[football] walk side by side

"You better hope we don't lose." Powell thought angrily, watching Mourinho walk into the fans' stands under the "escort" of two UEFA staff, but at this moment He wasn't the only one who thought about it. If Chelsea lost this game, the two UEFA staff could only consider leaving the stadium with the thighs of the security personnel.

The only good news is that the Chelsea players seem to be doing well, and they have not shown a mess because of the loss of the head coach. They are even quite relaxed-at least Terry is still in the mood to make a joke and attract Several teammates around him laughed out loud.

This is a good sign, and to a certain extent, it gave the worried fans a shot in the arm. Maybe Mr. Mourinho has already arranged the tactics in advance?They couldn't help but turn their attention to Mourinho himself. The latter has already sat in the fans' stands, and is lowering his head to sign autographs for the fans...

No matter how you look at it, you don't look nervous.

Does this mean that the team is actually very confident in this game?

Powell thought to himself comfortingly, staring nervously at the court and not daring to move away. Speaking of which, this is the second time in Chelsea's history that they have played in the Champions League. They finally defeated Barcelona. If they stop at this position.No matter how you think about it, I feel very sorry...

While he was thinking wildly, the referee blew his whistle and the game officially started.

In fact, in this special game, Chelsea's performance was also somewhat special.

Chelsea launched an attack immediately after kick-off, and this attack is very different from the past.

The opening part of mutual testing with Bayern was directly omitted, and the moment the whistle blew, Chelsea immediately launched an onslaught. They did not use the usual ground push style since this season, but returned to the traditional English style of play!

For a long time, advancing on the ground has been one of Chelsea's preferred styles of play, because this style of play is more particular about the midfield, which tests the interception ability of the midfielder and also considers the organizational ability of the midfielder. The purpose is to pass the ball through the midfielder. To create opportunities for forwards is a delicate style of play that requires relatively high overall technical requirements for players.

But the long pass is different.

If the ground push is centered on the midfielder, then the long pass does not require the midfielder to be so high and does not require you to pass so delicately. For too long, avoid too much entanglement in the midfield. Once the ball is stolen or obtained in the backcourt, it will directly drive to the opponent's half and let the forward find opportunities by himself.

This is why before the game, Mourinho told Cyril that he does not need to be the core of the playmaker in this game.

Drogba directly passed the ball back to Cyril after the kick-off in the middle circle. At this time, Bayern's pressing also started quickly. Bayern coach Felix Magath repeatedly emphasized before the game that they should pay attention to this. As a Chelsea midfielder, don't look at how many goals he hasn't scored this season. Chelsea's chain defense can continue to stagnate, which is inseparable from his patience.

Before Lucio, who was ordered to defend Cyril, had time to get close, Cyril kicked the bottom of the ball.

In the game against Barcelona, ​​Cyril has fully demonstrated the purpose of his passing-maybe it is to open the gap, maybe it is passed to a fixed and dangerous player, in short, Cyril- Slade, a player with a more elegant and refined style of play, rarely makes some... rough, gambling passes.

But this pass happened to be right!

No subtlety, no detail, no more deliberation, this is a lob as simple as it gets!The ball flew directly from Chelsea's midfield to Bayern's midfield. It was simple and rude. If it wasn't for the accuracy that was completely in line with Cyril's style, the Bayern players would have suspected that this person was not the Cyril they "recognized" in the video tape. up.

However, it happened that this simple and rude lob made Bayern's players mess up.

——This is completely different from what you said! ! !

Don't you Chelsea like to defend and counterattack?Don't you love ground push fits?Don't you have a few very strong midfielders?What do you want to do by playing long pass all of a sudden?Leaving a good midfielder in this way, using this rough and backward style of play is really... something wrong!

Before this game, Felix Magath also worked hard against Chelsea, and deployed tactics for Chelsea's style of play, but no one had any idea that Chelsea would subvert most of what they were used to. The way of playing this season suddenly changed to a tactic that Bayern had never thought of!

After discovering that the head coach's instructions before the game were completely useless, the Bayern players naturally couldn't avoid being upset. The opponent knows nothing.

The unequal information will also affect the confidence of players to a certain extent.

And now, the ball fell outside the Bayern Munich penalty area.

Most of the Chelsea players in the frontcourt were forwards. Robben, Duff and Drogba were the three who rushed to the front after the opening, followed by Lampard who had a strong desire to attack.

Bayern's defensive players are not bad, and there is no problem in defending these players separately. The original tactics have a way to deal with the opponent's pressure, but no one thought that Chelsea's attack would come so fast. Hang, the football flying in the air will definitely be faster than people!

In this way, the Bayern players who were rushing forward to press down could be said to have flown back to their penalty area before the ball touched it!

Mourinho has explained that - looking for Drogba in the frontcourt, of course Cyril will not give the ball to Lampard, Robben or Duff, so at this moment the ball fell exactly in front of Drogba.

When "Warcraft" received the football, he was not far from the goal. He took the ball and did not run a few steps before stopping the ball and hitting the goal decisively!Although Sagnol can't press at the moment, he can use his body to interfere with Drogba's shot.

At this time, it showed why Mourinho asked to "find Drogba in the frontcourt".

Because he is physically good enough to serve as a defender, and at the same time supplemented by excellent sense of smell in front of goal and shooting skills, Sagnol tried to interfere with him, but was pushed aside by Drogba and forced a shot!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Didier Drogba! It's unbelievable, Chelsea players don't seem to have any discomfort without the manager, they even lead Bayern first! No wonder Mourinho behaved in the stands The wind has calmed down, it looks like their tactics have perfectly restrained Bayern Munich, they don't seem to be able to react to this kind of play."

The commentator commented: "It has to be said that this goal can be said to be caused by the game between the two coaches. Mourinho accurately predicted Felix's approach and formulated a series of tactics. In contrast, Felix seems to have failed, he was guessed by Mourinho and has no underwear left."

"Long pass, as we all know, this is already recognized as a backward tactic, but no one thought that Mourinho would suddenly choose to use it in such a heavyweight game, at least from here we can conclude One conclusion - a considerable degree of trust has been established between Mourinho and his disciples, otherwise Chelsea players would not have resolutely implemented this 'backward tactics'."

In the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the stands from the home team cheered!

Mourinho didn't make any excited celebrations at the moment, but sat calmly, smiling reservedly.

The fans sitting next to Mourinho were especially excited. If it weren't for the alienation factor in Mourinho's temperament, maybe these excited fans would jump up and give him a passionate kiss.

The UEFA staff on both sides also breathed a sigh of relief. Chelsea scored a goal, which will undoubtedly make their situation a lot better. At least those fans are now more willing to sing a song of praise for their players. Instead of wasting time giving them the middle finger.

A goal was conceded in less than 1 minute of the opening, which made the Bayern fans from afar show painful expressions. However, it is obvious that their painful journey today has just begun.

Chelsea, who scored a goal with a long pass, did not return to the usual ground advance, because this "backward tactic" was the only tactic Mourinho formulated for this game, and Bayern's tactical mistakes also It is directly expressed through the slow-moving actions of the players on the court!

Felix Magath arranged for Lucio to defend Cyril closely, but after scoring the first goal, Cyril began to advance more. He seemed to suddenly lose interest in passing the ball, and he began to Constantly cruising between the midfield and the frontcourt, sometimes retreating to the back to defend, and sometimes rushing to the front to play a cameo as a striker.

When Cyril acts as a striker, Lucio can still defend him closely, but what about when Cyril acts as a defender?Especially when he plays the kind of guard who stays in the penalty area and defends honestly?

Not to mention the fans, Lucio thinks this kind of defense is very stupid. Isn't it a waste to defend a defender who doesn't go forward?

But don't defend...

"Ohhhhhh!!! Slade sent a beautiful through ball! Somehow, after seeing most of the rough passes from Lislade in this game, this time Slade's style I really miss passing the ball—it is no exaggeration to say that Slade is definitely one of the best-looking players in the Blues. If Slade becomes a 'muscle' like Drogba... God, that would be horrible! Luckily, he still seems to have kept his style..."

"Duff headed in and Kahn swung to the left... Goal!! It went in!! This time it was Damien Duff who scored for Chelsea with a crisp finish from outside the box He shook his head and successfully blasted the ball into the net!!"

"At least half of the credit for this goal has to be credited to Slade. His beautiful through ball directly tore through the Bayern defense and sent the ball to Duff - maybe it was not just Bayern who were at a loss. It's just Chelsea's tactics, Slade has gained absolute freedom in this game, and this kind of freedom makes it difficult for Bayern to parry..."
