Chapter 522 Italian Defense

Chelsea's offensive slowed down due to physical problems, giving Roma some chance to breathe, and Rudy Garcia's hanging heart was also put back in his stomach.

He looked at Mourinho who stood up beside him, and couldn't help laughing in his heart: "Now it's your turn to be anxious. After more than 30 minutes of onslaught, you didn't score a single goal. This is not a good omen."

At the same time, he is also very proud. His players have done this. They defended their own goal and completely bankrupted Chelsea's attempt to end the battle quickly. This is something to be proud of.

He also glanced at the fans who scolded him in the stands, and murmured in his heart: "With your eyesight, if you are allowed to be coaches, it is estimated that more than two people have been admitted by now."

Rudy Garcia hopes that Mourinho will be more anxious and crazy. It is best to replace all the attacking players. In this way, it will be very easy to steal a goal. [

However, he saw that although Mourinho was standing there with obvious anxiety on his face, but he didn't intend to change players, he couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Mourinho is indeed in a hurry now. Roma's defensive tenacity is beyond his expectations. If he knows this, he might as well choose his old tactics, using defense to consume the opponent's physical strength in the first half, and then in the second half. Then came a powerful counterattack.

It seems that his expression is a bit complicated, but he does not mean disappointed, because he knows that at this time, what the players need is not his panic, but him to think calmly, and consider whether there is any way to make the current situation worse. This embarrassing situation has been reversed.

Who is he Mourinho?Many people are waiting to see his jokes, of course he will not show panic and disappointment here, otherwise the camera lens will give him a close-up.All the people in the world who hate him should be snickering, and those who love him.Disappointment may result.

He didn't want others to see his true thoughts.

After standing for a while, Mourinho walked to the sidelines.He waved his hand in the direction of his own goal, which means that he will temporarily withdraw his troops. Since the mad attack has not had any effect, let's make sure that the goal is not lost. During this period of time, Rome has a chance to counterattack and has already given his own goal. It has caused a huge threat. If you don't change it, you can only wait for one to be stolen by the other party.

"The defense of the Italian team is really not covered." This is not the first time Mourinho has played against an Italian team. He once coached Inter Milan.There are too many such experiences, but at that time, although Inter Milan's attacking group was strong, it still couldn't compare with this Chelsea team. He thought that it would be easy for Chelsea to destroy Roma's defense, but who knew it was not as smooth as imagined.

Once Chelsea takes the defensive position, Roma's attack can be played out, but Chelsea's defense is not covered. From last season to this season, the defense has basically been considered tight.As long as the defender does not make some low-level mistakes, basically there will be no major problems in defense.

So until the end of the first half of this game, the score between the two sides was still 0:0.

Chelsea failed to break through Roma's gate, and Roma failed to break through Chelsea's gate.At least the score of the two teams in the first half was a tie, although Chelsea had an absolute advantage on the scene, with a ball possession rate as high as 80%.But that doesn't make any sense, as Mourinho always tells his players.Possession rate means little, if FIFA feels that the victory of the game can be determined by possession rate.That's where possession becomes important.

Rudy Garcia is very satisfied with this result. After all, this is the Stamford Bridge Stadium and Chelsea's home court. I feel that Mourinho and Lin Yu are nothing special. Facing the solid defense of the Roma team, there are not many opportunities.

So at the end of the first half, when he returned to the locker room, Rudy Garcia had a relaxed smile on his face, and he even waved his fist in time to demonstrate to the fans who booed him.

In contrast, Mourinho hastily left the coach's bench and walked into the player tunnel 1 minute before the end of the first half. Obviously, his mood was not very good, and he was already thinking about it. What to do in the second half. After all, there are only 45 minutes of home time left. If you want to take the lead as much as possible during this time, you must think carefully.

And the media that followed the wind also began to praise Rudy Garcia's tactics, praised the Roma team for playing beautifully, and praised Rudy Garcia as a coach who did not lose to Mourinho.

"In terms of defense, Rudi Garcia is really no worse than Mourinho. Although the Roma team failed to score in the first half, it is not an easy task not to concede a goal in an away game. They did. It’s here, and that’s something that a lot of teams can’t do.”

"In the first-half duel, Mourinho lost to Rudi Garcia because his tactical strategy was completely seen through by Rudi Garcia and he made a strong counterattack. Mourinho wanted to attack hard , took the lead as early as possible, but Rudi Garcia got him back with an Italian defense."

"Where is Lin Yu, who claims to be the number one in the world? Did his feet go soft at the critical moment? Although he had a few good shots, he failed to score. It can only be regarded as a wave shot. His performance today is even worse. Not as good as our veteran - Prince Totti of Rome!"

"If today's game ends with this score, there is no doubt that Rudy Garcia and his team will be happy in the end. It is definitely not an easy thing to draw with Chelsea in the away game."

At this time in Chelsea's dressing room, Mourinho did not show any angry or disappointed expressions. Instead, he said calmly: "We were tied in the first half, why are the media reporters outside so happy? Actually The reason is very simple, because we are stronger! Everyone knows that we are stronger than Roma! So who can tell me, what should we do in the second half?"[

"Continue to attack!" Lin Yu was the first to shout.

"That's right, the opponent definitely didn't expect that we would continue to choose the same tactics after the attack failed!" Hazard nodded in agreement.

"It's really not enough for me to see the attack of the Roma team, Lin Yu, Schurle, Hazard. You don't have to come back to defend, just leave the midfield interception to me and Gundogan. We can do it." Ramirez also said.

"..."

The players expressed their opinions, but in the end there was only one meaning.That is to continue to attack, and there is no sign of low morale of the players, nor can they see any fatigue.

Mourinho smiled and said: "That's right, we just want to let the world see that not only can we fight back, but our ability to break dense defenses is equally strong! Lin Yu was seen too deadly in the first half , There are not many opportunities, so how about it, in the second half, Lin Yu, you take the initiative to lean to the right. Xuerle goes to the left, and Hazard, you go to the middle. "

"I play center forward?" Hazard asked with some surprise.

"No, the center is still Lin Yu. Who told you that the center cannot step aside? The side is easily overlooked. A center with good skills can fully take care of the responsibilities of the wing. We don't need to hold high and play high. It doesn’t matter who you keep, you just keep yourself as a midfielder or shadow striker. And Oscar will protect you from behind.” Mourinho said.

"Okay, I understand." After understanding Mourinho's intentions, Hazard nodded heartily, but he actually understood.Based on Chelsea's tactical thinking, his middle lane is just a cover, just to create opportunities for Lin Yu's goal.Attracts the attention of opposing defenders, but he doesn't care.As a midfielder, you should have such a spirit of sacrifice.What's more, he always felt that if it weren't for Lin Yu's existence, it would be absolutely impossible for him to win the European Golden Globe Award. For this alone, he should cover for Lin Yu.

What's more, with the rapid changes on the pitch, he may not have no chance to score goals. At Chelsea, I am afraid that everyone except the goalkeeper has scored goals. This is the flexibility and variability of tactics.

At the same time, in the dressing room of the Roma team, Rudi Garcia looked very high-spirited and very proud.

"Listen everyone, we have had a successful first half and the second half is a continuation of the first half, we must do better! Mourinho's team has now found that the attacking method has torn us. The defense line is broken, so they will probably choose the traditional defensive counterattack style of play in the second half. After all, this is their home court, and they will never be willing to see us score, so whether it is Mourinho or Chelsea players, they should choose Obstinate."

"Of course, one more point I need to emphasize is that even if you want to counterattack, you must do a good job of defending. Never give Chelsea any chance to counterattack. I believe you all know how powerful Chelsea's defensive counterattack is. The team fell victim to their counter-attack and I don't want Roma to fall victim too, you know?".

The intermission time is over, and the players of the two teams begin to enter the field.

The reporters in the media seats were all talking.

"How do you think Mourinho will play in the second half? Will he continue to attack like he did in the first half, or choose his old way of defending and counterattacking?"

"There is more possibility of defensive counterattack. After all, in the first half when the physical strength is sufficient, the strong attack has no effect. How could it be possible to do that in the second half?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Mourinho can always make unexpected arrangements."

"Oh, yes, that guy is the one who doesn't like playing cards according to common sense!"

"Mourinho is hard to guess, but I can guess Rudi Garcia's tactics. They did not concede a goal in the first half of the defense. There will definitely be no major adjustments in the second half. It may only be defensive. It’s just a little stronger counterattack.”

"I discovered a phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?" [

"Why does it seem that almost all teams have learned to play defensive counterattacks after encountering Chelsea?"

"There is no way. Chelsea's attack group is too strong. Lin Yu alone needs at least three defenders to defend. It is impossible for you not to fight back."

Suddenly the referee's whistle sounded, and the second half began, and the noisy media seats became quiet. No one wanted to miss anything exciting. They are quite capable coaches, and some of the arrangements they made are worth knocking and observing.

Changing sides and fighting again, the reporters quickly discovered the changes in Chelsea.

"Why did Lin Yu go to the right? Is Mourinho going to play forward tactics?".

"How is it possible? Mourinho's favorite is a powerful center. It is rare to have Lin Yu. How could he choose a style of play that he is not good at?"

"Then what did you say on the field? Why is Lin Yu on the right?"

"It's probably a temporary change of position. Isn't this a common thing? What's so strange about it?"

After the reporter said this, he found that five or six minutes later, Lin Yu was still active on the right, and had no intention of returning to the middle.

Lin Yu on the right has more opportunities to sprint, and players with fast sideways have a greater advantage. In that narrow space, it is difficult for the defender to stand. After all, the sideline is next to him, unless he stands outside the field , otherwise it would be impossible to surround Lin Yu.

Don't think that the sideline is the limit. In football rules, although the ball cannot cross the sideline, otherwise it will be out of bounds, but players are allowed. Once Lin Yu chooses to speed from the side, it will be really troublesome. (to be continued...)
