Chapter 305 Mourinho’s dream waist!
“Lin Feng can’t just focus on defense, you have to attack!”

“The National Olympic Team has been playing too passively recently. If they don’t attack, they will be suppressed by the opponent all the time, and they will definitely lose the ball!”

“I think we should just kick the ball to the striker. Lin Feng is fast, so we can find a deserted place and pass the ball to him. Let him compete with the opponent’s defender in speed, and maybe he will have a chance to score a goal!”

“Isn’t Gao Lin on the field? Let him go for the header and pass the ball to Lin Feng. This will be more effective!”

“In my opinion, we still have to attack from the wing. The opponent is Chelsea, not those scumbags in our country. You are just thinking too much if you expect to win the prize by kicking your feet!”

Seeing that the National Olympic Team was in an extremely difficult situation, the fans could no longer sit still and began to offer suggestions.

But almost none of the methods mentioned by everyone can be used, and they are all unreliable suggestions.

Compared with them, CCTV commentators are still much more professional.

“Chelsea’s attack has been very fierce recently. The National Olympic Team must survive this wave of attacks from the opponent. If they increase their offensive strength at this time, they may be dragged into a chaotic battle by the opponent. For the National Olympic Team, which has not yet adapted to the opponent’s game rhythm, once a chaotic battle breaks out, the defense will completely collapse!”

“Yes, so we see that even an offensive player like Lin Feng is actively defending during this period.”

More than a decade later, Enrique said to Mbappé: “You think that a phenomenal player like you only needs to score goals, but for me that’s not enough.

A true leader should help the team with defense when you can’t help the team with goals! “

Lin Feng was putting Enrique’s words into practice at this time. When he found that he could not help the team through offense, he immediately changed his strategy and began to use his defensive ability to help relieve the pressure on his teammates.

This approach may make some fans who want to see him devote more energy to offense feel unhappy, but it makes the two coaches on the sidelines nod frequently.

Krauchen was very happy with Lin Feng’s choice. Although he was not as extreme as Enrique, he only emphasized teamwork and could not tolerate any personal heroism.

But seeing that Lin Feng was willing to humble himself and take the initiative to do this dirty and tiring work, he was still very pleased in his heart, because this was a manifestation of the responsibility and commitment of a qualified team leader.

Perhaps he no longer needs to think about the candidate for captain of the National Olympic Team, as he has already found the most suitable person!

Mourinho also praised Lin Feng’s choice. Like Enrique, he is also a coach who places great emphasis on teamwork.

Mourinho has almost no real attacking midfielders under his command. Compared to attacking midfielders who are completely inclined towards offense, he prefers central midfielders who have strong defensive capabilities and can provide help to the team on both offense and defense!

Lin Feng’s personal ability is simply beyond his aesthetic taste!

He is tall and has strong confrontation ability; he has excellent mental attributes, strong fighting spirit, and is very fast. He can act as a spearhead for counterattack and tear open the opponent’s defense!
Moreover, Lin Feng has strong offensive capabilities, which is not only reflected in his ability to score points, but also in his ability to make various superb passes to assist his teammates in scoring goals.

Such a top attacking midfielder is actually good at defense, and the type that actively participates in defense!

Mourinho really liked Lin Feng more and more the more he watched him, and he wanted to sign him on the spot!

It’s a pity that such a player does not belong to Chelsea, but to Inter Milan!

For a moment, Mourinho even had the urge to coach Inter Milan!

According to Mendes, Inter Milan’s owner Moratti contacted him last year and hoped that he would coach there.

At that time, Mourinho was very happy staying at Chelsea. Having successfully defended the Premier League title, he was preparing to challenge for the Champions League honor with great satisfaction. He did not consider Inter Milan’s invitation at all.

But after unpleasant experiences with the owner and club management last summer and the first half of the season, Mourinho changed his mind.

Originally, he really planned to coach Chelsea until 2010, but now, Mourinho feels that his breakup with Chelsea is not far away!

“Let’s try again this summer. If Abramovich can bring me Lin Feng and some other players I like in other positions, maybe I can try to save the relationship!”

After all, Chelsea is the first team he coached in the top five leagues after leaving Porto. In the past two seasons, he and Abramovich have had a very pleasant cooperation. With the two working together, Chelsea has won numerous honors.

But to turn Chelsea into a top club, we still lack a Champions League trophy!
Without this big-ear cup, Chelsea might just be a nouveau riche in the eyes of many people. They need a lot of league trophies to shut up the gossips!
But as long as they can overcome all obstacles and win the Champions League once, Chelsea’s status as a top club will be confirmed and no one will be able to question them anymore!
This is Mourinho’s obsession and the long-cherished wish of countless Chelsea fans!

……

Lin Feng has a large range of activities. He is supposed to be active in the midfield and frontcourt, but sometimes he even chases back to his own penalty area to complete defense.

In the 15th minute of the first half, when Robben once again broke through the wing and was about to shoot after cutting inside, Lin Feng seized the opportunity, rushed up from the side, and with a decisive tackle, knocked down both the ball and the man!

Robben didn’t notice at all that Lin Feng had caught up with him, because when he took the ball and broke through, Lin Feng was still behind him!

Unexpectedly, the other party was so fast that he actually caught up with him!
Robben was caught off guard and fell flat on his face, but it was a very clean tackle.

Lin Feng touched the ball first and then tripped the person, but he didn’t kick him, and the referee didn’t blow the whistle to indicate a foul, so Robben could only swallow his anger.

There was a burst of boos from the stands. Chelsea fans seemed to think it was a foul and were putting pressure on the referee with boos!
But the players and fans of the National Olympic Team were all cheering for Lin Feng’s clean tackle!
“Lin Feng’s tackle was great. Robben has been playing too recklessly recently. If we don’t suppress him, he will only get worse!”

“Yes, as the most famous player of the National Olympic Team, Lin Feng’s tackle can greatly boost the morale of the team, which is what the National Olympic Team needs very much at the moment!”

“This actually provides us with a countermeasure. Since we can’t defend Robben head-on, we can ask more teammates to help defend from the side. If we really can’t defend him, we can make tackles or even commit fouls. In short, we can’t let Robben find his form. Once he is in form, it will be too difficult to limit him!” There is a sentence that commentators are not easy to say, but fans can figure it out for themselves:

For Chelsea, this was just an insignificant friendly match.

If I get injured in such a situation and it affects my appearances in the league and the Champions League, it would be completely counterproductive.

Therefore, a tackle like this can greatly intimidate the opponent’s key players and prevent them from acting recklessly!
This method has long been used by British teams from various lower-level leagues in the FA Cup and League Cup!
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. My players are a group of ordinary players who are unknown, while your players are all big-name stars.

Our team is weak and we may be eliminated after this round, but you are different. You still have the next round, and you still have league and even Champions League games to compete in.

Therefore, when the weak team and the giant team engage in a one-on-one exchange, the weak team makes a lot of money while the giant team loses a lot!
This is why strong teams often lose unexpectedly in the League Cup and FA Cup.

It’s not that we can’t beat the opponent, but the cost of winning is too high, and sometimes it’s not worth it, so we strategically give up these cup competitions!
Of course, some teams are really bad and were simply upset by weaker teams…

Krauch didn’t care what the Chelsea fans in the stands thought. After seeing Lin Feng’s tackle, he stood up and applauded Lin Feng.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines very unhappy. Although he also appreciated Lin Feng’s tackle just now, after all, the one who was violated was his own disciple, so he certainly could not openly cheer for the other party. On the contrary, he had to use his status as a coach to put pressure on the referee team to blow the whistle tighter, preferably to make amends for Chelsea!
Seeing Mourinho venting his dissatisfaction on the sidelines, the Chelsea players on the field became nervous:

It’s over. Could it be that the boss is dissatisfied with our performance?

Mourinho has always ruled his team with an iron fist, and he pursues absolute control over the locker room.

Therefore, if someone’s performance makes him unhappy, then this player will be in trouble!
The Chelsea players, feeling Mourinho’s anger, immediately retaliated against the National Olympic Team!

In the 18th minute, the National Olympic Team finally found an opportunity to counterattack. After the ball changed hands repeatedly between the two sides, it was finally passed to Lin Feng’s feet.

After Lin Feng received the ball on the wing and had just passed the first defender, he was knocked down by Chelsea’s midfielder Mikel before he could even sprint!

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle immediately and showed Mikel a yellow card.

If Lin Feng’s previous tackle was clean and without any foul, then Mikel’s tackle made people doubt whether he committed a foul on purpose!
Mikel really did it on purpose. In fact, he had wanted to tackle Lin Feng for a long time, not just now, he had wanted to do so during the World Youth Championship!

Mikel has fantasized more than once, what would have been the final result if he had not underestimated his opponents at the World Youth Championship and had used all his strength to deal with the Chinese team?
Given the strength of the Nigerian team at the time, they definitely had a greater chance of winning, and maybe they would be the final champion of the World Youth Championship!

If they had won the championship back then, I would probably have switched positions with Lin Feng now!
Because he was not important enough, he was forced to change his position and play as a defensive midfielder after joining Chelsea.

However, Lin Feng still plays his usual attacking midfielder role in Inter Milan, and becomes famous in the football world, becoming a leader among the younger generation, which makes Mikel very jealous!
“What are you doing, idiot?”

Mikel, who was given a card for a foul, thought he had faithfully followed the coach’s tactics, but he didn’t expect Mourinho’s face to become even uglier!

In Mourinho’s view, there was no need to commit a foul in this defense, let alone get a card!

In that position just now, Mikel only needed to cooperate with his teammates to block Lin Feng’s dribbling space and make the National Olympic Team’s counterattack disappear into thin air.

But he didn’t wait for his teammates to get in position, but rushed forward and acted recklessly!

Not only was it a foul but he also got a card. The most infuriating thing was that he gave the other team a free kick opportunity!
You know, Lin Feng’s free kick is very telling. The opponent had no way to deal with Chelsea’s defense in the positional battle. If they really scored a goal from a set piece in the end, it would be really unfair to Chelsea!

A defensive midfielder should always keep a clear head, assess the situation and make the most reasonable choice according to each situation.

But this guy Mikel seems to play football without any brains, and his choices make people blinded!
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, Mikel’s action of knocking down Lin Feng also made Mourinho a little worried:

This is the player I have always dreamed of. If you kick him and injure him, how can I rely on him to make Chelsea great again?
Mikel’s intention to foul was too obvious. Lin Feng had noticed the opponent’s actions long ago, so he made a self-protection move when he fouled, which greatly reduced the damage he suffered.

So after falling to the ground, he did not lie down, but patted his butt and stood up quickly.

This made Krauchen in the National Olympic Team coaching booth feel relieved, as he was really scared just now.

Lin Feng is so important to this National Olympic team, we really can’t afford to hurt him!
If he gets injured, the National Olympic Team’s 100% combat effectiveness will probably be reduced by at least 50% or even more.

On the court, Lin Feng is not only the battering ram of the National Olympic Team, but also the backbone of the players.

The players on the field are in completely different states with and without him.

Fortunately, he was fine, but this foul reminded Clausen to protect Lin Feng.

From now on, we should pay more attention to Lin Feng’s physical condition and injuries. Whether he is injured in the club or the national team, we need to pay special attention to him.

The closer it is to the Olympics, the more important this point should be. He doesn’t want to prepare wholeheartedly for more than a year, only to have it ruined by an injury to a core player of the team!
In fact, facing this kind of risk, the best way is to find a substitute for Lin Feng. However, in the current environment of Chinese football, it is too difficult to find a suitable substitute for Lin Feng!
There is no other way but to see if we can choose one from Zhou Haibin, Hao Junmin, Wang Yongpo and others to use. I heard that Guoan has a young player named Huang Bowen who is pretty good. We may have a chance to go to the Workers’ Stadium to see how he plays.

If he really has the ability, bring him along to the next training camp and see the results!

Although promoting these players cannot completely replace Lin Feng’s role, it can at least reduce Lin Feng’s playing time and reduce his risk of injury.

Good steel should be used on the blade. It would be better for Lin Feng to maintain his condition until the Olympics and then explode!
