298 This is the opponent

Mourinho stared at Milan's personnel arrangement, with mixed thoughts.

Jiang Shan was a rare appearance on the sidelines, and he really saw this formidable Chelsea team as an opponent. If it was Chelsea in the previous life, he would not have looked at it, but now Drogba, Robben and Joe Cole have entered the peak ahead of schedule, and the wings and the middle are extremely strong and very difficult to deal with.

Milan's weakness is on the wings, they are not fast enough on the wings, Maldini and Cafu are defending with experience, and if the position is not stuck, it is an empty space.

The away side has to be solid.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the first half.

Milan took the lead and Seedorf flicked the ball to Andrea Pirlo behind him, and the Chelsea players were quick enough to be cut off by Frank Lampard.

The start was different, Chelsea were definitely going to win, they wanted to succeed, they were crazy.

Pirlo turned and then took the ball out and gave it to Cafu. Cafu faced Joe Cole who rushed towards him, did not hurry, protected the ball with his body, and then sprinted forward.

The players in the Premier League are faster, facing the aging Milan players, there is an advantage in speed and fitness, Cafu is not a vegetarian, he has two games of rest, and he is in good shape.

After half-time, the press continued, and the Milan players moved with it, and there were points everywhere. Mourinho made a quick decision and ordered his players to hurry up to intercept the ball, and at the same time let Ferreira press up and steal.

Gattuso came over to answer, fake, Seedorf faced a double guard, picked up a cross over the top, and the ball fell to Pirlo's feet.

Andrea Pirlo turned on the spot, freed from Frank Lampard's entanglement, and suddenly got off the ball, with a long pass, beautiful and coquettish, like an Italian model.

The ball arced beautifully and landed in front of Kaka, where Makelele was in place and everyone rotated very quickly.

Mourinho's pressing in the opening stage has been preparing for a long time, and he is also analysing Milan's style of play, watching the video no less than 30 times, and finally catching a little hint.

Technically, there is definitely no way to compare to Milan, you can only eat it raw with your body and speed, which is the best way.

The Milan players also felt particularly uncomfortable, "No wonder Jiang Shan said that Chelsea were the most difficult opponent to deal with, and that was indeed the case. Shevchenko received the pass, overdid it, and immediately returned to Kaka, who was sprinting.

The ball was passed from behind Gudjohnsen and Kaka picked it up in perfect detail, with a clever pass.

There was a little chance, Kaka broke through with the ball, passed Carvalho who was up and grabbed it, and shot coldly, and the first shot of the opening time.

Bang!

The ball hit Terry's head over the crossbar and no goals were scored. Terry shook his head and stood up to command the defence, "Don't give them any chance, Milan will be difficult to deal with." ”

Jose Mourinho appreciates John Terry's attitude and that's it, it's not a problem to throw the body out.

The Milan players were also a little shocked when they saw Terry's defensive movements, this is desperate, today's game, the difficulty is higher than expected.

Mourinho kept writing and drawing on paper, Makelele was older and a beat slower, and then Del Horno was too slow to react and moved slowly to the middle, while running two metres less, otherwise Kaka would not have had a chance to shoot.

Corners are taken out, tactical corners.

Shevchenko received the ball and returned to the top of the box to give control to Seedorf, who faced Makelele's defence and was stuck with kraft candy, before Gudjohnsen snatched it from the side.

Counterattack.

Gudjohnsen gives the ball to Frank Lampard.

It was fast, Chelsea's front three were already half-time, especially Drogba, who couldn't believe he was rushing to the front.

Jiang Shan looked at Chelsea's counterattack, and felt apprehensive, "Drogba is fully mature, it's not easy to deal with, this monster was actually cultivated by me, and now it's going to kill me." ”

Gattuso struggled to get stuck in position, but still couldn't hold on, and was almost knocked off.

Nesta used both hands and feet to block the progress of the monster. Frank Lampard saw no chance in the middle and quickly played the ball wide with Arjen Robben on the right, who was also a big threat.

Robben took two steps, Maldini's body was already moving towards the penalty area, and sure enough, Robben cut inside.

Very fast, one step, two steps, kick, shoot.

Sure enough, it was this move, the inward shot, Robben's signature move. Simic didn't even react, it was too fast. But Maldini was on the line and struggled to smash the ball out of bounds.

He also fell to the ground, with great difficulty.

"Awesome guy, fortunately, Jiang Shan arranged it thoughtfully, otherwise Dida would definitely be able to save this shooting angle." Maldini gasped, and the pressure rose sharply.

The game is not easy to play.

Mourinho was very surprised, Robben had an interesting reduction in his in-cut shots during this time, which was to prevent Jiang Shan from analyzing this trick from the video, "Jiang Shan is really powerful, and he can still see that Robben's unique skills." ”

Jiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, Maldini defused Luo Laohan's shot, and the confidence of the Milan players will be boosted.

"Beautiful clearance", Simic slapped Maldini.

"Be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with." Maldini reappeared in the defensive position, "This guy looks older than me, I didn't expect to move so fast, if I didn't take precautions in advance, I would definitely not be able to prevent it." ”

The game was in a scorching state, with Milan controlling the tempo but unable to break down the Chelsea defence, which was aggressive and kept pressing the old Milan men.

"Is this the way to deal with Milan?" Countless commentators were amazed by Chelsea's form.

Chelsea's approach is similar to that of Inter and Real Madrid, with high pressing and compressing defensive space, but they are more physical, rotate faster and rotate quickly in every position.

Milan also couldn't find an attacking angle and struggled to tear apart Chelsea's defence. On top of that, Chelsea's counter-attacks were so fast that Milan were on the verge of stepping on a thunderbolt if they weren't careful.

Don't dare to invest too many troops in the offensive. Jiang Shan looked at Chelsea with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel a sense of madness, "This is my opponent, this is a strong team." ”

Milan's staffing was not perfect, there were too many players in the number 10 position, and Seedorf was too old, and there was a lack of skilled players up front, and the intensity of the small blasts was far from enough.

Pinnacle Barcelona has a combination of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, with good passing and control, and carrying a bomb in a small area is as simple as eating and drinking, which is the perfect combination.

"Smack!"

Makelele stole Gattuso, who came up with the ball, and his body was not weaker than Gattuso, and his center of gravity was too stable.

The ball was passed to Joe Cole, who was sprinting and Cafu was chasing back, not as fast as Joe Cole. Joe Cole has been England's best player in the last decade, but unfortunately he can't sustain his form for long.

Didier Drogba, along with Arjen Robben and Frank Lampard, were all up front. Joe Cole faced Pirlo, passed the ball and fell to Drogba.

Drogba took a step, did not force the attack, and gave Lampard behind him, and rushed forward himself, squeezing the Milan defence.
