[football] walk side by side

As the core of Barcelona's midfield after Guardiola, Xavier Reus's situation is not very good at the moment.

Mourinho is a head coach who cares about the details of every game one by one.Even though Rijkaard's communication with the referee in the last round caused him to be furious, he did not forget his responsibility as a head coach.

After carefully studying the game video, Mourinho immediately discovered the important reason why Chelsea was scored twice by Barcelona. Chelsea did not press enough on Barcelona midfielder Javi Reus, which gave Barcelona an opportunity.

After realizing this, Mourinho quickly changed Chelsea's tactics in the second round. The original 433 tactics became 4213 positions. Makelele and Lampard teamed up to lock Xavier Reus to death. dead.

Without Harvey to dispatch Barcelona's offense, although it is still full of threats, it has lost the accuracy of the past.

But at this moment, Rijkaard couldn't care less about finding a way to liberate Harvey.

Now, the Barcelona coach has encountered a team that has played against Chelsea countless times. The question that every coach needs to think about is how to freeze Cyril Slade.

How to Freeze Cyril Slade?

It seems that Ferguson's attempt in the Chelsea-Manchester United game seemed to give a lot of people a good demonstration template, but in fact they were found by Cyril in the end. It is not impossible to freeze Cyril, but in Now that Chelsea has opened up the situation, it is difficult for Rijkaard on the sidelines to help Barcelona recover their disadvantages through their own adjustments.

Because no one expected that Chelsea would choose to change in the second round!

Xavi was locked up, Deco was alone, and he conceded a goal in less than 2 minutes. This kind of psychological and actual overall combat strength made it difficult for Barcelona players to protect the ball under Chelsea's high pressure. The pass and control they are proud of couldn't be played at all, and they were smashed to pieces by Chelsea.

The situation on the field is changing rapidly. During the period when Rijkaard was thinking hard, Chelsea scored again!

It is very similar to the goal just now, using the speed difference of Barcelona's defensive players to force open the gap, and then pass to his teammates to shoot. At this time, Cyril looks more like a bait, tempting Barcelona's defenders to attack, and then Create opportunities for teammates to shoot!

"Crossed by Slade, Duff catches the ball outside the box, kicks the ball straight into the goal! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! After Barcelona scored two goals in 10 minutes at the Bridge Stadium, Chelsea completed their revenge at the Nou Camp Stadium, and they scored two goals in the first 5 minutes of the game!"

Rijkaard couldn't help standing up from the coach's bench.

He could see that the Barcelona players on the field, especially the defensive players, were a little at a loss at this time.

Should I defend Slade?But judging from these two conceded goals, the reason why they conceded the ball seems to be caused by "defending Slade". Don't freeze Slade?Wouldn't that be tantamount to allowing Chelsea to play defense comfortably with the support of the midfield?

The bewilderment of the Barcelona players didn't last long because just 10 minutes later, Chelsea's third goal came!

After scoring two goals in a row for Barcelona, ​​the Chelsea players seemed to have found the feeling. Although not all players could immediately understand Cyril's actions and intentions, so as to understand his meaning and make corresponding cooperation, but this The smooth entry of the two balls into the net has given them some simple and direct information.

Once the players intercepting and pressing in front get the ball, they can just send it to the wing. Anyway, when Cyril makes a pass, there will definitely be a gap in Barcelona's defense!

There is no need to think about the principle, as long as the result is a goal, with this idea, Lampard, who successfully intercepted the ball from Xavi's feet, raised his foot and sent the ball directly into the wing. Gudjohnsen was about to pass the ball, but found that Cyril was no longer in the familiar position.

Gudjohnsen did not hesitate because of any game with Cyril, it seems that it has become the habit of the Blues players to hand over the ball to Cyril after receiving the ball in midfield. At this time, the Icelandic striker is like this. With a big kick, the ball was sent to the frontcourt!

Cyril, who was receiving the ball in the frontcourt, was blocked by Puyol and Reziger at the moment. One blocked his chance to shoot forward, and the other locked him down to prevent him from using it again. Cross in the same way.The first two conceded goals made them pay attention, this time they couldn't give Cyril a chance to open the gap.

They only wanted to lock up Cyril, but they didn't know that their actions just met Cyril's vision.

Although it is impossible to open the gap between Puyol and Reziger like the first two goals, when the two of them follow Cyril to defend to the side, it means that the other side has more Less, there will definitely be another neutral position!

Cyril, who got the ball, flicked his instep on the right side, and the ball crossed to the middle in an instant. Lampard, who inserted behind him, made another cross pass that was caught off guard. The ball was smoothly sent to Robben along a slightly inclined straight line. feet.

Barcelona defender Marcos immediately rushed towards Robben. He was the first to react among the Barcelona defenders. However, Robben dribbled the ball with his left foot. Marcos, cut inside and hit the goal!

"! Algero cut inside! Another unreasonable inside cut! Valdes looked like he was going to be stunned by these three goals! Before the game, countless people claimed that Barcelona had already stepped into the goal After reaching the quarter-finals, I thought Mourinho’s Chelsea would definitely cause an internal imbalance under the pressure of all parties from the outside world. Now it seems that this is not the case. Not only did Chelsea come to the Nou Camp without losing confidence, but their strength has greatly increased!”

"Only 10 minutes have passed so far, but Chelsea, who scored three goals in a row, seems to be ending the game in these 10 minutes! Now the total score is 42. Chelsea has three away goals and one. Home goal, Barcelona has two away goals, that is to say, if Barcelona wants to make a comeback, they must score at least three goals in the next game! Chelsea took Barcelona away in 10 minutes. In hell!"

Score three goals in 70 minutes, is it possible?

Yes, but Chelsea will never give them this chance.

Chelsea, having fully established their lead, quickly switched from offense to defense. The tactics are still defensive and counterattack, but the real defense is greater than counterattack. Only Robben and Duff will move in the frontcourt of Barcelona. Staying in the penalty area, he was tempted by Barcelona players in every possible way, just sticking to the goal.

The lead of two away goals was enough for them to defend until the end of the game.

On Chelsea's bench, Joe Cole lowered his head slightly, his expression darkened.

He will not really focus on the three Chelsea players who scored goals like the commentator. Strictly speaking, at least half of the credit for these three goals should belong to Cyril. At first glance, he seems to have done nothing. , But in fact, without his actions, Drogba and others would have no gaps to take advantage of.

At this point, Cyril has contributed a lot.

Mourinho does not often play double attacking midfielders. However, whether it is a single attacking midfielder or a double attacking midfielder, Frank Lampard is undoubtedly the number one main force. The starting position of the Blues' deputy team, even Cyril, Also hard to shake.

As a standard offensive midfielder, Joe Cole is the most suitable midfielder. However, no one can replace Lampard. Even if he wants to compete for the starting lineup, he can only compete with Cyril The second midfielder.

The two are both Chelsea players, and they usually train together. Of course, he knows how serious and hard this young midfielder is for training, and he also clearly understands what advantages this midfielder from Portugal has.

The Portuguese Super League is generally more technical, while the Premier League is more about physical confrontation. As a midfielder, whether he or Lampard may be able to make exquisite passes, it is difficult to do it like Cyril. The organization is wild and unconstrained in halftime, with weird and unpredictable imagination.Not to mention the finer organizational tasks of controlling rhythm.

Most importantly, Cyril is not like him.

Joe Cole is a purely offensive midfielder. In terms of defense and organization, he is relatively average, but Cyril is different. Today, Cyril has quite good offensive, defensive, and organizational skills. Performance.

If you were a coach, would you choose a player who is more comprehensive, or a player who is only good at a certain item?

What's more, Cyril may not be worse than him in terms of offense, which he is best at.

Clearly Chelsea's victory is in sight and they are about to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League. He should be happy right now, but Joe Cole can't be happy at this time. He clearly understands that he may have already Completely lost to Cyril.

This score was finally maintained tenaciously by the Blue Army soldiers to the end.

Although in the second half of the game, the Barcelona players tried to play some decent counterattacks, they completely gave up their offense and Chelsea, who were defending across the board, did not give Barcelona any opportunity. At this time, after Robben scored the third goal, they celebrated wildly Mourinho has also returned to the coaching bench, calmly chatting leisurely with the assistant coach next to him.

As the referee blew his whistle to announce the end of the game, there were cheers from Chelsea fans and boos from Barcelona fans. It was hard to say whether these boos were for Chelsea, but for the performance of Barcelona players. Protests of dissatisfaction.

In the stands of Camp Nou, Powell, who followed his home team all the way, also jumped up excitedly!

They won!They defeated the majestic Barcelona and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!Does this mean that now that the league championship is basically worry-free and the FA Cup has been promoted all the way, they can also start to aspire to the Triple Crown?
