Godfather Of Champions

Mourinho’s analysis was very correct. Although the Forest team defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the first round and scored two away goals, Dunn, who returned to the City Stadium, did not say that he would use offense to suppress Chelsea at his home court. , But adopted the forest team's best defensive counterattack tactics.

It's reasonable for Dunn to do so. With the total score leading, he doesn't need to madly press out and confront the enemy, otherwise it will create a void in the rear defense and give the opponent a chance to score. Defensive counterattack is the best way to switch the roles of yourself and your opponent, grasp the backward team’s desire to score as soon as possible, deal with them patiently, and then look at the right time for a fatal counterattack to further widen the score gap and completely eliminate The confidence and fighting spirit of the other party.

If you want to win, this is the safest way.

At the beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest at home played a defensive counterattack posture-they kicked off and only three people invested in the first offense. In the end, Van Nistelrooy was in the penalty area under Terry's close pressure. A hurried kick from outside, the king of the small restricted area greatly reduced the threat of getting out of the restricted area, and the kick became an anti-aircraft gun.

After hurriedly ending this offense, the forest team's offensive retreated like a tide surging ashore.

They set up a tight defensive formation in their second half, waiting for Chelsea to attack.

Dunn sat on the coach's bench and raised Erlang's legs. Chelsea will definitely be very anxious to press up. He only needs to wait for them to hand over the ball, and then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Chelsea seems to be playing exactly what he envisioned.

More than half of the Blues came up to participate in the attack, but so many people had no choice but to face the "barrel formation" in Nottingham Forest. After three passes and two fells, the ball was lost.

Zimbanda intercepted Robben's ball and passed it to Van der Vaart.

This is a great opportunity for the Forest Team to launch a counterattack!

The forest's excitement to the fans suddenly sounded from the stands.

They have seen such a scene countless times, and few teams can resist the rapid counterattack of the Forest team!

The football was still in the second half, and Van der Vaart passed it out in no hurry. He decided to observe the situation first...

Just when he looked up to confirm the location of his teammates, a sudden force of pressure struck him. Instinctively told him this was Chelsea's counter-grab, and in a hurry he tried to pass the football but he was empty!

"Makelele cut the ball! Van der Vaart was too careless. Does he think this is his own half and is safe?"

Van der Vaart suddenly lost the ball, and the Forest team suddenly fell into a very passive situation, because just now Ribery, Lennon, Eastwood and Van Nistelrooy all completed the action from defensive to offensive in an instant. At the moment they are sprinting towards the opponent's goal...

The forest team has insufficient defensive strength!

Makelele, who broke the ball, didn't let the football stay at his feet for another second, so he passed the football to Robben, who had already been inserted.

Facing the hastily challenged Zimbanda, Robben used his speed to overtake and overtake the Frenchman.

It was just a good situation that the Forest team was preparing to counterattack, but within a few seconds it became a Chelsea counterattack on the spot. The forest team did not expect this. The defensive organization was too rushed and too loose.

"Go to make up!" Piquet shouted to Kompany. The Belgian boy is the closest to Robben.

Kompany desperately ran to make up the defense, and Robben was already about to enter the penalty area. He decided to take a risky tackle, even if he was fouled, he would not be allowed to enter the penalty area.

Kompany, who was running at high speed, shoveled away to Robben.

Dunn, who saw this scene off the court, hugged his head. This is really the most reckless choice...

There is no doubt that Robben easily deducted Kompany who was putting the shovel, and then broke into the penalty area.

The cheers of Chelsea fans overwhelmed the fans of Nottingham Forest at this moment, and they saw the hope of scoring.

Robben raised his foot to pass, and the football was blocked by a leg just after the kick.

"George Wood!" Wood who rushed back blocked Robben's cross and resolved a crisis. Running from the midfielder position to the penalty area, he made a temporary cameo as a central defender.

Mourinho has stood up from his seat, he wanted to celebrate the goal, but in the end only saw a failed attack. He waved his hand in annoyance, and sat back down again.

Robben held his head with his hands in his hands. He could see clearly before breaking through Kompany. At that time, there were not many defensive players in front of the Forest. As long as the ball was passed to the goal, Drogba could stoke the ball. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the ubiquitous Wood appeared on the passing route.

This person is not much slower than himself...

"Chelsea got a corner kick in the first two minutes. They seem to want to be here? If that's the case, this game will be watched."

Van der Vaart apologized for losing the ball easily, but no one blamed him. Who would have thought that Makelele could rush to the 30-meter area to grab the ball? Everyone totally ignored the little black man.

Chelsea's corner kick was taken, and Kompany, who had been easily passed by Robben just now, planned to make up for it. He leaped up in the crowded penalty area and topped the football high above the admiral.

The players of Nottingham Forest did not receive the ball, but Essien, who was lying outside the penalty area, shot the ball directly in the air, trying to take advantage of the chaos to score.

The football hit Pikwe and was ejected again, this time it was Wood who received the ball. He was about to turn around and pass it to Ribery on the side, but he was pushed down from behind just as he turned around.

"This time it was Makelele's foul. He prevented a quick counterattack by the Forest team!"

The referee’s whistle sounded. This was a Chelsea foul, but as the commentator said, they used a trivial foul to prevent the Forest team from quickly counterattacking. Who has the greater loss? it goes without saying.

Wood, who was knocked to the ground, slapped the ground with some irritation. He was not mentally prepared for this collision. More importantly, he would be knocked out of the center and fell to the ground, giving the team a fast break. I am forced to end here.

At this time, a black hand appeared before his eyes.

Looking up, it turned out to be Makelele, the perpetrator.

Makelele smiled and stretched out his hand to him, a smile that made people not angry anyway. Wood didn't get angry about Makelele's foul, but he didn't accept his opponent's kindness either. He turned a blind eye to the hand reaching out and got up from the ground.

Makelele was not annoyed by Wood's attitude, he just smiled and ran away.

The Forest team received a free kick in the backcourt and Wood was ready to kick it. He stood in front of the ball and looked up at the situation ahead-except for the forward, all Chelsea players have returned to defense. Faced with such a situation, it will definitely not work if you want to play fast offense.

Wood had to kick the ball to Zimbunda on the wing, and the Forest team fell in the backcourt, looking for a way forward. Helplessly, the opponent has already set up the defensive formation, and it is not easy to find it again.

Van der Vaart waited for the ball to pass in front, but found that the football hadn't come for a long time, so he had to run back to meet it.

The offense of the Forest team found a suitable candidate. Wood passed the football to Van der Vaart and stayed behind to defend firmly.

Van der Vaart organized an offense after receiving the ball, but because the two wings needed to take into account the space behind him, the pressure was not thorough enough, and the offense was aborted.

As the game progressed, Dunn, who was sitting on the coach's bench, discovered one thing-it became very difficult for his team to move forward quickly when switching from defense to offense.

The reason is Chelsea's physical pressing and crazy fouls in the frontcourt.

The ill-prepared Forest team is very uncomfortable facing Chelsea's crazy dog-like full-court press, making frequent mistakes, let alone organizing a quick counterattack.

This is completely different from Chelsea's performance in the first round, and Dunn did not expect Mourinho to play this hand before the game. He turned to look at the visiting team coaching bench next door.

Mourinho was sitting on the coach seat with his legs cocked.

Dunn didn't get up and walked to the sidelines and yelled. He still didn't know what adjustments he should make. He just stared at the court and thought about countermeasures.

Chris Lak was very anxious about the situation. He got up from his seat, walked two steps out and sat back. In this way, I used my own actual actions to explain what is called "restlessness".

Dunn waved his hand: "David, can you sit down? My eyes are dazzling because of you."

"Uh, sorry..." Chris Lak did it again, "Tony, we are not doing well right now."

"Of course I know."

"I think adjustments should be made early."

"Of course I know this too."

"then you……"

"The problem is that I still don't know what adjustments to make..." Dunn muttered while looking at the court.

Chris Lak heard him say so, and stopped speaking, watching the game intently.

※※※

Mourinho’s tactics are indeed very effective. Through the frantic frontcourt, not only did the Forest team’s counterattack fail to come out, but also gave himself some opportunities to launch a counterattack on the spot, threatening Van der several times. Sa's goal guarded.

Just work harder and you will be able to blast open the gate of Nottingham Forest!

Mourinho turned his head to look for Dunn so thinking, he found that Dunn did not stand up to the sidelines to direct the game because of this unfavorable situation. He was still sitting on the chair, and the only change was to let Jiro's legs go. Come down.

He didn't believe that Dunn hadn't noticed such an obvious tactic. Now it's up to the opponent to make moves.

※※※

"A, fight with Chelsea, defend hard, guarantee not to lose the ball. This kind of full-court press is very physically demanding. When they are weak, the winner will naturally be us. B, change our offensive tactics and regain the midfield. Use our offense to suppress them." On the coaching bench, Dunn raised **** at the two assistant coaches. "Which one do you choose?"

Chris Lak thought about it for a while and said: "It sounds...I think A is more certain. Chelsea players will definitely enter a physical vacuum when they run like this in the second half of the second half, and they will be messed up both offensively and defensively. We press on again to attack, and just one goal can kill them!"

After listening to him, Dunn turned his head and asked Tang, "Which one do you choose?"

"B." Tang replied concisely.

"reason?"

"We can't guarantee that we will be able to defend by playing like A. Especially in the current situation... Chelsea seems to score at any time. Although the result is not clear, B can effectively reduce the defensive pressure." Tang analyzed .

Dunn nodded while listening, and he was more inclined to choose B.

"It must be adjusted, but it will take some time to carefully consider how to do it..."

"What we lack most now is time. Chelsea may score goals at any time." Tang reminded with a blank face.

※※※

While talking, Chelsea finally scored. Their tireless efforts opened up the forest team's so-called "indestructible reinforced concrete" defense.

A typical frontcourt press. After Lennon got the ball, he was still looking around, hoping that someone could come up to meet him. Unexpectedly, Chelsea rushed on to the two players in one breath, and after the chaotic lieutenant grabbed the ball, they immediately launched a counterattack.

Prior to this, Chelsea had several such opportunities, but unfortunately the last pass or the last shot was always a little too close.

This time, Drogba did not live up to the expectations of Mourinho, all his teammates, and all Chelsea fans. After receiving the ball, he decisively kicked the ball and the football flew into the goal from Van der Sar’s armpit.

The City Stadium was only cheered by Chelsea fans in a short time, and these people saw the dawn of advancement to the final!

"1:0! Chelsea scored the first goal in the away game, and Drogba tied the total score of the two sides to 2:2! But that is not enough! If Mourinho wants to go to Athens, he has to let the team score again. Ball and not let Nottingham Forest score!"

※※※

Looking at the Chelsea players celebrating wildly on the court, Dunn was not too angry, but gave Tang a blank look: "Crow's mouth."

Then he got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines, shouting the names of several people as the opponent celebrated the goal: "Wood! Van der Vaart! Come here!"

The two players heard the shout of the coach and ran from the far end.

"We change our strategy." Dunn pulled the two people to his side and exhorted. "Chelsea didn't want us to quickly pass the midfield to play behind them through the full court press. We won't pass the midfield quickly. The midfield of this game is the key. Get me back." He clenched his fist.

Van der Vaart asked: "How to grab, boss?"

"You are in charge of all the offensive organization of the Forest team." Dunn pointed to Van der Vaart and said, "Control the football and don't rush the football out. Our receivers will make mistakes of this kind under the pressure of the opponent. "

"But, Boss, this way we are more likely to be broken. Didn't you see that missed ball just now?" Van der Vaart objected.

"Of course I saw it, so I called two people instead of you." Dunn turned to Wood and said, "George, your only task in this game is to defend. I don't need you to participate in the offense, you know. ?"

Wood nodded.

"Your task is to protect Van der Vaart and the ball at his feet, to protect him from being robbed easily, and if the ball is lost, get it back to me. Do everything possible to create opportunities for Van der Vaart to take the ball for a long time, so that he is not Interfering organizational offense."

"no problem."

"The midfield is the key. You live, our wings and wings can fly." Dunn patted the shoulders of the two of them. "Don't worry about losing the ball. Since they scored our goal, the most The good way is to send the ball back-we will score one of them too! Go, their celebration is over."

The two ran back to the court, and the other players of the Forest team had placed the football on the midpoint, waiting for the Chelsea players to return.

On the surface, this loss did not affect them much. Maybe it's because even if it is 0:1 behind, this score will not cause them to be eliminated. Without those pressures in my heart, it was naturally much easier.

Another important reason is that it was only the seventeenth minute of the game. The Foresters believe that in the remaining seventy minutes, they will have many opportunities to score goals. After all, this is their home court.
