"Let me check, what kind of medicine did these guys take during halftime?" He made a sudden stop and changed direction to avoid Carrick's pressing. Before Joe Cole could breathe a sigh of relief, he was pressed again. Then Kompany became entangled, "It was only a fifteen-minute break. Why did they become so lively all of a sudden?"
Joe Cole's doubts are also the doubts in the minds of all Chelsea players at this moment. After the game started in the second half, Chelsea players planned to continue Tottenham's counterattack in accordance with coach Ranieri's plan at halftime. After all, even if Tottenham recovered a point before the end of the first half, Chelsea would still be in the lead. Not to mention, after spending an impressive halftime in that poor visiting team dressing room, Tottenham players will have some anger in their hearts and need to vent it in the second half of the game. .
Therefore, it is obviously a very reasonable choice to shrink the defensive line to induce Tottenham players to press forward and then attack the opponent's counterattack as they did at the beginning of the first half.
However, after the start of the second half, the development of the game was beyond the expectations of the Chelsea players - Tottenham did press the attack as they expected, and the backcourt did expose a large area that could be used for quick counterattacks. However, at this time, Chelsea players discovered to their dismay that they could not organize a threatening counterattack at all!
attack! attack! attack! Tottenham players continued the offensive momentum from the second half of the first half in the second half. After everyone got the ball, they would distribute the ball to the two wings as soon as possible, allowing Heinze, Karl, and Bierovka to score. People come to attack. And when Bierovka and the others were surrounded by Chelsea players on the wing, Carrick would appear around them in time and use the most concise passing combination to help them get out of trouble, allowing Tottenham's offense to continue. Keep it going!
And when Tottenham failed to attack or the ball was unfortunately stolen by a Chelsea player, everyone, including Bierovka, who dislikes defending the most, would immediately counterattack and double-team the player holding the ball. , and blocked the opponent's passing route, preventing Chelsea from successfully launching a counterattack. Once they are surrounded by them in the frontcourt, Tottenham players will immediately go one step further and launch an offensive directly on the spot to attack Chelsea's gate!
From a team commander who sits in the middle to a supporting midfielder who runs all over the field, on the surface, it seems that Carrick's status in the Tottenham team has declined, even worse than in Western Han Dynasty. When MLB gave Joe Cole the second spot in the midfield, in fact, everyone with a discerning eye could see that Carrick was the most indispensable in George's tactical system - without him With just the right support and timely passing to control and adjust Tottenham's offensive rhythm and direction, even if they adopt frontcourt pressing tactics, it will be difficult for Tottenham to maintain such a strong momentum for such a long time after the start of the second half. The offensive force forced Chelsea to have no time to launch a counterattack!
Now, Andy Gray and Lineker, who are sitting in the live broadcast room, obviously belong to the category of "discerning people": "I really didn't expect that the player Carrick actually has such potential. If If he still has some shadows of the classical organizing midfielder in the previous games, then the Carrick we saw tonight is undoubtedly showing us the future development direction of the modern organizing midfielder!"
"Yes, for traditional organizational midfielders, such as Zidane and Rui Costa, although they also run a lot in the game, it is undeniable that if you want to maximize their strength, The entire team must work closely around them. Tonight, Carrick integrated himself into the entire team, using running and passing to make the team's offense more interesting. It’s smoother, rather than having the team revolve around him!”
"From this point of view, Joe Cole has obviously been left behind by his former follower. For example, in Chelsea's failed counterattack just now, Cole stood waiting for his teammates before the ball was passed to his feet. Pass the ball to him instead of approaching him to form a connection..."
"However, this style of play is a very severe test for Carrick's physical fitness." Lineker, a professional player, quickly discovered a drawback of this style of play. "If Carrick is asked to play every day, Maintaining this intensity of playing in every game will definitely put a considerable burden on his body... In the long run, I am worried that Carrick will die prematurely due to excessive fatigue before he reaches the peak of his career. .”
"Gary (Lineker), are your worries a bit too much?" Seeing a rare oversight by his commentator partner, Andy Gray said jokingly, "Don't forget, the Tottenham team But Carrick is not the only organizing midfielder. Basturk and Jamie Redknapp are also outstanding in this position!"
"Yes! How could I have forgotten those two!" Hearing Andy Gray's reminder, Lineker was also a little embarrassed. "If they and Carrick rotate, then Tottenham don't have to worry. Carrick has health issues."
"..." Andy Gray didn't want to say anything more about Lineker who made frequent slips of the tongue tonight.
It is naturally impossible for Andy Gray and Lineker to hear this commentary from Carrick who is fighting on the court and Basturk who is waiting for George's dispatch on the bench, but their words However, the words were recuperated at home. Little Redknapp, who was watching the live broadcast, heard everything clearly. Little Redknapp immediately felt quite speechless and dissatisfied - since when did he, who was once the proud man of English football, He has to be ranked behind the two juniors Carrick and Basturk in the order of appearance? !
Just as Andy Gray and Lineker were evaluating the changes and impact Carrick's changes had brought to Tottenham, the stands at Stamford Bridge suddenly began to make noise. But less than a minute later, the stands suddenly became silent again, with only thousands of fans wearing Tottenham jerseys cheering and celebrating happily in a corner of the stands!
Obviously, after nearly 20 minutes of furious attack, Tottenham Hotspur finally cracked Chelsea's turtle shell - in the 63rd minute of the game, Joe Cole was attacked by Kompany and Speed. After joining forces and losing the ball at their feet, Tottenham launched an attack on the spot. Stephen Carr's 45-degree cross was saved by Terry who was guarding the penalty area!
However, the ball pushed out by Terry was caught by Carrick who had just rushed to the outside of the penalty area. The latter made a slight adjustment and did not wait for Makelele's defense to be in place before he shot directly 25 meters away from the goal. Cold arrow!
The ball hit by Carrick flew close to the turf and roared towards Chelsea's goal. On the way, it escaped Terry's flying interception and Cudicini's fierce save, and then plunged into the goal behind Cudicini. In the gate, two to two!
Seeing that his two-goal lead was gone, the changes in the situation on the field naturally caused Ranieri to panic. After a battle between heaven and man, Tinker, who was worried that taking the initiative would put more pressure on the team's defense, finally gave instructions to defend the counterattack, and at the same time asked Makelele and others to pay attention to protecting the defense. In the area near the penalty area, don't give Carrick and others the opportunity to easily take long shots.
Looking at Tottenham again, after Carrick scored the equalizer goal, George did not make the decision to let the team slow down the offense or return to defensive counterattack. Instead, he waved his hand and ordered the team to Continue to attack in the next time!
George knew in his heart that if this method was not adopted to allow the team to suppress Chelsea in the game and force Ranieri, who was worried about the team's defensive problems, to make the decision to let the Blues continue to focus on defensive counterattack tactics, then the defensive pressure would be greatly reduced. The Blues regained their composure and were soon able to take advantage of their overall strength and regain the initiative in the game!
To put it bluntly, George is betting now that Ranieri does not dare to face Tottenham in this game. In other words, they dare not compete with Tottenham for control of the midfield at the expense of part of the team's defense. If Chelsea really dares to do this and use Gallas to replace the aging Desailly to strengthen the mobility of the defense, Tottenham will be really difficult to win this game.
Although it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with the choice of tinker, after all, facing Tottenham who are heavily pressing on the empty defense and almost completely relying on on-the-spot counterattacks and frontcourt pressure to barely ensure that the defense does not have problems, most head coaches will adopt The same approach as Ranieri, but this time, Ranieri's conservative approach did not bring Chelsea the points and victory they needed!
Especially when Drogba assisted Robbie Keane in the 81st minute of the game and scored the goal that helped Tottenham take the lead, Ranieri's eyes darkened and he also understood in his heart that this game The game is over!
In the end, after 90 minutes of hard work, Tottenham Hotspur, playing away from home, fought back from being two goals behind and scored three goals in the remaining time to reverse the victory and give Chelsea new players. The first defeat of the season also ended our team's history of losing three consecutive league games!
In this way, with the sound of glasses shattering on the ground, the "Tottenham Hotspur" Nelson-class battleship sank the heavily built "Chersky" at Stamford Bridge Stadium, marking its first big test. Handed over a jaw-dropping report card!
