Chapter 787
"...In this game, Manchester United, who were playing at home, adopted an aggressive offensive tactic. From the very beginning of the game, they continued to attack Chelsea's goal. Chelsea, on the other hand, chose to counterattack in a targeted manner. defending, and then trying to counterattack... For Chelsea, this is basically the norm. Other teams will stop a bus in front of their goal when they have to, but Mourinho's team is Put a bus in front of your own goal anytime."

When commentator John Mortensen said this, the game had already gone on for 25 minutes and the score was still 0:0.Generally speaking, Manchester United had the upper hand and had many offensive opportunities, but they failed to break Chelsea's goal.

Chelsea's defense is already very good, they are famous in the Premier League for their good defense.The arrival of Mourinho has allowed Chelsea to achieve the ultimate in defense, and it has truly integrated defense into the blood of the players.

The iron-like defense, coupled with Shevchenko, a forward who has a speed advantage, is even more powerful when playing defensive counterattacks.

However, although Shevchenko is fast and has good dribbling skills, he seemed a little unacceptable after coming to Chelsea. He has been unable to play well in the Premier League for a long time, and only scored two goals in the Premier League in the new season.

This put Shevchenko under tremendous pressure from public opinion. After all, he was poached from AC Milan at Chelsea's sky-high price of 3500 million pounds.

Abramovich paid a sky-high price to bring Shevchenko to Stamford Bridge, not only to take care of the little fellow, but also to recognize the other party's outstanding performance in AC Milan, thinking that this Ukrainian nuclear warhead can help Chelsea and bring Chelsea's offense. to improve.

At present, with the support of Abramovich, although Mourinho does not like Shevchenko very much, he has to give Shevchenko repeated opportunities.But if this continues for a long time, I am afraid that Abramovich will gradually lose patience.

………………

Chelsea is on the defensive and has few opportunities to attack, so it is normal not to score.Manchester United has been attacking, with many offensive opportunities, but failed to score. This has something to do with the performance of their core player Yin Jun.

"...Lu Yinjun tried more long-range shots from outside the penalty area today, but his shooting sights are not very good..." Huang Jianqiang said worriedly, "But there is no way, even when he is shooting from long distances, he There will also be Chelsea players close to interfere with the defense. In this intensity of physical confrontation, it is really not easy for him to shoot on target..."

As a Chinese commentator, it is natural to always stand by your player's side. Once he does not perform well, you have to find excuses for him, so that you can be regarded as a qualified Chinese commentator.

He doesn't need to criticize Yin Jun, because Yin Jun's performance in the past is good enough, and these good performances make him now have the gold medal for avoiding death.

It is definitely a very hypocritical thing to talk about objectivity and neutrality at this time, and it can even be said to be Shabi.

He Wei also found reasons for Yin Jun's frequent long-range shots outside the penalty area: "In this game, Chelsea, which used defensive counterattacks, strengthened their defense in the penalty area. Most of the time, their players shrunk very deep. It was crowded with people and there was almost no room for movement, so it is normal for Yin Jun to shoot long shots..."

………………

Shevchenko set his sights on Yin Jun, and felt a little proud in his heart-he guessed it right, and Yin Jun's long-range shots in this game increased significantly.Because he reminded his teammates, Chelsea is now well prepared to defend Yin Jun with no temper at all, and his long shot never hits the goal frame!

Seeing Yin Jun who was annoyed that he shot another kick just now, and holding his head in his hands, Shevchenko smiled in his heart.He felt that the bad breath of being eliminated by Yin Jun in the quarter-finals of last year's Champions League was finally released a little.

Goalkeeper Cudicini standing in front of Chelsea's goal looked back at the goal. The ball boy had already thrown the football into the field for the first time, but he ignored it and turned his gaze to Yin Jun. He was a little puzzled .

He has not played against Yin Jun once or twice. In my impression, Yin Jun's long-range shots should not be at this level, but since the start of the game, Yin Jun has already made three long-range shots, but look at what he shot. ...

Three long-range shots, none of which were within the range of the door frame, and the shot just now was ridiculously high.

In the first two long-range shots, he managed to make a saving move. Although he missed it, as a goalkeeper, this is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Yin Jun's long-range shots.

For the third kick, he didn't even have the interest to raise his hand in greeting, he just turned his head and watched the football fly to the rear stands.

Is it because his teammates defended him too well, or because he was not in shape today, which led to his performance falling off the standard?
Cudicini shook his head, picked up the ball that rolled to his feet, and was about to kick off the goal kick-if he didn't kick off, the referee would think he was deliberately delaying the time, and there were already sporadic boos in the stands.

………………

"This is not Yin's normal level." In front of Manchester United's coaching bench, assistant coach Queiroz shook his head, "Even if someone defends closely when he shoots, it won't be like this..."

Ferguson knew Yin Jun very well, and he said very calmly: "He probably hopes to take this opportunity to confuse the opponent, making the opponent think that his state today is quite average. In this game, Chelsea strengthened their defense in the penalty area. How much space is left for Yin to move in the penalty area, just as his long-range shots can come in handy. But now, Mourinho should have made arrangements for Yin Jun's long-range shots. Chelsea players They are obviously focusing on defending Yin Jun's long shot... I hope his performance can make Chelsea's defenders relax their vigilance..."

As he said this, he cast a glance at Chelsea's manager, the Portuguese Jose Mourinho.Mourinho stood on the sidelines watching the game expressionlessly, and there was no emotion on his face for the current situation.

It's normal, the game has only started in less than 10 minutes, no one can tell what will happen next.

In fact, Mourinho is feeling relieved for his players in his heart-they have really faithfully implemented their own tactical arrangements, and even worse.He did more than he asked for.He asked them to focus on marking Yin Jun before the game. Just look at their performance in the game. Even when Yin Jun went to shoot a long shot from outside the penalty area, they didn't let it go easily... just keep playing like this, when Chelsea used tight defense When Manchester United's offense fails again and again, they will definitely become more and more impatient. At that time, it is time for Chelsea to counterattack.

Just be patient now!
