Chapter 1431: A Fierce Battle Between Spear and Shield
David. Luiz made up his mind to let Mourinho see his true strength, although other players may not have this kind of mind, but once the game starts, they all want to play well, Callas was also sold cheaply, he naturally wants to prove himself, but he doesn't hate Mourinho so much, after all, if he didn't leave Chelsea, he wouldn't have achieved as much as he did today.
Although he is not the main player of Real Madrid now, he is an absolute rotation player, and he is still ranked above Ramos, after all, Ramos is old, so Callas has participated in a lot of games.
On the Chelsea side, some players were poached by Real Madrid, but they did not choose to leave, such as Hazard is one of them, he also wants to prove himself, prove that his choice is not wrong, and he must work hard to show his strength in this game.
Because of this, the game between the two sides quickly became hot at the beginning.
Basically, there was no temptation, Chelsea followed Mourinho's instructions and started with a defensive focus, which was more or less disappointing to neutral fans, who were expecting Mourinho to come up with a beautiful football style in the league, but now it seems that they are thinking things a little too simply.
Mourinho is really a very pragmatic person, he sent a formation of 433 in this game, but it was three back midfielders, no forward midfielders.
The combination of Nemanja Matic, Ramirez and Cesc Fabregas at the back can not only help the attack, but also ensure the hardness of the defence.
Cesc Fabregas is a technical player, but he was playing at Barcelona. He is often involved in pressing and defending, which is related to Barcelona's tactical thinking. So his defensive ability is actually not bad.
In contrast to Chelsea's conservatism, Real Madrid started with a direct attack. The battle between guns and shields has kicked off from the beginning of the game.
This kind of offensive and defensive drill game, it depends on personal thoughts, some people will find this kind of game interesting, if you want to see attack, you can watch Real Madrid, if you want to watch defense, you can watch Chelsea, no matter what, you can find what you want to see.
Comparatively. The kind of football where the two sides attack each other, although exciting and exciting, lacks the beauty of defense.
However, most people should still like that kind of game, which made the beginning of this game cause many neutral fans to be dissatisfied, and the Internet has been overwhelmingly scolded.
Of course, the ones who scolded the most were Mourinho and Chelsea, who said that they shrunk their heads and turtles, and they scolded everything anyway.
But this case. Mourinho had already thought about it, he was dismissive of these scoldings, and it was not a heroic move to have to play against a team like Real Madrid. That's stupidity and recklessness.
He had done a lot of research and arguments before the game about this match, and finally came to the conclusion that he wanted to win. You have to drag the game into a penalty shootout, and if you manage to pull it into a penalty shootout. Then Chelsea will take advantage, if it can't be done. That's a loss.
He was very open-minded, believing that he had done nothing wrong, and his players were faithfully fulfilling his tactics, although the Arsenal fans and Real Madrid fans in the stands shouted "cut the turtle, cut the turtle", but these players were indifferent, they have not experienced this kind of thing once or twice, as long as they can win the championship in the end, it doesn't matter how to endure the humiliation.
Their first Champions League trophy was won in this way, and there is nothing bad about it.
Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, these teams were very heroic in the face of Real Madrid, but what was the final result? One loses worse than the other, and this is something that has been proven to be true.
Neutral fans don't care about themselves because they just need beautiful football, so they don't care if Chelsea loses, so they can stand and talk without backache, but Mourinho can't, for him, what kind of beautiful football, then you have to have that strength, don't do it if you don't have the strength, otherwise it's suicide.
However, these fans scolded and scolded, they still watched it with relish, after all, not both sides adopted this kind of shrinking tactics, they don't like Chelsea's style of play, then just go to see Real Madrid's style of play, Real Madrid can attack very fiercely now.
……
Real Madrid has Lin Yu, a big killer, and it must be to play the attack to the extreme, so as soon as the game began, their attack was already launched. This made the neutral fans a little happier, otherwise both teams would have defended and the game would have been unwatchable.
As Real Madrid's manager Zinedine Zinedine, he also worried that this would give Chelsea a chance to counterattack, after all, Mourinho's team is very afraid of counter-attacking, sometimes a counterattack can directly solve the problem, but he believes that his players can avoid this situation.
Offense is offense, but it doesn't attack blindly, you like a few defenders, they didn't rush up, this is to avoid being beaten and counterattacked, and the heavy responsibility of the offense is basically completed by four people in the front court - Lin Yu, Cristiano. Ronaldo, Bale, Royce.
These four people are enough, and then relying on Pogba and Modric's backcourt scheduling, the attack is completely worthwhile.
Too many people go up, but it may also affect the rhythm of the attack, after all, Real Madrid is not Barcelona, they don't like to go back and forth, so there is no need for everyone to rush up.
Four people make it easier to clarify the relationship.
This game is basically this rhythm, and if there are no accidents, it is estimated that both sides will always play like this.
Real Madrid attack, Chelsea defend.
Such a rhythm of the game, although there is no shortage of exciting offense and defense, but after all, it is not as exciting as the offense, so it is normal for fans to complain on the Internet, and even some commentators have begun to express their dissatisfaction.
'We thought it might be like that before the game, but it was a bit disappointing that Chelsea started without even trying to attack. Can't they just try? ”
'Not only Chelsea, but Real Madrid are not as aggressive in attack as they could have been. The backcourt players almost don't go up, you don't go up. How can you expose the flaws, if you don't expose the flaws, Chelsea won't attack, Chelsea won't attack, how can you look for a good opportunity to score? ”
"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed, now it's up to Lin Yu to break the balance first, if Lin Yu can take the lead by one goal, then it is impossible for Chelsea to defend. It's a Champions League final, and they won't have the heart to defend anymore. ”
"Anyway, every time you watch a match between Real Madrid and Chelsea, you have to be prepared for this, and the matchup is like an offensive and defensive drill, and it's really not interesting to watch."
……
At this time, in the hospital in Madrid, Di Stefano watched the game with his eyes open, and although the doctors tried to dissuade him from watching the game, Di Stefano threatened him with death.
He said: "I know my own body best, and I don't have long to live." If you want me to die, don't let me see it. ”
He said so, including his family, and the doctors in the hospital didn't dare to persuade him. Because the doctor actually knew in his heart that Di Stefano could really die at any time, this game would not have much impact.
Still, he told the old man's family. Be mentally prepared to be ready to take the blow of pain at any time.
Rebecca had planned to go to the game. But she was now sitting at the head of the bed, holding Di Stefano's hand. Watching this game with my grandfather.
"Hmph, a group of commentators who don't understand the ball, what do you know, the final is not a friendly match, of course it's about victory, who cares if it's good-looking, it's a competitive sport, if you don't like it, you can go to street football, it's beautiful." Di Stefano said disdainfully when he heard the comments on the TV.
"Grandpa, don't talk, okay." Rebecca began to gasp when she saw that Di Stefano had finished speaking, and her heart was beating obviously unevenly, so she hurriedly said.
"Okay, let's stop talking, watch the game." Di Stefano smiled, the flame of his life, like a candle that was about to be extinguished, really didn't know when it would be completely extinguished.
……
Platini sat in a hospital bed, coldly watching the game on the TV, and snorted disdainfully: "Shame! ”
His assistant also nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, it is a shame for football to let such two teams enter the final, Real Madrid has a Lin Yu, and Chelsea's style of play is really ugly, this is the regression of football." ”
"You think so, too?"
"Yes, sir, that Lin Yu is not only disrespectful to UEFA, but also repeatedly provoked UEFA, speaking rudely, and being even more arrogant, I don't understand, why can this kind of person play so well, God is also blind."
"Don't talk nonsense, God is good, it's just that he can't clean up this demon from China." Platini said lightly.
"Yes, yes, that guy shouldn't be in European football. Let's talk about Chelsea, what kind of football is it, it's really undaring. ”
"Jose Mourinho disappointed me, I wanted to support his Chelsea team to win Real Madrid, but this style of play is ...... Alas. Platini sighed.
"Sir wants to support Mourinho?"
"That's right, no matter how ugly his team plays, but it's better than Lin Yu's arrogant guy, if it weren't for Lin Yu, I wouldn't have lost the position of UEFA president, let alone being investigated until now, damn it."
“……”
……
Although Platini was not satisfied with the match, just because he was not satisfied does not mean that the game was not exciting.
In fact, if you look at it yourself, this game has been played for 20 minutes, and there are actually a lot of remarkable points.
Needless to say, Real Madrid's attack, led by Lin Yu, has caused many threats, if it weren't for Chelsea's defense being too desperate and too good, it is estimated that the score would have changed long ago.
On Chelsea's side, although the attack is relatively small, it is not without threat.
For example, in the fifth minute, Chelsea were given a free-kick that was taken by Schurrle and hit the post straight into the post, leaving the Real Madrid fans in a cold sweat and Casillas startled.
Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense has not been lax, otherwise it would be really troublesome, if you think that Chelsea will only defend and ignore the defense, then it is definitely Real Madrid themselves who are unlucky in the end. (To be continued......)
