Plus their morale is not high …
In the seventy-first minute, Chelsea’s attack finally paid off. This time, Zhang man of iron broke through with the ball. He didn’t choose to cut, but directly took the ball to the baseline, and then hung the ball directly to the left of the penalty area with one foot.
It’s very timely this time!
When he saw the football flying over, Luo Ying touched the ball with the toe of the opposing defender, and the football instantly changed direction and went towards the goal.
Middlesbrough goalkeeper’s conscious reaction leg blocked the ball from the goal.
But the attack is not yet!
When the football went into the penalty area, Lampard kicked the ball into the goal. At the moment when the football flew into the goal, it turned to England. Alfie tried his best to shout, "The goal is in! ! ! gal! ! ! !”
"Lampard! !”
Many Chelsea fans followed suit and shouted.
"This is the third goal in Lampard’s league, three goals in two games. Lampard’s performance is really excellent! !” Chelsea teammates also congratulated Lampard as the commentator roared and the fans cheered.
Two three-goal Lampard goals are too efficient.
Lampard also seemed very happy to score this goal. Lampard was Chelsea’s top scorer this season, and he scored more goals than striker Drogba. Many media questioned that Chelsea’s frontcourt performance was due to Lampard’s goal.
Isn’t it strange that a midfielder scores more goals than all strikers? It’s a testament to Chelsea’s attacking power … but Lampard, the protagonist, feels quite good. Chelsea’s attacking power and his ability to score goals are not his own.
The game resumed soon after celebrating the goal.
The next game was almost like entering the garbage, and Middlesbrough had no fighting spirit at all, even though it was a home game, they did the same.
Before the game, Zhang Tiehan took another corner kick to head the ball to help the team score the last goal.
1:4
Middlesbrough, the home team, and Chelsea, the visiting team, are behind, which is also the final score.
……
Finally, the game ended, and the players of both teams walked towards the dressing room, and the two head coaches also walked into the middle of the game and shook hands in many camera shots.
It’s polite
Grant’s face was full of laughter.
He came to think that the game would be difficult, but now it is a big win, which gives him more confidence.
Coach Chelsea is a stressful job, but now that the team has beaten him two times in a row, it will be a relief. Less media will not accuse him of anything after the game.
After all these years in coaching, Grant knows that the most important thing in the game is to win, and everything is easy to say.
So he was very happy about the victory.
Grant was interviewed at the press conference after the game.
Media reporters are more concerned about the tactics of the new season when interviewing Grant. Although the league has passed two rounds, it is actually the prelude to the Premier League. Grant also showed confidence in winning two games in a row.
During Mourinho’s coaching season, Chelsea often played a single striker in the 4-5-1 formation. There was a striker in Chelsea’s midfield, but Grant believed that the addition of Sepcenko, Zhang Tiehan and Ballack in the summer gave Chelsea more choices.
Grant even gave some tactical ideas, saying that he would abandon the single-striker array and emphasize offensive football so that Chelsea fans could also watch the attacking combination and tactics.
"In the new season, we will devote ourselves to attacking instead of defending, because attack is the best defense. Now we are ready to turn into an attacking team, and the players will focus more on attacking, which is more in line with the unified style of Premier League teams."
Grant’s idea has been affirmed by many media.
No one doesn’t like offensive football, and now Chelsea is absolutely capable of playing it. Of course, Grant’s offensive football can guarantee the team’s victory.
"This may be the difference between Grant and Mourinho," some media analysts pointed out.
I have to say that Grant’s remarks really made the media pay less attention to him instead of treating him as a team player. It must be bad for a head coach to be regarded as a so-called person by the media. Grant also intends to show himself.
His idea of attack football seems to be very marketable.
Grant said, "My goal is to put two strikers in the front line and add more offensive players in the center and frontcourt. I made this change because I would rather see the team win than 1-0. If you ask me whether I would like the team to win or 6-5, I certainly like the former, but if it is 1-0, I would like to win now. If we can increase our offensive power without losing our defensive strength, then I am glad that the team can score more goals."
On Grant’s speech if he won two consecutive victories.
Former media and fans regard him more as a foil. Some people think that Mourinho’s departure from Chelsea will be a disaster, but Grant has achieved good results in leading the team so far, and many media are also concerned about what the Israelite can bring to Chelsea.
Offensive football? Very thoughtful
Many people know that Abramovich likes attacking football. When Mourinho was in charge, the Russians were always dissatisfied with the team’s conservative’ 1: 1 tactics’. He thought the team’s football was not good-looking. He hoped to see beautiful attacking football, but Mourinho refused to adopt it. He was more interested in victory. Since defense can bring victory, defense is the best choice.
Because of this, Mourinho also had a conflict with Abramovich.
This may also be the reason why he left Chelsea-not just the man of iron issue. Now Grant said that playing offensive football is to cater to the appetite of the fans’ chairman or is it really an idea? This is unknown at present, and even Chelsea players don’t know it.
Up to now, team training is still in the normal range.
Grant didn’t come up with any new tactics to adapt the team in training, but Chelsea really played well in these two league games, which is undeniable, but perhaps more because the opponent was weak and Chelsea was able to suppress it.
What about picking it up?
In the face of the formation of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, this tactical affirmation method has been suppressed. Will there be any offensive football then?
Many people wipe their eyes.
Then Grant emphasized the young players of the team "… I think Chelsea is a very different team compared with Chelsea now, not only its strength has increased, but also new players have emerged."
Grant emphasized that several names, such as Salomon Kalou and Diarra Mikel, may play an important role in the new season. Besides, although Zhang Tiehan is expensive, he is definitely a young player.
"I need these young people to be 100% prepared. They must dare to meet the challenge when the team needs them. Whether it’s 9 minutes or 1 minute, they all go all out and play their level."
On whether the media is mostly telling Grant or praising him.
The good news for Chelsea players after this game is that Lampard scored his third league goal and Zhang Tiehan also scored two goals, and he scored twice to help the team win.
The two are post-match stars.
Zhang Tiehan became the best player in the game with his performance.
In this game, Zhang Tiehan performed very well. Two of the four goals scored by Chelsea were scored by Zhang Tiehan, and Drogba’s goal was also his direct assist. He performed perfectly in this game.
Look at the performance of Chelsea fans after the game and know that they are satisfied with Zhang Tiehan’s performance.
After the game, many Chelsea fans in the audience shouted Zhang Tiehan’s name, and they waved to Zhang Tiehan constantly. When Zhang Tiehan walked out of the stadium, he smiled and waved back to them.
Zhang Tiehan was in a good mood. He was also interviewed by a reporter in the mixed zone. This is a reporter from the Daily News.
"Chelsea won two rounds in a row. You scored two goals in the game. How do you feel now? Can you tell me about your mood?" The reporter asked.
Zhang Tiehan smiled and greeted his teammates, then replied, "We have been conducting tactical training before the game. We were fully prepared for the game. The victory was not my own credit. Middlesbrough defended this game very well. Sometimes I feel that we can’t move forward, but we finally won. I am glad that I can say this."
