"The star shines, Chelsea reverses Arsenal 4:2! 》

"Youth Storm, Red and Blue vs. Qiao Cannon Chess is one higher. 》

'Cardiff night, Chelsea win their third title of the season!' 》

"The Blue Army is invincible, and the arsenal sighs to the sky. 》

Who can stop Chelsea? 》

……

The next day, Shijie's media published reports of yesterday's FA Cup final, especially Chelsea's comeback from 2-0 down to 4-2, which was portrayed in a flattering way.

'Since Jovan arrived at Chelsea, the team has changed qualitatively. In the past, Arsenal was the representative team of London, and now, we can say without hesitation that Chelsea is the symbol of London! —The Daily Mirror.

After the game, Arsene Wenger clarified that it was Gilberto. Silva was substituted for physical reasons, but is it true? Such a clarification did not convince anyone at all, because judging by the slow-motion video, there was nothing wrong with Silva's body! Replacing Edu is definitely Arsenal's biggest stupid move in defeating Cardiff! - Daily Mail.

"According to insiders after the game, at half-time, Wenger wanted to replace Bergkamp with a midfielder to strengthen the defense, but the Dutchman refused to leave and had a fierce clash with Wenger."

This report from the "Times" obviously has a kind of jiashi who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

And the editor-in-chief of The Times wrote a personal review of the game, which was later in a column. An in-depth look at Chelsea's current state of fire.

He believes that the result of this game is not a real difference between the two teams, and that the losing Arsenal is not without a chance to win, but only in the 90 minutes of the game. Chelsea are doing better.

Of course, he also praised Qiao Wanxian's excellent on-the-spot command, but he also felt that Chelsea's complete victory this season was due to Qiao Wanxian's construction of Chelsea's midfield structure, with Joe Cole returning to the starting line-up and Frank Lampard breaking out. There are also sharp knives Kaka and rocky Makelele, their tacit cooperation in the midfield continues to create opportunities. It is the lethal weapon of Chelsea's winning streak.

At the same time, Qiao Wanxian's rotation system has also been thoroughly implemented this season, ensuring the physical fitness of the players while preventing injuries.

Compared to Chelsea's strong midfield, sharp forward line and solid defence. Arsenal's front and back lines are impeccable. The biggest problem is in the midfield.

'Patrick Vieira's injury has had disastrous consequences for Arsenal, and while Cesc Fabregas had some bright performances in the first half of the game, as the game progressed, Roy in particular. Keane's play, the Spanish youngster's lack of experience and weak physical confrontation are revealed. ”

'Arsenal's creativity up front has been mortally traumatized as Bergkamp age, and the young Cesc Fabregas has clearly not been able to pick up the lead, leaving Arsenal in the game with a constant flow of simple combinations or long passes through midfield. Lack of deterrence. ”

"Vieira and Gilberto. Silva is getting older and has more injuries. Edu, Sigan and other players are not capable enough to sit in the main position, and Cesc Fabregas is very young, this summer, adding midfielder Liliang is Wenger's first choice! ”

"This season's FA Cup final is a feast for the fans, but what about the Champions League final four days later? Although Mr. Wan Xian strategically despises his opponents and disdains Ancelotti's team, it is undeniable that AC Milan's strength is amazing! ”

"The attacking methods are colorful, with crosses from the wings, receiving from the middle, small crosses and cutting, and sharp individual breakthroughs...... Carlo Ancelotti is a master tactician, and after a Christmas tree formation, he instilled a variety of attacking routines into the team. Champions Cup final, Jowan Xian VS Ancelotti, will be the collision of Mars and Earth, we will wait and see! ”

Subsequently, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper listed a series of data, which is a data provided by OPTA, including the Jishu statistics of the four major European leagues and the Champions Cup, including the average number of passes per game, pass success rate, possession rate, number of dribbles per game, number of shots per game, etc.

Chelsea are undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries of the whole list.

Top of the list!

It's all!

In particular, Chelsea's pass completion rate is 90.3 per cent, Barcelona second with 82.3 per cent and Real Madrid third with 80.1 per cent.

The "Western Super League" has always been the team that pursues ball control, cooperation, and jishu the most, and even Mourinho cannot easily abandon this tradition. Chelsea's ability to achieve a pass completion rate of over 90% in the Premier League, where the defence is extremely fierce and the style of play is the roughest, is enough to prove that this is an absolute jishu team!

When all the data were listed, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper made a concluding sentence.

Most Passes + Highest Pass Success Rate + Highest Possession Rate + Most Shots + Most Goals + Most Dribbles ......

What is the result?

What was the result of the Champions Cup final?

He didn't give any answer, but the meaning was clear - Chelsea are an invincible team!

It's late May 2005, the major European leagues have ended, and the focus of the entire European football scene is only one - the Champions Cup final!

And, of course, Chelsea, the finalist.

There is no denying that AC Milan are very strong.

Up front there are Tomasson, Crespo, Inzaghi and the "nuclear warhead" Shevchenko!

The midfield lineup is even stronger, with Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Rui. Costa, Brockie, et al.

As for the backline...... The best in Europe is almost indisputable!

Maldini at left wing-back, Nesta and Stam at double centre-backs, and Cafu at right wing-back, it's a dream combination!

The main goalkeeper Dida, the substitute goalkeeper...... Abiati is in the prime of life!

This is definitely the peak that AC Milan has reached since the "Three Musketeers" in the late 80s.

At this time. Jovan and his coaching staff are reviewing the footage of AC Milan's game, which were held to a draw at home by Palermo in the 37th round of the league yesterday. The title race with Juventus in the league has become even more confusing.

Villas-Boas was happy to see AC Milan in a scorching situation in the league, and said with a smile: "The current AC Milan team still has a lot of problems!" ”

"The main reason is that they are fighting on multiple fronts, in the Champions Cup, in the national team, in the league, and the players are too tired. And now we have to work hard not only for the Champions Cup, but also for the league, hehe, the degree of suffering can be imagined. ”

Blanco looked serious. Look very serious: "Cafu, Stam, Nesta." Maldini, it's a perfect backline, but there are no suitable substitutes, and players like Kaladze, Costacuta and others are not mature enough. Carlo Ancelotti always uses the excuse of maintaining a stable squad. But it can't hide the problem of fitness deviations at the backline. ”

"Dida has been very poor lately!"

Chelsea's goalkeeper coach is an old man with white hair. Usually he speaks little, and only takes the initiative to speak during tactical discussions: "Although Dida did not make any low-level mistakes, he did not show the level that a giant goalkeeper should have, which will be a big hole for Milan." ”

The members of the coaching staff talked about AC Milan's shortcomings one by one, while Qiao Wanxian sat silently and listened, holding a pen in his hand, recording something from time to time.

This has become Qiao Wanxian's habit.

At first, it was because he didn't know how to tactics, so he simply chose to remain silent in order not to make jokes. Later, he gradually liked the feeling of listening and making decisions. This is the authority of the number one!

Villas-Boas was a member of the staff who was brought back by Jovin from Portugal last summer, and there is no one in the Chelsea squad who can match him when it comes to targeted tactical arrangements.

And this time, he didn't disappoint either.

"Wan Xian, I think AC Milan's forward line is very problematic!"

Boas was concise and to the point.

All eyes were focused on Boas's face, a certain trust in surprise.

Villas-Boas is obviously familiar with this kind of scene, and said slowly: "Crespo is from Chelsea, he has the characteristics we know best, he can pass and shoot, he has jishu at his head, he is a very good player. Milan Shevchenko was injured in the middle of the season, and Crespo played as a lone striker, scoring goals for a while, which was very terrifying. ”

Several old coaches in the team kept nodding, when Qiao Wanxian wanted to trade Crespo as a lottery card, they strongly opposed it, and the strength of the Argentines should not be underestimated.

"But!"

Suddenly, Boas changed his words: "With Shevchenko's return, AC Milan once again changed to a double striker, Crespo and Shevchenko partnered, and some problems were leaked at this time." ”

Blanco pinched his chin thoughtfully, and glanced up at Boas.

No wonder Joe Cannon has so much trust in this young Portuguese man, this guy speaks in a loud tone! And the ideas he puts forward are always so original.

"AC Milan are not suitable for playing two strikers! Or rather, the characteristics of Crespo and Shevchenko are too similar, and they are not used to each other's presence! ”

That's why Weishenme always works wonders when Carlo Ancelotti brings on veteran Inzaghi. Inzaghi is a shadow striker, while Shevchenko and Crespo are both central strikers, overlapping positions, and the effect received is obviously 1+1 less than 2. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Got to the point!

Boas's remarks reveal three meanings.

First, playing a double striker shows that AC Milan has to drop both in terms of creativity in the midfield and pressing in the front, because Crespo and Shevchenko are both explosive attacking center forwards, and it is impossible to press as aggressively as Tomasson.

Second, using the two-striker strategy, AC Milan did not achieve the desired effect on the offensive end, on the contrary, Shevchenko and Crespo were not willing to be the "green leaf" of the other person and rush to perform. So when Shevchenko returned, Crespo's form of scoring goals on the field was gone.

Third, once AC Milan is passive, Ancelotti will definitely send the veteran Inzaghi to "fight the fire", and this is the moment when Milan is the most lethal! (To be continued......)
