489 The tide is over
PS, May Day is International Labor Day, but we don't give a holiday, and we are so depressed that we are desperately working hard these days, and strive to break out! (Xi Lao Chen is not a full-time coder, brothers are considerate and considerate!!)
When you're backing a team that has been beaten by the same team multiple times, plus it's a less important FA Cup, the stands at Stamford Bridge are a bit empty.
In fact, Stamford Bridge has never been full, and their attendance has never been satisfactory, so the preparation of Abramovich and Kenyon to build a new stadium has been delayed, without the slightest sense of urgency, but Liverpool, the preparation of a new stadium has long been on the agenda.
Arsenal expects to double the operating income of tickets and stadiums after entering the new stadium, which is a huge temptation for any team, and the ticket price of Anfield Stadium is certainly not comparable to London, but Liverpool fans are loyal, high attendance, advertising, shops and other operations can fill this point.
Morse's plan is to build the new stadium next door to Anfield Stadium, which is usually used for parking, and the stadium is expected to be named after Anfield Stadium, but it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and it will certainly not be completed in a short time.
The stands are empty, and the atmosphere at home is unlikely to be good.
Even Alex Ferguson, who has always blamed Old Trafford for the getting worse and worse atmosphere at the stadium, couldn't help but shake his head again and again after coming to Stamford Bridge: "Their fans are worse than us!" ”
Old Ferguson once bombarded the fans in the stands at Old Trafford for eating steak and falling in love at the same time, and only took the time to watch the ball in his spare time, but now, he thinks that many fans at Stamford Bridge are purely here for tourism.
Of course, there is no shortage of die-hard football in every team, but sadly, at the ticket price of a Premier League team, the majority of die-hard fans can't afford it, which is why English pubs are so prevalent.
In this FA Cup match, Chelsea has not made much adjustments, Mourinho has never been a fan of the rotation system, he prefers to use a set of lineups and a few substitutes to play the world, so he just replaced Veron with Maniche, Gudjohnsen replaced Crespo, Quaresma replaced Duff, and nothing else changed.
Yang Cheng's rotation is still not small, the goalkeeper is still Reina, and the left back is Tiernok, a local youth coach of Liverpool who has been coached by Yang Cheng to be an all-rounder this season, and can play the position of two fullbacks on the left and right, very comprehensive, and very balanced in attack and defense, somewhat similar to the later Arbelloa.
The center-back combination Yang Cheng used Vidic and Carragher, Hyypia was rested, and the right full-back was Gega Johnson, who has been eye-catching this season, and Finnan, who played three games in a row, was rested, and England's right full-back was stronger than defensive, but with the assistance of Liverpool's strong midfield, his shortcomings are not irreparable.
Midfielder Yang Cheng lined up the three-midfield combination of Hamann, Murphy and Gerrard, Carrick has also played many games in a row, and Davis has just recovered from injury, so Yang Cheng's rotation of the midfield is also not small.
On the left side of the front line, Ribery returned to the right, and Larsson played as a central striker, and the trio formed a front trident.
After the start of the game, Liverpool, who had a lot of rotation, did not adapt, but launched a fast attack on Chelsea's defense from the beginning, especially Xiao Xiaoluo, who returned to the right, formed a sharp right attack with Gega Johnson, completely controlled the right corridor, and pressed Chelsea's left side.
Just five minutes into the game, Glen Johnson completed a personal dribble on the right and advanced to the heart of Chelsea, and after completing the combination with Ronaldo, the Portuguese split the ball to the bottom line in the right corner of the penalty area, and Glen Johnson crossed low to the front of the bottom line.
Larsson's movement was really sloppy, and he poked the ball into the net straight ahead of John Terry to open the scoring for Liverpool.
The game has been played the same way Liverpool have followed, with Chelsea's midfield once again reverting to a muscular man's wreck, lacking creativity and control, and with a squad that has played five games so far in just 15 days, fitness is already on the verge of limits. "The tide is over!" 'Ferguson had already condemned Chelsea to death after watching the first 30 minutes of the game.
Beside him, Queiroz also looked helpless, "The biggest difference between Mourinho and Yang Cheng is that the latter's rotation system works better, but the Portuguese don't like rotation." ”
Ferguson himself is also a master of rotation system, the corners of his mouth raised, and he sneered: "Do you think you can mix in the Premier League without rotation?" ”
The Premier League is recognized as the busiest league in the world, in addition to the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, if it is a top team and European competitions, and even if some cup matches are drawn, it is not directly extra-time and penalties, but the second leg of the game.
Such a dense schedule makes the Premier League have no winter break, which greatly increases the physical needs of the team, and it is difficult for a set of squad to beat the world in the Premier League, and even teams such as Everton have suffered a sharp drop in results because of participating in European competitions.
The most obvious is Arsenal last season, the main lineup is so strong, but the substitute lineup is not strong, which directly leads to the Gunners giving up the championship to Liverpool, but if you look at pure strength, Liverpool last season is really not as good as Arsenal.
But, "This Litpool team has improved a lot from last season!" Ferguson shook his head and sighed.
This is the most terrifying thing about Yang Cheng! Whether it is in Kaiserslautern, Inter Milan, or coming to Liverpool, throughout his first season, the strength of the team is generally not strong, and the players introduced are also inclined to be practical, and they are all relatively young, proving that there is still a wealth of potential to be tapped, and he is also full of desire for honor, so in the second season, Yang Cheng's team has always made great progress.
"Liverpool will be the strongest contenders for the Premier League title next season, even more than Chelsea!" Ferguson, though reluctant to admit it, had to make such a judgment.
Cristiano, Ronaldo, Robben, Franck Ribery, the three players make up the most lethal winger group in the Premier League, plus a very comprehensive position, but different characteristics of Arshavin make Liverpool able to do a lot of writing on the wing.
Look at the center again, Drogba belongs to the kind of tactical center, but his strong body and increasingly excellent scoring ability make him more and more threatening, but Larsson is another type, he has speed, technique, smell, and header ability, he has almost everything, but he has no height, but he is very flexible, and he runs well without the ball.
With two very different centre-forwards and four wide players with different characteristics, Liverpool's attacking combination could theoretically be lined up with many different tactical ideas.
As everyone knows, Yang Cheng can do all this, precisely because he is a time-traveler and knows the technical characteristics of these stars, so he can put together such a team so calmly. But now in the eyes of the world, all this will only feel that Yang Cheng has a good eye.
It is precisely because of this that many teams will give priority to Yang Cheng's goals when digging players, and countless players are even more proud of being favored by Yang Cheng, and they all desperately want Yang Cheng to look at themselves.
This can be seen from the current popularity of Kirkby's academy.
I heard that countless parents of Xiao are doing everything possible to send their children to the youth academy after Yang Cheng's reform, and with Yang Cheng's reform, the performance of the Liverpool youth team is also very good.
Liverpool brought in a number of academy coaches from all over the world when they changed their youth academy, including Southampton's Marco Spider Ilias, whose arrival brought in Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale, both of whom are now the brightest rookies in Liverpool's academy.
Yang Cheng is only promoting the reform, and after the reform and the orderly development of the Kirkby Academy after the reform, he is only responsible for supervising and guiding the direction, and the specific operations are performed by Steve Haiwei and others. But he didn't expect this group of guys to sneak up other people's semi-finished products, such as Anchin Carroll in Newcastle, Rodwell in Eschton, and Aaron in Cardiff...... Ramsey, Arsenal's Wilshere and others also have more than a dozen young rookies that Yang Cheng was not familiar with in his previous life. , even before they were taking advantage of Leeds United's relegation to seduce several rookies in the Elland Road team, such as James Milner, Lennon and others, but because Yang Cheng could not guarantee the main position of the first team, these players failed to switch to Liverpool.
However, Yang Cheng can't control this, he can't interfere with the work of his subordinates again, remind them, don't do this, don't do that, besides, those rookies are really chasing Yang Cheng's name, as soon as they received an invitation from Liverpool, they immediately switched to come, whether it was the players or their parents, they all flocked to it.
This should be regarded as an effect led by Yang Cheng:
With Gerson's current momentum for Liverpool and the controversy caused by the poaching, he is more of a wait-and-see attitude, and the giants' academy basically does this, but the threat from Liverpool makes him really feel it.
This reminded him of someone who had commented on Yang Cheng before, saying that he was doing what Shankly did back then, and now, Yang Cheng and his Liverpool seem to be developing towards this path.
Sitting in the stands, Ferguson saw that Ribery was also active on the left side, and he could not stop Ferreira at all, and could only be broken through again and again, watching Ribery make a threat, which reminded him of the young player Ashley Young of Chentford, who has been hotly hyped recently.
This is another player that Yang Cheng is optimistic about, it is said that in this season's League Cup, Yang Cheng watched the game of Titford, commented on Ashley Young, and thought he was a very potential star.
It was originally just a casual sentence, but it was remembered by someone who cares, and then it was even more popular, causing the Watford player's value to skyrocket, and it is said that he is now worth more than 10 million euros, which is really unbelievable for an 18-year-old who has just established himself at Watford this season. But Zhan Gesen also watched Ash Shenyang's game, and it is indeed a very good player.
Manchester United lacks people on the right side, and Ash Shenyang is a right-footed player, which is very in line with Manchester United's positioning, so with Gerson having personally intervened in Ashley and Young's negotiations, Titford, who is at the Championship level, can't keep his own academy rookie, and it's just a matter of more money and less money.
In addition to the negotiations with Watford with Ashley and Young, there is also Park Ji-sung, who has performed well in PSV Eindhoven, and the South Korean is also a right-sided player recommended by Umgerson.
As the whistle blew at half-time in the referee's training, Ferguson also stood up from his seat.
"Let's go, you don't need to look at it!" The old warrior sighed, and scolded in his heart, Mourinho's guy is indeed not good enough. But he suddenly felt a burst of amusement.
"With so much money, it's possible to win the league title, but if you really get five kills from Liverpool this season, it's ironic!" Ferguson shook his head and smiled
Queiroz also smiled when he heard this, "Mourinho and Abramovich must hate Yang Cheng to death!" ”
"It better be!"
Anyway, both are opponents, and if Liverpool and Chelsea are allowed to go toe-to-toe, Manchester United will reap the benefits of this, and Ferguson will be happy to see these opponents toss themselves.
But in front of him is the FA Cup final, Manchester United meets Liverpool, it's not easy to play!
The final score of the FA Cup semi-final confirmed Ferguson's speculation, as Liverpool scored their fourth kill at Stamford Bridge to win 1-0 and reach the FA Cup final.
As a result, there is only one last chance left in front of Mourinho.
That was on April 20, the third round of the league was played at the Anluer Stadium.
It's a league title game.
Chelsea are five points ahead of Liverpool at the current point gap between the two sides, but the Blues have lost back-to-back games recently, and a defeat away to Liverpool would not only be humiliating with five defeats by Liverpool this season, but would also allow Liverpool to cut the gap to two points.
With five league games remaining, it remains to be seen who will die, but what is certain is that Chelsea's morale will be frighteningly low and there is a good chance that they will capsize. However, Mourinho also received a piece of good news, Abramovi was responsible for the FA Cup semi-final game, personally interviewed by reporters, expressed his trust in Mourinho, and said that regardless of whether Chelsea can win the league title this season, Mourinho will be Chelsea's manager next season.
This should be a decision made by Abramovich after weighing the pros and cons, because it is easy to fire Mourinho, but where to find a manager who can replace Mourinho?
Today's famous marshals are almost all famous flowers, and it is not so easy to find one for a while.
After playing the FA Cup semi-finals, Yang Cheng led the team back to Liverpool on the same day to prepare for the 34th round of the league three days later.
It can be said that by now, the title race for the Premier League has been completely white-hot.
This crucial clash is being discussed in football all over the world, especially in the British media...... They have great expectations for this game, thinking that whoever wins this game will have the initiative to win the championship.
However, there are also different opinions that Chelsea still have the initiative to win the title even if they lose, for the simple reason that the fixtures and the points advantage accumulated in the previous period of the league are good.
"After being eliminated from the FA Cup and the Champions League, the current Chelsea can start to focus on the league, and looking at the next five games, Chelsea except for the away challenge to Manchester United is a tough game, the other opponents are very average teams, with Mourinho and Chelsea's performance this season, as long as the performance is normal, it is not difficult to win the opponent."
'In other words, the real test of Chelsea is the trip to Old Trafford!'
"But for Liverpool, the situation is the opposite, after playing Chelsea, Crystal Palace is a team fighting for relegation, Tottenham Hotspur and Middlesbrough are fighting for qualification for the UEFA Cup, Arsenal is unlikely to be polite to Liverpool at home, and finally the 38th round of the league, the home game against Aston Villa will be more relaxed."
"In this way, almost every game of Liverpool in the next game is a tough battle, and what tests Liverpool even more is that they still have two Champions League semi-finals to play, and they have to fight on multiple fronts, which is a huge test of Liverpool's physical fitness."
"Also, even if Liverpool do survive this period, as long as Chelsea win the remaining games, they can still win the league title, after all, they lost the game against Liverpool and still have a two-point advantage in hand."
"From this point of view, Chelsea are still the favourites to win the title, and if Chelsea win the title, the gold content will definitely be questioned, after all, no Premier League team will be the same in the title season, the opponent has been killed five times, and Liverpool will become the most tragic runners-up in the history of the Premier League."
"But we can only sympathize with this, because Chelsea's net investment of up to 200 million this season has indeed greatly improved the overall strength of the Blues, and if it weren't for the grudge with Liverpool in April, I believe everyone would think that Chelsea deserved to win the title."
'So I think Jose Mourinho can look at this game with a more relaxed attitude when he comes to Anfield, the FA Cup and Champions League exit is a foregone conclusion, and this game will not change the embarrassment of Chelsea this season, and he can completely distinguish this game from the previous four games.
"If you can win, of course it's best to shake, and a draw is acceptable, if you really lose, it's not the end of the world!"
Mourinho seems to be really as analyzed in this authoritative commentary of the Thai newspaper, after coming to Liverpool, he never mentioned winning the game, repeatedly emphasizing that this is just a very ordinary league, and he does not care about the outcome of this game at all.
And this can be seen from his arrangement...... )
