Chapter 130: Opponent Barcelona
PS: Thank you for your live and die monthly pass support!
Stamford Bridge was buzzing with people ahead of the game and the Chelsea fans were cheering on the team in their own way, singing and chanting in unison, who said the fans here were not enthusiastic and there was no horror from Anfield.
At this moment, the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, after the players came out to warm up, has not stopped, the fans are always the loveliest, before the game they only know that the team is not favored, the team needs them, they are also using all their strength, shouting for Chelsea, it is not about winning or losing, only love for the team, support for the players.
Such a scene, Jonk is also very moved, for a long time I heard the fans shouting their names, of course, the Chelsea fans shouted the starting players, but when it came to Jonker, Chelsea No. 25 was still very moved, they did not forget it! For the fans to score today!
The opponent Barcelona players are also warming up, from the demeanor of the players, it seems that there is no nervousness, Ronaldinho always smiles and looks at his teammates and jokes, the obvious buckteeth do not make them feel inappropriate at all, but make people feel that Ronaldinho is very cute, as if he is born with optimism.
Barcelona players are also people who are used to seeing big scenes, and they can still be so comfortable with the unusually warm atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, I have to say that Barcelona still has a lot of psychological advantages in their hearts.
The media always said before the game that as long as Barcelona can play their own attack, Chelsea can only put the bus in one way, and then the opponent must press out to attack if they want to advance. Then it is easier for Barcelona players to play.
Overall, Chelsea's defence has been impeccable, but the attack has been criticised for a long time.
Today it is again led by Xinding Junk. God knows what the Dao will become.
Jonk's start caused a lot of doubt, and it was grapevine before, and as the warm-up began, the news was confirmed.
Many British media on the sidelines were debating whether Mourinho was taking a risk.
"The Portuguese is getting less and less calm, he's gambling with the team!"
"It's not good to learn anything, learn from Sir Alex Ferguson's surprising use of troops, and there are doubts before the game. Does he have that level! ”
"Yes! However, it is necessary to pay for tuition! ”
Jonker, of course, didn't know what to say, and he had already been the focus of media talk before the game. Mourinho and Jonk are grasshoppers on a rope at the moment, one is prosperous and the other is lost.
After the warm-up, head back to the home team's dressing room. Jose Mourinho began his most eloquent speech before the game.
"We trained for a week. For what? This is the moment! It's a very crucial game for us and if we can't win we will be eliminated, so we have to win. This is a game with no way back, victory is the only way out, let's share this game with the lovely fans outside! ”
He cast a meaningful look at Jonk.
Jonk held his head high. Clenched fists listening to the head coach.
'The opponents are strong and we are playing at home. They are not without flaws. It is said that Barcelona's attack is gorgeous, but everyone forgets that under the gorgeous appearance of the attack, Barcelona's defensive weakness is concealed, and Chelsea can knock on Barcelona's door and expose Barcelona's defensive shortcomings in front of the world's eyes and win. One thing I've observed is that the Espanyol team looks relaxed all over the team, it seems like they've already qualified before the game even starts, can we get them what they want? ”
"Can't!"
Jonker was the first to shout, and the entire locker room was filled with a strong fighting spirit, yes, no matter who it was, he didn't want to be underestimated by his opponent, what game was won before it started, who said it, Jonk was the first to come over and kick twice.
The other players are also equally angry, everyone can see it, as the manager said, when warming up, the Barcelona players look casual, talking and laughing, really like they have been promoted to watch the opponent's good show.
Mourinho is very satisfied with the state of the players at the moment, and he is also complacent, all with one mouth, it is not a good thing for Barcelona to relax before the game, turning bad things into good things, God knows if Barcelona players have such thoughts, but does it matter?
Rijkaard, on the other hand, is very serious about handing out the dangerous Chelsea players to his men.
Mourinho was right, Rijkaard had already said before the game that he thought the most dangerous player in the Chelsea squad, Arjen Robben!
Without playing today, in his opinion, Chelsea's attacking power has been weakened by at least 30 per cent.
What else can a toothless blue lion do, he also deliberately created an atmosphere before the game that promotion is within reach, and the biggest danger is no longer there.
Of course, the rest of the people, Rijkaard still has to say that the arrangement is clear.
'Frank Lampard is the team's number one star and the best centre-back in the Premier League. He has a big picture of the big picture, is accurate with long balls and is also adept at attacking forwards, while also forming Chelsea's first barrier. So the defense against him must be all-round, don't let him get chances easily, keep putting pressure on him, if there is a problem with the helmsman of the attack, there will be a problem with Chelsea's attack! ”
"Duff and Joe Cole are Chelsea's two great changers, but it should be noted that the style of the two is very different, Joe Cole likes to wander to the middle, while Duff is almost always on the wing, Duff is relatively easy to control, Joe Cole we have to cut off the connection between him and the strikers, so that the Chelsea backfield can only play long forwards, and cannot pass through the ground to cooperate with the play, so that our defensive pressure is much less, we have always done this, I don't need to say anything more!"
In Barcelona's system, only Ronaldinho does not need to participate in defense, and the rest of the players must press the opponent at the first time and consume the danger in the midfield as much as possible.
The Dutchman's fantastic and gorgeous all-attacking and all-defensive tactics have been further developed in Barcelona FC.
Cruyff is the architect of the Barça style today, where he also held the positions of head coach and technical director. He rebuilt the team and got rid of as many as 12 players, including Germany's Belland Berland. Bernd Schuster, who also spent $15 million to buy a new star.
Soon, he built another top European team with a distinct style, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup, the European Champions Cup, the Spanish Copa del Rey and four consecutive league titles (1991-1994), where they became known as the "Dream Team".
Many of the players in Rijkaard's Barcelona team were raised in the La Masia Academy with the same football philosophy and inherited the style of the Barcelona Dream Team.
Small, fast and smart, isn't it a sharp weapon against Chelsea's tall centre-back combination, and it is not surprising that why Barcelona will come to Stamford Bridge with such confidence.
As for Jonker, Rijkaard didn't even mention it, in the hearts of everyone at Barcelona, Chelsea's No. 25 is just a young man who has been boasted by the British media, what is the real situation, they don't care at all, Barcelona's style of play is like this, what kind of opponent they meet, they all play like that.
Besides, a young man whose performance is extremely unstable, there is no need to make any special arrangements for him.
Not arrogant, against Real Madrid, they too, the Catalans' team has their pride and persistence.
When the live radio rang out "Please welcome our great players—" cheers increased dramatically, and both players in the tunnel knew it was time to play.
Of course, the home team's announcer only introduces the home team's players.
So the cheers came and went, but they were all dedicated to the home players.
The Barcelona players walked beside the Chelsea players and did enough of the green leaves and supporting roles.
Jonk looked up at the packed stadium stands, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of blue.
His understanding of Barcelona is limited to a few game videos, is this a team with a lot of style, giants? Jonk doesn't care what to evaluate, the opponent is the opponent, and it has nothing to do with the giants or not, he already knows enough, as for the closer to studying the opponent...... That's the manager's job, he just has to score goals.
It doesn't matter who the opponent is, whether it's a nobody or a traditional giant, he just needs to score. (To be continued......)
