Chapter 091: Altafini's Record
Updated: 2012-08-29
During the intermission, Fernandez first reviewed himself.
"I admit, I was too careful and a little scared of Chelsea. So our tactics in the first half were too conservative," Fernandez said.
The people below raised their heads in surprise and looked at the head coach. Few head coaches would publicly admit their mistakes to their disciples like this, let alone say something like "I'm afraid of Chelsea."
"In the second half of the game, we have to change our tactics. The score is one-to-two now. Although this score is acceptable, if we want to keep this score, the result of this game will definitely be even worse."
Everyone, including Zhang Yang, nodded. They could understand the coach's meaning. In fact, this is true. If the requirements and goals were placed too low at the beginning, the final result would often be even more unsatisfactory.
"In the second half, Morientes came on." Fernandez said, "Jacioy was off."
Morientes nodded, and the Spanish veteran's eyes could not hide his eagerness to try. The Champions League game is his pursuit!
Yashioi was a little disappointed. He was able to start in the Champions League quarterfinals. He was so happy that he didn't sleep well for two nights. He was replaced just after the live half-time game, which was a big blow to the young man. However, in the first half, Yashioi's performance was indeed very average, even a little bad. Faced with Chelsea's toughness in the midfield, Yashioi hardly played the role he should have, and he did not play the pass he was good at. Obviously, this young man was too nervous and could not adapt to such a big scene for the time being. Fernandez's vision was as sharp as he could see that his biggest weakness in the midfield was replaced, replaced with a forward, and shared Zhang Yang's offensive pressure.

On the other side, Mourinho was giving a speech to the team, and the "Magic Birds" first praised the team in the first half of the game. Then, he focused on explaining that Marklele and Terry should pay attention to strengthening Zhang Yang's defense in the second half.
"I don't want to see the kid's goal celebration again," Mourinho said. "You should also understand how serious it is to be scored by the opponent at home. I don't want to blame anyone for the conceding of the goal in the first half, but in the second half, I don't want to see conceding the goal again."
Then, Mourinho said, "In the second half, the Marseille team will probably replace a forward to strengthen the offense, so you should pay special attention to defense at the beginning of the second half, and seize possible counterattack opportunities and score early. Is there any problem?"
No one answered. Everyone looked at Mourinho, but the expression on his face was enough to say everything.
"Very good, remember, you are champion players. The champion players I mean not only the Premier League, but also the European arena, our goal is also the champion! You have such ability, but you lack some luck in the past. Now, opportunities and honors are at your feet. Come on, boys."
Mourinho's voice was very low and he didn't yell, but it felt extraordinary in the ears of Chelsea players. It seemed that with magic, everyone felt a fire in their hearts, and they wanted to fight, fight and win the crown.

At the beginning of the second half, Marseille made a substitution, midfielder Yacioi was replaced, and Spanish scorer Morientes came on as a substitute.
Seeing Morientes replace the young French midfielder, Mourinho smiled, and everything was as he predicted.
The second half has already begun for ten minutes.
Just now, Zhang Yang had a conflict with Essin, who was defending him. The two of them glared at each other. If they hadn't been a little worried and afraid of taking cards, they would have had a fight long ago.
Zhang Yang had already carved two yellow cards in the previous game. If he took another card, he would automatically suspend the game for one round and miss the next round of the game with Chelsea. Therefore, he has been very careful in today's game and pays great attention to controlling his temper.
Essin received a yellow card in the first half because of a foul on Ribery, so he was also restraining his temper. He didn't want to be sent off with two yellows and one red, otherwise Mourinho would tear him.
"In the French Ligue 1 last season, Zhang Yang and Essin had a conflict. These two people are the kind of people who fight desperately for the game. They won't be able to kill them when they get excited," said He Wei. "However, Zhang Yang must be careful. If he gets a yellow card, he will be absent in the next round of Chelsea at the Verrodham Stadium. This will be the biggest blow to Marseille."
The referee only verbally warned Essin and Zhang Yang to calm down the two guys who were so excited that they were calm and did not show a yellow card.
※※※※※※※※※※
The referee let Zhang Yang go, but Chelsea fans refused to obey, and the booing never stopped. As long as Zhang Yang takes the ball, it will be... the booing is shocking.
On the one hand, this is because of the conflict between Zhang Yang and Essim just now, and Zhang Yang scored the goal in the first half. Chelsea fans personally felt Zhang Yang's horror and knew that this was the most threatening player of the Marseille team. They obviously hoped to use this method to influence Zhang Yang and make the young man perform abnormally.
However, to their disappointment, Zhang Yang obviously had long been used to being booed by all the fans of the opponent's team. Not to mention the European stadium, even in the Ligue 1, there are several devil stadiums, such as the Gerland Stadium of Lyon and the Princes Stadium of Paris Saint-Germain. Moreover, both teams and Zhang Yang have old grudges. When visiting these two stadiums, Zhang Yang received booing and scolding, but he was not inferior to Stamford Bridge Stadium today.
Zhang Yang has already practiced it.
Moreover, this guy has a crazy personality. The more his opponent's fans booed him, the more excited he was. The battle skyrocketed by 300 percentage points, which could be said to be a high-spirited fight.
His favorite thing is to score a goal when his opponent fans booed him. At that time, when he looked at his opponent fans furiously, he felt a great sense of accomplishment, and he felt comfortable, as if even his pores were bubbled.

"God bless Marseille!" Hiltney sat in his seat, murmured and prayed in the huge booing of Stamford Bridge.
Fernandez glanced at his assistant, took two steps on the sidelines, and sat back on the coach's seat. Some people said that the head coach is the most comfortable profession on the planet. As long as the arrangement is well made and the players can play, they said that the team's performance is mainly determined by the ability of the stars and has little to do with the head coach. This is simply nonsense. The pressure on the head coach is even greater than that of the players on the court, and it can be listed as a high-risk industry on this planet second only to the front-line soldiers. It is worrying if the head coach has so many bald and white-headed men.
The booing and roaring from Chelsea fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge almost covered up all other voices. They were angry because after the start of the second half, Marseille had once occupied the initiative on the court and was once pressing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This made Chelsea fans very angry. After these two seasons, Chelsea dominated the Premier League, which also made Chelsea fans become more confident. They began to feel that their team is already the top European giants. In fact, this is what they think. What is Marseille? A second-rate team that is showing off its might in Ligue 1, and actually dares to be arrogant at Stamford Bridge? Destroy it!
Playing on the court was booming, and Chinese commentator He Wei was enthusiastically spreading popular science knowledge to Chinese fans in front of the TV and missing history.
"Here, we want to introduce to you a legendary superstar, AC Milan legendary superstar Altafini, because he resembles the greatest star in the history of the Turin team Valentino Mazzola, Altafini is called "Brazil's Mazzola". Altafini came to Milan just as he turned 20, but his greatest honor was to win the 1958 World Cup championship in the Swedish World Cup with the Brazilian national team. As an extraordinary striker, Altafini quickly brought Milan the league championship in the 1958-59 season and in 32 games.
He scored 28 goals in the game. He won the league championship in 1961-62, thus allowing AC Milan to qualify for the 1963 Champions League and win the championship, becoming the first Italian team in history to win the European Cup. In the famous final at Wembley, facing Benfica of Eusepio, Altafini became the absolute protagonist, and his two goals allowed Milan to win 2-1. In 1965, he left AC Milan and went to another Italian team, Naples."
"What we want to mention today is the famous Champions League final at Wembley Stadium. On May 22, 1963, AC Milan defeated Benfica 2-1 and won the Champions League championship. That game was the ultimate PK between Benfica's Eusibio and AC Milan's Altafini. Benfica scored the goal from Eusibio in the game to the 18th minute; and AC Milan scored twice in just eight minutes in the 58th minute and 66th minute, staged a reversal show, defeated Benfica and won the Champions League championship. AC Milan's legendary shooter, the Brazilian center Altafini, together with the two goals he scored in the final, he was there.
He has scored 14 goals in the European Champions League. Such an excellent goal score not only won the European Champions League for AC Milan, but also became the player with the most goals in the history of the European Champions League with these 14 goals. Until today, no player can break this record." He Wei said loudly, "Now, Zhang Yang has scored a goal in the first half of today's match against Chelsea. His goal number in the Champions League has reached 11! It is still three goals short of Altafini's goal record set and maintained forty-four years! Zhang Yang, can this Chinese player tie or even break Altafini's record?" He shouted excitedly.
Maybe it was because he realized that he was too excited and calmed down. He Wei continued, "We look forward to Zhang Yang creating miracles, but we must also realize that in the situation of Zhang Yang and Marseille, the overall strength of Marseille team is weaker than that of Chelsea. It is already a good result for them to reach the top 16. Even if Marseille stops to the top 16, we should give this team a round of applause. Even if Zhang Yang's goal number cannot continue to increase, we are proud of him. We can also see that Altafini's fourteen goals are a great achievement after reaching the finals. Zhang Yang is only in the eighth finals now. Of course, in the 1960s, there were not so many teams participating in the Champions League, and the competition is less than now."
