Most of the people who watch the excitement have been looking forward to the collision of the two teams, and this is the passion drama of the year, and the reason is straightforward, the two teams are really exciting.

If nothing else, the fact that two rival clubs would swap main strikers is a big hole in itself.

Before the season, it was a good week for fans to talk about it, and they couldn't figure out why.

Today's game is actually very good, and we will see how the two veterans can perform against their old masters.

Anelka was the first to strike, and his goal helped the new club stab the old boss hard.

The score is equalised, it's up to Drogba.

However, the game went on and Drogba still didn't have a chance to score.

In the second half, Tottenham struggled to control, while Didier Drogba seemed to be more defensive, harassing the Tottenham defence tirelessly up front.

Those who are waiting to see the big drama can't help but be a little disappointed.

Then there's Anelka, who seemed to disappear from the pitch after scoring a goal, only occasionally appearing in front of the cameras in the second half.

"Maybe they're really not the protagonists today."

As the commentator said, the protagonists of the two teams today are really not two strikers, and for Anelka, Lynn can defend with only one defender, and there is no need for special treatment.

Drogba is the same there.

Mourinho has the same mind as Lynn, which is to block the opponent's offensive and defensive playmakers.

No matter how much the two teams try to disguise, there is no possibility that the other team will let go of their attention to their core positions.

Like Tottenham's Ballack, Chelsea's Marcos Alonso.

On their home turf, Tottenham can only keep attacking. There were a lot more through balls and an attempt to use the pace to attack the Chelsea backline.

Defend Anelka. It would have been a difficult thing to do, but. For the Chelsea defenders, it's a little simpler, it's all too familiar to be together for so long.

Anelka is usually not good at expressing himself, he doesn't talk much, more often he just smirks, and he has a good attitude when he trains, so he is naturally familiar with his teammates.

Pepe was the starter today, and it stands to reason that he should be in charge of defending Anelka. Terry, however, swapped places with him.

Pepe dragged on.

If it had been in the past, this would have been criticized by Lynn.

But not today.

Quite simply, Terry knows Anelka very well and knows how to minimize Anelka's threat.

And Pepe is usually low-key and does not cause trouble, although he has a hot temper on the field, but he has a very good comprehensive quality, and his teammates also admire him, and his calmness in the game is very trusted by his teammates, and he lags behind. No one objected.

Pepe has satisfied the fans on a number of occasions and is one of the trusted Blues fans.

Whether it was offensive or defensive, Pepe showed extraordinary strength.

Just in the beginning. The fans also lamented the departure of Gallas, who is now nowhere to be missed, and they have been quick to embrace and like the new arrival.

Besides. Will Lynn's players be bad?

Certainly not, the biggest confidence of Blues fans is here.

Deal with Anelka. Terry also has a set, and that is a close-fitting. Don't let him turn around, although Anelka scored in the first half, that's normal, you can't expect anyone to be able to defend Anelka 100 per cent, this is a world-class striker.

Especially after Anelka's goal, Terry strengthened his control over the French striker, and Anelka's role was immediately reduced a lot.

Anelka hasn't done much for a long time under his defence.

Every time Anelka gets the ball, Terry clings close.

To be honest, Anelka wasn't surprised by this.

He knew Terry as well as Terry knew him.

On several occasions, Anelka was planning to use his foot skills to shake off Terry, a former teammate.

However, every time Terry was unmoved, he didn't care about football at all, he just clung to Anelka's body, no matter what Anelka did.

Stuck position.

That's how Terry dealt with Anelka.

This is Anelka's weakness, his skills and speed are good, but he is not tough enough in terms of impact, and when he encounters players who are tough defensively, he shows his shortcomings.

Anelka's role is not played, and Tottenham's attack is a little sluggish.

Barak was only a commander, and he could see Anelka's predicament, which was not surprising to him at all.

It's not once or twice against Chelsea, and Ballack knows how strong his opponents are.

He himself was in trouble.

Van Bommel is tasked with freezing Ballack today.

In terms of technical delicacy, Ballack is not as delicate as the Dutchman, Ballack is a player with a strong sense of the big picture, and he knows that if he wants to make a difference, he must break down Van Bommel's defence.

Speed isn't his strength either, so Ballack wants to be able to use his body to fight for him.

When Ballack bumped into Van Bommel, it was not as Ballack expected, Van Bommel was not knocked out of the way or hit at all, but just shook his body and continued to jam Ballack's forward position, entangled.

He was in a hurry, but Barak had to lean over again.

It's just that he didn't expect that the ball at his feet was directly stabbed by the opponent, his plan was to hit a gap, and then pass diagonally to the side, not letting Anelka take the ball directly in the middle, it has been proven that the effect is not good, and he is ready to start from the side.

Everything was ready, but the ball was lost.

A full-fledged commander does not lose his cool at this time.

Ballack immediately retreated, directing his teammates to mount.

Chelsea's counter-attack was the opposite of what Ballack had in mind.

The ball was quickly passed to Drogba's feet.

Carvalho, like Terry, was guarding against his former team-mates, and unlike Terry, who was a little more relaxed, Carvalho definitely used all his strength.

But he still can't push the other party half a step.

Drogba leaned on Carvalho, chested the ball and flicked it at his feet. Let Carvalho's kick from behind be in the air.

Then, make a pass to the side.

Football was handed over to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jose Mourinho has always admired Cristiano Ronaldo. But in the game is not at all polite.

In order to deal with Ronaldo, Mourinho has exhausted all means. Foul tactics are used, and the purpose is naturally to reduce Ronaldo's danger to his own defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a special position in Chelsea's tactics, he is not the pivot of the team's attack and defense, and he is indeed the core of the attack in the front court, even if Drogba is actually at his service.

Whether it's passing or breaking, even if it's shooting himself, Ronaldo can do a good job and it's hard to guard. What's even more commendable is that Ronaldo has a very strong running ability. A tireless run, the ability to maintain a high intensity of athletic assault throughout the game, is a nightmare for a defender.

It can be said that Ronaldo uses his personal ability to lead the team's attack when the team can't open the situation.

Therefore, containing Cristiano Ronaldo is the key to whether Tottenham can move forward.

But is it enough to guard against a Ronaldo?

This is the most uncomfortable point for Mourinho, when freezing Ronaldo, Ribery will be powerful from the other side, and even Frank Lampard will come out from time to time to give himself a moment.

It's hard to prevent. That's how Tottenham players feel.

Today, it is still Ashley Cole who is responsible for defending Ronaldo, and of course, Makelele will also come to help, and the two will join forces to contain Ronaldo. That's the answer Mourinho gave.

Before Ronaldo received the football, he saw the other two people rushing forward and back.

I smiled coldly in my heart, and my feet didn't stop. Making a stance to cut inward, Cole and Makelele had to adjust their direction to prepare.

And Ronaldo's feet are fierce.

The ball continued to roll towards the side.

"Beautiful! Alves! ”

It's not just Cristiano Ronaldo. There is also the assault of the full-backs, which is also a killer feature for Chelsea.

Alves stepped in to provide the assist. It made Tottenham's defence panic for a while.

The late attack ended after Drogba's header hit the post.

Watching Chelsea's tide reced, several Tottenham players were so nervous.

Mourinho put his finger in his mouth and his eyes were glued to the pitch as Chelsea's counter-attacks and attacks changed a lot compared to last season.

Their tactical routine is very fluid, and as long as there is a slight hole in their defense, the opponent will find it immediately.

Is it Cristiano Ronaldo?

No, it's still that person.

Jose Mourinho's eyes were focused on Alonso, who seemed to have only passed the ball to Van Bommel after the ball was broken, handed the ball to Drogba, and then didn't seem to move much.

However, Mourinho has observed that Alonso has been gesturing his team-mates, including Alves' quick insertion.

Cerebrum!

Mourinho has been pondering this word in his heart, and Tottenham also has such a person in the team, Ballack, but when the two are compared, the judgment is high.

If Lynn doesn't think so, Mourinho still thinks wrong, and Ballack is no worse than Alonso in terms of ability.

It's still a matter of tactics, Ballack's ability is limited by Chelsea's tactics.

Barak wanted to fight alone in front.

As for Alonso, he is under the protection of Frank Lampard and Van Bommel and is away from Tottenham's formidable midfield defence.

That's the tactical gap.

Mourinho didn't know it.

It seems that the tactics of the two teams are very similar, but the essence is far from the core.

As soon as Ballack gets the ball, whether it is Lampard or Van Bommel will rush up for close pressing, both of them have strong defensive ability, Ballack has to pay a lot to get rid of, one person's energy is limited, after spending too much energy to deal with the defense, how much can Balack be expected to do in the offensive organization.

Tottenham's attack seems to be lively, but in fact, it really doesn't hurt Chelsea much.

Mourinho's other move is to attack from the wings, Robben and Duff are good players, their speed and skill are very good, the problem is that Chelsea are not weak on the wings either.

He even forced Robben and Duff to withdraw to participate in the defense.

Tottenham are in trouble.

'Both sides are holding on and Chelsea are in slightly better shape, but without scoring a goal they need to work harder'

There was a hint of helplessness in the narrator's words. (To be continued......)
