Volume 1 Chapter 253 Magic World Wave
Can anyone beat Manchester United?
Almost the entire world scoffed at Ye Qiu's remarks, feeling that they were too alarmist and exaggerated.
Manchester United have let go of players such as David Beckham, Veron, Chadwick and Blanco this summer, but the strength of this team should not be underestimated, bringing in outstanding stars such as Jemba, Howard, Kleberson and Cristiano Ronaldo, among which Cristiano Ronaldo's strength on the right side has also attracted the attention of Manchester United fans.
Ye Qiu focused on Fabregas and Messi throughout August, although he also asked scouts and agents to go to Sporting Lisbon to get to know Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese eventually chose Manchester United, and I heard that Ferguson personally persuaded him to rob Arsenal of the corner.
The unlucky Wenger was also furious about this, feeling that he was too aggrieved and being bullied left and right.
Therefore, on the whole, although Manchester United's strength has declined, it will definitely not fall to the point where any Premier League team can beat it, so for Ye Qiu's words, the interpretation of the media and fans feels more that it is still psychological warfare.
Ye Qiu's rotation principle is actually very simple, when playing against weak teams, try to rotate while keeping the team able to win, the purpose is to ensure that all players play with the strongest main lineup when they encounter strong dialogues.
Therefore, in this game against Manchester United, Chelsea still discharged 43L tactics.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Gallas, Cannavaro, John Terry and McConn at the back, Edgar Davies, Claude Makelele and Deco in midfield, with Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard forming the trident behind Drogba.
Like Chelsea, Manchester United fielded their most in-form squad for this game.
The goalkeeper is the American goalkeeper Howard, who has just joined the team this season but has performed very well, the backline is O'Shea, Silvestre, Ferdinand and Gary Neville, the midfield is Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo from left to right, and the double forward is Ruud van Nistelrooy and Diego Forlan.
This game is the most watched game in the Premier League so far this season, and it doesn't even need to be one of them, because Chelsea's strong rise this season has shaken the traditional powerhouse of Manchester United and Arsenal, and some even believe that this season's Premier League will be Chelsea's world.
The war between the new king and the old overlord has always attracted the most attention from fans and the media.
For this reason, the night at Stamford Bridge was brightly lit and crowded, not only Chelsea fans, but also the English rugby world champions who were on hand to watch the tactics of the two sides, as well as English football celebrities and London celebrities.
Roman Abramovich even invited 400 of his friends and relatives in Russia to London on a connecting flight, for which he paid more than UU million pounds, hoping that the group of friends and relatives could come to Stamford Bridge to see for themselves how his team beat Manchester United.
From the head-to-head confrontation between the two teams before the game, to the wrestling between the two clubs, coupled with the fans and the media, this game has become the most watched game in the Premier League this season.
'There are even a lot of people who say that if Manchester United lose this game, they will likely lose their qualification to the league title, and what remains will be a battle between Chelsea and Arsenal, two teams who have been unbeaten so far this season'
Sky TV also fielded two big names for the live broadcast of the game, with Andy Gray and Richard Keith commentating on the match, which will also generate high overseas ratings and will be broadcast live from all over the world.
It can even be said that from the Premier League to the FA to Sky TV to English football, almost all walks of life promote and promote this game as the most important game in the first half of the season, so this game has far more exposure and attention than all other Premier League games.
And this is another strong matchup that no one wants to lose
Unknowingly, Ronaldinho has been in London for more than 100 days, and before he knows it, he has adapted to the fog.
When he first came to London, he was not used to the weather, he was Brazilian, he was used to seeing the sun, but in London, the haze was everywhere, which made Brazilians feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Qiu is very good to him, really good, in addition to fully taking care of and giving full play to Ronaldinho's advantages in tactics, he also gave a lot of support in life, just like when he first came to London, he first lived in a hotel, Ye Qiu arranged for him to live in a luxury hotel in central London, and arranged for the club driver to pick him up and from the Harrington training base every day.
After signing with Chelsea, Ronaldinho began to look for a house in London, which has always been the responsibility of his sister Daisy, and Ye Qiu let his agent Eliza be responsible for helping, the latter carried out financial planning for Ronaldinho, helping him find a satisfactory, cost-effective and comfortable house, even if it was delayed for a month, Ronaldinho's family still felt very satisfied.
The house had been renovated, and he was going to have a dinner party at home before Christmas, inviting his teammates and coaches to come to the house to taste his mother's and sister's cooking, as a way for him to thank Ye Qiu.
However, he also knows very well that thanking the manager is not just about eating, he also hopes to repay the manager's support and trust with his better and better performance on the pitch, and this game against Manchester United is his opportunity.
After returning to Brazil to play warm-up matches in June and returning to London, Ronaldinho and McCone both rested for two games, one league and one Champions League
This made them feel that Ye Qiu attached importance to this game, from the very beginning, he wanted to bring down Manchester United in this game, so playing Southampton and Sparta Prague, he arranged a substitute lineup to play, the purpose is to let the team's main stars recuperate.
Standing in the middle of the pitch, opposite standing a black and fierce man Drogba, the Ivorian with his somewhat trademark smile, anyone could see the excitement in his eyes, he must now be proud and excited to be on such a big stage.
It's a much-anticipated match, and fans all over the world are watching it, and whoever performs well will be worth a hundred times more
It's impossible for the fans and the media to follow you one game at a time, they will only pay attention to your performance at the most critical moments, and if you win them over with your performance, then you are a superstar
Close your eyes, tilt your head, and listen to the deafening sound coming from your ears, the Stamford Bridge, it's very chaotic, it's completely chaotic, you can't hear what these fans are shouting, it's messy, it's completely out of order, but it's not important, the important thing is that this sound can stimulate your body and make your blood gradually warm, boil, burn
Referee Bol walked to the centre circle, turned around, smiled and nodded to the home team's Chelsea players, then nodded to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Diego Forlan as they stood in the centre circle ready to serve, the whistle was already in his mouth, and everyone in the Stamford Bridge stadium felt a rush to get ready to go
With a crisp whistle, Van Nistelrooy kicked the ball to Diego Forlan on the opposite side, and the game officially kicked off.
As soon as Manchester United kicked off, Drogba pressed forward as soon as possible, and he chased the ball passed back by Manchester United, which was the task given to him by Ye Qiu, that is, to force Manchester United to reverse the ball as much as possible, so as to facilitate Chelsea to press forward as soon as possible and crush the Manchester United midfielder.
Ronaldinho was right behind Drogba, although Ye Qiu did not assign him defensive tasks, he ran very smartly, covered behind Drogba, and dribbled a shot, creating an illusion that he was blocking the passing route.
From front to back, Chelsea players poured across the United half, Davies ran around like a rampaging boar, and Frank Lampard combined with Didier Drogba to put pressure on United's midfield.
In Ye Qiu's oppression training, it is very important to tell his players a truth.
A ball, two people pass, one person grabs, very dangerous, if you want to pass and receive the ball smoothly, at least three people have to cooperate; But if two people are pressing, the cooperation of three people is not good at all, if the two people who are forcing the tacit understanding, it is difficult for four people to guarantee that they can hold the ball, and they have five people.
For this reason, Ye Qiu also confirmed his point of view for the players in training, he arranged for the players to carry out all kinds of pressing and passing and receiving exercises, and told everyone with ironclad facts that there is tacit and organized oppression, and the number of troops invested is actually not much, and even sometimes, two or three people can overturn the midfield and backfield of a team.
Now, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard are doing just that, while Ronaldinho is a bogus and his role is more of an attacking one, but around him, Davies and Deco are both pressing forward to fill the void he has left behind.
When the ball landed at Keane's feet, Lampard was the first to press forward.
Half a year ago, everyone said that Lampard was enough to inherit Keane's mantle and become the most powerful rookie in the Premier League, but today, half a year later, no one will say that Lampard is Keane, because he occupies the first place in the Premier League's scorer list, he plays in the front of the club, and the position is higher, so he and Keane are enemies in this game.
The first physical contact between the two tough guys, neither of them could take advantage, Keane was forced to knock the ball back, Ferdinand stepped forward to respond, but after getting the ball, under the disturbance of Drogba, he immediately divided the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, but Gallas stabbed the ball to Davies first.
Deco received the ball and quickly distributed to the right, McCone sprinted quickly along the right side, and Giggs was left behind by him because he stepped forward to participate in the attack, so when the Brazilian right-back received the ball, Manchester United only had one left-back O'Shea.
But just as McCone was about to use his speed to pass O'Shea without slowing down, Keane stabbed at the stab and put McCone down with a vicious tackle, and the ball flew out of the sideline.
The Irish tough guy got up from the ground, looked at O'Shea, and spat out, "Like you did just now, you have to teach him a lesson"
This was clearly said to McConn, and the Brazilian was pulled up by Lampard, who shook his head, apparently reminding him that this was Keane's usual style, and that he should not be angry, and that if he did, he would fall for Keane.
McConn nodded, quickly ran to the sidelines, caught the ball thrown by the caddies, and wiped it on his jersey.
It's already close to Manchester United's big penalty area, and McCone can even throw the ball directly into the box if he has the opportunity, so Manchester United also attach great importance to the throw-in defense this time, and they have retreated, and Keane and Ferdinand have been directing their teammates.
Just when McCone was about to serve, Drogba quickly ran from the penalty area to the right side, looking like he was going to catch the ball, and Sylvester followed for the first time, plus Deco inserted behind the midfield, for a while Manchester United's defensive attention was attracted by the two people in front of him.
Keane is very experienced, he didn't move, because he knew very well that no matter how the throw-in tactics were arranged, they would have to return to the middle at the end of the pitch, so he and Ferdinand didn't move, they were both sitting in the middle.
The ball was thrown to Drogba, and the Ivorian and Silvester were one-on-one on the right side of the Manchester United penalty area, the former had his back to him, and the latter blocked Drogba with his body, but Ferdinand still ran over to help defend for the first time, because Drogba's physical fitness was too good, and he accidentally squeezed Sylvester away, then he was able to kick directly.
Drogba just took the ball and saw that he couldn't squeeze Silvestre, and Rio Ferdinand came to answer, he immediately knocked the ball back to McConn, who ran into the field on the right side of the penalty area, and the Brazilian right-back noticed that Lampard was inserting in the middle and directly rolled out a cross.
Keane followed Frank Lampard all the time, and the pair battled for the ball on the right side of the arc at the edge of the box, where the header was very small, so Keane was more likely to avoid Lampard from getting into the box than to prevent him from getting the ball.
Frank Lampard also knows how much threat a header from the edge of the box can possibly threaten, so he's not heading, he's ferrying.
Ronaldinho was already ambushed here, Phil Neville used his body to block Ronaldinho's passage into the penalty area, leaving the Brazilian with his back to the penalty area, but in the face of the incoming ball, Ronaldinho met the incoming ball with his left foot and knocked lightly, and he turned around nimbly, quickly brushing the Englishman from the left side of Phil Neville.
"Oh my God, very, very amazing heel knock pass, man ball pass, Phil Neville was given by Ronaldinho's almost magical footwork," Andy Gray couldn't help but exclaim over there.
When have you ever seen such magical footwork in the Premier League?
The well-informed Andy Gray was so surprised, let alone the crowd of fans at Stamford Bridge, who got up from their seats one by one.
After seeing the ball pass Phil Neville, Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated and entered the penalty area.
Howard hesitated on the question of whether to attack or not, and by the time he made his decision, he actually had no choice but to fly to save, because Ronaldinho had already stopped the ball and went straight to the curling ball.
The ball spun with a strong spin and drew a graceful arc, bypassing Howard and into the far corner of the goal
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
"World Waves"
"A very, very amazing world wave came less than three minutes into the game"
Andy Gray and Richard Keith couldn't help but cheer in unison.
'A very, very beautiful throw-in from Chelsea, McCone flicked to Didier Drogba, caught the attention of two of United's centre-backs, knocked back and then crossed for Frank Lampard to head in and Ronaldinho struck a fantastic back-heel past Phil Neville before slotting home from inside the box
'Oh my God, Chelsea scored at the beginning and it was such a beautiful world wave, it was fantastic, the superstar from Brazil, Ronaldinho's genius'
After the goal, the Brazilian had rushed out of the stadium as soon as possible, under the stands where his mother, sister and brother were, celebrating his goal, grinning widely, showing his ugly teeth, but at this moment, his teeth were so lovely in everyone's eyes that everyone couldn't help but smile with him.
"A very surprising start, Ye Qiu has always been known for being good at opening, but no one expected that Manchester United at Stamford Bridge would be attacked by Chelsea at the beginning of the game, which is very bad for the away team, because their morale will be damaged because of this, on the other hand, the home team's morale is high"
No one expected the start of the game to be like this, and Ferguson burst out of his seat and opened his arms in shock, clearly puzzled by the mistake of his defender, as it was obviously a stupid mistake
Phil Neville had his head bowed, looking guilty and remorseful, because he thought he had blocked the link between Ronaldinho and the goal, so he didn't want to ruin the header, but what he didn't expect was that the Brazilian would be so clever with his backheel that caught him off guard.
"It's not just Phil Neville, it's the whole Manchester United defence that has problems, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand are too far apart to help behind Phil Neville in time, which also causes Ronaldinho to be able to form a single knife as he wants after passing with his heel."
'It's not just one person's responsibility, it's all the defensive players, including Keane, who made Frank Lampard's header go too well'
Andy Gray commented with a bit of disappointment in his tone, because conceding too early might have turned the game completely into a one-sided situation, rather than a fierce battle between the two teams.
