Anelka crossed his legs and saw that Boas couldn't sit down, so he smiled and talked to Drogba and Malouda. Bambi is Boas's nickname because he likes to be lively during the game. It started.
It was not a derogatory term at the time. At that time, I just gave him a nice nickname, but I didn’t expect that it would now have a sarcastic meaning.
Now Anelka is truly broken. Lampard and Drogba both have a lot of feelings for Chelsea, so although they are suppressed by Villas-Boas, they still hope that Villas-Boas can let them play.
But Anelka no longer had this idea. The first person that Villas-Boas suppressed when he arrived was Anelka, so Anelka and Villas-Boas were completely at odds with each other. Anelka
He couldn't even make the squad, and he really hated Boas. In addition, Anelka had a bad personality, so he didn't care about Boas and had his own way in the dressing room.
"Nicola, I heard that you are leaving Chelsea in the winter."
Malouda looked around boredly, and then asked Anelka. Anelka made no secret, nodded and said: "Well, there has been news recently. Anyway, I don't want to see 'Bambi' for a day."
.”
Anelka was so suppressed that he began to contact other clubs. Of course, Villas-Boas also hoped that Anelka would get out of the house as soon as possible. Therefore, the two sides had a tacit understanding.
When the two were bragging and spanking, the game officially started. Villas-Boas was still very stubborn. Ever since he came to Chelsea, he had adopted an oppressive style of play without any flexibility. But the biggest problem was that
The configuration of Chelsea's players is not capable of playing this kind of oppressive style of play. Especially the configuration of Chelsea's defense is definitely not a team capable of playing this type of oppressive style of play.
"Mikel passed the ball to Meireles. Meireles broke through with the ball, and Lucas... Lucas' position was very good, and Lucas stole the ball from Meireles."
Villas-Boas took down players like Lampard and Malouda, and played a pressing style in the midfield. As a result, players like Meireles and Ramirez were positioned very high up.
But Liverpool itself is not afraid of this style of play. Especially the team built by Simeone. It originally emphasized running ability and defensive positioning. Although Simeone's team is different from Mourinho's team,
It also pays great attention to defense, especially the full-court press defense. If you want to be Simeone's player, you must first have enough physical strength and be able to run all over the court. Therefore, Chelsea's pressing style is difficult to face Liverpool.
Hit it in.
"Lucas. Long pass!"
When Lucas was playing in the Brazilian League, he was still a player with excellent skills, excellent passing, and even good shooting. But after arriving at Chelsea, he has been transformed into a defensive midfielder. His defensive ability is still very good.
Strong. But he didn't waste his passing ability.
"Reus, Royce got the ball. Royce, cross!"
Originally, Royce received the ball. Bosingwa thought Royce was going to break through. For Royce, breakthrough has always been his most powerful method. Bosingwa did not rush forward rashly because he knew Royce's explosive power and
He is very fast. Once given a chance, he will break through.
But precisely because Bosingwa did not step forward to block, Royce had space to pass the ball. It was a direct cross. Royce is a right-footed player, but his left foot is not weak at all. He passed the ball with his left foot.
, controlling the ball with his left foot and passing with his left foot are not a problem for Royce.
"Sturridge. Sturridge came in from the right."
The oppressive style of play has the highest requirements for the back line. Barcelona also plays an oppressive style, so as long as they lose the ball in the frontcourt, they will counterattack crazily in the frontcourt. Because of this type of oppression, they are most afraid of counterattacks. Even if Barcelona
He is the top Meng San, and he is also very afraid of counterattacks. Barcelona's defense also has a defender with good speed like Puyol.
But Chelsea is different now. Chelsea's central defender combination is John Terry and Alex. Both players are very capable of frontal defense, but they are central defenders who are not quick to turn around or recover quickly. Originally, they were strong.
With their frontal defensive ability, as long as they are properly arranged, they will become the best central defender combination in the Premier League.
But now the pressing style of play has infinitely expanded their weaknesses. That's how it is. A great head coach can use excellent tactics to cover up the weaknesses of the players. But some coaches actually amplify the weaknesses of the players. In history, Mourinho
When Austria was at Inter Milan, he used the combination of Lucio and Samuel to cover up Lucio's weaknesses.
Another example is Torres. Torres's advantages are fast speed, good technique, and good shooting, but he also has his own weaknesses. The biggest weakness is his poor ability to hold the ball behind the back. It is precisely because of this that Torres is not as complete as Drogba.
He needs the support of the midfielder and a tactic suitable for him. In the past, whether it was Bianchi or Pellegrini, they all used the most suitable tactic for Torres.
But Villas-Boas failed to do this in Chelsea. Because it was a sudden counterattack, Chelsea's defense was very forward. Royce's cross this time happened to be behind Terry and Alex.
.Sturridge was very fast, came in from the right, and won the ball against offside.
"Sturridge, this is a single sword!"
Neither Terry nor Alex is a fast defender, so after letting Sturridge go, they will never be able to catch up with Sturridge. Sturridge is 22 years old, and his biggest characteristic is his speed.
His skills are also good, but his biggest weakness is his independence. But when it comes to single-handedly fighting, he doesn't have to pay so much attention to it.
"Cech, abandoned the door and walked out."
Cech was really complaining in his heart. Even when Carlo Ancelotti was the head coach, Cech had never been so powerless. Since Villas-Boas started pressing, the distance between Cech and the defender was very far. Cech was really helpless.
.
Chelsea, who have been very defensive this season, have been constantly counterattacked by their opponents. I don’t know how many times Cech has faced opponents with a single attack this season. Although Cech complained, he could only choose to attack. If this kind of single attack is not carried out,
, then there is no chance.
"Sturridge, very fast. He passed Cech."
"The empty door, the empty door."
For players with strong explosive power and fast speed, it is very easy to get past the attacking goalkeeper. Sturridge is exactly such a player. Although Cech is a world-class goalkeeper, Sturridge just accelerates and dribbles the ball directly.
"Twelve minutes into the game, Liverpool led Chelsea 1-0 on the road. This situation is too familiar now. It has happened many times in Chelsea games this season. We really don't understand why Coach Villas-Boas
There is no change at all. In the previous rounds, we faced Arsenal who were short of major generals and were defeated like this."
For commentators, Chelsea this season is too unfamiliar. Although Chelsea has changed many coaches since Mourinho, and each has a different style. But Chelsea’s defense has always been very good, Mourinho
The foundation left behind is still quite strong. But since Villas-Boas came to Chelsea this season, Chelsea's defense has become papery. Every hit is accurate, and the world's top central defenders like Terry have become big colanders.
He was hit in the back countless times by his opponents.
Villas-Boas was angrily waving his hands and feet on the sidelines. Facing the problem was not to find a way to change. On the contrary, Villas-Boas believed that Chelsea players were not resolute in pressing. Therefore, Chelsea continued to press and started to press the opponent from the front court.
Simeone looked at Villas-Boas and sneered in his heart. Villas-Boas has a reputation as "Mourinho's second", but not to mention controlling the dressing room. Even his tactical ability and adaptability are inferior to Mourinho's.
Rinho is on the same level. With a top winger like Di Maria on the wing, if Simeone had to choose, he would choose Drogba, a powerful center.
And pairing Drogba with Aguero, a small forward with speed and good skills, is a perfect match. When the time comes, Drogba will be used to hold up the opponent's back line, and Aguero is behind. How good is this?
combination. But I don’t know what got Villas out of his mind to suppress Drogba.
Liverpool played neither hastily nor slowly. They were looking for mistakes in Chelsea's frontcourt. After all, Chelsea's frontcourt is not Barcelona's. Even the cooperation of Barcelona's frontcourt will make mistakes. What's more, it's Chelsea's players.
"Di Maria, cross!"
Di Maria's cross is a very good skill of his. Di Maria's cross not only has a good arc, but also is very suitable in terms of strength. When he was at Real Madrid, I didn't know how to play against Cristiano Ronaldo.
There have been so many beautiful collaborations. Unfortunately, in the current Chelsea, his ability is almost useless. Because Aguero in the frontcourt is not a center player in English football, passing the ball is basically useless. Compared with his height
Generally speaking, Aguero's header ability is not weak. But it is basically impossible to head the ball between Subotic and Carragher.
"Subotic, he pushed the ball out. Lucas gave the ball to Gerrard."
"Gerrard, direct pass!"
"Lewandowski, counter-offside, Lewandowski counter-offside. Terry and Alex, they can't keep up with Lewandowski's pace. This is another one-on-one."
Lewandowski is not a fast forward like Henry or Irving. But his explosive power and speed are not slow at all. Especially when facing Terry and Alex, he has an advantage.
"Lewandowski, shoot!"
Unlike Sturridge who passed the goalkeeper with speed, Lewandowski just shot a low shot.
"Two to zero, two to zero. Liverpool is already leading Chelsea two to zero. Terry and Alex have already been beaten twice. Chelsea's defense has become a sieve."
When Terry saw Lewandowski's goal, he couldn't help but go up and kick the ball into the sky. Terry has been in the Chelsea first team for more than ten years, and this season is the most humiliating for him.
He was hit from behind countless times. His high-altitude defensive ability and frontal defense ability were not able to bring out any of these advantages. On the contrary, he was hit from behind countless times and was hailed as a big colander by the media. Terry really felt that he was wronged.
"Boas's current winning rate is very poor, and I don't know how long he can withstand it."
Lister looked at Villas-Boas, who couldn't sit still on the sidelines and jumped around like a monkey, and shook his head. When Villas-Boas first came to Chelsea, it can be said that Chelsea had high hopes. His results at the beginning were also good.
, won six games in the first eight rounds, and many media were touting it at the time. Unfortunately, Villas-Boas's nature as a parallel import soon showed up, and he had already lost six games before half a season was over.
"A winning rate of less than 50% is unsatisfactory among a strong team like Chelsea. If you hang your life now, you will be dismissed soon."
"Haha. Mourinho is second, but he is not Mourinho after all."
In European football, as long as we say "so and so is second", there are only a few who are truly successful in the end. Boas? Haha.
