Section 46? The golden monkey rises up (Act 1: Rock)
Wang Ai, who was on the bench, was naturally aware of the cameras that glanced at him from time to time. Not only was the big screen on the court reminding him, but Huang Jianxiang's encouraging text messages before the game also made him feel the expectations from domestic fans. Wider
Yes, managers from the more than 30 advertising endorsement brands he carries are also eager for his good performance to use it to boost performance.
Although Wang Ai was calm on the surface, the fire in his heart was always burning vigorously.
Similarly, both sides on the court basically know each other well. Not only does the current coaching staff of Porto still have Jose's assistant, last season Porto also defeated the team led by the former coach. After Jose took away Carvalho, Ferreira
While waiting for others, it also deeply stimulated the other players who stayed on the team: Why don't you take me to Chelsea to earn rubles? Where did I go wrong? And newcomers such as Pepe and others can feel Mourinho everywhere.
I'm not convinced by the traces it left for Porto.
Chelsea is not the best team in Europe, but it must be the richest, or at least the team most willing to spend money. Playing Chelsea to get in the spirit is also a kind of self-promotion for players in Europe's second-tier leagues.
So as soon as the game started, it entered an intense stage of head-on fighting. Chelsea was strict in discipline, unyielding, and determined. But few people remember what Porto was like in the past, but their performance on the court was exactly the same as Chelsea today.
So in addition to the smooth opening ten minutes, the game began to be interrupted frequently after that. Players from both sides kept playing tricks, either by diving to fool the referee, or by blocking, tackles, tripping, and even handballs!
The Italian Santis, the referee of this game, not only dares to impose strict penalties on provocations, but also mostly minimizes the problems caused by players' violations. Drogba tripped Cordoba in the penalty area and Gallas made a free throw.
Handballs in the area were ignored. Instead, Robben was caught mumbling after being fouled and given a yellow card.
Amid the din, Jose stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his face stern and his brows furrowed. He couldn't care about the offense for the time being. Under the leadership of Quaresma, McCarthy and others, he was struggling but also appeared skillful.
Attacking his defense line one after another, he spent endless energy on this defensive system to establish himself among the world's famous coaches. Even the lone forward Drogba was called back by him to compete for high ground in the penalty area.
point.
Thanks to Jose's huge charisma and the team's upbeat atmosphere, everyone, including Drogba, obeyed his command. Under the impact of the obviously excited Porto, they were crumbling, but still managed to support.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ai even had a sense of déjà vu when he saw the Chinese team unite as one. No matter how much they were worth or how many honors they had, everyone was doing their best on the field. At this time, no one cared about salary or good image.
Bad, this is a battle of will and courage, and it is also a typical Jose style battle. Maybe these players do not have much sense of belonging to Chelsea, nor do they have the emotional appeal brought by the honors accumulated by the century-old giants.
However, the emergence of Jose made up for the lack of team culture and history. With a real idol worthy of respect and following, the energy of these powerful professional players has a unified direction of efforts.
The suffocating game finally entered halftime after Santis' whistle. Chelsea people, including Wang Ai, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The locker room was peaceful, and everyone was resting tiredly. Occasionally they opened their eyes to drink some water or to see who came in. Jose didn't say much, but the other party caused him a lot of trouble, such as freezing his wings.
Fei, he now needs players who can flexibly dribble and create opportunities in the opponent's defense system.
Lampard's presence, to a certain extent, masks Chelsea's lack of opportunity creation in the frontcourt. Because he often doesn't need to create opportunities carefully and shoots before reaching the most crowded penalty area. This is also why he is a midfielder.
The reason why players can often land on the Premier League scorer list.
But the problem does exist after all. Once the personnel gather and come forward to harass Lampard, making it impossible for him to start calmly, the offense will be blocked and the problem will be amplified. At the same time, from the perspective of other personnel arrangements, Robben and
Duff has speed and dribbling, but lacks creativity. Drogba and Crespo have body and diligence, but also lack creativity. As a result, Chelsea will fall into a difficult positional battle in attack.
Mourinho is obsessed with defensive counterattacks, so he has chosen fast wingers such as Duff, Robben, Joe Cole, and Wright. If the opponent is attracted, the opportunity will come. On the contrary, if the opponent cannot survive, there are still opponents.
He is familiar enough with his opponent and carefully arranges his troops, and the difficulty of Chelsea's game will skyrocket.
After returning from the second half, the two sides exchanged venues. The game situation remained the same as before, with both sides deploying heavy troops in their own half. With the addition of the home court role of the Dragon Stadium, Porto obviously has great experience in attacking Chelsea's defensive system, and at the same time, they are not stingy in defense.
Give the former coach a good look. The fouls and yellow cards of both sides are evenly divided. In terms of utility and inferiority, they are brothers from the same school. The boss, let alone the second brother!
In the 70th minute of the second half, two more yellow cards were given to Chelsea, which showed that Chelsea was gradually exhausted due to the long-term and high-cost defense.
The serious Mourinho seemed to have gradually given up the intention of winning away from home and withdrew most of his troops. But just when everyone thought that this game would be a fierce but not exciting game and would end with 0:0, why?
Sai's crazy nature is revealed once again!
If he could be so conservative, he wouldn't be the crazy Jose. If he could bow his head and admit defeat, he wouldn't be the crazy Jose. If he could make you guess, he wouldn't be the crazy Jose! Especially after being stimulated by the speeches from Porto before the game.
.
It's hard for Jose to say anything to his old club, but he is a typical petty and vindictive person. He has long been prepared to step on his old club's face and pledge his allegiance to the new club. Last season, he lost to Porto in an away game, and many tabloids speculated
He showed mercy to his old club and used the new club's money to lick his old club's face.
Pooh!
After Robben received the yellow card, he was quickly replaced by Wright. A few minutes later, another winger, Duff, who had been struggling for a long time and could not make any achievements, also showed his physical exhaustion. Mourinho looked back at him from the sidelines.
Bench, index finger extended.
The cameras of multiple TV stations followed Mourinho's index finger and saw the person who had been silent on the bench for more than two months, No. 13 from China!
