Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 363 What happened to Sheva

Zhang Yang will not worry about internal problems for Chelsea. As the head coach of the Premier League team, Mourinho is one of his competitors. The more problems the opponent encounters, the greater the chance of winning on behalf of Millwall.

Before the game, Millwall made meticulous preparations, targeting every position of Chelsea and Chelsea's overall style of play.

In this regard, Millwall has a lot of advantages.

Mourinho's Chelsea have not changed their tactics since two seasons ago. They are good at using a 433 formation, and occasionally use a 442 double forward lineup.

How will Chelsea play?
This is not a problem, Chelsea will occasionally use a 442 formation, mainly when playing against very weak opponents, such as against lower league teams in the League Cup, or against 'almost winnable' teams in the Premier League.

and many more.

Millwall is not in the ranks.

Mourinho will definitely let the team play a 433 formation, which is what they are good at.From Chelsea's transfer, it can also be seen that they have no intention of changing their tactics.

For example, winger Damien Duff left, and Chelsea hired Kalu to replace him; striker Good Johnson left, and Shevchenko joined in. At the same time, they also signed the German captain Ballack, who is a standard defender. Lump players, plus Lampard, Essien, and Makelele, Chelsea have four powerful midfielders. The three midfielders in the 433 formation are the most suitable for Chelsea. They must do the same, otherwise some of the main players Players will be dissatisfied with the number of appearances.

Under these many restrictions, Mourinho will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"It's your own fault!"

Zhang Yang gloated a little.

In every Chelsea game, you don’t need to guess deeply about the lineup, you can basically know the same. Chelsea said that there are many stars, but when it comes to key games, it is predictable which players will be sent to the field, but it must be admitted The point is that Chelsea's lineup is still very gorgeous, much more gorgeous than Millwall, and it is almost impossible to completely restrict Chelsea's lineup.

Then you can only choose the appropriate point for it.

Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

The auditorium is already full of fans, and calls for friendship between the two teams have become the mainstream in the background, and the two teams have already warmed up on the field.

The game is about to begin.

Zhang Yang got the opponent's starting list, and when he found Shevchenko on the list, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shevchenko!
AC Milan's Shevchenko is a very mind-boggling striker, and Chelsea's Shevchenko can become a "targeting point for opponents".

This is not because Shevchenko is "targeted" by the opponent because of how big a threat he is, but because he is easy to be targeted. In addition, he is also the core player of Chelsea's offense. Restricted, Chelsea's offense is equivalent to missing an important corner, and the threat will be greatly reduced.

Shevchenko is not so easy to target. After all, he is a Ukrainian "nuclear warhead". He has performed the best striker in recent years and is also the only striker who has won the Ballon d'Or in recent years. With so many honors, his strength must be the top in the world .

Millwall is different.

It is still very difficult to restrict Drogba, Lampard and other players, but Shevchenko is not considered a player with strong confrontation ability, especially since he has just joined Chelsea, and there is no tacit understanding with Chelsea teammates , as long as you completely stare at him alone is enough.

As long as Shevchenko's points are blocked, Chelsea's offensive threat will be greatly reduced, and on the contrary, Millwall's opportunities will increase.

Zhang Yang began to look forward to it.

----

When the two teams played, Chelsea Abramovich and Millwall chairman Prince Mossad also sat on the rostrum.

There are three FA officials on the rostrum, and one of them is a special guest invited by the FA to present awards to today's winners. If other club presidents might take the initiative to establish good relations with these officials, doing so would probably Good for the club.

Abramovich and Prince Mossad are certainly not among the ranks.

The situation is quite the opposite.

The FA officials took the initiative to chat with the two, and both of them seemed to be ignorant. When an FA official nagged in their ears, Prince Mossad simply refused because of his 'poor English'. I continued talking with him, but when I turned my head to talk to Abramovich, the English became very fluent, with a little London accent in my voice.

The FA official could only shake his head and smile wryly, they are really not from the same world.

Prince Mossad and Abramovich have something to talk about.

One is a Saudi, one is a Russian, one is a natural aristocrat, and the other is a top rich man who relied on his own hard work. Their life trajectories seem to be completely different, but there are still many things that can be discussed in terms of club acquisition and management. of.

Abramovich talked about Chelsea, talked about his importance to Jose Mourinho, and talked about the luxury lineup he built; Prince Mossad was more direct, he talked about his acquisition of Millwall, " At that time, I felt that Millwall could win the championship, because Millwall had an unimaginably talented manager."

Prince Mossad praised Zhang Yang's ability to lead the team.

Abramovich followed up and affirmed, "I have seen that young man and talked to him. He is very good, very good. I believe he is a head coach no worse than Jose, especially at such a young age. In the future Lots of room."

In Zhang Yang, the two found a common topic, and then talked about club management issues. Abramovich is letting the club develop and only intervening in transfer matters. He hopes to buy the players he wants.

The Prince of Mossad is completely laissez-faire and let Wilkinson run the business. He just regards it as an investment in the football field. Millwall has become his industry. can.

There seems to be a little difference between the two chatting, but in fact the difference is not big, 'buying the players you want' is just Abramovich's hobby of football, and he likes to let the players he likes join with his own will.

Prince Mossad has no hobbies in this area, but it also has something to do with him being a Saudi. There are no top football players in Saudi Arabia, otherwise he would consider letting outstanding Saudi stars join his team.

That would be good for boosting your domestic prestige.

In the process of chatting, both of them deliberately staggered the topic of the game that they were most concerned about. No one talked about the game, as if they all came to watch the game with an appreciation mentality.

But in fact, not so.

Both sides are very concerned about face. When it comes to the game, they will definitely support their team, but if the team loses, it is tantamount to losing face.

Abramovich believes that Chelsea will definitely win, but he dare not say '100%', after all, Millwall beat Chelsea twice last season.

Prince Mossad has confidence in Millwall and hopes that the team can win the first trophy, but it is not 100%. He thinks it is impolite to talk about the outcome of the game in front of the opposing chairman.

----

The England Community Shield has officially begun.

The difference between Chelsea's starting lineup and last season's starting lineup in this game is only on the front line. The three players in front of the 433 formation have changed a lot. The newcomers Shevchenko and Kalu each occupy a position. Ba is still a steady center forward.

This is a 'compromise' made by Mourinho.

The Portuguese are not very willing to let Shevchenko occupy a starting position in the striker line. People are not familiar with it, and it is a big problem to cooperate closely with teammates, and they have not fully adapted to the team's tactics.

Like Barack.

The strength of the German captain is recognized by the whole world, but after joining Chelsea, Ballack stayed on the bench. Why can Shevchenko start the game?

Chelsea and AC Milan are not the same.

AC Milan has two of the world's top midfielders - Pirlo and Kaka. Other positions, such as Rui Costa, Seedorf and other players, are also very strong in technical strength. It can be said that AC Milan's midfielder is better than Chelsea has stronger technical ability and can provide continuous support to the frontcourt.

If Shevchenko wants to perform well, the premise is that he needs to adapt to Chelsea's "not so highly supported midfielder". He needs to use more direct cooperation and use his personal technical ability to help the team score goals.

This is also the reason why most technical forwards and opportunity forwards are 'difficult to mix' in the Premier League.

Shevchenko is a top striker in the world. His personal ability is definitely no problem. The premise is that he needs to get rid of the game habits developed in AC Milan and try to adapt to the Premier League, or Chelsea's style of play.

Now Shevchenko certainly can't do it.

Under the influence of Abramovich, Mourinho must put Shevchenko in the starting lineup, but there must be problems with the cooperation between the Ukrainian and Drogba. In order to allow Drogba to increase some opportunities, He also considered arranging Drogba's national team teammate, Kalu, to play on the left side of the frontcourt, hoping to help activate Drogba's points.

Mourinho's 'compromise' arrangement of the starting lineup is unknown to others.

When the game between the two teams officially started, the commentary media continued to praise Chelsea's lineup, saying that 'after Shevchenko joined, Chelsea's striker is dominant'--Shevchenko, Drogba, and a card Lou, how gorgeous can it be?The combined worth of the three easily exceeds [-] million euros!
All eyes were on Shevchenko.

Since Shevchenko joined Chelsea, from training to warm-ups to official games, no matter whether his performance is good or bad, he has become a topic of discussion among the media and fans.

Zhang Yang is also paying close attention to the game.

This Super Cup in England was arranged after two rounds of the league, but it was the first time Millwall encountered an 'opponent at the same level', and he was very concerned about the team's performance.

Zhang Yang wants to see how the 'dual-core' style of play can perform against an opponent of Chelsea's level.

Chelsea are not the strongest.

If there is no mistake in the past life memory, Chelsea will not win the league championship this season. After that, Mourinho packed up and left. After a year's rest, he went to coach Inter Milan and started another glory.

Zhang Yang doesn't care whether history will repeat itself. What he knows is that Chelsea is still the biggest competitor and represents the top strength of the Premier League.

If it is a 'dual-core' tactic, it can be verified in the game against Chelsea, which is enough to prove the success of the 'dual-core' tactic.

That's what matters.

----

After the start of the game, Chelsea relied on their strength advantages to launch a fierce attack towards Millwall's half.

This is their habitual practice.

Although Millwall beat them twice and won the title race, they have always been in control of their head-to-head encounters.

Chelsea players don't think that Millwall's overall strength can be compared with them. Even after a summer, the two teams have entered and exited, and the changes are not small, but the strength gap is still very large. They can Attack without hesitation.

Millwall can only temporarily avoid the limelight.

This actually made Chelsea even more excited. They thought that Millwall was still the same as last season. It was the team that played defensive counterattacks. Just pay attention to the defense and attack towards the opponent's half. Maybe Murray is not needed. When Niodo explained, the Chelsea players understood, "The way to defeat Millwall is to suppress them with strength, prevent them from playing beautiful counterattacks, and then score as many goals as possible."

So the opening 10 minutes belonged to Chelsea.

Chelsea's offensive play is indeed excellent. The connection and cooperation from the center to the frontcourt, and the individual performance of the strikers have caused a lot of trouble for Millwall.

Many people have noticed that Millwall's defense has also been adjusted.

In the previous two games, Millwall had one midfielder and four defenders. This game has become three defenders and two midfielders. In addition to David Livermore, Zambrotta also played the midfielder.

Changed the double back?
The three guards are too weak, right?

----

Chelsea surrounded Millwall half-court and bombed indiscriminately for 10 minutes. They had an absolute advantage on the scene, but they didn't score any goals.

Some Chelsea players, it's starting to feel like something's wrong.

Although they took the absolute initiative, it seems that Millwall's defense seems to be weak, but in fact, they didn't take advantage of it. The only three shots were taken from the outside, and they couldn't attack at all. into the restricted area.

The first thing that feels wrong is striker Drogba. Chelsea's offense seems fierce, but Millwall's blockade of the front of the penalty area is very tight. Whenever he runs to the front, it is difficult to receive a pass from his teammates.

Kalu on the other side is better. He doesn't know Millwall well. He thinks that the opponent is the defending champion of last season. It is definitely not easy to break through the opponent's goal. It is understandable that the long-term attack has no effect.

The most uncomfortable player on the field is Andrei Shevchenko, who has attracted much attention.

Shevchenko has been working hard to run, has been trying to adapt, but he found himself with a difficult guy--
Livermore?

Mourinho mentioned before the game that we must pay attention to Livermore's long-range shots. I didn't expect this guy to defend so sharply?
Shevchenko felt it.

Shevchenko tried to break through Livermore before, but failed twice, once and a half, once was intercepted, and half was blocked by Livermore, and then he could only choose to pass to his teammates.

Then... Shevchenko didn't show much.

At the beginning of the game, the camera pointed at Shevchenko frequently. After a while of attacking, the camera seemed to 'forget' Shevchenko and focused on finding other players.

Shevchenko couldn't get the ball at all!

In Chelsea's fierce offensive, Shevchenko is the only transparent person. The offense seems to have nothing to do with him. It's not that his teammates don't pass the ball to him. He does not cooperate with his teammates tacitly, and Shevchenko is not the kind of player who is good at creating opportunities for his teammates. It is conceivable how much he can perform.

The key is the guy next to him!
After a failed attack, Shevchenko watched the opponent rubbing the back of his head with the honest expression of a countryman who had never seen the world, and felt that his skills and IQ had been seriously insulted.

"It's this guy, there's no good way to make yourself?"

Shevchenko is very unwilling, he is determined to work hard in the future, and must have a good performance!
