This ordinary Premier League game was likened to a "thin red line" by many media after the game, mainly referring to the long shots of Robben, Lampard and Wang Ai before and after the penalty area line.After the game, Robben completed a total of 7 long-range shots, Wang Ai 6 times, Lampard long-range shots and direct free kicks 8 times, the three completed a total of 21 times, including as many as 10 times in the range of the goal frame, and finally Wang Ai a long-range shot plus a goalkeeper rush, Lampard a direct free kick, and Robben completed an assist.The main reason for this situation is Sheffield United's ferocious scramble and the weakness of Chelsea's attacking fulcrum.Didier Drogba was in poor form in successive games, and Kalou Jr., who came off the bench at half-time, was also lost in Sheffield United's octagon.In this case, the Chelsea midfielder, who was unwilling and did not want to play hand-to-hand combat with Sheffield United, relied on the delicate footwork of Robben, Frank Lampard and Wang Ai to penetrate the fierce opponent with accurate long-range shots.The fierce battle with Reading half a month ago caused Chelsea to lose the first goalkeeper, second goalkeeper and substitute striker, and even Robben and Wang Ai were slightly injured, which made Jose once again deeply aware of his and Chelsea's mocking physique.Especially when encountering promoted horses, elevator teams, and "yo-yos", these poor ghosts all treat Chelsea as a clearance boss and beat them to death.Anyway, it's not a shame to lose, and you win a million profits!
So in order to avoid no one available in the second half of the season, Jose had to make compromises, fortunately he has enough cards in his hand, since you and I play cavalry charge, then I will play with you to line up and shoot!
There were also a number of Chelsea players who were violated in this game, Jose also jumped on the sidelines angrily, but in the end no one was injured, Drogba, who was a little injured, did not get worse, and the fierce Sheffield United also fell under Jose's "thin red line tactic", and his adventure achieved another big victory.It was one of the few attacking moments for Jose's side in a few seasons, with 62% possession, 26-9 shots on goal, 11:4 on target and 0:2 yellow cards, which was a complete win by any measure.Of course, Jose's complaints are still the same, such as the number of times I don't know how many times it is not conducive to Chelsea's penalty scale, Sheffield United has made many big moves, pushes, and handballs, but a wonderful assist by Joe Cole was blown offside.This is the case with Chelsea now, with UEFA malice, FA tricks and the "self-exertion" of many small teams.The interior is also not calm, there is not only the disagreement between the authoritarian boss and the unruly coach, but also the mouth of the most popular Sheva and the most capable scorer Wang Ai, as well as the spring of the "lucky one" Hilario and the three-year-long late autumn of the "second of ten thousand years" Cudicini...... and the often late Nigerian genius Mikel's "What time is it?"
”and Czech's "Who am I?"
from the Czech Republic, who is having amnesia. ”Of course, there are also "Captain Forever" Terry's "Let's Play Together", "Magic Lamp" Lampard's "Don't make trouble, it's good", always injured Joe Cole + Robben's "What broken team doctor", always scolded Carvalho + Ferreira's "What broken newspaper", and even Makelele who wants to retreat + Wright who wants to enter but not let go "What breaks the national team......
This makes Chelsea like a grenade about to explode, hostile both internally and externally, yet able to maintain an unstable stability, or "instability" of stability.In the midst of these contradictions, the most important event in October has come, the fourth game of the Champions League group stage, against Barcelona, to Camp Nou!
Chelsea won last season because of Wang Ai, but the process was full of twists and turns.The elegance of Barcelona and Rijkaard has bewildered many, and the huge network is unattainable for Chelsea, so much so that every collision between the two sides is a total offensive and defensive battle from on and off the pitch, from inside and off the pitch.Jose bravely took all the team members, including Terry, under his wings and jumped out alone to face the world; Rijkaard hid behind the scenes, allowing his players and fans to attack Jose in an all-out way.If you want to be shameless, no one on either side should say anything about anyone.Relatively speaking, Chelsea, who only knows how to mix sand and pour cold water on the home stadium, is still more straightforward, and Barcelona, who plays referee tactics, obviously knows better what it means to "football is round".For Wang Ai, he usually does not participate in the war of words, he has been the bitter master of Barcelona for several years, one of the targets of the fire, if he can be low-key, he will be low-key, and if he can't be low-key, he will try to let Jose pull hatred, anyway, no one will shovel him.For Wang Ai, the takeaway from this game is not only that he will start again, but also that he has received additional good news: Sheva is not yet well......
Although he teamed up with Barak to blast, turned the tide in personal prestige, and re-raised the flame of hope to compete with Wang Ai, but then fell ill and injured, and continued to truce, and then even if he returned, his state was interrupted.The little flame that the Ukrainian had managed to light with all his might was shaking again, and his sponsors were so mad that they wanted to kneel down and beg him, but it was said that "Ukraine does not believe in tears......
Jose fielded his strongest line-up for this game, and Chelsea's most familiar attacking system: central striker Didier Drogba, left winger Wang Ai, right winger Arjen Robben, forward Frank Lampard, midfielder Makelele, Ballack, centre-back John Terry, Carvalho, left-back Ashley Cole, right-back Bora Luz, goalkeeper or Hilario.Rijkaard also sent his strongest lineup, Ronaldo, Messi, Gudjohnsen formed the front trident, Deco, Xavi, Motta formed the midfield, Puyol, Marquez, Zambrotta, Van Bronckhorst formed the back line, and the goalkeeper was Valdés.Both sides are full of aggressive 433, which shows that at least no one bowed their heads before the game, and Barcelona's youngster Messi even said: "Barcelona will win 2:0!"
”Jose ignored Messi's provocation, but instead reminded reporters from all walks of life to pay attention to how many 11-10s there were at Camp Nou, reminding everyone that Gudjohnsen, who had just arrived in Barcelona for three months, had already learned to fake a wonderful fall......
In the midst of the distraction, the attention of the game skyrocketed, and when the whole Chelsea squad landed at Barcelona Airport a day early, they were once again surrounded by an agitated Catalan, with banners, flags, noise and name-calling all around.In the words of John Terry and Frank Lampard, the 'battle between Chelsea and Barcelona' now surpasses the intensity of the Spanish national derby.Wang Ai agrees that although Chelsea's style of play is far from that of Real Madrid, the two have one thing in common that is easily overlooked: their supporters are "fake" high society.This was instinctively disgusting to the Barcelonans, who represented the rebellion.()
