Chapter 418 Like Chelsea

"With that group of kids, they will get nothing this season."

"If we have eleven people on the court after the game, then the victory must belong to us

"0 is not a fair score. If we look at it according to our performance, it should be 0

"This is a young team. Ye Qiu is also a very excellent head coach, but he is not omnipotent, but I still believe that under his leadership, these young children have little problem relegation in the Premier League this season. Even if they are now ranked 15th in the Premier League, they are only one step away from the relegation zone."

"The main reason why Tottenham Hotspur was able to win the League Cup is very simple. They are willing to fight for this trophy, and we have to keep our strength in the Premier League and the Champions League. So, that's not a fair game, Tottenham Hotspur won the lucky one."

"In the last round of the league, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, we will definitely beat Tottenham Hotspur"

Surprisingly, what was heard in the away team's locker room of Stamford Bridge Stadium was the voice of home team Chelsea coach Mourinho. Through editing, his arrogance and rebellious voice spread in the away team's locker room, making every Tottenham Hotspur player present feel unhappy when he heard it.

This recording collected almost most of the quotations of Mourinho's evaluation of Tottenham Hotspur this season, and all selected passages with very obvious provocative tone, and finally formed a recording that was only less than five minutes long but easily annoying.

That Portuguese was so crazy that it made people feel uncomfortable when they heard his voice

After listening to the recording, Ye Qiu looked at his players silently. He knew very well that this group of players had a very bad impression of Mourinho for a long time. There is no need to say more about the four players who transferred from Chelsea, Ribery, Van Persie, Fabregas and Messi, who also had a bad impression of him.

A very important reason is that Mourinho's mouth is too poisonous and seems to feel like he is holding Tottenham Hotspurs. He has to say a few words about Tottenham Hotspur almost every round, especially when the team performed poorly in the first half, he is not stingy in the slightest way to pull in the wrong.

Ye Qiu broadcasts such a recording at this time to remind all players that the team has finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

"I think we have emphasized too much about the competition in the past week, and we have trained a lot, so there is no need to say much now, but I hope that after listening to this recording, each of you will think about our experiences over the past year, and then think about what we are facing now."

"We have experienced doubts, even criticisms, we have experienced troughs, and we are even close to being relegated. We have reached today step by step by step by step by step by step by opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The visiting team's locker room was so quiet that only Ye Qiu's voice was left. Ye Qiu had already made complete preparations for the preparations before the game and the final mobilization, and even the time was just right. This is a capability that any head coach must possess.

"Jose Mourinho, Chelsea's head coach, at the beginning of the season, he said, you are a bunch of bullshit kids, relying on you, I can't win anything, but three months ago, we defeated Chelsea and won the League Cup, but he was not convinced, he said it was unfair because he didn't do his best."

Ye Qiu said this and sneered, "I am very strange. I like to do everything well. He feels unwilling to accept the League Cup final. Well, this game, at Stamford Bridge, is related to their championship title this season. He should do his best, right? Then we are here, and defeat them in this game."

Ye Qiu shook his head again, with a sneer and sarcastic tone, "I don't believe that our Mr. Jose Mourinho will be so generous that he can even refuse the league championship. I don't believe that he has any excuses and reasons for this game."

"I once said that if Chelsea's biggest goal this season is to win four consecutive Premier League titles, then our biggest goal this season is to stop them from winning the championship. God has given us such a chance. We stopped them in the League Cup, and in the Champions League, they also missed. Now, we will beat them in the league again."

"After this season, I really want to see a Chelsea team that can't win anything, and we have at least a League Cup championship. I'm looking forward to seeing the Portuguese expression at that time. I believe everyone present is the same as me."

When he said this, Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief and shook his head, "This is not a battle of revenge, it is a battle to rectify our team, accord our own names, and prove to everyone that we are young, but we have the ability to win everything. Any team that doubts us will have only one end."

"Same as Chelsea"

Before the game, the radio at Stamford Bridge Stadium played exciting and exciting music. This method is usually used at home to arouse the emotions and enthusiasm of the fans on the scene. For many people, this is the biggest difference between the scene and sitting in front of the TV.

It's like you're playing a DVD at home, and you'll never feel the atmosphere of sitting in a cinema watching a movie

More importantly, the mood is getting better, but the mood is still uneasy, because in this game they are playing against Tottenham Hotspur led by Ye Qiu, and they are also very clear that Tottenham Hotspur's strength is not bad, and more importantly, they have an outstanding head coach.

Chelsea fans know more about Ye Qiu's coaching ability and tactical ability, so they are so uneasy.

Because Carvalho was sent off with a red card in the last round of Arsenal, Chelsea's main central defender will be adjusted in this game, but it may be that considering that the central defender Ridley King Kong, who was introduced from Tottenham Hotspur this season, has just returned from a long injury, Mourinho did not arrange for him to start, but let Dutch central defender Bolarus partner Terry.

Goalkeeper Hillaryo, Ashley Cole, Bolarus, Terry and Ferreira, the midfielder dragged and defended the midfielder, Marklele, Barack, Deco and Essin were in the front, Lampard played as the midfielder, and Drogba was standing alone in front, and the overall formation should be 413ll, which is a change in the 44 tactics.

Mourinho has tried 44 many times in the past two seasons, but he used a double striker combination between Shevchenko and Drogba, but the effect was not ideal, so over time, he gradually threw it away. The next 44 is a combination of Drogba and a speed-type wing assaulter, but Mourinho did not choose wing assault in this game.

If we simply look at the current lineup, Chelsea seems to be playing in the midfield and use this group of powerful midfield men to hang Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield. Just when everyone thought that Chelsea would consider its own strong defense and weak offense and adopt a defensive counterattack tactic, Mourinho did the opposite.

Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup is not surprising. At present, this team has a complete lineup of main players, with goalkeepers Peter Cech, defense lines being Vargas, Hangland, Thiago Silva and Alves, midfielders being Beckham, Mascherano and Fabregas, and the front trident is still a combination of Ribery, Fanny and Messi.

Among the main lineups of both sides, except for Carvalho, who was suspended due to the red card in the last round, almost all of them were on the market.

But Tottenham Hotspur, who was originally best at opening the game, was suppressed by Chelsea, who played at home after the opening.

Less than 30 seconds into the opening game, Chelsea's midfielder Deco made a long pass over the top. Drogba quickly passed through Tottenham's defense line and stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, which shocked Tottenham's sweat from the top, but followed closely behind, Chelsea's back row did not have time to follow.

Drogba took the ball in front alone and leaned against Hangland with his body. He was forced into the corner kick area by Hangland and Vargas. He had no choice but to kick the ball on Hangland, out of bounds and earned a corner kick.

"Chelsea's opening has a very intention to beat the mountain and tiger. We will first hit you with a warning at the beginning, so that you can know that this is my home court and my territory, and it will also shock you. But is Mourinho's starting lineup a little biased towards the middle lane? Or, in other words, towards defense?"

Deco sent a corner kick, Terry headed the ball high from the middle, and the goal kick was shot.

But when Cech sent the goal, Terry quickly pushed back. Drogba still took the ball in the frontcourt and did it back. Lampard followed up and attracted the attention of the defensive players and distributed it to Barack, who directly shot a long shot.

All Chelsea fans in the game exclaimed. Barack's long shot was a bit far away, but the quality was very high. However, Cech's position was very stable, and Barack's long shot seemed to hit Cech's arms directly.

Perhaps affected by the two consecutive waves of offensives after Chelsea's opening, Tottenham Hotspur was also ready to play a fast break this time. Cech threw the ball directly to the unguarded Beckham. The latter turned around and passed it with a long pass, accurately landing in the rear of Chelsea. Ribery quickly surpassed Ferreira and chased after him, but this time Hillaryo rushed out of the penalty area early and snatched Ribery, clearing the ball with one foot.

The two sides started with each other and played very quickly, and the ball rights were converted very quickly. Often, the ball rights were continuously converted within one minute, and no one could grasp the ball control. From the scene, Chelsea did not adopt the kind of contraction defense predicted by the outside world in this game, but adopted midfield suppression.

Ye Qiu was a little surprised about Chelsea's tactics, but he didn't think there was anything strange about it. Whether it was Marklele, Barack, Essin, Lampard, or even Drogba in the frontcourt, they were all typical muscular men, who could run, rush, attack, and defend, especially Essin, who had outstanding running skills.

With such a strong muscle group accumulated in the midfield, Mourinho's choice to shrink his defense is too disadvantageous. Instead, he should expand the defense area. On the one hand, he fills in the problem of disconnection between the front and back courts encountered in the League Cup final, shortens the distance between Drogba and the midfield, and ensures the quality of the team's back-inserting offense. On the other hand, he can also suppress Beckham and Fabregas.

Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt trident has a distinct characteristic. Van Nie is very upright because he has to get close to the penalty area to perform the effect. Ribery and Messi are also more upside down because to play the passes of Beckham and Fabregas, they have to hit the opponent's two sides at the first time, so they cannot shrink too far.

But now Chelsea adopts the strategy of strangling the middle lane, suppressing Beckham and Fabregas and curbing their passes is equivalent to cutting the connection between Tottenham Hotspur's forward line and the midfield, especially for Beckham, who has long passes, it spares no effort to curb.

"After the opening, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was a bit messy." Andy Gray was a little surprised by such a scene, because he and everyone thought that Tottenham Hotspur, who is good at attack, would dominate the game, but from the scene, Chelsea seemed to have the initiative.

However, Chelsea's offensive threat is not very high, because their main attack methods are now two. One is to look for Drogba, play tactical fulcrum and back-insert, and the other is to look for Ashley Cole to open the width of the wing.

For the former, the triangle area formed by Thiago Silva, Hangland, and Mascherano firmly restricted Drogba's performance. It was difficult to find Drogba even many balls passed to the frontcourt. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur's defensive area did not shrink back in this game, which made Chelsea's offense seem proactive, but could only shoot long shots.

Perhaps there are indeed many long-range shot experts in Chelsea, but that depends on what circumstances. If they frequently enter the 30-meter area like they are now, no matter whether there is a chance or not, they will take the opportunity as soon as they seize the opportunity. The quality of long-range shots in this way cannot be high.

"Chelsea made five shots after the opening, but they were all long shots. Only Barack's first shot hit the goal straight, and all the others missed. Tottenham Hotspur's overall position and layout were very orderly, and they were very reasonable in their mutual defense. Therefore, once Chelsea's offense enters the 30-meter area, it is difficult to cooperate effectively."

"Originally Mourinho should have another option, which is Ashley Cole's left side, but Ashley Cole's desire to attack in front of this game is not very strong. Perhaps this has something to do with Messi's position being higher."

Andy Gray said this and said with emotion, "Tottenham's current offense is a bit beyond the limit of distance. With a long passer like Beckham who has accurate long-distance passes, coupled with a Fabregas who is equally excellent in both long passes and short passes, Tottenham is not worried about the disconnection between the frontcourt and the midfield."

"Yes," Richard Keith nodded in agreement. "For Tottenham Hotspur, there is no big problem with disconnection. As long as three frontcourt players can restrain the opponent's defense, as long as they can run out of opportunities, and midfielders can also have the chance to take the ball, it can form a threat."

"This is also the reason why Chelsea's defense line, especially Ashley Cole's side, dare not push up boldly. Tottenham Hotspur's personal abilities in the frontcourt Trident, especially Ribery and Messi's ability to get the ball is very strong. As long as the ball reaches their feet, it can often create a threat."

Andy Gray also supported his partner's analysis, "The situation is a bit chaotic now. Both sides are still adapting to the opponent's tactics and are still exploring how to break the deadlock set by the opponent. To break the deadlock is nothing more than two methods, tactical adjustments, or the player's personal performance."

Richard Kees smiled and shook his head, "But it's obvious that both sides are familiar with each other and have a thorough study of each other. This is a game without any secrets. I believe that all tactical adjustments are under the control of the head coaches of both sides, and there will be no big surprises."

"If Mourinho wants to make changes, he should replace the winger and strengthen the attack on the wing. Tottenham Hotspur also has many choices, such as Yaya Toure, this Ivorian player is very strong, has excellent ball and ball protection ability, and is also very good at passing. He is a very distinctive player.

"There is another one that should be Dutch striker Van Persie. We have all noticed that Tottenham Hotspur has several games this season, especially in the League Cup. Van Persie performed well after starting, and his range of activities is larger than Van NY. But in such an important game, no one knows how much Van Persie can play."

Just as the two commentators were analyzing, they saw that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder finally made a gap. Beckham and Mascherano collided back and forth to fight against the wall. Beckham suddenly retreated to the front of the defense line, and after getting the ball, he directly passed with a diagonal pass.

Messi quickly inserted on the right. After getting the ball, he faced the attack from Bolaruze and Ashley Cole who were chasing back. He was very agile in the clamping defense between the two people, and protected the ball and brought it out. However, after the straight pass through the penalty area, Terry grabbed Van Nicht and directly cleared the ball.

"Wow, Argentine's small winger Messi is indeed very good at ball control. This season, Tottenham Hotspur was completely activated by Ye Qiu. His performance was very eye-catching. When he played against Everton, he also performed an amazing performance of five consecutive wins. He was called Maradona II, and he was becoming more and more confident when he took the ball and dribbled the ball."

Andy Gray was clearly impressed by Messi.

"A small player has a very advantageous feature, which is that he has a low center of gravity and a flexible body. In addition, Messi's feet are skillful and delicate, and his speed changes are very random, which makes all the defensive players who meet him have a headache because you don't know how he will play next. It's like Bolarus blocked the position just now, but Messi suddenly stopped and spiked you over." Richard Kees was also amazed at this.

Since five players played a winning goal, Messi's performance has become more and more confident, more mature, and has made great progress.

"Let's see, Tottenham Hotspur just made a threatening attack, and this time Chelsea is going to counterattack." Andy Gray obviously saw that after the clearance just now, Chelsea was still a little slow to stabilize the situation, and now it has suddenly accelerated.

"Marklele took the ball and passed it to Deco. Deco led it forward and passed it again, Drogba, turn around."
