"Javier, do you think there is really a so-called curse?"

In the stands at the Millennium Stadium, Lin Xia, who was flying from Madrid, sat with Chu Yao, Marca reporter Javier Matayana and agent Jorge Mendes, and asked worriedly.

As an atheist, she certainly doesn't want to believe the so-called curse, but many things are difficult to explain.

It was like this game, after the start of the game, Chelsea quickly gained the advantage and initiative of the game. As a result, in just ten minutes, he hit the crossbar four times, and then he was in a position but failed to score. His luck was extremely bad.

In the context of the South locker room curse at Millennium Stadium, it is really hard to be unquestionable.

So, Chu Yao also nodded with a sigh and said, "Yes, it's been twenty minutes now, I have all the advantages, but I can't get a goal. I'm so lucky."

But only Matayana shook his head, "Like Gao Han, I never believed in the so-called curse."

Without waiting for the three people around him to ask, the Marca reporter took the initiative to explain.

"In the history of English football, the Southern team has always been weaker than the Northern team, which is well known. Even so far, no Southern team has won the Champions League, and even in domestic competitions, it is far inferior to the Northern team."

"In the 1970s and 1980s, when English football was the most brilliant period, the teams that ravaged Europa also came from the central and northern parts, such as Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, not to mention the most brilliant Liverpool and Manchester United."

"So, for a long time, the north and south of English football are very obvious, even now, and the locker room at the Millennium Stadium is divided according to the region, so naturally it is easy to see the so-called South locker room curse."

Neither Lin Xia nor Chu Yao are professional football fans and have only a slight understanding of these history. But after hearing what Matayana said, I suddenly realized that this is the case.

Only Mendes nodded and praised after hearing this: "It's right, but I think the reason why the south is weak and the north is strong is closely related to the physical confrontational style that England has admired since the 1970s and 1980s."

The Portuguese said this to surprise Mataana, and when he looked at him again, he was quite impressed.

"Whether it is Nottingham Forest or Liverpool, they adopt a very confrontation-oriented style, and the personnel quality in the central and northern England is obviously more in line with this style of play. Instead, the surrounding areas of London and Southampton emphasize technology, which is very different from other teams in the central and northern regions."

"Well said," Matayana praised, "there is indeed such a statement."

It can be seen that this agent, who is famous in European football, is not completely useless.

Those who can make a name for themselves in the European football world should not be underestimated!

"But no matter what, whether the curse exists or not, or more, affects the players' mentality."

Mendes's words were once again recognized by Matayana. "This can explain that Chelsea hit the post and crossbar four times at the beginning of the game, which has a lot to do with the players' mentality being too anxious."

"I think, should I retreat appropriately?" Mendes analyzed.

Matayana nodded, "There is some truth, but it may not be."

"Oh?" Everyone immediately looked at the Spanish reporters together.

"The so-called Gao Chao on the football field is actually that the players cooperate smoothly, the rhythm is right, the direction is right, and the cooperation is coherent, and everyone's rhythm and frequency is consistent. Simply put, everyone plays smoothly and feels comfortable, and the opponent will be difficult to interrupt and can only be forced to defend."

After pausing, Matayana said again: "It's like on the basketball court, both sides were evenly matched, but suddenly one side made a wave of Xiao Gaochao, and directly cut a few to zero, or even ten to zero. But after Gaochao, the other party also improved and chased a few to zero again. This is the same principle."

After he said this, everyone immediately understood.

"Chelsea is only one goal short of scoring now. If you retreat at this time, no one can tell when the next wave of Gaochao will come."

Speaking of this, Matayana turned to look at the coaching seat in the south and found Gao Han standing outside, looking calm.

"Many people say that Gao Han's excellent command on the spot is not because he is very good at technical and tactical, but because he is good at following the trend and taking advantage of the team's form to strive for goals in one go. This is also his most amazing progress in the past few years."

"What's more, Chelsea is good at pressing high positions and taking the initiative. If you retreat, you may not be able to play. Moreover, Ibrahimovic is not good at counterattacking and can only rely on Robben. Gao Han will definitely not be willing to miss such a good opportunity and hand over the initiative to the opponent in vain."

"But continuing to maintain the current situation is quite risky to Chelsea. Once the player makes a mistake, or makes a mistake, and is hit by the opponent, it will be really passive."

After Matayana said this, everyone immediately became much clearer about the situation on the court, especially about Chelsea's current situation.

There is no absolute on the football field, only relatives, so the head coach needs to make a choice.

"It depends on whether Ibrahimovic, who Gao Han bets, can take on this stalemate."

…………

…………

Ibrahimovic was very depressed.

He is surrounded by people.

Needless to say, Toure and Campbell, the two central defenders, are the two centre-backs. As soon as Chelsea's ball reaches the frontcourt, Gilberto Silva and Vieira will double-team at the same time, protecting the defense line, and also cut off his connection with other teammates.

This kind of defense between the inside and the outside makes him feel as if he was in jail and isolated from the world.

The ball was passed again and came to the front of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic wanted to compete for the first place, but this time it was Campbell. This guy was not small, but his speed was not slow. He was ahead of Ibrahimovic several times.

Campbell headed the ball and pushed the ball back, and Chelsea's attack returned in vain.

"Boy, where is your arrogant arrogance at the beginning?" Campbell rubbed the forehead of the ball and walked back with a smile.

Ibrahimovic was a little annoyed, but he could do nothing because he could never break through the opponent's defensive cage.

This made the Swedish center gritted his teeth with hatred, especially when he saw Campbell and Toure's chuckling expressions, he snorted coldly, but he couldn't help but feel even more anxious.

"Calm down, Zlatan." The voice of head coach Gao Han came from the sidelines.

The Swedish center nodded at the sound, waved his hand, and signaled that he could hear it, but he still crashed into Arsenal's defense zone like a headless fly.

"It seems that he firmly believes in one sentence." Gao Han on the sidelines shook his head and smiled.

"What?" Cantalero and Emery were both surprised.

It's already this time, and you can still laugh?

"A man, you can get up from wherever you fall."

The coaching staff are all covered in black lines. Is this an advantage?

He is a forward, but not a stubborn donkey.

Gao Han ignored what his assistants were thinking, walked directly to the sidelines, waved to Ronaldinho nearby, and the latter immediately ran over, approached Gao Han, muttered a few words, and returned to the stadium.

Soon, Chelsea reorganized a chance and still passed the ball from the middle and backcourt to the frontcourt.

The difference is that this time it was passed to the left.

Ronaldinho retreated and received the pass. As soon as he stopped, he immediately led to the middle without waiting for Lauren to approach.

Arsenal was also very afraid of Chelsea's number one superstar, and Vieira immediately blocked her.

"Zlatan!"

Before Vieira and Lauren joined forces, Ronaldinho made the ball first and passed it to the front of the penalty area, but suddenly accelerated to the middle. After seeing Ibrahimovic tacitly pulling out to catch the ball, he shouted again, "Come back!"

Before the Brazilian finished speaking, Ibrahimovic's pass had already come behind Vieira. As soon as Ronaldinho received the ball, Gilberto Silva rushed towards him, but the Brazilian magician still passed the ball to the right side of the arc top area.

I saw young player Robben quickly cut in from the right rib and grabbed the ball before everyone.

As a left-footed player, he used his body to block left back Ashley Cole on the right side, but his left foot was swung quite freely and calmly, and shot a curved shot.

But perhaps the opportunity came too suddenly, the shot was too fast, the angle was not grasped well, and it was remote!

Although it was an unsuccessful start, Gao Han, who was on the sidelines, kept applauding.

This time the offensive tactics were very successful.

If it weren't Robben, but Etoo, he would probably have entered.

But it should also be the other way around. If it were Etoho, Arsenal would probably not have so much defensive energy on Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.

Everyone knows that Robben is best at the left winger. He moves to the right and performs well and badly. It is such an important game, so Wenger seems to be sure Robben will not perform well.

As it turns out, Wenger's judgment was correct.

But if it succeeds once, there will be a second soon.

A few minutes later, Chelsea created another opportunity.

This time it was Ibrahimovic who grabbed the first landing point. Ronaldinho quickly cut in from the left. After grabbing the second landing point, he passed to the middle. Lampard suddenly inserted and shot a powerful shot without defending.

The shooting speed and strength of this kick were both fast and strong, and the ball was suppressed, but the angle was too straight and was directly hit by Lehman.

After two consecutive waves of attacks, they seemed to be the same, but Gao Han could feel the changes in the situation.

Especially Arsenal's defense, he began to not focus on Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic as before, but began to worry about Robben and Lampard who was inserted in the back, which reduced the defensive pressure faced by Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho.

For players like them with super personal abilities, once the defensive pressure is light, their chances of performance will come.

What's more, until now, Gao Han hasn't even used a skill card yet.

Thinking of this, Gao Han smiled lightly, entered the coaching system, turned around on several skill cards, and finally selected a five-star confrontation card.

"You're the one!" Gao Han happily used this confrontation card.

"Start with five-star confrontation cards, target: Ibrahimovic."

After exiting the coaching system, Gao Han looked at the Swedish God Tower on the court again. He was the highest skyline on the court at this moment, even a few centimeters higher than Arsenal's central defender and goalkeeper.
