Chapter 257: Constructive Comments
Before the game, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho did not talk about the game with Fulham, and when asked by reporters about 'Shen Yang's training team', he only twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously disdainful, his demeanor was considered 'full of confidence', and it was also considered 'arrogant', but one thing is certain, that is, Chelsea's strength is indeed incomparable to Fulham.

When thinking of the Premier League, many people can think of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Everton, etc., but this season's Premier League has subverted most people's cognition.
Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has invested a lot of money in two seasons in a row after buying Chelsea Football Club, and this summer he invested nearly 100 million euros to buy stars, this kind of big investment can easily create a team with a gorgeous squad, plus a champion coach Jose Mourinho at the helm, Chelsea's results are also quite impressive, and now an unbeaten team that occupies the top of the league table by a large margin is proof.
The situation in Fulham is quite the opposite.
There are no big stars in the team at all, and there are two main players in the summer transfer, and the strength has declined but not risen, and there are several players in the team, all of whom are already veterans, but they still occupy the main position, so you can imagine how bad the situation of the team is.
That's the situation on the field right now.
This Chelsea team against Fulham is completely crushing.
Chelsea did not let go of the attack like Tottenham Hotspur, but has always maintained a solid defense, and the number of players involved in the attack is not very large, but even so, it completely suppressed Fulham, so that Fulham could not play half for a long time.
It seemed to be a game without suspense at all.
Fortunately, the Fulham players are in good shape, even if they have been pressed and beaten, but several defenders have performed quite calmly, making the defense airtight, coupled with the brave Van der Sar in front of the goal, Chelsea has not been able to break through the Fulham door for a long time.
But......
"In this kind of competition, there is very little hope of winning!" Even if Fulham are in good form, the absolute gap in quality cannot be made up for by the form of the players, and if the game continues like this, Chelsea will almost certainly find an opportunity to score the ball.
Shen Yang shook his head helplessly.
Shen Yang doesn't know much about football, and he doesn't know anything about tactics and the like, but from the perspective of an ordinary fan, Chelsea's advantage is too great, and he can't see any hope of Fulham winning.
However, Coleman, as the head coach, did not choose to give up.
Seeing that the team's defense was facing crisis after crisis, Coleman couldn't sit still, and he came to the sidelines and began to direct the team's defense with shouts.
I don't know if it worked, but then Fulham's defence did solidify a bit, and Chelsea failed to find a chance on several occasions in a row.
Fulham then began to look for a counter-attack.
In the last game with Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham played like this, Tottenham Hotspur also had an advantage, and the attack was also very tough, but Fulham still found an opportunity to counterattack successfully, so that Tottenham Hotspur had to think about defense when attacking.
But on Chelsea, it doesn't seem to work.
Fulham's quick counter-attack, several times in a row, it was as if they were giving the ball back to Chelsea, not to mention the slightest threat, and the time for counter-attacking possession was too little, which meant that it could not even consume time.
Chelsea are not only tough in attack, but also very solid defensively.
How to fight such an opponent?
Shen Yang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't bother thinking about it, because he didn't know much about football at all, and he didn't even think about tactics or anything, and he only knew the basic rules.
He started to look at the players, mainly Chelsea players.
Chelsea's strength may lie in their manager Jose Mourinho, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and no matter how good Mourinho is, he cannot lead a group of rookies to achieve good results.
The vast majority of Chelsea's players on the field belong to the state of strength and integrity, and each one of them is a big star when taken out individually.
Shen Yang knows one - Drogba.
Drogba is a well-known 'Mr. Warcraft', and Shen Yang knows Crespo because of the news reports on TV.
Foreign stars can appear in domestic reports, and they are also seen and remembered by ordinary viewers, and they must appear more than once.
"Didier Drogba is a big star." Shen Yang and Martins, the team doctor next to him, said.
"Of course, Drogba is very good and he is very valuable, but I think it is Crespo who needs to be paid more attention."
"Which one?"
"The one on the left." Martins pointed to the past.
Shen Yang saw it.
Martins then started introducing Crespo and then the other Chelsea players, and Martins knows the players very well and talks about what he knows.
Shen Yang listened patiently.
Martins said, but also felt a sense of accomplishment, these are normal fans know, but the young Chinese in front of him do not know, he can say it one by one, as if he is very learned.
From Martins' words, Shen Yang also understood them one by one, and at the same time lamented that Chelsea was much stronger than Fulham.
They have Drogba and Crespo in the front, Drogba is a player that Mourinho values very much, his skills are not amazing, but his body is very strong, it is difficult for ordinary players to fight, and it is also a proof of physical strength to have a nickname of 'Warcraft'.
Although Drogba has only scored seven goals for Chelsea so far, his intimidating power on the pitch is not comparable to that of ordinary players.
Crespo has scored more goals, and he hasn't been a regular for Chelsea yet, perhaps for the reason, he's only a Chelsea loanee, but the Argentine striker has long since made a name for himself, much more so than Drogba, who has played half as much time as Drogba so far, but is the top scorer in the Chelsea squad.
The combination of these two strikers can definitely sweep European football.
Chelsea are also strong at home.
The player who needs to be mentioned the most is Frank Lampard, who has always been a central workhorse at the heart of Chelsea and an absolute mainstay in the England team, with great technique, excellent footwork and most importantly, a very good sense of the big picture, he is the heart of the midfield and a key player in leading the attack.
Another important player is Claude Makelle.
As the main defender of former Real Madrid, Makelele is very strong and experienced, he is a veteran midfielder and the best midfielder in the world.
When it comes to offense, Makelle can only be regarded as average, but when it comes to defense, he can build an iron wall alone.
Then there are John Terry and Carvalho, both of whom are some of the best centre-backs in the world, and they are both very intimidating and may just need to stand there to make the opposition feel cowardly.
Such a team......
Martins said for a long time, Shen Yang listened to it for a long time, and felt that it was just a sentence, "Fulham is definitely not Chelsea's opponent." ”
Martins didn't say it directly, but the meaning was pretty much the same.
Shen Yang shook his head helplessly, even his own team doctor couldn't look down on his own family to win, is there really any hope for this kind of competition?
"Who's that guy?"
Shen Yang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, it was a player on the sidelines, jogging forward.
"Mendez."
"Mendes?"
'His name seems to be Thiago, who used to play for Benfica before moving to Chelsea in the summer.
"Isn't it amazing?"
Martins hesitated, "It should be fine." ”
Shen Yang nodded, and then said, "Maybe we should look for a breakthrough from him." ”
"Why?"
"He's not in good shape."
"Not in good shape?"
"Yes, I found that his game is in a very bad state, you just said so many players, I think they are all very good, definitely not as a breakthrough, this player is different......"
Martins didn't understand what Shen Yang meant.
But it doesn't matter, Shen Yang doesn't need to let Martins Minghou, after all, Martins is just a team doctor, he walked up to Coleman and sat down, and said, "Mr. Coleman, I think we can find a breakthrough from that player, yes, his name is Thiago, and focus on this ......"
Shen Yang expressed his opinion.
Coleman was stunned for a moment.
Coleman made Shen Yang the interim assistant coach, not to get him to give him any advice, but purely as an ornament - in order to give the players more fighting spirit and confidence.
Nor did he think the young Chinese could make constructive suggestions.
One of the important reasons is that the whole club knows that this young Chinese does not understand football at all, and his understanding of English football can be understood by 'a blank'.
He's not even as good as an average fan!
What meaningful suggestions can such a coach give to the game?
Coleman didn't count on it, he didn't expect Shen Yang to take the initiative to make a suggestion, he couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”
"He's not in good shape."
"Oh?"
Coleman listened patiently.
Shen Yang explained, "Mr. Coleman, although I don't know much about football, I also know the rules of football, and now we can't open the situation, the attack is always hastily ended, and there is no hope of winning in this way." ”
Coleman was a little disgusted, but he still nodded, Shen Yang was telling the truth.
There really is little hope for Fulham.
From the first minute of the game to the twenty-five minutes now, Fulham have not even had a decent shot on goal, and the football has not penetrated into the Chelsea box at all, but their own box has been threatened frequently.
If the game continues like this, Fulham will definitely concede a goal and then face defeat.
'We need to open up the situation, but it's not practical to suppress the opponent, so we need to find another shortcut, since this player is not in good shape, we will focus on this way, and from this way, we can probably get a good chance!"
Instead of retorting, Coleman asked, "How do you know he's not in good shape?" ”
"You know, you know, what I do. I'm good at training athletes, so I can easily see the state of an athlete......"
This explanation is a headache.
Coleman did not refute, ten days is enough for him to understand Shen Yang - this young Chinese may not understand football, but the effect of 'state training' is not bad, look at the current Fulham players on the field, in fact, they are playing well, but there is a gap in overall strength, will always be suppressed.
Case...... Can you try it?
Coleman thought.
In the current game situation, in fact, there is no very good way, since you can't think of a way, you can use Shen Yang's method, maybe it will work?
Coleman didn't say anything, but five minutes later, taking advantage of the gap in the football out of bounds, he called in Andy Cole and asked him to tell the players to pay attention to Thiago Mendes' way, "Shen said, Mendes is not in good shape, we can look for opportunities from this way!" ”
If Coleman himself said 'Thiago Mendes is not in good shape', Andy Cole really won't believe it, Coleman has been coaching for two years, but he has never had this ability, but Shen Yang is different, although he has only been in Fulham for ten days, he has won the trust of most players.
Andy Cole returned to the pitch and quickly broke the news to his teammates.
Many players wondered, "From Thiago Mendes' breakthrough?" Because Mendes is not in good shape? ”
That's kind of weird!
When many head coaches arrange tactics, they will also tell the players which way to attack, but the explanation of 'the opponent's players are not in good shape', they are still hearing it for the first time, but the players are the executors of tactics and playing styles, and they don't need to be too entangled in the reasons for formulating tactics and playing styles.
In Fulham's formation, the player directly opposite Thiago Mendes is Pembridge, and when Fulham is pressed back in formation, Andy Cole also has many times that he will be entangled with Thiago Mendes.
Pembridge is a Welsh full-back who is a 34-year-old veteran.
As a veteran, he naturally has a lot of experience.
Pembridge's physical condition is already declining and his speed is not that fast, but with his experience, the average defender will struggle to grab the ball at his feet.
This time Fulham counter-attacked, Pembridge dribbled forward, he didn't find a good opening, but he found Thiago Mendes.
Pembrich suddenly remembered Andy Cole's words, "We're going to look for opportunities from Mendes!" "When Mendes rushed over, he wanted to pass the ball backwards, but suddenly changed his mind.
Thiago Mendes is so close!
Pembrich thought that he was going to use his skills and speed to get past the Portuguese in front of him, and suddenly there was a long-lost sense of excitement in his heart, "Looking for a chance from Mendes' way?" That's definitely up to me! ”
"Now let's verify whether this Portuguese kid is really in bad shape!"
