The locker room of the home team at Stamford Bridge Stadium was dead silent.

All the players sat quietly in front of their wardrobe, looking at each other with a little unconscious eyes.

Just now, just before the first half was about to end, Bayern Munich suddenly launched a fierce attack, causing Chelsea's defensive mistake. Mikel first made a low-level mistake and passed the ball to Ribery. Then he missed a person while defending a corner kick, and was inserted into a header after Vidal.

After all, what time has it been?

Since Christmas, Chelsea has no idea how many times it has been headed by the opponent.

What exactly is the problem? What's going on?

Everyone knows it in their hearts that the main reason is that the team is fighting continuously, which is too tired and lacks an effective rotation mechanism.

But should this be the coaching staff take the blame?

According to common sense, if the head coach doesn’t memorize it, who memorizes it?

But every player present knew very well that head coach Rijkaard was actually quite unfair.

Now that I’m fine, what should I do?

Hearing the door of the locker room, Rijkaard walked in from outside with Tenkater. Everyone was looking at the head coach in unison, and they could easily see his determination at this moment from the expression on Rijkaard's face.

"It's a pity that we conceded the goal in the last moment of the first half, which forced us to change our plans temporarily."

Rijkald said, looking at the players with a firm look on his face.

Every player present was not surprised, and even this decision was within their expectations.

Long before the game, media broke the news that Chelsea management had issued a kill order. If the team cannot reach the semi-finals in the Champions League, Rijkaard will be dismissed.

It can be said that this news put Rijkaard on the stove and roasted it.

How can you win if you fall behind with one goal without changing your tactics and not suppressing your attack?

Especially this is still at home. If you can't equalize the score, you will go to the away game in the next round. How to play?

"Michael, I'm sorry, we need to make adjustments in the second half." Rijkaard looked at Barak.

The German midfielder was a little surprised, and he didn't expect that he would be the one who was replaced.

In the first half, his performance was indeed not very good, but at least he was not bad. He just didn't perform well on the offensive end. Compared with Mikel in the midfielder, he was already pretty good.

But Barack knew his own affairs. He was thirty-two years old. He was the club's maximum salary but failed to make enough contributions to the team. It was obviously already included in the club's purge list.

"I understand." Barak nodded, got up, walked to the washing room behind, ready to take a shower and change his clothes.

A hint of unbearableness flashed in Rijkald's eyes, but he himself was unable to protect some things.

"Andre, you go to the second half, we will go back to 433, and we must break through Bayern Munich's goal."

Arshavin stood up eagerly and nodded heavily.

Russians admire Gao Han very much because Gao Han's words made Mendes decide to bring him to Atletico Madrid, which gave him the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.

But now he is wearing a Chelsea jersey and must fight Gao Han to the death.

On the contrary, Anelka, who was sitting aside, heard that he had been on Arshavin, not him, and he looked resentful in his eyes swept to Rijkaard.

"Chelsea will not allow us to defend the lead of this goal until the end."

In the visiting team's locker room, Gao Han was also making adjustments to the midfield.

When he said this, he smiled slightly, "So, we have to strive to get a few more."

The sudden turn, combined with Gao Han's tone and expression, made all the players burst into laughter and the atmosphere was very lively.

"I know Abramovich. He has invested so much money in recent years. He is always thinking about how to win the Champions League. He has this obsession. So pre-match rumors that he gave Rijkaard the killing order. If he doesn't enter the Champions League semi-finals, Rijkaard will be dismissed."

"As I said before the game, it was for Rijkaard to dance with heavy shackles, and the goal in the last moment of the first half gave us enough chips and confidence."

This is why Gao Han did not hesitate to use two skill cards in the last two minutes.

worth!

As long as this goal is in hand, Chelsea will be completely passive.

"I can guarantee that they will take the initiative to attack in the second half, but the beginning may be a little steadily and find the rhythm. Our task is to be patient, let them push out and we will fight back."

Gao Han walked to the middle of the players and looked very calm and confident, and he was sure to win.

"We worked hard to attack in the first half, but our opponents didn't dare to come out. Now, the opponents should take the initiative to attack. Don't miss the opportunity and kill them."

After saying that, Gao Han clapped his hands hard.

"Okay, there's not much time now. Everyone, prepare well and try to score another goal in the second half. After the game is over, I'll invite you to my Chinese restaurant to have a meal to celebrate."

When the players heard this, they were all excited.

"The second half started again, and the players of both teams returned to the stadium one after another."

"From the players who played in both teams, Chelsea made a substitution adjustment and replaced Barack with Al Shavin."

"This should be Rijkaard's adjustment, from the first half of the 442 to the 433 formation commonly used by Chelsea, further strengthening the team's offense."

"A very normal decision, after all, now it's zero-to-one at home."

"Look at Bayern Munich, Gao Han did not make substitution adjustments. The goal at the last moment of the first half gave Bayern Munich more confidence to deal with his opponent."

The two teams exchanged half-time and each set up their own formations.

With the referee's whistle, the game began again.

Bayern Munich was very clear about Gao Han's instructions and implemented them very well. After the game, they did not seek attacks, but patiently organized defense in the half of the team.

But is Bayern Munich going to play a defensive counterattack?

Obviously, not.

When Chelsea passed the ball into Bayern Munich's half for the first time, the players of the Bundesliga giants all pushed forward, and through meticulous pressing and oppressing, Chelsea's pass failed and had to pass back to the defense line to find another opportunity.

But soon, Chelsea got a chance.

After returning to the center line, Lampard scored a pass into Bayern Munich's 30-meter area to find Drogba.

The Ivorians did grab the first landing point and stuck the position, but they stopped a little while the ball was stopped. Hummels behind him decisively stepped out to clear the ball, resolving Chelsea's attack again.

Seeing that there was no chance in the middle, Lampard immediately transferred the ball to the wing.

Ashley Cole got the ball from the left and entered Bayern Munich's half. In a one-on-one situation, he threw Modric away with speed and passed it into the penalty area, but no one responded, and was easily taken off by Neuer.

After the opponent's two attacks, Bayern Munich began to increase the defense and pressing efforts in the midfield.

When playing 442 in the first half, the four midfielders were able to suppress Bayern Munich's three midfielders, but now they are three-on-three. Although Lampard and Essin are both players with excellent running coverage, they can't resist the continuous fatigue. In the first half, they fought with Bayern Munich for 45 minutes, and their physical energy was seriously consumed.

"Their passes and catches made a lot more mistakes than in the first half." Gao Han got Sergio Garcia's data, took a look, and stuffed it into Thomas Tuchel's hands.

This is the result of a combination of multiple factors, which are both affected by array change and physical fitness problems.

"Do we want to seize the opportunity to force ourselves?" Thomas Tuchel asked.

In fact, Bayern Munich is not in a particularly good state, you can tell by the players' performance.

If the players in the Bundesliga giants are in good condition, they can score at least two or three goals in the first half, but due to the false alarm of the hotel fire in the early morning, the players are generally not excited enough, resulting in a huge reduction in performance on the field.

"No need." Gao Han smiled faintly, "Thomas, you have to remember that the most taboo thing about playing pass control is not that you can't grab the ball, but that you will lose it quickly after grabbing the ball. This not only makes the player's physical energy consumed more severely, but also seriously damages the player's fighting spirit and morale."

The reason why Gao Han reused Marklele back then was because he could grab the ball, protect the ball, and not easily conceal the ball.

The same is true for Bayern Munich's Schweinsteiger. Gao Han even thought about using a more stable Ram to play single midfielder, but later gave up for all considerations.

Chelsea’s problem now is that they make many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, and they have to grab the ball after losing it, but they have lost it soon.

"You wait and see." Gao Han smiled confidently.

Since the set piece in the first half, this game has been under his control.

Facts have proved that Gao Han’s judgment was correct.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Bayern Munich intercepted the ball from the middle, and Vidal poked the ball to Modric, who passed it to the frontcourt to Ribery.

After Ribery took the ball and attracted the defensive attention, he knocked the ball to the left side with a heel.

At this time, Marcelo inserted from the back as fast as possible. After receiving the ball, he rushed to the bottom line and directly crossed the ball from the left. Aguero, who had been ambushing in the middle, quickly followed up and grabbed the two Chelsea central defenders at the front of the small penalty area. He pushed and shot and scored, 2-0!

The whole goal was scored very quickly, and Chelsea's defense was torn apart by Bayern Munich's counterattack before they could even react. By the time they returned to defense, the ball had already entered.

This goal can almost be said to have completely destroyed Chelsea.

After that, the Blues tried many times to stop the decline, but Bayern Munich took the opportunity to control the game, played its advantage in passing and controlling, and organized and planned the offense again and again.

Rijcard soon made another substitution adjustment and replaced Beletti with the sluggish Bosingwa. This was obviously a move to strengthen the defense, which made Abramovich and others in the stands extremely dissatisfied.

The Russians even expressed their protest by leaving the table in anger.

Gao Han quickly made a substitution and replaced Schweinsteiger, who was heavily consuming physical energy.

Then he replaced left-back Marcelo with Badstuber.

When the game reached the 77th minute, Bayern Munich made another sharp counterattack.

After receiving a long pass from Tony Kroos on the right, Robben once again turned to his powerful personal ability and wanted to cut inside to the front of the penalty area, but was hugged by Ashley Cole with his strong personal ability.

The referee gave a yellow card without any doubt and gave Bayern Munich a set piece opportunity to go to the right of the front of the penalty area.

Modric took the free kick and sent a curved ball to cross. Lucio in the penalty area quickly inserted, grabbed the first landing point, headed the ball, and once again broke through Chelsea's goal.

Three to zero!
Chapter completed!
