Chapter 684
Afternoon, October 26, Cheshire.
Cristiano Ronaldo was sitting on the sofa in the living room of his villa, watching the live broadcast of the Premier League on the TV in the middle. It was a highlight of the ninth round of the Premier League. Liverpool challenged Chelsea away.
At this time, there was a clear whistle on the TV, and Howard Webb blew the whistle to end the first half.
The players of the two teams were obviously not satisfied with the results of the first half of the game, and the live broadcast of Sky TV was specially aimed at Yang Yang. The Chinese star also looked very depressed.
"Yang Yang played very hard in the first half, but it's a pity that Scolari deployed heavy troops on his side."
"Chelsea's current offense is indeed very problematic. It has been reported before that Scolari has clearly asked the Chelsea management to introduce strong support during the winter break. His most important target is the Italian talent Balotelli who plays for Inter Milan. The latter's current situation in Inter Milan is not very ideal."
"Inter Milan coach Mourinho obviously doesn't trust Balotelli. After the draw with Genoa, Mourinho even criticized Balotelli for not following his request. This made Chelsea see the possibility of poaching this Italian talent."
"But for this game, Chelsea did a pretty good job defending."
"On the right side, Bosingwa couldn't defend Yang Yang alone, but Carvalho has been supporting his compatriots all the time. In addition, Lampard retreats frequently, making Chelsea's defense on the entire right side very solid."
"Yang Yang appeared to be very diligent in the game, but it is a pity that he faced the iron wall of Chelsea."
……
Listening to Andy Gray's commentary on TV, Ronaldinho was obviously in a better mood.
A month ago, he followed Manchester United to an away game against Chelsea, and he also encountered the same problems that Liverpool are now encountering.
Although the Blues have changed coaches frequently, in fact, the underlying structure is still the same as that of Mourinho at the time. After Scolari came to power, he introduced Deco, obviously wanting to strengthen the team's pass and control, and inject finesse into the original tough style of play.
But the effect is not satisfactory.
"Benitez's defense is still very solid. Except for Deco's long shot, Chelsea really didn't get too many opportunities, and even the number of shots directly facing the goal was pitifully small."
Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes made a special trip to Manchester yesterday, mainly because he received a call from Cristiano Ronaldo, and came here to discuss with him the current problems he has encountered, as well as the two awards in December.
If it is said that Yang Yang took away the best striker in UEFA's best awards of the year, but Ronaldinho still won the most important best player, which can be regarded as faintly overwhelming the opponent, then in the selection of the best player of the FIFPro season just announced, Yang Yang's election is undoubtedly a blow to the momentum of the Portuguese.
Although this award has only been established for three or four years, it is still an international award.
Not to mention anything else, after the photo was taken, it was posted on the official website, and then sent to major media around the world, and it immediately became the headlines of major media around the world. Everyone knew that Yang Yang took away this award, which was regarded as a weathervane, which was quite unfavorable to Ronaldinho.
After Mendes arrived in Manchester yesterday, Manchester United was challenging Everton away. As a result, the two sides played one to one. Fletcher scored, Ronaldinho showed no performance, and was still very depressed.
It's a bit like Yang Yang at the beginning of this year!
However, after watching Liverpool play Chelsea in the first half today, it is estimated that Ronaldinho's mood will improve a lot.
"Chelsea is probably out of luck this season." Ronaldinho shook his head.
"Is this an internal judgment of Manchester United?"
Ronaldinho nodded, "Although the league has only played a few rounds so far, many problems have actually been exposed. Chelsea's offense is too bad. Without offense, they can't play a threat at all, and they have encountered a hurdle this season."
"Hom?"
"They started to like to play pass control and pressure, but if they meet the kind of team that can maintain a strict defensive position under their pass control and pressure, their offense will be powerless, so they have lost a lot of points this season."
Tottenham Hotspur tied [-]-[-] at home, Manchester United [-]-[-] at home, Wigan Athletic was beaten away with difficulty, and even Manchester City [-]-[-] away was very thrilling.
It can be said that Chelsea's problems have been exposed very clearly, and this problem is not easy to solve.
Scolari said that after Drogba's comeback, Chelsea's problems can be solved, but in fact, Drogba has never been a player known for his scoring efficiency, but Chelsea now lacks an excellent and stable scorer.
"The old man said that this year's Chelsea is very similar to the previous Liverpool. It lacks stable scorers and wide players. Even he can't figure it out. Why did Chelsea sell all the wingers in one go?"
When Mendes heard this, he suddenly sneered for no reason, "Maybe, in their eyes, removing the winger means removing the traces left by Mourinho, but they don't know that this is driving themselves to a dead end."
In addition to being Ronaldinho's agent, he is also Mourinho's agent, so he naturally has some complaints about Chelsea.
However, Chelsea's current problems are really serious, especially when they have a strong dialogue, they will be more exposed.
Malouda was sluggish and Kalou was unstable. After sending away Robben, Duff and Wright Phillips one after another, Chelsea's wingers who once roamed the Premier League have disappeared.
Interestingly, they are still playing [-].
It can be seen how profound Mourinho's influence on this team is, and it can even be said to have entered the bone marrow.
"The offense is weak, but the defense is still quite good. I am optimistic that they will hold the second half and even have a chance to steal a goal." Ronaldinho laughed.
Judging from the first half, Chelsea controlled the situation, Liverpool passively defended, and the scene was relatively difficult. The most important thing is that Yang Yang was restricted by Scolari's targeted tactics.
Don't think that Scolari is the coach of Brazil, but think that he should play pass control and offensive football. As everyone knows, Scolari was able to lead the Brazil team to win the World Cup in Korea and Japan that year, and he is known for his conservative double midfielders.
It's just that 3R was too popular back then, and his personal ability was too strong, which covered up this point.
…………
…………
Chelsea is indeed in short supply.
In the last game, Malouda only played half of the game and was taken off by Scolari midfielder because of his poor performance. But he didn't expect to start again in this game, because Chelsea had no one else available on the wing.
But the Blues still have a certain advantage in their own home court, coupled with the overall strength of the team.
Under the organization of Deco, the midfielder attacked Liverpool time and time again, especially after entering the second half, Chelsea began to strengthen the possession of the ball, actively divided the ball towards the two wings, and tried to launch an offensive from the side.
But Liverpool's two wings, whether Arbeloa or Aurelio, defended quite well and did not give their opponents a chance.
Even if the pass barely reaches the penalty area, without Drogba, it would be difficult for Chelsea's cross to be a threat.
Seeing that the situation remained the same in the second half, Benitez finally couldn't hold back and made a substitution adjustment in the No. 60 minute.
Gareth Bale replaced Crouch, who had a mediocre performance in this game.
Wales still played the left winger position before and after the winger, but the original left winger Yang Yang let Benitez top to the front, Dirk Dirk and Gerrard still played their original positions.
Some adjustments were also made in the midfield. Javier Mascherano, who was as stable as ever in this game, served as the lone midfielder, and Xavi Alonso was positioned more forward. At the same time, Benitez also conveyed instructions, hoping that the team would press forward appropriately.
"We gave the opponent too many possessions, press me out!"
Pushing Yang Yang to the front is not to let him act as a tactical center to support, but to give him more freedom to play, run, and find loopholes in Chelsea's defense, instead of being restricted to the left.
Yang Yang also quickly reciprocated, creating a threat in just 2 minutes. After cooperating with Gareth Bale on the left rib, he got a free kick, and he personally took the free kick.
As a result, he hit the right post directly and bounced back to the penalty area. Carvalho made a clearance first. .
This made Yang Yang very angry, and he jumped up.
Cech didn't respond to the ball at all. If he took a little more arc, the ball would be scored.
And 3 minutes later, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right and cooperated with Dirk. After getting the ball, he was about to make a pass from the bottom, but was fouled by Ashley Cole and could no longer create a threat.
No.707 minutes, Gerrard headed the ball from the middle, Yang Yang got the ball before Mikel and Carvalho, suddenly turned around and shot a long shot, which scared everyone in Chelsea. Cech even flew to save.
But it is a pity that this long-range shot missed the post slightly and missed the goal again.
Although Liverpool were at a disadvantage in possession of the ball, they gradually created opportunities on the offensive end. Scolari quickly realized this and immediately made substitutions and adjustments, just to force Liverpool's counterattack down.
As a result, Belletti replaced Malouda, Di Santo replaced Kalou, and Chelsea began to change their strategy and strengthen their midfield defense.
Scolari's strategy is obvious. This is Stamford Bridge, and it's a strong dialogue. He would rather draw [-]-[-] than give Liverpool any chance, especially Yang Yang, who must be completely suppressed.
Even if you are a wild dragon crossing the river, you have to bow your head to me when you come to my territory!
…………
…………
Time passed minute by minute.
Seeing that the situation was still deadlocked after 10 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was far away in Cheshire, couldn't help but relax after being nervous for a while.
"Basically almost, Scolari will not give him a chance."
He was even thinking, should he call Scolari after the game to thank him?
Before Scolari coached Chelsea, he was the coach of the Portuguese national team.
