Chapter 360: Change your life?Pay the tuition first!
Scolari's coaching career over the past few years has been smooth, even brilliant.
In 2002, he led the Brazilian national team to win the World Cup.
Two years later, if not for Greece's dark horse miracle, Luiz Scolari almost led Portugal to win the European Cup. First winning the World Cup and then the European Cup, such an achievement will inevitably go further in history.
Yes, historical status.
There is no need to compare yourself to fellow coaches in the modern era.
In the 2006 World Cup, Portugal led Portugal to the semi-finals. At the European Cup that ended this summer, Portugal had the same fate as the Netherlands, entering the knockout rounds and then returning home.
Unlike the Netherlands' upset loss to Russia, Portugal lost to runner-up Germany. The result was not good, but they left with dignity.
Scolari ended his journey coaching the Portuguese national team.
Now that he is in Stamford Bridge, he promises to bring sexy Samba football to Abramovich.
It seems that the past few years have been smooth sailing and he has the authority to rule the world.
As a result, Scolari had a condescending aura.
Bringing in Deco, who is a direct descendant of the team, obviously created hidden dangers for Chelsea's already well-staffed midfield.
Deco's ability and role must be the core in the midfield.
But Chelsea has Lampard and Ballack.
If at least one defensive midfielder is required, if there is a three-midfield system, then Ballack, Deco, and Lampard will be competing for two out of three.
The abandonment of Drogba on the front line is absolutely incredible to the outside world.
Even if Drogba has not produced gorgeous statistics in the Premier League in the past few seasons, he is at least a top-five forward.
Especially after Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry left.
Chelsea are now at a stage where they must produce results.
Once Scolari cannot bring the team an ideal record.
Those unstable factors within the team will turn into bombs that may explode at any time.
Elland Road Stadium.
Leeds United faced Chelsea at home.
The fans in white are extremely enthusiastic.
But Shen Hao was very cautious.
With many of Leeds United's main players absent, it will not be easy to fight in the big5 civil war. Even with the advantage of home court, it is difficult to be optimistic.
Leeds United started 433.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Kelly, Helguera, Kilgallon, Van Bronckhorst.
Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Seth Johnson.
Forwards: Deisler, Ronaldo, Ze Roberto.
In order to strengthen the midfield defense, Shen Hao used defensive midfielder Seth Johnson to replace Rakitic today.
Chelsea start 442.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Bosingwa, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Essien, Lampard, Deco, Ballack.
Forward: Joe Cole, Anelka.
Scolari looked solemn on the sidelines.
Leeds United has his former favorite in the Brazilian national team, Ronaldo, and this is a huge threat.
Shen Hao looked at Chelsea's lineup thoughtfully.
He guessed that Chelsea's starting lineup should be 4312 or 4132 after breakdown.
It made him feel like Scolari was going to show off his face.
Chelsea is not without wingers.
Malouda and Kalou are both on the bench.
But there was only one Joe Cole.
It may also be that in order to avoid conflicts in the midfield, the best midfielders are thrown out.
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.
Chelsea maintains the steady style of the past, and Leeds United also plays steadily.
At the same time, Leeds United are consciously testing Chelsea.
Changing coaches is like changing knives.
I don’t know if the Blue Army’s new knife is handy.
With both sides lacking offensive space, Leeds United's offensive system is smoother and has a higher degree of offensive completion.
Because they were able to make full use of the width of the field, whether it was Ze Roberto or Deisler, receiving from the wing and then delivering shells into the penalty area, whether successful or not, they completed the attack.
Chelsea's attack is... a little constipated.
The distance between the midfielders was too close, and there was no extreme support to tear apart Leeds United's defense.
The full-backs are very cautious in assisting, and without developing into the deep area, it is difficult to really cause obvious displacement of Leeds United's defense.
Passes passed around the midfield, with Lampard, Ballack and Deco moving forward from time to time to seize the opportunity and shoot a long shot.
When trying to cooperate with Anelka and Joe Cole, Leeds United shrunk their defense to complete the siege.
Because the distance is too close, the space is small.
Leeds United's siege efficiency is naturally high.
Helguera calmly commanded the defense and played the role of a defensive leader.
Shen Hao watched the situation develop and became increasingly confused.
What about sexy football?
What about samba football?
where is it?
How does Scolari plan to fulfill his promise?
You can't just abuse food and fight beautifully, right?
Today, Leeds United's forward line lacks an absolute main force, and the back line also lacks an absolute main force.
Against this background, Leeds United's caution is certainly well-founded.
However, Chelsea's kicking around has strengthened the short passing in the midfield than in the past. As for the front line, Anelka goes it alone, Joe Cole continues the downward trend of last season, and the rest is Chelsea's midfield team. Luck-like long shot.
To be honest, the offense was a bit of a mess.
The personal spirituality of Samba football is invisible.
You can’t even see the gorgeous combination of sexy football.
To be a qualified marshal, Shen Hao has already mastered the trick of bragging.
But he is still far behind in the skill of drawing pie.
Chelsea fans were watching the game with frowns throughout, their expressions slightly distorted at times, and overall they felt uncomfortable.
Chelsea in the past was still very organized.
Even though everyone knows that they just want to fight against counterattacks.
But once Chelsea is given a chance, those who defend against counterattacks will be fast, accurate and ruthless. The knife will fall with blood in his hand, and his throat will be sealed with blood.
Well now.
It seems to be more active than in the past, the time of possession of the ball has increased, and the number of passes has also increased, but the short passes back and forth between the midfield team seem to be playing with themselves.
The connection with the forward line and the continuation of the offensive effect are very poor.
Going around and around, brewing for a long time.
The final attack may not be completed yet.
This makes people feel uncomfortable.
Although Leeds United has a high degree of offensive completion, it cannot create great opportunities.
Modric was obviously restricted today.
Chelsea's group of muscular men set up an interception line in the midfield. Even if it was not a high-level blockade, it was not as conservative as in the past, squeezing Modric's space in the midfield to a certain extent.
Shen Hao was not in a hurry.
From the English crown to the European throne.
His mentality has been tempered into steel.
Sometimes I won't force it.
The lack of main force means the lack of combat power.
Under objective conditions, we still follow the trend.
Never go against the trend unless absolutely necessary.
At the end of the half, the two teams ended in a draw.
After returning to the locker room, Shen Hao made some suggestions to ask the midfielder to strengthen the restriction on Chelsea's long-range shot threat.
Neuer saved all the balls that should have been saved in the first half. He performed well and allowed Leeds United fans to further understand his strength.
The young man is young, but he is calm and calm in big situations, and he has the air of a general.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Shen Hao simply returned to the coaching bench and sat down, watching the game patiently.
Scolari is still supervising the game from the sidelines.
In fact, judging from the result, if Chelsea can escape from Elland Road, this is definitely a result that Chelsea can accept.
But it is because of the objective factor that Leeds United lacks the main force today.
Everyone feels that Chelsea's overall strength, if not overwhelming Leeds United, can still have a slight advantage.
But if you can't even create some obvious threats, even if you leave with a draw, it will probably be unsatisfactory.
Unknowingly, Leeds United retreated slightly in the midfield when defending and tightened the central defense area.
Limiting Chelsea's long-range shooting space.
At the same time, Ze Roberto and Deisler also assisted in defense in the full midfield area for a long time.
Ronaldo naturally retreated from his position.
Leeds United retreated, and Chelsea did not significantly press forward. However, when the flow of the game continued to see and see, Chelsea still unconsciously moved forward.
After 65 minutes of the game, Leeds United took the initiative to make substitutions.
Baynes and Belletti appear.
Jamie Redknapp and Kelly were substituted.
Ze Roberto returned to the midfielder position.
Baines played left midfielder.
Van Bronckhorst remains on the field.
It seems that Leeds United intend to strengthen their defense.
After the substitution, after 70 minutes of the game, Chelsea suddenly formed a siege on Leeds United's defense!
This scene feels strange to Chelsea and Leeds United fans.
It's not like Leeds United haven't been beaten by others.
But it was my first time to be beaten by Chelsea!
Lampard and Ballack each hit long-range shots and bounced off Leeds United players.
Just after the 75th minute of the game, Kalou, who came on as a substitute, cut in from the wing to receive the ball, but was intercepted by Seth Johnson's defensive tackle.
After stealing the ball, Seth Johnson did not get up, fell to the ground and swept the ball to the wing.
After taking possession of the ball, Van Bronckhorst quickly dribbled forward. After encountering Bosingwa who had just made an assist but did not return, Van Bronckhorst passed the ball inside.
Modric came to receive the ball and kicked the ball to the front of the wing with the instep of his outside foot.
Baines started the ball and reached the dangerous offensive area in two steps. When Essien rushed in, Baines decisively passed the ball across the middle.
Essien braked suddenly and looked back.
I don’t know when Deisler came to the middle!
Deisler received the ball and advanced.
Terry and Carvalho retreated to attack Ronaldo, but when they saw Ronaldo trying to counter the offside, they both stopped at the same time and then moved forward to press Deisler.
At the same time, the offside was completed!
But just as the two were about to get close, Deisler passed the ball.
Terry and Carvalho raised their hands at the same time to indicate that Ronaldo was offside.
But when they turned around, they discovered that Deisler's ball was not passed to Ronaldo!
On the path of the football rolling towards the left area in front of the penalty area, Baynes ran wildly and cut inside!
The linesman followed the football all the way along the wing and ran towards the baseline, without ever raising the flag in his hand!
Cech is stunned!
Since he joined Chelsea, there has almost never been an opponent who broke through the defense like this.
Baines took a step towards the penalty area, deliberately trying to take advantage of the offensive depth. Otherwise, he would pass the ball directly and Ronaldo might be offside in the middle.
But after he took a step towards the ball, Ronaldo adjusted his position in the middle, which naturally ensured that the response would not be offside.
Baynes passed the ball across the middle.
Cech struck out and Ronaldo stopped the ball at the penalty spot and then took a shot.
But when Cech got in front of him and opened his arms to block the ball, he spiked the ball to the right.
After spiking the ball, he moved his right foot and completely passed Cech!
Ronaldo then easily pushed the ball into the empty goal!
"Oh! But Ronaldo, whose goalkeeper can't shoot, scored!"
"Baines is a real substitute, and his impact is really exciting!"
"Deisler played a key role again. He came to the middle to take over and showed an excellent overall view. He accurately scored the ball and fully assessed the situation."
"Having said that, we fought back against Chelsea, which really made me feel a little uncomfortable."
"Haha, Chelsea needs to change their way of life. They can't just play defense as in the past. Since they want to change, of course they have to pay tuition."
The Chelsea fans' expressions were distorted, they had been feeling uncomfortable, and now they felt like they wanted to die.
Leeds United fans cheered wildly and were also surprised by Chelsea's performance.
As long as Chelsea puts Drogba at the front, there will still be a threat of overtaking.
This group of muscular midfielders insists on passing the ball with their feet, but they cannot play with the smoothness of mercury.
There is no tissue penetration beyond imagination.
I really don’t know why they claim to play sexy and romantic football.
In terms of details, who in the Premier League can be more detailed than Arsenal?
Chelsea is obviously the toughest team in the Premier League, so they have to play the trick of being a tough guy.
This in itself is completely different from the team's own characteristics and style.
But there is no way, Abramovich wants gorgeous offensive football.
Scolari's face instantly turned ugly.
In terms of statistics, Chelsea is better than Leeds United.
But look at the score, Leeds United are now in the lead.
Originally, Chelsea had the ability to escape unscathed.
It's hard to say now.
Shen Hao laughed directly after seeing Ronaldo score.
His smile in the camera does not look like he is simply celebrating a goal, but he feels incredible about Chelsea's performance.
It was obviously a team that was pursuing an invincible style, but suddenly it had an idea that it shouldn't have, and ended up picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon!
Now it may be even more difficult.
Shen Hao used the last substitution.
Candela came on to replace Van Bronckhorst.
Then he walked to the sidelines with a smile, collected his emotions, his expression became calm and composed, and he gestured to the team.
Strengthen your defense.
Scolari was impatient.
Carvalho was removed and replaced with Malouda.
Leeds United's entire army has retreated, and its protective capabilities are basically full based on the current personnel.
Deisler retreated, leaving only Ronaldo in front.
Chelsea's attack began to hit the wings.
But Leeds United's wing defense has also strengthened!
As a result, Chelsea could not attack.
It can even be said that Kalou and Malouda are in no shape at all.
On the contrary, just after the 85th minute of the game, after Leeds United switched from defense to offense, Belletti sent a precise diagonal pass from the right side of the backcourt.
The football flew to the middle of the frontcourt. Ronaldo stopped the ball with his chest and then took a small step back for half a step. Then he knocked the ball and turned around, allowing Terry who was rushing up to grab the ball and Essien who was double-teamed to save the air.
The moment he accelerated the ball and successfully broke through to form a single, Terry turned around and knocked Ronaldo to the ground with a sweeping kick.
Leeds United fans were instantly furious!
The referee's whistle sounded. Before Terry could stand up, he saw the referee pull out a red card for him!
Killing Leeds United's one-on-one opportunity is no exaggeration!
