Chapter 95
March 1, 2008, the 28th round of the Premier League, West Ham United vs. Chelsea.
Although it was an away game, when the Chelsea players stood on the Boleyn Stadium, the entire venue instantly became lively. The fans cheered for Endrit, who had not seen him for a long time, and looked forward to seeing a wonderful game tonight.
Because he was busy with new cooperation training, and the indispensable person in the new training was Endrit, so Endrit lived directly in the original dormitory in the past few days: Yes, that's right, Chelsea staff did not clean up the place where Endritt lived and let the new players move in.
However, Endrit did not feel grateful in his heart after enjoying this preferential treatment - no one could hold back when he saw the Iron Mask carved directly on the bedside!
The dead black history is attacking me again/Help, haven’t I been upgraded to Iron Man? Why is the Iron Mask still here?
"We will never forget this name, because we gave it to you. Ritter, this is the testimony of our friendship!" What
can Endrit say? He could only smile and say that his teammates in the youth team were right and well said. This is indeed a testimony of our friendship.
"But having said that, have you been training well recently? If you want, you can play a training match after I finish training tomorrow. Then I can invite coach Mourinho to come over..."
"Oh No... ..."
The room that was originally full of people emptied out in an instant. Endrit stood there and sighed, climbed onto the small bed and tucked himself into the quilt that had just been exposed to the sun.
...
"Good evening, friends in front of the TV, what you are watching is the 28th round of the Premier League, West Ham United vs. Chelsea, the blue team."
"First of all, congratulations to West Ham United, they will play in May this year Construction of a new home stadium has begun, and I hope it will bring good luck to West Ham United and allow them to rise higher and higher in the league. "
As for Chelsea, internal sources revealed that coach Mourinho has already taken control of it. How to make Ballack and Lampard work together? It is said that this method has already achieved initial results. The insider also revealed that the effect will surprise all of us. "
"If this is true, then Cappe. Didn't Coach Luo catch up with something good?"
"What do you say?"
"In the national team, the cooperation between Germany and Germany is obviously a big problem. If Coach Mourinho's method is effective, then Capello can't. Did you use this method directly? "
"You are right, but I think it is not just the cooperation problem between the two Germans. Many teams in major leagues are facing this problem, such as Real Madrid, they are still It’s difficult to deal with the coordination problem in the midfield and frontcourt.”
“Okay, now let’s look at the starting lineups of both sides.”
“West Ham United played a 451 formation in this game. The goalkeeper Green and the defenders from left to right are Mai.
Cartney , Upson, Ferdinand and Neal, midfielders Ljungberg, Mullins, Noble, Faubert and Boa Motte, striker Carlton Cole. They came up with a 433 lineup! Their midfield lineup is Ballack on the left, Lampard on the right, and the midfielder in the middle is Makelele, who is better at defense. "
Coach Mourinho has made many mistakes in the game . The first time I came up with this lineup, I remember clearly that this lineup did not solve the coordination problem between Ballack and Lampard. On the contrary, it greatly increased the difficulty of the cooperation between the two. "
"Maybe Mourinho wanted to. Bringing the new tactical system to the Champions League. In the past confrontations between West Ham United and Chelsea, West Ham United did not have an advantage, so even without the new tactical system, Chelsea can win with the old tactical system. This game."
"That's what I said, but when facing a weaker team, shouldn't we take the opportunity to practice?"
After saying this, the two commentators were silent for a moment and then changed the topic in a tacit understanding.
"Let's look at Chelsea's defenders. From left to right are Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho and Ashley. On the front line, from left to right are Cole Kalaw and Anelka."
"Mourinho rested Drogba for this game. This was for the Champions League game four days later. Although the opponent was Olympiakos, after the last confrontation between the two teams, Chelsea won with difficulty, and Olympiakos deserved it. Chelsea took it seriously. "
At 15:00 local time in England,
before the game officially started, coach Mourinho once again emphasized in the locker room that this was a formal game.
"Don't think about the offensive coordination we have practiced recently, just play normally and defend normally. If anyone gets rusty and just puts the opposing players into the backcourt like we did in training, then you will be on the bench forever! "
During the training match, Mourinho wished that the players would forget their instincts and put players from Team B into
the penalty area. But in official games, it is completely a crime to directly put the opponent's players into the penalty area.
The main theme of their training these days is surprise, but what is surprise? Naturally, it is not for the opponent to discover that today's Chelsea is a little different right from the start - if the Chelsea players were in good condition today and the West Ham players were completely unable to break through and shoot and were directly touched by him, then they might not have to show it at all in this game. A new collaboration.
Just 5 minutes into the game, after the opposing forward Carlton Cole stopped the ball and turned around and broke into the penalty area, Carvalho successfully tackled Cole directly from behind, preventing the latter from having a chance to shoot - if it was during training, Mourinho would Coach Rinho must have blown the whistle and slapped Carvalho.
But now, Endritt gave a thumbs up to Carvalho, "Well done, just play like this!"
Cole raised his head and looked at Endritt in confusion: Good guy, the rumors are indeed false. Yes, how can Endrit respect his opponent?
In the 16th minute, Kalou broke through from the left and was tripped by a West Ham player on the edge of the penalty area. The referee blew the whistle and Chelsea got a penalty kick.
With all the fans watching, Lampard kicked the football into the goal in one fell swoop.
"GOALLL!!! The ball has been scored!"
The commentators and fans were very excited, but only one sentence flashed in the minds of the Chelsea players on the field: Okay, okay, you kid got it again!
Damn it, why is the other side so good! Hurry up and make a breakthrough and let us show you the newly practiced combination skills!
The ball finally came to West Ham United. With the expectations of all Chelsea players, in the 18th minute, West Ham United midfielder Noble made a pass from the right. After receiving the ball, Faubert headed the ball directly outside the penalty area. The football went over the crossbar and flew directly out of the goal.
Faubert stood there and sighed softly. At the same time, he heard several sighs ringing in his ears: Did all his teammates break through to the penalty area? Is it possible for them to launch another attack?
Faubert looked back in great surprise and found that the players who just sighed were actually several Chelsea defenders. Faubert's header just now was very decisive, and the four defenders failed to stop him. It's right to sigh - but didn't his shot just go in? Shouldn't you be relieved? !
"Your header was too hard. Look, it flew directly out. What a pity."
Faubert's eyes widened and he looked at Ashley who was speaking, "Are you talking to me?"
Did their West Ham United pay a big price to buy out their opponents?
"Yes, you may have scored this goal, but you played too hastily. Don't be so hasty next time."
John Terry commented silently. Faubert turned around and ran away with a dull face: "You're crazy! " Chelsea players are acting strangely!
Two minutes later, Chelsea expanded the score again. Anelka passed the ball from the center and Cole scored with a low shot from the left side of the penalty area.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Chelsea 2-0 West Ham United. There is obviously no suspense in this game.
"Chelsea's celebration was not very enthusiastic. Are they dissatisfied with the current results?"
The referee whistled and the game restarted. West Ham United players took the ball and began to slowly advance towards Chelsea.
When West Ham United midfielder Noble advanced the football to his own frontcourt, Anelka stared at the football, then stepped forward to steal the ball tentatively, faked a move to hook the football to his feet, and passed the ball.
Lampard trotted all the way and received the ball on the left. After noticing the player on the opposite side, he decisively passed the ball with the outside of his instep to Ballack. The latter stared at the position of the football and did not wait for the football to land on the lawn. The first volley shot, the football flew into the goal from the lower left corner.
Chelsea 3:0 West Ham United!
The Chelsea fans in the stands were spinning in circles with excitement. They were indeed right to go with the team! This is a completely exquisite game!
"Why are you still getting passed by fake moves?" After passing the ball, Alneka couldn't help turning his head to look at Noble, and said sadly: "This is a game, be serious, don't let me hook you... ..."
Noble clenched his fists, turned around and left angrily: Damn it! Didn’t he just score three goals in less than halftime? You Chelsea guys are too arrogant! Are you mocking him like that? !
Under the attack of Chelsea players who inadvertently conveyed all kinds of "Why are you so bad, why can't you break through?", in the 31st minute, West Ham United finally launched a decent attack.
Forward Carlton Cole successfully fought for the top and passed the football back to his teammates. Noble received the ball and fired a semi-volley from 20 yards in the penalty area. The football flew straight towards the goal.
Endritt tensed his body and flew directly towards the football.
"Ferreira!"
The football flew to the left side of the goal. Endritt rushed over and pushed the football directly without pressing it directly on his body. Ferreira, who was named by Endritt, took a step back to catch it. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed the football across to John Terry, who immediately broke forward after receiving the pass.
"Wine!" Freira shouted Barak's designated synonym for wine, and Barak began to rush forward after hearing the sound.
Noble finally reacted and quickly chased John Terry, but by the time he caught up with John Terry, the football had been passed directly to the center. After receiving the ball, Ballack shot without pausing!
The West Ham United goalkeeper hurriedly attacked and rushed in the direction of the ball, but before he could touch the ball, the ball had already spun and flew into the goal.
4:0!
"The ball went in! This was a very fast counterattack! It only took 58 seconds from the time Endrit saved the football to Ballack scoring! In less than a minute! Chelsea had already completed an attack!"
" Through replays, we can clearly see that when Freira passed the ball, both Lampard and Ballack moved directly, and the ball was finally passed to Ballack. "
So can we draw a conclusion? One conclusion is that the new cooperation mentioned by coach Mourinho is to let Ballack and Lampard compete at the same time, and whoever is in the best position will pass the football to him. "
"That's probably the case, and judging from the current situation ? , The effect of this is very good, Lampard and Ballack attract the opposing defensive players at the same time, which directly reduces the pressure on Ballack who shoots. "
" That's true, but playing like this will be a great test for Barak . "Lack and Lampard are popular."
"This also puts pressure on other players. If you like Ballack and Lampard at the same time, who are you going to pass the ball to?"
"If you pass the ball ? I thought he could go in, so I passed it to him, so how can you be sure that if you pass it to another person, the other person won't go in?"
"This is a bit bad!" The two commentators said in unison. In the same sentence, "This tactic is somewhat effective at first, but if you keep playing like this, problems will definitely arise. This tactic is not solving the problem at all, but creating conflicts!"
The commentator's worries did not go away. It affected the game on the field. West Ham United players, who were trailing by four goals at halftime, played very violently.
In the 34th minute after the opening, West Ham United took a free kick in the frontcourt. Lampard made a tackle directly in front of the penalty area. West Ham United midfielder Boa Motte was thrown to the ground.
Boa Motte was very angry after he fell to the ground and kicked Lampard directly. Lampard retreated silently and avoided it, but Boa Mote refused to let go and continued to kick Lampard with his legs. Lampard couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Boa Motte down.
Referee Walton rushed towards the whistle. After being reminded by the assistant referee, Walton took out the red card and sent off Lampard directly.
Mourinho immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the fourth official. What he didn't notice was that Endritt also ran towards the scene of the accident immediately.
Nearby Chelsea players surrounded Walton. They thought the red card was too much. Although Lampard tackled Boa Motte and finally pushed him down, it was not because of Boa Motte. Kick Lampard?
The sounds of the players and the boos from the fans in the stands made referee Wharton have veins jumping on his forehead. He put the whistle to his mouth and was about to blow the whistle to tell them to disperse and continue the game when Endrit finally rushed over. , he stretched out his hand to push his teammates aside and walked into the encirclement.
Wharton subconsciously took away the whistle and looked at Endrit, who was running over and panting.
"Mr. Wharton," Endritt took a step forward, "I'm not questioning the red card you issued. It's just that Boa Motte didn't get a card when he kicked Lampard directly after he fell to the ground? This is Is this behavior allowed by the Football Association? Tackle is an action often used by players, just like Paul Scholes of Manchester United. He often uses tackles to defend his possession of the ball, so he often gets cards. , but no one questioned the Football Association. "
"We will not question Lampard's red card just now, but if there is no penalty for Boa Mote's action after falling to the ground, then all subsequent games will be repeated. In such a situation, with Boa Motte's lesson learned, wouldn't our football match become a free-fighting match? We must punish those who deserve it, but we must not make any openings that cannot be made. , Mr. Wharton, are you right?"
Wharton pursed his lips, and the first thing he said was, "Do you know my name?"
Endrit was stunned for a second, and noticed that Wharton was a little annoyed. He nodded immediately after the expression, "Yes! It's because you are the referee, so I say this, because I know Mr. Walton that you have always been committed to making the game more fair and just. You are a referee worthy of everyone's respect." "
Wharton coughed slightly, waved and walked out of the circle surrounded by Chelsea players. He first looked at the linesman and confirmed to him that Boa Motte hit Lampard twice with his legs after falling to the ground, and then headed towards Boa Motte took out a red card.
The players of West Ham United exploded instantly. They gathered around and said that this was unfair! Boa Motte was tackled by Lampard, and Lampard even pushed Boa Mote!
Walton nodded, "So I have given Lampard a red card, and you West Ham United will get a direct free kick penalty opportunity."
"Dudududu..."
The game restarted, West Ham United forward Ko Er kicked the football towards the goal with full of anger. Endrit jumped high and held the football firmly in his arms.
At the end of the first half, West Ham United forward Cole volleyed in the penalty area, and Endritt swooped in and pressed the football under him.
A minute later, Walton blew the whistle to end the game, and the Chelsea players quickly spit out the words they had been holding back after returning to the locker room.
"Why didn't you just pass Cole's last shot, Ritter? If we seize the opportunity, we can score another one!"
Endrit slumped on the chair, unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip. Then he threw the bottle to Makelele, who was standing and talking without feeling pain in his back, "The other side is almost pissed off. We are here to play football, not to fight. Can we still play the game after a few more cards?" "
If the opponent deliberately commits a foul, will we still be able to play the Champions League game on the 6th?"
Endritt turned to look at Lampard, who shrank his neck and hid himself behind Ballack. Endritt's eyelids He jumped and tilted his head unbearably, but said nothing more.
"Ritter," Ballack pulled Lampard away from him and walked to sit next to Endrit. "You were too calm and rational when you talked to the referee today. It was me. You must say bad words."
Endrit turned to look at Barak and raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Ahem," Barak put his arm around Endrit's shoulders with a brotherly look on his face, "We will meet again later. When it comes to this kind of thing, you say it? I think the referee listens to you..."
"What do you mean by listening to me? If you say it nicely, you have your own reasons, then the referee will definitely listen."
"No, no, no . ," Ballack shook his head, "In that case, everyone was very restrained in not spitting on each other on the court."
Endrit covered his face and sighed, "No, I am the goalkeeper! If you have a conflict in the penalty area on the opposite side, do you still want me to run over? Will the day lily be cold by the time I get there?"
Barak paused and sighed deeply: Damn it! Why is Ritter the goalkeeper! This time I can't get whoring for nothing.
"In the second half, let's just play normally."
"Why? Practice more...Ah, damn, why are West Ham United so bad?"
"Forget it, they still like to beat people, making it difficult for us..."
"... ..."
Endrit retreated silently: West Ham United, I didn't say a bad word about you!
