I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 155 The sharpest spear and the thickest shield

On February 2, the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals started first.

The most exciting round of this round is undoubtedly the confrontation between the Premier League and Serie A, and there were two duels on this day.

Arsenal beat visiting Roma 1-0 at home, Van Persie scored the only goal from the penalty spot.Leading at home, the opponents did not score, Arsenal made a good start.

However, Manchester United drew with Inter Milan in the away game. Neither Ferguson nor Mourinho took advantage. The two are already old rivals and are very familiar with each other. Rinho is sometimes unscrupulous in order to win.

The score of 0:0 was also maintained until the end, and the outcome can only be decided by returning to Old Trafford.The referee also issued 6 yellow cards in a game, 4 of which were given to Inter Milan.

The process of the game is not 0:0 as it seems so peaceful.

On the evening of the 26th, the Stamford Bridge Stadium was brightly lit. Although it was the middle of the week, how could fans miss such a game?

The fans are welcoming Ranieri from afar with the most enthusiastic cheers. They have not forgotten that Ranieri also had a good memory at Stamford Bridge.

"Welcome," Yunqiao waited for Ranieri to come out at the exit of the stadium.

Shake hands with Yunqiao lightly, "Hi, Yun," Ranieri said with a smile, "I've heard of you a long time ago, and I wanted to communicate with you a long time ago, but I never had the chance."

This is Ranieri's sincere words. When they reach their level, there is no need to say compliments.

"Did Jose mention it to you?" In Serie A, Mourinho is most familiar with Yunqiao.

"No, no," Ranieri shook his head, "I read the news and newspapers. As for Mourinho, he has offended too many people in Serie A, even though he has only been in Serie A for half a season."

Ranieri is very talkative, if the occasion here is not suitable, Yunqiao really wants to have a good chat with him.

Chelsea's starting lineup is also a bit beyond Ranieri's expectations. He knows that there is only one injured Chelsea team, winger Joe Cole. Ranieri thinks that Yunqiao will replace Ballack. Take control.

I didn't expect him to meet a young man on such an occasion.

The goalkeeper is Cech No. 1;
Lining up the back line is also Chelsea's most commonly used and best defensive combination this season, Ivan, Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho;

The midfield is Lampard, Kaka, Arshavin and the young teenager Royce;
The double forwards are Drogba and Anelka.

Yunqiao's starting lineup also stunned everyone. It is acceptable to dismantle Drogba and Lewandowski's striker combination. Anelka has not played a few games in the team, but he has proved that his strength is still there. He is even more mature than before, so it is normal for him to replace Lewandowski as the starter.

The only thing that is puzzling is that Yunqiao let the world-class midfielder Ballack go. Instead, he hired a young teenager Royce to replace Joe Cole, and Arshavin as a double striker.

Yunqiao is really persistent about flying with two wings together.

Ranieri laughed, Royce is much easier to deal with than Ballack, under the defense of Juventus, how long can his passion last.

Juventus's starting lineup is similar to the previous league game, but his side will have a few more injuries than Chelsea, Zerbitt, Konezevic, De Qielie and Cristiano Zanetti.

Three defenders and one midfielder also made Ranieri a little tangled in the choice of defenders. The goalkeeper is No. 1 Buffon;

In defence, Nicola Lerottlie, Chiellini, Molinaro and Grigera;

Midfielders Nedved, Thiago, Sissoko and Mauro;
Forward Del Piero and Amauri played together.

Juve's bench is also full of talents, Trezeguet, Giovinco, Marcio and other players are sitting.

Juventus is only a little worse than Inter Milan in Serie A this season, ranking second in the league, and their scoring firepower in the league is still very fierce.

If they don't defend them, they will not be able to come to the European war. Although they are unbeaten in 6 group matches and only conceded 3 goals, they can definitely compete with Chelsea in defense, and even do better than Chelsea.

At the same time, they only scored 7 goals, an average of 1.2 goals per game, perfectly interpreting the tradition of 1:0 in Serie A, and they are the team with the worst offensive firepower in the top [-] of the Champions League.

Chelsea is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the Champions League. How can such a game not attract people's attention.

Does the sharpest spear pierce the thickest shield, or does the thickest shield bend the sharpest spear?

Everyone is waiting for the game to start.

Yunqiao also prepared different ways of playing for this game in the first and second halves, and it depends on how Ranieri responds.

Chelsea kicked off first, Drogba returned the ball to Terry's position, and ran forward himself.This opening, Drogba felt the difficulty, no matter in the midfield or in the frontcourt, he seemed to be followed by a defensive player.

The defensive players in each position are different. Drogba had a ridiculous feeling, did the opponent have more players?

Of course, Juventus will not play one more player, but their defensive preparations and practices are of course different from other leagues. It is a bit like basketball's zone defense. The teammates in other places are also close together, so there will be no single defense. .

Terry took control of the ball, Pierrot came up slowly, and scored for Kaka, who didn't take the ball, but passed it to Royce immediately.

Royce's task today is also very simple. The head coach is to let him dribble past others after receiving the ball. Don't be stingy with his physical strength, because he will be replaced in the second half. He went up to consume the opponent's physical strength today.

Kicked the ball behind Nedved with his right foot, trying to pass the ball alone.

Ah! ! !
Royce really thought too much. Even though Nedved was old, he was still physically strong at the beginning. Royce hit the opponent's back directly, twisted his footsteps a few times, and stabilized himself. However, football has been controlled by Nedved.

Hurry up, Nedved knocked to Sissoko, and he passed Royce to catch the ball easily.

In one round, Royce was completely defeated.

It's normal, it may be a few years before Royce can really win against Nedwei Bei in a one-on-one match, and he has no chance. The opponent decided to retire at the end of this season.

A little king was born and I was not born, but I was born and the king is already dead.

Nedved played very practically. He didn't rush to pass the ball, but controlled the ball under his feet, carefully observed the position of his teammates, and saw that Piero and Amauli didn't have a good chance to catch the ball, so he sent the ball to the pedicle. Yago passed around, and then back to Mauro.

A few passes back to goalkeeper Buffon, which is good, very Juventus, very Serie A.
