Chapter 48 Warriors and Assassins
"This game is really boring..."
The words of Sky TV commentator George Woodgate are the interpretation of the first fifteen minutes of the game.
Derby County and Chelsea are both doing tentative attacks, and they are not very eager to attack at the beginning. Both sides want to stabilize the defense first. Maybe when the players slowly enter the state, the game will become more intense, but at least the current game between the two sides is very boring. .
"But this also proves that both sides attach great importance to the game!" George Woodgate said comfortingly, not knowing whether he was comforting the fans in front of the TV, or comforting himself.
Indeed, compared to the kind of intense confrontational game, the game on the field now seems very dull, the firepower of both sides into the attack is not strong, the football has been passed in the midfield, even in the midfield, the confrontation is not very good. Intense, this kind of game scene is really uninspiring.
Camera footage points to the two head coaches.
I saw Wan Sheng and Mourinho watching the game seriously and in high spirits. Both of them looked serious, showing that they attached great importance to the game.
Over time, when the time passed 20 minutes, the two sides attacked a little more.
The game is getting exciting.
It can be seen that Chelsea have obviously strengthened their offense. They can occasionally hit the midline and even hit the Derby County penalty area. Derby County is still insisting on a solid defense. It seems that they have no intention of attacking Chelsea at all. Chelsea made some press.
As a result, the Chelsea fans who came to the scene also became active, and they began to shout from the stands to cheer for Chelsea.
......
Mourinho watched the game carefully.
He sat firmly in his position and was not too worried about the game, because everything about the game was firmly in his hands, at least for now, and he also thinks it will continue to be like this.
This is confidence.
He did some research on Derby County before the game. He knows Derby County's offensive capabilities, and he also knows the opponent's tactic called 'OS-Fast'. It must be admitted that this tactic is very high-end, and it only needs to be seen once. Do some research. Mourinho knows that it is very difficult to make his team play such complex tactics... The opponent's tactics can even be compared with the tactical complexity of the La Liga giants Barcelona, and the requirements for the entire team are It is very high, and the requirements for players to adapt to tactics are also very high. Another high requirement is physical fitness. Few teams can have such physical fitness. You can look at the average age of the opposing team's players. To some understanding.
Mourinho still admires this.
Tactics with such high physical fitness requirements cannot be used by general teams, because the starting players will always have some veterans, and these veterans are often very important players. Their physical fitness cannot keep up, and the tactics will naturally fail. On the contrary, if The team is full of young players. The strength will definitely be limited, so no amount of subtle tactics can make up for the gap in strength. But Derby County can play such a tactic. Many of their players are very young but very strong. This is also what Mourinho admires the most.
But the head coach, the most important thing is to lead the team!
Mourinho is convinced of this. Perhaps in other respects, many other coaches are better than him, but he is very confident in leading the game. What he likes most is the feeling that the game situation is completely in his own hands. The game is a game to him, and he is the master of the game.
like now...
Derby County is a good opponent, but they still have a gap with Chelsea. Their attacking ability is very strong, but they dare not let go to attack at all, because in that case, the defense will be easily broken, so now they choose In terms of defense, the opponent's 'OS-Fast' defensive ability is still good, but it is only good. When the defensive ability is exerted, the offense will naturally be affected.
So what Chelsea needs to do is to gradually strengthen their offense while stabilizing their defense. When they understand the opponent's strength and understand the opponent better, the offense can naturally be strengthened appropriately.
Even on the basis of solid defense, Mourinho has confidence in the team's offense.
That's how he won every game.
You don't need more goals, one is enough. The game goes on like this, and it is not easy for the opponent to defend the goal for 90 minutes. This is not only about his own performance, but also needs luck.
......
As Mourinho thought, the game seemed to be heading in that direction.
Chelsea slowly stepped up their offense, occasionally playing wonderful cooperation, which could obviously threaten Derby County's goal.
Many fans who came to the scene hoped to see Derby County's gorgeous offense, but they are a little disappointed so far. Derby County has not shown much offensive ability at all, but has been defending.
'Derby County is suppressed by Chelsea!'
"In front of a mighty Chelsea, it's hard to show anything even against a flamboyant Derby County..."
"Derby County are a bit passive at their home ground..."
"..."
As the game went on, the hostile media of Derby County came forward and made some mockery of Derby County's performance, but more media were worried about the situation. For the game, they actually hoped that Derby County would win. If Chelsea and Derby were to choose one of the winners, many would choose Derby, Chelsea is so much hate.
But Derby County didn't show much, just kept defending passively.
This situation worries many people.
The camera pointed at the Derby County coaching bench, and the young Chinese coach was still sitting there, as if he was not worried about the situation at all. Just the interpretation of some commentators.
But in fact, Wansheng's idea is completely different from Mourinho.
Mourinho thinks he has everything, but he really underestimates Wansheng, or Derby County. Wansheng is very clear that if the team is facing Chelsea, it is very difficult to win. Chelsea defends firmly, and then seeks to counterattack. This style of play, combined with Chelsea's strong strength, is simply invincible. , Just like Arsenal in the previous life, in the three years that Mourinho coached Chelsea, every time he played against Chelsea, he lost, he lost at home, at Stamford Bridge, and he wanted to have a draw. is a luxury.
This is the result of Arsenal, England's strongest attack, and Chelsea.
The same goes for Derbyshire.
At present, Derby County is not better than Arsenal. Even if they beat Arsenal in the first round, it is really a bit of luck. The data in the football training master can tell the problem. Arsenal's overall strength is not worse than Derby County. At least their The overall strength of the players is also over 80, such as Henry and Vieira, whose strength is also over 90, they are real superstar players.
If the current Derby County and Chelsea go head-to-head to show off the team's offensive ability, the possibility of winning is very low. In the world of football, 'defense wins' is not an empty phrase, especially Chelsea's strength is stronger than Derby County A lot, even at home, the chances are very small.
Wansheng estimates the odds to be less than 30 percent.
This kind of opportunity is too small, so Wansheng requires the team to do a good job of defense.
But unlike what many people think, Wansheng can't ask the team to keep defending and relying on luck to keep the goal. If he insists on defending the whole team, he has the confidence to defend the goal. The chance is always more than 50%, but 50% chance to go. Betting on a draw... It's better to attack head-on and bet on the 30% chance of winning. Losing is only 1 point less than a draw. There is no need to do that.
Wansheng's idea is just one word - look for opportunities!
It is impossible for Chelsea to insist on continuous suppression throughout the game, and at the same time insist that the defense in the backcourt has been stable. After 90 minutes of the game, they will always relax. That is to say, the team will always have a chance. The chances of the ball are still great.
In Wansheng's view, the current game is like a powerful tactic, fighting against a weaker assassin.
Soldiers are very powerful, with strong defense capabilities and good offense. Soldiers can completely suppress assassins by virtue of defense and offense, but the reason why assassins are assassins is to hit a single hit, and they can still pose a threat to soldiers, as long as the soldiers are negligent. , or if there is a mistake, let the assassin seize the opportunity, maybe the victory or defeat can be decided in an instant!
This is Wansheng's understanding of the game, and he prepared accordingly.
It is impossible for all eleven players on the court to be of one mind, but for the whole team, the most core player is Morris. Even Van der Vaart, who has performed extremely well recently, is less important in tactics than Morris. Morris may not be able to match Van der Vaart's personal ability, but he is definitely much stronger than Van der Vaart in terms of grasping the game. Morris' evaluation of various mental attributes proves this, whether it is the overall situation, will, etc. In terms of evaluation values, all of them exceed '90', which is very rare even in the top leagues.
So the key to winning is Morris.
The captain on the field is Marcus, but Morris is the real commander of the team. As long as Morris launches an attack, the entire Derby County team will seize the opportunity to counterattack.
This is the winning chip.
So when he saw the team's passive defense, Wansheng didn't care, because the development of the game was firmly in his hands, and he had thought of this situation before the game.
This is Wansheng and Mourinho's grasp of the game. (To be continued ~^~)
