Chapter 227: Good idea, goodbye
Two red cards in a row boiled over the entire Highbury Stadium and made the Arsenal players smile, as if victory was already in the bag. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This sentiment is understandable, and the situation is indeed very good.
Because with just a draw, Arsenal can have the last laugh, and there are still 50 minutes left in the game, just one goal, why is it difficult?
It just so happened that in the previous game, their game form has started to recover, and it is time to go on a killing spree!
So You Mo's reminder sounds like a fool's errand, who doesn't know it's early?
It's a pity that there were very few in the first half, and there was a lot of time delayed because of fouls before, and there was no time to organize a few decent offensives, and the whistle blew at halftime, ending the ups and downs of the first half of the game.
in the locker room.
The atmosphere was nice and everyone had a knowing smile on their faces. It's not that you underestimate your opponent and think that the game will definitely be won, but that you feel confident after regaining your form and a sense of accomplishment after successfully playing your opponent.
You Mo didn't have any objection to this, and after coming in, he didn't pretend to be profound, smiled and looked around, until the locker room was quiet, and then slowly spoke.
"To be honest, I didn't expect Nikolai to be so impulsive."
"In fact, you may have felt that the five-minute challenge is really about helping you get back into shape, otherwise it would be difficult to play the kind of penetrating attack that you used to have."
"I used to do this kind of thing when I was in Germany, encouraging a bunch of people to not shoot with their feet on goal, just to find their form."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the locker room remained unchanged, but there was more thinking on their faces.
The answer is so simple!
But this mind, this courage, and this kind of vision, they can't catch up!
There is no doubt that it was You Mo who single-handedly created the situation in front of him, and they just executed it well. If you leave the problem to them to solve, will it have the immediate effect?
In that case, what is there to be happy about?
In the first half of the game, I didn't even play normally, and the score was still behind, so it's time to reflect!
As if seeing what they were thinking, the smile on You Mo's face became more mysterious, and his voice was lowered.
"Do you know why Jose Mourinho took the initiative to apply for a red card?"
Without exception, they all shook their heads.
You Mo didn't sell it, and began to tell the story.
"This match was played under high magnification, and it was no less impactful than the one where our winning streak was terminated."
"In this situation, even if it doesn't seem to be a controversial decision, there is extra pressure. As the referee, if you want to avoid the crowd after the game, you can also think about your future, and you will more or less find some balance in the next game. ā
"Actually, after sending off Anelka, the next decisions will no longer be biased in our favor. However, in Mourinho's opinion, it is still not enough, and it is necessary to continue to put pressure on the referee to tilt the balance of victory to a satisfactory level! ā
"So what happened next, after two red cards in a row, the whole second half was going to be a hand-to-hand battle for us!"
"Are you ready?"
In the silence, no one nodded, but a few shook their heads.
You Mo had no choice but to cheer himself up, nodded, and continued.
"Maybe you think it's incredible, how can anyone take the initiative to receive a red card? As a manager, in such an important game, in such a difficult situation, wouldn't it lead to a collapse? ā
"No, 0.1 percent of the time!"
"Why?"
In the face of a sudden question, everyone's reaction was not to scratch their heads, but to open their eyes wide, their fists clenched, and they looked eager to try.
You Mo didn't ask himself a question, his eyes turned to a very excited guy, and nodded.
As soon as Vieira spoke, his voice was startled.
"That's right, in the case of Nikolai, Mourinho has a lot of responsibility. The two of them left the field together, which is equivalent to handing over the command of the game to the players, which is a kind of compensation! ā
Hearing this, most chose to nod their heads, and a few turned their eyes to the head coach in the hope of getting a better answer.
You Mo didn't rush to brush up on his sense of presence and continued to shift his target.
Lehmann spent most of the game hanging outside the penalty area, watching the six ways and listening to the eight directions, while pondering the psychological confrontation between the two sides.
At this time, he just found the exit, so he said in a deep voice: "Patrick is right, do you remember, after the two red cards appeared in succession, who gathered everyone to speak?" ā
Ashley Cole quickly replied: "Frank Lampard! ā
Lyman clenched his fists and waved vigorously, "That's right, this is the guy who reminded Nikolai during the game, but in the end he didn't get enough support. What happened later proved his point, so he was the leader of Chelsea for the rest of the game! ā
As soon as the words fell, I was surprised.
Even though the schedule was unbearable, everyone knew and cared for their next-door neighbor at an all-time high, and everyone in it was no stranger to them.
After all, they are championship rivals and have to meet in the final round of the season, even if the champion and runner-up have been decided before then, it will not prevent the two teams from facing each other for a long time. In this situation, they usually spend a lot of homework, and their understanding of the dangerous people in the opponent's formation does not stay on the surface.
Frank Lampard is a name that is no stranger to them, but when it comes to putting him in the leadership of the opposition squad, the vast majority disagree.
The reason is that without it, qualifications, worth, data, none of them have an overwhelming advantage, how can we talk about leadership?
As a result, carelessly, they overlooked an important factor.
Wisdom!
Any team leader must have a wise mind to be competent, otherwise no matter how well the ball is played, it is still just a machine and cannot achieve the effect of capturing people's hearts. It's a situation for almost every team, and Chelsea is no exception, so when they take a fresh look at the team, it's not hard to draw conclusions.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and Frank Lampard was the leader of the pitch for everyone, at least throughout the second half!
"Does that mean Mourinho's departure is about erecting a new core?"
Ashley Cole's audacity was quite a bit of Youmo's shadow, and as soon as the words came out, he was even more surprised.
As time was running out, all eyes began to converge in anticipation of the final answer.
You Mo's face was noncommittal, and his tone was flat.
"It's not a big deal, if I did, I'd do the same."
"Think about it, what would happen if they lost this game?"
"What if I win?"
......
What happens if you lose?
There is no doubt that Anelka is the first pot and Mourinho is the second pot. For the players on the field, there is no psychological burden now, and even if they lose, no one will hold them accountable.
Won?
Frank Lampard was a great man to take the lead in the first fight!
It is conceivable what kind of combat effectiveness will burst out under the support of this mentality!
Iron-blooded Blues, fight to fame!
What an honor is this for those who are called "international mercenaries"?
Not to mention the league champions that speak for themselves!
From this point of view, Mourinho is by no means losing his mind, nor is he breaking the jar, but taking the initiative to take responsibility and create favorable conditions for the players on the field in a way that everyone did not expect.
Therefore, You Mo will use "I will do the same if I am the same" to affirm his sworn enemy, and does not mock his opponent with "villain behavior" as others believe, showing himself. It's just a pity that there can't be a guy like Anelka in his team, and there is no possibility of comparison.
In fact, he never simply divides his opponents into "villains" and "gentlemen", and "clear conscience" is his only criterion, which is also applicable to others. Because of this, he will not be restrained like Wenger when facing villains, nor will he have any good feelings for those gentlemanly bigwigs as soon as they meet.
It's all about action!
Knowing Mourinho's good intentions, the incredible morale and resilience of the Chelsea players, coupled with the possible adverse decision in the second half, the Arsenal players were mentally prepared.
Of course, it was also the form that was found in the last moments of the first half that contributed to the game.
So the rest of the game was still the same, and it looked exactly like the last stage of the first half. It's just that although there are many fouls, there are only a handful of yellow cards, let alone two yellows turning into one red, or directly being sent off with a red card.
This kind of large-scale penalty is obviously beneficial to the stubborn Chelsea, and the physical condition of the Arsenal players is generally weaker, and there is no place to reason for the loss, which naturally leads to the attacking effect is not as good as imagined. In addition, the morale of the two sides is almost the same, and in terms of physical strength, the former is more superior, and the tactics are more right, and the state is still excellent.......
Under the influence of many factors, 20 minutes have passed in a flash, and the score is thunderous!
Seeing that there are no substitutions on both sides, the anxious situation is still the same, not to mention the fans, the professionals have already seen the situation that is not optimistic.
'Arsenal's attack has improved a bit, but it's not enough to penetrate the Chelsea defence!'
"Jose Mourinho's team defended so well that it was hard to imagine that they would have such tenacity and perseverance, allowing a league goal total of 82 goals with only 20% possession, and an opponent who scored in 37 rounds and still couldn't break the deadlock after 11 to 10!"
'Yes, after being sent off, Chelsea were more resolute and they were testing their patience with their tenacity!'
"That's right, look at this attack!"
"Wow, knocked to the ground again! Claude Makelele has already been shown a yellow card, will there be a third red card? ā
"Impossible, even if this kind of body collision can give cards, it is impossible to add fuel to the fire in this situation!"
"Sure enough, the referee Webb only gave a verbal warning, and he didn't mean to take out the cards from beginning to end."
"It's a pity, Henry's breakthrough just now was very exciting, once you enter the penalty area, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"Come and see this free-kick."
The free kick position is not bad, about 28 meters from the goal, the left rib, the guy who is confident in the world wave can try his luck.
Obviously no one in the Arsenal squad dared to play a big knife in front of Youmo, and everyone was waiting for the result to see him running up and discussing something with Pire.
Although the faces are tired, the eyes are very full, as if after a long journey, the warmth of home is close at hand.
Their mood is not as excited as the outside world thinks, but the fatigue of the body has accumulated for too long, and now they have reached the stage of the end of the strong crossbow, and they all rely on willpower to maintain the rhythm. Originally, under the leadership of You Mo, they had regained their sense of the game, but unfortunately, the opponent's rough foul made the game fragmented, and as time went on, their physical reserves were running out, and their bodies began to become heavy and their nerves were a little sluggish.
As a result, the imaginary mercury leak became a flash in the pan, and they had no numerical advantage but could not create decent opportunities, so they could only hope for personal ability.
There is another important factor that should not be overlooked.
Rosicky was injured in the last game, Bergkamp also failed a pre-match medical and the team's midfield lacked creativity.
Looking to make up for the impact of the simultaneous absence of two masters, Pire, who has just returned from injury, is not in good shape, Wiltord and Ljungberg are more suitable for supporting roles, and Henry and Jumo are the expected protagonists.
It's a pity that the height of the two determines their way of playing, facing the wall of people moving outside the penalty area, the wall of sighs in the penalty area, they can't create killing opportunities through continuous rapid changes of direction, and can only hope for long-range shots or grabbing points.
Their opponents are well aware of this, and their pre-match preparation makes it difficult for them to surprise their choices, and it is difficult to create chaos in the box, let alone break through with the ball.
In contrast, Henry is okay, and Yumo is more sad. The creativity on which he once relied to make his name was lackluster, and his skill at his feet was not very useful, and he tried three long-range shots, none of which would have scared the Chelsea goalkeeper into a cold sweat.
The reason for this is that physical fatigue is only part of the equation, and the overly heavy thinking further burdens his body, resulting in his limited role in breaking down dense defenses. Especially in the first half, the psychological confrontation that was so complicated that it was a headache was very consuming for energy, but the result was a little unexpected and was not detected in time.
Although there were not so many psychological encounters in the second half, he didn't realize it on the battlefield where the tension was so intense that it was suffocating, and he was still thinking hard about how to open up the situation.
So in such a free-kick opportunity, after he finished his thoughts, he got this advice.
"Maybe you should try not to go on the offensive and only capture the fighters as you did before?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
It's all the fault of the manager's position!
Too strong a sense of responsibility keeps his body under high pressure, where can he still have the wild imagination he used to have?
is a teacher everywhere, how can you stand and watch the play like before?
"If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher."
After sighing, he smiled, waved his hand and said, "Good idea, goodbye!" ā
