Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 386 Arrangement
After Joe Cole scored the second goal, the Chelsea players consciously strengthened their offensive and wanted to take the opportunity to score another goal, but Mourinho asked the team to continue to maintain a defensive formation and not give the opponent any chance.

Although the temptation to score a goal is very strong, but now the team has scored two away goals, Mourinho also knows the truth of accepting as soon as it is good, it is still possible to score in the second half, but now Chelsea has gained the advantage , There is no need to fight for more advantages. If Bayern is in a hurry, maybe they will explode with a strong offensive ability and counterattack. Mourinho still wants to ensure 'stability', and he cares more about this.

Therefore, during this period of time, we should stabilize our defense, maintain our advantage, and continue to look for scoring opportunities in the second half.

After Bayern conceded the goal, they were really red-eyed. This is the Olympic Park Stadium, but the game seemed to be completely reversed. Under the eyes of so many fans, Chelsea led by one in the first half, and the second goal It was an oolong, which made them feel very ashamed.

Although there was not much time left in the first half, they still wanted to return a ball and restore balance to the team.

But Wang Li still insisted on attacking from the right. He found that Hargreaves' defensive ability on this road was really poor, and Bayern's defense on the side didn't seem to be very good. At least until now, he After breaking through so many times in a row, there was no situation where someone was defending.

Before Bayern realized this, of course they had to make better use of this opportunity.

It is a pity that until the end of the first half, Wang Li could not find any good opportunities, but although Chelsea failed to score, Bayern did not score either. Their offensive in recklessness did not have much tricks at all. It's easy to defend.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score was still 1:2, and Chelsea, who played away, led by one goal.

…………

The Chelsea players who returned to the locker room from the stadium were in a relaxed and happy mood. They led Bayern in the away game without any pressure at all.

Although according to this situation, Bayern must launch a fierce attack in the second half to recover the score, but at least they are leading now, and even if Bayern scores a goal and the score becomes 2:2, they still have a psychological advantage: here It's an away game, the team scored two away goals, and the score was a tie, so they can win more easily when they return to Stamford Bridge.

These let the Chelsea players relax. The teammates discussed the first half of the game with each other. Hargreaves, who was teased by Wang Li several times, became the protagonist of the topic. Several England players continued to sarcasm and gloat.

The players on the football field may seem gentle, but they are actually bad boys who are afraid of chaos.

On the contrary, in the locker room of Bayern Munich's home team, the atmosphere was much lower.

It should be said to be a combination of silence and rage...

That's mostly because manager Felix Magath is throwing a fit:
"Look at what you have done? Looking at the current score, others thought it was at Stamford Bridge! If it ends with this score, I think we will surrender directly in the end. We don't have to lose."

"Owen? Look at you, you are such a waste! Stupid!"

As soon as Mattga turned around, he saw Hargreaves with his head down. Without thinking about it, he cursed: "How do you defend? Let him break through so easily? How many times? Do you need it?" Let me count for you, whether you are a professional player or not, I really don’t know how you got into Bayern!"

Matega scolded very well, but he didn't know it. He seemed to be silent and lowered his head to repent at Hargreaves, but in fact he scolded him half to death in his heart, "Try yourself if you have the ability, that black man." Fat Boy is a monster at all! '

Of course, he only dared to think about this in his heart, but now he wanted the head coach to replace him. He didn't want to be abused on the court again.

But Magath didn't know what the players were thinking. He just continued to scold players one by one angrily: Ze Robert, Lizarazu, R. Kovac, Guerrero, Frings, and the Lucio, who scored an own goal, was pointed out one by one. Magath didn't care about his position in the hearts of the players. In his opinion, now that he has taken root in Bayern, even if the players are dissatisfied with him, he It is also impossible to be fired, so he doesn't have to think about what the players think at all, leading the team to achieve good results is everything.

This season, Magath's performance is not bad. Bayern won the league championship without any pressure at all, and they also won the cup. Now there is only one UEFA Champions League trophy left. They also reached the semi-finals this season.

This achievement is brilliant.

After scolding many players, Magath began to adjust his tactics and give certain suggestions to the players.

Lucio and R. Kovac switched positions and were mainly responsible for marking the right. Of course, this was to prevent Wang Li from attacking. In the final stage of the first half, Wang Li frequently launched attacks on the right. In the eyes of the players, let alone the coach Magath.

The midfielder Frings was also arranged by him to mark Wang Li. In the first half, Frings did not perform well, and it is not bad to use him for defense.

"When defending, you must pay more attention to supplementary defense, and at the same time, pay attention not to stand too far behind the back line. The opponent has many fast players. If you are reversed offside, it is almost equal to giving the opponent a goal." Magath added. .

After watching the first half of the game, the players who knew Wang Li's personal ability nodded tacitly.

Magath felt that Bayern played well in the first half of the offense, and Chelsea's defense was strong. He also admitted that the team's ability to score first means that at least the offensive players performed well, especially Ballack. and Hargreaves.It's just that at the end of the game, the players were stunned by several sharp counterattacks by Chelsea, which gave Chelsea the opportunity to move two goals in a row.

In the final analysis, defense must be done well, and now the problem seems to have returned to the topic of the media before the game-how to effectively restrain the performance of the opponent's No. 21 black-haired boy Alan Wang.

Although he reprimanded the players just now, Magath is not a fool. Of course he knows that the black-haired boy on the other side is not easy to defend. Some of the reasons for Hargreaves' poor performance are his defensive ability is not good, but What's more important is that the black-haired boy's breakthrough is really hard to defend, at least in the first half, even Lucio couldn't stop his ball.

"Frings, in the second half, you have to follow Owen at any time and be ready to respond! Lucio, you should pay more attention to the right, oh no, pay more attention to the opponent's No. 21, and you must not let him dribble the ball too casually. Magath gritted his teeth and ordered.

Frings and Lucio nodded.

After talking about the defense, Magath began to talk about the team's offense again. He felt that the reasons for the unfavorable offense in the second half of the first half and the disconnection of the players' cooperation, that is to say, the movement between them some problems.

This point is about the teenager Guerrero, and Ballack, who is running all over the field, also has this problem. Once he enters the game state, he seldom thinks about tactical issues. people's movement.

But Magath would not talk about Ballack, so Guerrero became a target, and he spit at the latter.

"Okay, that's all. Remember, this is the Olympic Stadium, our territory! Don't let those Londoners be arrogant, especially the number 21, otherwise the fans will not be satisfied."

In the end, Magath said with a boost of morale.

.........

In the Chelsea dressing room, Mourinho paid tribute to his team's first-half performance.

In the away game, facing the fierce Bayern, the team took the lead instead. The Portuguese will not be stingy with some praises, and they should say what should not be said.

For example, Ricardo Carvalho.

In the league games against AC Milan, Manchester United and several teams, Mourinho began to be dissatisfied with the performance of his disciple in Porto, perhaps due to the impact of injuries. Recently, Carvalho's performance and the beginning of the season When there is a big difference.

Carvalho should also bear considerable responsibility for Bayern's goal. He didn't defend well.

In the offense, Carvalho, who is good at heading the ball, has rarely appeared in the frontcourt recently, which shows that he is not too active. Mourinho didn't care about this, but when he saw Carvalho's poor performance Sometimes, this becomes a reason to linger in the mind.

As a result, Carvalho was severely reprimanded, which made him lose face in front of his teammates.

Unfortunately, Mourinho is an 'authoritarian'. His authority in the locker room is unquestionable. In the second half, Mourinho let Carvalho go off. He replaced him with Scott Parker. lower back.

Replacing a midfielder with a defender does not mean that Chelsea's formation has changed to strengthen the attack, and it is only a small-scale transfer.Scott Parker is good at defense, and he also performs well in offense. When defending, he can act as a central defender, and in offense, he can pass the ball and support his teammates. As for 442 or 351, there is actually not much difference. It mainly depends on the player. On-the-spot play and running positions, the general tactics have not changed.

Wang Li watched Mourinho arranging tasks for each teammate little by little. He felt that there was nothing to do, but he wanted to start the game quickly.

The Portuguese seldom assign him any tasks. His task is to score goals, which is very simple.

As for what method to use to score goals, Wang Li knows that he can only rely on himself. His abilities are too comprehensive, and the head coach can only limit his ability to play.

How to play in the second half, where to attack, how to break through Bayern's defense, etc. All issues need to be considered by yourself. As the core of the team's offense, he must do these in order to lead the team to victory.

The relationship between style of play and strength is very close. The main reason why Mourinho does not give him offensive guidance is that Bayern must make defensive arrangements against him. If all offenses are limited to one area, then the opponent will be easy to defend. Yes, this way the threat is much smaller.

He needs to be free.

As for how to play, everything depends on the form of the game and the opponent's style of play.

Of course, there is also his own on-the-spot response.
