bababoom 4,478 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Nah, his Inter and Real teams are known for their high pressing qualities. High press is just a facet of any philosophy, you could be a high pressing counter attacking team or a high pressing possession based one. There are variations.When Jose was at the club first time around i cant recall us pressing high up the pitch, we just went into a defensive shape. I agree at Inter and Real they definitely pressed high. Dortmund don't play 'high pressing possession based' football, they play counter attack. They never dominate a match with possession (well against the big teams), The main difference is that once they get the ball, they have so many men running forward in support. Also some of their passing moves are out of this world. Good video showing some of their best plays, ps sorry about the music.

Popular Post! kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 29, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted January 29, 2014 Matic: "My first objective when I get the ball is to play forward"'I think we played a good game, I played my first 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge so of course I'm very happy about that, but the most important thing was to win the game,' he tells the official Chelsea website.'I tried to do my best and my team-mates helped me a lot during the match, but I felt very comfortable on the pitch so I was pleased.'This already feels like home to me. I know most of the players here so maybe that's helped me, and I feel confident because the manager showed his faith in me by playing me for the full game against Stoke.'Matic, whose main responsibilities are to help break up opposition attacks and ensure possession is won back as soon as it's been surrendered, produced a couple of passes in the final third during Sunday's match which suggesthe could also have a positive impact higher up the pitch.'I always try to push the team forward,' he says. 'If I have to pass backwards of course I'll do that but, for me, the first objective when I get the ball is to play forward.'With my former coach [Jorge Jesus], and now Mourinho, they have both asked me to try to play good football and to not be scared when I have possession, so I want to use their advice.'Defensive midfielders are very important in terms of providing balance. You always need to be positioned in between the defence and attack.Also, if a team like to play on the counter it's a role where you have to get on the ball early and help the team break.'

Popular Post! kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 29, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted January 29, 2014 Away from the field of play, Matic is graduallyfinding his feet back in the capital, with oneteam-mate in particular playing a pivotal role in enabling him to settle.'I like playing in derbies,' says the Serbian. 'For me, playing against a local rival is a big motivation to win and I'm really looking forward to the game.'The Premier League is very fast and has some of the best players in the world so you have to be focused and concentrate for 90 minutes if you are to be successful.' 'It's a nice city. During my first spell here I was alone but this time I have my wife with me and my son, who is three,' he explains. 'My wife is pregnant at the moment so in three months' time we will have another baby, a girl.'Branislav Ivanovic is a top man and his family are good people. When I first arrived he opened the doors of his house to me so I'm very grateful.I really like him and it's very important to have somebody that can help you when you need something.'We live about 15 minutes away from each other, my wife and his wife are good friends so I'm very happy about that as it's a big help for her.'http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3643552/title/matic-big-motivation bababoom, Kieran., Sheva. and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shows us what we're missing to become a beast of a team. Fullbacks pushing up, Striker being able to hold up the ball in tight spaces and linkup play well and a DLP to spray those passes. Imo we're 3 key signings away from becoming an unstoppable team.

Personally I think Mourinho is going for a hybrid Dortmund/Madrid style for us. Should be exciting times. bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Bvb is realy average this year, results wise. Such a downgrade from last year imo. I guess due to injuries and Gotze departure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Götze leaving was huge. I wish he hadn't left. They're my Bundesliga team ,I was heartbroken to see him leave. Blaszczykowski done for season. Subotic, Gundogan, etc. Have missed extended time. It sucks. Oh and fuck Lewandowski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Wait, so on a Matic thread, we are talking about Dortmund?Thought their would whispers about him not starting, which clearly shows that Jose wants him fully fit for the Citeh game, not some German team.

Excalibur KTBFFH 109 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I was surprised not to see him start against West Ham. We need him to be adapting to his teammates in anticipation of games like City away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess due to injuries and Gotze departure...I think it is more because of injury more than Gotze, at one time they lost their whole back line, it is just crazy.The also lost kuba and gundogan. If you have thin squad like dortmund losing that many players will weaken your team.Imagine if we lose iva,terry,cahiil.azpiand we have to playbertrand luiz mikel cole Ainsley Harriott and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Where are the people who were claiming he wasn't needed and Yaya was a better defender? Bargain of the fucking century, £19m is nothing.In terms of pure talent he's easily the best DM in the World. He can do it all.
