Many people are not aware of the difficulties of Tottenham Hotspur in what is reflected in.

But Mourinho knows it very well because he has been watching Tottenham Hotspur’s transformation with his own eyes in the past few years, and in the past few months, he has been thinking about ways to restrain Tottenham Hotspur.

The European Super Cup was his attempt, but in this game, he and his Chelsea exposed a problem, giving Pirlo too much freedom. The Italian midfielder cut Chelsea's defensive formation again and again with his precise scalpel-like pass, revealing a bloody flaw.

The first direct contest between the two sides ended with Chelsea's complete defeat.

The second game, the eighth round of the Premier League, how to play? This became the most troubled problem for Mourinho before the game. He even suffered from insomnia because he knew very well that he had to find a way to restrain Tottenham Hotspur

This is a very resilient and resilient difficult team, and it is difficult for you to grasp their weaknesses.

It was as if at the beginning of this game, Mourinho adopted a strategy of compressing the midfield, giving up pressing in the frontcourt and interfering with Tottenham Hotspur's defense. More often, Torres was left alone in the frontcourt, concentrating his troops to the opponent's midfield, especially Pirlo, and not giving them a relaxed chance to get the ball.

But this tactic worked at the beginning, Tottenham Hotspur made frequent passes in the midfield, but it only lasted for four minutes.

Nesta got the ball, and Torres forced it up as soon as possible, but the Italian immediately passed the ball to Kompani. In this game, Kompani, who served as the left center back, got very close to the left. After getting the ball, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, realized something was wrong.

When Kompani got the ball, his position was about ten meters ahead of the left side of the penalty area, but in their midfield, Pirlo, the backstage, was at the bottom of the center circle, and left back Luke O-Xiao had already surpassed the center line, which means that the distance between the two was more than 20 meters, and Chelsea only had one Torres left in the frontcourt.

This is Mourinho's arrangement, focusing on limiting Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, so Oscar and Hulk both dragged it back to help the three midfielders defend the midfield. Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur's midfield widened the distance from the backfield, they were also forced to retreat.

So it was caused by the fact that between Kompany and Nesta, Torres was walking like a monkey. The Spanish center was very hardworking and wanted to press back and forth, but no matter how much he ran, he was the only one in front, and could he be able to run the ball?

So, when Kompany pulled the distance between Nesta and received the pass from Nesta, Torres stood there panting, and he couldn't do such a back and forth running and sprinting.

In fact, even if Torres can still run now, he cannot stop Kompani from dribbling the ball forward. Because he is close to Nesta and is more than ten meters away from Kompani, he can only watch Kompani ride the ball forward. Chelsea's overall formation has to keep retreating and retreat directly into his own half.

After Kompany dribbled the ball and advanced to the half, Pirlo cleverly chose to run to the middle and gave the left side to Kompany. Luke O-shaw always stuck to the left line and was ready to get the ball. However, after seeing Tottenham retreating to the 30-meter area, he did not retreat further, and Kompany also slowed down.

Propelling to the opponent's halftime is the purpose of Tottenham Hotspur's central defender. When you reach this area, when your defense line advances to the center line, you cannot easily concede the ball, otherwise it will be too dangerous behind you.

When Nesta saw Torres running towards Kompany, he immediately shouted, asking Kompany to send back the message without a chance.

The Belgian central defender looked at it. The Chelsea player wearing a blue jersey had a tight defense, so he had no choice. After Torres approached, he passed the ball back to the half to Nesta at the bottom of the center circle. At this time, Kyle or Walker also crossed the center line and returned to his own half because he saw Torres turn back and force Nesta.

The Italians were assigned to the right and gave Kyle O Walker, and there was no defensive player in front of the England right back.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and frowned deeply because he realized that after Tottenham pulled the entire formation apart, Chelsea's pressing would be difficult to work, unless you are willing to follow them to pull the formation away, but the problem is that once you follow them to pull the formation away, the result is likely to be defeated one by one by one by them.

The moment Kyle O Walker received the ball, Nesta, Kompany and Pirlo, all three players ran to the unguarded area and could all receive Kyle O Walker's pass, but after Kyle O Walker received the ball, he turned around calmly, quickly drove the ball forward, and crossed the half again.

Oscar noticed that Cavanila came out to the right to meet Kyle O Walker. When he was defending Kyle O Walker, his position was very close to the right, because he could use this position to block Kyle O Walker's pass to Cavanil.

At this time, Lampard's position was also very smart. His position was backward than Oscar, but he was on the left. This was for Oscar to block the defensive blind spot on the left. However, Messi, who had switched to the middle, suddenly ran back from the front, and he appeared on Lampard's left, closer to the middle, and also pulled David Luis out.

I saw Kyle or Walker pass the ball quickly after Messi retreated and send the ball to Messi's feet.

Although the ball was very fast, Messi's ball was stopped very steadily. While stopping the ball, he blocked David Luis behind him with his body. In the frontcourt, even in the middle where the most dense defense was defending, it was difficult for the defender to break Messi who had already held the ball. Unless he made a foul, no one dared to foul easily with Pirlo.

Messi blocked David Luis, tied the ball, and when Mikel reacted and wanted to double-team, he turned sideways and passed the ball with a diagonal pass on the left. When he arrived at the left, he saw Luke Oxshare always lying on the left line. At this time, no one defended him. After getting the ball, he gently picked the ball and picked the ball towards the back point.

I saw Cavani, who had just pulled to the right and left the penalty area, suddenly rushed into the small penalty area from the right rib, directly hitting the back point, and heading the ball against Ashley or Cole.

But Cesar made a very, very critical save this time, and directly saved the ball, barely resolving a scoring crisis, which also made Tottenham Hotspur fans at the entire White Hart Lane Stadium feel very regretful.

"It's very dangerous. Chelsea's defense loopholes are very big, especially in the midfield and the frontcourt. There is a big disconnection. Tottenham Hotspur has begun to use this area of ​​defensive disconnection to get the ball. Mourinho must pay enough attention."

When the on-site commentator was analyzing, he could clearly see this scene from the main perspective. Seeing that Chelsea's formation was pulled apart, Tottenham Hotspur used running position and ball to hit this area.

But he was not sure that Chelsea did have a way to defend this area, but in this way, the price paid was to weaken the containment of Tottenham Hotspur midfield.

Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt Trident is the best in terms of personal ability or overall cooperation. It is difficult to defend against four players on the defense line alone, so the midfield must be used. If you divide part of the midfield into defense and part of the defense line to support the frontcourt and fill the gap, then the result will definitely be the weakening of midfield control.

By then, the midfielder of Pirlo, Phil Jones and Ramsey will be powerful.

The most difficult thing about Tottenham Hotspur's lineup is that his three lines are very balanced. Whether it is the three lines connected into one or the three lines are pulled apart, they are all very balanced offense and defense, especially in the midfield. Moreover, their passing distance is excellent, and their success rate is very high within 15 meters. In addition, the players are actively running and have many contact points, which is very difficult.

As the saying goes, no matter how change is, Ye Qiu plays in this game, pulling the left and right sides, and then suddenly moves to the other side, playing in the weak area of ​​defense, pushing from the right side, giving Messi to the middle side, then moving to the left side, and then passing the back point from the left side, you can witness Ye Qiu's playing style and ideas.

But knowing it's one thing, but cracking it is another

When you face this kind of playing style without obvious weaknesses and weaknesses, anyone will feel a headache.

Mourinho's focus in this game was to arrange Hulk to attack the side of the young player Luke O'Xiao, because he judged that Luke O'Xiao would be the weakness of Tottenham's left defense line. After all, he is too young, but Ye Qiu's choice is more bold, and he directly pulled Kyle O'Xiao back and let Luke O'Xiao go up, attack on the left and defend on the right to cover up this weakness.

But in this way, Mourinho has a strategy to deal with it.

Time goes slowly, Tottenham Hotspur gained an overwhelming advantage on the court and kept creating opportunities.

Once, Hazard knocked back from the left, and the latter moved to the right side in a large range. Kyle Walker passed the ball diagonally in the penalty area, and Cavani headed the ball to the far point. When goalkeeper Cesar had lost his center of gravity and had no time to react, Gary Cahill blocked the ball in front of the goal line, resolving a must-scoring opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur.

Then Tottenham Hotspur used another straight pass from Ramsey's midfielder. Hazard got a one-on-one opportunity. After wading into the penalty area, he drifted past goalkeeper Cesar, but when he was passing by, he was disturbed by Cesar. The ball was a bit big. He followed him and faced the empty goal shot, but hit the side net, missing another opportunity.

Tottenham's crazy attack made Chelsea's goal suddenly become a gust of panic, and Mourinho finally couldn't sit still. He realized that he could not continue to let Tottenham continue to attack like this, otherwise he would be scored sooner or later, so he made an adjustment.

After adjustment, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive remained unabated. This group of players wearing white jerseys looked like a group of hungry wolves. No matter how many years he was, he had only one idea to kill his opponent and never give up until he scored a goal.

The game is finally coming to an end. In the 41st minute of the first half, there are only less than four or five minutes left before the end.

But just when everyone thought that the first half would end with 0 and Chelsea would pass the score safely, Tottenham Hotspur created an opportunity. Messi used his personal skills on the right to break into Chelsea's penalty area, which made the whole world turn upside down. After knocking back to Phil O Jones who was inserted, the Englishman directly pulled out his legs and shot with an angry shot.

The powerful shot was very decisive and determined, but Lampard immediately blocked the ball. The ball turned a corner and hit David Luis's leg and rebounded. Cavani was at the front of the small penalty area and saw the ball coming. He stopped instinctively, which scared Gary Cahill to go forward and block it immediately.

But Cavani hit the ball and pushed it gently. The ball was pressed against the turf and rolled into the lower left corner of the goal.

This goal caused an extremely painful blow to Chelsea. They held for 45 minutes, but they were still scored by their opponents in the last moment, which had a huge impact on their morale and psychology, but it was a great encouragement for Tottenham Hotspur.

During the break, Mourinho obviously consciously encouraged the team's morale and made adjustments.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea directly made a crazy attack that almost ignored the defense. Their attitude was also very clear. Since I couldn't defend, I would go out and attack with you. Let's play hard together and see who can play with whom.

In the 52nd minute, Oscar got a chance. After getting the ball in the frontcourt and passed Pirlo, he passed the ball low and the right side of the penalty area. Luke O-Xiao lost his position in defense. Hulk inserted and shot directly, but Kompani showed his strength at the critical moment and fell to the ground to tackle the ball out of the baseline, resolving a crisis.

Nesta also played the role of a veteran at a critical moment. When defending a corner kick, he scolded Luke O-Xiao hard and told him that the situation is different now. Chelsea is playing hard and can no longer be as far away as in the first half. The distance between the full-back and the central defender is so large. You must know how to look at the situation and change with the situation.

Luke Osha was very educated and nodded in agreement.

The corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Nesta, while Tottenham Hotspur quickly counterattacked. After getting the ball, Pirlo protected the ball first and passed it to Kyle or Walker on the right. The latter knocked back to Nesta, and the latter passed it to Pirlo, passing it continuously. The Chelsea players also gave up the front court press and retreated quickly.

But when Pirlo got the ball again, he noticed that his teammates had rushed to the front and passed the ball from a long distance, passing it from the front of the penalty area to the front of Chelsea's 30-meter area.

Cavani saw the ball landing point, stuck the position, headed the ball behind him, and rolled to the right side of the penalty area.

Cesar abandoned the goal and wanted to take Cavani's header down, but Messi was faster. Before Cesar, he poked the ball, then bypassed Cesar, turned around and chased the ball, pushed it in front of the goal, and the ball entered the net, 0

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

"A quick counterattack from Tottenham Hotspur, 0"

All the fans of the entire White Hart Lane Stadium rushed out of the seats excitedly, rushed out of the stadium frantically, and crossed the billboard. Messi shouted clearly, shouting Messi's name, while Cavani rushed over from behind and picked Messi up.

"Chelsea's offensive in the second half was very strong and threatening, but they missed a very good scoring opportunity. If they equalized the score, the situation might be completely different, but unfortunately, they missed the opportunity, and Tottenham Hotspur punished them with a counterattack."

"It's so exciting. In this game, the struggle between the two sides is indeed quite exciting. Although Mourinho's team is very passive, it still plays with Chelsea's willpower. In this way, even if Chelsea eventually loses, they will win the tolerance of fans."

"Tottenham's offense is indeed very, very good, but what is even more hopeless and terrifying is that their defense is also very strong, which makes it difficult for all their opponents to find obvious weaknesses and weaknesses from them."

"Perhaps, as Martin Samuel said, if you want to defeat this Tottenham Hotspur, besides themselves, there is probably only time. It will take until Pirlo retires and wait until a group of players grow old."

Ye Qiu quickly made adjustments because he was going to challenge Dortmund away from home in the middle of the week. Klopp's team is also a very difficult team. It is also a away game. Tottenham Hotspur must make sufficient preparations.

So soon, Ye Qiu replaced Messi with Neymar, replaced Pirlo with Sandro, and replaced Cavani with Drogba. The three substitutions were all counter-substitutions, and they all happened seventy minutes later, which obviously wanted to retain strength for the mid-week game.

After Tottenham Hotspur substitution, Mourinho made a move and replaced Sturridge to further strengthen the team's offense. For them, they had already lost two goals anyway, so it would be better for Yu Qian to go out and fight.

In fact, when Mourinho is determined to fight you, his offense is also quite sharp.

In the end, Torres assisted Hulk to score a goal in the class meeting, and he still used Luke O's left, but this time it was not the English young player who lost his position, but was completely defeated by Hulk in a one-on-one match.

The Brazilian's physical fitness and personal ability are quite excellent. Luke O'Xiao is at a disadvantage in terms of physical condition and failed to stop Hulk from scoring.

But Tottenham also scored a very threatening shot, which was that after the frontcourt offense lost its effect, he knocked back on the midfield Ramsey, who passed Sandro again. Brazil's midfielder took the ball and drifted past Osk and shot hard.

This 25-meter-long shot made Cesar too late to save, especially in front of the goal, with a landing rebound. Unfortunately, the ball hit the right post and rolled out of the baseline. Brazilian beast Sandro missed another chance to shoot Chelsea.

In the end, the game ended, Tottenham defeated Chelsea at home and won eight consecutive league wins.

But Tottenham Hotspur paid a lot of money. Several main players tried their best against Chelsea. In the middle of the week, they performed poorly when they challenged Dortmund away, resulting in the team being used by Lewandowski to assist Reus in a goal in the 36th minute of the first half.
