Chapter 400: Swedish Divine Tower
"Javier, you say, could there really be a so-called curse?"
In the stands of the Millennium Stadium, Lin Xia, who flew from Madrid, sat with Chu Yao, Marca reporter Javier Matayana and agent Jorge Mendes, and asked worriedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As an atheist, she certainly doesn't want to believe in so-called spells, but many things are difficult to explain.
Just like this game, Chelsea quickly grasped the advantage and initiative of the game after the opening period, and as a result, in just ten minutes, they hit the crosspost four times, and then they were also scoreless, and the luck was extremely poor.
Against the backdrop of the South Locker Room Spell at the Millennium Stadium, it's hard not to doubt it.
Therefore, Chu Yao also sighed and nodded: "Yes, it's been twenty minutes, I have the advantage, but I can't score a goal, my luck is too bad." ”
But only Matayana shook his head, "Like Gao Han, I never believed in the so-called magic spell. ”
Without waiting for the three people next to him to ask, the Marca Daily reporter took the initiative to explain.
"It is well known that in the history of English football, the southern team has always been weaker than the northern team, and even so far no southern team has won the Champions League, even in domestic competitions, it is far inferior to the northern team. ”
"The seventies and eighties, the most glorious period of English football, the teams that ravaged the Europa League also came from the central and north, such as Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, not to mention the most glorious Liverpool and Manchester United. ”
"Therefore, it has always been very obvious that English football is strong in the north and weak in the south, even now, and the dressing room of the Millennium Stadium is divided according to geography, so it is naturally easy to have the so-called south dressing room curse. ”
Lin Xia and Chu Yao are not professional football fans, and they don't know much about these histories, but when they heard Matayana say this, they suddenly realized that this was the case.
Only Mendes nodded and praised: "That's right, but I think the reason why the south is weak and the north is strong has a lot to do with the physical confrontation style that England has been advocating since the seventies and eighties." ”
The Portuguese said this, but Matayana was stunned, and when he looked at him again, he was quite impressed.
"Whether it's Nottingham Forest or Liverpool, they both adopt a very confrontational style of play, and the quality of personnel in the central and northern regions of England is obviously more suitable for this style of play, but in the area around London and Southampton, there is more emphasis on technology, which is very different from other teams in the central and northern regions. ”
"Well said. Matayana exclaimed, "There is such a saying. ”
It can be seen that this agent who has made a name for himself in European football is not completely devoid of ink.
Being able to make a name for himself in the Vanity Fair of European football is really not to be underestimated!
"But in any case, the presence or absence of the spell still affects the mentality of the players to some extent. ”
Mendes's remarks were echoed by Matayana, "It can explain that Chelsea's opening four hits on the post have a lot to do with the player's mentality being too anxious. ”
"I think it's time to step back?" Mendes analyzed.
Matayana nodded, "There is some truth, but not necessarily. ”
"Oh?" everyone suddenly looked at the Spanish reporter.
"The so-called high dynasty on the football field is actually that the players cooperate with each other smoothly, the rhythm is right, the direction is also right, the cooperation with each other is coherent, and the rhythm and frequency of everyone are consistent. ”
After a pause, Matayana said: "It's like on the basketball court, the two sides were originally evenly matched, but suddenly one side played a wave of small high courts, and directly cut down a few to zero, or even a dozen to zero, but after the high court, the other party also improved, and chased a few to zero, all of which are the same reason." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood.
"Chelsea are just one goal away at the moment, and if we retreat at this time, no one knows when the next wave of high court will come. ”
Speaking of this, Matayana turned his head to look at the coach's bench to the south and found Gao Han standing outside, looking calm.
"A lot of people say that Gao Han is a good conductor on the spot, and that's not because of how good he is in terms of technique and tactics, but because he's very good at taking advantage of the team's performance and trying to score goals, which is also his most amazing improvement over the years. ”
"What's more, Chelsea is good at pressing high and taking the initiative to attack, retreat, I'm afraid I can't play, and Ibrahimovic is not good at counterattacking, can only rely on a Robben, Gao Han will definitely not be willing to let go of such a good opportunity, in vain to hand over the initiative to the opponent. ”
'But continuing to maintain the current situation is not a small risk for Chelsea, and if a player makes a mistake or makes a mistake and is counter-attacked, it is really passive. ”
As soon as Matayana said this, everyone suddenly became much clearer about the situation on the pitch, especially about the current situation of Chelsea.
There are no absolutes on the football field, only relatives, so it is up to the manager to make trade-offs.
"Now it's up to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is betting on Gao Han, to see if he can pick up this big beam. ”
…………
…………
Ibrahimovic was depressed.
He was surrounded by people.
Needless to say, Toure and Campbell were the two centre-backs, as soon as the ball from Chelsea was up front, Gilberto Silva and Patrick Vieira were able to cover the line and cut him off from the rest of his team-mates.
This kind of defense with three layers inside and three layers outside makes him feel like he is in prison, isolated from the world.
The ball was once again long and came to the front of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic wanted to fight for the first spot, but this time it was Campbell, who was not small, but not slow, and grabbed Ibrahimovic ahead of him several times.
Campbell cleared the ball with a header and headed it back as Chelsea's attack came to naught.
"Boy, what about your arrogance at the beginning?" Campbell wiped his forehead and walked back with a smile.
Ibrahimovic was annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about it, as he was never able to break through the opposition's defensive cage.
This made the Swedish center grit his teeth with hatred, especially when he saw the chuckling expressions of Campbell and Toure, he snorted angrily, but his heart couldn't help but be more anxious.
"Calm down, Zlatan. From the sidelines, there was a call from head coach Gao Han.
The Swedish centre-forward nodded to where the voice came from and waved his hand to signal that he had heard, but still crashed into Arsenal's defensive zone like a headless fly.
It seems that he is a firm believer in one word. Gao Han on the sidelines shook his head and smiled.
"What?" both Cantarero and Emery were surprised.
It's all at this time, and you can still laugh?
"A manly man, he gets up from where he falls. ”
The coaching staff is full of black lines, which is a plus?
He's a striker, but not a stubborn donkey.
Gao Han didn't pay attention to what his assistants were thinking, walked directly to the sidelines, and beckoned to Ronaldinho nearby, who immediately ran over, approached Gao Han, muttered a few words, and returned to the court.
Soon, Chelsea reorganised a chance and still played the ball up front from the midfield.
The difference is that this time it was passed to the left.
Ronaldinho retreated to receive the pass, and as soon as he stopped, he didn't wait for Lauren to get close, and immediately led to the middle.
Arsenal were also very jealous of Chelsea's number one superstar, and Vieira immediately blocked it.
"Zlatan!"
Ronaldinho rushed to the front of the penalty area before Vieira and Lauren joined forces, but the whole person suddenly accelerated to the middle, and after seeing Ibrahimovic tacitly pull out to catch the ball, he shouted again, "Come back!"
Before the Brazilian could speak, Ibrahimovic's pass was already behind Vieira, and as soon as Ronaldinho received the ball, Gilberto Silva pounced on him, but the Brazilian magician still managed to pass the ball to the right side of the arc.
I saw the teenager Robben quickly cut in from the right rib, grabbed before everyone, and received the ball.
As a left-footed player, he used his body to keep left-back Ashley Cole out on the right, but his left foot was quite free and calmly picked up and curled a curling shot.
But maybe the opportunity came too suddenly, the shot was too urgent, the angle was not well grasped, and it was remote!
Although it was an unsuccessful kick, it still made Gao Han on the sidelines applaud non-stop.
This time the offensive tactics were successful.
If it weren't Robben, it would have been Samuel Eto'o.
But it should also be the other way around, if it was Eto'o, it is estimated that Arsenal would not have put so much defensive energy on Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.
Everyone knows that Robben is best at left winger, moving to the right, playing good and bad, and it is such an important game, so Wenger seems to be very sure that Robben will not perform well.
As it turned out, Wenger was right.
But if it succeeds once, there will soon be a second time.
A few minutes later, Chelsea created another chance.
This time it was Ibrahimovic who grabbed the first spot, Ronaldinho cut inside on the left and after grabbing the second, he crossed to the middle, and Lampard suddenly cut in and unguarded to deliver a powerful volley.
The speed and strength of this shot were there, and the ball was suppressed, but the angle was too positive, and it was directly saved by Lehmann.
Two waves of attacks in a row seemed to be the same, but Gao Han could feel the change in the situation.
Arsenal's defence, in particular, began to focus less on Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic than before, but began to worry about Robben and Frank Lampard in the back, which reduced the defensive pressure on Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.
For a player like them who has a lot of individual ability, as soon as the defensive pressure is light, their opportunity to perform comes.
What's more, so far in this game, Gao Han hasn't even used a skill card.
Thinking of this, Gao Han smiled lightly, entered the coaching system, and went back and forth on several skill cards, and finally selected a five-star confrontation card.
"It's you!" Gao Han happily used the confrontation card.
"Start using a five-star confrontation card, target: Ibrahimovic. ”
After retiring from the coaching system, Gao Han looked back at the Swedish Tower on the pitch, he is the highest skyline on the pitch at the moment, even a few centimeters higher than Arsenal's central defenders and goalkeepers.
"Come on, boy, if you can't break through their defenses, then you deserve to be someone else's deputy for the rest of your life!"
