Yang Cheng’s feeling about football tactics is a bit like Yue Fei’s view of military tactics.

The soldiers are inconsistent, and the water is inconsistent, and the same is true for football tactics.

But at the same time, he also knows one thing that football tactics itself does not matter whether it is good or bad, whether it is offense or defense, whether it is proactive or negative. The key is to rely on the person who uses it and how he understands it.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

To a certain extent, Yang Cheng felt that Mourinho's tactics were really similar to himself. He was influenced by himself and whether he had studied his own game and tactical ideas. Yang Cheng had no way of knowing, because the Portuguese had never said this. He just kept emphasizing that he was self-taught, but he would not say who he learned.

But they really look like each other.

They all emphasize the overall team, the consistent pace, the occupation and control of rhythm, the situation, and the control of space. The difference is that Yang Cheng applies this concept to offense, while Mourinho applies this idea to defense, so this leads to two completely different tactics today, Liverpool and Chelsea.

But essentially, they are the same.

So when Liverpool meets Chelsea, it is like Mars hitting the earth, attracting the attention of countless fans. Whether it is fans or professionals, they are all looking forward to seeing which team wins and loses in these two teams with the same soul?

The game process is boring and dull. Although there are many passionate confrontations unique to the Premier League, you cannot see the refreshing and sharp fast attacks that Liverpool used to be, nor can you see the firm defense that Chelsea used to be sure to win.

All fans can only see the mistakes, and both sides are constantly showing the other party's mistakes and repurposing them.

One thing has been confirmed countless times in the football field. When a tactical master meets another tactical master, the final result is that the game becomes completely dull.

But that kind of tense emotion can infect Stamford Bridge Stadium and every fan in front of the TV.

That almost breathless feeling of oppression gives people the illusion that if anyone is a little careless or careless, he will fall into a situation where he will not return.

The fans in front of the TV stared at the TV screen intently, and refused to move away for a moment; the fans in the stands forgot to shout, and their eyes were staring at the stadium; the players on the stadium were all concentrating on their tasks, completely forgetting everything outside the stadium; while the coaches outside the stadium were standing on the sidelines, watching and analyzing the game progress.

"It's so depressing, it's really a bit unbearable!" Andy Grey took a deep breath and shouted deliberately.

"Both teams have almost played their own style and characteristics, but neither of them can easily break through the formation set by the other party."

"Chelsea's defense started with the forwards, and they launched active fighting and defense in three rounds of lines. Although they have not even shot, their defense is solid."

"Liverpool dare not be too fast. When organizing and planning the offense in an orderly manner, Yang Cheng will remind his players from time to time, not to be fast, because it is fast, it is easy to make mistakes. Once it makes a mistake, the opponent is likely to break the balance."

"Carrick was retreated to a deep position, and even almost equal to the central defender. Mourinho pushed Lampard forward, and Lampard was responsible for harassing and guarding Carrick. These two teammates from West Ham United are now fighting with bayonets and no one is willing to give up easily."

"Joe Kerr, who had the best ability to get the ball in Chelsea in the past, could not get the ball at will in this game. Glenn Johnson also did a good job of interference and defense. In addition, Liverpool's overall pressure, Chelsea lacked Duff's counterattack speed, which turned Chelsea's own half into a arena between both sides. Therefore, even if the Blues passed more than half an hour, they still failed to score even a shot."

"But compared with Chelsea's bad offense, Liverpool's offense seems to be loud and thunderous, with little rain, and it looks like the offensive is very strong, but there are not many attack opportunities that can really threaten Chelsea's goal."

"It can be said that the coaches of both sides have made very targeted arrangements for the opponent's tactics, and everyone wants to win this game. In this way, the game becomes a war of attrition."

The so-called war of attrition is to hurt one thousand enemies and to hurt eight hundred of them!

The live TV camera gave Yang Cheng on the sidelines. The picture happened to be taken from Yang Cheng's side, and Yang Cheng and Mourinho were photographed, both standing on the sidelines as if they were facing a great enemy. It was obvious that they were both affected by the atmosphere on the scene.

Now both sides are tense and it depends on who can last until the end.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and took advantage of the opportunity to kill the ball and pulled Gerald over.

"Move forward more and shoot farther, I will give you unlimited power to fire!" Yang Cheng hit Gerald's shoulder and gave him enough trust.

Gerald was panting very hard. In such a game, he consumed very seriously the physical energy of the players on both sides. However, after hearing Yang Cheng's words, he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely win this game!"

"Go!" Yang Cheng patted Gerald's back and brought him back to the stadium.

After Gerald went up, Essin was going back a little to protect Carrick. In addition, in order to get more sprint space, Yang Cheng asked Robben and Ronaldo to pull out a little, which made Liverpool's position look more like 4231.

But the position is dead, and Yang Cheng allowed them to decide their own running and handling the ball based on the situation on the field.

Chelsea's high-pressure defense has limited the entire half to a tight limit. If Yang Cheng uses tactics to limit the players, he will not have to play this game anymore and just admit defeat.

In this case, Liverpool should do everything possible to create and develop.

Soon, Liverpool launched another wave of offensive.

Reese dribbled the ball forward on the left, and Gerald ran over from the middle, echoing Robben who had retreated in front. Robben immediately knocked Gerald for cooperation after getting the ball, and Gerald passed directly behind him.

The Dutchman was very fast, crossing Ferreira and getting the ball on the wing, but Terry left the penalty area and blocked Robben's cross angle. The Dutchman had no choice but to knock back to Riser.

Thiago was right next to him, and Riser didn't dare to stick to the ball. After getting the ball, he passed the ball with the opportunity. Gerald took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and led the way to the middle along the penalty area line, obviously looking for an opportunity to kick.

Gerald is very good at this area, so when he saw him getting the ball at the front of the penalty area, Marklele immediately posted it and blocked Gerald and the goal to block his shooting angle.

But Gerald suddenly hit his right foot and drifted past Marclay. Without any hesitation, he directly shot hard.

The shooting was very powerful, from spiking away Maclale, to later starting to shooting, the whole process was just right, and both pace and strength were impeccable, so the shot was also very powerful and thunderous.

Chelsea fans at the Stamford Bridge Stadium were speechless, as if they were about to see the goal concealed.

Mourinho even clenched his fists, and he felt very dangerous.

Cech made a save, but the shot was very tricky and he was beyond his reach.

"Gerard, Gerald shot..." Andy Gray's voice was long, but soon, even the fans in front of the TV could hear it. A sound was very clear, and at the same time, the sound of the hearts of all the people watching the ball was heard, and it came from where the ball and the crossbar were contacted.

The entire crossbar was trembling, and the ball seemed to hit not on the crossbar, but on everyone's heart.

The ball flew to the right and was still in the penalty area.

Little Ronaldo rushed directly into the penalty area from the right, and Galas was pressing against him tightly, but the Frenchman was not as fast as Little Ronaldo. He wanted to foul, but he was already in the penalty area.

I saw the Portuguese facing the ball directly. When the ball hits the ball, it seems to be held by an invisible hand, placed in front of him, and then quickly chases up, and then shoots hard with another powerful shot.

The ball was pressed back against the ground and shot flew back towards the goal.

But Cech had already stood up and flew to save, blocked the shot that Ronaldo had accelerated and shot out. At this time, Terry, who ran back to assist in defense, directly hit the ball out of the baseline.

"Oh my God, Cech made an incredible save!" Andy Grey exclaimed.

"Liverpool's two consecutive shots were definitely worth it, but it was a pity that he failed to break through Chelsea's goal!"

"If it were normal, both shots should be able to score goals, but today it seems that Liverpool's shooting luck is not good. Once the crossbar and Cech were almost magical saves, they prevented Liverpool's scoring twice!"

The TV camera was given to Yang Cheng on the sidelines. He saw the Chinese people clenching their fists and making a thrust back and sending them back. They were muttering, probably complaining about their team's bad luck.

"Liverpool is indeed playing more positively. Chelsea has been about to end the first half since the start of the game, but they didn't even shoot once. Liverpool scored 6 shots, although they only had one shot at the front frame, but they almost scored twice. It's a pity."

Gerald and Ronaldo were so upset that they wanted to lift the turf under their feet. They were so depressed.

Both shots felt very good, with the pace, angle and strength just right, but they didn't even make it!

What else can you say besides saying that you have bad luck?

…………

…………

Such a good opportunity was not scored in two goals, and after that, Liverpool could no longer create threats, and in the end, he could only return to the clothes room with a score of 0:0.

It was obvious that the players were a little upset because they tried their best, but in the end they still failed to score.

But as soon as Yang Cheng walked into the clothesline, he encouraged and affirmed their performance.

"I think we performed very well in the first half, very well. Chelsea didn't even shoot a shot and was completely suppressed by us. So I believe that as long as we continue to maintain the tactics of the first half, the victory of the game will definitely belong to us!"

After a season, Yang Cheng has already established his authority in the dressing room and gained the trust of the players, so he said that he would believe it if he performed well.

"We have to play more patiently in the second half. Carrick, pass the ball to two more sides, and we have to actively open the two sides!"

The halftime break was only 15 minutes, and Yang Cheng was hurrying to adjust his tactics.

Carrick was naked and sweating all over his body. A masseur was massaged with his two big legs. He patted him and the sweat splashed out from his big legs. But after hearing Yang Cheng's words, he nodded immediately.

Yang Cheng came to him and looked at him, "I know you are tired, but you should think about it. What you are facing is Lampard, Joe Cole, Chelsea, and the person you once thought about defeating, then you will understand what you should do!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng no longer followed Carrick.

"Riser, Glen Johnson, we have to play more aggressively on the sidelines in the second half. Robben and Ronaldo should try to use their personal abilities to disrupt the opponent's defense, and you, Larson, more pull!"

He clapped his hands hard, "Robben, Ronaldo, Larson and Gerald, I will give you four people the right to run and fire in front of you. As long as you have the chance, you will beat me and fight to the death!"

The four players nodded immediately.

"Chelsea now clearly has to rely on defending until we are exhausted and can't run anymore. They will push forward and fight back, but we can't give them such a chance, so you all have to remember one thing for me, the whistle at the end of the game is not sounded, and the battle is not over yet!"

"I want a victory in this game!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng walked aside and asked the masseur to return the masseur and the team doctor to restore and return the masseur to the players.

He usually doesn't give players so much freedom, even if it's an offensive player, because it's too free and easy to get messy, but this game is very different.

Chelsea's back-to-back limit in the midfield and backcourt has almost been unparalleled. Once the ball enters their vital hinterland, it will be immediately encircled. If the players are not given more self-return, the situation will be very bad.

But giving them free play, no matter whether it is a breakthrough, a free kick opportunity won by an invasion, or a corner kick, they may break the deadlock on the court.

Yang Cheng has no doubt that if he continues to let the game develop towards the situation in the first half, he will lose in the end!

The situation here is very serious, and the players are exhausted very much, but Chelsea is also not having a good time.

As soon as all the players returned to the wardrobe room, they all fell on the seats. Several players even lay down like dogs, gasping for breath because they were too tired.

In this kind of attrition game, all the players were nervous and everyone was performing their tasks tremblingly, not daring to relax at all, and their physical energy consumption was more serious than usual.

To some extent, Chelsea is even more tired than Liverpool because they are passively defending, while Liverpool is actively attacking, and the latter also controls the speed and slowness of the game.

"How is it, man!" Mourinho smiled when he walked into the clothes room.
