Chapter 594: Simple and rough Premier League play

As the players from both sides came out of the tunnel, the stands erupted in loud cheers.

It is given to the players who play at home and to the players of the away team, because only when the players of both sides work together can they give a wonderful game to the fans present.

At the same time, Mario Coke, the on-site DJ at the Mestalla Stadium, began to announce the starting line-ups for both sides of the game, and the first broadcast was the home team's players, who were greeted by an overwhelming number of cheers, without exception!

This was followed by the away players.

With the exception of the shouts that came out when Iello's name was announced, the rest of the Chelsea players were treated with boos, suffocating boos.

Ballack couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with the index finger of his right hand, and then turned his head to joke with Iro: "They are all heroes of Valencia last season, why is the gap so big?" ”

Iroh shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, but his expression was rather proud.

"Audience friends, stretch out your ears and listen, this ...... It's all the home fans who gave the voice of Iello to the away team Chelsea, which is really surprising, and after a year of leaving, the home team Valencia fans still haven't forgotten him, I have to say...... In this moment, he showed his worth! ”

The game is about to start, and the commentator Huang Jianxiang began to explain the presentation.

……

With the referee's whistle, Iroh moved the ball to Didier Drogba next to him, who in turn passed the ball to Ballack behind him.

An overwhelming wave of boos followed.

"CCTV, now broadcasting for you is the first leg of the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, with the defending champion Valencia hosting Chelsea, currently wearing blue jerseys and blue pants are the away team Chelsea, they attack from the left side of the camera, and the home team Valencia in the white jersey and orange pants are attacking from the right side of the camera......"

Commentator Huang Jianxiang began the unified opening remarks of the live broadcast of the football match on CCTV 5.

"It's ...... with the ball now" Canizares looked at Iroh in the camera, and his breathing subconsciously became short, even if this was not the first time he had been a commentator for the game.

After a few simple passes, the ball was quickly passed to the feet of Aelo on the left, and he immediately caught the attention of the nearby Valencia players.

Shhh

At the same time, the fans in the stands let out a suffocating boo!

Although Iroh is Valencia's hero in the past, in the final analysis, the current Iroh is still Valencia's enemy, a roadblock on Valencia's way to defending the Champions League, and must be eliminated, no matter how much they spoil Arlo before the game, but after the game starts, what should be the case.

So the fans of Valencia are sending boos to their enemies...... Chelsea!

I don't know if it was the sudden burst of boos from the Valencia fans in the stands that affected Iro, who was holding the ball, who was under the mark of Miguel, and Baraja, who had been made up, poked the ball out of the touchline.

The boos, which had not yet stopped, were a little louder than before as the ball at Elo's feet was stabbed away by Baraha.

Looking at the football rolling out of the sideline, Iroh shook his head helplessly, still overestimating his place in the hearts of Valencia fans......

Being able to poke the ball away from Elo's feet was quite an inconsistency of it, but Barraha was not happy about it, but took two steps forward and patted Elo on the waist, meaning that he wanted to concentrate, this is the game!

How could Iroh not know what Baraha meant? So he also affectionately patted Baraha on the back as a sign of gratitude.

※※※

Not many people were surprised that Iroh had a mistake on his first touch, and who player on the pitch wasn't experienced? For Iroh's mood, he also guessed a ** indefatigable ten, especially the head coach standing in the two command areas.

"From this scene, we can keenly see that Iello still has a nostalgia for this team, otherwise there would not have been a rare mistake due to the boos from the Mestalla...... Sky TV commentator Andy Gray.

"Yes, but I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon, because as a world-class player, this kind of on-the-spot adjustment is still there, otherwise it wouldn't be worth £60 million!"

The guest commentator continued.

The rest of the game seemed to confirm their point of view, and Iroh was very good at self-regulation, and after the first mistake, he was very calm and calm when handling the ball, quite a master.

Therefore, Miguel on the right side and Baraha, who is already 33 years old, feel a lot of pressure, even if they use fouls to deal with Elo, it is very difficult.

They all know that after the training of the Premier League, Iroh's confrontation ability has risen to a higher level, his body has become stronger, and his impact resistance has also been enhanced.

Even if Valencia is playing at home, the fans in the stands are terrified to watch, they can say that they know the best about Elo, and most of the fans on this field have grown up watching Elo play.

The Valencia players who are attacking with all their strength always have a 'demon' in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will invest too many troops in the attack, so that the emptiness behind them will be found by Aelo's personal ability, so as to kill them with one blow.

The game went by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was twenty minutes into the first half.

Of course, the game was able to pass 20 minutes in peace, except that Valencia did not dare to commit too many troops in consideration of Chelsea's quick counter-attack, and it was also inseparable from Chelsea's strategy in this game.

Mourinho's pre-match focus on the attack, except for particularly good opportunities, the number of people involved in the counter-attack should not exceed four, which means that he can only rely on three strikers and a central midfielder when counterattacking, of which Lampard and Ballack go up, and the remaining one must always assist the defender Essien to arrange the first line of defense in front of the defender.

However, in the first 20 minutes, both sides each contributed two good shots on goal.

※※※

Mourinho looked at the situation on the pitch and realised he needed to change his strategy as he found that halfway through the first half, the home side were afraid to attack at full strength, which meant that Chelsea had plenty of space to set up a formation and burn the flame into Valencia's half.

Thinking of this, Mourinho turned his head and beckoned his assistant Boas to step forward, and then the two began to analyze the possibility of implementing the tactical change!

After all, the temptation to win away from home is also huge!

Two minutes later, Mourinho and Villas-Boas had already agreed on a countermeasure to increase their focus on attack, with assists allowed on both flanks, but ...... Only one wing assist is allowed at a time, after all, Valencia's two wings are also very fast.

David Silva and Vicente's speed with the ball should not be underestimated, except for Ashley Cole on the left who can keep up with the two, Belletti on the right side chooses to defend more with experience, after all, he is getting older and his body is also declining.

Receiving Mourinho's code to change tactics, although the players were a little confused, they still carried out it in an orderly manner.

Because the manager sees the situation off the pitch is certainly much more open than the players on the pitch, and coupled with Mourinho's coaching ability, no one dares to doubt that his strategy is wrong.

With Chelsea's formation, coupled with the hardness and control of the midfield, Chelsea's possession on the road began to slowly recover.

With 30 minutes played, the Mestalla Stadium director cut back to Jose Mourinho, the former Chelsea manager in the visitors' command area, five minutes earlier, with a noticeable movement of his hands.

This scene of the live broadcast immediately aroused speculation among the commentators from various countries in the studio.

'If I'm not mistaken, Chelsea have seen that Valencia, who are playing at home, are timid, so they have consciously set up their formation and increased their attacking intensity, which has led to an increase in their possession ......

"Chelsea are a bit of an anti-guest stance, as the owner of the Mestalla stadium, Valencia should not play so passively, should strengthen the attack on both flanks, after all, David Silva and Vicente are very strong in individual breaks, plus their speed is also very good......

'Valencia have to be brave enough to fight Chelsea in midfield at this time, because they only have three men in the middle, and as long as they break through this layer of defence, then they can face John Terry and Carvalho directly, and then the attack can be more direct!'

……

It was clear that the discussions in the studio could not reach the ears of the Valencia players on the pitch, so the home team players on the pitch did not make any changes.

Two minutes later, in the 33rd minute of the game, Chelsea were led by a wave of attacks by Frank Lampard.

Since Valencia's strategy to defend Ailo in this game is to play a zone-to-man defence, as long as Ailo runs a little aggressively, he will always find the right opportunity to face the goal head-on, but when he has the ball, there will always be at least two defenders in the middle.

He was smarter this time around, running forward and switching positions with Drogba, standing in the centre of the field and pulling Drogba out of the box.

The change left centre-backs Albiol and Marchena a little confused.

Because Drogbal pulled out and Iroh poured into the box, the central defenders and right wing-backs both consciously moved closer to the middle, and in their minds, Iroh was the most dangerous player.

Therefore, the space on the right side is leaked.

Frank Lampard, who picked up the ball, gave Ashley Cole more time on the left by playing the ball to Drogba, who pulled it out.

Miguel and Baraja were posted at the same time to prevent Drogba from taking the ball and turning towards the goal, but Drogba's purpose was to use it as a makeshift passing point, using his strong body to lean against Baraja and then distribute the ball to Ashley Cole, who was plugged in behind.

Miguel, who wanted to flank with Baraja, saw Drogba distribute the ball to the right side of his guard, and knew it was bad, and quickly pulled it out again.

But it was enough time for Ashley Cole to calmly look up and then cross.

Simple and crude bottom cross - the Premier League style of play!
