Football’s First Defender

Chapter 288: Surprise

Mourinho did not make too many changes to the team's lineup and tactics during the intermission. After all, the team played very well in the final stage of the first half and brought the momentum of the game back.

   All the pre-battle preparations are not as good as the performance of the players on the field.

   Maybe he only led by one goal at home, Mourinho himself was unwilling, but today Chelsea players, in most of the time when they are physically fit, have performed really well.

   Although Mourinho doesn't want to admit it, in terms of absolute strength, Chelsea must still have a slight advantage now.

  Neither team is essentially the kind of team that strictly pursues the technical ability of players.

When Ancelotti was interviewed by the media before the game, he actually admitted very frankly that even though Chelsea has experienced several coaches after the Mourinho era, there are still many marks of Mourinho’s coaching. .

   is like the most central axis of Chelsea, still the absolute core left over from the Mourinho era.

   Inter Milan and Chelsea, in essence, there is not much difference in tactical style.

   However, in recent years, many Chelsea players have indeed been in the golden period of their careers.

   And in the Premier League, the Chelsea players are obviously better than Inter players in running and physical confrontation.

   After being completely suppressed in the first half, there is still the momentum of Inter Milan's counter-pressure in the last period of time. Now Mourinho is very optimistic about the tactical strategy of maintaining a one-goal lead and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

   Whether the second round at Stamford Bridge can be held at that time, let's talk about it. Now for Inter Milan, it's good to protect the home victory first.

   Mourinho does not want to adjust, and Ancelotti does not have too many cards to adjust.

   Inter Milan's offensive at the end of the first half has proved that Inter Milan is not without offense, but only suppressed by Chelsea's frontcourt defense.

   But in order to suppress Inter Milan’s counterattack, Chelsea, which is leading the attack, actually consumes a lot of physical strength, which leads to Chelsea may not have enough physical energy to cope with the whole game.

   Due to injuries, for Ancelotti, there are not many cards that can be played.

   In addition to Joe Cole on the offensive end, other players including Deco and Zhirkov are almost all injured, so the newly signed teenager Sturridge can also be used this season.

   And in the case of a big lagging behind, Ancelotti with a defensive hand is also unspeakable.

   If you want to continue to make changes on the offensive end, you can only let Belletti play the left back and let Malouda continue to advance the position, but in essence, there is not much improvement.

   After all, Malouda spent most of the game at the left-back position, but he did the job as the left-back.

   Ancelotti is very cautious about the use of Joe Cole's card. After all, he has only this effective offensive card in hand, so he wants to switch this offense to the blade.

Ancelotti's tactics for Chelsea also did not have too many general adjustments, that is, the team is required to play vigorously in the second half, and appropriately use the left and right sides in the game~www.readwn.com~ to open Enough offensive space.

   In the second half, after the Chelsea players got a break, they performed very well at the beginning and re-used their running ability to regain the team's suppressive power on the court.

   But this time, Inter Milan's defense line was very deadly fenced from the beginning of the second half, without giving Chelsea players too much space for attack.

The Chelsea players, while still occupying possession of the ball, can rely on their own running to immediately launch a high front press when losing the ball to curb Inter Milan’s defensive counterattack. However, almost all players in Inter Milan After finishing the defense in halftime, Chelsea's offense still lacked enough variables to complete the fatal blow to Inter Milan's defense.

   Chelsea, who is the main player on the wing, although most of the chances of crosses cannot receive the offensive effect they deserve, it is far better than the mid-range offense that has fallen into a standstill.

   At least the cross from the wing is a matter of probability. If Drogba or Anelka seizes the opportunity for a cross, then it is possible to score directly.

However, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, Chelsea did not create any chance to hit the goal. The offense and defense of the two sides reached a balanced state. Inter Milan's defense was more than enough to attack, while Chelsea had no possession rate, but could not cause threat. Offensive opportunities.

   Nowadays, if you want to open up the situation in a short time, you may still need the player's personal performance and some unexpected factors.

   Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Ancelotti also signaled the players from the sidelines
