Star Coach

Mourinho stared at Milan's personnel arrangements with complicated thoughts.

Jiang Shan rarely appeared on the sidelines, and he really regarded this powerful Chelsea as an opponent. If it was Chelsea in the previous life, he wouldn't have noticed it, but now Drogba, Robben, and Joe Cole have reached their peak early. They are extremely powerful on the wing and in the center and are very difficult to deal with.

Milan's weakness is on the wing. Their wing speed is not fast enough. Maldini and Cafu are defending based on experience. If the position is not stuck, there will be an open space.

The away game must be solid.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the first half.

Milan took the lead in attacking. Seedorf passed the ball to Pirlo behind him. Chelsea players rushed quickly and Pirlo was almost intercepted by Lampard.

The momentum at the start was different. Chelsea were definitely here to win. They wanted to succeed, they were crazy.

After Pirlo turned around, he took the ball out and gave it to Cafu. Facing the rushing Joe Cole, Cafu used his body to protect the ball, and then sprinted forward.

Players in the Premier League are faster. Facing the aging Milan players, they have advantages in speed and physical fitness. Cafu is not a vegetarian. He has rested for two games and is in good physical condition.

After half-time, the forward pressure continued, and Milan's players moved accordingly, with ball points everywhere. Mourinho made a prompt decision and ordered his players to quickly intercept the ball, and at the same time asked Ferreira to press forward and steal the ball.

Gattuso came over to take over, and it was fake. Seedorf faced a double defense and passed the ball over the top. The ball fell to Pirlo's feet.

Pirlo turned on the spot, got rid of Lampard's entanglement, suddenly kicked the ball, and passed the ball long, beautiful and coquettish, like an Italian model.

The ball drew a beautiful arc and fell in front of Kaka. Makelele was immediately in place, and everyone's rotation was also very fast.

Mourinho had been preparing for the pressing in the opening stage for a long time. He was also analyzing Milan's playing style. He watched the video no less than 30 times and finally caught some clues.

Technically, there is definitely no way to compare with Milan. We can only use our body and speed to eat them raw. This is the best way.

Milan players also felt particularly uncomfortable, "No wonder Jiangshan said Chelsea is the most difficult opponent to deal with. It is indeed the case." Shevchenko received the pass, passed it over, and immediately returned it to Kaká, who was sprinting.

The ball passed from behind Gudjohnsen, and Kaká just caught it with a clever passing line.

There was a chance, Kaka broke through with the ball, passed Carvalho who was rushing up, and shot suddenly, the first shot of the opening shot.

boom!

The ball hit Terry's head and went over the crossbar. No goal was scored. Terry shook his head, stood up and commanded the defense, "Don't give them any chance, Milan is very difficult to deal with."

Mourinho admires Terry's attitude towards the game. It's like this. It's not a problem to throw his body away.

The Milan players were a little shocked when they saw Terry's defensive actions. They were desperate. Today's game was more difficult than expected.

Mourinho kept writing and drawing on the paper. Makelele was a beat slower because of his age. Then Del Horno reacted too slowly and moved to the center slower. At the same time, he ran two meters less. Otherwise Kaka has no chance to shoot.

A corner kick was taken, a tactical corner kick.

Shevchenko received the ball, returned to the top of the penalty area, and gave Seedorf control. Seedorf faced Makelele's defense and was stuck by the candy, and then Gudjohnsen snatched the ball from the side.

Fight back.

Gudjohnsen passes the ball to Lampard.

The speed was so fast that Chelsea's front three had already passed half-time, especially Drogba. I couldn't believe that he was actually at the front.

Jiang Shan watched Chelsea's counterattack with worry in his heart, "Drogba is completely mature and difficult to deal with. This beast was actually trained by me and now he wants to kill me."

Gattuso struggled to get stuck in position, but still couldn't hold on and was almost knocked away.

Nesta used his hands and feet to block the advance of the monster. Seeing that there was no chance in the middle, Lampard quickly passed the ball to the wing. Robben was on the right, also a huge threat.

Robben took two steps, Maldini's body was already heading towards the penalty area, and sure enough, Robben cut inside.

Very fast, one step, two steps, kick, shot.

Sure enough, it was this move, an inside shot, Robben's signature move. Simic didn't even react, it was too fast. But Maldini actually appeared on the shooting path and knocked the ball out of bounds with difficulty.

He also fell to the ground with great difficulty.

"What a great guy. Fortunately, Jiangshan made careful arrangements. Otherwise, Dida would have been able to save the shot from this angle." Maldini gasped, and the pressure suddenly increased.

The game is not easy to play.

Mourinho was surprised. Robben had deliberately reduced his inward shots during this period, just to prevent Jiangshan from analyzing the video and saying, "Jiangshan is really good, and he actually saw it, Robben's unique skill."

Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief, Maldini resolved Luo Laohan's shot, and the confidence of Milan players will be improved.

"Beautiful clearance", Simic slapped Maldini.

"Be careful, this guy is difficult to deal with." Maldini appeared in the defensive position again. "This guy looks older than me. I didn't expect to move so fast. If I hadn't taken precautions in advance, I would have been unable to defend him."

The game entered an anxious state. Milan controlled the rhythm, but could not break Chelsea's defense. Chelsea players defended very aggressively and kept pressing Milan's old men.

"Is this the way to deal with Milan?" Countless commentators exclaimed after seeing Chelsea's state.

Chelsea's approach is similar to that of Inter Milan and Real Madrid. They press high and compress the defensive space, but their physical fitness is better, their defensive rotation is faster, and every position can be rotated quickly.

Milan also couldn't find an attacking angle, and it was difficult to tear apart Chelsea's defense. The most important thing is that Chelsea's counterattack speed is amazing, and Milan will step on a thunder if they are not careful.

Don't dare to invest too many troops in the attack. Jiang Shan looked at Chelsea with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel a sense of madness, "This is my opponent, this is a strong team."

Milan's personnel configuration is not perfect, there are too many players at the tenth position, and Seedorf is too old, there is a lack of skilled players in the frontcourt, and the intensity of small-scale blasting is far from enough.

At its peak, Barcelona has a combination of Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, which is excellent in passing and controlling. Carrying bombs in a small area is as easy as eating and drinking. This is the perfect combination.

"Snapped!"

Makelele intercepted Gattuso who was coming up with the ball. His body was not weaker than Gattuso's and his center of gravity was too stable.

The ball was passed to Joe Cole. He was sprinting. Cafu chased back, but his speed was not as fast as Joe Cole. Joe Cole was England's best small-skilled player in the past decade, but unfortunately he couldn't maintain his form for too long.

Drogba, Robben and Lampard all appeared in the frontcourt. Joe Cole faced Pirlo and passed the ball, which fell to Drogba's feet.

Drogba took a step forward without attacking, leaving it to Lampard behind him to rush forward and squeeze Milan's defense.
