Chapter 287 Black Mark Star
In fact, for Porto, it is not difficult to guess the moves.
If you see that it is difficult to open the situation in the middle, Mourinho's most likely choice is to take Carlos Alberto and replace Alenicev. However, although the 3l-year-old Russian has good skills and awareness, he has obviously no longer had the speed and assault ability of that year. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to play in Rome and Perugia.
But this Russian who is good at both left and right feet and the middle should pay attention.
"I don't know if Mourinho will make a substitution during the halftime break, but if it makes a substitution, I'm sure it will be Russian player Alenicev. Mourinho has two choices, one is to win Thiago and the other is to win Alberto.
Alenichev played as a midfielder before Porto. His passing and skills were good, and his speed was OK, but Mourinho asked him to play on the wing, and the effect was also ideal, so Ye Qiu really didn't know what to choose, so he could only adapt to the situation.
However, if Thiago is defeated, there will be two technical players, Alenicev and Alberto, in the frontcourt, which means that Porto is determined to counterattack. Ye Qiu has always refused to accept such counterattacks. The more the more, the better, but he also has to carefully arrange defensive tactics and intercept them in a targeted manner.
Mourinho's Porto is actually a top-notch team in the Portuguese Super League. Even in the European arena, due to the quality of players, it is definitely not as weak as the top-notch team. Needless to say, defense is, when Alenichev and Alberto start at the same time, the team is still very creative.
However, at this time, Porto plays a 44 tactic, and it is usually used when facing teams that are weaker than them. Playing with a strong team. Generally, Alenicev and Alberto only choose one of them, which is also to ensure the team's defensive strength.
As for Cardoso Mendez Thiago, who Mourinho relied on and introduced this season, this game was obviously under the control of Chelsea's Marklele, and he completely lost his due performance. This game did not help the team too much.
Ye Qiu in the locker room reminded the players to pay attention to the possible substitutions in the second half of Porto and the series of changes that followed, and especially reminded the players carefully that Porto may counterattack in the second half.
Put your heart in mind. If Ye Qiu is now the head coach of Porto, he will try his best to counterattack when he is behind 0l. The reason is very simple. He doesn't have much time left for him. If he continues to drag on, the more unfavorable it will be for Porto.
And Mourinho has to be wary of one thing, that is, if you continue to drag like this, it will also weaken and hit the team's morale. When he really wants to counterattack, the players may become more willing but less capable.
Ye Qiu dared to let Chelsea stabilize for 35 minutes before counterattacking. One very important reason is that many players in Chelsea have rich experience, especially the experience in major competitions. Other players have also experienced many years of professional competitions, and they are all relatively mature and stable.
If it were a team like Joe Kerr and Ribery, Ye Qiu would choose to attack because this type of young players would obviously not be able to hold back. If Ye Qiu pressed him down, it would have a heavy blow to the team's morale.
He lost the ball in the first half and was beaten so miserably by Chelsea in the final stage. If Mourinho did not quickly win back the game and restore morale, he probably wouldn't have to continue playing in this game. Chelsea did not counterattack, and they all stopped.
You should know that the head coach is setting up tactics not only to judge the situation, but also to consider the psychological changes and morale of the players.
With this idea, Ye Qiu also knew very clearly how to make a choice.
Although this may make Mourinho hate himself even more, who makes each other a desperate opponent?
There is a saying that we Chinese are right: facing our opponents means doing everything we can, because being kind to our opponents is cruel to ourselves, and Ye Qiu has no choice but to use any means to be considered very gentlemanly.
When the second half was re-started, everyone discovered that Porto had reversed the situation in the first half and actually took the initiative to attack.
But there is one thing that makes people notice that they are unable to do so at a glance, that is, they lack the wings.
Chelsea's two wingers are Macon and Evra. Although they are full-backs, in fact, they often act as wing forwards, or even wingers. The offensive method of inserting them makes their role in the team's offense more secretive and threatening.
But looking at Porto's entire lineup, 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.
The direct threat from Valente's side is not great, but the damn Drogba always avoids Joe Costa and goes to find Carvalho. Valente has to stick to the defense anytime, anywhere to prepare for defense.
Originally, if he played 44, Maniche was a left-wing forward, Portugal had both offense and defense in the midfield, and was also a good player in the full-back. But now Chelsea's midfield suppression is so strong that Maniche was even a little nervous to assist Costina and not much offensive investment.
In the end, everyone, even Mourinho, had to admit that if they wanted to make a threatening attack, they had to make substitutions.
To substitution, Alenicev is the best choice, because he can create opportunities on the wing, but who can be replaced is a question. If Thiago is replaced, the team will play 44 and rely solely on Mendes and Costinia to protect the defense line and both ribs, which is indeed unsure.
You should know that Ronaldinho dribbled the ball and cut inside and interspersed both ribs, and then asked his teammates to cooperate. This is Chelsea's magic weapon for winning a rough victory. The goal conceding in the first half was actually a mistake caused by Lampard's insertion into the right rib of the defense line.
It is not yet time to fight hard and storm. There is still so long that if you are not good, you will be omitted again and if Chelsea seizes the opportunity again, then you will be done.
In his previous life, someone commented on Mourinho, believing that he lacked a clever tactical sense. One of the important things is that his on-site substitutions often do not achieve the effect he should have, but rather acts with some impulse.
For example, replacing three players in one breath, or replacing a defender, replacing an offensive player, or Yu Qian directly pushed a central defender to the front to play a cameo. These are strictly not considered tactical changes that are highly praised. The reason is very simple, untargeted, very blind, and a little angry.
The most commendable game in Mourinho's life was that at Inter Milan, he encountered Barcelona's first leg in the semi-finals. That battle can be said to be the peak battle at the tactical level of Mourinho as the head coach.
Of course, it is undeniable that Mourinho is a very excellent and successful head coach, which is beyond doubt, but his expertise is not targeted before the game, or a skillful method of on-the-spot command, nor is it in the formation of a tactical system, but in his motivation for players and control of the locker room.
Someone once said that Mourinho's success in coaching is that he found a way to lead a team to the best level, remember that it is the method, not the tactical philosophy.
In Mourinho's winning method, psychological motivation is to strictly control the locker room with an iron fist and form a team with a strong integrity, which is undoubtedly the key factor.
We can't say whether the method is clever or the tactical concept is clever. In professional football, whoever can succeed at the end makes sense. There is no need to distinguish between the superior and inferior. We can only say that each other takes different routes and different choices. But it is obvious that now, when Mourinho's motivation has played a certain effect, allowing Porto players to muster up the courage to counterattack in the second half, he can't find a place to start.
In other words, with the courage and determination to counterattack, I don’t know where to attack
Chelsea has no obvious weaknesses, and the defense of both sides is weak and can be used, but now Mourinho does not have any wing players who can take advantage of this, so Alberto is more likely to retreat and get the ball.
So, after weighing it, Mourinho finally replaced Alberto with Alberto in the 56th minute, let Alberty go back to play on the right, Maniche hit the left, Thiago retreated and played three midfielders, and the team's tactics immediately became 45
This was not beyond Ye Qiu's expectations, because he had already taken all the variables that might appear in Porto before the game. Mourinho's substitution was not too surprising. He even used it many times in the past season. The game against Manchester United was also replaced, and the same was true for the same game against La Coruna.
After Ye Qiu made a substitution in Porto, he immediately walked to the sidelines and made a forward pressing action towards the player.
There is only one Delray left in the frontcourt. Although this player is good at speed, Ye Qiu doesn't need to be afraid of him alone. Moreover, he lets Davis and Deco both put up the positions, directly suppressing Porto's three midfielders, allowing Macon and Evra to suppress Porto's two wings, completely isolating Delray in the frontcourt.
Whether it is Maniche or Alenichev, his speed is far inferior to that of Macon and Evra. Especially for the 3l-year-old Russian veteran Alenichev, Ye Qiu specially recorded a video for the players to study before the game, and put a lot of effort into this.
In the minute, Porto made a quick attack. Delle got the ball in the middle and then passed it to Alenichev on the right. When the latter got the ball, Evra decisively chose to cut into the close and supported Alenichev with his body.
The Russian is 3l years old and is not a strong player. He is l meter tall and looks like the weak Ashavin. He was close to Evra and almost lost the ball. However, his technical ability and sense of ball are indeed very good. He quickly adjusted and wanted to pass the ball into the penalty area.
But at this time, Cannavaro had blocked the position. After getting the ball, he quickly passed it to Davis who was rushing back in front. Davis turned his back to the offensive direction and quickly passed the ball to Evra who wanted to step forward to participate in the attack after completing the defensive task.
After getting the ball, the French left-back formed a breakthrough on the left. Chelsea's entire formation was advancing rapidly and was about to launch a counterattack. Porto's defense line was retreating quickly, especially Carvalho. When he saw Drogba running behind him, he kept regressing faster.
Evra crossed the center line and raised his head. Seeing that Drogba was already raising his hand, he swung his left foot and made a long-distance oblique pass. The destination was the back point in the right corner of the small penalty area, looking for Drogba who was quickly inserted.
I have to say that Evra's long-distance pass was very fast, and he caught Porto off guard, but the landing point was much worse, which was a bit off, which caused Drogba to accommodate his landing point and be entangled by Carvalho.
The Portuguese central defender is indeed not very tall, but his kung fu is enough to make people suffer from headaches or even collapse. Even if a tough guy like Drogba is entangled by him, he will almost beat him up.
However, Drogba has an advantage in height and confrontation. Since he cannot choose to shoot by himself, he will choose to play the ball.
I saw the Ivorians rushing into the penalty area and immediately stood at the position, jumped high, headed the ball to pass Evra's long-distance diagonally to the left of the goal, hoping that a player would catch up and make up for it directly.
As it turns out, decisions made in this chaos often have no good results, so no one responded to Drogba's header. It was not until the ball left the penalty area that Ronaldinho caught up with the ball, and Ferreira also approached the first time to defend.
After getting the ball, Ronaldinho made a quick stop and tricked Ferreira. Although he lost the angle of cutting into the penalty area, he successfully avoided being blocked in the corner of the corner of the corner kick area and chose to retreat and dribble the ball on the left side of the penalty area.
At this time, Chelsea's second offensive echelon also came up. Davis and Lampard rushed up at the same time. Ronaldinho also saw the opportunity and rubbed a half-high ball with his right foot before Ferrera approached again.
The ball quickly crossed Joje Costa with a curve in the penalty area and landed in front of Carvalho.
But just when the Portuguese central defender wanted to rush forward to clear the ball, he found that a figure wearing a blue jersey was faster than him. Even if he entered the penalty area, he did not slow down at all. He flew directly to the fish and jumped to the top to face the ball.
The ball hit the man's head accurately, turned a direction, directly pressed against the right post, and entered the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"Counterattack, Chelsea made a very threatening counterattack against Porto, with a arc pass from Ronaldinho, Lampard, who was inserted in the back, jumped to the top, and scored the second goal in this game, scoring Chelsea's second goal."
After scoring the goal, Lampard wanted to get up from the ground quickly, but soon, he felt a gravitational force like a pressure on the top of the mountain. It turned out that Drogba, who was nearby, rushed onto him and pushed him over to the turf of Aohui Schalke Stadium, which made everyone around him, including the players in Porto, obviously widen their eyes.
Being overwhelmed by such a thick, stupid elephant, it really makes people worry if their ribs are broken
But the crazy players didn't pay attention to so much. After Lampard got up from the ground, he rushed to the sidelines and held Ronaldinho's hands together. The crazy Blues deputy captain even kissed Ronaldinho's sweaty forehead directly, and the two shouted to celebrate in front of the sidelines.
Chelsea players came to the sidelines one after another and scored two games in a row. There was no much suspense in this game.
"Ronaldinho's performance in this game was indeed very outstanding. The first goal fully reflected his magical personal skills. He completely made Ferrera, the best right-back in Europe, into a wooden stake, and the second goal even reflected his team consciousness and a very keen sense of tactical smell."
"If Davis was chosen at that time, the Dutch Boar would definitely shoot directly. There was still a threat, but the success rate was not high. However, the success rate of choosing Lampard was even greater, but the risk was also great. If Lampard did not understand it, the ball would definitely be resolved by Carvalho. It can be said that this was a very bold choice."
"Murinho paid a heavy price for his greed for merit and hard work. Perhaps Ye Qiu and his Chelsea have been waiting patiently for Porto to push out the opportunity to play, and the backwardness in the first half forced Porto, who was eager to equalize the score, to counterattack in the second half, which directly fell into Chelsea's trap."
"It has to be said that using counterattack to break through the goal of the team that is best at counterattacking is very interesting. From this game to now, it is not difficult to see that Ye Qiu and his Chelsea have firmly controlled the initiative, both in the scene and tactical aspects. Porto does not have the dark horse temperament that the outside world speculates."
"This reminds us of what Bobby Hams, an assistant coach of Eredivisie giant Ajax and his old friend of Ye Qiu, said not long ago that the final will definitely end with Chelsea's victory, because Ye Qiu is the complete dark horse nemesis."
As if he was hit by the second goal, Mourinho and Porto were obviously motivated, falling behind the ball and falling behind the ball were completely different in two situations. Now even Mourinho is not sure to recover these two goals, let alone the players.
But in the end, Mourinho made a substitution. On the one hand, Emmanuel replaced Thiago, who performed poorly in this game, and then replaced Delle with McCarthy. The latter did not get many opportunities in this game, and his performance was also very sluggish, without the slightest momentum of winning against Manchester United and La Coruña.
Seeing Porto substitution, Ye Qiu also used his last killer move.
