Chapter 48

Before facing the ultimate PK with Ronaldinho, Endrit first faced the tactical changes made by coach Mourinho. Yes, that's right, because the next game was against a team like Blackburn, which was hovering in the relegation zone, Mourinho changed his position again with a wave of his hand.

Sheva, who performed well during this period, was promoted to the starting forward position by Mourinho, while Kalou still firmly occupied the starting forward position. Malouda, who was favored by coach Mourinho before, also sat on the bench in this game. Of course, with Lampard accompanying him, Malouda did not feel very lonely.

The only thing that remains unchanged is probably the back five, with Endritt and the four defenders from the previous game continuing to play.

When playing against Aston Villa, Mourinho deployed a 4-5-1 formation. Although he won the game, the home whistle made him extremely angry. In the next game, Chelsea played their very familiar 4-4-2, and they are at home, so there will definitely be a hearty game the day after tomorrow!

...

At 17:15 on September 15th, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Blackburn at home.

"Dear viewers, I have got the starting lineups of both sides."

"Chelsea and Blackburn both showed their best in this game. In the 4-4-2 formation, the visiting team Blackburn's forwards McCarthy and Roque faced the home team Chelsea's Sheva and Kalou." Moore turned to look at his partner Barry, "This is Barry, what do you think of the four of them? Which two people have a greater chance of winning? "

Of course Sheva and Kalou, they are both experienced veterans!" Barry agreed with a smile, and then asked: "What about you? Moore? Which two people do you think will win in this game?"

Moore deliberately showed a frustrated expression after hearing Barry's answer, as if he regretted letting Barry speak first, "That's right, actually I "That's a pity, "

Barry shrugged. "I thought we could make a bet."

Moore touched his ears and said he didn't hear anything. "Let's look at both sides now. " The starting lineup for the midfield position..."

...

During the preparations for both sides, referee Howard Webb withdrew from the midfield and Blackburn kicked off.

Endrit thought of what his coach had said to him yesterday, and stood on tiptoes in front of the goal to slightly improve his field of vision.

'System, do you have anything that can help me grow taller? '

【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! Is the host talking to me? Yeah? Is the host really talking to me? ]

Endrit resisted the urge to roll his eyes, 'You can shut up and wait until this game is over. '

Dutch flyer and Barcelona godfather Cruyff once said that the goalkeeper's vision is a natural advantage. If everyone presses forward, a defensive player needs to be added, and the goalkeeper must be involved.

This sentence is a bit abstract, but it actually outlines a type of goalkeeper: the ball-holding goalkeeper. Endritt has recently been working hard to develop into a ball-holding goalkeeper under the guidance of Mourinho. However, he hasn't developed it yet, so he is still a goal-line goalkeeper.

Goal-line goalkeepers are the final destination of most goalkeepers in modern football. Like Endrit, they are not top-notch in foot skills, and their ability to read the game and protect the defense is not strong enough. The main goal of their career is to keep opponents clean.

When he was in the youth team, the one thing the coach shouted to Endritt the most was to pass the ball out quickly - all coaches generally ask goal-line goalkeepers to minimize the time they hold the ball.

Before there was a system, Endritt's career goal was to become a goal-line goalkeeper who could completely keep opponents clean. With the system in place, Endritt relied on his face to achieve the final goal of his career of "clean opponents" ahead of schedule. He thought that it would be a good day to win on equal terms in the future, but just yesterday, Mourinho kicked him out of comfort. District pulled out and said "you can do better".

Before the start of the game, Mourinho also specifically pulled him aside and told him: I asked you to cooperate with Sheva and Ashley before so that you can adapt to being a ball-holding goalkeeper in advance. In the future, you will not only have to defend You also have to participate in the team's offense.

"Endrit, don't you want to become a king-level player as a goalkeeper?"

If Endrit were the 18-year-old Zhou Liran in his previous life, then he should really be showing a very excited expression now. , but he is the lucky one to live for decades more. After hearing this sentence, there is only one thought in his mind: he will always play football at Chelsea in the future. If he only stays at Chelsea, he will be crowned as the king of football. As for the players, doesn't that mean that their team will mainly rely on him as the goalkeeper to win in the future?

If this is really the case, wouldn't Chelsea be a team where the forwards rely entirely on scoring goals, the midfield is weak and afraid of pressing, and the defenders are all colanders?

How is this possible? They Chelsea... holy shit?

Endrit bounced on the spot, raised his right hand and slapped the football. Under the power of the system, the football dived towards Endrit's face, and Endrit finally caught it in his arms.

"My, my, my," Alex felt very sorry, "I didn't expect this ball to fly towards me."

Endrit smiled and shook his head to indicate that it didn't matter. After all, he was a little distracted just now. The elder brother didn't smile. elder brother.

After what happened just now, Endrit didn't dare to think about other things. His eyes were glued to the frontcourt, always paying attention to the position of the football and ready to save at any time, but it was not until the end of the first half that the game entered the intermission. , no one from Blackburn on the opposite side can deliver the ball to him anymore, and the football is often stopped directly when it rushes to the midfield.

Blackburn, who are relatively poor in terms of offense, are very knowledgeable in defense, so the situation on the pitch now becomes that the two teams play football until each other's half, and then exchange halves. At the end of the entire first half, the score remained at the extremely harmonious number of 0:0.

... Mourinho gave instructions on the offense in the second half

in the locker room

, "The defense on the other side is no worse than ours, Sheva, Raul, you two have to break through their defense."

"Wright, Essien, you guys The two must pay attention to the positions of Sheva and Raul at all times and provide timely support. "

Ben Haim," Mourinho pointed out the name of substitute defender Ben Haim, "You come on in the second half."

Alex didn't dare. He said nothing, silently lowered his head and avoided Mourinho's gaze, pretending that he did not exist.

"Ritter?"

Endrit sat up quickly, "Coach?"

"Why didn't you react until the ball flew in front of you? Are you distracted?"

Endrit didn't dare to quibble, lowering his head and pretending. Deaf and mute.

"There will be no next time." Mourinho said about this matter lightly. "In the second half of the game, pay attention to the offside of the opponent. They often caused offside in this game. I don't want to see us score a goal but be called offside by the referee." Blow the whistle for an invalid goal, do you understand?"

"Understood!"
