Chapter 713: The Man Who Slips and Kneels on Three Bars!

"This is Mourinho!!"

Seeing that the other party was replaced by two center forwards at once, Gao Bo turned his head and smiled at Mo Ya.

Moya also nodded.

When they were in La Liga, they were often against each other. For Mourinho's habits, Moya can be said to know everything about it.

Overall, he's an extremely conservative guy, but at some point, he's always going to do amazing things.

For example, adventurous moments like the present.

Drogba replaced Ramirez, and Torres replaced Ashley Cole!

Chelsea are now in a three-centre-back formation.

Mourinho put on a 343 formation!

In the back are the three defenders of Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry and David Luiz, in the middle are the partners of Mikel and Kante, in front of the two midfielders are Lampard and Oscar, and in the front are the three central forwards, Drogba, Demba Ba, Torres!

It's a typical top-heavy formation, and in a way, it's not 343 because Chelsea don't have two wing-backs who can go up and down, it's 3223!

A very deformed formation, the wings are almost completely abandoned!

A general style of play.

Gao Bo is not worried about this, although such a formation may be unprecedentedly strengthened in attack, but in defense, this formation has a natural weakness.

The side is completely undefended!!

Gao Bo immediately called Griezmann over to teach him face-to-face!

After Griezmann went back, he also explained Gao Bo's words to other relevant players in time!

......

After Chelsea's substitutions, they pressed more up front!

Especially for Eriksen's defense.

Although the previous goal was scored by Antoine Griezmann, the key pass was made by Eriksen.

Mourinho certainly knows that, so after the substitution, it will be difficult for Eriksen to get a comfortable chance to receive the ball.

However, Manchester City are not limited to Eriksen.

Gao Bo has an obvious tactical idea, which is to weaken the core.

Perhaps at some stage, the ball will be tilted in favour of one player, as was the case with the previous team's focus on Eriksen.

But overall, Manchester City is a "weak core" team.

Because in the front court, there are a lot of players who can take on the core responsibility.

Kaka can, Antoine Griezmann can, David Silva can, Hazard can too.

Therefore, Eriksen is watched, and it does not mean that City's attack is paralyzed.

And in order to keep an eye on Eriksen, Chelsea will have to pay the price of a dedicated guard, which gives the rest of the Manchester City players room to play.

One of the obvious changes after Chelsea's substitutions is that David Silva and Antoine Griezmann have opened even more!

They're almost moving on the sidelines!

This put Chelsea's defence in a very awkward position.

First of all, they can't give up defending in the middle to mark the wide players, but against players of the caliber of David Silva and Antoine Griezmann, can you let them catch and get the ball?

With such a wide pitch width, Chelsea have a maximum of three men on a front, and once they choose to stick to the flanks to defend, the middle is completely empty!

You know, Manchester City's middle is Kaka and Hazard!!

These two people also have to be guarded against!

Jose Mourinho is also aware of the defensive problems facing Chelsea at the moment, and he is a coach who started out defensively.

But in the trade-off, Mourinho chose to attack!

And it's a binge!!

Mourinho's gambler personality is at work again at this time!

He's just gambling!

Bet on Chelsea to score faster than Manchester City!!

He has three centre-forwards, Drogba, Demba Ba, and Torres!

The three center forwards are the kind that can resist and rush!

As long as they get the ball into the box, whoever takes the opportunity and scores a goal can buy Chelsea time to stay alive!

Although Mourinho is reluctant to admit it, the reality now is that Chelsea cannot afford to lose, in fact, even a draw will not quench Chelsea's thirst.

But now that he is behind and can get a draw, Mourinho should also be satisfied.

At least not by Manchester City to widen the gap in points.

Moreover, even if Chelsea draws this game, it is not without a chance, and Manchester City will have to face their rivals Manchester United!!

Should City drop points in that game, Chelsea could catch up.

And the premise of all this is that you must not lose!!

Score a goal!

Equalize the score!

Even if it's to quench your thirst, Mourinho is going to do it!!

......

The benefit of adding a few players up front is that Chelsea's pressing intensity has risen to the next level!

With Chelsea's frenzied pressing up front, the game descended into a period of relative chaos.

When faced with pressing and unable to play the ball, Manchester City will not cling to short passes, and they will also use a big foot to temporarily relieve the pressure at the back.

And for Chelsea, this is their chance!

Once you have the ball, Chelsea's attack is simple!

Direct long pass punch hanging!

Hit the top of Demba Ba, Drogba and other players!

Although Gao Bo scoffed at Mourinho's offensive methods, he had to admit that the long pass rush was to some extent, although simple, but the power was not small!

At least with a strong center forward like Drogba, no team would dare to take this lightly!

In the 67th minute of the game, Drogba received a long pass from the back and headed the ball to Torres!

Torres volleys from inside the box!

Two Chelsea players who came off the bench made a direct link-up.

Fortunately, Oblak reacted in time, pounced sideways, and saved the ball off the line!!

Then came the Chelsea corner!!

When Oscar's corner kick came out, Gao Bo felt bad in his heart.

Drogba jumped high in the penalty area, and the veteran of Ivory Coast pressed Colo Toure and shook his head to attack the goal!!

There was an exclamation from the stands!!

Gao Bo stood up suddenly!

That's what he's most afraid of!!

Goal scored by the opponent from a set-piece!!

Defending set-pieces is difficult for any team.

After all, as long as the opponent has a few players with strong body and impact, they can always threaten from corner kicks.

Oblak couldn't do anything about the header.

He had no time to react.

The ball was headed by Drogba and flew straight towards the goal.

With everyone watching, the football flew into the goal!!

Crashed into the net!!

Drogba was very excited when he landed, and he used his hands and feet to maintain his balance.

Then rushed to the vicinity of the corner flag area, a long slippery knee, leaving three deep marks behind him ....
