan is not a typical Italian team. Not only do they have a strong defensive ability, they are more like a gorgeous Brazil in offense. Soldiers and overall combat capabilities are quite outstanding.

Shevchenko, Crespo, including Kaka and Seedorf, these guys are like sharp knives, no matter who is given a free space, they can turn into terrifying killers, giving you a fatal blow at any time, Mourinho doesn't want these guys to wreak havoc in front of him.

Since Chelsea can contain Barcelona's offensive group in both home and away games, Mourinho now requires his players to use the same toughness here to strangle AC Milan's offense and not leave any easy cuts for the opponents. Or interspersed opportunities.

However, when the game started, Mourinho found that he still ignored Ancelotti's confidence in winning. AC Milan unexpectedly launched an uncharacteristically strong attack in the opening stage. It can be said that they started from kick-off. The whole line has been pressed, and there is no plan to stabilize the position at all.

Originally, in the recent games, AC Milan relied on the skillful cooperation between the players to control the frontcourt, and then slowly looked for opportunities. You can see that their opening goal rate is only less than 5.00%. This is not A group of players who are used to playing that kind of blitz.

Compared with the assault, the players of AC Milan believe in their own skills and overall cooperation. They believe that the skilled skills and the tacit understanding between each other can allow them to tear apart all defenses, but after the opening, Mourinho saw It was a scene that he hadn't even thought of.

After Kaka kicked off with Shevchenko in the middle circle, the Brazilian boy did not choose to pass the ball to the backcourt to wait for Pirlo's organization. Before Drogba could react, he had already released his speed. The ball flew directly from the side of the African elephant.

When Lampard and Drogba were about to intercept, Kaka had already dribbled the ball into Chelsea's half. Lin Yi might be the first person to realize the threat. He posted almost the moment Kaka started. He went up, but he couldn't stop the Brazilian kid.

No way, Lin Yi is not a defensive player at all. His tackle was easily swayed by Kaka with a fake move. After passing three opponents in a row, Kaka did not choose to stop and wait for his teammates. The support is still crazily dribbling forward.

It wasn't until Makelele posted it that Kaka slowed down for the first time, but before the rest of the team came up to help defend, Kaka had passed the ball smoothly, and Chelsea's defensive line, which was disrupted by his breakthrough, For such an instant, there was a rare confusion.

It may be that even these powerful guys did not expect that AC Milan's offense would be so fierce, and it was so fierce in the opening stage, which was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. When Makelele pounced , A brief defensive vacancy suddenly appeared in the middle.

For those natural killers, such a defensive loophole represents an opportunity. Shevchenko is undoubtedly this kind of killer who may kill someone at any time, so his keen sense of smell accurately captured Kaka's pass, and it was just at the University At the top of the arc in the penalty area, the Ukrainian shot directly.

At the moment when Shevchenko kicked, there was no one around him. This is basically difficult to see in Chelsea's usual games, especially in the middle. They almost never let their opponents have such a chance to shoot calmly. But now, Shevchenko may even choose to tweak it.

A world-class shooter never wastes such an opportunity. Shevchenko's shot went directly to the lower left corner of the goal with the sound of the wind. At this time, Terry and Carvalho could only watch helplessly. The opponent calmly completed this high-quality shot.

But Cech became the savior of the Chelsea team at this time. He made a save response almost at the moment Shevchenko kicked. The advantage of moving ahead and his height and arm length became the guarantee to save the goal. , he flicked his fingertips vigorously to save the football to the bottom line.

"Brace yourselves! Don't let your opponent take a kick so easily!" Cech, who successfully saved the goal, yelled at his own people for the first time. It can be seen that he does not want to try such a critical moment again, after all It is impossible for him to judge accurately in advance every time.

Not only Cech was a little excited, even Mourinho made gestures from the players on the field to make them open their eyes. He didn't want to see such scenes in front of his goal again and again. The first time I dodged it, but no one can guarantee that it will be the same next time.

However, AC Milan's attack did surprise Mourinho a bit. He subconsciously looked at Ancelotti, who was also standing on the sidelines. With an annoyed expression, he seemed to have always looked calm.

"That cunning Italian guy." Mourinho didn't want to admit anything, but now he can only say that he also made mistakes. He still underestimated a championship-level coach. A lot has been improved, but there are still flaws.

Obviously that guy has also noticed the tactical arrangement that his team has used in so many games recently, so he simply changed it in such a final match. Such a subtle tactical change almost made AC Milan play The first shot after the opening scored.

Maybe Ancelotti's calm expression is also a restless heart. After all, this is the final, and he may also regret that shot.

If they enter, then the rhythm of the game will be firmly in their own hands, and they can use their counterattack power at will, but now it seems that God and luck are on Chelsea's side, and AC Milan still has to fight back. Keep up the pressure on their defense.

No matter how strong the defense is, there will be loopholes. The moment just now seemed to allow Ancelotti to grasp a certain feeling. . .
