Sometimes, experience is really a good thing, so good that you can't do without it.

Having experienced a Champions League final, Ye Qiu was still a little nervous before the game and still felt the pressure, but he seemed more relaxed in dealing with it. After the coaching staff was baptized in the Champions League final, everyone knew clearly what they should do and arranged everything in advance. As the game approached, it was carried out step by step, without any disorder at all.

The coaching staff will not be messed up, and the players who obey orders will naturally not be messed up.

A year ago at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, Ye Qiu's Ajax conducted warm-up training nearly two hours in advance, but this time at Ao Shirke Stadium, Ye Qiu's training time was only one hour ahead of schedule.

It is normal to be an hour in advance. Generally, the two teams participating in the finals come to the stadium to warm up around this time period, because according to the rules of exercise, the real warm-up time should be about half an hour. Coupled with other preparation activities, familiar with the venue, it is almost an hour.

When Chelsea came to Ao to Schalke Stadium, they found that Porto had already started warm-up training here. According to the information provided by the coaching staff, Mourinho's team came to the scene about minutes earlier than Chelsea, which also proved Ye Qiu's judgment to some extent that the Portuguese would launch a round of pressing and oppression against Chelsea from the beginning of the game.

This is no longer a secret. Many people play Chelsea and Ye Qiu, and the start is almost the same. That is to avoid Ye Qiu's team from the start as much as possible. If you want to avoid Ye Qiu's team from the start, generally speaking, in addition to having an absolute advantage in strength, there are two ways: one is to defend and the other is to compete with Ye Qiu.

Both of these methods have good and bad, opportunities and risks, and it is hard to say which one is better.

Don't think that Ye Qiu came to the scene an hour in advance to be proud. In fact, it's not. He has his own purpose and arrangements to do this. First of all, he wants to give all the players an impression that he did not take Porto too seriously.

Ajax came to the scene nearly two hours in advance a year ago. Ye Qiu's purpose was to let all players feel his importance to Real Madrid, and also to allow all players to move directly, and to get directly into the state from the beginning of the game, and caught Real Madrid off guard.

But now Chelsea has an absolute advantage in strength. Ye Qiu is so effective when he faces a great enemy to meet Porto, and the effect is not good, and it is more or less a bit self-destructive. So Ye Qiu enters the court one hour in advance according to normal circumstances.

Another point is that Ye Qiu adjusted the combat strategy of this game.

You must understand that all training and warm-ups ultimately need to serve the game. When the game's strategy changes, the training and warm-up events will naturally change. In this game, Chelsea's strategy and tactics are completely different from Ajax a year ago, so there is naturally no need to adopt the same strategy.

Members of the coaching team such as Peter Brandt and Tencart were considering the warm-up arrangement before the finals when the team reached the finals. They even arranged the timing of all warm-up events to seconds to ensure that the time error of each warm-up training will not exceed 30 seconds.

Moreover, in order to ensure the results of warm-up training, they are constantly supervising the players on the sidelines, ensuring that every player meticulously completes all training events and ensuring that warm-ups before the game can achieve corresponding results.

It should be said that the current group of Chelsea players, even Davis, Cannavaro and others, are full of hunger for the Champions League championship, not to mention Ronaldinho and Lampard, among which, the Brazilian is now soaring in reputation and in the limelight. As long as he can win a Champions League for Chelsea, he will definitely be one of the popular candidates for the World Footballer next year.

Just imagine, under such circumstances, where will the players relax?

During the whole warm-up process, Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, wrapped his hands in front of his chest, and watched calmly.

In the warm-up event, when Chelsea played the common monkey-slide game, many fans were amazed at the Schalke Stadium. They were obviously Portugal fans. They didn't know Chelsea before and thought Chelsea was a tough guy team. But unexpectedly, when Chelsea was playing, they attracted attention with an amazing quick touch.

Moreover, unlike the average monkey-slide game that only arranges one person to grab, Chelsea divided the 18-person roster into groups, with 9 in each group. They directly robbed whoever passes and are cut off as monkeys. All players seem to be accustomed to this, and they will end up directly after making mistakes, and the training has never been interrupted, which makes everyone lit up.

Mourinho was also a little surprised when he watched it on the sidelines, because he had to admit that even though Porto is a Portuguese team, he is known for his South American Latin style, but his quick pass and catch balls are really not as good as Chelsea in terms of matching it with a quick pass.

Of course, you can say that Chelsea is a habit and practice makes perfect. It is possible to craft English players like Lampard and Terry to this level, which is enough to witness Ye Qiu and his coaching staff’s ability to craft technical details.

I believe that when I saw this scene, many fans who swear before the game that Portugal could play Chelsea with their technical advantages should be silent, because this scene will make them sadly discover that whoever plays with them still doesn't know.

Moreover, the training quality of this 3-grabbing U-skipping Monkey Game is very high. Ye Qiu obviously has made detailed cooperation and arrangements for U-name passes and receiving and the three ball grabers. Therefore, during the training, whether it is passing and receiving or joint pressing and pressing, the players look very organized and organized.

This reminds everyone of the impression that Chelsea gave people, which is both skillful and meticulous in quick passes and receiving cooperation, and strict high-intensity pressing and oppression. It is obvious that on weekdays, they adopt this kind of high-quality and high-level training to achieve their goals. Whether they passes and receives or presses and oppresses, the players have developed enough tacit understanding in training. No matter where they run or who they cooperate in the game, they can be very skillful and tacit understanding.

Roma was not built in one day. I didn’t see Chelsea’s warm-up training. I believe everyone would not feel this way. But after watching it, they will find that Chelsea’s rise and success are not accidental, but accumulated over time.

The reason why famous coaches are famous coaches is that they have their own tactical concepts and ideas, they will only innovate and improve continuously, and will not easily change their core concepts. Therefore, no matter where they go, they can make their own things.

There is no doubt that Chelsea has been deeply imprinted by Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu has also appeared on the stage of famous European coaches with this team and demonstrated his football philosophy to everyone.

If you want to go further, this Champions League is missing

Perhaps it was because Chelsea showed up during the warm-up game, which put pressure on the Porto players, so when they finished training before the game and returned to the locker room, the Porto players were obviously under pressure, and they all looked serious.

No wonder, compared with Chelsea, they have no advantage.

In terms of offense, this is not their strength, nor is it as good as Chelsea. In terms of defense, they are still inferior to the Blues. In terms of tactics, Chelsea's high-level oppressive control flow has long been well-known throughout Europa, and Porto can't catch up. Originally, they thought that their Latin South American style would have some technical advantages under their feet, but now it seems that it is still a bit of a word to say who has the advantage.

Mourinho also stood in the locker room and had to admit that he was also shocked by Ye Qiu's move, which forced him to admit that Ye Qiu was able to reach this day was not accidental, but inevitable.

And you should know that this is a direct public display by Chelsea during pre-match warm-up activities. What are the core links that are not disclosed in the training events of this team on weekdays? The intensity and difficulty may be higher than the 3-gamble monkey game. Mourinho, who attaches great importance to the intensity of training on weekdays, sighs as if he is not.

Boas pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. He was holding in his hand that he had just obtained Chelsea's starting lineup.

"It started to rain outside, it was very small, but the ground was wet," Boas said an accident.

The weather today has never been very good, it is gloomy, giving people a sense of oppression that is about to come. I didn’t expect it to rain.

However, this type of light rain is not uncommon in Germany and should not be too long.

Mourinho just let it go and flipped up the starting list in his hand, not surprised him too much.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar, Evra, Cannavaro, Terry and Macon from left to right in the back line, and Davis, Marklele and Deco, Ronaldinho and Lampard formed Chelsea's offensive trident behind Drogba.

43I This is Chelsea's standard tactic this season. There are no injuries and no suspensions. Chelsea still has the strongest tactical lineup. However, Ye Qiu still has many changes in his hands. There are good wingers like Joe Kerr and Ribery sitting on the bench, and there are defenders like Galas.

Mourinho has also made many moves. Porto has not lost players in this game. The goalkeeper is Baia, the defense is Valente, Carvalho, Jose Costa and Paul Ferreira, and the midfield is Manicheim, Costinia and Mendes dragged behind. Thiago plays the forward in the center, Delle and Alberto form a double striker, with a standard 43 tactic.

McCarthy performed well in the Portuguese Super League, but Delray was better in the Champions League, while Brazil's forward rookie Alberto's ability to get the ball is what Porto's forward needs now, so Mourinho let Delray and Alberto start.

Russian wing player Alenicev is a trump card in Mourinho's hands. His skills are very threatening on the wing and can always open up the situation when the team is in a deadlock. This is the same reason why Ye Qiu likes to let Ribery come on the bench.

In fact, many media commented before the game, believing that Mourinho's Porto is very similar to Ye Qiu's Chelsea. Although one is 43I and the other is 43, in fact, if Ronaldinho is regarded as a striker, it is equivalent to Alberto, and Chelsea plays 43.

The difference is that Chelsea is a luxury version and Porto is a silk version. Unlike Porto's offense that is too persistent in the middle, Chelsea's wing offense is also very threatening. After all, Macon and Evra are both good offensive players who intervene behind the wing. With strong players like Davis, Deco and Marklele in the midfield, they can play more resolutely after intervening and playing a bigger and more critical role.

This is something that Ferreira and Valente, who are more defensive, do not have, so Porto has almost no good offense on the wing, and what this team is best at is defensive counterattacks.

When Mourinho told the players about Chelsea's starting lineup, Porto's players were not obviously surprised because there was nothing surprising about Chelsea's starting lineup.

"As I said before, we have no advantage in the face of Chelsea. Even the only thing we are better than our opponents is because our strength is far inferior to our opponents, so we must put down our pride and self-esteem and fight back against those who others don't want to fight."

"I also know that you are unwilling to accept this, and I know even more that you hope to have a great time with Chelsea. Believe me, guys, I will not have less desire for this aspect than you. On the contrary, I hate their head coach more than any of you, that damn guy named Ye Qiu."

Porto players are very clear about the grudge between Mourinho and Ye Qiu. In fact, it is ultimately a problem of media hype. They like to call Mourinho Ye Qiu II, while Mourinho feels that he has been humiliated. Coupled with the previous issue of UEFA's awards, it is not surprising that the two are incompatible.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Ye Qiu has never said anything from beginning to end.

"The start is very important when playing Chelsea. They like to attack. Ye Qiu can be said to be the best coach in the world who is good at attacking. Countless teams have suffered losses at this point, so I hope that after the start, you will not blindly press up and not leave our defense zone easily. Our start will focus on defending and destroy their rhythm by running without hesitation of physical strength."

"The opponent's players are better than us in personal abilities. We should tighten the three lines as much as possible to avoid one-on-one situations as much as possible, because Ronaldinho has excellent personal abilities. I believe you are also very clear about Deco's abilities. In addition, the big guy Drogba, Lampard, who has superb ability, and Davis, who is rushing around, requires us to be on guard and always maintain a tight defensive formation after the game."

If you have weak strength, you can only make up for it through the team. This is the role of tactics.

"But this does not mean that we have to be passively beaten. I always believe that no matter how powerful a tiger is, it will take a nap. As long as Chelsea reveals its flaws, we will give them the most fatal blow, just like when we face Manchester United, Lyon, and La Coruna, one blow is fatal."

Although Mourinho played 43, Thiago actually had a relatively low position. His responsibilities were to pass the ball and sort out the midfield. The offensive method was more to directly transition to the frontcourt and leave it to Carlos Alberto to deal with it.

Carlos Alberto played as a midfielder in Fluminense and was introduced to Porto this summer. He has excellent foot skills, strong ability to take balls and make balls. Even in Brazil, many people have been more optimistic about Alberto than Kaka, who is very popular in AC Milan.

One of the important reasons for Mourinho's introduction of Alberto is that Deco transferred to Chelsea. If Deco lost Deco, he lost the ball route. Therefore, Mourinho relied heavily on Alberto this season and hoped that he could become the linker for the team's offensive ball path advancement, connecting the midfield and the front line, and exerting the scoring ability of Delray and McCarthy.

This is also the best change Mourinho can make after a season of familiarity and adjustment.

Mourinho's strategy in this game is also very clear. I am not as strong as you, so I will let you control the ball, I will shrink the defense, and I will do whatever you want before you enter my defense zone, but once you enter my half, I will firmly limit your range of activities.

Football matches against both sides are like the left and right ends of the balance. If I shrink, you will naturally want to press forward. In addition, Chelsea itself is the kind of team that likes to defend at high positions. Usually, the space between the defense line and the goal is often exposed at the moment when the offense is transferred from offense to defense.

Porto's two forwards, whether it is Delray or Benny McCarthy, are all those who are fast and have strong ability to seize scoring opportunities. However, Delray, who is P-year-old, seems more mature and stable, so he is more valued by Mourinho in the Champions League.

It should be said that defensive counterattack has always been the magic weapon for Porto to reach the finals in the Champions League this season. There are many things that Mourinho doesn't need to be said more, and the players can understand them themselves. Mourinho just kept emphasizing that one must be kept tight when defending.

"Rabbit interspersed is one of Chelsea's very important scoring methods. Our midfielder must strictly protect the ribs of the defense, especially the gap between the two full-backs and the two central defenders. In addition, we must keep a close eye on Drogba, and they will definitely use the Ivorians to create offensive opportunities."

"As long as we can do these two things, we can weaken Chelsea's offensive threat by half, thereby curbing their offense and forcing them to reveal their weaknesses and loopholes in their defense, that is our chance." Mourinho slapped the tactical board beside him, as if he regarded it as Chelsea who had collapsed.

This action immediately aroused the blood and fighting spirit of everyone in the locker room, and each of them seemed to be inspired by the head coach.

Mourinho's idea was clearly stated at the pre-match tactical preparation meeting, and all Porto players were not unfamiliar with it, but now hearing Mourinho's re-analysis with such confident re-analysis, they have become clearer, more clearer in their game goals, and unify everyone's game strategies.
