Chapter 361: Achilles' heel

After Speed scored the deadlock-breaking goal, Chelsea were in no hurry to fight back and make a comeback, while Tottenham chose to take a break from the attack after testing the Blues' defensive intensity and waiting for their opponents to make a mistake. This situation is obviously something that Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, who had previously vowed that the game would become more pretty, did not expect.

"Martin, can you give the audience in front of the TV an analysis of what Coach Mourinho is thinking now?" Andy Gray looked at the Chelsea players who were guarding tightly on the pitch and didn't see the slightest idea of taking the initiative, and his tone was full of doubt, "Tottenham Hotspur is understandably conservative. Because they are now on the leading side, there is no need to risk being counter-attacked by the opponent in a dominant situation, and it is normal to slow down the tempo of the game appropriately. But Chelsea's choice is somewhat incomprehensible, why did coach Jose Mourinho not let the team take the initiative when they were down by one goal, but instead reverted to their regular counter-attacking style of play and Tottenham?

"I don't think there's anything Mourinho can do about it. Anyone who has watched Chelsea games knows that this team is very good at counter-attacking. In contrast, the Blues' attacking performance in the field is extremely poor or even quite poor, while Tottenham are a team that is extremely sharp on the counter-attack. That said, Chelsea are now in a dilemma. If they take the initiative to attack in the next few days, then the weaknesses of the Blues' weak attack in positional warfare will be infinitely magnified by Tottenham, and the defence will also expose quite a lot of gaps, and Tottenham can also teach them how to behave with counter-attacks. And if it returns to defense like now, although the defensive end can be guaranteed, it will also give the initiative on the field to Tottenham. This level of the question clearly bothered Martin Taylor, who replied after a moment of reflection, the Sky ace commentator: 'But Chelsea fans don't have to be too anxious about being down on the scoreline. With just over an hour to go, the Blues have plenty of time to regain that goal, and there is no need to rush back so early. ”

It has to be said that Martin Taylor is worthy of his reputation as an ace commentator, and he said the real intention of Mourinho - between a safe defense and a risky attack, the Portuguese madman, who still has room for maneuver, chose the former this time and does not plan to fight Tottenham Hotspur now.

However, as Martin Taylor has said, while Chelsea, who have shrunk defensively, have held their ground and not allowed Tottenham to take advantage of them, the Blues' offensive has inevitably stalled after a heavy investment in defence. Neither Ribery and Duff on the flanks nor Ibrahimovic and Frank Lampard in the middle could pose a real threat to Cech's goal!

If that's all there is to it, at least Chelsea can defend solidly before they plan ahead, but the worst part is that as time goes on, Galla's performances, which have been playing steadily since the opening, start to become inconsistent!

In terms of ability and physicality alone, Galla definitely has the potential and talent to become a world-class centre-back, and if fully developed, he could even surpass Blanc and Desailly at their peak. However, the French international has two extremely fatal shortcomings, one is that Zhang can't control it and likes to break the news to the media, and the other is that he is extremely prone to the top when defending high-altitude balls!

In George's previous life, Galla was first resolutely pressed to death by Mourinho at left-back for these two reasons, and after transferring to Arsenal, he was abandoned by Wenger for leaking team secrets, and the road to the French national team is getting narrower and narrower, and he has not been able to reach the height he should have!

And in this life, Mourinho, who has not yet had a clear understanding of Gala's air defense capabilities, naturally could not have imagined that Gala, an extremely reliable guy who trained in the team, would hide such a cheating side. That's why Mourinho will arrange Galla and John Terry to partner in central defence in this game. Otherwise, the madman said that it would be impossible for Galla to start in place of Carvalho in this crucial battle!

Compared to Mourinho, George is clearly more aware of Galla's weaknesses. Therefore, when arranging tactics before the game, he specially made arrangements for this, asking the players to increase the number and frequency of passing high balls in the game, and seize Galla's habit of rising to the top to increase his chances of winning!

While it is likely that this will make Mourinho aware of Gala's weakness sooner than in his previous life, even if George doesn't do it, Mourinho will notice and discover it sooner or later. Since this is the case, it is better for George to enjoy it himself first, and save the time to cheapen others.

What George didn't expect was that Galla performed quite well in the first half of the first half, completing the defensive tasks assigned by Mourinho well, so that his plan could not be successfully realized. And now, with Galla's form dropping back and becoming less stable, the alarm over the Chelsea penalty area is starting to go off frequently!

Del Orno and Ferreira are very strong in tactical execution, and they are also very fierce in defending, which is the main reason why Mourinho has taken advantage of the two and entrusted them with important tasks, but Ronaldo and Robben are not players who can be stopped by foul play. Not to mention, there is no way that Howard Webb, who is experienced in law enforcement, will not allow Chelsea to play such ugly football in this Community Shield final - while physical confrontations and fouls are commonplace in the Premier League, the referee's penalty scale and whistle will naturally become much stricter in a match like this with no low attention and ratings!

No matter how strong Terry's ability is, he can't be able to wipe Garra's ass and fill the hole every time. So, as the game progressed, Chelsea's defence finally showed signs of crumbling again under the perseverance of the Tottenham players!

In the 35th minute, Ronaldo, who switched to the left side, broke through Ferreira's defense with continuous feints and crossed the high ball, and Galla in the penalty area accidentally leaked the ball to Drogba behind him, who made a slight adjustment after winning the ball and decisively kicked the goal, rewriting the score to 2-0!

And so, with ten minutes left in the first half, Tottenham finally caught the biggest weakness in Chelsea's defence and dealt the Blues the fatal blow!
