Super Marshal

"Javier, tell me, is there really a so-called magic spell?"

In the stands of the Millennium Stadium, Lin Xia, who flew over from Madrid, sat with Chu Yao, Marca reporter Javier Mataiana, and agent Jorge Mendes, and asked worriedly.

As an atheist, she is definitely unwilling to believe in the so-called magic spell, but many things are difficult to explain.

Just like this game, after the opening, Chelsea quickly grasped the advantage and initiative of the game. As a result, in just ten minutes, they hit the crossbar four times, and then they also gained power and failed to score. The luck was extremely bad.

Against the backdrop of the South Locker Room spell at the Millennium Stadium, it's hard not to be suspicious.

Therefore, Chu Yao also sighed and nodded, "Yeah, it's been 20 minutes. I have the advantage, but I can't score a goal. I'm so unlucky."

But only Mataiana shook his head, "Like Gao Han, I never believe in the so-called magic spell."

Without waiting for the three people around him to ask, the Marca reporter took the initiative to explain.

"In the history of English football, the southern teams have always been weaker than the northern teams. This is a well-known fact. So far, no southern team has won the Champions League, even in domestic competitions. In terms of performance, it is also far inferior to the northern teams."

"In the 1970s and 1980s, the most glorious period of English football, the teams that ravaged Europa also came from the central and northern regions, such as Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, not to mention the most brilliant Liverpool and Manchester United."

"So, it has always been obvious that English football is strong in the north and weak in the south, even now, and the dressing rooms at the Millennium Stadium are divided according to regions, so it is easy for the so-called "south dressing room curse" to appear. gone."

Both Lin Xia and Chu Yao are not professional football fans, and they don't know much about these histories, but after hearing what Matayana said, they suddenly realized that this was the case.

Only Mendes nodded and praised after hearing this: "That's right, but I think the reason why the south is weak and the north is strong has a lot to do with the physical confrontation style of play that England has admired since the 1970s and 1980s." .”

What the Portuguese said made Mattayana lose his voice in surprise, and when he looked at him again, he seemed a little surprised.

"Whether it is Nottingham Forest or Liverpool, they all adopt a style of play that focuses on confrontation, and the quality of personnel in the north-central region of England is obviously more suitable for this style of play. Skill, very different from other teams in the North Central region."

"Well said." Mataiana praised loudly, "There is indeed such a saying."

It can be seen that this agent who is famous in European football is not completely out of ink.

Those who can stand out in the Vanity Fair of European football cannot be underestimated!

"But in any case, the presence or absence of the spell still affects the mentality of the players to some extent."

Mendes' words were once again agreed by Mattayana, "This can explain that Chelsea hit the post and crossbar four times in the opening game, which has a lot to do with the players' mentality being too anxious."

"I think, shouldn't it be appropriate to retreat?" Mendes analyzed.

Mattayana nodded, "It makes sense, but not necessarily."

"Oh?" Everyone immediately looked at the Spanish reporter.

"The so-called high tide on the football field is actually that the players cooperate with each other smoothly, the rhythm is right, the direction is right, the cooperation is coherent, and everyone's rhythm frequency is consistent. Simply put, everyone is playing smoothly. If the kick is comfortable, it will be difficult for the opponent to interrupt and can only be forced to defend."

After a pause, Mattayana said again: "It's like on a basketball court, the two sides were evenly matched, but suddenly one side played a wave of small highs, and directly scored a few to zero, or even ten. It was a few to zero, but after Gao Chao, the opponent also improved, and chased a few to zero again, it's all the same reason."

When he said this, everyone immediately understood.

"Chelsea is only one goal away. If they retreat at this time, no one can tell when the next wave will come."

Having said that, Mattayana turned his head to look at the coach's bench to the south, and found Gao Han standing outside, looking very calm.

"Many people say that Gao Han is good at commanding on the spot. In fact, it's not because of how good he is in terms of skills and tactics, but because he is very good at following the trend. It's the most amazing improvement he's made over the years."

"What's more, Chelsea is good at pressing high and taking the initiative to attack. If you retreat, I'm afraid you won't be able to play, and Ibrahimovic is not good at counterattack. You can only rely on Robben. Gao Han will definitely not let go of such a good player." opportunity, handing over the initiative to the opponent in vain.”

"But continuing to maintain the current situation is not a small risk for Chelsea. Once a player makes a mistake or makes a mistake and is counterattacked by the opponent, he will be really passive."

When Mattayana said this, everyone immediately became much clearer about the situation on the court, especially about Chelsea's current situation.

There is no absolute in football, only relative, so the head coach needs to make a choice.

"Now it's up to Ibrahimovic, who Gao Han has bet on, to see if he can take on the girder."

…………

…………

Ibrahimovic is depressed.

He is surrounded by people.

Needless to say, the two central defenders Toure and Campbell, as long as Chelsea's ball reaches the frontcourt, Gilberto Silva and Vieira will double-team them at the same time, protecting the defense and cutting him off from the other players. Connections between teammates.

This kind of defense with three layers inside and outside made him feel like he was in prison, isolated from the world.

The ball came in again with a long pass to the front of the penalty area. Zlatan Ibrahimovic wanted to fight for the first spot, but this time it was Campbell. This guy is not small, but his speed is not slow. Ibrahimovic ahead.

Campbell headed the ball back and headed the ball back, and Chelsea's attack returned in vain again.

"Boy, what about your arrogance at the beginning?" Campbell wiped the forehead of the header and walked back with a smile.

Ibrahimovic was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it, because he was still unable to break through the opponent's defensive cage.

This made the Swedish center gnash his teeth with hatred, especially when he saw the chuckling expressions of Campbell and Toure, he snorted angrily, but couldn't help but feel more anxious in his heart.

"Calm down, Zlatan." Coach Gao Han's voice came from the sidelines.

The Swedish center forward nodded towards the source of the sound and waved his hand to signal that he heard it, but he still crashed into Arsenal's defense zone like a headless fly.

"It seems that he firmly believes in one sentence." Gao Han on the sidelines shook his head and smiled.

"What?" Cantarero and Emery were both surprised.

It's all this time, and you can still laugh?

"A man should get up from where he falls."

The coaching staff are all full of black lines. Is this an advantage?

He's a striker, but not a donkey.

Gao Han ignored what the assistants were thinking, walked directly to the sidelines, and waved to the nearby Ronaldinho, who immediately ran over, approached Gao Han, muttered a few words, and returned to the court.

Soon, Chelsea reorganized a chance and still passed the ball from the midfield to the frontcourt.

The difference is that this time it passed to the left.

Ronaldinho retreated to meet the pass, and as soon as he stopped, he immediately led to the middle without waiting for Lauren to approach.

Arsenal is also very afraid of the number one Chelsea star, and Vieira immediately blocked him.

"Zlatan!"

Before Vieira and Lauren joined forces, Ronaldinho passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, but the whole person suddenly accelerated and ran towards the middle, seeing Ibrahimovic pull tacitly After coming out to catch the ball, he shouted again, "Come back!"

Before the Brazilian had finished speaking, Ibrahimovic's pass was already behind Vieira, and as soon as Ronaldinho received the ball, Gilberto Silva rushed towards him , but the Brazilian magician still passed the ball to the right side of the top of the arc.

I saw the teenager Robben quickly cut in from the right rib, grabbing the ball before everyone else.

As a left-footer, he used his body to block left-back Ashley Cole on the right side, but he swung his left foot quite freely and hit a curling shot.

But maybe the opportunity came too suddenly, the shot was too hasty, the angle was not right, and it was far away!

Although it was an unsuccessful kick, it still made Gao Han on the sidelines applaud non-stop.

This time the offensive tactics were very successful.

If it wasn't Robben, but Eto'o, it is estimated that he would have entered.

But it should also be reversed. If it was Eto'o, it is estimated that Arsenal would not deploy so much defensive energy on Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.

Everyone knows that Robben is best at left winger, moved to the right, his performance was up and down, and it was such an important game, so Wenger seemed very sure that Robben would not perform well.

Facts have proved that Wenger was right in his judgment.

But it succeeded once, and there will be a second time soon.

A few minutes later, Chelsea created another chance.

This time it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who grabbed the first point. Ronaldinho quickly cut in on the left side. After grabbing the second point, he crossed to the middle. In the absence of defense, he hit a strong volley.

This shot has both speed and strength, and the ball is also suppressed, but the angle is too straight, and it was directly thrown by Lehman.

Two consecutive waves of attacks seemed to be the same, but Gao Han could feel the changes in the situation.

In particular, Arsenal's defense began not to focus on Ronaldinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as before, but began to worry about Robben and Lampard who plugged in behind, which made Ibrahimovic The defensive pressure on Rakimovic and Ronaldinho has been relieved.

For players with super personal abilities like them, once the defensive pressure is lightened, their performance opportunities will come.

What's more, so far in this game, Gao Han hasn't even used a single skill card.

Thinking of this, Gao Han smiled lightly, entered the coaching system, went back and forth on several skill cards, and finally selected a five-star confrontation card.

"It's you!" Gao Han happily used this confrontation card.

"Start using the five-star confrontation card, target: Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

After quitting the coaching system, Gao Han looked at the Swedish tower on the pitch again. He is the tallest skyline on the pitch at this moment, even a few centimeters taller than Arsenal's central defender and goalkeeper.

"Come on, boy, if you can't break through their defense, then you deserve to be someone else's deputy for the rest of your life!"
