One hundred and fifty-one, time and tolerance
"Panucci has rushed to the line of the Newcastle penalty area and passes the ball - oops! The ball flew directly over the penalty area, no one touched the ball, and the football flew off the bottom line! ”
Newcastle's pressing quickly made Parker and Stanich dumbfounded, and Lynn immediately added Panucci to the assist, and he didn't believe Newcastle could block so many attacking points.
The effect was immediate, with Panucci's wide attack being resolute, and although there were no shots on goal on several occasions in a row, it greatly intimidated Newcastle.
Defensively, Newcastle completely abandoned the wings, and continued to strengthen the attack in the middle, Emre was very active in breaking through and organising, Shearer was on top of Chelsea's defence, and if it were not for the command of the equally experienced Desailly, Chelsea's defence would be really dangerous.
"Both sides want to take the initiative and both want to contain the opponent's attack. But no one can succeed. ”
The game fell into a strange circle, with Chelsea desperately looking for a breakthrough from both flanks, attacking at a decent level, and Newcastle's defensive focus was also on the wings.
Newcastle, in turn, have a central focus in the middle, where Chelsea's defensive strength lies.
It is equivalent to that both sides are forced to use their biggest liliang to fight each other's strongest place.
The situation has been at a stalemate.
The two sides went back and forth on the pitch, the pace of the transition between attack and defense was fast, and at the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 0:0, which was a helpless score.
In the second half, although Lynn and Robson both wanted to make some changes in the lineup adjustment and tactical combination to change the situation on the court.
It's just that the tactical ideas of the two people collided again, and neither could help the opponent.
In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Jokanovic's pass was broken. Emre sends a through ball straight away!
Alan Shearer embodied the role of a superstar, leaning on Desailly. Suddenly, Van der Sar, who was caught off guard, made a save. But Shearer's shot was huge.
Newcastle United, playing away, took the lead.
Sudden silence fell on Stefort Bridge.
Blues fans who had already cheered desperately for the team into the half-time had a hard time accepting the outcome.
Lynn cursed in his heart, but he stood calmly on the sidelines, pressed down with his hands, and told the players not to panic, continue to keep their tactics unchanged, continue to put pressure on the opponent, and not rush up.
In that case, Newcastle United will surely seize the opportunity to fight back behind them, and a rout will be inevitable.
"Goodjohnsen---alas. He ran through! ”
"Beautiful--Anelka, oh! The football is shoveled out of the bottom line, corner kick! ”
"Panucci breaks through again, passes the ball--"
'The Chelsea players are still a bit rusty with each other, they have wasted too many attacking opportunities and if it goes on like this, the results are not good!'
Because it was the first game, almost all of Chelsea's hierarchy were present in the box, including the titular owner, Ms Helena Bernard.
The director's camera constantly switches between Lynn and Helena. Sometimes Robin is brought with him, and the intention is obvious, if Chelsea lose their first game, will the hand-picked manager still be safe?
'Chelsea were the first substitution. Michael Carrick replaces Jokanovic, a veteran of Coach John, and perhaps he will have a better understanding of Coach Lynn John's tactics. However, time is really running out. Ten minutes left at most. ”
No one could have imagined that it would be this substitution that would save Chelsea's debut.
As the game ticked close to 90 minutes, the Blues fans were still singing as the Blues went forward. But a lot of people don't have much hope for the game anymore.
"Wow! The ball ―――――― in! Anelka! Oh! It's so fast! With a minute to go, the game went into stoppage time and Chelsea equalised! Oh! The narrator screamed frantically.
“YeaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” The Chelsea fans burst into earth-shattering cheers!
What an unexpected surprise!
Just when the dying man suddenly grasped a straw that could continue to survive.
Anelka, who scored the goal, also showed a rare smile, turned to meet his teammates, and accepted the congratulations of his teammates.
Lynn just clenched his fists with both hands and didn't make any more moves.
But it was really cheerful on the bench.
'The man was also credited with Michael Carrick, who had just been substituted, and his precise pass helped Nicolas Anelka leave the Newcastle defence behind in one fell swoop, with Coach John's substitution playing a crucial role.
'Of course, it was a fluke, and if it weren't for the Newcastle players being too relaxed, it would have been difficult for Chelsea to get such a chance, and although the two sides are now drawn, Chelsea are not better than Newcastle, or even as good as the visitors.
The final score was 1-1, and the home team Chelsea did not perform well, and if it were not for Newcastle's lack of attacking tools and giving Chelsea a lot of breathing time, Chelsea could have suffered their first defeat of the season.
After the game, Lynn did not criticize his players, in the face of such a result, Lynn was not angry, but very calmly said that the team's performance was not satisfactory, which was expected before the game, and it was not surprising, "The fans must not ask more for a team that has changed more than half of its main players this summer, of course, it is our duty to perform well, but I implore the fans to give Chelsea some time, the team needs time and tolerance"
'I'm already glad to get a point, so please be patient and we're going to get better and better, I promise.'
A reporter was still about to provoke, raised his hand and asked, "Does the team's poor performance have anything to do with Ronaldo's inability to play due to injury?" ”
Lynn glanced at the reporter, secretly remembered his face in his heart, and then turned around to settle the account, this guy was not well-intentioned, "There are twenty-three main players in Chelsea, and each of them is the main force in my mind, so the team's poor performance has nothing to do with the players, in addition to objective factors, there is also my command problem, and of course, the opponent is very strong."
In fact, before Anelka's goal, Lynn even planned to accept the loss in his heart, even if he paid for the team's reconstruction, but he didn't expect that the flash of the two players at Zuihou moment would pull the Blues back who had fallen off the cliff.
The media reaction was also not beyond Lynn's expectations, almost all of them were criticism, and most of the reports were almost full of ridicule of Chelsea's £200 million investment!
In their words, the Blues' debut was 'disappointing' and even 'not as good as last season'.
"Newcastle were too careless and let Chelsea escape from death, maybe it was the mercy of Coach Robson, but next time, Chelsea can't win the league with good luck, right?"
"Tens of millions of pounds of transfer funds have not made Chelsea much stronger, and 30 million pounds of aliens can only be anxious for the team from the stands"
If it weren't for the fear of the players' morale being affected and the looming second game, Lynn wouldn't have said anything about it.
Most of these articles are taken out of context, and the concept is secretly changed, the purpose is to win attention, it seems that Chelsea is about to be completely finished, and those who do not understand the truth are absolutely shocked.
However, after returning to training, Lynn noticed a dull atmosphere in the team, and he quickly knew why, Desailly, the player-coach, made his first contribution, and he was very good at mastering the mentality of the players.
'You're in a bad mood and I'm not good either, but if you're down because of the words of those bitch-bitched so-called experts, that's wrong, what kind of virtue they are, we all know that with a good win, these people will immediately change their stance and cheer for Chelsea's victory, so to hell with their words.'
The second game is away to West Ham United, and Lynn is helpless about the schedule, perhaps because England are going to play the Shijie Cup qualifiers, and this season's schedule can definitely make people crazy.
With just two days to go, Chelsea were heading into the game and there was no time for Lynn to adjust and improve.
The result of the match was also a bit disappointing, still 1:1.
It was the opposition who scored first, with Frank Lampard's goal quickly equalising.
With two consecutive draws in the new season, Chelsea are in the relegation zone, which is of little significance at this time, but it is not good.
The media is even more cheerful now, and this time they have begun to question Lynn's wing offensive tactics, 'Simple and crude tactics, under the bottom of efficiency, has the good luck of the new coach run out?' ’
In order to avoid shaking confidence within his squad, Lynn invited members of the coaching staff to a pub for a drink, where he insisted that the tactics of attacking from the flanks were definitely not outdated, but the trend of the future, and the problem for Chelsea now is that many of the tactical details are not yet familiar to the players, and the coordination and positioning have not yet been played.
As long as the players get used to the new tactics and the level of chemistry deepens, Chelsea will be able to play a role.
Three days later, Chelsea continued to take on Southampton away.
In the starting lineup, Lynn made minor adjustments, and Dorai replaced Le Sox as the main left back, because Le Sox has always been a deficiency in assists, resulting in Lynn's wing attack is always unbalanced, and Lynn has to give up the idea of seeking stability and make substitutions!
In midfield, Michael Carrick also started and all three youngsters who had followed Lynn from Watford were on the pitch for Chelsea for the first time.
'Oh - incredible breakthrough, Chelsea defender Dorai, beautiful! Very resolute in-cut, pass -- GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! Frank Lampard! Frank ―――――― Frank Lampard!! ”
"Anelka catches the ball! Shook past the opponent and ―――――― the goalkeeper ―――――― the goal!! 2:0! Even before the end of the first half, Chelsea scored two beautiful goals! Southampton is in danger! (To be continued......)
