In fact, choosing Li Bin's Tottenham Hotspur as the touchstone was not Hiddink's intention, but more Drogba's intention.
In the first half of the season, Tottenham won a victory against Chelsea. That game always made Drogba very angry: because of that game, he didn't have a chance until the last moment.
On the field, he scored a goal, but he could not restore Chelsea's decline. In the following half season, he almost always watched Tottenham riding on Chelsea's head, which naturally made Drogba intolerable.
From the day he arrived at Chelsea, he could not remember which team other than Manchester United could suppress Chelsea for a long time. In the past, opponents like Tottenham were not considered at all by him.
Scumbag, now he is riding on Chelsea's head. How could he endure such a thing?
"We will definitely beat Tottenham and they will realize what the real Chelsea is!"
When Drogba said this to the media, he did not consider the strength of Tottenham at all, because he knew very well that as long as Hiddink can make good use of him, Chelsea will be able to achieve good results no matter what. And his
In short, it gave Li Bin a bit of a headache at Tottenham - Drogba is indeed a very strong player. Chelsea, with him and without him, are indeed two very different teams.
How important is Drogba? Many people have different views on this issue. Chelsea fans think that Drogba is the best in the world, while some people think that Drogba is a troublemaker. Li Bin does not think that Drogba is the best in the world.
Drogba is the best in the world - if we really talk about the combination of hard power and honor, Eto'o should be considered even more - but he also has to admit that Drogba with tactical support is very terrifying.
The use of Drogba is a microcosm of Chelsea's problem of constantly changing coaches: Chelsea's tactical problems have been talked about so much, but in fact it is just one sentence: without Drogba, how can we play football?
Mourinho has built a team at Chelsea with a top-notch central axis and wingers. However, with the increasing number of injuries on both wings of this lineup, a big problem has emerged.
In front of them: because the two wings are gone, they can only rely on the middle to eat raw.
At this time, Drogba's importance is higher than tactics. If he plays well, Chelsea will be strong. If he plays poorly, Chelsea will be nothing. John Terry, Macklay
Rai, Ballack, Lampard, Carvalho... these people are also top players, but in this tactic
In the system, Drogba is the source and the most important point of all tactics. Relying on Drogba as the first point in the frontcourt is a necessary tactic for Chelsea. This is especially obvious when attacking strong teams on defense.
If Drogba is good, Chelsea will be strong. If Drogba is not used well, Chelsea will not be good - this is
Ever since Robben suffered many injuries, Chelsea has been a big problem. In the first half of the season, Scolari used the cost of his dismissal to tell others that without Drogba, Chelsea just couldn't play well. Starting from the late period of Mourinho
, Chelsea’s tactics also have one characteristic: Drogba is everything in tactics.
It is very inappropriate to let one person override tactics. Even if Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona has Messi, they would not dare to place all their hopes on one person. What's more, compared to others, Drogba has more
A big question: Drogba was born in 1978, so he is too old. In the 2008-09 season, he was already 31 years old. At the age of 31
, for a big center, it is already the end of his career. Big centers rely heavily on their bodies to play football. After they are 30 years old, not many can still maintain their top form. Especially Germany.
Drogba is still black, and black players generally decline faster. How long Drogba can last is also a big question.
Abramovich's tactical reforms in recent years have all revolved around this: Drogba's age makes him afraid that if Drogba is injured and his condition is sluggish, the team will have nothing. Therefore, he constantly
Changing coaches, to put it bluntly, is looking for a way to win without relying on Drogba. Abramovich spent a lot of money to buy Shevchenko and Torres. To put it bluntly, what he wants has always been
Thinking about how to allow Chelsea to play football after Drogba is unavailable.
A person can toss a team to this point, which shows how important Drogba is. At this time, no one knows that Drogba can still play football even at the age of 35. People are worried about him.
Naturally, there are many, and Abramovich also wants to carry out reforms. Mourinho cannot do this reform. He established DeRo
Although he didn't have the model of Drogba, he couldn't come up with an idea of what to do if Drogba failed. At the same time, he still used Drogba desperately, but was abandoned by Abramovich. And Grant needless to say, his tactics are simply copied from Mourinho.
Austrian Scolari wanted to carry out reforms, but he went too far and failed. And now Hiddink, although he said
Back to the Mourinho era, but he is also planning reforms. In Li Bin's memory, Chelsea's reform was the most successful under Ancelotti in the next few years. However, due to improper use of the midfield, he was beaten by Ferguson three times in one season.
Killing, all defeated and dismissed, Boas wanted to take a drastic action, but ended up cutting himself half to death, but it was Dima who was the last
Special Olympics got a bargain: Drogba was determined to leave that season anyway, so just treat him like a beast and use him to death - this desperate strategy also allowed Chelsea and Drogba to play last in 2012
Playing at the best level in three Champions League games made Chelsea the champion - Chelsea's success or failure is tied to Drogba.
And speaking of it, Chelsea had been struggling for several years because they were afraid that Drogba would collapse, but Drogba always held on - this story is also quite ironic...
Such a player has just gained a supportive coach to join the team, and he has exerted all his strength and wants to kill his team - Li Bin also smiled bitterly at this kind of thing, and met an explosive guy.
Didier Drogba is equivalent to meeting an explosive Chelsea. There is not much difference between the two.
"Hiddink will definitely make some changes to Drogba. Mourinho overused Drogba in the last period of time. Grant also added Anelka, but there was no change. Scolari didn't
Let's talk about him, the reform has completely failed, and Hiddink will probably make a fuss around Drogba, but I don't know what he will do..."
Esposito is still thinking about this problem, but Li Bin is already very clear about the outcome of this problem. There are shadows of Hiddink's Chelsea playing style in his memory: Hiddink understands that without Drogba, Chelsea will be
If you are not good at playing football, at this stage, there is no need to take the test
Considering what happened after Drogba fell, he considered using Drogba. Therefore, what he considered was to reduce the burden on Drogba. And how to reduce the burden on Drogba? His method was very simple.
, since Drogba cannot be overused, then Essien should be overused.
"Mikel stood behind, Lampard and Essien swept in front of him. He completely gave up possession of the ball and focused on sweeping the backcourt. Malouda hugged the wings in the frontcourt, Anelka and Drogba
Take turns to attack the opponent's defender, use your physical advantage to create opportunities, and then use counterattacks to score goals. If it cannot be solved in a short time, then replace Mikel with Ballack and rely on Ballack's small-scale coordination ability to score goals.
Chelsea provide support - that's the tactic Hiddink would use."
After drawing the schematic diagram on the tactical board, Li Bin motioned to Esposito to come over and take a look. Esposito looked at the tactical diagram and quickly asked a question, "They just played a game with Villa. You
That’s all you can tell?”
"Of course it's not all about watching. I was trying to figure out Hiddink's routine and guessing how he would lead the team to play." Li Bin did not explain in detail. Anyway, he was sure this was right.
"Then you are going too far, right? Do you think Hiddink will use Essien to death... According to your estimation, how big an area does Essien have to cover? Even if he is really a buffalo, with such a large coverage area,
He won’t last even one season and will have to collapse from exhaustion!”
"The question is, does Hiddink need him to last for a season?" Li Bin turned around and asked, "Didn't Hiddink only coach for half a season?"
These words made Esposito a little dumb for a moment, but why should Hiddink worry about next season? He has only coached for half a season.
Li Bin looked at the tactical board and was thinking: He has a memory of Essien's terror. In his memory, in this half-season, Essien killed Juventus, targeted Gerrard, and in the battle with Barcelona
In the Stamford Bridge game, he played a game that amazed the whole world. Li Bin also knows that with his running skills, it is very difficult to
He is easily injured. If he is an average player, he will be exhausted after two or three games. However, that is Essien. His physical strength is already terrifying. Hiddink gives him the power to be the team's defensive player.
Core, then his power will be fully demonstrated. This half season is definitely the half season in which Essien can become a god.
However, facing Chelsea like this, Li Bin did not think about holding on to maintain the tie. Unlike Liverpool, Liverpool did not have many ways to defend against Tottenham, but Chelsea at least had Drogba. Drogba's body is too strong
, Li Bin and he set up a bus, it is very likely that he was smashed by him. Moreover, he also had some eager thoughts: in his memory, Barcelona's attacks were suppressed by this Chelsea team.
Before halftime, there was only one shot in the game. So, what results can your team achieve at Stamford Bridge? Li Bin’s tactics are different from Barcelona. Barcelona seeks to seize opportunities and does not have good enough opportunities.
Sometimes he would rather pass back, but what Li Bin is looking for is to try opportunities. He is willing to let the players try more. Will this style of play have greater advantages than Barcelona's style of play?
Against a team like Chelsea that completely gives up midfield control and implements a full sweep, it is easy to control the ball but difficult to attack. It is impossible to play steadily. However, if you fully let go of the speed and have a head-to-head confrontation with your opponent,
Woolen cloth?
If you don’t try, you will never know. The chance of playing against a strong team like Chelsea in an away game is very slim. It is difficult for Li Bin to think of any way to completely suppress the opponent and achieve a complete game.
Victory, in this case, then it is better to have a duel with the opponent. If the poke is good, you might win.
"The midfield is speeding up across the board, and the two wingers are well utilized. Try more long-range shots from the right wing and cooperate with the ribs near the small penalty area to suppress Ashley Cole and be unable to get in, and you can waste half of their attacks.
Ballack was very tired from playing in the European Cup, and his physical strength dropped drastically. He was not very good as a starter. Moreover, Chelsea had to rely on his small skills as a final supplement. They could only use Mikel as the main force, and
Mikel's coverage is our best chance of victory."
Li Bin drew a line on the tactical board. This tactic was also the tactic he needed to consider when playing against Chelsea. Since he couldn't beat Drogba, he would just stay in the midfield and gain an advantage.
Li Bin was still very confident in his approach. However, it wasn't until he saw the Chelsea players' playing list that Li Bin suddenly realized that he was wrong.
"Ashley Cole is the substitute and Ivanovic is the starter?" Li Bin saw this list and immediately understood what he was doing.
Move Bosingwa to the left to resist Di Maria, and put Ivanovic on the right to attack behind Bale. In this game, Li Bin is assessing Hiddink's thoughts, and Hiddink is also assessing
Following Li Bin's calculation, and it seems that Hiddink's calculation seems to be superior...
