Super Marshal

If you want to use one word to describe the mood of Chelsea players back in the dressing room, it is better than the rest of their lives.

They were like a group of survivors who had just escaped from the catastrophe, sitting in front of the closet, panting, watching the teammates around them, secretly rejoicing in the favor of the goddess of luck.

In the first half, Chelsea's performance was indeed comparable to disaster, but it was not how bad the Blues were, but that Manchester City was too strong.

Almost from the first minute of the game, Blue Moon has firmly controlled the situation on the field. It did not leave Chelsea many opportunities. Instead, it has scored into Chelsea’s penalty area again and again, and even threatened the goal. All are exhausted.

As early as in the league, they already felt the terrifying strength of Manchester City, but they did not expect that they performed better in this game, played more smoothly and more tacitly than in the league.

Chelsea players tried very hard to destroy Manchester City’s pass control, but there is no way. No matter which Manchester City player takes the ball, there are endless contact points around, and they even have some doubts. Manchester City players are closed. With eyes closed, everyone knows where to pass the ball, which gives Chelsea a feeling of being disarmed.

Losing possession of the ball, they are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they can only be beaten passively.

The strength of Manchester City's frontcourt offensive players is also quite terrifying, with a total of more than 100 goals scored in a single season. Whether it is personal ability or tacit cooperation, it makes people feel extremely afraid.

Imagine an offensive combination that even backup forward Sturridge can score 20 goals in a single season. How terrifying is that?

As a last resort, in the face of Manchester City's powerful offensive, Chelsea can only shrink the defense, but even so, they are still broken through the defense line again and again, directly threatening the goal.

But Goddess of Luck is clearly on Chelsea's side today.

One misjudgment, two uprights, three crossbars, Manchester City missed the opportunity to score six times in the first half, which made Chelsea as opponents feel very funny, because this luck is also too bad. .

He missed six must-go goals in 45 minutes, which is really unlucky.

However, after laughing at Manchester City, Chelsea could not help but feel deeply worried again, because they only have fifteen minutes, and the second half is about to begin.

With the situation in the first half, Manchester City in the second half will definitely continue to increase their offensive efforts. Can they bear it?

Soon, a faint feeling of anxiety filled the air in the dressing room.

Scolari pushed the door in and immediately felt the atmosphere. With rich experience in coaching, he immediately understood what was going on and knew what he had to do as the head coach to restore the morale of the team.

I only saw him stop at the entrance, thought for a moment, and walked quickly to the players rest area.

"Everyone, everyone performed very well in the first half and I am very satisfied."

Scolari's first sentence made all the players look over, and even showed a puzzled look.

Behave like this, be beaten so embarrassed by Manchester City, is this outstanding? Still satisfied?

Scolari reached out and wiped the thick moustache on his lips, "Perhaps you may find it very strange, and you may even suspect that I said this on purpose, but what I want to tell you is that you did quite well."

After a pause, Scolari looked at the players deeply before continuing.

"Man City is a very strong team, and they did have their advantage in the first half, but our defense has put a lot of pressure on the other side, so their players always make mistakes at critical moments. "

"We often say that a football game requires some luck, but once is luck, but two, three or four times, is that still luck? It can only be said that something must be wrong with this team, otherwise, what? Will it be like this?"

Scolari’s remarks are indeed a bit convincing, and as a player, no one wants to admit that they are far inferior to their opponents, so after listening to Scolari’s remarks, they feel even more convincing. Makes sense.

is not that right?

Hit the crossbar five times, is that really luck?

As professional players, they know very well that they don’t know how many times they have practiced all the technical moves since childhood. They can become a top star. Everyone has excellent technical skills and psychological qualities, and they appear to be continuous like the first half It is absolutely a rare abnormal situation to hit the crossbeam of the column five times.

"So, what caused them to have such a problem?" Scolari asked everyone's doubts.

Soon, the Brazilian coach gave his own answer.

"That's our defensive pressure. We gave them the pressure to make some errors in making key judgments, or subtle distortions in technical movements, which led to them hitting the crossbar five times."

Many people present nodded slightly, and began to believe Scolari's statement.

"That's why I said that we performed very well, and our opponents are under tremendous pressure, especially after the first half, their psychological pressure will be even greater. If you don't believe it, you can think about it. Cristiano Ronaldo's yellow card before the end of halftime."

The Portuguese have a strong desire to win, but they are somewhat impatient. This has been exposed during Inter Milan's effectiveness, but after arriving at Manchester City, under the training of Alpine, he has become more and more calm. This is what he has entered this season. The reason for the skyrocketing number of balls, but at the end of the first half, he obviously reappeared.

Six missed chances to score a goal, everyone will feel depressed, even discouraged, not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo, who is easy to become anxious.

"I want to remind everyone that this is our opportunity."

"Long time to attack is a fatal injury. Although Manchester City performed very well in the first half, the psychological pressure was too great. We must continue to adhere to the tactical play of the first half in the second half, and even continue to strengthen the team's defense and wait for the opportunity. We waited for our opponents to reveal their flaws, and then we made a surprise attack and broke the Manchester City goal in one fell swoop."

Scolari's strategy has been recognized by all players, which is also the most pragmatic tactical play at this stage.

What's more, Chelsea did not fight back in the first half.

The Brazilian coach's words rekindled the hope of winning in the eyes of all Chelsea players.

"To be honest, with our performance in the first half, I believe that changing to any head coach in the world will definitely be very satisfied, because we completely control the situation on the court and have an absolute advantage, even time and time again. The ground tore open the opponent's line of defense and created a chance to score goals."

"Perhaps our luck tonight is indeed a little worse. One misjudgment, two pillars, and three beams. We were completely manipulated by God, but this has nothing to do with our performance."

In the Manchester City locker room, all the players watched the coach Gao Han silently, listening to his words, but they were at a loss.

Is this praise anyway? Still criticizing?

"You don't have to guess, the whole world is satisfied, but I am not satisfied." Gao Han gave the answer directly.

This makes everyone's heart stunned.

"This is not the performance we should have, and this is not the Manchester City I hope to see, because what I see from the team's performance in the first half is not an overwhelming advantage, but immaturity."

When Gao Han said this, he looked at Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese had known his problem for a long time, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Gao Han.

"Cristiano, I really want to know, do you have no confidence in me?"

The Portuguese was taken aback, Huo Di jumped up from his seat, "No...no, boss, I..."

Gao Han raised his right hand and motioned to him, "Then why are you so impatient? Do you think I can't see the situation on the court? I can't adjust the team?"

Everyone in the locker room was silent.

Looking at the whole world, if you dare to ask Cristiano Ronaldo face to face, you can still feel a little overwhelmed by the Portuguese. I'm afraid there is only high cold.

"And you, how many times have I yelled from the sidelines? I told you that the pace is faster, slower, don’t worry, can you hear it? You are attacking the opponent’s goal again and again, and indeed all A threat is created, but what's the result?"

Gao Han walked over, patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the shoulder and motioned him to sit back.

"If it is said that the misjudgment is the cause of the referee and it is excusable, then there is a little luck with the two uprights and three crossbars, but a very important factor is that we have some problems with our own mentality."

"I don't deny that our offense is very sharp, the pass in the backcourt is in place, and the midfielder can also organize and plan a threatening offensive, but our mentality is obviously too anxious. We want to eat our opponents in one bite. If you think so, the more you can't eat it."

"We Chinese have an old saying that you can't be a fat man with one bite. Rome was not built in a day."

Everyone, including Cristiano Ronaldo, began to reflect after hearing what Gao Han said.

The Portuguese asked himself that he was really anxious, especially some time later in the first half, which allowed him to receive an unnecessary yellow card. It is estimated that this is the reason the boss is most angry.

Two uprights and three crossbars seem to be luck, but in fact it's not that there are no players' psychological factors at work.

In order to score a goal, some deliberate pursuit of angle when starting.

As a scorer, he knows very well that scoring is a matter of course. Sometimes the more deliberately pursued, the harder it is to score goals, so there will be a scoring shortage.

"I have told you more than once that the football field now competes not only on the body, skills and tactics, but also here." Gao Han poked his temple vigorously, "Only people who play with their brains can laugh. At last."

"What the opponents most want us to do is to continue the offensive in the first half. They will defensively defend and counterattack, and we will eventually expose the fatal flaws, but we definitely can't let them do so."

"In the second half, we should slow down the rhythm appropriately, control the ball with patience, and look for opportunities patiently. Don't worry, focus on stability. As long as we firmly grasp the ball, it is equivalent to handing over the opponent's weapon. It must be clearer than I am, how big a blow this will be to the opponent."

"So, we have to play more patiently and smarter than our opponents, and don't be controlled by your emotions."

Gao Han's words have also been recognized by all players~www.readwn.com~ If a team has not been able to touch the football for a long time, the psychological shock to the players is very big, and it can even be said to be devastating.

This is like a revolver with only one bullet in it, and both sides bet on their lives.

Originally, it was planned to shoot at the opponent in turn to see who was unlucky, but now the gun is firmly controlled by the opponent, and he is constantly shooting at himself. Who can withstand this pressure?

"You must believe me, there will only be one winner in this game, and that is our Manchester City!"

The high cold threw loudly, said loudly and powerfully.
