"Poor bastard, go back to your North London!"

"The Premier League title belongs to Chelsea!"

"London belongs to Chelsea!"

"Stinky nouveau riche who doesn't have the Champions League dare to shout?!"

"Money can't buy the Champions League!"

November 30, 2006, the fifteenth round of the Premier League.

On a rainy day, the Stamford Bridge stadium is crowded.

The London derby hadn't even started, and despite the heavy rain, the fans on both sides in the stands were already arguing, and both sides were blushing and scolding each other.

"Oh, old Jack, Stamford Bridge is still very lively today."

The boos were deafening, and in the bleachers commentary seats, Lineker, a BBC celebrity in a suit and headphones, smiled and looked at Old Jack next to him.

Silver-haired old Jack smiled: "Of course, who doesn't expect Arsenal and Chelsea to meet city rivals? And they are now third and first in the league points, and the outcome of this game will even affect the final champion! ”

'Yes, while it's just halfway through the season and it's still too early to talk about the title, Chelsea is a hurdle for any team that has been aiming to win the Premier League.

'Indeed, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have been so consistent in the league, losing just five games in 76 games in two seasons since he landed in the Premier League in 2004 and 14 games and 90 games so far this season!'

"It's outrageously stable indeed. And it's not just about the standings, it's also about Mourinho's future. But. To be honest, I think Chelsea are too him, after all, he led the team to the Premier League title for the second time. ”

'It's a great honour to win the Premier League in a row, but you have to know that Chelsea have also spent the most money in the world over the past two seasons, and that money adds up to even more than it did before the Liverpool acquisition. So, I think it's understandable that both their fans and their owners want the Champions League. ”

"It's a pity."

The commentary is rambling.

On the sidelines, Wenger sat under the canopy of the bench, looked at Mourinho, who was standing in the rain next to him with resolute eyes, and shook his head slightly.

There is a give-and-take, and all the seemingly glamorous things have actually been marked with a price behind them.

Jose Mourinho has received a lot of money at Chelsea that all coaches can only dream of, but at the cost of not having enough voice and a lot of pressure to lead the team.

The Premier League has won two consecutive titles, which is already very good in Wenger's opinion, but Chelsea owner Abou is still not satisfied and hopes to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, not only the results, but also the style of play.

Jose Mourinho is very typical of defensive counter-attacks.

If it sounds good, it is a defensive counterattack, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a bus, and the scene is not good-looking.

As the saying goes, defense wins the title, attack wins the fans, but Chelsea have not won the all-important Champions League title right now, and they can't attract fans as fast as Arsenal and Manchester United.

It's deadly.

For Abu, a Maozi oligarch whose worth can no longer be described as money, and who almost controls part of the country's economic lifeline, he doesn't care about money at all, what he wants is international influence.

"Still. The striker of 50 million euros said that he would buy it, and I don't know when I will be able to be relieved. ”

Wenger had some envy in his eyes, but not too much envy.

Mourinho has been using the 433 formation since 04, with Joe Cole, Drogba and Robben on the front, but this summer window Abu forcibly bought Shepchenko from AC Milan for 50 million despite Mourinho's objections.

There is no doubt that the nuclear warhead Shepchenko is a world-class striker, with fast speed and good skills, and his finishing ability is also very strong, but he is only 1.83 meters tall, and he is not a power fulcrum striker, and he cannot fight for a header in the middle alone like Drogba, or he can frame the opposing defender as a bridgehead in the frontcourt.

To put it simply, Shepchenko is not a good fit for Chelsea's style of play, and he can't play as a winger.

"Kick 442 instead? In that case, what are you going to do with Xiao Mo? ”

Sitting on the sidelines with the sound of rain and the sound of rain, Wenger's mind kept thinking.

Not long after, as the on-site commentator chanted the names of the players, a group of players ran out of the players' tunnel amid the cheers of the fans.

.

"That old man Mourinho was driven crazy by their boss?."

Letting the heavy raindrops fall on his shoulders and stretching his thighs near the center circle, Chen Mo looked at the Chelsea generals opposite.

At this glance, he raised his eyebrows strangely.

442, and 442 in parallel positions.

- Shepchenko, Drogba -

Ballack, Essien, Lampard, Robben.

Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho, Grami.

Every player in this squad is very strong individually, and almost all of them are in the top five in the world at the same position.

But how can this be kicked?!

Not to mention that the central combination of Essien and Lampard is difficult to defend him Chen Mo while taking into account the attack, just this Ballack playing fullback directly gave Chen Mo a stunned.

What is a full-back, a full-back is, to put it bluntly, a winger with a weakened attack but a more comprehensive defensive organization, but in any case, the wingers need to have a certain degree of individual breakthrough ability, otherwise they will not be able to pull out space for the middle players.

But Barak ???

Chen Mo had a black question mark on his face.

It is true that Ballack is a top midfielder, but he has no ability to break through, or even the ability to advance with the ball, and the scoring comes from inserting without the ball.

"Wait, Ashley Cole behind him, should they."

Chen Mo, who had just thought of something, frowned, and at this moment, the referee also blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Chelsea possession, right-to-left.

At the start of the game, Drogba played the ball straight back to Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard is a very typical English midfielder, who can attack and defend, and has a good ability to threaten the ball through ball, but he is not fine enough at his feet, and has almost no ability to get rid of one-on-one except for physical resistance.

has been an opponent for two years, so he naturally understands the characteristics of the other party, Chen Mo did not hesitate, and went directly to the top as soon as possible.

Sure enough, in the face of Chen Mo's pressing, Lampard didn't make any extra moves, resisted Chen Mo with his left hand sideways, picked up his right foot and drove the ball forward to find Robben, the right midfielder who had already stepped forward!

The ball was fired like a cruise missile down the left side of Arsenal.

Blitz at the start!

But Arsenal, who knew that Chelsea could not possess the ball at all, were prepared.

Before Robben could reach the spot, left wing-back Chiellini had already finished his position, directly relying on his strength to jam Robben, unload the ball with his chest, and then knock the ball to Modric who responded.

Arsenal's attacking and defensive transitions were sharp, and Modric wanted to counter-attack the moment he got the ball, but before the ball rolled to his feet, he looked sideways at the front of the field and was speechless.

Swing the bus!

It was obviously a forward pass, but except for the forward double arrow and Robben, the other players did not step forward to join the attack, but directly retreated to the half to defend.

"Surrendered the ball in the first three seconds. It's Chelsea. ”

'Haha, that's why a lot of fans think Chelsea can win games, but it's not good-looking, their style is too passive.'

'Yes, but you have to say tactically it's good for Chelsea not to keep the ball. Neither Frank Lampard, nor Essien nor Ballack are the kind of players who can keep the ball back and forth in midfield.

They all need to rush up and play, and Mourinho's very deep defence will force the opposition to press hard, and in this way, they can get more space to sprint behind the opposition, so Mourinho's counter-attacking tactics have strictly helped them make up for their shortcomings. ”

The commentary is rambling.

Indeed, the role of tactics is to amplify the abilities of players or to compensate for certain shortcomings.

A typical case is Barcelona, who can not only maximize their players' passing and running ability, but also rely on wide space behind them and two wings to use the "yo-yo" tactic because of high pressing.

But there is no perfect tactic in the world, the premise of Barcelona's tactic is to have absolute possession, and for Chelsea, which defends and counterattacks, the premise of the tactic is to be able to defend!

'Chelsea have more points than us and they can accept a draw in this game, but we have to beat them in this game if we want to win the title!'

"Still. You can't do it brutely. ”

Constantly holding the ball in the front of the center circle, Chen Mo kept thinking in his mind, and his eyes kept moving over the Chelsea players while passing the ball.

Eventually, under the watchful eyes of the fans, he began to move to the right, towards Ballack's side!
