Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 205 Mourinho made a mistake, Manchester City fought back!
For Chelsea, Schurrle's goal came very timely!
After more than 30 minutes of onslaught, the Chelsea players consumed a lot both in terms of physical strength and high morale before the start of the war.

And Manchester City's lineup of half main force and half substitute has slowly adapted to Chelsea's offensive rhythm after withstood the opponent's opening onslaught.

If Chelsea can't score as soon as possible at this time, the more they delay, the worse it will be for them.

Although Manchester City really wants to win this game, but in the case of an uneven lineup, a draw is acceptable.

However, Schurrle's goal changed all that.

"Pretty!"

In the box, after seeing the goal, Abramovich waved his fist excitedly, stood up and applauded all Chelsea players.

The most difficult thing for Chelsea is that the front is weak and it is difficult to score.

But once they take the lead, with Chelsea's defensive ability, it is not difficult to keep this score.

What's more, Manchester City's current lineup is incomplete. What can they use to break through the Blues' defense?
On the sidelines, on the coaching bench of the home team, Mourinho thought the same way.

The moment he scored the goal, he was so excited that he wanted to jump up and celebrate wildly, but when he thought of maintaining a strong and calm posture in front of the reporters and fans on the scene, Mourinho forcibly resisted this impulse.

He calmly picked up a bottle of water and took a sip, sat comfortably on the coach's bench, indifferent to the wild celebrations of the others around him, with an appearance of being in complete control of the game.

A master should maintain the demeanor of a master, and the mast and scull will be wiped out while talking and laughing. This is the realm he pursues!

Many of the cameras and reporters on the scene were tracking the reactions of the coaches of the two teams.

Seeing Mourinho's calm appearance, they couldn't help admiring, "His real name is handsome!"

Even Abramovich felt very relieved when he saw Mourinho's calm face in the box.

Although Jose has a bad temper and a tough personality, he is indeed very capable.

With the team in his hands, Blues fans tend to feel more at ease.

If the team can solve the problems on the front line, then Chelsea is still worth looking forward to in the league and the Champions League this season.

Thinking of this, some dissatisfaction with Mourinho accumulated in Abramovich's heart because of the club's affairs has also dissipated a lot.

……

On the other side of the box, Emma Watson was as excited as the fans in the stands after seeing Chelsea score first.

She clapped her hands vigorously and shouted hello loudly, she didn't care if her palms were red.

It was the first time for Lily Collins to see her like this, and for a moment she was scorched by Lei.

Is this still the lady I knew before?
"Don't worry so much when watching football. It's already tiring enough to be a person wearing a mask all day long. What you have to do at this time is to let go of all defenses and relax yourself completely. Do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing her friend's surprised expression, Emma Watson encouraged her.

"Well, you're right!"

Lily Collins rolled up her sleeves and approached Emma Watson.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Emma turned pale in shock and backed away in a hurry.

"It's nothing, I just want to beat you up because you look very awkward!"

Lily Collins continued to approach with a smirk.

"Ah, I see!"

"It must be because Chelsea is ahead of your team, so you are upset...ahhaha, stop scratching, I was wrong...haha..."

"You know too much, wake up, Hermione!"

……

Chelsea's morale was really boosted after scoring a goal. Taking advantage of the first half before the end, they launched a more violent attack on Manchester City's goal.

Torres, who scored twice in the last game, was particularly active in the game. Several shots made Manchester City fans break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Chelsea's offensive was a bit unstoppable, Manchester City's players had to increase the number of fouls and survived this difficult time at the cost of two yellow cards.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City returned to the locker room with a score of 0:1 behind.

When leaving the field, the jerseys of Lin Quan and Hazard, the frontcourt cores of the two teams, were covered with mud.

As the blasters of their respective teams, both of them were under the focus of the opponent's attention in the first half, and they were violated the most times.

The difference is that although Lin Quan's jersey looks very embarrassed, his state has not been affected by it.

On the contrary, it was Hazard. Nastasic’s tackle in the 42nd minute of the first half kicked him hard. Until now, the part where he was kicked is still aching, so he returned to the locker room On the way, Hazard was limping and looked injured.

In the dressing room of Manchester City, the mood of the players seemed a little low.

They were almost pushed and beaten by Chelsea throughout the first half, and they were passive throughout the whole process, which seriously setback the self-confidence of these players.

"You guys did a good job in the first half. Although the score is behind, it's not your fault!"

Seeing that the players were not in high spirits, instead of reprimanding them, Pellegrini took the initiative to encourage and comfort them.

"Stamford Bridge has never been an easy place to attack. Even if we have a neat lineup and no injuries, the probability of winning Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is probably less than [-]%!"

This sentence is not intended to make others want to destroy their own prestige. Since Mourinho coached Chelsea, Chelsea's home court is the most difficult home court in the Premier League.

Chelsea once created a brilliant record of unbeaten at home in 86 rounds.

At that time, no matter who came to Stamford Bridge, they couldn't take advantage of it, and they all returned home.

Although after Mourinho left, Chelsea's home unbeaten myth was ended.

But the iron-blooded defensive genes of the Blues have long been planted by Mourinho.

And this season, with the return of Mourinho, Stamford Bridge is destined to become the last place other Premier League teams want to come.

Pellegrini's consolation had a certain effect, and Manchester City's players gradually recovered from their self-doubt.

They all raised their heads and looked at their head coach, wanting to know what arrangements he had for the second half of the game.

"We were behind and had to find a way to equalize.

And Mourinho is a representative of utilitarian football, so Chelsea is very likely to play defensive counterattack tactics in the second half.

If the time drags on, our hope of equalizing the score will become less and less, and we may even be successfully counterattacked by the opponent because of our rush to attack.

Therefore, we need to grab a start before their defensive formation falls! "

Pellegrini took out his tactical board and wrote and drew on it.

"Negredo, after the start of the second half, don't worry about the situation behind you, go all out and go forward. Your task is to disrupt Chelsea's defensive formation and attract the opponent's attention as much as possible!"

"Jovetic, I need you to appear in the position of the shadow striker. After passing the ball, go forward quickly. If there is a chance to shoot, don't hesitate, understand?"

The two nodded heavily. Both of them were substitutes. This time they were able to start the game, so they naturally didn't want to leave a bad impression on the coach.

Pellegrini then instructed the two full-backs to actively insert, assist and respond to teammates when attacking.

In addition, when defending, they also need to retreat as soon as possible to protect the team's defense and keep it intact.

After explaining the tactics, Pellegrini said a few time points.

"At these points in time, we quickly switched from defense to offense. When our opponents are not adapting to our tactical changes, we caught them off guard!"

Finally, Pellegrini found Lin Quan and said to him:
"Lin, Chelsea's defense against you is very tight, so I plan to use this to make a fuss."

Lin Quan nodded and said, "Tell me, coach, I will implement the team's tactics!"

"Very good, I hope you can appear on the right, and our offense will revolve around you. After attracting Chelsea's attention to the right, change the direction and complete the final blow."

Is it a tactic of smacking east and west?

Lin Quan understood Pellegrini's thoughts. The team's right winger Navas was sick and truce, but the left winger Nasri was still on the field.

With his strength, as long as he creates an opportunity and entrusts him with the mission of the last blow, the chance of success is indeed not small.

But the premise is that he must be able to successfully attract enough hatred on the right side, so that Chelsea's players can fully focus on themselves.

Only in this way can Nasri have a chance.

As for the tactical arrangements of Jovetic, Negredo and others, they are all pretense used by Pellegrini to confuse Mourinho.

The second half started quickly.

Manchester City launched a fierce attack on Chelsea as soon as they came up.

After Negredo kicked off, he rushed towards Chelsea's half at full speed, and after Jovetic passed the ball to Lin Quan on the wing, he also rushed forward decisively.

At the same time, the players in Manchester City's midfield and backcourt also pressed forward one after another. For a while, seven or eight Manchester City players rushed across the half and participated in the attack.

On the sidelines, after Mourinho saw this scene, the expression on his face was still very calm.

Manchester City's attacking tactics at the beginning had long been within his expectations, and he had often used this tactic before, so how could he not be on guard?
Thinking of this, Mourinho glanced at Pellegrini on the coaching bench of the visiting team.

The two have played against each other many times in La Liga. Pellegrini's level is not worth mentioning in Mourinho's view.

He won this game!
After seeing the opponent's aggressive attack, the Chelsea players quickly retreated, and several defensive lines remained very intact.

When Manchester City's offensive advanced beyond the 30-meter area, it was already a bit impossible to get in.

"Huh, is that all?"

Seeing that the opponent's attack was contained, Mourinho seemed dismissive.

With a big wave of his hand, Chelsea's players launched an attack.

The old boy Pellegrini probably thought he would play a defensive counterattack after leading, but Mourinho was not prepared to do so.

"Huh? Chelsea is this?"

"They don't play defensive counterattack?"

On Manchester City's coaching staff, after seeing Chelsea's choice, the assistant coaches were very surprised.

Chelsea's offensive ability is not strong, and their offensive firepower in the league can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches.

What they are really strong in is their defensive ability. What kind of operation is this to give up their strengths and develop their weaknesses?
Is Mourinho old and confused?
In the stands, including in the box, Chelsea fans and owner Abramovich also seemed a little stunned after seeing Mourinho's choice.

"Coach Mourinho did not choose to play a defensive counterattack conservatively after taking the lead. Instead, he continued to strengthen the offense. It seems that he intends to use offensive football to win the game today!"

"Hehe, no wonder the outside world calls him a madman. This choice is indeed crazy!"

"But the risk is also great. As we all know, Chelsea's striker has not been very strong in recent seasons!"

In the commentary booth, the commentators were also a little confused about Mourinho's choice.

But when you think of Mourinho's arrogant character, this choice is also in line with people's impression of him.

On the court, Oscar, Schurrle, Torres, Hazard and others all played very hard.

They really want to get rid of the outside world's stereotype of Chelsea's 'weak offense and strong defense'.

The home game against Manchester City is their best chance to prove their offensive strength.

Mourinho is very good at mobilizing the fighting spirit of the players. He uses all kinds of criticism and belittling of Chelsea's strikers from the outside world to stimulate his players, giving them a feeling that the whole world is against me.

Then, under the mobilization of Mourinho, he showed his fighting spirit and slapped those who criticized and belittled them in the face!

Affected by this, the players in Chelsea's frontcourt, one by one, were tireless, unafraid of injury, galloping all over the field, attacking like crazy.

From the 47th minute until the 65th minute, Chelsea besieged Manchester City's goal for 10 minutes!

The Blues fans at the scene saw the team's offensive wave after wave, and one wave was higher than the other. Everyone watched with enthusiasm and tears filled their eyes with excitement!

It's not easy!

I didn't expect to see my blue team play this kind of offensive football one day!
Changing into a team uniform, those who didn't know thought it was Barcelona playing on the field!

In the box, Chelsea's boss Abramovich nodded again and again, and even couldn't help applauding Mourinho.

His dissatisfaction with Mourinho, in addition to the opponent's character, is mainly because he wants to see the Blues play pleasing offensive football while winning the championship.

Although Mourinho's defensive counterattack can be honored, the game was played ugly, which was far from what he thought in his heart.

After re-inviting Mourinho back, Abramovich has gradually given up this unrealistic idea in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho brought him a surprise: Chelsea switched to offensive football!

"Keep going like this, Jose, start by winning Manchester City and make Chelsea's attacking football famous in Europe!"

Abu couldn't help looking forward to it.

However, in the 65th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

After being suppressed by Chelsea for 20 minutes, Manchester City suddenly began to fight back in an all-round way.

Chelsea was really caught off guard this time.

I've only seen those who grab the start, but never the one who grabs the middle.

Although they had retreated across the board at the fastest speed, they were still a step behind.

The ball was led by Lin Quan all the way to the front of Chelsea's penalty area. At this time, Negredo had already entered the penalty area, and Jovetic was also advancing quickly.

However, because he had advanced to complete a shot before, the Blues players were on guard against him. Lampard has been following him closely and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.

Seeing that Lin Quan was stopped, and Manchester City's other support points were also marked to death by defensive players.

Manchester City's counterattack seemed to end without a problem like before, and Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, after attracting the ideas of a large number of defensive players, Lin Quan did not choose to break through with the ball, but made a long pass and accurately transferred the ball to the left.

The right side of Chelsea's penalty area was completely empty at this time, but Manchester City's left winger Nasri appeared here like a ghost.

In the absence of defense, he broke the goal of Chelsea with a burst shot.

The score became 1:1.

Manchester City equalized the score!
