My name is Colani

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, thinking quietly. The game had been going on for more than 20 minutes. Trapani had mastered the control of the ball. Chelsea's counter-attack was not useless, but it failed to play a prominent role in many cases. So Chelsea could sometimes get the ball, but the control and organization were not as good as Trapani.

Mourinho didn't know how to crack it. He looked at Ranieri, who kept directing his backcourt players to run.

Mourinho suddenly seemed to understand that in fact, Trapani's current tactical play was exactly what he expected. I was just playing defensive counterattacks. Who was he afraid of? !

What he thought came true. Trapani did not bring substantial threats to Chelsea's goal, but Chelsea brought threats to Trapani's goal.

In the 26th minute, Trapani's frontcourt positional battle was unsuccessful. Chelsea got a counterattack opportunity. Lampard acted quickly and quickly passed the ball to Drogba, the fulcrum of the frontcourt.

Drogba's ability to get the ball with his back to goal is even better than when he was in Trapani. Victor couldn't kick him with his feet, but this guy just couldn't get there. He held Victor tightly with a strong hand. After receiving the ball, Drogba observed for a second and passed the ball to the empty space on the left. Kalou quickly inserted the ball and Maicon chased closely behind.

Kalou was very brave after getting the ball. He actually successfully played a trick on the long-famous Maicon. He stopped the ball and pulled the ball to avoid Maicon who came later, and then changed direction to cut to the middle.

Mourinho was very nervous on the sidelines. The team needed to make good use of this opportunity, because the opportunity to counterattack is not easy to grab.

However, Kalou's next pass almost made Mourinho vomit blood. Kalou had a lot of choices after passing Maicon, but for some reason, he chose to pass the ball. When passing the ball, he didn't observe the position and sent the ball to the back point in the penalty area!

Drogba ran in the middle, while Joe Cole was at the back post, but Kalou passed the ball too deep!

Kalou's pass was a little funny, like a pass or a shot.

Drogba kicked the post, extremely disappointed. What a good opportunity. Drogba even thought about it. Kalou passed the ball directly to him or passed it high to his head. He could handle it well, because Trapani's defense was out of position and Victor couldn't keep up with his pace. Drogba was confident that he would win in the confrontation.

Mourinho shook his head speechlessly. This kid still lacked experience and confidence. Even if he chose to take a long shot from the outside, it would be better than this tune. What's more, Mourinho believed that Kalou should continue to rush to the penalty area, shoot himself or attract one of Trapani's central defenders to pass the ball!

Abrahimovic pounded his left palm with his right hand, and he was also very regretful.

"Hugo, you escaped!" Abrahimovic commented.

"Haha, there will be good fortune after surviving a disaster, Roman, just watch us score!" Hugo laughed.

The threat of a counterattack will not disrupt Trapani's tactical deployment, there is no need to change, Trapani's current personnel composition determines the rationality of the tactics.

With such tactics, Chelsea's bus tactics and defensive counterattacks must be prevented. Surviving death is just a sigh of relief for Ranieri.

A threatening ball cannot change Chelsea's passive situation. Trapani's players are more careful in control. The counterattack just now came from Messi's hard rush in the middle, and he did not form a tacit understanding with Ballack, which led to the opponent's easy interception and counterattack.

So at this moment, the players' awareness is not to go past people in the middle to avoid losing the ball in the middle. Lampard has a wide field of vision, and Drogba in the frontcourt is also a domineering figure with speed and body.

What to do? ! Trapani's players did it very simply, slowly, and the cross from the side became a fixed routine, and they also specifically chose the right side to play.

Trapani's right side is Messi and Maicon, while Chelsea's left side corresponds to Ashley Cole and Kalou.

Ashley Cole was originally a full-back with strong assist ability, but today he was suppressed by Messi, and he had to follow Messi many times.

The advantage of Trapani's tactics is that they will not be short of people in the penalty area. Toni and Klose can definitely bring threats to Chelsea in the penalty area.

And don't forget that there is also Ballack, who has great header skills and is tall. Ranieri's original tactical idea is to bomb Chelsea from a high altitude today.

The Premier League team has strong frontal defense and air defense capabilities, but today Ranieri chose to attack the opponent from the front and use headers to attack the opponent. The reason is naturally because Chelsea's air defense today may only be reliable with Terry.

Ferreira, Geremi, and Ashley Cole are not tall, which is a natural disadvantage. The conservative Ranieri saw this in the last game. It was just because of his conservative attitude that he chose to be cautious. Today was different. The team had to use another tactic. This trick had to be used.

The next game was somewhat procedural. Mourinho knew Ranieri's idea. He began to ask the midfield and the wingers to focus on the defense of the two wings and try not to give the opponent a comfortable chance to pass the ball from the wing. Maicon kept pressing forward, and Messi, him, and Ballack and Pizarro on this side kept trying to get the ball to the right point!

It looked a bit dull, but Trapani also created some opportunities. Toni's header was very threatening, but unfortunately his header was slightly insufficient due to Terry's interference. The other time was a long-range shot from Ballack, which was powerful.

The game was in the 37th minute before Trapani had a chance to score. The positional attack was intercepted by Chelsea. Trapani successfully counter-robbed on the spot. Ballack passed the ball to the right rib, Messi successfully counter-attacked and passed the ball to the back post. Klose rushed like a ghost and headed the ball into Chelsea's goal from five meters away.

The real opportunity came from the counter-robbery, which hit Chelsea's rhythm!

There was thunderous cheers in the Trapani football stadium, and Hugo stood up in the VIP seat and raised his hands to celebrate.

Mourinho was going crazy. This time the mistake came from Makelele. After the interception, he was not decisive in passing the ball, and it was stabbed away by the tall and strong Ballack! A veteran cadre of a team actually made such a mistake? !

He retreated too deep and got the ball in a hurry. Even Makelele hesitated!

Terry and the others hurriedly signaled to the linesman that Messi was offside, but the linesman did not send any signal to the referee Humeto. The meaning was very clear. Messi was not offside and Klose's goal was valid.

The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle.

Klose excitedly turned a somersault and hugged Messi tightly. Trapani's players ran towards them.

Terry and the others put pressure on the linesman. Mourinho was also unwilling to be lonely and appealed to the fourth official, is this ball offside? ! It seems that Messi is really offside! Mourinho's appeal did not work. The fourth official persuaded him to calm down.

After the restart, Chelsea burst into great enthusiasm and wanted to attack!

Trapani was a little slow to adjust for a while, but the defense did not fall apart after all, and Chelsea returned empty-handed. In the first half, the rhythm of both sides was generally a bit slow, and there were not many opportunities. Chelsea only had three pitiful ones. As Humeto blew the whistle to end the first half, Trapani temporarily entered the locker room with a score of 1:0.

Hugo was still satisfied with the first half of today's game. He didn't want to see his team suppressed. The facts showed that with Trapani's current personnel composition, there was no need to be so conservative!

"Roman, sorry, we are temporarily leading now! Haha" Hugo patted Abrahimovic's arm and said.

"That was an offside goal. Your player was offside before passing the ball!" Abrahimovic said unhappily, "You always tell me, did you call Platini in this game?!"
