Chapter six hundred and forty seventh Mourinho broke the boat

.After Kaka chatted with Alonso for a few words, Alonso took a few steps back, as if he wanted to give the free kick to Kaka. Jose looked motionless off the court, but he smiled slightly in his heart - it seems that these two guys also thought of this...

Then Jose swept in the penalty area and he became more certain. He also noticed that most of the Chelsea players' attention was on Kaka and Alonso, and the other Mallorca players in the penalty area were not too tightly - after all, at such a close distance, the possibility of passing the ball does not seem to be too high...

However, they ignored one thing, often the classic free kick cooperation is completed at such a distance!

Mourinho did not notice this either. Mallorca's previous continuous attacks made them highly focused and they also made them ignore many other things. Their current eyes are just about Kaka and Alonso in front of the ball, and ignore other players.

The referee blew a whistle that could take the penalty, Kaka began to accelerate, and then suddenly ran from the side of the ball as he approached the ball, while Alonso rushed up from behind!

Chelsea players were shaken by Kaka, and now their attention was more on Alonso. After running close to the ball, Alonso did not shoot, but raised his foot and sent the ball directly against the periphery of the wall into the penalty area!

The moment he passed the ball, Klose, who was mixed in the wall of the man, suddenly turned around and rushed into the penalty area. Alonso's straight pass quickly reached Klose's feet!

Cech abandoned the goal and attacked - because when Klose got the ball, there was no defensive player on his side. The Chelsea players who formed a wall behind him had just had time to turn around. If Cech did not attack, he would give Klose a goal...

But after seeing Cech attack, Klose swung his right foot inside and passed the ball directly from Cech to the back point...

Torres, who rushed out of the crowd, came up with a push shot! Terry rushed over and wanted to block Torres' shot in the middle, but he was still a step slower and the ball rolled into the goal!

"gooooooooooal! Fernando - Torres! His fourth goal in the Champions League this season! Klose's selfless pass gave Torres the opportunity to face the empty goal, and Torres did not let Klose go this cross pass. Mallorca used a beautiful set piece to complete the goal. In the case of a free kick, they still scored such a goal by almost passing the ball into the goal. Chelsea is a little dangerous now. They must score two goals in the next game to drag the game into overtime!"

Torres pointed at Klose and ran over, then picked it up suddenly. Klose smiled and hugged Torres in his arms, then stretched out his fist to signal to the stands. The Mallorca fans in the stands responded to them with warm applause - this goal met all their needs - gorgeous, beautiful cooperation, round-trip passes, and easy scoring...

For Chelsea, this goal was a heavy blow!

In the positional battle, they withstood Mallorca's attack, but in a set piece, Mallorca scored a gorgeous goal that was no less than a goal in the positional battle. For Chelsea players, they would rather lose two goals like the previous game than let the opponent complete such an easy goal!

This feeling of anger made them launch a fierce attack in the next period, and it also rarely suppressed Mallorca's attack and continuously produced shots. However, at this time, Mallorca retreated slightly and began to stand in the midfield to resist Chelsea's attack. In the backcourt, there was no room for Chelsea. Moreover, the two full-backs of Rammecon were quite tight in the breakthrough and defense of Roben Duff, Chelsea was able to create opportunities more often than not.

Lampard made a cross from the left, Vidic headed the ball to clear the ball, Duff outside the penalty area intercepted the ball and immediately took a long shot, and the ball hit the side net heavily.

Mallorca launched a counterattack. Torres received a direct pass from Alonso and then shot at the front of the penalty area and was blocked by Terry.

In the 38th minute, Robben, who retreated to the midfield, took the ball, and then he began to dribble forward. Mallorca's players did not rashly go up and save. Senna and Alonso hit him left and right, and he could only move along the route set by Mallorca. Robben, who seemed a little independent, did not pass the ball, but broke through to the 30-meter area and suddenly took a long shot. Van der Sar flew to save the ball, and then quickly got up and pressed the ball under him before Drogba made a follow-up shot.

In the 44th minute, Mendieta made a foul while intercepting in the midfield. Ferreira directly passed the ball into the penalty area, Drogba headed the ball back, and Duff shot high from the front of the penalty area.

This shot was also Chelsea's last shot in the first half. Mallorca resisted Chelsea's crazy counterattack and successfully maintained the advantage of leading by one goal until the end of the first half - the whole first half was not very good, Mallorca intentionally slowed down the offensive rhythm and played a good effect. Chelsea's offensive rhythm was completely unable to be played. If Mourinho did not respond well in the second half, then Chelsea would not have any chance in this game!

Mourinho is also quite clear about this, but compared with Jose, his disadvantages are too obvious. The home defeat forced him to strengthen his offense on the away game, but if he pressed to attack, the flaws in the backcourt would be quite obvious. Although both Mallorca's forwards are not fast players, Kaka's personal surprise alone is enough to make Chelsea's defense line have a lot of flaws. Their full-backs have great flaws, and Ferrei and Gala are not enough to make people feel relieved. Carvalho and Terry's strength is also based on their defensive system. These two defenders are extremely powerful defenders in position defense. If enough space is left, they are relatively fragile defenders...

Mourinho seems to have a headache in this situation.

However, he did not lack the courage to rush to the end. Through the first half, he already knew that if he didn't put on the attack, it would be a dead end. Mallorca's midfield control can keep this slow pace until the end.

If you press the attack, you may equalize the score or even win the game, or you may be hit by Mallorca's continuous counterattack until it explodes. If you don't press the attack, you will be able to suffocate to death. This choice can be made by Mourinho almost without considering it.

If he is not risky and has the possibility of winning, Mourinho doesn't mind using it, but in this case, he still has the ability to make decisions like a gambler.

"The situation is very obvious now. If we don't score at least two goals in the second half and don't let them score, then we will die. Since we will die, then we will work hard. Move forward in the second half and strengthen the offense, so that Mallorca can see what Chelsea is like when attacking with all their strength... Maybe our offense is not as gorgeous as them, but our offense can also make everyone tremble!"

Mourinho's ability to boost morale is also excellent. He is a head coach who is enough to make players play for him. With his encouragement, the morale of Chelsea players quickly recovered, and he also began to make a series of arrangements.

He first replaced Duff with Crespo to increase his ability to grab points in the penalty area - although he doesn't like Crespo, he sometimes still has to use Crespo. Unlike Drogba, Crespo is more like a pure shooter. Although he can also make the ball, his sense of smell in the penalty area is the best.

Then, Glenn Johnson replaced his beloved Ferreira. Johnson's wing offense could strongly support Chelsea's wing off firepower. As for defense... Mourinho no longer cared about so much at this time. Since he wanted to attack, then attack wholeheartedly and not attacked with one mind...

The most taboo thing on the football field is to be two-minded, either don’t do it or do it well, do half-do it, don’t do it half-do it, want to please both sides, the last possibility is to not rely on both sides, black is black, white is white, there will be no middle on the football field, such knockout matches will not have middle, either you die or I die, unlike the league sometimes you can still fight for a draw, it’s impossible to say that UEFA saw these two teams perform well, it’s a pity to eliminate one, so let you two enter the quarterfinals together...

The practice of Dongbang and Nange tied for championships among young football players will never appear in reality. Football matches will be a game where there will be only one winner in the end.

When Jose saw Chelsea's lineup during the break, he knew Mourinho's idea - to attack with all his might and leave no way out!

In fact, there is no way to stay. Jose will do the same thing if he changes to him. Sometimes he even does more extreme things than Mourinho. For example, in the semi-finals against Monaco two seasons ago, he was not satisfied with the loss of one to two in the first round but strengthened his offense. Although he lost in the end, Jose did not regret it - if you come out, you will either blow people or beat you. What's the point of worrying about? As long as you still mess around, there will always be a time to blow things back.

Thinking of this, Jose forgot one thing. In fact, it took a long time for most coaches to explode after being exploded...

Jose did not choose to substitute. Although it may be more beneficial to switch to Silva, who is faster at this time, he does not want to do so. In addition to having absolute confidence in his team, he also firmly believes that Chelsea may be able to score some goals by pressing the attack, but Mallorca can score more goals!

Don’t think that my main lineup can only play positional battles, and we are no worse than your Chelsea in counterattacks! You know, our offensive line is also very suitable for counterattacks. Whether it is Torres, who has strong individual combat capabilities, Klose, who has excellent ball and cooperation skills, or Kaka, who is unparalleled in counterattacks, they are enough to make Chelsea’s defense line frustrated!

Perhaps these three people are not enough to shake Chelsea's defense in the positional battle, and they must have the help of others, but in the counterattack... these three people are enough! What's more, Mallorca's midfielder also has Alonso who is good at dispatching and Mendeta who is good at long passes and transfers. With these two people in the midfield as the support point for firepower, Mallorca's counterattack will definitely be able to stab Chelsea's seven inches with a knife!

For Jose, he also has his own pride. In addition to his absolute trust in himself, his absolute trust in the team Mallorca!

This is a super strong team he has built in five years, and it is his pride!
