I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 43 League Cup Final

Wembley Stadium, first built in 1923, was overthrown and rebuilt in 2000, and completed in 2007 with a cost of 7.8 million pounds. It is a circular stadium with a diameter of nearly 300 meters. The stands are 52 meters high and the world's largest single-arch sign with a height of 133 meters. It is the largest professional football stadium in Europe.

The final of the 2007-2008 English League Cup will be held at Wembley Stadium on February 2.Coincidentally, both sides of the game are also teams from London, so there is no need to run too far.

For this game, Yunqiao also arranged for some players who usually come off the bench to start. After all, he said at the beginning that domestic cup games should use substitute players as much as possible.Such as goalkeeper Cudicini;
Bridge, Ashley Cole, Ferreira and Robert Huth were used at the back;

The main lineup was sent in the midfield, Makelele, Lampard and Ballack;
Joe Cole and Malouda were on the front, and Drogba was at the top.

Yunqiao originally wanted to play Arshavin and Sheva, but was rejected by the assistant coaches. Sheva's current strength is really difficult to start.As for Arshavin, he didn't seem to adapt to the intensity of the game when he came to the Premier League, which disappointed Yunqiao. He likes to dribble too much now, and his body is not as strong as Drogba, so he is easy to lose the ball.

Yunqiao has been asking him to speed up the pace of dribbling, or to be decisive so that others have no chance to press.What Yunqiao is most satisfied with is that he has a good attitude. He can always complete the training arranged by the coaching staff meticulously, and he often pulls Ivan to practice more.

Tottenham are doing their best this time. The only thing Yunqiao can't understand is that Ramos did not use the combination of Robbie Gene and Berbatov, but instead replaced Berbatov with Darren Bent.

It seems that he wants to beat Chelsea in terms of speed. Darren Bent's speed is good, and his dribbling skills are also very good. Of course, Berbatov must be more powerful in terms of shooting ability.But Berbatov has a problem that everyone knows, he doesn't like to run, and Brother Xiaosha's name is not covered.

Yunqiao sat in the box with Abramovich, Peter Kenyon and others, and could no longer command on the field. Yunqiao was really unhappy.

Abramovich also found that Yunqiao was not very interested, and comforted him: "Yun, don't worry, we have won Tottenham so many times, and we will definitely win this time."

Yunqiao is not as optimistic as he is. This final is just a match. It is not an ordinary league. Tottenham and the others will definitely not let this champion go. .

"I hope!" Everything that can be done has been done, and it depends on the result.

The referee blew his whistle and the game officially started. Fans from both sides filled Wembley. After all, it was at home in London. Boiling cheers filled the entire stadium. Some fans even opened their shirts and shouted loudly. .

Chelsea likes to attack for a while at the beginning of the game. This is also the habit of Yunqiao leading the team. Attack for a while, slow down for a while, and let the opponent run at their own pace.

After Drogba came back, he was in top form and was not affected by the FAFL game. In the opening 3 minutes, he passed defender Pascal in the penalty area, turned around and took a shot, but the shot was too direct, and he hit directly. In the arms of goalkeeper Raddicioni.

Drogba patted his head in frustration, what a pity.

Not only Drogba, but all the Chelsea fans present sighed, but then the "Come on" became louder, surpassing the Tottenham fans in terms of momentum.

After 5 minutes, Lampard received a long pass from Joe Cole on the edge of the penalty area. He volleyed without stopping the ball, but unfortunately the ball was not held down and went to the stands.

After watching for 10 minutes, Yunqiao probably also saw why Ramos didn't let Berbatov play. He needs a forward who can participate in defense.Judging by Tottenham's appearance, they want to defend a penalty.

However, the first yellow card was given to Ballack. After receiving the ball, Robbie Neo faced Ballack and saw that he quickly made a few cycling movements with both feet. Ballack is not a very good defense after all. The player was accidentally swayed by him.Seeing that Robbie Keane wanted to go, he pulled him down with a backhand.

The referee gave him a topaz card. In fact, in Yunqiao's view, there was absolutely no need for Ballack to foul. Behind him were Ashley and Ferreira.

Facing the bus placed by Tottenham in the backcourt, it is really difficult for Chelsea players to find a chance to break the game.

Time passed bit by bit, but the scene was so quiet that even the fans didn't want to shout. After 20 minutes of attacking, Brito also asked the team to stop the attacking.

Yunqiao, who was watching the ball in the box, was a little anxious. Breaking the dense defense meant long-range shots and set kicks, but Chelsea's players didn't have many long-range shots, and Tottenham didn't let them get a well-positioned set-kick.

Abramovich suddenly said to Yunqiao at this time: "Yun, you see why I like offensive football. Even the fans may not like games like this."

Yunqiao knew what Abu wanted to express, didn't he just want to play the scene beautifully?This is not difficult, but it is difficult to be beautiful and win.

"Roman," Yunqiao said slowly: "With the current Chelsea players, we can score big results, but it is difficult to play beautifully."

Indeed, Chelsea's existing players are not very creative players, the only one who may be better is Joe Cole.

"Yun," Abu shook his head, "You misunderstood me. I didn't mean to play possession. Like your previous game, the open and closed scenes made people more excited."

"Roman, Yun," Peter said from the side: "I heard that Ronaldinho's position in Barcelona is very embarrassing, and there may be a chance to introduce him in summer."

Roman didn't speak, but looked at Yunqiao, who shook his head slightly: "Roman is only famous now, and he has too many problems off the court, are you sure he can play football with peace of mind when he comes to London? "

London is one of the busiest cities in the UK, and of course it has the most entertainment of that kind.

"If you have a chance, you can ask Kaka," Yunqiao proposed the player.

Kaka's style of play is Yunqiao's favorite. It is simple and direct, with a feeling of simplifying complexity.Moreover, if you take it easy by yourself, maybe Kaka's peak period can be longer.

Both are the kings of Brazil, but to be honest, Abramovich and the others must also prefer Kaka.

"Is it just that Milan will let people go?" Peter said.

"Ask."

While they were talking, the dull first half was over and the score was still 0-0.

After talking to Abu and the others, Yunqiao went to the locker room.

"We have to speed up a little in the second half," Yunqiao came to the locker room, "the opponent wants to take us to a penalty kick, so we must open up the situation."

Yunqiao looked at Joe Cole, and the one with the strongest ability to create opportunities was him saying: "Joe, you need to be more active in the second half."

Joe Cole nodded seriously.

　I don't know if the head coach can still enter the locker room during the intermission after the suspension, so I just wrote that he can.Don't be offended, everyone, thank you!
