515 Rely on godfather
readx;
On April 25, the sky of the Red Rebels Stadium was drizzling, although it was almost May and the weather was hot, but in Ancelotti's heart, he still felt cold. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He stood on the sidelines for 90 minutes, and if you count the half-time and stoppage time, it all adds up to almost two hours, but he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, he didn't even feel that long, and the game seemed to have just begun!
If he had a choice, he would rather be!
If you use the words of the media, this game he changed the various mistakes he made in the last game, the opening pressed a lot, played very actively, the Red Rebels have never been conservative at home, and the same is true of this game, the two sides really worked on the field for 90 minutes, very intense, very cruel!
In terms of staffing, Ancelotti had no choice but to rely on the center-back combination of Cannavaro and Carvalho, but he changed the usual 4321 Christmas tree configuration in the midfield, but played 442, pushing Crespo and Shevchenko to the front, and at the same time letting the faster and more capable Red Rebels veteran Wright? Phillips started in hopes of making up for Chelsea's shortcomings on the right flank.
It was an easy game for both teams in the second leg as they had both played in the FA Cup semi-finals three days earlier, with Chelsea hosting Liverpool and the Red Rebels travelling to Middlesbrough, with both sides fielding substitutes.
Chelsea lost 1-2 at home to Liverpool and the Red Rebels won 0-2 away at Middlesbrough, one losing two in a row and the other winning in a row, so Ancelotti put himself in the role of mourner before the game, hoping that the Red Rebels can become proud.
Villa was injured, Mourinho arranged Ismael to start in the FA Cup, and Ancelotti knew at that time that Drogba would be in the starting line-up, so he specially arranged training for the anti-high ball, and even the defender Emerson was included in the list of anti-high balls.
But as the game progressed, Carlo Ancelotti gradually discovered that his players simply could not afford the impact of the Red Rebels.
Didier Drogba opened the scoring for the Red Rebels in the 28th minute, with the Ivory Coast Elephant King's impact up front being a nightmare for all Premier League defenders, and his superb aerial dominance was a nightmare for Chelsea's centre-backs.
Chelsea were not the slightest bit conservative, but after turning into 442, despite Carlo Ancelotti's decision to press aggressively, the Red Rebels still adhered to the football philosophy they had adhered to for many years, still firmly controlling the midfield, firmly grasping the lifeblood of Chelsea and seizing the loopholes of the Blues.
Mourinho's pre-match setup can be seen.
'Their centre-backs generally have a flaw in defending the ball and that's another problem at the back of the Chelsea defence, so for this game we tried to play high up front and hit them all over their heads, we had enough advantages in the box!'
Jose Mourinho relied on Didier Drogba, the Ivorian has already proven his aerial dominance in the league, and now in the Champions League, he has brought his almost perverted physicality to Europe, and he has always been able to beat Emerson, Carvalho or Cannavaro in almost impossible situations to fight for the first point.
Yes, maybe Carvalho and the others can get stuck in advance with their anticipation and positional sense, but it's okay to do it once and a half, and if the Red Rebels focus on high-altitude strikes throughout the game, then they can't defend against it at all.
Carlo Ancelotti is very, very depressed, and he misses the Brazilian centre-back Alex, who was brought in from Brazil but on loan at PSV Eindhoven during the winter break, and he is very fond of defending the ball, but he also has excellent physical fitness and solid defensive skills, and if he is there, maybe there is no need to worry about Drogba at this time.
Looking back at the inactive Joe Cole, England's talent is indeed good at technique, but his performance is not consistent enough, when he plays well, he will have a world-class performance, but once he performs badly, he will become a complete stumbling block to the team, which makes Chelsea's advance in the front court always limited.
The Red Rebels clearly took advantage of this to completely overwhelm Chelsea in midfield, and at this time, Chelsea's midfield lacked a player who could play alone and had excellent individual ability to help the team open up the situation.
This made Chelsea's attack completely dead end after being limited in midfield, on the other hand, the Red Rebels, directly hit high-altitude strikes, almost one hit one accurately, the two goals in the second half were high-altitude balls, Drogba scored a goal, and there was a ferry to help Kaka score.
After taking a 2-0 lead, the Red Rebels clearly relaxed their attack, and Mourinho began to save his strength for the league four days later, after all, at this point in the game, Chelsea must score three goals in a row, which is undoubtedly impossible.
Carlo Ancelotti wanted to shout at his players on the sidelines, like the obnoxious Portuguese, but in the end he found himself powerless.
For this match, he lost so much that he had nothing to say!
Although Deco scored a face-saving goal for Chelsea with a late long-range shot that found the back of the net for Chelsea, there was no doubt that the Red Rebels beat Chelsea twice in the two legs.
"The Red Rebels showed unrivalled control of the game in those two rounds, they took control and killed the match, we tried, but unfortunately we failed."
'I wouldn't admit that the two legs were a disaster for Chelsea, on the contrary, I think we should see our shortcomings in these two games, with all sorts of deficiencies at the back and up front, and a lack of depth and variety on our bench that has become an obstacle to our final Champions League progression.
Ancelotti looked very calm in the face of the more than 1,000 reporters present at the press conference in the press hall of the Red Rebels Stadium after the game, but he could not hide the disappointment between his eyebrows, and when the reporters asked him to answer whether the two rounds of the match would lead to his dismissal, Ancelotti looked very confident.
'No, I'm definitely not going to leave the class, I don't think Chelsea are doing badly, on the contrary, we reached the last four of the Champions League two years in a row, yes, from another point of view, we have lost the last four for two years in a row, but that's not the end, any team will have a bottleneck.
As for next season's Champions Cup qualification, An Fatzi is full of confidence.
'Being knocked out of the Champions League at this time allows us to focus all our energy on the league, which has been so intense in the Premier League for two seasons, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and even promoted teams like Droysden and West Ham, as well as traditional teams like Tottenham, Blackburn Rovers and Everton.
'It's definitely a great thing for the Premier League as a whole and I have a lot of confidence in my team and the players that we have enough quality to qualify for next season's Champions League!'
Chelsea officials acknowledged Carlo Ancelotti's statement at the press conference, stating that Carlo Ancelotti will continue to be the team's head coach next season, and that he has made a huge difference to Chelsea in the past two seasons, and that he is an excellent manager who has the trust of fans, players and the club's hierarchy.
Abou also expressed his support for Carlo Ancelotti through Kenyon, and he also said that he will make reinforcements next season according to Ancelotti's request and the current situation at Chelsea, including reclaiming Brazilian centre-back Alex from PSV Eindhoven on loan.
The Brazil international has been named in Brazil's squad for the World Cup and will qualify for the Premier League after the World Cup, and he will play for Chelsea next season, with his arrival adding to the Chelsea defence.
In addition, Chelsea will also bring in right wing-backs and attacking midfield positions, with players currently on their radar including Barcelona's Ronaldinho, AC Milan's Palacio, Red Rebels' Franck Ribery, and Lyon's Malouda, but each of these players is worth a lot of money, especially with the World Cup just around the corner.
…………………… While the Red Rebels defeated Chelsea 3-1 on aggregate, AC Milan was eliminated by Barcelona with an aggregate score of 1-0 over two legs, in which both sides failed to score in Barcelona's home match against AC Milan, and Red Rebels veteran Hleb scored the winning goal for Barcelona to help Barcelona reach the final.
The bizarre meeting of the opponents in the two group stage finals has to be said to make the European media lively for a while, especially for the previous grievances between the Red Rebels and Barcelona, and the reporters are eager to dig everything into the ground and promote sales.
The clash of these two teams, who have been hailed as the most spectacular teams in football today, has also made the Champions League final at the Stade de France a world remark, especially against the strong Red Rebels.
Looking at this season's Champions League, there are few teams that can be the opponents of the Red Rebels, who have shown unprecedented control of the pitch, and the strategic Jose Mourinho has allowed the Red Rebels to develop different tactics for different opponents to defeat their opponents.
Who can stop the Red Rebels has become the most interesting topic in European football today!
Is it okay for Barcelona?
Many people think that it can, because the overall strength of Barcelona is also very strong, especially Ronaldinho, and Rijkaard even said that he has found a way to restrain the Red Rebels, although no one knows what his so-called solution is.
More people think it is impossible, because the Red Rebels are also full of talent, and if Rijkaard can really restrain the Red Rebels, he will not be killed in the two rounds of the group stage, which is a shame for many Barcelona fans.
And some people pay attention, naturally some people discuss, so all kinds of experts jumped out one after another, and began to give advice in the newspaper columns, especially a large number of so-called tactical experts, who analyzed the tactics of the Red Rebels themselves, and wanted to train Barcelona for their surnames.
God, if the tactical level of Barcelona's coaching staff is inferior to this level, then there are only two possibilities for Barcelona to reach the Champions League final, either luck is explosive, or it depends on the godfather.
But at this time, the godfather has not yet been born!
Barcelona can reach the final, its own strength is the real deciding factor, although there were many misjudgments in favor of Barcelona in the two legs against AC Milan, but in fact, who team did not benefit or suffer from the misjudgment?
The Red Rebels did not give any response to the hype and rumors from the outside world, and the club's spokesman repeatedly said in an interview that the Red Rebels respect Barcelona as an opponent and will not give any response to the rumors.
Not only because the team doesn't want to get into a war of words, but also because the team has to face a dense and inhuman devilish schedule.
The first was the 37th round of the league on April 29, and the Red Rebels at home were obviously affected by the continuous fighting, although Mourinho rotated the players, although they were playing at home, but in the face of the tenacious performance of West Ham United, the Red Rebels were completely helpless.
The game went on for 80 minutes and the score was still 0:0!
Seeing that the game is about to end, Mourinho is very anxious, because he has just received the news that Liverpool beat Aston Villa 4-1, which means that the Red Rebels must win this game, otherwise, Liverpool, who have won consecutive games recently, will have an advantage in winning the title.
Jose Mourinho frantically motioned for his players to press on the sidelines, and he even replaced a number of players, including Drogba, in one go, frantically flocking to West Ham United, while the Hammers were all in the penalty area, desperately trying to stop the Red Rebels from attacking.
As the minutes ticked by, the players were impatient on the pitch, the fans were restless in the stands, the coaches were untenable on the sidelines, and the entire Red Rebels were completely turned into a hot pot, and people were ants on this hot pot.
Finally, at the crucial moment, the Red Rebels showed their iron and tenacious side, and in a corner kick opportunity, Curtis converted Michael Brown? Johnson's corner kick hit the ground hard, rebounded, and went past the hands of the West Ham United goalkeeper and into the goal, 1:0!
The Red Rebels scored the winning goal in the 89th minute, the final minute of the game, and also kept the team's hopes of winning the title, although they can only finish third in the standings, behind Manchester United, but the Red Rebels have two fewer games than Liverpool and Manchester United, as long as they continue to win these two supplementary games, the Red Rebels will reverse Liverpool and regain the top.
The 1-0 win over West Ham United gave the Red Rebels a good start to the next Devil's fixture, and also avenged West Ham's 1-0 home win over the Red Rebels.
But the Red rebels were not at all rejoicing at this victory, for they knew very well that it was not yet time to rejoice.
