Chapter 420: The Counts Are Terrifying!

Avlan Grant's life story is legendary, he is 52 years old and should normally have coached a number of teams.

But in fact, he didn't even leave Israel until he was fifty years old.

Grant is well-known in Israel, having coached Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, especially Maccabi Haifa, who monopolized the domestic championship in Israel, and after he left to take over the Israeli national team, Maccabi Haifa also became the first Israeli team to reach the group stage of the Champions League.

Grant's Israeli national team also played quite well, in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, the Israeli national team remained undefeated, only behind France and Switzerland, and regretted the World Cup in Germany.

Although Grant failed to lead the team to the World Cup, it must be noted that he coaches the 'Israeli national team'!

Israel!

Does Israel have a football team?

It is mostly unclear to the outside world, Israel is too small and too small, and it is definitely quite a dazzling achievement to lead Israeli football to remain unbeaten in the World Cup qualifiers.

Grant entered the European field of vision and soon secured a heavyweight position as head of football at Portsmouth FC, where he was offered the opportunity to work alongside veteran manager Redknapp.

A year later.

Grant's in-depth knowledge of professional football impressed club president Roman Abramovich and he joined Chelsea as sporting director.

After Mourinho left the club, Grant rushed to take over the managerial position.

That's Grant's resume.

From Grant's resume, it is difficult to see that he has the qualifications to become the coach of a big club, because most of his resume is in Israel, and he has not even coached a larger club, but his "interim coach" position can be "temporary" until now, which is definitely a kind of ability.

Grant's ability lies in his interpretation and persistence in football.

Like, now.

When Chelsea trailed Newcastle United by two goals and most of the players felt that they needed to change their strategy and adjust the way they played against Newcastle United, Grant thought about it and came to the conclusion that 'there was no need to change', saying to all the players, "There is no problem with our tactics! There is no problem with the way of playing! ”

"If he (Zhen Shaolong) can maintain this level for a long time, no matter how we change, we will definitely lose!"

'Think about the feeling in the first half, we played a big advantage, it was just that the opposition scored more goals, but so what?

"Football is like that, it's full of uncertainty, go and fight for the remaining 45 minutes to determine whether it's us or the opponent who loses!"

Grant's sonorous words made all the players feel refreshed.

Grant is different from Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho is the kind of coach who uses personal authority to tell the players directly what to do, he doesn't explain carefully, the players just do what they say; Grant is the kind of person who patiently explains to everyone why he did this, and his words are sincere, giving people the feeling that he wants to be understood.

The latter is more intimate and acceptable.

Even if Grant doesn't have much authority, most of the players still respect him because they feel that he is a capable coach, not someone who has no skills and just stops doing it for a while.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides came to the pitch again, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

The vast majority of people believe that Chelsea will make some changes, for example, they will strengthen their marking of Zhen Shaolong.

In the first half, Zhen Shaolong performed too well, with two goals and one assist, almost single-handedly, leading the team to a strong lead over Chelsea.

Let Zhen Shaolong play, how to play the game?

This is not the case.

In the second half for a while, many people found that Chelsea did not adjust their tactics, how to play or how to play, and in terms of overall play, they still used attack to suppress Newcastle United, and the defensive side did not change much.

This was somewhat surprising and caught Newcastle United a little off guard.

Chelsea's attacking style was flamboyant, with Joe Cole and Malouda leading the way attacking from the left and right, sending the ball into the box in quick succession to create a threat. Frank Lampard in the middle was also a strong point, and the occasional chance he got was a long-range shot with the same force as if it were from inside the box.

Newcastle United's goal was under constant threat, and the weak defence was quickly unable to hold it.

In the 51st minute, Frank Lampard's powerful shot from outside the area went straight to the back of the net.

In the 61st minute, Joe Corneche picked up a cross in the penalty area from the middle, Pizarro let the ball pass to Drogba, Drogba ran quickly, and kicked the ball directly into the goal with a straight kick.

3 to 3!

Chelsea equalise!

Amid the roar from the stands, the match commentator exclaimed, "First Frank Lampard, then Drogba!" Chelsea pulled back two goals in a row and the score became 3-3! ”

'Chelsea's attacking force was too fierce and they played with the characteristics of attacking from the flanks and in the middle. Frank Lampard was strong in the middle, Joe Cole and Malouda sent the ball to the box on the flanks in succession! ”

"Newcastle United's defense is a little fragile, of the two central defenders, Taylor is still too immature, just now he failed to block Drogba's point, Rozenar is even about to disappear, he is probably sleepwalking, he doesn't know what he's doing."

'Newcastle United have also been very suppressed, mostly by Chelsea.

'It's still early to tell, but Chelsea's strong performance, scoring two goals in a row, does give people more confidence!'

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When Chelsea celebrated their goal, Newcastle United were a little depressed.

Zhen Shaolong is one of them.

The three goals in the first half, the gap has been widened, but I didn't expect Chelsea to be unhindered, and still maintain a suppressive attack, the team's defense was fragile, and the opponent scored two goals in a row.

No matter how many goals you score, you can't help conceding goals in the backfield!

Now that the opponent has tied the score, Zhen Shaolong suddenly realized that his means of coping are very scarce, and after using up "Must Kill" and "Attack", he can only rely on ordinary skills if he wants to score goals.

"Foreknowledge"?

"Ingenuity"?

Zhen Shaolong shook his head continuously, the effect of "Foreknowledge" and "Skillful Technique" is also good, but it requires a specific scene to work.

"It seems that I can only fight hard!"

He said secretly.

At the moment, Chelsea are in good form, scoring two goals in a row, and if they continue to score in good form, they will lose no matter how hard they try.

Zhen Shaolong is not a head coach, he doesn't need to think about defense, restrictions and other issues, all he needs to do is to do his best to complete the goal.

Next, Zhen Shaolong worked harder.

Running.

Scramble.

In the constant running, try to cooperate with teammates, try to run out of empty spaces to find opportunities, but it is not easy to find opportunities through hard work.

Because of the defense.

Chelsea's defence is really tough, the midfield is full of big stars, big stars are not just famous, but excellent personal ability and experience, any central midfielder around him, can put a lot of pressure on him.

But you still have to fight!

If you fight, you will have a chance, and if you don't fight, there is no chance at all.

Zhen Shaolong not only fights alone, but also drives the entire midfield and midfield.

Chelsea's solid defense is not to put pressure on him alone, every Newcastle United player can feel the pressure in the attacking process, especially the midfielders, who need to confront Chelsea's powerful midfield, and every pass must withstand the pressure of pressing, the opposing midfielder Frank Lampard and Mikel are all fierce generals who can attack, defend and run, and the two form a solid defensive line, with Joe Cole and Malouda on the wings, plus the retreating Pizarro, Newcastle United is difficult to take advantage of in the midfield scramble.

In addition, defense is also very important.

Chelsea have scored two goals in a row, and Newcastle United must also pay attention to defense, so they need to contain a certain amount of energy, often Chelsea attack twice, Newcastle United only have one attacking chance.

It is not easy to take advantage of the rare opportunity to break the goal, Zhen Shaolong found that the front line had no chance, so he simply retreated continuously and went to the back to find a teammate to ask for the ball, but it was too difficult to find a chance to get the ball in the midfield, so he could only cooperate with his teammates to assist the overall offensive while slowly running forward.

It worked a little.

Perhaps the reason is also that Chelsea attach great importance to Zhen Shaolong, when Zhen Shaolong gets the ball, even in the midfield position, the opponent will give priority to defending him.

In the 78th minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong received a pass in the middle line and brought forward, and Lampard suddenly gave up his marking of Barton and rushed over to press him.

Zhen Shaolongma uploaded it to Barton.

After running forward for more than ten meters, Barton passed the ball back, Zhen Shaolong ran back two steps, and kicked the ball to Grami.

Geremi swept the front of the field and immediately got a kick to the feet of Enzobia on the wing.

N'Zogbia showed incredible pace, as he burst out and shook off Pacos Ferreira before slotting in a brilliant cross from outside the box.

Middle!

Irving!

The wind-chasing boy grabbed the best position, he was squeezed by Terry and still had a half-body advantage, using this half position, Owen accurately grabbed the point, and waved his foot to meet the ball and volleyed directly!

"Bang!"

The ball made contact with the foot, making a loud noise, and then quickly turned and rolled towards the goal.

Stick to the earth!

Although it was just a shot close to the ground, the ball rolled so fast that the goalkeeper couldn't make a save.

Pity!

The angle is not very good!

Cech didn't have time to react, but the ball rolled past his feet, and almost subconsciously, he reached out to block the ball's path.

The ball bounces off Petr Cech's leg!

"Hula......"

The surrounding stands resounded with frightened exclamations, but the crisis was not yet resolved, because another player wearing a red and blue striped jersey had already rushed to the position accurately, and he calmly came to the ball with a push.

Everyone who saw this scene only had to look at the number of the jersey to know the result.

Number 13!

Really!

The ball sprinted into the bottom corner without any suspense, but goalkeeper Petr Cech failed to react.

"The ball went in β€”β€”!"

β€œGooooooooooooooal!!!” The game commentator issued the highest and longest shout since the opening, because the goal came too crucially, "Zhen Shaolong!" Zhen Shaolong! He smashed the ball into the bottom corner to complete his hat at Stamford Bridge and help Newcastle United regain the lead over home Chelsea! ”

"Amazing!"

"It was a fantastic goal!"

"Newcastle United is so passive, the attacking opportunities are limited, but Zhen Shaolong can still help the team complete the goal!"

"This is Zhen Shaolong!"

"He's on the pitch and he's almost there to score goals!"

In the shouts of the commentator, Zhen Shaolong raised his hands high, with firmness and perseverance on his face, and let out a loud shout, "Ah~~~~"

If he could, he really wanted to yell, "Lao Tzu can score goals by fighting hard!" ”

"See?"

"That's the proof just now!"

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong was still very conservative, he only let out a shout to release the excitement in his heart.

Beside.

Owen wisped his hair, his fingers crossed his cheeks, revealing a trace of bitterness and grievance, recalling the past games, coupled with the goal in front of him, he suddenly thought of a question-

Every time he doesn't score a shot, it is Zhen Shaolong who can make up for it?

Zhen Shaolong shoots ......

The only chance to make up was the first ball of the game, and it was said that it was very likely, or was it 'deliberately' conceded to Grami?

Why?

If it can be explained once or twice, it will be terrifying to count more times!

"Is it really because of ...... Does Zhen Shaolong have a way to increase his luck? So he's luckier than everyone else? ”

"It seems...... Super boy group, can't just be the second substitute! ”

"I'm going to be the first substitute!"

While lamenting his depressed situation, Owen set a small goal for himself.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhen Shaolong's third goal made Chelsea feel very depressed, they have tied the score, what they expected was to continue to score goals and successfully win the final victory, but they didn't expect the opponent to score again.

3 to 4!

This score is not very friendly, especially with only ten minutes left in the game, and the next step may be to seek a tie?

Just tie?

Chelsea watched Newcastle United's celebrations, looked at the scoreboard scoreboard, and couldn't reconcile themselves, in their opinion, their own form, performance, deserved to win in the end, but the result was to fall behind their opponents.

Chelsea fans weren't reconciled either, but they could do nothing but pray for a quick draw.

There is also one person who is not reconciled, and that is Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich, who was still satisfied with Chelsea's successive goals, and then the opponent completed the goal, and Chelsea fell behind again.

"He's very unusual!" Abramovich said suddenly.

Although he didn't say his name, Arneson understood the meaning and immediately followed, "Yes! He is indeed extraordinary. Now that the league is only in the twentieth round, he has already scored 30 goals. ”

Arneson wasn't quite accurate, thirty-one to be exact.

Of course.

It's not about the expression of meaning.

Abramovich didn't go any further, instead saying, 'Afrene's level is still a little bit worse, he doesn't meet the standards of Chelsea. ”

Arneson didn't answer.

Having been in contact with Abramovich for a long time, you can get a certain understanding of his character, he is a results-oriented person, and he often only talks a few words about a good person.

It's like now.

He is obviously optimistic about Zhen Shaolong, but Zhen Shaolong is not a Chelsea player, and he only asked a few words, but he must have taken it to heart.

In Arneson's opinion, Grant's coaching is no problem, the level is good, give him some time, maybe he can lead the team to play results, but Abramovich is a result-oriented person.

Now Chelsea are behind the score, even if the players are good and the tactics are good, the reason for falling behind is that the opponent's individual player has burst out of personal form, but to be behind is to be behind......

So Grant's level is not enough.

This is Roman Abramovich, the famous Russian-Russian oligarch, a man who treats his friends and admires him, a generous rich man and Chelsea's undisputed club president. 8)
