Chapter 857 Chelsea's tradition and status quo

"Sarri doesn't actually have the experience of coaching top teams. Although he has coached many teams along the way, those teams are basically grassroots and the players are more obedient, so he doesn't need to spend a lot of energy managing the locker room. The same is true for Naples. Radona's glory has passed for many years, they are equivalent to a new head coach, the boss supports him, and he will have no problems in the locker room." Kiya said to Benelli.

"Chelsea is different," Benelli said thoughtfully.

"It's really different." Ji Ya laughed haha.

Although Chelsea is considered to be an upstart, but before Abramovich took over, Chelsea has become stronger under the leadership of Bates, and after these years of accumulation, they are also a standard giant, so the rich should have the same things as them Not a lot...

Such as internal complex environment and contradictions.

The interior of Chelsea is also chaotic. The owner Abramovich has not been in charge of things recently. However, the management is also full of hills. The players do not have much affection for each other. Sarri, an outsider, did not bring any old department , also brought a Jorginho. Under such circumstances, it is not so easy for him to stabilize the locker room.

"Chelsea has a lot of good players, but Sarri's style is different from Conte's, and they have to adapt." Ji Ya said to Benelli with a smile.

Although Chelsea started off very well, with five wins and two draws in seven games, which is much higher than Southampton, but Ji Ya knows that their results are actually a bit watery. Giroud, Kanter and Hazard played seven games in the World Cup, and the others did not consume much. Secondly, Sarri's tactics themselves are relatively aggressive. It took a lot of advantages, but after the opponents adapted, it would be difficult for them to perform so well.

In fact, Sarri's tactics are completely different from what Chelsea are used to, so after the end of this season, although Sarri led the team's performance is not bad, but because most of the fans opposed him, he still dismissed get out of class...

Sarri is accustomed to using offensive tactics, but Chelsea's tradition is to defend and counterattack. This is not brought by Mourinho. In the few years after the establishment of the Premier League, after Chelsea introduced a large number of Italian players, this tradition has been established. Get up, since then, the Italian coach and the coach who is good at defense have become Chelsea's lingering mark.

The Italian Vialli coached them for more than 100 games, and then after a transition coach, the Italian Ranieri coached them for [-] games.

Next is the era of Mourinho. Although Grant, Scolari and others after Mourinho have not coached for a long time, they are also good at defensive tactics, especially Scolari. Brazilian, but he is an alternative defensive coach among Brazilian coaches.

Ancelotti, who coached more than [-] games next, is another Italian.

Di Matteo, the Italian who helped Chelsea win the only Champions League title.

Benitez... This is not Italian, but this is a head coach who is more defensive than Mourinho.

After Mourinho entered the palace for the second time, it was Conte, who was still an Italian.

So in the final analysis, Italians and defensive tactics are already an unshakable tradition for Chelsea.

Although Sarri is an Italian, he plays offensive tactics.

He replaced Conte's three-four-three with his four-three-three, which seemed to be the same, but in fact the tactics were far worse.

"Since Sarri thinks he is good at training the offensive team, let him see what a real offense is." Kiya said to Benelli.

He said the same to the Southampton players.

The Southampton players who just defeated Real Madrid have recovered their state and morale. Although they are still a bit short of running-in, they can already show their best state.

This is actually a test for Southampton. How to win against such an opponent is of great benefit to their mentality.

No matter how chaotic Chelsea is, the fighting spirit and tenacity of their players cannot be easily compared to other teams.

So Chelsea like this is indeed a good opponent.

The Saints Stadium was once again full of seats. Two consecutive home games are actually a good thing for Southampton. Their players don't need to be tired from the journey, so even if they play consecutive games, it is not a big problem.

The schedule has become more and more important to modern football. Even the best team, if they travel continuously away from home, it will be difficult to perform well. Many fans may not feel this, but in fact, people who travel frequently know that , Even if you travel by car or plane from one city to another, it is easy to get physically and mentally exhausted.

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from both sides played.

Southampton continue to send their entire main lineup, with only a little fine-tuning, goalkeeper Mendy, defender Cancelo, Maguire, Rudiger, Chilwell, midfielder De Bruyne, Rodri , Sancho, Grealish, forwards Du Yue, Alvarez.

The fine-tuning of the three positions, Sancho replaced Valverde, Rudiger replaced De Ligt, and Alvarez replaced Vardy.

This kind of fine-tuning is common and has little impact on Southampton.

Chelsea continued to send out their customary four-three-three. The goalkeeper was sky-high goalkeeper Kepa, the two full-backs were Azpilicueta and Alonso, and the central defenders were partnered by Christensen and Luis. Ginho, Kante, Barkley, strikers Hazard, Giroud, William.

"We have so many old generals." Ji Ya sighed.

Indeed, Alonso, Kanter, Giroud, and William have played for Southampton...

But what he said is obviously cheap and good. After all, he dug Lukaku and De Bruyne from Chelsea. Lukaku helped him cash out more than 7000 million. De Bruyne is the captain of Southampton until now. .

Players come and go, no surprise.

Kiya didn't say much when shaking hands with Sarri. He didn't meet Naples very much in the first three seasons, and he didn't have much dealings with Sarri, but Sarri obviously didn't talk much-if he would distract himself. , It is also impossible to change from a pure amateur coach to the current top professional coach.

Such a person must be very patient, but his eloquence is not necessarily so good.

After shaking hands, Ji Ya returned to his seat, waiting for the start of the match.
