v2 Chapter 343： Episode 343: Chelsea coach Grant

The Stamford Bridge stadium was overcrowded and the atmosphere was hot!

The players on both sides are already on the pitch and the game is about to begin.

The starting list for both parties today is as follows:

Home team: Chelsea, head coach: Grant, formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Peter Cech

Four defenders [from left to right]: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ales and Belletti

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Michael Essien, Makelele and Frank Lampard

Three forwards [from left to right]: Salomon Kalu, Drogba and Joe Cole

This is Chelsea's lineup today. This lineup and tactics are actually in the same vein as Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho has built Chelsea into a very strong team, and many people claim that Chelsea is now at its peak.

Many people also think that Grant does not have any tactical ideas and systems at all. He has almost nothing of his own, and is something that continues Jose Mourinho. Although Chelsea fired Jose Mourinho, they still use Jose Mourinho's stuff!

This is quite ironic!

Away team: Leeds United, Head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Four defenders [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Pique, Ivanovic and Sarnia

Single back: Sedu Keita

Three avant-garde [from left to right]: Frank Ribery, Luca Modric and Joaquin

Double forwards: Luca Tony and Edison Cavani

This is the starting list of Leeds United today. You see that this is the normal starting list of Leeds United. This is the main starting list of Leeds United at this stage.

Both Pique and Gary Cahill on the back line were injured and have yet to recover from injury, so Ivanovic was given the opportunity to start. Mohamed Sissoko on the lower back was also injured and has not recovered. Sedu Keita appeared on the starting list.

Mohammed Sissoko, however, is a player introduced by Zhong Cheng heavily, hoping to build him into the absolute back of Leeds United. Unfortunately, this guy came to Leeds United and was seriously injured. Now the position of the lower back is that Sedu Keita has settled the main force, and then Stephen Mbia substitutes. Yaya Toure is the third substitute back and forth before the back and front!

The midfield and frontcourt are the absolute main lineup of Leeds United. Frank Ribery returned to the starting lineup after a few games of adjustments and recovery after recovering from injury.

I don't know what kind of performance Frank Ribery will give in this game.

The players on the bench at Leeds United are goalkeeper Simon Mignole, guards include Matz Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Gareth Bell, and midfielder Yaya Toure With Joan Gourcuff, there is Alexander Pato on the forward line.

This is all the members of the Leeds United team's eighteen people list!

At this time, Zhong Cheng was wearing a white suit, like a blooming white lotus flower, very eye-catching. The fans of the Leeds United from the field all screamed Zhong Cheng's name frantically, and the voice was the shout of countless female fans.

Sure enough, Zhong Cheng is still the idol in the minds of the female fans of Leeds United, the perfect lover, the national husband!

Zhong Cheng beckoned to the stands, and it suddenly attracted louder cheers!

At this moment, the referee sounded the whistle of the start of the game!

The first kick-off was the Leeds United from a long distance. As soon as they came up, the Leeds came with a sudden attack! Yes, Zhong Cheng has laid out a tactic to grab the opening!

Because Chelsea and Leeds are both defensive counterattack teams, the tactics are somewhat similar. If both teams counterattack, this game will be a bit dull, and it is not easy to break the opponent's goal!

Therefore, Zhong Cheng is going to grab the start!

Grant is a very principled and even a little pedantic!

Grant's tactics at Chelsea are based on what Jose Mourinho left behind, and he coached Chelsea. Many people even said that he was blindly emulating Jose Mourinho, so his coaching characteristics It's a bit rigid!

However, sometimes there are rigid benefits!

At least Grant will not be clever enough to destroy the tactical system and tactical thoughts that Jose Mourinho has managed to establish, so as to better ensure the integrity and immediate combat power of Chelsea.

So, now that Grant has taken over Chelsea, the team's record is still good.

However, the media reporters and fans attributed the credit to Jose Mourinho. Grant has always lived in the shadow of Jose Mourinho!

You have to say that Grant doesn't have any strength, he doesn't have any of his own stuff, that is absolutely false. On the contrary, in Zhong Cheng's opinion, Grant is still a very smart head coach and has some strength. Otherwise, how could he achieve a good result in Chelsea?

Changing to anyone to take over the Chelsea team may not be good for him.

So, Grant is a great guy!

Before the game, Zhong Cheng always reminded the players of Leeds United team that they must not underestimate Chelsea, and must not underestimate Grant. These are the reasons.

Because, Zhong Cheng knew that Grant was open-minded and even a little rigid. Therefore, he believes that Chelsea's opening is a defensive counterattack.

In addition, Chelsea's defensive counterattack is still very distinctive, unlike Leeds United's defensive counterattack.

Chelsea's defensive counterattack is more often a mad counterattack in the front and midfield. After the ball is intercepted, a pass between three feet is quickly launched to attack the opponent's goal.

And when it comes to defense, Chelsea can retreat across the board!

Therefore, it is quite difficult for general position attackers to break through Chelsea's goal. The Chelsea midfielder, especially the midfield and frontcourt, has a very strong interception and interception ability. You can see that the three defensive interception midfielders in the midfield are dedicated to this job.

Once the steals form a counterattack, the speed of the two sides of the frontcourt trio will be reflected. This is why Jose Mourinho likes to use players who have a very fast frontcourt. This is the effect he wants to fight back, and it is a very important part of the tactics.

In addition, Jose Mourinho's counter-attack tactics are still very demanding for wing players. They need to be faster and they must have a strong dribbling ability and ability to exit the ball. Understand how important these two wing positions are in Jose Mourinho's counterattack.

And the position of the center should be able to hold the ball, hold the defender, pass the ball, and the most important thing is that the impact on the front must be enough!

This is the characteristic of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea defensive counterattack.

This is also similar to the defensive counterattack of Leeds United. Zhong Cheng also has good requirements for the two frontcourts. Fast speed is the key and he has the ability to dribble and pass. Look at Frank Ribe. Li and Joaquin, as well as substitutes such as Samir Nasri and Eden Azar, all follow this path.

The defense of Leeds United is different from that of Chelsea. The defense of Leeds United is more integrated, more oppressive, has more physical contact, very iron blood, and their defense is more like a meat grinder!

Leeds United's defense is also very powerful!

Therefore, the two teams meet together. If there is no change, this game is difficult to score. Both teams' defense strength is very strong.

This is why Zhong Cheng has laid out a tactic to grab the opening!

Obviously, Grant did not expect Leeds United to come so suddenly, so at the beginning, Chelsea were a little flustered after seeing Leeds United's performance.

When kicking off in the middle circle. Like two sharp swords, Luca Tony and Eddingsson Cavani slammed Chelsea's penalty area one after the other.

The football was rolling quickly to the feet of Luka Modric!

Looking at Luka Modric's posture, one look is a long-footed long pass. Chelsea players are tight in their hearts. The Leeds United are about to attack.

At this time, the Chelsea players have not yet fully entered the state, and some are still a little hesitant.

Therefore, when seeing the two forwards of Leeds United rushing forward, the players on the back line and midfield are shrinking in the middle, squeezing the living space of Luca Tony and Edison Cavani. . At the same time, Chelsea's defensive players immediately flocked to Luca Tony and Eddinson Cavani, preventing the two from receiving the ball.

However, Luka Modric's long-footed pass did not pass to the middle, but sent the football to the side.

Sidewalker Hua Jin continued to advance, and there was a smooth road ahead of him.

Because the Chelsea players have taken in, they have given up the wing. Seeing this, Chelsea fans and players were surprised and secretly dangerous.

Chelsea's wing players immediately burst out frantically and intercepted.

However, at this time Joaquin has stopped the football steadily. Seeing Chelsea's winger Ashley Cole rushed up, Joaquin immediately stopped suddenly, it seems that the football is coming to the middle.

Ashley Cole rushed to the brakes, trying to stay in front of Joaquin, preventing him from moving forward.

However, at the moment Ashley Cole stopped suddenly, Joaquin suddenly kicked the football forward with his right foot. Then Joaquin flashed quickly and passed the emergency stop Ashley Cole in an instant.

Ashley Cole is very speechless!

Joaquin took advantage of the emergency stop to speed up and get rid of Ashley Cole, drew the ball directly and killed the Chelsea team's penalty area. The Chelsea fans at the scene were very nervous.

"Pretty, the attack from Leeds United was very beautiful. Chelsea are now in danger. They are really too slow to enter the state. Leeds United chance!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrence immediately shouted stand up.

Chelsea fans at the scene were frightened.

At this point, the central defender John Terry in the Chelsea team's restricted area immediately turned around and quickly rushed out. It was more dangerous not to rush out. John Terry must make a save, not to let Joaquin move on, but also not let Joaquin cross.

However, Joaquin's movement was much faster than John Terry. When John Terry flung out, Joaquin hurriedly kicked his legs and passed the kick directly.

Football is flying to the forefront of the penalty area!

This line is very dangerous. As long as someone touches the middle, the ball will almost certainly go!

The fans of the Chelsea team were so nervous that they couldn't speak, and they all stared anxiously.

"Luka Tony headed the goal!" BBC commentator Eddie Gray burst into a drink and startled Chelsea fans.
