Chapter 489: Trouble

readx;

The opening game was a great one, with Real Madrid and Chelsea each attacking and both almost breaking the opposition goal, but the important thing is that neither team could score, they were still on the same page. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, as the game progressed, Chelsea became passive.

It's not about strength or play, but maybe it's also about tactics.

Jose Mourinho has always focused on defence, and against Real Madrid and at the Bernabeu, he is unlikely to use attacking tactics. Chelsea are not the same as last season's Chelsea, and as the media commented, Chelsea's attacking prowess has dropped more than a notch.

Their opponent, Real Madrid, has Wang Li, and the offensive ability of the two teams is very different from each other, so Mourinho insists on using defensive tactics.

I have to say that Chelsea's defensive lineup is really strong, the back four does not count, the back three Frank Lampard, Essien and Makelele are all very good defensive players, such a defensive lineup can make the average team not hopeful about goals.

As the game wore on, the effect of the formation did not show, but the defensive tactics were already on the surface.

Chelsea's opening attack may have just scared Real Madrid, but after that, they became all-out attacking and defensive, and as the line pulled back, the game became dominated by Real Madrid's attack, while Chelsea began to play defensive counter-attacks.

Whether it is the journalists, the media, the commentators of various TV stations, or the managers of the two teams who are playing on the pitch, they are mentally prepared for this kind of game situation. The style of play is there, and if you want to win at the Bernabeu, then Chelsea have to defend and Real Madrid have to attack.

Of course, this kind of defence is not just about defending, and Chelsea's counter-attacks are also very effective, especially on the wings Arjen Robben and Duff.

On the left, Arjen Robben threatened Real Madrid's half again and again with his speed, while Duff played the role of Frank Lampard with his team-mates, which meant that he played the role of the team's attacking commander on the counter-attack on the right.

The performances of these two players have made Chelsea's counter-attack full of threats, while Didier Drogba in the middle of the road has been given chances.

Chelsea once again showed a two-winged attacking approach, with the English style of attacking being simple, direct, yet full of efficiency.

But all in all, Real Madrid's attack on the pitch is still the theme.

In this game, Carlo still used the traditional 442 formation, and the four people in the backfield were Robert Brown. Carlos, captain Pavon, youngsters Ramos and Ciceño, David. Beckham, Zidane two superstars are still firmly in the midfield, Baptista, Raul also played, in this game, Carlo put Raul in the middle, although his position is the midfielder, but it is also similar to the striker, it should be said to play a shadow striker role, the two strikers are Wang Li and Robinho's partner.

After so many rounds, the partnership of Wang Li and Robinho proved to be the most efficient, while Ronaldo was increasingly marginalized, and the world's top star was already on a downward slope in his career.

However, Carlo still put Ronaldo on the bench, and at the critical moment, Ronaldo is likely to be a firefighter, and his experience and awareness are by no means comparable to Robinho.

Another Real Madrid attack.

The team's captain, Pavon, won the ball at the back, played a few passes with his teammates, and finally handed the ball to David. At the feet of David Beckham.

Seeing Beckham get the ball, Drogba, who was in the midfield, ran up, he opened his mouth wide, his face showed a confused smile, his expression was very thick, but his feet were not thick at all, he was jogging, while paying attention to Beckham's movements, as if he was ready to scramble at any moment.

However, Beckham didn't give Drogba a chance to steal the ball, and he played a combination with Zidane to pass the ball across the halfway line and to Baptista's feet.

As a traditional Brazilian player, Baptista has a strong dribbling ability and shooting efficiency, but the competition for positions in the forward line is so fierce that manager Carlo can only position him as a midfielder. Fortunately, Baptista's personal qualities are very comprehensive, and he can also play well in midfield, and after a few months at Real Madrid, Baptista is now close to getting the main position.

This time, after receiving a pass from Beckham, Baptista first looked up at the front, and instead of stopping the ball, he pushed the ball into a no-man's land at the edge of the box. There was no one there, but it was a ball, and in order to give the other players a chance, the Chelsea defenders could see at a glance that it was not a mistake, so the players next to them scrambled to come and clear the ball, but it was obviously too late.

Robinho was already in front of the ball, he made a shot and then kicked it to the left.

Baptista received the ball again, this time with a burst of fire that was brought forward from the left side, and Terry scrambled to follow, but it allowed Baptista to pass a position and when he had the chance, Baptista lifted his foot and kicked the shot.

Unfortunately, the ball was saved by Thomas on a side, causing a sound of frustration throughout the Bernabeu stadium.

Real Madrid were awarded a corner, but this time it ended in failure, and the ball was headed out of the box by Carvalho

Then, after Chelsea's counter-attack was ineffective, it was another Real Madrid attack.

The attack was initiated by Zinedine Zidane in the middle, who dribbled over the halfway line and pushed the ball to the right, where David Beckham was. Beckham got the ball and passed it directly to Wang Li.

At this time, Wang Li was closely watched by Chelsea's Makellele, and in order to ensure the safety of the ball, he ran a few steps towards the football before he got the pass steadily.

After winning the ball, Wang Li dunked the ball three times in a row before flashing Makelele's steal, but he was still stuck by the latter. In desperation, Wang Li took the ball forward, and then followed, only to shake off Makellele's two positions, but at this time, there was Essien's block in front.

In the warm-up training before the start of the game, Wang Li met this black young man, he was with Frank Lampard, but Wang Li did not know him, and did not know what his ability was, so in the run, Wang Li used the 'shadowless foot', his feet continued to pedal on the ball, the football was hidden under his legs, and he could not even find a shadow.

Essien was dumbfounded by this way of passing, even if his teammates reminded him before the game that this brunette kid was very good at dribbling, but he hadn't really experienced it, and it was hard to imagine that a bicycle could be pedaled like this.

But he wasn't in a hurry, as Claude Makelele was right behind him, and all he needed to do was stick to him, slow him down and protect Chelsea's back.

He did it.

After Wang Li used the shadowless foot, his speed was obviously slower, and the black young man in front of him seemed unmoved, so after a while, Makelle chased after him, seeing that Essien and Makelele were about to close the door for him.

In desperation, Wang used his right foot to pull the ball to the left, and then after a horizontal movement of his body, out of the range of the bag, he stabbed the ball to Raul next to him.

Raul won the ball and passed it to the inserted Beckham, who transferred it to Robinho.

Robinho played a solid game in this game, although he has not had any spectacular performances in the past, but as a striker, at least in terms of coordination and play, he has almost become an indispensable part of Real Madrid's attack.

After winning the ball, Robinho shook it straight past Chelsea captain John Brown. Terry, with a kick that lobbles the ball down the left side.

On the left side of the penalty area, it was still Baptista, and in the past game, the Brazilian teenager was undoubtedly the best, he received the ball and shook it off. Ferreira, got his chance, and had another shot on goal.

The ball was pounced on with both hands by Thomas, who reacted very quickly.

Robinho followed up with a follow-up shot, but unfortunately the ball went out of the post under the interference of Kawai Luo, which made the audience lament again.

It was a shame that the ball didn't go in with two shots.

'Robinho's shot flew off the post, which was a shame. Real Madrid's attack has been very good during this period and they are probably just one goal away."

After several similar attacks, the Real Madrid fans in the stadium found a problem, that is, in the team's attack, it seems that it is difficult to find the brunette boy.

These few attacks, Real Madrid played very well, but among the attacking personnel, the frequency of the black-haired boy was very low, and even if he appeared, it was not as the main figure of the attack, from the beginning to the present, except for the first long-range shot, they only saw the black-haired boy have dribbled a few times, which is really confusing.

In fact, Wang Li was in trouble.

He found that he rarely got the ball, and every time he got the ball, he was in a very bad position, to be precise, every time he got the ball, the Chelsea defenders were all around him, and although he could dribble past 2 or 3 players, it was difficult to get rid of them near the penalty area, and there was no room to shoot.

It made him very frustrated, as if Chelsea had developed some tactics to defend him, but for a while it was difficult for him to understand the way Chelsea defended, but that kind of defence had a big impact on his performance.

Seeing that the ball was out of the sideline again, Wang Li touched his head helplessly, constantly thinking about his own problems.

In fact, Mourinho did arrange the tactics of marking Wang Li, and it is impossible for him not to arrange this, which is basically no different from giving up the game.

After the Champions League draw, Mourinho began to let the players at the back practice the tactics of defending Wang Li. In normal times, Mourinho rarely thinks about defensive strategies for a player, but in the face of Real Madrid and Wang Li, he has to think about tactics.

After a long period of research, coupled with the understanding of Wang Li, Mourinho found that it is really difficult to limit the play of a single defensive tactic, or finding someone to defend Wang Li closely. At this time, he experienced the frustration of Wenger and Ferguson, but there was no way, he had to find a good way.

So, this set of defensive tactics came out.

In response to Wang Li's defense, Mourinho finally decided to use a variety of overlapping defensive methods - on the one hand, block Wang Li's way to get the ball, let him take the ball as little as possible, so that his threat must be much smaller, every time Real Madrid players get the ball, they will find themselves with a Chelsea player between Wang Li, then the ball passed to Wang Li will inevitably be much less.

On the one hand, let the player defend him closely, minimize the tackle of one kick, and defend closely, so as to constantly compress his shooting and passing space, so as to limit his play. Of the two, limiting Wang Li's shots is the most important, Mourinho knows the accuracy of Wang Li's shots well, and it is really difficult to keep the goal without trying to limit this.

Finally, there must be a superb defensive player to follow Wang Li, not allowing him to easily dribble the ball and shoot easily, and this player is Makellele.

Together, these three aspects minimise the number of times Wang Li has the ball, and when he has the ball, it is difficult to find any chances, with Makelele, Essien and Ricciardo. Carvalho's three-man defense, Wang Li is really not easy to find any opportunities.

From the start of the game to the present, Wang Li's performance has proven the success of Mourinho's tactics.

Seeing Wang Li's helpless expression, Mourinho, who was sitting on the bench, also showed a smug smile on his face. This is not a downfall for Wang Li, but a joy for his tactical success.

The defense of Wang Li has now become an international issue, and many coaches are studying this issue.

And now the game on the pitch has proven that Mourinho has been successful for at least that time, with Chelsea's defensive tactics working in the first 20 minutes. In these 20 minutes, Wang Li only had a total of 2 shots on goal, except for the opening one, the other shot on goal was only a wave shot after forcing out of the position, which did not pose a little threat to the Chelsea goal, but gave Chelsea a good chance to counterattack.

As long as the game continues like this, by the time the game is over, the brunette will probably be restricted from performing at all.

"It's just a player."

Mourinho thought complacently that he was still indignant at the pre-match quarrel between the two.

As a manager, it's a bit unthinkable to develop defensive tactics specifically for one of the opposing players, but the success so far still makes Mourinho very complacent, at least no team can hold on to Wang Li.

However, defending against Wang Li does not mean that Chelsea have an advantage.

Real Madrid is not just one Wang Li, the attack of other players is still playing smoothly, threatening Chelsea's defense again and again, and although Wang Li has not performed, he himself has involved two or even three Chelsea players, in this case, it seems that Real Madrid is about to score.

However, without Wang's performance, the Chelsea players were scrappy as they saw hope of victory.

As long as there is no player like Wang Li, who can almost be described as a rebellious player, Chelsea feel that the team has hope of winning even in a 10-man match of 11 men
