12 Stamford Bridge
12 Stamford Bridge
Compared with coming to Stamford Bridge last season, coming to Stamford Bridge again this time, both Inter Milan's lineup and Chelsea's lineup have undergone great changes.
Inter Milan has added four new faces to the starting lineup. They are the new striker of the Italian national team - Luca Toni, the growing world's number one right back - Maicon, former World Player of the Year, now Portugal The national team ball bully - Luis Figo, the main central defender of the Argentine national team - Samuel.
Of course, before the game, Jose Mourinho's words pointed out the theme of the game: "The biggest change in Inter Milan is not their new aid, but the progress and status of their core Lionwell."
Mourinho is indeed a brilliant conductor. He knows that no matter how strong Inter Milan becomes, one thing will not change, that is, their core is Lionwell.
Your son is of course the theme of this game, because from the perspective of Lionwell's career law, he basically won the league championship in the first season and the Intercontinental Cup championship in the second season.
When he was in Argentina, Leon was like this. He won the autumn league championship in the first season and the Copa Libertadores in the second season.
Leon was still like this in Bayern Munich. In the first season, Bayern regained the first place in the Bundesliga, and in the second season, he won the triple crown.
One wonders if the god-kissed Argentine can continue his magic.
Before this game, Leon also specially learned from his younger brother Cristiano Ronaldo. After all, Manchester United is Chelsea's main competitor in the Premier League. Intelligence is definitely much more than Mancini.
And Ronaldo also unambiguously pointed out to Leon the three strongest points of Chelsea. First, the powerful pressing and oppression. The key point is that Chelsea's players seem to be immortal ghosts running on the court. They will not feel tired or tired. In short, their oppression will continue from the beginning to the end.
In the eyes of Ronaldo, Chelsea's strongest second day is their quick counterattack. Many times, Chelsea's goals are sneak attacks while you are not stable. I have to say that Mourinho is a brilliant military strategist. He knows how to come with one bang and then decline and three exhaustions, so every time Chelsea's offense is to pursue a one-hit kill, it will never be muddled.
In the end, Ronaldo said that Chelsea's third strongest point is Jose Mourinho. His terrifying on-the-spot adaptation and adjustment is a difficult challenge for Inter Milan's coach Mancini.
In short, compared with last year's Stamford Bridge battle, this year's Stamford Bridge battle, both Inter Milan and Chelsea's lineup cards are much stronger.
…A football game is often divided into three steps. The first step is the formation of the two coaches. As the saying goes, a decisive victory is thousands of miles away. When the strength of the two sides is close, the formation will basically determine a game. trend.
After the lessons of last year, Mancini adopted the strategy of "although the enemy is ever-changing, but I am the same". Inter Milan continued their starting lineup for defeating Chievo. Three powerful forwards Tevez, Toni and Adriano formed a trident Halberd, Luis Figo, Cambiasso, and Leonwell form the central axis, and Zanetti, Samuel, Cannavaro, Maicon and Cesar form the defense.
Compared with Mancini's strategy, Mourinho is a coach who likes to choose his starting lineup according to the opponent's lineup. He is like a hunter, always leaving you with one trap after another. Before you know it, you fall for Mourinho.
In today's starting lineup, Mourinho unexpectedly chose Crespo, who joined this summer, on the front line. When Mourinho handed over the striker seal to Crespo, on the Inter Milan bench, Mancini has gasped!
Who is Crespo? The Argentine national team international, a top shooter who once killed the Quartet in Serie A. Crespo knows Inter Milan and Lionwell, Samuel, Tevez and Zanetti too well, there is no more suitable forward candidate than him!
Of course, it is impossible for Mourinho to completely hand over the former army to Crespo, so he chose a partner for Crespo-the monster Drogba.
If Crespo is an opportunist, then Drogba is a person who is good at creating opportunities. The combination of the two is simply complementary.

In the midfield, Mourinho chose four midfielders. Buffalo Essien, who joined in the summer, and the French sports car Makelele formed a double midfielder, while Frank Lampard and Arjen Robben played one on the left and one on the left. The right acts as a striker.
On the back line, the left back is Gallas who joined in the summer, the two central backs are Carvalho and Terry, and the right back is Mourinho's fellow Ferreira. The goalkeeper is naturally the protector of Chelsea— — San Peter Petr.
Inter Milan was too passive. From the moment they set foot on Stamford Bridge, they fell into a passive state. Mourinho's formation can be said to be aimed at everywhere!
First of all, let's start with Chelsea's defense. One Makelele is not enough, right? So what about another Essien? And when necessary, Lampard can also be pulled back as a midfielder, which is really too strong... Looking at the defense, although Gallas was born as a central defender, Mourinho let him play this season. Going to play left back, at least for now, the effect is very good. With the iron gate of Gallas and Mourinho who will not assist the fellow who is good at defense for a long time, Ferreira guards the two sides. Chelsea's defense can only be impenetrable. to describe!
Mourinho set a net for Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge! Mourinho, who is well versed in military tactics, knows that this is a group match where there is no need to determine the outcome, so from the very beginning, the match between Mourinho, Benitez and Mancini is , to see who can get as many points as possible in this triangle match, and guarantee to double-kill Betis, then that team will have an absolute advantage in this group.
This is a group match, not a life-and-death battle. Inter Milan was eliminated by Chelsea last season, so it must come with revenge. Mourinho wants to use his net to wipe out the anger and sharpness of the Inter Milan players. Then take the opportunity to give Inter Milan a fatal blow!
Judging from the formation, Mourinho took the lead for Chelsea first!
...Of course, in a football game, the formation of troops is the first step. In many cases, this step can determine the trend of a game, but accidents sometimes happen.
Don't forget that Inter Milan has the core of the active players who are best at adapting to the situation - Leonwell. After seeing Chelsea's starting list, Leon and Mancini first inspired the team's morale. No morale, so what to play?
So, after the end of the first step, the second step started immediately, that is - the competition.
When the Swiss referee Nixon blew the whistle to start the game, he would not know that because of this game, his name will go down in history.
The game started amidst the deafening cheers of Chelsea's home fans. Inter Milan took the lead in the first half. Chelsea's offense is famous for its fast attack. Today, Leon and his teammates also staged a good opening surprise attack. play.
When Tevez knocked the ball to Leon's feet, and then the Chelsea players began to press the whole court, Leon, who got the ball in the midfield, controlled the ball at his feet a little carelessly.
Leon's insouciance is not for the experienced Makelele, nor for the steady Lampard. His indifference is for the buffalo Essien.
This was the period when Essien just joined Chelsea, and it was also his most unstable period. You must know that it took time for Essien to grow from a reckless black and hard youth to a generation of beasts.
He didn't know Leon too well, and Essien, who thought Leon was out of shape, left his position aggressively and rushed towards Leonwell.
When he jumped halfway, it was too late for his partner Makelele to stop him, so Makelele could only choose to follow Essien up, at least he could make up for Essien.
Leon's plan succeeded, and he tricked Essien into losing his position. Therefore, the son of Inter Milan, the most expensive player in the world, Leonwell, proved why he was worth 100 million.
Under Essien's ferocious rush, Leon calmly pulled the ball to the right with his left foot, and then turned it lightly against Essien's black and hard body. Strength, and I only have four taels, but as the saying goes, using strength to fight strength, four taels can pull a thousand catties!
Marseille roundabout!
Immediately, the fans at Stamford Bridge were stunned, and Mourinho on the sidelines must have wanted to grab Essien down and give him a hard reprimand.
Don't be in a hurry, Leonwell has already jumped halfway, Inter Milan is not seeking stability after the opening, but seeking speed! They want to fight for the fast break opportunity of the first attack.
Leon, like Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms era in ancient times, tore a huge hole for Inter Milan from the middle. Makelele, who came up to defend, looked forward and backward, and Leon waded him through with a quick acceleration.
Perhaps at this moment, even the noble son Leon who dribbled the ball did not expect that he could easily jump over Chelsea's defense zone.
Chelsea is not without loopholes, as long as it is human, there will be loopholes! Leon, who firmly believed in this truth, took the ball and continued to move forward. At this time, several armies of Inter Milan had already approached the city!
