Chapter 38: Don't Fall Behind
"So, my opponent today is Bridge?"
Although Quaresma admits that Bridge is a first-class full-back in the Premier League, I am afraid that most fans will remember him in one word later.
Green!
If grief can flow backwards into a river, then the river is all green.
I don't know if there is a specific explanation of Green's character in the book "Character Color", I guess there is none.
Such bullshit happened in football from time to time in the past life, Bridge, De Bruyne, Maxi López, Bora Ruz ......
This is all about to form the "Coalition of Greens".
There is a "coalition of greens" on Earth, and it is estimated that Thanos will not dare to come!
Your circle is really messy!
Even Quaresma once sincerely believed that the deepest friendship in football is not to green your good friend, which is about to become a noble character.
Interestingly, Quaresma always felt that De Bruyne's departure from Chelsea was not necessarily just for competitive reasons, with such a captain here, he could rest assured that his wife?
It's a sad story to escape Blues captain John Terry but not Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois.
Looking at Bridge, who looked like a fierce general in front of him, Quaresma didn't remind him to be careful of Terry, this has nothing to do with him, just don't make a fuss.
......
There was a friendly exchange between the players on both sides and the handshake between the team-mates and Chelsea's Pacos Ferreira, who had played together last season and won the treble.
However, Carvalho, another player who joined Chelsea with Jose Mourinho, did not start because he has not yet adapted to the pace of the Premier League game, and his top-level defensive partnership with John Terry has not yet taken shape, so John Terry is partnered with French defender Gallas today.
If nothing else, if Quaresma wants to stir up trouble on Chelsea's right flank today, he will face a combined siege of Bridge and Gallas.
"Doesn't that seem like a difficult dungeon?"
Quaresma touched his chin and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.
In order to deal with Chelsea's strong midfield, Delneri deliberately discharged a 451 formation today, and the three midfielders in the middle were lined up in a row, mainly intercepting, obviously Delneri is very jealous of Chelsea.
It seems that Del Neri is not a fool and knows that he can't go with Chelsea.
However, after the start of the game, the situation and trend of the game were beyond the expectations of most people, and even Quaresma found it a little incredible.
Porto actually did not fall behind in a head-on confrontation!
Chelsea's attacking flanks were a strong point, and as usual, they wanted to open up the situation on the flanks, but their plans were met with stubborn resistance from Porto.
Robben needs to face Porto's left full-back Valente on the right side, although Valente's impression of Valente is that he always likes to be unclear with his aunt, but it is undeniable that this guy is the main fullback of the Portuguese national team, and he is strong.
In the confrontation with Robben, Valente did not fall behind at all, and his rich experience was enough to block Robben, who had not yet reached his peak strength, so that Peter Pan could not fly at all.
It's no surprise that Varente is so comfortable with Robben's breakthrough style that he almost skeptics, as he trains with the team and faces a more fancy, and is equally good at cutting inside.
Why is it that a casual full-back is so good now?
The other side of Chelsea's devil's wings was also in trouble, and Boshingwa, who defended him, played his strongest form, not living up to his reputation as "five-five".
Speaking of which, Bosingwa is indeed a rather contradictory player, and the strength of this product is not stable at all, which can be called weird.
In the face of unpopular wingers and fullbacks, Bosingwa can also let the opponent play first-class wingers, but in the face of first-class wingers and fullbacks, Bosingwa can beat the opponent's value down by 1000w......
In other words, no matter what opponent Bosingwa faces, he can play a five-to-five situation with the opponent.
Therefore, in the face of Duff, a first-class full-back, Bosingwa did not hesitate at all and played proactively, even if it was impossible to completely block Duff, but it greatly limited Duff's play.
As a result, Chelsea's wide attack was almost paralyzed and no longer dominated by the Premier League.
On the other hand, Porto's wide attack was impressive, especially on Quaresma's side, which made Bridge want to die.
Diego's left side is not to be said, his main job is to organise attacks, not break through.
Quaresma faced Bridge, where would he sympathize with his plight, there was no such thing as sympathy and pity on the court, so Quaresma, who broke through the firepower, broke out directly.
Fancy footwork is simplified and effect-oriented, that is, if you can use the past, you will never do a second stroke, but if you have to make a series of fancy passes to shake off the position of the defender, then he will never mind showing off his dazzling footwork.
So Bridge is very uncomfortable now, unspeakably depressed.
Bosingwa defended Duff, Valente defended Robben, Ferreira defended Diego, and the four full-backs on the field were the only ones who were blown up by Quaresma and couldn't find the north.
You're all full-backs too, so why are you so good?
But if you were to defend Quaresma, you'd probably have to be blown out of the way.
Thinking of this, Bridge's heart is a little more balanced.
Ten minutes passed, and Chelsea did not have the advantage, but were almost broken by Quaresma on the right, which was a bit unacceptable to Mourinho.
He would never have imagined that the flank tactics he was so proud of would not make much use in front of Porto.
Does his successor really have two brushes?
Since there is no way to play on the flanks now, then you can only go to the middle, at least on this point, Mourinho is very confident.
So after the opening stages, Chelsea's attack began to move towards the middle, even if Robben was not very reluctant, but Mourinho's current majesty is not something he can touch.
It's just that Porto's three midfielders today are not given for nothing, maybe there are not many ways to attack, but if they focus on defense, I'm afraid even Mourinho can imagine how much energy they can burst out.
While Chelsea as a whole were still extremely pressing, they were never able to really break down Porto's defence.
Seeing this situation, Mourinho couldn't help but smile bitterly, why did he make Porto's defense so strong last season, so that now he can't do it, this is the hole he dug for himself!
And what is Quaresma doing at this time?
His mind was very simple, looking at the green-faced Bridges beside him, Quaresma pondered without sympathy, when he would fight back, which chic and handsome move would he use to break through him?
