Midfielder

Chapter 496

"Madman! Liar! Despicable guy!" Perhaps the professional football reporters in Italy have never been so angry, but at this moment they no longer care about etiquette. Only curses and abuse can let them vent the pent-up emotions in their hearts. There is anger because they have all been played by Mourinho in the past month.

This was really a naked joke. When all the Italians thought that Lin Yi must sit at home in London to watch the game, the kid appeared in Paris like a ghost shadow, with no injury to his right leg at all. !

With Lin Yi's appearance, all previous predictions became empty talk. The kid appeared in Chelsea's warm-up lineup alive and kicking. Looking at his excitement, the Italian realized that he really looked like an idiot now!

And he is the stupidest kind of idiot! They were all fooled by Mourinho's tricks. In the past month, the guy used various illusions to confuse AC Milan until the moment before the start of the game.

When Chelsea's starting lineup was revealed, Lin Yi's name was clearly on the list. Almost all reporters didn't know when this kid came to Paris. This kid's name was not even on Chelsea's special plane to Paris!

Moreover, the day before Chelsea flew out of London, some Italian reporters saw the kid going to the hospital for a follow-up visit, but none of them knew that Lin Yi was going to remove the fake plaster because he would fly to Paris earlier than Chelsea. .

All this is hidden deeply. Even before Lin Yi showed up, Mendes kept sighing during the interview, "If Lin Yi misses the Champions League final, he will be very disappointed because he has always dreamed of it." There is a chance to defend the Champions League, but the damn injury always comes at the wrong time, maybe I should pray for him.”

The Italian reporters saw Lin Yi appear less than two hours after this interview. Maybe now they can understand that they were completely deceived by this group of people, and the skills they used were still deceiving continuously!

Those commentators and reporters who predicted Chelsea's starting lineup one day in advance were in tragedy this time. The appearance of Lin Yi completely overturned all their ideas. Starting? Damn it, if there was that kid, Chelsea could play any game!

They even have the ability to play against AC Milan! Just like their two matchups with Barcelona! God! Those Chelsea animals are simply the most terrifying devil leaders! They are Satan who represents the power of evil!

Now this kid has not only appeared in Paris, but has also been thrown into the starting lineup by Mourinho. Now those Italian reporters may not know what to say except cursing. Curse? Will that have an impact on the game?

Not to mention that the Italian reporters were a little confused, and even the English reporters were kept in the dark. But when they saw Lin Yi's name appearing on the list, the first thing they let out was not exclamations, but from the bottom of their hearts. shouts of excitement!

"That kid can come on! God is favoring Chelsea! We will definitely be able to successfully defend our title!" This kind of shouting was in sharp contrast to the Italians' depression, and Mourinho didn't give any explanation when he showed up.

At this time, there is no need to explain anything. This is the secret fight between Mourinho and Lin Yi. Although Mourinho knows that if he has the strongest lineup, he can still compete with AC Milan.

But if you can take advantage of the other party, why not do it? Being able to disrupt Ancelotti's formation is the most frustrating thing for the opponent, and it can also make his own tactics more proactive after the start.

The old partners Andy Gray and Lineker are now looking very excited. The little guy who has disappeared for almost a month is standing so magically on the turf of the Stade de France. Is there anything more exciting than this? Feeling excited about something? God, these beasts at Chelsea are so crazy, that guy Mourinho has dug this trap so deep.

Even Andy Gray felt a little sympathetic to Ancelotti's experience at this time, "When you encounter a devil like Mourinho who doesn't play by the rules, maybe Ancelotti should give a blessing before the game. Pray, I feel so sorry for him.”

Lineker also sympathized with Ancelotti, but the guy’s tone of voice seemed more like he was enjoying Mourinho’s underhanded tactics, “I also sympathize with the AC Milan coach’s experience, but it can For an opponent that Mourinho values ​​so much, maybe he should have had an inkling earlier that the opponent would lay a trap for him, and the layout would be so detailed.”

Compared with Andy Gray, Lineker's ridicule was sympathetic, but more like teasing the other person.

However, this kind of sympathy can hardly help Ancelotti calm down his emotions. Even if the reporters cursed him, Mourinho is a standard liar in his eyes at this moment. He spent a month designing this A scam.

He not only used the Champions League semi-finals to make a complete set, but also used the FA Cup final to make a series of sets. After Ancelotti thought about it for a month, he still jumped in, although he was also very cautious in doubting it. Live through it all.

But the bait Mourinho threw in the trap was too tempting. He was simply tempting Ancelotti to make mistakes step by step. But a madman who can use a game like the Champions League semi-finals as bait really can't Judge based on common sense.

In order to dig the trap deeper, Mourinho even used the fascination method in two important events.

Ancelotti has been trying to do various analyzes in the past month, but Lin Yi's several appearances were all serious injuries and Mourinho's increasingly conservative play style, at the last moment All have become necessary for scams.

It can be said that Ancelotti is not too unjust. He is worth Mourinho's troubles. It can be seen that AC Milan's performance in the Champions League still put a lot of pressure on Mourinho, so he Go to great lengths to lay traps.

But now it seems that in the battle between the hunter and the prey, the hunter won in the end. Mourinho used a series of deceptive tactics to dazzle Ancelotti, an honest man. AC Milan's starting lineup in this game is more inclined. On offense.

This is the lineup that Ancelotti and his coaching staff put together after much deliberation. They all predicted that Mourinho would give up all-out offense in the absence of Lin Yi, and the tactical focus would be on defense and defensive counterattacks. It will also be Chelsea's preferred tactic. Facing the threats of Kaká and Seedorf, Chelsea will continue to send out a defensive lineup with three midfielders.

This is a lineup speculated based on several Chelsea games in the last month or so. Although it is impossible to be completely accurate, the positions of the players will not change much, so Ancelotti chose to lean more offensively at the last moment.

If you want to tear apart Chelsea's defense, you must rely on sufficient offensive firepower. Ancelotti does not want to be dragged by Chelsea until the penalty shootout like Manchester United. AC Milan has many veterans and they do not have the physical strength to keep up with the opponent.

Moreover, Ancelotti chose this lineup mainly because the pressure on his shoulders was too heavy. He was defeated by his rival in the same city in the League Cup. This has already touched Berlusconi's nerves, and in the Serie A championship, In the competition, AC Milan also fell behind at the last moment. Juventus' victory at home in Turin determined the championship.

With strength in two key battles, this kind of pressure is really a bit unfavorable for Ancelotti. There was still the possibility of competing for the championship in the third tier, but losing two championships in a row made Ancelotti only Able to make a desperate move.

Otherwise, he really doesn’t know whether Berlusconi’s dismissal letter will be on his desk after this Champions League final. This may be related to his job issue, so after weighing it again and again, Ancelotti All we can do is fight.

Only a Champions League trophy can redeem himself from the troubles caused by previous defeats, and a week before the start of the game, Berlusconi announced that he would go to the Stade de France in person to watch the pinnacle showdown of the Champions League.

After experiencing the embarrassing moment in the Champions League last season, Berlusconi is obviously trying to regain face in front of the Russian tycoon this time. If Ancelotti keeps the game deadlocked, then there will definitely be a look on his face. Can't hang on.

Therefore, the pressure from all aspects affected Ancelotti, so he chose to let the Rossoneri mainly attack in this game at the last moment. Perhaps it was the recent good form of Kaká and the others that gave this good old man the courage to attack.

Mourinho needs this kind of effect, but he also knows that if Lin Yi is not available, the opponent has only a small possibility to deploy a three-back midfielder, but now the opponent can only leave Gattuso as a defensive player. The defensive midfielder has already disrupted AC Milan's tactical arrangements. It can be seen that Ancelotti wants to use his offense to open up the situation.

In fact, what Chelsea's coaching staff fears most is that AC Milan will choose to defend and counterattack. In that case, the trap set by Mourinho will be meaningless. He calculated all the way to hope that Ancelotti would choose to take risks in the final.

Only by letting the Italians attack can Chelsea have the opportunity to use Lin Yi's foreshadowing to catch the opponent by surprise. Although everyone knows this kid's personal abilities, if he doesn't show up for a month, it will still have the effect of a surprise attack.

Perhaps Ancelotti's only wise move was to place Cafu and Maldini on the two wings. When he chose to attack in the midfield and frontcourt, he did not forget to focus on marking Chelsea's two wingers, but now it seems Up, he still lost control of the midfield. Pirlo teamed up with Gattuso, and it was difficult to stand up to the combination of Lin Yi and Lampard from the front.

Even the Italian reporters kept complaining on the sidelines, "With only one full-time defensive midfielder, it is difficult for such a capable defensive lineup to contain Chelsea's offense, and Mourinho did not put in a full defensive posture."

Although both sides have a four-back lineup, Ashley Cole and Bosingwa on Chelsea's side can both provide assists on the wing, and Mourinho not only sends assists in the midfield The pairing of Lin Yi and Lampard.

Gerrard also replaced Makelele. Makelele, Essien and Maniche, who Ancelotti predicted before the game, did not play. Mourinho used Gerrard, who had a balance of offense and defense, to sit in the midfielder. The move was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Put in from the back row. I don't want the opponent to mark Frank easily. I need you to use your physical strength to run in a wide range of midfield, especially in the middle. You have to seize every space you can get forward to win." Long shot chance!”

This is why Mourinho let Makelele sit on the bench in the final. Not only did he want Lin Yi's sudden appearance to disrupt the opponent's tactical arrangements this time, he also wanted Chelsea to control the midfield and even the defensive midfielder. Get involved in the offense.

Isn't everyone talking about Chelsea's possible defense? Then you just wait and see, Chelsea's offensive spear will be sharper than everyone else! From midfield to forward, the step-by-step attack will definitely defeat all opponents!

This is really a desperate match. Mourinho seems to have forgotten what tactics he has used in the past month. His starting lineup completely broke those so-called predictions. No one can correctly predict his starting lineup.

Lineker exclaimed when he saw the starting lineup, "Maybe those Italians are right, Mourinho is really crazy, his offensive lineup for this game is even crazier than when he played against Barcelona!"

Except for the straight line in the middle, which is composed of Gerrard, Lin Yi, and Lampard, Robben and Ribery are partners on the two sides. This is not surprising, but if someone hears what Mourinho said when assigning them tasks, they will know how crazy this guy's idea is, "You two can switch positions according to the situation!"

Robben and Ribery, who have always been fixed on the left and right sides, have received a command to take advantage of loopholes. As long as they think it is possible, Mourinho allows them to switch positions freely, not fixed on a certain side.

Perhaps the two full-backs of AC Milan in this game can clearly understand what it will be like when these two guys can switch positions freely. Maybe that is a madness that makes everyone feel cold sweat on their backs!

With a thick enough midfield, Mourinho has almost accumulated all the offensive essences of his team in the midfield.

Moreover, Makelele, Essien and Cassano were also sitting on the bench. It can be seen from this that Mourinho is ready to fight Ancelotti to the end in the midfield, that is, to fight for control and master the rhythm of the entire game.

Mourinho only left Drogba as a bridgehead on the forward line. Originally, the Italian media predicted that if Chelsea could only rely on two wing attacks, they would definitely exclude the double center forwards and bomb the AC Milan defense line at high altitude.

But now it seems that Chelsea no longer needs such high-intensity combat. They have enough control to complete the task of interception and organization of attack in the midfield, and Drogba is more like a bridgehead, fighting for control in the air.

"From the ground to the air, I don't want the opponent to have weapons to suppress us, so Drogba must suppress Stam! I hope that the crosses from the wing can play a role here, and you must also be able to form a tacit cooperation with the midfielders behind you. More often, you have to become a heavy artillery when they insert in the back row!"

Mourinho did not intend to eat the opponent in one breath, but he also had to continue to put pressure on the opponent. This is a game to test who has more fierce offensive firepower. Since it has been decided to give AC Milan a blow, then let this stick hit harder! Mourinho does not want to swing a wooden stick, he needs to hold a mace in his hand!

When it swings up, as long as it hits the opponent, it will bring a streak of blood and make the opponent painful!

Compared with Chelsea's starting lineup, all of Ancelotti's personnel arrangements have been calculated by Mourinho.

The goalkeeper will not be changed, and it will be Dida who has been in mediocre form recently. The back line of defense is lined up with Maldini, Cafu, Stam, and Nesta, all of which are the four people that Ancelotti is most used to. Kaka, Seedorf and Pirlo in the midfield are also Ancelotti's first choice when he decides to press forward. Only Gattuso is a standard defender.

For the offense, Ancelotti used two strikers, but not Inzaghi and Shevchenko who have just recovered from a serious injury, but Gilardino who transferred from Parma and Ukrainian nuclear warheads. Maybe when facing Terry and Carvalho, Ancelotti does not want Shevchenko to be locked by the opponent last season.

But now it seems that Mourinho is no longer pursuing the opponent's offensive attempt to lock the opponent. He wants to rely on offense to fight the opponent to the end. Maybe he has calculated that Ancelotti will attack, so he plans to attack against attack in this game!

Ancelotti couldn't deny his starting lineup now, and he didn't want to disrupt his tactical arrangements, but in such a direct confrontation, all his ideas were calculated by the opponent, and he really didn't know how to change.

Unless this guy has the courage to replace two people at once after the opening, otherwise, he can only watch Lin Yi, the kid, create chaos and trouble for AC Milan's defense in the front and midfield. He has been deeply trapped in this scam.

Before all the players left the locker room, Ancelotti could only tell each player in a relatively loud voice, "AC Milan is the strongest, and there are still tens of thousands of fans outside cheering for you. This is our revenge battle!"

Perhaps this drum is the only thing he can do now, but how much effect this exciting tone can play, maybe even he himself doesn't know, before making substitutions, he can only leave it to fate.

Mourinho said in the locker room, "After the 90-minute game, I opened the champagne for you to celebrate the victory in the locker room. Now your task is to go on the court and kick those people's ass!"

Perhaps this pre-match mobilization has determined that this is a duel between two head coaches with different personalities. Before Lin Yi was the first to walk out of the locker room, he pounded his chest hard and roared wildly in the player tunnel!

"We are the champions! Aww!", a group of animals in blue uniforms are on the road to rewriting history.
