The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 409 Same as Chelsea

"With that group of kids, they won't get anything this season!"

"When the game is over, if we still have eleven people on the court, the victory must belong to us!"

"2:0 is not a fair score. According to our performance, it should be 6:0."

"This is a young team, and Ye Qiu is also a very good head coach, but he is not omnipotent, but I still believe that under his leadership, this group of young kids will avoid relegation in the Premier League this season. The problem is not big, even if they are now ranked No.15 in the Premier League, they are only one step away from the relegation zone!"

"The main reason why Tottenham Hotspur won the Carabao Cup is simple, they are willing to fight for this trophy, but we have to stay in the Premier League and the Champions League, so it is not a one-off. Fair game, Tottenham Hotspur win by fluke!"

"In the last round of the league, at Stamford Bridge, we will definitely beat Tottenham Hotspur!"

Surprisingly, what came out of the visiting team's dressing room at Stamford Bridge was the voice of the home team's Chelsea coach Mourinho. Through editing, his wild and rebellious voice spread in the visiting team's dressing room, making everyone present Every Tottenham Hotspur player was upset to hear that.

This recording has collected almost most of the quotations about Mourinho’s evaluation of Tottenham Hotspur this season, and all of them are selected from those passages with a very obvious provocative tone, and finally converged into this paragraph with only a short Less than 5 minutes short, but easily irritating recording.

That Portuguese man is so crazy that people feel uncomfortable when they hear his voice!

After listening to the recording, Ye Qiu looked at his players silently. He knew very well that this group of players had a bad impression of Mourinho for a long time in the past. Ribery, Van Persie, Fabrega Needless to say, the four players who switched from Chelsea, Si and Messi, other players also have a bad impression of him.

A very important reason is that Mourinho's mouth is too poisonous, and he seems to be holding on to Tottenham Hotspur. He has to say a few words about Tottenham almost every round. For Tottenham, especially when the team performed poorly in the first half, he was not stingy at all to add insult to injury.

Ye Qiu played such a recording at this time to remind all the players that the team has finally waited for the chance of revenge!
"I think, for the game, we have emphasized too much in the past week, and we have trained a lot, so there is no need to say more now, but I hope that every one of you, After listening to this recording, we all think about our experiences in the past year, and then think about what we have to face now."

"We have experienced doubts, even criticisms, we have experienced troughs, and we are even close to relegation. We rely on teamwork and concerted efforts to get to where we are today step by step. We have obtained such an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. !"

The visiting team's locker room was so quiet that only Ye Qiu's voice was left. For the pre-match preparations and final mobilization for this game, Ye Qiu had already made complete preparations, and even the timing was just right. , This is the ability that any head coach must have.

"Jose Mourinho, the manager of Chelsea, at the beginning of the season, he said, you're a bunch of shitty kids, I can't win anything with you, but we beat Chelsea three months ago, He won the League Cup, but he was not convinced, he said it was unfair because he didn't try his best!"

When Ye Qiu said this, he sneered, "I'm a strange person. I like to do everything well. He felt unconvinced in the League Cup final. Well, this game, at Stamford Bridge, is related to their current season. The championship belongs to him, he should try his best? Then we are here, in this game, to beat them!"

Ye Qiu shook his head again, with a sneer and a sarcasm, "I don't believe that our Mr. Jose Mourinho would be so bold as to not even have the league championship. What excuses and reasons are there!"

"I once said that if Chelsea's biggest goal this season is to win the Premier League four times in a row, then our biggest goal this season is to stop them from winning the title. God gave us such a chance. We stopped them in the Carling Cup. They also missed in the Champions League and now we have to beat them again in the league!"

"After this season is over, I really hope to see a Chelsea team that can't win anything, and we have at least one League Cup title. I am looking forward to seeing the expression of the Portuguese at that time. I believe you Everyone present is the same as me!"

When he said this, Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief, and shook his head, "This is not a battle of revenge, this is a battle of rectification of the name, to rectify the name of our team, to rectify our own name, Prove to everyone that we are young, but we have the strength to win everything, and any team that doubts us will have only one end!"

"Same as Chelsea!"

Before the game, the radio at the Stamford Bridge Stadium played exciting and explosive music, which is usually used at home to arouse the emotions and enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. the biggest difference.

It's as if you play a DVD at home, and you will never feel the atmosphere of sitting in a movie theater and watching a movie.

What's more important is that the mood is up, but the mood is still uneasy, because this game they played against Tottenham Hotspur led by Ye Qiu, and they all knew very well that Tottenham Tottenham's strength is not bad, and more importantly, they have an outstanding head coach.

Chelsea fans know better than anyone what Ye Qiu's coaching ability and tactical ability are, that's why they are so uneasy.

Because Carvalho was sent off with a red card when he played against Arsenal in the last round, so Chelsea's main central defender will be adjusted in this game, but it may be due to the fact that the central defender Lai who was introduced from Tottenham Hotspur this season with a lot of money. Deli? King has just returned from a long injury, so Mourinho did not arrange for him to start, but let the Dutch defender Boulahrouz partner John Terry.

Goalkeeper Hilario, defense Ashley Cole, Borahrouz, Terry and Ferreira, the midfielder is behind Makelele, the defensive midfielder is Makelele, Ballack, Deco and Essien are in the front position, With Lampard playing the front midfielder and Drogba alone in front, the overall formation should be 41311, which is a change of 442 tactics.

Mourinho has also tried 442 many times in the past two seasons, but he used the double striker combination of Shevchenko and Drogba, but the effect was not ideal, so over time, he was gradually thrown away. After that, the 442 was a combination of Drogbag and a speedy winger, but in this game Mourinho did not choose a winger.

If you simply look at the current lineup, Chelsea seems to be playing in the midfield, using this group of powerful midfielders to hang Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, and everyone thought that Chelsea would consider When he was defending strong and attacking weak, and adopted defensive counterattack tactics, Mourinho did the opposite.

There is nothing too surprising about Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup. At present, the team has a complete main lineup. The goalkeeper is Peter Cech, and the defense line is Vargas, Hangeland, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfielder is Beckham, Mascherano and Fabregas, and the front trident is still a combination of Ribery, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Messi.

In the main lineup of both sides, except for Carvalho, who was suspended due to a red card in the last round, almost all of them are on.

But Tottenham Hotspur, which was supposed to be the best at opening the game, was suppressed by Chelsea, who were playing at home, after the opening game.

In less than 30 seconds of the opening, Chelsea midfielder Deco played a long pass over the top. Drogba quickly passed through the defense of Tottenham Hotspur and stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Next, Tottenham Hotspur was shocked in a cold sweat, but followed closely, but Chelsea's back row didn't have time to keep up.

Drogba held the ball alone in front, leaned against Hangeland with his body, was forced into the corner by Hangeland and Vargas, had no choice but to kick the ball to Hangeland, out of bounds , earned a corner kick.

"Chelsea's opening has a kind of intention to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. At the beginning, I will hit you off first, let you know that this is my home court, my site, and at the same time it will shock you. It's just that Mourinho's starting lineup is not it. A bit biased towards the center? Or, biased towards defense?"

Deco took a corner kick, Terry headed high from the center, goal kick.

But when Petr Cech sent a goal kick and was quickly pushed back by Terry, Drogba still took the ball in the frontcourt and did it back. Lampard followed up and attracted the attention of the defenders before giving it to the defender. Ballack, the latter shot straight up with a long shot.

All the Chelsea fans in the audience exclaimed. Ballack's long shot was a bit far away, but the quality was very high. However, Cech's position was very stable. Ballack's long shot was more like a direct hit. Cech's arms.

Perhaps affected by Chelsea's two consecutive offensives after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur is also preparing to play a fast break this time. Cech directly throws the ball to the unguarded Beckham, who turns around and kicks directly. The long pass landed precisely behind Chelsea. Ribery quickly overtook Ferreira and caught up directly, but this time Hilario rushed out of the penalty area early and grabbed Ribery. The ball made a big foot clearance.

The two sides played back and forth at the beginning of the game, playing very quickly, and the ball was changed very quickly. Often, the ball was changed continuously within 1 minute. Instead of shrinking defense as predicted by the outside world, midfield suppression is adopted.

Ye Qiu was a little surprised that Chelsea adopted such a tactic, but he didn't think there was anything strange about it. Whether it was Makelele, Ballack, Essien, Lampard, or even Didier Drogba in the frontcourt, they all A typical muscular man who can run, rush, attack and defend, especially Essien, whose running ability is even more outstanding.

With such a strong muscle group accumulated in the midfield, Mourinho's choice to shrink the defense is too disadvantageous. Instead, the defensive area should be expanded. On the one hand, it can fill the problem of the disconnection of the front and back courts encountered in the League Cup final, and shorten Deloitte. The distance between Pakistan and the midfielder ensures the quality of the team's attack from the back. On the other hand, it can also suppress Beckham and Fabregas.

For a long time, Tottenham Hotspur's front trident has an obvious feature. Ruud van Nistelrooy is very high, because he has to be close to the penalty area to be effective, Ribery and Messi's positions are also They are all relatively high, because if they want to play the pass of Beckham and Fabregas, they have to attack the opponent's two sides at the first time, so they can't shrink too far back.

But now Chelsea have adopted a strategy of strangling the middle, suppressing Beckham and Fabregas, and curbing their passes, which is equivalent to cutting the connection between Tottenham Hotspur's striker and midfielder, especially for Tottenham Hotspur. Beckham, who has the ability to pass long passes, spares no effort to contain it.

"After the opening, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was a bit chaotic!" Andy Gray was a little surprised by this scene, because he and everyone thought that Tottenham Hotspur, which is good at offense, would dominate The game, but from the scene, Chelsea seems to have taken the initiative.

However, Chelsea's offensive threat is not great, because their main offensive means are two now, one is to find Drogba, play a tactical fulcrum and push in from behind, and the other is to find Ashley Cole, to open up the width of the wing .

For the former, the triangular area formed by Thiago Silva, Hangeland, and Mascherano firmly restricted Drogba's performance, and even many balls passed to the frontcourt were very difficult. It was difficult to find Drogba, and Tottenham Hotspur's defensive area did not shrink back in this game, which made Chelsea's offense seem to be active, but they could only shoot long shots.

Perhaps there are indeed quite a few long-range shooters in the Chelsea team, but that depends on the circumstances. If they enter the 30-meter area frequently like they are now, no matter whether there is an opportunity or not, as soon as they seize it The timing is the key, and the quality of the long-range shots played in this way cannot be high.

"Chelsea took five shots after the start, but they were all long shots. Only Ballack's first shot hit the goal, and all the others were missed. The overall position and layout of Tottenham Hotspur are not good It is very orderly, and the mutual defense is in place and reasonable, so once Chelsea's offense enters the 30-meter area, it is difficult to make effective cooperation."

"Originally, Mourinho should have another choice, which is Ashley Cole's left wing, but Ashley Cole's desire to attack forward in this game is not very strong. Maybe this has something to do with May It has something to do with Xi’s position being more forward.”

When Andy Gray said this, he sighed with emotion, "Tottenham Hotspur's offense is a bit beyond the limit of distance. There is a long passer like Beckham with precise long-distance passes, plus a With Cesc Fabregas, who plays both long and short balls, Tottenham are not worried about a disconnect between front and midfield."

"Yes!" Richard Keith nodded in agreement, "For Tottenham Hotspur, disconnection is not a big problem, as long as the three frontcourt players can contain the opponent's defense line, as long as they can run out of opportunities. , and the players in the midfield can also have the opportunity to play the ball, which can form a threat."

"This is also the reason why Chelsea's defense, especially Ashley Cole's side, dare not press up boldly. Tottenham Hotspur's front trident's personal ability, especially Franck Ribery and Messi They are very capable of holding the ball, as long as the ball reaches their feet, they can often create a threat."

Andy Gray also gave support to the partner's analysis, "The current situation is a bit chaotic. Both sides are still adapting to each other's tactics, and they are still figuring out how to break the deadlock set by the other side. To break the deadlock is nothing more than two means, adjustments at the tactical level, or the individual performance of the players."

Richard Keith shook his head with a smile and said: "But obviously, both sides are very familiar with each other, and they have studied each other thoroughly. This is a game without any secrets. I believe that all tactical adjustments are There won't be any big surprises between the coaches of the two sides."

"If Mourinho wants to make a change, it should be to replace the winger and strengthen the wing attack, and Tottenham also has a lot of choices, such as replacing Yaya Toure, the Ivorian player. His body is very strong, his ability to hold and protect the ball is excellent, his passing is also quite good, and he is a very characteristic player."

"Another one should be Dutch striker Van Persie. We all noticed that Tottenham Hotspur have played a few games this season, especially in the UEFA Cup. Van Persie performed well after starting. His range of activities is better than Van Persie's. Ni is bigger, but in such an important game, no one knows how much Van Persie can play."

When the two commentators were analyzing, they saw that the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder finally made a gap. Beckham and Mascherano hit the wall back and forth to cooperate, and Beckham suddenly retreated. Go to the front of the defense line, and after getting the ball, make a long diagonal pass directly.

I saw Messi quickly plugging in on the right, and after getting the ball, he faced the pincer attack of Boulah Luz and Ashley Cole who were chasing back. Covered and brought it out, but after passing through the penalty area, Terry grabbed ahead of Ruud van Nistelrooy and made a clearance.

"Wow, the small Argentine winger Messi is really good at handling the ball. This season he was completely activated by Ye Qiu in Tottenham Hotspur. The astonishing performance of five players scoring lore goals is called Maradona II, and he is becoming more and more confident with the ball!"

Andy Gray is clearly very impressed with Messi.

"Small players have a very advantageous feature, that is, a low center of gravity and a very flexible body. In addition, Messi's feet are very skilled and delicate, and his speed and direction are very random. It makes all the defensive players who encounter him a headache. Because you don’t know how he will play next, just like Boulahrouz blocked the position just now, but Messi suddenly stopped and smashed the ball, and he passed you!” Richard Keith said to This is also very surprising.

Since five people staged the lore goal in a row, Messi's performance has really become more and more confident, more mature, and has made great progress.

"Let's see, Tottenham Hotspur just played a threatening attack, and this time Chelsea is going to counterattack!" Andy Gray clearly saw that after the siege just now, Chelsea was still a little slow to stabilize The situation suddenly accelerated now.

"Makelele takes the ball, passes it to Deco, Deco takes it forward, passes it again, Drogba, turn around!"
