Although inspired by Lampard, Chelsea players launched a wave of offensives in the subsequent time, using Ibrahimovic's cover and support to continuously attack Tottenham's goal with long shots and set pieces, but it was not until Howard Webber blew When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Chelsea failed to take the lead even once - Lampard received an inverted triangle pass from Franck Ribery in the 83rd minute of the game. A second shot, but before that, Robben had already used his signature inward shot to help Tottenham change the score to 4-2!
In the end, Chelsea lost the Community Shield final with a score of 3 to 4. They watched Tottenham players stand on the podium after the game and raised the shield that they were so envious of! (Note: Unlike other cup competitions, although it is called the Community Shield, the team that wins this event does not receive a trophy, but a shield.)
"Let's go, this is not the place we should stay now." After taking a look at the Tottenham players who were cheering on the podium and George who was surrounded by players, Mourinho put away his eyes and greeted his players. Leaving the court, "If you feel envious, then train harder for me this season and give your best in every game. Don't daydream about pie in the sky!"
Although he lost this direct confrontation with Tottenham and failed to prove that his coaching ability is better than George, Mourinho did not gain nothing. For example, in the use of Gala. After witnessing the Frenchman's performance in the Community Shield final, Mourinho has made up his mind that even if the less capable Huth is allowed to make a cameo, he will never let Gallas appear in the central defender position again. superior!
In addition, Mourinho has further strengthened his determination to poach Ashley Cole from Arsenal. Because the madman has discovered that although the full-back combination of Del Horno and Ferreira is strong enough in defense and will not be easily beaten by the opponent, it can give the team too little help on the offensive end, making the frontcourt Franck Ribery, Duff and others often have to face multiple double-team situations, which makes it difficult for Chelsea to open up the opponent's defense through wing attacks (especially positional battles).
Take this game as an example. If the person behind Ribery is not Del Horno, but Ashley Cole, Tottenham's right wing will inevitably bear more defensive pressure, and Ronaldo will not be able to Without scruples, he used Drogba's opportunity to attract double-teams to attack Terry's defense zone. In this way, Chelsea's defense will become much more stable!
To be honest, Del Horno is not actually a player who is not good at attacking. You know, during the five seasons he played for the Athletic Bilbao first team, as the team's left back, he scored a total of 13 La Liga goals for the Basque Lions. For a full-back, this is a pretty staggering number. In particular, this result was achieved when Del Horno himself did not have the right to take free kicks in the frontcourt like Roberto Carlos, and he also needed to stay in the backcourt when attacking corner kicks. This is enough to illustrate that this Spanish left back The attack power is not as ugly as what people see now!
The most likely reason why Del Horno's offensive performance after moving to Chelsea was far worse than when he played in Bilbao is that Mourinho during this period did not like full-backs in the game. Too many shots placed too many tactical restrictions on the Spaniard. Coupled with the impact of England's confrontational intensity far exceeding that of Spain and the impact of the bad climate, Del Horno, who was not very adaptable to the new environment, suffered a significant degradation in offensive ability!
By the way, like in the previous life, Chelsea in this life are also eyeing Ashley Cole, preparing to take advantage of the cold war between him and Arsenal over contract renewal to bring the England national team's main left back. to Stamford Bridge. The "Collegate" incident that shocked English football unexpectedly broke out at the beginning of this year. Although Chelsea and Cole himself were heavily fined by the FA after the incident, the occurrence of this incident also meant that Colegate Cole's Arsenal career has come to an end - Cole is tired of the endless wrangling with Arsenal over salary, and Arsenal's top brass are unwilling to meet Cole's request to provide him with a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds. Contracts. As a result, selling Cole at a high price in exchange for transfer funds has obviously become the only choice Arsenal can make!
For England's best left back, George would be lying if he said he had no idea at all. But the problem is that Arsenal's management is not stupid and cannot sell their main left back to a competitor and rival in the same city, and Cole does not dare to touch this minefield and enjoy the same "preferential" treatment as Campbell. What's more, Tottenham now has Evra at the left back position, so there is no need to bother chasing Ashley Cole.
Now let’s talk about Tottenham. Although Tottenham won the Community Shield final in the absence of many generals such as Mascherano and gave a good start to the 2005-06 season with a championship, George did not get carried away. The game revealed some shortcomings and areas for improvement in the team.
Needless to say about the poor protection at the front of the penalty area. Because George knows that this is mainly a problem caused by Mascherano's absence and Gerrard's failure to integrate into Tottenham's tactical system. This problem will be solved when Mascherano returns and Gerrard adapts to the change in role and status. The problem George faces now is who should he replace Mascherano once Mascherano is absent and Tottenham has to play against a team of Chelsea's level!
Although Speed is known as an evergreen player in the Premier League and his competitive status is indeed very good, he will not be able to escape the erosion of time after he is about to turn thirty-six years old - if Speed is still as good as he was in his prime With his strength, he wouldn't have been able to play for a small club like Bolton in his previous life. Gerrard and Alonso wouldn't have frequently dropped back to make up for him in this game!
This is also one of the reasons why Tottenham and Chelsea, who are known for their solid defense, scored a jaw-dropping score in this direct confrontation. If this game is not a Community Shield final with more emphasis on warm-up and training, but a Champions League or Premier League game, George will undoubtedly be more cautious when arranging his troops and responding on the spot, and it is impossible to let Sri Lanka Peter gets a chance to start!
Of course, the problem cannot all be attributed to Speed alone. Players who have rested for a summer and have not yet fully entered the game state are also one of the reasons for this situation.
Although there are still many problems that need to be solved, judging from the current situation, George has obviously gained much more than Mourinho. After all, George not only won the game, but also saw what he wanted to see in this game and knew how to make targeted adjustments and reinforcements to Tottenham next!
