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 had an idea.
Comparing the heights, Chiellini is 186 centimeters and Mellberg is 186 centimeters. These two old woman center backs are almost incomparable with Chelsea Drogba's 189 centimeters and Ibisevic's 189 centimeters in this regard.
However, this 3-centimeter gap was infinitely magnified by the huge gap in physical conditions. Chelsea's two Warcraft centers outshone each other in terms of size and impact, making Ranieri constantly complain, who is it?
It's an Italian team.
After the game started, two Chelsea centers stepped into the Juventus penalty area, and the old lady did not dare to fight against each other. If these two guys started to attack, the inside of the penalty area would be turned upside down.
Chelsea also relied on this unexpected tactical arrangement to gain control of the scene. The two wingers kept taking the ball. Even if the two centers were unable to accurately header the ball due to interference from the opponent, they could still do it by passing it to their teammates.
, so the prince, Lampard and others behind the two benefited a lot. They took turns to grab long-range shots. The ball blasted towards the gate guarded by Buffon like a hail of bullets. Fortunately, Buffon had fully warmed up before the game.
He showed his godlike form, otherwise, Chelsea might have led by more than two goals at the beginning.
However, the old woman's counterattack was sharp enough, and she was able to find opportunities to threaten the Blues' goal under Chelsea's fierce attack. Although Nedvěd is old, his awareness is becoming more and more coquettish, and he can score the ball during the counterattack.
It was a huge deterrent. If Piero hadn't been in poor condition, the score would have been really unknown.
The prince looked at the old and strong Czech, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart. This former European Ballon d'Or winner is not the kind of star with outstanding talent, but achieved his current status through his own hard work and hard work.
People like the prince who are favored by God are very different and more worthy of admiration.
So in the next attack, the prince raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Originally, in Scolari's tactical arrangement today, Prince was not the main offensive point. His role was more to insert long-range shots or continue to deliver shells to the center duo in front.
But now the prince raised his hand to request, Deco hesitated for a moment, thinking that the center had been playing the main role for a long time, and it might be better to change the attack method, so he sent the ball to the prince's feet.
Originally, Ranieri attached great importance to the defense of Prince. However, judging from the opening period, it seems that Scolari did not let Prince come to the main assault point, so he adjusted his tactics accordingly. But now that Prince is
When he got the ball in the middle, no one around him interfered. Ranieri was so shocked that he immediately stood up from the coaching bench.
Because there was no direct defensive player in front of him, the prince took the ball and continued to move forward. He suddenly reached a place about 30 meters away from the goal before finally a defensive player came to press him. He could already shoot here. If no one interfered, the prince could even
Smoking a cigarette comfortably and taking aim.
Sissoko, the big black man, was originally helping the two defenders in the penalty area to fight against the Blues' center. Now he was in a hurry to fill the gap in the middle, looking a little embarrassed. The prince stepped on the ball lightly and moved the ball with his body.
The shaking and fake action of smashing the ball made the old woman's lower back feel uncomfortable.
Knocking the ball to the left with the heel of his right foot, he stepped over it with his left foot, leaned forward, and tried to break through to the left. This series of actions also completely shook Sissoko's center of gravity.
Moving left, the prince dunked the ball from the left back to the right, rubbed it forward, quickly pulled the center of his body back and rushed forward.
He quickly and neatly passed Sissoko. The fans at the scene were intoxicated by the prince's dreamy performance and cheered endlessly.
Taking the ball a few steps forward, the prince had already entered the penalty area. At this time, Chiellini, who was guarding Ibisevic, had to come over to cover up the defense. Otherwise, letting the prince wreak havoc in the penalty area would not be a good outcome.
In this way, Ibisevic was leaked out. When the full-back quickly restrained his defense, the prince's pass was already in place. Ibisevic turned around to stop the ball and pushed the ball into the far corner. No matter how magical Buffon was, there was nothing he could do. Chelsea played at home
Ahead.
After scoring the goal, Ibisevic threw the prince to the ground like a tiger pouncing on food. He looked like a hungry man who had just been released from prison and met a sexy beauty. No wonder he was so excited. He was originally playing in a small club in the German Second Division.
He can win the favor of the giant Chelsea if he knows how to play, can play in such a crucial game, and even score goals. How can others understand this indescribable emotion.
Ranieri stood on the sidelines and looked at the seemingly calm Scolari, who was a little distracted. He couldn't help but feel angry that this guy was still playing a feint attack.
Ranieri believed that having two high-center forwards attack at the beginning was Scolari's strategy to confuse the enemy, while Prince's surprise attack was the sure-fire method.
But he really thought wrong. Scolari was not that cunning. All this was the prince's free play, and it was considered a violation of tactical disciplines.
Scolari really loves and hates him. Of course he is happy when the team scores a goal, but it is not a goal scored according to his tactical instructions. It is the goal scored by the person who makes him bored. There are no muscles on his face.
Know how to make expressions.
After the goal, Chelsea grasped the situation more easily. Now their focus is no longer on how to continue to score goals, but how to control the game so that the Old Lady cannot score away goals.
Under the conditions for qualifying for the Champions League, the current knockout rounds have become increasingly weird. Usually the home team defends fiercely and the away team attacks fiercely. But in the league, it is completely reversed. This is the power of the away goal condition.
Chelsea, playing at home, will naturally do everything possible to prevent the old lady from scoring, and now that the team is in the lead, they can start to show their defensive strength.
The tactics have returned to the opening stage. There is no need to kick the ball from the wing. In the backcourt, you can directly pass the ball to the tall duo on the forward line. It has become a complete British long pass.
As for controlling the ball, let the old woman do it and keep it on her own.
The game scene became ugly. The Italian team, which was not good at attacking tough battles, took control of the game. I believe that most people did not want to see it, but now it had to be like this. In order to score valuable away goals, Ranie
Leigh had to hold his nose and let the team go.
Chelsea, on the other hand, firmly defended the backcourt and left the front to the two centers to sprint forward. Although the threat was not great, it at least prevented the opponent from overly pressing.
Time passed little by little, and the first half of the game ended in dullness.
In the second half, Scolari became more conservative. The two high center forwards who showed great deterrence in the first half all came off the field, leaving only the prince in front. The formation changed to 451 again. It seemed that he was not going to leave any chance to him.
rival.
In the prince's view, a 1-goal advantage is not safe. Even if this result is guaranteed in this game, he may not be able to advance to Turin in the second round. However, he has no right to question the coach's arrangement and can only be honest.
Really comes on stage.
As soon as Ranieri saw Scolari's arrangement, he knew that this game could only be like this. You know, Chelsea's defensive strength is world-famous. If the Blues' determined defensive counterattack, even Manchester United would be difficult to win.
Goal.
And now Scolari puts the prince at the front, making it clear that he wants to use the prince's speed and technology to catch the old woman's counterattack. This is also a troublesome arrangement. If you want to defend the prince's counterattack breakthrough, then
At least two people are needed to defend him full-time, and even two is not enough. Calculated in this way, the offensive force in the frontcourt is not enough. How to attack, forget it, the result of a small loss in the away game is not unacceptable, so,
Ranieri gave up the game decisively, and the rest was a tacit understanding between the two sides to keep the score until midfield, which attracted countless curses.
In the first round of the Champions League knockout round, Chelsea defeated Serie A giant Juventus 1:0 at home. This result also made the second round full of suspense.
Blues fans never knew that their coach could have such a conservative side. It seems that after years of failure in the Champions League, Abramovich has lost his patience. He must have put a lot of pressure on Scolari.
However, this seems to be in line with the old coach's wishes. He is also afraid that the chairman wants both results and a good-looking scene.
I'm satisfied with the result of the victory and the whole game." Scolari said in an interview after the game, "We started very well in the first half, our defense was very organized and we suppressed it well.
Defeating the opponent, we opened up our attack through the wings. After the goal, we purposely retreated very far to ensure the stability of our rear. If we continue to play like we did in the first 20 minutes, we will
We will be on the verge of scoring again. Of course, I don’t think that is a good thing. While we can score, Juventus can also score. You know, away goals are very important and can even be decisive.
So I think not allowing the opponent to score a goal is the biggest victory of this game. Some people may say that we were a little conservative in the second half, but this is not important. Although Juventus took the initiative, the point is that they did not score a goal.
So I think this game is a perfect game, and I'm looking forward to the away game, that's when we can show our offensive capabilities."
His behavior caused widespread controversy among fans. Although the team won, the team's conservative play style was not a good thing. Even in the Magic Bird era, which paid so much attention to defense, it seemed that it was not so passive. Now it can only
Let’s wait and see whether the away game will fully demonstrate the offensive strength as Scolari said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. You can
