14 Chelsea’s counterattack

14 Chelsea's counterattack

Throughout Buffalo Essien's career, it is not difficult to find that Essien is the kind of entangled midfielder. om When Essien first entered the Chelsea team, he was a very good student next to Makelele, and he inherited Makelele's strong coverage defense very well.

However, it is still impossible for Essien to become Makelele. Perhaps there is only one Makelele in this world.

With the development of modern football, many defensive midfielders have forgotten that defense is their bounden duty, and Essien is no exception. In the latter part of Essien's career, the reason why he slowly fell from a generation of beasts to Chelsea The main reason why he was a substitute and was even thrown to Real Madrid by Chelsea like trash was not his injury.

When Makelele, an excellent mentor, was still there, Makelele was able to command Essien, and when Makelele retired, when Essien finally became the core of Chelsea's defense, that period can be said to be Chelsea's defense. Bad times.

Essien loves to play too much, which is why Mourinho let Essien play right back. It is not impossible for a midfielder to attack, because modern football requires every midfielder to have certain qualities. offensive ability.

But Essien seems to have forgotten that with his rough foot skills, it is very likely that he will just add chaos to his teammates when he inserts an offense.

Essien's foot skills have not improved since he joined Chelsea. Character determines destiny! Looking at Essien's off-court life, it is not difficult to find that this is a player who relies on his body for food when looking at him on the court.

Makelele does not have as good physical talent as Essien, so the French sports car has to rely on his command to defend.

A person's talent also kills people. Essien didn't learn to use his brain until later in his career, but he had already lost his former bravery without any talent at that time.

...

It seems that Makelele's warning did not make Essien more cautious. After he retreated that step wisely, he gave Leon the space to pass the ball.

So Leon once again proved why he is worth 100 million pounds.

In the replay of this classic Stamford Bridge battle, almost everyone believed that Essien was an undercover agent.

Leon turned around and passed the ball without looking at anyone. Essien, who had taken a step back, missed the best route to block Leon's pass. Leon's long pass was straight like a bomb detonated in Chelsea's backcourt up!

Tevez, who was extremely fast, received a long pass from Leon. The Argentine Beast showed his basic skills that he had practiced hard in the summer.

Wonderful stop and go straight!

In an instant, Chelsea's defense line was wide open again, even though the London Twin Towers were extremely strong, they could not recover!

Tevez cut in from the left at high speed, Carvalho and Terry did not make up defense, nor did they not make up defense.

So the hopes of Chelsea fans are once again pinned on their goalkeeper Saint Peter Cech.

Football history has told people more than once that the team that always expects the goalkeeper to play will definitely taste the bitter fruit.

Tevez chose a different method from Lionwell, but achieved the same effect, that is-goal!

Tevez shot a low shot from a small angle, and Petr Cech didn't have time to react. The ball got into the net behind him from his armpit.

Thanks to Essien for giving Inter Milan a fantastic start!

After scoring the goal, Tevez hammered his chest with both hands, and the beast seemed to say, see, my name is Tevez! Stamford Bridge was silent, two to zero, and people will not forget that this was the score of the second leg of Chelsea's elimination of Inter Milan last season.

Inter Milan responded to the doubts of the British fans after they were eliminated last season with the strongest counterattack, and Leonwell also proved his value as the World Footballer of the Year with his actions.

Perfect opening blitz, Inter Milan almost copied the tactics of the Germans in World War II.

Don't you Chelsea want to be fast? I'm faster than you. Aren't you good at counterattacks? Facts have proved that Inter Milan, which scored two goals in two attacks, is also good at counterattacks.

At this time, Makelele could only look at Essien with his hands helplessly, and at this moment, the buffalo might realize that the opponent standing in front of him was not the opponent he had encountered in the past. .

His name is Lionwell, he is the most expensive player in the world, he is a two-time World Footballer of the Year and two-time European Footballer of the Year.

Even his teacher Makelele would never dare to force Leon to such a death.

At this time, Mourinho sat on the bench calmly on the sidelines. People probably thought that Mourinho had something to do.

Close &Advertising&

In fact, Mourinho has no backers. The purpose of the lineup and net he chose for Chelsea is to grab the start.

But what hasn't been grabbed at the start, Chelsea is already behind zero to two.

But a famous coach is a famous coach, and Mourinho is Mourinho for a reason.

With zero to two behind, Mourinho desperately called Joe Cole from the bench.

Perhaps Joe Cole never dreamed that he, who has always been used to being a supporting role, would become the protagonist this time.

...

Joe Cole, as one of the active British internationals and one of the more skilled players, he is different from most English rough brothers, he is a player who can dribble, break through, pass and even occasionally bring a little bit to the team. Little surprise for the players.

Someone once compared Joe Cole to Luis Garcia, but that was inappropriate, because Joe Cole is different from Luis Garcia. Stablize.

Under Mourinho's rule, people are actually most worried that Joe Cole will not get too many opportunities, but in the three years of 0407, Joe Cole basically played many times every season.

This is a good player.

Mourinho left Joe Cole as the last backhand. In the 17th minute of the first half, Mourinho patted Joe Cole on the shoulder after changing his equipment and handing over Chelsea's Tiger Talisman to him. When he went up, this rather handsome Englishman was a little apprehensive.

Joe Cole knew what he was up to, and he also knew the challenges he faced.

These are not those teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Their opponents are Inter Milan with Lionwell. To be honest, Joe Cole himself is a little bit unconfident.

But Joe Cole still bite the bullet, and it turns out that at least in the battle at Stamford Bridge, this seemingly weak Englishman is more manly than Essien.

Mourinho made a substitution, a substitution that surprised all the commentators and the audience, not because Joe Cole replaced Essien, but because Essien was not injured in the 17th minute of the first half. Replace him.

This is a very shocking substitution, and Essien really should be hit. The rebellious Ghanaian buffalo walked off the court without saying a word.

He himself knows what his two mistakes mean. If Inter Milan did not score, then he may still be on the field, but today Inter Milan's efficiency is too high.

Essien was replaced, and he became Chelsea's scapegoat in the first half. In fact, Mourinho didn't want to do this, but Mourinho knew in his heart that if Essien committed another two, then Chelsea would definitely be over.

Although it is only a group match, this is Chelsea's home game after all. Mourinho can accept a draw but can't accept the feeling of being captured by the same team twice within a year.

After Joe Cole was good at it, Lampard's position was withdrawn to the central midfielder. He will partner with Makelele, but Makelele is also very clear in his heart that in fact, he will be responsible for Chelsea's defensive area next.

bring it on! Makelele, who was over 30 years old, took a deep breath and thought firmly, let me work hard before retiring!

At this time, Makelele turned his attention to Leonwell, one of the best juniors in his eyes. Every time he saw Leonwell's defensive position selection, Makelele couldn't help feeling that the world It's not that there are no good midfielders. Look, Inter Milan has one.

And Leon is very similar to Makelele, that is, neither of them relies entirely on their bodies, but uses their own wisdom to defend.

At this moment, Chelsea really had no choice but to make a move.

They must do everything possible to get a goal back before the end of the first half, so that they can return to the locker room with a relatively small disadvantage.

Joe Cole took the words of Mourinho to all the players and Mourinho asked Chelsea to attack!

"Trust Claude and our defenders! We are the Premier League champions." This sentence was not what Mourinho asked Joe Cole to bring to his teammates. God knows why this player who has always felt soft is here At this time, I said such a backbone to my teammates.

The situation began to change.

Starting from Joe Cole, unlike Robben who will be afraid once he encounters a tackle, Joe Cole is more like a fighter at this time.

Maybe Mourinho doesn't know that Chelsea is like their home to Joe Cole, Lampard and Terry. When their homes are destroyed by their opponents, can they still not work hard?

Joe Cole has never encountered such a difficult task in his career, but at this moment, pressure, responsibility, and the individual heroism of the English made Joe Cole desperate.

Joe Cole's courage and his breakthroughs brought Chelsea's morale back.

In the 35th minute of the first half, it was Joe Cole's bottom cross that created the murderous intent. Although Crespo's forward header missed the ball, it interfered with the Inter Milan defender Samuel who was behind. you.

Didier Drogba swept the ball straight into the goal guarded by Cesar!

One to two, Chelsea pulled back a victory!
