Midfielder

Arrogant and arrogant, it is probably not an exaggeration to use these words to describe Mourinho's behavior. Maybe he was like this before, but this time his approach was more direct.

Because the starting lineup Mourinho arranged now is simply a slap in the face of all Catalans, and it is face to face, without mercy, and slapping their faces with all his strength.

If Lin Yi used the championship trophy to stimulate the hearts of Barcelona fans during the warm-up just now, then when this starting list was placed in front of everyone, the Catalans were completely angry. They felt that they were severely despised by that old acquaintance.

Many Barcelona fans in the stands behind Chelsea have thrown their drinks over. While throwing debris, they angrily cursed Mourinho, "You idiot! Do you think you can get away from Camp Nou with such a lineup!"

"You will see what kind of punishment you will get for despising the great Barcelona team! Idiot!"

Even Real Madrid has probably never received such courtesy, but Mourinho did it today.

Only this guy can have such crazy courage to be enemies with all Barcelona fans.

But in such a noisy environment, Mourinho can be as steady as a mountain and ignore it.

He didn't even look at the beverage bottles and debris that hit the Chelsea bench, and he was in the mood to protest to the fourth official, but looking at this guy's expression, he didn't care at all.

"It's not the first time he has encountered such a scene, he has long been used to it." Brito now looks at Mourinho's look, and he is a little relieved. If he doesn't do this, he may not be him.

However, Mourinho's tactical arrangement has indeed made many people uncomfortable and even confused.

What is he doing? Not using his absolute main force? Is this Mourinho's choice? Does he think he can beat Barcelona without going all out? What an arrogant guy!

Even the host responsible for the on-site commentary was a little stunned when he saw the list, because he didn't expect Mourinho to play such a trick at Camp Nou. Is this guy provoking everyone?

Not only was the on-site commentary stunned, but now even the reporters on the sidelines were confused, including those English reporters who didn't know how to evaluate this lineup. Are they really despising it?

Chelsea is very strong now, but they have not yet reached the state where they can despise everyone.

Even in the most optimistic analysis of those English reporters before the game, the two confrontations were just a 50-50 wave. After all, Barcelona is also in a hot state now, and Chelsea cannot complete a home and away double kill.

Maybe, like last season, the most correct tactic is to delay the opponent as much as possible on the road and then solve the problem at home. However, with such a lineup, Mourinho is too arrogant.

Lin Yi's absence was unexpected enough, but Mourinho didn't seem to take it seriously at all, because he not only didn't let Lin Yi enter the starting lineup, but Robben didn't enter the starting lineup. Although both of them were on the bench, substitutes and starters are obviously two different things.

Even if they can play at any time, it will definitely be bad if their momentum is suppressed by the opponent.

At that time, even if Lin Yi has superhuman ability, he can't save the situation by himself.

Doesn't Mourinho know such a simple truth? What is he thinking at this moment?

Including those reporters who are familiar with Mourinho and Chelsea, they are a little confused this time, because they can't guess what Mourinho is going to do. After all, Lin Yi's ability is there, and there is no replacement at all.

If there is no interference from injuries, Lin Yi has always been Chelsea's first choice for attack. This has been the case since last season. Everyone is used to him starting, and everyone is counting on him to shine in this game.

After all, no matter how much this confrontation is hyped before the game, the duel between Ronaldinho and Lin Yi is always the focus of the entire game, and many people are waiting to see the top two World Footballers of the Year collide.

It is also good for all the previous rumors about the selection to be verified, and it can be distinguished who is stronger. Many Chelsea fans are also waiting to see how Lin Yi will defeat the bucktoothed man.

But Mourinho unexpectedly threw Lin Yi to the bench, and looking at the expressions of these two guys, it seems that they have been prepared for such an arrangement for a long time, and there is no expression at all. Even Lin Yi is in the mood to joke with Robben next to him. All this seems too weird!

You know, usually this kid will feel uncomfortable if he can't play a game.

But for such a big scene, he actually sat quietly and watched from the sidelines without any depression?

All of this reveals a bit of weirdness. Some people even speculated that Lin Yi had a conflict with Mourinho, so he was hidden. Could it be that Chelsea had an internal conflict?

But this idea was denied by most people. If he was hidden, Lin Yi would not have this expression.

And Mourinho just turned around and said something to Lin Yi, so it doesn't look like an internal conflict.

But letting their main players sit on the sidelines is indeed a bit difficult for many people to adapt to.

However, in addition to being shocked, both Rijkaard and the media reporters were studying Chelsea's starting lineup. He really wanted to take a good look at what Mourinho was going to do!

Chelsea's starting lineup, the goalkeeper is still the stable Cech as usual, and the central defenders in front of him are still Carvalho and Terry, which is not much different from the two games last season.

Mourinho used Bosingwa and Ashley Cole as the two full-backs respectively. Ferreira's recent state is very bad. It can be seen that Mourinho will not take risks easily in this game, so he chose the more stable Bosingwa. It seems that the assists of these two full-backs will not be too many.

Lin Yi and Robben are missing in the midfield, but Gerrard and Lampard are still there, but Mourinho replaced Robben with Maniche on the wing this time, and the midfielder is still Makelele, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gerrard's position is also closer to Makelele, which can form a double midfielder.

Although Lampard and Gerrard are still in the starting lineup, no one knows how much explosive power these two cannons can produce without the support of Lin Yi. At least the firepower will definitely be weakened.

Duff on the right side is in the starting lineup, but without the impact of Robben, can Duff break through the blockade of Barcelona? Maybe even the English media that have always supported Chelsea are not optimistic this time. They don’t understand what Mourinho is doing now.

Lin Yi is not on the field, and the two wings that usually work are also abandoned this time? What is left for Chelsea?

Mourinho rarely arranged two strikers on the forward line this time, but without the support of Lin Yi in the midfield, can Anelka and Drogba kill Barcelona alone? Even if the opponent is stronger in offense than defense, such an offensive lineup really can’t reassure Chelsea fans.

The double striker combination of Anelka and Drogba also needs to rely on midfield support. After playing for half a season, is it possible to let Lampard do the work of midfield organization again? Are you kidding me?

It's not that Lampard is ineffective, but compared with his organizational ability, his shooting is more reliable.

But Mourinho was standing on the sidelines and whispering to Terry and Lampard, not paying attention to the surrounding broadcast cameras and the fans' eyes that had already been locked on him. Maybe for him, such a change seemed to have been in his plan for a long time, and there was nothing strange about it.

As for how others react, that's their business, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care.

And the Chelsea players didn't seem to be surprised. Everything was prepared step by step. Although the boos and curses from the stands were more fierce than when they were warming up, it seemed that these animals were not affected by the away game.

As for the fierce shouts and boos from the stands, including curses, these animals can automatically filter them.

Anyway, everyone knows that these Catalans don't like Chelsea, and can even be said to hate it.

However, many English media are now a little panicked, especially Sky TV, which is responsible for broadcasting the game. Lineker and veteran commentator Andy Gray, who were sitting in their guest seats, were confused at the moment. This was the first time they did not see Lin Yi in an important game.

"Andy, what do you think of Chelsea's starting lineup? Anyway, my mind is very confused now. I don't know what Mourinho is thinking, but putting Lin Yi on the bench, no matter what tactical considerations he is making, I think this is a very puzzling move."

Lineker has recently become Lin Yi's biggest supporter, and seeing Lin Yi absent from such an important match, in addition to being a little surprised, there is also a little disappointment, and more confusion.

After all, with this kid's game, people can always see miracles happen. Watching that kid play football is simply a kind of enjoyment, but in this crucial match, Lin Yi unexpectedly did not play!

Andy Gray was also a little stunned. Usually, this guy is the best at talking, but now he can only look at the list in silence. After a pause of a few seconds, he can only bite the bullet and respond to this question, "Maybe, uh, maybe Chelsea is considering defense."

It is estimated that this is the only reason that can explain why Mourinho does not use Lin Yi and Robben. You know, these two guys have always been the main force of Chelsea's offense in the game against Barcelona last season. Without their desperate impact, they may not win the game at all.

Everyone knows that Lin Yi is the brain of Chelsea. How can they play without a brain this time?

Although Chelsea's starting lineup is also luxurious now, it is like a dish that lacks a little important seasoning. Chelsea without Lin Yi will always lack a little feeling. Now, except for saying that Chelsea wants to rely on defense to score points away from home, there is really no other reason to say.

But want to rely on defense to score points in front of the top attacking force in Europe? If someone else had such a naive idea, it would be understandable, but Mourinho is a madman who won five championships last season.

Would he make such a common sense mistake? Or is this guy really eager to get points away from home?

Is it really like what those Spanish reporters said? Mourinho is now a person who can't afford to lose?

In order to ensure that your team can advance, even if you give up the offense, do you still have to save a point in the away game?

"Perhaps Mourinho believes that Chelsea should not fight against each other on the road. After all, this is an away game. Maybe zero-0 is an acceptable result for him. After all, Chelsea has not lost at Stamford Bridge this season. It is also an option to deal with the opponent when we return to the home court.”

Andy Gray could only interpret Mourinho's tactical arrangements in this way. He said this in a more subtle way. If he had followed his usual style, he might have directly rebuked that timid guy. I was just afraid of losing in the away game, so I chose such a wretched tactic!

Double midfielders, no wing attack! What can we do even with two strikers? Do you rely on Drogba and Anelka to drop into the midfield to help you defend? Then this is really an unconventional tactical choice!

But this tactic of shrinking back and defending has gone against Chelsea's recent offensive style of play!

What an idiotic decision to change your usual habits before the war begins! However, as England's commentators, Andy Gray and Lineker cannot switch sides before the game starts, but such a conservative tactical arrangement may make Mourinho pay the price.

Unlike the confusion of the English, when Tenkat saw Chelsea's starting lineup, he already had a look of contempt and disdain on his face, "That guy just wants to score points here with defense, just like last season, he kept a draw on the road. Then wait for them to come back to London and deal with us at Stamford Bridge."

Although Tencart's tone already revealed a kind of contempt, what he said represents the general view of the Catalans, because Chelsea's lineup does not look like they are preparing to win away from home. The defensive midfielder plus four defenders, and even the wing midfielders may have to participate in defense.

If this lineup is not intended to keep a tie on the road, then there really is no explanation.

As Tencart said, Mourinho clearly intends to stick to Camp Nou by doing this.

It's just that Rijkaard is still a little apprehensive when he looks at Chelsea's substitute lineup.

After all, Robben and Lin Yi are sitting off the court, and they may not know when they will run up. Rijkaard also needs to consider this potential fatal threat, but before going on the court, Rijkaard still has a clear understanding of all the players. The team members said, "This is our home court, here, kill them!"

Although "Black Swan" is a very rational person, under Mourinho's instigation, a kind of neglected or even contemptuous emotion slowly grew up invisibly, which is very easy to make people angry.

There is nothing to say. Since the opponent chooses to defend, Barcelona will use offense to defeat the opponent. This is the character of the Catalans. Facing any team, they will attack with all their might. Do you want to defend? Let’s see if you still have the good luck to keep a tie this season!

Barcelona can be said to be full of elites. Goalkeeper Valdez, defender Oleg, Marcos, Puyol, Sylvinho, and Rijkaard threw all the guys who could play.

The midfielder is Xavi, Iniesta and Deco. This midfield combination is for full attack.

The air defense capabilities of the three little men are not strong enough, but when it comes to footwork, they are definitely strong enough.

This lineup arrangement is to break through dense defense. The interweaving and organizational skills of the three of them are enough to ensure that Barcelona's midfielder can play a genius offense. This is simply a three-core.

Originally, Rijkaard wanted Motta and Edmilson to start, but in the end the idea of ​​scoring points at home prevailed. If Barcelona plays too steadily at home, the fans may not agree, so they are weighing After much discussion, Rijkaard finally chose this midfield combination.

On the front line, Ronaldinho and Eto'o are the regular candidates who must start. However, when it comes to the choice of the third attacker, Rijkaard finally let the young Messi enter the starting lineup, while Larsson He was sitting on the bench. Between experience and impact, the young Messi had the upper hand.

"Use your breakthrough ability to cause trouble for the opponent. Don't worry about mistakes. What we want is to score goals. This is your first trip to the Champions League. Enjoy every minute of the game at Camp Nou."

Rijkaard also gave full recognition to this Argentinian boy who has emerged.

Although he cannot be expected to carry Barcelona's offense alone, his presence will definitely bring something different to the team's offensive line. I hope this kid can be like that crazy Lin Yi.

Let yourself land in the Champions League for the first time and bring the good luck of the championship to Barcelona. May everything come true.

Attack, attack! Let those British guys know how awesome we are! This kind of wild shouting almost ignited the entire Camp Nou stadium, especially the moment when the Barcelona players came out of the tunnel, the Catalan people’s crazy shouting made everyone feel a surge of blood. move.

In the face of such a crazy atmosphere, Chelsea seemed very quiet. From the players on the field to the substitutes off the field, including Mourinho, everyone was watching all this calmly.

Go crazy, make your anger even crazier, only those who lose their cool will be plotted.

Mourinho needs the "black swan" who has always been very wise to become more wild.

And now what awaits the Catalans is a large net that has been slowly spread out. . .
