Midfielder

At the end of the first half, the shots were 13 to 5, twice as many as the opponent, and the ball possession rate was 70%, also twice as many as the opponent. Looking at this comparison, Rijkaard's team has almost controlled the game.

Although they failed to score, many Barcelona fans thought that it was just a matter of time. As long as they continued to put pressure on them, they would be able to break through even the tight defense.

"The red and blue flags fluttered in the wind, and the shouting was earth-shaking. We have a name that is awe-inspiring, Barcelona! Barcelona! Barcelona!" This song also represents their excitement at the moment.

Offensive football is the obsession of the Catalans. As long as they are still playing football, the idea of ​​attacking to the end will always flow in their blood. This is a fact that no one can change.

Barcelona's crazy attack in the first half almost made these fans shout hoarse, but they had no regrets, as if only such a roar could allow them to release pressure and shock their opponents at the same time.

As for the expressions of those Chelsea fans at this moment, they don't care. These Catalans want to use such songs to warn their opponents not to expect to take victory away from the Camp Nou!

This is our territory. Just like the first half of the game, we will always take the initiative!

You can only passively defend in the half court and wait for us to score! Can't you defend? Let's see how long you can hold on! Barcelona's attack will drown you hateful British guys like a tide! Wait, you can only leave Barcelona with failure!

Although the singing of Chelsea fans has not stopped, compared with the opponent, their shouts and songs have more worries and less of their usual boldness. This game really makes them a little worried.

Although Chelsea also counterattacked in the first half, compared with the opponent's attack, it was just a sporadic counterattack, which could not create too much threat to the opponent. Instead, their goal has always seemed precarious.

This is the most passive game Chelsea has played this year. Chelsea fans don't want their previous winning streak to be broken by Barcelona. They can lose, but they can't lose to these people.

But now it seems that Chelsea's situation is not optimistic. I hope there will be some changes in the second half.

Every Chelsea fan has a little more uneasiness in their hearts, and more people are praying for the team.

Including those diehard fans far away in London, they hope to see Chelsea's fierce attack.

"Rijkaard's tactics have basically been effective. They only lack goals, but after a half-time war of attrition, Chelsea will definitely have a lot of physical consumption."

"If this consumption continues to the last ten minutes, they will be confused by Barcelona's passes. The team that dominates the game by passing and breaking through will always be more active than the defending side."

The two commentators responsible for the Spanish broadcast commented on everything that might happen in the second half from time to time during the halftime, but according to their experience, Chelsea will have a hard time playing in the second half.

Although their counterattack in the front and midfield did cause Barcelona a lot of trouble, this trouble will not change Barcelona's initiative to control the game. As long as they have the ball, Barcelona has the possibility of scoring, and always passively defending like this will indeed consume a lot of physical strength and energy.

Chelsea's defense may be the best in the whole of Europe today, but this does not mean that they will not make mistakes. There will always be accidents in football games, and the defending side is always the most passive.

If Barcelona continues to attack like this, there will be fatal loopholes in the solid defense.

Just like the few attacks in the opening stage, Chelsea was not in a hurry, but it was also quite embarrassed. If there were a few more penetrations and interspersed in the second half, the goal might appear.

Even Lineker and Andy Gray looked a little worried in the broadcast booth. After all, after Manchester United's failure, only Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League have the opportunity to impact the Champions League this time.

Although Everton's performance is not bad, it is basically a soy sauce, without much potential.

As English people, they always hope that the championship trophy can stay in their home country. Many English people even hope that if Chelsea can successfully defend the title, maybe they can really return to the glorious 1980s.

You know, the European arena at that time belonged to the English. From Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, to Aston Villa, they almost won all the championship cups from 1977 to 1984.

In the middle, Hamburg team picked up a loophole. At that time, English teams did not sweep Europe, but they were almost there, especially Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, which almost made the whole of Europe begin to fear red.

If that accident had not happened, perhaps the glory of English teams would continue in the 1980s. Although it is impossible to sweep so many times now, Chelsea has the ability to defend the title.

Even if it can't win three consecutive championships, at least it can let the European giants know how fierce the Premier League teams are now. If it can successfully defend the title, it can also make the Premier League earn enough face.

After all, no one has been able to do this after the reform, but today's Chelsea team is a bit passive.

What the hell are those commentators in charge of the Spanish broadcast talking about? Lineker and Andy Gray are now expecting Mourinho to make some adjustments, otherwise the game cannot be played.

"Defending is definitely very dangerous. If we keep holding on to the opponent's attack, Chelsea's goal will be breached at any time. Mourinho must make adjustments now, otherwise he will only face failure. There is no team that can defend to the end at Camp Nou."

Andy Gray's words are a bit absolute. After all, there are still one or two La Liga teams that have escaped from Camp Nou unscathed this season, but if compared with Barcelona's offensive momentum at that time, it is definitely not as fierce as it is now.

If they plan to hold on to the end, either Chelsea will have someone sent off, or the scene will be extremely ugly.

Mourinho will definitely not care about ugly or beautiful things, but the two yellow cards in the first half were given to Ashley Cole and Makelele respectively. If they were sent off, it would definitely be a very big trouble.

All the speculations continued. After all, they could not enter the locker room and could not see what was happening inside. Only the substitutes of the two teams were still warming up, but Lin Yi and Robben seemed to have disappeared.

No one noticed where the two guys ran to, but Lineker still missed some details. There were other people sitting on the bench of the Chelsea team, and he also disappeared with Lin Yi.

When the midfield time of more than ten minutes was left to the commentator and the fans on the scene, the head coaches of the two teams made tactical arrangements in the locker room, but Rijkaard's side was relatively simple.

After all, Barcelona had the advantage in the first half, and it was not terrible not to score. Rijkaard firmly believed that if he continued to play in this way, he would sooner or later find loopholes that could be exploited in Chelsea's defense.

"Messi can be more resolute in cutting in on the wing. Ashley Cole now has a yellow card. If the opponent does not make a substitution, the defensive quality of this wing will definitely be worse than in the first half."

After watching Messi's breakthrough in the first half, Rijkaard now wants to give him more freedom, especially to tear a gap from the wing. This Argentine little guy should be able to do this task.

"Eto'o, you should retreat more, so that the opponent's central defender can be involved, and you can also have more breakthrough opportunities and shooting space. You can't take advantage in the penalty area."

Rijkaard has no special requirements for his main center forward, but it is not realistic to let him take on Drogba's task. It is better to let him retreat deeper from the penalty area to make room.

The midfield and Ronaldinho can make more use of Eto'o's retreat, so that the layered attack can better put pressure on the opponent's defense. As for scoring, we can only wait for opportunities.

"Don't worry, just follow the arrangement of the first half. This is our home court. We control the situation on the field. Don't give them too many counterattack opportunities. Goals will definitely appear!"

Rijkaard is not the kind of coach who can mobilize everyone's emotions with words, but his calmness can calm his players and make them smarter on the court. Since everyone did a good job in the first half, Rijkaard did not plan to make substitutions, but he was also prepared.

If Barcelona still failed to score after 30 minutes of the second half, he would make adjustments, but the tactical idea of ​​attack would not change, as only attack could win the game.

Barcelona was calm, but if Rijkaard had installed a voyeuristic camera in Chelsea's locker room at this time, he would have opened his mouth and widened his eyes, because it was even calmer here than Barcelona. Those animals who were cursing on the field just now were still in the mood to laugh, and Mourinho did not turn on his hair dryer, and there was no desperate roar.

Quiet and peaceful, if this was after the end of a normal training session, it might be normal, but if it was during the halftime of a focus battle, you would feel why the atmosphere was so weird.

Although many people saw Mourinho enter the locker room with a calm face, many people were maliciously speculating whether this guy would learn from Ferguson's roar and start cursing behind closed doors.

But it was obvious that these guys had guessed wrong. When these Chelsea guys returned to the player tunnel, they all had gloomy expressions on their faces, but when they closed the door of the locker room, these expressions had long been swept away.

Mourinho entered the locker room and didn't say anything in the first ten minutes. He just asked these guys to adjust their physical condition and asked Faria and the team doctor to help them with muscle relaxation treatment. It seemed that the pressure on the sidelines just now disappeared as soon as they entered the locker room. No one was nervous.

"Okay, we were just beaten by Barcelona in the half for 45 minutes. This has been seen by tens of millions of fans. Conservatively estimated, at least 70% of people now think we will lose."

"Including our diehard fans, all the data tell them that in the second half of the 45 minutes, the opponent will continue to press us until they break the goal."

When Mourinho spoke, the locker room became silent and everyone stared at him.

"All I can say now is congratulations to Barcelona, ​​because they have used all their offensive firepower. I don't care what adjustments they will make in the second half, but the remaining 45 minutes will be dominated by us, Chelsea. It is no longer important whether this is the Camp Nou. What is important is that we will let everyone see the most exciting scene. Don't think that Chelsea can only rely on defense."

"OK, now let us put the prepared feast on the table. I think the next forty-five minutes should be enough for our opponents to taste the feedback from Chelsea."

Chelsea's bunch of animals held on for half the game, waiting for this moment. Everyone was very excited.

"Maniche, you stayed on the wing for a long time and did a good job, but the task in the second half should be given to Robben." Maniche has no objection to Mourinho's arrangement, and this has been agreed upon long ago. of.

And the desperate Saburo did a good job in the first half, thanks to his retreat on the left to help defend.

"Makélélé is off the field, Lin is on the wing, and Gerrard is the defensive midfielder. You must pay attention to the penetration of the opponent's midfield, but in the second half I think Barcelona's counterattack will not be as sharp as it was in the first half."

"Ribery, you replace Duff. This is your first Champions League experience. I hope that after this game, you can use your own feet to let everyone know your existence. You will be my secret weapon. "

Newcomer? A newcomer who has never even played in the Premier League? If other people see Mourinho's tactical adjustments at this moment, they will definitely say that this guy is crazy. He will use a novice who has never even played in a big game in such an important game. Does he really think that he is crazy? Can everyone transform into Lin Yi?

But no one in the entire Chelsea team expressed any objection. This is not only their absolute obedience to Mourinho, but also because these guys know how long they have been preparing this tactic. They have dug this big hole for Barcelona, ​​but just wait. They were trying to bury people, and Chelsea's adjustments were designed to catch their opponents off guard. These animals even couldn't wait to go out and see the expressions of their opponents.

The newbie with a deep scar on his face could feel his calves shaking at this moment.

He didn't know from which day Mourinho specially arranged for Faria to open a small stove for him alone.

And after Mourinho laid this trap, everyone gave him enough support.

Including Lin Yi's absolute midfield brain, he is always looking for the right step to get along with himself in training and additional training every day. For a newcomer worth only a few million, he can feel a bit flattered. , but those animals in the Chelsea team thought that this was what they should do.

Everyone knows how fierce the competition within the Chelsea team is, but many head coaches envy not only Chelsea's solid lineup, but also the cohesion within the Chelsea team.

As long as Mourinho assigns a task, everyone must risk their lives and no one will raise objections.

This is a kind of habitual obedience. Likewise, Lin Yi's gang of animals will turn this obedience into victory.

When the Chelsea guys walked out of the locker room, Ribery was patted on the shoulder by the midfielder who was smaller than himself, "Don't worry, don't be nervous, wait for me to pass the ball to you."

Maybe even Brito would be worried about whether the newbie can show his due strength when he comes on the field, but Mourinho has never worried about this. "With that kid around, anyone can integrate into the team."

It is precisely because of Lin Yi that Mourinho dares to play like this. This is not arrogance. This is Mourinho's absolute confidence in the madman he taught. That kid will definitely make everyone Everyone is amazed by Chelsea. Even if this is Camp Nou, he will tear the opponent to pieces.

Changing three people at a time, maybe this kind of desperate tactic can only be done by a lunatic like Mourinho. He has no intention of leaving any escape route for himself. Now that he is here, he will leave with victory.

When everyone saw Chelsea's tactical adjustments and substitutions, just as the animals thought, everyone was stunned, including Rijkaard, who was currently standing on the sidelines. He had already keenly sensed the danger. , but Mourinho acted much faster than him and seemed so decisive.

Lineker and Andy Gray didn't even know the name of the guy who replaced Duff, "Ribery? Who is this guy? When did Chelsea have such a scarface?"

"Hell, the new player is a Frenchman. He was the last player Chelsea bought during the winter transfer period, but there is nothing surprising about his resume. Could this be Mourinho's tactical choice? ? Let a newbie who has never played in the Champions League serve as a secret weapon? "

Andy Gray didn't know what to say at this time. He really wanted to admire Mourinho's courage in person, because this guy now looked more like a gambler than a head coach.

"Maybe there is something wrong with Duff's condition, but compared to the newcomer, Lin Yi and Robben are both on the field. Maybe Mourinho is already ready to attack. Well, I hope so."

Lineker couldn't figure out Mourinho's thoughts, but when he saw Lin Yi and Robben playing, he finally understood Mourinho's tactics. At least these two people represented Chelsea's counterattack. It started, and it was obvious that after being suppressed in the first half, Mourinho was about to start a counterattack.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines for the first time at this moment. He did not speak, but he raised his right index finger and pointed at the Barcelona goal, and his eyes were staring at Lin Yi at the moment.

The little lunatic, who represented danger in Rijkaard's eyes, gave Mourinho a thumbs up, as if telling the teacher who had been teaching him, from this moment on, look at me!

The knife that had been hidden for forty-five minutes has been polished. . .
