Chapter 634 Changes in the Blue Army

After returning to England, Mascherano's transfer has not yet been finalized. After all, 2000 million is not a small number, especially since Liverpool is not unused. Therefore, Liverpool is also thinking of lowering the price. Negotiations continued.After returning, within a few days, the Community Shield match against Chelsea had already arrived.

When they met Chelsea in the Community Shield, Chelsea had changed a lot from last season.

This time, their defense is still Petr Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley Cole form a defense.The defensive midfielder is Makelele, and in front of Makelele is Essien and Ballack as central midfielders, while the midfielder is still Lampard, and the double forwards are still Drogba and Shevchenko. .

Because of the introduction of Shevchenko, Chelsea, as everyone expected, began to become more and more obsessed with playing double forwards. Although the warm-up games were not satisfactory, they are still there. persist in.With the introduction of Ballack and Robben's injury in the national team game, he failed to recover before the season. Mourinho's idea of ​​staying in the middle, flying on both wings, and focusing on counterattacks is now also despised.Chelsea this season can't play with both wings. The only thing they can play is the middle.Klinsmann chanted the slogan of playing beautiful football and offensive football, and their tactical changes were obviously aimed at playing football in the middle.

Chelsea's tactical reform has already taken the first step, but after this step, not many people know whether the future will be good or bad. [

But according to Zhao Yaning, at least they took this step well.

At least, Chelsea's defense is still not thrown away.Since the 04-05 season, the three signings Mourinho has never forgotten are Ashley Cole, Gerrard and Ballack.Gerrard did not buy, Chelsea bought Essien as a replacement, Ashley Cole was acquired by Chelsea, plus a Ballack, they have now achieved what Mourinho wanted .

Although Klinsmann's arrangement for them is nothing special, it is quite satisfactory.He is a very smart person, at least he knows that Chelsea's defense is very good, so he didn't perform too much surgery on Chelsea's defense, he was only making changes to the frontcourt.His move did not weaken Chelsea's defense too much, and after getting the protection of Essien and Ballack, Makelele's shortcomings were further covered up, which made him more effective in playing football. Zhao Yaning tried to launch an offense from the beginning of the game, but soon, he was stopped by Chelsea’s impeccable defense.They are still the best defensive team in Europe, no one can deny this.

But in terms of offense, today's Chelsea is not what it used to be.

Chelsea's attacks, during Mourinho's time, have always been extremely simple and rude.However, although simple and rude, relying on their excellent player abilities and tactical arrangements, they can always receive excellent results.But this way of playing is also the most troublesome way of playing.Always rely on the two sideways to break through quickly, and the two sideways will naturally be targeted.The style of play in the Premier League is already rough, and Robben and Duff have suffered a lot of injuries.From the 0405 season, the era of Duff Robben's bilateral enemies, to 0506, Joe Cole has more and more opportunities, not without reason.

And Duff is old this season, it is difficult to meet the tactical needs, and now there are even rumors of a transfer.Although Robben is still excellent, his injuries have increased a lot.The newly bought Wright Phillips method achieves the effect of those two, and Joe Cole and them are not a tactical feature at all. These changes have also allowed Chelsea to continue their previous playing methods.

Moreover, at this time, there is another extremely important reason on Chelsea's head: Abramovich doesn't like to watch defensive football. Although the rich Russian boss is willing to pay, he doesn't ask for nothing.

In addition to winning the championship, he also likes to watch the football by himself. Moreover, his so-called watching the football is not to watch the excitement to see who wins and who loses. He watches the football from the sidelines every game, and he has somewhat begun to understand football. The shadow of the emperor has his own preferences.What makes Chelsea feel unfortunate is that he doesn't like the blood and toughness that Chelsea advertises very much, but prefers to watch beautiful offensive football.Football during Mourinho's period has been deemed not beautiful. What he wants to see is a more beautiful way of playing.And let Chelsea Literature Network let these people play offensive football.

When Mourinho was there, he always instilled a thought in Abramovich: it is difficult to win the championship with beautiful football, and although defensive football is ugly, it is more likely to win the championship.This kind of statement, relying on the achievements of Mourinho's leadership, was accepted by Abramovich at first, but after the failure of last season, Abramovich was already doubting, and Barcelona and Arsenal's meeting in the Champions League final, Let Abramovich make up his mind to change coaches: two offensive teams meet in the final, so why say that offensive football can't win?If you want money, he has it; if you want people, he can buy it.There is nothing lacking for you. Why can't you play the football I want and make me happy to watch the team win the championship?

This season, that is also Klinsmann's big challenge: to play beautiful football.And Klinsmann is not like Mourinho, he also promised this: to play beautiful football.

It's just that the current Chelsea is really too clever for a woman.Although Chelsea's four midfielders all have very good passing abilities, Essien and Ballack also have a certain ability to dribble and score, but the problem is that none of them have excellent ball movement skills. The ability to connect and cooperate, or when facing the opponent's defense, has a strong personal breakthrough ability.Without the support of the ball movement, they will not be able to pass the football beautifully, and without enough breakthrough ability, they will be helpless in the face of the opponent's defense.If they can rely on their absolute physical superiority to forcibly run over teams that are not physically good enough, then when they meet Liverpool, who are not at all inferior to them in physical fitness, they They don't even have the capital to run over.

And Drogba and Shevchenko on their forward line, on the one hand, they still can't cooperate, on the other hand, they also don't have very good ability to work alone, and they don't have suitable tactics. Against Liverpool, it is also difficult for them to play a role.

"Although Chelsea spent a lot of money, we can see that they played really badly. From the beginning to now, more than 20 minutes have passed, and they have hardly launched a decent offensive. It won't even reach their feet, the Liverpool players have been carrying the ball, occupying the initiative on the field, they can attack at any time, and for Chelsea, they now have the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, no Know when Liverpool's attack will fall."

At this time, Zhao Yaning was running and thinking about how to attack.He could see that it was not so much that Chelsea won the ball, but that Chelsea took the initiative to hand over the ball to Liverpool-in this way, although Liverpool had more opportunities, relying on their defensive ability, They can guard against it.Moreover, with the ball at Liverpool's feet, Chelsea naturally freed up more opportunities to grab the ball, and Liverpool always inevitably pass the ball backwards. At this time, for Chelsea, it is a good time to attack.

If it is said that Chelsea in the Mourinho era still had some quick impact and majestic atmosphere when they counterattacked, the current counterattack concept has deprived even the last trace of spectacle.The loss of Robben has had a huge impact on them. Now they are almost talking about the strength of their opponents. Anyway, they are directly in a hard fight.The only difference lies in the outcome after the bitter battle.

This kind of wing play is actually extremely unsuitable for the Premier League.However, relying on the outstanding strength of the players, Chelsea is still a strong team.They have a sufficiently thick midfielder, and the defensive work of the two wings can be regarded as making up for it. Now Chelsea, relying on a sufficiently good defense, such a style of play is not without merit.

However, no matter how good the team is, there are some chronic diseases that are difficult to get rid of.At Chelsea's right-back position, it is really impossible to get an "excellent" player.Ferreira spent a lot of money to introduce, but in the Champions League, he was kicked into a sieve by Ronaldinho, and in the league, he was grabbed and beaten by Zhao Yaning.After buying Del Horno, after one season, he found that his performance was not as reliable as Ferreira. This season, Ferreira was used again.

In fact, as a defender, Ferreira is good in everything else, but his speed is too slow.Facing him, Zhao Yaning's best way is naturally to prepare to eat it raw by speed.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning didn’t hesitate too much, and kicked the ball to the left. Riise received the ball and immediately “inserted” it along the sideline quickly. They ran together.Essien was running beside Zhao Yaning, trying to block Zhao Yaning’s line of receiving the ball.At this time, Riise didn't choose to directly plug the ball with one kick. He picked up the ball with one kick and fell in the direction of Zhao Yaning. [

Zhao Yaning ran forward, as if he was going to compete for the first spot of the ball, Essien followed him closely, trying to intercept him.However, Zhao Yaning suddenly stopped, jumped up, headed the ball, and passed the ball to Gerrard.Taking advantage of Essien's hesitation, he had already ran to the left, and at this time, Gerrard passed the ball and kicked it in the direction of Zhao Yaning.

Ferreira knew that Zhao Yaning’s target would definitely be himself—the whole Chelsea stood in a row and counted, and his ability was the worst. When these good attackers played Chelsea, they didn’t grab the weakness of the right wing and die. filmed?But what Ferreira thought of at this time was not how to stop Zhao Yaning. He knew very well that once Zhao Yaning received the ball and started to attack, it was not something he could stop.Being often pierced by others also gave him enough self-knowledge. If he wants to play skills with Zhao Yaning, he himself will only be played miserably.

However, at this time, there are other ways.

When Zhao Yaning tried to catch the ball, Ferreira went straight to meet him. He first kicked the ball towards the ball. When Zhao Yaning dodged sideways, he also found the opportunity. The jersey directly dragged Zhao Yaning to the ground.

"Ferreira made a foul! The foul was timely. At least, he tried to make Zhao Yaning's momentum drop. Moreover, this angle is not very good, and this foul is still very effective."

Even if you can't stop it, you have to rely on your aura to keep the opponent from being too arrogant.If Zhao Yaning firmly grasps this point to fight, Ferreira will suffer sooner or later.But now, relying on a foul, he told Zhao Yaning that if he wanted to bully him here, he had to be prepared to pay the price. Ferreira might not be able to stop him, but he would never allow him to treat himself as air.

However, after seeing Zhao Yaning got up, looking at the goal and the smile on his face, Ferreira also thought instantly: the opponent is an excellent set-piece master, isn't his approach too hasty?
