After defeating England, the prince did not stay too much in Spain, but chose to return to London with the England national team with Torres Alonso and others, because an intensive schedule was coming soon.
In the away game against Villa, Scolari did not bring the main players there at all. Affected by the FIFA virus, both the main players and substitute players were all flying around the world. Even if they did not play, their physical condition was not much better.
Scolari, who was about to be beaten by himself, could only go to the away game with the reserve team and a few first-team players who had no national team competition duties.
It is conceivable how powerful such a team can be. Facing Villa, who were fighting for relegation and aggressively grabbing points, Chelsea's second team played extremely fiercely, and eventually lost to Chelsea due to lack of strength.
City, and this was Chelsea's first defeat in the league.
Facing the media after the game, Scolari complained bitterly and ruthlessly complained about the meaningless international match day. However, it was not just him who was hurt. Basically, all the wealthy teams suffered after the international match day.
It's hard to perform well in a game.
However, after a simple rest, the first team faced its first opponent in the Champions League knockout rounds at home and showed a good competitive state, causing the Serie A giant Old Lady to lose completely.
Before the game, there was no smell of gunpowder between the two sides. The former coach of the Blues, Claudio Ranieri, returned to Stamford Bridge and was welcomed by the Blues fans. Although the old coach did not achieve world-renowned achievements in the Blues, he did
He also laid a solid foundation for the rise of the Blues and made his own contribution, so Blues fans have not forgotten this old coach who once brought them joy.
Just like what he said before the game, I have mixed feelings about returning to my former team, but the game is a game, and victory is the key.
Ranieri did make targeted arrangements during the game, hoping to take away a victory from the Blue Bridge.
Look at Juventus’ lineup, the world’s best goalkeeper, Buffon, who is slightly inferior to even Saint Cassie.
On the back line, Chiellini is recognized as the ugliest man in world football. However, this guy's strength is outstanding, and it is not that simple to break through his defense.
Swedish star Mellberg has played for Villa in the Premier League for 7 years. Today, Juventus fans have high hopes because Villa just defeated the Blues.
Lello Taglie, the Italian international central defender nicknamed "The Duke", although not well-known, is definitely a low-key and capable fighter.
Molinaro, a winger-turned-full-back, has excellent speed and skills, and is even expected to become the main force of the Italian national team.
Also sitting on the bench are Cech's national team teammate Grigra and other players. Although the entire defense is not as star-studded as Chelsea, they are composed of strong players and have the bonus of chain defense. It will definitely give Chelsea
Cause very big trouble.
In the midfield, Camoranesi, the World Cup champion, Sissoko, one of the representatives of the brutal defensive midfielder, Thiago, the former teammate of the Blues players, and Nedved, the former European Footballer, are also not satisfied.
Lost to other teams.
However, considering the average age of this midfielder, maybe the first half is the time for them to perform. In the second half, which consumes most of their energy, this may be Juventus' biggest flaw.
Fortunately, there are energetic players such as young Marchisio sitting on the bench. Maybe the second half will be the stage for them to perform.
The forward line is naturally the eternal zebra prince Del Piero. Partnering with him is Brazilian forward Amauri.
From the analysis of this plastic surgery, Juventus emphasizes more on the whole. If it were not for the support of superstars such as Buffon and Del Piero, maybe the old lady would become a civilian team. I don’t know what they will do when they rise again.
How much trouble it creates for Chelsea.
Because the two teams have never played against each other and have no friendship, the two teams did not have any activities such as partying before the game. Only a few familiar players invited Thiago to have a party.
Prince has already scored 9 goals in the Champions League group stage that has ended. If Chelsea can reach the finals, then it is entirely possible for him to break the 14-goal record set by AC Milan's Brazilian forward Altafini in the 1962-1963 season.
record for goals in the season, so the Juventus coach has put a lot of effort into how to keep an eye on the prince, but no matter how hard he tries, there is no good way. No one in the current position can completely restrict him.
Of course, you can also send someone to destroy the prince at the beginning. Although it is a bit inhumane, it is still a good and deceitful method if it can help the team win and advance.
However, Ranieri's only conscience in his heart prevailed in the end and he did not make such an arrangement that would make people and gods angry. Otherwise, he would drown in the saliva of Blues fans.
But although he doesn't use lethal tactics, frequent fouls are necessary to stop him. Only in this way can he limit his rhythm. There is no way around it. He also wants to play against Chelsea in an upright manner, but comparing the team's performance
He was jealous of the lineup and strength and had no choice but to retreat.
In fact, Juventus' recent performance is quite good. From being relegated due to the Calciopoli scandal to rushing back to Serie A, the speed of the old lady's rise has shocked the world. Last season, they ranked third in the standings.
Forced AC Milan to participate in the UEFA Cup. Participating in the third qualifying round this season, they easily defeated Artemedia Bratislava to enter the UEFA Cup along with Real Madrid, Zenit St. Petersburg and Borisov Bate.
A coveted group. 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, including a home win over Real Madrid, ensured that they successfully advanced to the last 16 as second place in Group H.
However, it was their status as second in the group that made them embarrassed to encounter Chelsea, who were at their peak. The road to promotion was full of thorns.
In this game, Scolari played all his main players. He pays attention to his opponents and hopes to ensure qualifying in the first round. Otherwise, going to Italy may not be Waterloo. The home atmosphere in Serie A is also notoriously scary.
However, he also made corresponding adjustments according to the opponent and arranged a very old "mm" formation, which was actually 3232. He eliminated one defender and played a three-center defender formation. Ibisevic and Drogba started together to form a terrifying formation.
The center duo attack the opponent, Prince retreats as the attacking midfielder, the left and right midfielders are Joe Cole and Lampard respectively, and Deco and Essien sit in the defensive midfielder.
Scolari was quite ingenious, turning Chelsea's former muscular midfielder into a muscular frontcourt, and then used the numerical advantage of the midfielder to control the game and create opportunities for the two tall centers. I have to say that he has ideas. (To be completed.)
