The first half is over.

The scoreboard shows the score "0:5", with the home team in front and the away team in back, Newcastle United led Chelsea by five goals, and many people couldn't believe it when they looked at the score.

This is Stamford Bridge Stadium!

The home team is a powerful Chelsea. Since Chelsea started, they have only lost one game. Facing last season's champion Newcastle United, even if they perform badly suddenly, they should not play so badly. Why are they so much behind?

Blues fans can't accept it.

There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

When the referee announced the end of the first half, the players on both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

Chelsea goalkeeper Cech took off his gloves, the breath in his eyes was a little dull, he felt his mind was confused, and goals seemed to be still in front of him, and he didn't know how to walk back.

A mistake!

Can't swoop!

Can't react!

Among the few goals in the first half, there were more mistakes in saves. Cech thought he was not good at playing well. He didn't understand why he made mistakes every time, and every time he made a judgment, he seemed to be a little worse.

"How could this happen?"

Cech could not accept it. He kept thinking about other reasons, but he could not find it anyway.

Sad!

Cech was a little unconfident. He was not sure that he could recover his condition after resting for more than ten minutes.

No one comforted him.

The other Chelsea players felt that they were not much better, and they were completely stunned. The opponent scored five goals in the first half, and they didn't know how the game was played.

The scores are too unfriendly!

It was a normal game, but the opponent scored the ball continuously. It would be fine if the overall performance was poor, but they felt that the performance was pretty good, with a higher possession rate than the opponent and more attacks than the opponent, but the opponent always shot from a long distance and scored very accurately.

This is unreasonable!

Chelsea knew the opponent's way of playing, which was to send the ball to the front. As long as the distance was slightly closer, or even 30 meters away, the opponent would directly shoot.

This is hard to stop.

For example, for the last goal, Duff's kicking position was on the side and the angle to the goal was very small, but the opponent kicked the ball directly into it, and they all felt very weak.

All the players had a calm face, and some even had the urge to cry, and they felt very desperate about the game.

Five goals behind!

No chance!

Chelsea will definitely lose with a big score!

As Chelsea's head coach, Scolari also wanted to cry. The reason for his sadness was whether the score was the score, but his sadness was his ability, because he could not understand the game at all, and he could not find the reason for his continuous lag in the past halftime.

Why?

right!

Cech's performance is not good!

but……

Scolari knew it was just an excuse. Cech failed to save the ball, which did not mean that his performance was poor, because the opponent's goal was very exciting, and several shots could be said to be a "must-scoring goal".

Isn’t it natural for the goalkeeper to save the ‘must-scorer’?

certainly.

A world-class goalkeeper like Cech has a chance to save a "must-scoring goal". One of them did not save and performed a bit poorly, but even if Cech performed very well, the opponent scored at least three.

Is there a difference between 0 to 3 and 0 to 5?

Scolari shook his head as he thought, he had to keep a calm heart and carefully think about the strategy for the second half.

The game must have been lost!

Even at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea would not be able to recover five goals in the first half. What should be done below is how to "protect" the team instead of considering what victory or defeat.

First of all, Cech must be replaced.

This is not to say that he is dissatisfied with Cech, but to protect him. If you change to rest on the sidelines, you may be able to restore your confidence.

In addition, the playing style must be adjusted. Never let the opponent score another goal, otherwise the goal will be really hit into a funnel and the public pressure will be very great, which will have a great impact on the fighting spirit and confidence of the whole team, and will even affect future games.

Therefore, we must strengthen the defense at the front of the penalty area.

Scolari's decision was to replace Anelka. Anelka had two chances in the first half. One time he failed to find a good shot, and the other time he missed it. He did not pose a direct threat. It was indeed a waste of him and Drogba on the front line.

Barack is a good choice.

Barack returned to the team late, and Scolari did not trust him very much. The season started and the number of starts was not many, but the German captain's strength is worthy of recognition.

Barack replaced Anelka, and the formation could be replaced with 4321.

The single-arrow formation is not for offense. Three midfielders and two forwards can ensure the thickness of the defense.

Scolari's purpose is to block the front of the penalty area and not allow the opponent to take off his feet at will.

On the other side.

In the Newcastle United locker room, Keegan did not have the excitement as he imagined. Like Scolari, he fell into the trouble of "not understanding the game". It is worth being happy to be the team leading the score, but the offensive style was not formulated by him, so he always felt strange in his heart.

This is the same as an ordinary company.

A manager who had just taken office designated a development strategy, but the strategy was modified by the employee. He had no way to restrain employees with old qualifications and deep backgrounds, so he could only let the people below do it. As a result, the strategy modified by the employee was very effective, which was ten times or a hundred times more than his strategy expected.

This is embarrassing.

Keegan had to fall into a thought, "Zhen Shaolong's tactical ability is stronger than mine?"

"How is that possible!"

"He is just a player who doesn't understand tactics, and tactical training is full of problems..."

Keegan couldn't believe this conclusion.

During the halftime break, Keegan just praised the players' performance and made everyone continue to work hard. It was embarrassing that he said these words because he felt that the players didn't care at all, and most of them went to listen to Zhen Shaolong.

Keegan is depressed!

Angry!

He couldn't tolerate being unable to control the team, but he wanted to say something but found that he couldn't say anything. He simply thought about this problem from a corner.

A few minutes later, he figured it out!

No matter how the team is in the situation, players still respect him, but Zhen Shaolong did better.

That's right.

A player does better than his coach.

Is there any way?

Even among the media and fans, they will think that Zhen Shaolong is much more important than him, and other head coaches are eager to have players like Zhen Shaolong.

What else is not satisfied?

Keegan feels that it is not a big deal to be as good as Zhen Shaolong in the team. If any head coach comes to Newcastle United, his status cannot be compared with Zhen Shaolong.

For example, Scolari on the opposite side.

Scolari is not yet in his own glory. Even if he leads the team to win continuously, he will not have the right to speak without winning the championship. The rumors say that within Chelsea, Anelka is not in compliance with the control, and the team often contradicts Scolari, and Scolari has no way of doing anything.

Keegan suddenly felt that it didn't matter.

Anelka?

How do forwards of this level compare to Zhen Shaolong?

Scolari has no choice but to do with Anelka, but he is not as good as himself, because he is facing Zhen Shaolong, just like playing the boss in the game. He has no choice but to do with the boss and the elite monsters next to him. It is completely different concepts.

Keegan felt that he was much taller, so he simply put down his depressed thoughts and called Zhen Shaolong to the door, asking out his doubts, "Zhen, I want to talk to you alone. What do you think, why can you have this effect by allowing other people to shoot continuously long distances?"

"I mean the effect now, leading by five goals."

Zhen Shaolong was silent.

"Tell me, I want to talk to you openly. I think you should also participate in the development of tactics in the future. Your abilities are recognized by the whole team."

Zhen Shaolong continued to remain silent.

"It's okay, you can say anything, don't be nervous..." Keegan kept persuading.

Zhen Shaolong held it in for a long time and finally said, "This is my ability!"

"What are your abilities?"

Keegan is confused.

Zhen Shaolong felt that he could not say much, otherwise what should he do if the system leaked out?
