Chapter 211 It's Not Over (Part 1)
Chapter 211 Not finished yet (Part 1)
Don En stood on the sidelines with his chest wrapped around his arms, but the camera focused on the stands at the far side of his side. The electronic scoreboard clearly shows the score so far - 2:1. The home team Nottingham Forest leads the visiting team Chelsea.
Mourinho also stood on the sidelines. Unlike Don En, he put his hands in his pockets.
Just now, Mourinho grabbed Lampard while conceding the ball, told him to cancel the plan and devote all his energy to finding the weaknesses of the Forest's defense.
Both head coaches had serious expressions on their faces. The game was not over yet, and the leading Don did not want to be caught up by Mourinho. He was unwilling to repeat Mourinho's mistakes. He knew that Mourinho's Chelsea was a tough tough trick.
There is nothing to be happy about leading one goal now. Who knows what will happen in the subsequent game?
Chelsea, who was behind, did not give up. There was still half an hour left in the second half, and they had time to equalize the score, and the game was not at the end of the day for them.
What is the reason for the forty-one round of invincibility? It’s not just Abramovich’s ruble.
Strictly speaking, this Chelsea team has no truly recognized superstar worldwide. Although its value is not low, it was also hyped up by Abramovich.
This team was able to win the league championship with an absolute advantage last season because of their head coach Mourinho's level of integrating the team's combat effectiveness.
He instilled a kind of fighting spirit and desire for victory in the "mercenaries" who had accumulated through money - which was very similar to Donn's Forest Team - so they won several times in adversity and escaped from danger again and again.
Today's game was just one of them.
Mourinho's team never knows how to write "saying defeat".
After conceding the ball, Chelsea launched a crazy counterattack against Forest, so that the leading Forest team was a little embarrassed.
Mourinho asked the whole Chelsea team to push forward the formation and oppress the Forest's defense line, and at the same time trapped Anelka and Viduka through offside tactics.
In this way, Chelsea's formation is more compact, and when pressing up to attack, putting pressure layer by layer. Even if the Forest team kicks forward, the possibility of falling to the Chelsea players is very large, and then organizes two, three, and four attacks.
This gives the Forest players the impression that Chelsea's continuous offense. For defensive players, the pressure increases step by step until they can't bear the collapse in the end. The specific phenomenon is proactive mistakes.
George; Wood was tangled by Lampard and had no time to take care of other Chelsea attacks.
Chelsea identified a point to attack. They hit the ball in that direction again and again - their right and Forest's left.
Duff and Robben would have occasionally switched positions during the game, but it was not fixed to whoever left and right. Now the two have changed positions more frequently.
Leiden; Barnes was originally the weakest among the four starting defenders of the Forests. Mourinho knew very well, and Chelsea players were also very clear that they kept rushing to Barnes' defense zone in order to make him collapse earlier than the other points of the Forests.
"Press it out!Press it out!" Tang En shouted loudly on the sidelines. He waved his arms hard, but no one could notice it. Even if he noticed it, it was useless. It was not that he could push the forest team's line just by shouting "Press it out".
Chelsea is pushing too hard, and the Forest has completely fallen into their pace. What good results can you get by following the opponent?
Although the situation is critical, Tang En does not intend to make adjustments by substitution. Because of the current situation, he does not have a suitable candidate to change.
This situation will be faced in any game - the opponent suddenly exerted his strength, and formed an absolute advantage over a period of time, and bombarded our goal.
But the more you are at this time, the less you can't panic. Blind and hasty adjustments will give your opponent a real opportunity to take advantage of.
Don En did not make any adjustments. He believed that the eleven Forest players on the court could withstand this wave of Chelsea's offensive.
As long as you resist, Chelsea will inevitably be discouraged. The mental deflation brings physical fatigue, so it is time for the Forest team to counterattack.
The key to the problem is only one - withstand Chelsea's storm-like offensive during this period.
But the more critical question is - can the Forest team withstand it?
They are not facing teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league, but Chelsea, who ranks first, scores at most twenty-four goals in ten rounds of the league and concedes at least four goals.
This is a serious test...
Leiden; Barnes felt very tired, even though the game only lasted for 65 minutes. He was not the kind of player who was not physically fit. In fact, he was very physically strong and could run very well.
But if you let him face the offense of a team alone, no matter how hard he can run, he will be dragged down.
He debuted at Athletico de Wigan. He also accepted greetings from Wigan before he fought with his former club in the opening game of the season.
As the player who has made the most achievements in Wigan, he has become a brand at the Wigan Youth Training Level - a small town that is passionate about rugby can also produce football stars.
Although he joined the Forest team, his favorite team is Wigan Athletics.
When Tang En used his "main position" to attract him to transfer to the Forest team, he quickly became the main force with almost different radars on the left back. Although he was only twenty years old, he already had a complete Premier League season experience.
Now he is no longer a newcomer who has never seen the world. Now he is the main left-back of Nottingham Forest. The main left-back of England's under-21 youth team is rumored to be the future star that Ferguson is interested in.
But this game was so miserable...
Of course he knows who he is facing - Irish international Dameen; Duff. Dutch international Robben, these are top players in European football, and their strength is still far from them.
But even though his opponent's strength is far stronger than him, he is unwilling to admit that it is natural that he is so embarrassed.
None of the players under Tang En is willing to admit that they are inferior to others.
They like to compete and be competitive like their own boss and can't afford to lose.
Ribery came back to help him defend, but the French were not good at doing such things, not to mention that the Forest team has been suppressed and cannot even lift their heads up. The most important thing is to use offense to counterattack. If he comes back, who will fight back?
Anelka and Viduka fell into Chelsea's offside trap in succession, only
Ribery is so fast that the wing forward who can be inserted in the back has more opportunities to break this trap.
He doesn't want Ribery to come back, otherwise even if he cut the ball, the ball will still be in a small circle because the two are too close. He can't get out for a long time and can only be cut by Chelsea again. Then he will repeat everything he did before.
Too tired!
Usually Wood often supports the defense of the two sides because he is physically strong and fast, and Don also asks him to expand the defense zone. But today... he was entangled by Lampard.
Just now, he rushed over to help defend. Duff passed the ball to Lampard in the middle without hesitation. Chelsea's No. 8 long shot forced Van der Sar to make a wonderful save, but also made Forest fans exclaim.
The defensive barrier in the middle cannot move, and all attacks on the flank are to find opportunities in the middle. Wood came to support Barnes, what should Lampard do? What should Thiago do?
This time Robben and Duff exchanged, and he came to face Barnes' defense, while Duff went to the other side.
Robben's characteristic is that his running steps are small, his steps are fast, and he is straight, and he almost relies on the quick alternating swing of his legs to shake off his opponent.
Barnes stared at Robben who was holding the ball in front of him. He knew that Robben was fast, and half a second of negligence and distraction could cause the opponent to break through.
Ribery was moving closer to Barnes, but Barnes had the only one in his eyes.
"Hold him! Don't make a quick shot! Snaps the inside!" Even Albertini was so anxious that he shouted on the sidelines.
Tang En turned his head and glanced at the Italian. Demi said more than once that he wanted to be the head coach after retirement. His favorite games are the cm and fm series. It seems that he has to be willing to cultivate his abilities in the training field.
Chelsea fans were excited by the continuous bombardment. The large amount of secreted adrenal hormones made them blush and roar and cheer for the team. The Forest fans used booing to entertain Chelsea.
In such a noisy environment, Barnes certainly could not hear Albertini's roar. But the old captain knew that all the shouts were known to him, which was the basic requirement of the defensive players.
Robben's speed seemed unfast, but Barnes dared not take it lightly. It was not the first time he had fought with the Dutch "Peter" in this game. He knew that this seemingly unfamiliar dribble contained very strong explosive power.
