Red Rebels

"Judging from the situation in the first half, it is obvious that Chelsea's tactics that emphasize fighting are not very adaptable, especially when entering Chelsea's half, the players are obviously unbearable, but Chelsea, on the other hand, restrained them very well. Attack." Andy Gray reviewed the first half during the halftime break and made a summary.

"The players are obviously out of shape. The double midfielder formed by Beckham and Essien has been hit by Joe Cole, Lampard, Deco, Veron, and even Emerson in turn, which makes it difficult for them. Just like before, we control the ball at our feet and are passive on the scene. In addition, Chelsea's recent state is indeed very good, and the goals of Shevchenko and Deco reflect this."

Martin Taylor felt helpless for conceding the goal in the first half and also had a pessimistic attitude towards the game.

"It can be seen from the scene that the players are working as hard as ever, but the problem is that it will take some time to regain the lost form and return to the feared team before!"

In the past, the performance was stable because Mourinho emphasized the overall situation, so even when individual stars were in poor condition, the overall effect could make up for this hole. However, now the team as a whole has fallen into a low ebb.

And relatively speaking, the schedule is indeed disadvantageous.

After the rectification, the team immediately encountered the tough team Birmingham. This is a team that makes people hate their teeth. Every time they encounter Birmingham, nothing good happens. After encountering Birmingham, it is Chelsea, and then they challenge West Bromwich Albion away. , and then usher in Arsenal and Tottenham.

The tight schedule and the sluggish state of the players have all contributed to the delay in turning the situation around.

"Beckham is absent. Maybe De Rossi can make up for this loophole. The Italian is very fierce in defense and has strong offensive ability in the back row. He can form an effective interaction with Essien and limit Chelsea's center."

Martin Taylor nodded and said: "And Drogba, the African elephant king is said to have been internally suspended due to a red card. He didn't even make the squad for the last game against Birmingham. This game he was placed on the bench. Villa. He was closely guarded by Cannavaro and Stam and did not perform at all in the first half. Drogba should be replaced."

After finishing speaking, even Martin Taylor himself had to shake his head and sigh.

"Chelsea's midfielder is really strong this season. Emerson is both offensive and defensive, Deco and Veron are very strong in both organizational and offensive abilities, and Lampard's back-row penetration is even more important to Chelsea's offense. With powerful weapons, coupled with Joe Cole who can hold the ball in the frontcourt, and Shevchenko who is versatile, Chelsea's attacking group is undoubtedly the strongest in the Premier League!"

Even if Xiao Yu heard these words, he couldn't give any refutation.

Don't look at the shining stars in the frontcourt of this game. Villa, Ronaldinho, Messi and Kaká are all the best in the world in various positions, but that is the future, and now, they are famous. Rookies are still improving and are far from reaching their peak abilities later on.

So whether it is in terms of reputation or strength, it is indeed slightly inferior to Chelsea.

But it is not without advantages. In the first match this season, they defeated Chelsea 0:2 away from home. That game relied on the tacit understanding between the players and exploited the newly formed loopholes of Chelsea. However, now that Chelsea has become established, it is difficult to Then take advantage of this.

I believe everyone at the scene is worried that maybe after this game, the unbeaten record at home that all fans are proud of will be lost. By then, there will really be nothing to lose!

"We have no way out!" Mourinho shouted forcefully in the locker room.

Each of the players looked dejected because of the defeat in the first half, but after hearing Mourinho's words, everyone raised their heads in unison. The head coach in front of them seemed more excited than ever before. .

"A month ago,

We are ranked first and maintain an unbeaten record that is looked up to by the whole Europe. We can raise our heads proudly, but today, one month later, we have lost any retreat. If we lose, we will completely fall out of the top four, and we will lose our way to the top. In Europe, the chance to participate in the Champions League, we may even lose the achievements that the team has finally built up! "

Mourinho was pacing back and forth in the dressing room, looking extremely excited.

"Do you know what people outside are saying about us now?"

None of the players spoke, but they all shook their heads.

"They will say, look, that team was so lucky that they took advantage of their opponent's poor form to win a Premier League title and set an unbelievable 60-game unbeaten streak, but what happened? ? He was quickly beaten back to his original shape!"

"Then, they will doubt our success, doubt our strength, doubt our past, and then they will say, this team should go back to the tenth division in despair, go back to the amateur league, where you are Where you should be!" Mourinho blushed, clenched his fists and shouted.

"I will not accept this kind of humiliation. I believe that anyone who still has even a trace of love for love will not accept this kind of humiliation. On the contrary, anyone with a bloody surname will face humiliation. Swing out his fist, beat the opponent hard, step on the opponent's corpse, reborn, and shout, letting everyone know that we are not a short-lived meteor, we will create eternity!"

After a pause, Mourinho glanced at all the players in the locker room with red eyes, "I ask you now, do you want to be reborn or destroyed?"

Terry stood up first. When Beckham was injured and Curtis was unable to participate in the game due to internal suspension, he took on the important task of captain of the team. He clenched his fists and raised his head high. Shout, "Rebirth!"

Messi, Kaká, Essien... the players stood up one after another and shouted in unison, "Rebirth!"

That momentum could almost shake up the home dressing room of the stadium!

"Very good, that's it!" Mourinho nodded.

"But, let me tell you, Chelsea is very strong. If we want to defeat our opponents, we must work harder than them. We are at a disadvantage, but that doesn't matter. What we are best at is blood, and what we are best at is Jedi. Counterattack, when we were a team in the lower leagues, we were always able to come back against strong opponents, remember?"

"Remember!" the players shouted in unison.

"But we can't lose our minds. We are not crazy. Only by paying attention to the overall structure and tactics can we reverse our opponents. You know that Chelsea next door may be celebrating in the locker room now. They hope to win in this stadium that has never been conquered. We, they must be trampling on our dignity and pride without scruples!"

Mourinho once again encouraged the players' emotions to a higher level. When he saw an evil fire full of anger in each of their eyes, Mourinho knew it was okay!

"Chelsea will definitely think that when we are 0:2 behind, we want to stabilize the situation more, then they are wrong! We are never afraid of any opponent, right?"

"Yes!" the players shouted in unison again.

"In the second half we have to counterattack, we have to attack, a crazy attack, this must be beyond everyone's expectations, they must not believe that we dare to attack, but we just have to attack, use the most powerful offense to force Chelsea to turn Enter the defense and completely suppress them!"

After saying that, Mourinho came to Drogba and stared at the Elephant King of Cote d'Ivoire, "Didier, are you ready?"

Drogba took a deep breath, held his head high, and nodded heavily, "Ready, sir!"

"Very good, you will serve as center forward in the second half. If you cannot break through Chelsea's defense, I will ban you for another three games!"

"Don't worry, sir!" Drogba agreed without even thinking.

Mourinho patted Drogba's muscular shoulder and turned to look at Villa. The latter obviously thought Mourinho was going to replace him, and his eyes were a little dim. His performance in the first half was indeed not good. good.

"David, your position will be more flexible in the second half, connecting the frontcourt, connecting the two wings, sharing the defensive pressure for Ricardo, etc. These are what you have to do, can you do it?" Mourinho asked sharply.

Villa was a little surprised, but he still nodded firmly, "Yes, sir!"

After finishing speaking, Mourinho came to the tactical board in the locker room and quickly drew the tactical formation diagram for the second half. He suddenly started a 4132 tactic, in which Essien was left alone in the midfielder.

"Michael, your mission is to form a coverage and sweep area in front of the defense line. You are alone and have no offensive mission. Your only mission is to intercept all enemies who enter this area and protect the defense line. Can you do that?"

Essien nodded heavily. He knew very well that this task was very heavy and a test for himself, but he felt that he was capable of it.

Mourinho did not arrange impossible tasks for him for no reason. A single midfielder values ​​​​more lateral interception ability and the ability to play the ball after intercepting the ball. Essien's lateral interception ability is very good, and his running He has outstanding ability and fast speed, but the most rare thing is that he also has good ball-playing ability, which is particularly important.

For a defensive midfielder, if he can grab the ball, he can only be said to be a first-class defensive midfielder. After being able to grab the ball, he must also be able to produce the ball. Only then can he be qualified to become a top defensive midfielder, just like Real Madrid's Makélélé and Manchester United's Roy? Keane, Arsenal's Vieira, etc. Now Essien is also making progress in this direction and has achieved certain results.

Of course, the premise is that his state must be able to be stimulated and stay excited!

"Evra, Maicon, the left and right wings will be handed over to you in the second half. From the backcourt to the frontcourt, you have to open the entire wing corridor for me, connect the backcourt and the frontcourt, and be able to participate. When you attack, you must be able to come back and defend when you retreat, and at the same time, you must help Michael sort out the ending!"

Both full-backs nodded in unison. (=half-/floating*-生+)ww.anueng.om

The biggest feature of these two full-backs is their speed. If Evra and Maicon defend wholeheartedly, their defensive abilities are still very good, but Mourinho needs to use their offensive abilities in this game. The full-back's forward assists made up for the impact of Beckham's absence.

The full-back's forward attack is very sudden and has strong privacy, but the risk is also high. However, Mourinho's attitude is very clear. Maintain offensive pressure in the frontcourt and counterattack on the spot to relieve the defensive pressure in the backcourt. Once the frontcourt is If the ball is lost, try to buy time for the full-back to return to his position.

This is in line with the usual tactics, which are just more stable and balanced. But this time, Mourinho decided to give it a go and made it clear that he was going to fight with all his might.

Tactical layout is only part of it, the key still depends on the players' execution on the court and Chelsea's response!

However, when Mourinho ended the halftime break and returned to the coaching bench, the expression on his face was no longer the anger at the end of the first half, but was replaced by a calm and calm look. He even even shouted Sitting on the coach's bench, he grinned.

Mourinho wants to use this attitude to make the players understand that as long as they follow my arrangements, this game has just begun, and we can achieve a great reversal and win.

Yes, what Mourinho wants is a victory, an impeccable victory that can declare victory from the ashes!
