691 is not Mourinho
"Look at our 'Bambi'."
Anelka crossed Erlang's legs, and when Boas couldn't sit down, he smiled and talked to Drogba and Malouda. Bambi is Boas's nickname because he loves to be alive and kicking during games. In the beginning, it was not a derogatory term. At the time, I just gave him a nice nickname, but I didn't expect that screaming and screaming now became sarcastic.
Now Anelka is a real broken jar. Both Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba have a lot of affection for Chelsea, so although they have been suppressed by Villas-Boas, they still hope that Villas-Boas can let them play.
But Anelka no longer had such an idea. The first person to be suppressed by Boas was Anelka, so Anelka and Boas were already completely torn apart. Anelka couldn't even make the squad, and he was really disgusted with Boas. In addition, Anelka's personality is not good, so he doesn't care about Boas and goes his own way in the dressing room.
"Nikolai, I heard you're leaving Chelsea in the winter."
Malouda looked boredly, left and right, and then asked Anelka. Anelka didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Well, there has been news recently. I don't want to see 'Bambi' for a day anyway. ”
Anelka has been suppressed and has started to make contact with other clubs. Of course, Boas also wants Anelka to get out of the way. Therefore, the two sides have a very tacit understanding.
When the two of them brag and fart, the game officially begins. Villas-Boas is still very stubborn, and since coming to Chelsea, Villas-Boas has used an oppressive style of play. Didn't know how to work around at all. But the biggest problem is that the Chelsea players are not equipped to play this kind of pressing play. In particular, the configuration of the Chelsea backline is definitely not a team that can play an pressing style of play.
"Mikel, pass to Meireles. Meireles, dribbling break, Lucas...... Lucas was in a very good position and Lucas broke the ball for Mereles. ”
Villas-Boas took the likes of Frank Lampard and Malouda, and played pressing play in midfield. As a result, players such as Meireles and Ramirez are very forward.
However, Liverpool themselves are not afraid of this style of play. In particular, Simeone's team was originally designed to emphasize running ability and defensive positioning. Simeone's team, although different from Jose Mourinho's, is also very defensive. Especially the full-court tight defense. Wants to be a player for Simeone. First of all, you must have good physical strength to be able to run all over the field. Therefore, Chelsea's pressing style of play is difficult to score against Liverpool.
"Lucas, long pass!"
When Lucas played in the Brazilian league. It's still a great player with great technique and good passing. Players who don't even shoot badly. But when I got to Chelsea. It's already been transformed into a midfielder. The defense is still very strong. However, he didn't waste his passing ability.
"Royce, Royce got the ball. Reuss, cross! ”
Originally, Royce received the ball. Bosingwa thought Reuss was going to break through. For Royce, breaking through has always been his toughest tactic. Bosingwa didn't rush forward because he knew that Royce was explosive and fast. Once he is given a chance, he will break through.
But it was precisely because Bosingwa did not come forward to block that Reus had space to pass. It's just a cross. Reus is a right-footed player, but his left foot is not weak at all. Left-footed passing, left-footed possession, left-footed crossing, none of which were a problem for Reuss.
"Sturridge, Sturridge cut in from the right."
Pressing style of play, the highest demand for the backline. Barcelona also play an oppressive style, so as long as they concede a goal in the front court, they will go crazy in front of the counter-attack. Because of this oppression, I am most afraid of fighting back. Even if Barcelona is the peak of Dream Three, he is very afraid of counterattacking. Barcelona also have a good defender like Puyol at the back.
But Chelsea are different. Chelsea's centre-back duo is John Terry and Alex, both of whom are very strong in frontal defence but are not quick to turn around or chase back. Originally, with their strong frontal defensive ability, as long as they are well arranged, they are the best center-back combination in the Premier League.
But now they are playing oppressively, and their weakness is infinitely expanded. As it is, a good manager can cover up the weaknesses of his players with excellent tactics. However, some coaches have magnified the weaknesses of their players. Historically, Mourinho used the combination of Lucio and Samuel to cover up Lucio's weaknesses at Inter.
And it's like Torres. Torres has the strengths of being fast, good technique and good shooting, but he also has his own weaknesses. The biggest weakness is the poor ability to carry the ball with his back, which is why Torres is not a complete center forward like Drogba. It needs the support of a midfielder, a tactic that suits him. In the past, whether it was Bianchi or Pellegrini, it was the most suitable tactic for Torres.
Villas-Boas was not able to do that at Chelsea. Because it was a sudden counter-attack, the Chelsea defence was very far up front. Reus's cross this time was right behind Terry and Alex. Sturridge was quick, cut in from the right and got the ball off offside.
"Sturridge, it's a single knife!"
Neither Terry nor Alex are speed defenders, so once they let Sturridge go, they will never be able to catch up with him. Sturridge is twenty-two years old, and his biggest characteristics are his speed and good technique. But his biggest weakness is Du. However, when it comes to single knives, it is not so particular.
"Cech, get out of the door."
Cech really complained in his heart. Even when Carlo Ancelotti was manager, Cech had never been so powerless. Since Villas-Boas played pressing, Cech has been very far away from the defenders. Jean Cech is really helpless.
Chelsea, who had been very defensively excellent this season, were constantly counter-attacked by their opponents. Petr Cech doesn't know how many times he's been single-handed. Although Cech was slandered, he could only choose to attack. If this kind of single knife does not attack, then there is no chance.
"Sturridge. It's fast. He shook Cech's way. ”
"Empty door, empty door."
For players with explosive power and speed, it is very easy to shake off the attacking goalkeeper. Sturridge is just that kind of player. Although Cech is a world-class goalkeeper, Sturridge just accelerated and dribbled past Cech.
"Sturridge, shoot!"
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Twelve minutes into the game, Liverpool were 1-0 up at Chelsea. It's all too familiar now, and it's been a lot of time in Chelsea games this season. We really don't understand why Coach Boas hasn't changed at all. In the first few rounds, facing Arsenal, who lacked major generals, they were also defeated in this way. ”
For the narrator. Chelsea this season is too unfamiliar. Although it started with Mourinho. Chelsea have had a lot of coaches and each has a different style. But Chelsea's defence has always been good, and Mourinho's legacy is quite strong. But since Villas-Boas arrived at Chelsea this season, Chelsea's defence has become a papier-mâché. One dozen and one accurate. World-class centre-backs like John Terry have become big colanders. Behind being beaten countless times by opponents.
Boas waved his hands and feet angrily on the sidelines. Facing problems is not about finding a way to change. Instead, Villas-Boas believes it was the Chelsea players who were not pressing resolutely. So let Chelsea keep pressing. Start pressing the opponent from the front.
Simeone looked at Boas and sneered in his heart. Villas-Boas has a reputation as 'Mourinho's second', but not in controlling the dressing room. Even in terms of tactical ability and adaptability, Mourinho is a notch behind. There is a top wing like Di Maria on the wing, and if Simeone were to choose, he would choose Drogba, a strong centre-forward.
And pairing Drogba with Aguero, a fast and skilled little striker, is a perfect match. When the time comes, Drogba will be used against the opposing back line, and Aguero will be in the back, what a good combination. But I don't know what kind of nerves Boas had to suppress Drogba.
Liverpool are not in a hurry or slow, they are looking for mistakes in Chelsea's frontcourt. Chelsea's frontcourt is not Barcelona after all, and even Barcelona's frontcourt will make mistakes. Not to mention the Chelsea players.
"Di Maria, cross!"
Di Maria's cross is a very good skill for him. Di Maria's crosses are not only good in arc, but also in terms of power. When I was at Real Madrid, I didn't know with Cristiano. How many times Ronaldo has played beautiful combinations. It's a pity that at Chelsea now, his ability is almost useless. Because Aguero up front is not a centre-forward player in English football, crosses are basically useless. Compared to his height, Aguero's heading ability is not weak. But it was almost impossible to get a header between Subotic and Carragher.
"Subertic, put the ball out. Lucas, hands the ball to Steven Gerrard. ”
"Gerrard, direct pass!"
"Lewandowski, anti-offside, Lewandowski's anti-offside. Terry and Alex, they can't keep up with Lewandowski. This is another one-knives. ”
Lewandowski is not a speed striker like Henry or Owen, but his explosiveness and speed are not slow at all. Especially against Terry and Alex, they have an advantage.
"Lewandowski, shoot!"
Unlike Sturridge, who used his speed to get past the goalkeeper, Lewandowski fired a low shot.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Two to zero, two to zero. Liverpool are already 2-0 up at Chelsea, with John Terry and Alex already playing back twice. Chelsea's defence became a sieve. ”
Terry saw Lewandowski score and couldn't help but go up and kick the ball into the sky. John Terry has been in the Chelsea first team for more than a decade and this season has been the most humiliating for him. After being beaten by countless people. His high-altitude defensive ability and frontal defensive ability can't play any of these advantages. On the contrary, he was beaten countless times and was praised by the media as a big colander. Terry really felt wronged.
"Boas has a poor win rate at the moment and I don't know how much time I can hold on."
Rist shook his head as he looked at Boas, who couldn't sit still on the sidelines and was bouncing around like a monkey. Originally, when Boas first came to Chelsea, it can be said that Chelsea had high expectations. It started well as well, with six wins in the first eight rounds, which was touted by a lot of media at the time. It's a pity that Boas soon revealed the nature of parallel goods, and he lost six games before the end of the half-season.
'With a win rate of less than 50 per cent, it's a no-pass for a team like Chelsea. I'm hanging my life now, and class will be out soon. ”
"Huh. Mourinho is second, not Mourinho after all. ”
In European football, as long as it is said that "so-and-so is second", there are few who really succeed in the end. Boas? Hehe. (To be continued......)
