Vol 5 Chapter 273: Warm up before the competition

The striker does not only refer to the striker. In the mind of Chelsea coach Mourinho, for this game, this has become a general concept, which refers to all s gates that can pose a threat to the goal. 【..】
It is clear from the game that Manchester City are more efficient than Chelsea, and Mourinho also attributed the reason to the 'forward line'.
Whether from observation or data, we can get this conclusion.
However, in Mourinho's view, the most critical thing is indeed the striker, because for the offense, the role of the striker is not only reflected in the goal.
Like Anelka and Drogba in this game, the two are the same type of player, standing in the front of the formation, but not just looking for opportunities to slap, no matter which of the two, both There is another very important responsibility-the tactical center.
Like Liverpool striker Crouch, everyone knows that Crouch is a tactical center and scores few goals in many games, but Benitez gives him starting opportunities again and again. This is because Crouch even Not scoring a goal, can also play a considerable role in the overall tactics, the simplest one, he can attract enough defense.
Anelka and Drogba are also the same. They are not standard ‘tactical’ centers, but the player who rushes to the front will always have a tactical role.
In addition, for the entire team, the running and pulling of the forward players and the cooperation with the entire team are also very important for a center. This will allow you to get more opportunities and also allow the opponent to defend. More headaches, but also can cooperate with the entire team's offense.
All of the above is a combination of all the things a striker does in the game, each of which is important.
In Mourinho's view, Drogba is not weaker than Anelka in terms of personal ability, and his body and technology are not bad. The main difference in the game lies in the role of tactics. In the goal, Anelka also played even better.
In other words, Anelka has done a better job of attracting defense and running to help his teammates pull space, and at the same time. s door is more efficient.
The former is not only about personal ability and play, but also has a lot to do with Manchester City ’s tactics. In simple terms, Manchester City ’s tactics require every player to keep running. As Anelka, as a striker, he must naturally participate in the tactical system. . And his continuous running in front will make Chelsea's defense a headache. In addition, Anelka is also Manchester City's 'most threatening player', so defensive players will pay attention to him, so he can attract more defense. This It also creates more space and opportunities for other Manchester City players.
Another point is the direct s-gate efficiency.
This is entirely an individual play. Anelka scored 2 goals in 4 s goals, and Drogba also scored in 4 s goals, but so far there are still no results.
This is the difference between the performance of the two.
If Drogba has the efficiency of Anelka. Then the current score may be another situation.
Mourinho sighed with emotion.
When he came to Chelsea three years ago, he desperately needed an efficient center, so he chose Drogba, who is a "big man", but now he secretly regrets it.
Drogba is also good, but if you can have a more efficient Anelka, maybe these three years will change.
But now ... late.

Manchester City coach.
Wan Sheng sat steadily with a smile on his face.
He did not know what Mourinho was thinking, but the game was proceeding according to his ‘plan’.
Few people before the game can think that Manchester City will choose to play hard against Chelsea at home.
That's right, it's hard work.
Manchester City's past style of play. It is the control of football, plus the intention to make a fast break to fight for opportunities. There are not many times to really fight hard, but this game. Manchester City did so. They completely let go of a full game with Chelsea. The two teams were fighting fiercely and fighting each other. In this direct collision, the key to winning or losing is not tactical cooperation. It lies in the overall strength and presence of the two teams.
Some professionals saw Manchester City playing like this, and the first time they felt the victory would be Chelsea, because Chelsea's overall strength is stronger.
Compared to the lineup, Manchester City is also very good, but considering every position in Chelsea, it is a star with a value of more than 10 million dollars and a straight year. Manchester City is the majority of young players. The starting lineup also includes veterans such as Beckham. , Heading hard together, Manchester City will never have any advantage at all.
In the game, it can also be seen that Chelsea is dominant.
The two teams have similar ball control rates, but considering that some of Manchester City's ball possessions are in the backcourt, Chelsea still played a lot of advantages. The number of threats to the goal can also explain this, but the current score has subverted the situation-Manchester City 4 : 2 lead!
Manchester City is more efficient!
Anyone can see this, and as Manchester City's coach, Wan Sheng is not surprised.
why?
After upgrading the ‘s skill’, the coaching skill has almost doubled the ability in front of the goal. If it is not more efficient than Chelsea, it really means the team ’s condition is extremely poor.
So Wansheng didn't have any worries about this, and the whole game was under control.
The current situation is to think well before the game. This is the confidence in their own team, and it also stems from the confidence in the football training master.
It is estimated that Mourinho and those media will think that it is the gap between players playing or the ability of forward players, but in fact, Wan Sheng will not tell them.
In fact, Wansheng did this, but not for 'experimental' coaching skills.
That makes no sense.
In this game, in addition to trying to "do not lose" to ensure the team's undefeated, the more important purpose is to highlight the ability of forward players.
The most important thing is-Nicola Anelka!
Anelka will almost certainly leave at the end of the season, so highlighting his ability now can also give confidence to those 'buyers' and make them crazier hope that this outstanding French serie, Anelka's worth It will also increase a lot.
This is the main purpose.
The goal seems to be achieved, four-foot s goal, two goals, this kind of personal ability, high efficiency in front of the door, and a famous player, how many can be found in the world?
Now there is just one!
After this game, those clubs that offer Anelka will definitely be more willing to increase the price.
Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

After Anelka scored the second goal, the score became 4: 2, Manchester City led by two goals, with only 10 minutes left, there was basically no suspense in the game.
In addition, it is very important that the outcome of the game is of no significance to Chelsea.
So by this time, Chelsea players have no spirit of hard work, and there are not many fans watching the away game. They do n’t have to fight for ‘ten minutes without meaning and hope.’
So the final time between the two sides was much more peaceful, the fight was less, the offense was less targeted, and the threat in front of the door was also smaller.
In the final time, football spends more time rolling around the center line. Both players are involved in the competition, but many players run much less.
Everyone knows that the game has entered ‘garbage’ time.
In the end, with the referee blowing the whistle, the match ended and Manchester City defeated Chelsea 4: 2 at home.
"The game is over and Manchester City wins 4: 2!"
"The league has passed 37 rounds, they have maintained 37 rounds of unbeaten, this is really an amazing result!"
"There is only one round left, and there is only one round left. As long as they persist, they will usher in the great glory of the 38 rounds of the season! In history, this glory has only been achieved by ac Milan and Arsenal, and Manchester City will have a chance Add the name of your team! "
In the cry of Berbat, many Manchester City fans were also excited, they shouted in the stands-
"Undefeated! Undefeated!"
"Undefeated season! Manchester City are undefeated!"
They shouted excitedly, just like Manchester City won another league title.
In this atmosphere, Wan Sheng also walked over and shook hands with Mourinho, both of them looked at each other with a smile, as if they were old friends, but in fact, the eyes of both of them exuded an unfriendly taste. .
In England, their confrontation is not over.
Just half a month later, in mid-May, Manchester City and Chelsea will also play against each other at the New Wembley Stadium to compete for the 2006-07 FA Cup crown.

After the game, many media reported that Manchester City's '37 round 'was undefeated, and only one opponent left in front of Manchester City-Tottenham Hotspur.
This is an away game.
Although Tottenham are at home, but looking back on the process of Tottenham and Manchester City, no one thinks that Tottenham can beat Manchester City and prevent their season from being undefeated.
"Tottenham has no reason to fight Manchester City ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and there is no reason to stop Manchester City."
"Even if they want to do this, it will be difficult to do."
These two reasons have led many people to believe that Manchester City can create a great season unbeaten. Just like the last round was 'irrelevant' to Chelsea, the last round was meaningless to Tottenham. They are all ready to enjoy a rare holiday, and have no intention of dealing with meaningless wars.
In addition, even if Tottenham want to stop Manchester City, it is difficult to evaluate their past performances against Manchester City.
"Perhaps this game will be a warm-up before Manchester City and Chelsea." The match was three days before the FA Cup final. "This warm-up will also make Manchester City better."
"Manchester Stadium" is not without irony.
