Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 164

"Ancelotti is an Italian!"

Ronaldo can be said to wake up the dreamer with one word.Only then did Anton wake up suddenly: An Shuai himself is a great expert in "chain defense", and his team in front of Ancelotti, isn't it just the legendary "Luban with a big axe in front of the door"?

At this time, there were only two days left before the game at Stamford Bridge. Anton thought about it and simply "emptied" the team.

"The request for everyone in this game is to ask everyone to temporarily forget the previous tactics, don't think too much, and when you are on the court, you just use your own ability to grab and rush."

As soon as Anton finished speaking, the entire team, including the coaching staff, was dumbfounded.

Pickford wanted to cry without tears: In order to cope with various theoretical and practical exams, he had memorized all the knowledge points by heart, and secretly wrote a dense cheat sheet on the goalkeeper's gloves-now he wants to forget it So easy to do.

Vardy nodded and raised his hands in agreement. He remembered that Anton said that playing football is to forget everything and everything-as for the "what", he has long been unable to remember.

Only Russell said that he had already seen through everything, and the assistant coach smiled at everyone: "Look! Someone will definitely stay after we leave."

Anton's thoughts were seen through, and he couldn't help but nodded with a gentle smile: "Garner stays, Henderson stays, Eriksson stays." The head coach only reserved these three people for face-to-face instruction.

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things.The day before the game, Garner strained his thigh muscle in training and needed to rest for two weeks before returning to the game.So his position was handed over to the red-haired teenager Colbeck, and the captain's armband was handed over to the deputy Henderson.

At Stamford Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti and his team are completely stunned -

What about the agreed "chain" and the agreed zone defense?

As soon as the game started, Sunderland put on a formation that was clearly out of order.The position of each team member seems to be not fixed, left and right, front and back, and there seems to be no rules.

Sometimes Chelsea players lower their heads to control the ball, and when they raise their heads again, they are not the same person in front of them.

Chelsea player: ... Do I have face blindness?

However, these players have fast speed and strong impact. From the moment the referee whistled, they spared no effort to fight and constantly attack Chelsea's defense.

To describe it from the perspective of Chelsea players: It's like Sunderland playing more than one person.

In the first 15 minutes of the game, Chelsea were completely stunned by this stormy style of play.It wasn't until the 15th minute that Royce scored and Chelsea re-kicked off that the players were able to breathe a little.

Together they looked at captain Lampard on the field.Lampard himself had no choice but to signal his teammates to protect the ball as much as possible and not be easily intercepted by Sunderland.

But this is easier said than done-Sunderland's players moved too fast, and Chelsea often lost the ball before they advanced to the midfield.

Now that you have lost the right to the ball, hurry up and get it back! ——Sunderland did not allow Chelsea to do this. Once the Sunderland players lost the ball, they immediately counterattacked on the spot.

Chelsea's defender Ivan and goalkeeper Petr Cech were extremely busy. The opponent's threatening attacks followed one after another, and each time they were launched by different people at different locations.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.When the Chelsea players were struggling on the field, Ancelotti on the sidelines had already seen the way——

Sunderland's formation is chaotic, extremely chaotic; but the three midfielders, Henderson, Eriksson, and an unnamed red-haired kid, these three people have never been chaotic.They are like an axis, drawing a line in the midfield, and Sunderland's midfield and defense are clearly divided by this line.

The advancement and retreat of this line has always controlled the rhythm of Sunderland's attack.But the three players on this line switch positions so often that it doesn't seem so obvious in the messy pitch.

Ancelotti quickly took the opportunity of the dead ball to tell the captain Lampard all this, and asked Lampard to personally mark one of these three people.

But soon, both Ancelotti and Lampard realized that even this was difficult to do.These three people are simply "living and running". If you stare at one of them, Chelsea's own formation will soon be messed up.

Time passed too quickly, and just when Chelsea were trying to explore the opponent's "tactical intention", Reus scored the second goal and scored twice.It seems like this style of play is perfect for him.

Chelsea fans are stunned: sitting at the Blue Bridge at home, but swallowed two eggs in the first half?This is unacceptable anyway!

But Sunderland's two goals were clean and beautiful, impeccable.Moreover, Sunderland's players moved around on the field, running like the wind, and their formations were chaotic, but in the eyes of laymen, they played as if they were flowing, modern and beautiful.

Even if the Blues fans couldn't accept it, their grievances couldn't be directed at Sunderland.

During the intermission, Ancelotti explained Sunderland's "style of play" in detail with a tactical board in the locker room. After his mouth was dry, he looked at his players again, but saw everyone She looked at herself suspiciously: the opponent's style of play is understood, but how should I deal with it?

Ancelotti deserves to be a famous coach. He only thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Physical fitness!"

You know, Sunderland just completed a crazy goal battle with Tottenham four days ago.Under such intensity of competition

Anshuai snatched the statistics from the assistant coach and said, "Listen, in the first half, the entire Sunderland team ran 6 kilometers more than you. In the second half, they will definitely have a physical point. If you don’t make it, you will speed up and fight back!”

However, An Shuai's prediction seems to have come true.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Sunderland's physical fitness still seemed endless, and their players washed over Chelsea's defense repeatedly like a tide.This group of players is young and aggressive, the "physical node" that Chelsea's players want to wait for-but it seems that it just refuses to appear.

In fact, at this moment in the game, some of Sunderland's players have had physical problems. They can no longer sprint, chase and steal at the same speed as they did at the beginning of the game.Sunderland's substitutes have been warming up on the sidelines and are ready to make substitutions at any time.

But Chelsea may not be much better than them: the pressure of falling behind by two goals is there, and Chelsea players will definitely be booed by fans when they "walk" on the field. During this period of time, their consumption is not small.

In addition, the mental outlook of the two teams is also very different.Sunderland had two goals in hand, but continued to triumph.Especially their captain on the field, although young, obviously already has a strong appeal in the team, constantly using words and body to motivate his teammates to continue running, attacking and defending on the field.He himself practiced it himself, looking at the audience, no matter what time, he was the one who worked hard and worked hard.

Chelsea was under pressure to equalize, but couldn't score, and the whole team seemed very anxious.

Chelsea fans couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It's not that their captain Lampard's performance is not good; but it would be better if their "iron-blooded" captain Terry was there.

At this moment, Lampard took the ball, he took the ball himself, launched an attack from the backcourt, passed two Sunderland players who stepped forward to rob, and passed the ball to the French star Ane with a "bang". Alka.

Anelka quickly cut inside, Sunderland defender Godin came up to block, Anelka made a pass, the ball was a little bigger, and the ball had been hugged by the attacking goalkeeper Pickford.

Pickford got up quickly, rushed forward holding the ball, and drove out with a big foot.The ball flew over the head of the Chelsea midfielder and fell to the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

The ball was not received by the goalkeeper and Sunderland launched a counterattack, but it took only a second or two, which did not give the Sunderland players much time to start.There was only one person on the green field, wearing a red and white jersey, single-handedly facing the incoming ball, unloading the ball, and kicking towards the opponent's goal——

Vigorously miracle.

Even Petr Cech couldn't stop a powerful shot.The ball grazed the goalkeeper's fingertips and flew into the net.

Stamford Bridge sighed, only the away fans area was jubilant, as if it was boiling.

A three-goal win, a three-goal win—all the Sunderland fans who came to Stamford Bridge never imagined such a scenario before the game.

Chelsea, who lost the ball, seemed consciously unable to recover.The players were depressed, and the fans in the stands began to leave the field one after another... Only Lampard was still trying to run and steal, trying to score a face-saving goal.

But this score has been maintained until the end of the game.

On the sidelines, Anton opened his arms and hugged Ancelotti: "Carlo, I'm sorry..."

He didn't expect the game to be such a result. He originally expected Chelsea to score one or two goals.

Ancelotti shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Anton, you..."

He really wanted to take this opportunity to ask Anton carefully what was going on with his tactics.But at this moment, Ancelotti's mind flashed:

"I understand, I understand everything! Haha——" Ancelotti's originally gloomy mood suddenly became brighter, and it turned out to be like this: it seems messy and clueless, but there are traces to follow when you look closely, but if you really break it apart Crushed and looked carefully: This is really a group of young people kicking around by themselves. Anton's arrangement is just a frame for them.

"You really... beat the master to death!" Ancelotti laughed hahaha as if he had heard a great joke.

The author has something to say: just talk about the "traveling" of two cents.

We often hear the "random style", which means that when the president was still at Manchester United, Ferguson once created a "random style" fast counterattack style, which was composed of the president, Xiaopang and Carlos Tevez. The three lines go hand in hand, interspersed quickly, and it is an exclusive frontcourt "running around".After Tevez left, this style of play was no longer needed.

Later, Uncle Zha adopted the "high-position pressing" tactics in Dortmund and Liverpool. He pressed the opponent in a high position, pressed quickly, and kept his hunger for the ball at all times. It is a modern high-intensity style of play suitable for young people. People call this "random running", because the running is so fast, the whole scene looks like everyone is running wildly together.

What is written in this chapter... is the real "running around", facing the master of tactics, the "true" running around is adopted as a last resort.
