Chapter 360 Upgraded Blue Army
"goooooooooa1! Gary Steed! This veteran pierced Akinfeyev's fingers with an extremely wonderful long shot, helping Tottenham establish a ball lead!" Seeing that the score on the court finally changed, Andy Gray immediately shouted passionately at the microphone.m. The mobile phone is the most traffic-saving and ad-free site. Since Chelsea can never open the situation on the offensive end, Tottenham players have devoted a lot of energy to defense and confrontation.
, The troops that can be used for fast counterattacks have also been reduced a lot. Therefore, although the game is extremely intense and the tactical and psychological battles of the head coaches of both sides are also extremely exciting, for most fans, such a game is a bit dull and boring. After all, most fans watch football games mainly to see the teams they support can win, and secondly, they hope that the game process is exciting enough to score enough goals to make them have the passion to persevere.
That's why Andy Gray was so excited after the goal. Because as long as the balance of the game is broken by one of the sides, the side behind in the score will take the initiative to attack in the next time in order to avoid losing. In this way, the game scene will become much better!
"Spider is truly a famous evergreen in Britain. In today's Community Shield Final, he not only withstood Chelsea's strong offensive on the defensive end, but also contributed a goal to break the deadlock on the offensive end." After appreciating Speed's wonderful performance, Martin Taylor analyzed the game situation with a serious expression. "To be honest, the situation facing Chelsea has become quite serious now. If coach Mourinho cannot make changes as soon as possible in the next time, then Chelsea is undoubtedly dreaming about standing on the podium at the end of the game!"
"Damn it, I'm fooled!" Seeing the Tottenham players celebrating the goal on the sidelines and the extremely eye-catching score on the big screen, Mourinho didn't realize that he had fallen into the trap set by George? However, the Portuguese madman didn't have the time or leisure to curse George, who seemed to be cunning with the Foxes. Because as Martin Taylor said, he knew that making adjustments to the team's tactics and getting back on track was the top priority!
Having figured out this truth, Mourinho immediately called Ribery, who was closest to him, and asked the French to notify others on the field to resume their regular style of defensive counterattacks, using the width of the court and the weak points of Speed's slow defense and movement to hit Tottenham's defense line, and then pose a threat to Tottenham's goal!
Mourinho's reaction is extremely fast. If it was not him who was sitting in this position at this time, but McLaren's reaction was always several beats slower than his opponent or head coach Ancelotti, who was not good at on-site command, then they might have to wait for a while until things are in an irreversible situation before they realize that something is not good. However, although Mourinho's adjustment can help the Blues stop the decline, it is still an unknown whether it can help Chelsea reverse the situation in front of them!
You should know that Chelsea has never been a team known for its strong offensive firepower. With the influence of the three head coaches, Gulit, Viali and Ranieri, who have been influenced by Italian football ideas, for eight years, the Blues have long formed a football style based on defense and solving opponents through quick counterattacks, which cannot be easily changed.
The reason why Mourinho was able to succeed at Chelsea so quickly and led the Blues to regain the league championship that last season for half a century was certainly one of the reasons. The main reason is that the tactical thinking of the Portuguese coach is very compatible with Chelsea's style. At the same time, Abram opened his pocket and spent a lot of money to buy many players who met the Madman team building plan according to Mourinho's wishes, greatly strengthening Chelsea's combat effectiveness and bench depth. As major competitors such as Manchester United and Arsenal began to decline last season, leaving the Blues with only one strong enemy left in the domestic arena. However, in the past year, Chelsea's attack power has not been greatly improved under Mourinho's training!
Therefore, when the opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, which is famous for its strong defense in Europe, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for Chelsea, who has obvious shortcomings in the offense, to equalize the score or even complete the reversal after strengthening the defense!
However, although Chelsea did not have many defensive methods to take Tottenham, in the same way, facing Chelsea's airtight steel defense line, Tottenham players also feel that they have no idea where to speak. Gala and Terry's central defender combination is extremely comprehensive. Not only can they complete their respective defensive tasks well on the court, but they can also help their teammates to assist in the defense and make it difficult for Spurs, who dare not invest too much offensive forces, to get the opportunity to threaten their goal outside the penalty area. The existence of two full-backs, Ferreira and Del Orno, is like putting two extremely strong locks on Chelsea's two flanks. In this way, even with Robben, Drogba and Ronaldo's strong one-on-one ability, it is difficult to create a threat under this level of defense!
No matter how many people say that Ferreira was able to beat Glenn Johnson by his master-apprentice relationship with Mourinho and became Chelsea’s main right-back. In George’s view, Ferreira’s performance in this position can be considered unsatisfactory even if he was not as exciting as when he played in Porto. At least, in the more than a year he played for Chelsea, the Blues’ right defense has been greatly improved, and no longer the right defense line was useless like Glenn Johnson when he was in charge!
Of course, Mourinho's adjustment is not perfect. Judging from the current results, the four defenders have devoted most of their energy to the defensive end, and the midfield is always paying attention to protecting the defense line and blocking loopholes. The offense is completely left to the responsible arrangements of several players in the frontcourt. While making Chelsea's defense more stable, it also greatly weakens the Blues' offensive power, which is not the top-level, making their hope of equalizing the score become less slim!
Football matches, especially in such a cup game that determines the outcome, are still better than who can score goals. No matter how good the defense is, the chances of this team winning will not be much higher!
Just like now, under Mourinho's command, Chelsea players have stabilized their position almost immediately, and have not given Tottenham a chance to further expand their lead. However, although Tottenham has no choice but to use this defensive upgraded version of the Blues, which is further ahead of the score, they can completely calm down and patiently pass and wait for opportunities on the periphery!
They have even experienced the defense of AC Milan and Juventus. What is a mere Chelsea team? When Terry and the others relax, it will be the moment when Tottenham completely crushed Chelsea!
