When referee Vandel blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the entire Olympic Stadium erupted in cheers as fans from both teams cheered on their players. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Han smiled slightly and greeted the players who walked down the court, each of them sweating profusely and panting.

This kind of game is quite staggering for every player.

The score was still 0-0 in the first half, with neither side able to score.

Chelsea's high-pressure tactics after the opening kick-off caused Inter Milan a lot of problems, but the real blow was Veron's injury, which not only cost Inter Milan a valuable substitution, but even completely disrupted the rhythm by Chelsea, and since then, Inter's midfield organization has been very chaotic.

But halftime was just a good thing for Inter Milan to breathe a sigh of relief.

'It's okay, rest well, we'll work hard in the second half. ”

"Don't say anything, go back and rest first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Don't speak, I understand, leave it to me. ”

Gao Han hugged the players who walked off the field one by one, and personally sent them into the players' tunnel and back to the locker room.

The players were a bit of a distraction because the first half was too frustrating.

This can be reflected more intuitively when Gao Han walks back to the coach's seat and receives the first-half game data sent by Sergio Garcia.

The possession rate was 53.9 per cent, while the pass completion rate was only 74.8 per cent.

Both of these figures are a big drop from when Inter Milan were running smoothly, especially the pass success rate.

"They pressed too hard in the first half. Guardiola shook his head.

Jose Mourinho's high-pressure pressing is a real headache, and combined with the characteristics of a Chelsea player, it has been difficult for Inter to keep the ball moving, especially after Veron's injury.

Stankovic is also a pretty good midfielder, but compared to Veron, the gap is still obvious.

At the very least, the Argentine midfield's organization and rhythm control are truly admirable.

"It's really a problem. After hearing this, Gao Han nodded, "But we also have to look at it the other way around, the opponent also paid a heavy price for it, and I don't believe they can hold on to this set of high-pressure tactics until the end of the game." ”

It's absolutely impossible.

Judging from the data in the first half, Inter Milan is indeed much worse than usual, but Chelsea is not much better, the pass success rate is much lower than that of Inter Milan, and there are more mistakes, but they can run and grab, but this brings them more physical consumption.

Players are not iron men, nor are they robots, and they can't maintain this level of high-intensity exercise for 90 minutes.

"Rest assured, as long as we continue to play our way of playing, try to control the ball and the tempo, and incorporate the game into our mindset, I'm sure it will work. Gao Han said very firmly.

His aides agreed with him.

That's what Gao Han has been doing in this game, and he is waiting for the moment when the team will regain control of the ball and the tempo.

Because of this, he didn't use the skill card in the entire first half, because even if he did, it wouldn't have much effect.

After years of experience, he knows very well when and under what circumstances to use it to exert its maximum power.

"I think we still have to slow down. Pep Guardiola suggested.

Gao Han nodded, this was also his headache.

When Veron was there, the Argentine midfielder was able to complete the alpine arrangement well and stabilize the team's rhythm.

Just like this game, against the Premier League team Chelsea, according to the conventional thinking, Chelsea must want to speed up the tempo, because the fast pace is not conducive to passing and control, and can contain Inter Milan's advantage.

But Inter Milan definitely want to slow down a little bit to make it easier to pass through.

But after Veron went down, Inter Milan's midfield was a little out of control.

At the very least, the rhythm was taken away by Chelsea, which is why the pass success rate was so low in the first half.

This is also a problem that must be solved at the alpine halftime.

"Haha, guys, well done in the first half!"

In the Chelsea dressing room, Jose Mourinho looked excited because his tactics worked.

In this game, even God didn't help Gao Han.

Veron's injury is the best proof of this, which directly led to Inter Milan's entire midfield losing momentum, being directly suppressed by Chelsea, and making frequent passing and receiving errors, giving the Blues a lot of counter-attacking opportunities.

Unfortunately, Chelsea put a lot of effort into the defensive end, resulting in a lack of investment in the attacking end and not being able to capitalize on these opportunities, so in the end they were unable to make any gains on the scoreline.

But there was no doubt that the overall situation in the first half was good for Chelsea.

With a 0-0 scoreline, Inter Milan are more likely to make mistakes in the second half, and in such games, a single goal can often change the fortunes of both sides.

"In the first half, we defended very well against a few key players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and others, who didn't have many chances to get the ball, so we had to continue this style of play in the second half. ”

But Mourinho is also aware of some of his own problems, that is, every player is very hard, very hard, like a tireless marathon runner, running and covering every corner of the pitch, so that his high-pressure pressing tactics can be effective, but the physical consumption is also very high.

This can easily lead to a hidden danger.

If Chelsea are unable to capitalise on the opponent's mistakes in time to take the lead, the pressure will continue to increase, and the players will be affected and even their confidence will be shaken.

"This time we are against Inter Milan, a team that has never been held to a draw in the last two years. ”

When every player in the locker room heard this, they couldn't help but feel a mountain of reverence in their hearts.

Yes, the high cold, this has become a big myth in European football.

Some people say that professional players have two major dreams, one is to become a player under Gao Han, and the other is to become a player who beats Gao Han.

For the Chelsea players, the former is already out of reach and they have no choice but to become the latter.

'We had a good opponent and a good defence, so in the second half our two wings should take advantage of the opportunities and get involved in the attack. ”

Mourinho said this, looking deeply at Ashley Cole and Essien.

"Of course, the premise is to make sure that the defense is solid. ”

Essien did show quite eye-catching in this game, and did not leave too many chances for Cristiano Ronaldo throughout the first half, he was decisive when he should have fouled, and he was also very active when he should have tackled, covering a lot of coverage, and his contribution on the defensive end was quite obvious.

But what caught Mourinho's eye the most was his long-range shot after the opening.

It was Chelsea's most dangerous chance to score in the entire first half, but it was a little bit higher.

If that goal goes in, the game changes completely.

Ashley Cole's left flank has always been Chelsea's main attacking route, but Mourinho focused on the right, and Essien understood the manager's high expectations for him and nodded in agreement.

In fact, he would also be happy to try his hand at developing on the right flank, given that with Ballack, Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele in the middle, it would be good for him if he could play on the right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is often said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and we have been preparing for this for three years, and we are ready, and I believe that victory will belong to all those who are willing to work hard and be willing to sacrifice. ”

"I believe that victory will be ours!"

'We had some problems defensively in the first half, especially on the two wings. ”

In the Inter dressing room, Gao Han is also carrying out the tactical arrangement of the midfield.

'We made some changes in the second half, Adriano, you have to look at Ashley Cole for me, don't let him press too much, you should know his threat on the left flank. ”

Adriano understands that the manager is reminding him to be aware of his pressing and defending up front.

"I understand, boss. ”

"You know, you're standing there, and that's the best deterrent to them. Gao Han pointed at Adriano and said.

These words made the Brazilian center forward very excited, because it was the best affirmation of his strength.

As long as he is on the court, even if he just stands there, it is already the best deterrent.

'Essien was quite lively this time, but there were no decent chances in the first half other than a shot on goal, and I think Chelsea will focus on that in the second half, so ......'

Before Gao Han finished speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo stood up, "Don't worry, boss, I'll follow you." ”

It is not difficult to see from the Portuguese look that he was also tossed by Essien in the first half, and there were no too good chances, so he was also a little angry now.

Since you don't give me a chance to perform, then I won't let you have a good time.

Gao Han nodded, but reminded: "Stay calm, be ready to fight back at any time, and hit behind Essien." ”

Cristiano Ronaldo's speed advantage is quite obvious, which both Gao Han and the player himself are very confident in.

"Yaya Toure, Cambiaso, Patrice Evra, our whole defensive strategy on the right side is one point, we can't let them cut to the middle, it's better to push them to the wings, you know what I mean?"

The players who were named all nodded their heads, indicating that they understood.

Neither Essien nor Anelka are traditional wide players, especially Anelka, who is better at cutting down the middle or into the box.

According to Gao Han's thinking, as long as they are forced to the side, even if it is a cross, their threat can be minimized.

At the very least, with Cannavaro and Vidic in the middle to limit Drogba at the same time, Gao Han is still very relieved.

Grab one side, put one side, this is Gao Han's defensive strategy.

As for why it is put on the right side, Gao Han also has his own considerations.

Ashley Cole is a full-back in the end, and once he stabilizes his body and mind and deserves to defend, he is still very good.

But Essien is different, he is a friendly cameo, he plays in midfield is characterized by running all over the field, and once this kind of player is released, it can easily become the biggest hidden danger in the Chelsea backline.

Therefore, Gao Han put Inter Milan's sharpest counter-attacking weapon, Cristiano Ronaldo, there.

It can be said that the game has been played so far, both sides are under great pressure, and neither is sure of winning, but what Gao Han wants to do is to make way for Chelsea to make a way for them to attack first, and then break down Chelsea's defense from this channel.

As for whether it will work or not, it is not something he can control.

However, he believes that Mourinho will definitely attack if he wants to win.

Even if Mourinho is jealous, what about the players?
