Chapter 233: This Is Dominance (Ask for Subscription)
As an academic coach, it is natural to see what Jose's layout idea is.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mourinho came to the training ground with his notebook.
He first called in a few assistant coaches and then divided the first-team players into two teams, one of which was undoubtedly the main candidate for the 343 formation proposed by Jose.
As for the other side, the remaining players and assistant coaches form a sparring team.
And just like that, an intra-team confrontation began.
In the end, in the 45-minute confrontation match, Jose easily crushed the opponent 3-0.
As it turned out, José was right in his thinking.
Jose Mourinho is one of the top coaches in football today, and he has once again found a new formation change based on Jose's thinking.
For example, let the two full-backs drop back to form a 523 formation.
Or let Azpilicueta retreat alone and change the formation to a 433 formation.
In the end, Willian can also be allowed to drop back into midfield, with Hazard and Costa in front of them, forming a 352 formation with all attack and defense.
Chelsea's experimentation with a change of formation is just getting started, and the second round of the Champions League group stage is about to begin.
On September 29, Jose Mourinho led his team to the Stadio d'Oro to challenge his former club Porto away.
In this game, Mourinho put on a 343 formation for the first time, Terry rarely returned to the starting line-up, and Ivan sat on the bench, the specific list is as follows.
Goalkeeper: Jose.
Defenders: Cahill, Terry, Zouma.
Midfielders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, Ramirez.
Forwards: Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, Pedro.
In addition, there were Willian, Baba, Mikel, and Zike on the bench.
As soon as Mourinho's lineup was announced, Porto coach Julen Lopetegui was obviously upset, because in order to target Mourinho, he put out a lineup of 4411.
The goalkeeper position was filled by Casilla, who moved on a free transfer in the summer.
The back four are Indy, Marcano, McConn and Maxi Pereira.
The midfield four is made up of Implah, Ruben Neves, Danilo Pereira, and Andre Andrea.
Up front, Aboubakar was up front, while Brahimi was behind him.
The biggest feature of Porto's squad is its youth, with the exception of Casilla and Maxi Pereira, the rest of the players are under the age of 30.
And Ruben Neves is only 18 years old, the youngest player on the field.
In Porto, Jose Mourinho won the first Champions League title of his managerial career.
For Mourinho, Porto is as important in his heart as Villa is in José, where they started.
There was an interesting scene at the Stadio de la Dragon, where the fans of Porto behaved very well towards the madmen who returned to their old places as enemies.
Before the start of the game, they gave Mourinho a round of applause.
Porto kicks off first in the centre circle.
They attacked directly down the flanks of Chelsea.
However, when Cesar Azpilicueta and Ramirez returned to defence, Chelsea were transformed into a back five.
Porto wanted to attack from the flanks and it became extremely difficult.
And because of the solid backline, Hazard and Pedro no longer need to retreat to defend.
Seeing that attacking from the flanks would not work, Porto began to look for ways to infiltrate the middle.
With just the presence of three centre-backs and Nemanja Matic's interception in midfield, it will not be easy for them to break into the Chelsea penalty area.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Brahimi suddenly opted for a long-range shot from outside the box.
It's a pity, how can a long-range shot from outside the penalty area threaten Jose? Not to mention that Jose has a plug-in, even with Jose's reflexes, it is enough to deal with most of the long-range shots.
If you add to this the god-level predictions that take effect from time to time, Jose is like a wall of sighs standing in front of the goal.
So, Brahimi's shot, Jose easily confiscated.
After winning the ball, Jose kicked the goal kick with a big kick for the first time.
With a "bang", the ball crossed the midfield in an instant and then fell to Hazard.
Hazard accelerated slightly, and immediately formed a single sword.
The fans who watched the game were stunned on the spot.
This counterattack speed is also too perverted.
A few seconds ago, it was Porto's chance to score, but it was followed by a solo effort from Eden Hazard.
Who believes this kind of thing?
The goalkeeper kicks the ball and the winger directly forms a single knife, this tactic is not something that no one has thought of, but to achieve this tactic, two conditions must be met.
The first condition is that the wingers are always in attack. It's nothing, the vast majority of teams can do it.
The second condition is the most critical, and that is that the goalkeeper's long passes must be extremely accurate.
In today's world, there are many excellent goalkeepers, but goalkeepers who can deliver a precise long pass are not rare, but there are no at all.
A goalkeeper who doesn't practice saving well, but practices passing and practicing free kicks, will be said to be unprofessional.
In the blink of an eye, Hazard had already taken the ball to the left side of the opponent's penalty area.
Casillas faced Hazard's one-on-one ball and made a decisive interception.
It's just that with Casillas's interception ability, how can he stop Hazard.
I saw Hazard buckle with his left foot, suddenly changed direction, and easily passed Casillas.
In the face of an empty goal, Hazard did not miss.
1 to 0.
Less than two minutes into the game, Chelsea relied on the 'Hoza Connection' to take the lead with ease.
Porto's players were a little confused at this point.
It's not uncommon for a goalkeeper to take a goal kick and get an assist, but it's rare for him to get an assist from inside the box like Jose.
Surprisingly, less than three minutes into the opening period, Porto once again kicked off in the centre circle.
This time, Porto changed the direction of attack and they tried to attack from the left.
Ramirez is not a full-back, so the Porto players believe it should be easier to attack from the left than from the right.
However, when they saw Cahill attacking and teaming up with Ramirez, they realized that their ideas were too simplistic.
This time, Porto failed to form a shot and the ball was at the feet of the Chelsea players.
Cesc Fabregas advanced down the middle and faced Porto's stacked midfielders, who had the option of passing the ball to Pedro on the side.
On the right side of the Porto penalty area, Pedro and Ramirez combined with each other to easily penetrate the opponent's defence.
Ramirez crosses from the right.
In the box, Costa and Eden Hazard have been outflanked.
In the end, Costa headed home, but unfortunately it was a little higher.
The game continues.
In the 15th minute, Eden Hazard combined with Cesar Azpilicueta on the left flank.
Shake off Maxi Pereira's interception and pass straight through the middle.
From 10 yards out, Costa volleyed.
The ball went in again.
With a two-goal lead early, the winner or loser of this game can be said to have no suspense.
Just before half-time, Pedro added another goal.
The three strikers, each scoring one goal, can be said to have killed the game directly.
In the second half, Mourinho began to make changes early in the game.
Zike got his chance to play and Pedro enjoyed a round of applause from the fans.
Since then, Porto have attacked on a number of occasions, but they have not had much to do against Chelsea's back five.
Occasionally, they found opportunities to break into the penalty area, but their shots in front of Jose were either off target or sent directly into Jose's arms, and they did not threaten Jose at all.
Just before the break, substitute Willian scored again to give Chelsea another 4-0.
[The task is completed, congratulations to the host for getting the points doubled reward, and your base points will be increased to 16,000 points.] 】
When the referee's final whistle blew, the system settled the reward on time.
This time, José looked at the system light curtain and smiled with satisfaction.
After the game, Hazard got the highest score of the game, while Jose was close behind.
José didn't pay much attention to this.
José believes that in the eyes of a discerning person, it will definitely be able to see who is the most important one.
In fact, in this game, Chelsea could have won more, but considering that Porto was Mourinho's former team, they did not go all out to suppress the opponent.
For a game like this, it was only later discovered that Chelsea could still easily win again, even if it were to be repeated.
The backline led by Jose is too solid.
Jose, Cesc Fabregas, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Ramirez can all send a steady stream of cannonballs to the front three, and it will not be easy to stop them from scoring.
Maybe that's the dominance of the strong team.
After returning from Portugal, José was ready to go back to school.
Wang Churan failed to get her driver's license before school started, so José naturally became her full-time driver.
The relationship between the two has also warmed up rapidly.
José was extremely happy about this.
Of course, Jose occasionally thinks of Asuka Saito, but Asuka never responds to José's messages.
If it weren't for the occasional news of Asuka on the Internet, José would have thought that what he had experienced before was just a dream.
Jose doesn't know what kind of feelings he has for Asuka Saito, maybe it's because of his unfulfilled lovers.
"I'm really a scumbag." José laughed to himself.
Bah.
…
When October came, the new semester began, and Jose suddenly found that all the classmates around him had changed.
The professional class he was in became 21 because of him.
Yes, the number of students in a class at Oxford University is only one or twenty people, which is really a world away from the large classrooms of as many as 300 people in China.
Maybe it's because of the small number of students, the tutor knows every student well, and they take good care of Jose, a player student who has been suspended for a year, and will repeat every knowledge point to Jose.
As a Chinese student, Jose's learning ability is absolutely outstanding, and he doesn't need to be repeated by his tutor at all, he has already understood it.
In this way, Jose returned to school in the morning to study, went to Cobham to train in the afternoon, and went to school to pick up Wang Churan in the evening.
This weekend, the 8th round of the Premier League continues.
Chelsea host Southampton.
In the end, Chelsea came close to replicating the midweek game against Porto.
Jose set up Pedro to break the deadlock, before Cesc Fabregas picked up a leak in front of goal before Willian slotted home from a free-kick.
Chelsea won 3-0 at home.
Chelsea are finally back in power.
After the game, Jose met a group of uninvited guests in the reception room at Stamford Bridge.
Recruitment:
I need ten Chinese male names, all of which will appear in this book.
If you have an idea, you can send me a private message through the author group.
