Stamford Bridge to Red Cliff: Sanmou Decodes the Winning Formula of the Blue Army Dynasty

When Chelsea completed the grand achievement of the Grand Slam in European competitions, a wonderful association quietly emerged in the long river of time and space. It seems that across a thousand years, a military strategist at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent a barrage on the public screen of "Three Kingdoms: Planting the World": "Isn't this the ten-sided ambush in the art of war?" After careful examination, from the miracle breakout in the Champions League to the glory of the Europa League, the Blues' battle process actually has an amazing fit with the advanced tactics in the game.

On the field, the Blues first consumed their opponents with stable defense, just like the persistence of the Qingnang Doctor in the game, protecting their own defense line; then, like the thunderous attack of the town army profession, decisively launched an attack on the opponent; finally, with the wonderful dispatch of Qizor's strategist, the victory was steadily secured. This tactical arrangement is closely linked and shows wisdom.

Chelsea's championship path does not rely on simple piles of superstars, but coincides with the war wisdom contained in "Three Kingdoms: Plan the World". While other teams were still racking their brains to study how to crack Chelsea’s 3-4-3 formation, the Blues coaching team had already understood the profound connotation of “the inconstant situation of soldiers”. Just like the Sikang profession in the game can quickly transform into a scout based on the ever-changing battle situation, Chelsea coach Tuchel cleverly transformed the full-back into a wingback. Isn’t this magical stroke a practical example of “multi-profession switching” performed on the football field?

On the tactical board of "Three Kingdoms: Deciding the World", we seem to be able to see the reappearance of the Stamford Bridge miracle. Looking back at the classic moment when Cech saved Robben's penalty in the 2012 Champions League semi-finals, it was like the gameplay of "empty city plan". In the game, players will use the main city of residual blood to attract the enemy's main force, and at the same time secretly dispatch the Tiangong Equipment troops to raid in the back to reverse the situation. Dimatio's on-the-spot change on the field is flexible and accurate, just like the real version of "Military Advisor of Chizo" cleverly controlling the sand table, showing extraordinary tactical wisdom.

Not only that, Chelsea's wisdom in resource management also has a wonderful response to the game. The Chelsea Youth Training Camp is like the "training station" in the game. It silently cultivates young talents like Mount, just like when a game player quits the machine and inadvertently trains backup generals into strong full-level bosses. The youth training camp can also deliver fresh blood to the first team at any time, replenishing the combat power, and ensuring the team's sustainable development.

For old SLG players, Chelsea's transfer strategy in the Abu era is simply a realistic version of card drawing teaching. Drogba's signing back then was like a precise 20 draw guarantee in the game, steadily gaining powerful characters. Lukaku's return is very similar to the "General replacement" function in the game. In the game, players will return the unsatisfactory purple generals to exchange for full red oranges and start the battle again, while Chelsea will continue to optimize the team's lineup through similar operations. This kind of operation philosophy of "low investment and high return" is similar to the welfare mechanism of giving away two orange generals for seven days in the game. Although it is in different fields, it has the same effect.

When football analysts tried to use big data to dismantle the password of the Blues' success, the "historians" of "Three Kingdoms: Plan the World" had already seen its essence: the true way to the king is to build a system that can make the ordinary extraordinary. Just like in the game, players can form a T0 lineup without a lot of krypton gold. Chelsea proves to the world with its pragmatic tactics and efficient youth training that in the world of football, there is no wealthy family that will always stand tall, and only eternal strategies are the key to success.
