The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 284 Black Mark Star
In fact, for Porto, it is not difficult to guess the change.

If it is difficult to open the situation in the middle, then Mourinho's most likely choice is to take Carlos Alberto and replace him with Alenichev. They are all good, but they have obviously lost the speed and assault ability of the year, otherwise, he would not be unable to play in Rome and Perugia.

But the left and right feet are very good, and the Russian who can play the left and right sides and the center should really pay attention.

"I don't know if Mourinho will make a substitution during the intermission, but if he does, I have great confidence that it will be the Russian player Alenichev, and Mourinho will There are two options, one is to take Thiago and the other is to take Alberto."

Alenichev played as an attacking midfielder before Porto. His passing and skills are good, and his speed is also good. But Mourinho let him play on the wing, and the effect is also very good, so what will he choose? Ye Qiu I really don't know, I can only adapt to the situation.

However, if Thiago is won, there will be two technical players, Alenichev and Alberto, in the frontcourt. This means that Porto is determined to counterattack. Ye Qiu has always come to this kind of counterattack. The more the better, the more the better, but you must also carefully arrange defensive tactics and intercept them in a targeted manner.

Mourinho's Porto is actually considered a top team in the Portuguese Super League. Even in the European arena, because of the quality of the players, it is not as good as the top team, but it is definitely not weak. Needless to say, defense, when it comes to offense , When Alenichev and Alberto start at the same time, the team is still very creative.

However, at this time, Porto is playing a 442 tactic, and it is usually used when facing a team that is weaker than them. To play against a strong team, Alenichev and Alberto usually only choose one of them. , This is also to ensure the team's defensive strength.

As for Cardoso Mendes Thiago, whom Mourinho has relied heavily on and introduced this season, this game was obviously under the marking of Makelele of Chelsea, and he completely lost his original performance. The game did not give the team much help.

In the locker room, Ye Qiu focused on telling the players to pay attention to Porto's possible substitutions in the second half and the series of changes that would follow. He especially carefully reminded the players that Porto might launch a counterattack in the second half.

Comparing his heart to his heart, if Ye Qiu is the head coach of Porto now, he will try his best to counterattack when he is behind 0:1. The reason is very simple. There is not much time left for him. unfavorable.

And Mourinho has to beware of one thing, that is, if he continues to procrastinate like this, it will weaken and hit the morale of the team to a certain extent. When he really wants to counterattack, maybe the players will become unwilling But the strength is insufficient.

Ye Qiu dared to let Chelsea stabilize for 35 minutes before counterattacking. One very important reason is that many players in the Chelsea team have very rich experience, especially the experience in major competitions, and other players have also experienced many years of professional competition. Those who have been trained are more mature and stable.

If it was a team like Joe Cole and Ribery, Ye Qiu would choose to attack aggressively, because this type of young players are obviously impatient. If Ye Qiu presses hard, it will deal a heavy blow to the team's morale .

After conceding a goal in the first half, and being beaten so embarrassingly by Chelsea in the final stage, if Mourinho doesn't hurry up and regain his morale, then he probably won't have to continue playing in this game. Chelsea didn't Counterattack, they all die down.

You must know that when the head coach is arranging tactics, he not only needs to judge the situation, but also considers the psychological changes and morale of the players.

With this level of thought, Ye Qiu also knew very clearly how he should make a choice.

Although this may make Mourinho hate himself even more, who makes each other endless opponents?

We Chinese have a saying that is right, when facing an opponent, we must do everything we can, because kindness to the opponent is cruelty to ourselves, and Ye Qiu is considered a gentleman if he does not use unscrupulous methods.

The second half kicked off again, and everyone found that Porto, contrary to the situation in the first half, even took the initiative to attack.

But there is one thing about Porto's offense that makes people notice their inability at a glance, that is, they lack wings.

Chelsea have Maicon and Evra on the wing. Although they are full-backs, they are actually used as full-backs or even wingers in many cases, and they attack from the back. Let their role in the team's offense become more stealthy and more threatening.

But looking at Porto's entire lineup, both Ferreira and Valente's speed are relatively slow. Among them, Ferreira is obviously unable to deal with Ronaldinho. If you want him to attack again, forget it Bar.

The direct threat from Valente's side is not great, but that damned Drogba always avoids Jorge Costa and looks for Carvalho, and Valente has to stick to the defense anytime and anywhere to help defend.

Originally, if we played 442, Maniche would play the left midfielder. The Portuguese midfielder has both offense and defense, and he is also a good player at the wide midfielder. But now that Chelsea's midfield suppression is so strong, Maniche can even assist in defending Costinha. Uneasy, the offensive investment is not large.

In the end, everyone, even Mourinho, had to admit that if you want to play a threatening attack, you have to make substitutions.

To make a substitution, Alenichev is the best choice, because his playing can create opportunities on the wing, but who to replace is a problem. If Thiago is replaced, the team will play 442 instead, relying solely on Mende It is indeed uncertain that Si and Costinha should protect both the line of defense and the penetration of the two ribs.

You know, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball inside and cut through the two ribs, and then found teammates to cooperate. This is a magic weapon for Chelsea to win, and the goal conceded in the first half was actually also because Lampard inserted the defense. The error caused by the right rib.

It's not yet the time to fight hard and break the boat. There is still such a long time. If there is another omission, and if Chelsea seizes the opportunity again, it will really be over.

In the previous life, some people commented on Mourinho, thinking that he lacked a keen tactical sense. One of the important points is that his on-the-spot substitutions often did not achieve the desired effect, but were more or less impulsive. .

For example, replacing three players in one go, or replacing a defender with an offensive player, or simply pushing a central defender to the front to make a guest appearance, strictly speaking, these are not very worthy of praise The reason for the tactical change is very simple, it is not targeted, it is blind, and it is a bit angry.

And the most commendable game in Mourinho's life was at the moment of Inter Milan, when he encountered Barcelona in the first leg of the semi-finals. That battle can be said to be the pinnacle of Mourinho's tactical level as a head coach. war.

Of course, it is undeniable that Mourinho is a very good and successful head coach. In the formation of the tactical system, but in his motivation to the players and control of the locker room.

Someone once said that the success of Mourinho's coaching is that he has found a way to lead a team to the best level. Remember, it is the method, not the tactical concept.

In Mourinho's winning method, psychological motivation, strict control of the locker room with an iron fist, and the formation of a highly integrated team are undoubtedly the key factors.

It cannot be said whether the method is clever or the tactical concept is brilliant. In professional football, whoever can go to the end and whoever can achieve success is justified, and there is no need to compete. It can only be said that each other goes The route is different, the trade-offs are different, but it is obvious that now, when Mourinho's encouragement has played a certain effect, allowing Porto's players to muster up the courage to counterattack in the second half, he can't find a place to start .

In other words, you have the courage and determination to counterattack, but you don't know where to attack!
Chelsea has no obvious weaknesses. The two sides are weak defensively and can be used. But now Mourinho does not have any wide players to take advantage of this. Alberto prefers to retreat and get the ball. .

So, after weighing it, Mourinho finally replaced Alberto with Alenichev in the 56th minute, letting Alenichev go back to play on the right, Maniche on the left, and Tie Yago retreated to play the three midfielders, and the team's tactics immediately became 451.

This was not beyond Ye Qiu's expectations, because he had already taken into account all possible variables that might occur in Porto before the game, and Mourinho's substitution this time was not too surprising. , Even he has used it many times in the past season, the game against Manchester United is the same, and the game against Deportivo is still the same.

After Ye Qiu made a substitution in Porto, he immediately walked to the sidelines and made a forward pressing motion towards the players.

There was only Delly left in the frontcourt. Although this player had good speed, Ye Qiu didn't need to be afraid of him as a lone striker. Moreover, he allowed Davis and Deco to press up and directly suppressed Porto's three rears. The waist allows both Maicon and Evra to suppress Porto's wings and completely isolate Dellei in the frontcourt.

Whether it is Maniche or Alenichev, their speed is far inferior to Maicon and Evra, especially for the 31-year-old Russian veteran Alenichev, Ye Qiu specially recorded a video for the players to study before the game , and worked hard on this point.

In the 67th minute, Porto made a quick attack. Dellei took the ball from the center and handed it to Alenichev on the right. When the latter got the ball, Evra decisively chose to cut close and support it with his body Alenichev.

The Russian is 31 years old, and he is not a strong player. At 1 meters tall, he looks like the frail Arshavin. When Evra got close, he staggered and almost lost the ball. But his technical ability and sense of the ball are really good, and he made an adjustment soon, trying to pass the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

But at this time, Cannavaro had already blocked the position, and after getting the ball, he quickly passed it to Davis who was rushing back in front. Davis turned his back to the attacking direction, and quickly passed the ball to complete the defensive task. Evra who wants to go forward to participate in the attack.

The French left-back made a breakthrough on the left after getting the ball. Chelsea's entire formation quickly advanced, ready to play a counterattack. Porto's defense line was retreating quickly, especially Carvalho. When he saw Drogba run When heading behind him, he kept speeding up and backing away.

Evra crossed the center line, raised his head, and saw that Drogba was already raising his hand. He swung his left foot directly and made a long-distance oblique pass. The destination was the back of the right corner of the small penalty area. Click the position and find Drogba who is plugging in quickly.

I have to say that Evra's long-distance pass was very fast, and Porto was caught off guard, but the landing point was much worse, a bit off, which caused Drogba to accommodate his landing point and was caught by Carvalho. got entangled.

The height of the Portuguese central defender is indeed not very good, but the kung fu of stalking people is enough to cause headaches and even collapse. If a tough guy like Drogba is stalked by him, he almost beat him.

However, Drogba has the advantage in terms of height and confrontation. Since he can't choose to hit the goal by himself, he chooses to play the ball.

As soon as the Ivorian rushed into the penalty area, he immediately stood still, jumped high, and headed Evra's long-distance diagonal pass to the left of the goal. He hoped that some players could catch up and make up for it. kick.

Facts have proved that usually the decisions made in this kind of chaos often have no good results, so Drogba's header was ferried, but no one responded, and Ronaldini waited until the ball left the left side of the penalty area. Ao Cai caught up with the ball, and Ferreira also got close to him for the first time to defend.

After getting the ball, Ronaldinho made an emergency stop with a fake action. After deceiving Ferreira, although he lost the angle of cutting into the penalty area, he managed to avoid being blocked in the corner of the corner area and chose Retracement dribbles the ball close to the left side of the penalty area.

At this time, Chelsea's second attacking echelon also came up, Davies and Lampard rushed up at the same time, Ronaldinho also saw the timing, and before Ferreira got close again, he rubbed his right foot out. A half high ball.

With an arc, the ball quickly passed Jorge Costa who was looking up in the penalty area, and fell in front of Carvalho.

But just when the Portuguese central defender wanted to quickly rush up to make a clearance, he found that a figure in a blue jersey was faster than him. Fly directly and dive to the top.

The ball hit the man's head accurately, turned in one direction, directly stuck to the right post, and got into the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Counter-attack, Chelsea played a very dangerous counter-attack against Porto, the curling pass from Ronaldinho, Lampard, Lampard who came in behind, dived and headed the goal, for Chelsea Score the second goal of the game!"

After scoring the goal, Lampard wanted to get up from the ground quickly, but soon, he felt a mountain of gravity. It turned out that Drogba, who was nearby, threw himself on him. Overwhelming him again on the turf of the Schalke Stadium, this made everyone around, including Porto's players, stare.

Being overwhelmed by such a thick and thick elephant, it really makes people worry about whether the ribs have been crushed or broken!

But the crazy players didn't pay attention to so much. After getting up from the ground, Lampard quickly rushed to the sidelines and held hands with Ronaldinho. The crazy Blues vice-captain even directly After forcing a kiss on Ronaldinho's sweaty forehead, the two cheered and celebrated for the camera on the sidelines.

One after another, Chelsea players came to the sidelines and went to two cities in a row. There is not much suspense in this game!

"Ronaldinho's performance in this game was really outstanding. The first goal fully demonstrated his magical personal skills. He completely defeated Ferreira, the best right-hander in Europe. The defender was like a wooden stake, and the second goal showed his team awareness and very keen tactical sense."

"At that time, if Davis was chosen, the Dutch wild boar would definitely hit the goal directly. There was still a threat, but the success rate was not high, but the success rate of choosing Lampard was higher, but the risk was also great. If Lampard If there is no understanding, the ball will definitely be resolved by Carvalho. It can be said that this is a very bold choice."

"Mourinho paid a heavy price for his greed and aggressiveness. Maybe Ye Qiu and his Chelsea have been patiently waiting for Porto to come out and play, and the lag in the first half forced an equalizer. An eager Porto had to counter-attack in the second half, which fell directly into Chelsea's trap."

"Using counterattacks to break the goal of the team that is best at counterattacks is very interesting. From this game to the present, in more than an hour, it is not difficult for us to see that Ye Qiu With his Chelsea, whether it is on the scene or at the tactical level, they have firmly controlled the initiative, and Porto does not have the kind of dark horse temperament that the outside world guesses."

"This can't help but remind us of what Ye Qiu's old friend Bobby Harms, the assistant coach of the Eredivisie giants Ajax said not long ago, that the final will definitely end in Chelsea's victory, because Ye Qiu is completely Black Mark Star!"

As if hit by the second goal, the morale of Mourinho and Porto was obviously drained. 2 goals behind and 1 goal behind are two completely different situations. Now even Mourinho There is no absolute certainty that these two goals can be recovered, let alone the players.

But in the end, Mourinho still made a substitution. On the one hand, he replaced Thiago, who performed poorly in this game, with Emmanuel, and then replaced Delly with McCarthy. He didn't get many chances in the game, and his performance was also very sluggish, without the slightest high spirits when he beat Manchester United and Deportivo.

Seeing that Porto made a substitution, Ye Qiu followed suit with his final trump card.
