Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 312
Crespo, Maney cut off; Good Johnson, Joe Cole on.

Chelsea's actions are astonishing.

In terms of substitution time, it is very unusual. In ordinary football games, unless there is an unexpected situation, substitutions are rarely made in the first half, which is tantamount to admitting that the starting lineup formulated before the game is not good , It was tantamount to the coach slapping himself in the face, but Chelsea decisively chose to make a substitution. Some football commentators analyzed, "Mourinho can't bear the team's poor performance!"

Chelsea replaced two people in one breath!
Maniche's fate is understandable. Maniche's performance was very mediocre before. If Millwall's goal is considered, it is because of Maniche's mistakes. His performance is really bad.

What happened to Crespo is incomprehensible.

Crespo?

Crespo's performance in the first half was not bad. So far, he has made two shots, one of which hit the goal frame. He also cooperated well with his teammates. He is one of the most threatening players in Chelsea's team against Millwall. one.

Why replace Crespo?

Many media commentators raised questions. Some of them could not understand the substitution. When the substitution was adjusted, the camera kept pointing at the Argentine striker. Crespo was frowning tightly, and the dissatisfaction on his face was obvious.

Mourinho didn't see it at all. He was still talking to Joe Cole on the sidelines, as if telling him what to do.

When Crespo walked off the field, Good Johnson greeted him and stepped onto the field. Joe Cole was more than ten seconds late and looked unhappy.

Joe Cole wasn't happy either.

During the Christmas period, Joe Cole became Chelsea's sweet pastry. Mourinho couldn't help but praise him for his continuous excellent performance. He was sure that he would become the absolute main force, and his position was more stable than Robben, but With the arrival of Maniche, everything changed.

When a new player arrives, it is normal for the head coach to give the new player a chance to perform.

Joe Cole understands.

Before the game, Joe Cole was quite dissatisfied when he learned that he could not start. If he trained new players, he could play in other games. The match against Millwall attracted much attention and was called the "League Final" by the outside world. , In such an important game, it is absolutely intolerable for Maniche to start the game and play himself as a substitute.

Joe Cole gloated at Maniche's poor performance and left his team behind.

Many Chelsea players have the same idea, they are a little cold on Maniche, and they don't understand why Mourinho would trust a newcomer so much, even let him replace Joe Cole.

Mourinho will definitely not tell the players what he thinks.

Mourinho has his own ideas very much. He firmly believes that he is the best head coach in world football, and he also wants to work hard to prove this. On the one hand, leading the team to achieve results, on the other hand, it is like a publicity irony, "When Mourinho is optimistic about a certain player, then this player must be careful."

Zhang Yang is satirizing Mourinho's vision and the poor performance of most of the players he introduced. Of course, it doesn't matter if Zhang Yang just talks about it. After a series of data analysis, the British media strongly support this point of view.

At present, in the Chelsea team, the core players who support them to achieve good results are all left over from the Ranieri era, and many of them were also introduced by Ranieri, such as Lampard, Robben, Makelele, and Clay on the front line Spoel, Good Johnson.

Among the players introduced by Mourinho, there is only one Carvalho who performed well.

Last summer's signings have proven to be a failure. Wright-Phillips can't play at all. Essien's performance has been criticized by the outside world, and he is not worth the high price when he joined.

Mourinho hopes that the players he introduces can perform well.

In January, Chelsea brought in Maniche.

Maniche is a Porto player and one of the contributors to Porto's triple crown. Mourinho thinks he understands Marcheni. He knows that Marcheni's skills are very good. He hopes that he can help revitalize the midfield, so he frequently gives Macheni opportunity, let him quickly adapt to the Premier League, and come up with a decent performance.

This is Mourinho's mind.

The same is true in this field. Mourinho hoped that Maniche's appearance would allow the midfielder to show some flexibility, but what he didn't expect was that Maniche didn't even perform normally, and a mistake gave the opponent a counterattack chance and scored a goal.

Mourinho was a little annoyed. He almost lost his patience and chose to let the more stable and outstanding Joe Cole play.

As for Crespo?The Argentines were just being angered!

Mourinho has always disliked Crespo and his football style, because Crespo is an Argentine player who is good at 'individual play'.

This style will make him feel that the game is out of control.

For example, in some games, Crespo would suddenly dribble. Tactically, he should have passed the ball, but he did not do that. Even if the effect of dribbling is better than passing, the game is out of control , It made Mourinho feel very uncomfortable.

So Crespo has always been in good form and efficiency, but the number of appearances is still not as good as Drogba, who is "not as efficient as himself".

When Mourinho doesn't like a player, it doesn't matter how good the player is, especially when Crespo is constantly injured, which gives Mourinho a reason not to let him play.

----

Chelsea completed the substitution.

The appearance of Joe Cole and Good Johnson made the media feel normal.

Joe Cole and Good Johnson are both very good players. The former performed very well this season, and the latter is also a general of Chelsea. He played 38 times for Chelsea last season and scored 14 goals. team members.

It is worth mentioning that Gudjohnson comes from a football family. His father, Einor Gudjohnsen, is one of the famous Icelandic football players. In 1996, father and son also played together for the Icelandic national team, which became a good story in Icelandic football. .

After Chelsea completed the substitutions, the game resumed.

Chelsea continued to attack, forming a half-court suppression on Millwall, and Millwall's defense became more difficult, mainly because of the new appearance of Joe Cole.

Mourinho hoped that Maniche would make the midfielder more flexible, but when Maniche performed poorly, but made the team lose the threat on the right side, Joe Cole's appearance made up for the problem on the side, making the right side Can form more threats, Chelsea's offensive also has an additional option.

This also makes Millwall's defense more difficult.

Joe Cole belongs to the kind of player who can play both left and right, and he plays very well. His breakthrough is very sharp, and his passing ability is also very good.

With Joe Cole's support, first of all, it attracted some defensive attention, which made Chelsea's offensive pressure in the middle a lot less. Even Morris' restrictions on Lampard were affected, because the threat from the right made his teammates' The defense ability becomes worse, and the football may be passed in one more direction.

When Chelsea's right flank became active again, the offensive became much more threatening.

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Chelsea threatened Millwall's goal three times in a row, two of which were within the range of the goal frame. Lampard volleyed from the post and almost sent the ball into the goal.

Fortunately, time is running out.

When stoppage time entered the second minute, many people were ready to rest for a while, but what they didn't expect was that in the last minute, Chelsea broke out, which came from the cooperation of Lampard and Joe Cole.

Lampard and Joe Cole are old partners.

The two are on the side and the center. They have cooperated very well for several seasons. When Lampard suddenly rushed to the right foot of the penalty area, Joe Cole kicked the ball back, and Lampard turned to win. Sent, Joe Cole bypassed the defender, ran to the inside of the right side of the penalty area, received the ball and pushed it across the goal.

Drogba is a kick to keep up!
"Oh!"

Such a close-range shot is basically impossible to defend. Hislop has rich experience and is weak against this kind of ball.

"Goooooal!"

"The ball went in—!!"

"Drogba!"

The shouts of the live broadcast, along with the shouts of the fans in the audience, erupted. Every Chelsea fan was cheering for the goal. At the end of the first half, they finally scored and equalized the score.

Mourinho sat in his seat, got up and clapped his hands, finally showing a smile on his face.

Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines and muttered.

2 minutes ago, he had predicted the situation of the game, but Chelsea's offensive was very fierce, and the game was not interrupted at all. He could do nothing at all. The only thing he could do was to remind the defense by shouting. His reminder had an effect. When the shout turned away, it was stupid not to block Joe Cole in the first place. There was a small difference between the process and the prediction, but in the end the opponent still scored.

Joe Cole to Lampard, Lampard to Joe Cole, Drogba finally scored.

The entire process of breaking the goal showed a strong ability to cooperate. Chelsea played a smooth offensive, which also showed the limitations of the "prediction" ability. He can know in advance, but small changes are not enough to change the final result.

For example, a player plays defense.

When the player is reminded to be serious, but when faced with the defense, he is likely to react the same way. It is a habit and ability developed by the individual, and he should be swayed or swayed.

Even if the defensive strategy is changed, for example, a player who was originally standing in the penalty area becomes blocked outside the penalty area, the opponent is not a puppet, and they are likely to get another opportunity.

For top players in Europe, a good chance is almost equal to a goal.

When a top striker faces the goalkeeper, he can make a shot according to the goalkeeper's reaction. The goalkeeper will kick to the right if he jumps to the left, and if he is to the right, he will kick to the left. The goalkeeper who strikes is unable to do anything.

In short, the most important thing is the player's ability.

When there is a gap between the player's ability and the opponent's ability, it is not very meaningful to make a reminder.

----

The first half is over.

Chelsea and Millwall stood one-on-one. In fact, the result of the draw was acceptable to Millwall, but it definitely didn't feel good to be caught up by the opponent at the last time.

The atmosphere in the Millwall dressing room was a little dull.

Zhang Yang walked into the locker room with a frown, he was recalling the first half of the game, when he saw each player shrugging his head, he immediately reacted and smiled at everyone, "It's no big deal, it's just a draw! "

"The last goal is a pity, but I know you have worked hard. We can't hold 10 minutes. I said it before the game. The difference is when the goal happened."

Zhang Yang's words made the players breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yang is young and immature, but he is very dignified in the team. Many players are a little afraid of him, especially when he rarely shows a dignified attitude, many people are also worried.

When everyone looked over, Zhang Yang continued, "We played well in the first half, each of you performed very well. I believe that there are very few teams that can play to this level at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea. In fact, we It's been pretty good."

"However, we are number one in the league. The position determines the goal. We need to try our best to defeat the opponent. This is not just talk. Continue to play like this in the second half. When you are on the field, don't be impulsive. You must play according to tactics. When you have the opportunity, you will also play. Try to be as calm as possible..."

Then Zhang Yang talked about the problems in the first half.

In fact, they are all minor problems. For example, sometimes, when you can pass the ball stably, you rush to clear the siege with your big foot, and miss the opportunity to counterattack.

After summing up, Zhang Yang said that in the second half, there was nothing to change in tactics. The important thing is that the players should try to be as calm as possible, 'correct' some minor problems, and at the same time increase the number and intensity of counterattacks, "We must pursue victory and must Do it."

"But remember anyway, the important thing is to defend!"

"If the opponent scores again, we must strengthen our offensive, but we must know that a draw is also acceptable, so it is more important not to allow the opponent to score!"

At the same time, the outside world is also discussing the game.

There was a 15-minute half-time break. Before and after the commercials were inserted on various TV stations, there would be summaries and comments on the game. Most people were still optimistic about Chelsea, mainly because Chelsea finally equalized the score.

"Chelsea showed great quality in the first half, they completely suppressed Millwall."

"Mourinho's choice of substitution was correct. Maniche did not perform well, so he was replaced directly. Joe Cole's appearance made Chelsea play on the right. The final goal was also planned by Joe Cole. of……"

"The substitution may be the turning point of the game, but Crespo is off, I don't know why, is it a tactical substitution?"

"..."

Some football commentators are also speculating.

When Chelsea players did not disclose the news, it was difficult for the outside world to know the inside news.
