Chapter 227: The Boss's Ah Q Spirit
Watching the video of the game, and the direct confrontation on the green field, the feeling is completely different.
The current defenders of Paris Saint-Germain are well aware of it, especially Mbami, who just grabbed the ball closely.
When Chelsea took the lead by one goal, the players of Paris Saint-Germain were a little overwhelmed, seeing Chelsea's strong attacking ability, especially after the speed of the opponent's No. 21 black haired boy with the ball and his powerful volley, many players wanted to stabilize the team's defense first.
Some of the front-court players were a little unconvinced, and they felt that it was just bad luck to be led by Chelsea by one goal.
Just now, Paris Saint-Germain's attack played very fluidly, suppressing the opponent for a full 10 minutes, which made the attacking players full of confidence, especially the striker Coriton, who created a threatening shot, and after the restart, he stood directly near the Chelsea half-time penalty area, waiting for his teammates to create opportunities.
However, this wait is doomed to be fruitless.
After the resumption of the game, these two very different ideas made the midfield of Paris Saint-Germain somewhat disjointed, and combined with the strength of Chelsea's strong midfield, Chelsea completely controlled the tempo of the game.
At this time, the head coach on the sidelines, Halilozic is also unsettled, in fact, Halilozic was very good as a player, and he also hung up his boots and retired at Paris Saint-Germain, so he is still full of affection for this team, and when he took the coach, he has always expected to lead this team to create glory again.
At this time, Mourinho looked at Halilozic on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain opposite, and felt a little disdainful.
For a manager, the most taboo thing is not to make up his mind, if the team is even hesitant to make up his mind, how can the players on the field play!?
At this time, the tempo of the game has been completely controlled by the Chelsea team, 'controlling the tempo of the game is more important than scoring goals', yes, many teams seek to use tactics to control the tempo in their own hands, such as the 'old lady' Juventus, Barcelona team known for their gorgeous footwork and attack, is one of the best.
In this kind of rhythm control, if the players on the field suddenly change the rhythm, so that the attack speed up or slows down, it will make it difficult for the opposing players to adapt, and if the opponent's formation is not adjusted well, it will become their own goal opportunity.
On the pitch at this time, although Chelsea are not good at this style of play, many players know it very well. Under Frank Lampard's command, the Chelsea team suddenly picked up the pace of attack, and the ball that was slowly passing around near the halfway line suddenly became faster, and four consecutive one-foot passes directly penetrated the Paris Saint-Germain backfield defence.
In the opponent's panic, Wang Li was on the right side of the big penalty area, a straight plug with a sudden surname, and passed the ball to the big penalty area. Gudjanssen shook off the defender and fired straight at the goal - the football flew off the right post and the Paris-Saint-German fans in the audience were in a cold sweat!
At this point, Paris Saint-Saint-Sons manager Halilozic knew he had to make a decision and it was only a matter of time before Chelsea scored if it continued in this format.
Now, if you still let the team attack aggressively, it is difficult to break through Chelsea's solid defense, although Halilozic has just been enthusiastic, want to take advantage of Chelsea's not yet stable position, the first to score, but he is by no means a fool, as a coach of a French team, in the coaching industry is also a successful person, he can't watch the team in trouble, but still hesitant.
On the bench at Paris Saint-Germain, Halilozic closed his eyes tightly, clasped his hands, and when he opened his eyes again, his face was still a little hesitant, but he still walked to the side of the court and waved his hand twice in his direction.
The Paris Saint-Germain players on the pitch understood the meaning of this gesture - give up the attack and shrink the defense!!
At the Parc des Princes, and when they were one goal behind, making such a tactical change was definitely a loss of face in front of all the fans, which required a lot of determination, and even the always conceited Mourinho had to admire Halilozc's decision, but the Portuguese knew that it was the best option, and according to the current situation on the field, it was only a matter of time before Paris Saint-Germain conceded a goal.
After making tactical adjustments, the attacking players of Paris Saint-Germain also immediately returned to their own half to participate in the defense, and the Chelsea team's attack was obviously not as smooth as just now, at this time, Chelsea occupied the absolute initiative on the field, and the players almost surrounded the Paris Saint-Germain half, and the football has been flying around the big penalty area, which made the voices of the Parisian fans in the stands much quieter.
Yes, they are ashamed, you know, this is at the Parc des Princes!
After this kind of scene lasted for a while, the fans in the audience began to be dissatisfied, they needed the Paris 'Dream Magic team', not a turtle team, this tactic of Halilozic has abandoned the style of Paris Saint-Germain, which is definitely a huge shame!
Gradually, the 'boo' in the stands became louder again, but this time everyone knew that this 'boo' was completely given to the head coach Halilozic, but this could not change Halilozc's mind, he still decided to block the victory in the second half, as long as the team held on to the remaining ten minutes, and fell behind by one goal, there was still hope of victory in the second half.
However, with Chelsea's attack, it is not easy to hold on to a point.
In the 41st minute of the game, Joe. Kerr broke down the left flank, and when he reached the baseline, he changed direction at a wide angle to shake off the defenders who were following him, and took advantage of the created gap to directly launch a high cross.
This time, Brigi, who came up with the assist, grabbed a good point, and the header was crossed, and goalkeeper Letiz dragged the ball off the crossbar with one hand in a panic.
Joe. Cole walked to the corner flagpole to take a corner, and at this time, there was chaos in the Paris Saint-German penalty area, and Wang Li was also standing in the crowd, waiting for a good opportunity. Joe. Cole's curling ball was very accurate, and he hoisted it straight into the six-yard box, and in this panicked crowding, Bridget, Lampard and the opposing defenders Yebis and Pier Van Fan jumped up at the same time, and fell directly to the ground in the crowded situation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Li took a slight step and kicked the ball to Duff on the line of the penalty area, Duff did not stop the ball, and when the opponent did not come up and clamped the defense, he threw it to Gudjanssen next to him, who took advantage of the opportunity of no one to defend and hung the ball into the corner of the goal.
“goal! goal! Edul ......... Goodjanssen!! The Icelandic striker added another goal for Chelsea and we take a look at the slow-motion replay,...... Oh my God, it's Allen again, he kicked the ball to Duff accurately in the chaos, and Duff handed it to Eduer, look, Eduer was very calm, he kicked the ball into the corner, and the opposing goalkeeper couldn't do anything at all! ”
On Sky TV, there was another roar from Graham, who had 'betrayed' Wolverhampton and turned into a Chelsea team with the transfer of Wang Li this season, and was really not a staunch fan of England.
However, this does not affect the recognition of his excellent commentary with the fans: "...... This year's Chelsea forward line is too strong, dance master Allen, Ivorian monster Drogba, plus Robben, Joe Jr. Kerr and Gudjanssen, even if Mutu is expelled from the team, it seems to have no effect on Chelsea's attacking strength! ”
Gudjanssen was very excited after the goal, it was his first goal of the season, and it was absolutely crucial, since Wang Li and Drogba arrived at Chelsea, Mourinho and Joe Didier Gudjanssen was very excited, it was his first goal of the season, and it was absolutely crucial. With Cole in the mainstay, he rarely got a chance to play, and this time, taking advantage of Drogba's rotation, he finally proved his quality with a goal.
In fact, Gudjanssen's strength is indeed undoubted, and Mourinho also knows in his heart that the Iceland international is definitely trustworthy, but it is really Wang Li and Drogba who are too good to perform, so there is no chance for him to play, and this is the case on the field, and the reason why many famous stars are shuttling back and forth between various giants is this reason.
For the big teams, what is missing is not the quality of the players, but the players who play the best and best suit the style of the team!
……… With the referee's whistle, the first half came to an end, with a two-point advantage in the first half, which greatly exceeded Mourinho's expectations. So, he's in a very good mood right now, with two goals in hand, even if it's not at Stamford Bridge, he is confident enough to win, and besides, Mourinho doesn't think that the white-haired coach on the other side can outperform him tactically, it's not arrogance, it's confidence!
This is the confidence that belongs to the 'madman' Mourinho!!
In this case, there was laughter in the away team's dressing room, the manager put on a smiling face, how could the players suppress their mood, the protagonist of this braggart talk was of course Brigitte, in an inquiry, Wang Li did not help Brigitte keep it a secret, so that now the whole team knows his love story.
England Playboy Goes After Romantic Love!?
Is there anything more gossip than that?
…… However, the atmosphere in the home team's dressing room at the Parc des Princes was very depressing.
Halilozic kept a calm face, staring at each player's face for a long time before gradually suppressing his anger, he knew very well that now was not the time to lose his temper, and even he understood that the goal conceded in the first half had a lot to do with his tactics, and if he insisted on confronting Chelsea head-on, it was possible for the team to take the lead now.
However, as a head coach, Halilozic has maintained his majesty and will not take the initiative to admit his mistakes.
My tactics were correct, but you didn't execute them well. The Bosnian constantly comforted himself with such words.
Perhaps, Halilozic can read the works of Lu Xun, a famous writer from the ancient Oriental country, whose thoughts are very much in line with the ideological style of the protagonist of a book called "The True Story of Ah Q......
