Chapter 225: Halilozic's Change of Formation
France is a romantic country, but these crazy Paris Saint-Germain fans don't look romantic, and as the Chelsea bus drove along the road around the Parc des Princes to the main entrance, they gathered and took advantage of it, blocking the blue bus with their bodies and blocking the Chelsea team from entering the stadium.
If it weren't for the protection of the Paris police, perhaps the Chelsea team would never have thought of opening the pitch, and even so, it took more than an hour for the bus to travel from the square to the main entrance of the stadium.
However, apart from Thomas, the rest of the Chelsea players in the carriage didn't care, with Wang, Frank Lampard and Brigi smiling and pointing at the window.
"The more they are like this, the more they are afraid of us." Manager Jose Mourinho smiled and said to the players in the carriage: "Paris Saint-Germain's league results this season are really dismal, so these fans don't have much confidence in this game at all, they are so crazy before the game. ”
After Mourinho finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Li and didn't say anything, in fact, everyone knows that the reason why these fans did this is also due to Wang Li's victory remarks before the game, and in the game held at his home stadium, the other party issued a victory declaration, which obviously did not take Paris Saint-Germain in his eyes at all.
The fans of these European football clubs, almost from generation to generation, are really afraid not of a defeat, but of the dignity and tradition of the team, only if the team has always had these two things, it will always be able to create its own glory!
……… The Chelsea players changed their clothes in the away team's dressing room, and under the leadership of manager Jose Mourinho, they walked into the green field to do the final acclimatization training, and at this time, the fans had already begun to enter the field, and many fans who had just sat down saw the black-haired boy on the field doing free kick shooting practice, and after several consecutive kicks were saved, they immediately let out a mocking 'boo'.
"Alan, it seems that you are not very popular!?" Thomas, who was standing in front of the door, quipped.
Wang Li smiled and didn't say anything, looked around, then raised his right foot and kicked it on the bottom edge of the ball, "Knock! With a bang, the football flew directly into the left corner of the goal, making the voices of the fans in the audience even pause, but the fans who reacted 'boo' were even louder.
Wang Li smiled and raised his arms, stretched out his little thumb in the air with both hands, this ** naked insult, caused an uproar among the fans who had just entered the stadium, and then it was another round of language bombardment, at this time, the fourth official who had just come to the stadium also came to warn Wang Li not to provoke the fans, in the face of this, Wang Li could only touch his head, hehe smiled and promised that he would not next time.
"That's it? He doesn't look very old, he's so arrogant! On the other side of the pitch, Paris Saint-German, said Lagus, a striker from Tunisia.
Mbami looked at the black-haired boy who was laughing at the fourth official opposite, and said sarcastically: "This kid really doesn't take us seriously, it seems that the media is right, he is really a megalomaniac, it should be said that he is a grandstanding clown." ”
"Don't underestimate him, in the Premier League, he's the top scorer at the moment, a freak who can score 10 goals in five games." Pauletta reminded his teammates.
At the European Championship in June, the 32-year-old Pauletta sat on the bench of the Portuguese team, and he witnessed Wang Li's greatness. Besides, at Paris Saint-Germain, he was the team's undisputed striker, so he knew better how horrible it was to score 10 goals in five games, and if it weren't realistic, he would have thought it was nonsense at first sound.
"Don't worry, I'll let him know it's amazing." Mendy, who had just recovered from injury, flashed a wicked smile on his face and said affirmatively.
Seeing Mendy say this, Pauletta didn't persuade him again, he also wanted to see how far that brunette kid could go in the face of the French international Mendy's full-field marking, and even if he didn't think Mendy's defensive ability was better than Carvalho, it would be unwise to hit the self-confidence of his teammates before the game.
……… The referee of this match was Nelson from Denmark, who officiated the England vs Argentina match of the century in the '98 World Cup, awarded a penalty to each side in 10 minutes, and at the 45th minute of the game, he sent off the then young David. David Beckham lost 5-6 on penalties in England, but Nelson was known for his tough enforcement.
By the time all the fans had entered the stadium, it was already 1:20, and by this time, the players of both teams were already standing in the players' tunnel, ready to start entering.
In the tunnel, the eyes of almost all Paris Saint-Germain players were on the brunette boy in the Chelsea team who was talking and laughing with his teammates, perhaps they wanted to use this invisible pressure to force Wang Li to feel nervous, which in turn affected his performance. But obviously this is useless, in the previous life in the Tianlong World, he has long been used to facing the coercion of the master Xuzhuzi Grandmaster-level for a long time, and the eyes of these 10 Portuguese are really nothing - compared to Xuzhuzi, can their eyes really be called oppression!?
Seeing this situation, most of the players at Paris Saint-Germain were holding their breath in their hearts, they felt that they were being ignored! Especially the French international Mendy, who vowed to prevent Wang Li from death, was even more annoyed with Wang Li in his heart.
But now, Mendy has no time to think about anything else, and with Nelson's signal, the starters are about to start coming in.
It is worth mentioning that when Wang Li trotted into the stadium, he was booed by more than 40,000 Paris Saint-Germain fans in the audience, for the Paris fans, this black-haired boy is too arrogant, and now, almost all the Parisian fans, are waiting for him to make a fool of himself in the game.
It is conceivable that if Wang Li does not score in the game, he will definitely be ridiculed by the fans!!
At this time, Sky TV anchor, the avid 'Ai fan' Mr. Graham, had already begun to introduce the starting line-ups of both sides: "...... Chelsea fielded a 442 formation today, with Eduer Edul up front. Goodjanssen and Allen. With the combination of kings, Lampard and Makelele sit firmly in the midfield. Cole and Damien. Duff plays left and right wingers, and the defender is captain John. Terry, Robert. Hutter, William. Gallas and Wayne. Bridget. ”
"Oh my God, Cavilo, Graemy, and Drogba are on the bench. Robben didn't even make the squad. Is Mr. Mourinho still going to rotate today? ……”
“…… Okay, okay, so let's take a look at the list of Paris Saint-Germain, Mr. Halilozic also lined up a 442 formation, No. 1 goalkeeper Letici, defenders Armand, Yebis, Pier vanfan, Mendy, midfielders Mbami, Kana, Pankret, Cisse, strikers Coriton and Pauletta. ”
……… In the opening stages, Paris Saint-Germain adopted a conservative 442 defensive formation.
In fact, for the group stage of the European Champions Cup, coach Halilozic attaches great importance to it, and now Paris Saint-Germain has not won a single victory in the league, which makes almost everyone very dissatisfied, so Halilozic wants to use this game to prove his ability.
Chelsea are the Premier League's top team and even beating that team at home would show what Halilozic is capable of and give fans and the club's hierarchy a little bit of confidence.
With this in mind, before the game, Halilozic studied Chelsea's recent game video for a long time, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt unconfident, Chelsea's attacking ability was too strong, Allen. Wang and Didier. Drogba's collocation, in terms of offensive ability, can really be said to be invincible and unstoppable!
Therefore, in this game, Mr. Halilozic discharged a conservative 442 formation, you must know that in the previous games, Paris Saint-Germain has always played a 424 offensive formation.
Since the two teams did not know each other, in the opening stage, both teams tacitly agreed not to attack aggressively, but to do several waves of tepid attacks to test the opponent's defensive ability.
Halilozic left the task of defending Wang Li entirely to France international defender Edouard Mendy, who claimed that he wanted to leave 'that arrogant boy' out of action, but the situation on the pitch was completely different from what Mendy had expected.
Within the opening 5 minutes, Mendy has been following Wang Li's side, but Mendy has been broken by the latter three times in a row!
Five minutes, three breakaways, what's the difference between that and being unguarded!
In fact, Wang Li was still very helpless about the defense of the sturdy little man who followed him. This kind of close defense will have a big impact on his performance, making him have a scruple about team-mates, even if he attacks himself, it will be a waste of time, and if it weren't for the little man next to him who has been getting in the way, that long-range shot just now might have scored.
However, the manager of Paris Saint-Saint-German, Halilozc, does not see it that way, seeing the black-haired boy on the field break through again and again, he has already scolded Mendy half to death in his heart.
Did the injury affect his condition? Halilozic hesitated, but the game had only just begun, and he couldn't make a substitution at this time, so he hurried to the sideline to inform defender Edelman to pay attention to the right side of the defense.
……… Chelsea didn't come up and went on a big attack, and on the pitch, the two teams seemed to be evenly matched.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Halilozic, who was eager to pursue victory, became urgent: in the Chelsea lineup, Drogba did not play, and Mendy was keeping an eye on Wang Li and Altyn all over the field. Robben failed to enter the squad, that is to say, several of the opponent's main attackers have been 'suppressed', so the opponent's offensive ability will definitely be greatly reduced!
If you don't exert your power now, when will you wait!?
Halilozic had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he felt that the opportunity to score a goal had arrived, and if he suddenly used a big attack before the opponent realized this, he was likely to create a score!
So, under Mourinho's puzzled gaze, the Bosnian coach walked directly to the sidelines, waved his hand, and signaled that the Paris Saint-German team was going to launch a big attack!!
At this time, Mr. Halilozic had already expected the next goal in his heart, and there was a smile on his face as a successful man......
