Looking at the situation on the field, just as he had arranged, Mourinho, who was sitting on the visiting team's coaching bench, couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile.
In fact, the midfielder played Lampard, who has stronger offensive attributes, and did not play Mikel and Ramirez, who had better defensive attributes. Mourinho had his own calculations.
Although at the home ground of Leicester City.
However, considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, Mourinho planned to turn the tables and attack the King Power Stadium for a while, trying to score goals as soon as possible.
After scoring a goal, you can then implement your best defensive counterattack tactics and you will be invincible.
Under this tactic, Lampard will frequently move forward and even get behind Torres, sitting in the role of a second forward, thus giving full play to his strength in shooting from behind.
Matic, who is behind, will take on most of the defensive tasks.
Among them, targeting Ling Feng to death was the death order Mourinho gave him!
In Mourinho's view, as long as Lingfeng, the main ball outlet, is restricted, Leicester City's central attack will be paralyzed and they can only rely on wing breakthroughs to open up space.
The defensive capabilities of Chelsea's two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Ivanovic, are also among the best in the Premier League.
It's not that easy for Leicester City to open a gap from the wing!
Such a proactive change of tactics really caught Leicester City off guard.
By watching the Chelsea game video, Leicester City head coach Pearson discovered that Mourinho's team mostly focused on defense at the beginning of the game and would not rashly launch a large-scale attack.
Therefore, all tactical arrangements before the game are based on this basis.
Unexpectedly, in this game, Chelsea actually attacked from the very beginning!
"This Portuguese is very bad!"
"No, we must quickly shrink our defense and resist this onslaught first!"
However, before Pearson came to the sidelines to greet the players, the situation on the court changed!
As Hazard continued to dribble on the left, Leicester City's right back De Wright and another central midfielder Andy King were dizzy and looked very embarrassed.
In desperation, the central defender could only come over to help defend.
However, just as Hazard burst into the penalty area with a move from left to right, the 20-year-old young center back Liam Moore was too impatient and wanted to stretch his legs to steal the ball, but kicked him directly in the penalty area. On Azar's calf.
Chelsea No. 17 immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
The next second, referee Paul Tierney, who was witnessing all this not far away, decisively blew his whistle and raised his hand to point to the penalty spot!
"Penalty kick!"
"Hazard was kicked down in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty!!"
"It is indeed a penalty-making machine!"
When he first arrived in England last season, Hazard was the player with the most breakthroughs and penalty kicks in the entire Premier League!
And this time, he showed his ability in the FA Cup...
Seeing the referee's penalty, tens of thousands of home team fans in the King Power Stadium burst into uniform boos.
They didn't care that Azar was clutching his leg in pain and lying on the grass wailing.
These fans directly greeted Hazard:
"Oh no!"
"What is that kid doing?! Why is he stretching his legs?!"
"Fake! This is a flop!"
Although this foul is very obvious.
And the replay on the big screen can clearly see that Moore took the initiative to kick Hazard down with his leg.
However, as the team captain, Morgan still stepped forward to defend the referee.
And young center back Moore, who had a rare chance to start, also tried his best to explain that it was Hazard who bumped into him and it was none of his business.
However, referee Paul Tierney was unmoved and firmly awarded a penalty kick and showed Moore a yellow card.
After signaling the Leicester City players to stay away from him, he began to signal the Chelsea players to take penalty kicks.
Chelsea's first penalty taker is Lampard.
England's best goal-scoring midfielder didn't waste the opportunity and scored in one fell swoop!
With a powerful volley, the ball went into the lower left corner of the goal at great speed.
Schmeichel could only watch the ball and sigh.
Less than eight minutes into the game, Chelsea took the lead with Lampard's penalty kick!
"One to zero!"
"Chelsea got off to a fantastic start playing away from home!"
While the Chelsea players were celebrating in the corner flag area, captain Morgan and Vardy were raising their arms to encourage their teammates who were disappointed after conceding the goal:
"It doesn't matter, the game has just begun!"
"Yes, we still have time!"
"Get serious!"
With the shouts of his teammates and the singing of the away team's fans echoing in his ears, Ling Feng's brain began to work crazily.
At this moment, he only had one thought:
How can he help the team beat Chelsea and win this game?
. . .
After traveling through time, even if he had a plug-in like the system, Ling Feng did not place all hope of becoming stronger on the system.
In his opinion, the system is just a catalyst to make him stronger faster.
To truly become a strong professional player, you must put in enough effort and sweat!
To play football, in addition to using your feet, you also need to use your brain.
Therefore, whether in training or in competition, Ling Feng is thinking all the time.
How should this action be done to better connect to the next step? How should the ball be passed to create a direct threat? How should the offense be moved to better connect with teammates...
It is this kind of proactive thinking that gives Ling Feng a clear understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.
His strengths include high passing accuracy, diverse passing methods, top-notch movement without the ball, and strong running ability;
The disadvantages are poor physical confrontation, average defensive ability, average foot skills, and average finishing ability.
According to the various types of midfielders in today's football, Ling Feng positions himself as the core of the frontcourt organization, equivalent to the tenth position.
Reduce individual dribbling and be responsible for linking up frontcourt attacks to create opportunities with passes to threaten the opponent's goal.
And he knows very well that his current physical confrontation ability is simply not good enough.
Not to mention the tall and powerful Matic, who couldn't even hold Oscar, the weakest player in Chelsea's squad.
So, with Matic focused on marking himself, how should he break the situation?
Fortunately, this is not the first time that Ling Feng has been targeted.
In the last game against Leeds United, he was also followed by the opponent's midfielder, but he still showed a perfect performance of passing and shooting to help the team win the game.
This time, he could use the same approach.
The way to break the situation is to retreat and change positions!
As long as he retreats to his own half to get the ball, Matic, who is single as a defensive midfielder, will not dare to continue to follow.
Because once he follows, there will be a large space in Chelsea's midfield position.
If Matic does not follow, he can switch positions with Mahrez on the right to make a threatening pass towards the goal on the right.
However, this method requires the cooperation of teammates.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng waved to Mahrez who was not far away and shouted:
"Riyad! Come here!"
