Super Coach

\u003e As the game progressed, everyone discovered that the final was extremely brutal.

Chelsea's three lines are very compact. Although their defense is more at the front of the penalty area, once Real Madrid passes through the first line of defense, they will retreat to the goal. The overall advance and retreat are very orderly, completely turning into a deadlock. !

Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho and Ivanovic, Lampard, Makelele and Mikel, plus Malouda and Arbeloa respectively staring at Maicon and Arbeloa. Anelka, Chelsea organized a total of two and a half lines of defense from front to back.

There are two in the midfield and backcourt, Malouda and Anelka count as half!

In Chelsea's 32-meter area, the personnel are too dense. No matter who has the ball at their feet, they will be immediately pressed. But if it is just a high defense rate, then Chelsea's defense is not terrible. What is terrible is that they are targeting Real Madrid. Players have physical weaknesses, choose to press closely, make tackles, and commit fouls, the list goes on!

They started to retreat from the 18th minute, and by the 30th minute, in just 12 minutes, Ivanovic faced Ronaldinho, Terry Villa, Lampard and Makelele faced Kaká. A total of 4 tackles were made against Real Madrid, all of which knocked Real Madrid players to their knees.

Lampard got a yellow card for this, but it was useless. They had no intention of restraining.

In addition to getting cards, the most terrible thing about this kind of foul is that it can completely disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm and coordination.

In other words, as long as Real Madrid's offensive picks up a little bit, he will stick to his body, pull or tug or tug, making small moves one after another, and they will be sentenced for a foul, and they will walk away laughing. Because they succeeded!

I can't hit the whole rhythm at all!

The physical condition of the Premier League team is already relatively outstanding, and Chelsea is even more powerful among the Premier League teams. Now under the guidance of Mourinho. What Chelsea is best at is using their advantages in hand-to-hand combat. Their advantage not only stifles Real Madrid's offense, but also creates huge psychological pressure on Real Madrid.

But Mourinho's tactics are definitely not conservative, Malouda stared at Maicon. Torres was cruising in front, which in itself was a secret move he had laid for counterattack. Whenever given the opportunity, it will immediately show its fangs.

They set up defense one meter in front of the penalty area, and even if we attack a little harder, they will retreat into the penalty area. There is absolutely nothing we can do against them! Benitez said with a wry smile.

Regardless of Yang Cheng's previous life or this life, Mourinho's Chelsea is the most troublesome team in Europe because they play so frustratingly.

When Real Madrid's style of play meets theirs, it feels like a scholar meets a soldier!

They have better physical conditions than us and have an advantage in physical confrontations. This style of play makes us very uncomfortable, especially in their midfield. We are simply unable to carry out effective coordination and deep passing, and we cannot open up the wings. situation!

After a pause, Paul Bayer smiled bitterly and said: We didn't go offside even once in this game!

You know, Real Madrid is a big offside player. Yang Cheng's best offensive routine is to counter-offside, allowing Villa and Aguero, who are the fastest in 10-meter sprints, to counter-offside at the moment of attack, or simply go offside to interfere. The opponent's defense attracts the attention of the defensive players but does not participate in the game. Ronaldinho, Kaka and other players can then insert players to complete the fatal blow.

This kind of offense prompted Real Madrid to go offside a lot, but there were none in this game, which shows how tight Chelsea's defense has been.

Mourinho is considered the best in the world! Benitez smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If it were just about the body, Chelsea would not be Real Madrid's opponent at all. But the problem is that the strength and level of this group of players are very high, and their tactical execution is also amazing, which makes Chelsea almost monolithic from front to back.

This is the most terrifying thing about Chelsea!

Yang Cheng didn't say anything and watched the game silently, but his mind was rapidly observing and calculating.

Chelsea has not taken a shot so far, which makes the whole game look like Real Madrid has an overwhelming advantage. But the problem is that now Real Madrid has become Barcelona, ​​with a super high ball possession rate, but always Unable to pass the ball into threatening areas.

Chelsea deployed a heavy defense in the 32-meter area. As soon as the ball goes in, no matter where it goes, someone will immediately restrict it, followed by double-teaming, body runs, steals, and even fouls.

Xavi is too far back! Yang Cheng noticed Xavi Alonso's position and shook his head.

Paul Bayer immediately relayed Yang Cheng's words.

Xabi Alonso is too far back, which will cause the distance between the defensive midfielder and the attacking players in the frontcourt to be lengthened. Once the distance is long, he will be immediately disconnected and lost contact when being rushed by a Chelsea player, and it will be more difficult to send the ball inside. .

But after Xavi Alonso was shouted at by Yang Cheng, he immediately moved forward, but not long after, he retreated again.

Chelsea pushed too hard! Benitez said.

Xabi Alonso has never been a player who is good at getting rid of the ball. This makes him always the first choice to get outside the opponent's defense zone when he encounters a strong press and cannot find a passing point. The ball, which makes him always retreat unconsciously.

The Spanish midfielder retreated and could not get the ball in front. Kaká and David Silva also retreated in order to connect the midfield and frontcourt. This completely caused Real Madrid's advancement to be completely cut off and the ball could not be reached at all. Came to the feet of Villa and Ronaldinho and created a threat.

So it created a situation where Real Madrid controlled the ball at will from the outside and moved back and forth, but they couldn't pass the ball in and couldn't find an effective passing route. This became the biggest trouble for Real Madrid's offense!

Yang Cheng was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, thinking about how to solve this problem, but in the home team's coaching bench, Mourinho was as steady as a rock. The Portuguese even poked his head out with interest and looked at the frowning Yang Cheng. , I was overjoyed.

It can be said that nothing in the game so far has exceeded Mourinho's expectations, and the Portuguese also believes that Yang Cheng is not surprised by this, but he has not yet found a way to break Chelsea's defense. .

To put it bluntly, the game situation changes rapidly. Watch the video and make your own guesses before the game. It doesn't work at all. This requires the on-the-spot command of the head coach.

If I'm not wrong, his tactics before the game were to play fast, move quickly, and move the ball quickly. Pass and receive quickly to advance. His method was used against Bayern. It is indeed very useful against Manchester United. If we put the defense again If we push it a little further, we will definitely lose. But now. There is nothing they can do against us!

Mourinho is very familiar with Yang Cheng.

Let's put it this way, Yang Cheng's idea is that I will lead you through my speed with and without the ball. As long as I am fast enough, your interference and tackle will only be delayed, and you may not even have the chance to foul. None, because once you get to the defensive position. The Real Madrid players passed the ball.

But the problem is, now Chelsea simply withdraws completely. Restrict your own area tightly, and then everyone stands in their own position. They don't move very much and don't leave their positions. It's useless no matter how fast you Real Madrid are. You will encounter opponents wherever you go, and you won't be able to flow smoothly at all. .

Once there is more physical confrontation, it becomes a melee battle with bayonets. Chelsea has the physical advantage and is on the defensive side. As long as they stabilize their formation, they are not afraid of Real Madrid at all. On the contrary, in this situation, Real Madrid has the possibility of making mistakes. It's very big, and the risk of being counterattacked will increase with the player's physical fitness declining and emotional anxiety!

Chelsea is run like a monolith by Mourinho. Although Real Madrid has a high ball possession rate, they can never find an effective way to break through the opponent's defense!

The live TV camera showed Yang Cheng pacing back and forth on the sidelines. He looked distressed.

It seems that Yang Cheng doesn't have a good solution for a while. Although Real Madrid always has a steady advantage, they must also be careful of Chelsea's counterattack. As long as Mourinho seizes the opportunity, he will not be soft!

When the on-site commentator was talking, the fans in the stands were also frightened.

Although Chelsea defended very steadily, Real Madrid still often created opportunities, but there was no threat at all.

This is not to say that Real Madrid players don't work hard, but Chelsea's restrictions are too good and too good. As a result, although players can occasionally create opportunities, they are never able to convert opportunities into threats.

Premier League fans are good at creating momentum, which made the entire Olympic Stadium in Rome almost filled with shouts from Premier League fans. Although Real Madrid fans did not give in, they would eventually lose to their opponents in terms of momentum.

The game passed minute by minute, and neither team found a better way.

In order to defend, Chelsea had to sacrifice offense. This is probably why Mourinho practiced penalty shootouts; Real Madrid worked hard to create opportunities while guarding against Chelsea's counterattack.

It's hard to imagine that Chelsea haven't even had a shot at this position! The on-site commentator found it incredible.

But if Chelsea are still trying hard to get shooting opportunities, then their defense cannot be so resolute and all players cannot be so consistent.

After realizing that Xabi Alonso was retreating further in order to escape Chelsea's pressure, Mourinho simply went even further and directly cut off the connection between Xabi Alonso and the players in front, forcing David? Silva had to retreat and connect, making it more difficult for Real Madrid to pass the ball.

This also makes Ronaldinho, Villa and Kaka in front become decorations!

Real Madrid shouldn't be too anxious now. The game has only lasted 37 minutes. There is still time in the first half, and there is also the second half. The most important thing is to find a way to break through Chelsea's defense first!

But there is one sentence that the on-site commentator did not say, that is: this is a headache for the whole world.

But just when no one expected it, Chelsea suddenly launched a counterattack.

…………

…………

Mourinho has always had a soft spot for Maicon!

The right back is a pain in the heart of the Portuguese. In 2007, he found Maicon in the America's Cup. He hoped to bring the Brazilian back to Chelsea, but what he didn't expect was that Maicon was taken over by Yang Cheng first, and it was delayed for one year. Just joined the Bernabeu.

Now, a season later, Maicon has proved with ironclad facts that he is one of the best right backs in the world. He is very good in both offense and defense. He can support the entire right wing by himself. of offense and defense.

It was also because I understood and appreciated Maicon's strength. Therefore, Mourinho attaches great importance to Maicon. He asked Malouda to not relax and stare at Maicon at all times. To prevent the Brazilian from getting in behind and creating a threat. At the same time, I also hope to have the opportunity to steal the ball and counterattack.

Unexpectedly, he really seized a chance in the 41st minute.

Malouda successfully intercepted the ball and advanced quickly along the left, leaving Maicon behind. Ramos had to quickly retreat and force to the right. It blocked Malouda's way into the penalty area, but the Frenchman still had the advantage in the speed competition, dribbling the ball down to the baseline and crossing.

Thiago Silva stared at Torres. He didn't relax at all. When Torres came in from behind, the Brazilian central defender was not slower than him at all. After seeing Malouda's cross, he jumped high in advance, got ahead of Torres, and headed the ball in front of the penalty area to clear the ball. Out of the restricted area.

The ball fell outside the penalty area. But Lampard suddenly stepped in from the backcourt and stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area.

Danger. Real Madrid!! The on-site commentators were shocked.

But just when Lampard was about to take a kick, Mascherano suddenly came out of the diagonal stab, made a decisive and ruthless shovel, and just shoveled away the ball that Lampard was about to hit, and then completely The man slid out and pulled up a piece of grass clippings.

Phew, good job Mascherano!

It was so dangerous just now!

Like the on-site commentator, all the fans in the stands were also frightened, because if they were hit by Lampard just now, it would be really dangerous.

Chelsea's counterattack is very sharp. Mourinho is not only good at defense, but his counterattack is also extremely sharp. This attack is a wake-up call for Real Madrid. Although they have every advantage, they must be careful. Chelsea's counterattack.

While the on-site commentator was talking, he saw that Mascherano, who had just fallen to the ground to make a tackle, was still lying at the edge of the penalty area. Real Madrid captain Casillas and Thiago Silva and others were surrounding him. He came over and shouted to the referee.

It seems that he was injured! The on-site commentator was a little helpless. The tackle that fell to the ground just now was very crucial, but I guess he was injured after he slipped out. After all, Mascherano jumped too hard just now!

It depends on what Real Madrid's team doctor thinks. If he really has to end the game, it will undoubtedly make Real Madrid worse. Losing Mascherano will cause Real Madrid's defense to suffer losses. Once the defense is unstable, it will be difficult for the offense to be effective.

Not only the on-site commentators, but also the fans in the audience and the Real Madrid fans around the world watching this game are also worried. Everyone knows the importance of Mascherano to Real Madrid. If he is injured, what will happen to Real Madrid? It must be a loss.

Yang Cheng also stood on the sidelines with great concern, calling to Chris Schmidt and asking him how the situation was.

Not long after, Mascherano was seen standing up from the grass, limping off the field, and lying down on the sidelines, while the game on the field resumed immediately and continued.

How are you, Javier? Yang Cheng came over and asked with concern.

Mascherano saw Yang Cheng's concerned expression and nodded, It's okay, boss, just take care of it!

Chris gently squeezed his calf muscles a few times, and saw that Mascherano was in some pain, especially when the force was a little stronger. He even gasped. It was obviously very painful. .

I don't think he can continue to play! Chris shook his head.

No, I'm okay! Mascherano shook his head. Participating in the Champions League final is a great honor for any player. He didn't want to miss such a game.

I saw the Argentinian trying to stand up from the ground, and the staff helped him, but as soon as he stood firm and took a step, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, there were staff who helped him. Live him.

Cut it on me! Mascherano demanded.

Yang Cheng looked at Chris Schmidt, who shook his head.

After working with Yang Cheng for so many years, Chris knows very well how Yang Cheng views players. He has never been the kind of person who regards players as playing machines. As long as he can play and win the game, he doesn't care whether the players live or die. Kind of a head coach, so he can get the love and respect of so many players.

At this moment, Mascherano is not suitable to stay on the court anymore. This is Chris's judgment based on Yang Cheng's position. He also believes that this is the best for the players!

You and the team doctor take care of it first! Yang Cheng patted Mascherano on the shoulder, You must believe in me and your teammates. If you are not here, we will definitely work together to share your share. , bring back the Champions League!”

When Mascherano heard what Yang Cheng said, he immediately knew the outcome of the matter.

In fact, he has been with Yang Cheng for three years, and he knows very well what kind of person his head coach is. He always says that if you lose the game, you can win it back, but if you lose the person, there will be nothing!

Have a good rest and wait to celebrate the championship! Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows and comforted.

Mascherano nodded heavily.

After that, Yang Cheng asked Chris to take good care of Mascherano's injury to see how to properly treat it so that there would be no problems. Then he looked at Benitez.

Let's make another substitution in the midfield! Benitez suggested.

The first half is about to end. Although Real Madrid is missing one person on the field, their advantage is still obvious. Chelsea dare not press out, so it is not a big problem. Rather than making substitutions in a hurry, it is better to take advantage of the midfield I will arrange it well during the break and try again with Chelsea in the second half.

Yang Cheng thought so too. At the same time, he was also thinking about how Real Madrid could stabilize the situation and break through Chelsea's defense after Mascherano left the field.
