"Is Loew crazy? Actually sent three centers? ā
"It's been a great game, Notts County are really desperate!"
"I originally thought that Chelsea's defense was very strong, but I didn't have a very intuitive understanding, and now Notts County actually have three central strikers, I think I understand!"
......
Fans talk a lot, as if they are watching something rare, but in the eyes of professionals, it's not as simple as being surprised.
For Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson, Loew's approach was absolutely impressive.
In the confrontation with Chelsea, these two giants did not take advantage of anything, Mourinho's defense will make people scratch their heads and even despair, and they will find it difficult to find a way to break down Chelsea's defense.
But now looking at the lineup of Notts County in the second half, even if the game has not started yet, and the actual combat effect cannot be tested, they can't help but be amazed, this method must be obtained!
The three centre-forwards each in the box were enough to darken the Chelsea penalty area.
Drogba, a humanoid monster that may be skewed with some kind of monster gene, needs two defenders to fight back and forth, even if he is already England's top central defender Terry, it is difficult to target Drogba alone, and it may be paired with a Makelele or Mereles;
Morientes, an all-round center forward, has good ability, and his comprehensive ability is even higher than Drogba, and Huter, a young central defender, also can't do it all by himself, and he also needs a helper to help him defend from time to time;
As for Villa, although the style characteristics make him very small in the penalty area full of high-ranking players in positional battles, anyone who ignores the world footballer of the year will definitely die a miserable death, so at least one player must be by his side throughout the whole process, and someone needs to help defend at any time;
As a result, the three centre-forwards directly involve four or six defenders, while Chelsea have roughly that many players in the box.
The key problem is that even if so many defenders completely give up other jobs to concentrate on defending these three centers, they may not be able to defend them, and football is not a simple arithmetic problem, just 2>1.
Even if these three center forwards are stared to death, then the other players in Notts County will be liberated, whether it is Ribery on the left or Robben on the right, and Kaka in the middle, they all have super scoring ability, even if the crowd in the penalty area is dense, can they really not leave a gap for people to play?
What's even more terrifying is that Notts County could have been more aggressive in allowing Cannavaro to burst into the Chelsea penalty area, this time to see who can free up their hands to mark the equally good centre-back!
Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson are keen to see how Notts County's style of play plays out, and if they can really shred Chelsea's tortoise shells, they will be able to hope for a breakthrough the next time they face Chelsea's impregnable defence.
Of course, they also know that Notts County's aggressive style of play is impossible to imitate to a certain extent, because their two teams do not have such a terrible forward configuration, and it is difficult to find a second one in European football with just one wonderful Drogba, maybe to go to Mars to have a look.
Just imagine, Morientes's all-round and powerful all-round center forward can only rotate in the third pick in Notts County, and Real Madrid dared to be so violent before.
Well, let's see if this aggressive tactic will have the desired effect!
Mourinho can be said to be caught off guard by the change in Notts County's style of play, and he didn't have time to explain the players on the field, even if he was thinking about the pros and cons and gains and losses, so the Chelsea players on the field were still competing with Notts County according to the tactics of the first half, but there were also natural adjustments, such as the defensive line retreating deeper, and Drogba and other three center forwards were always marked by guards.
However, Notts County also gave up the midfield to advance the layer by layer of play, and instead began to play on the two wings, towards the penalty area, even if Robben and Ribery are not the kind of traditional wingers, and the crossing ability is not at the top, but there are not two crosses masters such as Leyton Baines and Lahm!
The ball whistled in an arc and flew over the Chelsea penalty area, and there was no need to even aim at it, as long as it hit the top of the box, and the three centre-forwards were basically able to cover the entire penalty area.
Then the Chelsea defenders were entangled with the three centre-forwards, some hugging their thighs, some pressing their shoulders, and then someone grabbed the first header to clear the ball, and it was a mess.
But Notts County's control over the second point is obviously stronger than Chelsea's, because the Chelsea players have run into the penalty area to confront the three center forwards, and the personnel are nervous!
Then the picture becomes the indiscriminate bombardment of Notts County's second echelon after controlling the second landing point, or simply hoisting the ball into the box and continuing to wreak havoc.
In just a few minutes, from the analysis of the data, Notts County scored the ball into the box with four crosses, and Chelsea grabbed three times at the first landing point, Terry, Hout and Makelele each contributed a duel data, but Drogba also grabbed a header with a beast-like body against Terry and Makelele next to him, but unfortunately the goal was fruitless.
Don't look at the threat of the first drop point were all contacted by Chelsea, but Notts County's real killing opportunities appeared after controlling the second drop point, Chelsea's third clearance was all snatched by Notts County to the second drop point, Ribery and Kaka contracted three shots, all of which made Cech break out in a cold sweat and be afraid.
There are pros and cons to a dense crowd in the box, blocking most of the space and angle of the shot, but conversely blocking the goalkeeper's view, as long as the shot passes through the range of the defenders, there is a huge chance that the goalkeeper will not react.
Kaka's shot passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area and then slid out of the goal, and Cech could only watch, in a trance for a while, if this goal was scored, then the consequences would be really unimaginable.
These few minutes of three-dimensional bombardment have made Chelsea's defense scattered, although it is a bus, but it feels as if it is a scrapped, not even car glass and doors, leaking air everywhere, the fake bus can not completely block the Chelsea goal as imagined.
The effect is significant, and until Mourinho makes a targeted move, it will undoubtedly push Chelsea to the brink of a cliff and then kick it down at any moment...... (To be continued.) )
