Jose Mourinho's Chelsea rarely play 4231, they are better at 433, or regular 442, so it will take some time for the tactical formation to get used to.

Grant knows this, and if he has a choice, he doesn't want the team to play in a formation that he is not suitable for, but there is no way for Chelsea now, and he also wants the team to play stronger, so he has to make adjustments in the formation, which is the job of a qualified manager.

Every team is different, for different teams, there must be different ways of playing, if you force the use of 433 or 442 tactics, Grant can also do it, but that is definitely a waste of Chelsea's strong star resources, can not fully play the strength, then his pressure will be greater, the media will think that he is not capable of leading Chelsea, this is often the trouble of the manager of the big team: there are a lot of stars in the team, the key is to make them all have a lot of playing time, this is very difficult, after all, football is a team sportIf there is a duplication of star positions, it becomes very complicated to arrange the formation play.

But fortunately, everyone knows that 4231 is a new formation arranged by Grant, and if you can quickly adapt to the formation, it will be more advantageous to compete for the main position.

So everyone worked hard in training.

In fact, the competition in the Chelsea team is very fierce now, and the players get along well in the dressing room, but the competition is obvious on the training ground and the playing field, such as the so-called Chelsea's 'four kings' in the media, Lampard, Essien, Makelele, Ballack, these four players are quite strong, and they are all good at playing in the middle of the midfield, everyone takes it out alone, it is enough to play the offensive and defensive core in a small team, and they can play quite well.

Then now in a team, they have to fight for a place.

Even if it's a rotation. It's hard for several people to play often, so there's a lot of competition between them.

Not only in midfield, but also in the wings, Robben, Joe Cole, Wright Phillips and other players are fiercely competitive, and in the front field Shepchenko, Drogba and Kalou are equally fierce, in short, there is a strong competitive atmosphere within Chelsea, which also makes the players work harder in training.

It takes time to get used to a new formation. Whoever can adapt first will have an advantage.

Grant was very happy to see that everyone was working hard to adapt to the tactics, but it was mainly Zhang Tiehan, in the 4231 formation, the one in the middle of 3 was the core of the frontcourt, if it was a game with a team of the same level, the formation could not be opened, and it could also be regarded as the offensive and defensive core, and the team's 'four kings' in this position could be served, but the best choice was Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan's personal ability is much stronger than theirs.

Zhang Tiehan is also adapting to the 4231 formation.

He's done better than anyone else, he's been through one season at Roma, he's been through one season at Liverpool, whether it's Roma or Liverpool, the formation used is generally 442 or 4231, and he's been a core role player a lot in his experience, so he adapts to the new formation very quickly.

However, if you want to say how to be able to express xiàn, it still depends on the game. If you meet a team that is very strict about defending itself and can do very well. Zhang Tiehan is not sure that he can completely lead the whole team with the core, but he is confident that he can perform well.

From Roma to Liverpool and now Chelsea, his individual ability has been growing, and even in terms of technical aspects, he dares to say that he is one of the best at Chelsea. Not to mention anything else, so he is quite confident in himself, no matter what kind of defense he faces, at least he is sure that he will not be too bad.

……

In the process, the English media has already begun to report on the next round of the league.

Chelsea's opponents in the next league game are Liverpool. This is a Premier League semi-final focus battle, two seasons, Benitez and Mourinho have been able to attract the attention of all fans, last season Zhang Tiehan in Liverpool, Liverpool has a slight advantage, and now Zhang Tiehan to Chelsea, Mourinho left the Premier League to Serie A, so what will be the result of the two teams?

No one can tell.

In the summer, Liverpool sold Zhang Tiehan, sold Cisse, sold Morientes, the forward line can be said to be empty, other positions like the veteran Hamann, also left Liverpool to Manchester City, but Liverpool also bought a lot of players, Dutch goalscorer Kuyt and England striker Crouch are Liverpool's biggest hand, the two spent Liverpool 35 million euros, the arrival of Welsh striker Bellamy has increased the competitiveness of the striker, Liverpool opened 9 million euros for him.

In addition to the forward line, in midfield, Liverpool brought in England's excellent right midfielder Pennant from Birmingham City for 9.1 million euros, and the other two central defenders, Argentine Paletta and Woolfhampton's Lescot, also spent 10 million euros together, adding up to Liverpool's summer investment of more than 62 million euros.

With an investment of more than 62 million euros, coupled with the return of Bangele, Dior, Le Talek and others, Liverpool's squad has been strengthened.

Benitez has more good players at their disposal, which is much better than last season's situation when there was only Zhang Tiehan in the front line and no one on the two wings.

Selling Zhang Tiehan and buying a group of outstanding stars in the playing year, no one can say whether the strength is strong or weak.

However, compared with Chelsea, the media is still more focused on Chelsea, not to mention home advantage or anything, Chelsea's strength is definitely strengthened, although Mourinho left the team, but Chelsea's lineup is definitely more gorgeous, not to mention their main lineup, Chelsea can come up with two completely different lineups, and the combined value of these two sets of formation stars is definitely much more than Liverpool.

That's the benefit of stacking stars.

Some people may think that this has nothing to do with the strength that can be played, but often the star is the strength, even if the overall Barcelona is more emphasized, there are also stars such as Messi and Ronaldinho, and they also need to introduce better frontcourt and backfield players to strengthen their strength.

Stars are the foundation of the team.

Someone is available to put out a stronger formation, and Chelsea are a lot ahead of Liverpool at this point.

However, the media coverage still revolves around Zhang Tiehan, who also played for Liverpool last season and defended the Champions League title with Liverpool, and now he is facing his old club for the first time at Chelsea. He'll be playing with a lot of his former team-mates, which is quite impressive.

"This is a competition that belongs to Zhang! Manchester Sport reported on the game under this headline.

'For the first time since leaving Liverpool, Zhang will be on the same pitch as many of his former Liverpool team-mates, but now he represents Chelsea. They will be adversaries. The Liverpool fans who come to Stamford Bridge will have mixed feelings, and they will definitely support Zhang, who won the Big Ears Cup for Liverpool last season, but now Zhang is their opponent. ”

"But before that, Zhang's mood will probably be complicated......"

Unlike what the report said, Zhang Tiehan's mood was not complicated at all, before the game, he was still in the mood to joke with his teammates, saying that he wanted to score a few goals. It's as if his opponent Liverpool has nothing to do with him.

It's not that he doesn't have feelings for Liverpool, it's that he's used to professional football.

In four seasons, he went from Manchester United to Wigan Athletic, from Wigan Athletic to Roma, from Roma to Liverpool, and from Liverpool to Chelsea. In fact, he had a bit of an otaku personality in his previous life, and he didn't want to constantly change the environment. But now there is no way, the reason is that he is too good, the previous club always can't resist the temptation of money to sell him, and he himself has no loyalty to these teams.

Maybe in a new team, he'll like the fans there because the fans will support him. But this kind of support is actually based on his good appearance, if he does not perform well, there will be no fans to support him at all.

The fans who really support him are those who care about him and will support him in their bones.

For example, the fans of Munich. He is a native of Munich, even if he crosses over, his body is also a native of Munich, the former Zhang Tiehan belongs to Munich, and all Munich fans will always have a sense of intimacy with the fans from their own region, even during the World Cup, many Munich fans rushed to support him.

Another example is Manchester United fans, he started to come into the world and was sold by Manchester United, but it is undeniable that in football, he is a Manchester United man, even if sometimes Manchester United is his opponent, those Manchester United fans still think of him as Manchester United because he came from the Manchester United Academy, and that is enough.

And only these two places, he will have some faithfulness.

Now against Liverpool, he doesn't have any feelings, the only feeling is to face Gerrard and other familiar people, he feels excited, he wants to be better, it's respect for his friends, it's respect for his opponents.

After training, in an interview with the media, Zhang Tiehan also said this, "I am looking forward to the game, I hope I can perform better in the game, I was talking to Joe about the game just now, he said that he wants to score goals, I said that I had better score three goals, then I will be happy." ”

He said so.

The Chelsea media were very happy to hear it, before Zhang Tiehan was in Liverpool, he said the same thing, they felt very unhappy, but now Zhang Tiehan is a member of Chelsea, he said that the goal is to go to Liverpool, they will naturally be happy.

Of course, on the contrary, the Liverpool media are not happy.

They quoted Zhang Tiehan's original words, and put a bunch of words such as 'forgetting his roots', 'being bought by money so quickly', 'he actually wanted to score three goals in Liverpool', and 'I don't know how Benitez, who cultivated him, felt after hearing it'.

Zhang Tiehan knew about the reports, but he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He can't help but let others report, especially now that his reputation is so good, his reports are being done everywhere in the world, most of them are praised, but there is definitely a lot of criticism, for Chelsea's opponents, it is not good news that they are good, they will naturally criticize themselves, in order to try to influence their own performance, or in other purposes, such as attracting readers with their heads, etc., in short, there is a good report, he can't make everyone satisfied.

He doesn't care.

Now he is no longer influenced by a few media reports, even Liverpool local fans have a fixed impression of him, and a few reports cannot affect his image among fans at all.

Worldwide...... No, not so widely, and no one in England knows his character.

He's such a person, be yourself and let others do it! (To be continued......)
