Ball king grower

When the players from both sides shook hands, Lin Yu smiled and said to Mandzukic: "Let me see how capable you are."

"Can I interpret this as a provocation?" Mandzukic asked.

"Well, no problem. If you think provocation can make you more motivated, then just understand. I really want to see what you can do in your strongest state. I'm looking forward to it." Lin Yu

He smiled and said.

"I'll let you know." Mandzukic exerted great force on his hand, but how could he be Lin Yu's opponent in terms of strength? His hand was pinched so painfully that he had to pull it back.

"Hehe, I can't compete with you. Let me see how you score goals. As my successor at Chelsea, you can't perform too poorly." Lin Yu said with a smile.

"snort!"

Mandzukic snorted coldly and stood on the court with his teammates. He was full of expectations and decided to teach Lin Yu a lesson at the Bernabeu Stadium so that Lin Yu would always remember his name Mandzukic.

After the game started, Chelsea put on a defensive posture, which is what most teams do when they come to the Bernabeu Stadium. There is nothing surprising, but Mandzukic did not go back. He always stood in the frontcourt.

Between offside and not offside, although speed is not his advantage, there is no problem in being a bridgehead. With his excellent header, he can transfer the ball to his teammates and form a quick counterattack.

Precisely because this is a set of defensive counterattack tactics, Mandzuki cherishes it even more. This kind of tactics can better reflect the value of a forward. When the whole team focuses on defense, if you can score a goal,

The improvement to the morale of the whole team will be immeasurable. It will also have a huge impact on the outcome of the game.

At that time, others will respect Mandzukic even more and give him higher respect.

Of course, in the frontcourt, he strictly follows Mourinho's instructions. In addition to wanting to score goals, he also has to learn to counterattack on the spot and intercept in the frontcourt. This is the forward that Mourinho likes.

.

Although Mandzukic definitely cannot compare with Lin Yu at this point. But he is working hard to improve. At least in the Chelsea team, he lives more comfortably than in Bayern Munich and Guardiola.

It is much more comfortable under the tent.

Mandzukic is no longer a child, so he understands that no matter how fierce the words with Lin Yu are before the game, he must not be hot-headed during the game. The media described this game as a one-on-one battle between him and Lin Yu.

.But Mandzukic disagreed with this.

He always believes that a forward's outstanding performance cannot be separated from his teammates. He is not arrogant enough to abandon his teammates and go it alone. He understands that if he wants to compete with Lin Yu, he must get the support of his teammates.

In fact, why not Lin Yu? Do you think he can win every game on his own? That's impossible. Except for a few times when he saves the team like crazy, in fact, most of the time. Lin Yu

The most commendable thing is the tacit cooperation with teammates.

Because it is a defensive counterattack tactic, he will probably have very few opportunities. But it doesn't matter, he just needs to wait silently for the moment when the opportunity comes. He is a killer, and he will kill people with one strike!

…

Most of the time, Lin Yu's opponent is not Mandzukic, but the midfielder and backfield combination of Fabregas and Matic.

Mourinho's order to Matic and Fabregas was to prevent Lin Yu and the central defender from facing each other as much as possible, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

It's a very simple reason. If the midfielder makes a mistake, there are defenders who can step up. But once the defender makes a mistake, the door is basically opened. If you want to rely on the goalkeeper to block Lin Yu's shot and save the world, that's too much.

It's not realistic anymore.

Chelsea's current central defender combination is Cahill and Zouma. The abilities of these two are actually not bad, and they can be said to be very strong. At least there is no second central defender more efficient than them in today's football.

Partnered up.

Although their reputation is worse than Ramos, David Luiz, and even worse than the combination of Pique and Hummels, their reputation cannot be eaten for a living. The key is whether it works in the game.

Cahill and Zouma are not worth much, but under Mourinho's training, their abilities are surprisingly effective.

They are not that comprehensive, but they can prevent many forwards from scoring goals.

But even so, facing Lin Yu, these two people are definitely not enough. If they really want to defend Lin Yu, even if they have enough physical strength, they can do it, but once there is a problem with their physical strength, it will be over.

That's why Mourinho ordered Matic and Fabregas to block Lin Yu in the midfield.

Like the two central defenders, Cesc Fabregas and Matic are not considered to be the world's top midfielders. Although Fabregas was once very close to the world's top midfielders, it is a pity that he was completely abandoned in Barcelona. The midfielder is not like a midfielder and a forward.

Unlike forwards, who waste all their talents.

The same goes for Matic. In terms of reputation, he cannot be compared with Pogba, Modric, or even Gundogan, but he is practical enough.

Both of these people belong to the pragmatic school. They don't sound very good, but they are very useful when used.

Lin Yu is invincible in La Liga and has encountered many good midfielders, such as Barcelona's Butzquez and Mascherano, and Atletico Madrid's Gabi and Thiago, but these players have no real significance.

They had defended Lin Yu, maybe because they had never concentrated on defending. They gave more tasks to the defenders.

But this time it's different. Matic and Fabregas' purpose is very clear, which is to block Lin Yu's path and prevent him from approaching the penalty area.

Of course, Matic and Fabregas both understand that even if they join forces, they may not be able to stop the monster-like Lin Yu, so defense must be focused on methods.

Fight for the body?

That's simply impossible.

Not to mention Cesc Fabregas, he has never been famous for his physical skills. He is more outstanding for his skills at the feet and his excellent calm judgment ability.

Matic has a good body and has an advantage in height. But compared with Lin Yu, he is not good. It is estimated that his body will be useless if he is hit by Lin Yu twice.

Fighting technology?

That is of course unrealistic. Lin Yu has more superb foot skills than Messi, and has very terrifying speed. Relying on technology is unreliable.

So what exactly does it depend on?

Of course it depends on your brain!

Defense is neither a physical job nor a technical job. It is about blocking the opponent at the right time, causing trouble for the opponent, and doing the maximum thing at the minimum cost. This is the true meaning.

What to do?

In fact, it is easy to solve. Fabregas has excellent passing skills and judgment ability. Matic has excellent header ability and stealing ability. When the two of them are combined, one makes judgment and the other intercepts. As long as

If the ball can't reach Lin Yu's feet, then Lin Yu has no threat.

If the interception fails and the ball reaches Lin Yu's feet, it doesn't matter. Matic can go up and interfere with Lin Yu. He doesn't fight with Lin Yu physically, but he can use some small moves to make Lin Yu uncomfortable, and then Fabregas takes the opportunity to break the ball.

ball.

The combination of these two people is a perfect match. If it really works, it can really achieve something.

If Lin Yu can break through in this way, then there is a last resort. That is to commit a foul. If even a foul is not possible, then you can also team up with the central defender to attack Lin Yu. Anyway, you will definitely not give Lin Yu any chance to shoot.

This defensive strategy can be said to be very well done. If Lin Yu scores a goal like this, it can only be said that Lin Yu is too strong.

This strategy was decided before the game and was practiced many times on the training ground before it finally took shape.

Today's game is just an attempt and an actual battle. If it works well, it can still be used at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, and maybe some reasonable improvements can be made.

…

After the game started, Chelsea left Mandzukic in the frontcourt and the rest of the team retreated to defend. In this case, Real Madrid would definitely have to press forward and attack. This is a tactic Real Madrid is good at.

In order to attack the heart of Chelsea's penalty area, Lin Yu and his teammates must face four lines of defense.

The first one is Mandzukic's frontcourt interception.

This is easier to deal with, because Lin Yu is stronger than Mandzukic in terms of speed and body, and Lin Yu has never been held back in one-on-one situations, so it is not a big problem to pass this level.

.

The second level is the defense line composed of Oscar, Hazard and Schürrle. This is a little more difficult to deal with. Oscar's interception ability is very strong. Mourinho has almost trained him to become white and hard.

Hazard and Schürrle's defensive ability is weaker, but they are active enough. They work very hard and often drop back to the backcourt to help defend.

Lin Yu faced Oscar with a smile on his face: "Apprentice, you are trying to bully your master and destroy your ancestors."

"You're not the same, hehe." Oscar smiled back at him, and then the two of them got into a fight.

Oscar tried to block Lin Yu with his body, but unfortunately he found that his master was now better at using his body than before. Without using all his strength, he just hit certain parts of his body and made him uncomfortable.

The law blocked it.

Xu Erle and Azar came to help, but unfortunately they were more brave than resourceful. They all shoveled cleanly, but Lin Yu got past them easily.

Passed the second level successfully.

Next, Lin Yu will face the third level composed of Matic and Fabregas. At first, Lin Yu didn't particularly care, because they had played against each other when Fabregas was in Barcelona, ​​and they didn't care.

I found out how strong this guy is defensively and his passing ability is quite good.

As for Matic, Lin Yu didn't know much about him, so he didn't know what Matic's strength was.

In Lin Yu's view, these are just two ordinary players who cannot be more ordinary.

Fortunately, Matic and Fabregas didn't know what he was thinking. Otherwise, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. They carefully studied how to deal with Lin Yu, and even regarded it as a mission and revenge.

But Lin Yu, fortunately, didn't take them seriously at all.

This is simply like a person going to seek revenge against his enemy. In the end, they think you are a beggar and just throw you two taels of money and send you away. That kind of humiliation is really not fun.

…

Matic and Cesc Fabregas concentrate on dealing with Lin Yu, then who will defend the other Real Madrid players?

Don't worry, this is not a problem. Mourinho has already thought of a countermeasure.

First let Mandzukic hold down at least two Real Madrid defenders in the frontcourt, because with Mandzukic's ability, Zidane would never dare to send only one person to defend. If he did, Real Madrid would lose.

The ball will come sooner or later. They must send one person to defend Mandzukic closely, and the other to support him from the side, so as to ensure that they can advance and retreat well.

After that, since Oscar couldn't stop Lin Yu, he simply targeted Isco, Pogba and Modric in the middle. Schürrle and Hazard on the wing would also come back to watch out for Marseille.

Breakthrough for Lowe and Carvajal.

Oscar can't stop Lin Yu, but he has great experience in dealing with Isco. He is not afraid of Pogba and Modric at all. These years of training have allowed him to fully grow up. He has to thank Lin Yu.

, it was Lin Yu who taught him how to use his body to defend and how to use his body to deal with the enemy. (To be continued...)
