Chapter 47 Scolari and Chelsea

The next morning, Gao Bo read the newspaper while eating breakfast. The newspaper system in England has always been developed, and Gao Bo usually sees some interesting news in the newspaper.

"The Times" sports section reported a heavy news that attracted Gao Bo's attention. It was news about Chelsea. Luton will play Chelsea away in the next game. Gao Bo is very concerned about the news about Chelsea's current situation. interested.

"...Drogba claimed in an exclusive interview with France Football magazine that he almost lost his passion for football in 2008 because he didn't get enough support at Chelsea. Drogba said that after his grandmother In the huge blow of his death, the Chelsea club did not give him the care he should have, and he did not get the main position he deserved in Chelsea. In the interview, Drogba slammed Chelsea for not enough for a 4-year veteran of the team Friendly, and Scolari did not give himself enough respect, Drogba said: Anelka is indeed very good, but Scolari should make himself Anelka's partner, not sit on the bench superior......"

Gao Bo stopped when he saw this, he mobilized the memory of his previous life.

How did Scolari get out of class? Of course, it has something to do with his poor grades, and Abu is not a patient boss, so Scolari will probably be fired by Abu in early February after finishing this month...

Gao Bo turned on the phone, and sure enough, he remembered it right. Just yesterday, December 28th, Chelsea scored two goals in a two-goal lead against Fulham in the West London derby. At this time, Scolari was in a very difficult situation. .

At that time, Lampard scored 2 goals in a row, but Fulham tied the score with Dempsey's two goals. At that time, Chelsea fans were booing away, sarcasm Scolari "you don't know what you are doing", This is almost a precursor to the dismissal of the get out of class... "The Times" revealed that Abu watched the game on his own cruise ship, and his face was very ugly.

There are many reasons for Abramovich to fire Mourinho, perhaps not being able to make a breakthrough in the European war is one point, and putting Abramovich's friend Shevchenko on the bench may also be part of the reason, but there is also a very important reason. , Abramovich does not like Mourinho's football style.

Abramovich hopes that Chelsea can play gorgeous football, but Mourinho ignored the boss's request. He still managed Chelsea according to his own ideas and turned Chelsea into an iron-blooded blue army. Their defense is tough. The counterattack is sharp, and it is also contemptuous in the league. However, Abramovich did not appreciate Mourinho's work, and Mourinho eventually left Chelsea with the dismissal of Abramovich.

Grant, an Israeli, took Chelsea for half a season. Although this friend of Abramovich took the team to the Champions League final, he lost to Manchester United in the final. In the league, Chelsea was also overwhelmed by Manchester United. Grant's acting head coach also came to a head after the season.

It was replaced by the Brazilian Scolari. When he joined Chelsea, Scolari claimed that he wanted to bring Brazil's "sexy football" to Chelsea.

"Although I work in the English league, my idea is to try to make Chelsea's style as close as possible to Brazil's, although the two styles of football are very different, but we will try to dribble, control and pass the ball as much as possible. We will try our best. However, I will still respect the characteristics of each player. There are some players in the team that have a Brazilian style, and some players just need to keep their current style. ." Scolari said in the media on his first day at Chelsea.

But in fact, are Chelsea players really fit for Brazilian-style football?

A streak of big wins early in the season gave Chelsea fans some hope.

In the first eight rounds of the league, Chelsea had six wins and two draws, taking 20 points and topping the league table. At that time almost all Chelsea fans were worshipping world champion coach Scolari.

However, after losing to Liverpool at home in the ninth round, Chelsea's state began to decline. In the fifteenth round of the league, Chelsea lost to Arsenal at home, which made Scolari begin to be questioned by the media.

To sum up, Scolari's doubts are mainly concentrated in three aspects:

The first is tactical rigidity. At the beginning of the season, because Drogba was injured and missed, and Robinho was snatched by Manchester City, Scolari could only arrange the formation of a single striker. This tactic worked well at first, and it also benefited Anelka a lot, but now the opponents are not interested in Chelsea's single striker strategy, because they all know that as long as they gather a lot of troops in the middle and backcourt, then Anelka will not. will be ineffective. With Drogba coming back from injury, this was a good opportunity for Scolari to change into a two-forward, but he was stubborn. As a result, it was difficult for Chelsea to get a win at home, and now even the winning streak on the road has ended. .

The second is too little rotation. Half of this season's league has passed, but Scolari has rarely actively rotated players, especially Terry, Cech, Bosingwa, A-Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Deco and Anelka, as long as there are no injuries and suspensions, they are absolute starters, Terry, Lampard, Cech, Bosingwa and Anel The card five played all 18 rounds of the league, if not injured, I believe Deco and Ashley Cole will also have this kind of treatment. Not easy rotation is conducive to maintaining the stability of the team, but a policy of "never rotation" like Scolari's may only bring adverse effects on players' physical fitness and state.

Then there is the ability to command on the spot. Who has been the most replaced player in Chelsea this season? The answer is Belletti! Next are Ferreira, Drogba and Kalou, Bridge and Ivanovic also have 3 substitutes each, that is to say, Scolari often replaces defensive players in the game . It's understandable to put on a defender when the team is ahead, but like yesterday's game against Fulham, when Chelsea desperately needed a win, Scolari replaced Bridge at the last minute to strengthen the defense. It can make the fans of the team feel dejected. In fact, this scene has appeared more than once. Compared with Mourinho, Scolari lacks a desperate mentality in his bones, and this can be explained as a "championship mentality".

Scolari's tactics are rigid and lack change, and he is stubborn and reluctant to make changes easily. That made it harder and harder for him at Chelsea.

For whatever reason, in short, Chelsea are in a bad state now, and the generals in the dressing room are incompatible. For Luton, this may be a good opportunity to beat the opponent..

Gao Bo touched his chin with his palm, thoughtfully.
