Chapter 578 306 Tactical Contest
Trapani's situation is not necessarily better than Chelsea's. Dellas, who doesn't play much, is injured, which can't affect the overall situation. Pizarro is not allowed to change his position, which means that Trapani will play in another way. He must have more possession of the ball to fit Pizarro's technical characteristics.

Trapani's starting lineup looks like this:
Goalkeeper: Kameni
Defenders: Maicon, Victor, Barzagli, Evra
Midfielders: Ballack, Pizarro, Essien

Forwards: Klose, Toni, Messi

Today, there are also substitutions on the front line. Since entering the knockout round, what surprised everyone is that the little-known teenager Di Maria is obviously more favored by Ranieri. squeezed onto the bench!
Why? !
Ranieri actually paid special attention to Di Maria's running attitude. He was willing to return to his own half-court defense from the striker position. He faithfully implemented what Ranieri taught him, and he must think about his back at all times.

It is said that Klose and the others cannot do as well as Di Maria when executing tactics. This is why Ranieri prefers to choose Di Maria. Regardless of his defensive ability, at least this attitude must be maintained. .

But today’s situation is different. The team has made some changes in terms of skills and tactics. The team may have more possession of the ball, and positional warfare will become the theme. There are no two super-capable grabbing points like Toni and Klose. How about the striker? !

So Ranieri's changes in this game have become difficult for even Mourinho to guess.

The importance of this game for the two teams is self-evident. Mourinho hopes to become the coach who leads two different teams to the Champions League final, of course he is not the first.And Trapani will likely enter the Champions League final for the second consecutive year, and this achievement is not something that ordinary teams can achieve.

From the current history of the two teams, if Mourinho can lead Chelsea to the final championship, even if he does not have a league championship this season, he can be considered to have established a Chelsea dynasty from now on.

The same is Ranieri. If he can take over halfway this season and lead Trapani to win the Triple Crown, then Trapani can officially announce the establishment of their first dynasty. This is Ranieri's coaching career. and the pinnacle of Trapani's history.

Today's referee is from Spain, Humetto, he is the witness of the miracle of the Red Army in Istanbul, he performed well in that game and did not make any big mistakes.

However, it is worth mentioning that although Mehuto has always been a famous post in Spain, his recent reputation has not been very good. He often made some mistakes in law enforcement in La Liga. Barcelona suffered from him twice in the second half of this season. , lost 4 points.But this is nothing like a few weeks ago. After Athletic Bilbao defeated Valencia at home, he said to Bilbao captain Echeberia, "I wish you success in relegation!" Seriously, his words directly show that the Football Association is indeed taking care of The declining old strong team Athletic Bilbao also caused an uproar.But at least his stable performance in the Champions League in recent years determines that he is still an excellent referee in the Champions League.

Hugo didn't know him at all, so he turned his head and asked Collina. The bald coach is now the chairman of the Italian referee committee, and his main duty is to be in charge of refereeing.

I think he was also a world-famous celebrity back then, but he didn't show up much after he became the chairman of the referee committee. Today he took the initiative to ask the Trapani club for tickets, and made a special trip to watch this focus match.

I have already said hello to Hugo, and Hugo chatted with him a few words, people said that Hugo would be too unreasonable, after all, Collina is the head of the referee committee.

But it doesn't matter, because Hugo didn't hang up for any position. Trapani's chairman is not him but Morek. Besides, this is a Champions League game, and Collina doesn't have to shy away from this.

Collina explained Humetto's background and history to Hugo, and Hugo nodded!

"I hope this guy is a fair guy, they are too good at using their bodies! I hope he doesn't enforce the law according to the standards of the Premier League!" Hugo used Italian.

Zamparini and Collina both laughed, and Collina said: "He will not be an England referee! He has a lot of experience, he is not a rookie!"

Ranieri played a trick here. He listed Li Tie in the list he reported earlier, which meant that Trapani would not change his tactics, but when it came time to play, Ranieri lied about Li Tie's body Discomfort occurred and Pizarro replaced him.

Therefore, many of Mourinho's arrangements were in vain. He originally planned to grab Li Tie's side and kick, but now he has no way to say anything.

But Mourinho still grasped the crux of the problem. You can't let Trapani pass the ball hard into the penalty area, so he doesn't advocate that his team immediately shrink the defense line. Instead, he makes the midfielder work hard. Grab the ball without letting Trapani's midfield triangle take possession of the ball.

Therefore, the scrambling action on the court during the start of the game is very understandable, and there is frequent physical contact.

Messi became very excited after the opening. He asked for the ball frequently. According to Ranieri's tactical arrangement, Messi didn't need to go to the midfield to catch the ball, which would lengthen his running distance. For Chelsea, who were defending like concrete It is not easy to break through, what the team needs more is patience.

Ranieri's idea is to cross from the wing to create trouble for the opponent!
Messi asked for this, and the midfielder thought he might have a good feeling of dribbling the ball, otherwise he wouldn't ask for the ball!
So after the opening game, if there is an opportunity, the teammates will hand the ball to Messi's feet. Messi often takes the ball and rushes to the front position, looking like he is going straight to Huanglong. Forming an interaction, it seems that there are no people on the sidewalk.

It is really difficult for Chelsea to defend Messi. They have made small moves in the midfield and eliminated Messi's next step. Humetto issued a warning.

Mourinho frowned, and he kept gesturing to Ranieri on the other side. Mourinho didn't know what he meant. ? !

He suspected that it was Ranieri's trick. He specially asked Messi to hang around in the middle to create defensive pressure on Chelsea's midfield and make fouls. Don't blame Mourinho for thinking so darkly. Such things have indeed happened in the stadium. .

Messi's one-man show did not have any good effect. Mourinho's reputation for relying on defense for so many years is not in vain. Regardless of Chelsea's defense in the Premier League this season, at least in the Champions League, he relied on his solid defense to advance to the semi-finals.

The deeper Messi's breakthrough penetrated into the frontier hinterland of Chelsea's penalty area, the more interference he received. The space is too small, and he is not omnipotent. If the double-team is in place, he can't do anything.

Sometimes Chelsea players stop him with fouls, and sometimes they shut him down completely, and he can't make it hard, and he is easily intercepted by the opponent.

Messi adjusted his thinking and began to wait more steadily on his side. Trapani also adjusted his thinking, no longer centered on Messi alone, and Pizarro and others began to control football.

Mourinho's original intention was not to let Trapani easily control the ball, but it was a pity that they robbed for a while and found that the effect of pressing was not outstanding. Pizarro's organizational skills are very good. According to Ranieri's According to orders, he is not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, and is always mobilizing the team as a whole to press up.

Chelsea's midfield technical strength is worse than that of Trapani. Mourinho had no choice but to let the team arrange the first interception in the midfield.

Trapani's stands are small and don't hold many spectators, but the momentum created is amazing. Trapani fans watched the team occupy the top, even more climaxed, yelling loudly, some fans Bring a blank banner and write on it with a pen, "Cockney bastard!", "My dog ​​doesn't catch mice!" and other slogans, so as to create pressure on Chelsea in the stadium.
