After the game restarted, Mourinho didn't make too many big moves. He just made a calming move on the field to calm the players down - this approach seemed to have a great effect.
, because after taking the lead, Inter Milan did not launch a fierce attack as usual until it expanded its advantageous position - this also made the commentators very strange. Is it because Inter Milan was worried that it could not expand the score and instead consumed more physical energy?
This is a factor, but in fact, Dick himself emphasized before the game that after taking the lead, do not attack as usual - because facing other teams, the panic and mental imbalance after losing the ball can easily be used by Inter Milan again.
Suppress, then seize a flaw and pursue it fiercely until the entire gap is widened to establish an advantage. However, under Mourinho's training, Chelsea has become a strong team with extremely tough nerves and lost this ball.
, will not cause any fluctuations in their mentality. If they attack reluctantly, it will be easier for the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Therefore, it is a better approach to continue to struggle.
Mourinho raised his eyebrows when he saw Inter Milan starting to compete with Chelsea in the midfield. Naturally, he made a lot of arrangements for Inter Milan's characteristics. When they fell behind, Inter Milan began to attack forcefully.
, he also made arrangements on how to deal with it, but Inter Milan did not do so, which also made his arrangements come to nothing.
"It seems that Dick is also very afraid of our tenacity and counterattack... Then let's continue to fight. We have the advantage in hardness and they have the technical advantage. If we continue to fight like this, we may not have no chance." Mourinho
Thinking silently in my heart.
In the next game, the two sides played more intensely on the court, but defensively, both sides seemed to do more. Chelsea's proud wing was playing back and forth between Inter Milan's defensive backs and the two midfielders.
There were almost no opportunities created by the replacement, and Inter Milan's strong attack in the middle also failed to create much threat in front of the two defensive heroes Essien and Makelele.
In the remaining 20 minutes of the first half, Chelsea had only one shot. Robben forced past Cordoba on the right and then cut inside to shoot. Cesar reacted promptly and saved it, while Inter Milan
Their offense was not much better. They also only had one shot. Carvalho tripped Adriano in the backcourt. Figo took a free kick from the left into the penalty area and was cleared by Terry's header. Sneijder followed up.
Thirty meters away, the ball went straight over the crossbar without stopping.
At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 1-0. With the help of a beautiful free kick, Inter Milan temporarily took the lead at home - such a score can be said to be normal. Chelsea did not have better opportunities in the second half.
.
When entering the players' tunnel, Mourinho seemed to slow down deliberately. After Dick entered the players' tunnel, he slowly started and walked into the players' tunnel.
"We played very well in the first half...Chelsea's defense in the middle of the midfield is the best in the entire European competition. Essien and Makelele are also the strongest defensive midfielders...Of course
Well, just on defense, in terms of offense, these two people still seem to be somewhat lacking, but if you focus on defense, it will not be easy to get a breakthrough from these two people."
As soon as Dick said this in the locker room, the Inter Milan players had some disapproving looks on their faces. Although Makelele and Essien's defense was indeed strong in the first half, their confidence this year has been
Infinite expansion, these arrogant warriors are happy to hear Dick praise the opponent's players.
"Boss, I think it's just that. As long as we attack well, we still have a chance to score!" Adriano jumped out first.
Tony also nodded. In the first half, he almost single-handedly contained Terry and Carvalho in the penalty area. Although these two defenders were also very strong, Tony felt that if there was enough cross support from the wing,
He can definitely seize several opportunities!
"In this case... Wright, drop back more in the second half and use your dribbling to break through their central defense... Luis and Simeone will be more active on the wings in the second half. Wright's position will drop back, so in their penalty area
The defense will become less intensive, and crosses will be more helpful... Wright, Luiz and Simeone will go to the wings, and the threat of attacking from the center will be reduced, so that their midfielders will also support the wings, that way
It will be more difficult for us to attack, so you need more support in the midfield, are you confident to do it?" Dick nodded and asked Adriano.
"Of course it can be done!" Adriano said, patting his chest. Although this arrangement would give Tony more scoring opportunities, at this time, Adriano felt that he had to do more on the court.
Not only must he be the best in scoring, breakthrough, containment, passing, etc., only in this way can he show his comprehensiveness. Tony is a pure shooter, and he is a comprehensive forward!
When Adriano made such a change in his thinking, the so-called battle for the number one forward in the team actually ceased to exist - this is what Dick has always wanted to do. Last season Adriano was
The number one forward, but Tony has suddenly emerged and his performance is not bad. He has been in excellent form since the beginning of this season. He scores goals every time in the league. It is inevitable that Adriano will feel psychologically unbalanced. Dick hints in various ways that he must
Adriano has this idea.
Seeing that Adriano agreed happily without any reluctance, Dick nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and drew a few words on the tactical board: "We are leading now, but this one goal is not enough."
Let us win... Although if we defend in the second half, there is a high chance that we can maintain the lead until the end. But is this what we need? We are the ones who want to challenge for the championship. If we play in the group stage
We have to be so conservative and lose momentum from the beginning! The other two opponents in the group will not hinder us. Our biggest opponent is Chelsea! Now let us defeat them with dignity and tell the whole Europe how powerful our offense is.
It's so powerful! Chelsea's defense is one of the best in Europe. We must let everyone know that no matter how strong the defense is, we will break it when facing us!"
"In the second half, Wright will drop back more to get the ball to attract the attention of their two defensive midfielders. At the same time, our offense on the wing must also be strengthened. Simeone, your side is a cover, and it is also mainly about attracting.
Luis, seize the opportunity and beat Gallas to death! Although his physical fitness is good, he is prone to mistakes. Kill him when you have the chance. It is up to you to decide whether to cross or break through. Luka, in the penalty area, you must
Seize the opportunity... Of course, Wright, you are not only trying to divert the opponent's attention, but also resolutely insert into the restricted area when you have the opportunity, and fuck him when you have the opportunity! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The players of Inter Milan roared with momentum. Dick's statement was in line with their appetite and expectations. After the unbeaten record last season, they are going to the Champions League this season for the championship. Now they are only in the group.
It is only the second round of the group stage. Do they need to play so conservatively? No need! Show off their offensive strength and show off their power to the whole of Europe. This is what they have to do!
Amid Dick's roar, the Inter Milan players rushed out of the locker room, waiting for the start of the second half!
After the Inter Milan players played, Chelsea players also played. During the halftime break, Mourinho also arranged targeted tactics. Their offense began to prepare to focus more on the center. Drogba died.
Carrying Inter Milan's two central defenders, Robben adopts more inward tactics. At the same time, Duff continues to roam on the wing, attracting some of Inter Milan's defensive attention. Lampard's forward penetration will also become a
Their important means of attack.
Regarding defense, Mourinho has only one sentence: "Business as usual."
Mourinho was very satisfied with the defense in the first half. Inter Milan continued its outstanding offensive performance from last season this season. However, in front of Chelsea's defense, it could only rely on a free kick to score a goal.
Xin and Makelele's joint blockade at the front of the penalty area played a big role. After their filtering, Terry and Carvalho blocked it in the penalty area. Coupled with Cech's save, although Inter Milan's offense was excellent,
However, it is difficult to create too many threatening offenses, so during the halftime break, Mourinho talked more about offense - of course he did not want to see the team lose this game away from home.
.
It was Inter Milan who kicked off the second half - they launched an attack from the beginning, and Chelsea's players seemed to have no physical problems and continued to fight actively on the court, constantly preventing Inter Milan's attack.
attack.
The defensive method used by Chelsea is not so much an iron wall as a layer of net, filtering Inter Milan's offense step by step. The trident in the frontcourt is the first pressing formation, followed by Lampard.
, after Lampard are the two defensive midfielders, and then their defense and goalkeeper. After such layers of filtered attacks, Inter Milan's offense is naturally somewhat unable to follow up after hitting the penalty area.
Inter Milan is like a large army attacking a city. However, the defenders in the city did not stick to the city to defend. Instead, they constantly sent small groups of soldiers to harass along the way. When Inter Milan reached the city, they were defeated because of the lack of food.
Mourinho was naturally relieved when he had no choice but to retreat. However, now, the tactics arranged by Dick seemed to still let the brigade attack along the original route, but sent two partial divisions to attack directly from the alley. The defenders had already gone out.
A lot of cities have been built - in this case, there is not much difference between a football match and a battlefield, except that there are not many people on the football match field after all. The so-called tactical changes are more concealed.
There are all kinds of deceitful tricks and so on. This is what Dick is using now. Although the tactics have been arranged, he still has to follow the offensive method of the first half at the beginning, and only reveal it when there is an opportunity.
The real intention is to give the opponent the final blow!
So after the start of the second half, the situation on the field seemed to be similar to the first half. The two sides continued to struggle in the midfield. Inter Milan tried to gain possession of the ball, while Chelsea launched a fast break after distributing the ball. At the same time, after losing the ball
Start blocking on the spot to reduce the threat to your own goal.
The two head coaches were observing the situation on the field at the same time, refusing to let go of any detail.
