The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 346
346 Mourinho’s Way to Success
Du!
The referee whistled at the beginning of the match.
Chelsea, dressed in a blue shirt, immediately kicked off and attacked from the right side of the screen to the left!
At the beginning of the game, Chelsea were pretending to be attacking, two wings were pressed, they were testing Leeds United.
Sure enough, Leeds United took a defensive stance. Several lines were extremely rigid, the formation was very tight, and the positions were very dense. The Chelsea players could hardly find any offensive gaps.
On the sidelines, Chelsea coach Jos é Mourinho’s eyes are focused solely on Leeds United’s defence, where he hopes to learn something.
Jose Mourinho is one such person!
In front of people, Jos é Mourinho was more arrogant than anyone else, just like what he said, God first, under God is him. He was so arrogant that he looked down on all living beings.
But he was more humble than anyone else behind him!
As long as he was stronger than him, as long as there was something worth learning, no matter who it was, he would always modestly study, explore, and then apply what he learned to enrich his methods and tactics.
That’s how Jose Mourinho succeeds.
Drogba had just taken the ball and before he could turn around, Nigel Dejon, the back of Leeds United, rushed forward with a ferocious slippery shovel that shoved the ball out.
The Chelsea fans exploded, cursing Nigel Dejon with rage, “Butcher! You damn bastard, go to hell!”
Drogba’s eyebrows twitched as well. It was really dangerous just now. If this fellow shoveled a little off, his right leg would be crippled.
Drogba was so angry that he immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Nigel Dejon.
The Chelsea fans in the stands were not afraid of anything big and roared angrily, “Beat him! Didier beat him to death!”
Nigel Dejon also glared at Drogba without any weakness, his pupils as wide as copper bells.
The two of them were like two raging bulls, glaring at each other fiercely.
Chelsea players rushed over to seek justice for Didier Drogba and surrounded Nigel Dejon. Nigel Dejon held his neck high like a proud peacock, unafraid.
The players from Leeds United also rushed forward frantically, and the players from both sides gathered together.
“Wow, the competition has just begun. This smell of gunpowder is coming up. This competition will definitely be very popular. Will the next competition explode?” Mark Lawrenson is very worried.
The referee acted immediately, whistling to remind the players on both sides.
The game had only just begun when the players from both sides became angry. The pressure on Webb, the referee of this game, was also very great. He immediately persuaded the players from both sides and verbally warned Drogba and Nigel Dejon to calm them down.
“This match is too hot. Now let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides to lower the flames for everyone!” Mark Lawrenson said.
The starting lineup for today is as follows:
Visiting team: Chelsea, head coach, Jos é Mourinho, formation: 4-3-2-1
Goalkeeper: Peter Cech
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Del Horno, Carvalho, Terry and Paul Ferreira
Three midfielders “left to right”: Makelele, Lampard and Essien
Double Avant-garde: Robben and Duff
Single striker: Drogba
Actually, Jose Mourinho’s favorite formation is 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3! In fact, today’s formation was a 4-3-3 transformation. Neither Robben nor Duff was a pure winger in this tactic. The two of them were more likely to be behind Drogba and ready to move forward at any time.
Jose Mourinho’s 4-3-3 strategy is not an offensive tactic. Don’t be frightened by his 4-3-3 strategy, but it is completely different from the Dutch 4-3-3 strategy. Jose Mourinho defends against any formation!
Whether it was Jos é Mourinho’s 4-3-1-2, 4-3-2-1, or 4-3-3, they all had one thing in common: the three in midfield were completely defensive midfielders, which was the biggest feature of Jos é Mourinho’s tactics.
Jos é Mourinho likes to put down three defenders in midfield so that the defenders in midfield can be assured that they can restrain the opponent’s attack and block the ball in midfield.
The first two of these three were either 1 or 3. Only then would they be able to launch a counterattack at the first possible moment and attack quickly.
This is Chelsea’s starting lineup for today.
Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Four defenders “from left to right”: Evra, Vermaelen, Pique and Sagna
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Ribery, Gourcuff, Nigel Dejon and James Milner
Twin strikers: Huntelaar and Darren Bent
Today, Leeds United changed their formation. The formation became the traditional 4-4-2. The midfield was in a parallel position!
Evidently, Zhong Cheng’s next goal was to strengthen his defense. In particular, it strengthened the defence of the midfield, which was the rhythm of clashing with Chelsea in midfield.
When they saw this formation, all the fans present felt the same way. However, as the match began, they realized that their thoughts were wrong. They were all deceived by Zhong Cheng’s cover-up.
Actually, Zhong Cheng’s formation was very lively. It was not 4-4-2 as everyone had seen it with their eyes. Because when defending, the midfield changed a lot, and Darren Bent would also come back to participate in the defense. In fact, there were already five midfield defenders in the Leeds United team.
That was why Zhong Cheng was such a thief!
This is also the special arrangement for Chelsea’s game, is to fight Chelsea in the middle of the game!
As expected, this was the result after the start of the competition.
The players of both sides had a fierce battle in the midfield. Moreover, the players of both sides were very angry. Their movements in defense were very big. The players of both sides were thrown upside down. This midfield was a mess.
On the stands, many media reporters frowned when they saw this.
Holy shit, what are these two teams playing today? Is this a football game or a football game? This referee’s whistle seemed too frequent. Wasn’t the movements of the players from the two teams too big?
Chen Chen, the director of the production team of Cloud Sea Sports, who had come from afar, also frowned slightly. The gold content of this competition seemed to be inferior to that of the first division. However, the chaos in this competition was even more chaotic and dark than in the first division. Could these two teams really represent the highest level of the Premier League?
Chen Chen frowned. This match looked too abnormal.
The fans on the stands and in front of the TV were all frowning. The progress of this match was completely different from what his family had expected. What about the battle of Heavenly King Mountain? What about the King of Kings?
Damn, this competition is all over. Chickens and vegetables are pecking each other!
In midfield, Gourcuff received a pass from Nigel Dejon and turned around with a pull. With a bang, Essien crazily came over, a ferocious shovel, and Gourcuff fell.
“Grandma Goddamn it, Essien, Big Black! I’ll kill you!” In the stands, Leeds United fans cursed wildly, and there were even people throwing hard objects into the stadium.
“Can you Tamar play football? You Tamar want to fight?” Nigel Dejon of Leeds United charged forward like a gust of wind.
Seeing that something was about to happen, Webb immediately rushed to stop Nigel Dejon and whistled incessantly to calm the players on both sides.
Nigel Dejon was held back by the Leeds United players, but the guy was still cursing.
Essien was expressionless and his eyes turned cold.
At this moment, Webb immediately showed Essien his first yellow card. At this moment, less than ten minutes had passed since the start of the match. This yellow card had arrived very early.
Webb had already realized that this match had to be stricter, or else this match would definitely collapse.
“Kill the Chelsea baldy! Shave their heads, kill them 3-0! We want victory, Leeds United! Leeds United charge!” Leeds United fans roared wildly.
The Chelsea fans were unwilling to be outdone as they roared, “Go on! Beat him! Fuck him! Kick the Leeds United butt, kill them!”
Zhong Cheng stood at the side of the field, his hands clasped together, his eyes fixed on the field.
At the beginning of the match, he guessed that it was really hot. At the same time, the two sides had indeed launched a frenzied snatch in the middle of the match.
At this time, the players on both sides did not think about attacking. They were all in the middle of the field, causing trouble and sabotage. Therefore, at this time, it seemed that the level of skill and tactics in this match was not high, and it was very low. However, Zhong Cheng knew that the battle between the two teams had already begun.
And at this time, he seemed to have entered a white-hot stage!
Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Jose Mourinho, who was crouching at the edge of the field, biting a straw in the corner of his mouth, his expression serious.
Zhong Cheng smiled faintly. At the very least, his initial plan had succeeded.
Now, the next step was to see who was more patient.
Of course, Zhong Cheng was also a little worried at this time.
Zhong Cheng was afraid that something unexpected would happen, because the players on both sides of this match were too angry. The movements of both sides were also very big, it was very easy to get injured, and at the same time, it was also very easy to get a red card.
If these accidents happened, then this match would be very easy to collapse.
Zhong Cheng slowly came to the side of the field and made a gesture to the Leeds United players on the field, indicating that the Leeds United players should not commit unnecessary fouls. They must not lose their rationality while being fierce. Our purpose was not to fight with each other, our purpose was to anger each other and make them impatient.
Zhong Cheng continued to sit down and gesture, reminding the Leeds United players.
Jose Mourinho was still squatting quietly, staring at the pitch with a deep gaze. As if this match had nothing to do with him, he just squatted quietly.
At this moment, an accident occurred on the field.
Nigel Dejon’s big kick came from Lampard and bounced back to Drogba’s feet.
Didier Drogba immediately turned around and charged towards Gourcuff’s side, heading straight for the forbidden area of Leeds United.
At the very least, Pick reacted in time and rushed out, but it was already too late.
After Drogba pushed Gourcuff away, he suddenly swung his leg fiercely towards the football and gave it a kick that shook the tiger!
“Drogba, long range!” Mark Lawrenson roared madly.
