Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 231 Everything Is For The Bonus

After the Chelsea players celebrated the goal, the first half of the game had reached stoppage time. Although the Chelsea players wanted to try their best to tie the score in the final time, they still failed under Middlesbrough's full defense. what can be achieved.

With the whistle of the referee, the players all returned to the locker room.

This game is still the most difficult game played by Chelsea since the start of the season, and they also experienced the first half-time lag in it, so the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room is not very good, almost all players are low Think about things in the game.

At this time, Mourinho walked into the locker room. Unlike the players, there was no trace of displeasure on his face, but a smile on his face.In fact, although the score is now behind, Mourinho knows that this is just the poor performance of individual players, coupled with luck, it has nothing to do with the players' performance and pursuit of victory.

Therefore, he praised the players' performance in the first half as usual, and then began to arrange the tactics for the second half of the game.

"The opponent's defense is not bad, but their left side is empty, and they have to defend the right side." Speaking of this, Mourinho glanced at Wang Li, turned his head and continued: "So, in the second half we still have to defend the right side." Mainly attack the left side, Allen, don’t always run towards the penalty area, but stand outside the right side of the penalty area more, pin down the opponent’s defenders, if they change their strategy to defend the left side, then you get the ball and shoot directly when you find an opportunity .”

After Wang Li heard this, he nodded clearly. If he always stays in the penalty area, not to mention the same position as Drogba, but this also makes it unnecessary for the opposing players to defend him all the time. Lu's attack was about to be thwarted.

"Edur, you replaced Wayne in the second half, look for opportunities in the penalty area, and shoot directly when you have an opportunity. We need to use crosses to break the opponent's confidence."

Mourinho's doing this is obvious. Edur Gudjensen is 1 meters tall, which is about the same height as Drogba. Both of them are strong high center forwards. After replacing Gudjensen, Chelsea is in the penalty area. The competition for the top is even more threatening.

In this way, Chelsea's formation has become a 343 all-out offensive formation. This is also the formation that the team has to choose when the team is behind. In fact, although this offensive method is very threatening, the team's defensive ability will decline. A lot, of course there are gains and losses——
There is no best tactic, only the most suitable tactic!
"Sir, how do you think McLaren will respond?" Clark asked suspiciously while the players were resting.

Mourinho thought for a while, spread his hands, and said: "I don't know, I don't know him very well, and his tactical ability is also very good."

Clark rolled his eyes, thinking that there is no difference between this and not saying anything, but he still admires Mourinho in his heart. Since the Portuguese came to Chelsea, he has really opened his eyes, and only then did he know that those champions The coach is not obtained by luck, just look at the hard work of this Portuguese every day.

And following Mourinho for such a long time, Clark also learned a lot. He felt that if he studied with Mourinho for a few years, he would definitely have the strength to coach a top league team——
That is also Clark's goal and dream! !
.........

After the opening 5 minutes of the second half, as the two teams really played against each other, Mourinho knew the opponent's coping strategy, and secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Simply put, it is to shrink the line of defense and attack all the way!
Middlesbrough's midfielders retreated sharply and used a dense defensive formation to deal with Chelsea's left-sided offensive. easy.

While relying on dense numbers to accumulate defensive capabilities, McLaren did not give up on offense. Yes, like Mourinho, he will not completely pin his hope of victory on that elusive luck.

In terms of offense, McLaren chose the middle lane. Because the line retreated, most players would defend and participate in the defense. There were not many players who could participate in the offense, so they only attacked one way.He adjusted the formation to 5311, and only used the two veterans in the frontcourt-Viduka's speed and Hasselbaink's stability to play defensive counterattacks.

In this way, Middlesbrough has both offense and defense. While Chelsea's offense is blocked, they also have to worry about the opponent's surprise attack being fatally attacked.

Although McLaren's tactics are very subtle, they are also based on their own team's poor tactics and helpless tactics. In any case, this is also passive, so on the scene, Chelsea still has the initiative. Threatening Middlesbrough's goal again and again.

In this kind of tension and anxiety, as long as Middlesbrough can successfully defend the remaining time, or take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chelsea with a goal, then the victory must belong to Middlesbrough, and vice versa.

In the cheering and cheering of the fans of the two teams in the auditorium, the two teams started a fierce confrontation in Middlesbrough's half. On the left side, Joe Cole and Gremi made frequent crosses, Drogba and Gud Jansen Competing to find opportunities in the penalty area, but Middlesbrough's defense was too tight, coupled with some luck, the game has passed 20 minutes, Chelsea still failed to equalize the score.

During this period of time, Wang Li has been hovering near the right side of the opponent's penalty area according to the instructions of the head coach, and the opponent's back has to be distracted to guard him. Although this has a great effect on Chelsea's overall offense , but in the eyes of the fans, Wang Li's performance was very ordinary, even a bit clumsy. For example, he hadn't touched the ball for 5 minutes.

At this time, the coach Mourinho on the Chelsea bench couldn't sit still. On the green field, the football was rolling around in Middlesbrough's half, but he just failed to score. This situation is the worst. Yes, the result of gaining power and failing to score the ball must be losing the game. He knew that he had to make tactical adjustments.

Taking advantage of a throw-in time, Mourinho went to the sidelines and called captain John Terry to give him a brief explanation of the tactics. Terry nodded after listening and returned to the court.

Seeing Mourinho's behavior, Steve McLaren felt a little uneasy. He knew that the opponent would definitely change his lineup, but he didn't know what the Portuguese would do. He could only sit Here, wait for the situation to change.

At this time, Chelsea's formation changed again on the field. Wang Li ran behind Drogba in the middle, where the attacking midfielder or shadow striker was located, while Gremi retreated slightly. In this way, Chelsea's formation , it became 343. However, this time there are no left and right midfielders. On the wing, only Joe Cole and Scott Parker wandered across the board. Lampard and Gremi occasionally supported and participated in the defense on the wing. Task.

Yes, Mourinho intends to focus on the center! !

On the field, Middlesbrough still made a triangle encirclement of Wang Li, but this time their defense was very difficult, because Chelsea had Didier Drogba and Gud Janssen on the front line, and Wang Li was protected in the back position. This kind of dense center attack made them a little overwhelmed, and it was difficult to do a good job of defending with three people in a small area.

This makes the situation in Middlesbrough precarious! !

After waiting for a few minutes, with Middlesbrough's goals frequently in crisis, McLaren finally understood Chelsea's tactics-to attack the center with all their strength!

This style of play made McLaren a little overwhelmed.

The Chelsea team simply gave up the attack on the side, and used their strong midfield ability to fully support the center. In the center, there are two high center forwards, Drogba and Gud Jansen, plus Wang Li, a shadow forward and midfielder. There is no doubt about this offensive ability. Even if there are some loopholes on the wing, offense is the best defense. Chelsea completely made up for these shortcomings with offense.

For this tactic, McLaren couldn't think of a countermeasure at all for a while. Obviously, Mourinho just bullied Middlesbrough players whose personal ability is generally lower than that of Chelsea. Laren's triangle encirclement tactic is very classic, but in any case, it is also in the scope of "smartness". The triangle encirclement can defend Wang Li alone, but with Drogba, Gud Janssen and even Lampard behind him and Gremi, how can they guard against it! ! ?
Faced with this situation, Middlesbrough was directly embarrassed. Without the command of the head coach, their defense was full of loopholes from Chelsea's attack. Finally, when the game went to 75 minutes, Chelsea ushered in another goal. .

Lampard organized another massive attack near the center line. After a few passes, the ball was handed over to Joe Cole on the left. Gremi, Gremi shoveled the football, and the ball flew to a position about 5 meters in front of the penalty area line.

At this time, Wang Li was on the penalty area line. He hurriedly turned around to grab the ball with Ling Boweiwei. With a lift of his chest and his left foot, the football landed firmly under his feet.

After the Middlesbrough players saw Wang Li get the ball, they immediately followed the coach's order and surrounded them. However, the number of defensive players is limited, and it is impossible for them to take care of so many players at the same time. Lampard became unguarded. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Li kicked the ball diagonally towards Lampard. The latter caught the ball and put it straight into the penalty area. Good Jansen caught it. This opportunity, hang the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with one kick.

The Blues fans in the auditorium immediately erupted! !
The calls of thousands of people even shook the entire stadium, they waited too long! !

"Goooooooooooal!!! Edur Gudjansen!! Brilliant, this attack is so beautiful!! From Allen to Lampard, from Lampard to Gudjanssen, the pass of the three, It directly penetrated the opponent's dense defense line, and in the 76th minute of the game, Chelsea finally equalized the score!!" Although Wang Li did not have much to do with Wang Li from assists to goals, the anchor Graham was still very excited— —
"This game was very difficult, but now it seems that Chelsea still have a chance. There are still 20 minutes left in the game. It is too early to say who will win and who will lose. Looking at the whole stadium, it is really exciting. Extremely, but it is a pity that in the first half of the game, Chelsea's mistakes caused two goals, otherwise there would be no suspense about the result of the game now!"

I have to say that Graham's theory is really full of loopholes: if Chelsea hadn't conceded a goal, the game wouldn't be so exciting... It seems that when you love a team to the extreme, your IQ will drop a lot.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Chelsea players celebrating the goal, Middlesbrough coach Steve McClaren hurried to the sidelines and told the players to do a good job of defense in the next time. It is impossible to win , but an average game against Chelsea is also a satisfactory result.

Finally tied the score, the Chelsea players also let out a long sigh of relief. However, there are still 10 minutes before the end of the game, and they still have a chance to pursue victory. Of course Wang Li also thought so. Enough aggrieved, the opponent's defensive tactics against him made him unable to use his hands and feet at all. However, under Chelsea's offensive, he still has a chance.

At this time, there was a shout from the direction of Chelsea's bench: "Alan, make another one! Otherwise, the bonus will be gone!!"

Wang Li was taken aback, and turned his head to see that it was Bridget. At this moment, Bridget's face was full of anxiety. He ran to Wang Li and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Alan, you have to go in again." One, there is a prize of 100 million pounds in this game! At least 8 pounds of me!"

Wang Li rolled his eyes and said, "You only think about your own money!"

"Of course, you have to know that when Furtado and I get married in the future, it will cost a lot. If you save more money now, your life will be better in the future." Bridget said as a matter of course.

At this time, the nearby players also gathered around and smiled at Wang Li. If anyone can score in the next game, they will undoubtedly think of Wang Li, the black-haired kid's scoring efficiency With such a high level, he has never had a 'no-goal record' in a single game.

Seeing what they meant, Wang Li also knew that everyone thought of 'sterling', and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, 'This is really a pound team. ’ But in fact, he also felt that it was a pity that the bonus promised by the chairman was gone.

Moreover, this is not a bonus for one game. If you win the next game, it will become 110 million pounds——
In this world, money is always so attractive!
"Come on for the bonus!" Wang Li raised his head with a smile, boosting his morale.

At this time, all Chelsea players stood in a circle, holding hands together, and shouted at the same time: "1, 2, 3, for the bonus, come on!!"

This scene was captured by the stadium's big camera and directly displayed on the big screen. Perhaps, this will become Chelsea's laughing stock... or an honor! ! ?
