Chapter 50 Scolari and Chelsea
Chapter 47 Scolari and Chelsea

The next morning, Gao Bo read the newspaper while having breakfast. The newspaper system in England has always been developed, and Gao Bo usually read some interesting news in the newspaper.

The sports section of "The Times" reported a piece of heavy news that attracted Gao Bo's attention. It was news about Chelsea. Luton was going to play Chelsea away in the next game. Gao Bo was very interested in news about Chelsea's current situation.

".Drogba claimed in an exclusive interview with "French Football" magazine that he almost lost his passion for football in 2008 because he did not receive enough support from Chelsea. Drogba said that in the huge blow of his grandmother's death, the Chelsea club did not give him the care he deserved, and he did not get the main position he deserved in Chelsea. Erka is indeed very good, but Scolari should make himself a partner of Anelka, not sit on the bench."

Gao Bo stopped when he saw this, and he mobilized the memory of his previous life.

How did Scolari get out of class?Of course, it is inseparable from his poor grades, and Abramovich is not a patient boss, so Scolari will probably be fired by Abramovich in early February after finishing his work for this month.
Gao Bo turned on the phone, sure enough, he remembered correctly.Just yesterday, December 28th, in the West London derby, Chelsea was led by two goals and was scored twice by Fulham. At this time, Scolari's situation was very difficult.

At that time, Lampard scored 2 goals in a row, but Fulham tied the score with Dempsey's two goals. At that time, Chelsea fans booed in the away game, mocking Scolari "you don't know what you are doing".

There are many reasons why Abramovich fired Mourinho. Maybe it was because he could not make a breakthrough in the European war. Putting Abramovich’s friend Shevchenko on the bench may also be part of the reason, but there is another very important reason. , Abramovich doesn't like Mourinho's football style.

What Abramovich hopes is that Chelsea can play gorgeous football, but Mourinho ignored the boss's request. He still managed Chelsea according to his own ideas, turning Chelsea into an iron-blooded blue army.However, Abramovich did not appreciate Mourinho's work, and in the end Mourinho was fired by Abramovich and left Chelsea.

Grant, an Israeli, led Chelsea for half a season. Although this friend of Abramovich finally led the team to the Champions League final, he lost to Manchester United in the final. In the league, Chelsea was also overwhelmed by Manchester United.

It was replaced by the Brazilian Scolari. When he took over Chelsea, Scolari claimed that he wanted to bring Brazil's "sexy football" to Chelsea.

"Although I work in the English league, my idea is to try to make Chelsea's style as close as possible to the Brazilian team. Although the two styles of football are quite different, we will try our best to dribble, control and pass the ball as much as possible. We will try our best. However, I will still respect the characteristics of each player. Some players in the current combination of the team tend to be Brazilian in style, while other players only need to maintain their existing style." On the first day of taking charge of Chelsea, Scolari said in the media.

But in fact, are Chelsea players really suited to playing Brazilian-style football?
The consecutive victories at the beginning of the season gave Chelsea fans some hope. In the first eight rounds of the league, Chelsea had six wins and two draws, scoring [-] points and ranking first in the league.At that time, almost all Chelsea fans were worshiping the world champion coach Scolari.

However, after losing to Liverpool at home in the ninth round, Chelsea's state began to decline. In the No.15 round of the league, Chelsea lost to Arsenal at home, which made Scolari start to be questioned by the media.

To sum up, Scolari's doubts mainly focus on three aspects:
The first is tactical rigidity.At the beginning of the season, because Drogba was injured and missed, and Robinho was robbed by Manchester City, Scolari could only form a single forward formation.This tactic worked well at first, and it also benefited Anelka a lot, but now the opponents are not interested in Chelsea's single striker tactic, because they all know that as long as they gather heavy troops in the midfield, then Anelka will be useless.With Drogba back from injury, this was originally a good opportunity for Scolari to change to a double striker, but he insisted on his own opinion. As a result, it was difficult for Chelsea to win at home, and now even the away winning streak has ended.

The second is too little rotation.Half of this season's league has passed, but Scolari has rarely actively rotated players except for injuries, especially Terry, Petr Cech, Bosingwa, A-Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Deco and Anelka. - Cole will get that treatment too.Not easy rotation is conducive to maintaining the stability of the team, but a policy of "never rotation" like Scolari may only bring adverse effects on players' physical fitness and status.

The other is on-the-spot command ability.Who has been substituted the most in Chelsea this season?The answer is Belletti!Next came Ferreira, Drogba, Kalou and others. Bridge and Ivanovic also had 3 substitutes each. That is to say, Scolari often replaced defensive players in the game.It is understandable to replace defensive players when the team is leading, but like yesterday's game against Fulham, when Chelsea desperately needed a victory, Scolari replaced Bridge at the last moment to strengthen the defense.

Scolari's tactics are rigid and lack of change, and he is stubborn, unwilling to make changes easily.This made it increasingly difficult for him at Chelsea.

Regardless of the reason, in short, the current state of Chelsea is bad, and the generals in the locker room are not in harmony. For Luton, this may be a good opportunity to beat the opponent
Gao Bo rubbed his chin with his palm, thoughtful.
