Chapter 942: Chelsea's three-board axe

The attitude of the two sides of the commentary, in fact, has also changed, don't look at the commentators on the Spanish side, saying that Chelsea is too utilitarian and ugly, but if Real Madrid plays like this, they will not say so, in the final analysis, football is a competitive sport, not an art, he wants results, not just ornamentation.

The winner is king, the loser is the villain, it's that simple.

In fact, in the past games, some people complained that Barcelona's game was too backward and could make people fall asleep, but if their team played like that and could win, they wouldn't say that.

People are always realistic, and that must be remembered.

In the final analysis, what suits you is the best, if your team is good defensively, then play defensive counterattack, if your team's attack is strong enough, then play offensive football, when your team's strength is not as good as the opponent, you should lower your profile, don't care if the drift is not beautiful, win the game first, if you just blindly pursue the so-called beautiful football, it is likely to be very tragic.

……

At half-time, Mourinho made a rare attempt not to leave the pitch first, standing in the tunnel and shaking hands and hugging his players one by one to express his appreciation.

Of course he was happy, throughout the first half, Real Madrid dominated but failed to score, but was scored a goal by their counter-attack, who would be happy if he was replaced.

Next, they can stick to their counter-attacking strategy even more, and even abandon the attack altogether to focus on defense, because it will be Real Madrid who are in a hurry.

Dominate but can't score. This can make the players start to get upset and start to get anxious. So the more it drags on, the better it is for them.

And Zinedine Zidane as the head coach. Conceding a goal due to a mistake in command is likely to lead to self-blame and fear not to command in the second half, in which case the situation will be more favourable for Chelsea.

Of course, Mourinho does not dare to say that the title is in his hands yet, because there is one person in the Real Madrid team who has always made him feel uneasy.

That's right, it's Lin Yu.

He has coached Lin Yu, so he is very aware of the characteristics of this player. No matter what the game is, this guy will not lose his cool, and unless he is sent off for no reason, he can always maintain a heart like a cold-blooded killer.

And the more Lin Yu came to the end of the game, the stronger he became, and he had to be careful about this.

"Good job, boys! In the second half, we have to make persistent efforts, so let's take time to rest in these 15 minutes. "As soon as he walked into the dressing room with the players, Mourinho clapped his hands. Said to his players.

"Real Madrid isn't that scary, is it? Tired is tired, but as long as you identify the goal, fight to the last drop of sweat and the last drop of blood. If you want to win it, you will win. Their players will certainly get restless in the second half, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian. Whoever of you is, take your chances and score another goal. Seal the win. ”

"What about Lin Yu? He's not going to go crazy in the second half, is he? Hazard said worriedly.

"Lin Yu is indeed terrifying, but you have also seen it. You can still prevent him from scoring if you want to. Of course, no one can stop that kid from really soaring, which is why I want you to seize the opportunity to score another goal, that kid is an unknown, if it weren't for him, I would even dare to say that this game would have been 100% won! ”

"Don't worry, boss, we'll work hard." Luis gritted his teeth, he didn't have much strength to defend Lin Yu today, and now he really feels like the whole person is going to collapse, but because of the assist Lukaku scored a goal, his fighting spirit is very high.

"Well, that's it! Don't care what the final result is, just try your last bit of strength! ”

……

At the same time, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Zidane was somewhat silent, and he still does not seem to realize what the problem is.

At this time, Lin Yu stood up and said: "BOSS, the first half is our responsibility, you can tell me how to play in the second half, we listen to you, now it's just a goal behind, what are you afraid of?" In the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona was reversed after falling behind by two goals! ”

Originally, Lin Yu planned to suggest to Zidane to modify his tactics, but when he saw the atmosphere in the locker room, he changed his original plan, the head coach can't lose confidence, if the head coach collapses, then this team will really be finished.

"Yes, BOSS, the first half was our responsibility, we couldn't break the opponent's goal, we conceded the goal, and it would be unreasonable to blame you for that." Casillas was the first to understand Lin Yu's intentions, so he also stood up and said, "Do you think that's the case?" ”

"That's right, boss, you give instructions, we will definitely pull it back in the second half!"

Looking at these lovely players, Zidane's originally slightly flustered heart finally calmed down, the players believed in themselves so much, how could they fall first?

He analysed the situation in the first half and then identified the problems with his own tactics, which he spent ten minutes off for the Real Madrid players to work on on their own tactics on paper.

Ten minutes later, he stood up and said: "According to the data, Chelsea has a characteristic of this team, when they are frequently suppressed by the opponent, it is not easy to concede the ball, because everyone in the back line is very focused, but if they don't have so much defensive pressure, they will often make some low-level mistakes, according to this, I decided that the attacking strategy in the second half will remain the same, just to give up the positional battle, change to a fast offensive and defensive battle, kick the speed, let their defensive holes be exposed as soon as possible, can it be done?" ”

"Don't worry, boss, just leave it to us, I'm the best at mobilizing opponents."

In fact, Zidane's tactical thinking in the second half was very simple and very direct, that is, a high ball cross from the side and a through ball in the middle. Absolutely do not fight positional warfare, that is, it is necessary to attack quickly. It's so fast that the other party can't breathe.

He has a lot of treasures in his hands, Lin Yu's speed, headers, and long-range shots. Almost all of them are lethal weapons, and Bell and Cristiano. Ronaldo's two quick wings were also able to keep Chelsea tired.

The mistake they made in the first half was that they were too entangled in positional battles, often the ball slowed down after hitting the opponent's penalty area, and then fell backwards, and there was no way to make the Chelsea team's defensive formation chaotic, Lin Yu couldn't play even if he was fast, because of this kind of short pass. It's easy for the opponent to intercept it halfway.

……

After the coaches of both sides arranged the tactics, the second half almost began, and the two sides changed sides to fight again and continue to fight for the Champions League title.

After the resumption of the second half, Chelsea's tactics remained unchanged, with them barely going through midfield, and as long as they got the ball at the back, they went straight to Lukaku in front.

Lukaku's height and strength make it difficult for Real Madrid's backline to defend. So basically as long as the ball is at Lukaku's feet, it can be a threat, and with Hazard and Willian from the sidelines, the threat is even greater.

It seems that Lukaku has lost his original frizziness and weakness in recent years. became stronger, this should also be stimulated by Lin Yu, he always wants to replace Lin Yu to become Chelsea's real No. 1 center. It's still a long way off, but it's a goal.

As for Real Madrid's side. It was completely different from the first half, and the midfield was no longer sticky to the ball. It's basically a one-kick ball to make sure the ball is always moving fast.

Crossing back and forth on the flanks and down the middle, the ball always hit the front of the pitch at breakneck speed, and then started shooting when the Chelsea defence wasn't quite in place.

High ball crosses from the side were once considered the most inefficient and unskilled way to pass, but it still depends on whether there is someone who can respond in the middle.

Real Madrid have Lin Yu in the presence of Lin Yu, and almost every cross from the wing, it can be a great threat.

Petr Cech made three brilliant world-class saves in just five or six minutes of the second half, and without him, the score would have been rewritten.

Mourinho saw this, knew that Real Madrid were finally starting to exert their strength, and as if they had found a way to deal with them, he couldn't sit still a little and walked to the sidelines and kept shouting to get the players in the backline to pay attention to the defense.

"Oh oh oh, it seems to have become fun, after the break, Real Madrid completely changed their previous tactics, and now it's a fast attack, but I don't know how long their stamina can last!"

"As long as Lin Yu doesn't fall, then there is hope to score, and I am still sure of this! If you want to say that Real Madrid has more than Chelsea, it is that there is one more Lin Yu, and one Lin Yu can make a qualitative change in a team! ”

When Zidane saw this scene, he also stood up excitedly, and he roared in his heart: "There is a play!" It's really a show! It's just a slight change in tactics, and it's completely different! ”

……

"Single-knife! Real Madrid's single knife! ”

Lin Yu ran quickly and suddenly stuffed the ball straight to Cristiano. Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar's successful anti-offside position, formed a great one-on-one chance.

"Shoot!"

"Oh my God, didn't get in! I didn't get in! The ball was saved by Cech, God Cech, no wonder Courtois has never been able to return to Chelsea, the key is that Cech is still so strong. ”

Single knife did not go in, Cristiano. Ronaldo kicked the ground in frustration and scolded, "What a obscurity." ”

His heart is already a little impetuous, this is a very dangerous signal, if he is under normal circumstances, this single goal should be scored.

Lin Yu patted the Portuguese superstar on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, there are still many opportunities, haven't you noticed, after changing the tactics, our attack is much smoother, this single knife is just one chance, but it is definitely not the only one, stay calm!" ”

"But if this goal is scored, it will be able to equalize, it's a pity." Cristiano. Ronaldo is still a little unrelieved.

"Okay, I'm here, are you still afraid that you won't score the ball? Their defense is now in a mess, firstly, their physical strength is not as good as in the first half, and secondly, whether it is Cahill or Luiz, their speed is not as good as ours, wait and see, I will create opportunities! ”

"You kid can really stay calm at any time, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced!"

"It's not the time for you to be convinced, we haven't scored yet, let's go back to the game, just keep our minds normal, they want us to be anxious now, in fact, in terms of pressure, they are more than us. After all, we were able to threaten their goal again and again, and they didn't get past the half after the start of the second half, you know what that means? ”

"What does that mean?"

"It means they can only wait to die! They had no weapons left, just a tattered shield, and if the shield was completely rotten, they would be useless. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect you kid to see it thoroughly." Cristiano. Ronaldo laughed.

"That's not nonsense, I've played for Chelsea for two seasons before, and I know how they do it, it's basically the three axes, and over the years, although they have done better, there are still no new tricks." (To be continued......)
