I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 14 Mestalla Stadium

晚上8点45分，来自葡萄牙的主裁判罗塞蒂准时吹响了2007/2008赛季欧冠小组赛的第2轮，瓦伦西亚坐镇主场的梅斯塔利亚迎接切尔西的挑战。

The entire Mestalla can accommodate more than 5 people. Yunqiao took a look around and found that it was almost full. There were only more than 2 tickets for Chelsea fans. Before the game, Yunqiao also let the players go out to meet the fans Let's interact.Every fan who is willing to go abroad with the team is a diehard fan of the team, and Yunqiao feels that they are also an indispensable and important part of the team.

The lineup sent by Yunqiao today is almost the same as the last league game. Drogba is at the top and Sheva, who was predicted by the reporters before the game, is still placed on the bench. Behind Drogba are Joe Cole and Malouda, Kalu was replaced by Malouda because he is fast and can keep up with Joe Cole. Yunqiao wants them to break down the opponent's defense.

Lampard and Ballack are the same in the midfield, Makelele is behind, Ashley Cole, Terry, Paul Ferreira, Carvalho are lined up in the defense, and the goalkeeper cuts heh.

Valencia is also doing their best. Villa, Silva, Morientes, and Joaquin all appeared in the starting lineup. Their head coach Flores is only 37 years old, and he is also called a young player in Spain. He's handsome, but after Yunqiao came, no one mentioned it anymore.

At the start of the game, Chelsea took the lead, Joe Cole made a threat on the left, received a pass from Ballack, accelerated past the opponent's defender, and sent a kick on the edge of the penalty area, but it was a pity that the kick was not pressed. Live, kicked into the stands.

In this game, Flores sent a formation of 442. Joaquin and Silva were on one wing each, and Villa and Morientes were at the top. His idea was very simple, that is, to use two sides Lu's attack put Chelsea down.

However, Valencia, who played at home, quickly scored a goal. In the 9th minute, Ferreira's tackle did not go out of the line, but shoveled into the penalty area. At this time, Villa showed his top scorer With a strong sense of smell, he led the ball into the penalty area before Terry and the others came over, forming a single-handed fight. He did not go past Cech, and pushed the far corner at 14 yards. Cech could only look at the ball and sigh.

This goal also ignited the atmosphere of the Mestaley Stadium, cheers filled the audience, Yunqiao called Terry over, told them to hold on, we can win, well, he almost said "wretched development, Don't wave'.

This is just the beginning, don't rush.

The live broadcast was also very interesting. I found Chelsea boss Abramovich. He came from Russia to watch the football today. When he was photographed by the broadcaster, he was talking to the Valencia boss.

After scoring the goal, Valencia's morale soared and they launched wave after wave of attacks. However, Joaquin's speed was useless in front of Makelele. This small veteran used his own experience to give Hua Jin learned a lesson, playing football is not about playing fast.The interceptions again and again made Joaquin score the ball when he saw him.

Although Chelsea's offense is slow, it can be seen that they want to find some cooperation, and even deliberately find teammates to pass the ball and run the ball. The players know that Yunqiao has already said during training, In the future, it is necessary to receive and release the ball quickly on the field, which requires players to have a good judgment on the running position of their teammates.

In the 27th minute, Chelsea played a wonderful combination of team and individual ability. First, Ashley Cole launched an attack from the backcourt. Midfielder, passed to Lampard, Lampard and Ballack made a collision with the wall, at this time, Joe Cole was already on the left to keep up, Lampard passed quickly, when Joe Cole touched the ball, He didn't stop, swiped to the middle, dodged the defenders, Drogba pinned down the two Valencia defenders on the right side of the penalty area, Joe Cole found an angle to shoot, did not waste this opportunity, the football passed from the goal. Drilled in the lower right corner.

"Very good," Yunqiao and the coaches embraced enthusiastically, the ball was played so beautifully, without any delay, from Joe Cole receiving the ball to his shot, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, only five feet were passed, fast , Concise, this is the football that everyone likes to watch.This goal also made the Chelsea fans from afar shout excitedly. Although they were few in number, at this moment, Mestaley came to the stadium with only their cheers.

In this attack, Joe Cole performed very well, and his skills and speed were fully reflected.He is indeed the most talented and talented player in England other than Gascoigne. He is simply a jewel in the Premier League full of rough guys. His technical moves are much better than other English players.No wonder he is so famous in England.

At the beginning of this season, Joe Cole has shown a very strong state, either scoring or assisting. It seems that his engagement with his girlfriend has completely liberated his ability. He is dexterous and fast, and his passing and shooting skills have improved a lot. , except for his poor defensive ability, everything else is what a star should have.Although his defensive ability is not good, he has a good attitude, willing to return to defense, and willing to run back and forth like this.

Yunqiao feels that if Joe Cole can continue to play like this, he may be stronger than before, and now he has accelerated his improvement.

The team equalized the score, and Yunqiao felt that he could take this opportunity to attack. He saw that the opponent retreated, and the midfield line did not dare to go too far. He yelled at the field, and then waved his hand forward, telling the players to strengthen To attack, it is best to prevent the opponent from attacking.

There is a famous saying in martial arts that "the best defense is offense." In Yunqiao's understanding, it means that you use a fast attack so that the opponent has no time to think about counterattack.It also makes sense on the football field. The ball is in the opponent's frontcourt. Wave after wave of offense makes them unable to hold the ball. They can only kick forward with big feet. Isn't the ball back again? Well, you can attack again.

It's just that this kind of full-court pressing will be a big test for the players' physical strength. After all, this is a football field, not a basketball field.

Therefore, when this kind of pressing starts and when it ends depends on whether the coach can grasp the situation on the court well and make reasonable choices.

Sure enough, after 10 minutes of attacking, Chelsea got a harvest. The assist from Joe Cole took a corner kick from the right, which seemed to be aimed at Drogba, but there were three defensive players standing beside Drogba Jumping so far that he couldn’t jump up, let the ball fall to the back point. The German superstar Ballack was ambushing at the back point, but Villa was defending him. The difference in body size between the two was too great, and Ballack squeezed forward. , Villa couldn't stop it at all, the ball was already very low when it reached the back point, and it was definitely not possible to hit it with the head at this time, Ballack poked it with his toe, and the football slipped in from the lower left corner.

Chelsea's sudden acceleration was too fast, and Valencia was still immersed in Chelsea's slow rhythm at the beginning of the game. Who knew that he suddenly accelerated, and Valencia was caught off guard.

After the re-kick-off, Yunqiao saw that there was not much time and asked the players to stabilize and control the ball. Valencia must have been very disappointed after leading and then falling behind. Seeing that there was not much time, he did not attack again , the two sides pulled up in the midfield.

However, Chelsea's three midfielders were better able to protect the ball than Valencia's two midfielders.
