Some people say that a football game is a bit like guessing each other for a head coach.

To a certain extent, this is absolutely true. At least Ye Qiu and Mourinho are guessing each other's thoughts, and at the same time try not to step into each other's trap.

If for Chelsea, what they most want to see is of course Tottenham Hotspur pressed directly and played, so it will be difficult to maintain an orderly overall formation. But for Tottenham Hotspur, it must not be so stupid, but use the mid- and backcourt control of the ball to let Chelsea push it out.

Since the head coaches of both sides arranged the starting lineup for this game, they have actually set a tone for this game, just like Chelsea. The starting lineup for this game is to hit the high-intensity pressure on the frontcourt, so for this way of playing, Mourinho has played a group of muscle men.

This kind of playing style is not without effect, but there is a danger, that is, time is not good for them.

There is no need to say much about the power of the strangled midfielder, but the problem is that when the pressure on the frontcourt is pressed, the players' sprint and running distances in a game are higher than ordinary formations and tactics, and the physical energy consumption will be even more serious. Once the first half is at the end of the first half and the end of the second half, this lack of physical fitness will be exposed more obviously.

Ye Qiu liked to open the game when he coached Chelsea, so he considered this.

Tottenham Hotspur is also a very weird team. In other words, whether it is Chelsea, Manchester United, or even all other teams, they will feel a headache when they encounter teams like Tottenham Hotspur, especially when Tottenham Hotspur is performing well, they will almost fall into a dilemma.

The midfield pass combination of Beckham and Fabregas, although neither of them is good at controlling the ball, they are both good at passing, especially Beckham, whose long pass accuracy is even more outrageous. Therefore, Tottenham does not mind pushing the front line at all, because as long as they have the chance, they are sure to pass the ball out.

At the same time, in order to cope with Chelsea's midfield pressure, Tottenham Hotspur's formation was tightened and dragged behind, Beckham, Mascherano, Thiago Silva, Hangland, Alves, Vargas, and even Fabregas formed his own rigorous pass-and-receive coordination system in the entire midfield and backcourt.

In this system, except Hangland, every other player has a very good ability to stop and pass. Moreover, through the training and training of tacit understanding in the past year, they have always been at a relatively reasonable distance and range between each other. In this case, it is very difficult for Chelsea to intercept the ball.

To limit Tottenham Hotspur's ball control at this position, the strength to be put into the front court must be enough, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur's front trident is in front. Not to mention that the defense line is dragged down, even if Marklele is left on the side, three to five, Chelsea's defense line is still not safe, because Tottenham Hotspur's two sides are inserted very fast.

After conceding the first goal, Ye Qiu made adjustments and saw that Chelsea did not have a wing attack, so he directly shrank the full-back to the middle when defending, ensuring the middle defense, and giving up the wing, because I know you don’t have a winger.

If Mourinho wants to adjust according to normal circumstances, should he be a winger?

In fact, in the second half, Mourinho saw that the team was not attacking well, and he really wanted to go to the winger, but Tottenham Hotspur had a very disgusting move, which was that when Duff went to warm up, Aveloya also went out to warm up.

Mourinho did not choose to substitution in the end because he knew that his substitution had been plotted by the opponent, and Ye Qiu must have calculated that he would switch to the winger, so he deliberately asked Aveloya to warm up. He also had to consider another point, that is, if the winger was replaced, who would be replaced?

The defense line must not be moved. Now that the four defenses are three, the pressure is already very high. If you replace someone, it won’t be equivalent to creating a goal opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur?

So what about the midfield?

No matter who is replaced, it will cause the pressure of Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt to decline, and it will definitely lead to the rebound of Tottenham Hotspur's offense. Tottenham Hotspur now seems to be a tightly pressed spring. Chelsea can only keep trying their best to press it tightly, because once you release it, it will rebound immediately, and the tighter you press, the greater its rebound force will be.

To talk about Tottenham Hotspur, this team is not without weaknesses, such as overall offensive, and even full-backs are actively involved in offensive style, so their attack power is very strong, but the defense on the wing is relatively weak.

Originally, Chelsea had a covetous group of wingers, Duff, Wright Phillips, Allen Lennon, Quaresma, etc. If these wingers were used to attack Tottenham Hotspur's wing, this should achieve certain results, but the problem is that once the winger is on, the midfield cannot be guaranteed to be suppressed.

In this way, the final result is likely to completely turn the game into an offensive battle, which is undoubtedly unfavorable for Chelsea, because Chelsea's offensive ability cannot be said to be inferior to Tottenham Hotspur, but at least it is not as rich as Tottenham Hotspur and so threatening.

The difficulties Mourinho is facing now are a bit similar to the dilemma when Ye Qiu met Benitez. It is difficult for him to make a choice, because no matter any choice, it may break the current situation.

But the problem is that if you don’t make a choice, Marklele’s physical fitness is no longer enough, and the physical fitness of other players in the midfield may not last long. This does not mean that they will consume cramps or can’t run, but that when the physical energy is consumed to a certain extent, the speed will decrease and the technical movements will distort, which is very dangerous at that time.

Since the second half, both sides continued the stalemate of most of the first half, and no news came from the other three games. It seemed that the score had not changed much, but in the end, Mourinho chose to substitute after entering the seventy minutes.

Jocole replaced Marklele, and Essin was arranged by Mourinho to drag him back to defend.

Joe Kerr has indeed been valued in the past two years when Mourinho coached Chelsea. Although his role is more of a substitute, his performance is very good. Mourinho obviously relies more on him than Ye Qiushi.

This time, he was arranged to play at such an important moment, which also reflected Mourinho's trust in him. Joe Kerr had a wonderful performance after taking the bench in the past, so his appearance immediately received applause from the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium.

The live footage also captured that in the VIp box, Abramovich also gave Jokol's appearance, while the Russians stood beside his close friend Pini Zahavi, and the club's technical director Grant.

"At this time, Joe Cole should be the one who needs to strengthen the ball points in the frontcourt and further strengthen the offense." Grant stood aside and was responsible for explaining the head coach's intentions to Abramovich, which is also his role in many times.

"Look, Ye Qiu seems to be adjusting too." Abramovich looked at the front of the visiting team's coaching seat. Ye Qiu seemed to be shouting something at Beckham and making some gestures, but it is estimated that only they themselves can understand the meaning.

In this game, Abramovich's attention was at least half of his attention on Ye Qiu, because he knew Ye Qiu's coaching ability very well. If he was asked to select the biggest and most threatening target in this game, he would definitely choose Ye Qiu.

"He doesn't seem to be planning to substitutions. He may be asking Beckham to drag the ball back and let Mascheranodo pay attention to restricting Joe Cole with Alves. After all, Joe Cole's characteristic is not assault, but getting the ball and passing the ball." Grant certainly knows Chelsea's predicament better than anyone else, that is, there is no one-on-one wing assaulter.

Originally, Ribery and Messi could be good choices, but they were given to Tottenham Hotspur for nothing. Now it is too late to regret it. Whether it is Allen Lennon, Wright Phillips, Duff, the three players have similar styles, that is, they are fast, have strong impact, but their feet are average.

Quaresma is good, but he is too sticky and does not match the team's overall tactics. He has been sent to the cold palace by Mourinho.

Therefore, many times Mourinho can only choose players like Jokore and Kalu. Kalu has been liked by Mourinho this season, but this player has certain extraordinary abilities, but he has always been criticized for handling ball problems.

Many people may have an illusion that people rely more on technology, which is actually a bit prejudiced.

It should be said that observing a player's one-on-one ability depends on his comprehensive ability. No one can guarantee that he can succeed every time he passes, because every time he passes is a combination of multiple comprehensive factors, and among these factors, technology and explosive power are undoubtedly two very important factors.

If you have the skills but no explosive power, you will see that the players are very skilled on the court, shaking back and forth constantly, and skillfully controlling the ball, but they just cannot get rid of the defensive players. If you have the explosive power at this time, when you use technology to create opportunities, a sudden acceleration will directly form an extraordinary person. Such an extraordinary person is the most threatening.

As for the others, whether it is explosive power or skilled, threat and combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

Grant himself can see that many people know the current situation of Chelsea. Sometimes he even thinks that it is absolutely unreasonable to pile up so many wingers but not one of them is good at helping him. But there are some things that he doesn’t have to say much. Protecting oneself is the king. This pool of water is too deep.

"After Jokol went up, the effect didn't seem to be very obvious." Abramovich watched the game silently for a while. Even though he was a layman, he had more or less seen some tricks over the years, and he also felt that after Jokol came on the court, Chelsea's offense did not seem to have improved much.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur seemed to be loosening, with more balls passing to the frontcourt, and the players were also active on the offensive end.

"Ye Qiu is going to replace someone." Pini Zahavi is also paying attention to Ye Qiu.

As soon as Pini Zahavi reminded him, Abramovich immediately looked at the visiting team coach's seat, and saw Ye Qiu whispering something with Van Persie on the sidelines, as if he wanted Van Persie to go up.

"It's time to replace Vanny," Grant speculated.

More than a minute later, taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Van Persie replaced veteran Van Nie in the 76th minute.

Fanny scored a goal to equalize the game for Tottenham Hotspur, which was also his 32nd goal in the Premier League this season. This is also the season with the highest goal efficiency in his career. Many people even say that Tottenham Hotspur this season is a team belonging to Van Nistruei. Without Fanny, Tottenham Hotspur is probably going to relegation.

After the two Dutchmen hugged the sidelines, Van Nie did not forget to slap Ye Qiu when he left the court. After Van Persie came on the court, he rushed forward and warmed up. He ran to the center of the frontcourt line, jumped a few times, and moved his muscles. After Tottenham Hotspur drove the ball out, he ran quickly and actively in front.

"How are the scores in the other games?" Abramovich asked with concern.

Pini Zahavi shook his head and said, "It doesn't change, it seems that he has encountered a dilemma."

Whether it is Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool, the scores have not changed at all. From this point of view, it seems that they have encountered trouble in these games, especially Manchester United, who is 0 behind Fulham. Didn’t Ferguson think about adjusting?

Or is it that Manchester United really played too badly in this game?

Redknapp has been a great show at Portsmouth this season, completely building Pompeii into a competitive team in the Premier League, and also winning recognition himself again. If this game really falls from Manchester United, it will definitely push him to a new peak.

After hearing this news, Abramovich breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that as long as Chelsea could maintain the current score, the championship would be sure to win. He even felt that even if the team played a little more embarrassed next time, it would not matter. If you defend, you should defend. The most important thing is to win the championship.

With four consecutive championships, no team has ever completed the dominance of four consecutive championships in the history of the English Football Top League.

If Chelsea can complete four consecutive championships, it will undoubtedly be a relief, allowing Abramovich to be proud and upright in the London upper class.

While the three were talking, they saw Ashley Cole getting the ball to the midfield on the court. Messi retreated to defend, and the two were entangled, and Fabregas also leaned over immediately. The two attacked Ashley Cole.

Just as the pinch was completed, Ashley Cole fell to the ground and the ball was cut off.

"What's going on? Isn't it a foul?" Abramovich opened his arms and looked terrified.

After seeing the ball intercepted, Fabregas stabbed the ball directly in front. Messi rushed up quickly, continued to drive the ball forward, and rushed directly to the front. At this time, Van Persie was already tangentially towards the middle, and the two of them attacked Bolaruz in front and back.

At this time, all the Chelsea fans in the game were roaring angrily, believing that the referee did not make a penalty for Tottenham Hotspur's foul, and at the same time, they were also panicked by Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack directly after intercepting the ball.

Bolaruz faced Messi and Van Persie behind him. He was hesitating and waiting for Messi and Van Persie to do the moves. Because it is two-on-one now, he can only choose to passively parry and has no way to take the initiative to block it.

Van Persie pointed in front of him behind Bolaruz, and saw Messi suddenly pass the ball behind Bolaruz, while Van Persie rushed past Bolaruz quickly, and after getting the ball, he directly shot with a powerful left foot.

Hillaryo was powerless to do anything about this shot, because it was not only because Van Persie's shooting was very fast and powerful, but also because he had no time to react and could only stand there, and he couldn't even make a save move.

But just when everyone thought the ball would enter and the Chelsea fans had already screamed in surprise, they heard a bang, and the ball passed over goalkeeper Hillaryo's head and hit the crossbar.

Van Persie was determined to win such a shot, but he never expected that he would hit the crossbar.

The whole audience let out a huge shout, obviously all the Chelsea fans were relieved. If this ball was entered, Chelsea's situation would be in trouble.

Mourinho kept roaring at the players on the sidelines, especially Ashley Cole, who concedes the ball. He felt that the latter was a bit sticky and should not insist on dribbling the ball at this time, but should pass it out as soon as possible.

Abramovich also breathed in the VIp box, feeling a little bit like a survivor. Since the beginning of this game, he has always felt a terrified feeling, because Tottenham Hotspur will suddenly give you a threatening attack from time to time, scaring you and making your heart beat faster.

"Boraluz's weakness is still too obvious," Grant said casually.

But this made Abramovich's face darker, because if we look at the current Chelsea lineup, the central defender cannot be ranked as Bolarus. But the problem is that the central defender Ridley King, who was introduced for 30 million euros this season, has not played five games so far this season, and many others are recovering from injuries.

Everyone kept mocking and sarcasticating Chelsea, as if it was a truth to mock Real Madrid for introducing Woodgate.

Now Abramovich felt uncomfortable when he heard Grant's casual words, because if Ridley King had not been injured, he would have been able to start, and perhaps this moment would not have been as dangerous as it is now.

However, just when Abramovich was not feeling very happy, Ye Qiu off the court saw some clues. He realized that the physical fitness of Chelsea players had been almost exhausted, so now is the best time for Tottenham Hotspur to counterattack.

Just saw Tottenham Hotspur holding the ball, the team's overall formation was pressing forward. Anyone could see that Tottenham Hotspur had already made a counterattack and strengthened the frontcourt offense.

And this scene made all fans of the Stamford Bridge panic
