Wang Ai on the bench was naturally aware of the camera that swept from time to time, not only the big screen staring at the stadium was prompting him, but Huang Jianxiang's encouragement text message before the game also made him feel the expectations from domestic fans.More broadly, the managers of more than 30 advertising endorsement brands he is carrying are also eager for his good performance to use to rush for performance.Although Wang Ai was indifferent on the surface, the flame in his heart had been burning vigorously.Again, the two sides on the pitch are basically in good shape, not only do Porto still have Jose's assistant in the current coaching staff, but Porto also beat the team led by the former manager last season.While Jose took Carvalho, Ferreira and others with him, he also deeply stimulated the other players who stayed in the team: Why don't you take me to Chelsea to earn rubles?
What's wrong with me?
And newcomers such as Pepe and others can feel the traces left by Mourinho to Porto everywhere, and they are not very convinced.Chelsea are not the best team in Europe, but they are certainly the richest, or at least the most willing to spend money.The spirit of playing Chelsea is also a kind of self-promotion for players in Europe's second-rate leagues.So at the beginning of the game, it entered the fierce stage of head-on hard fighting.Chelsea are disciplined, relentless and determined, and Porto are almost unrecalled, but they are just as good on the pitch as they are today.So in addition to the relatively smooth opening ten minutes, the game began to be interrupted frequently, and the players on both sides continued to play tricks, either faking falls to fool the referee, or blocking, shoveling, tripping, and even handball!
In addition to the strict punishment for provoking himself, the referee of this game, Italian Santis, violated each other between players, and most of the big things were trivial.Drogba tripped Cordoba in the penalty area, and Gallas was ignored for handball in the penalty area.Instead, Robben muttered after being fouled, and he caught him and gave a yellow card.In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Jose, who was standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his face was grim and his brows were furrowed, he couldn't care about the offense for the time being, and under the leadership of Quaresma, McCarthy and others, he was struggling but also skillful to pounce on his defense line in waves, a defensive system that he spent endless energy on to gain a foothold in the ranks of the world's famous coaches.Even lone striker Didier Drogba was called back by him to fight for the high spot in the penalty area.Thanks to José's immense charisma and the team's thriving atmosphere, everyone, including Didier Drogba, obeyed his command and faltered under the onslaught of a visibly hyperactive Porto, but still managed to support it.Wang Ai, who saw this scene, even had a sense of déjà vu when he saw the Chinese team united.No matter how much money or honor, everyone is going all out on the field, at this time, no one cares about the salary, no one cares about the image, this is a battle of will and courage, and it is also a typical Jose style battle.Perhaps these players don't have much of a sense of belonging to Chelsea, nor do they have the emotional appeal of the glory accumulated by the century-old giants, however, Jose's emergence makes up for the lack of cultural history in the team, and gives the energy of these powerful professional players a unified direction with a real-life idol to be revered and followed.The suffocating game finally went into half-time after Santis' whistle, and Chelseamen, including Wang Ai, were secretly relieved.There was calm in the locker room, everyone was resting tiredly, occasionally waking up to drink a little water or see who had come in.Jose didn't say much, the opposition gave him a lot of trouble, such as freezing his wings together, and he is now in desperate need of players who can dribble flexibly and create chances in the opposition defensive system.Frank Lampard's presence has somewhat disguised Chelsea's lack of chance-creating ability up front.Because he often doesn't have to create chances carefully, he doesn't get to the most densely populated penalty area, and he shoots on goal.That's why he's often featured as a midfielder in the Premier League.But there is a problem, and once the crowd and the harassment of Frank Lampard is too close to his feet, the attack is hampered and the problem is magnified.At the same time, in terms of other personnel, Robben and Duff have the pace and dribble, but lack creativity, and Drogba and Crespo have the physicality and hard work, but also lack creativity, so Chelsea will be caught up in tough positional battles in attack.Mourinho's obsession with counter-attacking defences has led to the selection of speedy wingers such as Duff, Arjen Robben, Joe Cole and Wright, and if the opposition is drawn out, the opportunity will come.On the other hand, if the opponent is dead or alive, and there is a careful arrangement of opponents who are familiar enough with him, the difficulty of Chelsea's game will skyrocket.After the second half, the two sides exchanged venues, and the game was as usual, with both sides arranging heavy troops in their own half.With the addition of the home role of the Dragon Stadium, Porto obviously have a lot of experience in attacking Chelsea's defensive system, and at the same time did not hesitate to give the former manager a good look in defense, and the fouls and yellow cards on both sides were evenly divided.On utilitarianism and the next work, the senior brothers who are out of the same family, don't talk about the second!
By the 70th minute of the second half, two more yellow cards were given to Chelsea, showing that Chelsea had gradually exhausted their long-lasting, high-consumption defence.The serious Mourinho seems to have gradually given up on his intention of winning away from home and withdrew most of his troops.But just when everyone thought that this game would be intense but not exciting, and it would end 0:0 after all, Jose's crazy nature was once again revealed!
If you can be so conservative, you won't be the madman Jose, if you can bow your head and accept defeat, you won't be the madman Jose, if you can guess, you won't be the madman Jose!
Especially after being stimulated by the speeches made up and down Porto before the game.In the face of the old club, Jose can't say anything, but he is a typical cautious eye, very vindictive, and ready to step on the old club's face to be loyal to the new owner.After losing away to Porto last season, many tabloids speculated that he was showing mercy to his old club and licking his old club's face with his new club's money.Bah!
Arjen Robben was quickly replaced by Wright after receiving a yellow card, and a few minutes later, Duff, another winger who had been unable to make a contribution for a long time, also showed a posture of exhaustion, and Mourinho looked back at the bench from the sidelines and extended his index finger.The cameras of many TV stations followed Mourinho's index finger and saw the person who had been silent on the bench for more than two months, the 13th from China!
