Super Coach

Compared with the 32-year-old Yang Cheng, Mourinho is more like an old man who cannot keep up with the times.

At least Liverpool's coach knows how to use Weibo, but Mourinho refuses to use it because he heard that it belongs to Yang Cheng. Not only does he not use it, he also prohibits his players and staff from using Weibo. , because he said, that is playing with things to lose one's ambition.

But Yang Cheng's remarks before the game really made this game very tragic from the first minute.

Yes, tragic!

There were no surprises in the lineups of the two teams. Liverpool, who was at home, lined up a 433 formation. The goalkeeper was Reina, the defense was Riise, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan; the midfielder was Etienne. Sheen, Carrick and Gerrard, the two wingers Luo and Robben, and the center is Drogba.

This is Liverpool's strongest lineup at present. Except for Davis who is absent due to injury, all other main players are included.

Mourinho also arranged a 433 formation. The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Gallas, Terry, Carvalho and Ferreira; the midfielders are Lampard, Makelele and Marquez. Niche; the two wingers are Robinho and Duff, and the forward is Gudjohnsen. This is Mourinho's strongest lineup this season.

Among them, Thiago, who was originally highly favored by Mourinho, was relegated to the sidelines by Mourinho after the first round against Liverpool. Since then, he has never had the opportunity to play in an important game.

From the formations of both sides, it can be seen that the two coaches are sticking to their tactics this season. Both Liverpool and Chelsea are striving to win the first game.

The on-site commentator also felt the smoke of the live game. If football is a war, then let's see how Chelsea stops Liverpool.

When Robben retreated to get the ball on the right, Galas caught up with him from behind and put down a shovel, knocking Robben to the ground with the ball.

He's got nothing, filthy Gallas!

Red card! Damn the referee, give me a red card!

The P’s in the stands looked angrily, because they all felt that Chelsea’s performance at Anfield was unacceptable to them.

Do the players who bully us in front of our eyes treat us as dead?

The referee on duty was De Bricklay from Belgium.

A referee who enforces the law peacefully. What is most impressive about him is that in many games he has officiated, there have been no yellow cards or red cards. He is a referee who is soft in coaching.

Gallas's move is undoubtedly a test of the waters. It is a bit rough, but it does not cross the line. It falls within the boundaries of what can be judged or not. It should be Mourinho trying out De Brickle's execution in this game. There is no legal standard.

The Belgian referee opened his hands and separated the players of the two teams, only giving Liverpool a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

He has nothing to do with him! Dalglish cursed angrily next to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng patted Dalglish on the shoulder and told him not to worry. He walked to the sidelines and complained to the linesman.

The foul committed by Galas just now had the obvious intention of hurting people. I think you should convey this to the referee. Moreover, I can say that this is Chelsea's conscious intention to test the referee's execution method. This is their usual tactic!”

Regarding the civilized accusation from Yang Cheng, the linesman did not react excessively and nodded, I will convey this to the referee. I believe he will have a clear standard of law enforcement.

It's best that this is the case. If he doesn't want the game to turn into a violent and brutal confrontation, then he should be tougher and nip such bad signs in the cradle. He can't let someone If this behavior of some people continues, otherwise, I can’t guarantee whether my players will fight back.”

This is Yang Cheng's polite intimidation, and the meaning is very clear. If you let Chelsea do this again, my team will fight back.

Are you interfering with the referee's execution? Mourinho came over at some point.

Yang Cheng had already finished what he wanted to say, and there was no need to continue to argue with Mourinho. He pointed to his head, made a helpless face, turned around and left.

Hey, what do you mean? Mourinho pointed at Yang Cheng and then turned to the referee, Is this a personal attack?

Did I attack you? Yang Cheng stopped and turned around, Why did I attack you? Tell me, let everyone listen.

It seems that he is very magnanimous.

Mourinho pointed at Yang Cheng, raised his eyebrows, and kept nodding, as if to say, just wait and see.

Haha, the players are competing on the court, and the coaches of both sides are talking to each other on the sidelines. It is really a battle between dragons and tigers. Every aspect is eye-catching. Is Mourinho preparing to challenge Yang Cheng in a duel? ? The on-site commentator shouted, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. They, the media, were eager to have more violent news.

This bastard must have done it on purpose. His current tactics are not conducive to our performance! Paul Bayer followed Yang Cheng back, and the German looked very angry.

I know! Yang Cheng knew it well.

What does Chelsea's defense rely on? Isn't it just a midfielder like a meat grinder? If they don't do this, how can they fight? Is it possible that they are stupid enough to let Liverpool sort out their attack?

This is almost the most devastating defensive method in the world. Juventus in Serie A and Chelsea in the Premier League believe in this kind of defense. Capello and Mourinho’s teams are both in their respective teams. Excellent performance in the league relies precisely on this kind of meat grinder defense, which stifles all creativity.

However, if Liverpool cannot cope with this kind of defense, it will be impossible to make a difference in the European competition.

What should we do now? Benitez also frowned.

Yang Cheng glanced at Mourinho in the distance, who was also discussing with Villas-Boas and others with a serious face. They were also not relaxed. After all, they were facing the most aggressive attack in the Premier League. Liverpool.

If he wants to defend, let him defend. No matter how he fights, we will always stick to our tactics, attack, and attack thoroughly. He can defend for 5 minutes, and he can defend for 10 minutes. I don't believe him. Able to hold out for 90 minutes!”

No matter how peaceful the referee is, no matter how soft his enforcement methods are, he still has a bottom line.

At least in Yang Cheng's view, instead of wasting time and energy on calculations, it would be better to devote more life to the attack.

Didn't Mourinho say that Chelsea's defense is monolithic? Then we have to find ways to cut a hole for him in this piece of iron!

As long as there are holes, Mourinho's defense will have nothing to show off!

…………

…………

Pulled up from the grass by Drogba, Robben gasped, bent down and knelt on the grass, tying his shoelaces.

Be careful, these bastards are obviously trying to intimidate you! Gerrard came over and patted Robben's head gently.

The Dutchman kept nodding, staring at Galas, They can't scare me!

Standing up again, Robben immediately received instructions from Yang Cheng, asking him to change positions with Ronaldinho more, get the ball more, and break through when there was a chance.

After receiving the instruction, Robben just glanced at Ronaldinho. Both of them had a tacit understanding that other teammates would create one-on-one opportunities for them. The two of them involuntarily raised eyebrows at each other. Thumbs up.

Another attack, Chelsea passed the ball in front, Finnan beat Robinho and headed the ball back to the midfield.

As soon as Carrick got the ball, Lampard followed him. The latter was very aware of Carrick's shortcomings, because Mourinho also prepared very detailed and targeted tactical arrangements for them. Among them, against Carrick, the most The important thing is to fit snugly.

Carrick passed the ball across to the right. Gerrard ran back from the front, received the ball, turned around, and calmly faced Chelsea's defense.

After several consecutive passes, Carrick spotted an opportunity. He noticed that Robben and Ronaldinho had quietly completed the change of positions. The Dutchman went to the right and the Portuguese returned to the left.

Here, Steven! Carrick immediately ran diagonally towards the center circle, seemingly running into the defense zone of Makelele and Maniche.

Gerrard's ball was quickly passed to his feet. Makelele and Maniche pounced on him immediately, but Carrick stopped and twitched, grabbing the ball before Maniche could get close, and played a Half-high ball passed Maniche.

Robben was in good form in this game. After he was fouled by Gallas on the right, he already knew in his heart that Chelsea would use this frequent foul method to stop them, but he did not have the slightest fear, even It's doubt.

Pulling to the boundary line, facing the incoming ball, and also paying attention to Galas approaching, he saw the Dutchman facing the incoming ball with his left foot. The moment the ball landed, he swept the inside of his instep and passed it after it should have landed. The bouncing ball hit Gallas sideways and passed through the narrow gap between the Frenchman's side and the sideline.

Not out of bounds!

The moment the ball passed Gallas, the Dutch Peter Pan picked up his speed and rushed past Galas from outside the court, avoiding the French defense.

Gallas was approaching quickly, but when he saw Robben passing him, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and chased after Robben.

This season, the Frenchman is used more by Mourinho as a left back, because this position is currently Chelsea's flaw. Mourinho couldn't find a reliable left back, so he used Gallas, and In the central defender position, the combination of Terry and Carvalho was also appointed by Mourinho.

But this is not the case in Gallas's eyes, because in the few games when Carvalho was injured, the combination of him and Terry did not concede any goals. On the contrary, it was Carvalho and Terry, and the combination of the two also produced Made many mistakes.

Both fans and professionals believe that Gallas + Terry are the most ideal central defender combination for Chelsea at present, and Gallas himself keeps asking to return to the center, but Mourinho does not Ignoring his request made him angry for a long time. Now seeing Robben trying to beat him one-on-one, the Frenchman couldn't help but get angry.

Robben was almost dribbling the ball close to the sideline, and his speed was very fast. Liverpool's entire front line was also advancing rapidly. Drogba, Ronaldinho and Robben, the sprint speeds of the three players were all among the top five in the Premier League. Together they form the most speedy and entertaining striker combination in the Premier League.

Gallas chased desperately, but the Dutchman's dribbling pace was very well-proportioned, and the combination of man and ball was very good. Generally speaking, facing such a player, it is difficult to steal the ball with one foot, because the defensive player cannot find the foot. timing.

Fortunately, Gallas's pursuit was very fast and he was not left behind by Robben. If he had encountered a slower player, he would have been left behind by Robben.

Galas has a lot of experience and knows it in his heart. Since I can't make a move and I don't want to foul, I will let you break out. The front line is the bottom line. Where can you break through?

But just when he had this idea, he saw Robben suddenly slowing down and trying to cut.

After accelerating and breaking through on the wing, he suddenly cuts inside. This is Robben's most threatening weapon on the wing. Gallas has already studied Robben's technical characteristics, and as soon as he reacted, he immediately followed suit. , trying to block Robben's inward cut.

But just when he was about to stretch out his foot, Robben suddenly knocked his left foot. The ball suddenly hit the left side of Gallas from the inside cut. Robben changed his direction and broke through to the left. His speed It also soared almost at this moment.

Gallas realized that he had been fooled, but his mind had already directed his feet. He insisted on taking back the order, and when he turned to catch up with Robben, his entire center of gravity had lost his balance, especially his feet, which could not withstand this sudden attack. The change.

broken!

After Gallas's reaction, he fell down on the grass and watched Robben leave.

After passing Gallas, the latter cut in from the right and passed the ball into the penalty area ahead of Maniche who was chasing after him. Drogba stepped in from the back row. Under Terry's interference, Direct volley.

Cech made a very good save and saved the ball directly from the baseline, corner kick!

It's too sudden. Robben's breakthrough from the right this time was very fast and sudden. If Drogba had connected in the middle and pursued a better shooting angle, this kick should have been there... Hey, let's take a look. , Galas is still lying on the ground, what’s going on?”

The referee blew the whistle for a timeout and signaled that Chelsea's team doctor should enter the stadium as soon as possible. Is Gallas injured?

If so, that would be really interesting! the on-site commentator said with a smile, Galas almost injured Robben with a foul just now, but now the Dutchman used his own speed and technology to stagger him. Injuring Gallas, does this count as revenge from the Dutch?”

Sure enough, as soon as Chelsea's team doctor entered the stadium and checked Gallas's injury, he quickly made a judgment and signaled that Galas must return to the stadium for diagnosis before determining whether he can continue to participate. Contest.

What the hell! Mourinho was so angry that he kicked away the mineral water bottle in front of him after receiving instructions from the team doctor on the sidelines.

The importance of Gallas as a player may not be clear to others, but Mourinho himself knows it well.

He is indeed a very capable defender who can play multiple positions. The center back combination between him and Terry is indeed good, but firstly, there is a lack of people on the left, and secondly, Carvalho also needs a main position, so Mourinho moved Gallas to the left.

He has always been aware of Gallas's psychology. He has considered this aspect very thoroughly and made Gallas obedient. This is how Chelsea's current steel defense line has been established. But if Gallas is now Si was injured by Robben. Not only was he embarrassed, but more importantly, what should he do on the left?

How is it? Mourinho watched Galas being carried to the sideline on a stretcher and immediately walked up.

The problem is very troublesome! The team doctor looked like he had a headache, which made Mourinho feel cold in his heart.

The team doctor took a very serious look at Galas's right knee and asked Galas to do a few leg stretching movements, but the Frenchman seemed to be in pain and uncomfortable, and he couldn't even do the simplest stretching of his legs. .

It's most likely a sprain, but you have to be mentally prepared! The team doctor pointed to his knee. There was no trouble there.

Countless professional players have suffered injuries here, which has led to their entire careers becoming gloomy.

Mourinho wanted to spit fire with both eyes, and he was confused. Why did he injure his left winger just once when he defended the opponent's breakthrough?

Wayne! Mourinho shouted in a deep voice.

Bridge immediately jumped out from the bench, Here I am, head!

Mourinho stared at Bridge, suppressing the anger in his heart, Do you need to warm up?

No need, sir, I'll be ready at any time! Bridge's heart warmed, and the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.

He is also an England international, but now at Chelsea, he can only play as a substitute for Gallas and others. This is unacceptable to him. He has been waiting for an opportunity.

Okay, you go up and play left back! Mourinho pointed to the court and shouted.

Bridge nodded immediately and turned to leave, but Mourinho stopped him again.

Look at the Dutchman, don't let him break through from the left, keep an eye on him, only take the shot when you are sure, if you are not sure... As long as it is not in the penalty area, you can foul, the scale... you decide! Mourini Ao ordered through gritted teeth.

Bridge was stunned and immediately realized his responsibility.

Liverpool's winger group is second to none in the Premier League. Robben, Ronaldinho and Franck Ribery are all wing killers, and there is also Ashavin who has excellent dribbling skills. It is really puzzling. Their Caesar Where did they find so many wing players?

In the Premier League, many full-backs are rumored that there are only two ways to prevent Liverpool from breaking through the wing and cutting inside, relying on crowds to block, and fouling.

The former does not have a great impact on the defensive system, while the latter requires a certain scale to be mastered.

…

Of course, Yang Cheng in the distance didn't know what Mourinho was telling Bridge. He just smiled and asked Paul Bayer beside him, What do you think he should tell Bridge to pay attention to now?

How do I know? Paul Bayer replied angrily. Galas' injury made them feel a lot better, because the French defense was really good.

He should tell Bridge, don't let your kid get hurt again! Benitez said this unexpectedly.

Yang Cheng and others stared blankly, then burst into laughter. This fat Spanish guy is so funny! (To be continued) [Words provided by Xuan'er's idiot from the Qihang update team].
