Volume 1 Chapter 284 Xiao Lu took a hand

Sometimes, experience is really a good thing, so good that you can't live without it.

has had the experience of a Champions League final, although Ye Qiu was still a little nervous before the game, he still felt the pressure, but he seemed more calm and unhurried to deal with it, and the coaching staff also went through a baptism of the Champions League final, everyone also clearly knew what they should do, everything was arranged in advance, and as the game approached, it was carried out step by step, and it was not disorderly at all.

The coaching staff is not chaotic, and neither are the players who follow orders.

A year ago at Old Trafford in Manchester, Ye Qiu's Ajax warmed up nearly two hours in advance, but this time at Schalke Stadium, Ye Qiu's training time was only an hour early.

An hour in advance should be considered relatively normal, generally the two teams participating in the finals come to the court to warm up around this time period, because according to the rules of sports, the real warm-up time should be about half an hour, plus some other preparation activities, as well as familiarity with the venue or something, it is almost an hour.

According to the information provided by the coaching staff, Mourinho's team arrived at the scene about a minute earlier than Chelsea, which also supports Ye Qiu's judgment to some extent, the Portuguese will launch a round of pressing and pressing for Chelsea from the beginning of the game.

It's no secret anymore, many people play Chelsea and Ye Qiu, and the start is almost the same, that is, to avoid letting Ye Qiu's team play a good start as much as possible, and if you want to avoid letting Ye Qiu make a good start, generally speaking, in addition to the absolute advantage of strength, there are two ways, one is to defend to the death, and the other is to grab Ye Qiu.

There are good and bad ways in both ways, there are opportunities and risks, and it is difficult to say which one is better.

Don't think that Ye Qiu came to the scene an hour earlier to support the big thing, in fact it is not, he has his own purpose and arrangement for doing this, first of all, he wants to give all the players an impression, that is, he does not take Porto too seriously.

A year ago, Ajax came to the scene nearly two hours early, Ye Qiu's purpose was to make all the players feel that he valued Real Madrid, and at the same time, it was also to be able to let all the players move their bodies directly, and enter the state directly from the beginning of the game, and catch Real Madrid off guard.

But now that Chelsea's strength has an absolute advantage, Ye Qiu went to meet Porto like a big enemy, the effect was not good, and it was more or less a bit of self-defeating, so Ye Qiu entered an hour earlier according to the usual situation.

Another point, Ye Qiu adjusted the combat strategy of this game.

It must be understood that all training and warm-ups, in the final analysis, are still for the game, the strategy of the game has changed, the training and warm-up events have naturally changed, and Chelsea's strategy and tactics in this game are completely different from Ajax a year ago, so there is no need to adopt the same strategy.

Members of the coaching staff, such as Peter Brandt and Ten Carter, were already considering the warm-up arrangements before the final when the team reached the final, and they even timed all the warm-up events to the second, ensuring that each warm-up training session would not be more than 30 seconds off.

And in order to ensure the effect of warm-up training, they are constantly supervising the players on the sidelines, so as to ensure that each player meticulously completes all the training items to ensure that the warm-up before the game can have the corresponding effect.

It should be said that the current batch of Chelsea players, even Davies, Cannavaro and others, are full of hunger for the Champions League title, not to mention Ronaldinho and Lampard, among them, the Brazilian is now in the limelight, as long as he can win a Champions League for Chelsea, he is definitely one of the popular candidates for next year's World Footballer of the Year.

Think about it, in such a situation, where will the players slacken?

During the entire warm-up process, Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and watched calmly.

In the warm-up event, when Chelsea played the common game of monkey, many fans in the whole Schalke Stadium were amazed, obviously Portuguese fans, they didn't know Chelsea before, thinking that Chelsea was a tough guy team, but they didn't expect that when they were walking monkeys, Chelsea attracted attention with an amazing quick touch of the ball.

And unlike the general monkey game, which only arranges one person to grab, Chelsea divides the 18-person squad into groups, 9 in each group, and directly carries out 3 robberies, whoever passes is cut off will go down as a monkey, and all the players seem to be accustomed to this, and they will go directly to the field if they make a mistake, and the training has not been interrupted, which makes everyone's eyes shine.

Jose Mourinho was also a little surprised from the sidelines, because he had to admit that even if Porto is a Portuguese team known for its South American Latin style, they are really not as good as Chelsea in terms of quick passing and receiving of the ball.

Of course, you could say that Chelsea are accustomed to nature, practice makes perfect, and they can sculpt English players such as Frank Lampard and John Terry to this extent, which in itself is enough to witness the skill of Ye Qiu and his coaching staff in the carving of technical details.

I believe that after seeing this scene, many fans who swore before the game that Portugal could use their technical advantage to play Chelsea should be silenced, because this scene will make them sadly discover who is playing with whom.

Moreover, the training quality of this 3-grab U monkey game is very high, Ye Qiu obviously has made delicate arrangements and arrangements for the U-name pass and receiver, as well as the 3 ball grabbers, so the players look very orderly and organized in the training process, whether it is passing and receiving the ball or jointly pressing and pressing.

This can't help but remind everyone of the impression that Chelsea gives people, not only skilled and meticulous fast passing and receiving cooperation, but also strict high-intensity pressing and pressing, obviously, they are taking this kind of high-quality and high-level training to achieve their goals on weekdays, and the players whether it is passing and receiving the ball or pressing and pressing, they have cultivated enough tacit understanding in training, and no matter where they run in the game, no matter who they cooperate with, they can be very skillful and tacit.

Roma was not built in a day, and without seeing Chelsea's warm-up training, I believe everyone will not feel this way, but after watching it, they will all find that Chelsea's rise and success are not accidental, but accumulated over time.

The reason why famous marshals are famous is because they have their own set of tactical concepts and ideas, and they will only keep innovating and improving, and will not easily change the core concept, so they can play their own things no matter where they go.

There is no doubt that Chelsea has been deeply imprinted with Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu has also stepped onto the stage of European coaches with this team, showing everyone his football philosophy.

If you want to go further, you need this Champions League

Perhaps it was because Chelsea put pressure on Porto's players by putting on a show in the warm-up game, so when they returned to the dressing room after the pre-match training, the Porto players were clearly under pressure and all looked serious.

It's no wonder they don't have any advantage over Chelsea.

In terms of attack, this is not their strong point, nor is it as good as Chelsea, in terms of defense, they are still inferior to the Blues, in terms of tactics, Chelsea's high pressing control flow has long been famous throughout the Europa, Porto can't catch up, originally they thought that their Latin South American style would have a little advantage in foot skills, but now it seems that who has the advantage has to say two.

Mourinho was also standing in the locker room, and he had to admit that he was also shocked by Ye Qiu's hand, which made him have to admit that Ye Qiu's ability to get to this day is not accidental, but an inevitability.

And you have to know that this is still a direct and public display of Chelsea in the pre-match warm-up activities, what are the core links of this team in the training program on weekdays, what are those core links that are not public? The intensity and difficulty may be higher than this 3-grabs U monkey game, which makes Mourinho, who attaches great importance to training intensity on weekdays, sigh to himself.

Villas-Boas pushed open the dressing room door and walked in, clearly holding the starting XI for Chelsea.

"It's starting to rain outside, it's light, but the ground is wet," Boas said of an accident.

Today's weather has not been very good, gloomy and gloomy, giving people a sense of oppression that is about to come with a storm, but I didn't expect it to really rain.

However, this type of light rain is not uncommon in Germany and should not be long.

Mourinho listened to it and flipped through the starting list in his hand, which did not surprise him too much.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Cannavaro, John Terry and McCone at the back from left to right, Davies, Claude Makelele and Deco in midfield, with Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard behind Drogba to form Chelsea's attacking trident.

43I This is Chelsea's standard tactic this season, there are no injury attritions, no suspensions, and Chelsea really still has the strongest tactical lineup, but Ye Qiu still has a lot of changes in his hands, and there are wide players like Joe Cole and Ribery on the bench, as well as defenders like Gallas.

Mourinho also changed a lot of moves, Porto did not reduce the number of players in this game, the goalkeeper is Baia, the back line is Valente, Carvalho, Jorge Costa and Paulo Ferreira, the midfield is Maniche, Costinha and Mendes are behind, Thiago plays the central midfield, Delle and Alberto form a double striker, the standard 43 tactics.

McCarthy has been doing well in the Portuguese Super League, but Delle has been a bit better in the Champions League, and Brazilian striker Alberto has the ability to handle the ball is what Porto need right now, so Mourinho started Delle and Alberto.

Russian wide player Alenichev is one of Mourinho's trump cards, his skills are dangerous on the wings, and he can always open up situations when the team is in a stalemate, which is the same reason that Ye Qiu likes to bring Ribery on the bench.

In fact, there are many media comments before the game, thinking that Mourinho's Porto is very similar to Ye Qiu's Chelsea, although one is 43I and the other is 43, but in fact, if Ronaldinho is regarded as a striker, it is equivalent to Alberto, and Chelsea plays 43.

The difference is that Chelsea is a luxury version, Porto is a silk version, and unlike Porto's attack that is too obsessed with the middle, Chelsea's wide attack is also very threatening, after all, McCone and Evra are the kind of attacking players who insert after the wing, and the midfield has strong players like Davies, Deco and Makelele, who can play more resolutely and play a bigger and more critical role when they take turns to plug in.

This is something that the defensive Pablo Ferreira and Valente do not have, so Porto's wings are hardly prone to attack, and the team is best at counter-attacking.

When Jose Mourinho told his players about Chelsea's starting line-up, the Porto players were not overly surprised, as there was nothing surprising about Chelsea's starting line-up.

'As I've said before, we don't have the slightest advantage against Chelsea, and even the only thing we do better than our opponents is because we are far inferior to our opponents, so we have to put aside our pride and self-esteem and fight back against what others don't want to fight.

"I also know that you are unwilling to do this, I know even more, you want to be able to have a bang with Chelsea, believe me, guys, I will not be less eager for this aspect than you, on the contrary, I hate their manager more than any of you, that damn guy called Ye Qiu"

For the grievances between Mourinho and Ye Qiu, Porto's players are very clear, in fact, it comes down to the media hype, they like to call Mourinho Ye Qiu II, and Mourinho feels that he has been humiliated, coupled with the previous UEFA award attribution issues, it is not surprising that the two do not agree.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Ye Qiu hasn't said anything from beginning to end.

"Playing Chelsea, the beginning is very important, they like to attack, Ye Qiu can be said to be the best coach in the world, countless teams have suffered losses at this point, so I hope you don't blindly press up from the beginning, don't easily leave our defense area, our start will be mainly defensive, and run at any cost of physical strength to disrupt their rhythm."

'The opponent's players are better than us in terms of individual ability, we should try to tighten the three lines as much as possible and avoid one-on-one situations as much as possible, because Ronaldinho has excellent individual ability, Deco's ability I believe you know very well, plus the big man Drogba, and Frank Lampard who is very capable in the back, and Davies who is on a rampage, which requires us to be very ready and maintain a tight defensive formation after the start.

If the strength is weak, then it can only be compensated by the team, and this is the role of tactics.

'But that doesn't mean we have to be beaten passively, I always believe that no matter how strong the tiger is, there will be a nap, and as soon as Chelsea show a flaw, we will give them the most lethal blow, just like we did against Manchester United, against Lyon, against Deportivo La Coruna, with a fatal blow.

Although Mourinho played 43, in fact, Thiago's position was relatively deep, his responsibility was to distribute the ball and organize the midfield, and the attacking method was more directly transitioned to the front court, leaving it to Carlos Alberto to deal with.

Carlos Alberto, a player who played as a midfielder at Fluminense, was brought in to Porto this summer, and he has excellent skills at his feet, strong ability to handle the ball and make the ball, and even in Brazil, there are many people who are more optimistic about Alberto than Kaka, who was popular at AC Milan.

A very important reason for Mourinho's introduction of Alberto is that Deco transferred to Chelsea, and if he lost Deco, he lost his way out of the ball, so Mourinho relied on Alberto this season, hoping that he could become the team's offensive ball path advancement, connecting the midfielder and the forward line, and giving full play to the scoring ability of Delle and McCarthy.

This is also the best transformation Mourinho can make after a season of familiarization and adjustment.

Mourinho's strategy for this game is also very clear, I am not as strong as you, I will let you control the ball, I will shrink the defense, before you enter my defensive zone, I will toss as you like, but once you enter my half, I will firmly limit your range of movement.

Football matches are like the left and right ends of the scale, I shrink, you naturally want to press forward, plus Chelsea themselves are the kind of team that likes to defend high, and usually high defense, the space between the back line and the goal is always exposed the moment it moves from attack to defense.

Porto's two strikers, whether it is Delle or Benny McCarthy, are the kind of strikers who are fast and have a strong ability to grasp scoring opportunities, but the P-year-old Delle is more mature and stable, so he is more valued by Mourinho in the Champions League.

It should be said that defensive counterattack has always been Porto's winning weapon in the Champions League final this season, and there are many things that do not need to be said by Mourinho, the players themselves can understand, and Mourinho just keeps emphasizing one point, that is, the defense must be kept tight.

'Ribbing is one of Chelsea's most important scoring tools, and our midfielders have to protect the ribs of the defence, especially the gaps between the two full-backs and the two centre-backs, as well as keeping an eye on Didier Drogba, who will use the Ivorians to create attacking chances.

"If we can do both, we can make Chelsea's attacking threat less than half, and then contain their attack, forcing them to show their weaknesses and holes in their defence, and that's our chance," Mourinho slapped the tactical board next to him, as if it were a collapsed Chelsea.

This action immediately aroused the blood and fighting spirit of everyone in the locker room, and everyone seemed to be inspired by the head coach.

Mourinho's thinking has been made clear as early as the pre-match tactical preparation meeting, and all the Porto players are no strangers to it, but now hearing Mourinho's confident re-analysis has made them clearer, more clear about their game goals, and unified everyone's game strategy.

This is very important because teams that play their own games often die horribly.
