After Speed scored the deadlock-breaking goal, Chelsea, who were lagging behind, did not rush to launch a counterattack to regain the disadvantage, while Tottenham also chose to avoid the edge after testing the Blues' defensive strength and wait for their opponents to make mistakes. This situation was obviously unexpected by Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, who had previously vowed that the game would become more exciting.
"Martin, can you analyze it for the viewers in front of the TV and tell me what Coach Mourinho is thinking right now?" Andy Gray looked at the tight defense on the court and couldn't see any signs of it. The Chelsea players who took the initiative to attack were full of doubts in their tone, "It is understandable that Tottenham play more conservatively. Because they are currently leading the score, there is no need to take the risk of being counterattacked by their opponents in a superior situation." It is normal to attack and slow down the pace of the game appropriately. But Chelsea's choice is somewhat confusing. When one goal behind, why did coach Mourinho not let the team take the initiative? Did he resume his normal defensive counterattack style to deal with Tottenham?"
"I think there is no way that Coach Mourinho can do this. ==="The Ultimate Demon"===. Anyone who has watched Chelsea games knows that this team is very good at defensive counterattacks. In contrast, Yes, the Blues' performance in positional offense is extremely incompetent and can even be called quite bad, and Tottenham are a team that counterattacks extremely sharply. In other words, Chelsea is now in a dilemma. If they take the initiative to attack in the following time, the Blues' weakness in offensive positional warfare will be infinitely amplified by Tottenham, and the defense will also expose a lot of gaps, and Tottenham can also use counterattacks to teach them how to behave. And if we return to counter-attacking like now, although the defensive end can be protected, it will also hand over the initiative on the field to Tottenham." This level of problem obviously cannot be difficult for Martin Taylor, Sky TV's The ace commentator just thought for a moment before replying, "However, Chelsea fans don't have to be too anxious because of the temporary deficit. There is still more than an hour before the end of the game, and the Blues have enough time to make a comeback. With this one-goal gap, there is no need to rush to launch a counterattack so early.”
It has to be said that Martin Taylor lived up to his reputation as an ace commentator and revealed Mourinho's true intention in one sentence - the Portuguese madman who still has room for maneuver between solid defense and risky offense. I chose the former for once and don't plan to fight Tottenham now.
However, as Martin Taylor said, although Chelsea, which had shrunk its defense, stabilized its position and did not allow Tottenham to take advantage, the Blues' offense inevitably stalled after investing heavily in defense. Neither Ribery and Duff on the wings nor Ibrahimovic and Lampard in the center posed a substantial threat to the goal guarded by Cech!
If that's all it would be fine, at least Chelsea can solidify their defense first before making plans, but the most terrible thing is that as time goes by, Gala's performance, which has been stable after the opening, begins to become unstable!
In terms of ability and physical fitness alone, Gala definitely has the potential and talent to become the world's top central defender. If fully developed, he is even very likely to surpass Blanc and Desailly at their peak. However, this French international has two extremely fatal shortcomings. One is that he is always out of his control and likes to break news to the media. The other is that he is extremely prone to tipping when defending high-altitude balls!
In George's previous life, Gala was forced to play the left-back position by Mourinho for these two reasons. After moving to Arsenal, he was abandoned by Arsene Wenger for leaking team secrets. In the French national team The road is getting narrower and narrower, and it has not reached the height it should be!
In this life, Mourinho, who has not yet had a clear understanding of Gala's air defense ability, naturally cannot imagine that Gala, a guy who is extremely reliable during team training, would actually hide such a cheating side. Therefore, Mourinho will arrange for Gallas and Terry to partner as central defenders in this game. Otherwise, no matter what the madman says, it is impossible for Gala to replace Carvalho in the starting lineup in this key battle!
Compared with Mourinho, George is obviously more aware of Gala's weaknesses. Therefore, when arranging tactics before the game, he made special arrangements for this, asking the players to increase the number and frequency of passing high-altitude balls during the game, and seize Gallas' habit of taking the top to increase his own chance of winning!
While this will most likely make Mourinho aware of Gallas' weaknesses earlier than in his previous life, even if George doesn't, Mourinho will sooner or later notice and discover it. In this case, it is better for George to enjoy it for himself first, so as not to benefit others in vain.
What George didn't expect was that Gallas performed very well in the first half of the first half and completed the defensive tasks assigned by Mourinho very well, which prevented his plan from being implemented smoothly. And now, as Gala's competitive form has declined and become less stable, alarms over Chelsea's penalty area have begun to sound frequently!
Del Horno and Ferreira have very strong tactical execution capabilities and are very fierce in defense. This is the main reason why Mourinho chose these two and entrusted them with important tasks, but Ronaldo and Robben This is not a player that can be stopped by foul tactics. Not to mention, Howard Webber, who has extensive experience in law enforcement, would not allow Chelsea to play such ugly football in this Community Shield final. Although physical confrontations and fouls are commonplace in the Premier League, something like this In a game with high attention and ratings, the referee's penalty scale and whistle will naturally become much stricter!
No matter how powerful Terry is, it is impossible for him to wipe Gala's butt and fill holes every time. Therefore, as the game progressed, Chelsea's defense finally showed signs of collapse again under the relentless attack of Tottenham players!
In the 35th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo, who switched to the left, broke through Ferreira's defense with continuous fake moves and passed the ball high. Gallas in the penalty area accidentally jumped up and leaked the ball to Drogba behind him. The latter made a slight adjustment after getting the ball and hit the goal decisively, changing the score to 2-0!
In this way, with ten minutes left in the first half, Tottenham finally caught the biggest weakness in Chelsea's defense and gave the Blues a fatal blow!
