Midfielder.

Chapter 462

Everyone is thinking about Chelsea, which is inevitable, but the purpose is not the same.

The opponents of the Premier League pondered them in order not to be too ravaged by these lunatics. It is a shame to lose one less loss.

As for the teams in the Champions League, although they know that Chelsea will face Barcelona first, everyone has to guard against the defending champion early on.

But now the most melancholy person must be Rijkaard. He has the video of Chelsea's games in the past two months in his hand, but looking through these videos, he found that Mourinho is in rotation almost every game.

Every game, really every game is in rotation, and each time the formation, style of play, and staffing are different. Now Rijkaard is the only one who can be sure that Chelsea will start the game, only Lin Yi and Cech and the rest of the positions, it seems that Mourinho is very sure about the personnel rotation.

Including Terry and Carvalho, the golden pair of central defenders, there are also substitutes. Friedrich's recent performance is perfect, especially in the defense of the center, he rarely makes mistakes.

The tenacity and meticulousness of the German, as well as his strong body, made him rarely suffer in the confrontation. In the game against Arsenal, this guy and Carvalho jointly blocked the marksman Henry.

Rijkaard is not surprised at all to say that this guy is firmly established as the main force with his recent game state.

In addition to Friedrich, people like Bosingwa also had a strong performance in the game.

This makes Chelsea's defense lineup, there are many variables, Rijkaard also dare not easily finalize the opponent's steel defense line, what kind of personnel combination will be, now only Petr Cech's goalkeeper position can be sure, Apart from him, whether Chelsea will play three backs or four backs, Barcelona is not sure, there is no way, Mourinho is always changing.

And recently when he played with three backs, Chelsea's offense will become sharper. Now they have enough frontcourt players, and the different lineups in each game also make their offense look very changeable.

One striker, two strikers, sometimes they do a 4-3-3 once in a while, and this is when Drogba has not returned to the team. If that guy comes back, who knows how they will play.

Originally, Rijkaard had been having a headache with the team's air defense recently, but now looking at Chelsea's strong charge in the middle, especially the sharp increase in header advantage, Barcelona has a headache just looking at it.

One Drogba is enough, adding Crespo is even more terrible, not to mention that they may be paired with Anelka who is cruising around looking for opportunities at any time, which will be even more dangerous.

In Chelsea's midfield, Rijkaard only knew that Lin Yi was indispensable. Although in the last few games, he did not play every game, and the midfield organization task was occasionally handed over to Lampard or Gerrard, but Rijkaard absolutely does not believe that Mourinho will hide his most effective weapon. Lin Yi was the main reason why Barcelona was eliminated last year. This kid will definitely start.

It's just that it's hard to determine his position now, and he is still entrenched in the midfield for most of this season.

But in recent games, his position has started to be closer to the goal, and it is in the middle, which makes his short pass penetration and breakthrough with the ball more threatening, and his number of goals has also begun to increase recently.

The closer he is to the goal, the greater his restraining power. Although the midfielder is a little less organized, this kind of threat in front of the goal is obviously more direct and easier to create goals. Maybe he will play this position against Barcelona, ​​just like Ronaldo. Nardinho played the same role in Barcelona, ​​attacking the opponent's goal directly.

But the kid's position is uncertain, and you can't even talk about other personnel combinations. If Lin Yi retreats to the midfield, then the two heavy artillery partners of Lampard and Gerrard may play in front of him.

Taking advantage of the striker's header, he started bombing on the outside, trying to score by bombarding the goal.

But if Lin Yi is behind the forward line, then Chelsea's midfield has too many variables, and even their traditional two-wing wing may be abandoned. Recently, they have indeed done this. Robben and Duff rarely play together. , but the threat from the wing has never been weakened, especially Robben's inside cut and Cassano's wandering in the frontcourt, there is no extremely fast bottoming, and they do not delay their goals.

What's more, it's not like they can't fly with both wings together, and Duff's condition has also picked up recently.

Moreover, in the League Cup match, Robben and Duff also attacked together. The two scored a goal and contributed an assist. Such a competitive state makes people have to be vigilant.

The ghost knows if Mourinho is hiding something. When it really gets to his death, he might sacrifice his old team and use the most familiar method to attack the opponent's life. Now others can only be Said with envy and hatred, Chelsea's midfield strength is already superior to other opponents.

From individual combat ability to overall attack effect, Mourinho's players are all good players.

Use a newcomer?Or use the old formation from last season?Counterattack with defense?Or open up the formation and attack yourself?Such frequent changes made Rijkaard really confused. He didn't know what Mourinho was thinking, he only knew that every time this guy changed, there was a very deadly threat.

It seemed that the guy was showing all his wealth for Rijkaard to see, but this was not exposing himself, but making the opponent more flustered and uncertain about Chelsea's pulse.

You really don't know if he is setting up suspicious formations, using such frequent changes of formations to confuse your sight.

Rijkaard is indeed very melancholy. Although Barcelona has also adjusted their tactics recently, the overall framework remains the same no matter how you look at it. Basically, the team of the season has been continued to use.

Occasionally one or two position adjustments will not shake Barcelona's usual tactics for the past two seasons.

Such a stable lineup is not a bad thing, but for their old enemy, Chelsea is too easy to guess who is playing in Barcelona. It is estimated that Mourinho can know their starting list with his eyes closed. Confrontation with no secrets at all is actually a disadvantage.

It’s not that Rijkaard doesn’t want to change his lineup or style of play, but Barcelona is not Chelsea. They don’t have that much money and they have to throw in tens of millions of euros during the winter transfer period. After all, Barcelona's short-pass penetration style of play has been in shape for a long time. Even if there is a new aid, it will take enough time to adapt, and it is impossible to fight immediately.

In contrast, Chelsea's tactical framework now appears to be very flexible. The new players bought are either Mourinho's old subordinates, or Mourinho's supplementary purchases upon request.

And under the combination of that kid Lin Yi, everyone's integration speed is surprisingly fast. Apart from not being able to speak jingles in English, these guys now have no major problems in communicating on the field.

The more flexible Chelsea's tactics are, the harder it is to guess what these guys think. Compared with those competitors, their teamwork in the game is a kind of torture that makes the opponent want to break their heads.

Barcelona is worried, but even if they are worried, they are just worried about whether they want to prevent Chelsea from giving them a head-on blow at the Nou Camp when they play home first. After all, there is no such thing as away goals. In the two rounds of this peak duel, it is indeed very important.

But compared to Barcelona's melancholy, those opponents in the Premier League are depressed, especially those traditional giants. They not only have to meet Chelsea in the league, but also cannot escape this fateful matchup in the League Cup and FA Cup. For example, Liverpool had to hit Chelsea three times on three lines.

What a sad reality this is. Dalglish estimated that when he saw the schedule, he wanted to hold a cross and crash to death, damn it!Three games in a row!You still let me live!

Originally, Liverpool had a hard time recently, not to mention the sixth place in the league. It is already a miracle that Dalglish can bring the dispirited team to this position, including the American owner of Liverpool, who has also publicly praised it. His coaching, after all, the current Liverpool is already weak.

The league is not working, the cup is still so-so, the League Cup and the FA Cup have broken into the quarter-finals, but this is also because they have finally focused on the competition. After all, Liverpool is also a traditional giant, and there are always no trophies. Entering the account, this is too embarrassing, I have to fool around with a trophy.

But now it seems that Dalglish's wishful thinking is not easy to do. Like them, Manchester United is now focusing on these two cups, especially after being eliminated from the Champions League.

Ferguson is also under pressure, and he also wants trophies, so Ferguson has also exerted his strength in these two trophy competitions that usually seem to be tasteless, and his situation is obviously much better than Dalglish.

After the pressure of the first half of the league, Manchester United's recent recovery momentum is obvious. After the defense line is strengthened, the striker combination carefully forged by Sir Alex Ferguson has also begun to exert its power. The cooperation between Lu Xiaopang and Ronaldo has also begun to mature. Even without Ruud Fanny, the two of them could have conquered the city.

In particular, Ronaldo's recent state is really hot. He has scored six goals and assisted three times in five league games and two cup games. If we compare this period of time alone, his statistics are even better than Lin Yi.

Moreover, Mendes finally secured several good business contracts for this guy. Anyway, this kid was also the first treasure he dug up at the beginning, and it is impossible for Mendes not to consider Ronaldo's commercial value.

But after the guy signed the contract, he still complained to Mendes with a depressed face, "Why is it the same contract, I have to pay less than that kid every time, and the salary is almost one-third worse!"

"Well, if you can make a breakthrough in the Champions League next season, you can also get a big contract."

Mendes can't beat this little guy anymore. There is no other way. This guy has always wanted to be an old enemy with Lin Yi, but every time he is suppressed by Lin Yi, he is very sad. Except for the national team, every time he meets, he is always loser.

However, Ronaldo's growth rate is fast enough. When he came to Manchester United, he only played in the Portuguese Super League for more than half a season, but now he has become the main player with a full face.

If this kind of progress rate is placed on ordinary people, it will grow at the speed of light. It is estimated that everyone will say that this kid is a genius, but now with Lin Yi, a pervert, everything is just a cloud.

No matter how fast Ronaldo grows, he can't go as fast as that kid. He is less than 19 years old, has two Champions League trophies, a triple crown, and a five-time crown. He almost obliterated the possibility of latecomers surpassing himself. C If Luo wanted to surpass that crazy little guy, it would be an impossible task, and he couldn't blame him, after all, not everyone would be so crazy to win.

When Ronaldo was still picking up girls, that kid was still on the training ground. It is difficult for a guy who is so talented and crazy to fail to succeed, and besides, there is a wise fox beside him.

Compared with Lin Yi, Ronaldo is indeed very depressed, but compared with Manchester United and Liverpool, they seem very relaxed. They can easily reach the semi-finals in the FA Cup, and the League Cup against Aston Villa is not the same. It's too difficult a threshold, but Liverpool obviously encountered the worst choice this time.

Moreover, the League Cup is still determined by one game. It depends on Chelsea's recent state. Can they be expected to lose?

What makes Dalglish the most melancholy is that before the League Cup starts, they have to play a league game with each other at Stamford Bridge to end Chelsea's winning streak?Or choose strategy to give up in this game?

Dalglish must be in a conflicted mood right now, otherwise this guy wouldn't have put all the main players on the field and played a 4-5-1 formation that made his fans tangled up. Unwilling to be beaten fiercely by the opponent, he can only place the entanglement in the midfield.

But Riise, Sissoko, Warnock and Kewell, which of them is a good defensive champion?Especially when compared with Chelsea, it is completely inferior. Looking at their midfield mix, Lampard, Lin Yi, Gerrard, Robben, and Cassano are also five, but this is in The personal level is also too bad. Chelsea played a 3-5-2 formation specially.

I really don't know if Dalglish would sigh when he saw such a scene, because he was born at the wrong time.

If he insisted on taking over the team when Liverpool started to go downhill, how about now, his fame might be ruined in these three games, do you want to win?where is thisStamford Bridge!

Since Mourinho entered Chelsea, these guys haven't lost at Stamford Bridge, and this season they won consecutive victories here. What's more, with such a fierce lineup, do you expect them to lose?

Even the betting company lowered the odds to the lowest point in history before the start of the game. For them, if Chelsea wanted to lose, there was only one possibility. They set up a sniper rifle on the sidelines and killed the gang Guys, all the players who can play, otherwise, don't expect this bunch of lunatics to let their opponents go.

What happened to Liverpool?Still won, when the opponent was still trying to resist, Chelsea's offense had already pounced on like a hungry wolf. Liverpool, who finally wanted to gain a foothold in the away game, was directly suppressed by this impact, but as a team The old giants, they are still insisting.

But this kind of persistence can only make them spin around in their own half. Under Dalglish's roar, Reina persisted on the goal line for half an hour. He saved at least three must-goal goals. But this kind of left-handed and right-handed blocking can't save Liverpool's disadvantage. No. 301 minutes, Chelsea scored!

The blocking of the first three shots will not affect Lin Yi's mood. Besides, this kid found a little fun in the confrontation with Sissoko. The big black guy is very fierce, but his movements are indeed a bit slow.

Lin Yi passed him, just like passing a wooden stake. He could easily succeed every time, and he passed through the crotch. This time was no exception. Lin Yi, who was pulled to the left side of the penalty area, faced Sissoko. Changing the line and making a fake move, with a light poke on the toe, he completed the play on Sissoko again, and before the opponent shoveled towards him, Lin Yi bounced the football towards the penalty area with the outside of his instep. The two ghosts hit the goal hard enough, but This time Chelsea hit the goal with three ghosts, Crespo, Gerrard and Lampard, and Reina could only surrender.

A goal crushed not Reina's confidence, but Dalglish's persistence. The old guy changed his formation in the second half, but five defenders and four midfielders will not bring safety to Liverpool.

After tearing back and forth for 10 minutes, Liverpool's iron barrel formation was pierced again, but this time it was Lampard's return pass in the middle, which gave Lin Yi the opportunity to go forward. A low shot passed between Carragher's legs, and Reina, whose vision was blocked, reacted a little slower.

The two-to-zero score was enough for Chelsea to continue their winning streak, and it also made Dalglish despair in the confrontation between the League Cup and the FA Cup. The third line was slaughtered. In fact, it was not just a hypothesis.

This weekend is not the most depressing moment for Liverpool. Maybe after the two games next week, they will know what real despair is. This may be another empty-handed season.

I really don't know how those diehard Liverpool fans will feel when they look at the former captain Gerrard who played well in Chelsea. Maybe letting him go is also helping him.

How depressed Dalglish is, maybe not many people will care, but Mourinho's victory made the Barcelona scouts sitting in the stands of Stamford Bridge look melancholy. This is the No. 11 consecutive lineup change He really didn't know what kind of expression that guy would have when he handed over this report to Rijkaard, melancholy?confused?Or is it just like yourself, with a depressed face?

Forget it, the devil knows what to do. There is still a fight between these two old enemies. Perhaps only at the moment of the game will Barcelona know what Chelsea's plan is. . .
