Although the overall performance in the first half was poor, and he even missed many opportunities to change the direction of the game due to being too persistent and Ledley King's one-on-one, but in line with the old saying that one handsome person can cover up all the ugly ones, with the help of the above With an extremely exciting personal performance before halftime, Ibrahimovic successfully changed people's perception of him. He is just a person, not an irredeemable team cancer!
"Ibrahimovic is still young, and it is normal for a talented player of his age to do some irrational things because of his youthful exuberance. And even so, Ibrahimovic has helped with his outstanding talent and personal ability. Chelsea recovered a point." Andy Gray's words expressed the aspirations of most fans at this time, and also found a good excuse for Ibrahimovic's previous abnormal performance, "So, if Ibrahimovic can play in the During the break, carefully sum up the gains and losses and learn lessons, and actively seek to cooperate with teammates instead of blindly fighting alone, then Chelsea may have the possibility of a comeback in the second half!"
Andy Gray is still quite optimistic about Ibrahimovic. In his opinion, as long as Ibrahimovic can fully develop his potential, then this young man can stand shoulder to shoulder with top strikers such as Ronaldo and Vieri and become a leader in international football in the future!
"Edur (Gudjohnsen), you replaced Michael (Essien) in the second half and partnered with Frank (Lampard) and Claude (Makelele) in the midfield." Just when Andy Gray faced When Ibrahimovic was full of praise, Mourinho, who returned to the locker room, briefly commented on the team's performance in the first half, and then made substitution adjustments, "And , Robert (Huth), you and Eduard will warm up together later and get ready to play. William (Galla)! Please reflect on it on the bench, why do you always have headers when defending high-altitude balls? Case!"
Hearing Mourinho's words, Gudjohnsen and Huth couldn't help but be overjoyed. They nodded quickly and said that they would go all out in the game. After a season of getting along, they have already understood Mourinho's employment strategy. I have a clearer understanding and know that what the opponent dislikes the most is the kind of players who refuse to change despite repeated admonishment and who refuse to give their best in the game. Naturally, it is impossible to get into trouble with crazy people in this regard.
And, most importantly, like Ancelotti, Mourinho is also the kind of head coach who will not make changes easily once the main lineup is determined, and the rotation will be very small during the season. Therefore, in order to get more playing time, they must also seize this opportunity to perform well!
"...Okay, boss, I understand." Gala was slightly taken aback by the arrangement made by Mourinho, and then nodded, saying that he would obey his coach's decision.
However, although the French seemed to accept Mourinho's decision without complaint, in fact, Gala was extremely unconvinced at this time - why should I accept being punished for making a mistake? Penalty for early substitution, but Ibrahimovic, who is selfish and wastes countless opportunities, can continue to stay on the field?
He will never look for reasons from himself, he can only see the faults of others, and he will make some inappropriate remarks in front of the media from time to time. This is the biggest obstacle that hinders Gallas from growing into a top central defender. In other words, if Gala cannot adjust his mentality as soon as possible and correct these current shortcomings, then he will never cross this threshold, reach the height of Blanc and Desailly, and become a first-class defender!
In comparison, Ibrahimovic is much smarter than Gala, both in his previous life and in this life. Although the Swedish God Tower has also caused trouble on and off the court, his public relations skills and professional attitude are not comparable to Gala. It is precisely because of this gap that in George's previous life, Gala's football path became narrower and narrower. From Arsenal captain to a locker room bomb and team cancer in the eyes of people, Ibrahimovic was able to At the age of thirty-five, he serves as the main center forward at Manchester United!
Therefore, Mourinho's choice to replace Gallas early at halftime was undoubtedly a very wise decision, because if he continues to stay on the court, it is hard to say how much trouble it will cause Chelsea!
"As expected of Jose, on-the-spot adjustments are always so unexpected." Seeing Mourinho's move of replacing two players during the halftime break, George couldn't help but secretly applaud his senior brother's move. He did not expect that Mourinho would choose to make substitutions so decisively after discovering Chelsea's shortcomings in the lineup, instead of covering up these loopholes through tactical adjustments!
Essien is indeed a strong defensive player, and he also has excellent long-range shooting skills. His awareness of attacking is also quite good, but Alonso and Gerrard both need to retreat significantly to assist Spiegel. In the case of Germany's defense, it is a waste of resources to let Essien and Makelele play together. It is better to let Gudjohnsen, who is more offensive, play as Ibrahimovic's wingman to share the pressure for the Swedes!
Therefore, if nothing else happens, in the second half of the game, Chelsea's offense will become more threatening and more difficult to defend!
Of course, it was impossible for George to say these words, otherwise he would inevitably be suspected of boosting the enemy's morale and destroying his own prestige. What's more, although Mourinho's substitutions solved the problems faced by Chelsea on the offensive end and eliminated Gallas, a time bomb in the defense, after these adjustments, the Blues' defensive intensity naturally improved. There has also inevitably been a certain decline. In this way, Tottenham can also get more shooting opportunities!
"It's really interesting. Even a defender of Terry's level couldn't get the upper hand against Didier. Why does Jose think that a second-rate central defender like Huth has the ability to guard him?"
George has not forgotten how Drogba in his previous life blasted Senderos again and again, beating the young central defender who was on the rise of his career to the point where his confidence collapsed. From a rising central defender to a new star, A super colander that keeps making mistakes!
Since Drogba was able to completely defeat Senderos, who was widely expected, this time, when the opponent changed from Arsenal to Chelsea, the opposing defensive player changed from Senderos to the same young and bulky player. What kind of performance can Drogba perform when Huth is playing? Looking at Drogba standing in the center circle of the stadium waiting for the kick-off, George was extremely looking forward to this!
