Section 895 Opening of the finals

(Cat flutter Chinese) "Rafa, seeing the current Real Madrid and Chelsea face off in the Champions League, do you have a feeling of regret for not being at the beginning?"

The Champions League final is about to begin, and the commentary of La Liga is still carried out by the invited Spanish coaches. And this time, in addition to the former Real Madrid coach, the German Schuster, there is also the Liverpool manager, the Spaniard Benitez.

Speaking of which, these two are both coaches of the Real Madrid department, but they are not quite the same as usual. However, since Real Madrid has entered the final, it is natural that other coaches will not be allowed to spoil the scenery. Both of them know Real Madrid well enough and Rafael Benitez knows Chelsea well enough to be a commentator.

However, as soon as the commentator came up and asked questions, Benitez was quite unable to get off the stage.

Liverpool sold Zhao Yaning, and in the first year, they spent money to buy Torres, and in the second year, they really began to pull out a dime. This year's league, Liverpool fell short again, losing to Manchester United, only finishing second in the league, and the Champions League and FA Cup were out early, and there was no hope. And at this time, watching Zhao Yaning lead Real Madrid to flourish and directly become one of the strongest teams in the world from the Champions League 16 Lang, such a thing, in the eyes, how can people not feel embarrassed. It was originally his own team and his own glory, but he sold people for some nonsense reasons. And the current boss is even more indefatigable, and when he encounters this situation, he is forced to talk about his feelings, is this forcing Benitez to scold?

'It's a choice for the team and there's nothing I can do. Benitez muttered, diverting the subject, "However, it's also a good thing that Real Madrid has become stronger." The main focus of this game is to see how Real Madrid can break down Chelsea's defence. Chelsea's defense is one of the best teams in the world, and they are actually the hardest bone for Real Madrid to gnaw down against Real Madrid. ”

'So, do you think Chelsea are strong?'

"Of course." Benitez nodded, "In the first half of the season, Chelsea didn't play well. This has to do with the serious injuries of Carvalho and Essien, but also with the position clashes of the players caused by their misguided signings. But in the second half of the season, Deco and Carvalho were abandoned, the Portuguese gang was abandoned, Essien returned, and at the same time, the strength of Alex and Chelsea returned. Against Liverpool, they haven't found their full form yet, but they're already doing well at both ends of the pitch, and when it comes to Barcelona, they're even stronger – and although they can't play any particularly good football right now, Chelsea are definitely the strongest in their history. ”

To say that this team is the strongest Chelsea team is, in fact, a bit of a mistake. After all, in terms of personnel composition, Chelsea is not as good as it used to be.

Now Chelsea, there is no Cech in his prime, only a goalkeeper wearing a steel helmet. Now Chelsea, there is no longer the back line that once boasted of the league, although Ashley Cole and Terry are still there, but in the other two positions, Carvalho is no longer good, and Bosingwa on the right-back is also a player who is difficult to play results, relying on Bosingwa, Alex, Terry and Ashley Cole The backline, in fact, is still much worse than at its peak.

Not to mention, the current Chelsea forward line, due to the lack of the two-sided combination of Robben and Duff, has begun to become less attacking. The current Malouda is playing averagely, relying on Anelka and Drogba to support the frontcourt attack, which is not efficient.

But this team has more precipitation than it once was. Now their mood is no longer the original arrogance of the world, Lao Tzu is rich and arrogant, and now Chelsea is gradually entering old age, and their players are still not very good-looking in the honor book. This fact makes them laugh at them, and it also makes them think about how to change their style of play in order to win.

And Hiddink's transformation of them was indeed a success. As a master of the cup and a miracle coach, Hiddink's study of tactics is still quite in place. Although the style of defensive counter-attack he has identified for Chelsea is not pretty, but because he pays more attention to detail, it is undeniable that such Chelsea are more difficult than they were back then.

"Mourinho's original Chelsea, after all, is still not detailed enough in terms of tactics." In this regard, Benitez also commented, "If you look at the current Inter Milan, you can know that Mourinho's football is relatively rough in nature, when there are good players, you can rely on players to win, but without good players, you don't know how to attack." This season, he couldn't play in Serie A, and under pressure, he was also forced to change his coaching philosophy, so that his tactics changed a lot, and he started to play 4312 more than 433, which is his progress, but a little late. Now Chelsea have improved, they have done a better job in tactical details, they are stronger, and they are a huge threat to Real Madrid. ”

"I don't think it matters." Schuster accosted, "Real Madrid will not face any threat, with Zhao Yaning here, I believe they can win easily." ”

Benitez looked at Schustel, and he didn't understand how someone like Schuster could sit firmly in the coaching position. There is no excellent tactical concept, in the face of such a competition, instead of analyzing the two sides, blindly believing in a certain excellent player - however, this is what Zhao Yaning wanted at the beginning, right?

Now that I think about it, how can I say that I don't regret it?

The game has begun, and Real Madrid's formation is still the same as the previous day, with Cassie with Branislav Ivanovic, Cannavaro, Ramos and Marcelo at the back, and Javi Martinez and Yaya Toure at the back. Zhao Yaning plays as the front midfielder, Ribery is on the left side, Raul is still on the right side, and on the forward line, it is still Ibrahimovic.

Even in the final, Pepe didn't get a start.

On the Chelsea side, Cech is in goal, with Bosingwa, Alex, John Terry and Ashley Cole in the back line, Ballack, Essien and Frank Lampard in midfield, Malouda on the left, Anelka on the right and Didier Drogba up front.

And at the beginning of the game, Zhao Yaning saw it, and sure enough, as expected, Chelsea's style of play is not so much a 433 style of play, but a 442 style of play. Malouda's flank assault was not very strong, and he had already recovered the defence from the start. Anelka's style of play is more of a recycled striker than a player in the winger position. Relying on Drogba's role of holding the ball, turning his back, and making the ball, coupled with more delicate footwork, better shooting, and Anelka, who is full of experience in football, as a receiver, the forward line of this team has indeed improved compared to before.

On the midfield line, although none of these four players have enough speed and explosive breakthroughs, these four people are tough enough to play the ball, they can complete the midfield interception very well, and they can also send the ball to the frontcourt.

It's just that they also have their fatal heel: their rhythm is destined not to be fast, so the first way to deal with them is to speed up the rhythm.

Zhao Yaning took the ball and quickly impacted along the right side. Ashin immediately greeted him, he knew that intercepting Zhao Yaning was his biggest task in this game. Zhao Yaning handed the ball to Raul with one kick, and then inserted it diagonally towards the middle, and Raul immediately turned around to protect the ball, ready to pass the ball over, but Essien stuck to Zhao Yaning tightly and did not give Zhao Yaning space to receive the ball. Raul took two steps, but Ashley Cole had already rushed over, and he knew he would be difficult to get through, so he also kicked the ball high into the box.

Ievee and Terry jumped together, and although Terry tried his best, he still couldn't squeeze through Ievee. Ibrahim got the ball and kicked the ball towards the middle with a direct kick, Zhao Yaning greeted him, but at the moment when he received the ball, Essien slammed into him next to him, making him unable to receive the ball well, and at this time Ballack had already run over, grabbed the ball with one kick, and slammed it directly towards the front.

The ball flew straight across the entire half and landed at Drogba's feet. Drogba received the ball with his back, and then turned around in one step and wanted to kill into the box. However, Ramos behind him stared at him, Drogba was helpless, kicked the ball out, in front of him, Anelka received the ball, he directly picked the ball, dodged Cannavaro's defense, and rushed to the penalty area.

But by this time, Martinez had also returned. He made a tackle and headed straight at Anelka's feet, who jumped in time but lost possession of the ball. Cannavaro got the ball, he kicked it to Marcelo on the wing, and the offensive and defensive posture was switched again.

"The attack and defense of both sides were very intense, from the very beginning, the two sides fought quite aggressively, and at the same time there was a lot of confrontation between the two sides. But what is more interesting is that in today's game, Zhao Yaning seems to be defended quite tightly. Essien has been keeping an eye on him every step of the way, and this kind of full-court marking seems to be a big trouble for him. ”

In the last game, Essien completely paralyzed Barcelona's attack almost by himself, and the English media said that he could stand up to one and a half people alone, but it was not all boasting. And in this game, his task is to guard Zhao Yaning. Although Zhao Yaning has a large range of activities, strong ball ability, and good confrontation are all recognized, but Essien is not bad in these aspects, he is considered to be the best person in the world to guard against Zhao Yaning, it is not unreasonable, Zhao Yaning hated to meet him the most in the past, and now, Essien, who broke out this season, is Zhao Yaning's most terrible opponent.

"Yes, theoretically speaking, Essien did guard Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning received the ball, took the ball, and played the ball is much more troublesome, which makes Real Madrid's attack temporarily shelved." Benitez watched the game, but saw that something was wrong, "But, on the other hand, Zhao Yaning relied on his own running, and completely restrained Essien." And if Essien can't complete the task of sweeping and assaulting, and can only guard Zhao Yaning, then, what are Chelsea's chances of winning this game? ”

"What's more," Schuster interjected, "how could he be able to guard against Zhao Yaning?" "Cat flutter Chinese
