Compared with the 32-year-old Yang Cheng, Mourinho is more like an old man who can't keep up with the times.

At least Liverpool's coach knows how to use Weibo, but Mourinho refuses to use it, because he heard that it belongs to Yang Cheng, not only does he not use it, but he also prohibits his players and staff from using Weibo, because he said that it is a plaything and demoralization.

But Yang Cheng's remarks before the game really made this one very tragic from the first minute.

Yes, tragically!

There were no surprises in the line-ups of both teams, with Liverpool at home in a 433 formation, with Reina in goal, and Rise, Hyyypia, Carragher and Finnan at the back; The midfielders are Essien, Carrick and Steven Gerrard, the two wingers are Ronaldo and Arjen Robben, and the central striker is Drogba.

This is Liverpool's strongest squad at the moment, with all but Davies missing due to injury.

Jose Mourinho also lined up in a 433 formation, with Petr Cech in goal, and Gallas, John Terry, Carvalho and Ferreira at the back; The midfielders were Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Maniche; The two wingers are Robinho and Duff, and the striker is Gudjohnsen, which is also Mourinho's strongest main squad this season.

Among them, Thiago, who was originally very favored by Mourinho, was beaten into the cold by Mourinho after the first leg against Liverpool, and has never had the opportunity to play in important games since.

"From the arrangement of the two sides, it can be seen that the two managers are sticking to their tactics since the beginning of the season, whether it is Liverpool or Chelsea, they are fighting hard to win the first game."

The on-site commentators also felt the smoke of the live game, and if football is a war, then look at how Chelsea stopped Liverpool.

When Robben retreated to get the ball on the right side, Gallas caught up from behind and directly put a tackle on the ball, knocking Robben with the ball to the ground.

"He's not a mother, filthy Gallas!"

"Red card! Damn the referee, give a red card! ”

The KOPs in the stands watched with indignation as they all felt that Chelsea's performance at Anfield had become unacceptable.

Bullying our players right under our noses, when we are dead?

The referee on duty is De Bricle from Belgium, a referee who has a calm law, and his most impressive thing is that he has not seen yellow and red cards in many of the games he has played against the law, and he is a referee who coaches softly.

Gallas's move undoubtedly carries a certain test of the waters, a bit rough, but it does not cross the line, it belongs to the boundary of judgment and non-judgment, and it should be Mourinho's standard of execution in this game.

The Belgian referee split the players of both teams with one hand, only to give Liverpool a chance to take a set-piece in front.

"He's not going to him!" Dalglish beside Yang Cheng scolded indignantly.

Yang Cheng patted Dalglish on the shoulder, signaled him not to worry, walked to the sidelines, and filed a complaint against the linesman.

'Gallas's foul was made with a clear intention to hurt people, I think you should pass that on to the referee, and I can say that this is a tactic that Chelsea have the awareness to test the referee's execution, which is their usual trick!'

Regarding the civilized accusation from Yang Cheng, the linesman did not react excessively, and nodded, "I will convey this to the referee, and I believe that he will have a clear standard for enforcing the law." ”

"It's better if he doesn't want the game to end up being a brutal confrontation, then he should be tougher and nip this bad sign in the cradle, and not let some people continue to do this, otherwise I can't guarantee that my players will not fight back."

This is a polite intimidation by Yang Cheng, and the meaning is very clear, if you allow Chelsea to do this kind of behavior again, my team will fight back.

"Are you interfering with the referee's execution?" Mourinho doesn't know when he came over. ,

Yang Cheng had already finished what he wanted to say, and there was no need to continue to entangle with Mourinho, he pointed to his head, made a helpless grimace, turned around and left.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Mourinho pointed at Yang Cheng and turned to the referee again, "Is this a personal attack?" ”

"Did I attack you?" Yang Cheng stopped and turned around, "Why did I attack you?" Tell me about it, let everyone hear it. ”

It seems that he is very open-minded.

Mourinho pointed at Yang Cheng, raised his eyebrows, and nodded incessantly, as if to say, you will see.

"Haha, the players are competing on the field, the coaches of both sides are talking on the side of the pitch, it's really a dragon fight, every link is eye-catching, is Mourinho ready to go head-to-head with Yang Cheng?" The on-site commentators shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic, and their group of media wanted to have more fierce news.

"This bastard must be deliberate, his current tactics are very detrimental to our performance!" Paul Beyer followed Yang Cheng back, and the Germans looked angry.

"I know!" Yang Cheng knows it.

What does Chelsea's defence depend on? Isn't it just a meat grinder-like midfield? If they don't, how can they fight? Could it be stupid enough to let Liverpool comb the attack well?

It's pretty much the most devastating form of defense in the world, with Juventus in Serie A and Chelsea in the Premier League, both of which believe in this kind of defense, and Capello and Jose Mourinho's teams have excelled in their respective leagues, relying on this kind of meat grinder defense that stifles all creativity.

However, if Liverpool are unable to cope with this kind of defence, it is simply impossible to make a difference in Europe.

"What now?" Benitez frowned as well.

Yang Cheng glanced at Mourinho in the distance, who was also discussing with Boas and others with a serious face, and they were also not relaxed, after all, they were facing Liverpool, the sharpest attack in the Premier League.

"If he wants to defend, let him defend, we don't care how he plays, always adhere to our tactics, attack, thorough attack, he can hold for 5 minutes, he can hold for 10 minutes, I don't believe he can hold for 90 minutes!"

Every referee, no matter how calm and soft the law is, still has a bottom line.

At least in Yang Cheng's view, instead of wasting time and energy on calculations, it is better to devote himself to the offense more desperately.

'Didn't Jose Mourinho say that their Chelsea defence is monolithic? Then we have to find a way to carve a hole in this iron plate for him! ”

As long as there is a hole, then Mourinho's back line has nothing to show off!

…………

…………

Pulled up from the grass by Drogba, Robben gasped and knelt on the grass to tie his shoelaces.

"Be careful, these bastards are obviously trying to kill you!" Gerald walked over and gently patted Robben on the head.

The Dutchman nodded incessantly, staring at Garas, "They can't scare me!" ”

Standing up again, Robben immediately got Yang Cheng's instructions, asking him to switch positions with Xiao Xiao Luo more, take the ball more, and break through when he has the opportunity.

Robben, who was instructed, just glanced at Xiao Xiao Luo, and both of them had some tacit knowledge that the other teammates would create one-on-one passing opportunities for them, and the two of them invariably gave each other a thumbs up.

On the attack again, Chelsea's long ball got in front and Finnan pushed Robinho back into midfield.

As soon as Carrick got the ball, Frank Lampard posted it, and the latter was well aware of Carrick's shortcomings, because Mourinho also prepared a very detailed tactical arrangement for them, among which against Carrick, the most important thing is to be close.

Carrick crossed the ball to the right and Gerrard ran back from the front, receiving it, turning and taking it in stride against the Chelsea defence.

After a succession of passes, Carrick spotted an opportunity when he noticed that Arjen Robben and Ronaldo had quietly switched positions, with the Dutchman going to the right and the Portuguese back to the left.

"Here, Steven!" Carrick immediately ran diagonally towards the center circle, looking like he was about to run into the defense zone of Makelele and Maniche. ,

Gerrard's ball was quickly at his feet, and Makelele and Maniche pounced on it, but Carrick stopped and pumped the ball before Maniche got close and lifted a half-high ball past Maniche.

Arjen Robben was in fine form for the game, and after being fouled by Gallas on the right, he knew in his heart that Chelsea would use this frequent foul to stop them, but he had no fear, even doubt.

Pulling to the boundary line, facing the incoming ball, and also paying attention to Gallas at close range, I saw the Dutchman facing the incoming ball with his left foot at the moment when the ball landed, swept the instep of the instep, and knocked the ball that should have bounced after landing horizontally past Gallas, passing through the narrow gap between the Frenchman's side and the sideline.

Not out of bounds!

As soon as the ball crossed Gallas, Peter Pan was quickened and rushed past Gallas from outside the pitch to avoid the Frenchman's defence.

Garras was approaching quickly, but when he saw Robben passing him, he made a sharp stop, turned around, and chased after Robben.

This season's Frenchman is more used by Mourinho as a left wing-back, because the current position is a defect of Chelsea, Mourinho can't find a reassuring left wing-back, so he uses Gallas, and in the position of central defender, the combination of Terry and Carvalho is also hand-picked by Mourinho.

However, this is not the case for Gallas, because in the few games in which Carvalho was injured, he and John Terry did not concede a single goal, but Carvalho and Terry also made a number of mistakes.

Whether it is a fan or a professional, they all feel that Gallas + Terry is the most ideal center-back combination for Chelsea at present, and Gallas himself keeps asking to return to the middle, but Mourinho ignored his request, which made him angry for a long time, and now seeing that Robben wants to directly pass himself one-on-one, the French can't help but be angry.

Robben is almost close to the sideline with the ball, very fast, Liverpool's entire forward line is also advancing rapidly, Drogba, Ronaldo Jr. and Robben, the sprint speed of the three players is within the top five in the Premier League, together forming the most rapid and ornamental forward combination in the Premier League.

Gallas chased desperately, but the Dutchman dribbled the ball at a well-proportioned pace and the combination of man and ball was very good, and it is usually difficult to break the ball with his feet against such a player, because the defenders can't find the right time to get their feet.

Fortunately, Gallas's recovery speed was very fast, and he was not thrown away by Robben, and if he had met a slower player, he would have been left behind by Robben.

Gallas has a lot of experience, and he knows in his heart that since I can't get off the foot and I don't want to foul, then I'll let you burst out, the front is the bottom line, where can you break through?

But just when he had this idea, he saw Robben suddenly slow down and make a gesture to cut inside in the middle.

Sudden inward cut after accelerating the breakthrough on the side, this is Robben's most threatening weapon on the side, Gallas has long studied Robben's technical characteristics, and as soon as he reacted, he immediately followed the emergency stop, making a gesture to block Robben's inward cut.

But just when his foot was about to stretch out, Robben suddenly knocked his left foot, and the ball suddenly hit the left side of Garras from the inside cut, and Robben changed his whole body to break through to the left side, and his speed soared almost at this moment.

Garras realized that he had been fooled, but his mind had already commanded his feet, and when he insisted on retracting the command and turning to catch up with Robben, the center of gravity of the whole person had lost its balance, especially his feet, which could not withstand this sudden change at all.

Broken!

After Garas's reaction, the whole person fell to the grass, watching Robben disappear.

The latter, after past Gallas, cut inside from the right and got ahead of Maniche who was chasing back, and passed the ball into the box, where Drogba cut in and fired a direct volley under the interference of Terry.

Cech made a brilliant save to get the ball straight off the line, corner!

'It was so sudden, Robben's breakthrough on the right was quick, very sudden, and if Drogba had picked up in the middle and pursued a little more angle, this kick should have ...... Eh, let's see, Garras is still on the ground, what's going on? ”,

'The referee blew the whistle for the timeout and signalled that the Chelsea team doctor should get on the pitch as soon as possible, is Gallas injured?'

"If it was, it would be fun!" The on-site commentator said with a smile, "Just now Gallas committed a foul and almost injured Robben, but now the Dutchman used his speed and technology to smash Gallas, is this considered a revenge of the Dutch?" ”

Sure enough, as soon as the Chelsea team doctor entered the stadium and checked Gallas's injury, he quickly made a judgment and signaled that Gallas must return to the stadium for a diagnosis and then determine whether he could continue to play.

"He's not going to him!" Mourinho, after receiving instructions from the team doctor on the sidelines, kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him in anger.

The importance of Gallas as a player may not be clear to others, but Mourinho himself knows it.

He is indeed a very strong defender, able to play multiple positions, and he and John Terry's centre-back combination is indeed good, but first, there is a lack of people on the left, and secondly, Carvalho also needs a main position, so Mourinho moved Gallas to the left.

He has always been aware of Gallas's psychology, and he has pondered it very thoroughly in this regard, and made Gallas obedient, which has established Chelsea's current steel defense, but if Gallas is now injured by Robben, not to mention the shame, and more importantly, what about the left side?

"How?" Mourinho watched as the stretcher lifted Gallas to the sidelines and immediately walked up.

"The problem is troublesome!" The team doctor looked like he had a headache, which made Mourinho's heart feel cold.

The team doctor looked at Gallas's right knee very seriously, and asked Gallas to do a few leg stretches, but the Frenchman looked so painful and uncomfortable that he couldn't even stretch his leg in the simplest way.

"It's likely to be a sprain, but you have to be prepared!" The team doctor pointed to his knee, which was a big problem.

It is because of injuries to countless professional players that their entire careers have gone dark.

Mourinho wanted to breathe fire in both eyes, and he wondered, how could he hurt his left side of the fierce man after a breakthrough in defense of the opponent?

"Wayne!" Mourinho shouted in a deep voice.

Bridge immediately jumped out of the bench, "I'm here, head!" ”

Mourinho stared at Bridge, holding back the anger in his heart, "Do you need to warm up?" ”

"No, head, I'm always ready!" Bridge's heart was hot, and the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

He is also an England international, but now at Chelsea, he can only play a dozen substitutes for Gallas and others, which is unacceptable to him, and he has been waiting for an opportunity.

"Alright, you go up and play left-back!" Mourinho pointed to the pitch and shouted.

Bridge nodded immediately and turned to leave, but Mourinho stopped him again.

"Look at the Dutchman, don't let him break through from the left, keep an eye on it, be sure to make a move, not be sure...... As long as it's not in the box, you can foul the scale...... Do it yourself! Mourinho gritted his teeth.

Bridge was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized his responsibility.

Liverpool's wingers are second to none in the Premier League, Robben, Ronaldo and Ribery are all wide killers, and there is also a very good Arshavin, which is really puzzling, where did their Caesar poach so many good wingers?

In the Premier League, many full-backs are rumored that there are only two ways to prevent Liverpool's wide breakthrough and change to inward, relying on more people to block, and fouling.

The former has too much impact on the defensive system, and the latter needs to master a scale.

……

Yang Cheng, who was in the distance, of course, didn't know what Mourinho was telling Bridge, he just smiled and asked Paul Baier next to him, "What do you think he should tell Bridge to pay attention to now?" ”

"How do I know?" Paul Beyer replied angrily that Gallas' injury had made them feel a lot better because the Frenchman defended really well.

"He's probably going to tell Bridge, don't get shaken anymore!" Benitez said this coldly.

Yang Cheng and the others stared at each other with wide eyes, and then burst into laughter, this Spanish fat guy is too humorous!. ）
