Chapter 612: "-for-Tat"


Villas-Boas admires Mourinho's ability to accurately grasp the players' mentality.

Sure enough, there is no shortcut to success.

If you want to become a world-class head coach, in addition to having excellent coaching ability, you must also regulate the players' playing spirit. state.

For example, the current method of stimulating players' emotions can ensure that they are full of passion throughout the second half.

After adjusting the players' battle in the second half, Mourinho turned his attention to the team's skills and tactics.

The players in the visiting team's locker room were in a very low mood at this time, and they were ready to wait for head coach Ferguson's hair dryer.

Sure enough, after the red-faced Ferguson entered the locker room, he roared at the person responsible for conceding the goal in the first half.

When he felt that it was almost the same, he stopped roaring and began to make targeted arrangements for the second half of the game.

Surprisingly, the first person Ferguson named was not Cristiano Ronaldo, but Wayne Rooney.

"Wayne."

Ferguson looked up at the little fat Rooney and said: "Remember you are a forward and not an organizing midfielder.

You were too selfless in the first half.

You must be more selfish when you have the opportunity.

You are a forward destroyer."

The vanguard of the city’s fortification” Rooney's eyes lit up, especially when he said, "You are a striker, a striker who can destroy a city."

Only now did he remember that he was a striker At the beginning of last season, head coach Ferguson asked himself to make appropriate sacrifices to give his friend Cristiano Ronaldo more opportunities, so many times his first reaction was to pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo instead of himself.

Look for space to shoot.

"I know."

Rooney nodded firmly, clenching his fists tightly and secretly saying, "I will prove that I am no worse than Cristiano."

The fifteen minutes of midfield passed quickly.

Players from both sides came out of their respective locker rooms, passed through the player tunnel, and entered the stadium.

At the same time, the team anthem "beistheour" sung by Chelsea Stadium in the stands grew louder.

Listening to the singing coming from the main stand, the home team players turned around collectively after entering the stadium, gave them a high thumbs up, and clapped their hands to show them well done.

The fans of the home team saw that their efforts were recognized by the players, and their voices became louder and louder.

Rooney curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly to his friend Cristiano Ronaldo next to him: "This sound is really unpleasant."

"Yeah, so we have to score as soon as possible to stop them."

Cristiano Ronaldo raised an arc at the corner of his mouth.

“Good job” Rooney stretched out his right hand and clapped his hands with Cristiano Ronaldo to encourage each other.

"come on" Manchester United deserves to be the best-performing team since the founding of the Premier League.

They were not timid when facing the league leader Chelsea on the road.

From the first second of kick-off, they launched a strong attack on Chelsea's defensive hinterland.

Only thirty seconds into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed into the penalty area at high speed and beat Chelsea captain Terry to hit the football.

Unfortunately, it missed the post, but it scared the home team fans into a cold sweat.

Also frightened into a cold sweat was Mourinho, who was standing in the home team's command area.

The defense just now was really critical.

If Cristiano Ronaldo's header hadn't hit the goal range, it would have been dangerous.

If The score was tied by the visiting team less than thirty seconds into the game, so it would be hard to tell about this game.

So he yelled at the two wide defenders: "Limit their passers."

Although facing the strong attack of a team of Manchester United's level, it is difficult to keep without conceding a goal throughout the game, so Mourinho requires the players to slow down the offensive rhythm of Manchester United players as much as possible, so that their offense cannot Only by playing smoothly can we have the greatest chance of not conceding a goal.

This is why Mourinho asked his players to seize the opportunity to counterattack during halftime, because a team of Manchester United's level will not give their opponents too many counterattack opportunities.

With the attack less than a minute into the game, Chelsea consciously targeted the restrictions on the two wing players, making it impossible for Cristiano Ronaldo, who frequently cut into the penalty area, to compete for headers.

Therefore, he was like the first half.

As before the end, he pulled out of the penalty area to take a long shot, but it was too far from the goal and the chance of scoring was pitifully low.

After Chelsea successfully defended Manchester United's two attacks in a row, they also got a chance to attack, but it ended with Drogba's goal kick missing the goal post.

Both sides were having a great time playing back and forth, and the fans in the stands never stopped shouting, making the players on the court play extremely hard.

However, they didn't know that their goal was slowly in danger.

It can be said that Tevez was very unhappy in the first 50 minutes of the game.

Due to his own characteristics, he is not a point-grabbing forward.

He is somewhat similar to Rooney in that he needs ground ball support from his teammates.

Instead of supporting high-altitude balls, Ferguson had reminded him during the halftime break to be more active and not always stay in the penalty area waiting for opportunities, so this time he was going to pull out of the penalty area to see if he could find any good opportunities. .

Even if you can't score, assisting your teammates is acceptable.

After all, football is a team sport.

Tevez, who was pulled to the right wing, put a lot of pressure on Ashley Cole, because he must always pay attention to Manchester United's right back Hargreaves in this game.

However, the effect is still not good because the purpose is too strong.

In the 11th minute of the second half, which was the 56th minute of the game, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who came to the wing this time.

He quickly received Carrick's pass.

As with the usual tactics, the winger was on the wing.

When receiving the ball from the wide wing, the full-back must execute the tactic of inserting behind the ball.

Whether or not to pass the ball depends on the ball carrier's own considerations.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a fake move to pass the football to Hargreaves who was on the edge of his backside, deceiving Ashley Cole into turning around and chasing him subconsciously.

At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo flicked the ball horizontally and quickly connected with a fast cross with his right foot.

No one thought that Cristiano Ronaldo, who had scored 33 goals in 35 league games, would choose to cross.

Even Ashley Cole, who made a subconscious pursuit, focused most of his attention on Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden inward cut.

Mourinho, who was standing in the home team's command area, frowned and looked at the football in mid-air, instinctively worried about his own goal.

Because the quality of the ball is quite high, the football drew a wonderful arc in the air and flew near the penalty spot.

Seeing this, he suddenly remembered that before the World Cup in Germany, wasn't Cristiano Ronaldo just a standard winger?

However, it was only later that Ferguson discovered his terrifying goal scoring potential that he switched to playing as a free agent in the frontcourt and gained more. shooting opportunities.

Danger As a key part of Manchester United's response to crosses from the wing, although the high point Cristiano Ronaldo was not in the penalty area at this time, Terry and Carvalho still paid attention to the forward combination of Rooney and Tevez.

Up to this point in the game, Crosses from the wing are all made to avoid the forward point consciously, and the same is true for this cross.

For Terry and Carvalho, if nothing goes wrong, they should be able to make a clearance.

But what I didn't expect was that Cristiano Ronaldo's cross was very accurate.

The landing point happened to be between Terry and Carvalho.

Rooney ran to the landing point of the cross in a few steps and turned sideways.

Diving header.

Although Cech tried his best to make a save reaction, he was still beyond his reach because Rooney's diving dive was very powerful and there was a rebound.

This was very difficult for Cech, who subconsciously made the save, so he could only He watched helplessly as the football flew into the goal he was guarding.

When Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball on the right wing, everyone's attention was on him.

In the past season, the only one who could hold Ai Luo on the scorer list was the Portuguese. , who was born as a winger, has a scoring ability that is no less than that of Aiello.

Many of Manchester United's games this season have relied on his personal flash to win the game.

Therefore, no one dared to take Cristiano Ronaldo lightly when he got the ball on the wing.

Ashley Cole took it seriously, but Hargreaves did not dare to ignore it, so his defensive position was very good.

Whether it was Hargreaves catching the ball from behind or Cristiano Ronaldo smashing the ball in, he was able to react immediately, but what he didn't expect was that Cristiano Ronaldo actually chose to cross.

This is unscientific Rooney, who has played with Cristiano Ronaldo for four seasons, has already guessed exactly where his best friend's pass will land.

Therefore, he made a sudden stop and turn when receiving the ball.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo's cross was very accurate, he dived sideways and headed the ball into the goal.

Suddenly, the Stamford Bridge stadium became extremely quiet.

The Manchester United fans who came to the scene to cheer for the team seized the opportunity and chanted the name of the goal scorer Rooney with all their lives.

"Beautiful Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball beautifully, and Rooney's running and heading were equally wonderful.

I have to say that Chelsea's defense made serious mistakes this time, otherwise Rooney, who is less than 1.8 meters tall, would not have been able to find opportunities."

BBC commentator Lineker shook his head and said.

"Have Chelsea players forgotten that Cristiano Ronaldo was an indispensable assist point in Manchester United two seasons ago?

It was only in the past two seasons that Sir Alex Ferguson discovered his crazy offensive ability and changed his style.

Therefore, see When it comes time for him to score goals, Chelsea’s conceding goal is due to its own lack of anticipation of the players.”

Andy Gray also shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, Chelsea's Ai assisted a goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo also assisted Rooney to score.

It's really tit-for-tat.

Come on, victory belongs to the Red Devils." the local commentator in Manchester said happily
