This summer, Fulham's signing continued their style, buying Berbatov at a low price, signing Wigan attacker Rodalega and Hamburg striker Peterridge, which well supplemented the vacancy after Andy Johnson left. In terms of personnel loss, the absolute main players Dembele and Dempsey joined Tottenham Hotspur, which suffered a lot of losses. The powerful scorer Pogrebniak, who rented in winter, also joined the newly promoted Reading.

Fulham's personnel have changed a lot, especially the attack line has almost changed. The prospects of such a team are unpredictable. When the media reported on Fulham, they also used "hard to guess" to describe it. The media naturally is optimistic about Chelsea in their game against Chelsea, but Fulham's performance is also worth looking forward to.

Last season, Fulham ranked first in the London minor league. In the new season, it remains to be seen what kind of results Fulham can achieve under the leadership of head coach Baba. However, they performed well in the previous few rounds of the league, and now they beat Arsenal to rank ninth in the league.

Before the game, the media reported on the West London derby, and many people were looking forward to Fulham's performance.

Especially when they talked about Fulham's home victory against Chelsea last season, Fulham performed quite well in that game. They had the advantage at the beginning and caught Chelsea off guard. Later, they relied on steady defense to defend the goal. This tactic of fighting against a strong team was talked about by many people.

What will they do now?

Many people are looking forward to it.

In such public opinion reports, the game between the two teams was held at the Farm Stadium. For head coach Baba, this game is not a must-win. After all, the opponent is Chelsea, although it is a derby. Such an idea must not be expressed, but in fact it is. No one will criticize them if Fulham loses the game, because Chelsea has been too strong in recent years, so Baba is not under great pressure to face the derby battle, so their players are not under great pressure.

After the game started, they also played very easily.

After the game started, Fulham performed very well. They and Chelsea attacked and defended each other, and even had some advantages in the field.

Grant watched the game and had an idea in his mind. He looked at the direction of the Fulham coach's seat and saw that the opponent's head coach Baba was watching the game seriously. It could be seen that Baba seemed a little nervous and looked forward to it.

Yes, he still used the tactics he played against Chelsea last season.

Using their home advantage, they launched a large-scale attack and let go of their opponents. If they can score, they will immediately shrink their defense and then use the defense to prevent the opponent from scoring, so as to play the game. As long as they succeed, Fulham can at least keep a draw.

That's what Baba thought.

Because he knew very well that he would play against Chelsea normally. Even at Fulham, they would not have much chance - in fact, in history, Fulham has not won at home for 27 consecutive years, and home games are not good for them.

Before the two teams' matches, Grant also carefully studied Fulham.

Although Fulham is not a strong team that needs to be taken seriously, this game is different from other leagues after all. Fulham and Chelsea are the mortal enemies of West London, and the hatred between the two teams is not that serious and absolutely cannot be weak, so this game must be won.

I have studied my opponent carefully, and naturally I have also studied the games I lost last season.

When Grant saw his opponent playing against Chelsea so easily, he knew what the opponent was thinking. However, the Israelites did nothing. He just sat calmly on the coach's seat and watched the game, as if he knew nothing, but in fact, Grant had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Play against Chelsea?

In the second half of last season, Chelsea in poor form may have a sneak attack by Fulham, but now his Chelsea team is in excellent condition. The team has an excellent player like Zhang Tiehan. The first goal this time may not be Fulham.

...

Grant's idea is very simple. Fulham wants to attack and score a goal, so let the game go like this. At that time, we have to see who scored the goal first!

He was a little looking forward to it.

The two coaches on the coach's bench changed their minds, and the players on the field were still on the field. The Fulham players knew the coach's tactical style, so they launched a large-scale attack at the beginning, and the defense seemed a little weaker, but they didn't care. All they wanted was to score a goal first. As long as this goal was achieved, it would not be too late to defend later.

Chelsea players don't have that much thought, they just continue to play normally.

In this game, Zhang Tiehan was mentioned in the frontcourt. As a forward and Kalu partner, this is the first time the team has, Drogba and Shepchenko both sat on the bench.

This is the rotation that Grant uses.

After all, the team still has to participate in the Champions League group stage and the next League Cup, appropriate rotation is very necessary. Since the start of the game, Drogba has been a steady starting striker. Now that he is allowed to watch a game, it is time for others to try it out.

Zhang Tiehan was mentioned in the front court, so there were naturally more spaces in the back court.

Marklele appeared.

Marklele is a little older, but he is in very good shape. If the team had not had a position, he could compete with Lampard for the start. In fact, in the media, Marklele's role is greater than Lampard, because Marklele's defense is more stable and his skills are better than Lampard. Lampard is better at straight-forward football. With Marklele, Chelsea's offensive skills will improve a lot.

It’s a pity that Lampard is Chelsea’s symbol. Grant cannot let Marklele replace Lampard. What’s more, Lampard is in excellent form in the start of the game, and his goals can even be compared with Zhang Tiehan.

That's what Chelsea's frontcourt is.

This kind of frontcourt looks quite powerful when fighting with Fulham, but Fulham played a "live-free" football, and Chelsea was a little passive at the beginning, but he did not find any chance within ten minutes. After ten minutes, Chelsea slowly recovered from strength.

Fulham is still looking for a goal opportunity, and they are not aware of the crisis.

But when they realized it, it was too late.

This was an attack launched by Chelsea in the fifteen minutes of the opening. Lampard intervened on the side assist and cooperated with Wright Phillips, who started the game, and passed the ball to the left of the penalty area. Then, under the pressure of the opponent's defensiveness, Lampard passed the ball back to Marklele, who made a pass and the football went straight to the right side of the penalty area.

With two feet passed, the football moved from the left side of the penalty area to the right side.

Fulham's defense was overwhelmed, and they reacted a little slower. As a result, Kalu on the right found an opportunity and stepped straight to the back point of the goal. The Fulham goalkeeper reacted quickly and he saved the ball. However, Zhang Tiehan, who saw the opportunity, saw through and found the football landing point as soon as possible. He suddenly threw away the defensive player and headed straight to the landing point. All he needed to do was to send the ball into the empty goal with one kick.

This ball rewritten the score to 0:1, and Chelsea took the lead away game.

Zhang Tiehan smiled after scoring the goal. In fact, he likes this kind of ball that can be re-shooted. He feels that the secret skill of "see through" is specially designed for this. It is very effective in re-shooting. He can always know the landing point quickly, know the landing point first, and suddenly starts up one step faster than the defensive player.

If he doesn't see through it, he will be slower than the other half if he wants to judge the landing point, and the opponent's defensive player's reaction speed will not be much slower than him. It will be difficult for him to start and throw away the other half.

...

After Zhang Tiehan helped the team score a goal, Chelsea's situation became much better.

After scoring a goal, they have an advantage in leading the opponent. They play without pressure and play more easily. On the other hand, Fulham players are a little depressed. According to Coach Baba's script, the game should not be played like this.

Their script is - they scored a goal first, and then the whole team retreated to defend. As a result, the opponent scored a goal, and they didn't know how to do it well.

Some players looked to the coach's seat.

Baba was sitting there, his face was a little gloomy. He was obviously caught off guard by Zhang Tiehan's goal. He didn't expect that Chelsea would score so quickly. His team attacked for a long time and did not find a good opportunity. Not only did he easily penetrate the defense of the backcourt by the opponent.

This game is not easy to play!

For a moment, Baba didn't know how to do it well. Should he let the team continue to attack and strive to score goals and equalize the score, or choose to retreat to defend?

There is a chance to choose an offense.

If you choose a defense, you will be much more passive. It is not easy to score a goal when you counterattack, so Baba doesn't know how to do it well.

Just while he was still thinking, Chelsea had already taken the opportunity to score another goal. This goal was only three minutes away from Zhang Tiehan's goal just now, which was completed by Marklele. His cold shot outside the penalty area scored the second goal for Chelsea. The score instantly turned 0:2, and Chelsea led by two goals.

At this time, Baba finally knew how to do it.

Defense! Strengthen defense!

Giving Chelsea two goals ahead, no team dares to say that there is still a chance to equalize. This is almost the law of the Premier League. Although Chelsea has changed its head coach and the Portuguese who pursues utilitarian football and "doesn't do anything" to win, Chelsea's strength is there, at least his team is not able to challenge Chelsea.

Choose defense, although the chance of winning is smaller, at least they won’t lose too badly!

This is a derby battle!

If he lost 5:0 or 6:0 in the derby battle, his coach position would probably be shaken. Fulham fans will definitely be extremely dissatisfied with him. Judging from Chelsea's current state, it is still very likely to continue to attack. Thinking of this, Baba quickly walked to the sidelines and let the team retreat to defend.

Fulham made a big attack at the opening game with high fighting spirit, and less than twenty minutes later, they passively chose to defend.

Both extremes were revealed.

The same was true for the game last season, but in the end they were the winners, and now they are still the same, but even the Fulham fans on the scene knew that they could probably only be losers. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
