Chapter 220: Genius Tactics
Stamford Bridge, London, England.
"Alan! Allan! ”
"Let them know it's awesome!"
"Our Prince! St. Allen! ”
…… Tens of thousands of Blues fans in the entire audience were excited, they kept shouting Wang Li's name, and even added a holy word in front of the name to express the highest reverence.
After waiting for half-time, Chelsea finally took the lead again, and it was a perfect sneak attack, a complete reflection of Wangli's individual ability, and his pace was so fast that Tottenham Hotspur's defenders didn't react at all.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jacques Brown. Santini stood on the sidelines of the pitch with a gloomy face, the goal just now was really unexpected, but most of the reason came down to the Tottenham players, obviously, at the end of the first half, they were all slack, constantly falling in the back, often meant creating opportunities for the opponent, you know, this is not Spain or Juventus, Tottenham did not implement that kind of tactical background.
Wang Li was also very happy, his idea of inspiration actually succeeded, he himself was a little surprised, this game was not easy, the opponent's offensive ability is also very strong, it was really unexpected to score such a simple goal.
On the rainy court, in addition to being happy, Wang Li also excitedly came to a few hugs with his teammates, although Robben's hug just now was not very comfortable, but now it is he who scored the goal, the mood is different, and the feeling is naturally different. Mr. Mourinho, who has always been calm on the bench, also smiled for the first time this time, with this goal, after adjusting his tactics in the second half, he was more sure to win.
After the Chelsea team celebrated, the referee blew the whistle directly at the end of the first half, although the whole player was looking forward to this whistle just now, but now, the Tottenham players who were sneaked a goal in vain were not in the mood, this belated whistle was more like a shrill noise, because now the Tottenham players do not want to return to the dressing room at all, you must know Jacques. Santini doesn't have a good temper, and the power of his saliva attack is something these players don't want to understand
Away dressing room at Stamford Bridge.
"What did you all do!? Are you really pros!? In the last minute of the game, a boy under the age of 18 was sneak attacked!? ...... "Jacques. Santini stood in front of the door, his face full of anger, and waved his right hand as he spoke- "...... Stupid pig! A bunch of stupid pigs!! Is it just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle? I don't know how you became a professional footballer, you don't even have the slightest bit of a sense of vigilance! Sean, didn't you notice that kid had approached Toth and passed the ball to him? Also, how did you defend and let the kid who wasn't 18 score two goals in the first half, and I didn't remember what I said before the game? It's all stupid people who can only attack!! ……”
The players in the locker room, all bowed their heads and did not speak, in fact, many people were a little unconvinced, the strength of the black-haired boy on the field is known to everyone, in this case, 4 games still maintain a terrifying efficiency of 2 goals per game, such a player will be an 'ordinary boy under 18 years old'!?
However, there is no first, no second, on the football field, no one will easily admit defeat, being so provoked by the head coach, they all want to play well in the second half, can't let that kid perform, by the way, let those hateful Chelsea fans see that the Premier League's 'white lily' is by no means a soft persimmon to be kneaded.
In fact, if it wasn't for the goal at the end of the first half, Mr. Santini would never be so angry, he also knows that the Chelsea team is really strong, even if it is a set and a half substitute lineup, it is not comparable to Tottenham's current lineup, at least in terms of the value of the whole team, the difference between the players on the field of the two teams is at least 4 times more!
"While grasping the attack, we must do a good job of defense, when the opponent counterattacks, the players involved in the attack must also return to defense, press all over the court, don't let the opponent easily pass the ball in the backfield, the defense must be spread out from the front court to the back court, as long as we can do this, the game will definitely be in our hands, understand?"
"In the second half, Edman, you are more involved in the defense on the left side, and Ifil should also pay attention to the right side of the defense, that brunette kid has a strong dribbling ability, even if he can't steal directly, he can't let him pass the ...... easily"
After a scolding, Jacques. Santini also began to lay out the task of the second half, and although Tottenham Hotspur is still behind and no better than Chelsea in terms of strength, it is not easy to admit defeat.
………… In the home team's dressing room.
Although Chelsea took the lead, Mr Mourinho did not look very good when he entered the dressing room. This is so because of the performance of some of the players in the team, especially striker Adrian. Mutu is the best.
Throughout the first half, Mutu didn't show much, it seemed that he couldn't keep up with his fitness and was not in good shape, but even so, this kind of performance should not be in the Premier League, and even the players in the Championship can do better than him in the first half.
After Mourinho reprimanded him with a black face, he let the 26-year-old Nisilia defender Celestian . Babayaro replaced Mutu, a Nigerian who moved to Chelsea in 1997 and is a veritable old man of the team, but in the last two years due to the big changes in the Chelsea team, Barbayaro has struggled to play.
However, Mourinho still kept him, and with the quality of Babayaro, it is also a good choice for Chelsea to supplement the team's backfield in frequent matches in the new season.
In fact, with Mourinho's mind, of course, he is to replace a defensive midfielder, who can attack and defend, so that he can win more securely, but the national team game has just ended, and he is still a little worried about Lampard's physical problems.
"In the second half, the main focus is on defense, strengthen the team's defensive strength, don't let Tottenham have any chances, in the counterattack, be careful not to insert too many players with assists, Tottenham's attack is very fast, they will definitely focus on attacking the two wings in the second half, and pay more attention to supplemental defense."
'Crowder, you have to direct the team's defence and remind them of their position, Tottenham don't have players who are too good from free-kicks, so you have to be fierce when you're close to the box and don't give them a chance to get the ball into the box.
…… While Mourinho was still repeating the team's defensive tasks, Joe Mourinho. Cole pulled Wang Li and muttered in private, for the two of them, the team's defense has nothing ......to do with them, perhaps, the only one in the whole Chelsea who completely let go of the attack, the only one - Mr. Mourinho, never take the initiative to arrange defensive tasks for them.
"Alan, you're going to have to score a few more goals in the second half!" Joe. Cole said with a flattering face.
"Huh?" Wang Lileng paused, turned his head and looked at Qiao. Cole's expression was puzzled, "Maybe......"
“**! You have to get in! ”
"Why?"
"Then I'll have a chance to play! Well, I guess if you score two more goals and the team is three ahead, in case of all the mistakes, the boss will definitely let me play. "Joe. Cole said, wrestling his fingers.
"Oh...," Wang Li glared, "I said that your kid wouldn't be so kind, it turned out to be for this." ”
"Hey...... hey" Joe. Kerr scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I haven't played in 10 days, and I think the fans must have missed me already." ”
“……”
………… At Stamford Bridge anchor Creed. Fifteen minutes passed quickly amid Peswack's chatter of praise for the Chelsea team, and the players from both teams were already in their positions and the game resumed with the referee's whistle.
Tottenham Hotspur still haven't changed their all-attacking tactics, the 442 formation has been beaten into 424 by them, and several midfielders have frequently inserted, as if to break through the door of Chelsea in one fell swoop and equalize.
In fact, under the advice of the manager off the field, Tottenham Hotspur seemed to attack aggressively, but the players on the field were not arrogant or impatient, and they also did a good job in defense, only in the second half of the five minutes, they made four consecutive counter-attacks in front, if it were not for Chelsea's captain Claude Makelele reacted quickly and commanded, perhaps they would have equalised.
Chelsea, on the other hand, looked much more restricted, and at half-time, manager Jose Mourinho was tasked with a more defensive focus, in fact, last season, the Portuguese champions have been an advocate of 1-0 tactics, as long as they have a goal in hand, they have begun to focus on defence, even if the top giants want to break through the defensive formation under his command.
At this time, the situation on the field made Jacques. Santini is a little puzzled, in fact, he has no experience with Mourinho, in his opinion, Chelsea's squad and players are no worse than Tottenham, 'Are Chelsea going to shrink their defense?' ’
Thinking of this, Mr. Santini still shook his head, in this situation, even if Chelsea really want to rely on defense and defend the one-goal advantage, it is not easy, and in the attack of Tottenham, this choice is not wise.
In the eyes of the fans in the audience, the situation is obviously the Chelsea team's great weakness, the field is almost one-sided, in Stamford Bridge can play like this, so that Tottenham fans are greatly enjoyed, they seem to have forgotten that the team is still behind, more than 2,000 Tottenham fans cheered, if you don't know, I think Tottenham has a big lead!
However, after a few minutes, the Spurs fans closed their mouths and tens of thousands of Blues fans began to cheer loudly.
Lightning-fast as lightning!!
Chelsea's counter-attack led to another goal!
In the 64th minute of the game, the captain of the field, Claude . A vicious tackle by Makelele cut off Tottenham's short pass, and he kicked the ball forward. Mendes received the ball and passed it to Wang Li, who didn't stop the ball at all, swung his right foot to the ball with a long pass, and the football went to Altyn. At the feet of Arjen Robben, who fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box and slotted the ball into the corner.
4 people, three passes and one shot, 10 seconds, the score was rewritten to 4:2!!
"Altyn. Robben!! The Dutchman scored twice, his shot was too powerful, the angle was very tricky, the opposing goalkeeper couldn't do anything at all, and Chelsea scored a goal again!! 'Chelsea were under attack for a good 10 minutes, but it only took a burst of counter-attack to get on the score. Peswak was thrilled – 'Chelsea's counter-attack was so sharp, 14 seconds! In just 14 seconds, from the back court to the front court, every cooperation is wonderful to the peak, everyone looks at the slow-motion replay ......., especially Allen's pass is so good, I really don't know, how did he see the defensive gap, Allen's pass, almost without hesitation, this gave Alking a wonderful shooting opportunity, on the line of the big penalty area, when Alkin received the ball, almost no one defended ......"
After a brief celebration of the goal, the game resumed, and since the start of the season they have had several occasions to celebrate goals in each game, perhaps many of the strikers are tired of it, but of course, the goal-scorers will not get tired of it - at least, they will receive a handsome bonus - between £15,000 and £20,000.
In the next game, it really staged a textbook 'no ball' scene for these fans.
In the second half, Tottenham had a staggering 73 per cent possession, but in this case, in the space of 30 minutes, they only had four shots on goal, and three of them went straight to the plane, while Chelsea, on the other hand, relied on a few counter-attacks and had five shots on goal, one of which flew wide and three into the woodwork, and scored once.
At this time, Jacques on the sidelines. Mr. Santini finally understood Mourinho's tactics - Chelsea used a large number of small areas outside the penalty area, which made it difficult for Tottenham's attacking players to pass through this defence, and Chelsea's attacking players were actually only Wang Li and Thiago near the halfway line. Mendes, Alking, who has been in the frontcourt. Robben is just three.
It can be said that the Chelsea team is now completely playing defensive counterattacks, and under the strong strength, this tactic has made the Chelsea team a dominant player in both attack and defense, that is, as long as Tottenham does not grasp the initiative to attack in a small area at the front of the Chelsea penalty area, then the game is almost dominated by the Chelsea team!
'Genius tactics! At this time, Jacques. Santini also has to admire Mourinho's mind, this tactic is almost tailor-made for the Chelsea team, and as a strong coach, Santini knows that at least on a tactical level, he has lost completely!
However, the game did not stop because of Mr. Santini's emotion.
In the 81st minute, Chelsea won a corner on the right, Geremi's pass was hoisted to the back post, and Wang Li took advantage of it to head the ball into the corner of the net.
The goal gave him another hat-trick and wiped out Tottenham's hopes of an equaliser.
"Allen, Allen, Allen!"
"Prince of Stamford Bridge, St Allen!"
…… After celebrating the goal, Mourinho let Joe . Cole replaced Wang Li on the court for the game, which also gave Wang Li a chance to receive the cheers of the fans.
On Stamford Bridge, the light rain gradually stopped, the sun was once again revealed in the clouds, and the game on the pitch also made the Blues fans feel refreshed, and finally, with the referee's whistle, the game was over, and the final score was fixed at 5:2, and Chelsea won once again!
