Football’s First Defender

In the first half of the game, 30 minutes have come. Although Barcelona had a few threats to hit the goal in the previous attack, except for the opening time, Eto'o hit the goal with a header in front of the goal. , And the rest are almost all long shots outside the penalty area, so it did not pose a big enough threat to Chelsea!

Chelsea's overall defense, within 30 minutes, is quite remarkable! Although Barcelona have thought about various offensive methods, in addition to Messi can use his personal ability to maximize the chaos of Chelsea's defense, other offensive methods, Chelsea have dealt with fairly well!

This time Barcelona tried to pass Eto'o in the penalty area in the middle. Chelsea’s defender Yang Feng was directly in the penalty area and the ball was intercepted. Yang Feng passed the ball directly to nearby teammate Mikel. Mikel was trying to organize When Chelsea's counterattack attacked, because the Barcelona players countered on the spot, Mikel was panicked on the right. It caused Mikel to make a mistake when passing the ball and passed the ball back to the Barcelona player Henry. The nearby Ballack directly chose to slide the tackle to intercept, avoiding Henry's breakthrough to Chelsea's defense with the ball, posing a big threat!

Because Ballack shoveled Henry directly to the ground, he won the first yellow card of the two teams in the game! This is the control of the defense among the top giants. Although the actions of the defenders are not small, they are definitely within the tolerance of the referee. For card-eating actions, unless it is a critical moment, it is difficult to appear on the defender!

Most of the time in this game, although Chelsea's defensive, physical confrontation intensity is very high, but because the movements are still clean, even if there is a foul, there is no danger of getting a card!

On the right side, Messi has just taken over Barcelona’s offensive, which put a lot of pressure on Chelsea’s defense, and gave Barcelona several threatening offensives. It also gave Barcelona ample rest time for Henry on his left. . In the final stage of the first half of the game, the 32-year-old veteran, Henry, has to stand up again and prepare to attack Barcelona!

The direct match between Henry and Ivanovic is Barcelona's biggest single point advantage besides Messi! It's just a pity that Henry's physical condition does not allow him to attack Ivanovic madly throughout the game!

Henry, who has been entrusted by Guardiola this season, because of his age, although the offensive end data is still qualified, but in the game, Henry is more in the stage of offensive, running more hard to participate in Barcelona The offensive system! Other times, Henry acts more as the team's shooter, standing where he thinks fit, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, and then directly completing the goal by himself, rather than becoming the initiator and participant of the team's offense!

Guardiola also understands that Henry's physical condition at his age means that he can complete several high-quality left breakthroughs per game, but this trick cannot be used frequently as a conventional weapon!

After attacking for a while at the beginning of the game, at the end of the first half, Henry stood up again, ready to give it a try, opening up Barcelona's offensive situation on the left!

"Henry once again took the ball on the left, 1v1 with Ivanovic!"

"This time, because of Abidal's insertion, it opened a certain space for Henry!"

"But behind Ivanovich, there is still Barak ready to make up for it!"

Henry, play a psychological game face to face with Ivanovic!

Henry is paddling his feet, making small steps under his feet, and the football is exposed to Ivanovic without any obstacles, as if to provoke Ivanovic, let him make the move first!

The tall Ivanovich didn't care about Henry's provocative methods. Although Henry is not short in height, Henry, who has always been known for speed and technique, must have a step frequency much faster than himself. Ivanovic knows this in his heart!

Ivanovic can only choose to stay behind, but not to give Henry a chance to break through easily! And Ivanovic’s attention is also very concentrated. When Henry wants to pass, Ivanovic is also ready to try to use his long legs to block!

In the process of the ball stagnation, although the wing does not seem to have room to accelerate the bottom pass! However, Henry still chose, and suddenly went down!

Ivanovic quickly followed, and even Ballack behind Ivanovic chose to move back to the penalty area, control a certain defensive area, and prepare to defend the offensive players in the Barcelona penalty area to grab Henry's Pass the ball!

But Henry made another emergency stop, and moved back to the right hand side in the opposite direction!

Ivanovic did not lose his position, but facing Henry's continuous movements, it was obvious that it was a bit difficult to follow the defense under his feet! Although he caught up, Ivanovic also felt that his breathing was a little bit difficult!

Henry, just like this, from the bottom line, back to the big penalty area line again, continue 1v1, in the slow test action, Henry suddenly started!

"Henry! After suddenly dialing the ball to the outside, he came to the corner of the penalty area and hit the goal directly!"

"Ivanovic, can't make up for it!"

"Cech! Instantly fell to the ground to complete a sideways save!"

Henry's shot, with a very fast kick speed, chose a ground ball and ran directly to the lower left corner of the goal at the near point! What is pursued is suddenness!

But before, Henry had been playing with the ball on the left, which also made Cech's position always close to the side of Barcelona's main attack. Therefore, although Henry shot suddenly, for Cech, he only needs to react. , You can block the kick by falling to the ground, and the threat of this ball is not so great!

"Cech steadily pressed this shot under him, Henry's long shot didn't work!"

Henry's attempt to hit the door can be regarded as adjusting his own sight for his personal offense!

In the final stage of the first half of the game, Barcelona paid more attention to the offensive end!

Barcelona, ​​playing at home, desperately needs to score goals to gain greater initiative!

The left side of Henry's side, in accordance with Barcelona's established tactics, also became the main line of Barcelona's attack at the end of the first half!

Of course, the so-called main attack on the strong side is also inseparable from the weak side players to open up the space for the team's overall attack. It has always been a regular tactic on the football field!

Even Messi, facing Chelsea's multiplayer defense, it is difficult to have a breakthrough effect now, but the ball is still being sent to Messi on the right by Harvey!

It is to let Messi use his personal skills to attract enough defenders to pave the way for the next offense!

"After Messi receives the ball, he directly chooses to dribble the ball to the center!"

"This time, Messi suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally, directly past Malouda who had been preparing to defend him and accelerated forward! But Malouda still followed Messi and wanted to catch up to interfere!"

"Essien and Lampard in the middle of Chelsea are ready to form a pincer against Messi in an instant!"

There are wolves before and tigers behind. Faced with the yellow circle of Chelsea players around (the Chelsea Champions League away jersey is yellow), Messi is not afraid to maximize his flexibility. During the dribbling process, he changed back and forth slightly, avoiding Essien's Tackle, waltz up on the court, treating Chelsea's defensive players as nothing!

After being overtaken by Malouda due to deceleration and changing direction, Messi used his left foot to pick the ball deep to the left when he lost his balance before being hit by Malouda!

There is nothing useless. In the emphasis on transmission and control, with Barcelona, ​​Messi's "single" tactics that seem to be unable to penetrate Chelsea's defense by themselves are actually designed to create space for teammates!

While Messi was showing his offensive ability from right to center, Iniesta had quietly moved to the left, almost next to Ivanovic!

"Messi made a pass directly before losing his center of gravity! Iniesta! Directly turned offside and succeeded, inserting behind Ivanovic!"

"Ivanovic turned and followed closely, taking a long leg, trying to stop Iniesta's passing line!"

"Iniesta made a sudden stop and shook Ivanovic away, but at this time Mikel had also returned to defense at full speed and guarded Iniesta's breakthrough route!"

Barcelona's threatening attack will never be possible without suddenness and precise passing! This time Messi’s pass was just right, and Iniesta’s personal threat was also used to the extreme, Chelsea’s defense line, because Iniesta was suddenly squashed by himself at the bottom of the left wing. Kerr hurried back to the depths of the wing~www.readwn.com~ to participate in limiting Iniesta's defense!

Then Henry, who was originally in this position, just needs to bounce outward when Iniesta receives the ball. Naturally, the Chelsea defensive team in Blackjack ignored it! Perhaps even if you noticed that Henry's position at this time was less threatening than Iniesta!

"Passed!"

"Iniesta divided the ball to Henry who was unmarked at this time in front of the penalty area!"

"Henry, it was almost the last time he hit the door, and he hit the door again in the same position!"

"Cech! Fly to save!"

"Get off!"

I have tried shooting a goal just now, this time Henry's shot, no matter the angle or the strength, is excellent! It's just a pity that today is Chelsea standing in front of Chelsea, who is in good condition. Although he can't directly control the football this time, he still blocked Henry's shot without humiliation!

"Eto'o stepped forward to shoot!"

"Yang Feng! Take the lead, fly out, shovel the ball out of the baseline! Barcelona's corner kick!"

Barcelona, ​​who chose a tactical corner kick, did not pose much threat to the next attack! Iniesta's long shot, Yang Feng, who was judged to be a good way to hit the goal, directly blocked the penalty area with his body!

Sometimes, the duel will be very dull! With Chelsea's ability to suppress the rhythm and excellent defense, in the last few minutes of the first half, Barcelona's offensive organization did not have a great opportunity!

Only Henry forcibly completed an extraordinary breakthrough on the left and entered the restricted area. Before Mikel's defense was in place, he directly chose a small angle to hit the door, but he did not cross Cech's ten fingers!

Three hits, no particles! It's not that Henry's shooting skills are not perfect, but that Cech's strength and Chelsea's defense are really great!
