After Chelsea experienced a period of scientific and high-end training during this period, Qin Tian made obvious progress in his understanding of football and handling some details. Games are the best means of training and progress, but training with high-level teammates is also an excellent way to improve personal abilities.

Lampard's good sense of ball and team sense, and his game experience has been accumulated since childhood, which is incomparable to players like Qin Tian. The two also communicate with each other in their daily training, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and become more and more perfect in the midfield cooperation.[]

In the past, Chelsea's midfielders focused on passing the midfield quickly, and their role was basically a transitional nature, with their powerful forwards Drogba and Anelka shooting. When the game was in a state of anxiety, Essin and Lampard in the midfield were more likely to use powerful shots to seek opportunities to break the deadlock.

Of course, there is no problem with such a tactic, but the single attack mode is singular, and there is no problem with the transition between the front and back courts. There are many mistakes when the game is not smooth, which has also become the reason why Chelsea always seems to be a little worse in the last goal when facing other strong teams in the European game.

With the arrival of Qin Tian this season, Chelsea's shortcomings in the midfield's lack of ball control ability have been greatly compensated. When he held the ball, he did not pass it to his teammates in the frontcourt at the first time, but observed the situation on the field, so as to cooperate with his teammates around him, and handed over the ball at a more suitable opportunity. It is obvious that Drogba has completely benefited from such a team cooperation this season, and the goal is not as difficult as before.

As Qin Tian’s teammate, through this period of time and his understanding on and off the court, everyone has gradually recognized his current status in the team. As Lampard said in an interview with reporters, if there is anything different about Chelsea from before, or what different about himself from before, it is that in the past, it only focused on the cooperation between the midfield and the forward or the cooperation between the two wings and the forward, and rarely combined all the players in the midfield. The previous style of playing smoothly could make the opponent suppress the entire game. Once the opponent was defended, he would stop the fire directly.

Now it's different. Qin Tian's vision is very broad. When people joke, they often say that Qin Tian is a person with a gaze behind his head. He will basically grasp the gaps he can find on the court. Now Chelsea has completely used the involvement and running of Qin Tian, ​​Lampard and Ozil on the right to mobilize the opponent's defense, and run around as he sees the opportunity to catch his opponent off guard.

Di Matteo is now seeking other tactics to adapt to Chelsea’s different choices when facing different opponents. Currently, Chelsea’s preferred style of play is the control-style style of playing in the midfield links in front and back courts, which is quite different from Barcelona’s short pass penetration. This style of play is not a problem with the attack of strong teams, but it still lacks a tactic of fully controlling the game when fighting against weak teams and defeating the opponent with overall strength.

If you want to completely suppress your opponent by relying on your overall strength, what you need is that the team's players' personal skills must be very good. Now Chelsea has players who are good at technology, Qin Tian in the midfield, and Jirkov and Ozil on both wings. All three of them can dribble the ball and break through separately, giving Dimatio a very good choice.

After discussing with his coaching team, a new tactic was formulated. First, in the back defense, Essin and Lampard were placed completely in the midfielder's position, using Essin's fierce personal defense ability, Lampard's outstanding physical fitness, and goalkeeper Cech, he could not be afraid of the offensive line of any strong team. After blocking the ball, he would immediately hand it over to Qin Tian or the left and right wings in the midfield, take the ball forward and cooperate with the breakthrough, use his personal skills to tear the opponent's defense line, and finally hand the ball over to the forward.

Maybe you can defend one, but what about the other two? But such tactics are difficult to implement, and they have high requirements for the personal ability of the ball-controlling players and physical fitness. When I first tried this method, in addition to Qin Tian not being very troubled, my previous playing style was mainly Qin Tian's personal ability. Ozil and Jirkov seemed rather uncomfortable, especially Russians often deformed their technical movements due to tension, or had physical fitness shortcomings for a long time. For this reason, Jirkov did the most in his recent training in physical training and repeated this set of tactics.

With the continuous practice of new tactics, Jirkov and Ozil's self-confidence and personal ability are getting higher and higher. The team's entire front, back and midfield division of labor are clearly reflected, but the timing and effect of this tactic still needs to be tested through actual combat.

On September 16, 2009, the first round of the 2009-2010 European Champions League group stage officially began. Chelsea's first game was home against Porto. In this game, Di Matteo also sent all the main players on the court. After all, the new season has a good start and is at home, so naturally there is no loss.

Porto's nickname is "Dragon". The club was also facing a crisis of disbandment in its early days. When Montero da Costa was uneasy in 1906, it saved the team. As the club with the most international events among the three shots in Portugal, it has two European Champions League champions, two League Cup champions and two Toyota Cup champions, the results of domestic competitions are second only to Benfica.

The team's most glorious time was in 2003. In 2004, under the leadership of the madman Mourinho, the team not only eliminated many European giants, but also won the League Cup and Champions League championships of that year. But as the saying goes, there will naturally be a low point when there is a peak. After that, all the stars in the head coach were snatched by the giants and have never recovered from then on.

So when facing the magnificent Chelsea team, Porto is very clear about his goal, that is, to use his active defense to minimize concessions and strive to enter the top 16 in the group at the second place.

"Oh, we saw Qin being knocked down by the opponent again, and the referee still did not make a penalty. Did we say that our players had to break their heads before taking out the sign on your chest?" Astor was so fucked by the referee's call, Astor was obviously trying to suppress his anger. The Chelsea fans on the sidelines had already booed, and Di Matteo protested to the fourth referee on the sidelines for the fourth time.

But no one paid attention to Chelsea's complaints and protests, "Oh, is this playing football at Stamford Bridge? Is this our home court? I thought I was at Dragon Stadium now." Astor rolled his eyes and looked unhappy.

However, the Portuguese's tenacious resistance lasted for less than 30 minutes, and the lower gate of Chelsea's attack was lost. Qin Tian's vertical high-speed breakthrough in the middle made Porto's middle defensive players unable to defend. In desperation, he could only pull Qin Tian down on the lawn. The referee finally gave Chelsea a free kick in the frontcourt and showed the first yellow card of the game.

Qin Tian, ​​Ozil and Lampard stood in front of the free throw point, and after a quiet discussion, the three of them took a few steps in three different directions, all of whom were on their hands and waiting for the referee's whistle to sound. The scene shots were always on Qin Tian's face. After all, everyone wanted to see if the 100 million yuan worth could complete their first goal in the new season of the Champions League.

With the referee's whistle, the other two people were indeed feinted attacks. Qin Tian pulled the last kick. The football bounced up from the ground like a car running at a high speed, rubbing against the air, and flew past the wall in front of him...

"gooooooooooooooooal, haha, it's a completely predictable scene. Qin Tian completed his goal, and a beautiful free kick, the Portuguese had no chance," Aster shouted loudly.

After the ball entered the goal, Qin Tian also opened his arms, like an eagle soaring in the sky, running along the sideline, and kept shouting something to the fans in the stands. The response to him was the collective cheers of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, "Qin!"

The Porto people were helpless and had expected the goal conceding in this game, and they had done their best to defend, but the subsequent game trend was undoubtedly quite difficult for the team. Sure enough, Qin Tian's goal was like pushing the first Domino card, and the second ball came soon.

In the 44th minute, Ozil's personal skills were displayed from the right. After receiving Qin Tian's troll, he faced the defensive player and constantly changed his feet. The ball seemed to stick to his feet, rolling back and forth. The opponent's player was a little unattention, Ozil suddenly started, poked his toes, and then penetrated his crotch, twisted his body and accelerated from the opponent's side and ran over.

Drogba ran to the right side of the penalty area and was ready to pick up his teammates at any time. After the two of them collided with each other, Ozil took two steps and suddenly transferred the ball to the left side of Jirkov. This transfer obviously made the Porto people at a loss. By the time they went up to press, the ball had already passed into the penalty area. Drogba, who had already run back quickly, jumped high and swung his head slightly, 2:0.

The Porto goalkeeper was completely powerless to do anything about such a goal, and even stood there without moving.

"goooooooooooooooal, Drogba! The score has been rewritten to 2:0. His goal efficiency this season is quite amazing," Astor quickly flipped the information in his hand and said.

Di Matteo was also very satisfied with this ball, and his training also achieved initial results. The goal was first from Lampard and Essin's double block in the backcourt. After breaking the ball, he pushed the ball straight to the front, and Qin Tian quickly passed the ball. Ozil's personal breakthrough on the side, and the large-scale transfer was the finishing touch, and the final header was the icing on the cake.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Stamford Bridge's scoreboard was frozen at 3:0. Chelsea scored another goal with the opponent's own gift in injury time. This own goal was also mentioned in reports from various media outlets after the game. The general feeling is that the Porto people seemed to be killed by Chelsea a little uneasy. When Ozil made a cross, there were no Chelsea players around the defensive player. This pass should be considered a mistake, but in the face of such a ball, the Porto player actually pushed into his own goal when he cleared the ball.

The 3:0 score also announced in advance that there was no accident in this game, although there was still 45 minutes left for the second half of the game.

Chelsea scored 3 goals in the first half, and Chelsea's performance was perfect, which almost locked in the victory of the game and killed the opponent's chances of winning or even equalizing. I believe that European football is shocked by the attack power displayed by Chelsea at this moment.

"The Porto team, the big dark horse in the Champions League, is now like a little sheep who can be bullied. Where did Porto, which once brought out by a madman, swept the Champions League powerhouses? He was scored 3 goals in the first half just. It seems that this is a game of massacre. Qin Tian's competitive state has made everyone admire him. Although his opponent is not the strongest, this state and ability to play in the game undoubtedly make those teams that did not get Qin Tian in the summer. In addition, we also see that the two Chelsea wing players play more confidently and automatically assume more responsibilities than before. Is this a change brought by Mr. Di Matteo? Or is it just a flash in the pan of this game, which is worth looking for answers in Chelsea's future games." The Times and many other English media evaluated the performance of the two teams in the first half before the game ended.

The two teams exchanged venues in the second half. After a brief adjustment of 15 minutes, Chelsea's offensive was obviously relieved after the game restarted. After all, the strength of this opponent and Chelsea is quite different. There is no need to let the players spend most of their energy on entanglement with the opponent. Avoiding injuries is a prerequisite to ensure that the team wins on all fronts. In this regard, Dimateo also needs to remind his players not to be too excited.

In the 48th minute, Ashley Kohl, who assisted in the front and back, and crossed the ball with Jirkov, passed the ball to the middle. Qin Tian jumped high and headed the ball to Drogba. The Ivorian's heavy artillery shot was blocked by the goalkeeper's calf. Qin Tian, ​​who followed, pushed the ball directly to Ozil on the right side. Ozil followed with a volley. The football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper flew to save and actually saved the shot. This save was undoubtedly a world-class performance.

This is the case on the football field. When the away game is played, the score is behind. No matter which team is, they have lost the fighting spirit of resistance. This is the case with the Porto team now. They are eager to leave this ghost field quickly and forget this damn game as soon as possible.

The commentator Astor had long seen that the Porto people were not interested in fighting and kept teasing, "What are the Portuguese doing? Continue to fight? Do they want to create a record of losing a big score? Haha, maybe this is not an impossible task."

If everything can continue on the football field as everyone hopes, then the football has probably become meaningless. Chelsea's lead against Porto unexpectedly happened while leading by 3 goals. In the 60th minute of the game, Jirkov, who performed very well in this game, was injured again.

Head coach Dimateo was full of helplessness when he saw this situation. In this situation, his assistant coach talked to him about such worries before the game. Now Ozil and Jirkov are like calfs who have been lifted out of ban, playing on the lawn with all their hearts. Because of excitement and trust, they have to perform more confidently than usual, and want to try many moves. There is only one result, that is, injury.

In the entanglement with the other party, Jirkov kept doing bicycles and forcibly broke through the other party's body. The ball passed, but the person stayed in front of the other party and wounded his thighs, and had to be replaced by Maluda in advance.

Taking advantage of Chelsea's substitution adjustment and inattention, Porto took the opportunity to launch an attack. After the rapid advance of the frontcourt, Ivanovic's carelessness almost brought a disaster to the team. Porto forward broke into the penalty area, and Cech attacked, and the opponent fell down. Fortunately, the referee was clear and Cech did not touch the opponent at all. Otherwise, if he was awarded a penalty, it would undoubtedly be a huge damage to the Blues.

Dimateo continued to adjust personnel. This time he replaced Ozil, and the young player Obotan was replaced. Obviously, he didn't want to hurt another general anymore. At the same time, Dimateo also frowned at the quality of Jirkov's shooting. Although the players were unwilling to be injured continuously, if this continued for a long time, his left side would become the target of the opponent's focus on attacking.

Although Ozil felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that he was replaced, he knew that the head coach was protecting himself, so he could only choose to accept it. The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge also expressed their greatest praise to the German boy with their applause.

Porto, who did not seize the opportunity, will naturally be hit by the opponent. Before the end of the second half, Borini, who came on the bench, added icing on the cake to Chelsea and contributed the team's fourth goal. Chelsea defeated his opponent 4:0. Such a score satisfies every Chelsea fan on the scene.

In addition, the referee of this game was also hotly discussed after the game, but the positive comments were obviously more than negative. In addition, the game itself also attracted high attention from media from various countries. Porto, as a traditional top three player in the Portuguese Super League, was beaten by his opponent in such a game without any power to fight back. This was something that no one expected before the game. It cannot be said that Porto is too weak, it can only be said that Chelsea is too strong.

"The Blue Storm is coming, are you ready?" This is the title that The Guardian put out the next day, completely representing the questions raised by all the media about other European teams, and everyone is waiting for the answer to this question.
