Chapter 213: Lyman's Mistake
Since Spain won the European Cup, the pass-and-control style of play has become popular in European football, especially represented by several teams such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City.
On the contrary, the efficiencyists represented by Mourinho are looking for ways to break the flow of traffic. Qiao Wanxian traveled in 2034, he knows the development of football in the past 30 years, and knows the key condition to crack this passing and control flow - a free man in the midfield.
There is no doubt that Mourinho was a pioneer of this kind of exploration.
In order to resist Barcelona's strong control, Mourinho repeatedly sacrificed the pressing tactics of the back three, although he won the victory, but the reputation was not good, and the effect was not good. Later, after a gradual tactical evolution, he was still able to break the dominance of pass-and-control football under the two-back system, and the reason was that he found a real way to resist.
When the three backs were arranged, Mourinho was still in the exploration stage, and in fact, there were already some rudiments of the midfield free man setting, two midfielders were responsible for normal defensive tasks, and one back was mainly responsible for the free running of the midfield, limiting the opponent's play.
However, the attack power of such a system is obviously weak, and later it was discovered that Modric, Willian and other players with good offense and defense set up the position of free man in the midfield, which officially established the situation that the pass-and-control style of play is no longer a problem in front of Mourinho.
Of course, Mourinho has been groping for more than 5 years, and Qiao Wanxian, as a reborn, can make a strain between lightning and flint.
Send Roy. Keane, let him be a free man in midfield, use his understanding of the game and his rich experience to interpret the game, so that he can defend and attack.
The position of a free man in midfield is not something that any player can do. It is necessary to have a well-rounded jishu, a large range of motion, and a strong running ability. And it has excellent organizational skills, offensive ability, and is a barrier on the defensive line.
The most important thing is that the coach gives the midfield free man absolute freedom and command, and his performance on the field determines the key to the victory or defeat of the team in a game, so the midfield free man must have enough game experience as an accumulation.
In this day and age, Jovan's favorite midfield libero is Germany's captain - Michael Brown. Barack. Frank Lampard, Deco and Xavi are all heavy on attack and light on defense, while Emerson and De Rossi are heavy on defense and light on attack. Pirlo is slower and Baptista is not consistent enough......
However, Qiao Wanxian believes that with the effect of his own Shengyuan No. 1. Plus Roy. Keane's wealth of experience and willingness to play will surely turn the tide on the field.
"In the second half of the game, the midfield must continue to encircle and press the Arsenal players, but it can't be as blind as in the first half. The rhythm of the rush by Roy's organization. Let them mess up, completely mess up! But don't be, you can't put it all down like in the first half. ”
Qiao Wanxian has experience and knows that he can't press the opponent too hard, and he must give the opponent a little room to move moderately, leaving them with hope to pass forward, so that Chelsea's chance of breaking the ball is higher.
"Michael, you have to run a little bit more aggressively in the second half. Don't have the slightest idea of conserving your physical strength, and try your best. 100% pay! If nothing else, I'll have Fernando on 75 minutes, so you don't have to hold back. ”
Owen took a sip of the sports drink in his hand and nodded with a smile.
"Roy, remember, in the second half of the game, you are the master!"
zuihou said a word, and Qiao Wan looked at Roy. Keane, speaking earnestly.
Roy. Keane nodded heavily and said firmly, "I understand!" ”
Soon, 15 minutes had passed in the middle of the field and the second half of the game officially began.
The Gunners fans at the Millennium Stadium seemed to be still immersed in the good situation of leading in the first half, following the referee's whistle and setting off waves of red and white.
"The second half of the game has begun, and as expected, Joe Cannon took the lead in choosing personnel adjustments, and the veteran Roy . Keane replaces Frank Lampard, no...... It looks like Joe's cannon is going to consolidate the defense. It's strange that if you change someone else, you will definitely change the offensive player to score a goal when the score is behind, but Qiao Cannon did the opposite, replacing the offensive player with a defensive player, does he really give up this game? ”
On the field, Arsenal was gaining momentum, taking advantage of the aftermath of the first half, launching a series of attacks like red waves.
No one knows what Arsene Wenger laid out during the fifteen minutes of the break. But it was clear that Arsene Wenger understood that he couldn't go all the way against Joe's cannons, alternating between back-to-back and attacking in an attempt to break Chelsea through a tactical change.
At the start of the second half, Arsenal were desperate.
One beaten, one beaten?
The scene is back to the way it was at the start of the first half? Everything looks so similar, but it's not hard for an attentive person to notice that Roy. Keane's arrival led to an immediate reduction in Arsenal's threatening passes.
In terms of organisation and defence, there is still a big gap between Lampard and Keane.
There is a saying in the Chinese Art of War: once you are vigorous, then you will decline, and then you will be exhausted.
Just enough to describe the current situation on the field at Arsenal at this time.
The attacking tactics of the opening game did greatly suppress Chelsea in terms of momentum, but Roy. Keane, Makelele sappers and Arsenal's midfielders have lost their creativity, and the team's shortcomings have been blown out immediately.
With 10 minutes to play in the second half, it was clear to all the fans in the stadium that Chelsea had completely turned the tide of the pitch with just one substitution, and Arsenal's attack looked fierce but thunderous and rainy, and it was not a real threat at all, completely different from the first half.
Of course, Wenger saw the situation on the field clearly and realized that the situation was not good, if he continued to attack like this, it was likely that there would be mistakes that would lead to the opponent's counterattack, so he waved his hand and once again sacrificed a trick - the whole team retreated, and the backfield was down!
Arsenal's offensive has been sharply reduced, and Roy. Keane was finally able to show his function as a free man on the field, handing over the backfield to Makelele, and went to the front to direct Rooney, Owen, Joe Cole, Kaka and several others to start the siege in the Arsenal half.
Suddenly, the pressure on Arsenal's midfield increased greatly, and although the success rate of passing at the back of the side was higher, once it was wrong, the consequences were absolutely unimaginable.
For a moment, Arsenal's backfield looked a little embarrassed.
"Huh? There are changes! Arsenal, as in the first half, were still playing the same shameless backfield reversal, but Chelsea's siege was obviously much stronger than in the first half...... Look at the ball! Gilberto. Silva passes back to Lauren, Rooney predicts the ball in advance? …… It's so dangerous, Arsenal escaped! ”
With a burst of exclamation from the Gunners fans in the stadium, Lauren scrambled to break the ball first.
The throw-in was issued, Rooney got the ball and returned it to Grosso, who did not raise his head, and with the habit and tacit understanding he had developed in training, he sent the ball to the Arsenal penalty area for the first time - cross!
There, blue and red are tangled together, Owen and Kaka, two players who are not too tall, are marked and have no room to jump, and the team's point-grabbing masters Terry, Cannavaro and others are still in their own half, what should I do?
German goalkeeper Lehmann leaps high with confidence to take the ball off. However, he made a mistake in judgment under the interference of his own defender Toure, and the ball ...... I actually got rid of it.
'Chelsea took a throw-in, Grosso tossed the ball to Rooney, Rooney made the ball to Grosso, and it crossed! Grosso suddenly came in with a long cross...... Lehmann jumped high and it looked like Chelsea's attacking chances were gone again this time, and the German goalkeeper would not give them such an opportunity...... Wait a minute! Sell? Lyman actually got out? God, unbelievable! ”
Fatal mistake!
On the sidelines, Arsene Wenger's eyeball almost fell to the ground, what happened? My most trusted goalkeeper made a mistake? God forbid, don't let this mistake become a bitter fruit.
Qiao Wanxian's eyes widened, and he smiled: "What's the matter, this is still a big gift?" This is the beginning of eight years without a crown? ”
The ball bounced on Lehmann's fingertips and scurried over the head of a stunned Toure and onto the back post.
There, a dim player leapt almost from the spot to the top and easily slotted the ball into the back post.
The ball went in?
That's right, the ball is in!
Chelsea's No.10 - Joe. Cole!
After a brief silence, the crowd of Blues fans boiled over and the goal finally came! After 60 minutes of waiting, Chelsea finally scored the first goal of the game.
From Lehmann's mistakes, from Joe Cole's realization.
When the carnival is in progress...... (To be continued......)
