The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 624 Simple but not simple

Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that Ancelotti is a very stubborn person in his bones.

Perhaps it is because the Italians have always given people a feeling of following the trend, being very adaptable, and at the same time somewhat submissive, especially during the period of AC Milan, almost the entire transfer power of the team was controlled by the management In the hands of senior management, he does not have much say in this matter, and he rarely complains.

But after coming to Chelsea, Ancelotti insisted on his own opinions and ideas on many things.

For example, the team's 442 tactics, almost since Ancelotti came to the Premier League, he has been insisting on 442 tactics, and in his first season, Chelsea's diamond midfielder has indeed achieved very good results and achievements, but gradually, everyone began to realize the flaws of the diamond midfielder.

In other words, the diamond-shaped midfielder is no longer suitable for the current football tactics. If you play against a weak team and rely on your strength to crush your opponent, that’s fine, but once you meet a strong team and continue to stick to the diamond-shaped midfielder, then The gain outweighs the loss.

Ancelotti has made certain adjustments to the lineup this season. He no longer plays a diamond-shaped midfielder. Even at first glance, the 442 tactics seem to have changed. For example, in this game against Tottenham Hotspur, he will Arranged in front of the defense Lampard, Mikel and Essien three midfielders, and then in front of the combination of Asavin and Anelka, Drogba at the top.

At first glance, it looks like a 4321 Christmas tree formation, but in fact, in the game, Anelka was still cruising on the two sides, Arshavin was lying in ambush behind the two forwards, and the three midfielders behind him were Mick. Paul still delays in organizing and playing the ball, taking on responsibilities similar to Pirlo's during AC Milan.

If you think according to this routine, then Essien is Gattuso, and Lampard will take on the role of Seedorf.

Of course, the technical characteristics of different players are different, but in general it is basically the same, only the details have changed.

In the back line, Ashley Cole, Terry, Ivanovic and Ferreira formed the line of defense, and Cesar stood in front of the goal. This is Chelsea's main line of defense this season.

Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup for this game has also undergone some adjustments, and the adjustments are not small, because Fabregas and Marcelo are both injured and absent, making Tottenham Hotspur have to make some adjustments. Change.

Ye Qiu's selection of the starting lineup surprised many people. The goalkeeper is Petr Cech. There is no suspense, but the left back chose the Serbian central defender who performed well in the second half when he played against Birmingham in the last round. Stasic, this surprised a lot of people.

Let alone Marcelo is only slightly injured, even if Marcelo really can't play, but there is still Alba, why should Nastasic be played?Is Ye Qiu going to play defense in this game?
With Cesc Fabregas injured, Ye Qiu obviously changed the previous midfield pattern, pulling David Silva to the left midfielder position, standing in front of Nastasic, while Messi was was transferred to the front center position, Ribery was placed at the right winger position, and then Yaya Toure and Beckham formed a double midfielder, in which the Ivorian came forward and Beckham dragged back to form a set Very irregular midfield position.

In Ye Qiu's explanation and analysis, this is a variant of the 433 tactic, or it can also be regarded as a 4231 tactic, the only difference is that Tottenham Hotspur's left back is relatively deep, and the left back is relatively deep. There is basically no pressure on the road, and Alves on the right is relatively high.

I believe that when most people get Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup list, they will not lose to Ancelotti in shock, because in such an important game, Tottenham Hotspur was also arranged at the same time. It is indeed a bit too much for a young player like Stasic and a veteran player like Beckham to start at the same time.

"Maybe Ye Qiu will encounter his first Waterloo this season at Stamford Bridge!"

I believe that there are many people who have this idea, but what is surprising is that at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, and the way of scoring is very eye-catching .

Unsurprisingly Tottenham started the game with a right-sided attack, but it didn't work and Tottenham knocked back and Alves crossed Baker Ham, the Englishman appeared in the area around Arshavin and Anelka, and both players were only symbolically defending.

Beckham made a round moon scimitar, transferred a wide-range diagonal pass, came to the left, and fell to David Silva's feet.

After getting the ball, the Spaniard rushed forward quickly, obviously aiming at Ferreira, while Essien immediately leaned to the side, and Ferreira also turned his attention to David Silva's After all, the Spaniard made his debut as a left winger when he was in Valencia, and even put Vicente on the bench for a while.

The ball was transferred from the right to the left, David Silva advanced with his fast dribble, attracting the attention of Essien and Ferreira, while Messi in the middle left Mikel at high speed The defense zone, leaning to the left, obliquely inserts the gap between Ferreira and central defender Ivanovic, forcing Mikel to follow to the left.

When David Silva passed the ball to Messi's feet, the Argentine superstar who cut from the center to the wing suddenly accelerated, using his personal ability to directly attack Chelsea's defense, facing Iraq. Vanovic, a forced breakthrough, abruptly rushed behind Ivanovic.

While Messi cut outside, Cavani also pulled Terry to the front of the penalty area. Terry had no choice but to follow, otherwise, Messi made a cross and the card in the middle of the front of the penalty area Varney was left unguarded because Mikel had gone to the left.

Therefore, when Messi forcibly broke through Ivanovic on the left side of the penalty area and made a low pass, it happened to pass behind Terry, and it seemed to be aimed at Ashley Cole , but just when the England left-back thought he could clear the siege with a big kick, Ribéry slanted into the penalty area from the right rib at high speed, and grabbed a bucket before Ashley Cole.

The ball is in! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"Wow!!!!" The entire stands of the White Hart Lane Stadium suddenly boiled!

"Less than 2 minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Chelsea's goal, 1:0!"

"Too fast, Tottenham Hotspur's goal came too fast, Chelsea didn't even have time to organize the defense!"

Andy Gray was surprised that Tottenham scored in the second attack after the opening game, but when he watched the slow motion replay of the game, he suddenly realized that Tottenham Nam Tottenham's offense is actually still taking advantage of Chelsea's wing and single midfielder positioning problems.

No matter how strange Ye Qiu's formation was in this match, no matter how he adjusted it, it was still aimed at this goal.

Through David Silva's side pull, Essien was pulled to the area close to the left line to the maximum, leaving the midfield center empty, and the side of Alves and Ribery clearly To forcibly suppress Chelsea's strongest attacking left, forcing you Ashley? Cole dare not go up.

Having done this, Chelsea's offense lacked breadth and lost most of its threat.

At the same time, because Arshavin is not active enough in defense, Beckham will get more space in the backcourt, and Yaya Toure, Alves and Ribery's attacking lineup on the right is enough to suppress Lan Pade and Ashley? Cole, but also to occupy the numerical advantage, unless Ancelotti draws Anelka or Drogba back.

The superiority in numbers allows Beckham to get plenty of room in the defensive midfielder position. At the same time, his precise long pass scheduling ability enables Tottenham Hotspur to move to the left and right sides to the maximum extent, allowing Chelsea's Tactics are tossing back and forth, and this left and right movement itself is creating loopholes.

Messi hits the center but cuts outside. In fact, he wants to take advantage of this loophole, and then rely on his strong personal ability to attack these loopholes, and then disintegrate the opponent's defense. It seems that this time, he shifted from the center Go to the left, and then forcefully attack Ivanovic, use his personal ability to eat the opponent, disintegrate the defense, and then pass to Ribery to form an assist.

"Very smart, and very targeted, directly hitting the vital parts of Chelsea!" Andy Gray figured this out, and had to speak highly of Ye Qiu's bold change in this game, perhaps without Fabre He might not be willing to bet on Gass' absence, but Fabregas' absence and Marcelo's injury made Ye Qiu make this decision.

The right side suppresses your strongest left side, but my left side gives way. If you have the ability, let Ferreira or Essien attack it!
"The current situation is very unfavorable to Chelsea, it depends on how Ancelotti will adjust!"

Following Andy Gray's words, the live camera switched to Chelsea's head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian stood on the sidelines and kept directing the team. Not far from him, in front of the coach's bench, Ye Qiu folded his arms around his chest, looking like he was sure of winning.

"The weather in London is very cold today, Ancelotti is dressed very seriously, black suit, white shirt and black tie. Before the game, some media joked that Ancelotti is reloading this time, while Ye Qiu is casual. The suit is paired with a knitted sweater and a scarf wrapped around the neck, which won the affirmation of the reporters, thinking it is more casual and relaxed.”

Andy Gray was also joking about the two head coaches, "Nowadays, the scene of Ancelotti strangling Ye Qiu with a scarf did not appear as expected by many media close to Chelsea. Instead, Ye Qiu was relaxed and casual. Qiu, while talking and laughing, broke the goal of Ancelotti, who is facing a big enemy!"

"Actually, as early as in the press conference before the game, when Ye Qiu heard that Ancelotti was going to make changes, he once joked that unless Chelsea made huge changes, otherwise, subtle changes Doesn't make any sense, it's like rearranging the seats on the Titanic about to hit an iceberg, does it make sense?"

"Now it seems that Chelsea's core problem has not changed much, and the two wings are still weak!"

With Tottenham Hotspur taking the lead in knocking on Chelsea's goal, the Blues players have suffered setbacks in the past four games. The morale of the team has dropped a lot from the beginning of the season. The state of the few players is obviously not ideal, just like Drogba, Anelka, Asavin and Lampard. These four players have only scored one goal in the past four games. This is the same as the beginning of the season. In comparison, it is simply not the same.

The players are not in good condition, the head coach's lineup is not fresh, and the team's overall lineup is similar to last season. In this case, even if you Ancelotti can make Chelsea's lineup a flower , what can you change?
Therefore, with the goal, Tottenham Hotspur began to dominate the game and firmly controlled the initiative of the game, while Chelsea had to choose to shrink their defense and fight back.

Tottenham Hotspur's game strategy is indeed, as Andy Gray said, using the two wings to frequently pull Chelsea's lineup, forcing their players to move back and forth.

No. 307 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur, who had been attacking for half an hour, got another chance. After Alves pulled to the right line and received a long pass from Beckham, he encountered Ashley Cole's block , passed back to Yaya Toure.

The Ivorian rushed forward with the ball and passed it to Messi. The Argentine took the ball with his back and passed it to the left. David Silva threw Ferreira one-on-one from the left and then passed Passing behind Ivanovic, Cavani did not waste such an opportunity and made a close-range shot, 2:0!

Consecutive goals, almost the same routine, but completed by different players, this seriously hit the morale and morale of the Chelsea players, because they found that Tottenham seemed to pinch their seven inches And the Achilles heel, constantly attacking, forcing them to retreat steadily.

During the intermission, Chelsea did not make any substitution adjustments. Ancelotti currently has not many substitutions available in his hands, and he does not dare to use offensive players, so he can only choose to maintain the status quo and make partial adjustments.

But when the overall situation has been suppressed or even ravaged, adjustments to local details can no longer change anything.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur passed two consecutive attacks, respectively in No.604 minutes and No.709 minutes, Messi and Cavani scored goals for Tottenham Hotspur, and finally helped Tottenham Tottenham beat Chelsea 4-0 at home.

And if you watch the whole process of these goals carefully, you don't have to think about the details, just look at the routines. Almost all four goals are the same routines, that is, the right side with the strongest attack power. Suppress Chelsea's left, and then a sudden transfer, transfer the ball from the right to the left.

Then it was either David Silva cutting in from the side, or Messi cutting outside in the middle. In short, it was Ferreira who was unlucky. Explode Chelsea's right, pull out a central defender, and then pass the ball into the small penalty area to help his teammate who inserted behind him to score.

It is this simple but not simple offensive routine that has been repeated again and again throughout the game, but Ancelotti has nothing to do about it.

"Chelsea can't do anything to lose this game, but Tottenham Hotspur won it very easily!"

Andy Gray has very different feelings about this game, especially in the past few years, he has indeed experienced everything in Chelsea, from the sudden peak when Ye Qiu was in charge at the beginning of the century, to the rapid decline later , and the embarrassing situation this season, he has seen it all.

"Chelsea's problems have been clear from last season, they were doing well last season, but everyone knows that they need to make changes, they need to make adjustments, but there are many problems, for example Ancelotti looks It seems very stubborn, but few people imagine what high-level signings Abramovich has brought to Chelsea over the years?"

"Ashavin, Ramirez, these two players are not bad, but are there any more?"

"In the case of unfavorable signings, Chelsea directly sold many players in the team, such as Ballack, Belletti, Joe Cole, and basically all of them were free transfers. Of course, we are very clear that this It is a strategy for Chelsea to increase income and reduce expenditure, and maintain the club's finances, but the question is, how do you maintain the thickness of your bench if you sell so many?"

Although the game is not over yet, Chelsea has already been beaten to the ground. Not to mention the poor state of the whole game, there is also an extreme lack of fighting spirit. If Ancelotti does not come up with a better and more effective way, Chelsea is likely to be in the devil There was a crash during the race.

"I remember that both Ye Qiu and Ferguson once said that a team that wants to win the championship must ensure that its team not only has a high-level main lineup, but also must have enough reliable players. And the thickness of the bench of trust, and Chelsea under Ye Qiu and Mourinho, there are two reliable players to compete for every position."

"But now Chelsea has thrown off the burden of several veterans and high-paid players. The team's financial pressure has indeed eased, but without proper signings to strengthen the team's lineup and combat effectiveness, Chelsea is not even going to talk about it. After winning the championship, if they continue to play in the next league in November, I am afraid they will not even be able to keep the top four in the league!"

"You know, today's Premier League is different from the past. Liverpool has made a strong comeback this season. After two seasons of accumulation and precipitation, Manchester City has also ushered in a time of harvest. Under the leadership of the team, they have also shown their strength to qualify for the European Championship. Under the integration of Ranieri and the strengthening of the two seasons, West Ham United's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."

"In this case, when these upstarts rise strongly, the old strong teams will either continue to advance like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, or they will become a stepping stone for the upstarts to improve."

Andy Gray is obviously very disappointed with Chelsea. In this high-profile game, which was supposed to be a good show of self-strength and used as an opportunity to find a new direction, Chelsea got deeper and deeper. Lost myself.

It can be said that the 0:9 loss to Tottenham Hotspur made Arsenal completely lose the confidence of a strong team, as well as the confidence and fighting spirit of the top four in the league, then this 0:4 is Chelsea's loss A start for the league's future.
