Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 301 Chelsea's new tactics (2)

After the team coach Mr. Jose Mourinho carefully explained on the tactical board, all the players in the team roughly understood the purpose of this tactic, and then turned their heads to look at Wang Li in unison.

'This kid is so lucky. ' Almost everyone has that idea.

This offensive tactic is completely built around Wang Li, and it can almost be said that it is a tactic specially tailored for Wang Li by Mr. Mourinho.

In a football game, the defense at the rear must be comprehensive, so that the team's defense has no loopholes. In other words, it is best for the players on the defensive side to cover the entire second half. Defense, as the name suggests, area defense means that A is responsible for A area, B is responsible for B area, and so on.

This is just zone defense, but no team dares to say that it can do zone offense.

After all, the frontcourt is the territory of the opponent. Even if it is a large-scale attack, it is necessary to ensure that there are defensive players staying in the backcourt. In this way, the investment of troops will not be too much, and it is not easy to do a good job in regional offense.

And Mr. Mourinho's so-called 'regional offensive tactics' is to let two or three Chelsea offensive players pay attention to the position changes between Wang Li and Wang Li when they run, and make sure that their positions are not too far away or too far away. Too close, so that every time Chelsea attack, Chelsea can cover a large area, and the football will be passed around in it, but it is always centered on Wang Li.

As long as the players do not make mistakes in their running positions, Wang Li can have many options when dribbling the ball, making Chelsea's offense more diverse and maximizing Wang Li's role in offense.

Of course, this offensive method sounds bluffing, but there is nothing surprising about it. If Wang Li makes a mistake, such as being intercepted, etc., then Chelsea's offense will completely fail, and it will be impossible to fight back. It's a difficult thing. Obviously, in this kind of attack, Wang Li's role is quite large.

However, no matter how many loopholes there are, this tactic has minimized the opponent's defensive players' restrictions on Wang Li. This is the most important point, and this is why Mr. Mourinho has worked hard to create this tactic the goal of.

In the offense, if there are 2,3 or [-] players whose running positions keep up with the rhythm and keep a certain distance from Wang Li's position, then Wang Li's choices will increase a lot, and when the offense is blocked, the players can also choose Pass the ball back. According to Mr. Mourinho's long-term observation, he found that even if these passes are a bit off, the black-haired kid can always receive the ball in a strange way. If this premise is true, then, The probability of Chelsea conceding the ball becomes very small.

In the eyes of the Portuguese, the black-haired kid in the team is not only a highly skilled player, but also almost an iron man, because he never gets injured. Nistruj's serious foul, but the final result was that the Dutchman was admitted to the hospital and has not recovered until now.

Therefore, if this tactic is really successful, it will be more difficult for the opponent to restrict his performance. As long as Wang Li plays the game, there are no more restrictions, and he can score 3 or even more. With too many balls, how can the opponent win? ---
Chelsea's defensive ability is not a display! !

Thinking of this, Mourinho became a little happy. When he thought about it, he used this tactic as Chelsea's secret weapon. When he played against Arsenal, with Wang Li's own performance, he could score three of them or even more. With too many goals and the final result of N:0, which team in London can compete with Chelsea! ?

Thinking about the face of that annoying Frenchman after this kind of game, Mourinho felt refreshed.

It has to be said that Mourinho, who usually has a serious face, also has some bad tastes in his heart. For example, for his competitor Mr. Wenger, he always tries his best to embarrass him. Maybe this is also a hobby.

.........

Many players still have complaints about this set of tactics.

But the head coach arranged tactical training, so even if they don’t want to, they still have to train hard. What’s more, Wang Li’s interpersonal relationship in the team is not bad. Even if we don’t talk about this, no one dares to question his strength. ---
Because Wang Li scored more goals than the rest of the team combined!
"Damien, you go a little further to the right, pay attention to running, don't waste time with defenders!!"

"Frank, when you plug in, pay attention to your position, don't run forward blindly, otherwise you won't be able to catch the ball!!"

"Alan, be careful not to dribble too much, as your passing route may be blocked!!"

……

In the new tactical training, Mr. Mourinho personally supervised, so the Chelsea club's first-team training ground was constantly filled with such shouting and reprimanding voices, which made the players on the Chelsea field full of helplessness——
It was the first time they discovered that the training supervised by the head coach himself was the scariest.

Because Mr. Mourinho wanted to try out the results of the new tactics in the game on the 17th, so in the next two days, Chelsea players have been adapting to this offensive method. However, this tactic is simple to say, But the difficulty lies in the movement of the players around Wang Li.

There is no doubt about Wang Li's speed. Even if he wants to keep up with his dribbling speed, he has to keep running. This is a pain for Frank Lampard, Alkin Robben, Damien Duff, Joe Cole and others are obviously the most suitable tactical candidates in the Chelsea team, so they are exhausted every time they train.

Wang Li was also a little embarrassed about this. As the main figure in tactics, his job was the easiest.

In this case, after the training in the afternoon of the next day, Wang Li invited everyone in the team to have a big meal for the first time, which relieved the anger of his teammates.

.........

.........

On the afternoon of November 11th, the Chelsea team took Mr. Abramovich’s private Boeing 16 to fly to Moscow, the capital of Russia. Tomorrow they will challenge CSKA Moscow away at the Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow. This is the fourth round of the Champions League Group H group match .

It is worth mentioning that UEFA got involved in an investigation yesterday, and it was reported that Mr. Abramovich probably controlled CSKA.

In March of this year, Russia's Siberia Petroleum Company, whose owner Abramovich is the largest shareholder of Chelsea, signed a three-year sponsorship contract worth £3 million (US$3000 million) with CSKA. On the front of the jersey is the Sibneft logo.

It is also reported that when CSKA eliminated the Glasgow Rangers in the third qualifying round, Abramovich, who was on the scene, even ran into the team locker room to celebrate with the players and coaches.

Therefore, the investigation launched by UEFA is to find evidence that Mr. Abramovich holds the CSKA club. If there is evidence that Mr. Abramovich really holds the CSKA club, then one of the two teams must automatically withdraw from the championship. cup game.

But at least, UEFA has not yet been able to find relevant evidence, which means that the game is still going on normally.

Now, many foreign media are sourly saying that CSKA Moscow is Chelsea's "little brother". Regardless of home and away games, the "little brother" will never win the boss.For these foreign media, they don't care about Chelsea's strength this season, as long as there are doubts, they will sarcasm without hesitation.

However, these obviously cannot affect the normal game of Chelsea, and in terms of media, at least the English media support Chelsea.

.........

After arriving in Moscow, the head coach, Mr. Mourinho, immediately ordered the players to get dressed and go back to the hotel. After putting away their luggage, they all went directly to the stadium for adaptive training.

The weather in Moscow is very different from that in London. The surface has been covered by heavy snow for nearly December. If targeted measures are not taken, the players are prone to catch a cold under the sudden change of the environment. This is why Mu Mr. Rigno is most worried.

After doing all this, Mourinho accepted interviews with team reporters and foreign reporters.

In the words of the interview, Mourinho said that when talking about tomorrow's game, Duff may move closer to the middle. On the one hand, he may reconsider the possibility of Joe Cole's cooperation with the former. The 433 formation's total attack and total defense is more reasonable and necessary preparations.

Of course, these words are completely smoke bombs released by Mr. Mourinho. The more important reason why Duff wants to move closer to the center is that Mourinho wants to use this game to practice new tactics. In Group H, Chelsea has accumulated 9 points, which is almost guaranteed to qualify. Moreover, even if it is an away game, he does not think CSKA Moscow can bring Chelsea anything. trouble.

In fact, in the second day's game, although CSKA Moscow's performance was very stable at the Lokomotiv Stadium, their offense and defense were very good, but even though Chelsea did not perform very well as a whole, When the game progressed to the 28th minute of the first half, Edur Gudjensen, who started the game, still took advantage of Wang Li's through pass to open the scoring for Chelsea.

This attack really made the CSKA Moscow players feel the gap between the two teams.

Before the game, many players were a little aggrieved by the foreign media reports. In fact, they believed that there was no inside story between CSKA Moscow and Chelsea. At least these players did not receive any strange requests.

However, even if they want to win this game, the team is still behind.

After that, in the 43rd minute of the first half, a CSKA Moscow defender charged and fouled at the front of the penalty area, and Chelsea won a free kick in an excellent position.

This time the main free kicker is still Wang Li. In recent games, he has undoubtedly replaced Lampard and became Chelsea's first free kicker.

And Wang Li's efficiency is indeed very high. Until now, his free kick has only been missed once in the game against Everton-of course, he has not actually been able to kick it a few times.

The position of the ball was quite good, and Wang Li did not disappoint the expectations of the team. Under the expectations of his teammates and the despair of the opposing players, he played a wonderful arc and directly hoisted the football into the dead corner of the goal.

"Goooooooooooooooooal!!!" shouted Long Tuojia, a commentator of British BBC TV.

"Alan's fantastic curve, after David Beckham, England has another excellent free kicker, this ball is really beautiful, now many England fans think that Wang Li's free kick is bigger Wei's is more accurate, if there is a chance, I really want to see who is stronger between the two of them."

After the first half, in the visiting team's locker room, Mr. Mourinho began to arrange the tactics for the second half. Obviously, with two goals in hand, he planned to let the team practice new tactics.

In this game, CSKA Moscow sent a full-back to mark Wang Li, but in the first half, the role of this player was not reflected at all, so the head coach Gazaev directly replaced him this time. A defensive player, and let another defensive player pay attention to defending. In his opinion, this can at least restrain the performance of this black-haired kid and prevent the game from losing too badly.

But obviously, his idea was directly destroyed by Mourinho's new tactics.

Since the start of the second half, Chelsea started to attack with new tactics. At the beginning, the players were a little uncomfortable. This caused frequent mistakes in the frontcourt, making Chelsea's offense seem to be chaotic. Said: "These friends in London seem to be out of shape. Since the beginning of the second half, they have made frequent mistakes, even the black-haired kid. It's really strange. Maybe it's not acclimatized? However, our chance has come. Look, again. This is the Red Army's chance!"

Unfortunately, Chelsea's defense is very solid. Even if CSKA Moscow finds a chance, it will be difficult to break through Chelsea's triangle defense.

After 10 minutes of adaptation, the offensive players slowly regained their training status, and the regional offensive tactics gradually showed their power.At this time, the two defensive players who specialize in marking Wang Li found that their defensive effect was getting worse and worse, because the black-haired boy could not only choose to break through with the ball, but also choose to cooperate with his teammates easily, and instead directly Leave them behind.

At the beginning, they thought it was just a defensive mistake, but gradually, they found that the defensive effect of the two was getting smaller and smaller, and sometimes they couldn't even hinder the black-haired kid's attack at all, which made Moscow CSKA seems to be in 9VS11, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

Finally, in the 75th minute of the game, taking advantage of a good opportunity to pass the ball, Alkin Robben stabbed the ball to Wang Li at the front of the penalty area. Scored into the opponent's goal and rewritten the score to 0:3.

Only 3 minutes later, CSKA Moscow's offense was intercepted. After receiving the ball, Wang Li made three short-distance passes with Frank Lampard in a row. The shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Joe Cole made a supplementary shot and the score became 0:4.

Seeing this situation, Mr. Jose Mourinho on the coaching bench of Chelsea nodded in satisfaction, and then walked to the sidelines and raised his hands to signal a change in tactics. The reporters present were all confused by Mourinho's gesture , It is indeed a bit bizarre to suddenly change tactics when you have an advantage.

However, how could they know that Mourinho wanted to officially use this tactic for the first time in the game against Arsenal. If the opponent knew about it so early and found a way to crack it, then Chelsea's training would not be in vain. Done.
