The first half is over.
The scoreboard showed “0: 5”. With the home team ahead and the away team behind, Newcastle United led Chelsea by five goals. Many people couldn’t believe the score.
This is Stamford Bridge Stadium!
The side of the home team is powerful Chelsea. Since the start of Chelsea, Chelsea have only lost one game. In the face of last season’s champion Newcastle United, even if the sudden performance is not good, it should not be played so miserably. so much?
The Blues fans cannot accept it.
There was a lot of talk in the stands.
When the referee declared the end of the first half, both players returned to their locker rooms.
Chelsea goalkeeper Cech took off his gloves, and the breath in his eyes was a bit dull. He felt his brain muddled. He seemed to be scoring goals one by one, not knowing how to go back.
Mistakes!
Can’t do it!
No response!
Among the first few goals in the first half, there were more times to save mistakes. Cech believed that he was not playing well. He didn’t understand why he made mistakes every time, and every judgment seemed to be almost worse.
“How did that happen?”
Cech failed to accept it. He kept thinking about other reasons, but he couldn’t find it anyway.
Sad!
Cech is a little unconfident, he is not sure about rest for more than ten minutes, he can recover his state.
No one comforted him.
Chelsea ’s other players did n’t feel much better. They were completely kicked. The opponent scored five goals in the half. They did n’t know how the game was going.
The score is too unfriendly!
It was a very normal game, and the opponent scored the ball continuously, even if the overall performance was poor, but they felt that the performance was not bad, the ball control rate was higher than the opponent, and the offense was more than the opponent, but the opponent was always far From the shot, several goals were still very accurate.
This is unreasonable!
Chelsea both understood the opponent’s play from top to bottom, and sent the ball to the front. As long as the distance was slightly closer, or even 30 meters away, the opponent directly came to take a shot.
It is difficult to stop.
For example, in the last goal, Duff’s kick was on the side, and the angle with the goal was very small, but the opponent just kicked the ball directly, and they all felt very weak.
All players are sullen, some even have the urge to cry, and they feel very desperate for the game.
Five goals behind!
No chance!
Chelsea must lose the big score!
As Chelsea’s head coach, Scolari also wanted to cry a bit. The reason for his grief is not the score, but the ability to grieve his own. Because he couldn’t read the game at all, he couldn’t find the reason for the continuous lag in the past halftime.
why?
Correct!
Cech’s play is not good!
but……
Scolari knew that it was just an excuse, Cech failed to save the ball, it does not mean how bad his performance is, because the opponent’s goal is very exciting, a few shots can be said to be ‘must score’.
Is n’t it right that the goalkeeper ca n’t save the ‘must score’?
of course.
World-class goalkeepers like Cech have a chance to save ‘must score’. One is not a good performance, but even if Cech is very good, the opponent will score at least three.
Is there a difference between 0 to 3 and 0 to 5?
Scolari shook his head straight when he thought about it. He must maintain a calm heart and carefully think about his strategy in the second half.
The game must have been lost!
Even at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea cannot recover five goals at halftime. What we should do next is how to ‘protect’ the team, instead of thinking about winning or losing.
First of all, Cech must be replaced.
This is not to say that he is dissatisfied with Cech, but a kind of protection for him. Instead, take a rest on the sidelines, and slowly God may be able to restore confidence.
In addition, the style of play also needs to be adjusted, and the opponent must not be allowed to score again, otherwise the goal will really be a funnel, and the pressure of public opinion will be very great, which will also have a great impact on the team ’s fighting spirit and confidence. , Or even affect future matches.
Therefore, we must strengthen the frontier defense of the restricted area.
Scolari ’s decision was to replace Anelka. In the first half, Anelka had two chances, one failed to find a good shooting opportunity, and the other was a missed kick, which did not constitute a direct threat. He and Drogba was a little wasted on the front line together.
Barack is a good choice.
Barak returned to the team relatively late. Scolari didn’t trust him very much. The season started to the scene. The number of starting games is not much, but the strength of the German captain is worthy of recognition.
Barak replaced Anelka, and the formation could be changed to 4321.
The single arrow formation is not for offense, three backs and two avant-garde, can guarantee the thickness of the defense.
Scolari’s goal is to block the frontier of the restricted zone and not allow the other party to start up at will.
the other side.
In the locker room of Newcastle United, Keegan did not have the excitement of imagination. Like Scolari, he fell into the trouble of ‘not reading the game’. The team’s leading score is worth the fun, but the offensive play is not What he formulated always felt strange in his heart.
This is the same as an ordinary company.
A manager who just took office only designated a development strategy. As a result, the strategy was modified by the employee. He had no way to restrict the old and well-qualified employees. He could only let his employees do it. As a result, the employee ’s modified strategy was very effective and better than The strategy is expected to exceed ten times and one hundred times.
This is embarrassing.
Keegan had to fall into a thinking, “Zhen Shaolong’s tactical ability is better than me?”
“How can it be!”
“He is just a player who doesn’t understand tactics, and tactical training is full of problems …”
Keegan couldn’t believe this conclusion.
During the intermission, Keegan just praised the player’s performance and made everyone continue to work hard. He said these words very embarrassed because he felt that the players didn’t care, and most people listened to Zhen Shaolong.
Keegan is depressed!
Angry!
He could not tolerate the inability to control the team, but he wanted to say nothing but found it impossible to say. He thought about the problem in a corner.
After a few minutes, he figured it out!
Regardless of the situation on the team, the players still respect him, but Zhen Shaolong does better.
That’s right.
A player does better than his coach.
what else can we do?
Even when it comes to the media and fans, they will think that Zhen Shaolong is more important than him, and other head coaches may not have players like Zhen Shaolong.
What else is unsatisfactory?
Keegan feels that the team’s status is not as good as Zhen Shaolong’s, and it’s not a big deal. For any coach to come to Newcastle United, the status can’t be compared with that of Zhen Shaolong.
For example, Scolari opposite.
Scolari has not yet had his own scenery, even if he leads the team to win consecutively, but does not have the right to speak without winning the championship. The rumor says that inside Chelsea, Anelka is not in control, and the team often collides with Scolari Larry couldn’t do anything.
Keegan suddenly felt indifferent.
Anelka?
How does this level of striker compare with Zhen Shaolong?
Scolari has no way to deal with Anelka, he can’t compare with himself, because he is facing Zhen Shaolong, as if playing BOSS in the game, there is no way for BOSS and no blame for the elite next to it, it is completely Two concepts.
Keegan felt a lot taller, and simply put down his depressed thoughts and called Zhen Shaolong directly to the door, asking the doubts in his mind, “Zhen, I want to talk to you separately. What do you think, why do you let Other people can have this effect by continuous long-range shooting? “
“I am referring to the effect now, five goals ahead.”
Zhen Shaolong was silent.
“Let’s talk, I want to talk to you openly. I think you should have your participation in formulating tactics in the future. Your ability is recognized by the team.”
Zhen Shaolong continued to be silent.
“It doesn’t matter, you can say anything, don’t be nervous …” Keegan continued to persuade.
Zhen Shaolong held back for a long time and finally said, “This is my ability!”
“Your ability?”
Keegan puzzled.
Zhen Shaolong felt that he couldn’t say more, otherwise what if the system broke the news?
He continued to be silent.
Keegan felt that Zhen Shaolong was a little difficult to communicate, but thought he got the imaginary answer, “His ability? Right! He is admitting his tactical ability!”
“It seems that in the future to formulate tactics, we should consult his opinions …”
————
Second half.
Chelsea played a strong offensive in the opening game. Just when many people in the outside world believed that Chelsea would continue to attack and suppress the rhythm and try to win the score, they contracted the defense.
The next two successive offensives belonged to Newcastle United.
With Chelsea’s substitution adjustment, the outside world immediately knew the specific adjustment-
Strengthen the blockade around the restricted area!
“It seems that Chelsea is scared!”
“In the first half, Newcastle shot consecutively from the periphery and scored five goals in one go!”
“Chelsea must also strengthen the defense on the periphery, otherwise it will allow Newcastle to shoot from the periphery and do not know how many to be scored!”
“This is the amazing place!”
“In Newcastle’s midfield, every player has a good form. Duff, Button and Gremi all scored goals. Zhen Shaolong scored two goals personally. Irving did not score, but Zhen Shaolong’s second goal , Also because Owen’s shot was saved before he found a chance! “
“In this game, Newcastle is in a great state!”
“This is what football matches are all about. Coaches develop tactics on the one hand, and it is more important for players to play on the field!”
“Chelsea must limit it!”
“But with five goals behind, Chelsea doesn’t even think about equalizing anymore. They are more hoping to stabilize the defense …”
The game commentators guessed Scolari’s idea.
After Chelsea changed to the 4321 formation, the defense in the restricted area is indeed much tighter. Their advantage is mainly in the midfield. Barack, Lampard and Essien have three midfielders, coupled with the front lineup core Deco, withdrawing the defense The continuous scramble to get Newcastle to the frontcourt, ordinary cooperation simply can not fight.
Newcastle United’s offense has become difficult to play.
It is difficult for midfielders to find opportunities to shoot outside the penalty area. They have to face the opponent’s tough fight at any time, and the space for attacking in the frontcourt is compressed.
But Newcastle United players feel a lot easier, because while Chelsea strengthens the defense, the direct pressure on the offense has been reduced. Newcastle United has not adjusted, and it still attaches great importance to defense. The overall pressure on the game is much less.
For a while, the game stagnated.
Chelsea up and down know that they can’t tie the score, but as long as the opponent is not scoring and there is no pressure to break the goal, they feel much better, and the offense is not very anxious. It does n’t matter if you lose two more goals.
Newcastle United is satisfied.
Yes.
It’s not that you don’t want to be aggressive. There is also a saying in football that is ‘feeling at your feet’. For example, the situation in front of you is like this. The five goals away from the opponent beat the opponent, and it would be too much to score again.
Many players think so, and some do not.
There are two very ambitious players on the court, one is the Portuguese goalkeeper Hilario who played for Cech.
Hilario is a famous goalkeeper in the Portuguese Super League. At the age of thirty, he transferred from the Portuguese Super League Funchal National Team to Chelsea and played the role of Chelsea’s goalkeeper substitute.
And it is the third substitute.
The main force of the Portuguese super team, Chelsea can only play the third substitute, it seems a bit sad, but the reality is so cruel, Hilario is still a member of the Porto double crown.
Although only serving as the third goalkeeper, Hilario has played a lot.
When joining in the first season, because Cech and Kudicini were injured one after another, he also participated in three consecutive UEFA Champions League games, one of which was against Barcelona, he managed to keep the goal and made the team win 1-0, Play has been praised by many people.
After that season, Hilario played 24 times for Chelsea. As a third goalkeeper, the number of appearances has been quite remarkable.
Hilario hopes to go further.
He has always maintained his concentration and worked hard to complete the training. He also knows that Cudicini will leave the team. He will be promoted to the second goalkeeper immediately. As long as Cech is injured, he can play on behalf of the team.
This made Hilario excited.
Now seeing the gate guarded by Cech, he scored five goals at halftime, and Hilario had an ambition called ‘fight for the team ’s main goalkeeper’ in his heart.
“Must work hard!”
“Let everyone see my performance … Indeed, my body’s flexibility is not as good as Cech, and my body’s stretch range can’t keep up. There are many ways, but the data is dead, people are alive, I want Prove that the goal I guard is stronger! “
Hilario said hard to herself.
Another very hard-working player is Zhen Shaolong. He doesn’t think that a five-ball lead is stable, but it is very dangerous. As long as Chelsea scores a goal, the task will not be completed.
This is the biggest pressure!
Zhen Shaolong has been continuously working hard into the game, but Chelsea is not too concerned about the offense, completely devoted his energy to the defense, the blockade of the frontier of the penalty area is very tight, and the teammate’s pass is simply not delivered.
How to do?
Zhen Shaolong simply withdrew some and received a pass from his teammates.
Terry followed.
Zhen Shaolong is very experienced in similar situations. He started “Strike” and rushed first. Terry was unprepared for it and was rushed over immediately. Then he turned to rush over Essien and was chased by the other party. Entangled behind him.
In front is Lampard!
no solution anymore.
Zhen Shaolong glanced at the goal while taking the ball, knowing that he would be surrounded if he didn’t pass the ball. “Strike” will be interrupted due to physical contact, and there will be no chance at that time.
He chose to start!
Shoot!
Zhen Shaolong concentrated 100% of his energy on the shot. He wouldn’t expect 30% of all luck, he hoped that he could successfully score the ball.
“Boom!”
The right instep is in contact with the football.
Outer instep!
The football rushed past Lampard in an instant and crossed the arc towards the goal.
Hilario is concentrating on defense, but he never imagined that the arc of the football route would be so large, and the position of rushing into the goal would be so tricky.
Upper left corner!
That is a position that cannot be saved!
Hilario could only watch the football fly into the goal. The only thing he could do was to take two steps over there, and he didn’t even make a save.
“The goal is scored!”
“A long shot from the outside of the kick! Zhen Shaolong throws away Terry and Essien, and strongly scores the ball!”
“0 to 6!”
“Newcastle United led six goals, and Zhen Shaolong finished his third goal!”
“This game is crazy …”
On the sidelines ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Scolari covered his cheek hard, and he didn’t know whether it was a contrast score or whether he was helpless about Hilario’s performance.
Keegan was excited and cheered with others.
The fans around the stands are very silent, and only Newcastle United fans are cheering, but their number is small, and it is difficult to support enough decibels, and more fans are sadly silent.
0 to 6!
Chelsea are six goals behind at home!
I was also looking forward to Chelsea’s revenge for two defeats last season. I didn’t expect that it was a painful defeat. The Blues fans were completely disappointed. Some fans even planned to leave early.
They couldn’t bear to keep watching.
This is not a game.
It’s slaughter-kill!
