Chapter eight hundred and sixty-two what Mourinho left behind

Mallorca began to advance layer by layer - they did not launch a storm-like attack from the beginning, because they knew in their hearts that when facing an opponent like Chelsea, there was actually no effect on rushing and attacking. After all, Chelsea's midfield defense and overall defense ability are first-class. Even if Mourinho is no longer there, the steel defense line he built will break for a while.

When dealing with such a team, you must be patient. The more patient you are, the more likely you will get a chance.

Seeing Mallorca begin to advance through the back and forth layer by layer, Chelsea did not seem impatient, but came up with a very level of pressing from the midfield, not running wildly to intercept, but trying to keep an eye on Mallorca's offensive players one by one, reducing their room for transmission.

Obviously, Grant still put in a lot of effort. The most threatening part of Mallorca is always their offense. Defence alone is not enough, and offense alone is not enough. Only by trying to make their midfield passes through interception cannot be carried out smoothly, reducing their offenses and increasing their own offenses can they win.

To put it bluntly, it is that both offense and defense cannot be worse than Mallorca - this is a theoretical solution. For example, to kill a grandmaster, you have to let two grandmasters take action. The whole world is considering how to defeat Mallorca. As long as you find a star that is more than Mallorca, the overall coordination is better than Mallorca, the defense is better than Mallorca, and the offense is stronger than Mallorca, and the offense is stronger, there is a great possibility that Mallorca can defeat Mallorca...

Of course this is nonsense, but with Chelsea's overall strength, it is still possible to compete with Mallorca.

Mallorca's pushing offense was a bit difficult to advance under Chelsea's targeted press. As soon as Barack got the ball in the midfield, Mikel pushed him. Barack quickly passed the ball to Alonso. Alonso got the ball under Lampard's press and then quickly passed it straight, wanting to hand it over to Klose ahead to let him pass the ball to organize the attack.

Joe Cole, who retreated to the midfield, unexpectedly made a beautiful steal. He stole the pass given by Alonso to Klose, and then quickly passed the ball to Lampard in front. Lampard took the ball and passed it straight to Drogba in front. Drogba took the ball and turned around. When Matthias quickly came up, he forced a breakthrough. After colliding with Matthias, he suddenly kicked and shot twenty-five meters away from the goal!

This shot still had a very high quality under the interference of Matthias. The ball first flew in a straight line, and then had a slightly downward arc under the force of air. Van der Sar flew out, and his incomparable single hand blocked the ball out of the baseline, a corner kick!

Drogba's shot caused a burst of fierce applause from Chelsea fans in the stands. The reason why he could start with such a shot at home was also a shot of a heart-warming shot for Chelsea fans!

Lampard took a corner kick, and Pepe pushed the ball out before Carvalho. However, with Carvalho's interference, Pepe failed to push the ball far. Mikel intercepted the ball outside the penalty area and quickly divided the ball out. Essin, who was inserted from the right, shot with a blowout shot towards the flying ball!

Essin is also an excellent heavy gunner, but this time his long-range shooting power and speed were enough, but the angle was a little worse. The ball flew directly out of the baseline, almost injured a fan who could not dodge...

"It seems that Chelsea wants to exert its strength to the extreme..."

Jose thought on the sidelines that his idea was not wrong. Chelsea did not intend to play any technical flow with Mallorca. Instead, they attacked in the simplest and most crude way. They handed the ball over to Drogba, using his physique and ball control to fight alone in the frontcourt. They shot when they had the chance, and split the ball out if they didn't have the chance. Then they organized the attack through Lampard or Karau and Joe Cole who were inserted on both wings. Although Chelsea's bench strength is not very good now, the overall strength of the main lineup is still quite considerable. This tactic can fit their characteristics well and can also vaguely restrain Mallorca's technical style of play.

The most feared thing about technical play is to pass the attack back and forth. What you are afraid of is this simple and rough running interception and counterattack. However, Jose and Mallorca have adapted to this situation. Now Mallorca is a player who can run, rush and fight against the field. Even if you don’t play technology and fight against the confrontation, it’s not much different!

Mallorca also had a simple and rough play next time. Two minutes later, Barack broke the ball under Joe Cole in the backcourt, and then quickly passed the ball to Maicon on the right. Maicon drove straight along the side, and drove the ball to nearly 30 meters before passing the ball to Kaka who was receiving the ball. After Kaka took the ball, he pretended to shoot. After attracting Marklele's attention, he quickly raised his foot and passed the ball directly into the ribs of Chelsea's penalty area. After Henry, who was inserted, quickly accelerated and forced his way through Carvalho, and then decisively pushed the ball to the near corner from a very small angle. The sensitive Cech fell to the ground and saved the ball from the baseline.

It's also a corner kick.

When Matthias, Pepe and others rushed into Chelsea's penalty area, Chelsea's defenders also became nervous. Their set-piece offense was very threatening, but Mallorca's set-piece offense was also threatening.

In the penalty area, Mallorca's high point is no less than Chelsea. With Matthias, Pepe, Barack and a Klose who heads well, Mallorca is even better than Chelsea. In the long shot outside the penalty area, Kaka is a top heavy gunner. Risser Mecon's long shot ability is not bad, but in order to prevent the opponent's counterattack, Mallorca and Riser generally do not press too far when getting a set piece.

So in such a set piece, Mallorca's most threatening thing is the header in the penalty area.

Alonso drove the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area. The players of both sides jumped one after another and fought for the landing point. Terry collided violently with Matthias in the air. Matthias' center of gravity slightly deviated a little, and he still tried hard to grab the first landing point and headed to attack!

Cech made another wonderful save, flew to save the ball, and Cole at the back point immediately cleared the ball!

Chelsea fans sighed after the disaster. Chelsea had just created two good opportunities, and Mallorca immediately retaliated with fierce attacks. This kind of rough play style is also quite threatening to play!

For a moment, even the most hardcore Chelsea fans were shaken a little bit - can our team really win in the face of such an almost omnipotent team?

This kind of shaken will not reduce their love for the team, because they know that even if Chelsea is not the current giant, it is still an ordinary Premier League team, and they will also love Chelsea the same. However, they are still very worried, worried that the team will not win...

However, they can be shaken, but Chelsea players will not. Mallorca is a very strong opponent, and they have known for a long time that this Chelsea team is basically a lineup formed by Mourinho in the past three years. Although many people came to Chelsea before Mourinho took office, they have basically participated in the confrontation with Mallorca in the past three years.

They have won and lost, and in the group stage, they each won and lost. They can proudly say that Chelsea is the best team against Mallorca in the past three years. Even if Mallorca shows its outstanding strength, they will not be afraid!

Two minutes after Mallorca's attack, Chelsea launched another attack. Lampard got the ball in the midfield and passed it straight to the penalty area. Drogba forced himself to rush towards the ball and used his speed to block Matthias behind him. However, Matthias made a decisive tackle and took a beautiful lead from the side and rear to the baseline. Lampard took a corner kick, and Barack, who returned to defense, headed the ball to clear the ball.

Five minutes later, Henry broke through and was knocked down by Carvalho, and Mallorca won a direct free kick from the front of the penalty area. Kaka, Barak and Riser stood in front of the ball. Chelsea lined up a six-person wall to block this side tightly. After Kaka pretended to run, Riser directly shot the ball, and the ball hit the wall and bounced back. Barak followed and kicked it again, but was blocked by Marklele, who was snatching out of the ball with his chest.

After blocking the gun hole twice in a row, Chelsea players showed their unyielding courage!

"What an excellent team, the huge wealth left by Mourinho..." Even Jose sighed. Mourinho is indeed a top coach. At least at Chelsea, he is dedicated to creating the present and future of the entire team. This legacy has even affected a long time. In the world where Jose is reborn, Chelsea was able to win the Champions League championship five years after Mourinho was dismissed. The role played is the group of old guys left by Mourinho - Terry, Lampard, Drogba...

Although his coaching in Inter Milan was criticized for "a temporary result that he had overdrawn his strength in a season" as a team, the most important thing is the current result or the so-called future? Do you ask any fan who hopes that his team will achieve unprecedented brilliant record in a certain season and even pays off his debts for this glory, or does he hope that his team will always play mediocrely and can see hope every year, and is in the top few leagues every year, but never wins a championship?

At least for Inter Milan fans who have been waiting for a league championship for 17 years and waiting for a Champions League championship for 42 years, the glory of the treble champion in that moment is eternal, which makes them rather pay for even if they can’t win a championship for the next five or even ten years!

Perhaps for the team's board of directors, it is enough to be in the top few leagues every year. Being able to participate in the Champions League, obtain good returns, and keep the entire team's finances in a balanced manner. However, for fans, they are looking forward to more than this. What they want is a brilliant and brilliant season. Even if the outcome and consequences of such a season are that they will not be able to win any championship in the next few years and may even encounter the danger of relegation, they will do whatever they want!

Don’t have anything forever, what you want is just what you once had.

Chelsea still has the spirit of Mourinho left behind. Even when their leader is no longer there, they can still bravely attack the powerful Mallorca and use their abilities to cause huge trouble to Mallorca!

"What a respectable team... Mourinho..." Jose muttered in his heart.
