When Jose was holding back his energy to overthrow Manchester United and had a pleasant drink with his old rival and old friend after the game, the seasoned Ferguson also hoped to treat the arrogant young Portuguese to a pleasant drink at his home stadium.
. Jose specifically talked to Sheva and Wang Ai before the game, urging the two to put aside their prejudices and support each other during the game. He obtained their superficial agreement and prevented the most serious rift within the powerful Chelsea from breaking out in this game.
At the same time as the collapse, Ferguson anticipated that Jose might go all out in the formation, and thus formulated highly targeted measures.
In the past three years, Wang Ai has gradually established his aura on the court: offensive versatility. The "Guardian"'s evaluation of him has gradually gained the consensus of the Premier League. He has made up for all his offensive shortcomings with diligence.
So much so that whether it is his will, confrontation, speed, dribbling, shooting, or free kicks, he is outstanding. He is even too good in all aspects, but compared with players who are particularly outstanding in one aspect, he seems to be "mediocre". Now it has been
No one knows what his real football talent is anymore. Looking at it, almost every offensive skill is the best.
Gradually, no matter which team faces Wang Ai, they will subconsciously list his direction as the key defensive direction. As long as they can resolve or withstand his attack, the team has hope of winning. And if they dare to let it go
He, he dares to show you a satellite!
And Ferguson, after studying Chelsea for more than two seasons and Wang Ai for three seasons, made bold arrangements for this game.
At 16:15 on the evening of the 27th, the match between Manchester United and Chelsea was in full swing. The fighting spirit of both sides was raised to the top, and the confrontation was extremely fierce. In the first 15 minutes, the referee issued 8 verbal warnings.
Jose, who was standing solemnly on the sidelines of Old Trafford with his hands in his pockets, couldn't help but take the opportunity to observe the situation in the backcourt and glance at the Scotsman chewing gum. This guy likes to chew cud like an ungulate.
It looks extremely disgusting! However, this old guy is really difficult to deal with. He discovered a weakness that I didn't even notice.
What Ferguson arranged for Jose today was a method that he did not expect, and that even most people did not expect. Facing the English Footballer of the Year last season, the leading scorer this season, and the omnipotent Wiwi,
Ferguson did not adopt the common measures to strengthen defense, but bucked the trend and sent Giggs, Scholes and Ronaldo to attack the powerful wiwi on the left of Chelsea. Especially behind wiwi, England international Ah
Shrikohl this.
Now Ashley Cole is in trouble. After the game against Tottenham, he complained about the referee Cole. The FA is still going through the process. It is said that he will be subject to additional penalties. It has not been decided yet, so he is
The defense on the court was a little timid.
Usually the winger has to help defend the full-back. It's not that Wang Ai doesn't help defend, it's just that his tactical positioning is to be a counterattack vanguard, so his defensive position is usually in front and behind the center line, instead of being anxious like Drogba.
When the opponent is ready, he retreats to the goal and becomes a defender. Therefore, there is a loophole in the full-back behind Wang Ai. When the opponent is frightened by Wang Ai's terrifying lethality and can only focus on defense, of course there is no problem, even Ashley
Cole could often intervene, but when the veteran Ferguson did the opposite, he inserted himself in the middle of Chelsea's left wing.
Just in time for Ashley Cole to be timid!
Ferguson took into account various situations on and off the field, and Chelsea's left wing was immediately cut into two sections. Wang Ai in the front could not get timely support from the rear, Ashley Cole in the rear was under siege, and Wang Ai was under siege.
Ai was hesitant. Of course, if he wanted to go back, it would not be ineffective. At least it would be possible to assume a transition point between the ball release point and the transfer point. However, this would lengthen the distance for him to counterattack, which is not suitable for his role.
Although his court positioning was "earned" from Jose with his performance on the court and was also the product of the compromise between the master and apprentice, Jose's failure to give the order at this time was related to the entire Chelsea offensive and defensive strategy. Since Wang Ai himself
Unexpectedly, Jose didn't give the order immediately, so he didn't know what to do.
Jose was also hesitant, and then he called Lampard and Ballack during the timeout, especially Ballack, hoping that he would often retreat to the left, connect with Ashley Cole, and then pass the ball forward.
, he will assume the responsibility of a transfer station, connecting Chelsea's front and back fields on the left.
This compromise method subsequently effectively relieved the pressure on Ashley Cole, but it slowed down the advancement on the left and greatly increased the pressure on the center.
Manchester United is extremely strong this season. Different from previous seasons where they started late and started slowly, this year's Manchester United has made the best start in the history of the Premier League. It has entered the "winning moment" from the beginning of the league. This is a lesson learned.
The experience of the past two seasons, especially Chelsea's experience, has widened the gap with their opponents from the beginning. This has also brought both sides into a situation where there is no retreat and they must face the cut.
The "weakness" measures against Chelsea's left wing or against Wang Ai don't stop there. At Old Trafford, Manchester United's refereeing advantage has always been clear. Whenever Wang Ai gets the ball and advances at high speed, there is always a full-back or defender.
The waist vigorously interfered with Wang Ai.
Wang Ai's physical advantage, which stands out among his Asian counterparts, is not obvious in front of the Manchester United defender who advocates iron-bloodedness and is temporarily inspired by Ferguson, so that it becomes extremely difficult for Wang Ai to advance to the penalty area. At the same time, Ash
With Ricoeur unable to come up, Ballack has to shoulder the transfer responsibility again, which reduces Chelsea's support in the middle.
As for the two forwards in front, they were in a tough fight.
Of course, Jose was not merciful either. Saha, Rooney, and Ronaldo under Sir Alex Ferguson were also frequently knocked down.
The biggest point of confrontation between the coaches of both sides in this game was Wang Ai. After Jose saw through Ferguson's vision but did not change Wang Ai's role, live broadcast guests from various TV stations all asserted that Sir Alex Ferguson was going on.
In a wonderful adventure, he focused all his strength on attacking Chelsea's left backfield, knocking over Wiwi's ammunition box, but Chelsea's right wing was released, and Joe Cole, the London Footballer of the Year, was rushing forward.
At the same time, Jose is also betting that Ashley Cole can withstand the opponent's group offensive in a single battle. At the same time, he is also betting that the Wiwi in front can break Manchester United's attack with full attack.
plan.
Even so, this will bring this competition into the usually rare state of contesting attack power rather than defense.
