Chapter 272: What the hell is this kicking!

The other questionable position was up front, with Falcao still the starting centre-forward and Diego Costa on the bench. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Before the start of the game, many European media were reporting on Falcao's transfer, and after so much public opinion, the media felt that it was difficult for Falcao to play in the final.

But Wansheng still chose Falcao.

It is not difficult to make this choice, one is that Falcao's state is no problem, in the player data of the football training master system, it can be clearly seen that Falcao's physical condition is very good, and the "Eye of Condition Evaluation" also shows that Falcao's state has reached '98', a higher data than the player's ability valuation.

This means that Falcao has the potential to outperform.

Considering that Falcao has always performed well in the Champions League, Wan Sheng has no reason not to let him play.

Those media who actively reported on Falcao's transfer and analysed the transfer in the hope of affecting the Atletico Madrid dressing room, they probably did not think that it was because of their reporting that Falcao took the game more seriously and inspired a high fighting spirit and state in their hearts.

Falcao is in excellent form, and Wan Sheng has no reason not to let him play.

Whenever it comes, the most important thing is that the team can beat the opponent as much as possible, and as for Falcao leaving, it is the end of the season, and it has nothing to do with the current game.

As soon as the game officially began, Wan Sheng found that Chelsea were playing very targeted.

They were well prepared for the game.

The European media all know that it is impractical to play against Atletico Madrid, even Barcelona cannot beat Atletico Madrid head-on, and other teams have little hope.

It's the same with Chelsea.

Their overall quality is good, definitely the best in Europe, but the style of the team dictates that they can't go head-to-head with Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea opted for a solid counter-attack and they worked the defensive in a targeted manner.

This was to be expected by Wansheng.

Chelsea's style of play is almost 'rugby', and from the first minute of the game, they are constantly rushing at the bodies of Atletico Madrid players, especially a few of the frontcourt players, who are given special care.

They barely care about fouls and they don't care about cards.

It doesn't seem like it's here to kick a ball at all!

Wan Sheng frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but Chelsea's style of play can't say anything, after all, fighting tough is also a kind of tactic, teams that are good at defense will do this, Chelsea need to strive for the best possible victory, their choice is correct.

Most Premier League teams will play like this when they meet Spanish teams, and Chelsea took out the same set of playing Barcelona and put it directly on Atletico Madrid.

Fortunately, Wansheng had long expected the opponent to play like this, and made arrangements for Chelsea's style of play, and Atletico Madrid's response was to keep the ball passing and keep the football out of the players' feet.

Every player has to pass quickly.

As long as the personal possession time is reduced, the opponent wants to make physical contact to play hard and defend, and there is no room to do it.

Atletico Madrid is prepared for this, so naturally they will not panic too much, and in fact, they also have a lot of experience in dealing with it - in La Liga, many teams will play against Atletico Madrid like this, the team will speed up the pace of the game and increase the number of passes, which is actually in line with the 'BT-F' system of play.

Chelsea didn't just add a tough defence, they also set up a specific defensive zone, every player defended in a certain area, they kept running and they worked together to defend.

This forced Atletico Madrid to continue to speed up the pass.

If you want to restrain Chelsea's style of play, you have to keep running, keep passing, and overall, the physical expenditure of Atletico Madrid players is higher than that of Chelsea on the defensive side.

Wan Sheng was a little surprised.

Chelsea's head coach Di Matteo is not a well-known guy, but he is definitely not incompetent to think of using this defensive style of play to limit Atletico Madrid, and it is no wonder that this guy took over the coaching position temporarily, and was able to lead Chelsea to the Champions League final.

In another time and space in my memory, Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea side were very good, and they beat Bayern Munich in the final to win the Champions League, which made Roman Abramovich's dream 'unexpected' come true.

But now it's completely different.

Chelsea also reached the final, but their opponents were replaced by Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea's defensive style of play has many advantages, especially the physical consumption, which is very good and very targeted, you know, Chelsea have plenty of time to prepare for the Champions League, and Atletico Madrid just played the Copa del Rey final a few days ago, so the preparation for the game is naturally poor.

Perhaps, in Di Matteo's opinion, the team's physical reserves are not as good as Chelsea's? But when it comes to exerting physical energy, Wansheng is not worried at all.

――――

The game was deadlocked.

Both sides were struggling to play, with Atletico Madrid showing fluid coordination and superb skill, while Chelsea showed only a rough style of play, but it was this rough style of play that gave them a slight advantage on the field.

The referee kept blowing the whistle to stop the game.

The continuous suspension of the game also made the game much less enjoyable, and everyone knows that this is caused by Chelsea's style of play, but professional football is like this, winning or losing is the key, for both fans, only neutral fans will talk about what to watch.

For the sake of victory, Chelsea don't care about spectatorship.

Atletico Madrid doesn't care either.

If you can win directly, even if the game is ugly, Wansheng will definitely let the team stick to it.

Di Matteo is no exception.

Managing Chelsea was his chance, and he would prove his coaching qualities to everyone if he could lead them to beat Atletico Madrid to the European Championship.

Winning the title is also very important for Chelsea.

It's not just an all-time honour, Chelsea have had a poor season in the league, finishing fifth.

The fifth place in the Premier League can only play in the Europa League next season.

Since Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005 and qualified for next season's Champions League, teams that have won the Champions League have been able to qualify for the Champions League, as long as they win the Champions League, Chelsea will be able to participate in next season's Champions League.

These are very important.

Now seeing the team's excellent performance, Di Matteo also breathed a long sigh of relief, the players on the field faithfully executed the planned tactics, successfully limited Atletico Madrid, although the continuous tough defense increased the chances of players getting cards, but so what?

It's already the Champions League final!

It doesn't matter if a player gets a yellow card, there are three substitutions for each player, and with someone on the bench at Chelsea, he can make changes.

Di Matteo believes that substitutions are the most important thing.

When the scene gets hotter and hotter, the chances of a player getting cards in a row become greater, and if two players are sent off, no tactics will work, and he must use the substitutions in his hand to make a fuss.

Seeing that a player is prone to re-cards, he immediately makes a substitution.

――――

The game was ugly, the neutral fans were disappointed, they were expecting a good match, but waiting for a lethargic scene, and the only thing to look forward to was whether the two teams would fight at some point.

But this is not a boxing match.

"The game is suspended again! I don't know how many times this is the time Chelsea midfielder Mikel has been fouled! Atletico Madrid's offensive just now played quite well, but it was stopped by Chelsea's foul, and under Chelsea's tough defense, Atletico Madrid can't play pleasing football! ā€

The Spanish commentator is complaining about Chelsea's rough defence.

In the eyes of the Spanish media, this style of play is simply the enemy of football, it should be banned, it should be banned, and even directly judged to lose, because it is simply too 'dirty', and it also makes the technical content of the game greatly reduced.

That time just now, it was Mikel's direct foul on Morris.

Atletico Madrid has several players who are 'special care', Morris is one of them, J-Rodriguez and Falcao are also 'harassed', Chelsea's defensive focus is in the middle, they target the middle, in comparison, the defense of the two wings is sparse, so the best player so far is Ozil, who has been recuperating from injury for four months.

Just like the media analysis, Ozil is indeed a little uncomfortable with the game, after all, he has not participated in the official competition for four months, even if the original skills are good, it will take a period of recovery to adapt, but Wan Sheng still sent him on the field, first of all, Ozil has experience in the competition, at least not as nervous as others, he is also a star player in the team, and he has a deterrent effect on the opponent when he appears, and most importantly, Ozil's appearance will disrupt the opponent's arrangement.

Chelsea must not have imagined that Mesut Ozil would be able to play, and it will not be easy for them to make targeted defensive changes on the fly, after all, there are only 11 players on the pitch, and to increase the defense on the left side will require loosening the defense in the middle.

What Ozil plays depends on his performance.

So far, Mesut Ozil hasn't been as bad as he could have been, with two successful dribbles on three occasions and no major problems with his movements, the only being that he is occasionally not very skilful with his team-mates, but he can still pose a threat to the Chelsea defence.

A number of media commentators have praised Ozil.

But overall, the game on the field is still not interesting, "This is probably the most ugly Champions League final." In 2008, Wan Sheng led Manchester City and Chelsea to play in the Champions League final, the two teams played a wonderful offensive battle, Chelsea focused on defense, but the performance on the field was still good, but this time, Di Matteo's Chelsea was really disappointing......"

"On the playing field, what we see is the body, the muscles, what we see is the people on their backs, what tactics the two managers have, what skills the players show, we can't see it at all."

"It's a boring game like this......"

The neutral commentator lamented the game, while the Spanish commentator directly criticized Chelsea, "Atletico seem to have been trying to speed up the tempo and try to play good football, but under Chelsea's restrictions, they can't really play it at all. As it stands, Chelsea are fighting exclusively for utilitarianism. The meaning of the words is almost to say that "Chelsea's entry into the Champions League final is the shame of the Champions League"!

UEFA President Michel Platini sat on the podium, and the game in front of him made his expression look very ugly.

This Champions League was unexpected.

Platini has always supported the weak countries in football, and he hopes that the weak countries in football in Europe can develop, so that grassroots clubs can also stand on the stage of the big competition, so in many UEFA policies, they are more biased towards European minor leagues.

The "Fiscal Fairness Act" was introduced on the basis of this principle.

The "Financial Fair Play Act" claims to be "to ensure financial fairness" and "to make every club profitable", but in fact, the purpose is to restrict the big clubs.

Many big clubs in Europe are not profitable and have been in a state of loss, but they have enough financial support, and if they can lose money, they can support the club to stand on the highest stage.

The implementation of the Fiscal Fair Play Act is different.

Under the conditions of the "Financial Fair Play Act", some clubs can not spend a lot of money to buy the stars they need even if they have financial support, and as soon as the bill came out, it was boycotted by almost all the big clubs, but because the small league teams and the small clubs in the big leagues also have the right to vote, the big clubs are a minority after all, and the bill was successfully passed.

In this season's Champions League, Platini also hopes that minor league teams can stand out and stand on the highest stage of the Champions League.

It's a pity that the strength of the small league club is too poor!

Neither Atletico Greece nor Basel have been able to go all the way to the Champions League semi-finals, but the Champions League has a tendency to be monopolized by Spanish football, which is not what Platini wants to see.

Rather than the Champions League final between two Spanish teams, it would be better to play between a Premier League team and a Spanish team.

Platini was quite satisfied with seeing Chelsea beat Barcelona, but the game in front of him made him feel dissatisfied.

In the big picture of European football, it's good that Chelsea are in the final.

European football cannot be monopolized by a certain country's team, so the Champions League should be renamed "Champions League of such and such a country".

But Chelsea's game was really ugly, and Platini couldn't help but think that after watching this game, many non-European fans would lose interest in the Champions League.

"What the hell is this going on!" Platini cursed in his heart.

UEFA has been sparing no effort in promoting the Champions League final, and the result is a game that is turned on the back? (To be continued.) )
