Chapter 139 The Entanglement of Red and Blue (3)

The ball shot by Dirk Louitt headed for the goal like a fired cannonball.But in this contest, he is not the final winner.

"Wow!!! Wonderful save!!!" Sky Sports special guest Lineker exclaimed.

Yes, the object of this exclamation is Chelsea's Italian substitute goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.

The ball shot by Dirk Kurit went straight to the upper right corner. At this time, Carlo Cudicini was on his right. It is undoubtedly the most difficult for ordinary people to save at this time.But he did it this time.

Carlo Cudicini moved to his left in small steps. When he could save the range, the ball shot by Dirk Dirk was already in front of him. Between the lightning and the flint, Carlo Cudicini Making full use of the strength of his lower limbs and waist to lift himself up into the air, his tall figure soars in the air, the ball is like a sparrow, and of course this Italian eagle will not let go of the prey in front of him, and he will rush to the ground. Out of the crossbar.

Dirk Kurit even wanted to celebrate in advance, but he didn't expect this kick to meet the real "Flying Immortal"!
The Chelsea fans in the Stamford Bridge burst into applause. Carlo Cudicini also got up and kept clapping his gloves to inspire his teammates. John Terry also walked over and patted his head to express his gratitude , this is the last Dinghaishenzhen.The fans are relieved to have two good goalkeepers in the squad this season.

David Winston didn't feel any surprise about this rush to the street. He was very aware of Carlo Cudicini's strength, and it was actually the most normal performance for such a save.

After this small climax, Southampton and Chelsea fell into a stalemate for a while. David Winston saw the changes in Chelsea. Jose Mourinho made changes. At the beginning, it no longer focuses on controlling the ball, but is the same as Southampton.In this way, for a while, the ball had to fly around in the air alone, sitting on a flying ball in the air.This scene seems to have come to a very early age, returning to the familiar English football.

There was still applause just now, but David Winston had already heard some boos.But David Winston didn't have the slightest worry about this. He hoped that the boos would continue and the final whistle would be kept, which would put unlimited pressure on Chelsea.

At this time, Jose Mourinho was a little impatient on the sidelines, and kept whistling to the players on the field, signaling them to change their game strategy and stop blindly passing long passes.In a short period of time, the Chelsea team kept changing their tactics. Maybe even Jose Mourinho couldn't figure out how to play this kind of scene, and he didn't expect Southampton to be so difficult.

Now, there is still some time until the end of the first half.David Winston looked at Chelsea's current style of play and felt that he had returned to the previous conventional style of play, giving all the offense to two players with particularly strong personal abilities.But today, these two players, Joe Cole and Wright-Phillips, seem to be in a dead end. They have been holding their heads to the end, not seeking cooperation, not changing the breakthrough method, just to prove that they can be the savior and break through the entire line of defense. .

David Winston guessed that these two players would do this before the game. Joe Cole was hailed as the most talented player in England at the time, but his injuries and his own characteristics seriously restricted his ability. Development, except for the first year at West Ham United and Chelsea, other times can be described as mediocre, and the national team has not reflected the powerful power shown by this title.Wright-Phillips is a typical British winger product.With fast speed and rough technique, he will only lead the sideways to the end without any flexibility. Whether it is the end of the world or thousands of troops ahead, the British winger will definitely go forward and give the opponent the ball.David Winston also combined the characteristics of the two starting players to make a defensive strategy, allowing them to get stuck here again and again.

David Winston was thinking at this time that Jose Mourinho should have also discovered this situation on the field, and there will be personnel changes in the Chelsea team in the second half.Now Jose Mourinho is probably thinking about how to turn on the blower mode in the locker room.David Winston looked at Jose Mourinho, who was sitting next door on the coaching bench with a helpless expression on his face, and felt complacent. Although the score did not break through zero, the current situation has slowed down. Slowly slid to his side.

"Wright-Phillips is soaring again!! Today he seems to be very keen on shooting and breaking through!! Look at Didier, he is complaining and waving at Wright-Phillips!!! He should do Better!!" Sky Sports special guest Lineker commented on the game situation on the court.

"Chelsea's two wide players seem to have been trying to find a gap by breaking through the side, but Southampton's defense today is doing very well. The special zone defense made them completely lost. During this period of time They didn't have any cooperation, which seriously affected the quality of Chelsea's offensive and counterattack. If I were Jose Mourinho, I would definitely replace them all in the second half!!" Lineker paused for a moment Continue to speak your own opinion.

The Sky Sports commentator also agreed with Lineker's views, and also blew a wave of Southampton's game strategy, admiring David Winston as an excellent England youth coach today, with ideas.

Of course, David Winston disdains such evaluations, because they are all false.In his previous life, he hated such an artificial way, but the characteristics of society make people have to do this.At this point, David Winston found that such situations became rare, but there were also some.

David Winston saw that Alger Robben was already doing warm-up activities on the sidelines. This situation has confirmed that David-Winston's thoughts just now were correct.Jose Mourinho was sure to react in the second half.

However, he guessed wrong.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Chelsea made a substitution change, and there were two people in one substitution.Damien Duff replaces Wright-Phillips and Alger Robben replaces Joe Cole.It seems that Jose Mourinho doesn't want to see something blocking his eyes on the field for 1 minute.

David Winston also did not expect that the feeling of pride in his heart just now turned into admiration. If it was him, he would not be so radical.
