"Goooooool! Gary Speed! The veteran used an extremely wonderful long-range shot to penetrate Akinfeev's fingers, helping Tottenham establish a one-goal lead!" Seeing the score finally appeared on the field After hearing the change, Andy Gray immediately shouted passionately into the microphone. Since Chelsea has always been unable to open up the situation on the offensive end, Tottenham players have devoted a lot of energy to defense and confrontation, and the number of troops available for quick counterattacks has also been reduced a lot. Therefore, although the game is extremely fierce, the head coaches of both sides are tactically and psychologically The level of fighting is also extremely exciting, but for most fans, such match scenes are a bit dull and boring - after all, the most important thing for most fans to watch football matches is to see the team they support win. , and secondly, I hope that the game process will be exciting enough and score enough goals to give them the passion to persevere.
That's why Andy Gray was so excited after Speed scored. Because as long as the balance of the game is broken by one of the sides, the side that is lagging behind will inevitably take the initiative in the next time to avoid the fate of defeat. In this way, the game scene will become much more beautiful!
"Speed is truly a famous evergreen in the Premier League. In today's Community Shield final, he not only withstood Chelsea's powerful offensive on the defensive end, but also contributed a goal that broke the deadlock on the offensive end. After praising Speed's wonderful performance, Martin Taylor analyzed the game situation with a serious expression, "To be honest, the situation facing Chelsea has become quite serious now. If Coach Mourinho is in If changes cannot be made as soon as possible in the next time, then Chelsea's desire to stand on the podium at the end of the game will undoubtedly be a fantasy!"
"Damn it, I was fooled!" Seeing the Tottenham players celebrating the goal on the sidelines and the extremely eye-catching score on the big screen, how could Mourinho not realize that he had fallen into the trap set by George? However, the Portuguese madman did not have the time or leisure to curse George, who in his opinion was as cunning as a fox. Because as Martin Taylor said, he knows that making adjustments to the team's tactics and getting the team back on track is the top priority!
After figuring this out, Mourinho immediately called Franck Ribery, who was closest to him, over for a face-to-face meeting. He asked the Frenchman to inform others on the court to resume the regular style of defensive counterattack with both wings flying together, using the width and width of the court. Speed's defense and slow-moving weaknesses attack Tottenham's defense, thereby posing a threat to Tottenham's gate!
Mourinho's reaction is not unpleasant. If it were not him sitting in this position at this time, but McLaren's reaction speed is always several beats slower than his opponent's or Ancelotti's who is not good at spotting If the head coach is in charge, then they may have to wait for a while until things fall into an irreversible situation before they realize that something is wrong. However, although Mourinho's adjustment can stop the Blues' decline, it is still unknown whether it can help Chelsea reverse the current situation!
You know, Chelsea has never been a team known for its strong offensive firepower. Under the influence of Gullit, Vialli and Ranieri, three coaches who have been influenced by Italian football ideas for eight years, the Blues have already formed a football style based on defense and solving opponents through quick counterattacks. It cannot be changed easily.
Mourinho's outstanding coaching ability is certainly one of the reasons why Mourinho was able to achieve success at Chelsea so quickly and led the Blues to regain the league championship after half a century last season. The main reason is that the Portuguese coach's tactical thinking matches Chelsea's style very well. At the same time, Abramovich opened his pockets and spent a lot of money to buy many players that fit the madman's team-building plan according to Mourinho's wishes, which greatly strengthened Chelsea's combat effectiveness. And the depth of the bench, as well as the main competitors such as Manchester United and Arsenal, began to decline last season, leaving the Blues with only Tottenham as a strong enemy in the domestic arena. But in more than a year, Chelsea's offensive power has not been improved much under Mourinho's training!
Therefore, when they are one goal behind and their opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, which is famous for its strong defense in Europe, it is undoubtedly a matter for Chelsea, who has obvious deficiencies in offense, to try to equalize the score or even complete the reversal after strengthening the defense. Extremely difficult thing!
However, although Chelsea did not have many defensive methods against Tottenham, facing Chelsea's airtight steel defense line, Tottenham players also felt that they had no choice but to speak. The central defender combination of Gallas and Terry is extremely comprehensive. Not only can they complete their respective defensive tasks well on the court, but they can also help their teammates to defend and fill positions in a timely manner. Lampard, Makelele and Essien blocked the front of the defense airtight, making it difficult for Tottenham, who did not dare to invest too much offensive force, to get the chance to threaten their own goal outside the penalty area. The presence of the two full-backs Ferreira and Del Horno is like two extremely strong locks on Chelsea's two wings. In this way, even with the strong one-on-one abilities of Robben, Drogba and Ronaldo, it is difficult to create a threat under this level of defense!
No matter how many people say that Ferreira relied on the mentoring relationship with Mourinho to surpass Glen Johnson and become Chelsea's main right back, in George's view, Ferreira is in this position Even if his performance is not as exciting as when he played in Porto, it can still be called unsatisfactory. At least, in the more than a year since he played for Chelsea, the Blues' right-side defense has been greatly improved. It is no longer like when Glen Johnson was in charge, the right-side defense line was useless and allowed the opponent to gallop!
Of course, Mourinho's adjustment is not perfect. Judging from the current results, the four defenders spend most of their energy on the defensive end. The midfielder always pays attention to protecting the defense line and blocking loopholes. The offense is completely handed over to a few players in the frontcourt. This arrangement has changed Chelsea's defense. While becoming more stable, it also greatly weakened the Blues' already not top-notch offensive power, making their hope of equalizing the score even slimmer!
In a football match, especially a cup match where the outcome is determined, in the final analysis it is about who can score better. No matter how good the defense is but the offense is not good, then this team's chance of winning will not be that high!
Just like now, under the command of Mourinho, Chelsea players stabilized their position almost immediately, giving Tottenham no chance to pursue the victory and further expand their lead. However, although Tottenham has no way to deal with this upgraded version of the Blues that is defensively better than last season, they can calm down with the score ahead and wait patiently for opportunities from the outside!
They have even experienced defenses at the level of AC Milan and Juventus. What does Chelsea mean to them? By the time Terry and the others relax, that's when Tottenham will completely crush Chelsea!

ps: I traveled during the National Day holiday and stayed out late these days. I couldn’t find the time to code until I got back to the hotel, so the update is not very stable. I hope everyone can forgive me. After all, we only have two long vacations in a year. If we don’t go out to play, we won’t have another chance...
