Chapter 941: A step ahead, a move to win in chess
Everyone knows that Mourinho's team has always been good at playing defensive counterattacks, so today's game started like this, in fact, everyone knows it, but we can't help but admire Chelsea's tight defensive system, Real Madrid was stunned for more than 20 minutes, but nothing was found.
The key Chelsea defense is not just a matter of the backline, but the whole team defends together, including Oscar, Willian, Hazard have all retreated to their own half to assist in the defense, especially Oscar, who looks like a back at all.
It is precisely because of such a defensive system that it can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Real Madrid, and it is not without teams in today's football world that dare to play against Real Madrid, but they all lose in the end, so sometimes the team still has to recognize the reality.
Otherwise, do you think that Real Madrid is composed of Lin Yu, Cristiano. The attack line formed by Ronaldo and Bale is vegetarian?
This season, these three people have scored a total of 120 goals in the league, and Lin Yu alone has scored more than 50, such a crazy attack power can be called the first in Europe.
In the Champions League, they have scored forty-one goals so far, and Lin Yu has scored twenty-three alone, which is a number of goals that many teams can't do in the league.
Not to mention the Copa del Rey, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, if you count them again, the attacking line of these three people will definitely paralyze many teams with fright.
Messi created the myth of 91 goals scored in a single year, and thus entered the Guinness World Record, surpassing the former German striker Gerd Müller.
But this number of goals. It has long been completely broken by Lin Yu, and the Guinness of the World has also written Lin Yu's name into their honor book.
Such a frantic line of attack. With such a crazy Lin Yu, Chelsea's defense can actually prevent them from killing for more than 20 minutes. This is how powerful it is to form its defense.
……
Zidane began to be a little nervous, this may be where he is not mature enough as a head coach, the attack line with Lin Yu as the core was actually prevented by the opponent for more than 20 minutes, which is unthinkable in his opinion, so he is a little anxious now.
In fact, this kind of anxiety is not necessary, not every game can be locked up as early as the fish belly team, in the games that Lin Yu participated, more games were locked in the second half, and even many games were won until stoppage time. So he can be calm.
But it's not to blame him, he has no experience, that's it.
He should be able to see that this is a duel between masters, a fight between a strong offensive line and a strong defensive line, and now this situation is the most normal, if he has more experience, he can rest assured that such an offensive and defensive battle. In the end, as long as the attacker does not have a hot brain and does not make defensive mistakes, then sooner or later it will be able to open the defensive line. Especially since there is a terrifying Lin Yu on their side, what are you worried about? There's no need to worry about it.
The Chelsea players are still fitting, if they force a breakthrough. The physical strength consumed was too great, so Lin Yu hadn't fully exerted his strength. He's now taking a attrition strategy, trying to see if he can use more effortless passes and long-range shots to penetrate the opposition's goal. He thinks it's wisest to do so.
Isn't there often such a thing in novels and movies, Party A and Party B fight, Party A's strength is much stronger than Party B, and then there is a fierce attack, and finally Party B is powerless, and can only be forced to defend, as if it is completely at a disadvantage.
Then at this time, if Party A thinks that he has an advantage and can kill the other party, he uses a move to expose his flaws, then he will be miserable, although Party B is at a disadvantage, but it does not reveal its flaws, and it can take this opportunity to take Party A's life with one move.
On the contrary, if Party A is cautious and continues to consume Party B without exposing its own weaknesses, then in the end, it will definitely be him who wins, because his strength is stronger than Party B.
Now Real Madrid is Party A, Chelsea is Party B, Chelsea is at a disadvantage, and then completely on the defensive, but he still has a lot of strength, and has not yet exposed any flaws, and now if he wants to attack hard, it is really unwise.
Football matches are about goals, not shots, not possession, if you compare possession, then there is no doubt that Barcelona and Bayern Munich can win directly, and compared to the number of shots, there is no doubt that Real Madrid is the first in the world.
But this is not realistic, in reality it is the number of goals.
It doesn't matter if you have 50 shots in a game or you have more than 90 per cent possession, they may only have one shot on goal and they may only have 10 per cent possession, but if you can score, it's the opponent who wins.
In fact, such examples have been most evident in Jose Mourinho's side, who have often won from behind in possession.
Therefore, in the face of such an opponent, we must be more cautious and cautious, and we must not be impatient, otherwise there will definitely be problems.
But Zidane now has a problem with his mentality, after all, it is the first time to coach the Champions League final, and he always feels that he has to score first to ensure victory, after all, Real Madrid relies on attack.
At this point, he plans to push the team up, make the three players on the attacking line show a little more aggressive, try to get the first goal, and then he can take his time.
Young coaches are often prone to make such mistakes, although Zidane is actually not young, but the problem is that he is only in his first season as a coach, it is very normal to make this kind of mistake, and the most terrible thing is that most of Real Madrid's games this season are crushing wins, which makes Zidane have a delusion, as if Real Madrid can't score early, it's a bad performance, it's just can't win.
……
At this time, Lin Yu and Zidane's ideas were different, and Zidane wanted to make a fierce attack and completely crush the opponent. This is a somewhat risky strategy, because once you can't defeat your opponent. You may be counterattacked by your opponent.
Chelsea haven't been completely out of the cracks, for some time. They also had several good opportunities to counterattack in a row, and if it weren't for Real Madrid's cautious attack and excellent defense, I am afraid they would have been scored.
Lin Yu thought more intelligently, he planned to constantly consume the opponent, constantly impact the opponent, let the opponent consume a lot of physical strength, and gradually lose his spirit, and then stab again at a critical time. It's all about the goal.
Actually, this is very simple to say, don't you like to defend, then I will specifically look for you to let go of the weak place and keep playing.
This is like the example given before, if the opponent cultivates the kung fu of the Golden Bell Hood Iron Cloth Shirt, then you can't force it, if you want to score a goal, you must find his weakness, and then break his Golden Bell Hood Iron Cloth Shirt, this is the right way.
Any strong defense. Any outside effort, it has a valve and a weakness, otherwise Chelsea would not have lost to a team like Aston Villa in the league. This shows that they still have weaknesses, and they are not completely monolithic.
Lin Yu has always used his brain to play football, but his skills are too good. Therefore, there are often many people who ignore his biggest advantage, the original title of Linghu. That's not for nothing, on the pitch. He's a cunning fox.
……
Lin Yu wanted to consume the opponent, but Zidane had a serious difference with his ideas, although he was the vice-captain, but he couldn't go against Zidane during the game, so he could only play according to Zidane's arrangement.
He tried his best to give full play to his advantages in breaking through and shooting, and constantly impacted Chelsea's goal, but this Chelsea defensive line really has the characteristics of Huang Jiguang, a fighting hero, and all of them are eye-catching experts.
For those who have watched Chelsea's games, it is not difficult to understand that the players in the Chelsea defence have a deep knack for blocking eye-catching.
Coupled with their familiarity with Lin Yu and knowing Lin Yu's shooting habits and breakthrough habits, it is difficult to change, so they can grasp the key points more defensively than the defenders of other teams.
So, then Real Madrid tragedy.
More than 20 minutes after the first half, according to Zidane's instructions, Real Madrid continued to attack, Chelsea's defense looked very messy, and several defenders always had to fall to the ground to block the eyes with their bodies, as if they couldn't hold on.
But in this case, they relied on a simple defensive counterattack to score.
The goal was scored by Romelu Lukaku, who had returned to Chelsea and became the main striker, while it was Luiz who passed the ball.
Luiz only used a long ball, and then Lukaku forced a way off Ramos, who was pestering him, in front of him, and it was a one-on-one chance.
Because Real Madrid's squad is too high, past Ramos is equivalent to passing everyone, and Lukaku only needs to face goalkeeper Casillas.
Then, in front of the whole stadium, the whole world, Lukaku calmly slotted the ball into the Real Madrid goal.
The score changes, the deadlock is broken!
Chelsea 1-0 Real Madrid.
After this goal was scored, Real Madrid once wanted to equalize, but in the face of Chelsea's defense, after all, there was nothing to be done, after the end of the first half, the score was temporarily locked at 1:0, and Real Madrid, which was obviously dominant, fell behind in the score.
A lot of people don't want to believe it, but it's the truth.
"People tend to have high expectations for the final, but the final is often not open enough. But today is different, Real Madrid played very aggressively, very open, but unfortunately it was they who conceded the goal in the end, which is really emotional! ”
"It's unbelievable, Real Madrid are behind, last season's Champions League semi-finals, they eliminated Chelsea very hard, but it's definitely not like today, what is going on, is it really as the English media say, it's a matter of coaching?"
"Chelsea did a good job, they killed Lin Yu, they killed Real Madrid's attacking line, and not only that, they scored a goal at the end of the first half, is the story of Inter Milan's final beating Bayern Munich to win the title again? Today's scene is too similar to the Champions League final in 2010, and Mourinho was also in charge of Inter Milan at that time. ”
'Chelsea played so ugly, they literally put a bus in front of their own goal, which completely killed the spectacle of the game, I don't like that kind of team!'
"Football is a contest of intelligence and body, you can't say that the attack is good-looking, the defense is not good-looking, I think this kind of game is very good, isn't he Real Madrid very good? Haven't you been toyed with yet? ”
'The Chelsea players did a fantastic job, the defence and the counter-attack fit perfectly, this is the highest level of counter-attack, continue to work hard in the second half, try to beat the unbeatable Real Madrid, and win back another Champions League for our Premier League, the Premier League depends on you, Chelsea boys!'
When discussing the first half of the game, England's commentary and Spain's commentary were two completely different tones.
England's commentators believe that the game is a battle of wits and courage, a combination of intelligence and body, and if you lose, you don't do it.
On the contrary, the Spanish commentators felt that Chelsea played too utilitarian and conservative, which was simply anti-football! (To be continued......)
