Mourinho's words weren't just about boosting morale, they were telling the truth, and it meant he had to change his strategy in the second half and continue to attack better.

There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid, who played like chicken blood in the first half, caused a lot of trouble for Chelsea, making the Chelsea back line also under pressure, according to common sense, it should be strengthened at the back, but Mourinho has to do the opposite, not only will he not strengthen the defense, but will take the initiative to attack.

The more passive you behave, the more rampant the opponent will be, the reason why Atletico Madrid is so strong today is because they are holding their breath in their hearts, as long as they let them vent their breath, then the game will be much simpler, and to discourage the opponent, the best way is naturally to score.

"In the second half, Juan Mata, it's something you're familiar with, and I'm sure you know how to play this game well!" Mourinho looked at Juan Mata, who planned to replace Oscar with Mata as soon as the second half began, with Oscar's defensive ability being stronger but Mata's attacking and organisational skills stronger.

"I will!" Mata said excitedly that he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to play today, after all, everyone who watched the first half will feel that Chelsea need players with stronger defensive ability, not Mata, and now Mourinho has sent him on the pitch, which is not only a trust, but also a spur.

I'll give you a chance, it's up to you to see if you can grasp it.

Atletico Madrid's crazy rush directly led to their instability at the back, but because they almost pressed Chelsea in the first half, this shortcoming has not been exposed, but it is inferred by Mourinho. In the second half, due to the decline in physical strength in all aspects, Atletico Madrid's defense will become more and more porous. In this way, Lin Yu and Torres have goal opportunities.

Juan Mata is adept at accurate passing. Including through and high balls, this is better than Oscar, Oscar is best at breaking through with the ball, defending, and shooting, a midfielder like him is a bit similar to Kaka back then, but much stronger than Kaka's defense.

Juan Mata is more of a traditional striker, and it is more appropriate to be a commander than Oscar, and it is precisely in the tactical thinking of the second half that Mourinho needs a player like Mata. As for defense, with Lin Yu here, it won't be too bad, after all, Lin Yu played on the wing instead of the center today, so you can choose more defense and steals.

In the second half, Atletico obviously wanted to attack as hard as in the first half, but the drop in physical strength made it impossible for them to be as good as in the first half, but they just relied on their hearts. Perhaps this is the mental fortitude of Atletico Madrid players, that kind of iron will, not Chelsea's patent. There are players from other clubs as well, especially in this kind of game where there is no way back. Even more so.

It's like the saying goes, "Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry", not to mention that Atletico Madrid is much more powerful than rabbits. There is no question of qualification, saying that it is a wolf.

But because Mourinho's tactical adjustments were completely different from what Simeone imagined, the result was a start. It was not Chelsea who were suppressed, but Atletico Madrid, who were playing at home.

Chelsea's aggressive tactics have already paid off, with Juan Mata almost creating a single chance with several through balls from Fernando Fernandes, and if it weren't for the Atletico players desperately trying to make tackles and blocks, Torres would have really scored by now.

Today's Chelsea, will rarely choose the side to play the ball directly, their choice is mostly the side player to the edge of the penalty area, and then the inverted triangle sticks to the ground short pass, or directly crossing, such a pass is very threatening, whether it is their own player or the opposing player touched, it is possible to score, many own goals are caused by such passes.

However, this style of play requires a lot of requirements on both wings, not only do you have to be extremely fast, but you also have to have good foot skills, be able to get past the full-backs, and be able to pass the ball firmly to the feet of your own players.

Fortunately, Lin Yu on the left and Schurrle on the right have this ability, especially Lin Yu, if you want to pass Atletico Madrid's left full-back, it is just like playing, unless it is more than three opposing players around, it is really difficult to grab the ball from his feet.

But even if he can't break through with the ball, he can still choose to pass, his passing level may not be top-notch, but it is not bad, passing to Mata or Torres in the middle, or Ashley Cole on the side is no problem, so on him, Atletico really tried their best, but in fact it had little effect.

Fortunately, it has finally worked, otherwise Lin Yu would have scored as easily as the previous round, and it is estimated that he would have scored a goal by now.

Torres is on a hot spot now, not only is his technique back at his feet, but his header is getting better and better, even if the wide player is really unable to pass the ball on the ground, he can also get a half-high ball, and few players in the Atletico penalty area can grab Torres' header.

Thankfully, Courtois suffered a gaffe from the previous round, but this time he was calm.

"Lin Yu! Lin Yu broke through! He easily beat two Atletico defenders and then crossed the ball to Torres in the middle! Torres shoots with a header! Oops, the ball was a little bit right and was saved by Courtois. However, it is obvious that after the start of the second half, Chelsea not only increased possession, but also attacked more aggressively than before, it seems that this is going to attack, Mourinho does not seem to be satisfied with a 3:0 at home, look at this meaning, he still wants to win Atletico Madrid away, and it is indeed Mourinho. ”

In fact, there are a lot of shots like this, Courtois can defend once or twice, but there are too many times, and he is really a little weak.

Atletico Madrid's goal was finally lost under Chelsea's onslaught, and the goal came in the twentieth minute of the second half, that is, about sixty-five minutes into the whole game, and it was Torres, who was also very active today, who was resurrected.

At the beginning, it was Lin Yu who got the ball, and he relied on his speed to directly pass the Atletico full-back who came forward to defend. Then instead of running to the bottom line, he chose to cut inside. With his whopping 110 in-cut ability, it's simply too easy.

"Watch out for his long-range shots!" Simeone was in a hurry. Shouting at Courtois from the sidelines.

Courtois did make a save, but Lin Yu did get up after cutting inside, but instead of shooting, he made a fake shot and a real pass, and stuffed the ball to Torres.

Torres had his back to the goal, took the ball and turned around and flicked the ball behind the defender, a move that was a bit of an ice prince back then. After turning around, he didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, but he volleyed it, and the ball went into the net.

Courtois is still on guard against Lin Yu's long-range shot, who knew that Torres would come like this, even if he reacted quickly enough, because the distance was too close, the shot was too powerful, and the angle was too tricky to save at all, and as a result, the tip of his finger touched the ball. But they still couldn't stop the ball from rolling into the goal.

"Oooh! Torrestores! Pretty Ice Prince Turn! Once again, the Holy Child showed his superb skills and he scored a very beautiful shot! He's announcing to the world that the most terrifying Torres is back! The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed excitedly, how many years has it been. Maybe people who like Torres have been waiting for Torres to be able to get out of the trough, but not for a year, not for two years. Finally, after Jose Mourinho's return to Chelsea, Torres was alive. And when Lin Yu joined Chelsea, Torres was not only alive. And he became even more powerful than before, what he learned from Lin Yu was not only self-confidence, but also exquisite skills.

"Ahhhh After Atletico Madrid's commentator shouted, he suddenly remembered that Torres was no longer a player of Atletico Madrid, the star who once walked out of Atletico Madrid, and is now a Chelsea player, he could only sigh and say: "Torres is really still Torres, this goal is beautiful, but unfortunately he is now our enemy." ”

"I didn't expect Atletico Madrid, who had the advantage in the first half, to concede the goal just 20 minutes after the second half, and there are still more than 20 minutes of game time left, can they really hold on?"

"Half of the credit for this goal Lin Yu should be credited, it was he who managed to deceive Atletico's goalkeeper and defenders, and made Atletico Madrid fall into passivity with a fake pass, giving Torres a great opportunity."

"Lin Yu seems to have said before the game that he will not only let Torres score in this game, but he will also score himself, and now he has achieved his first goal, so what about the second goal? He is now one goal away from Cristiano Ronaldo's thirteen goals, and only one more goal is needed to equalize it, can he do it? ”

"He has been the Champions League Golden Boot for three consecutive years, this season will definitely not let others take away the glory that belongs to him, if the Golden Ball Award still needs to be selected, then the Champions League Golden Boot, that is the embodiment of real results, the more you enter, it means that you are better, which is absolutely not the slightest moisture at all."

After the goal, Torres was the first to run to hug Lin Yu, of course he knew that Lin Yu could actually choose to shoot this ball, but he didn't shoot, but passed it to him, so he also secretly made up his mind to create a chance for Lin Yu to score, so that Lin Yu could continue to lead on the scorer list.

It's just that the deflated Atletico Madrid completely lost the unyielding fighting spirit they had before, as if they were almost completely discouraged because of a goal, and now they are unwilling to attack, but choose to stick to the city and completely build a wall in front of the goal.

Anyway, there is no way to win, so at least let Lin Yu make a fool of himself, Lin Yu said that he wanted to score, if he couldn't score, then he would be ridiculed, and Atletico Madrid could only pursue this little spiritual comfort, no way, who made the opponent so strong?

Atletico Madrid's stubborn resistance, once again gave Chelsea a lot of trouble, this break the dense defense, is a big problem in the football circle, although each team has its own way to break the dense, but whether it can work, it is really uncertain, even if the attack is strong such as Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid and other teams, when encountering dense defense, they can only stare at it.

Barcelona and Bayern have both been planted on the bus, and Real Madrid is even more so, almost every year in the league, most of the league opponents they encounter are dense defense, making them very depressed every season.

Chelsea certainly have their own ways of breaking down dense defences.

One is by set-pieces, that is because there are many people in the Chelsea team with a high level of heading, such as Terry, Ivan, Lin Yu, Torres, etc., and Lin Yu also has a beautiful direct free kick footwork;

The second one is to rely on long-range shooting, which is very effective for breaking the cheats, especially the kind of long-range shooting that can always make the opponent's defenders and goalkeepers stunned, but there is no way to defend.

In terms of long-range shooting, Chelsea also has a lot of good players, Lin Yu is the first, Oscar, Schurrle, Lampard, and even Hazard, etc., all have a beautiful long-range shot, Torres's long-range shot is a little worse, but his level of holding the ball with his back is very powerful, and he can often suddenly turn around and shoot, specifically looking for a dead corner to shoot, so that the opponent's goalkeeper is unable to prevent it.

There are so many ways to break the dense defense, whether it can work or not, it depends on the performance of the players, so Mourinho also adjusted his tactics a little, he ripped off Schurrle, who had lost his physical strength, and sent the more impactful Willian, in order to better deliver cannonballs to the middle players, and then go to shoot from a distance!
