465 Three-dimensional defense

"Hey, Natalie!"

After the four of them sat down, a middle-aged man not far away smiled and waved at Natalie.

"Hello, Andrea!" Natalie responded politely, the other party is the initiator of the Holy Spirit Knights, and Yang Cheng's most loyal fan, and Natalie also knows each other, so they recognize her at a glance.

"Who are these three?" Andrea looked at the three Avril Lavigne.

"Uncle Makoto's friend, Avril Lavigne, two of her friends." Natalie introduced.

"Oh, the bell of freedom, one of my favorite songs!" Andrea said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Avril nodded, even she didn't know, in the end, Andrea liked this song because she sang it well? Or is it because this is a song written by Yang Cheng?

"Do you come to football games often?" After sitting down, Avril pulled Natalie to the side and asked.

"It's not very often, sometimes I just have to watch live TV when I don't have time." Natalie is actually quite quiet in front of outsiders and doesn't talk much, but today she has a little idea of greeting friends for Yang Cheng, so she looked around and said more, "Chelsea fans are crazy today, and the atmosphere created is too depressing, almost suffocating!" ”

Avril didn't quite understand what this meant, but she could vaguely hear that Natalie was worried about Yang Cheng.

What is their relationship?

"It's okay, Natalie, Caesar will be able to handle it!" Andrea laughed.

Natalie nodded, and a pair of eyes were fixed on the exit, waiting for Yang Cheng and Liverpool to come out.

"Welcome to Stamford Bridge!"

"This is the eighth round of the Premier League, the leader Chelsea takes on Liverpool, who are third in the league, and at the same time, it is also a highly anticipated key battle, which has been dubbed by countless media as a battle between the old and new kings in Europe, and the former king Yang Cheng faces the challenge of the new champion coach Jose Mourinho."

'Chelsea's performances have changed dramatically this season with the addition of Jose Mourinho, and they are now on a seven-game winning streak in the league, with Jose Mourinho's Blues unbeaten in the Premier League and the limelight not without a beating, which has led to an increase in the assessment of the Blues this season.

"As the defending champions last season, Liverpool's start can't be said to be bad, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, this result is something to be proud of at any time, but this season's Chelsea and Arsenal have adjusted better, especially Chelsea, which is the best in Europe."

"From the perspective of staffing, the strength of both teams is excellent, Chelsea defend and Liverpool attack, which is also a reflection of the coaching style of the two managers, and now it depends on whether Liverpool's attack is better or Chelsea's defense is more solid in this offensive and defensive confrontation."

'We've got the rosters for both sides.

'There are no changes to Chelsea's squad, with Petr Cech in goal, Gallas, Carvalho, John Terry and Pacos Ferreira at the back, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Thiago in midfield, Joe Cole, Crespo and Gudjohnsen in the front three, and it seems that Mourinho has no intention of making any changes.

"Liverpool's roster is also not too surprising, with Reina in goal, Riese, Hyyypia, Carragher and Glen Johnson at the back, Essien, Carrick and Gerrard in midfield, and Robben, Larsson and Ronaldo in the front three.

"Judging from this set of lineups, the arrangement of the two sides is also the strongest main lineup of their own, there are no big changes and adjustments, and there are no too unexpected variables, the key is to see the strategy of the coaches of both sides in the game, as well as the performance of the players in the 90-minute game."

These two points are actually very important, and it can even be said that if the two sides walk into the field of play and the odds of winning or losing are half the same, then these two points are the key to determining the outcome of a game.

Of course, some teams are at a disadvantage when they walk onto the pitch, but with these two points, they can still win the game, and that's the role of the manager and the star.

"Okay, audience friends, we can see that players from both sides are walking into the stadium one after another!"

"Liverpool announced the change of captain of the team yesterday, according to the reliable information we received before, this time it was Sami Hyypia who took the initiative to ask for a change of captain, not as speculated, Yang Cheng did to keep Gerrard, so we can see that the first to walk is Gerrard as the captain for the first time!" ,

The whole Stamford Bridge stadium was suddenly fried, and it was impossible to tell whether it was boos or cheers, it was a mess anyway.

The players on both sides walked out of the player tunnel, and Yang Cheng followed the players out and walked to the front of his coach's box.

He was waiting for Mourinho to come and greet him, after all, the Portuguese are the masters, so he should not be embarrassed.

"He's pretending not to know the rules!" Paul Byer knows Yang Cheng's tricks best.

Yang Cheng laughed, "Then I don't mind being anti-guest-oriented!" ”

But Mourinho was obviously not ready to give him such a chance, and he came over not long after, but Yang Cheng had been pretending to talk to Benitez all the time, and he had his back to the Portuguese.

Mourinho's face is also not good-looking, because no one likes to see a person's back, but for the sake of grace, he still walks over, but a little slowly.

Yang Cheng was also scheming, and when he got closer, he suddenly turned around.

"Ha, hello, Jose!" It looks intimate, like a good friend I haven't seen in years.

Hypocrisy!

Mourinho scolded in his heart, but he also pretended to have a smile on the surface, "Hello, Yang Cheng, we finally meet again!" ”

"yes, we were all busy celebrating the last time we met, so we didn't have a chance to talk to you properly!"

Yang Cheng's smile made Mourinho feel the urge to vomit, but this guy had to pretend to follow and pretend not to hear the ridicule outside of his words, because the last time they met, Inter Milan beat Porto hard, and Mourinho couldn't forget the humiliation that game brought him.

"Okay, after the game, come to my office for a drink, if you're still in the mood by then!" Mourinho suggested with a smile that this is a very unwritten rule in the Premier League, and generally the relationship is slightly better, and they will drink together after the game, and sometimes even the coaching staff will call it.

There are many examples of opponents on the pitch and friends off the pitch.

"Okay, I've always been in a good mood, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink at that time, I heard that you don't drink much!" Yang Cheng choked him with a smile, but it seemed like he was joking.

It is true that there is no red wine in Mourinho's office, but at this time, how can he have stage fright?

"No problem, I have a good drink like this, anytime and anywhere!" Secretly like to say, we've won 7 games this season, and we still care about you?

"My requirements are relatively high, if you invite other people to drink, I may not be used to drinking!" Yang Cheng replied with a smile.

"Rest assured, you are guaranteed to be satisfied!" Mourinho laughed.

"We'll see!" Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

It was only at this time that the two began to pretend to spark.

Andy Gray's live camera was on the sidelines, "What the hell are the two of them talking about?" ”

This should also be a question for everyone.

After seeing the two shake hands, Mourinho walked back to his place.

The race is on!

Wow~~Whew~~

The stands at Stamford Bridge throughout were interesting and shocking.

Unlike Natalie Portman's delicate expression with a frown, Avril shouted directly.

'Is this group of Chelsea players playing people or football?'

Just because she saw Lampard directly tackle Carrick who took the ball, shoveled the England midfielder to the ground, and then kindly walked over to pull him up, after all, they are all former teammates of West Ham United, but who knows, Carrick directly slapped his hand away, and his mouth looked very unhappy.

He's so ruthless!

If it hadn't been for Carrick to avoid it, this kick might have been kicked directly on his ankle, and everyone knows the seriousness!

"Natalie, don't you need to give cards for this kind of bumping action?" Avril asked, stimulation is stimulation, but that is based on the premise of bullying others.

Now Avril sees herself as a Liverpool fan, and of course she feels bullied like this.

"It's a tactic, scareless!" Natalie said calmly, but in her heart she had to admit that it was useful.

Many players were frightened by this, and they directly played abnormally.

Lethal tactics are not uncommon in the Premier League, Keane and Vieira and others are loyal fans of this tactic, many people are often frightened by this, and the whole game is trembling, how to play well when they have palpitations? ,

And in this way, you can also try the depth of the referee on duty to see what his standard of enforcement is.

Now it seems that the referee should still be relatively neutral, he called Frank Lampard over and gave him a serious warning, which seems to be saying that next time he does this, he will have to give the card directly.

The foul gave Liverpool a free-kick in front of the Reds, and after the Reds drove out, Glen Johnson burst down the right and slotted to the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, where he was intercepted and crossed to Gerrard, who burst into the box with the ball in front of him.

Terry was already in front of him, reaching out to intercept and tripping Gerrard with the ball.

"From the slow motion, it was indeed a foul, but it was only 2 minutes into the game, and Willy did not give a penalty easily!" Andy Gray looked at the slow motion and showed that Terry did not touch the ball and tripped Gerrard directly, but from Willy's point of view, it was indeed a little blurry, but it was not partial.

But soon, Liverpool launched another wave of attacks, Reese cut forward on the left and passed straight to Robben, the Dutchman broke through Ferreira on the left and crossed, Carvalho headed the ball clear, and defused a Liverpool attack.

'Liverpool looked more aggressive after the start, while Chelsea stuck to their tactics since the beginning of the season, with all three lines of players pressing at high intensity, completely setting up their own half as a high-pressure minefield, and doing everything they could to prevent Liverpool from facing their own goal.

Originally, Mourinho's counter-attacking weapon also had a fast Duff, but Duff was injured, and he used Joe Cole and Wright Phillips on the bench in this game, which will greatly affect Chelsea's counterattack.

However, Liverpool also suffered, with Didier Drogba absent and losing a fulcrum up front.

Looking at the few games that Liverpool have won this season, without exception, they have not faced a team as strict as Chelsea, and the only one they have encountered was against Bolton, which Liverpool lost.

Now it seems that Mourinho intends to carry the defense to the end.

…………

…………

"Carrick!" Paul Byer came to the sidelines and made a retreat towards Carrick.

As soon as the England midfielder heard this, he immediately understood the manager's thoughts.

Liverpool took the initiative for the first 10 minutes, with Chelsea simply reserving in their own half and letting you attack.

"He seems to know his strengths!" Benitez shook his head and smiled wryly.

A strong central midfield ensures that Chelsea have enough quality to turn their own half into a high-pressure zone, and any ball that enters the area will be ruthlessly disrupted, and they will do everything in their power to prevent you from sending the ball into the 32-metre area where you can threaten.

You know, almost the vast majority of the goals come in this area, and if you can't get the ball in, the threat is weakened.

Chelsea's attack this season is very poor, Barosh was originally very in line with Mourinho's defensive counterattack, but I don't know why, the Portuguese did not reuse him, Crespo himself is an attacking centre-forward, belongs to the kind of breaking dense, useful against a team with good defense, but counter-attacking......

In this game, Mourinho simply retracted, let you attack, let you attack, I will defend first, and then try to counterattack.

Yang Cheng thought of the 2010 Champions League final, the one where Inter Milan met Bayern Munich, although the details were different, but the overall idea of tactics was very consistent.

"I think this Jose Mourinho is really similar to you, very much like you!" Paul Beyer said with a wry smile.

"Like a fart!" Yang Cheng's tone was very unfriendly.

"Isn't it like?" Paul Beyer asked rhetorically, "You advocate offense, so you do everything you can to adjust a three-dimensional attack, but he sees that the offense is not working, so he pays attention to defense, and I think his defense can also be called three-dimensional." ”

Yang Cheng glared at Paul Beyer, who is not happy with anyone commenting on Mourinho now.

But I have to admit in my heart that Chelsea's defense is indeed very three-dimensional and very reasonable.

If there are any problems with the previous central defenders, then the combination of Carvalho and John Terry can really be said to be a perfect match, one is brave, the other is a co-defence, plus Ferreira and Gallas on the left and right wings, and in front of him is a Makelele with excellent interception ability in the coverage area, and Frank Lampard and Thiago who can attack and defend. ,

However, in this way, Chelsea's defense is strong, but the attack is not good, and many times it is disjointed.

"Even if he gets reinforced concrete on the pitch, I'll still carve him out of a hole!" Yang Cheng is confident in his team's offense.

"Paul, keep an eye on Carrick, don't let him go up too much, the overall formation retreats, don't press up, since we know it's a minefield, let's not step on him, let them go a little further." Yang Cheng commanded.

But it's clear that Mourinho didn't go as Yang Cheng expected.

Originally, football should be a scale, lowering and raising at the same time, but now Liverpool has shrunk back, Chelsea has not actively pressed, making the field very boring and dull, except for some fierce physical confrontations from time to time, nothing else has changed much.

After Liverpool retreated, Chelsea's tactics became one, I poked my head out a little, if I could catch the hole, I would counterattack, no, I retreated back to defend as soon as possible, first ensure defense, do not concede the ball as the first principle.

"Is this bastard a tortoise?" Yang Cheng really had the urge to scold.

As the clock ticked by, Liverpool took the initiative, and even by Barcelona's standards, Liverpool had a high possession rate, but could not make an effective attack, and the only two threatening shots on goal were one

The second was Gerrard's long-range shot, and the first was Ronaldo's acceleration after a pass on the right flank, and a low cross in front of goal, but Larsson's follow-up shot was firmly held by Cech and defused a crisis that was close at hand.

"This is the Premier League winning team?" Yang Cheng really felt a little unbelievable, it was too much.

Benitez and Paul Baier glanced at each other, both smiling bitterly, feeling that Yang Cheng's complaint was not unreasonable.

Is it conceivable that Chelsea didn't have a shot on goal in the whole game?

…………

…………

Mourinho in the distance was sitting in the coach's box, but he secretly poked his head out, looked at Yang Cheng who was standing on the sidelines, and smiled.

He really thinks that Yang Cheng's habit of standing outside and directing the game is not good, because your every move falls into the eyes of the opponent.

"He's in a bit of a hurry now!" Mourinho laughed.

Sitting next to him was his chief assistant, Villas Boas, 27 years old, younger than Yang Cheng but already having a wealth of coaching experience, having become a football coach at the age of 17.

Of course, at the age of 27, he was only Mourinho's assistant, but the 27-year-old Yang Cheng is already the head coach of the European championship, so he has always used Yang Cheng's experience to spur himself, and he believes that Mourinho is the same.

"Still have to wait, he's not such a quick person!" Boas knows Yang Cheng very well, idols, fans will always do everything possible to understand their idols.

Not only him, but even Mourinho knows Yang Cheng very well, otherwise, he would not have studied psychology with his wife because Yang Cheng had studied psychology by himself, and he went to study psychology with his wife during his coaching of Porto.

This is obviously influenced by Yang Cheng, but he just refuses to admit it.

"What he hates the most is to meet this kind of team that guards him without temper!" Mourinho seems to be proud of his masterpiece.

Didn't you say that you Yang Cheng attacked the number one in the world?

I can defend your attack, not only this time, but next time, in the future, I will be able to defend your attack every time, make you anxious, make you anxious, make you make mistakes, and then I will slowly find an opportunity to kill you all at once.

Villas-Boas felt amused, he felt that Yang Cheng and Mourinho were two extremes, one was to try to attack and win the game through attack, while the other was to advocate winning, as long as he could win, as long as he could hit the opponent, he didn't mind using either way, even if it was extremely conservative, there was no problem.

So, in Boas's opinion, the confrontation between the two is really interesting.

And as things stand, it seems that conservatives have an easier time winning the game! (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing]
