Chapter 159 Midfield Strangle

In this game, Mourinho formed a formation of three midfielders in the midfield, a group of tough men who are good at closing in. m

They formed a meat grinder, and as long as Lazio's midfielders dared to come up, they would enter their meat grinder mouth.

The midfielder almost gave up the task of organizing the offense, which is to intercept and destroy Lazio's offense.

Arranging such a tactic at home is somewhat surprising.

But no one questioned and criticized.

This is Italy. If it were switched to Spain, Mourinho would have been scolded to death by his team's media for doing so.

In Italy, the result is greater than the process. As long as you can win the game, who cares how you win?

There are four midfielders, except for one Sneijder, the other three are defensive midfielders.

Their mission is simple, offense has nothing to do with them, they just need to defend.

Mourinho's three defensive midfielders in the midfield are Cambiasso in the center, Muntari on the right, and Mohamed Sissoko on the left.

Especially this Sissoko.

Unlike what Chang Sheng remembers, in the time and space that Chang Sheng is familiar with, Sissoko should still be in Juventus at this time.

But I didn't expect to come to Inter Milan now.

What does this mean?

This shows that he has influenced a lot of things.

After Sissoko was poached from Juventus by Inter Milan, he was not an absolute main force. He had to compete with Stankovic, Cambiasso, Sneijder and others for playing opportunities.

But in this game, he was placed in the starting lineup.

Obviously, Sissoko's transfer, which was different from Chang Sheng's memory, was aimed at him.

Mourinho needs a meat grinder who can tirelessly play in midfield.

Sissoko fits the bill.

He was hailed as the "New Vieira" by the media when he first debuted in Liverpool. His excellent running ability, pressing, and blocking positions made him the main midfielder of Liverpool.

But an eye injury nearly ended his career prematurely.

Later, because Liverpool introduced Mascherano. In the competition with the Argentine midfielder, he fell behind. Later, Liverpool introduced the young teenager Lucas from Brazil.

In the end, Sissoko had to leave Liverpool and move to Juventus.

In Juventus, Sissoko is not the main player, because his strengths and weaknesses are very obvious.

Mourinho was impressed by the player.

And think that he is the person you need.

He also coached Chelsea in the Premier League in his early years and played against Liverpool many times, so he naturally knows this opponent player better.

In the Community Shield before the 2006-2007 season, when Liverpool and Chelsea faced each other, Liverpool finally defeated Mourinho's Chelsea 2:1. Won the Community Shield.

In that game, Sissoko was named the best of the game.

His performance in the game impressed Mourinho.

So when Mourinho wanted to organize Lazio, he immediately thought of Sissoko.

Mourinho's plan is to organize a wall in the midfield and use the toughest defense to contain the operation of Lazio's midfield.

And Sissoko is a key part of the wall.

Because his characteristics can restrain Lazio.

Tireless running, fierce shoveling, accurate positioning. And...the desperation of Saburo.

It's a perfect fit for him to be the one to disrupt Lazio's midfield.

※ ※ ※

Sissoko was not specifically responsible for marking whom in this game.

Instead, he and the other two midfielders kept sweeping the midfield.

Even if you can't stop Lazio's ball, you must infect and delay their advancement.

Or simply a foul, interrupting Lazio's offensive rhythm.

So the game was frequently suspended from the very beginning.

The referee's whistle sounded frequently, and Lazio players could often be seen falling to the ground.

If it is placed in the Spanish League, the commentator may accuse Mourinho of being anti-football.

But here. Caresa, the Italian gold medal commentator, praised Inter Milan's tactics.

"Mourinho's slightly unexpected midfield three formation, the most eye-catching is the appearance of Sissoko... It seems to be successful, Inter Milan's midfield strangulation tactics let Lazio's attack. It is difficult to advance. Although there are many players in the Lazio team who can organize offenses, they all fall into the strangle trap carefully arranged by Inter Milan..."

Not preaching for attacking football. Instead praise the man who kills attacking football.

This is the characteristic of Italian football, where more attention is paid to the study of tactics and the role of tactics is emphasized.

Mourinho was able to use tactics to contain Lazio, with little success. That deserves everyone's appreciation.

No one will criticize him if Inter Milan wins Lazio in the end. What you will get will only be overwhelming praise, even people from Lazio will not say sourly, "If you have the ability, you will fight against us".

Such idiotic remarks would be laughed at in Italy.

The two sides are fighting each other with their own abilities and talents. You have offensive football, why can't I use defensive tactics to contain you and limit you? Instead of trying to compete with you in a way that you are not good at but you are good at?

Isn't that what psychopaths do?

It is precisely because Inter Milan has the ability and hopes to win that it is impossible to confront Lazio.

Only the incompetent would play against Lazio because they had given up on winning, comforting themselves with the excuse that "we face the enemy bravely and die".

It's a pity that this approach is not "to face the enemy bravely", but to turn around and dedicate one's back to the enemy. This is a shameful defeat!

Anyone who insists on pursuing victory until the last second, no matter what tactics he adopts, as long as the rules allow, he can still be regarded as a fighter.

And those teams who thought that we would not win before the game started, so we played casually in this game can only be fucked by Lazio in the end.

So why can't Inter Milan use midfield strangling tactics against Lazio?

Such questions never cross the minds of Italians.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng did not roar loudly on the sidelines to put pressure on the referee. He just squatted on the sidelines, frowning.

Inter Milan's midfield strangling tactics are completely different from Atletico Madrid's killing tactics.

Although Inter Milan's tactics are very fierce, there are often situations where people turn their backs on their backs.

But there was no malicious action.

That is to say, it is within the scope of the rules.

Atletico Madrid's original approach was to go directly to people's ankles and knees.

That is clearly the rhythm of abolishing a few Lazio players first.

Chang Sheng is not a white lotus with a glass heart. Whenever the opponent fouls, he jumps up and yells for fear that they will hurt his "little girls".

Although he plays football like Barcelona, ​​he doesn't want all his players to develop in the direction of Hollywood. Everyone can be a movie star.

Of course, he knows that petite players flopping is a kind of self-protection.

But La Qi Ah's style follows this path.

Lazio has technology, but also hardness.

Such a team can cope with any situation with ease.

Otherwise, like Barcelona, ​​facing Chelsea and M's Real Madrid will be more embarrassing.

At their peak, Barcelona was not afraid of anyone, but their peak time was only two years.

Chang Sheng doesn't want his team to be at its peak for only two years. What he wants is to dominate the world and last forever.

So it must be able to cope with various situations.

※ ※ ※

Now the game against Inter Milan is a test.

The same is true for the Lazio players. The same goes for him.

He squatted on the sidelines, resting his chin on one hand, thinking of countermeasures.

As a traveler, the advantage is that he has seen all kinds of competitions, and he has seen the collision of different styles. The so-called have never eaten pork, but have seen pigs running...

He has seen it, and naturally he has experience.

In fact, this strangling tactic is not unbreakable.

There are two ways, but now I don't know which one is more effective...

One way is to have a pervert like Messi, like Barcelona, ​​who can dribble the ball by himself, pass the ball and divide the ball, and connect the teams. This kind of superstar with super personal ability is a heavy weapon that breaks the tactical balance. If the battle is resolved by the personal flash of the star. Your tactics are useless.

He is in such a good state today, you can't prevent him even if you arrange three people to defend him, what can you do? Can only call Naihe in vain.

Another way is to increase the intensity of the midfield, and use toughness to toughness. Iron fists clashed.

The increased hardness of the midfielder will be able to compete with Inter Milan's strangled midfielder, grab many opportunities and play a role in protecting the midfielder.

Now it's an alternative.

Is there someone like Messi in your team?

Gotze's current role is somewhat similar to Messi. Can burst and lead, can pass and shoot.

But the problem is that Gotze's personal ability is not as good as Messi. It can only be regarded as a weakened version of Messi.

And this Mourinho is not a weakened version of Mourinho, and the same is true for Inter Milan.

So if you pin your hopes on a young general who is not yet eighteen years old... that can only show your incompetence.

Chang Sheng abandoned the practice of choosing to use Gotze to challenge Inter Milan single-handedly.

The role of Getce can be fully mobilized, but he cannot be fully relied on.

Chang Sheng finally chose the second method.

Increased hardness in the midfield to compete with Inter Milan's strangling midfield.

It's just that if you want to strengthen the hardness, you have to make substitutions, replace an offensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder.

However, he will not change so soon.

We're only halfway through the first half.

During this period of time, it can be seen that Inter Milan is concentrating on defense, so the threat to Lazio's goal should not be great.

So Chang Sheng's plan is to wait until the intermission before making substitutions.

A 0:0 first half is still acceptable.

Forty-five minutes in the second half is enough for him to compete with Mourinho!

PS: The second update is guaranteed to be delivered. This is the fifth update today, and there are three more updates tonight. This time, there must be one!

So please vote monthly, our advantage is getting smaller and smaller!
