Mallorca began to advance layer by layer - they did not launch a violent attack from the beginning, because they knew in their hearts that facing an opponent like Chelsea, rushing and attacking would not actually have much effect. After all, Chelsea's midfield defense and overall defensive capabilities are first-rate. Even if Mourinho is no longer here, the steel defense line he built will not break down for a while.
To deal with such a team, you must be patient. The more patient you are, the more likely you are to get a chance.
Seeing that Mallorca began to advance through layers of passes back and forth, Chelsea did not appear impatient, but faced it in a very orderly manner, starting from the midfield with layers of pressing. It was not running crazy to intercept, but Try to keep an eye on Mallorca's offensive players one-on-one to reduce their room for passing.
Obviously, Grant still put in a lot of effort. The most threatening part of Mallorca is always their offense. Defense alone is not enough, and offense alone is not enough. They can only try to intercept their midfielders as much as possible. The pass cannot be carried out smoothly. Only by reducing the number of their attacks and increasing the number of their own attacks can they win.
To put it bluntly, it means that it cannot be worse than Mallorca in terms of offense and defense - this is a theoretical solution. For example, to kill a grand master, two grand masters have to take action. The whole world is thinking about how to do this. To be able to defeat Mallorca, as long as we find a team with more stars than Mallorca, better overall coordination than Mallorca, better defense than Mallorca, and better offense than Mallorca, there is a great possibility. Able to beat Mallorca
"Of course this is nonsense, but with Chelsea's overall strength, it is still possible to compete with Mallorca.
Mallorca's forward attack was somewhat difficult to advance under Chelsea's targeted pressing. As soon as Ballack got the ball in the midfield, Mikel pushed towards him. Ballack quickly passed the ball to Alonso. Alonso got the ball under Lampard's pressure and quickly passed it straight, wanting to hand it to Klose in front to let him distribute the ball and organize the attack.
Joe Cole, who retreated to the midfield, unexpectedly made a beautiful steal. He intercepted Alonso's pass to Klose and then quickly passed the ball to Lampard in front. Lampard took it. The ball was then passed directly to Drogba in front. Drogba took the ball and turned around. When Mathias quickly approached him, he forced a breakthrough. After colliding with Mathias, he suddenly took off and kicked 25 meters away from the goal. Take a shot from far away!
This shot was still of high quality despite the interference of Matias. The ball first flew in a straight line, and then made a slight downward arc under the force of the air. Van der Sar flew to save it with a single palm. Blocked the ball out of the baseline, corner kick!
Drogba's shot caused a burst of fierce applause from the Chelsea fans in the stands. Being able to use such a shot to start the game at home is also a shot in the arm for Chelsea fans!
Lampard took a corner kick, but Pepe grabbed the ball before Carvalho. However, Pepe failed to push the ball far due to Carvalho's interference. Mikel intercepted the ball outside the penalty area. Then he quickly distributed the ball, and Essien, who came in from the right, met the flying ball with a blast!
Essien is also an excellent slugger, but this time his long-range shot was powerful and fast enough, but the angle was a little off. The ball flew directly out of the baseline, almost injuring a fan who couldn't avoid it
¡°It seems Chelsea wants to maximize their power¡±
Jose was thinking on the sidelines. His idea was not wrong. Chelsea had no plans to play technical games with Mallorca. Instead, they directly used the simplest and crudest way to attack. Once they got the ball, they handed it to Drogba and used it. His physique and ball control allowed him to fight alone in the frontcourt. If he had a chance to shoot, he would shoot. If he didn't have a chance, he would distribute the ball. Then he would organize the attack through Lampard or Kalaw and Joe Cole on both wings. Although Chelsea's bench strength is not very good now, the overall strength of the main lineup is still quite impressive. This tactic can fit their characteristics well and can also vaguely restrain Mallorca's technical style of play.
What the technical style of play is least afraid of is passing back and forth to attack, but what is afraid of is this simple and crude running, interception and counterattack. However, Jose and Mallorca have adapted to this situation. Now Mallorca is on the court. He is a player who can run, rush and fight. Even if he doesn't play with skills and plays with confrontation, he is not much different!
Mallorca also played a simple and rough game next - two minutes later, Ballack intercepted the ball from Joe Cole in the backcourt, and then quickly passed the ball to the right winger. Maicon, Maicon dribbled the ball straight along the wing, and rushed to the area close to 30 meters before passing the ball to Kak¨¢ who was responding in the middle. Kak¨¢ took the ball and pretended to shoot. After attracting Makelele's After paying attention, it quicklyHe raised his foot and drove straight into the ribs of Chelsea's penalty area. After receiving the ball, Henry quickly accelerated and rushed past Carvalho, and then decisively pushed the shot to the near corner from a very small angle. He was knocked down by the responsive Cech. Save the ball from the baseline.
It¡¯s also a corner kick.
When Matias, Pepe and others rushed into Chelsea's penalty area, Chelsea's defenders also became nervous. Their set-piece offense was very threatening, but Mallorca's set-piece offense was equally effective. threaten.
Mallorca has no fewer high points than Chelsea in the penalty area. With Matias, Pepe, Ballack and Klose who is an excellent header, Mallorca is even better than Chelsea in this aspect, and outside the penalty area Among the long-range shots, Kak¨¢ is a top slugger, and Rise Maicon¡¯s long-range shooting ability is not bad. However, in order to prevent the opponent¡¯s counterattack, Maicon and Rise usually press hard when getting set pieces. Not too far back.
Therefore, among such set kicks, Mallorca's most threatening one is the header in the penalty area.
Alonso drove the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area. Players from both sides jumped up and scrambled for the landing spot. Terry violently collided with Mathias in the air. Mathias's center of gravity was slightly off, but he still tried hard to grab it. When you reach the first point of impact, swing your head and attack the goal!
Cech once again made a wonderful save, flying to save the ball. Cole, who was at the back point, immediately made a big kick!
Chelsea fans let out a sigh of relief. Chelsea had just created two good opportunities, and Mallorca immediately responded with a ferocious attack. This kind of rough attack, Mallorca It's quite threatening when fighting!
For a moment, even the most die-hard Chelsea fans were a little shaken - facing such an almost omnipotent team, can our team really win?
This kind of wavering will not reduce their love for the team, because they know that even if Chelsea is not the current giant status and is still an mediocre Premier League team, they will love Chelsea equally, but they still Very worried, worried that the team will not be able to win
It¡¯s just that they can waver, but Chelsea¡¯s players will not waver. Mallorca is a strong opponent. They have known it for a long time. This Chelsea team is basically the lineup that Mourinho has formed in the past three years, although many people came before Mourinho took office. Chelsea, but they have basically participated in the confrontation with Mallorca in the past three years.
They have won and lost. In the group stage, they each had one win and one loss. They can proudly say that Chelsea is the team with the best performance against Mallorca in the past three years. Even if Mallorca has shown another With their outstanding strength, they will not have any fear!
Two minutes after Mallorca's attack, Chelsea launched another attack. Lampard took the ball in the midfield and passed it straight to the penalty area. Drogba rushed towards the ball and used his speed to stop Matias. Behind him, however, Mathias made a decisive tackle, and beautifully scooped the ball out of the baseline from the side. Lampard took a corner kick, and Ballack, who was returning to defense, nodded the ball in front of him to clear the ball.
Five minutes later, Henry broke through and was knocked down by Carvalho. Mallorca won a direct free kick at the edge of the penalty area. Kaka, Ballack, and Riise all stood in front of the ball. Chelsea lined up six players. The wall blocked this side tightly. After Kaka pretended to run, Riise directly hit the goal hard. The ball hit the wall and bounced back. Ballack followed up with another kick, but was saved again. Makelele blocked the ball with his chest.
By blocking the bullet hole twice in a row, Chelsea players showed their unyielding courage!
"What an excellent team, the great wealth left by Mourinho" Even Jose sighed. Mourinho is indeed a top coach. At least at Chelsea, he is attentive. This legacy has even influenced the present and future of the entire team for a long time. In the world in which Jose was reborn, Chelsea was able to win the Champions League five years after Mourinho dismissed get out of class. It was Mourinho who played the role. The group of old guys left behind by Rinho - Terry, Lampard, Drogba
Although the subsequent coaching at Inter Milan was criticized as "only focusing on temporary results, and quickly declining after overdrawing all the strength in one season", for a team, the most important thing is the current results, or the so-called future? You ask any fan, do you want your team to achieve unprecedented brilliant results in a certain season and then decline in the next few years, or even pay off debts for this glory, or do you want your team to always play well? It's mediocre, I can see hope every year, I'm at the top of the league every year, but I always can't win a championship?
???At least for those who have waited for a league championship for seventeen years, waiting for a championshipFor Inter Milan fans who have waited for 42 years to win the Armed Forces Cup, the brilliance of the Triple Crown at that moment is eternal and makes them willing to sacrifice even if they cannot win a championship in the next five or even ten years. The price!
Perhaps for the team's board of directors, it is enough to be at the top of the league every year, to be able to participate in the Champions League, to make good profits, and to keep the entire team's finances in balance. However, for the fans, they What they are looking forward to is not just this. What they want is a brilliant and brilliant season. Even if the consequences and consequences of such a season are that they will miss any championships in the next few years and may even be in danger of being relegated, they still No matter what!
"I don't want anything that lasts forever, I just want what I once had."
Chelsea still have the spirit that Mourinho left behind. Even though their leader is no longer here, they are still able to bravely attack the powerful Mallorca and use their Ability to cause huge trouble to Mallorca!
"What a respectable teamMourinho, this guy" Jose muttered in his heart.
