Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 289 Empiricism kills people (1)

Stamford Bridge, Fulham, London, England.

The match between Chelsea and Porto at home has gone on to the 30th minute of the first half, and the score is still 1:0, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.

Since Didier Drogba helped Chelsea open the scoring in the 20th minute of the game, the two teams have come and gone. Porto, relying on a set of defensive and counterattack 433 tactics, actually played against Chelsea on the scene in these 10 minutes. On par.

However, the anchor Creed Pesvak read the data in his hands and clearly showed the situation of the two teams in these 10 minutes: "Chelsea had 57% of the ball, 141 passes, 16 turnovers, and 3 shots. times, hit the door frame 2 times."

"...Porto had 43 per cent of ball possession, 83 passes, 12 turnovers, 1 shot and 0 hits on goal."

Obviously, from a scientific point of view, Chelsea still has an absolute advantage.

In fact, as the core of Chelsea's offense, Wang Li has been adapting to the midfielder position in the past 10 minutes. As a result, Chelsea's passing frequency has risen sharply. In 10 minutes, he created two goals for his teammates. Unfortunately, Gud Janssen and Robben's shots were all saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Baya, which also made the two teams fail to score within 10 minutes.

And Porto's counterattack momentum can't be played at all. The frontcourt general Alberto is defended so hard that he can't run at all, and Diego's performance is not satisfactory. Now that Chelsea has been attacking, he even participates in the backcourt. defense.

Porto's teenager Ricardo Quaresma has been wandering the wing, looking for opportunities to score goals, but his eyes have been fixed on Chelsea's No. 21, which is Wang Li.

Quaresma entered the Sporting Lisbon Junior Football School when he was 8 years old, and made his debut from Sporting Lisbon at the age of 18. He inherited the Portuguese-style foot skills. The unstable Ronaldo and Quaresmar are the absolute core of Sporting Lisbon.

Such excellent and stable performance also allowed Barcelona to buy Figo after he left. However, in Spain, the slightly immature Quaresma still fell into a continuous downturn.In the 22 league games he played for Barcelona, ​​he only scored one goal, which was far from people's expectations. For a long time after that, Quaresma could only watch enviously in the national youth team. Ronaldo, the little brother in Lisbon, went to the Premier League to make a fortune.

Because of this ups and downs in football, Quaresma worked extremely hard in training, and he always dreamed of becoming a big star like Luis Figo.Then, at the age of 21, he was sent to Porto by Barcelona in exchange for Deco.

In misfortune and fortune, after returning to the Portuguese league, Quaresma finally achieved the absolute main position in Porto with superior strength.

But now, the Portuguese star knows that Chelsea's No. 21 youngster is the strongest in Chelsea, even stronger than his friend C. Ronaldo in Lisbon. Thinking of this, Quaresma feels a little unconvinced.

In the first 30 minutes, Wang Li has broken through him 5 times in a row, but this not only did not discourage Quaresma, but also lifted his spirits. He has been planning in his mind to use his gorgeous footwork to give Wang Leaping around ---
If Quaresma finds a chance, he will definitely get the field back.

On the field, Chelsea won a free kick, but Wang Li kicked the ball on the left goalpost of Porto, causing the game commentator Creed to shout: "Today the goalpost blessed Porto. "

What followed was a counterattack from the Porto team, but this counterattack did not pose any threat to Chelsea. Soon, the football returned to the feet of Chelsea players.

In this game, Frank Lampard is the hub of Chelsea's entire backcourt. Although he can do well in the midfielder position, Mr. Mourinho still gave up on him. The most important reason is his Personal ability is not very outstanding, for example, his dribbling ability is really bad.However, in spite of this, in various Chelsea games, Lampard relied on the cooperation with his teammates, and his return was still excellent. It can be said that in the team, he, captain Terry, and midfielder Makelele are the most stable positions. people--
Perhaps, now we can add another Wang Li in the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Lampard passed it directly to Wang Li. In this game, he did this almost every time.

Although everyone in the audience could see that Porto's defense against Wang Li became more and more tight as the game went on, but this tightness did not have much impact on Wang Li. After so many games, it can be said that, What Lampard trusts the most on the field is the black-haired kid who just joined the team this summer, because he is almost omnipotent!

As soon as Wang Li got the ball, Quaresma forced him up.

Looking at this boy with a mohawk and a somewhat stubborn face, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a little admiration. In this match, he clearly remembered that this boy had been shaken away by him at least 4 times, and he fought with him. Teammates don't know how many times they get rid of him when they cooperate. In this case, the Portuguese in front of him can still continue to seriously participate in the defense. At least psychologically, he fully meets the criteria for a star's success.

This time, Wang Li did not choose to break through. He just kicked the ball to his teammate and ran towards the middle, leaving the position for Lampard who just stepped forward.

And the moment Wang Li passed the ball, Quaresma silently insisted in his heart that he must get the ball back this time, and it would be best to play 1V1 with this black-haired kid and use his own skills to regain his face on the court. '.However, just when his body started to run and wanted to keep up with Wang Li, Quaresma realized that his idea was really wrong. He had just taken two steps, and the moment he raised his head, he had already reacted Come here, but there is already a difference of 3 positions between myself and that black-haired boy!
Then, Quaresma saw that after the black-haired kid ran into his teammate Jorge Costa, his running speed did not stop. Instead, his body made a strange movement and was directly beside the latter Flash past! !While Quaresma was running fast, he didn't react at all, and directly bumped into Costa's body——
So, Quaresma fell on the grass with his arms around Jorge Costa.

This funny scene caused the fans in the Chelsea audience to burst into laughter. They were all laughing at the Porto player's overreach, and they wanted to follow in the footsteps of the dancing master on the court.

Immediately, the eyes of the Blues fans left the two Porto teenagers who just got up from the grass and spit indistinctly, because the game was not over at all, and when Wang Li ran near the penalty area line , he received a through ball from Damien Duff.

"Chance!!"

Everyone in the audience is watching the ball. The Blues fans know that this position is already within Wang Li's shooting range. As long as he finds a good opportunity to lift his foot to hit the goal, the possibility of scoring is extremely high. They are all looking forward to it. This scene.

The Porto defensive player next to him had the opposite idea in his heart.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, the choice of this black-haired kid at this point was almost always to pass the ball to Lampard, Gud Jansen or Drogba. Therefore, the moment Wang Li received the ball, Porto's backcourt The other players except Pepe hurried to step up their defense against other Chelsea players.

Indeed, this approach made Wang Li stunned for a moment. Of course, he was not at a loss, but he couldn't understand why these Porto players didn't come to stop him from shooting! ?
However, whatever the reason, at least now he has a chance!
The corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched, and he moved the ball to the left with his right foot. He kept up with the ball while adjusting his posture. After two steps, he turned around and volleyed! !Pepe next to him didn't react at all. Until now, he was still observing the other Chelsea players, wondering who Wang Li would pass the ball to! ?
I have to say that empiricism kills people! !

Under the eyes of all the fans and the annoyed eyes of the Porto players next to them, the football almost drew a straight line in the air and flew directly into the dead corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper Baya was stunned, apparently helpless, he could only make a symbolic jump to the left, but nothing was blocked at all.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ! ! ! Seeing that the black-haired boy on the field finally scored a goal, Creed couldn't help roaring, even at the end of the shout, his voice became a little hoarse. After he realized it, he quickly picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table and drank it. stand up--
"...goal!! goal!! Dance master, Alan Wang's goal!! A precise long-range shot hit the dead corner of the goal, and the opponent's goalkeeper had no choice!! This is Alan, our dance master , His long shot is really a stunt!!"

"...Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay on the big screen. Oh, my God, this ball is extremely accurate. I really don't know how Alan can practice such a precise long-range shot. His ability always To bring goals to Chelsea."

"...In the 35th minute of the first half, Alan Wang's long-range shot scored a goal for Chelsea. Now the score is 2:0. From here, I even knew that today's game will definitely be a big victory. Well, even though the great Mr. Mourinho has announced the lineup before the game, it seems that these Portuguese still have nothing to do, this is the gap in strength..."

Just after being scored by Chelsea, Creed’s sarcasm sounded in his ears, which made Mr. Fernandez extremely upset. For the first time in his life, he regretted why he had to learn English. If he couldn’t understand these words, maybe It was just a fly screaming in my ears, but now I can only cover my ears with my hands and endure this suffering helplessly.

After scoring the goal, Wang Li ran to a camera near the corner flagpole without waiting for his teammates to come to celebrate, and made a kissing gesture with a smile on his face, which excited all the reporters next to him.

Obviously, combined with what Wang Li said before the game, the meaning of his posture is ready to emerge.

It is said that the French are romantic, but the English are not much different. Many media reporters have already considered writing a romantic story between a prince and a princess tomorrow to attract the attention of fans. There is no doubt that this The black-haired boy has become the Prince Charming in the minds of many young girls in England. He is young, handsome, rich, promising and romantic. He is attracted by the aura of many men, which makes many single journalists feel a little jealous of him. Princess Angela of the royal family.

Chelsea 2:0 Porto.

After seeing Wang Li score the second goal, Mourinho, who was on the bench on the sidelines, also let out a long sigh of relief, although he vowed that Chelsea will definitely win, and he also declared that the game will be won with great fanfare It will be an absolute victory, but in fact he is still a little afraid of losing the game psychologically, but now that the team leads 2:0, he can already let go of his heart.

.........

.........

If we say that the Porto players were calm when they were one goal behind, but now they are two goals behind, everyone is anxious. They flew to London from Portugal with the hope of winning, but the current score is It seems to be telling them that the team is about to fail.

This is of course unacceptable to the Porto players.

Even though the head coach on the sidelines did not make any major changes on the spot, Poporto still launched several aggressive attacks under the command of the captain on the field. Seeing this situation, Mr. Fernandez did not say much , In fact, in this situation, Porto can only attack. If they can get one goal back in the attack, it will definitely help the game in the second half. a concept.

At this time, the Spaniard was still a little thankful. This 433 formation was the formation Mourinho used in Porto last season. When the Spaniard came to Porto, he only slightly changed it. The results in the league It also proves that it is really suitable for Porto. This kind of formation is very diverse. It can not only be a defensive counterattack formation of zone defense, but also can be pulled forward in the midfield to form a diamond-shaped position and change to an offensive formation. In this way, between offense and defense It's just a small adjustment.

Of course, this lineup also has disadvantages, that is, it has high requirements on the ability of the players. If it is an ordinary small team, no matter how high the level of the coach is, it is impossible to use this lineup.

After Porto started to attack, Chelsea began to defend tightly. As the captain of the team, John Terry's on-the-spot command ability is absolutely good. He hurriedly called several midfielders to retreat to stabilize their formation.

In the 39th minute, Ricardo Quaresma made an empty cut on the wing, and Sitaridis made a long pass from the backcourt. The football flew directly over Wang Li's head in the air and fell directly in front of Quaresma. I have to say that this long pass was really accurate, and even Wang Li couldn't help giving a thumbs up when he saw this scene.

After Quaresma got the ball, he turned around to protect the ball, and left William Gallas behind him. Facing Carvalho's double-team interception, he hurriedly poked the ball with his heel again. Leal who plugged in, then turned around and dodged to the left, just in time to receive a pass from Leal.

These actions were done in one go, showing Quaresma's excellent personal ability, which made the Porto fans who were almost silent in the audience excited.

However, this did not end. After receiving the pass, Quaresma looked up at the penalty area, followed by a precise through ball. The Chelsea defenders in the penalty area did not react at all, which made The ball flew directly from Carvalho and Terry.

At this time, Postiga and Diego happened to be on the other side of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the two who followed up did not react and missed the ball over the baseline.

Mr. Fernandez on the sidelines rubbed his forehead regretfully after seeing this scene. This opportunity was really the best opportunity in the first half. If this goal can be scored, the next game will be much easier to play.

' If only Alberto was there. ' The Spaniard couldn't help thinking, then turned his head to look at the bench, and a young man with brown skin and short hair came into his eyes.Mr. Fernandez rested his chin on one hand and thought for a while, 'Should I give him a chance? '

.........

Chelsea's counterattack failed to bring a goal, and Arjen Robben was directly intercepted by the opponent's defender from the wing.

Areias got the ball in the middle, and after a few times of cooperation with Diego, he passed the ball to Maniche on the wing. Maniche was the hero of Porto's triple crown last season. His strength is beyond doubt. His footwork is also very precise. Facing the incoming ball, he directly lobbed it into the penalty area, and the football fell right towards Alberto's point.

This season, Porto's more than a dozen games have proved that only Alberto is the most trustworthy striker.

However, this time Alberto failed to "fight". He was stuck in the penalty area by Chelsea captain Terry Moonshen, unable to do anything about the ball. In the end, the football was kicked out of the sideline by Bridget, dissolving Chelsea This defensive crisis.

In the past few minutes of the game, the two goal crises made the fans of the Blues hang their hearts. However, fortunately, the score has not changed. Chelsea is still two goals ahead. Everyone knows that as long as Chelsea enters with a two-goal advantage In the second half, Porto really had little hope of winning.

Of course, Fernandez is also very clear that Porto wants to equalize the score in the second half when they are behind by two goals.

Therefore, the Spaniard stood anxiously on the sidelines, shouting and directing the team's offense. Under this command, the morale of the Porto players seemed to be boosted, and they reorganized their offense every time they failed.

But in one go, then decline, and three exhaustion.

It was the same with Porto's attack, and when they attacked again, the football was cut off by Chelsea just past the half-way line, followed by a Chelsea counter-attack.
