Chapter 184 Impassable Defense!
This exchange tactic makes Chelsea execute very smoothly. After all, a midfield combination like Chelsea lacks creativity and has more than enough defense. It is definitely not a loss to pay the price of a defender to get rid of the opponent's midfield core.

But today’s Chelsea is different. When Chelsea used such tactics in the past, most of the time there were three midfielders with both toughness and defense. Even if one midfielder could not be in position, there were still two midfielders who could perform defensive tasks.And today, once Makelele is out of position, only Lampard will be left alone to sit in the backcourt, which is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea's defense.

Yunfei was completely locked up by Makelele for the time being, but Yunfei was not prepared to compete with his opponent. If he really wanted to perform, he still had a chance, but that would consume too much energy, and he hadn't reached that point yet.Yunfei can already see the opponent's current problems on the defensive end. Lampard is not Makelele after all. His defensive coverage and hardness are worse than Makelele's.

Soon, Suleman seized an opportunity, taking advantage of Lampard's inability to return to a defensive position, tossing the river in Chelsea's backcourt, dribbling the ball all the way.

Carvalho stepped forward and tried to hinder the opponent's advance, but he didn't expect that what Suleman was waiting for was you to come out. Taking advantage of the huge gap left behind after the opponent came out, he made a light through pass and successfully connected with Bell who quickly broke through the sidewalk!
At the critical moment, Terry suddenly came out from the side, and with a clean tackle, the ball was destroyed out of the bottom line!

Chelsea survived!
"Hey! Guys! Pull yourself together!"

"Frank, you can no longer plug in, you must always stand in your defensive position!"

"Claude, you can't go too far, you have to take into account the team's defense!"

Terry got up from the ground and yelled at his teammates immediately. Although he was not too old, this very experienced central defender immediately realized that there was a problem with the team's defense.

Lampard stretched out his hand to Terry apologetically, saying it was his problem.After all, according to the tactical arrangement, after he returned to the position of the midfielder, he shouldn't be inserted so deep and so frequently.

Soon, Southampton took a corner kick. Because it was a corner kick defense, Makelele did not follow Yunfei too closely, allowing Yunfei to find an opportunity and pass a cross with an excellent arc from the side!

Jones, who was at the back point, jumped high, used his body to hold down Del Horno, who was also about to jump, and shook his head to attack the goal!

At the critical moment, it was Cech again!The Czech goalkeeper once again used his god-level reaction to save the team in a critical moment!

At this time, Mourinho on the sidelines frowned deeply, watching Chelsea's constant danger in front of the goal on the field, he wondered if he should make adjustments immediately.Of course, he also understands that even though Chelsea is very strong defensively, it is still too reluctant to let Lampard play a full-time defensive midfielder alone.But Mourinho also has his concerns. If an offensive player is removed at this time, it will be really difficult for Chelsea to create a threat in the frontcourt if they lose the ball later!
At this moment, Mourinho saw Yunfei once again used a corner kick to test his goal with a long shot. At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore. If he didn't make any adjustments, he might lose the ball in front of him!

"Oh, we saw that Coach Mourinho is going to choose to make a substitution. Essien is already standing on the sideline. Who will he replace?"

"Gudjohnsen! Sure enough, Mourinho chose to replace him. It seems that Mourinho is not very satisfied with the team's defensive performance in the second half, and Gudjohnsen's role on the field is not so obvious. This substitution is easy to understand."

Gudjohnsen walked off the field in frustration and failed to score against the Championship team. This disappointed the Icelanders, who had struggled recently and had difficulty getting a chance to play.

Mourinho patted Gudjohnsen on the shoulder. For the Icelander, he still appreciates him. He is diligent, hardworking, and meticulous. He always puts tactical execution first, and at the same time he does not reject putting in defense. Coupled with his creativity that emerges from time to time on the field, this is why Mourinho chose him instead of Crespo!Of course, this is also related to Crespo's inability to find his peak state for most of the season and his inability to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

When Essien came on the field, Chelsea's defense immediately stabilized, and Makelele returned to the center. Lampard and Essien were separated from each other.As soon as he went on the field and had several body collisions with Yunfei, Yunfei immediately realized that compared with this person, most of the players in the world are no match for the opponent, let alone him.

Being able to do some physical entanglement with Makelele, who is already a little older, is already Yunfei's limit. There is no other way, Yunfei can only try to avoid the other party.

It has to be said that Mourinho's adjustments were immediate. After Essien came on the field, he immediately increased the hardness of the midfield by a large amount, and Southampton's offense was immediately pushed back.

Suleman's several dribbles in the frontcourt were all roughly intercepted by the opponent, which basically means that Southampton's attempt to find opportunities from the middle has completely failed!
For a while, although Chelsea did not continue to expand the score, the morale of the Southampton players suddenly fell. It is so depressing that they clearly saw the dawn of the goal coming, but the opponent easily resolved the danger!
The only gratifying thing is that after Chelsea put their focus on defense, their offensive threat has also become smaller, and the pressure on Annampton's defense has dropped sharply. Although Duff and Joe Cole are still very active, Drogba alone in the penalty area is hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and it can't cause too much trouble.

This situation is very familiar and even comfortable for Chelsea players. They don’t know how many similar games they have played. All they need is victory. As for who the opponent is and how the scene is, no matter the players or fans, including the coach, everyone may not care too much except their boss Abramovich who is not very satisfied! ''
