Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 110

When Messi got up and started warming up on the sidelines, the competition on the field was no longer the focus.The broadcast signal frequently cut to the sidelines, and the fans in red and blue at Wembley Stadium also began to clamor.

Chelsea's players were also more or less distracted, and their eyes slipped to the bench from time to time.Many players are calculating in their minds when Messi will appear on the field-maybe the next "dead ball" will appear, so it's time for the superstar to play, right?

But to everyone's surprise, Messi was wearing a vest, ran back and forth on the sidelines, moved his arms and legs, came to Anton's side, and exchanged a few words with his head coach.

Everyone was expecting Sunderland to make a request to the fourth official to replace Messi.

But who knew that at this time, Messi nodded to Anton, as if agreeing to something, and then sat back on the bench.To be exact, in the midst of the high expectations, Messi sat back calmly.

Andy Gray was dumbfounded watching in the live broadcast room, and his partner Richard Keith said loudly: "Yes, you read that right, Messi sat back, he sat back..."

Many Chelsea players couldn't help but want to swear at this time: Don't bring such a thing!Don't stand up and sit down like this!

At this moment, even Lampard, who is as stable as a magic lamp, made a rare pass error. The ball flew through the air two yards above his teammate's head and went out of the touchline.

So Sunderland got another throw-in.

In this way, the first half was spent in a surprise surrounding Messi.In the last few minutes, Messi got up again and was active on the sidelines wearing a vest. His existence seemed to create a kind of air pressure, which repeatedly kneaded the opponent's nerves invisibly.

But Sunderland just didn't mean to make a substitution!

This is really a desperate person!

It's strange to say that Chelsea would never be so passive even in the face of the Barcelona team; but this time facing Sunderland, who has not yet hung up the "plug-in", Chelsea is not calm enough.

The two dedicated "famous mouths" in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, in order to explain the Sunderland game well this season, found a Sinology expert to add a few idioms.So at this moment, Andy Gray scratched his scalp and said, "Chelsea, isn't it a bit of a 'flying grass' this time?"

——Before this game, whether it was the media or the Chelsea coaching staff, Chelsea players had instilled too much content about Messi.These were either unintentional or to better prepare Chelsea for games.These have more or less affected the psychology of Chelsea players.

The players are ready to challenge Messi at any time. Once Messi plays, his position and tactics will change accordingly. Therefore, Messi’s every move affects their nerves at any time and interferes with their rhythm. ...

Therefore, the rhythm of the game is completely under the control of Sunderland.

In the only minute of stoppage time in the first half, Royce scored his first goal to join Sunderland. Shaqiri made a pass, and Vardy, who was facing the goalkeeper and Terry, deliberately missed the ball. At the foot of Royce, the young man raised his foot and pushed gently——

The ball is in!

Entering lightly and delicately, entering wonderfully!

The young man ran behind the goal with open arms to celebrate. Behind him was a series of teammates wearing red and white arrow shirts. In front of us, the stands of Wembley Stadium were full of red and white eyes—this is a Sunderland fan. district.Seeing the new aid score in his first show, the stands immediately became a sea of ​​joy.Fans changed the lyrics of "Flanagan's Song" slightly, and it became "Royce's Song" again.

"You came here across the ocean,

to hear our voices,

Royce, oh dear Royce,

You let us meet at first sight..."

The TV broadcast fixed Royce's handsome face for a long time, handsome and slightly retro hairstyle... This young man looks unstoppable, he can conquer not only England fans, but also Get on the fashion world here.

As soon as Chelsea kicked off, the referee on duty blew the whistle for halftime, and the two sides returned to the dressing room.

When the Chelsea players walked back, they couldn't help but look for the "culprit" Messi on the Sunderland bench, but that guy had long since disappeared and went back to the locker room.

After the intermission, the Chelsea players came out of the dressing room calmly.The famous coach Ancelotti, who is much more "spicy" than Lao Jiang, has stabilized the emotions of the players-the opponent is just a newly promoted, no matter whether Messi is on or not, just treat the opponent as a newly promoted psychologically.

Now this Chelsea team, last season's Premier League champions, beat Sunderland by more than one notch in terms of strength and player value.So what if the opponent has a Messi?Chelsea really don't have to be surprised by a player who is more than just able to cooperate with his teammates.

Besides, in the first half, Messi got up and sat down for a while, which was obviously "to tease you". It is estimated that Sunderland is not ready for Messi to play.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Chelsea obviously stabilized their position.

Lampard's pass resumed its precision, Drogba's running range was great, and Anelka swam in front of Sunderland's goal, threatening Sunderland's goal at every opportunity.

In the 49th minute, Anelka shot at the center post. If it weren't for the help of Wembley Stadium's goal post, Sunderland's goal would have been declared lost.

At this time, Messi started warming up on the sidelines with his vest on, moving his arms and legs, running back and forth...

Chelsea remembered Ancelotti's advice and remained unmoved-this should be the first.Messi still wants us to be fooled again?

Unexpectedly, not long after, the fourth official next to him had already raised his card, and Sunderland replaced two people at once, replacing captain Garner and Shaqiri, and replacing them with Messi and Colbeck.The Wembley Stadium burst into thunderous cheers, and many fans wearing Messi jerseys shouted the names of their idols excitedly in the stands.

The Chelsea players were all stunned: It should be a smoke screen, why did they really play again this time?

This feeling is: Messi played "cheat" twice, but didn't play. When he really played, the Chelsea players couldn't believe it.

Captain Garner handed the captain's armband to Henderson when he left the field, patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him to continue to work hard, and then replaced the red-haired teenager Colbeck.Shaqiri gave Messi a high-five, and he, the "Swiss Messi", happily handed over the task of the game to himself.

The Chelsea players and the coaching staff watched with wide-eyed eyes. Is this two matchup substitutions?

Shaqiri originally played on the left, but now Sunderland is... let Messi play as a winger?Would it be a little overkill?

Ancelotti shook his head, thinking that the answer should not be that simple: that kid Anton is very cunning, since he let Messi play, he should have fully thought out how to use Messi.

Sure enough, after Messi came on the field, Sunderland's formation changed. Vardy was originally in the middle, but now he moved to the left-Messi looks like a center forward, running in the 9th position.

But... this No. 9 seems to be in a relatively rear position, so there must be something wrong.

However, Colbeck and captain Garner are a match-up substitution, and Sunderland's formation generally maintains a 433 position.

Ancelotti jumped up on the sidelines, turned around, grabbed a backcourt substitute, murmured a lot to him, and then hurried to communicate with the fourth official, preparing to take advantage of this Sunderland substitution If there is an opportunity, replace the players who have already "taught the opportunity face-to-face".

But it was too late, Sunderland had already thrown the ball out of bounds, and the game continued.

The ball fell to the feet of Colbeck who had just played. His position was higher than that of Flanagan, and he could assist Flanagan in defense if necessary, so as to avoid a "colander" on this side if necessary.Some Chelsea players stepped forward to intercept, blocking Colbeck's pass to Messi.

Colbeck made the natural choice and passed the ball to Henderson next to him.

Henderson plugs the ball to Eriksen.

Eriksson was restricted from playing the ball and was forced to take the ball around in a circle under pressure, but the ball was still firmly under his feet.

Ancelotti shouted loudly from the sidelines, but unfortunately the stadium was too noisy. Several players near the Chelsea midfield could only hear their coach shouting: "Be careful...be careful..."

Everyone is very careful? !

Didn't Sunderland players have a chance to pass the ball to Messi?

But at this moment, Messi retreated to get the ball.

Eriksson breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the ball reaches Messi's feet, it seems to be stuck.

Ancelotti stomped his feet and sighed on the sidelines, thinking that Sunderland is obviously not Barcelona, ​​why does it feel like playing in Barcelona when Messi plays?

He watched Messi approaching the goal, knowing that even if he reminded him again, the Chelsea players would have no time to deal with it.

False nine, Messi is playing the false nine that he has been handy since he dreamed of three Barcelona.

Unexpectedly, Sunderland had already arranged corresponding tactics in such a short preparation time, and put Messi in "that" position.The point is that this tactical arrangement is not a "copy", but that Sunderland coach Anton has fully understood Guardiola's tactical intentions, and at the same time let all Sunderland's midfielders use it. Thorough understanding, picked the most suitable person to cooperate with Messi——

Ancelotti sighed in his heart: too fast!

As a head coach, Anton's "learning" ability is really amazing.

The people off the court thought "too fast", and the people on the court thought the same way.

The Chelsea players watched as Messi passed the two in a flash.

Captain Terry and central defender Ivan stepped forward to block at the same time, followed by Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech.But Messi hit the ball horizontally without hesitation, and the ball instantly reached the unguarded Vardy's feet.

The conscientious captain Terry stepped forward desperately to block the hole of the gun.Unexpectedly, Vardy was not greedy for credit at all, and knocked the ball back to Messi.Messi, who had passed Ivan, took the ball to face Cech, and raised his foot in one fell swoop——

Wembley Stadium immediately erupted with an astonishing explosion of color.

Wonderful!Bravo.

Messi played, and within 2 minutes, he had made contributions to Sunderland.

The two "famous mouths" in the live broadcast room, Richard Keith was clapping the table to applaud, while Andy Gray shook his head and continued to repeat his famous quote——

"Your uncle is still your uncle!"

The author has something to say: Regarding the false No. 9, it is probably that the center forward in the No. 9 position will retreat to get the ball, increasing the control and organization of the midfield.At the same time, this false No. 9 also needs to assume the responsibilities of No. 9 and be able to complete the final blow.Therefore, the requirements for the personal ability of the fake 9 are higher than that of the general 9.In recent years, basically only Messi in the Barcelona system can take on this position. ——From a pseudo-fan author who doesn't understand tactics and is still a bit confused after checking the information for a long time.
