The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 788 Unfair

"Is his sight blocked by his handsome hair?"

This is Sky TV's special guest commentator, England football star Waddle, watching Tottenham Hotspur's game against Chelsea at Stratford Stadium, saw Messi break David Luiz's foot ball, Then with a straight kick, Miao passed into the penalty area, assisting Franck Ribery past Chelsea captain Terry, and exclaimed when he volleyed and scored.

Fluffy, this is a lot of people's nickname for David Lewis, because he always has a messy afro.

But if you look at his data in this game, especially the shocking 78% pass success rate, and the previous half-hour without a single successful interception, steal and clearance data, I wonder if they still have Do you think this Brazilian central defender is a handsome young man?

Perhaps, at this time, they will feel that this is a disaster star, a disaster star that will harm the team at a critical moment!

"I don't know what Mourinho plans to do in this game, but there is no doubt that arranging David Luiz to play and playing a key midfielder position must be his biggest failure!" Waddle made no secret My own criticism of Mourinho.

So, what is Mourinho doing at this time?

The ideal is sexy, but the reality is skinny!
Mourinho is standing in front of the visiting coach's bench at Stratford Stadium at this moment, feeling this sentence with emotion.

At one point, he told people that the biggest problem with Villas-Boas coaching Chelsea was that he left early, and he should wait until Chelsea's metabolism was almost exhausted before he left, which would make it easier for the new head coach to reorganize the team.

But when things fell on him, he found that he had to bite the bullet and stand up.

The Chelsea he took over was not a very competitive team. At first glance, it seemed that there were a lot of talents, but in fact there were not many players who could really make a difference. Oscar, who was brought in with a lot of money, was more promising. Others The players are basically inconsistent with Mourinho's team formation strategy.

For example, the defense, Ashley Cole and Terry were both Mourinho's favorites when he coached Chelsea, but they were in their golden years at that time, but now they are old.

Lampard and Ramirez sit in the midfield. On the surface, they are very good, but in fact, they do not have the kind of mobile coverage that Mourinho wants, and they can guarantee positioning when the opponent is attacking. .

When he took over the coaching position of Chelsea, Mourinho set out his own requirements, a strong center forward, a defensive midfielder, and an excellent left back, two of these three players In Tottenham Hotspur, one is Cavani, but was sent to Real Madrid by Tottenham Hotspur, and the other is Luke Shaw, a native England teenager who cannot be dug.

A stay-at-home midfielder is also what Mourinho wants. Originally, he was looking at Southampton's Matic. The Serbian midfielder can hold the position, has a defensive height, and can hold the ball and get the ball. This near-perfect modern midfielder is very much in line with Mourinho's requirements for the team's midfielder, but the biggest problem is that Ye Qiu set his sights on this gem a year earlier than him and sent him from Benfica. to Southampton.

In the end, Matic switched to Tottenham Hotspur, he did not consider Chelsea at all.

The blow brought by Matic is huge, coupled with the unfavorable operation of the transfer market, many of Mourinho's ideas have not been confirmed, and even far from meeting his requirements.

In recent years, there has been an obvious trend in football tactics, that is, high-intensity oppression and pressing, which are the basis of almost all strong teams, and once high-intensity oppression tactics are adopted, the frontcourt must press up.

If there is a young defense line with excellent mobility behind it, then there is no problem. After the frontcourt presses up, the back line also presses up, but the problem is that Chelsea's defense line Terry, Ashley Cole, Ivan Norwich and Gary Cahill, this combination can't hit the top at all, and can only adopt retraction tactics.

But the result of the retraction tactics is that you can only play defensive counterattacks, and you cannot exert enough pressure in the frontcourt, especially in some strong-strong dialogues, because strong teams are better at taking advantage of Chelsea's weakness than weak teams.

For Mourinho, he has many solutions, such as adjusting the team's defense line, but this requires reorganization, and the introduction of a defensive midfielder with excellent coverage and positioning ability. Matic, but people look down on Chelsea.

So this caused what happened in this game. Tottenham Hotspur adopted a head-to-head tactic against Chelsea, using the double midfielder combination of Ramsey and Matic, with Neymar and Lewandoffs in front. The attack combination of Ki, Messi and Ribery exposed the problems at the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

There is a data that can show Chelsea's problem, that is, looking at all the strong teams in the Premier League this season, Chelsea's average number of successful tackles per game is the lowest, and the average number of successful interceptions per game is also the lowest, which can be described as double low.

The reason for the double low is that there are more players in midfield like Lampard and Ramirez who are both offensive and defensive, but have a weak sense of position, but none of them can stay in the backcourt and stand in position. There is also Mikel inside, the latter has no problem with the ball, but the coverage area is too small to solve this problem.

If you look at it purely from the midfield, Tottenham Hotspur actually have this problem. Ramsey and Vidal are both offensive and defensive players. Vidal has a good sense of position, but he always runs around the field. Pirlo The ball, the ball and the organization are quite good, but the coverage area is relatively small.

Tottenham Hotspur's solution to the problem is to expand the central defender's activity area and integrate the areas of Pirlo, Thiago Silva and Kompany's three players, which is what many people call the so-called defense Iron triangle, this is also one of the components of wave defense.

In this way, the problem of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield cannot be said to be solved, but at least the stability and firmness are guaranteed to the greatest extent!
But Chelsea does not have such a defensive line configuration, and it cannot reach Tottenham Hotspur's use of defense to feed back the midfield, because what he needs to do now is to use the midfield to plug the weakness of the defense.

Lost in midfield, coupled with David Luiz's poor performance in this game, Chelsea began to maintain a defensive posture for 10 minutes, and was finally broken by Tottenham Hotspur in one fell swoop.

After Franck Ribery scored the first goal, in less than 8 minutes, No. 401 minutes in the first half, Lewandowski and Messi hit the wall, and Messi rushed into the penalty area to kick. , but Terry made a crucial interception and poked the ball away before Messi, but Ramsey volleyed and scored, 2:0!

In the first half, the stalemate lasted for half an hour. With Tottenham Hotspur scoring two goals in a row, it finally came to an end!
Mourinho stood on the sidelines and saw Ramsey's goal. He looked up at the sky and found that the lights of the Stratford Stadium were very dazzling, so he turned and walked back to the coach's bench. The soft seat made him feel a little uncomfortable at this moment, no matter how he sat on it.

…………

…………

During the intermission, Mourinho made a substitution, replacing Hulk with Mikel. As a result, the team left Torres and Oscar in the frontcourt, while the midfielder had two players. Mikel, Ramirez, Lampard, William and David? Luiz five players.

"Mourinho obviously wants to give up the game. Is this going to return to his iconic bus tactic? After so many years, he has not improved at all!" Waddle said to Mourinho's midfielder People are very dissatisfied.

"I'm sure if he continues with this conservative stance, he will pay the price!"

Not long after Waddle's words fell, Tottenham Hotspur had another chance. In Chelsea's half, Ribéry fell to the ground and tackled Ashley Cole's foot ball, and the ball fell to May. West's feet.

The Argentine superstar cut in with the ball from the right. Although David Luiz followed up along the way, he did not get close to Messi. This gave the Argentine a chance to peek at the loopholes in his Chelsea defense. When Dorvsky was equal to Terry, he directly kicked a sharp through ball, which accurately tore through Chelsea's defense.

Lewandowski stepped in from behind. With outstanding explosive power, he grabbed ahead of goalkeeper Cesar and pushed the ball. The ball rolled into Chelsea's goal again, 3:0!

After the goal, Lewandowski rushed out of the field excitedly. All the Tottenham fans stood up and cheered for the Polish center forward, and all the Tottenham players They all rushed to the sidelines to celebrate Lewandowski's goal, and the entire Stratford Stadium seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​celebration.

Sky TV adopted a split-screen method this time, and Ye Qiu and Mourinho's expressions appeared on the screen at the same time. Mourinho sat in the visiting team coach's bench, keeping his composure.

It's just that, being slightly covered by the ceiling of the visiting team's coach bench, it looks a bit bleak, and Mourinho's expression is very dark and ugly.

After being scored consecutively by Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea began to counterattack frantically, trying to suppress Tottenham Hotspur in the half-court, which also forced Ye Qiu to let the double queens of Matic and Ramsey The waist is withdrawn a little, the team's overall formation is retracted, and at the same time, Messi is actively withdrawn to participate in the series.

In less than 10 minutes, Chelsea once again paid a heavy price for pressing too hard.

Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Matic passed the ball to Ribery on the wing, and the latter knocked it to Messi who retreated and participated in the series. At this time, David Luiz rushed to post Live Messi, but the Argentine is very flexible. He dribbled the ball, swayed past David?

I saw Neymar on the left rushing forward at the fastest speed, quickly rushed to the left side of Chelsea's penalty area, stopped the ball, stood still, Gary Cahill quickly returned to the big penalty area, bent over , staring at Neymar, waiting for the Brazilian to make a move.

Neymar dribbled the ball close to the left side of the penalty area. He knew that the fast break could no longer be played, so he was waiting for his teammates to rush up.

In the eyes of Gary Cahill, Neymar suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes. He thought that Neymar was going to smash the ball into the penalty area and immediately blocked the position in advance, but what he didn't expect was that Neymar suddenly kicked the ball to the bottom line. I rushed up quickly.

At this time, Cahill had lost his center of gravity and was unable to block immediately, but Neymar pulled out of his position smoothly and made a low pass before the baseline.

In the penalty area, Lewandowski grabbed ahead of Terry, stretched out his right foot and poked the ball. The ball touched Lewandowski's foot, turned in one direction, and hit the goal. Hit the back net, 4:0!

"Wow~~~~~"

There was an astonishing admiration from the entire Stratford Stadium. No one could have imagined that Tottenham Hotspur played such a crazy offensive and scored four goals for Chelsea at their home court!
Mourinho sat on the coach's bench of the away team, stretched out his right hand to cover his face, and he looked extremely disappointed in the team.

But in stark contrast to his disappointment, it was Tottenham Hotspur celebrating like crazy. The [-] fans in the entire Stratford Stadium rushed out of their seats, screaming hoarsely. shout.

The cheers of 8 people, like a mountain torrent, surged down from the sloping stands, and the momentum was like the sky was falling. That feeling was enough to make all the people deep in the stadium excited Trembling.

This is Stratford Stadium, the new palace of Tottenham Hotspur!

"Mourinho is paying the worst price for his conservatism!" Waddle said in a critical tone.

Even though Mourinho looks a little sad and involuntary, this is football, football without any mercy!
After a four-goal lead, Tottenham Hotspur still took the offensive, while Chelsea went further on the defensive. Mourinho did not step out of the coaching bench, but he conveyed his thoughts and ideas through the assistant coach.

In fact, he really doesn't have too many effective solutions, because Chelsea has been completely defeated until now, even if it is an away game, even if it is facing Tottenham Hotspur, but Chelsea There is really no effective way to restrain this team.

Perhaps conceding a goal stimulated Chelsea, they began to become very cautious, the overall formation basically retracted to their own half, and Tottenham also began to consciously slow down their offensive.

Seventy-ten minutes later, Ye Qiu made substitutions one after another, replacing Ribery with Januzaj, Messi with Eriksson, and finally Ramsey with Phil Jones.

The three new players also cherished this opportunity for a strong dialogue, and they all performed very positively after playing, while Chelsea lost the will to counterattack and stuck to their own half.

At the 10th and [-]th minute of the game, when everyone felt that the game was likely to end because of this, Eriksson took the ball in midfield and passed it diagonally behind him to the left side of the penalty area. Neymar once again shook off Iraqi. Vanovic rushed to the left to get the ball and directly made a low pass.

Lewandowski, who came in from the middle, grabbed the point, but the ball was thrown by Cesar and flew out of the small penalty area.

But just when Chelsea thought the goal was safe, Januzaj rushed from the right rib to the right side of the penalty area, raised his left foot and hit the ball directly with a curved volley. With an arc, it fell into the goal behind Cesar, while the Brazilian goalkeeper stared at the beating ball inside the goal line, beating the turf helplessly.

It was the fifth time in the game that he picked up the ball from inside the goal, which is a shame for any goalkeeper.

All the Chelsea players looked at the ball behind Cesar in disbelief. Some of them even felt ashamed. Lampard even squatted on the grass, not knowing what to do. They have an urge to dig a hole in the ground.

It's too miserable, especially Chelsea, which has always been known for its toughness and defense, and Mourinho, who has always been known for his defense and integrity. The five-goal humiliation of Hotspur, this is definitely their nightmare for a long time to come!

After Januzaj's goal, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and applauded vigorously. He was giving encouragement and support to the Belgian teenager.

In fact, Ye Qiu was also very surprised at the end of the game, because this was something he hadn't thought of before the game. It can only be said that the team played so smoothly in this game, it was unbelievably smooth.

Originally, Ye Qiu started with the combination of Matic and Ramsey, in order to take advantage of Chelsea's weakness and insufficiency in the midfielder position, and mobilize Chelsea's defense through the movement of the ball in the midfield, but he did not expect that this game Only went on for half an hour.

In the first half hour, Chelsea made a lot of mistakes, but did not reveal a fatal flaw, until David Luiz made a mistake, and Tottenham Hotspur directly seized this mistake and scored a goal .

Throughout this game, Chelsea made 530 pass errors out of 93 six passes in the entire game, of which David Luiz made 33 pass errors alone. It is very terrible, and his success rate in the whole game is only [-]%. It can be seen that this Brazilian central defender is seriously out of shape when he switched to playing as a midfielder.

On the contrary, the veteran Terry performed very well, but he had no choice but to be alone and unable to support himself.

But who can blame this?
None of the players Mourinho wanted came. Cavani and Matic are both players on this central axis. After losing Matic, he asked the team to switch to De Rossi of Manchester City. , but the Italian has no desire to switch to Chelsea. How does this make Mourinho line up in the midfield?

Even if he doesn't play David Luiz, Mikel, or other players in this game, maybe the team won't lose so badly, but who can predict this kind of thing in advance?
Before the start of each game, which head coach does not support the team with the belief of winning?

A defeat is a defeat, he has completely failed in this match, and he has nothing to say about the loss!
However, he was unwilling to lose because it was unfair!
