Chapter 206

"The partnership of Kesa, Ronaldo and Rooney is fantastic. Their performance is enough for Manchester United to erect a bronze statue of them." Although Mourinho is not doing well recently, the team only achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. But he was still in the mood to talk and laugh.

"The performance of the three of them reminded me of the legendary combination of Sir Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best. They are the best combination in European football today."

Facing the media, Mourinho is as personable as ever, even though this game is a key battle related to whether his position is stable.

Ferguson's thoughts are similar to Mourinho's, "50 years ago, Manchester United won the Champions League for the first time. If we can win again this year, we will be very, very happy. We will create a new history of Manchester United."

Ferguson is eager to win a few more championships before retiring. Last season's Champions League was a good start, and he won his second Champions League.As long as he wins another Champions League this year, he will become the coach who has won the most Champions Leagues.

The legendary Liverpool manager Bob Paisley has won three Champions League titles and no one has surpassed him so far.Silver Fox Lippi led the team to the Champions League final four times. He is currently the coach who has entered the Champions League final the most times, but he only won the championship once. In the 1995-96 season, he led Juventus to defeat the youth army Ajax.

2008 will be the 50th anniversary of Manchester United winning the Champions League for the first time, and it will also mark the 60th anniversary of the air crash.In order to commemorate the first time the Manchester United club won the Champions League, they intend to build several statues at the entrance of the Theater of Dreams, Sir Busby, and the Holy Trinity.

Before this game, the topic Mourinho provoked further enhanced the fans' thoughts. With the performance of the trident this season, Manchester United has a chance to win the Champions League again.But the league is the first to be guaranteed.

Liverpool is eyeing up, winning all the previous league games and ranking first.Arsenal also occupy the second position, leading by one position with a goal difference advantage.After the high light at the beginning of the season, Chelsea quickly fell back and fell to 8th in the league, but their strength is still strong, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Mourinho's lineup is very competitive. Cech is the goalkeeper. The back line is a combination of Johnson, Carvalho, Terry and Al Cole. In the midfield, Malouda, Makelele, Eyre Sheen and Lampard played together.

What appeared on the forward line was the combination of Drogba and Tevez, with a very good appearance.Abramovich's beloved Shevchenko sat on the bench, and Mourinho's move made Abramovich very dissatisfied.

He deeply felt the hostility from the team's head coach, "Does he think I'm a stick?"

For Manchester United, Gary Neville and Giggs were injured and missed, but the lineup is still strong.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar, lined up at the back, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra, the midfield trio is Mikel, Carrick and Fletcher, with Scholes on the bench. Just played in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and his physical fitness has not yet recovered.

The trident in the frontcourt, the starting lineup that you don't need to read.So far this season, Ferguson has always insisted on letting the three start. Kaisa has played almost all the games, and was replaced early only once.Kaisa has scored 7 goals in the 9 games he has participated in, and the scoring rate is frighteningly high.

The number of goals scored by Kesa has doubled compared with the same period last year. Yes, last year he was suspended internally in the first three games and beat Keane, which is unbearable.

Game start!
Kaisa looked at the positions of the Chelsea players, and felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, "Brothers, be careful today, you must protect yourself, and don't be kicked to death by the opponent..."

Rooney and Ronaldo stared blankly at Kaisa, the game has started, don't say such unlucky words, okay?It's scary, how could he be kicked to death when playing against Chelsea?
This game is home to Manchester United!According to Ferguson, we must use a majestic offense to present a hearty offensive battle to the fans.

But Mourinho didn't think so, they chose to retreat across the board.

"Since the Champions League final, I have been waiting for this day. In the face of pass control, I squeezed the lineup with all my strength and squeezed the opponent's offensive space, hehehehe..." Mourinho gritted his teeth, "The defensive counterattack will be An absolute surefire way to win."

As soon as Manchester United started, the front trident was silent in Chelsea's crowd tactics. They kept pressing and attacking Manchester United's attack, dissolving Manchester United's attack invisible.

Manchester United's pass control level is average, quite average. Facing Chelsea's pressing and retreating across the board without fear of embarrassment, they were suddenly at a loss and frequently lost possession.

Chelsea's counterattack was fast, Makelele kicked it out, Drogba controlled the ball in the rush, and immediately transferred it to Tevez.Tevez roared, attacking Manchester United's defense, but still failed to penetrate the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand.

Ferguson's eyes widened, "Mourinho has long been studying how to deal with pass control? What is Chelsea's formation today?"

According to the official formation map, if it is correct, it is a 442 formation, with both offense and defense, but in reality, Chelsea is playing 460.Drogba has recovered to the midfield defense.

As long as they got the ball, they opened their feet, looking for the sprinting Drogba and Carlos Tevez, quickly crossing the midfield and killing Manchester United's backcourt.

Every time Kaisa holds the ball, he will face two people's help defense. Chelsea's squeeze defense is very effective. Most of the personnel are arranged near the top of the penalty area to minimize the threat of Kaisa.

Ronaldo's sprint needs space, Mourinho does not give it, Rooney's small skills are average, and he cannot tear apart the dense defense.Manchester United's midfielders are also uncomfortable. Whether they dispatch the ball to the left or to the right, there are Chelsea players who stand quite densely.

"There are 5 or 6 people arranged near the arc of the penalty area. Mourinho is ruthless." Ferguson muttered, "Our player equipment can't support the pass control of the whole court. Go back and study it, change your tactics, and pass quickly in the frontcourt. Focus on control and minimize the threat in the backcourt.”

Manchester United's backcourt players have mediocre skills. They hold the ball at their feet for a long time, which is more dangerous. Controlling the ball in the frontcourt and clearing the backcourt is more suitable for Manchester United now.

The number of defenders alone will definitely not be able to defend Manchester United's front trident, they are still very fierce.

It's fierce!

Rooney and Ronaldo fell down frequently, watching Kaisa's hard work, and finally realized Kaisa's reminder, "Don't be kicked to death..."

If you play football, you may be kicked away.The ruthlessness of Rooney's breakthrough was evened out, and he was a little afraid to dribble. Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground again under the call of A Cole, and raised his hand to signal, but the referee ignored it.

Acor was still yelling from the side, "Stand up, you bitch, flop."

"Dipping king." Terry next to him also yelled.

After stealing the ball, Chelsea quickly transferred it to Lampard, Lampard to Drogba, and Drogba to Tevez.Carlos Tevez shot immediately, Van der Sar saved the ball.

Drogba made a supplementary shot and scored successfully.

In the world of martial arts, the only thing that can't be broken is fast, pa-pa-pa-pa-goal! ! !Shoot too fast.

"Manchester United is not good at using the wing today, and is too concentrated in the center. This is our advantage." Mourinho believes that today the right medicine is given and there is great hope of winning.
