Chapter 307: Chelsea's New Tactics (2)

After the head coach of the team, Jose. After Mr. Mourinho pointed and explained carefully on the tactical board, all the players in the team roughly understood the purpose of this tactic, and then turned their heads to look at Wang Li in unison.

This boy is so lucky. Almost everyone has this idea.

This offensive tactic is completely built around Wang Li, and it can almost be said that Mr. Mourinho is a tactic specially tailored for Wang Li.

In a football game, the defense at the back must be comprehensive, so that the team's defense has no holes, in other words, the defender's players should cover the entire second half, then you need to defend the area, as the name suggests, the zone defense is that A is responsible for area A, B is responsible for area B, and so on.

It's just zone defense, but no team can say it can do zone offense.

After all, the frontcourt is the opponent's territory, even if it is a big attack, it is necessary to ensure that there are defensive players to stay in the backfield, so that the number of troops invested will not be too much, and it is not easy to do a good regional attack.

And Mr. Mourinho's so-called 'zone attack tactics' is to let two or three Chelsea attacking players pay attention to the position change between Wang Li when running, and ensure that their positions are not too far away and not too close, so that every time they attack, Chelsea can cover a large area, and football will be passed around in it, but it is always centered on Wang Li.

As long as the players don't make mistakes in their movements, then Wang Li will have a lot of options when dribbling the ball, making Chelsea's attack more diverse and maximizing Wang Li's role in attack.

Of course, this kind of attack sounds very bluffing, but in fact there is nothing surprising, if Wang Li plays a mistake, such as being cut off, etc., then Chelsea's attack is a complete failure, and it is very difficult to get back, obviously, in this kind of attack, Wang Li's role is quite large.

However, even if there are many holes, this tactic minimizes the restriction of the opposing defenders on Wang Li, which is the most important thing, and this is the purpose of Mr. Mourinho's painstaking efforts to create this tactic.

In the attack, if there are 2 or 3 players running to keep up with the rhythm and keep a certain distance from Wang Li's position, then Wang Li's options have increased a lot, and the players can also choose to pass the ball back when the attack is blocked, according to Mr. Mourinho's long-term observation, he found that even if these passes are a little off, this black-haired boy can always receive the ball in a strange way, if this premise is true, in this way, the probability of Chelsea conceding the ball becomes very small.

In the eyes of the Portuguese, the brunette in the team is not only a skilled player, but also almost an iron man, because he never gets injured, such as in the last game against Manchester United. Nistrooy was fouled badly, but the Dutchman was hospitalized and has not yet recovered.

Therefore, if this set of tactics is really successful, then it will become more difficult for the opponent to limit his play, as long as Wang Li plays the game, there are no more restrictions, he can score 3 or more goals himself, how can the opponent win? - Chelsea's defensive prowess is not a show!!

Thinking of this, Mourinho was a little happy, in his mind, this set of tactics as Chelsea's secret weapon, and when playing against Arsenal, with Wang Li's own play, he can score three or more of them, and in the final result of n:0, which team in London can compete with Chelsea!?

Thinking about the look on the face of the annoying Frenchman after this kind of game, Mourinho's heart was refreshed.

I have to say that Mourinho, who usually has a solemn face, also has some bad tastes in his heart, such as his rival Mr. Arsene Wenger, he always does everything to embarrass him, maybe this is also a hobby.

……… For this set of tactics, many players still have a lot of complaints in their hearts.

But the head coach arranged tactical training, so even if they don't want to, they have to train hard, not to mention, Wang Li's interpersonal relationship in the team is not bad, even if he doesn't talk about this, no one dares to question his strength - because Wang Li has scored more goals than the rest of the team combined!

"Damien, you go a little further to the right, watch your runs, don't waste time with the defenders!!"

"Frank, when you plug in, pay attention to your position, don't run blindly forward, you won't be able to catch the ball!!"

"Alan, be careful not to dribble the ball too much, so your passing route will most likely be blocked!!"

…… In the new tactical training, Mr. Mourinho personally supervised it, so the Chelsea Football Club's first-team training ground, the constant shouting and reprimanding of the voice, made the Chelsea players full of helplessness - they found for the first time that the training supervised by the manager himself was the most terrifying.

Because Mr Mourinho wanted to try the results of the new tactic in the game on the 17th, the Chelsea players have been adapting to this attacking style for the next two days, but this tactic is easy to say, but the difficulty is in the running positions of the players around Wang Li.

Wang Li's speed is undoubted, even if he wants to keep up with his dribbling speed, he has to keep running, which is hard for Frank. Frank Lampard, Altyn. Robben, Damien. Duff, Joe. Cole and others, in the Chelsea team, it is obvious that they are the most suitable tactical candidates, so every training session is tired and tired.

Wang Li is also a little embarrassed about this, as the main figure in tactics, his job is the easiest.

In this case, after the afternoon training the next day, Wang Li invited everyone in the team to a big dinner for the first time, which alleviated the resentment of his teammates.

……………… On the afternoon of 16 November, Chelsea flew to the Russian capital of Moscow on a private Boeing 747 in Mr Abu's private Boeing 747, where they will take on CSKA Moscow at the Lokomotiv Moscow Stadium tomorrow in the fourth round of the Group H group stage of the Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that yesterday UEFA intervened in an investigation, and it was reported that Mr. Abramovich may have taken control of the Central Army.

In March, Russia's Siberian Oil Company, of which Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is the largest shareholder, signed a three-year, £30 million ($54 million) sponsorship deal with CSKA on a three-year sponsorship contract, and the front of the CSKA shirt is the Sibneft logo.

It was also reported that when CSKA eliminated Rangers in the third qualifying round, Abu, who was on the scene, even ran into the team's dressing room to celebrate with the players and coaches.

Therefore, UEFA's investigation is to find evidence that Mr. Abramovich controls CSKA FC, and if there is evidence that Mr. Abou does control CSKA FC, then one of the two teams must automatically withdraw from the Champions League.

But at least, UEFA hasn't been able to find any evidence yet, which means that the game is still going on as normal.

Now, many foreign media have sourly called CSKA Moscow the 'little brother' of Chelsea, and the 'little brother' will never win the boss regardless of home or away games. For these foreign media, they don't care about the quality of Chelsea this season, as long as there is doubt, then they will be ironic without hesitation.

However, it is clear that this will not affect the normal play of the Chelsea team, and in terms of the media, at least the English media are in favor of Chelsea.

……… After arriving in Moscow, the head coach Mr. Mourinho immediately instructed the players to get dressed and go back to the hotel, put away their luggage and go straight to the stadium for acclimatization training.

The weather in Moscow is very different from that in London, and the ground has been covered with heavy snow in December, and if you don't take precautions, the players are prone to colds and other situations under the sudden change of environment, which is what Mr. Mourinho is most worried about.

After doing all this, Mourinho was interviewed by the team of reporters and foreign correspondents.

In the words of the interview, Mourinho revealed that Duff could move closer to the middle of the pitch when talking about tomorrow's game, and on the one hand he might reconsider Joe? Cole's possible cooperation with the former, on the other hand, is also a necessary preparation for the team's 433 formation to be more reasonable and defensive.

Of course, these words are completely smokescreens released by Mr. Mourinho, Duff wants to move closer to the middle, and the more important reason is that Mourinho wants to use this game to practice new tactics, and he does not attach much importance to the victory or defeat of this game, in Group H, Chelsea has accumulated 9 points, this result is almost guaranteed to qualify, besides, even if it is an away game, he does not think that CSKA Moscow can cause any trouble to Chelsea.

In fact, in the second day's game, although CSKA Moscow was solid at the Lokomotiv Stadium, they did a good job in attack and defense, but even if Chelsea did not play very well overall, when the game entered the 28th minute of the first half, the starter Eduar. Gudjanssen also took advantage of a through ball from Wang Li to open the scoring for Chelsea.

This attack also really made the players of CSKA Moscow feel the gap between the two teams.

Before the game, many of the players were a little upset at the reports in the foreign media, in fact, they thought there was no inside story between CSKA Moscow and Chelsea, at least they didn't receive any strange requests from the players.

However, even if they wanted to win the game, the team is still behind.

Then, in the 43rd minute of the first half, a CSKA Moscow defender fouled the edge of the penalty area and Chelsea were awarded a well-placed free-kick.

The penalty taker this time is still Wang Li, who has undoubtedly replaced Frank Lampard as Chelsea's first-choice free-kick taker in recent games.

And Wang Li is really efficient, until now, his free-kick has only been missed once against Everton - of course, he has not been able to play a few times.

The position of the ball was quite good, and Wang Li did not live up to the expectations of the whole team, in the expectation of his teammates and the desperate eyes of the opposing players, he cast a wonderful arc and hoisted the football directly into the corner of the goal.

“gooooooooooooooooal!!” The commentator of the British BBC TV station shouted.

"Allen's Dream Curves, following David. After Beckham, England has another excellent free-kick player, this kick is so beautiful, now many England fans think that Wang Li's free kick is more accurate than David's, if there is a chance, I really want to see who is better between the two. ”

After the end of the first half, in the visiting dressing room, Mr Mourinho began to lay out the tactics for the second half, and it was clear that with two goals in hand, he was going to let the team practice the new tactics.

In this game, CSKA Moscow sent a defender to mark Wang Li all over the field, but in the first half, the role of this player was not reflected at all, so head coach Gazaev directly changed a defensive player this time, and asked another defensive player to pay attention to the defense, in his opinion, this can at least restrain the play of this black-haired boy and prevent the game from losing too badly.

But apparently, his idea was directly ruined by Mourinho's new tactics.

Since the start of the second half, Chelsea have started to attack with new tactics, at the beginning, the players are a little uncomfortable, which caused frequent mistakes in the front, making Chelsea's attack seem to be a mess, even the commentator on the scene said: "These friends in London seem to be out of shape, since the start of the second half, they have made frequent mistakes, even the brunette boy, it's really strange, maybe it's not adapted?" However, our chance has come. Look, it's another chance for the Red Army! ”

Unfortunately, Chelsea's defence was solid, and CSKA Moscow struggled to break through Chelsea's triangle defence even if they found an opportunity.

After 10 minutes of adaptation, the attacking players slowly returned to the form they had been in training, and the zone attack tactics were slowly showing their effectiveness. At this time, the two defenders who specialized in guarding Wang Li found that their defensive effect was getting worse and worse, because the black-haired kid could not only choose to break through with the ball, but also choose to easily cooperate with his teammates and leave them behind directly.

At first, they thought it was just a defensive mistake, but gradually, they found that the defensive role of the two was getting smaller and smaller, and sometimes they couldn't even hinder the brunette kid's attack at all, which made CSKA Moscow seem to be in 9vs11, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

Finally, in the 75th minute of the game, taking advantage of a good chance to pass the ball, Altyn . Robben stabbed the ball to Wang Li at the edge of the penalty area, who blasted the ball directly into the opponent's goal in a fast run, rewriting the score to 0:3.

Just three minutes later, CSKA Moscow's attack was cut off. Frank Lampard made three short passes and then slotted a shot into the box for Gudjanssen, whose shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Kerr scored from the top of the line to make it 0:4.

Seeing this, Jose in the Chelsea dugout. Mr. Mourinho nodded with satisfaction, and then walked to the sidelines and raised his hand to signal to change tactics, and the reporters present were a little dazed by Mourinho's gesture, and it was indeed a bit bizarre to suddenly change tactics when they had an advantage.

However, how could they possibly know that Mourinho wanted to officially use this tactic for the first time against Arsenal, and if the opponent learned about it so early and then found a way to crack it, then Chelsea's training was not in vain.
