ball at foot

Chapter 448 Robben's Play

Zhao Yaning himself did not expect that he would have a chance to make a supplementary shot.When the first kick went out, in fact, he already had the idea of ​​​​trying to try it. After all, Cech had already saved it, and his shot preparation was not sufficient.When he knocked on the goal post, he was a little desperate, but Cech fell, and Terry didn't return to the defense in time, which gave him a chance to score. The successful kick back to the empty goal also made Zhao Yaning really happy.

And Terry was also a little depressed.When the ball hit the goal post just now, he could have arrived at the first time.But the problem is that the person closest to the football at that time was Milito, and he was in an offside position. Terry thought that as soon as Milito touched the ball, he would call it offside, but who ever said that Milito was smart enough not to go. Touching the ball, this slowed Terry's start a step, and also caused his mistake, Zhao Yaning's goal.

What a stupid drop.Terry tapped his head.

At this time, there were also boos at Stamford Bridge, but there were cheers above the Liverpool stands.The fans held up the slogan "Never Walk Alone". At the same time, some fans narrowly held up the post-PS photo of Mourinho.

The camera immediately gave a close-up, which also made Martin Taylor and Andy Gray laugh. [

"I have to say, this expression capture is really unique." Knowing that they couldn't laugh at the blond and red-clothed ps, the two of them were able to say that expression, "This is quite difficult to capture What about the lens?"

"Compared to this, it will also make many Chelsea fans very dissatisfied. This approach seems a bit..." Andy Gray said halfway through and couldn't continue.

When Mourinho made insulting gestures towards the Liverpool stands, he himself could be said to have made them towards the media, muddling through, making the FA turn a blind eye and let him go.But for the fans, he couldn't be fooled. The fans couldn't be more clear about who Mourinho's actions were aimed at.This kind of thing was originally Mourinho's fault first. Even if Chelsea fans are dissatisfied, they have nothing to say.If your own coach made such a mistake, don't blame him for holding grudges.The FA will not punish the club for such a thing. They are willing to hype everything about Mourinho. This may not be a topic of hype.

At this time, the camera also showed the coach.The moment the goal was scored, Yesterdan and the players on the bench hugged and celebrated together, but Benitez still took out a small notebook with a face and recorded something, a little bit of celebration Meaning nothing.

On the other side, Mourinho's face was extremely gloomy at this time. Whoever conceded the ball at his home court, and he was so humiliated by the opponent's fans, must be extremely angry.Concealing his emotions has never been something that Mourinho is good at, or likes to do.For such provocations, his habit has always been to retaliate.

But the players on the court, at this time, they don't have the conditions to take revenge and go back.

Mourinho's original plan was to keep the goal at home, and when he arrived at the away game, he was fully staffed and came back by counterattack.But now it seems that Liverpool's rare offensive method of desperately gambling has made Chelsea have to face difficulties again.

But how to attack?Mourinho looked back at the bench. At this time, Duff is still unable to play, but Robben can come off the bench.Although his injury is just right, it would be better to take a rest, but at this time, Mourinho can't take much care of it.

Chelsea make substitution adjustments, Joe Cole off, Robben on.

This is to fight back.Benitez watched the opponent's adjustment and called Riise to his side, "If he moves on the right side, you go forward to compress the space behind him. If he moves on the left side, you go behind Retiring to the defensive line to act as a central defender, let Finnan go forward to reduce the space for his response."

Such a defensive strategy is a bit too bold.The defense system of three guards is not safe enough after all, and Chelsea's attack is generally difficult for four guards to resist. It is indeed a risky approach for three guards to resist Chelsea's Robben.

It is true that Liverpool have been extremely successful in defending Robben by relying on the three-man defense on the wing, but it is difficult to say whether this success is also applicable to the situation of three defenders.

But in Benitez's view, probably the problem is not big.

Firstly, because of Liverpool's defense line, Carragher has played left and right full-back, midfielder, and central defender. He also has a strong adaptability to this change.Although Lise Finnan is not suitable to play as a central defender, he is very desperate and can also play a role in the back line.The most important thing is the technical characteristics of Hyypia in the back: he has strong frontal defense, excellent filling ability, full of experience, and although his turning speed is slow, he is indeed an excellent candidate as a sweeper.

Although such a hasty change is a bit risky, it has the possibility of success in terms of technical characteristics and capabilities.

And the most important point is that Benitez realized a very important point: the impact ability of Robben and Duff is based on Chelsea's overall strength, and their impact distance is not too long. This is also the most important place for their success.And if relying on pressing from behind them, Makelele's position has to be retreated, he can't do a better job of pressing up to support the frontcourt, and it is difficult for Thiago in the middle to play the role of connecting up and down. , In this way, Robben had to retreat a lot to catch the ball. In this way, Chelsea's attack chain was fundamentally interrupted, and Chelsea's attack method also worked.

And the situation of the game was indeed as he had expected, and it could even be said that it was somewhat smoother than he expected.

"Roben's condition is not very good." Watching Robben's performance, Martin Taylor sighed, "This time should have been the time for him to show his personal ability, but..."

"But his performance is really mediocre. Maybe it's because the injury hasn't recovered yet. It seems that he still needs time."[

Robben's performance does have some problems.Logically speaking, he was replaced after more than 60 minutes, and the opponent was already very tired. His advantages in speed and explosive power became more obvious. He should play well, but the problem is that his performance is very average.This aspect is indeed related to his injury.His injury has not healed yet, and it is indeed impossible to play at his best when playing at this time.And secondly, a very important reason is that he didn't think about how to break Liverpool's defense.

"As a super substitute, what you need is not only speed, physical strength and technical ability, but more importantly, the ability to judge the situation, as well as excellent awareness of the opponent's shortcomings, and targeted attacks. Solskjaer's technology is not counted. How outstanding, but he is the most famous super substitute in the Premier League, and even in the world, because of his excellent football quotient. And Joe Cole can play well on the bench this season because of his golf quotient He is superior to other players, but Robben..." Martin Taylor sighed, "These things are really not his forte."

Robben played quite well this season.His explosive dribbling is considered by the Premier League to be an essential part of Chelsea's violent aesthetics.It's just that this way of playing, on the one hand, caused a lot of his own injury problems, and on the other hand, it also concealed one of his important shortcomings: his lack of golf quotient.

According to media reports, Robben is actually not aloof at all.On the court, he is a good talker, and more importantly, he knows his mistakes and can correct them. As long as his teammates feel that he is not playing well and give him opinions, he can correct them immediately.Whether it is asking him to pass the ball or asking him to cooperate, he is willing to try.

It's just that willingness is one aspect, but being able to play well is another aspect.Lack of understanding of the situation on the court, and he is always aggressive. Although this style of play is outstanding in personal strength, he can eat most of the solo defenders by eating raw, but after all, his style of play is not scientific enough, and He is not favored by everyone, which also limits him, and he can never become the most outstanding grade.

Because of this, in the 04 Golden Globe Awards, he was not far from Rooney and Ronaldinho's performance in the European Cup, but in the end, those two people were in the top ten positions of the Golden Globe Awards, while he Can't even make it to the big list.

It's the same this season.In the eyes of everyone, his breakthrough is at the level of the top three in the Premier League, and he is not inferior to Zhao Yaning, but unlike Zhao Yaning’s core position in Liverpool, he is not even as tactical as Lampard in Chelsea, and people recognize him more It is Lampard rather than him. After all, the really decisive thing on the court is to use your brain instead of relying on speed to eat your opponent raw.

And in this game, after he played, he couldn't show his strength all the time.Of course, this aspect is indeed because his injury is just right and has nothing to do with his recovery, but the more reason is that he is really not suitable for activities as a super substitute.

This substitution, Mourinho really lost his mind.If Robben started and Joe Cole came off the bench, the effect would be much better.

"In this game, if Chelsea don't make any changes, it will be very difficult for them to win. Of course, after arriving at Anfield, Duff and Robben can both come back. If Chelsea really counterattacks, Liverpool's The situation will only become more dangerous, and there is still a high possibility of Chelsea coming back. But this season, the unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge will be broken."

When saying these words, in Martin Taylor's view, Chelsea has no more changes available.Although Chelsea has a strong lineup, more of them are strong in the main position.Although the substitute lineup can also be called thick, but in this level of duel, their role is not very big.And more importantly, Mourinho himself is not a person who likes to use substitutes and rotations. He can play with the same main lineup for all four fronts in a season. The Premier League knows it all.

Liverpool and Chelsea have played against each other too many times. Under such circumstances, how to change is indeed a big problem.

But at this time, Mourinho still did not give up. He called Robben to his side and whispered a few words.But this time, Robben nodded immediately and returned to the game.

"It seems that coach Mourinho still has a plan to move forward. Let us see what changes will happen to the situation between the two sides."
