() "The game has been going on for twenty minutes. The game is not very exciting, and neither side has any good opportunities."
It's not that it's not wonderful.
But it's ugly.
Porto made a targeted defensive arrangement against Chelsea's offensive players.
The effect is very obvious.
Chelsea's two most powerful wingers were unable to take advantage of Porto's defense. When they eliminated Real Madrid and Monaco, Joaquin, who performed extremely well, fell into confusion.
Valente, a little-known left back, performed very well in the Champions League.
In terms of strength, he is no match for Joaquin.
But with the help of Mendes, Valente was unable to defend Joaquin. It was definitely not about Valente's strength, but that Mourinho knew a lot about Joaquin's characteristics.
Joaquin’s strengths and weaknesses were analyzed.
Let Joaquin's cross pass, as long as Joaquin is not allowed to enter the penalty area.
Therefore, Joaquin can only pass from the wing.
Although the quality of Joaquin's crosses is excellent, it is a pity that Chelsea's forward line does not have a player who can respond to his crosses.
The inability to open up the two wings will do great damage to Chelsea's offense.
But Chelsea are not blind either.
Although Chelsea was the main attacker, Su Yun kept staring at McCarthy and Deco. Su Yun did not give McCarthy and Deco any chance at all. Su Yun also left enough players in the backcourt to protect himself.
The game therefore reached a stalemate.
The kick was ugly.
Mourinho watched for a while and found that Chelsea didn't come out at all. Although he had put the team very far behind, he found that Su Yun was much more stable than he thought.
In Mourinho's previous thoughts, Su Yun should be very satisfied now.
In the recent Champions League, there is probably no one as strong as Chelsea.
They swept Real Madrid 8-1 in the quarter-finals and defeated Monaco 6-2 in the semi-finals.
With such results, Mourinho always thought that Su Yun would be so proud. He looked down on himself and Porto in the final. He really didn't expect Su Yun to be so calm.
But it is not easy for young coaches.
In Mourinho's eyes, Su Yun is young. After all, Su Yun is only 38 years old now.
But Su Yun is far more stable than Mourinho imagined.
It can't go on like this.
After Mourinho stepped forward, he made some gestures.
"Porto is going to defend the whole game. Does coach Mourinho want to defend until the end of the game? Does he want a penalty kick?"
Porto has shrunk even further.
If there was still the appearance of counterattack before, now they don't even have the appearance of counterattack. Everyone has retreated.
Many commentators criticized Porto's style of play.
But Su Yun became more and more nervous.
Mourinho is really trying to lure the enemy deeper. Su Yun doesn't believe that Mourinho will let Porto defend until the end of the game. No coach would make this choice.
Because penalty shootouts are the most unpredictable.
No coach dares to say that a penalty shootout can win.
Su Yun believes that Mourinho will never bet on penalties.
Others looked like Porto was retreating across the board, but if you look closely, Mourinho still left something behind. Su Yun understood that Mourinho was playing a trick to lure the enemy deeper.
Porto's counterattack was unable to break through the complete Chelsea defense, so Mourinho wanted to keep Chelsea's defensive line moving forward.
Su Yun will not be fooled.
Mourinho?
You are very powerful.
He served as the translator and assistant coach of the famous England coach Robson, and the assistant coach of Louis van Gaal. After becoming the head coach, his achievements were also very brilliant, especially in Porto.
But in terms of history as a head coach, Su Yun is much longer than Mourinho.
Mourinho has been successful and successful since he became the head coach.
But Su Yun is different.
Su Yun started coaching in low-level leagues. Although he is now one of the most outstanding young coaches in European football, he has as many failures as successes.
One more failure means one more maturity for Su Yun. This is the process of maturity.
Therefore, Su Yun is far more mature than Mourinho.
Although he is younger than Mourinho.
Mourinho was betting that Su Yun couldn't keep his temper. But he didn't understand Su Yun.
Su Yun is far more able to stay calm than Mourinho imagined.
retreat?
retreat.
Su Yun was still unhurried. He did not rush forward blindly because Porto retreated. Instead, just like at the beginning, those who should attack continued to attack, and the players who should defend were not attracted by Porto.
The game was so deadlocked.
Mourinho was surprised.
Su Yun is more powerful than he thought.
He has already given in like this. Chelsea is still not impatient.
The game passed by so slowly.
Johansson, who was sitting in the VIP seat, frowned. Because two dark horses appeared in this game, the ratings were originally not high. Now that the game is so ugly, the ratings are definitely going to drop again.
The fight was too ugly.
Johansson doesn't care at all who wins the championship, Chelsea or Porto.
Because no matter who wins the championship, it is good news for Johansson. Because European football needs talented coaches.
The two coaches on the court now are both talented coaches.
Whoever succeeds will be praised by European football.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Under this ugly game, the first half slowly ended.
"Dududu——"
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
"The first half of the game is over. This game reminds me of last year's Champions League final, and the same was true for the match between Milan and Juventus. The scene was very ugly. Is this the Champions League final we are looking forward to."
"We don't expect a passionate game like Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Bayern, nor do we expect a hearty game like Milan's 4-0 bloodbath against Barcelona. But at least it should be a little better."
"But what?"
"Today's young coaches are becoming more and more utilitarian. The games are getting more and more ugly. Last year's Champions League final was already ugly. This game is even more ugly than last year's Champions League final."
"At the end of the first half, neither side had a good chance to score. Not even a decent, beautiful offense could be found. This was the most ugly Champions League final that I have commented on in so many years."
Many media outlets expressed dissatisfaction.
Including German commentators, French commentators, and Spanish commentators are all the same.
For them, the current Champions League final has little to do with them, because all their country's teams have been eliminated. They just want to watch a good-looking game, but this Champions League final is really ugly.
They were originally dissatisfied with Chelsea and Porto's entry into the Champions League. Now watching games like this, they complained even more.
It's extremely difficult to see.
Complained one after another.
Complaining that the game is ugly.
But for Chelsea and Porto, their purpose is not to please them. It is to bring home a trophy for their clubs.
…………
Everyone was silent in the locker room.
Although they know that the Champions League final is difficult to play, they played too hard today. There is always a feeling that they are not able to exert their strength.
The players in the frontcourt feel this way the most.
Wanted to attack, but was completely frozen by Porto's defense.
This makes them very angry.
"It was a good first half."
Su Yun didn't care. Although he was mired in Mourinho's style of play in the first half, the result was not good.
Zero to zero.
There are no changes.
Now Chelsea's players are a little restless. Su Yun must stabilize them.
Only by stabilizing can you have a chance to win.
"Don't be anxious or panic on the court. Mourinho's idea is very simple. He knows that he can't beat us when we play against each other. So he deliberately retreated and waited for us to attack."
Su Yun drew on the tactical board.
"Look. As long as there are any holes in our defense, Porto's counterattack will appear. Their offensive routine is very simple. It will be even easier for them to beat us."
"Deco, McCarthy, this is the simplest counterattack routine."
"Mourinho is testing our patience. The Porto players are testing your patience. Now let's see who has more patience. After the second half begins, hold on."
"Stay steady and don't attack blindly. I don't believe that Porto players can defend us for ninety minutes. As long as they are slightly loose, then it is our chance."
Su Yun has to wait.
In fact, Mourinho is waiting too.
Both of them are waiting for the other to make a mistake first.
That's why the game is so stiff.
After Su Yun finished speaking, he said to Duff: "Damien, I'm sorry. You have to come down and take a rest in the second half. Joe Cole, you go up in the second half."
After Su Yun finished speaking, Qiao Cole was very surprised.
He didn't expect that he would be able to go.
In fact, when Su Yun brought Joe Cole to the finals, he never thought about letting him play. He just brought him along just in case. But now Su Yun needs Joe Cole.
Some of Duff's weaknesses were also exposed during the game.
Especially in front of Mourinho.
Duff is used to playing aggressively and aggressively in the Premier League. Attacking from the wing is his specialty. But when faced with Porto's intensive defense and several players compressing the space, Duff's disadvantages were undoubtedly revealed.
It's Duff's ability to break free in a small space.
In the first half, Chelsea's entire left wing was frozen by Porto.
Duff was frustrated.
Because in the Champions League final, he was substituted at halftime. This made him very frustrated. But he also knew that his performance in the first half was not very good.
"Joe Cole, your task after coming up is very simple. I don't ask you to pass all the Porto players and then score a goal. That is God, not something we can do. All I ask of you is to play on the left
Try to break through as much as possible, and the best thing is to cause more fouls for Porto."
"We can't break the opponent's defense in positional battles, so creating set pieces is a good way."
Su Yun's purpose in letting Joe Cole go up was very simple.
It's about creating set pieces.
Joe Cole nodded.
"But when defending, you have to start counterattacking in front. If you wander in front, I don't mind replacing you in the second half."
