Chapter 153 I remember you

Facing Guardiola's Cosmos team, coaches all over the world are thinking about how to deal with it.

Mourinho was the most successful of them all.

The brilliance of Inter Milan's triple crown and Real Madrid's late Mu-style counterattack are all based on strict defense.

The most direct and effective way to face a player like Rossi who has a wide space for movement in the frontcourt is to compress his space.

He is not Messi, Chelsea does not need many players to come back to participate in the defense, it only needs the full back to drive him to the defensive area of ​​​​the midfielder.

Matic's defensive position is equivalent to Cambiasso's position in Inter Milan.

So when Mourinho made adjustments, he knew that the opponent's next tactic was to block Rossi.

If it can be intercepted directly, then Chelsea will launch a long pass attack directly in the backcourt.

If Rossi can control the ball and pass it back to his teammates, Chelsea will also organize a counter-grab as soon as possible.

With Cuadrado dropping back to participate in the defense, Chelsea's counterattack will start from the four of Cesc Fabregas, Ramirez, Hazard and Drogba.

These four have passing, speed, breakthrough, and shooting, and the positions of the four are not fixed and will change flexibly according to the situation on the field.

After Rossi passed Cambiasso back, it was Cesc Fabregas who immediately stepped forward to counter-rob.

Cambiasso first used his body to protect the ball and waited for his teammates to respond.

But after he went up, Matthew James was defending his space, and Drinkwater next to him was blocked by Matic again, and he had no chance to play the ball at all.

Cambiasso made a decisive decision and dribbled the ball directly to the Chelsea penalty area.

When the number of people is not dominant, the shot is forced, and the ball is higher than the crossbar and flies to the stands.

Then, without looking back, he hurried back to his defensive position.

This seemingly uncalm shot was actually due to helplessness.

If you don't do this, once the ball is intercepted, Chelsea's counterattack will go directly to the goal.

Under such a defensive tactic, if Leicester City wants to attack, it must increase the number of people in the frontcourt to cooperate with Rossi, so as to prevent him from being double-teamed alone.

Rossi looked to the sidelines, signaled that he needed help, and hoped to get the consent of the head coach.

Pearson knew what Rossi meant. After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head.

Since you want to attack, you can't shrink back.

Stud!
He called Drinkwater to his side and explained the tactics.

Cech kicks the goal kick and gives it to Fabregas, who organizes it.

Rossi stepped forward to defend at the first time, while his teammates all retreated to halftime.

Chelsea's counterattack requires space to take advantage of their speed.

If Leicester City adopts a high position to press again, then the space behind them is very suitable for the opponent to sprint.

Therefore, when defending, Rossi only needs to be close to Cesc Fabregas, and the rest return to half-court defense, making Chelsea lose their speed advantage in the frontcourt.

Under such circumstances, Chelsea can only use the personal abilities of Hazard and others to forcefully break into the penalty area.

The game has reached 75 minutes, and the physical fitness of both sides began to decline.

The leading Chelsea was not in a hurry and patiently organized outside the penalty area.

But Fabregas was angry.

After getting into positional battles, he has very few chances to get the ball.

Obviously he has space on the weak side, but his teammates just don't pass the ball. He couldn't bear it, and waved his hand angrily to express his dissatisfaction.

Mourinho also saw it, and shouted anxiously towards the pitch: "Pass the ball, pass the ball."

To fight positional warfare, an organization core like Cesc Fabregas is needed.

Teammate Ramirez heard the coach's words, glanced in the direction of Fabregas, and finally passed the ball to Cuadrado in the middle.

Xiaofa, who was ignored again, jumped up anxiously, turned his back to the attack.

Soon, Mourinho discovered something strange.

When Cesc Fabregas asks for the ball in midfield, Rossi will consciously move in his direction and Vardy will also move in the passing lanes to limit crosses.

Without the ball at the back, Cesc Fabregas will continue to ask for the ball.At this time, Rossi still moved closer to him and reminded his teammates to pay attention to the opponent's pass.

It is such details that prevent Chelsea players from easily giving the ball to Fabregas.

Because the ball was intercepted in this position, then Leicester City counterattacked.

Coupled with the previous continuous high-intensity games, Fabregas' state was not very good, and his running was not active enough, which caused him to be always restrained by his opponents.

"Cesc, run."

Mourinho urged him to increase his running range in order to get the ball.

Although Fabregas, who was already a bit frizzy, increased his running distance and had a few chances to get the ball, he was always marked by Leicester City's two people at the first time, without any threat.

Chelsea, who were playing more and more unsatisfactory, began to move forward. Fabregas also came to the front of the penalty area to organize the ball. There was only Matic behind him to protect him, dragging the last two central defenders.

Here, although Xiaofa can get the ball, the overly congested center makes Chelsea's offensive unable to start.

The small space allows Hazard to pass a defensive player, and there is no extra room to sway the defense that follows him.

Mourinho also tried to get two full-backs to attack, but Leicester City's five-back defense covered a large area and there was no chance at all.

Unable to attack for a long time, Mourinho replaced Fabregas in poor form with Mikel in the 80th minute.

Chelsea, which has no playmaker, gave Hazard more opportunities, hoping that he can use his dribbling to tear apart the opponent's defense.

But Hazard's state is not very good today, and Chelsea's breakthrough has not had much effect.

In the 83rd minute, Oscar came on and replaced Hazard.

Although the high-speed advancement of the frontcourt is maintained, without the organization of Fabregas and the series connection of Hazard, Chelsea's offense becomes simpler.

In the 85th minute, Oscar made a sudden shot after moving laterally at the front of the penalty area, and the ball missed the goal.

Two minutes later, full-back Ivankovic's cross found Drogba, but was cleared out of the penalty area by the defender.

In the past few minutes, although Chelsea had several shot opportunities, they were not threatening. Instead, they lost the ball because of the offense.

Although Mourinho made the players play more steadily on the sidelines, after the players got the ball, there were not many directions to choose. It seemed that there was no better way to deal with it except for a kick.

In the 87th minute, Mourinho was going to use the last substitution spot to replace defender Zuma to strengthen the defense.

When the Chelsea players saw the central defender Zouma preparing to play on the sidelines, they immediately understood the coach's intentions and stopped pressing the frontcourt. Instead, they waited until Leicester City pushed the ball to the center circle before stepping forward to press.

After Morgan took the ball to the top of the arc in the middle circle, he faced Drogba's forward and passed the ball to Rossi who retreated.

At this time, Chelsea's back line has not yet retreated to the penalty area. When Cahill saw Rossi retreat to get the ball, he immediately chose to press forward and did not give him a chance to get the ball.

Rossi has observed that Cahill is chasing after him. While retreating, he pointed back with his right hand, signaling Vardy to quickly slant into the space behind the central defender.

Then he didn't stop the ball, returned it directly to Drinkwater, and immediately turned and advanced, pointing his finger in the direction of Vardy's advance.

Drinkwater's vision, following Rossi's guidance, suddenly opened.

Moreover, Rossi's reverse run after passing the ball just took away Cahill and gave him enough time to pass the ball.

boom!
Drinkwater sent a penetrating through ball directly to Vardy's feet.

[Beautiful, scalpel-accurate through ball. 】

The on-site commentator suddenly cried out with excitement. After Chelsea scored the third goal, the game was a bit dull.

[Terry is chasing, but Vardy's speed is very fast, there is no chance. 】

[The goalkeeper strikes. 】

[Shoot, the ball is scored, the ball is scored! ! ! 】

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[Unbelievable, Leicester City was about to enter injury time, and Vardy scored a goal. 】

[2:3! 】

[This game still has to be watched! 】

The King Power Stadium was buzzing with deafening cheers.

Mourinho, who was off the field, walked to the sidelines angrily, glanced at the shelf holding the water bottles in the corner, and slammed it to the ground.

Rossi, I remember you!
