Midfielder

The unexpected loss of the ball forced Barcelona to be very alert to attack Chelsea's defense. Now they have little time left. The reality of falling behind by one goal is like a mountain pressing on them.

"Attack! Must attack like crazy!" This thought tortured the nerves of the Catalans all the time.

Those crazy Barcelona fans kept shouting, as if they wanted to motivate the team to move forward in this way.

They all wanted to see a mercury-like attack, but the opponent they were facing now did not give them the opportunity to play a smooth attack. Mourinho was obviously ready to trap Barcelona at any time.

With a one-goal lead, and still away from home, Mourinho can now let the team start defending unscrupulously. Anyway, he just wants to take advantage of the chaos to stab the opponent one or two times based on the lead.

Letting the opponent press forward and attacking the gap behind the opponent is Mourinho's favorite way of counterattack, and he has defeated quite a few opponents with this offensive rhythm. He has been like this since the Porto era.

This scene may seem unacceptable to many people, especially for the Spaniards who have always regarded offense as their life. Accurate and beautiful cooperation is the most familiar way of playing football for them, rather than pestering.

But Mourinho never needs to use other people's eyes to measure his football. Even if the fans in the stadium booed because Chelsea began to shrink its defense on a large scale, Mourinho could pretend that he didn't hear it at all.

"Boo as much as you want, that's your freedom, but how to play this game has nothing to do with you."

According to Brito, if Mourinho is determined to choose defense, he can be as stingy as a miser, and he is very mean in tactical arrangements. He doesn't care how ugly the big foot clearance is. Anyway, the higher and farther the football flies, the less threat it poses to his own goal.

A pure pragmatist who doesn't consider the viewing of football at all is the secret of Mourinho's mixing in the Champions League.

Last year's championship has made him realize the essence of the Champions League. Anyone who plays well will basically die in the end.

All teams that played badly made it to the semifinals. You can say that the dark horses last year were an accident, but you can't deny one thing: as long as it is a final of a major competition, it is often played very badly, especially after the 1990s.

The so-called peak showdown, to put it nicely, is that fans buy tickets to see the stars in their minds come. To put it bluntly, it is more often a competition to see who makes fewer mistakes on the field, rather than comparing who plays more gorgeously.

Last year's AC Milan was gorgeous enough, sweeping Deportivo La Coruna 4:1 at home, but when they went to their territory, they were simply killed by the opponent in a few minutes. Deportivo La Coruna didn't play well at all.

It's a breakthrough on the wing plus a cross from the bottom, simple and practical. If it is efficient, it will be a massacre.

AC Milan played very gorgeously at the time, but what was the result? They could only accept the result of being reversed 4:0 by the opponent at home, but what about when Deportivo La Coruna met Porto? In terms of efficiency on the field, they lost.

Porto's play was not as gorgeous as AC Milan, but they won. Mourinho let the players seize the opportunity and kill with one blow. He didn't have time to show his opponents so many beautiful cooperation and fancy personal skills.

Just like free fighting, you either don't move in front, as long as you move, you may be knocked down on the field with one punch.

At this moment, Chelsea's implementation of such tactics seems to be more handy, especially the madness of the two wingers.

Compared with the Porto team last season, Chelsea's players have stronger individual abilities, especially Robben and Duff, the two wingers, who can fully undertake the task of attacking the opponent from the back row.

With this kind of wing sharp knife plus Lin Yi's midfield pass, Mourinho can wait for the counterattack to start with peace of mind.

Lampard retreated to the midfield to participate in the interception, Lin Yi pressed forward, and Robben and Duff received the order to press forward with all their strength, always ready to insert into the opponent's penalty area, and open a gap in the two ribs of the Barcelona team.

Drogba in the middle does not need to retreat. This is Mourinho's order. His task is to stay at the front of the opponent's penalty area, so that the opponent's defense line dare not press forward easily. If there is a chance, he will mess with the opponent again.

And Drogba did not disappoint Mourinho's expectations. In the first half, Barcelona's defense line was very tight on him, but when Puyol now had to guard the wing, Drogba was completely liberated.

Marquez? Compared with the tall and strong Drogba, his turning speed is not any advantage. Even if they start at the same time, he seems to be no faster than Drogba, which makes it very difficult for him to defend in the middle.

The most fatal thing is the existence of Lin Yi. Now Barcelona must press forward to attack. Albertini and Deco must follow the team to participate in the attack. They can only hope that they can pay attention to each other's defense.

But Lin Yi was as slippery as a loach on the court, giving Deco and the others no chance to entangle him. Often when the opponent was distracted, he could launch an attack silently in the midfield.

Drogba, Duff, Robben, now Lin Yi can choose a lot of passing routes, but compared with Puyol and Van Bronckhorst who guard the wing, Lin Yi prefers to deliver ammunition to Drogba.

The African elephant's ability to grab points is too strong, especially once a one-on-one situation is formed, this guy can completely break through the confrontation, and the opportunity to face the goal directly is often very deadly.

Less than three minutes after Lin Yi scored, this little guy became the focus of the Nou Camp again, because Lin Yi suddenly inserted a shovel near the center circle and forcibly cut off the ball at Iniesta's feet.

Then before the opponent counterattacked, Lin Yi almost did not stop a long pass and directly found Drogba's high point. This pass was not high, but the speed was extremely fast and very accurate. Drogba turned around and stopped the ball with his chest without any movement. He just needed to use his wide back to lean against Marquez behind him.

Stopping the ball, pulling the ball and turning around, Marquez truly experienced the power of an elephant under such defensive conditions, because he was desperately pulling Drogba's clothes, but he couldn't pull them at all.

The guy almost squeezed Marquez completely behind him with his back. If the guy hadn't pulled too tightly, Drogba would have wanted to break through. At the moment he turned around, he directly shot a low ball.

Valdes didn't expect Drogba to choose to shoot from outside the penalty area, and this shot was too tricky. He stretched his arms as much as possible to reach it, but he couldn't even touch the football with his fingertips.

"Oh my God!" When the shot slipped over Valdes' fingertips, Cruyff almost jumped up excitedly. The old Dutch man knew that if the ball went in, the end of Barcelona would come.

Fortunately, God did not abandon the Catalans at this time. Drogba's shot passed Valdez's fingers, but because he was too eager to shoot, it hit the side of the goal post and bounced out of the bottom line.

But this shot still shocked the Nou Camp stadium. Chelsea's attack scared the hearts of Barcelona fans so much that they jumped up and down, almost suffocating them.

Chelsea's counterattack is so efficient that a pass can directly form a shot. This is completely different from the La Liga teams' pursuit of excellence. What is efficiency? Chelsea represents efficiency!

How could Lin Yi do something that stimulates others' nerves only once? After showing his long pass skills, he played a pass that was purely based on fake moves under the eyes of his old teammate Deco.

According to Rijkaard's idea, Deco, a former teammate who is more familiar with Lin Yi, must have some experience when defending Lin Yi. At least he should be able to understand the boy's most accustomed dribbling or passing point.

But Deco himself knows that Lin Yi's breakthrough and dribbling are completely arbitrary. He may not do anything when he is face to face with you. This time, he unfortunately became a burial object.

After Drogba shot, Valdez's goal kick directly found Xavi, but the Spanish midfielder's brain didn't have time to turn around, and Makelele directly kicked the ball behind him.

These two old rivals in La Liga are familiar with each other, but obviously in terms of physique, Makelele is much stronger than Xavi, especially the French midfielder is very familiar with Xavi's every move, so this interception is very accurate and fierce.

After Makelele intercepted the ball, he passed it to Lin Yi without any pause. This reaction has now become the first instinct of almost all Chelsea players. As long as they organize an attack, they will pass the ball to that kid. It is definitely right.

Lin Yi did not live up to Makelele's trust. After receiving the pass, he pulled and tugged with his feet, making Albertini's scramble become empty talk. At the moment when Deco surrounded him, Lin Yi's reaction amazed everyone.

Lin Yi on the big screen seemed to have never raised his head, but the football under his feet seemed to have a sense. Between the two feet of this kid, it bumped and bumped, and rushed out between Deco and Albertini.

Not only the football jumped out, but also Lin Yi. Everyone seemed to see the figure of Ronaldo at the time. The way of forcibly passing through the middle of two defensive players was clever and revealed a kind of power.

It was a feeling that no one could stop. Lin Yi was such a guy. No matter how hard you put your line, I can still make a way! Either I go over, or you have to pay a certain price to stop me.

This was a beautiful pass, but Lin Yi didn't have time to pass the ball to Drogba again, because Deco had committed a foul in advance. He was willing to get a yellow card and didn't want Lin Yi to rush through so recklessly.

He knew very well the consequences of letting Lin Yi pass like this. If he didn't stop him, Valdes would be in danger.

However, Deco's deliberate foul raised the intensity of the confrontation on the court again. Chelsea's players were more fierce when they tried to steal the ball, especially when Barcelona fans booed, they would behave more crazily. This time, Chelsea's steel defense was full of thorns!

In the subsequent attack, Deco received the ball in midfield and passed it straight to the right. Eto'o dribbled the ball away from Terry, but Gala and Carvalho's closed-door double-team defense made Eto'o, the La Liga star The top scorer also did nothing.

Moreover, Cech hit the Cameroonian hard when he went out to hug the ball. Eto'o wanted to argue with Cech, but in view of the difference in height and physique between the two, he could only endure it in the end. .

The pain in Eto'o's ribs may not have gone away at all. When he broke through in front of the penalty area, he was knocked down by Carvalho's fierce tackle. This time, the Swedish referee did not attack Carvalho. Show a yellow card.

This made Eto'o and the Barcelona players very dissatisfied. They gathered around Fricks and shouted loudly. The fans expressed their protest with huge boos. Some even booed at this time. He loudly cursed Fricks' law enforcement standards, "You weakling! Are you so afraid of the British!"

This kind of protest and insult was enough for everyone to hear clearly, including Fricks. However, the Swede did not change his penalty, but in the subsequent penalty scale, this guy was obviously much stricter. Deco There was a direct pass to Eto'o because Gallas's tackle was destroyed, but Gallas's defensive action was not a foul, but Fricks warned him in a very stern tone.

And the next time Drogba broke through Marquez, the two people actually pulled each other's hands with each other, but Marquez was pulled, and Drogba was also warned by Fricks. .

Drogba originally wanted to tell the difference, but Mourinho stopped his idea on the sidelines very promptly.

Mourinho is a man who can clearly feel the changes in the referee. He knows what level of the game this is. As a referee trained by UEFA, he cannot be so weak and let the confrontation escalate on the field.

He will definitely use severe penalties to create a sense of presence and make players on both sides respect his authority as the referee.

Mourinho just stopped Drogba's judgment just to avoid unnecessary conflicts. If the Swede is angered at this time, he might do something, especially since Drogba already has a yellow card. In this case, if one is not careful, unnecessary attrition may occur, which would be more than worth the gain.

"Be careful! Pay attention to your movements when defending!" Mourinho loudly reminded his players on the sidelines. At this critical moment of the competition, he did not want any unexpected situations to occur.

But there are some things that you can't escape if you want to. In the 67th minute, Harvey made a long shot in front of the penalty area during the counterattack. The football failed to get through Cech's fingers, but Harvey shot after But there was a conflict with Lin Yi, because Lin Yi tackled him after he shot, causing the Spanish midfield commander to fall to the turf.

Harvey got up and pushed Lin Yi hard. Lin Yi was not polite. These two guys of about the same size were standing next to each other. Fricks was also polite and talked to Lin Yi and Harvey. One yellow card per person.

But the tempers of the players on both sides were a bit hot at the moment. Even if they were pulled apart, they would still look at each other angrily.

But thirty seconds later, the volcano that had been pent up for a long time completely erupted, and it was still out of control. Just after the conflict between Harvey and Lin Yi, Duff received Lin Yi's pass and passed down the right side. middle.

Marquez and Drogba competed for a header in the middle at the same time. The ball first hit Marquez's scalp and bounced to the back post. After Drogba landed, he directly shoveled the ball towards the landing spot. Valdes, who was in front of the goal, also rushed towards the football at the same time. The two guys touched the football almost at the same time.

But you can imagine the tragic ending. What kind of physique did Drogba have? When he sprinted, slid and tackled, the fierce inertia and the powerful impact could be endured by Valdez's small body. Got it?

There was no accident at all. The moment Valdes pressed his hands on the football, Drogba kicked the ball directly into the goal. The powerful impact made this unlucky guy not slow down for a long time. come over.

Injuring the opponent is not the worst thing. When Drogba had not had time to get up, Fricks's whistle had already sounded. When Mourinho saw the Swede's hand reaching for his pocket, he I know it’s bad!

For the second yellow card, Drogba looked up and saw the yellow card shown to him by the Swede. After the yellow card was shown, the Swede immediately took out the red card and signaled to Drogba to leave immediately!

"Did you see clearly! I touched the football first! You idiot!" Drogba went berserk when he saw this scene. If Robben and Duff hadn't grabbed him, he probably could have swung it. He raised his fist and hit Fricks directly in the face, but this move only made Fricks' red card rise higher.

"Hell! That's not a foul at all!" Mourinho almost rushed to the fourth official and roared, but what he got instead of good words was a cold reply.

"There is no problem with the penalty scale on the field. Mr. Mourinho, you should go back to where you belong now. Otherwise, you may also get a warning. This is the rule of the football game."

Looking at that dead face, Mourinho knew that it was useless to continue talking, but he ignored the other party's warning. Before turning around and leaving, he turned back and yelled at Fricks, "You stupid guy!"

"Damn it!" Mourinho didn't care about the other party's reaction, even if it was a red card. Now he just muttered this sentence.

Damn it, is it the game? Or the red card?
