"Look at the media now, it's all like that!"

At Chelsea's Cobham training base in south London, Jose Mourinho and his aides meet in the manager's office.

The game against Atletico Madrid is about to begin.

Atletico are expected to arrive in London at noon today, with Chelsea ready as well.

But now, the media and public opinion throughout the United Kingdom are overwhelmingly discussing Atletico Madrid.

Mourinho was depressed.

From the perspective of the fans, he can certainly understand that Atletico Madrid is indeed playing very well now, and it is getting better and better.

Messi's five-man streak is indeed very exciting.

But so what?

As an opponent, his mission is to do everything he can to take out the enemies in his way.

Even if the enemy is very strong.

That's his Mourinho style!

"Say the sexiest offensive football in the world and the most utilitarian defensive football in the world, ......"

Mourinho couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

He was tempted to call the Guardian's columnist named McNamara and spitt him in the face.

When labor and management play offensive football, you are still wearing open crotch pants!

Playing against Atletico Madrid, you are not satisfied with the world to inquire, who dares?

Those teams that fought against Atletico Madrid are now dead 800 times!

But labor eliminated Atletico last season!

Although it is said that it was scolded miserably, elimination is elimination!

Mourinho now has four assistant coaches, namely Rui Faria who has followed him all the way, Scotsman Steve Clarke, Brazilian Baltemar Brito and England homegrown coach Mike McGiwen.

The Portuguese put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at McGeevent, "How's going on at Stamford Bridge?" ”

The expressions of the four assistants sitting in front of him suddenly became very weird, and there was even a kind of embarrassment that they couldn't laugh or cry.

"I just went to see it, and it's good." McGiwin replied.

But the look between his eyebrows clearly revealed his innermost thoughts.

The so-called is very good, but it is definitely not really good.

Today, it rained all day in London, but at this moment, several taps were still running at full power in the Stamford Bridge field, and then the drainage was very inappropriately "broken".

So now, the pitch at Stamford Bridge is terrible, like a muddy swamp.

What?

Why muddy?

Oh, yes, sorry, but Stamford Bridge didn't have enough time to change the turf in successive home games for Chelsea in the past, so the quality of the turf is not very good now.

'They like to have the ball near the halfway line and inside and outside the box, so the two boxes and the halfway line, be careful.'

McGee civilised Mourinho and said, "I've arranged it. ”

"What does UEFA say?"

Before each match, UEFA officials visit the venue to see if it is suitable for the match, and Chelsea have some experience in dealing with this.

"The drainage system wasn't bad at the time, and although the site was a bit poor, it was okay overall, and they ......" McGiwin hesitated for a moment and thought about the wording, "...... Well, remind us to pay attention, barely qualified. ”

Everyone was amused.

The cost of postponing the game is too great for anyone to make such a decision lightly.

A lot of times, it's about seeing who's more hooligan.

What's more, in this matter, Chelsea is also very "right".

We're not targeting Atletico Madrid!

It's true!

I don't believe you've been asking around the Premier League, we've been in a bad place for a while, and it's too busy to fix it.

You see, just a few days ago, the team played Colchester, a team in the third division of League One, and as a result, our own players of Chelsea were almost injured, and even a low-level team like Colchester couldn't stand it.

There's really no way!

Otherwise, we would have changed all the turf.

"Mike, tell the fieldmasters at Stamford Bridge that they're going to have to get the drain in place by tomorrow afternoon anyway, otherwise we won't be able to play tomorrow night, understand?"

"Understood, I'll pass it on."

"Also, find someone to tell Atletico that if they don't think the facilities at Stamford Bridge are good, they can come to our Cobham training base and I can borrow their space to train."

After Mourinho finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, "Of course, the premise is that he is not afraid of us peeping." ”

Everyone was also in a daze.

After a "joke", the topic began to become serious.

Don't look at Mourinho seems to be full of confidence, but in fact, he is still very jealous of Atletico Madrid this season.

Even, he said in a previous interview with the media that the team he is most afraid of now is Atletico Madrid.

'Their centre-backs have improved very much this season, not to mention Lucio, that Thiago Silva has also done well, and Pepe and Ramos have also improved a lot.

"The biggest weakness of last season has been made up a lot this season, but there are still some shortcomings."

But the problem is, Chelsea don't have a centre-forward right now!

Vieri is about to turn 33, and now he has basically nothing to do except mess with flowers and trick the little girls in London nightclubs.

This has led to Chelsea's attacking problems being very obvious at the moment.

Without a centre-forward up front, Mourinho's tactics were not easy to use.

Gudjohnson struggled to qualify for the Premier League, but the problems were evident in the knockout stages of the Champions League, especially against a team as strong as Atletico Madrid.

Why can't Chelsea beat Liverpool in the group stage?

It's just that there is no center to make trouble.

Diego Forlan scored efficiently and Reyes was extremely fast, but they didn't play much of a role in attacking positional battles.

There were often games in which Reyes counter-attacked and threatened, but there was no one to answer in the middle.

Abramovich wants to sign Shevchenko, and what Mourinho wants most is actually Atletico Madrid's Drogba, but if it doesn't work, Shevchenko can do it too.

After all, Chelsea's midfield now has a Deco in tandem, which can also create a lot of opportunities up front.

"What did Garas say lately?" Mourinho asked with concern.

Atletico Madrid's backline is problematic, the central defenders are not strong enough, they like to take the initiative to press the attack, and there is always room for counter-attacks behind them.

Chelsea are there too.

Gallas was very unhappy with Mourinho always arranging him to play on the left wing.

The Frenchman believes he is best suited in the middle of the pitch and feels he is the best partner for Terry.

But against Atletico Madrid, against Messi and Robben with their left foot on the right, Chelsea need Gallas.

Let Bridge on?

This kid often raises the bar with Mourinho in training and competitions, and does not obey discipline.

Not long ago, he quarreled with Jose Mourinho again and felt that he should be the starting left wing-back.

At that time, Mourinho sarcastically mocked him in a fit of anger: "Let you go? With your sense of defense and position, you can't even defend the woman behind you, who else can you defend? ”

It became a joke in the Chelsea dressing room about Bridge.

But the relationship between the two has indeed become more stiff.

As the captain of the team, Terry has always stepped forward to be a peacemaker, especially in the case of Bridge, and Terry has also supported his team-mates in the national team to attack the main position.

"It's okay if you can't hold it, you have me behind you!"

Thankfully, there was Terry, and the locker room was harmonious.

But in this case, Mourinho definitely can't use Bridge, this guy is not reliable.

"Gallas has stopped a lot lately, I've talked to him, and he should be able to hold it down." Faria replied.

Mourinho sighed in his heart.

'In this game, we have to curb Atletico's skilful and fluid passing and cutting links between their players.

"In terms of specific targeted tactics, we still have to pay attention to those points no matter what, especially Kaka!"

The most difficult thing to deal with Atletico is how to block their attack.

In the middle of the Sheets, there are Andres Iniesta and Kaka, both of whom belong to the kind of players who have strong individual ability, and their characteristics are different, Iniesta is good at controlling and Kaka is good at attacking.

That's pretty damning.

Blocking Kaka, not stopping Iniesta, it's useless.

The reverse is also true.

Also, there is a Drogba or Torres in front, which is also very troublesome.

Needless to say, Drogba is a nightmare for all centre-backs in the world.

Torres too, this kid is also very good in physical confrontation, and he is very explosive, and the head-on impact has also made the central defenders all over the world suffer.

Look at the goal he scored against Barcelona a few days ago, stop, turn around, and hit it again with his left foot, crisply.

Sometimes it's just that outrageous.

It's really unstoppable!

If you want to block, you can, the whole team shrinks the defense and uses the numerical advantage to contain the opponent.

That's what Jose Mourinho did last season, and the result?

was scolded by the whole world as a grandson!

Even a lot of Chelsea fans can't stand it.

"That Messi should also pay attention." Faria reminded.

Mourinho nodded.

Villa, Ribery, Robben, now one more Messi.

Atletico Madrid's two wings are really troublesome, and the characteristics of the players are different, how to keep them?

Even, he is now completely unpredictable, how Yang Hao will arrange his troops.

……

A lot of people don't like London.

But Yang Hao didn't feel this way, he felt that London, which often rains, seems to be pretty good.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that every time he comes over, it's just two or three days, and it's not necessarily a long stay.

But Mourinho's bad move completely ruined Yang Hao's interest.

How bad is the pitch at Stamford Bridge?

As soon as he stepped on it, Yang Hao's shoes were all wet, and they were all water.

The most outrageous thing is that the faucet is still on.

Damn, is it all so obvious now?

Players can't train well in such a field.

Not even the ball works.

When I asked, I learned that the drainage system was "broken" and was being repaired.

Atletico were very angry from top to bottom, and everyone knew that this was an off-field move.

And Chelsea are also very landlords.

Jose Mourinho said that if Atletico felt that the conditions at Stamford Bridge were too poor, they would go to the Cobham training base, which Chelsea could provide for free, and the training ground there was the same size as Stamford Bridge.

Yang Hao knew Mourinho's wishful thinking very well in his heart.

He had done this trick in his previous life, and even later poured sand on the court, which was also very damaging.

But you can't really complain about this kind of thing.

The complaint here is not to say that there can be an appeal, Atletico will definitely appeal, but the big team has arrived, and the game is imperative.

If Yang Hao goes crazy at this time, it will have an impact on Atletico Madrid's morale, and the player's mood will change.

It's not a good thing that your players are affected before the game even starts.

Therefore, Yang Hao called the administrator of the stadium over on the spot.

'The conditions on your pitch are not up to UEFA standards in any way, and if they are still in the same condition before tomorrow night's game, then my players and I will apply for a change of pitch because Stamford Bridge is not ready to play.'

The stadium administrator nodded busily, saying that he would definitely repair it as soon as possible.

"Finally, you don't need to go to the Cobham training base, you Chelsea, we don't need to be familiar with the venue!"

After speaking, Yang Hao turned around and waved his hand very heroically, "Guys, let's go back and rest!" ”

When the players heard Yang Hao shouting, they all immediately responded.

Letting them train in such muddy swamps is really torture as well.

Why don't you go back to the hotel and practice in the gym?

Isn't there just a way to get acquainted with the venue?

Labor and management will you Chelsea!

Not only that, Yang Hao also asked the reporters with the team to take photos and release them, so that fans all over the world can take a look, are the Premier League venues so spicy?

With Atletico Madrid's current popularity, every move attracts the attention of fans all over the world.

Judging from the photos, the site is really terrible, and there are even several obvious water accumulations.

As soon as it was put on the Internet, netizens were talking.

Are you sure this is a football stadium?

"Our vegetable plots are better than here!"

"The magic bird has gone a little too far this time."

"If you can't beat people, there's no need to make such a move."

"If you want me to say, just disarm and surrender, no shame!"

Especially Yang Hao's sentence [Playing Chelsea, we don't need to be familiar with the venue!] In the eyes of netizens, it is really too powerful, and it is the demeanor of the world's top team.

And Yang Hao also refused to attend the pre-match press conference at Stamford Bridge.

The reason is that his players can't get used to training at Stamford Bridge, so why should he go out of his way to participate in it?

This matter also quickly attracted the attention of UEFA.

UEFA officials in London immediately went to the scene to check and found out that the venue was boring, and Chelsea were severely criticized and blamed.

The next morning, UEFA's official website immediately clarified the matter, announcing a serious warning to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium, asking them to make immediate rectifications and re-inspect them before the evening game.

At the same time, UEFA also sent people to the hotel where Atletico Madrid stayed and communicated with Yang Hao.

It's definitely too late for this game.

It wasn't possible to get Chelsea to change the turf on an impromptu basis, so it had to be done just as it was.

"I promise, it will never happen again!"

Yang Hao never thought of canceling the game, but he rarely took the big one, of course, he wanted to take the opportunity to play a role.

He told UEFA officials very clearly that it was a ruse.

"Do you think that if this trick is allowed to succeed, then all the home teams will follow the same example and deal with the away team like this, so how will the Champions League game be played?"

As long as the game is not played in a neutral stadium, there will always be a home and away.

It's all like this, isn't that a mess?

Okay, you Chelsea do the first year of junior high school, I Atletico Madrid do the fifteenth, I go back to Calderon Stadium, I will kill you!

And what about next time?

What about next time?

"I know that UEFA has requirements for the standard of the playing field, but this is far from keeping up with the development of the current level of football, and the standard needs to be improved, especially in the world's top competition such as the Champions League, the world's top standards should be used to require both sides of the competition, right?"

"And that's all they have to offer? Will there be any more aggressive, even aggressive fouls in the game? ”

"They can even do this on the field, but what about the interference with the referee in the game?"

"Don't forget, at the just-concluded FIFA Awards Ceremony, Blatter personally presented the President's Special Contribution Award to Frieske, which is the cry of the media and fans around the world!"

Swedish referee Frisker was tossed by Mourinho to retire, and from UEFA to FIFA, they were very angry about this matter.

UEFA President Johansson and Frisker are still Swedish fellows, and Frisker has long been booked as one of the important referees for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but as a result, Frisker retired directly.

Speaking of which, this guy also poured blood mold.

While in Rome, he was hit by a coin, bleeding, and caused an uproar.

Then it was Chelsea.

Yang Hao is well aware of Mourinho's wrists.

What Magic Bird is best at is setting up an opponent in his locker room, and then training the players in the locker room to rush up like wolves and tear apart the opponent.

He is looking at Atletico as such an opponent now.

But Yang Hao didn't accept the move, didn't come forward, and let UEFA deal with it.

Then, see the real chapter on the field!

……

On the evening of February 22, Stamford Bridge in London.

Yang Hao walked out of the players' tunnel and couldn't help frowning the moment he saw the Stamford Bridge stadium.

It's so bad!

"I'm sorry, I just listened to their report, and I knew that something like this happened, and the following people are really ...... doing things."

Mourinho greeted him with an innocent face.

Yang Hao shook hands with him, "It's okay, the venue is good or bad, for us, it doesn't matter." ”

Mourinho's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, and he remembered what Yang Hao said that was reported by major news media in the morning.

"That's good."

But he was already secretly competing.

"I looked at your starting line-up and it didn't seem like it had much of an impact on you last season."

After Yang Hao heard this, he smiled slightly, "What impact can it have?" Just carelessly. ”

After a pause, Yang Hao said again: "You see, the Times has said that your coaching style is based on opponents, and our style is based on ourselves, so we are not afraid of any opponent." ”

"Okay, then we'll see!" Mourinho doesn't plan to talk any further.

As early as when Yang Hao coached Atletico Madrid, Mourinho knew him.

At the beginning, he always felt that Yang Hao took the initiative to come to him.

Unexpectedly, gradually, Yang Hao kicked out with Atletico Madrid, and the results are getting better and better.

By now, it has even climbed to the top of Mourinho's head.

This made Mourinho very uncomfortable.

Previously, he felt that he was in charge of Porto, but last season, after taking charge of Chelsea, he dealt Atletico Madrid a terrible blow, and finally won the right to qualify.

If you could do it last season, you can do it this season!

Yang Hao is not as complicated as Mourinho thinks, but he does not agree with some of the Portuguese's practices, and even has some disgust.

Not only this off-the-field loss before the game, but also the British media broke the news that Mourinho asked everyone in the Chelsea team, including Reyes, Carvalho and Deco, not to greet Yang Hao before and after the game.

This made Yang Hao also a little dissatisfied.

But in football, after all, you still have to rely on strength to speak.

If you can't win Chelsea, that's Mourinho who won, he's a hero.

Taken, Mourinho's actions are a joke.

……

Jose Mourinho made a change in this game.

Goalkeepers: Cudicini;

Defence: Gallas, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira;

Midfielders: Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Maniche trail behind, Deco in the number 10;

Forwards: Reyes and GoodJohnson.

This is somewhat similar to the 4312 tactic.

Jose Mourinho is clearly hoping to use this style of play to ensure a clean sheet at home.

However, when he saw this starting list, Yang Hao's first reaction was that Chelsea's wings were gone.

Obviously, Gallas and Ferreira are not the kind of full-backs who can assist strongly, both start at the same time, and there are no wingers in the midfield, which is obviously to give up the wing attack, mainly to focus on defense.

Up front, it was more of a counter-attacking squad of Reyes, Deco and Gudjohnson, and Frank Lampard's back-to-back insertion.

Atletico's starting line-up for this game was also adjusted.

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defence: Patrice Evra, Thiago Silva, Lucio and McConn;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso trailing, Andres Iniesta and Kaka in the middle;

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Drogba and Messi.

Yang Hao arranged for Robben to start on the left side, Messi occupied the right side, and Drogba was in the middle.

As soon as the game started, Chelsea were uncharacteristically pressed.

Frank Lampard, Deco Deco and Reyes quickly linked up the left flank, with Reyes crossing into the box for Gudjohnsson.

As a result, Thiago Silva scrambled to head the ball out.

Atletico quickly began to counter-attack, and it was on the right side of Atletico.

When Kaka burst forward with the ball, he split the ball to the right side.

After Messi stopped the ball and shook off Gallas, he suddenly shot from distance with his left foot.

It was the first shot of the game.

It can be seen from this attack and defense that both teams are not giving an inch.

Chelsea defended on the counter-attack, while Atletico took the initiative and penetrated the passes.

However, the poor field at Stamford Bridge was very unfavorable for Atletico Madrid, and there was no training to familiarize himself with the field before the game, so Yang Hao did not dare to be too big, and the rhythm of the beginning stage slowed down slightly.

It's more about tentative and familiarity with the venue.

It has to be said that the poor pitch at Stamford Bridge is visible to the naked eye, and often players step on it and splash out with mud.

Where is this meadow!

Yang Hao shook his head.

Mourinho's off-field moves are really bad enough.

But Atletico had already expected it.

Yang Hao told the players before the game that they should be mentally prepared.

He even told the players directly that the conditions on the field of the game would be very bad and that they had to adapt to it first.

Even the commentator in charge of the commentary was speechless and complained, "It's unbelievable that a bad venue like Stamford Bridge should appear on the stage of the Champions League knockout round, this is definitely a dereliction of duty on the part of UEFA!" ”

In the first 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid's possession rate was not ideal, and there were a lot of mistakes.

Chelsea took a couple of chances to counter-attack, but to no avail.

Mainly because the Blues are reluctant to commit more troops.

Atletico Madrid is constantly running in and adjusting.

One of the most noticeable changes in the game was that Didier Drogba was in the box and faced off against John Terry and Carvalho, keeping two of Chelsea's centre-backs at bay.

Arjen Robben pulled Pacos Ferreira on the left, Lionel Messi pulled Gallas on the right, and Andres Iniesta and Kaka were in the middle, holding Chelsea's back three.

In this case, Atletico's two full-backs appear to be more free.

In the 16th minute, Evra on the left side of the left flank cut forward at high speed, received Robben's cross, burst into the left side of the penalty area, and knocked to the middle before Terry, and was cleared by Carvalho in time.

Everyone's cold sweat was shocked.

Three minutes later, Xavi Alonso played another long ball down the left and Robben combined with Patrice Evra to make a one-two and cross for Drogba to head in.

Slightly higher.

As they gradually adapted to the game, especially the familiarity with the venue, Atletico gradually dominated the field.

The left flank was lively, which was also in line with Mourinho's expectations.

Therefore, he arranged Ferreira and Maniche on the left side to mark the opponent, and Deco will also actively follow Evra back to the defense.

During his time at Atletico, Deco was well aware of the attacking prowess of Patrice Evra's back.

This kid is a striker, fast, good technique, and playing football is like a desperate Saburo, and he is the favorite of head coach Yang Hao.

One of the most threatening attacks on the left came in the 25th minute, when Arjen Robben pinned down the left and played the ball back to Andres Iniesta, who squeezed the ball with his left foot and crossed into the box.

Drogba kept John Terry at bay with his body, chested the ball and turned to the left, and when he broke free from Terry's defence and burst into the left side of the box, his left-footed shot failed to hit the target and missed a great one-on-one opportunity.

At the beginning of February, in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, Drogba scored a goal to help Ivory Coast defeat Egypt and win the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations!

The Ivorians are in very good form.

Since returning to Atletico Madrid, he has been adjusting to take out Chelsea in tonight's game and avenge last season's victory.

Missed this God-given opportunity, making Drogba so angry that he wanted to slap himself.

As he walked back quickly, he saw the manager clapping from the sidelines and giving him a thumbs up.

But soon, Yang Hao shouted Harvey on the sidelines.

This is Xavi Alonso.

Then everyone saw Yang Hao's gestures, shifted more, and adjusted the direction of attack.

At the same time, withdraw a little more to give the opponent room to possess the ball and not press it so hard.

Mistakes made last season, can't be repeated this season.

……

Xavi Alonso deflected a long ball from the left and into the right.

Near the halfline, McConn chested the ball and brought forward.

At this time, Messi was still clinging to the right touchline and raised his hand towards McCone for the ball.

The ball came to Messi's feet, and McCone continued to cut forward.

Gallas followed Messi, and Lampard immediately stepped diagonally behind Gallas to follow McCone to form a fill-in.

But at this time, Kaka cut in diagonally from the middle and asked for the ball on the edge of the right corner of the box.

Messi picked up a pass and gave the ball to Kaka's feet.

Behind the Brazilian is Carvalho.

In this crucial position, Chelsea will not give Atletico a free-kick opportunity easily, so if they can not foul, they will never foul.

Kaka was very skilful with his feet, unloading the ball from mid-air and stopping beautifully.

Carvalho was behind him and didn't let him turn, while Makelele was on the flank of Kaka, stopping Kakaneche.

But the Brazilians already had an idea.

Messi started immediately after passing the ball.

His running line is not a straight line, but an arc.

He ran down the middle, then circled behind Makellele, then suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward as fast as he could.

At this time, Kaka stopped the ball, turned around slightly, and picked the ball out again.

Messi rushed behind Makelele, met the ball from Kaka, probed into the penalty area, and chased the whole person.

Chelsea's defence has been completely breached!

The whole Stamford Bridge stadium is fried!

Where can they see such a wonderful combination in the Premier League?

After Messi burst into the right side of the penalty area, he grabbed the back of the defense before Makelele caught up with him, and crossed with a cross.

At the edge of the six-yard box, Drogba blocked Terry with his body and flicked the ball with his right foot, allowing it to turn slightly in one direction.

This made Ferreira, who was chasing all the way back, unable to touch the ball, but Robben, who followed up and shot directly.

A very wonderful offensive coordination, as a result, Robben wanted to push the far corner, that is, the lower right corner, but the result was a little worse, grazing the right post out of the bottom line.

The entire stadium at Stamford Bridge was filled with screams of terror.

Robben hugged his head in frustration, turned around and ran.

"It's okay! It's okay! ”

Kaka loudly encouraged his teammates as he ran back.

Drogba also missed a solo shot just now.

As he passed by Messi, Kaka reached out and grabbed the long hair on top of Messi's head.

"Leo, in the battle of positions, let's just play like this." Kaka smiled and encouraged.

Messi nodded heavily.

Kaka is taking him step by step to integrate into the team's tactical coordination, and slowly helping him establish a main position.

Of course, more importantly, it's so comfortable to play with a player like Messi.

No matter what you think, how you pass it, he can cooperate.

This kid's talent is definitely overflowing, as long as you have played with him, no one will deny it.

But Messi's biggest problem now is experience and this ability to fit into the game.

Sometimes, when he handles the ball, he still has some problems.

For example, during a dribble break and was defended by Frank Lampard, Messi chose to play the ball back to Kaka.

As a result, he didn't pay attention to Kaka's running line in time and passed directly to Makellele.

But Messi immediately counter-robbed and was whistled for a foul by referee Hauge.

These are the problems that young players tend to make, and it's not a big deal.

As he participates in more and more games, becomes more and more experienced, and cooperates more and more tacitly with his teammates around him, Messi's performance will get better and better.

What's more, he will be more soberly aware that starting to play in the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds, and coming on as a substitute, are two completely different intensities.

Now it is a contest between the players on both sides who are full of physical fitness, full of state and full of morale, and the intensity of the game is not comparable to the substitutes in the second half.

Far beyond La Liga or the Copa del Rey.

Of course, Messi has done well enough.

Yang Hao also asked everyone to bring him more.

……

In the 36th minute, it was another attack from Atletico on the left flank.

But as soon as he entered the 30-metre zone of Chelsea, Andres Iniesta spotted that the Blues' defence was in place and passed back to Xavi Alonso.

Aware of the problem, Kaka immediately pulled back to pick it up, signaling Xavi Alonso to pass to his right.

Without waiting for Lampard to be in place, Kaka stopped and walked diagonally to the right side and passed to Messi on the right rib, and he turned in one direction and slid forward.

Frank Lampard has been clinging to Kaka, which has led to a gap on the right side of Chelsea's midfield.

Messi knew that it was Kaka who was taking away defenders for him, so he immediately deducted Gallas and dribbled sideways to the middle.

Atletico's attack was sudden.

Chelsea's original main defensive force was in the left half, and suddenly moved to the right half, Makelele rushed to the top of the penalty area for the first time, plus Gallas, who followed all the way, the two were about to form a flank attack on Messi.

The Argentine skillfully carried the ball, and before Makelele could get closer, he saw Drogba also running along the line of the big penalty area, from the left, and he made a feint to create a gap and stuff the ball straight into the top of the arc.

When Drogba ran over, Terry and Carvalho were both pinching at the same time, for fear that he would stop the ball and turn to his feet.

This is already within the range of the Ivorians.

Unexpectedly, Drogba didn't stop the ball and sent a cross directly.

Carvalho turned around and desperately tried to get back into his defense.

I saw Kaka shake off Lampard, cut diagonally into the box from the right side of the periphery of the penalty area with great speed, just caught up with Drogba's pass, stepped into the big penalty area, and shot with his right foot before Carvalho was in place!

"Atletico's cooperation...... Kaka ......"

"The ball is in!!!"

"Atletico scored a goal!!

"Kaka scored the first goal for Atletico in the 36th minute!!"

"It was a great teamwork!"

"Drogba's cross, Kaka's diagonal cut, Atletico completed a very wonderful attacking combination."

"It's so beautiful!"

'Frank Lampard has always been on the lookout for Kaka, but when it mattered, Kaka's pace kept him powerless.

"This is Atletico!"

'When Chelsea put up an impregnable wall at the edge of the entire penalty area, when Chelsea felt they could hold the goal, Atletico tore apart the Chelsea defence with a brilliant attack!

"Let's take a look at the offensive coordination this time."

"First Kaka and Messi, then Messi passed Drogba and then crossed to Kaka."

'This back-and-forth pull and pass has made Chelsea's defenders a little dizzy.

"At the critical moment, Kaka broke the deadlock on the field!"

"1 to 0!"

……

When Kaka scored a goal, Yang Hao jumped up excitedly.

In front of the home team's coach's box, Mourinho shook his head in a depressed face.

Of course he knew the defenders had done their best, but they still didn't hold on.

"The way they go back and forth makes our defence unable to keep up." Faria was depressed.

Why doesn't Mourinho know?

Atletico's attack just now forced Chelsea's defense to completely lose order.

Transmission and cutting, transmission and cutting, is fundamentally about transmission and cutting.

Behind it is running without the ball.

Pulling away defenders and creating space for the attack through the players' movements is where Atletico are most threatening.

Is there a way?

Yes!

It's still like last season, I'm just blindly sticking, keeping guarding, always keeping the three lines meticulous and compact, no matter how you run, how you pull, I don't move.

But at what cost?

The price is that Chelsea's attack is left alone.

And what's worse is that whether you can win or not, depending on the opponent, Chelsea is completely passive.

If Atletico play a little better, Chelsea will be finished.

Not only will you lose the game, but you will also be scolded very badly.

Even if you win by luck, you still have to be scolded, just like last season.

'They're mainly playing on the periphery of the 30-metre zone, even near the halfway line, and they've obviously learned the lessons of last season. Britto reluctantly analyzed.

Mourinho stood in the coach's command area with a calm face.

'I can see now that the left side is certainly the focus of their attack, but they felt from the start that the right side was the winner.

Mourinho scolded secretly.

There is no such thing as a main attack or a feint here.

Or should it be said that with the current strength of Atletico Madrid, their main attack can be switched to a feint attack at any time, and the feint attack can also be switched to the main attack at any time.

If you have strength, you can do whatever you want!

Even, if there is a gap in the middle later, Iniesta and Kaka will open a breakthrough directly from the middle, it will definitely not be surprising.

That's what Atletico are right now!

It is also the strength of the strongest team in world football at the moment!

At this moment, standing in front of the home team's coach's box at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart for a moment.

He suddenly felt that Chelsea couldn't hold on to this game!

Not just because of Kaka's goal, but also because Atletico's overall quality is a very clear improvement from last season.

Kaka is more mature.

Andres Iniesta, Arjen Robben, Drogba and others have all shown a better level.

And the appearance of Messi has given Atletico Madrid a very good point of possession in the frontcourt.

This kid gets the ball, brings it up, and unless it's a foul, it's almost impossible to stop.

It's a bit like Barcelona's Ronaldinho.

It's so hard!

Let me explain, because I'm just a fan, the renewal of a player's contract is very complicated and professional, and it is not something that we ordinary people can understand, so I can only deduce it through autobiography and media reports, and then combine it with the situation in the book for reasonable processing. Around 2005, there was basically no report in our country, because at that time our media were focused on giants and stars, with few reports and underdeveloped information, so we didn't know what happened to Messi, and I also found out after reading Messi's autobiography that during the 05 World Youth Championships, Barcelona specially went to the Netherlands to renew Messi's contract, because the performance was too good. After the World Youth Championships, Gamble Cup played Juventus, Capello praised Messi, Juventus sent a large transfer fee after the game to sign Messi, and then, Inter Milan made a move, contacted Messi's father, and once planned to spend 150 million euros to sign Messi, which led to Barcelona renewing the contract with Messi for 3 months, and then raising the salary, and then renewing the contract in December. In fact, these were later reported by domestic media, such as Moratti regretting missing Messi back then, and Juventus also said that he missed this kind of thing, proving that the autobiography did not lie. In the 06/07 season, Messi received an annual salary of 5 million euros. Personally, when I found out these times, my mind was full of the whole of Europe grabbing it, because his talent was really visible to everyone, and he was even recognized as a superstar early on. I didn't write so much, mainly because I wrote too much of this kind of content, and I was afraid that everyone wouldn't like it and misunderstand me about the number of words in the water. Finally, ask for a monthly pass! Thanks!!
