Compared with Real Madrid's near comeback by Schalke 04 at home early yesterday morning, An Pang almost added an ignominious mark to the history of being reversed. Today I watched the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 at Stamford Bridge. I really felt
Staying up late watching football is really worth it.
In the Real Madrid game, for some reason, even if Schalke 04 ended up overturning it, I wouldn't be too shocked or surprised. Maybe it was because of Real Madrid's transfer market policy before the season, which made me feel that everything was to blame, just like when Morientes didn't.
It was the same situation when he was classified as a member of the Galactic Battleship and was forced to run away.
Imagine if Real Madrid still had Di Maria, a player who could help Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema with peace of mind, and imagine the stable order that Alonso could bring to Real Madrid's midfield. I always think that a team's midfielder is the most important.
What is important is the backbone of the team, not the forward line. The back line is only the foundation of the foundation. There is no such thing as saying that the back line is the most important, because this is a consensus, but the midfield is not the same. Every team
Midfielders with different characteristics can be formed according to the style of play.
The problems currently exposed by Real Madrid's midfield are obvious. The front of the penalty area is sometimes useless, and the attack relies too much on the striker. It seems that the defender can't wait to pass the ball directly to Ronaldo's feet, and then see if Ronaldo can score.
I don’t know if Real Madrid can defend the title, but I think if Real Madrid encounters Bayern again, the massacre last season will definitely not happen again. The mentality has completely changed. One is a ten-time champion, no longer the Champions League champion after more than ten years.
The super giant, Bayern wants revenge
, Guardiola should also learn from the lessons of last season. Maybe Bayern still has their problems. Lewandowski now is almost the same as Mandzukic last season, which is embarrassing, but Bayern's core system should be better than last season.
Mature, after all, it is two years old.
Today Chelsea was tied by Paris Saint-Germain. Before the game, I didn't expect it. I expected it would be a draw, and it was a very dull game. It ended 0:0. Chelsea used counterattacks to suffocate their opponents. But after watching the game, suddenly
I think Chelsea has changed too.
It would be wrong to say that they defend utilitarianally, because compared to the past, Chelsea will not invest so many troops in the midfield and frontcourt to surround and suppress opponents.
But to say that they took the initiative to attack, it doesn't seem like it. The positional battle was really fierce. If you took off their jerseys and didn't look at their faces, who would believe that this is the Premier League giant Chelsea?
Because in terms of scene, fluency, and teamwork, Tottenham and Southampton may be much prettier than them. At least they are organized and have a very three-dimensional offensive mode that makes people feel visually.
This seems to have become Chelsea's stubborn problem, oh no, it should be Mourinho's stubborn problem, because when Chelsea was coached by Anfa, positional warfare was still very smooth and comfortable.
Let’s talk about your thoughts about the game.
Ibrahimovic's red card was unjust. If the referee determined that Ibrahimovic was given a red card, then Costa's hard kick to Silva's leg was definitely a red card!
Costa's penalty was not awarded and the two teams argued endlessly after the game and became a mess, each holding their own opinions.
In my opinion, this key penalty is fair to both teams.
Without Ibrahimovic's red card, Costa might not have fallen down in the penalty area later. After all, 11 on 11 and 11 on 10, the game trend will definitely be completely different.
But since Ibrahimovic stopped his feet from the middle of the tackle and did not show the soles of his shoes and received a red card, and Costa fell in the penalty area and was ignored by the referee, it was basically equivalent to a one-for-one change.
Reminiscent of what Mourinho and Blanco said before the game, it made watching the game even more interesting.
Mu: "Even if all the Premier League teams are eliminated, it will still be the number one league in the world."
Bu: "Ibrahimovic will show off his power in this game!"
I wonder if Mourinho put all his energy on Ibrahimovic and asked Chelsea to focus on marking Ibrahimovic. Then, after Ibrahimovic was sent off, Chelsea's players were in chaos. How did it happen?
Well, I think it should be that Paris's offensive tactics are based on Ibrahimovic as the core, and then this core is gone, then Paris needs to adjust. With this adjustment, Chelsea's defensive adjustment has not kept up...
In any case, the numerical advantage of 11 against 10 was eliminated by the opponent in almost 100 minutes. Chelsea's shortcomings are similar to those of other giants participating in the Premier League. They do not have a strong concept of "control" of the game.
At the beginning of the season, I once thought that Chelsea had greatly improved in terms of "control" because they had Fabregas. I thought Fabregas was Xavi's successor. Barcelona introduced him at the wrong time. If it was
If Fabregas is brought back to Camp Nou this season, then Barcelona should be stronger than it is now. It's a pity that Fabregas must have spent a lot of patience in Barcelona. In addition, last season ended in failure, so he is quite frustrated.
.
But in this game, Xiaofa's performance really had no sense of existence.
I especially care about what Abu is thinking!
When Mourinho was driven away, it must have been more or less because he wanted beautiful football.
After winning the Champions League, he advocated buying Hazard, Oscar, plus Mata and others. These are not traditional players in the Premier League. They are obviously skilled players. So he should spend so much money.
Romantic football with beautiful skills, but Mourinho was invited back, Mata was sold, Oscar and Hazard, to be honest, I always feel that the outside world has been bragging.
People are saying that Hazard will be the next Cristiano Ronaldo Messi, or is becoming Cristiano Ronaldo Messi.
However, looking at his small body, he is already 24 years old!
Now, does he have any convincing performance in key battles?
What is his contribution in the big scene?
Score a penalty?
It is no exaggeration to say that his overall view on the field is unflattering. 80% of his next actions after touching the ball are extraordinary!
What happens after passing someone?
Wait until there is no more space, then pass the ball out.
However, the 18-year-old Ronaldo also played this way, but it was much more enjoyable to watch. The 19-year-old Ronaldo was able to score a key goal for Portugal in the European Cup. 24
The year-old Ronaldo is already a Ballon d'Or winner, World Footballer of the Year winner and European Golden Boot!
Oscar's problem is similar to his. Anyway, in modern football, the role of the attacking midfielder area is already very confusing and blurred. If he plays well, he is a god. If he plays poorly, he looks okay. In fact, the road to world-class is gradual.
Walking further and further away.
Chelsea has never had a convincing ability to attack tough situations, and Mourinho did not have Robben at Chelsea nor Di Maria at Real Madrid. Therefore, the attack on the right is obviously weak and must rely on full-backs.
Wan's outstanding performance is naturally related to the fact that he does not have a fixed and efficient winger in front of him, but the defensive risks this brings are also clear at a glance.
The fate of the giants in European football is really full of surprises.
After all, top player resources are monopolized in the hands of wealthy clubs. If you can't stay in a wealthy club, you will naturally go to another wealthy club, and the chance of meeting your old owner is very high.
I don’t know if anyone will mention how smart Chelsea is in selling people in the transfer market and how good they are at making money after today...
David Luiz was sold for 50 million, and Matic ended up injured, leaving only a young Zouma as a guest star. Then, David Luiz turned against his old owner.
I am used to going to BBS or Tieba after the game.
Summarize some interesting phenomena.
A certain post a: It is said that the two commentators from the Central Committee and the Central Committee vowed after 2:2 in overtime that there would be a penalty shootout later!
A certain post bar b: A large group of netizens are looking forward to the penalty shootout. It is said that they are very excited and the exciting moment is coming!
A certain post c: Chelsea was rarely criticized by more people after losing and being eliminated!
A certain forum d: Can Costa get over his habit of making trouble on the court and concentrate on playing football?
...
Hehe, there is no rules for writing this essay. I just write whatever comes to my mind.
Speaking of Costa, I have been watching football for so many years. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a player like Costa. He is very strange and unusual!
I’ve seen a lot of tough guys and villains!
Even in the Premier League, with Keane far away and bad boy Button nearby, they can directly destroy the opponent, or attack the opponent directly in front of the referee in full view of the public, but this does not seem to be very puzzling.
It’s Costa, I don’t quite understand what his style is.
Because he is always two-faced. On the one hand, he does not have the image of being tough to the end. On the other hand, even if he is wronged, he does not seem to get sympathy, which will give people a psychological reaction that he deserves it.
Although I am not happy to use many words used to describe him on BBS to describe him: Dirty!
Because I think he should be a smarter player. Not everyone can do it if they want to take advantage on the court, and he has been doing it, but he has used it in a way that is offensive.
This reminds me of Mr. Abu again.
Do you still have your original dream?
How would the owner who boasted about turning Chelsea into a dream team feel when he saw Chelsea's style of play become like this?
Chelsea in the past had a tough and tenacious image!
Iron blood and filth are completely different!
Drogba would have been sent off with a red card if he was too angry, but he did not have those little tricks exposed under the microscope of the camera, and even blatantly violated the rules and violated the opponent!
In the past, Lampard, Essien, Makelele, Ballack and the others were tough guys!
But when I come to Costa, I look at other people who are tall and strong, but they are always sneaking around!
Take advantage of the opportunity to step on the opponent, pretend to be nonchalant and bump into the opponent, make rude remarks and cause trouble.
I have only one feeling: retribution!
Mourinho, don’t complain about the FA’s blackmail against Chelsea. Don’t say that Matic was about to have his leg broken by an opponent. When Costa violated someone else, he stepped on someone’s ankle. When it was exposed, what would you say?
?Just ignore it!
In fact, while watching the game, conspiracy theories came to mind.
The referee sent off Ibrahimovic early. This seemed like a walk to Chelsea, which made no sense!
Could it be that we are giving Chelsea some benefits before the top 8, allowing Chelsea to win and attract criticism from the outside world, and then UEFA will kill Chelsea in the top 8 or top 4. In this way, everyone will
I feel that Chelsea deserved it. They were sent out in Paris, and then it was tit for tat...
By the time the game was over, I really felt like all the conspiracy theories were just nonsense.
Okay, now let’s look forward to how Manchester City and Arsenal perform in the away games. Elimination should be certain. We just need to see how the engineers and professors struggle during the process. If a comeback is achieved, it will definitely become a classic of the Champions League season.
Off-topic: Will the Premier League and European War points be affected? Is it safe for Arsenal to continue competing for the fourth place? What should we do if the number of places is reduced?
