Midfielder

The finalization of the Champions League quarter-finals made Chelsea seem very contented. Compared with the active preparations of other teams, these animals performed very relaxedly in the league, especially when the League Cup final was approaching, they even started to Most of Xue Zang's main players are recovering from injuries and making adjustments.

But they do have such confidence. Even if a team of Fulham's level encounters the Chelsea team led by Cassano and Ribery, they will still be unable to parry. This is not a confrontation at the same level at all. Mourinho didn't even stand on the sidelines to direct during this game.

This was not an arrogance to look down on the opponent, but the situation on the field was not worthy of him standing on the sidelines and roaring. Less than half an hour into the first half, Ribery passed a pass to Crespo from the wing. With a beautiful low ball, the Argentine center shot in front of the goal and opened the situation.

Through the game, you can discover the opposition of the players. Mourinho is very respectful to this sentence.

Because the initial positioning of many players is not necessarily very accurate, and Ribery's game allowed him to see this guy's ability to play both sides of the frontcourt. He frequently crossed between the two wings.

Although Robben did not play in this game, with Duff involved on the wing, Ribery's interposition in the frontcourt played a fatal threat, not only creating two opportunities for Crespo to grab the ball in front of the goal The opportunity to score points was after a one-two with Cassano, and he broke into the opponent's penalty area alone.

In one-on-one battles, although Ribery has just started to make his debut in the Premier League, after experiencing the baptism of the Champions League, this guy's personal ability has indeed improved qualitatively, especially in offense, whether he is singled out against goalkeepers or defenders. Or long-range shots from the outside can pose a very direct threat to the goal.

"This five million deal may be the most affordable deal after buying Lin Yi."

When a player performs well, this kind of praise will never be stingy, and if you can get such a versatile player in the frontcourt for five million, this deal is indeed a good deal.

Even Mourinho, a guy who easily refuses to praise others, said, "It seems that limiting him to the wing is a bit wasteful. You can consider letting him be like Lin Yi in the frontcourt."

However, although Ribery's performance is very eye-catching, everyone knows that in Mourinho's heart, the core of the main force is still the apprentice he brought out personally. As long as he is around, everyone will be second.

After being beaten 0-2, Fulham no longer had the energy to compete with Chelsea.

Although they now need more points to get into the top six of the list, not everyone can handle such a difficult technical task, let alone them.

At the end of the game, the score was 3-0. It was also due to Chelsea's new lineup not being adjusted in place. Otherwise, in order to let more players get familiar with the atmosphere of the game, Mourinho might have made the score more fierce, but for the current situation As far as Chelsea is concerned, goal difference and so on are already in vain.

Although they lost a game before, Manchester United did not seize the opportunity. The result of a draw could only allow them to catch up to one point in the standings. Chelsea still dominated the standings. Their lead has stopped other teams from pursuing points.

"When Chelsea began to turn their attention to the Champions League, it already meant that the competition for the Premier League was about to end. Their front-running tactics this season have disrupted the rhythm of too many competitors. They not only lost The league championship has kept Chelsea leading the way.”

Although this report from The Times is a bit of a map-shooting, there is nothing wrong with what it says. Mourinho’s desperate efforts to score points since the beginning of the season has indeed disrupted the rhythm of many teams. Wait until those When competitors began to speed up passively, Chelsea began to play sniper again.

The opponent surrendered in several consecutive peak confrontations. This not only damaged the opponent's morale, but also widened the gap between the competitors at the most critical time to grab points. This lead did not become a burden for Chelsea, but instead The advantage of this group of animals in the standings becomes more and more prominent.

Perhaps old foxes like Ferguson and Wenger are now considering whether they have to adjust their league tactics starting from next season. If Chelsea continues to engage in this kind of point-grabbing battle, it cannot be defeated from the beginning. The other party leads you by the nose, at least you have to keep up with the other party's steps.

But that is already next season. Chelsea’s double-digit lead now allows them to do many things, such as competing with Tottenham Hotspur for the League Cup. It is an asymmetrical game. The London derby, the fans at White Hart Lane must be very melancholy now.

The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, is definitely not a blessed place for Tottenham Hotspur, but for Chelsea, who had already plundered the League Cup once last season, this is just a return visit, and it is the most melancholy for Tottenham. The problem is that Mourinho is not willing to release the main lineup this time.

In the league, less than half of the opponent's main players came on the field and they were already defeated. Now that all the main players are on the field, thinking about this problem makes people feel headaches, especially looking at the player who has been hidden in three official games by Mourinho. Little lunatic, when he was warming up, he had a smile on his face.

Lin Yi's smile and Mourinho's frown have become Chelsea's standard killers. As long as the little lunatic has a ghostly smile on his face, or Mourinho frowns on the sidelines, their opponents are doomed.

This has become a rule in Chelsea's games this season, so when Tottenham fans saw Lin Yi's unusually bright smile, their hearts tightened into a ball. They really don't want this game to become a one-sided massacre, at least let them see a fair match!

But looking at Lampard, Gerrard, Lin Yi, Cassano, Robben, Drogba, these animals are ready to fight, can you still have more extravagant hopes? Although Tottenham Hotspur has already put out its strongest lineup, it seems a bit shabby in comparison.

But it is true. Although Tottenham also has Jenas, Carrick, Defoe and Robbie Keane, any player from Chelsea's main lineup will be worth a lot more than Tottenham. This is not just envy, jealousy or hatred.

Football matches are not simply about comparing data and value. Although this sentence is correct, sometimes this gap can really kill all possible or potential upsets. Moreover, with Lin Yi, a little madman, on the field, Tottenham really has no extravagant hopes. They can only hope that their opponents will not be so crazy.

But in a cup final, Tottenham has adjusted the players' state to a very good level, but the control of the game has never been in their hands. Lin Yi did not get too close to the goal this time, but he retreated to the midfield, which is equivalent to adding a control point in the midfield.

The ball is at my feet, and I have the midfield. Only Lin Yi dares to say this. The order received by Jenas and Carrick is to strangle Lin Yi, but Lin Yi who retreated to the midfield is a weird loach. Want to catch him? Unless you smash his kneecap with two baseball bats.

Chelsea didn't try to test Spurs at the beginning. They were like tanks, crushing them directly and hitting Spurs with a club. Not to mention that they were beaten black and blue, they also made them realize that they should not play any offensive tricks against Chelsea.

The strength and weakness of this competition is the most obvious. Robben used a 45-degree cross from the wing twice to test the opponent's back line. Dawson, who has just established a foothold in Spurs, this young central defender who may have the opportunity to enter the national team in the future, has been continuously subjected to fierce attacks from Drogba.

The African elephant is a center forward who is a little active at the feet, but also has a good impact in front of the goal. He not only has a strong body, but also can make many defenders headache with his ability to judge the landing point. After the baptism of Lin Yi and Robben's passing, his ability to grab points has become more and more powerful.

Dawson is a talent that can be cultivated. Mourinho also expressed his understanding of this point. Otherwise, he would not have let Kenyon try to contact him when the winter transfer window opened. Although he failed to do so in the end, Mourinho's selection of him already means that this guy's ability is indeed good.

But if Dawson wants to challenge Drogba now, it is indeed a bit difficult. Moreover, the guys who passed the ball to the African elephant are all standard masters. The ball was definitely passed with great care, which would definitely make the defensive players look melancholy. Robben's two 45-degree crosses were so difficult.

The speed was fast, the arc was large, and it was very close to the goal, but the goalkeeper did not dare to attack and pick up the ball easily. It can be said that when Drogba rushed up, Dawson could only block the position behind him, and he could not even get the treatment of a parallel header. If Drogba had not pursued the angle, these two times would have been fatal threats.

Even so, the fans in the stands were shocked. Both headers barely hit the crossbar and flew out. Goalkeeper Robinson's blocking angles were not thorough enough. If the header was a little more accurate, the ball might have gone in. Such pressure has been permeating the Tottenham team from the beginning.

What is a dark cloud covering the sky? When Drogba attacked, it felt like this. If these two headers had made the opponent tremble with fear, then Lin Yi's sudden insertion from the midfield was like a sharp knife that was already against the throat of Tottenham, easily piercing the defense that was not thick to begin with.

Carrick and Jenas' defense is not top-notch, but they are also first-class players in the Premier League, especially Carrick. It was heard that Manchester United was interested in introducing him during the winter transfer period. Although the deal was not finally made, it might become a reality when the summer transfer window opens.

Those who can be favored by Manchester United must have good abilities, but can Carrick deal with Lin Yi, who even Keane couldn't keep a close eye on? The answer must be no, so the Spurs fans, who had been at peace for less than two minutes, watched with wide eyes as Lin Yi started in the midfield and used a fake move to get past Carrick.

It was a rare wing breakthrough for Spurs. Korean player Lee Young-jok tried to take on Bosingwa on the wing. In fact, this guy had dribbled past the opponent by more than half a body length. But was Chelsea's defense so easy to break? Carvalho in the middle had already filled in the position one step earlier and directly kicked the ball away.

With Bosingwa chasing and Carvalho filling in, a Korean who has just gained some fame can't do anything earth-shattering. This is a defense without suspense. There is not even any physical contact. It is just a very clean tackle, which just knocks the opponent out of the baseline.

Although Bosingwa's pass directly found Gerrard, who played as a defensive midfielder in this game, facing the pressing, Gerrard did not stick to the ball, but pulled and dragged it, and directly stuffed the ball to Lin Yi who had already started. Then he watched Lin Yi catch the ball, and then he did not touch the ball, and directly missed the ball, and then turned around to chase.

This realistic receiving action made Carrick hesitate for a moment, maybe only one or two seconds, but for Lin Yi, it was enough. His turning back made Carrick a background. Jenas didn't react and watched Lin Yi flick his instep and pass by him purely by explosive power.

After two consecutive passes, the Tottenham midfield defense collapsed instantly. The central interception that seemed to be impregnable before was completely lost by Lin Yi's disruption. This made Makelele, who was on the sidelines as a substitute, scratch his head. He was played by Lin Yi in this way a day ago.

"That beast!" Makelele gritted his teeth and said, but as Chelsea's defensive players, most of them are now used to it. Who hasn't been ravaged by Lin Yi, the little lunatic? Gerrard has recently played as a defensive midfielder and has often been attacked by Lin Yi. Now these guys have almost accepted their fate.

You really can't argue with a beast or a little lunatic, otherwise you will definitely get hurt. This is a saying circulating in the Chelsea team. The Tottenham team must not know it, but now Carrick and Jenas are very injured. They can't think of any other way except to run away and chase.

But Faria said that after two years of intensive training, Lin Yi's starting speed within 15 meters is not the best, but his starting speed can definitely kill ordinary people in seconds, especially in the first ten meters, he can also accelerate, which is the most fatal. It doesn't matter if he is slow in the 100 meters.

After all, this is not a 100-meter race. On the football field, as long as there is a distance of one or two meters, you can create a lot of threats. No one will be stupid enough to fight the opponent for the whole time. Who can give you a chance to run a 100-meter race in a formal game? So Lin Yi's explosive power has determined that he can win space in the early stage.

Moreover, this kid's fake moves really made many defensive players very melancholy. Ledley King can only bite the bullet now, but when Lin Yi approached him and tried to encircle the two guys behind him, he had already poked the football out from between the opponent's legs with his toes.

In the penalty area of ​​​​Spurs, only Dawson was left to challenge Drogba, and Drogba had already blocked the position. This guy was too familiar with Lin Yi's pass, so he prepared early, and Dawson failed to make a judgment in advance, which gave Drogba sufficient space to shoot in the penalty area.

Falling to the ground, prone shooting, although Dawson had been pulling Drogba desperately and even prepared to foul, Drogba's strength was not something he could handle with his hands. The African elephant's recent shooting footwork has also changed from overbearing to a bit weird. This foot lying on the ground can be said to be very tricky.

It was a completely diagonal shooting route, which made Robinson, who had rushed out to block the angle, very depressed. He originally bet that Drogba would choose the near corner, but the opponent played such a difficult prone shot. He could only fall on the grass and watch the damn football pass in front of his fingertips.

Less than fifteen minutes into the game, Chelsea had already completed the task of scoring. The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was filled with the carnival of Chelsea fans, and the fans of Tottenham could only accept this result. Although they had known that this might be the outcome, the depressed mood continued to ferment.

Not only the fans were depressed, but the Tottenham team was also depressed. They were already focused enough, but the ending was still the same, and they only resisted for more than ten minutes. Drogba's sweeping shot might just be an opportunity. Chelsea is using its strength to create more fear in the hearts of Tottenham.

Losing to Chelsea is not a shameful thing, but Tottenham does not want to give up the trophy just like that. After losing the ball, they also started to fight back. Defoe and Robbie Keane's breakthroughs did cause Chelsea's goal to be in danger, but this offensive momentum only lasted for less than fifteen minutes.

After Lin Yi passed the ball to Lampard in the middle and changed the score again, the courage that Tottenham had finally mustered was instantly punctured. This was no longer a contest of the same level. Chelsea shot four times and scored two goals. This was a desperately high efficiency, sharp, and unstoppable.

I really don’t know how many Tottenham fans turned off the TV after the game reached halftime.

Maybe they knew that there would not be any big reversal plots. If they continued to watch, they would just appreciate the performance of their opponents. They thought they did not have the good character of cheering for their opponents.

Facts have proved that these fans did have foresight. The game ended with a score of 5-0. The 2-0 in the first half was like a warm-up, and they completely let go in the second half.

Even Anelka, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal. As for what Robinson looked like at the time, it is estimated that his teammates could not bear to watch it. This was really a psychologically devastating massacre.

When the Chelsea team lifted the League Cup at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, many people saw Lin Yi raised a finger towards the camera, as if to prove that they deserved the championship.

But Mourinho knew that Lin Yi was not showing off in this way. He was just telling his opponents that this was Chelsea's first championship on the road to defending the title, and it was just the beginning!

Champions League, League, FA Cup, maybe he will raise this finger for everyone to see! ! !
