Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 268 Deep irony

In the final stage of the first half, with Chelsea's aggressive attack, Manchester United's defense became more and more difficult. In the case of falling behind, Chelsea players were holding back their energy, which made the team's offense more smooth, almost 1 A shot was completed in minutes, which really made Ferguson frightened and unbearable.

Even with stoppage time, there are only 3 minutes before the end of the first half, but the old Jazz still chose to make substitutions. In Ferguson's mind, victory is the most important thing.

In the 44th minute of the game, taking advantage of a throw-in kick, the fourth official raised a substitution card for Manchester United: No. 6 Wes Brown replaced No. 18 Paul Scholes.

Wes Brown, perhaps many people have never heard of his name, but Brown, who is only 26 years old, is already a veteran central defender of Manchester United and has played for Manchester United for 7 and a half seasons.In 03, Ferguson commented on Brown: "He is undoubtedly the best defender in the club for so many years."

This kind of praise from the old Jazz is really rare, which fully explains Brown's defensive strength.

Obviously, his purpose of replacing Wayne Brown was to strengthen the defense. Even the old Jazz had a hunch that if he didn't do anything else, Chelsea would tie the score!

The veteran Scholes who was replaced didn't say anything. In the Manchester United team, with Ferguson's status and prestige, he no longer needed to consider other people's ideas, so that every time Manchester United made a substitution, he was very decisive.Even if these players feel a little depressed, they seldom speak out directly.

Seeing this substitution, the commentator Creed Pesvak commented: "Manchester United can't stand Chelsea's offense anymore. They replaced an avant-garde, but replaced a defender. Obviously, that old Scottish man Already worrying about their goal!"

"Before the game, this old man kept saying that he would play a wonderful match against Chelsea. It turns out that they don't have that strength, and they immediately turned into turtles on the pitch. This is Manchester United, and they will only use despicable means to win. It can be said that from now on, the Premier League has entered the time of Chelsea, and Manchester United has become a thing of the past!!"

At this time, the Blues fans in the audience were also excited. In the past, compared to Manchester United, Chelsea could only be regarded as a strong team-a strong team could never threaten the status of a wealthy family.

But now, even though Chelsea was the lagging side in the game on the field, Manchester United, who were really playing on the field, had no power to fight back, and forced them to make substitutions to supplement the defense at the end of the first half. Many older Blues fans shed tears --
They have been waiting for this moment for too long! !

The situation on the field made the Blues fans very excited, which also made the cheering in the audience not only did not decrease during stoppage time, but became more and more popular. The East Stand was led by the chairman of the Chelsea Fans Association. , and sang the exciting song——
"Blue is the colour"! !

Even though the referee had already blown his whistle to signal the end of the first half, the fans still consciously did not stop, and even the Chelsea players who had just breathed a sigh of relief sang together, waiting for the assistant coach to call them back to the locker room , before consciously stopping.

.........

Beside the player tunnel, Wayne Rooney, who was slowly walking back to the locker room from the bench, looked at the enthusiasm on the field and couldn't help saying to his teammates next to him: "These fans are so cute!"

"Yeah, they are as cute as Manchester United fans! However, we still have to let them down today." Roy Keane followed, patted Rooney on the shoulder and said.

"Haha..., victory is a must, because we are Manchester United!" Rooney said with clenched fists, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because Ferguson had no intention of letting him play in this game, and if he was replaced For Coles, he should be the most suitable, but the old Jazz replaced a guard, which made him feel that he had no chance to play.

"Come on, we are Manchester United!!" Speaking of the word Manchester United, Roy Keane's eyes became more firm.

.........

The few minutes that made Manchester United anxious finally passed, and the players on both sides also returned to the dressing room, but the blue singing in the stands was still loud. This is a kind of persistence, faith and firmness! !
When Jose Mourinho walked into the dressing room, the Chelsea players were more or less disappointed.In the first half, they won the scene, but lost the score. Even Wang Li sat in a corner dullly, quietly recovering his physical strength with luck.

However, the Portuguese did not look disappointed. In the first half, if Chelsea continued to maintain this kind of offensive intensity, it would be a matter of time before they scored. Besides, Chelsea had won 9 consecutive victories, even if they lost this game Well, that has nothing to do with him, it's all the fault of the team's face-saving chairman, isn't it?

However, Mourinho certainly would not admit defeat easily. After he clapped his hands and attracted the attention of all the players, he began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"In the first half of the game, everyone played very well. Even if we are behind now, it's okay. We will continue to maintain this offensive posture in the second half. It is impossible for Manchester United's defense to resist our attack."

"Allen, in the second half, your position should be a little bit higher. Walk more in the middle, reduce the number of passes appropriately, and find opportunities to shoot yourself."

Obviously, Mourinho has more trust in Wang Li than other frontcourt players. At least his offensive efficiency is much higher, and he will not waste a lot of opportunities. After he hesitated for a while, he reminded : "Frank, you must always pay attention to the backcourt while organizing the offense to prevent the opponent's counterattack. If you let them attack another goal, the game will not be easy to play."

Lampard nodded clearly, indicating that he would pay more attention, and then Mourinho continued to assign tasks to the rest of the players.

In the heart of this 'madman', each player is a small part of the team. As long as they perform their duties and do their job well according to his tactical deployment, then the game will win towards Chelsea The direction is tilted, of course, scoring still depends on some luck, which can only increase the probability of winning.

After the tactics and tasks of the players in the second half were arranged, Mourinho glanced at the players present and asked calmly: "Manchester United is undoubtedly the most successful club in England in the past 20 years. They have won many, many awards. honor, but why do so many stars still choose to join Liverpool, Chelsea or other teams?"

After hearing Mourinho's words, the players below frowned and began to think, only Wang Li grinned and said, "Because I believe that even Chelsea can win the championship!"

During the transfer, Wang Li felt that with his own strength, as long as he joined a team of players who were likely to win the championship, he could fight for various honors, so he replied without hesitation.

This answer obviously satisfied the Portuguese. He gave Wang Li an appreciative look, and continued: "Alan is right. As a professional player, the reason why you join Chelsea is of course the treatment. The important thing is that you feel honorable at Chelsea!!"

"So, in a moment, the second half of the game will be played. Manchester United is the opponent blocking our way. What should we do?"

Mourinho rarely encourages players in the locker room, but he has a strange charm, which makes these players respect and fear him more or less in their hearts. Chelsea players don't play hard.

And now, the words of the 'madman' have the same sensational effect! !
"Defeat them!!"

"Let them know how amazing it is!!"

"We will win!!"

……

Jose Mourinho is very good at grasping the hearts of the players. Few professional players have a sense of belonging to the club. They only care more about things related to their own interests. If it is to win the championship for Chelsea, maybe half of them will Players in the field will not be very interested, but if they say they are winning the championship for themselves, then the interest will increase greatly.

"Boss, don't worry, I will score in the second half!!"

After the players' enthusiasm for answers subsided, Wang Li said word by word. However, compared with other players' words, this sentence was the most convincing. No football player dared to speak out in a match of the same level. He is sure that he can score goals, but Wang Li can. With the help of martial arts, he fully believes that he has this ability! !
Seeing Wang Li's confident face, the locker room was silent for a long time. After waiting for a while, Bridget said jokingly: "Allen, I admire the way you say this the most, every time there is a sense of obscenity. The breath is spreading around you, no wonder so many English girls come to cheer for you!"

"Fuck off, that's called self-confidence!"

The haughty scene was destroyed by Brigitte, Wang Li became furious and kicked Brigitte to the ground.

"Fuck! You don't have to be so hard!!"

On the floor, Bridget rubbed his butt sadly and stood up, causing the locker room to burst into laughter.

.........

Chelsea's dressing room has turned from loneliness to laughter, while the visiting team's dressing room is just the opposite.

Originally, at Stamford Bridge, even though they were under pressure in the first half, it seemed that they did not have the demeanor of a wealthy family at all, but Manchester United always led by one goal, so these players were in a good mood. They believed that Sir Alex Ferguson's tactics Under adjustment, the game will definitely win.

But after the old jazz arranged tactics, the laughter of the Manchester United team no longer existed, but the whole team lost.Just because Ferguson's tactics in the second half were——
Defensive counterattack! !
Before the game, they clamored to play a hearty match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. After leading by one goal, they wanted to play a defensive counterattack——
What a ridiculous thing! !

Deep irony! !
