Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 480 Trouble (seeking a monthly ticket)

The opening game was brilliant, with Real Madrid and Chelsea each attacking and almost breaking the other's goal, but the important thing is that neither team scored, they are still on the same starting line.

However, as the game progressed, Chelsea became passive.

This is not the relationship between strength and performance, maybe it has a lot to do with tactics.

Mourinho has always attached great importance to defense, and it is impossible for him to adopt offensive tactics in the game against Real Madrid and the Bernabeu.The current Chelsea is not the Chelsea that had Wang Li last season. Just like the media commented, Chelsea's offensive ability has dropped by more than one level.

However, their opponent, Real Madrid, has Wang Li. The offensive capabilities of the two teams have changed a lot, so Mourinho insisted on using defensive tactics.

I have to say that Chelsea's defensive lineup is really strong, not including the back four. The three midfielders Lampard, Essien and Makelele are all very good at defending. The team gave up hope of scoring.

As the game time passed, the effect of this formation did not show, but the defensive tactics have been floating on the water.

Chelsea's attack at the beginning was probably just to scare Real Madrid. Afterwards, they turned into a full attack and full defense. The front line pulled back, and the game became dominated by Real Madrid's offense, while Chelsea began to play defensive counterattacks. .

For this kind of game situation, whether it is the reporter, the media, the commentators of various TV stations, or the head coaches of the two teams who are playing games on the court, they are all mentally prepared.The styles of the two teams are there. If you want to win at the Bernabéu, then Chelsea must defend, while Real Madrid must attack.

Of course, this kind of defense does not mean that it is only defensive. Chelsea's counterattack is also very efficient, especially the wingers Robben and Duff.

On the left, Robben threatened Real Madrid's half-time again and again by virtue of his speed, while Duff played the role of Lampard by virtue of his cooperation with his teammates. That is to say, in the right counterattack, what he did was for the team The role of the offensive commander.

The performance of these two players made Chelsea's counterattack full of threats, and Drogba in the middle also continued to get opportunities.

Chelsea once again demonstrated the offensive routine of flying on both wings. The English-style offense is simple and direct, but full of efficiency.

But in general, Real Madrid's offense on the court is still the theme.

In this game, Carlo still used the traditional 442 formation. The four players in the backcourt were Robert Carlos, captain Pavon, young players Ramos and Cicinho, David Beckham, Zidane The two superstars in the field are still sitting firmly in the midfield. Baptista and Raul also played one after another. In this game, Carlo put Raul in the middle. Although his position is in the midfield, he is also similar to a striker. , It should be said that he acts as a shadow forward, and the two forwards are the partners of Wang Li and Robinho.

After so many rounds of competition, the combination of Wang Li and Robinho has proved to be the most efficient, while Ronaldo has become more and more marginalized. The world's top star has gone downhill in his career.

However, Carlo still put Ronaldo on the bench. At critical moments, Ronaldo is likely to become a member of the firefighting team. His experience and awareness are by no means comparable to Robinho.

Another Real Madrid attack.

The captain of the team, Pavin, took the ball in the backcourt, played a few passes with his teammates, and finally handed the ball to David Beckham.

Seeing Beckham get the ball, Drogba in midfield ran up. He opened his mouth wide and showed a silly smile on his face. His expression was honest, but his feet were not honest at all. While jogging, he paid attention to Beckham's movements, as if he was ready to step forward to fight at any moment.

However, Beckham did not give Drogba a chance to grab the ball. He cooperated with Zidane and passed the ball across the halfway line to Baptista's feet.

As a traditional Brazilian player, Baptista's dribbling ability is very strong, and his shooting efficiency is also very high, but the competition for the forward position in the team is too fierce. Coach Carlo can only use him He is positioned as a midfielder.Fortunately, Baptista's personal qualities are very comprehensive, and he can also perform well in the midfield. After a few months in Real Madrid, Baptista is now about to get the main position.

This time, after receiving a pass from Beckham, Baptista first looked up at the frontcourt, and instead of stopping the ball, he pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area.There was indeed no one there, but this was a play, in order to give other players a chance. Chelsea's defensive players could tell at a glance that this was not a mistake, so the players next to them rushed to come over to make a clearance, but it was obviously too late.

Robinho had already appeared in front of the ball, he made a shooting action, and then kicked the ball to the left with one foot.

Baptista received the ball again. This time, he suddenly broke out and took it forward from the left. Terry hurriedly followed, but still let Baptista pass a position. After the opportunity, Baptista kicked the shot as soon as he lifted his foot.

It's a pity that the ball was thrown out by Thomas with a side throw, which made the entire Bernabéu stadium resound with frustration.

Real Madrid got a corner kick, but this time the corner kick still ended in failure, and the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Carvalho.

Immediately afterwards, after Chelsea's counterattack was ineffective, it was another Real Madrid attack.

The initiator of this attack was Zidane in the center. After he took the ball across the center line, he pushed the ball to the right, where Beckham was.Beckham got the ball and passed it directly to Wang Li.

At this time, Wang Li was closely watched by Makelele of Chelsea. In order to ensure that he got the ball safely, he ran a few steps towards the football before he got the pass steadily.

After getting the ball, Wang Li dunked the ball three times in a row before evading Makelele's steal, but he was still stuck by the latter.In desperation, Wang Li moved the ball forward and followed, only to get away from Makelele by two positions, but at this time, Essien blocked him again.

In the warm-up training before the start of the game, Wang Li met this black boy, he was with Lampard, but Wang Li didn't know him, and didn't know his ability, so during the run, Wang Li used the 'shadowless foot', stepping on the bicycle with both feet on the ball continuously, the football was hidden under his legs, and he couldn't even find the shadow.

Faced with this extraordinary way, Essien was dumbfounded. Even though his teammates reminded him before the game that the black-haired boy's dribbling is very good, but he has never really experienced it. It is hard to imagine that the bicycle can actually pedal like this. look.

But he was not in a hurry, because Makelele was right behind Wang Li. All he needed to do was stick to Wang Li, slow down his dribbling speed, and protect Chelsea's backcourt.

He succeeded.

After Wang Li used the shadowless kick, his speed was obviously slower, and the black boy in front of him seemed unmoved, so after a while, Makelele chased him from behind, seeing Essien and Makelele about to Give him a close.

In desperation, Wang used his right foot to pull the ball to the left, and then moved his body laterally, out of the double-teaming range, and stabbed the ball to Raul next to him.

Raúl gets the ball and passes it to a running Beckham who passes it to Robinho.

Robinho played very steadily in this game. Although he did not have any outstanding performances in the past, as a striker, at least he performed very well in terms of coordination and ball handling. He almost Became an integral part of Real Madrid's offense.

After receiving the ball, Robinho swayed past Chelsea captain John Terry and lobbed the ball to the left.

On the left side of the penalty area, there is still Baptista. In the past game, the performance of this Brazilian teenager is undoubtedly the best. After he catches the ball, he directly dunks and shakes away Paul Ferreira. Another shot.

The football was thrown out with both hands by Thomas, who reacted very quickly.

Robinho followed up with a follow-up shot, but unfortunately, under the interference of Carwailo, the ball crossed the goal from the side of the post, causing the audience to lament again.

It's a pity that the ball missed two shots.

"It's a pity that Robinho's shot went off the post. Real Madrid have been playing very well during this time. They may only be one goal away."

After several similar attacks, the Real Madrid fans found a problem, that is, it seemed difficult to find the black-haired boy in the team's offense.

In these few attacks, Real Madrid played very well, but among the offensive personnel, the black-haired boy appeared very infrequently, and even if he appeared, he was not the main character in the offense. Outside of shooting, they've only seen the dark-haired kid dribble a few times, which is really confusing.

In reality, Wang Li was in trouble.

He found that he rarely got the ball, and every time he got the ball, his position was very bad. To be precise, every time he got the ball, Chelsea's defenders were all around him, and although his dribbling could pass Drop 2,3 or [-] players, but near the penalty area, it is difficult to get rid of them, and there is no space to shoot.

This made him very depressed. It seemed that Chelsea had formulated some tactics to defend him, but it was difficult for him to understand Chelsea's defense for such a short time, but this defense had a great impact on his performance.

Seeing the ball went out of the sideline again, Wang Li touched his head helplessly, thinking about his own problems.

In fact, Mourinho did arrange a tactic to mark Wang Li. It is impossible for him not to arrange this, which is basically the same as giving up the game.

After the Champions League draw, Mourinho began to let the rear players practice the tactics of defending Wang Li.In normal times, Mourinho rarely thinks about defensive strategies for a player, but facing Real Madrid and Wang Li, he has to think about tactics.

After a long period of research, coupled with his understanding of Wang Li, Mourinho found that a single defensive tactic, or finding someone to defend Wang Li closely, is really difficult to limit his performance.At this time, he felt the depression of Wenger and Ferguson, but he had no choice but to find a good way.

So, this set of defensive tactics came out.

In response to Wang Li's defense, Mourinho finally decided to adopt a method of overlapping defensive methods——
On the one hand, block Wang Li’s route to get the ball and let him take the ball as little as possible, so that his threat must be much smaller. Whenever a Real Madrid player gets the ball, they will find a Chelsea player between themselves and Wang Li. The ball passed to Wang Li will inevitably be much less.

On the one hand, let the players defend him close to him, minimize one-foot steals, and defend close to him, so as to continuously compress his shooting and passing space, so as to limit his performance.Of the two, limiting Wang Li's shot is the most important. Mourinho knows Wang Li's accuracy very well. If you don't work hard to limit this, it will be really difficult to keep the goal.

Finally, there must be a strong defensive player to follow Wang Li and prevent him from dribbling and shooting easily. This player is Makelele.

These three aspects are used together, which minimizes the number of times Wang Li gets the ball, and when he gets the ball, it is difficult to find any opportunities. With Makelele, Essien and Ricardo Carvalho It is really not easy for Wang Li to find any opportunities.

From the beginning of the game to the present, Wang Li's performance has proved the success of Mourinho's tactics.

Seeing Wang Li's helpless expression, Mourinho, who was sitting on the bench, also showed a smug smile on his face.This is not an insult to what happened to Wang Li, but the joy of his own tactical success.

The defense against Wang Li has now become an international issue, and many coaches are studying this issue.

And now the game on the court has proved that at least for this period of time, Mourinho was successful. In the first 20 minutes of the game, Chelsea's defensive tactics were successful.In the past 10 minutes, Wang Li only had 2 shots. Except for the opening shot, the other shot was just a shot after forcing out of position. It did not pose any threat to Chelsea's goal. A good chance for Chelsea to counterattack.

As long as the game continues like this, when the game is over, the black-haired kid is likely to be restricted from doing anything.

"It's just a player after all."

Mourinho thought complacently that he was still indignant at the quarrel between the two before the game.

As a head coach, it is unbelievable to formulate defensive tactics specifically for the opponent's player, but Mourinho is still very proud of his current success. At least no team has been able to defend Wang Li.

However, defending Wang Li does not mean that Chelsea has the advantage.

Real Madrid is more than just Wang Li. The offense of other players is still going smoothly, threatening Chelsea's defense time and time again. Although Wang Li didn't perform much, he himself involved two or even three Chelsea players. Now, Real Madrid is about to score.

However, without Wang Li's performance, the Chelsea players were high-spirited because they saw the hope of victory.

As long as there is no player like Wang Li who can almost be described as against the sky, even if there is a 10-man vs. 11-man game, Chelsea feel that the team has hope of winning.
