Chapter 151: I used to play Messi

Pearson knew in his heart that replacing Rossi at this time would not change anything.

The opponent's strong strength is in front of him, and he has no extra opportunities to adjust, so it may be best to have a defensive player and stabilize the defense at this time.

But he was not reconciled, unwilling to be pressed to the ground by Chelsea for the rest of the game.

Pearson wants to score, at least at home, and not lose so ugly.

No. 23 Ulloa went down, No. 24 Rossi went up.

In this game, the Argentine striker did not have many opportunities to show in the offensive end.

He faced John Terry, the former captain of England and Chelsea, and it was difficult to take advantage.

After Rossi came on, the team's formation remained the same, and the defense was still in a 5-3-2 position.

When attacking, Albrighton move to a winger position and become 4-4-2.

Jamie Vardy will switch positions with Rossi and play as a central striker to draw in the defence.

Rossi became the shadow striker, lurking behind Jamie Vardy.

John Terry and Gary Cahill were solid defensively, but they lacked the nimble duo to keep a tight guard against Jamie Vardy.

As a result, Rossi, who retreated, had more movement and space to pick up the ball in the front court.

Albright held the ball along the flank, and when facing Eden Hazard's defence, he handed the ball to Rossi, who was active on this flank.

At this time, central defender Terry did not dare to attack easily, so as not to be attacked by Vardy, and the task of defending Rossi could only be handed over to Azpilicueta.

After successfully drawing the Chelsea full-backs out, Albrighton continued to cut forward, receiving the ball from Rossi and dribbling straight to the bottom line.

Hazard did not return to defend at the first time, so Cesar Azpilicueta had to abandon the defense of Rossi and block the attack on the flank.

Albrighton had two passing routes.

One is to pass to the door and create a threat.

The other is to give back to Rossi and ask him to organize an attack.

In the absence of a battle for the top, he decided to pass to Rossi, who arrived to pick him up.

Terry saw this and had to make a block.

Rossi glanced up at the ball, then gently rubbed the ball without stopping, passed Terry's defense, and flew towards the goal.

Vardy kicked in on a team-mate's pass and got in front of Cahill to get to the spot.

Fortunately, Cahill reacted quickly enough to follow up immediately, jumping at the same time as Vardy and having a physical confrontation in mid-air.

The defensive Cahill was very stealthy, affecting Vardy's balance and preventing him from heading the ball comfortably.

Jamie Vardy got to the back of the net but his header was disrupted and he was not on top of the target, and Cech was firmly on the ground with both hands.

Although there were no goals, the attack was a morale booster.

The home fans also saw the team's refusal to give up when they fell behind, and they were very infected and quickly became active again.

This dangerous situation in front of the goal made Mourinho very angry.

He yelled at Eden Hazard, and it was his failure to follow Albrighton in the first run that led to the opposition becoming a threat on the flank.

Hazard also looked a little aggrieved, his task is to attack, and it is rare to defend so deeply.

And with Nemanja Matic here, it is expected that the defense should be fine.

Sure enough, after scolding Hazard, Mourinho then took Matic and accused him of tightening the defensive on Rossi to reduce the defensive pressure on the central defenders.

In fact, Chelsea's defensive awareness began to loosen after the goal.

It's just that because the opponent's attack is not threatening, a lot of problems are hidden.

Rossi's appearance not only led the frontcourt attack, but his appearance was aimed at Chelsea's defensive loopholes.

Petr Cech tossed the ball to his team-mates and handed it to Cesc Fabregas to organise the attack.

Rossi, as a central striker, chose to defend against Cesc Fabregas for the first time.

This season, Cesc Fabregas left his childhood dream of Barcelona and returned to England.

But no one would have imagined that he would choose to join Chelsea rather than Arsenal, who made a name for himself.

When Chelsea visited the Emirates Stadium last time out, Cesc Fabregas was not welcomed by the home fans and was booed by the crowd.

Facing Rossi, for Cesc Fabregas, who has been famous in the Premier League for a long time, is not worth a damn at all.

Every year, a large number of fresh faces emerge in world football, all bearing the name of who will succeed and who will be the future king of the ball.

But how many can really stand on the football world and reach the expected height?

Especially a player like Rossi, who has risen for less than a season, will definitely be targeted by various teams next season, which is the most important factor to test whether he can become a star.

How much you brag now, how bad it will fall in the future.

Cesc Fabregas observed Ramirez rushing to pick up, using a feint to deceive Rossi's attention, then passed the ball to a teammate and ran quickly to get the pass.

By the time Rossi turned to chase back, his opponent had already used a precise through ball to hit Cambiasso behind.

When William flicked the ball forward with his right foot, he suddenly started, and the whole action was perfectly connected.

But Cambiaso, who is old in defense, has already consciously raised his defensive position, and at the moment when Willian activated, he put a tackle to cut the ball off.

Despite his age and slow pace, Cambiaso's prediction of the ball's position is quite accurate.

After getting up, he quickly passed the ball to the empty space behind Xiao Fa.

Rossi, who had been waiting for a long time, easily took the ball, and in the face of Nemanja Matic's supplementary defense, he first knocked the ball to the left with his heel, and after completing the change of direction, he took advantage of the weakness of the defender's slow return and sent the ball out with the outside of his right foot.

Jamie Vardy, who stepped forward to receive the ball, lost his balance in the physical confrontation with Terry, and his sweeping shot before falling to the ground also missed the post.

Although Lyicester City's two attacks did not score, they were enough to make Mourinho wary and immediately replaced Willian with Cuadrado.

In the winter window, the Colombian wing-back joined Chelsea for €31 million, behind Manchester City champion Boni.

Compared to Willian, his defensive awareness and interceptions will be better.

Lyicester City's attack on the right flank was clearly active after Rossi came on, and his tandem play up front was very obvious.

Eden Hazard is mainly responsible for attacking on the flanks, and letting him drop back too deep will affect the team's overall counter-attacking speed.

So, let Cuadrado, who is better at defending, drop back to defend and Hazard move to the middle, which can ensure that the defense is at the same time without losing the speed of the counterattack.

Moreover, Mourinho also took advantage of the substitution to call Azpilicueta to his side and explain the tactics in his ear.

Cambiaso, who was a key contributor to Jose Mourinho's treble win at Inter, saw through everything when he saw his former mentor explaining his tactics on the sidelines.

He walked up to Rossi, put his arm around his shoulders and whispered: "Rowe, be careful with the ball later, Azpilicueta will follow you." ”

Rosie was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said, "Okay, I'll be careful." ”

"Don't force the ball forward, return it when you don't have a chance, and I'll pick you up." Cambiaso admonished.

After the game resumed, Lyrcester City had the ball.

Drinkwater shook off space in midfield and passed the ball to Rossi.

At this point, Cesar Azpilicueta stepped forward to defend and pressed Rossi down the middle.

Albrighton saw the situation and cut forward behind Cesar Azpilicueta down the wing, only to be defended by Cuadrado.

Rossi observed that there were no passing opportunities at all.

"Be careful!"

Rossi suddenly woke up to Azpilicueta's scramble and was about to poke the ball with his outstretched foot.

On his other side, Nemanja Matic had already arrived to wrap up.

In the flash of light, Rossi first turned his back to Azpilicueta's onslaught, stretched out his left foot to firmly step on the ball, and lowered his center of gravity.

Cesar Azpilicueta didn't dare to push too hard and would have fouled him for a collision.

Nemanja Matic saw Rossi pinned down by his team-mates and swept with his right foot to cut off the ball.

Unexpectedly, Rossi pulled the ball back at a faster pace, flicked the ball behind him with his right foot, and pulled the ball out of the bag between the two.

After seeing Cambiaso rushing to pick up, he hurriedly passed the ball to his teammates in front of the opponent's second round of packing.

It's dangerous!

Rosie was secretly frightened, if it hadn't been for Commander Kan's reminder just now, I am afraid that this ball would have been lost.

He looked to the sidelines and saw Mourinho with his hands in his trouser pockets, calmly watching what was happening on the field.

In his opinion, it is really simple to guard against Rosie.

The full-backs defend closely, forcing the attacking players into a dense area in the middle, and the full-backs drop back to act as full-backs to prevent opponents from crossing.

This set of defensive tactics is exactly the tactic he used to limit Messi in the semi-finals of the Champions League against the universe team Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

Boy, Lao Tzu even managed to deal with Messi before, what are you?

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
