Despite the overall poor performance in the first half, and even missed many opportunities to change the course of the game due to his over-persistence and Ledley King's heads-up, he was just in line with the old adage, and with an extremely brilliant individual performance before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic successfully reversed people's perception of him, just a hopeless team cancer!

"Ibrahimovic is still young, and it's normal for a talented player of his age to do something irrational because of his youth. And even so, Ibrahimovic helped Chelsea recover a point with his exceptional talent and individual ability. Andy Gray's words echoed the sentiments of most fans at this time, and also made a good excuse for Ibrahimovic's previous misperformance, "So, if Ibrahimovic can seriously sum up the gains and losses at half-time and learn from the lessons, and actively seek to cooperate with his team-mates instead of blindly playing alone, then Chelsea will not have a chance of turning the tables in the second half!"

For Ibrahimovic, Andy Gray is still quite optimistic. In his opinion, as long as Ibrahimovic can fully develop his potential, then this young man can compete with top strikers such as Ronaldo and Vieri and become the leader of international football in the future!

'Eduer [Gudjohnsen], you came off for Michael [Essien] in the second half and partnered Frank [Lampard] and Claude [Claude] in midfield. Just as Andy Gray was full of praise for Ibrahimovic, Mourinho, who returned to the dressing room, first briefly commented on the team's performance in the first half, and then made a substitution, "Also, Robert (Hut) you will be ready to warm up with Eduer later." Willian (Galla): Reflect on me on the bench why there is always a situation when defending high balls!"

Hearing Mourinho's words, Gudjohnsen and Huth couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly nodded and said that they would go all out in the game - after a season of getting along, they have a more sober understanding of Mourinho's employment strategy, knowing that the other party is most disgusted by the kind of players who repeatedly teach and refuse to do their best in the game, so it is naturally impossible to touch the crazy people in this regard.

And, most importantly, like Carlo Ancelotti, Mourinho is the kind of manager who doesn't make changes easily once the main squad is confirmed, with little rotation during the season. Therefore, in order to get more playing time, they must also take this opportunity to perform well!

“…… Okay, sir, I got it. For Mourinho's arrangement, Gala was slightly stunned, and then nodded, indicating that he would obey his manager's decision.

However, although the Frenchman appeared to accept Mourinho's decision without complaint, in reality, at this time, Gala's heart can be said to be extremely unconvinced - why should I accept the punishment of being substituted early after making a mistake once, while Ibrahimovic, who is selfish and wasted countless opportunities, can continue to stay on the field?

Never looking for reasons in himself, only seeing the faults of others, and making some inappropriate remarks in front of the media from time to time, this is the biggest obstacle to Galla's development into a top centre-back. In other words, if Galla doesn't adjust his mentality and correct these shortcomings as soon as possible, then he will never cross this threshold and reach the heights of Blank and Desailly to become a first-class defender!

In contrast, both in the previous life and in this life, Ibu was much smarter than Gara. While the Swedish tower has been in trouble on and off the pitch as well, his PR skills and professional attitude are not comparable to those of Gala. It is precisely because of this gap that in George's previous life, Gala's football path will become narrower and narrower, from the captain of Arsenal to a dressing room bomb and a team cancer in the eyes of people, while Ibrahimovic can be the main center forward at Manchester United at the age of 35!

Therefore, Mourinho's decision to replace Galla early at half-time was undoubtedly quite a wise decision, as it is difficult to say how much more trouble Chelsea will have to continue to keep him on the pitch!

"It's Jose, it's always so unexpected to make adjustments on the spot. Seeing Mourinho's move to change two people in a row at halftime, George couldn't help but secretly applaud his brother's change of hand. He didn't expect that Mourinho would choose to make substitutions so decisively after discovering Chelsea's shortcomings in the squad, rather than covering up these holes through tactical adjustments!

Essien is indeed a defensive giant, and he has a strong long-range shot, and the awareness of inserting the attack is also quite good, but in the case that Alonso and Gerrard need to retreat significantly to assist Speed in defense, it is a bit too much of a waste of resources to let Essien and Makelele play together, it is better to let the more attacking Gudjohnsen play, as Ibrahimovic's wingman to share the pressure for the Swedes!

So, if nothing else, in the second half, Chelsea's attack will be more dangerous and more difficult to defend!

Of course, it is impossible for George to say these words, otherwise he will inevitably be suspected of increasing the morale of the enemy and destroying his own prestige. What's more, Mourinho's substitution has solved the problems faced by Chelsea in attack and cleared the time bomb on the backline, but after this adjustment, the Blues' defensive intensity has inevitably declined to a certain extent. That way, Tottenham can get more shots on goal as well!

"It's funny, even a defender of John Terry's level has not been able to gain the upper hand against Didier, so why does Jose think that a second-rate centre-back like Hout has the ability to defend against him?"

George has not forgotten how Drogba in his previous life blew up Senderos once and for all, and beat this young central defender who is on the rise in his career to collapse his confidence, from a rising central defender to a super colander with constant mistakes!

Since Drogba was able to completely blow up the widely favored Senderos back then, this time, when the opponent of the game changed from Arsenal to Chelsea, and the opposing defender changed from Sendros to the equally young and bulky Hut, what kind of performance could Drogba show? Looking at Drogba standing in the middle circle of the stadium waiting for kick-off, George's heart can be said to be extremely looking forward to this!
