Chapter 789 Super Bowl
As expected by UEFA, the appetizer of the Super Cup did not attract everyone's appetite. On the evening of September 9, the Eden Stadium was not full, but the number of spectators was still quite large, about 25 people , This is not bad, after all, Juventus and Chelsea are expeditions, and there are not many local fans.

Mourinho sent a 4231 formation in this game. He used to use a 433 formation more often at Chelsea. In the original formation, the three midfielders belonged to the all-round midfielder who can go up and down. Now he still has the conditions Use 433, but I have to say that with the growth of experience, Mourinho's coaching ideas still have some changes, 4231 is more inclined to attack.

This is his starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defender: Ivanovic, Cahill, Luis Cole
Defender: Ramires Lampard
Attacking midfielder: Schurrle Oscar Hazard

Forward: Torres
Mourinho did not let Captain Terry start at the central defender. Ramirez and Lampard are both offensive and defensive players at the midfielder position. Ramirez is more defensive, and Lampard has already Familiar with the offensive ability should not be underestimated.

Attacking midfielder Schurrle only moved to Chelsea this season. He has already played in the league before. His arrival also indirectly contributed to the departure of his compatriot Marin. Marin was previously at Werder Bremen. The performance is very good. Last season, Xia Chuang was woven under the command of Chelsea. It turned out that the thin Marin's performance in Chelsea was basically the same as that in Werder Bremen. The Premier League can't avoid physical confrontation anyway. On this topic, the Premier League is not without small players, but their physical fitness is definitely not bad. Chelsea's deal for Marin is definitely hotheaded.

Of course Mourinho knows this very well. He sent Marin out just after taking office this season, loaned it to Sevilla, and then bought Schurrle, who is similar in style to Marin but in better physical condition.

Oscar and Hazard are both "veterans" who joined last season. Oscar performed quite well, while Hazard performed very well. He scored 12 goals for Chelsea last season. Considering that he is only in his first season, Such a result is not easy.

Torres is a big problem on the front line, he won't score goals when he comes to Chelsea, no matter who is the coach, Chelsea really want to sell him now, but he occasionally shines, and his results are so poor, obviously No one is willing to take over. This is the cruelty of the real world. No matter how good you were before, many takers still consider your current level of competition. Few people are willing to make big bets and gamble.

It can't be sold, and the loan is not worthwhile. Abrahimovic can only force the team coach to use it, so Mourinho wants to strengthen the striker this summer but he can't get it.

Juventus is well-versed here.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defender: Barzali Bonucci Chiellini

Midfielder: Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah

Forward: Tevez Zhang Yuan
Tevez did not perform well in the last game, but Conte still voted for him. Llorente could only sit on the bench depressed. His situation is actually not bad. Giovinco and Quagliarella Chances will be even less in the new season.

Before it started, Zhang Yuan ran into Mourinho in the player tunnel. Mourinho greeted him with a smile. The two embraced warmly in front of the camera. After the game, this scene broke Zhang Yuan’s heart again There are conflicting statements with Mourinho.

With the whistle of the referee, the game between the two sides officially began. Chelsea kicked off first. They tried to use the traditional fast pace to deal with Juventus, but Mourinho's understanding of Juventus may not be so deep. Talk about it.

The current Juventus is not the Juventus of a year ago. It was very difficult to play against Chelsea. They are the European champions. The team has undergone obvious changes in temperament and confidence. The formation and tactics are obviously better than Chelsea. much.

After a few rounds of seesaw, Juventus had a slight advantage in possession of the ball. Chelsea's high-post press did not play a very good role, but their rhythm changed quickly. The midfield re-established a barrier, so 10 minutes into the game, the focus of the two teams' competition was still in the midfield.

Whether it is playing 433 or 4231, Mourinho is not worried about the ball possession rate. His forte is the quality of counterattacks. This does not allow Juventus to be careless. up.

In the 15th minute, Juventus attacked to the front of Chelsea's penalty area. After Tevez and Zhang Yuan hit the wall, they shot into the penalty area and shot. The ball was blocked by Cahill and the speed slowed down. Cech easily got the ball , and then he immediately dropped the ball and Chelsea launched a quick counterattack.Hazard broke through the center and tore through Juventus' defense. After passing Pirlo and Bonucci, he passed the ball to Schurrle on the right. , Buffon has nothing to do.

Chelsea 1:0 Juventus, Torres scored the goal!
Schurrle's passing speed is very fast, but Torres is really awesome. Facing such a ball, he can successfully find the spot, and the position of the focus is very accurate, with the style of the past.

Conte was furious at the players on the sidelines. He believed that the players did not do enough to protect the offense and such mistakes should not have occurred.

There is no way, Chelsea's counterattack is so fast, from Cech throwing the ball to breaking the goal, it is only a short time of more than ten seconds, Hazard's breakthrough is very important, and he did it.

Mourinho was calm and composed on the sidelines, as if everything was under his control, while Zhang Yuan was so depressed that he vomited blood on the court. This shit was too fast, and he also had complaints about the team's midfield , this follow-up defense is really not in place.

After Chelsea scored the first goal, Mourinho made his team intentionally recover a little bit. Of course, he is an experienced and capable coach. Recovery is quite limited, and it is hoped that such recovery can be achieved. Attract Juventus to press on the offense and reveal defensive flaws.

But he also miscalculated the situation. He said earlier that Juventus has changed, mainly because of the mentality of the players. They lost a goal so early. Of course, the Juventus players are also very annoyed psychologically, and Conte is also very annoyed. But everyone has not lost their minds, it is still early, and there is still a chance.

Juventus still played very hard, not in a hurry, not in a hurry. Mourinho saw that his strategy did not succeed, and he had nothing to regret. After all, he was the leader, so he did not believe in Juventus. will be indifferent.

Besides, even though Juventus didn't press heavily at this time, Chelsea still got a few chances to counterattack. Mourinho's team counterattacked quickly, and they sent the ball extremely fast after stealing.

Fortunately, eating a pit and gaining wisdom, Juventus's midfielder is not so stupid, and they are very focused. Chelsea failed to bring a substantial threat to Juventus' goal. Such a style of play led to a situation on the field. very dull.

At the end of the halftime game, Chelsea still lead 1:0. Although both Zhang Yuan and Carlos Tevez had chances, the results were not very good.

This kind of competition really made the audience not arouse any interest. They said that for a long time, there was more than enough confrontation and not enough excitement.

After Conte's locker room in the penalty area, he immediately arranged tactics for the team. Juventus played too hard in the first half, and the routine was too easy to see through. Chelsea was not afraid of Juventus's cross ball at all, and Juventus actually did. This method is rarely used. The sideways are more like widening the width of the defense. Most of the articles are done by Zhang Yuan and Carlos Tevez in the middle.

Their ability is strong, but it also makes Chelsea very targeted. It cannot be said that this striker partner is absolutely blocked, but at least they have not given many opportunities.

Conte's arrangement is very simple. You have to use the sideways. You can't just let the sideways watch from the sidelines and play the role of transition ball. Both Lichtsteiner and Asamoah should play some roles power.

What is more distressing is that Lichtsteiner and Asamoah are actually not the kind of players who are good at breakthroughs, but now Conte also has to ask them to be bolder, to look for breakthroughs at the right time, and to go forward a little deeper. Can you lean into the restricted area?
