Chapter 194 Right Attack Storm (3)

Selhurst Park Stadium, home team dressing room.

After Daowei entered the locker room, he slammed the door shut. Looking at the players in the room who were all looking unhappy with their heads down, he became very annoyed and shouted, "Look at what you have done!"

"This is Selhurst Park, the home ground of Crystal Palace, our territory! Look at what you are playing. Just because you are worth less, do you think you are not good enough? You played so terribly! Facing the luxurious Chelsea team, you only fell behind by one goal. Are you proud of that?"

After hearing what Dowie said, the Crystal Palace players still felt uncomfortable even though they knew he was trying to provoke them. After all, this was Selhurst Park and it was really embarrassing that they played like this in front of so many fans.

Daowei took a long breath and softened his tone. He said, "In the beginning of the first half, we played very well and even scored the first goal. I thought this was a perfect start, but I didn't expect you to play like that after the opponent equalized the score. The first goal can be said to be just a flash of inspiration from a talented star, and there was also some luck involved. I can't say anything, but the second goal was a defensive mistake by the team."

Hudson asked, "Sir, do we still need to keep an eye on the No. 21 guy in the second half? He seems to be playing right back. Should Popovich and I keep an eye on him near midfield?"

Dawe held the tactical board in both hands and paced back and forth in the locker room for a few steps before he stopped and frowned and said, "The No. 21 may be very strong in personal ability, but he has just joined Chelsea, and the coordination between him and his teammates must not be very good, and his defensive ability is not very good. So in the second half, we must strengthen the attack on the left. Korka, you switch to the left in the second half and use your speed to dribble and look for opportunities."

After hearing what Dawes said, Popovich opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "So sir, what about defense?"

Dawe stopped, turned his head and stared at Popovich, and said word by word: "I don't ask you and Hudson to defend closely throughout the court, but the team's left side must be guarded well. No matter what method is used, the black-haired boy's attack on the left must be stopped. Boyce, you should also take care of the left side."

After Dowie finished speaking in one breath, he slowed down and continued: "After the game starts, we must launch a continuous attack, but all defenders must stay behind, and it is best to organize the attack from the left. Remember, the focus of the attack in the second half will be on the left. The opponent's right has Lampard, Carvalho and Terry. It is difficult for us to break through the defense of these players. Chelsea's left side now only has Alan Wang, Wayne Bridge and Joe Cole. These three are not good at defense. We must take advantage of the opportunity when Mourinho has not discovered this and launch an attack!"

Although what Dawe said made sense, many of the older players didn't agree. Chelsea's head coach Mourinho was a treble winner. It was ridiculous that such a star coach couldn't see the loopholes in the team's defense. Besides, were the three players on the other side really not good at defense?

'The team didn't play many attacks in the first half, so how can we know whether they are good at defense? ' Many people thought silently, but they didn't say it out loud because it would definitely dampen the team's already low offensive enthusiasm.

In the away team's locker room, Mourinho was also pointing and drawing on the tactical board. The players were sitting together, listening to the Portuguese champion coach's explanation of tactics. Chelsea was only leading by one goal, which was absolutely not safe at all, just like the goal scored by Crystal Palace in the first half. He didn't want any accidents to turn the three points into one point.

"In the first half, everyone did a good job. The opponent's goal was just an accident, so don't take it to heart. However, we must pay attention to defense at the beginning of the second half. The opponent will definitely take advantage of the opening opportunity to launch a wave of attacks. As long as we can hold on, victory will be at hand. I guess they will play on the right. The right side now is Alan, Bridge and Joe. The three of you are young players, and in the first half of the game, you all showed your offensive ability. The opponent's coach will think that the right side is Chelsea's weak point."

"However, we must not be careless. The opponent's players such as Rodriguez, Korka and Hughes have good offensive capabilities. We must not be careless. Also, we must stabilize our formation. As long as we stabilize our formation, we will definitely win the game."

At this time, Carvalho asked doubtfully: "Boss, how about switching positions with me, Wayne?"

Carvalho has played under Mourinho for more than two years. In the team, only an 'old man' like him, who works under Mourinho, dares to speak frankly. However, because of this, his interpersonal relationships in the team are not very good. For example, this sentence of his offended Bridge. When the opponent attacks on the right, he has to exchange positions with Bridge. Doesn't it mean that Bridge's defensive ability is not as good as his?

Although this is a fact recognized by everyone in the team, it will make people feel bad if it is actually said out loud... Mourinho thought about it and said, "No need, let's keep the original formation." He certainly knows the character of his disciple. Although doing so may make the team have a higher chance of winning, he also wants to train the young players' abilities. Besides, doing so can also maintain harmony in the locker room.

...Just as Mourinho expected, after the start of the second half, Crystal Palace launched a massive attack at the beginning, with the momentum to equalize the score at the beginning. In the face of this attack, Chelsea was actually in a passive position for a while.

Many people say that there are no weak teams in Serie A. In fact, this is also true in the Premier League. Many mid-level teams can be relegated if they are not careful. Although Crystal Palace's players are much less valuable than Chelsea, they can still be very threatening if they really exert all their strength to attack.

But in fact, Daowei's wishful thinking completely failed.

On Chelsea's right side, Joe Cole's defensive ability is indeed not outstanding, but Bridge's ability should never be underestimated. After Bridge transferred from Southampton to Chelsea, he seemed to be a relatively unknown player, and his role on the field did not seem obvious, but the reason why Eriksson and Mourinho trusted him, recruited him into the national team, and gave him a chance to play was because he was physically fit, decisive in intercepting the ball, and accurate in crossing. He was a standard English full-back, and people trusted him very much. Maybe you can deceive Bridge with dazzling fake moves, but it is not easy to get rid of him.

Besides, there is Wang Li on the right. Maybe he showed more offensive ability in previous games, and rarely trained his defensive ability in normal training. But with his body movement and speed, who can get rid of him with the ball? If he can also steal with his shadowless kick, or use the one-finger yang, it is OK... Therefore, the tactics that Dawes formulated to attack Chelsea's right side are just superficial, but actually useless. Korka wanted to break through from the right and pass the ball every time, but he was directly intercepted by Wang Li three times in a row, which made the coach Dawes on the sidelines call him "waste".

Of course, such continuous mistakes will always cause trouble for the team.

In another attack by Crystal Palace, Korka and Hughes' mutual cooperation was once again cleanly blocked by Wang Li, and then Crystal Palace was faced with Chelsea's massive counterattack.

Again on the right, Wang Li kicked the ball to Carvalho, who easily passed Korca with his dancing feet. Then he received a return pass from Carvalho, and then made a beautiful pass, easily getting rid of Hudson. In this game, Wang used this method to pass Hudson countless times. He pushed the ball hard, and then used his dancing feet to directly pass Hudson. This trick worked every time. In front of Wang Li's trick, Hudson was at best a wooden stake - well, it didn't matter whether he moved or not.

"Alan!" "Attack!" "Come on!"

Seeing Wang Li once again display his unparalleled speed to break through from the right, the Chelsea fans in the audience immediately became excited. They are now 100% satisfied with this young player from Wolverhampton. Moreover, every time he passes through, his quick and shining movements can make the fans mesmerized. It is really eye-catching!

After shaking off Hudson, Wang Li did not choose to continue passing Boyce, but changed direction and dribbled the ball towards the middle. After dozens of minutes of the game, he also knew that this "cute" looking black player was still very strong in defense, and it would take a lot of time to shake him off.

After Wang Li dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area line, he put his left foot a little to the left of the ball, took two quick steps to control the ball, pulled the ball back, turned around with his heel and chased the ball. These consecutive movements made the two Crystal Palace defenders next to him lose track of the ball.

Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, Wang Li kicked the ball with his right foot on the left side, and the ball passed between the two defenders and rolled to the left side of the penalty area.

Waiting there is the 'evil spirit' Drogba!!

In front of this monster from Côte d'Ivoire, there was only one close defender and goalkeeper Speroni!

However, surprisingly, this time the 'beast' did not choose to score with his personal ability, but grinned and touched the left side of the ball, and the ball rolled to the right again - the one who appeared in front of the ball was Chelsea's No. 21 - Wang Li! !

After these passes, Speroni was completely confused and didn't know what to do. Wang Li just stretched his foot in front of the ball and the ball rolled into the goal.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!" At this moment, James Richardson transformed into Graham, and he expressed his excitement at the moment with a long roar! !

"It's Chelsea's No. 21 youngster Alan Wang again!! He scored again!! In Chelsea's first round of the league, this English super genius scored two goals, and this time, he scored two more goals for the team. He is really omnipotent! Maybe for Alan, scoring a goal is as easy as taking something out of a bag. Maybe those superstars who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary would feel ashamed when they know about Alan's existence!!"

Fortunately, Mr. Chelsea's "evil spirit", although worth a lot, his salary is not as good as Wang Li's, so it seems that he has nothing to be ashamed of...
