Mourinho's analysis is very correct, although the first leg of the Forest team beat Chelsea 2-1 and got two away goals, Donn, who returned to the city stadium, did not say that he would use the attack on his home ground to suppress Chelsea, but used the defensive counter-attacking tactics that the Forest team is best at.

It makes sense for Don to do that. He doesn't need to press out frantically to attack the enemy, which will cause a void in the back defense and give the opponent a chance to score. Defensive counterattack is the best way, swap the roles of yourself and the opponent, seize the psychology of the backward side to score as soon as possible, patiently deal with them, and then see the right time to make a fatal counterattack, further widening the score gap, completely destroying the opponent's confidence and fighting spirit.

If you want to win, this is the safest way to do it.

At the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest, who were playing at home, put on a counter-attacking posture - they kicked off, but only three people committed to the first attack, and finally Ruud van Nistelrooy rushed to the outside of the box under Terry's close pressing, and the threat of the king of the small box out of the box was greatly reduced, and the ball was also shot into an anti-aircraft gun.

After hastily ending this attack, the Forest's offensive quickly receded like a tide rushing ashore.

They set up a tight defensive formation in their second half and waited for Chelsea to attack.

Don sat in the coach's seat and crossed Erlang's legs. Chelsea will be very eager to press and will just have to wait for them to surrender possession and then launch a counter-attack.

Chelsea seem to be playing exactly the way he envisioned it.

More than half of the Blues were involved in the attack, but so many people were helpless in the face of Nottingham Forest's "iron bucket formation", and after three passes and two downs, the ball was lost.

Zimbonda intercepted Arjen Robben's ball and passed it to Van der Vaart.

This is a great opportunity for the Forest team to launch a counterattack!

The stands burst into the stands with Forest's excited shouts of fans.

They had seen this scene countless times, and the Forest's quick counterattack was not something that few teams could resist!

The football was still in the second half, and Van der Vaart was in no hurry to pass it right away. He decided to observe the situation first......

Just as he looked up to confirm his teammates' position. Suddenly, an oppressive force came at him. His instincts told him it was a Chelsea counter-attack, and in a hurry he tried to pass the ball out but kicked it empty!

"Makelele broke the ball! Van der Vaart was too careless, did he think it was safe for his own half? ”

Van der Vaart suddenly conceded a goal, which immediately put Forest in an extremely passive situation, because Franck Franchi, Lennon, Eastwood and Ruud van Nistelrooy all completed the switch from defense to attack in an instant, and at this moment they were sprinting towards the opposition goal......

The Forest team is under-defended!

Makelele, who had broken the ball, didn't let the ball stay at his feet for a second longer, and passed it to Robben, who had already plugged in.

In the face of Zim Bonda, who responded in a hurry, Robben used speed to eat. Overtaking on the outside, the French were born and passed.

What was just a good situation for the Forest team to prepare for a counter-attack turned into a Chelsea counter-attack on the spot in a matter of seconds. Neither the Forest team expected this, the defence was too hasty and too loosely organised.

"Go fill in the seats!" Piquet shouted to Kompany that the closest to Robben at the moment was the Belgian kid.

Kompany desperately ran to make up for it, and by this time Robben was already on the verge of entering the box. He decided to take the risk of tackling the ball and couldn't get him into the box even if he fouled. Once inside, the consequences are unimaginable.

Kompany, running at high speed, flew towards Robben.

Seeing this scene on the sidelines, Don hugged his head, which was really the most reckless choice......

There was no doubt that Robben easily got past Kompany, who had put in the tackle, and then burst into the box.

The cheers of the Chelsea fans overpowered the Nottingham Forest fans in that moment, and they saw the hope of scoring.

Robben lifts his foot and crosses. As soon as the football came out, it was blocked by one leg.

"George. Wood! "It was Wood who came back to block Robben's cross and defuse a crisis. Running from a midfield position into the box, he made a cameo at centre-back.

Jose Mourinho had already risen from his seat and he wanted to celebrate the goal. In the end, only one failed attack was seen. He waved his hand in annoyance and sat back down.

Robben had his head in his hands, and he could see it clearly before he broke through Kompany, when there weren't too many defenders in front of Forest, and Drogba could stab the ball as long as he passed it to goal. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the omnipresent Wood appeared in the passing route.

This man isn't much slower than himself......

'Chelsea won a corner in the opening two minutes and they seem to be looking to play back here? If that's the case. I watched this game. ”

Van der Vaart was sorry for conceding the ball so easily, but no one complained about him. Who would have thought that Makelele would be able to rush into the 30-metre area to steal the ball? Everyone completely ignored this little black man.

Kompany, who had just been easily cleared by Robben, was looking to make up for the Chelsea corner, leaping up from the crowd and slotting the ball high into the air.

The Nottingham Forest players did not receive the ball, but Essien, who was ambushed outside the box, swept directly into the air in the face of the incoming ball, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to score.

The ball bounced off Piqué and bounced again, this time with Wood receiving the ball. He was going to turn around and pass to Ribery on the wing. As soon as he turned around, he was pushed down from behind.

"This time it was a foul by Claude Makelele. He stopped a quick counter-attack from the Forest! ”

The referee's whistle blew and it was a Chelsea foul. But as the commentator said, they stopped the Forest's quick comeback with a trivial foul, and who lost more? Go without saying.

Wood, who was knocked to the ground, slapped the ground in annoyance, he was not prepared for this collision at all, and more importantly, he would be knocked out of center and fall to the ground. Let one of the team's fast breaks be forced to end on his own.

At this time, a black hand appeared in front of his eyes.

When I looked up, I realized that it was Makelle, the perpetrator.

Makelle smiled and held out his hand to him, a smile that made him angry anyway. Wood didn't lash out at Makelele's foul, but he didn't take his opponent's kindness either, ignoring the outstretched hand and getting up from the ground himself.

This attitude towards Wood. Makelle wasn't annoyed either, he just smiled and ran away.

Forest won a free-kick at the back and Wood was ready to kick it off, standing in front of the ball and looking up at what was happening in front of him – all but the forwards were all back in defence. In the face of such a situation, I want to play a quick attack. It definitely won't work.

Wood had no choice but to kick the ball to Zim Bonda on the flank, and Forest made a back-to-back kick looking for a way forward. Unfortunately, the opponent has already set up the defensive formation, and it is not easy to find it again.

Van der Vaart waited for the ball to come in front of him, only to find that the football had not come for a long time. He had no choice but to run back to answer it.

Forest's attack found the right man, with Wood passing the ball to Van der Vaart and staying behind to defend solidly.

Van der Vaart received the ball and organised an attack, but the two wings needed to take care of the space behind them. The ground was not pressed thoroughly enough, and the attack was aborted.

As the game wore on, Donn, who was sitting in the dugout, noticed that it was becoming very difficult for his team to move quickly from defense to offense.

The reason for this was Chelsea's reckless pressing and frenzied fouls up front.

The mentally ill-prepared Forest team was very uncomfortable with Chelsea's mad dog-like pressing and making frequent mistakes, let alone organizing any quick counter-attacks.

It was a completely different performance from Chelsea's performance in the first leg, and Donne did not expect Mourinho to play before the game. He turned his head to look at the away team's dugout next door.

Jose Mourinho sat in the coach's seat and also crossed his legs.

Don didn't immediately get up and walk to the sideline yelling, he didn't know what kind of adjustments to make right now. He just stared at the pitch and thought about what to do.

Anxious about the situation, Chrislak got up from his seat, walked out and paced two steps back again. In this way, he used his own practical actions to interpret what it means to be "restless".

Don waved his hand: "David, can you sit down?" My eyes are glazed with you like this. ”

"Uh, sorry...... Chrislak said back, "Tony, we're not in a good situation right now. ”

"Of course I do. ”

"I think we should have made adjustments sooner rather than earlier. ”

"Of course I know that. ”

"Then you ......"

"The problem is that I don't know what to make yet...... Donn muttered as he looked at the field.

When Chrislak heard him say this, he was silent. Concentrate on watching the game.

Jose Mourinho's tactics have worked. Through the frantic pressing in the frontcourt, not only did the Forest team's counterattack not play. He also gave himself some chances to launch counter-attacks on the spot, threatening Van der Sar's goal on several occasions.

With a little more effort, you will be able to blast open the gates of Nottingham Woodland!

Mourinho turned his head to Don because of this unfavorable situation, and he found that Don did not stand up and go to the sidelines to direct the game because of this unfavorable situation, he was still sitting in a chair, and the only change was to put Erlang's leg down.

With such an obvious tactic, he didn't believe that Don didn't see it. Now it's up to the other party to make a move.

"A, and Chelsea consumption, desperately defending, to ensure that we do not concede a goal. This kind of full-court pressing is very physically demanding, and when they run out of energy, the winner is naturally us. b, change our attacking tactics, retake the midfield, and use our attacks to suppress them. In the dugout, Donn raised two fingers at the two assistant coaches. "Which do you choose?"

Chris Rac thought about it for a moment before saying, "Sounds ...... I think A is a little more sure. Chelsea's players will definitely enter a physical vacuum in the second half of the second half, when they will be a mess both offensively and defensively, and then we will press up and attack, and it will only take one goal to kill them! ”

After listening to his words, Tang En turned his head and asked Tang, "Which one do you choose?" ”

“b。 Don's answer was concise and to the point.

"Why?"

"We can't guarantee to play like A. You will definitely be able to hold it. Especially in the current situation...... Chelsea seem to be on the verge of scoring at any moment. bAlthough the result is uncertain, it can effectively reduce the pressure on the defense. Tang analyzed.

Don nodded as he listened, and he was more inclined to choose B.

"It's definitely going to have to be adjusted, but it's going to take some time to think about it......"

'The biggest thing we're missing now is time because Chelsea could score at any time. Tang reminded expressionlessly.

As he spoke, Chelsea finally scored. Their tireless efforts opened up the Forest's supposedly "impregnable reinforced concrete" defence.

It's a typical press up front, when Lennon gets the ball, he's still looking around. I hope someone will come up and pick me up. Unexpectedly, Chelsea pounced on two players in one go, snatched the ball in the confusion, and immediately launched a counter-attack.

Chelsea had had those chances on a couple of occasions before that, but unfortunately the last pass or the last shot was always a little bit close.

This time, Drogba lived up to the expectations of Jose Mourinho, his team-mates and all the Chelsea fans, and he got up to speed after receiving the ball. The ball flew from Van der Sar's armpit into the goal.

The City Stadium was filled with nothing but cheers from the Chelsea fans who saw the light of day for the final!

“1：0！ Chelsea opened the scoring on the road as Didier Drogba levelled the aggregate score at 2-2! But that's not enough! If Mourinho wants to go to Athens, he has to let the team score another goal and not let Nottingham Forest score! ”

Watch the Chelsea players celebrate wildly on the pitch. Tang En wasn't too angry, just glanced at Tang: "Crow's mouth." ”

Then he got up from the dugout, walked to the sidelines, and shouted the names of several people while the opponent celebrated the goal: "Wood! Van der Vaart! Come here! ”

Both players heard the manager's shouts. Running from the far end.

"We changed our strategy. Don pulled the two men to his side and instructed. 'Chelsea don't want us to get behind them quickly through midfield, so we don't get through midfield quickly. The middle of this game is the key, give me a chance to get it back. He clenched his fists.

Van der Vaart asked, "How to rob, chief?" ”

"You're in charge of all the offensive organization of the Forest team. Donn pointed at Van der Vaart and said, "Keep the ball in check, don't rush the ball out, our receiver will make one mistake or another when the opponent is pressing." ”

"But. Boss, so that we are more likely to be cut off. Didn't you see the goal you just conceded? Van der Vaart disagreed.

"Of course I did, so I called two people, not you. Donn turned to Wood and said, "George, your only job in this game is to defend, I don't need you to be involved in the offense, you know?" ”

Wood nodded.

'Your job is to protect Van der Vaart and the ball at his feet and keep him from being caught in the way. If you lose the ball, grab it for me. Do everything possible to create opportunities for Van der Vaart to take the ball for a long time and find a gap. Let him organize the attack undisturbed. ”

"No problem. ”

'The middle of the midfield is key, you are alive. Our wings are just flying. Don patted them on the shoulder, "Don't take the ball to heart, since they scored our goal, the best thing to do is to send it back - we will score one of them too!" Go ahead, their festivities are coming to an end. ”

The pair ran back to the pitch and the rest of the Forest squad had set up their footballs at the midpoint and were waiting for the Chelsea players to return.

On the face of it, the conceded goal didn't affect them too much. Maybe it's because even if they fall behind 0:1, this score will not lead to their elimination. If you don't have that pressure in your heart, it's naturally much easier.

Another important reason was that it was only the seventeenth minute of the game and the Forest men believed they would have plenty of chances to score in the remaining seventy minutes, as this was their home turf.
