Chapter 101 The genius of football coaching
After the second half restarted, Mourinho replaced Paul Ferreira with young player Glenn Johnson.
Glen Johnson was born in the old British club West Ham United. Among the many new stars trained by West Ham United, Glen Johnson is far less dazzling than his predecessors such as Lampard and Leo Ferdinand, but his journey to fame is surprisingly smooth.
In his first season as a professional player in 2001, Johnson was unable to appear in the first team. By October 2002, Johnson spent two months on loan at Millwall. At this time, West Ham United lost in the Premier League, so Johnson started to play as the main player since the second half of the season. Although he was unable to change his fate of relegation, he became the most praised rookie of the year.
When West Ham United was relegated from the Premier League in 2003, Glenn Johnson joined Chelsea for £6 million and became one of Chelsea members. At that time, he only played in more than ten Premier League games. It is generally believed that the outside world is not worth £6 million, but his value also set a record for transfer fees for under-20 players in Stamford Bridge's history. At the same time, he was also the first important acquisition made by Russian tycoon Abramovich.
Although this value seems insignificant in front of Crespo, Johnson's appearances at Chelsea have made many superstars jealous.
In his first season with Chelsea, Ranieri's promotion allowed Johnson to quickly settle down as the main right-back, and was recruited by Eriksson in a friendly match with Denmark, and began to appear on the international stage. Many people have regarded Johnson as Gary Neville's successor to England.
However, Johnson's career path will not be as smooth as he imagined.
In 2004, Mourinho came to Chelsea, and Glenn Johnson met his biggest competitor Paul Ferreira, who is Mourinho's direct descendant. Many people in the team were jealous. It can be imagined how much impact Glenn Johnson was. Especially when he was unable to play, there were still a full reason - he was only 21 years old and was still very young. Then... he... had insufficient experience.
Inadequate experience is indeed a problem.
When Ranieri coached Chelsea, Glenn Johnson was the player that the team focused on training. Now that he has left, Mourinho will not train an unfamiliar newcomer, so Johnson must face cruel and even somewhat unequal competition. His appearances have been affected and his condition cannot be stable. In many substitutes, there are problems with defense due to their rush to perform, which is attributed to the frigid and experience issues of young people.
In the England national team, his career path has also been bumpy.
Last August, Glenn Johnson had a chance to play as a substitute in a friendly match with Denmark, but his performance was very bad, and he has never played for England until now.
This is Glenn Johnson now.
With Paul Ferreira's performance poorly, Mourinho had to send the young player to play.
In fact, Glenn Johnson's advantages are still very obvious.
He is extremely fast and has very strong assist ability. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he seems to be frizzy in defense - he always likes to intervene in assists.
Now that Chelsea is behind two goals, it is precisely because they need a player who is motivated like Glenn Johnson. Mourinho hopes that Glenn Johnson's appearance can bring stability to the defense while also giving the team some support for offense. In contrast, Ferreira's style is too conservative, and he will hardly intervene in assists, so it is difficult to help the team's offense.
Wan Sheng saw Glenn Johnson's appearance, and he had expected this. People like Mourinho would not take into account the players' feelings. Replacing Ferreira would definitely be a blow to the players themselves. But the most important thing is always the game, so Ferreira's fate is inevitable.
Wan Sheng felt quite regretful.
If Ferrera continues to stay on the court, perhaps the team can find more opportunities on the left side. The Portuguese full-back's defense is very stable, but his mentality is too affected, resulting in no state in the game. If it were young Glenn Johnson, perhaps the team should be more careful.
...
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea immediately launched an offensive.
Chelsea's offensive interspersed with three routes, but the offensive on the flank is the sharpest. Joe Cole and Damien Duff are all good attackers. Lampard and Essin's support can also share a lot of offensive pressure.
During this process, Glenn Johnson's performance was very shining. He was very fast. He could drive the ball and run far if he didn't pay attention.
Manchester City had to strengthen the defense on the wing, especially on the left side where David Silva was located. It is difficult to defend completely by relying on Silva and Ziegler alone, so you must pay more attention.
Wan Sheng emphasized defense in the midfield, and Manchester City players were prepared for Chelsea's offense. Although Chelsea attacked very hard, Manchester City defended very steadily. It was still very difficult for Chelsea to get opportunities in the frontcourt.
At this time, many people have begun to make judgments on the general situation in the second half.
Manchester City fans were excited about the team's 2-0 when talking about the game, but when talking about the second half, they thought the team would play hard.
The media thinks so too.
Mourinho's Chelsea cannot surrender when two goals are behind. They will definitely attack and put pressure on Manchester City. If Manchester City is not careful, it will be no surprise that they are tied. So in the second half, Chelsea will generally strengthen the offense and Manchester City will strengthen the defense. The outcome of the game depends on how Chelsea attacks, but Manchester City will definitely have a higher winning rate because they have already led two goals.
Even the media and fans who support Manchester City cannot imagine another 45 minutes belonging to Manchester City. Just like in the first half, Manchester City has completely controlled the game, and it is difficult for Chelsea to fight back. Such a half is really perfect, and one is already satisfied.
So when we saw that Chelsea's offensives did not threaten several waves and Manchester City began to launch a counterattack, and even suppressed Chelsea for a while, many people did not react at all.
Manchester Stadium commentator Berbart is still anxious about the team, "We should do a good job of defense now, don't be so anxious!" He began to give Wan Sheng advice.
It’s a pity that Wansheng couldn’t hear it and ignored him at all.
Chelsea's defense was a little panicked for a moment.
They had no idea that when the team did not threaten several waves of offensives, Manchester City directly launched a counterattack wave. That feeling... it seemed that there was no difference from the first half. Manchester City just kept passing and cooperating and controlling the ball. Then they suddenly launched a fast attack when they found an opportunity. That kind of fast attack always caught people off guard.
In fact, this is also the essence of Manchester City's "kill" tactics.
The "kill" tactic focuses on two points - control and rhythm. In this game, in order to strengthen defense, Manchester City has put "control" to the limit. They use constant transmission and continuous control of football to fight their opponents. As long as the football is always under the feet of the team, they will always take the initiative in the offense.
Then there is the rhythm.
Controlling the rhythm is to keep the rhythm on your own side. When you achieve control and find a good offensive opportunity, you can suddenly launch an offensive. At this time, the overall speed of the whole team will suddenly increase the pace of the game and become tense. Manchester City is the active side, so they will naturally adapt first. Chelsea, as the passive side, will react slowly. They always need time to adapt, which is likely to become an opportunity for Manchester City.
Through the sudden acceleration of the offensive, Manchester City scored three times in a row near the Chelsea penalty area. As a result, Chelsea's defensive crisis was frequent, and several backcourt players had to retreat very much later to strengthen their defense. For a moment, the situation on the court seemed to have returned to the first half. Manchester City kept controlling the ball, and Chelsea could only passively shrink the defense line for defense.
This situation surprised many people.
You know, it’s already the second half, has Chelsea not adapted yet?
...
Sky TV commentator George Woodgate began to notice Wan Sheng very early. He has commented on Derby County and Manchester City many times, but his commentator has always been very neutral. However, because Wan Sheng's team has always performed well, he seems to be a hardcore supporter of Wan Sheng.
George Woodgate is very knowledgeable about football and does not use any guests at all. His own explanation and analysis are very professional.
Now seeing the situation on the court, Woodgate was also very surprised. He noticed that Chelsea was suppressed again and failed to make a smooth attack for three consecutive minutes.
"Manchester City seems to have regained the game. They are using their frequent back-foot control. I have to say that this style of play makes Chelsea have no good idea. They cannot push up and press, that's not what they are good at..."
George Woodgate analyzed, "Chelsea is facing a very difficult situation now. They are behind 2 goals, but they still have to defend well. Manchester City's way of controlling the ball is simply Chelsea's nemesis!"
George Woodgate's words really mean Mourinho's heart. Now he feels very helpless, but it's not because of "Manchester City is Chelsea's nemesis". In fact, in terms of tactics of the two teams, there is no nemesis or something. It can only be said that Chelsea is behind, so it becomes very passive. On the other hand, if Chelsea leads, they can play defensively counterattack steadily, and the pressure will be on Manchester City's side.
In short, the score is the key.
The problem is that it is difficult for Chelsea to attack when facing Manchester City's way of controlling the ball. They can press the ball all over the game, but attacking will definitely give Manchester City a chance. Manchester City's several attacks just now said that they are not as gentle as they appear. As long as they are given a chance, no one will suspect that the score will become 3:0, and Chelsea will have no chance at that time.
The game has reached this level, and Mourinho has no choice but to think about letting the team fight in the end. It is still unwise to make a big attack with impulsiveness. After all, it is still early, so you can continue to observe for a few minutes.
Just when he was thinking this way, trouble had already come.
In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester City made a series of dazzling cooperation, and the football suddenly passed to Musampa's feet. Musampa made a cross, but he did not cross, but dribbled the ball away by himself.
During the whole game, Chelsea played very passively. As a midfielder, Lampard also played a little anxiously. He was eager to completely intercept, so he was deceived by Musampa's actions. He wanted to chase back but had been pulled down several positions. He could only watch Musampa dribble the ball away.
Musampa threw away Lampard, Manchester City's overall speed accelerated, and the court became nervous for a while. Chelsea's defensive formation was suddenly a little messy, and Musampa took the opportunity to pass the ball to the middle.
Marklele is defending Morris, Essin is still in the midfield, and Joey Patton gets an opportunity without defense. He suddenly appears in front of the penalty area and shoots directly with the ball!
The football flew straight into the gate of Cech's handle like a cannonball!
"Joey"
"Barton!!"
"al!!!!!!"
Berbart roared hard, but he was still surprised in his joy, "Joey Barton! 3:0! Incredible! Manchester City led Chelsea 3:0, Joey Barton knocked on the door of Cech's handle with a powerful shot outside the penalty area! The score became 3:0, and there was no suspense in the game. Chelsea was beaten by Manchester City in the whole game without any strength to fight back!"
"This goal can completely determine the outcome! Three goals are not easy to catch up, Manchester City fans can celebrate in advance!"
Sky TV commentator George Woodgate also said, "3:0, an unimaginable score. Chelsea did not perform well in this game, and they were completely suppressed by Manchester City."
"Manchester City played their home advantage. They played very smoothly and also played the temperament of a strong team. After watching this game, no one could imagine that this is the Chelsea team that is dominating the European battlefield. They were completely beaten to lose their temper..."
"This is Manchester City led by Wan Sheng..."
With George Woodgate's words, the camera also pointed to the Manchester City bench, and the Chinese in the picture were surrounded by a crowd of people, and everyone was celebrating wantonly.
The picture was frozen on Wan Sheng's face. He did not celebrate randomly as he imagined, but instead seemed very calm. With a smile, George Woodgate couldn't help but say, "After two seasons, this Chinese man has been very calm. He is not like a rookie who has just entered the Premier League, but he already has the temperament of a famous coach..."
"There are many geniuses in the world. They have talents that others cannot match in every field. Now I can say that Wansheng is a genius in the football coaching world. He has done many things that fatal coaches cannot do in their entire lives in a few years..."
"This is Wansheng, a young man from the far east." (To be continued)
