Francis is a very realistic coach. ()

Francis has managed many clubs before taking charge of Birmingham.There are also strong teams, including teams like Tottenham.But the end result was to leave in despair.Because of his poor grades, those strong teams directly fired him.After experiencing all kinds of victories and failures, he is more realistic than anyone now, because at his age, he knows that people only recognize champions in football.

And Chelsea game, Francis has self-knowledge.

Birmingham's strength is not at the same level as Chelsea's.If you play against them, then Birmingham will definitely die without a burial.

Therefore, Francis has already set a strategy early.

The opening stage caught Chelsea by surprise.It's best if you can score a goal. If you can't score a goal, you can't continue to fight against Chelsea.He had already thought that the main thing in this game was to defend.

It would be best if it could be dragged to a penalty shootout.

Just luck.

Just scored a goal at the beginning.

So Francis is very happy to play defense.

He just wants to defend a ball.

Birmingham players are also completely desperate.

They defend with numbers, they have their players in their half.As long as Chelsea players have the ball, they will press frantically.Except for the first few Chelsea players, Williams and Lampard have average skills.

They are all very typical English midfielders.

Fortunately, Lampard and Williams have solid basic skills.Don't lose the ball as soon as you press.

But not hitting the ball is the biggest problem.

Hasselbaink and Eto'o couldn't catch the ball at all.Even if you get the ball, there are Birmingham players in front of you.And both Hasselbaink and Eto'o are speed players, what they need most is a wide sprint space.

Even if the space is not large, at least there should be a distance of several meters.

But Birmingham is now fully retreating, and there is no room for them to sprint.

The game froze there.

Chelsea kept the ball in midfield and couldn't get into the danger zone at all.

"Chelsea is really difficult. They are not good at attacking. Now Birmingham is retreating. It seems that Birmingham has no plan to counterattack at all. There is no one left in front. Look at the current possession rate, Chelsea's possession rate reached 70.00%[-]. This is the first time Chelsea have such a high possession rate this season."

Mortensen looked at the bewildered Chelsea players and shook his head.

"How to break through Birmingham's defense is believed to be the most troublesome thing for coach Su Yun now."

Su Yun really had a headache.

This kind of strong attack is indeed not Chelsea's strong point.Faced with this kind of defense, even if there are wide players.It's also hard to get into the restricted area.What's more, Chelsea still has some problems on the wing.

How to break the goal of Birmingham.

Chelsea fans are even more anxious on it.

Seeing Birmingham defending there with full strength, the Chelsea fans were really furious.

"Don't be a turtle! Come out if you have the ability!"

"Come out, shrinking turtle!"

Chelsea fans are constantly scolding Birmingham fans for "shrinking their heads".

The Birmingham fans immediately fired back.

"we are the champion!"

"Go eat shit!"

Birmingham fans don't care about that.As long as it can win.As long as they can win a championship, they are already very satisfied.

That's why they don't care how ugly the game is on the field.

They like the current situation.

Because Chelsea didn't have any threats to shoot at all.It was all passed around in the midfield, and finally the mistake was stopped by the Birmingham players.Of course, Birmingham's offense was immediately cut off by Chelsea, and then the process was repeated again.

This is the situation on the court now.

Chelsea players are a little overwhelmed.

Because the ball can't go in anyway.

Facing the opponent's intensive defense.Chelsea really can't help it.In the end, Desailly was left alone in Chelsea's backcourt, and Terry sometimes rushed to the frontcourt.And Sorin and Panucci are attacking on the wing.

Unfortunately, there are more and more people.

But Birmingham's half is getting more and more crowded.

Too many people.

Passing the ball has never been easier.

The game just passed by like this.Su Yun found out on the field.Francis is really going to carry this obscenity to the end.

It can't go on like this.

The players have worked very hard.

In the frontcourt, Hasselbaink, Eto'o and even Zola kept running.I just hope to run out of space, but Birmingham has too many players.

They put a big wall directly in front of Chelsea.

Layer after layer.

very thick.

After one and another.

This is how Birmingham's defense is now.

Time passed by every minute and every second.Before you knew it, the first half was almost over, and Chelsea had a lot of shots.It has reached nearly [-] times, but unfortunately only hit the target [-] times.And none of these doors is a threatening door.

Because the ball really can't go in.So it can only be a hasty kick on the periphery.

Lampard and Williams didn't have enough space, or the Birmingham players simply didn't give them a calm shot.So their doors are rushed.

Although they are all long-distance shooting masters, it definitely does not mean that they can succeed as long as they shoot.

And Birmingham has no shots at all.

Except for Andrew Johnson's goal in the opening game, there were no goals in the game.

But now it is Birmingham who lead Chelsea [-]-[-].

"Dududu-"

A boring battle is finally over.

Chelsea players are all a little listless.Before the game, everyone was full of confidence, thinking that Birmingham was just a piece of cake.But now they can't break Birmingham's goal.

At this time, Su Yun had already left the court and entered the locker room.

…………

The atmosphere in the locker room was tense.

Chelsea players are downcast one by one.

Su Yun looked around at these players, and then laughed. "Why are you scared?"

Hearing Su Yun's laughter, the player raised his head.

"It's just Birmingham. Are you still afraid of them? Look at your current morality, everyone is downcast. It's just one goal behind." Su Yun shook his head indifferently. "Look at you. I'm blushing. How can I have players like you. Is the game over?"

Su Yun was amiable.Doesn't mean you won't be angry.

Su Yun hated the players getting discouraged like this at halftime.

"If people know that my players have been treated so badly by a League One team like Birmingham, how can I go out to meet people. When you go out in the future, don't say that you are Chelsea players, let alone my players. Birmingham has What? Isn’t it just using the number of people to defend? There is nothing you can do about it.”

Su Yun first criticized the Chelsea players.

Then he smiled and continued: "I see a lot of loopholes in Birmingham. So I am here as a coach, but you are my players."

Hearing Su Yun's words, even Clark next to him looked at Su Yun.

The way Birmingham defended.There is no coach in the world who dares to say that his team can break through.Chelsea is not good at breaking the goal of this kind of team, Su Yun has a solution?

Players are also accidents.

In their view Birmingham is a complete rogue play.

Who can break through this defense.

Su Yun waited until everyone's attention came to him.Only then slowly said: "Birmingham's desperate play is a waste of energy. And more importantly, they need to concentrate mentally. This is also a great mental pressure on them."

"They're not going to have that level of concentration for nine or 10 minutes. So you guys have to be patient. They're going to have holes in the second half."

"Look here."

Su Yun began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Birmingham League One team only.Their current defense is completely childish in terms of defensive system.Still able to maintain the lead so far.It's all because their players make up for the holes in their defense with unscrupulous running.

Physical strength will definitely be an issue.

This is the only loophole that Su Yun can grasp.Moreover, Su Yun had to give up the style of constantly controlling in the midfield in the first half.

Because holding the ball in midfield is not Chelsea's style at all.

Chelsea also don't have that slow possession of the midfield.But a player who can deliver a fatal blow inadvertently.

It's just a waste of everyone's energy and energy.

…………

"From the perspective of the first half, Chelsea have no way to deal with Birmingham's defense. How will Su Yun change the current unfavorable situation?"

Mortensen voiced his own question mark?

Not just Mortensen, but all Chelsea fans.

How will Su Yun adjust.

In fact, there is not much room for change in Chelsea now.Especially in the face of Birmingham's defense, there is no other way.

Su Yun's approach is always very simple.

Su Yun pushed Williams to the front again and began to use him as a center forward.

Su Yun was about to speed up the pace.Move Birmingham players with quick passes.As long as the second half speeds up by [-] minutes, Su Yun will not believe that there is no problem with the physical strength of the Birmingham players.As long as one of them has a physical problem, there will be loopholes in the defense.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea did not score immediately.

Still the same as the first half.

It was completely attacking around the Birmingham goal.The only difference is that there are more direct passes.Williams serves as a bridgehead in the future, constantly fighting for headers.

"The second half was exactly the same as the first half. However, Chelsea still got the upper hand and failed to score. They didn't find a way to break through Birmingham's goal at all. If this continues, Chelsea is probably the most aggrieved runner-up in the history of the League Cup."

"Chelsea needs a hero now. A hero stands up to save the team. The hearts of Chelsea fans must be calling for a hero!"

"Who will be Chelsea's hero?" (To be continued...)
