581, the invincible realm
April 23rd.
San Siro Stadium, Milan.
The sky had gone dark, and the stadium was still as bright as day.
The stands were still filled with the singing of Milan fans, but at this time they looked weak.
The game was already in the 75th minute, but the score was still exactly the same as it had been at the beginning.
0-0……
"The camera showed the fan in the stands, and he had been this sleepy-eyed since the fifth minute or so of the second half, but ...... We can also understand his feelings......"
Zhan Tianjun had to take a sip of strong tea to avoid falling asleep during the commentary.
Zhang Lu, who likes to appreciate the tactical style of each team, couldn't help but rub his eyes:
"Jose Mourinho...... It really didn't disappoint! ”
-
Since when did the once passionate "magic bird" become synonymous with "swinging the bus" and "conservatism"?
When he first took charge of Chelsea, the blue iron swept across England, but his style seems to have changed since he was subjected to a devastation at Stamford Bridge by Barcelona at his prime.
While his two seasons in charge of Inter Milan have imbued his style with many defensive elements of Italian football, the disastrous 5-0 win against Barcelona at the Bernabeu in his first season at Real Madrid may have made him really determined to embark on this path......
Although it can be argued, before this game, if the attacking core Hazard had not been injured, if it had not been for the absence of players such as Branislav Ivanovic...... Maybe he had other options.
But none of that matters!
He's going to hold on for a draw away from home and then return home to AC Milan!
-
"Hoo ......"
Long Shute stopped with a little headache.
He met the opponent he least wanted to meet.
Chelsea don't have defensive midfielders comparable to the likes of Claude Makelele and Gattuso, but he still struggles to move an inch.
In order to contain him, Mourinho put out a formation that shocked the world!
361!
Three defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Gary Cahill.
Six midfielders: Mikel, Ramirez, Lampard, Willian, Schurrle...... Louis.
1 striker: Demba Ba.
You read that right, Brazilian Luiz, who is supposed to be a centre-back, played as a midfielder in this game!
With Mikel and Luiz in front of him, Frank Lampard and Ramirez behind him, and Willian and Torres roaming left and right......
Once again, he fell into the encirclement carefully constructed by his opponent!
"Jose Mourinho...... He must have watched Juventus play against AC Milan in the first half of the season, where Conte sent a number of players to contain Lonjut, and they almost succeeded......
Zhan Tianjun couldn't help but recall that game.
Zhang Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It's just that Mourinho is an old man after all, and he is even more ruthless than Conte!"
-
Chelsea's current formation is actually the same as it was in the second half, with Mourinho starting with a back four.
Left wing-back Ashley Cole blocked almost everything from Kaka perfectly before running out of energy on 60 minutes and was replaced by Schurrle.
He was replaced with Oscar, a Brazilian golden man who was originally full of aura, but became a lumberjack under Mourinho!
Oscar brought down Lonshette four times in 60 minutes and received a yellow card for it, and when he came off the pitch, Mourinho even gave him a round of applause – for completing his task of testering Milan's core!
The six midfielders, all defenders, are almost unheard of in the world of football, and this is the problem that Lonjut and AC Milan face.
The six of them have obviously practiced for a long time, and their positions with each other are very tacit, and they are almost all stuck in the key position of Long Shute's speed, and they can cut off the path of his breakthrough at the first time.
They even chose the place where the foul was committed 30 metres away, and a direct free-kick from that position could hardly threaten the goal of the Cech-guarded goal!
-
Perhaps Lonshit should admire Chelsea's indomitable fighting spirit, given the difficulty of a difficult game for the Blues as well.
Towards the end of the first half, Cech and Frenkie de Jong collided in the air during a corner, and the Czech goalkeeper had to be replaced by veteran goalkeeper Schwarzer after landing on the ground with his hand on the ground, but dislocated his left arm.
And in the 72nd minute, just now, it was a corner kick defense, and after Terry pushed the flying football out of the penalty area, he stepped on the foot of his teammate Luiz, so he broke his foot......
But at this time, Chelsea have used up three substitutions, and they can only play more with less, and the consequence of this is that their defense is more resolute!
-
Looking at the layers of defense in front of him, Long Shute couldn't help but sigh.
When Demba Ba, the only attacking player, retreated to midfield as a midfielder, Lonshette finally understood why the term was called "shrinking".
Because the turtle on the opposite side did retract its head, leaving only a turtle shell, which was extremely hard and flawless.
Trying a long shot?
Frank Lampard and Ramirez will be the first to interfere with him, and as a long-range shooter, the Blues vice-president knows when the best time to open his bow and arrow, and the magic lamp will even knock him out of his center of gravity before he can get to his feet!
With Lampard's physical qualities like an iron man, Ronshette is really a little afraid of him!
There is no need to think about the breakthrough, the pass and cut cooperation can't be played, there is no way to take a free kick, and the long-range shot is almost impossible to shoot......
AC Milan faced the huge turtle shell in front of them, but they had no idea what to do, and could only let the minutes and seconds pass.
It's five o'clock in the morning in China, and the morning light can even be seen in the east, but Allegri in Milan can't see anything.
Of course, Ronshit didn't give up, because he was still looking for an opportunity.
John Terry's injury has left Chelsea's defence unstable, and playing more with less can also accelerate the depletion of players......
Compared to physical fitness, it is not Long Shute boasting, even the iron man Frank Lampard is by no means his opponent!
Ronshit never stopped running, even when the football wasn't at his feet.
As long as he didn't stop, the Chelsea players had to follow him, and in order to maintain formation, the other defenders had to move as well, and their energy was slowly drained from movement to move.
When the game time came to injury time, Ronshit finally launched the final attack!
Emmanuelsen crosses diagonally into the midfield, and Milan No. 8 easily brushes Ramirez with the help of the inertia of receiving the ball!
Mikel Mikel and Frank Lampard retreated at the same time, and Willian, Schurrle and Demba Ba formed the first line of defence.
Without any hesitation, he rushed straight towards Demba Ba with the ball!
After all, he's just a striker, how much defensive experience can he have?!
A panicked expression appeared on Demba Ba's face, and he saw a red-black afterimage in his eyes!
That's what it is...... The legendary lightning phantom?!
Damn it!
Demba Ba didn't react at all, he just let Long Shute pass by his side!
But Longshute still hasn't made a breakthrough.
He had just caught up with the ball and before he could get the ball forward, Frank Lampard used a vicious sliding tackle to get the ball out with him!
"Bang!"
The huge force directly knocked Long Shute to the ground, and he even directly knocked over Demba Ba, who had just been passed by himself!
When the two people limped up from the ground, they heard three whistles from the referee:
"Drip, drip, drip!"
The game is over!
AC Milan 0-0 Chelsea!
This is the realm of invincibility!
When Mourinho doesn't want to attack, no one can break down their defence!
Even if there are only 9 of them!
