Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 367 Exquisite Dice

Chelsea's 'thick-skinned' defensive tactics are really a bit dumbfounding.

Faced with such a defense, Millwall has few options.

Zhang Yang turned his head and glanced at Mourinho. The latter was watching the game with a frown. He probably wasn't in a good mood, but it was really... amazing to let the team use such shameless tactics!
That's Chelsea!

Chelsea is recognized as one of the most luxurious teams in the world, especially after supplementing the lineup in the summer, their lineup is so luxurious that even the top giants are amazed, and they can only stick to the strategy of "one superstar a year" until now, and there are still some failures 'Galaxy Battleship' Real Madrid can compare, but it is impossible for Real Madrid to defend across the board. They would rather lose to their opponents by a big score than retreat across the board with the cheek.

Perhaps it is also a difference in league style. Chelsea give people the feeling that their defense is solid, and Mourinho never cares about the game process. The 'utilitarian' style of play is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as they win the final victory, the tactical process will be considered is correct.

"Mourinho deserves to be a top coach! He is also a cheeky top coach."

Zhang Yang sighed.

He thought of a Chinese proverb, "Hooligans are not scary, but they are educated!"

For a team like Blackburn, it is not terrible to play a full-line defensive tactic, because their hard power lies there, and a strong team can use various methods to find opportunities to score goals.

In football, one ball can decide the outcome.

As long as the opponent's goal is broken, it is meaningless for the opponent to defend.

Chelsea is different.

Chelsea's lineup is too gorgeous, with three defensive midfielders Lampard, Makelele, and Essien lying across the penalty area line, any team will have a headache. If Terry and Carvalho are added behind, it will appear The current situation of the game: Millwall kept on the outside, but couldn't pass the ball to a threatening position. He could only take a "symbolic" shot from the outside for two consecutive attacks.

David Livermore's long-range shot was threatening enough, but he kicked his foot from 30 meters away, and the football had to pass through the crowd in the penalty area. It was a fantasy to score.

There's nothing good about Millwall.

The previous methods of breaking dense defenses such as long-range shots and lob passes lost most of their effects under Chelsea's "cheek-skinned" tactics.

but……

Just like the analysis just now, this kind of 'cheek-skinned' defensive tactic is not guaranteed to be successful. It only needs to break the goal once, and Millwall has already taken the lead.

So Millwall is in no rush.

Chelsea want to delay until the intermission. Now that the game has reached this point, let them continue to delay.

----

At the end of the first half, Millwall launched consecutive attacks, but most of them were on the outside. The number of times they scored in the penalty area was good, and Chelsea's tentative passes were also destroyed by Chelsea.

This also made Mourinho slightly relieved.

At the end of the first half, Mourinho glanced at Zhang Yang. Only then did he realize that Zhang Yang did not have the iconic poker in his hand, but replaced it with a pair of exquisite dice. The two dice are exquisite. It's like two works of art, which just fill the entire palm of your hand when you put them together.

Zhang Yang played with one hand.

The two dice were spinning back and forth in the palm of his hand. His movements were very skillful, and he didn't pay any attention to the dice, but the dice kept spinning in opposite directions.

"What is this doing?"

Mourinho is a little confused, he doesn't understand the profound Chinese culture.

Zhang Yang glanced at Mourinho, with a chuckle on his face, he suddenly walked over and said, "Mr. Mourinho, Chelsea's performance is very good, but we are still ahead, you know why ?"

Mourinho felt that Zhang Yang was satirizing Chelsea, and he didn't want to continue the verbal dispute, so he would walk away with a cold snort.

Zhang Yang continued, "Because this is God's arrangement!"

"God?" Mourinho turned his head and said sharply, "I don't believe in God, but I know that you don't believe it either. God doesn't favor pagans."

"That's not necessarily true."

Zhang Yang put two dice in front of Mourinho's eyes, holding one in each hand. The Portuguese was a little confused, so he wanted to see what the other party was going to do.

"I used two hands to throw them up at the same time, and after they fell, they got the maximum points, which can prove that God favors Millwall."

Zhang Yang talked about throwing two dice.

The two dice flew half a meter high, then spun and fell, Zhang Yang's two hands used them respectively, and when he opened it again, there were exactly two 'six o'clocks' on the front.

Mourinho stared blankly.

"God really favors Millwall." Zhang Yang turned and walked away with a smile. He also had to explain to the team how to play in the second half.

Mourinho also walked away.

He kept thinking about the scene just now. The two dice rose normally, but when they were in the other party's hands, how could they become the one with the highest number of points?

"How did he do that?"

Mourinho absolutely does not believe that God favors such nonsense, so the opponent's two dice should be magic dice with "tricks".

Mourinho immediately 'knowledge', "You actually used children's things to lie to me... You are really young! Even this kind of thing is interested. God? Speaking of God, he will definitely favor Chelsea, Because I am the manager of Chelsea!"

----

Zhang Yang was just making a small joke with Mourinho.

The two dice are the 'precognition' props that replace playing cards, but they are definitely not 'magic products'. He just used his 'body memory imitation' ability to remember the feeling of throwing two 'six points', and walked to Murini Use it again in front of Ao, to fool the opponent a little.

That feeling is not easy to find.

Even if you imitate once with the ability of 'Body Memory Imitation', you will naturally forget it if you don't use it for a long time. After all, as long as there is a slight difference in throwing dice, the result will change.

After returning to the locker room, Zhang Yang talked about the first half, praised the performance of the players, and briefly emphasized the need to pay more attention to defense.

Tactics are fine.

The team is still in the stage of adapting to the 'dual-core' tactics. Some problems are caused by the players' unfamiliarity with the tactics, and they cannot be solved just by talking about them. The current style of play is enough for the team to gain an advantage in the situation.

This is enough.

But just having an advantage in the situation is not enough. Chelsea must not be reconciled to losing the game. When they are behind, they will definitely find a way to limit Millwall and find opportunities to score.

----

Things improved in the second half.

Chelsea did not continue their "cheeky" pure defensive play, and started an orderly defense against Millwall's offense.

Simpson was also limited.

Essien and Makelele's running range has increased, helping Lampard to defend Morris, and will also 'take care' of Simpson. Kalou's retracement frequency on the striker has also increased, helping Chelsea to strengthen their defense.

Millwall continued to use cooperation to find loopholes in Chelsea's defense.

Millwall creates a threat mainly by relying on the flexibility of the midfield, the cooperation between the center and the wing, the cooperation between the two core players, and the echo between the front and back courts. Continuous passing is Millwall's most effective weapon.

This continuous passing is not the same as Barcelona's possession play, nor is it the same as Arsenal's fast break play.

Millwall is probably between Arsenal and Barcelona. The team's passing tends to be horizontal and forward, and the ball-handling ability driven by the two cores is much more than that of Arsenal.

Millwall continued to pass the coordinated offense, which also made the game look very technical.

In many media discussions, they were also surprised to praise——
"This Millwall team has turned into a completely technical team! It's unbelievable that they played an ugly counter-attack last season!"

"Millwall's attack was fantastic and they showed the crowd what a top team can do!"

"Millwall's style of play makes people think of Barcelona and Arsenal. They have become completely different!"

"This kind of football will attract a lot of people!"

"More importantly, their style of play is very effective, and Chelsea's defense seems stretched..."

"This is the power of dual-core tactics!"

"This season has just started, and Zhang Yang has brought something new to Millwall. Millwall's offensive football has brought unexpected surprises to the fans!"

"..."

During Millwall's offensive, Mourinho frowned again, but he had nothing to do. Chelsea was one goal behind and couldn't continue to stick to the goal. They had to attack and hit the front to have a chance.

Now that's all there is to do on defense, if you want to turn the tide of the battle, you still have to look at offense.

Compared with the stretched defense, Chelsea's offense is much easier to play.

Chelsea's cooperation is also good. The three midfielders can support the frontcourt. The strikers Shevchenko, Drogba and Kalou are all good. Chelsea's tactics are total defense. The entire formation moves forward push-forward.

Chelsea's offense is launched in a gorgeous form. They are striving to equalize the score as soon as possible. As long as they can score a goal, they can take half of the initiative back. At that time, the two will stand on the same starting line. Millwall's tactics are no matter how high-end , It is not so easy to beat Chelsea.

But the gorgeous offensive does not mean that they can score goals, and Chelsea did not find a good opportunity for continuous onslaught.

So how to break the game?
Millwall's defense is also a headache. The only loophole may be the single defender, but when the defensive formation is erected, the double midfielder is equal to the double defender. Darren Ward standing at the end is a bit like a 'clear' Dolph's feeling, sitting at the back, did not directly participate in the defense most of the time, Chelsea broke through Millwall's defense, and still had to face a Darren Ward.

Mourinho has a headache, and the players on the field have even more headaches. If other players are better, Shevchenko is different.

Shevchenko hopes that he can perform well, and he was extremely confident before the game. He scored two goals in two league rounds, which is the biggest proof, and he performed better than other teammates.

Now it’s really time for the match against Millwall, and he found that the reminder from his teammates made sense, “Millwall is not easy to deal with!”

"Don't underestimate them because they are small clubs, they are the defending champions!"

"We lost twice last season!"

"I hope to win back this time..."

"..."

Shevchenko has already experienced it deeply.

Before this game, he never believed that there were players who could rely on their personal ability to defend against him.

Now he believes it.

The guy next to him is simply a monster. Not to mention his extremely strong body, his reaction speed is very fast, and his physical fitness is also very abundant. In Millwall's offense and defense, the opponent's midfielder has to run back and forth. Sometimes he retreated quickly and sprinted, and Shevchenko felt that the opponent ran twice as far as himself.

The results of it?
The other party just panted slightly.

Shevchenko felt that his legs were a little stiff, and he was a little tired from the high-intensity game.

Shevchenko is very unwilling and has been trying to find opportunities, but he must admit that he has no good way to take this guy.

----

In the No. 70 minute of the game, the score on the field was still 1-0, and Millwall led Chelsea by one goal.

At this time, the reporters in the media seats, TV commentators, and football commentators all looked at each other in blank dismay. They did not expect the game to go to this point. The strong Chelsea had nothing to do with Millwall, and Millwall It is playing gorgeous offensive football.

The game was the exact opposite of what was predicted.

Those who support Chelsea already have an ominous premonition in their hearts: I am afraid that Chelsea will lose to Millwall!

Check out the game!
Chelsea's offense always seemed a little anticlimactic. Shevchenko, who had high hopes, became a glass man. Drogba got a limited number of times, and Kalou played more on defense.

In terms of midfield.

Lampard is still in a downturn. In terms of offense, Makelele and Essien are hard to count on.

Not to mention the back line.

Chelsea can't even do a good job defensively. Facing Millwall's gorgeous offensive, their defensive formation is a bit messy, and occasionally there will be dangerous loopholes.

This scene is really surprising.

Before the game, more people were optimistic about Chelsea. They believed that the reason for Chelsea's victory was a stronger lineup.

But looking at it now, it is Millwall who has performed well as a single player. Millwall striker Darren Bent, midfielder Simpson, Pires, and midfielders Zambrotta and Livermore all performed well.

All of Chelsea's stars are turned off.

What's next?
Many people looked to the Chelsea coaching bench, hoping that Mourinho could do something.

At this time, Mourinho was more helpless than others, his tactics were worse than his opponents, and the players were generally out of shape. Even if he had a thousand abilities, it would not help at all.

But he has to do something.

Mourinho considered it and finally made a decision.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Chelsea signaled a substitution and Sean Wright-Phillips replaced Shevchenko.
