After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 91

After the opening, Milan continued to implement their high pressing tactics.

The reason for this is simple. Chelsea has five midfielders, obviously to compete with Milan for control of the midfield and create space.

And there are only three serious midfielders in Milan.

Although they are all strong men, they can do their best whether it is running coverage, pressing, oppression, or confrontation, but after all, the opponent has a large number of people, and if the striker does not help, it will still be a bit difficult.

So after the game started, whether it was Ibrahimovic, Salah or Mane, they all started running and fighting actively.

If the entire midfield is forced up, Chelsea's midfield performance can be confined to the greatest extent, and the passing space of Chelsea players can be compressed.

When switching from defense to offense, Milan's two wingers will separate to the two wings, and together with the two full-backs, they will violently attack Chelsea's wing.In the middle, now it's more Kante who initiates the attack.

As a result, Chelsea is a little uncomfortable.

Their midfield control has declined a bit this season, otherwise they would not have thought of making up for it by increasing the number of midfielders.

In the face of AC Milan's ferocious frontcourt pressing and sudden wing fast break, Chelsea was a little out of breath.

Especially the connection between Lampard, Essien, and Mikel in the middle is now cut to pieces, it doesn't feel like a whole at all, and there are frequent mistakes in passing and controlling the ball.

Especially Essien, although it is said that his pass organization ability is not as good as that of technical players like Messi and Kaka, but after all, it has been developed in the past two years, and he has also used it in various games. Looks good.

But in this competition, "African Joey Yung" can only act like a reckless man, bumping into walls everywhere.

Chelsea interim coach Di Matteo on the sidelines also frowned.

This former Italian midfielder with the same hairstyle as Zidane is actually not a top figure in the coaching world.

Before entering Chelsea as an assistant coach, he also coached West Bromwich Albion in the British Championship and led the team back to the Premier League.

But after a poor record of 18 games and 13 losses in the Premier League, Di Matteo was forced to resign.

After Boas was dismissed this season, Di Matteo came to lead Chelsea to move forward, but obviously he did not immediately gain the trust of the top management and did not immediately become the official head coach.

In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, Di Matteo became a full-time player after Chelsea unexpectedly won the FA Cup and the Champions League this season.

But he couldn't stay in the position for a few months, and was eventually fired again.

Then in the next few years, he went to Schalke 04 and Aston Villa, all of which were terminated because of the garbage record, and then faded out of the coaching career, and no longer served as the head coach of any team.

This in itself shows that Di Matteo's coaching level is actually limited.

His success as Chelsea's interim coach this year is mainly due to his status as a famous Chelsea star, coupled with his very friendly style, which has allowed the team's veterans such as Drogba to regain their glory and made the dressing room atmosphere harmonious.

After reviving morale in this way, Chelsea has the kind of tenacity that is not afraid of difficulties and falling behind, and has become a formidable enemy.

But after this anger passes, the game will always return to the technical and tactical level.

And now, Di Matteo is facing the tactical questions Milan throws ahead of time:
Known: Now that Chelsea's space is blocked, it is difficult to play penetration in the middle.

Solution: How should Chelsea break the game?

Di Matteo quickly wrote on the test paper with a pen:

Answer: Play Drogba at this point.

This is the optimal solution for Chelsea when they cannot open the situation, and it is also a trump card among the few tactical configurations in Di Matteo's mind.

Give the ball to Drogba, use Drogba's high center forward advantage to create opportunities in the frontcourt, and forcibly tear apart the opponent's defense!
but……

Not a few minutes after Di Matteo handed in the paper, "Teacher Pan Yi"'s graded paper came down:

50 points.failed.

On the field, AC Milan's two central defenders have been staring at Drogba.

Especially the tall and tall Van Dijk.

Although Drogba is a beast, he is 33 years old after all.

And Van Dijk is also a physical beast. He is less than 21 years old this year, and his strength and strength are at their peak.

Under the ups and downs, the confrontation between Van Dijk and Drogba did not lose the wind.

In addition, there is an experienced and accurate Thiago Silva assisting the defense from time to time, which makes Drogba feel uncomfortable all over.

Chelsea took the ball from the wing, and the landing point was often grabbed by Milan's double central defenders;

Even if Drogba grabs the first spot, it is difficult to have a comfortable attacking posture, and it is difficult to exert force, so naturally he cannot pose a threat.

Chelsea gave the ball to Drogba and let Warcraft break through with the ball, but Van Dijk dared to compete with him for speed, and Drogba couldn't take advantage of it at all;
Drogba took the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area and wanted to turn around and shoot. Van Dijk was stuck behind him like a plaster, making it impossible for Drogba to turn his body around, and of course he couldn't shoot...

After so many rounds, the young Van Dijk's physical fitness is not enough, but Drogba is a bit overwhelmed.

Di Matteo, who was on the sidelines, found sadly that the "teacher" seemed to have given him a high score on the test paper.

How is this 50 points, it is simply 0 points!
Didier Drogba, the omnipotent answer in the past, was marked with a big cross in today's test paper!
……

The fighting on the field has reached about 30 minutes.

Milan's high-pressure pressing continued.

Lampard handed the ball to Essien, and Gattuso immediately pushed up.

In a hurry, Essien could only transfer the ball to Ramirez on the wing.

But the power given by the ball is too small.

Kanter sprang out from behind Ramirez and intercepted the ball first.

Kante moved forward with the ball, and at this time Milan's two sides began to follow quickly.

Chelsea's two wingers, especially Mata and Ramirez, also rushed back to defend, helping their full-backs to prevent the emergence of empty wings.

But Kanter did not pass the ball, but continued to move forward.

Chelsea's central defender, Captain Terry, hurried up to intercept.

At this time, Kanter has already seen Ibrahimovic cruising between Terry and Cahill.

At the same time as Terry went up to grab, Ibrahimovic made a counter-run, leaving Cahill's defense aside.

Kanter's ball was also sent forward at this time, and it happened to be at Ibrahimovic's feet!

After Ibrahimovic took the ball, he only took a small step forward, and then shot straight away!

At this time, he was less than ten meters away from Chelsea's goal, and his shooting speed was extremely fast, and the angle was also very tricky. The ball almost brushed the post and entered the net.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech just subconsciously reached out to block it, but he couldn't stop the goal at all.

"The ball is in!"

"It's Ibrahimovic again, and Da Fengxian again!"

"This pass and one shot, the coordination is really wonderful. Before the two Chelsea central defenders realized what happened, the ball had already entered the net."

"Milan's high-pressing tactics have paid off again, and Chelsea seem to have nothing to do about it!"

Stamford Bridge suddenly fell silent.

There was only a small piece of the away team's fans stand, and the Milan fans came to cheers.

Ibrahimovic also ran all the way to the Milan fans stand at this time, slipped and knelt under the fans stand.

If Henry and Drogba are the top two players in the kneeling competition, then Ibrahimovic can at least be ranked third!
