Chapter 522 Italian Defense

Chelsea's offensive slowed down due to physical problems, giving Roma some opportunities to breathe, and Rudy Garcia's hanging heart was put back in his stomach.

He looked at Mourinho who stood up beside him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Now it's your turn to be anxious. After more than thirty minutes of fierce attack, you didn't score a single goal. This is not a good sign."

At the same time, he was also very proud that his players did this. They defended their own goal and completely ruined Chelsea's attempt to end the battle quickly. This is something to be proud of.

He also glanced at the fans who were scolding him in the stands and muttered to himself: "With your eyesight, if I let you be the coach, I guess more than two of them would have been banned by now."

Rudy Garcia hopes that Mourinho will be more anxious and crazy, and it is best to replace all the attacking players. In this case, it will become very easy to steal a goal.

However, he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw that although Mourinho was standing there with a clearly anxious look on his face, he had no intention of replacing him.

Mourinho is really anxious now. Roma's defense is tenacious beyond his expectation. If he knew this, he might as well choose his old tactics, use defense to consume the opponent's energy in the first half, and then use it in the second half.

A strong counterattack followed.

It seems that his expression is a bit complicated, but he does not mean disappointed, because he knows that at this time, what the players need is not his panic, but him to calmly consider whether there is any way to make this situation better.

This embarrassing situation has been reversed.

Who is Mourinho? Many people are waiting to see his jokes. Of course he will not show panic and disappointment here, otherwise the camera lens will give him a close-up, and the people who hate him all over the world will be able to hide it secretly

He smiled, but those who liked him may be disappointed.

He didn't want others to see his true thoughts.

After standing for a while, Mourinho walked to the sidelines and waved his hand in the direction of his own goal, which meant that he was temporarily withdrawing his troops. Since the crazy attack had no effect, let's make sure the goal is not missed first.

For a while, Roma had a chance to counterattack, which posed a huge threat to their own goal. If they didn't change, they would have to wait for one to be stolen by the opponent.

"The defense of the Italian team is really not good." This is not the first time Mourinho has played against an Italian team. When he coached Inter Milan, he had too many such experiences, but at that time, Inter Milan's attack

Although the team was strong, it still couldn't compare with this Chelsea team. He thought that it would be easy for Chelsea to destroy Roma's defense, but who knew it would not be as smooth as he imagined.

Once Chelsea goes on the defensive, Roma's offense can be unleashed. However, Chelsea's defense is not blocked. From last season to this season, the defense has been basically perfect. As long as the defenders don't make some low-level mistakes, basically everything will be fine.

If you go on defense, there won't be much of a problem.

So until the end of the first half of this game, the score between the two sides was still 0:0.

Chelsea failed to break through the gate of Roma, and Roma also failed to break through the gate of Chelsea. At least the score between the two teams in the first half was a draw. Although Chelsea had an absolute advantage on the scene, with a ball possession rate as high as 80%, but

That doesn't mean anything. As Mourinho often tells his players, ball possession rate means little. If FIFA thinks that the victory of the game can be determined by ball possession rate, then ball possession rate will become very important.

important.

Rudi Garcia is very satisfied with this result. After all, this is Stamford Bridge and Chelsea's home stadium. It is understandable that they failed to score, but if the opponent did not score, it is definitely a victory for Roma. He is now

I feel that Mourinho and Lin Yu are actually nothing special. Facing Roma's solid defense, there are not many opportunities.

So when he returned to the locker room at the end of the first half, Rudy Garcia had a relaxed smile on his face. He even used his free time to wave his fists to demonstrate to the fans who were booing him.

In contrast, Mourinho hurriedly left the coaching bench and walked into the player tunnel one minute before the end of the first half. It was obvious that his mood was not very good. He was already thinking about it.

What to do in the second half? After all, there are only forty-five minutes of home time left. If you want to occupy the largest lead possible during this period, you must think carefully.

The media, which took advantage of the situation, also began to praise Rudy Garcia for his proper tactics, praise the Roma team for playing well, and praise Rudy Garcia as a coach who cannot lose to Mourinho.

"In terms of defense, Rudi Garcia is really no worse than Mourinho. Although Roma failed to score in the first half, it is not easy not to concede a goal in the away game. They did it

Now, that’s something a lot of teams can’t do.”

"In the first half of the duel, Mourinho lost to Rudi Garcia because his tactical strategy was completely seen through by Rudi Garcia and he made a powerful counterattack. Mourinho wanted to attack

, took the lead as early as possible, but Rudy Garcia used Italian defense to make him come back in vain."

"Where is Lin Yu, who claims to be the best in the world? Did his feet become soft at critical moments? Although he had a few good shots, he failed to score. They can only be regarded as random shots. His performance today even...

Not as good as our veteran - Prince Totti of Rome!"

"If today's game ends with this score, then there is no doubt that Rudy Garcia and his team will be happy in the end. It is definitely not an easy thing to draw with Chelsea away from home."

In the Chelsea dressing room at this time, Mourinho did not show an angry or disappointed expression. Instead, he said calmly: "We were tied in the first half. Why are the media reporters outside so happy? In fact, we were tied in the first half.

The reason is simple, because we are stronger! Everyone knows that we are stronger than Roma! So who can tell me, what should we do in the second half?"

"Continue the attack!" Lin Yu was the first to shout.

"That's right, the opponent definitely didn't expect that we would continue to choose the same tactics after the force attack failed!" Azar also nodded in agreement.

"It's really hard for me to watch the Roma team's attack. Lin Yu, Schürrle, Hazard, you don't have to come back to defend. Just leave the interception in the midfield to me and Gundogan. We can do it."

Ramirez also said.

"..."

The players expressed their opinions, but in the final analysis, they had only one meaning, which was to continue attacking. There was no sign of any low morale among the players, nor was there any sign of fatigue among them.

Mourinho smiled and said: "You're right, we just want to show the world that not only can we counterattack, but our ability to break dense defenses is equally strong! Lin Yu was looked at so hard in the first half

, There are not many opportunities, so let's do this. In the second half, Lin Yu, you take the initiative to lean to the right. Xuerle goes to the left, and Hazard goes to the middle."

"I play center?" Hazard asked in surprise.

"No, the center is still Lin Yu. Who told you that the center can't move to the side? The wing is an area that is easily overlooked. A center with good skills can completely take on the responsibilities of the winger. We don't need to play high, the middle

It's the same for everyone, just play yourself as a midfielder or a striker, and Oscar will protect you from behind," Mourinho said.

"Okay, I understand." After understanding Mourinho's intention, Hazard nodded with understanding. In fact, he understood. With Chelsea's tactical thinking, his center is just a cover, just for

Create opportunities for Lin Yu's goals and attract the attention of the opponent's defensive players, but he doesn't care. As a midfielder, he should have such a spirit of sacrifice, not to mention that he always felt that if it weren't for Lin Yu's existence, he would

It is absolutely impossible to win the European Golden Globe Award. For this reason alone, he should cover for Lin Yu.

What's more, the court is changing rapidly, so he may not have no chance to score goals. At Chelsea, I am afraid that everyone except the goalkeeper has scored goals. This is the flexibility and changeability of tactics.

At the same time, in the Roma locker room, Rudi Garcia looked very excited and very proud.

"Listen up, everyone, we have already had a successful first half, and the second half is a continuation of the first half. We must do better! Mourinho's team has now discovered that strong attacks cannot tear us apart.

The defense line is down, so they will most likely choose the traditional defensive counterattack style in the second half. After all, this is their home court, and they will never be willing to see us score, so whether it is Mourinho or Chelsea players, they should choose

Stubborn."

"Of course, one thing I need to emphasize is that even if I have to counterattack, I must defend well and never give Chelsea any chance to counterattack. I believe you all know how powerful Chelsea's defensive counterattacks are. There are many

The team has become a victim under their counterattack, and I don’t want Roma to become a victim too, you know?”

The halftime break is over and players from both teams begin to enter the stadium.

The reporters in the media gallery were talking a lot.

"How do you think Mourinho will play in the second half? Will he continue to launch strong attacks like he did in the first half, or will he choose his old method of defensive counterattack?"

"There should be more possibilities for defensive counterattacks. After all, strong attacks were ineffective in the first half when we had enough energy. How could we do that in the second half?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Mourinho can always make some arrangements unexpectedly."

"Oh, yes, that guy is the one who doesn't like to play his cards according to common sense!"

"It's hard to guess Mourinho, but I can guess Rudy Garcia's tactics. They didn't concede a single goal in defense in the first half. There will definitely not be any major adjustments in the second half. They can only make defensive adjustments."

Just strengthen the counterattack a little bit."

"I discovered a phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?"

"Why does it seem like almost all teams now have learned to play defensive counterattacks after encountering Chelsea?"

"There is no way. Chelsea's attacking group is too strong. Lin Yu alone needs at least three defenders to defend. It is impossible without defensive counterattack."

Suddenly the referee's whistle sounded, and the second half began. The originally noisy media box also became quiet. No one wanted to miss something exciting. After all, whether it was Mourinho or Rudy Garcia, it was

They are quite capable coaches, and some of the arrangements they have made are worth scrutinizing and observing.

After changing sides and fighting again, reporters quickly discovered the changes in Chelsea.

"Why did Lin Yu go to the right? Is Mourinho going to play a forwardless tactic?"

"How is it possible? Mourinho's favorite is a powerful center. It is rare to have Lin Yu, so why would he choose a style of play that he is not good at?"

"Then what happened on the field? Why is Lin Yu on the right?"

"It's probably a temporary change of position. Isn't this a common thing? Is there anything strange about it?"

After the reporter said this, he discovered that in the past five or six minutes, Lin Yu was still moving on the right and had no intention of returning to the center.

Lin Yu on the right has more sprinting opportunities, and faster players on the wing have a greater advantage. In that narrow space, it is difficult for the defender to position himself. After all, it is the sideline next to him, unless he stands outside the court.

, otherwise it would be impossible to surround Lin Yu.

Don't think that the sideline is a restriction. According to football rules, although the ball cannot cross the sideline, otherwise it will go out of bounds, players can. Once Lin Yu chooses to speed past people from the side, it will be really troublesome. (To be continued.
