Super Coach

Hey Natalie!

After the four of them sat down, a middle-aged man not far away smiled and waved to Natalie.

Hello, Andrea! Natalie responded politely. The other person was the founder of the Knights of the Holy Spirit and Yang Cheng's most loyal fan. He and Natalie also knew each other, and they recognized her at a glance.

Who are these three? Andrea looked at Avril and the others.

Uncle Cheng's friend, Avril Lavigne, her two friends. Natalie introduced.

Oh, Liberty Bells, one of my favorite songs! Andrea said with a smile.

Thank you! Avril nodded. Even she didn't know. Did Andrea like this song because she sang well? Or is it because this is a song written by Yang Cheng?

Do you often come to watch football games? After sitting down, Avril pulled Natalie aside and asked.

It's not often. Sometimes I have to watch live TV when I don't have time. Natalie is actually quite quiet in front of outsiders and doesn't talk much. But today she wanted to greet Yang Cheng's friends, so she looked around. One more sentence, Chelsea's fans are going crazy today, and the atmosphere created is so depressing that it's almost suffocating!

Avril didn't quite understand what this meant, but she could vaguely hear that Natalie was worried about Yang Cheng.

What is their relationship?

It's okay, Natalie, Caesar will be able to handle it! Andrea smiled.

Natalie nodded and stared at the exit, waiting for Yang Cheng and Liverpool to come out.

Dear spectators, welcome to Stamford Bridge!

This is the 8th round of the Premier League. Chelsea, the leader, faces Liverpool, who is third in the league. At the same time, this is also a highly anticipated key battle. It has been dubbed by countless media as a battle for supremacy between the old and new kings of Europe. In the past, The king Yang Cheng faces the challenge of the new champion coach Mourinho.

With the addition of Jose Mourinho this season, Chelsea's performance has improved dramatically compared to before. Currently, they have started a 7-game winning streak in the league. Mourinho's Blues have never failed to win in the Premier League. defeat,

The limelight is not bad, which also makes the outside world's evaluation of the Blues this season continue to improve.

As the defending champion last season, Liverpool's start cannot be said to be bad, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. This result would be something to be proud of at any time. It is just the adjustment of Chelsea and Arsenal's status this season. They are better, especially Chelsea, which is the best in Europe.

From the staffing point of view, both teams are very strong. Chelsea focuses on defense and Liverpool focuses on offense. This is also a reflection of the coaching styles of the two head coaches. Now let’s look at this offensive and defensive confrontation. What is the outcome? Which Liverpool's attack is better, or Chelsea's defense is stronger.

We've got the starting lineups for both sides.

Chelsea's starting lineup has not changed at all. The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Gallas, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira, and the three midfielders are Lampard, Makelele and Thiago. , the three forwards are Joe Cole, Kreisbō and Gudjohnsen. It seems that Mourinho has no idea of ​​​​adjustment.

Liverpool's starting list is also not too surprising. The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Riise, Hyypia, Carragher and Glen Johnson, and the three midfielders are Essien and Carrick. With Gerrard, the front three are still Robben, Larsson and Ronaldinho.”

Judging from this lineup, both sides are deploying their strongest main lineups. There are not many changes or adjustments, and there are no too unexpected variables. The key still depends on the head coaches of both sides. The strategizing in the game and the performance of the players in the 90 minutes of the game.

These two points are actually very important. It can even be said that if both sides enter the competition field and each has a half chance of winning or losing, then these two points are the key to determining the outcome of a game.

Of course, some teams are at a disadvantage when they enter the court, but with the performance of these two points, they can still win the game. This is the role of the head coach and stars.

Okay, audience friends, we can see that players from both sides are entering the stadium one after another!

Liverpool announced the change of team captain yesterday. According to the reliable information we received before, this time it was Sami Hyypia who took the initiative to ask for the change of captain, rather than what the outside world had speculated. Yang Cheng wanted to keep Gerrard. The moves we made, so we can see that at the front is Gerrard, who is starting as captain for the first time!”

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly exploded. I couldn't tell whether it was boos or cheers. It was just a mess.

The players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and Yang Cheng followed the players out and walked to his coaching bench.

He was waiting for Mourinho to come over and say hello to him. After all, the Portuguese were the masters, so they would be too embarrassed to come over.

He seems to be pretending not to understand the rules! Paul Bayer knows Yang Cheng's tricks best.

Yang Cheng chuckled, Then I don't mind being a guest!

But Mourinho was obviously not prepared to give him such an opportunity. He came over not long after, but Yang Cheng had been pretending to talk to Benitez and turned his back to the Portuguese.

Mourinho's face didn't look good, because no one likes to see a person's back, but for the sake of grace, he still walked over, but he walked a little slowly.

Yang Cheng was also sizing up, and when he got closer, he suddenly turned around.

Ha, hello, Jose! He looked very friendly, like a good friend he hadn't seen for many years.

*** Hypocrisy!

Mourinho cursed in his heart, but put on a smile on the surface, Hello, Yang Cheng, we finally meet again!

Yeah, the last time we met, we were busy celebrating and didn't have the chance to have a proper chat with you!

Yang Cheng's smile made Mourinho have the urge to vomit, but this guy had to pretend not to hear the sarcasm in his words, because the last time they met, Inter Milan beat him severely After a while, Mourinho could never forget the humiliation that game brought to him.

Okay, after the game, come to my office for a drink, if you are still in the mood! Mourinho suggested with a smile. This is a not very written rule of the Premier League. Generally, the relationship is slightly better. After the game, we all drink together, and sometimes even the coaching staff is invited.

There are many examples of rivals on the court and friends off the court.

Okay, I'm always in a good mood. I'm afraid you won't be able to bring out the wine then. I heard you don't drink much! Yang Cheng choked him with a smile, but it seemed like he was joking.

It is true that there is no red wine in Mourinho’s office, but it’s this time, how can he be stage frightened?

No problem, I can have this kind of happy drink anytime, anywhere! He seemed to be saying secretly, we have won 7 games this season, do you still care about this one?

My requirements are relatively high. If you invite others to drink, I may not be used to it! Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied! Mourinho said with a smile.

We'll see! Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Only then did the two of them start to show off their sparks.

Andy Gray's live camera was pointed at the sidelines, What on earth were the two of them talking about?

This should also be a question for everyone.

After the two shook hands, Mourinho walked back to his seat.

The game begins!

…………

…………

Wow~~huh~~

The entire Stamford Bridge stand was very interesting, and it was surprising.

Unlike Natalie Bertman's pretty expression with a frown, Avril just shouted out.

Are these Chelsea players kicking people or kicking the ball?

Just because she saw Lampard directly tackle Carrick who was holding the ball, knocking England's midfielder to the ground, and then kindly walked over to pull him up. After all, they were all former teammates of West Ham United. But who knew, Carrick slapped his hand away and looked very unhappy.

He is so cruel!

If Carrick hadn't avoided it, this kick might have directly hit his ankle. Everyone knows how serious it is!

Natalie, don't you need to be given a card for this kind of hitting someone? Avril asked, the jab was a jab, but it was based on the premise that she was bullying others.

Nowadays, Avril regards herself as a Liverpool fan, and of course she feels that she deserves to be bullied like this.

This is a tactic to scare people! Natalie said calmly, but she had to admit in her heart that it was very useful.

Many players were so frightened that they immediately performed abnormally.

Killing tactics are not uncommon in the Premier League. Keane, Vieira and others are loyal fans of this tactic. Many people are often frightened by this and are trembling throughout the game. How can they play well if they are still scared?

Moreover, you can also try out the depth of the referee on duty and see what his law enforcement standards are.

Now it seems that the referee should be relatively neutral. He called Lampard over and gave him a serious warning. It seemed that he should say that if he does this again next time, he will be given a card directly.

This foul gave Liverpool a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. After the Red Army took the kick, Glen Johnson attacked from the right and reached the right side of the Chelsea penalty area. After being intercepted, he passed the ball across to Gerrard who came forward. The player dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Terry was already in front, stretched out his foot to intercept, and tripped Gerrard down while dribbling the ball.

The slow motion showed that this was indeed a foul, but it was only 2 minutes into the game and Willy didn't give the penalty easily! Andy Gray looked at the slow motion and saw that Terry did not touch the ball and tripped directly. Gerrard, but from Willy's point of view, it is indeed a bit vague, but it is not biased.

But soon, Liverpool launched another offensive attack. Riise pushed forward from the left and passed to Robben. The Dutchman broke through Ferreira on the left and passed in. Carvalho made a header to clear the siege, resolving Liverpool's attack. .

After the opening, Liverpool seemed to be playing more proactively, while Chelsea has always adhered to its tactics this season. All three lines of players launched a high-intensity press, completely turning their own half into a high-pressure minefield. Use every possible means to prevent Liverpool from directly facing their own goal.

Mourinho originally had the fast counterattack weapon Duff, but Duff was injured. He started with Joe Cole in this game, and Wright Phillips sat on the bench. This will make Chelsea Was greatly affected in the counterattack.

However, Liverpool also suffered a loss. Drogba was absent and lost a fulcrum in the frontcourt.

Looking at the few games that Liverpool has won this season, without exception, they have not encountered a team as strict as Chelsea. The only one they encountered was against Bolton, and Liverpool lost.

Now it seems that Mourinho intends to carry out the defense to the end.

…………

…………

Carrick! Paul Bayer came to the sidelines and made a retreating movement towards Carrick.

When the England midfielder heard this, he immediately understood what the head coach was thinking.

In the past 10 minutes, Liverpool took the initiative. Chelsea simply stayed in their own half to defend and let you attack.

He seems to understand his advantages very well! Benitez shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The strong midfield and backfield ensure that Chelsea have enough strength to completely turn their own half into a high-pressure area. Any ball that enters this area will be ruthlessly destroyed. They will use every means to prevent you from passing the ball. Enter the 32-meter area where threats can be created.

You know, almost most of the goals occur in this area. If you can't get the ball in, the threat will be weakened.

Chelsea's offense this season is very poor. Baros was originally very suitable for Mourinho's defensive counterattack, but for some reason, the Portuguese never reused him. Being dense is useful when encountering a team with good defense, but on counterattack...

In this game, Mourinho simply pulled back and let you attack. I will defend first and then plan a counterattack.

Yang Cheng thought of the 2010 Champions League final, when Inter Milan faced Bayern Munich. Although the details were different, the overall tactical ideas were very consistent.

I think this Jose Mourinho is really similar to you, very similar! Paul Bayer said with a wry smile.

Like a fart! Yang Cheng's tone was very unfriendly.

Isn't it the same? Paul Bayer asked back. You advocate offense, so you try every means to adjust a three-dimensional offense. But when he sees that the offense is not working, he focuses on defense. I think his defense is also It can be called three-dimensional.”

Yang Cheng glared at Paul Bayer. He was unhappy with anyone who commented on Mourinho.

But I have to admit in my heart that Chelsea's defense is indeed very three-dimensional and very reasonably constructed.

If there are still problems with the previous center backs, then the combination of Carvalho and Terry can be said to be a perfect match. One is brave, the other assists in defense, plus Ferreira and Gallas on the left and right wings. , in front of him is Makelele, who has excellent area coverage and interception ability, as well as Lampard and Thiago, who can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

But as a result, Chelsea's defense is strong, but the offense is not good, and it is often out of touch.

Even if he puts reinforced concrete on the court, I will still make a hole in him! Yang Cheng is very confident in his team's offense.

Paul, keep an eye on Carrick and don't let him go too far. The whole formation retreats and don't press forward. Since we know it's a minefield, let's not step on him and let them move forward a little more. Yang Cheng ordered .

But it is obvious that Mourinho did not do what Yang Cheng expected.

Originally football was supposed to be a scale, lowering and raising at the same time, but now Liverpool has retracted and Chelsea did not actively press forward, making the scene very boring and dull. Except for some fierce physical confrontations from time to time, everything else was fine. Not much has changed.

After Liverpool retreated, Chelsea's tactics became one. I stuck my head out a little. If I could seize the loophole, I would counterattack. But if it didn't work, I immediately retreated to defend, ensuring defense first and not conceding the ball. First principle.

Is this bastard a turtle? Yang Chengzhen had the urge to curse.

Time passed bit by bit, and Liverpool took the initiative. Even if we use Barcelona's standards, Liverpool's ball possession rate was extremely high, but they were unable to achieve effective offense. The only two threatening shots were , one was Gerrard's long shot, and the other was Ronaldinho speeding up after passing on the right and passing low in front of the goal. However, Larsson followed up with the shot and was firmly held by Cech, which resolved it. The crisis is close at hand.

This is the Premier League champion team? Yang Chengzhen found it a bit unbelievable, it was so unbelievable.

Benitez and Paul Bayer looked at each other and smiled bitterly, feeling that Yang Cheng's complaint was not unreasonable.

Chelsea didn't have a shot in the entire game, can you imagine?

…………

…………

Mourinho was sitting in the coaching bench in the distance, but he secretly poked his head out, looked at Yang Cheng standing on the sidelines, and smiled.

He really felt that Yang Cheng's habit of standing outside and directing the game was not good, because every move you made was in the eyes of your opponent.

He's a little anxious now! Mourinho laughed.

Sitting next to him is his chief assistant, Villas Boas, who is 27 years old this year, younger than Yang Cheng, but already has rich coaching experience. He became a football player at the age of 17. coach.

Of course, when he was 27 years old, he was only Mourinho's assistant, but 27-year-old Yang Cheng is already a European champion coach, so he has always used Yang Cheng's experience to spur himself. He believes that Mourinho is too Same.

We still have to wait, he is not a person who gets anxious easily! Boas knows Yang Cheng very well. As for idols, fans will always try their best to get to know their idols.

Not only him, but even Mourinho knows Yang Cheng very well. Otherwise, he would not have gone to talk to his boss just because Yang Cheng studied psychology while coaching Boertu. My wife studies psychology.

It was obvious that he was influenced by Yang Cheng, but he was stubborn and refused to admit it.

What he hates most is meeting such a team that defends him without any temper! Mourinho seemed to be proud of his masterpiece.

Didn’t I say that you, Yang Cheng, are the best in the world in offense?

I can defend your attack, not just this time, next time, and every time in the future, I will defend your attack, make you anxious, make you anxious, make you make mistakes, and then I will slowly Looking for an opportunity, I will kill you in one fell swoop.

Villas-Boas felt funny. He felt that Yang Cheng and Mourinho were two extremes. One tried every means to attack and win the game through offense, while the other advocated winning. As long as he could win, as long as he could hit his opponent. , he doesn’t mind using any method, even if it is extremely conservative, there is no problem.

Therefore, in Boas's view, the confrontation between these two people is really interesting.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that conservatives are more likely to win the game! ! .
