Chapter 532 Lore!
The second half of the game started soon.
No one knows what happened in the locker room between the two sides at halftime, but whether it was Scaloni or Arteta, they seemed to have made an appointment and stayed put.
The formation style of play has not been adjusted, and the player lineup has not changed.
Even when the second half of the game was still stalemate until the 60th minute, the two sides had no intention of making substitutions and adjustments.
I have to say, this is a very strange thing.
After all, these two coaches are Pan Yi's favorite disciples, and Pan Yi's biggest trick is to quickly find the problem on the field, and then use substitutions or formation changes to finally break the game.
Now is it because both sides are from the same sect, so there is no flaw in each other's moves?Or is it simply because it's too familiar?
In short, Arteta doesn't make substitutions now, and Scaloni doesn't make substitutions either. Both sides are just wasting their time.
Although the two of them have been standing on the sidelines directing the game as usual, and they can be heard shouting and encouraging the players on the court from time to time, they really have no plans to make major adjustments to the existing lineup tactics.
Time is passing bit by bit.
The slightly dull game also made the fans a little restless.
And when the time entered 10 minutes, Arteta suddenly turned around and walked back to the coach's bench, and said to Steve Holland: "How is it?"
Steve Horan clearly understood what Arteta wanted and immediately handed him his tablet.
On the screen of the tablet, there is displayed the data of York City players that he has been counting and collecting, including kilometers run, sprint frequency, number of defensive returns, etc.
This does not include technical data such as the number of shots, the number of passes, the success rate of passes or the success rate of breakthroughs. In fact, it is mainly biased towards the evaluation of the physical condition of the players.
And this is also the breakthrough point Arteta wants to seek.
Because he knew that under such a high-intensity confrontation, there would definitely be players in York City who couldn't stand it.
At this time, Chelsea will carry out key attacks based on its weak points, which will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Now, Arteta has keenly captured a point from this row of data.
Lin Liangming is dying!
In fact, since entering 10 minutes, his performance level has shown a downward trend, with less running and insufficient defense.
This shows that under the repeated attacks of Hazard and Marcos Alonso, the Dragon Country international is indeed a bit tired of coping and feels that he can hardly hold on.
This is exactly the opportunity Arteta has been waiting for!
However, just when Arteta was about to stand up and prepare to switch to seat B before launching a fierce attack on Lin Liangming's side, he saw that Scaloni next door had arrived with a player at some point The fourth official there.
And that player was Thomas Armand.
"...He also discovered this problem?"
Arteta was still thinking, but the fourth official had already raised the substitution card, and indeed he replaced Lin Liangming with Amon!
And when the substitution was made, Scaloni seemed to smile at Chelsea's coaching bench, as if to say: Brother, what you saw, I saw too!
"Shit, it really is!" Arteta was so angry that he smiled wryly.
This guy Scaloni is really difficult!
The loophole he found with great difficulty was immediately plugged by him!
"Should we do the same?" Steve Holland asked with concern.
Arteta thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, it's not the time yet."
He didn't believe it, Scaloni could really hold the full 10 minutes?
Thinking of this, Arteta walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to continue to speed up the pace.
Since it is necessary to fight for consumption, of course it is necessary to fight until the opponent collapses.
York City is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Scaloni has always attached great importance to physical fitness. If they want to consume their physical energy, Chelsea really have to go all out!
-
"Fortunately, the boss reminded me, otherwise Arteta would have seized the opportunity."
York City's coaches, Scaloni and De Zerby are chatting.
Obviously, during the intermission, Pan Yi also came to the locker room and gave them his own advice.
One of the most important ones is to stick to the current defensive style of play and not rush to press the troops up.
"In today's final, Chelsea want to win more than us, and the pressure is on their side." Pan Yi said at the time, "We just need to calm down, play according to the established policy before the game, and stay until the end. The victory will belong to the our!"
Obviously, Pan Yi has a clear understanding of the strength comparison between the two sides.
Chelsea are better than York City, and the depth of the bench is not at the same level.
If you start a hand-to-hand battle with Chelsea too early, and finally consume it, it will only be York City who will suffer.
But if the rhythm is stabilized, the defensive formation is established, and physical energy is conserved, it is possible to deal with the Blues until the end.
Pan Yi also reminded that, even so, on the two sides where Chelsea focuses on attacking, especially the side where Hazard and Marcos Alonso are located, York City will be under great pressure.
As a winger who needs to go up and down to attack and defend on this wing, Lin Liangming is the most likely to be consumed in advance.
Therefore, as a coach, you need to always observe the situation of the players on the field. Once they appear to be physically overdrawn, replace them immediately. Don't hesitate!
Obviously, Scaloni took Pan Yi's reminder to heart.
He has been paying attention to this since the start of the second half of the game, and before Lin Liangming's side was attacked heavily by Chelsea, he replaced Amang, replenishing the new force in time and avoiding possible loopholes.
Everyone knows that when a person's body is almost exhausted, he will inevitably slack off, his performance will be greatly reduced, and even technical movements will easily lose shape.
Now, with the exception of Lin Liangming, the other York City players are currently performing fairly well and seem to be able to continue to persevere.
"This game is really a war of attrition. We can see who can stand it at 90 minutes!" Scaloni finally said to De Zerby.
-
The time suddenly entered 10 minutes.
After a wave of fast-paced attacks, Chelsea slowed down again.
Everyone can see that the consumption of both sides is really great.
As it is with York City, so it is with Chelsea.
But the players on both sides are still continuing and persevering.
In comparison, York City on the defensive side has an advantage. After all, their most important thing is to maintain a rigorous overall formation, but Chelsea is different. They need to do more.
It is always easier to destroy than to build, and the same is true in football.
"Judging from the current situation, the two sides are likely to be tied in the final 90 minutes. Chelsea had every advantage in the game, but they were never able to break through York City's defense."
"York City's defense today is really amazing. Being able to keep the goal without losing the goal and keep the defensive formation in such a disadvantaged situation, I have to say that Scaloni is also a master in terms of this coaching ability !"
"But, is he really ready to play overtime? Being able to last for 90 minutes does not mean that he can play for 120 minutes. He really has so much confidence in his players that he can defend for such a long time and can defend at points. Win the ball game?"
"As for Arteta, will he accept a penalty kick against York City? Give the decision of the FA Cup championship to that highly random 12-yard penalty?"
"If he wants to end the fight in 120 minutes, or even 90 minutes, why hasn't he started to make substitution adjustments? Is he really so afraid of York City?"
"This should also be the doubt in the hearts of all fans watching this game all over the world. It has been more than 80 minutes, and it will be too late if you don't change players..."
The live TV footage was shown on the sidelines, and it was found that Chelsea coach Arteta could no longer sit still.
He leaned against the pillar of the coach's bench and watched the game intently, but he still couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
On the other side, Scaloni also did not hide his anxiety and apprehension at all.
The game is getting closer and closer.
Especially after 80 minutes, the mentality of the players began to change subtly, and there were more mistakes on the court.
The more this time, the easier it is to get nervous and lose control.
"It's almost time for us to step up our attack!"
Suddenly, Arteta approached assistant coach Steve Horan and spoke to him.
There was a lot of voices at the scene, and Steve Holland could only reply loudly: "Yes, I think they defended the whole game. I guess their physical fitness should be about the same, and they can charge a little bit!"
Of course Chelsea don't want to play extra time, or a penalty shootout.
Unlike York City, which has finished other competitions this season, Chelsea has a more important Champions League final to play.
If too much is consumed in this game, it will not be conducive to preparations for the Champions League final.
So now their strategy is to take advantage of York City's physical fitness and defensive attention to drop, and rush them in the last 10 minutes!
After all, even if it is a robot, it should smoke after so long!
Arteta thought for a while, nodded and said: "Let them press forward a little, but be careful to protect their backs."
"Substitution?" Steve Holland asked.
Arteta hesitated.
"Lukaku's performance today was very average. He was entangled by the opponent's three central defenders, and there was nothing he could do about them."
Hearing what Steve Holland said, Arteta nodded first, then shook his head: "He can contain the three central defenders of York City, but he still can't move him. It will be terrible to change people in this place. It may not be possible to change people like him." effect."
Steve Horan said nothing, but looked at Arteta, awaiting further instructions from him.
Lukaku can't move, who should be replaced?Harry Kane?
But Harry Kane also connected the midfield very well today. If he is replaced, it should have a considerable impact on the organization of the frontcourt.
At this time, Arteta was thinking, why not change the striker?
To be precise, it is to replace the forward, but replace a defender or midfielder, so that if you can rush York City's defense, you might have a chance?
That damn Scaloni, today's targeted defense is very good, Chelsea's two forwards are frozen, there is nothing to do, but what if there is another one?Just like Mbappe!
With three forwards, plus Hazard and Gnabry, two front midfielders, can York City still hold on?
More importantly, Mbappe's performance has been very vigorous recently. Whether he is holding the ball at his feet or rushing forward, he is a good player.
The only disadvantage is that he is a bit young, prone to aggressive advances, and he is not too active in defense. After he goes up, he may be easily counterattacked by York City on his side.
Arteta was silent for more than a minute, which was a very difficult choice for him.
But in the end, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Change, let Mbappe come up and replace Azpilicueta!"
-
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the fans, Chelsea also made substitution adjustments.
French teenager Mbappe walked to the sidelines and replaced Azpilicueta.
Scaloni on the side laughed: "Sure enough, just as Boss Pan expected, Chelsea will lose composure and fight us to the death! So... we have to change!"
So soon, York City also made an adjustment, but it was not a substitution.
Rice, who used to play as a central defender, returned to the midfielder position again, and Amon, who originally played as a full-back, was also pushed to the front line, and formed a striker partner with Baker again. York City's formation has also become a more common one. 4-4-2.
而对应切尔西这边从3-5-2变成3-4-3，两边很明显都是在进行针锋相对的调整，而且都是往加强进攻方面来调！
And such an adjustment is likely to change the trend of the game.
All the fans at the scene felt it, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
Not only the fans, but even the on-site commentators became excited.
After all, the game has indeed been stalemate for too long.
Tactics are something that not everyone understands or is interested in;
No matter how technical it is, it’s not as fun as entering ten or eight of them!
A commentator who cannot shout "GOOOOOAL" has no soul!
“3-4-3对阵4-4-2，双方都增加了一名前锋，现在就看这最后的10分钟，谁能率先打破对方的球门了！”
-
After Chelsea adjusted their substitutions, their delivery in the midfield became more concise. The basic principle is to quickly pass the ball to the feet or heads of the three forwards in the frontcourt, and then form a shot.
Even in many cases, the Blues will directly drive forward from the backcourt, looking for the top of Lukaku or Harry Kane, or directly in front of Mbappe to let him fight for speed.
This is the advantage of the three forwards. There are more people in the front field, and the probability of grabbing the ball is also high. As long as they grab the ball, the three forwards can cooperate with each other, or wait for the midfielder to come in. of.
But Scaloni quickly realized the problem and signaled the frontcourt players to step up the counter-attack and interfere with Chelsea's long pass.
The two central defenders of York City also firmly locked the air supremacy. As soon as the ball arrived, they immediately seized the first landing point, directly pushed the ball back to the midfield, and then took this opportunity to quickly instigate a counterattack.
When counterattacking, it mainly relies on the pass scheduling of veteran Harvey Alonso.
Since he has decided to officially retire after this season and then enter the York City coaching staff, this will be his last official game on behalf of York City, and it will also be the last game of his career!
In such a game of personal significance, Alonso also played at a high level. He did not lose the slightest in the midfield confrontation with Chelsea, and he was often able to threaten Chelsea's defense with the ball. The forwards create chances.
In the 85th minute, Alonso passed the ball to the left side of the frontcourt. Aman took the ball and knocked it back to Karlstrom.
After the Swedish veteran got the ball, he chose to slant into the penalty area on the left rib and successfully broke through Chelsea's defense, but Terry, who was chased back, tripped and fell to the ground while fighting close to the outside. Terry also received a yellow card for this.
But this time, after the free kick was penalized into the penalty area, Martinez abandoned the goal and took the ball away from mid-air.
Of course, Chelsea has more opportunities to attack, like Mbappe, Hazard and Gnabry have several opportunities to get the ball, but they have never been able to form a real threat.
York City has too many defensive players in the hinterland. No matter where Chelsea's offensive players go, there will always be at least two defensive players flanking them.
Even though Chelsea had three forwards shooting three arrows at once, York City still coped well and kept their defense very tight.
After a whole season of training and games, the players in York City are getting better and better, and De Ligt and Westermann, the old and new central defenders, are also getting closer and closer. Spectrum.
Especially De Ligt, after a year of training in the professional league, he is obviously much more stable than before - as long as he doesn't take action.
On the sidelines, Scaloni also stood on the sidelines, constantly signaling the team to stay steady and calm down.
Even in the last few minutes, you must keep your mind calm!
And Arteta didn't know when he started standing on the sidelines and didn't sit back. Obviously he couldn't sit still anymore.
The [-] fans in the audience, whether they are from Chelsea or York City, are cheering for the team.
It's the last few minutes, and they all hope that the team can make persistent efforts, work harder, and strive for a goal! ——
Time is flowing bit by bit.
When the game lasted to 89 minutes, everyone was almost certain that the game would end 90-[-] within [-] minutes, and it was about to enter overtime!
The fourth official on the sidelines also issued a sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time.
This is mainly because there were not too many fouls or delays in the second half, and the game went on fairly smoothly.
Even the fans in the stands have already begun to stir, taking advantage of this short break to go to the toilet, or eat some hamburgers to replenish some energy and so on.
But at this moment, York City suddenly exerted its strength.
It was originally an attack by Chelsea. They launched an attack from the right. After taking the ball, Harry Kane continuously changed direction and rhythm. After deceiving Alphonso Davies' defense, he tried to pass the ball across. Find Lukaku.
But Lukaku was restrained by De Ligt and failed to stop the ball. Westerman directly stepped forward to clear the ball.
Lukaku's performance was also greatly reduced tonight under the intensive care of De Ligt, and he completely lost his style of killing everyone in the Premier League.
The ball flew over the center line and fell directly towards the front of Chelsea's penalty area, which is the area where Baker is located.
But David Luiz went around to defend, headed the ball directly, and then headed the ball back to the midfield.
At this time, the midfield was controlled by York City, and their four midfielders suddenly pressed up, forming a numerical advantage in a short period of time.
After Rice grabbed the ball, he handed the ball directly to Alonso.
Alonso stopped with his right foot, glanced ahead, and then quickly sent a long overhead pass.
The ball flew over the heads of Terry and David Luiz, crossed Chelsea's defense, and fell to the front of Chelsea's big penalty area.
And Amon, who had been cruising around Chelsea's defense line, suddenly changed direction at this time and went straight into the penalty area at the fastest speed.
The speed advantage of the Cameroon striker was brought into full play at this moment.
There is a speed called Thomas Armand!
In the stands, when Pan Yi saw that Amon was unguarded, he stood up excitedly.
Seeing Alonso send an overhead pass, he knew he had a chance.
This is the opportunity Yorktown has been waiting for all game!
At the same time, this is also the opportunity that Pan Yi has been telling Scaloni to wait patiently!
When Amon was replaced, he was just waiting for this moment. At the last moment of the game, he suddenly accelerated and gave Chelsea a fatal blow!
On the court, although Ake immediately turned around and started sprinting, chasing the ball, Amon was obviously faster.
After he took the first step to catch up with the ball, he grabbed the ball before Martinez who attacked.
The ball was directly picked up by Amon over Martinez's head, and fell towards the goal behind him, and then both of them couldn't stop their charge and bumped into each other.
Baker on the other side had already outflanked him. He rushed into Chelsea's penalty area and caught up with Amon's pass-like ball. When it bounced off the ground, it was near the small penalty area line. , sending it into the goal within easy reach.
"The ball is in!!!!!!!!!"
"York City scores a goal!!!!"
"Oh my god, it was York City who scored the goal!!! It's still their top scorer Baker!"
After Baker scored, he roared ferociously, turned around and rushed out of the stadium, calling Amon and his teammates along the way.
All the York City fans in the audience immediately "boomed", like a bomb was thrown at Wembley Stadium, and the decibels increased several times.
When Pan Yi picked the ball and passed Martinez, he couldn't stop himself and jumped up.
When he saw Baker's shot again, he cheered even more forgetfully.
"Well done! Well done lads!!!"
No wonder Pan Yi was so excited.
It is not easy to keep the door in front of the Chelsea that I have carefully built, and it is even more difficult to score a goal for Chelsea!
A full nine and 10 minutes!
Chelsea attacked for nine and 10 minutes!
But York City just kept it, and even scored a goal at the last moment!
And this is the best result obtained by Pan Yi and Scaloni after a long period of "planning"!
"God, at the last moment of the game, York City suddenly launched a counterattack. With the assist of Amon, who came off the bench, Baker scored the winning goal for Chelsea!"
"One to zero!"
"Tonight's game is really a peak duel. Both sides have played at a very high level and tactical quality, and Chelsea has the advantage on the field."
"But in the end, York City used a crucial goal to take the lead [-]-[-]! It can be said that this is football!"
All the York City bench players and coaches also rushed to the sidelines, celebrating wildly.
Scaloni clenched his fists, and let out a loud cry.
This is the most fascinating part of football!
It can be beaten for nine to 10 minutes, but once the opportunity comes, it will achieve a reversal!
After celebrating, Scaloni turned around and hugged the members of the coaching staff one by one, and then waved to the rostrum of the stands.
Obviously, he was thanking Pan Yi for his help.
To be honest, if Pan Yi hadn't been encouraging him and keeping him patient, he really didn't know if he could make it to the end.
After all, the atmosphere of such a final is suffocating, and Scaloni is likely to be the first to make adjustments when he sees his own situation is unfavorable.
But if we strangle and attack against Chelsea too early, whether we can gain control is another matter. The physical consumption alone may make York City unable to persist until the end.
And if Chelsea scored a goal earlier, then the last lore is not a "lore" in the true sense.
At this time, Scaloni saw that Pan Yi was also smiling and waving at him, and gave him a thumbs up.
This is recognition from the boss, and even more recognition from the master!
