Chapter 43: The Road to Stardom

The score remained in place until the end of the first half, with visitors Chelsea taking a one-goal lead thanks to a pass and a shot from Joonker.

Mourinhot applauded the Chelsea players as they came off the pitch, and as Jonker walked past him, the Portuguese boss patted the number 25 on the shoulder in encouragement! O'Reilly, on the other hand, walked into the players' tunnel with a gloomy face.

He had to find a way to deal with Jonk as soon as possible, or else...... He felt that the second half would only be worse.

A hairy boy he has paid enough attention to has made the Villa team have to face a situation of falling behind by one goal, not that he does not pay attention to it, it seems that he has not paid enough attention, but there is one problem that makes O'Reilly a headache, Chelsea is not an ordinary team, and spending a lot of effort to stare at one or two people can completely limit its attack.

It's a dilemma, but it has to be chosen!

O'Reilly thought for a long time, if he wanted to start with Jonker, he really couldn't stop this all-round newcomer.

He specifically asked Barry and Delaney, who had the most contact with Jonker in the first half, how they felt when defending Jonker, and both of them answered that it was tricky.

"He's got speed, he's got power, and he's ...... That kid doesn't play by common sense at all! The point is that there seems to be some kind of magic in that kid...... It's really hard! ”

O'Reilly thought about it and decided that it would be better to start in the middle lane.

But he thought about it...... It's Frank Lampard in the middle!

Best midfielder in the English Premier League last season! An absolute superstar, Chelsea's new midfield leader! Who can guarantee the restriction of such a player?

O'Reilly wanted to cut off the source of the transmission, there was no forward pass, and no matter how dangerous Jonker and Drogba were in front, it would be useless to not get the ball!

After thinking about it for a long time, instead of finding a way to limit the opponent, it is better to play out your own offensive, and limiting means passive, following the opponent's train of thought to arrange, simply Vera broke the kettle and played his own offensive football.

There is no way, Chelsea's squad is so balanced that there is no so-called weakest link to target, if you have to find it, it may be the negligence of the defenders when Villa scored in the first half.

There is only one way to attack, and if you lose, you will lose, and you can explain it if you play offensive at home.

O'Reilly finally chose to attack with a sad face, and Mourinho was relaxed.

Originally, he was mentally prepared for the possibility of getting a point on this away road, and Villa have always been a tough bone to gnaw at home.

In addition, Mourinho was moved by Jonker's state and wanted to play an experimental game, first observe the effect, who thought that now he had a one-goal lead in the first half, the key is that Jonker's play completely led Chelsea's attack in the first half.

In this way, it will not be difficult to score again in the second half.

"We're going to keep fighting like this! Expand your victory with a quick attack! ”

Mourinho wants to show the big boss Abou on the road, who said that Chelsea can't play attacking football, pragmatic tactics can also play big scores.

Jonker's play is very good, both goals are directly related to him, which shows that the boy's ball quotient is not low at all, if he can maintain his form, even Mourinho himself has to admit that the forward position in the Chelsea team seems to be greatly adjusted!

Drogba, who has always been in the first place, has to give way to Jonker, and the main force of the first forward line is certain.

Jonker was also happy that the manager said it was not impossible for him to play the full game, there were so many options in Chelsea's forward line.

After Mourinho finished speaking, he patted his thigh and greeted his teammates: "In the second half, everyone passed the football to me!" ”

His teammates were amused by him.

Jonker is really the most special presence in the Chelsea squad. The old England Gang, he is one of them, and the newly introduced Mourinho lineage, Jonker can also be counted on their side!

Both sides have to give Jonk face, this little brother is definitely the best bridge between the important small groups in the two clubs, and Jonk's personality is lively and cheerful, with a unique sense of closeness to an eighteen-year-old boy, unlike some people who are not very old, but they have a lot of thoughts, and the city government is very deep, and he looks old-fashioned.

Of course, a key factor in Jonker's popularity, the kid is very good at picking up girls, and he doesn't have to worry about having a good place to go with Jonke, and he can get together in private, and he is naturally familiar with each other on the court and in the locker room.

From the incident of the last collective entertainment, it can also be seen that Jonker's responsibility, in the team, he is righteous and angry, enough buddies, everyone likes such a little brother, everyone heard Jonke's greeting, naturally no one objected.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea resolutely followed the tactical requirements of manager Jose Mourinho and continued to press and pass the ball at a fast pace.

And what about the Villa team? Apparently at a loss for Chelsea's style of play.

It's not that I don't want to attack according to the layout of the Villa manager's midfield, but the problem is that it is difficult for the football to pass smoothly and form an effective combination, and how to form an effective attack.

O'Reilly is not an incompetent manager, the current situation of the team must be changed, since he has chosen to attack, then he has to attack and attack, there is no other way, if there is a Chinese commentator commenting, he will definitely give a commentary, Villa can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, attack and go out.

"Press it, press it all on me!"

Feeling the anger of head coach O'Reilly, the fans at Villa Park Stadium are also loudly cheering for their team, "attack, attack"

Not to mention that the fan is the twelfth person on the field!

Villa's offensive momentum finally picked up, and Chelsea, who once dominated the field in the lower body, began to shrink into their own side.

O'Reilly also noticed the changes on the field, if he was in a hurry when Villa couldn't attack just now, then he is worried now.

The two teams are now competing with the most powerful forces, or Villa will attack to recover a goal, and everything is still possible, or Chelsea will finish the game.

Now Chelsea are starting to shrink, play a beautiful defensive counter-attack, and score another goal, the unlucky one can only be Villa, and the defeat will be a certainty.

The most crucial moment of the game is when the team that can score a goal first is likely to have the last laugh.

"The defensive action of the players on both sides began to increase, in the second half of the game compared with the first half, the two teams in the midfield stalemate, scramble significantly increased, the first half is to see good, the second half is to see the worry, both teams are looking for opportunities to finish the opponent in the midfield, it is likely to happen in a few seconds!"

Lineker also feels that the game has reached a white-hot stage here, and who of the two teams can stand up and contribute to the team, that is the real core, the absolute star!

A star is an existence that can be achieved at a critical moment, and if you want to become a star, this is also the only way!
