Midfielder.

Chapter 388

In Chelsea's dressing room, during the ten minutes of rest, there was no dull silence from AC Milan. Everyone was immersed in the crazy state of overtaking their opponents. The two guys, Terry and Lampard, were even more so. It is to start discussing who will be the first to lift the championship trophy later.

From their point of view, the game has been played like this, and the rhythm has been completely controlled by themselves. Even if the opponent is AC Milan, they will not be afraid at all. They must win this game.

Mourinho did not suppress the excitement of the players at the moment, but after the group of guys quieted down, he still told them, "Don't think that a team like AC Milan can be beaten to death by us, they are not the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. The level of the team, those Italians will definitely fight back."

"And I can guarantee that their counterattack will be very crazy, just like what they did in the opening stage, it will be very sharp. If you are not careful in defense, you will probably be killed by those Italians. By then Don't say I'm yelling at you from the sidelines."

This is not Mourinho's prophetic ability, but he knows very well that a wealthy team is not so easy to be defeated, especially this kind of team that has been in the Champions League for many years. The ability to resist stress in the world may exceed one's imagination.

It is absolutely impossible for Chelsea to become smooth sailing after taking the lead like Porto last year. AC Milan is also not Monaco. They will not let their opponents control the game so unscrupulously.

Although those guys are at a disadvantage for a while, it doesn't mean that they are willing to continue like this forever.

It can only be said that Lin Yi's goal timing was well grasped. Before the end of the first half, he did not leave too much time for the opponent to counterattack, otherwise, the opponent's attack may suddenly rush up.

Those three or four minutes of confusion still helped Chelsea a lot. At least they now have enough time to adjust their mentality and make all preparations to meet the wave of AC Milan's furious attack in the second half.

The opponent's offense will not change, just like Mourinho will launch a Jedi counterattack, so will the opponent. It is not an easy task to make AC Milan bow down like this.

Unless you can extend the score to [-]-[-] or [-]-[-], the opponent may show frustration.

That's just a possibility. The Italians don't have much tenacity on the battlefield, but they have always been the most patient group of people on the football field. Don't expect them to give up easily.

At least Mourinho didn't think about it that way. Although he knew that Ancelotti would definitely be disturbed by his immediate boss, the fat man wouldn't let it go. He would fight back, for sure!
And Ancelotti's fat man is not easy to deal with. He will make full use of the ten minutes of the intermission to adjust the team's state, or he will rearrange his tactics. The situation is for AC Milan. It's just unfavorable now, not what has reached the brink of despair.

Mourinho also made a mistake in his estimation. Although Berlusconi is a little dissatisfied with the team's tactical arrangement and performance level in the first half, he did not intervene too much.

The Italian Prime Minister also knows what he should do, the difference of one goal is not irreparable.

He didn't need to send his order to the locker room just because he fell behind once. He didn't want to have any accidents because of his control in this game. Professionally, he was not an expert yet.

This may be the most relaxed moment for Ancelotti now, he just needs to calm down and arrange tactics.

What adjustments or tricks the opponent will make, Mourinho can't predict 45%, he can only respond to changes with the same, and now he just wants to remind his players, don't think that the game is at this moment It's over, there are [-] minutes of the second half waiting for them.

Negligence, this is a taboo in military strategists, especially in peak confrontation, every mistake you make may become the reason why your opponent can finally kill you. Mourinho does not want to make those mistakes.

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely deal with each other like we did in the first half, maybe that kid Lin Yi can perform a hat-trick!" Lampard patted Lin Yi on the shoulder with a bad look on his face. Laughing, because this guy is ready to take advantage of Lin Yi after the game.

Just like Lampard's thoughts at the moment, many players are looking at Lin Yi. That kid doesn't usually score goals, which is good. When it comes to such a big scene, he scored two goals at once. It saved the team, and it also made a giant team like AC Milan into a mess.

Especially the first goal, when Cech saw that scene in front of the goal, his mouth had already grown up. He even forgot to shut up for two or three seconds, just staring blankly at everyone. Screen.

It is estimated that there were definitely not a few people who had the same expression as him at that time, especially those Italians, who must have such a surprised look, because the back-heel shot was so ecstasy.

Not only did he deceive Nesta, who is recognized as a world-class central defender, but even a guy like Dida who was at the goalkeeper level was swayed by Lin Yi. He could only watch Lin Yi complete that performance.

What is a big scene player?This fucking is a pure big-time player, he seems to be born for this kind of game, this kid doesn't seem to know what stage fright is at all.

Lin Yi's performance is indeed like this. He has been like this since the day he entered Porto. He doesn't know how to be afraid of others. Except for Mourinho who can deal with him, the rest of the people have to stand aside.

No matter who the opponent is, if this kid is aggressive, he will be a scumbag. No matter how tough the defensive line is, he can force a gap for you, so that he has enough space to pass the ball.

AC Milan's defense was sophisticated enough, but it was pierced twice by this kid back and forth.

Mourinho really has nothing to say except to remind the defensive players to pay attention to the problem of retracement. After all, Ancelotti's cards have not been shown to him yet, but he has the same idea as Lampard. I think that kid Lin Yi's offensive performance today is really crazy.

"In the second half, pay attention to the intensity of the opponent's marking of you. The opponent will not let you harass their defense line. They will do everything possible to prevent you from continuing to break through. Be careful Gattuso. If he goes crazy, he won't care if he is not. There will be some kind of punishment for moving too much."

Mourinho is not worried about other things now, especially Lin Yi's performance. He hardly needs to think about it too much, but he needs to remind Lin Yi that this is not an ordinary league, this is a decisive battle for the highest honor in Europe. No one wants to give up winning before touching the trophy.

Especially when the opponent's midfielder was performing so wildly by Lin Yi, he would definitely attack this kid ruthlessly. A tough guy like Gattuso would definitely not allow Lin Yi to perform so unscrupulously.

Lin Yi didn't say much about Mourinho's warning, he just grinned slightly. He saw Gattuso's unfriendly expression before leaving the field, so he knew very well what that guy would do in the second half , in order to get rid of himself, that guy will definitely go crazy and ruthless.

However, Lin Yi never worried about this kind of thing. Anyway, he had long been used to such fierce interceptions in the confrontation with Keen and the beasts. Now it is just a different opponent. It doesn't matter what kind of method the opponent will use To mark himself, he does not intend to stop attacking.

Regarding Lin Yi's personality, Mourinho has nothing to do. If that kid gets stubborn, he won't be able to drag him back. The toughness from the bottom of his heart is the driving force for him to keep moving forward.

In addition to warning the players to concentrate, Mourinho did not make any tactical adjustments in the midfield. In the past ten minutes, he just left the players to rest and maintain their strength. If they have to face the Italians in the second half The counterattack will definitely consume a lot of energy.

However, this kind of consumption is relative. If the Italians pounce on them, their physical energy consumption will only be faster than Chelsea. For the AC Milan team, which is mostly veterans, it is definitely not good news. Mourinho is confident that he will wear down his opponents with his physical fitness.

Young, strong, good at physical confrontation, has a strict defensive organization, and has a sharp counterattack. This is the foundation for Mourinho to build Chelsea. If he competes with him, then Mourinho is very welcome, and he has confidence Just rely on the advantages of physical confrontation to kill the opponent.

In the second half of the game, we must let it play according to its own rhythm. Mourinho is now ready to take over the game with defensive counterattacks, the way Italians are most familiar with, and return the same way to the other. It is a game of chess that Mourinho is now preparing to play for Ancelotti.

But when Mourinho walked out of the locker room and returned to the sideline coaching bench, he finally saw the hole card that Ancelotti showed himself. Philippe Inzaghi had already stood near the arc of the middle circle , the somewhat thin figure just stood there quietly.

Mourinho is not a rookie coach who has just started, and a guy like Philip Inzaghi, I am afraid no one will not know him, especially those coaches and players who are opponents will think that this thin guy is simply a Satan at the door, a standard demon.

This is a natural killer. Before the start of the game, Mourinho looked at Philippe Inzaghi's name and gave such an evaluation. Maybe that guy doesn't have Ronaldo's knife-like breakthrough, and he doesn't have Shepchen Koe's almost omnipotent performance on the front line.

But no one doubts Philip Inzaghi's scoring ability. Although this guy's skills can be described as rough and simple, in many cases, he is not even so flexible to get rid of people in the penalty area, but Philippe Inzaghi exists to score goals.

Philip Inzaghi's skills can be summed up in the word "grab the spot".Most of the time, he always stands on the same level as the opponent's defender. When his teammate assists and passes the ball, he judges the trajectory and landing point of the ball before the opponent's defender, and starts quickly at the first time.

Then he will use very simple and even a bit crude but very practical movements to score goals. In addition to his feet and head, this guy often uses other parts of his body to score goals, and his shooting efficiency is surprisingly high.

It can be said that as long as Philip Inzaghi stands near the penalty area, it is a kind of pressure for any goalkeeper. If Romario was once the king of the penalty area in world football and an absolute efficient shooter, then now Inzaghi can be said to be the king of the penalty area in the entire Apennines.

Both Vieri and Shevchenko have their own strengths, but in terms of shooting ability alone, Inzaghi is no worse than anyone else. He may not break through or excel, but he can score goals.

Seeing such a guy standing on the field, even Mourinho was a little wary. He knew that Ancelotti would definitely attack. This was the only choice for the opponent, but at this time, he threw Philippe Inzaghi on the field to replace him. Crespo, Mourinho did not fully understand this tactical arrangement.

That's right, Philippe Inzaghi is a very good shooter who grabs points. He is definitely a good scorer in a chaotic battle. If AC Milan adopts a three-forward formation at this time, Mourinho may still be able to I understand, but it doesn't seem like a good way to replace a striker with a striker.

At least Crespo's performance in the first half was not bad. It can be said that the existence of this guy made Terry very embarrassed, especially in the competition for high-altitude balls. The Argentine completely became AC Milan's frontcourt. As an offensive fulcrum, he can even create an offensive threat than Shevchenko.

Replacing crespo with filipe inzaghi didn't look like a good move, a point-grabbing striker who needed more support but lost crespo's high point and inza alone It is difficult for Gee and Shevchenko to take advantage of Terry and Carvalho's defense.

Mourinho doesn't know if Ancelotti understands this truth, but the fat man has already made such a substitution adjustment, and now Mourinho can only wait quietly to see what the other party wants to do. To deal with it, we have to observe through the game, after all, AC Milan is now the main attack.

Perhaps substituting offense for defense is a good way, but when facing a team with a very strong offensive ability like AC Milan, Mourinho is not prepared to take risks. Even for Lin Yi, he just arranges for this kid to use his flexibility. The running and passing of the ball can properly put some defensive pressure on the opponent.

Defensive counterattack, defend the opponent first, and then consider the issue of counterattack. What Mourinho is thinking about now is not some beautiful football. He just wants to make this game easier, especially the process. Try to simplify as much as possible. What you want is the success rate. Rather than some spectacle, that thing is useless.

When playing against such a strong team, the most important thing is to be steady, especially when leading, don’t follow the opponent’s rhythm, how you play is your business, how I play is my own problem, Murray Neo is not going to play against AC Milan as Ancelotti intended.

Although Mourinho hasn't figured out why Ancelotti's substitution adjustment is for now, he has already smelled the desperate feeling of the opponent. In the next 45 minutes of the game, that fat man must Will urge AC Milan's most powerful offense to squeeze yourself.

Just as Mourinho expected, AC Milan's defense also appeared a lot tougher at the beginning of the second half. It was originally Chelsea who kicked off, and their offense was still initiated from Robben's side.

But this time Robben failed to get rid of Cafu's defense as he wished. This time he forced himself under Cafu's close-fitting position on the wing, lost his speed, and seemed a little weak in sprinting.

But Robben still relied on his short-distance sprint to win the cross. His pass slid over Cafu's body and flew over AC Milan's penalty area. Drogba's high-altitude bombing came again.

But Drogba's intention of heading the goal this time was the same as Robben's breakthrough. At the last minute, Stam intercepted it.

After blocking Chelsea's first offensive organization, AC Milan's advance speed at the moment is also amazing. Kaka, who had been cruising in the middle in the first half, suddenly killed Fei after receiving a pass from Pirlo. Leila guarded the right, which made Ferreira feel a little caught off guard.

It was already a bit difficult for Ferreira to deal with Seedorf alone on the right, but now that Kaka inserted into his side so suddenly, it did put him under greater defensive pressure.

Moreover, that Brazilian boy's breakthrough speed was too fast. He didn't give Ferreira any chance to react, so he accelerated suddenly on the wing for no reason at all. With a human action, Ferreira was thrown behind him very directly.

After Kaka broke through successfully, he did not stop. He directly smeared into the penalty area, which forced Terry to choose to make up the defense, but Carvalho also filled the space left behind him.

And Ferreira also chased after Kaka madly, but his footsteps were obviously a beat slower than Kaka. If he wanted to stop the opponent, he probably had to wait for the Brazilian kid to slow down on his own initiative.

But Kaka didn't have this plan. At the moment he faced Terry's post, he didn't choose to pass the ball like he did in the first half, but used his own feet to knock the ball in front of Terry with a change of direction.

A simple kick with both feet made Terry lose the goal of stealing the moment he rushed forward.

Get away!Kaka used such a simple and fast method to pass two levels in a row, and after the kid shook Terry away, he hardly took a step forward. Near the bottom line, he made an extremely fast low pass, directly from the He swept towards the edge of the small penalty area, and Carvalho and Shevchenko grabbed points at the same time.

At this moment, Mourinho on the sidelines seemed to see AC Milan's bayonet flash again. . .
