Starting with Milan as a central defender

Chapter 265 Qin Yun: I’m no longer a human being
Chelsea's right corner kick, Hazard drove towards the penalty spot
Although Diego Costa grabbed a bit, due to Qin Yun's interference, the football failed to hit the goal frame at all.

Minho opened the ball.

After nearly three and ten minutes of high-intensity competition, the players' physical fitness declined rapidly.

Even if you put together a team of all the physical monsters in football, you can't maintain a high press for 90 minutes.

Liverpool's three-centre-back system, due to the numerical advantage in the midfield and backfield, can maximize the use of the width of the pitch to break the high press.

Therefore, Chelsea is not prepared to waste their efforts and occupy the midfield honestly, blocking the most critical advancement route.

Then take this opportunity to rest and prepare to wait for the opponent to make a move first, and then you can use it again.

And this is Stamford Bridge, they have enough confidence to equalize or even overtake.

Just falling behind by one goal could not affect their mentality.

On the other hand, Liverpool kept harassing the left area.

But I just dabbled and didn't go in.

Fabregas is so annoying!

He is positioned as an organizer in the team.

But the offense pushed him over, and he had to follow up on defense.

As a result, as soon as our defense line was organized, the opponent passed the ball back, and after a while the battle started again.

have to say
Rogers' tactics were very targeted. He caught Fabregas and beat him up. As long as this back-driver is eliminated, Chelsea's offense will not be able to take off.

As a result, the situation on the field became stalemate, and neither side was able to create very good opportunities.

"Liverpool played smart!"

"They continued to look for opportunities at the junction of Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas and launched 7 more threatening attacks in this area."

"Keep Cesc Fabregas busy and pave the way for the rest of the game!"

"And without really attacking in, to prevent losing the ball and being counterattacked."

"This game is not only a contest between the top players, but also a contest between the coaches of the two teams. Based on the current situation, Liverpool is undoubtedly the one with the upper hand."

"The principle of attacking with troops and planning has been perfectly explained in this game."

As time goes by.

Mourinho fell silent and made no further adjustments.

The current situation is also what he wants
Although he is a firm believer in the 1:0 doctrine, he also has to admit that this score is very dangerous and will be equalized if he is not careful.

Diego Costa is bored.

He wanted to press in the frontcourt, but one person had no effect at all and could only be played by the monkey in a funny way.

So he stood next to Qin Yun, acting as a defender and locking up Liverpool's most important ball release point.

But now Liverpool has more than one person who can deliver the ball.

Van Dijk, Gerrard, Henderson
Liverpool's midfielders and backfield players basically have good passing skills and can shoulder the burden at critical moments.

Near the end of the first half.

Matic caught Joe Allen's mistake and intercepted the football halfway.

He wanted to counterattack with the ball
Suddenly remembering that his main responsibility is to defend, he still chooses to pass the ball to Cesc Fabregas who is receiving from the side.

The latter received the ball and advanced quickly.

I thought it would be a hearty counterattack.

But Fabregas only moved forward a few meters before he was intercepted by Coutinho and Joe Allen, and the football flew out of the sideline during the scramble.

No idea!

Fabregas had a complicated expression on his face. He had been distracted by defense and was unable to perform at his usual level.

finally.

Beep-beep!

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half!

"The score on the field remains at 1-0, with Liverpool temporarily taking the lead."

"But I believe Mourinho will make key adjustments at halftime."

"But Rogers will definitely have corresponding countermeasures. Whoever can win the next confrontation will be not far from victory."

"I'm already looking forward to the second half."

Qin Yun shook his head and followed his teammates towards the players' tunnel.

He wasn't too tired today.

Because Chelsea's offense is very monotonous and does not frequently attack the defense, he naturally does not need to run a lot.

However, he understood that the turning point of today's game was in the second half, when William came on the field.

How should I respond?

His mind gradually became empty and he began to think about defensive tactics.

Chelsea players gathered together to discuss the first half.

Liverpool dressing room.

"You have worked hard these 45 minutes, but you have fully met the tactical requirements set before the game. Not only did you take the lead, but you also maintained the advantage until the halftime break."

"But I hope you don't let your guard down because of this. You must know that your opponent is Chelsea. They are undefeated in the first 10 league games and are only two points behind us."

"Any small mistake may cause irreparable consequences."

"Similarly, don't doubt your ability. The fact that we can win 10 consecutive games proves that we are better than them."

Rogers had a big smile on his face and clapped softly.

"Then let's talk about tactical adjustments."

"Due to the presence of Ramirez, Sterling was almost locked up. After the first half of the game, I have no doubt that Mourinho will strengthen the offensive and defensive intensity on the right to restrain our sharpest wing."

"But it doesn't matter. We have to learn to avoid the opponent's stronger parts in advance and transfer some of the offensive responsibilities to the right wing."

"Coutinho, your position should be more inside to avoid direct confrontation with Chelsea's left back."

"Qin, what do you have to say on defense?"

Rogers asked.

"In the first half of the game, Chelsea rarely let two full-backs advance, but I think they will focus on the left wing in order to increase the intensity of the attack."

"Before the opponent sends the pass, all four of our defensive line need to come to the left to resist the movement of Diego Costa and Hazard towards this side."

"We need you, captain, to fill the defensive zone in the middle, because the rest of our players are not strong enough in confrontation and will suffer in the one-on-one battle with Azpilicueta."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment and explained the defensive adjustments in detail.

Chelsea dressing room.

Mourinho has a bad temper and shows no mercy to anyone. He often causes conflicts in the locker room because of his excessive speech.

I once scolded Salah for crying
"It doesn't matter who you are, what's important is that you all cheer me up and don't be lazy when playing football."

"The goal in the first half was completely avoidable. The full-back came out early and blocked the interception in the attacking third."

Azpilicueta touched his nose when he heard this. He wanted to say that there was Coutinho over there, and if he pushed out, the wing would be empty.

But he didn't dare to refute
"At the beginning of the second half, everyone came forward and started pressing here."

"Courtois, your position needs to move forward to serve as a temporary ball release point and receiving point, and at the same time guard against the opponent's counterattack."

Mourinho tapped the tactical board hard and drew a circle on it.

"Okay, boss."

the Chelsea players said in unison.

However, several of them looked dissatisfied and didn't know what they were thinking.

Since the recent female team doctor incident, instability in the Chelsea dressing room has begun to take shape.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Chelsea's goalkeeper was sent off with a red card, and then Hazard was injured.

Chelsea's chief team doctor at the time was a woman named Eva, and he judged that Hazard needed to be dismissed.

But Mourinho did not agree with her decision. He believed that Hazard had only a minor injury and could continue to play.

Later, during a team meeting, he made a controversial speech to the female team doctor.

"We have too many women working at this club. But it is clear that they are not cut out for football, especially when it comes to high-intensity games."

If we follow the original trajectory, someone will stab us in the back.

15 minutes passed quickly.

When players from both sides returned to the green, Stamford Bridge resumed its bustle.With the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game officially started.

Liverpool possession.

Joe Allen hit Sterling with the kick.

The latter passed the ball back.

Followed by.

Chelsea players were like crazy beasts, roaring and rushing forward, as if they wanted to devour their opponents.

"Chelsea's pressing is very intense!"

"Obviously, we need to get the start and catch our opponents off guard!"

"Is Liverpool's formation still moving forward?"

"Shouldn't they sit back, wait for Chelsea to press forward, and then exploit the space behind them?"

"If they are tackled in a dangerous area, Chelsea can launch a counterattack on the spot and create a fatal threat!"

"Dangerous!"

Qin Yun seemed to be still and positioned himself at the end of the formation.

The movements of Chelsea players formed a tight net that enveloped the entire midfield and backfield.

Where is the space?
The football field is an ever-changing geometric shape composed of 22 points, which is the most original football.

It contains countless variations, and passing is the basic definition of these variations.

He has never stepped into this palace.
But after browsing countless game videos, immersed in thinking about tactics every day, and playing against top players.

He finally took the most important step forward.

That's the nature of football.
Are there any gaps in Chelsea's formation?
Have.

Just like Cesc Fabregas's precise through ball in the first half.
However, if the formation only moves vertically, it is easier to maintain integrity than moving horizontally.

That fleeting opportunity is also more difficult to grasp.

Qin Yun raised his right foot.

A smooth golden avenue seemed to appear in the field of vision.

Snapped!
Football is like a sharp knife.

The snow-white blade reflects the lights falling from the sky, making Stamford Bridge look like a gorgeous palace.

On the green field, an agile swimming dragon seemed to emerge.

It emerges from a weak spot in that tight net.

"what?"

"A very penetrating through ball, which made Chelsea's high press disappear!"

"Liverpool attack!"

side of the field.

Rogers clutched his heart.

He was already prepared to lose the ball and defend tightly in his own half, but the accident came too suddenly.

In fact, Liverpool's lineup is not suitable for defense.

Because the frontcourt is basically full of small and fast players, they cannot provide too many defensive resources. Instead, they frequently fall into the dilemma of failed confrontations.

simply put.
It’s just not strong enough!

But they are very suitable for attacking, especially when facing tall players in Chelsea's backcourt, they can maximize their flexibility to create scoring opportunities.

The other side.

Mourinho opened his mouth.

His firm tactical philosophy kept shaking like a weak willow
Defensive counterattack
What is its process?
First, focus on attacking the empty space on both sides behind the opponent.

Second, speed up the transition between offense and defense.

Third, use horizontal and vertical methods to create a layered counterattack.

But what did Qin Yun do?
He did not obey the laws, but found the needle in the endless sea in the ever-changing space.

And he also used a perfect pass to send the football out.

Able to complete the above operations in the blink of an eye.

Humans can't do it!
Diego Costa, Ramirez and Cesc Fabregas.

They watched in despair as the football rolled past them.

Even if I stretch my legs with all my strength, it is still out of reach.

Their hearts were shrouded in fear.
The passing route chosen by Qin Yun was very tricky, with the main attack direction being the right rib.

Due to Cesc Fabregas' excessive forward pressure, Chelsea's midfielder was positioned front and back, so Matic's position inevitably moved closer to the center.
And this is the most deadly space.

Rogers made a theoretical prediction, and Qin Yun completed the practical operation.

The cooperation between the two is simply perfect!
Joe Allen dropped back to respond.

Matic's eyes were red and he rushed forward frantically.

How many people are there in Liverpool's frontcourt?
Seven!

Chelsea, on the other hand, had only five players left in the backcourt in order to press high up the pitch.

Originally, the defensive side was naturally at a disadvantage, but now it faced the situation of having fewer people and more people.

how to kick
So he must limit football to this area.

Just delay for a little while and wait for your teammates to catch up.
He silently comforted himself in his heart.

But Joe Allen didn't give him a chance.

The reason why he is placed in the middle is because of his ability not to lose the ball in a pressing situation, and he also has an accurate short pass.

Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out.

Matic found that Joe Allen quickly inserted behind his own center back after passing the ball, and quickly turned around to follow up.

But he couldn't keep up.
Coutinho receives from the right.

He remembered the coach's instructions and rushed forward with the ball.

Terry occupied the center and looked Coutinho in the eyes to apply pressure.

But Coutinho is not timid at all. He often contacts Qin Yun one-on-one on weekdays and has already developed immunity.

His rhythm suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

When Emre Can and Moreno lined up, Gerrard and Henderson occupied the offensive third area, and Sterling inserted into the penalty area.

Chelsea's defenders were overwhelmed.

Azpilicueta has to guard against Emre Can, and Ivanovic has to guard against Moreno.

Coutinho's intentions are clear.

When you come up, I'll pass the ball.

If you don’t come up, I’ll shoot.

How to choose between Terry and Cahill?
You can only focus on your head and not your buttocks.
Coutinho acted decisively.

He is the core of Liverpool's frontcourt!
Snapped!
The football speeds to the right side of the penalty area.

Sterling shot directly without stopping the ball.

boom!
Masturbate half a meter in front of the door?
Difficulty is high!

No matter how quick Courtois reacts, he can't stop the explosive shot in the face.

Stamford Bridge fell silent again as the football smashed into the goal.

0:2! ! !

"Pretty!"

"The goal is scored!"

"Before Qin Yun's fatal through ball, Chelsea's defense was as fragile as tofu!"

"A fantastic attack!"

"Only 50 seconds passed in the second half, and the score was changed again!"
