Chapter 939 Di Matteo's tactics

While Ai Huan was standing on the balcony looking at the Thames River and thinking about Chelsea, Chelsea's coach Di Matteo was carefully watching the video of the last match between Schalke and Barcelona in his office.

Although he has always said that Chelsea cannot be compared with Schalke, which is now in the limelight, but in fact his heart is full of yearning for defeating the opponent. This time may be the best time, after all, the current team Almost all the players in the field are experienced and in the best condition, and by the end of this season, many people will leave, maybe even himself is one of them. He is not willing to admit defeat so easily, and he will never Just admit defeat like this, he wants more things, and there is only one chance.

It will be a clash of two very different styles, with Schalke's side, even by the most demanding standards, still going to be a force of possession.Players like Mata, Joaquin and Fuchs are almost all skilled. Even if they don't win possession in front of Barcelona, ​​it doesn't mean they will lose football at Chelsea. They will definitely try their best to control it Based on the situation on the field, not to mention that they still have Ai Huan, who makes people have a headache when they think about it. This extremely fast midfielder's style of play is really annoying.

DiMatteo was subconsciously drawing on the paper while watching, and the graphics that appeared on the paper at this time were obviously a defensive formation.There are a few teams such as Manchester United and Bayern that used extreme pressure on Schalke at the beginning of the game to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and it will have some effect. The ground suppressed and was unable to move in the half, which eventually led to their victory over their opponents last year.

"Then let's do the same, at least my staffing is no worse than Manchester United." Di Matteo drew a circle on Ai Huan's name, making up his mind easily.

Retreat to the backcourt and line up three defensive midfielders. Di Matteo has used the defensive formation before, but this time it is a variant, but he believes that his players can easily understand it.Push Ramirez to the left, use his personal ability to target Mata, and prevent Mata from too much activity on the right.Let Malouda be on the right side. Although this is not his best position, he can effectively compress the width of the game and disrupt Fuchs. This three-meter dominance must have someone who can attack and defend him. live.

Chelsea's priority, however, was to stop Ai Huan from penetrating the centre, forcing him to move wide and eventually into his own half.Lampard is on the left, Mereles is on the right, and then they switch positions. Mikel is in front of them to cover Ai Fan closely. It doesn't matter whether it can be done or not, just keep stable and don't do anything else Too much consideration.

Di Matteo stopped writing again, and once again his gaze was fixed on Ai Huan's figure on the screen.Mikel's role is also very important. Usually in a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 system, the central player is usually the deepest of the three midfielders, but Mikel has to move forward. Pressing on Evan, Lampard and Mereles will be in the middle and very close to each other.When the ball came to the wing, Mikel had to drop back and re-form the three-man defense. Sometimes he also retreated a little deeper than the other two, but he rarely appeared alone in front of the back line. and less.Wanted here he draws an accent symbol next to Mikel's name.

If this tactic works, it means that Ai Huan will be completely imprisoned in his carefully arranged cage and cut off his connection with the outside world. Only in this way can he have to go back to catch the ball by himself and keep him away from his goal. The farther you go, the safer you are, that's for sure.

After the defense is in place, only the offense remains.After getting the ball, Chelsea only need two tricks.The first is to pass it to Drogba, pass the football to him as much as possible, and let him decide what to do. You have Ivan, and we also have Warcraft. This is our biggest killer.Drogba's aerial superiority will make them afraid, so Schalke can only push him far away from the goal. At that time, Ai Fan may defend alone, then everything can go according to plan.

The second trick is to go down the left lane and attack behind Krishto.Of course Criscito is the most attacking full-back, so it is not surprising that he often appeared in Chelsea's half, but from another point of view, this is also a bit surprising, Criscito After the assist, there will be a gap behind him. Since Di Matteo, an Italian, still knows a lot about himself as a fellow, he chose a path that no one thought of.

In this way, Ramirez has become the key. He is not only the best in physical strength in the Chelsea team, but also the best at hitting up and down, so he is the real sharp knife in this game, and Gundogan's defense is better than Di Matteo's. It seems to be Schalke's weakest link.

"I want you to know that we've gone back to the more successful Chelsea we had before. Playing on the counter-attack, trying to pass the ball to the post centre-forward, dropping back, using the No. 9 as a point of reference... we're going to be a team. A very, very dangerous team, we are more like motorcycles now. More speed, more forward passes, no matter who is the dominant side, but one counter attack from Drogba will lead to a goal, you can only Look, I'm going to tell you what it means to be a real team with unrivaled counter-attack speed."

Di Matteo finally made the final decision. He threw the pen on the table, then stood up a little excitedly and walked to the window. When he opened the window, he found that it was raining again, and the raindrops were falling obliquely. On the somewhat ancient Gothic roof of the club, his mood was as disturbed as it was at this moment, but so determined and composed.

"I have done everything I can, and the next thing is to see the situation on the field. Magath, how do you answer my arrangement? What do you think? Now it's time for you to make a move."

After Di Matteo lit a cigarette and took two puffs, his excitement gradually calmed down, but when he turned around, the moment when Ai Huan scored a goal appeared on the screen. At this moment, he seemed to be As if being punched hard by someone, I just feel depressed in my heart, this bastard is too difficult to deal with, what would he look like if he was in my team?
