Chapter 555
Mourinho's analysis was very correct. Although the Forest team beat Chelsea 2:1 in the first round and scored two away goals, Tang En, who returned to the city stadium, did not say that he would use offense to suppress Chelsea at home. , but adopted the defensive counterattack tactics that the Forest team is best at.

It was reasonable for Tang En to do so.With the overall score leading, he doesn't need to press out frantically to face off against the enemy, which will instead create a void in the defense and give the opponent a chance to score.Defensive counterattack is the best way. Switch the roles of yourself and the opponent, grasp the mentality of the backward team wanting to score as soon as possible, deal with them patiently, and then look for a fatal counterattack at the right time to further expand the score gap and completely wipe out the opponent. The opponent's confidence and fighting spirit.

If you want to win, this is the safest way.

At the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest, who played at home, put on a defensive counterattack posture-they kicked off the ball, but there were only three players involved in the first attack. In the end, Ruud van Nistelrooy was forced into the penalty area by Terry's close press Hastily kicked a long-range shot from outside, the king of the small penalty area was out of the penalty area, the threat was greatly reduced, and the ball was shot into an anti-aircraft gun.

After hastily ending the attack, the forest team's offensive quickly receded like a tide rushing ashore.

They put up a tight defensive formation in their second half, waiting for Chelsea to attack.

Tang En sat on the coach's bench and crossed his legs.Chelsea will definitely press up very eagerly. I just need to wait for them to surrender possession of the ball, and then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Chelsea seemed to be playing exactly as he envisioned.

More than half of the Blues rushed up to participate in the attack, but there was nothing they could do about Nottingham Forest's "iron barrel formation". After three passes and two downs, the ball was lost.

Chimbonda intercepted Robben's ball and passed it to van der Vaart.

This is a great opportunity for the Forest team to launch a counterattack!
Immediately, the forest shouted excitedly to the fans from the stands.

They have seen such a scene countless times. Few teams can resist the forest team's quick counterattack!

The football was still in the second half and Van der Vaart was in no hurry to pass it on.He decided to observe the situation first...

Just when he raised his head to confirm the position of his teammates, a sudden oppressive force hit him.His intuition told him that this was Chelsea's counter-grab, and he wanted to pass the football in a hurry, but he missed it!
"Makelele broke the ball! Van der Vaart was too careless, did he think it was his own half and he was safe?"

Van der Vaart suddenly conceded the ball, and the Forest team fell into an extremely passive situation, because just now Ribery, Lennon, Eastwood and Ruud van Nistelrooy all completed the action of switching from defense to offense in an instant. Now they are sprinting towards each other's goal...

The forest team lacks defensive strength!
Makelele, who broke the ball, did not let the football stay under his feet for a second, and passed the football to Robben who had already inserted it.

Facing Zimbunda who was in a hurry to fight, Robben used his speed to overtake and overtake the Frenchman on the outside.

It was just a good situation for the Forest team to prepare for a counterattack, but it turned into Chelsea's counterattack on the spot in a few seconds.The forest team did not expect this from top to bottom. The defensive organization was too hasty and too loose.

"Go fill it!" Piqué shouted to Kompany, the Belgian kid is the closest to Robben.

Kompany desperately ran to cover the defense, at this time Robben was already about to enter the penalty area.He decided to take a risky tackle, even if he fouled, he would not be allowed to enter the penalty area, and once he entered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Kompany, who was running at high speed, shoveled towards Robben.

Tang En, who saw this scene off the court, hugged his head. This was really the most reckless choice...

There is no doubt that Robben easily dunked the shoveling Kompany, and then broke into the penalty area.

The cheers of Chelsea fans overwhelmed the fans of Nottingham Forest at this moment, and they saw the hope of scoring.

Robben lifted his foot to make a pass, but the football was blocked by a leg just out of the baseline.

"George Wood!" It was Wood who rushed back and blocked Robben's cross, resolving a crisis.Running from the midfielder position to the penalty area, he made a temporary cameo as a central defender.

Mourinho had risen from his seat, and he wanted to celebrate the goal, only to see a failed attack in the end.He waved his hand angrily, and sat back down again.

Robben held his head in both hands. He could see clearly before breaking through Kompany. At that time, the Forest team did not have too many defensive players in front of the goal. As long as the ball was passed in front of the goal, Drogba would be able to poke the ball.Unexpectedly, in just a blink of an eye, the ubiquitous Wood appeared on the passing route.

This person's speed is not much slower than his own...

"Chelsea got a corner in the first 2 minutes, they seem to want to turn away here? If that's the case, this game will be interesting."

Van der Vaart apologized for conceding the ball so easily, but no one blamed him.Who would have thought that Makelele could rush to the 30-meter area to grab the ball?Everyone completely ignored the little black man.

Chelsea's corner kick was taken. Kompany, who was easily missed by Robben just now, intends to make up for his mistakes. He jumped up in the crowded penalty area and pushed the football out high.

The Nottingham Forest players didn't catch the ball, but Essien, who was ambushing outside the penalty area, shot the ball directly in the air, trying to take advantage of the chaos and score the goal.

The football hit Piqué and was ejected again, this time it was Wood who received the ball.He was going to turn around and pass to Ribery on the wing, but he was pushed down from behind just as he turned around.

"This time it was Makelele's foul, he prevented a quick counterattack by the Forest team!"

The referee's whistle blew. It was a foul by Chelsea, but as the commentator said, they used a negligible foul to prevent the Forest team's quick counterattack. Who suffered the greater loss?it goes without saying.

Wood, who was knocked to the ground, slapped the ground a little angrily. He was not mentally prepared for this collision, and more importantly, he would be knocked out of the center and fell to the ground, causing the team's fast break It is forced to end here.

At this time, a black hand appeared in front of his eyes.

He raised his head and found that it was Makelele, the perpetrator.

Makelele stretched out his hand to him with a smile that could never make anyone angry.Wood didn't get angry at Makelele's foul, but he didn't accept the opponent's kindness either. He turned a blind eye to the hand stretched out in front of him, and got up from the ground by himself.

Makelele was not annoyed by Wood's attitude, he just smiled and ran away.

The Forest team got a free kick in the backcourt. Wood was about to kick it. He stood in front of the ball and looked up at the situation in front of him-except for the striker, all Chelsea players had returned to defense.Faced with such a situation, it will definitely not work if you want to play a quick attack.

Wood had no choice but to kick the ball to Chimbonda on the flank, and the Forest team played backwards in the backcourt, looking for a way forward.Helplessly, the opponent has already set up a defensive formation, and it is not easy to find it again.

Van der Vaart was waiting for the ball to pass, but found that the football hadn't come for a long time, so he had to run back to meet it.

The Forest team's offense was considered to have found a suitable candidate. Wood passed the football to Van der Vaart and stayed behind to defend firmly.

Van der Vaart organized an attack after receiving the ball, but because the two wingers needed to take into account the space behind them, the pressure was not thorough enough, and the attack was aborted.

As the game time passed, Tang En, who was sitting on the coach's bench, discovered one thing - it became very difficult for his team to quickly advance when switching from defense to offense.

The reason is Chelsea's relentless pressing and crazy fouls in the frontcourt.

The forest team, which was not mentally prepared, was very uncomfortable facing Chelsea's mad dog-like full-court press, and made frequent mistakes, let alone organize a quick counterattack.

This was completely different from Chelsea's performance in the first round. Twain did not expect Mourinho to play this move before the game.He turned his head to look at the visiting team's bench next door.

Mourinho sat on the coach seat, also raised his legs.

Tang En didn't immediately get up and walk to the sidelines to yell. He still doesn't know what adjustments should be made. He just stared at the court and pondered countermeasures.

Chris Rack was very anxious about the situation in front of him. He stood up from his seat, walked out for a few steps and then sat back down.In this way, I use my actual actions to explain what is called "restless".

Tang En waved his hand: "David, can you sit down? My eyes are dazzled when you do this."

"Uh, sorry..." Chris Lark repeated, "Tony, we're in a bad situation."

"Of course I know."

"I think adjustments should be made early on."

"Of course I know that."

"then you……"

"The problem is that I still don't know what adjustments to make..." Dunn murmured while looking at the field.

Chris Lack heard him say this, and kept silent, concentrating on watching the game.

※ ※ ※

Mourinho's tactic is indeed very effective. Through the frenzied pressing in the frontcourt, not only did the forest team not be able to counterattack, but it also gave him some opportunities to launch counterattacks on the spot, threatening Van der Van der Sa guarded the goal.

As long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to blast the gate of Nottingham Forest!

With this in mind, Mourinho turned his head to look for Tang En. He found that Tang En did not stand up and go to the sidelines to direct the game because of this unfavorable situation. He was still sitting on the chair. The only change was that Erlang's legs were released. down.

He couldn't believe Tang En didn't see such an obvious tactic.Now it depends on how the other party moves.

※ ※ ※

"A, fight Chelsea, defend desperately, and make sure not to lose the ball. This kind of full-court pressing is very exhausting. When they are exhausted, the winner will naturally be us. B, change our offensive tactics and regain the midfield. Use our offense to suppress them." On the coach's bench, Tang En raised two fingers at the two assistant coaches. "Which one do you choose?"

Chris Lack thought for a while before saying: "It sounds... I think A is more confident. Chelsea's players will definitely enter a physical vacuum period in the second half of the second half. At that time, they will be in a mess both offensively and defensively. Then If we press up and attack again, just one goal can kill them!"

After listening to his words, Tang En turned his head and asked Tang: "Which one do you choose?"

"B." Tang answered concisely.

"reason?"

"We can't guarantee that if we play like A, we will be able to defend. Especially in the current situation...Chelsea seems to score goals at any time. Although the result of B is unclear, it can effectively reduce the defensive pressure." Tang analyzed .

Tang En nodded while listening, and he was more inclined to choose B.

"It will definitely be adjusted, but it will take some time to think carefully about how to do it..."

"What we lack most now is time. Chelsea may score at any time." Tang reminded with a blank face.

While talking, Chelsea finally scored.Their tireless efforts opened up the Forest team's so-called "indestructible reinforced concrete" defense.

It was a typical frontcourt press. When Lennon got the ball, he was still looking around, hoping that someone could come up to him.Unexpectedly, Chelsea pounced on the two players in one breath, snatched the ball in the chaos, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Before that, Chelsea had several chances like this, but unfortunately the last pass or the last shot was always close.

This time, Drogba lived up to the expectations of Mourinho and all his teammates, as well as all Chelsea fans. After receiving the ball, he kicked decisively, and the football flew into the goal from Van der Sar's armpit.

In a short period of time, the city stadium was only cheered by Chelsea fans. These people saw the dawn of advancing to the final!

"1:0! Chelsea took the lead in the away game and Drogba tied the total score at 2:2! But it's not enough! If Mourinho wants to go to Athens, he has to let the team score again the ball and not allow Nottingham Forest to score!"

※ ※ ※

Looking at the Chelsea players celebrating wildly on the field, Tang En wasn't too angry, but just gave Tang a white look: "A crow's mouth."

Then he got up from the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines, and shouted the names of several people while the opponent was celebrating a goal: "Wood! Van der Vaart! Come here!"

Two players heard the coach shouting and ran from the far end.

"Let's change our strategy." Tang En urged the two of them to his side. "Chelsea didn't want us to quickly pass through the midfield and hit them behind them through the full-court press. We will not pass through the midfield quickly. The midfield is the key to this game. Let me fight back." He clenched his fists.

Van der Vaart asked: "How to grab it, boss?"

"You are responsible for the entire offensive organization of the Forest team." Dunn pointed to Van der Vaart and said, "Control the football, don't pass the football in a hurry, our receivers will make mistakes of one kind or another under the pressure of the opponent. "

"But, boss, it's easier for us to be cut off. Didn't you see the goal just now?" Van der Vaart objected.

"Of course I saw it, so I called two people, not you alone." Tang En turned to Wood and said, "George, your only task in this game is to defend, I don't need you to participate in the offense, you know?" ?”

Wood nodded.

"Your task is to protect Van der Vaart and the ball at his feet, to protect him from being sieged easily, and if the ball is lost, immediately grab it back for me. Do everything possible to create opportunities for Van der Vaart to take the ball for a long time and find space for him. Interfering with organized attacks."

"no problem."

"The middle of the midfield is the key. Only when you survive can our wings fly." Dunn patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Don't worry about conceding the ball. Since they scored our goal, it's best Good thing to do is to send the ball back - and we'll get one of them! Go ahead, their celebrations are over."

The two ran back to the field, and the other players of the Forest team had already placed the football at the midpoint, waiting for the Chelsea players to return to their positions.

On the surface, this conceded goal did not have much impact on them.Maybe it's because even if they are 0:1 behind, this score will not cause them to be eliminated.Without those pressures in my heart, I will naturally be much more relaxed.

Another important reason is that this is only No. 17 minutes of the whole game. The people of the Forest team believe that they will have many opportunities to score goals in the remaining 10 minutes, after all, this is their home court.
