Vol 5 Chapter 171: The best response

After Morris finished scoring, Manchester City club chairman Waldell stood up in the VIP box. He raised his arms and cheered, not caring the frowning of Abramovich. [Latest chapter reading ..] ▼
"It's really annoying." Abramovich thought.
A bodyguard stepped forward and stood between Abramovich and Waddell, as if he wanted to help Abramovich block the "noise" that Waddell made. Of course, this may not have any effect, but look Less than Waddell's smug face may make Abramovich feel a little better, but his face is still gloomy and scary.
Abramovich's mood is really not very good.
Abramovich is still looking forward to Chelsea's performance this season, especially after signing German captain Barak in May and introducing Andre Shepchenko. In the eyes of the Russians, Chelsea is not weaker than Any giant is stronger than a "small club" like Manchester City. I don't know how many.
Although Manchester City pressed Chelsea to win the league title last season, but as the media said, it was just an accident, because Chelsea's performance is actually not bad, the usual season's results are enough to win the league championship, but Manchester City's The performance is better, but their advantage is that only the league can play, Chelsea still have the Champions League to play, it is better to focus on the two sides, so Manchester City will have the opportunity to win the league championship.
This is the media's view of Manchester City's championship in the summer, and Abramovich nodded frequently, which was very recognized.
This season is different.
Chelsea's lineup is more gorgeous than last season, and Manchester City has little change. It also sold the team captain and main wing forward. In truth, Manchester City's strength has declined. Under the trade-off, Chelsea must have an advantage over Manchester City. too much.
Abramovich also believes that those media said are very reasonable, perhaps Chelsea's competitors this season will not be Manchester City, but Manchester City, Arsenal and other traditional giants.
So for this first round against Manchester City, Abramovich is full of expectations. ◆ ■■ ◆ ●
But the game does not seem like this. Chelsea attacked for a long time, and failed to score a goal. Shepchenko, who he was optimistic about, was almost ineffective, and Manchester City scored a goal with a counterattack. Looking at the current situation, it seems that Manchester City still has the meaning of controlling the game, which is really different from the big victory he expected.
Abramovich is not here to see a failure, and his mood can be imagined at this time.
He needs victory, preferably a big victory. Only then can he show his role as the club's chairman and bring the stars to the team. Otherwise, he invested so much money, didn't he hit the float? Others will laugh at that time, "Look at that Russian, he spent hundreds of millions of euros to build a team, not even as good as Manchester City with a total value of less than 100 million ..." He will become the joke of all Europe. Perhaps even some Chelsea fans will see it that way, because his investment in the team and the income gap is too big.
Thinking of these Abramovich is even worse.
The cheers of Waddell next to him kept reminding him about it. It seemed to be saying, "Look. My Manchester City didn't invest anything at all, but now it is ahead of Chelsea who invested hundreds of millions of euros ... .. "
Seeing the cheers of Manchester City on the field, Abramovich's face grew darker, his fingers pinched fiercely.
...
Chelsea coach Mourinho on the field, including all Chelsea players, is not good-looking, they have the upper hand at the beginning of the game, I did not expect that Manchester City will be the first to score.
Among the players. Lampard is in the worst mood.
Just now Lampard still wanted to compare with Morris and thought that his personal ability was better than Morris, but now Morris scored a goal by relying on his personal ability. Lampard and Ballack and Carvalho are teammates, and their defensive abilities are clear. In addition, goalkeeper Cech ’s ability was also recognized by the team. Because of this, Lampard clearly understood how difficult it was to throw Barak away from 1v1 and then tricked Carvalho and Cech to score the ball. At least he It cannot be done. But Morris did it. What does this prove?
"Is that guy's personal ability better than me?" Lampard's heart was shaken. He knew that at least so far, his performance could not catch up with Morris.
However, as a top player, Lampard quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to deal with the next game. Up to now, the game has not been half done, so it is not a professional player to be discouraged.
...
The game restarted soon.
At this time, the players on the field have already adapted to the game, and Manchester City's cooperation has gradually played out. Every Manchester City attack can play a series of cooperation. This kind of cooperation is dazzling. Even if the defense is strong Chelsea, sometimes it will be caught by surprise It is very difficult for them to cope with this offensive. Some players ’minds cannot even keep up. They just saw the ball here, and after a while the ball went there, they could not fully defend.
In this continuous coordination, Chelsea players are a bit numb.
Many times, Manchester City is not anxious to pass the ball forward, but constantly cooperates with the foot in the midfield, they will unconsciously relax their vigilance, then Manchester City suddenly launched a fast offensive, this rhythm change is very uncomfortable, they Some couldn't keep up, and many of Manchester City's offensives would pose some threats to Chelsea's goal.
The biggest headache for Chelsea players is Manchester City's possession. Football has always been at the foot of Manchester City, and it is very difficult for them to grab it.
So in order to defend well, they had to shrink the defense.
At the beginning of the game, they used their home advantage and momentum to push Manchester City to half, and now they are also quite passive.
Even if coach Mourinho knows that in the face of Manchester City's offensive, he needs a stronger defense and more running, but if he wants to do this, he still needs the players to swing. Chelsea still needs time to adapt. .ww. ▼
Now in Europe, Barcelona is similar to Manchester City.
Some people say that Wansheng 'plagiarized' Barcelona's tactics, but in fact, the top coaches have seen the difference between the two teams. The main difference between the two teams' tactics is the different center of gravity, and Manchester City is more inclined to change Rhythm, they use the sudden change of rhythm to find opportunities, while Barcelona is more focused on control, and they keep falling. Even hesitate to pass in the backcourt, and Manchester City did not do so often.
There is no way to comment on which style of play is more advantageous. It can only be seen from the players' swings on the court. In contrast, Barcelona played more technically and Manchester City played more directly.
Despite being less technical than Barcelona, ​​Chelsea's direct attack on Manchester City's rhythm-changing offensive was a headache.
It is difficult for them to adapt to this transformation.
Then Manchester City's offensive was quite threatening.
Passed again and again. Repeated fast breaks and repeated shots in front of the goal kept Chelsea busy. Although their offense also played well, with the passage of time, Chelsea still played much more passively.
At this time, the media who shouted that Chelsea was a "must-win" before the game stopped talking.
They were surprised.
In their view, Chelsea should be stronger after adding the lineup in the summer, but Manchester City still suppresses Chelsea, especially at Stamford Bridge. They were surprised.
Manchester City's most important player is undoubtedly midfielder Morris.
Morris also performed well last season, but definitely not as good as this one. In the face of the German captain, the main defender of Portugal and the young countrymen Cech, he can swing so well. With the goal just now, almost It is certain that Morris will be the best player in the field. ▼
But it is impossible for a Morris to drive the entire team. Overall, every player in Manchester City performed well.
Like the defender young defender Kopler Ferreira, Ivan Crewe and Downing on the sidelines. David Silva, who partnered with Morris in the middle, and so on, these players are taken out individually, and they have performed very well. It is because of these many players that they have performed well. Manchester City can play a subtle match in a row.
The most surprising thing is that among these players, except Tangning, almost all of them were dug out by the Chinese.
It's really amazing ...
How could this Chinese have such a good vision?
Every player he valued will have a good performance. Is this the mysterious magic from the East in the legend?
...
In the eyes of many people looking at Wan Sheng in surprise, the game time is a little bit consumed. Although Chelsea played somewhat passively in the second half of the first half, they kept the goal when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half.
The first half ended with o: 1.
The players of both teams took a long breath, and many people sat directly on the grass.
No matter for which team, it is very exhausting to play such a high-intensity game. Many of the players who run a lot do not want to use it while sitting on the grass. Wait for their teammates to pull them up, and then slowly Back to the dressing room.
Chelsea coach Mourinho returned to the locker room early.
Chelsea are one goal behind at home and it is not easy to get back, but Mourinho is thinking about defense. From the Portuguese's point of view, it is possible to tie the score with a brain attack, but next time? Next time? They will still play passively against Manchester City, and it is still difficult to occupy the advantage on the court, and it will still be a headache for Manchester City's attack.
So he needs to come up with something to know how to deal with Manchester City's offensive, which is the most important.
Even if you lose the ball and know how to play against Manchester City, the future game will be very easy to deal with, so it is totally worth it. After all, this is a league, not a cup match. The two teams have to fight in the league. Twice, this time I lost and won the next time. Not to mention, Chelsea is not without opportunities on offense, but there are not so many threats from Manchester City.
Mourinho was pacing in the dressing room.
All the players who just entered the locker room did not speak with their heads down, because they knew that the head coach must be in a bad mood when they were behind, but no one wanted to get into trouble at this time.
At this moment, Carvalho and Mendes pushed in. Carvalho was still talking about the goal. He explained, "I wanted to create an offside, if he (Morris) passed the ball, Anelka was offside, but he didn't expect him to shoot. I remember he used to pass the ball many times before. "
Mourinho looked at Carvalho in front of the door.
Carvalho was taken aback and quickly closed his mouth and lowered his head into the dressing room, when Mourinho asked, "What did you just say?"
"No ... nothing, boss."
"No, as you said, offside?"
Carvalho whispered that it seemed to fear the head coach's anger, "Yes, I was just talking to Tiago about their goal. I had wanted Anelka offside, but Morris would actually shoot. He was not like this last season. "
Mourinho nodded, and suddenly he had an idea to try.
That is to create offside.
If you can use the offside method to squeeze Manchester City's offensive space, then the team's formation can be pulled out, while limiting the opponent's offensive, at the same time, the offense will be more powerful.
As long as it can successfully limit the offensive of the other party, the situation will benefit Chelsea.
There is still risk in doing so. In case of an unsuccessful offside, that is a good opportunity for Manchester City, but now Chelsea is behind. In any case, there is no worse result than losing the game.
This is the best way Mourinho currently thinks of dealing with Manchester City!
If Manchester City is allowed to attack, then Manchester City's play will definitely suppress Chelsea and be squeezed in its own half. Chelsea will be passive in attack and defense. If you create an offside and open the formation, Chelsea will find the advantage in the situation and the offense. Will be more powerful.
After Mourinho's decision, he looked at Terry, Carvalho and others. Now he must believe in the tacit understanding of the team's defensive players.
Mourinho's heart was steady when he saw Terry.
Terry is the team captain ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His command is very good, and he is still very trustworthy. Carvalho will also listen to Terry on the court, and of course other players will also follow the command.
So Mourinho gathered all the players and talked about the offside play. Chelsea rarely used this tactic to defend. Now they have to do so.
"But, boss, we are not skilled." Terry asked in doubt.
Usually they also make offside. For example, Morris ’goal, Carvalho wanted to defend by making an offside, but the entire back line was made offside together, and this was regarded as the main defensive method. They really did n’t try. Ever.
"It's okay, we can try it. It's like this in the second half, and the defense is at your command." Mourinho said, patting Terry on the shoulder.
Terry immediately felt a heavy responsibility. He nodded fiercely and expressed his confidence. (To be continued.)
