Football’s First Defender

"Keep the situation in the first half, keep our pressure, control the ball, and in the last 45 minutes, I believe you can..."

During the intermission, Hiddink didn't have too much demand and emphasis on tactics. He believed that his players could stick to the tactical system he had polished for a long time, so he just kept encouraging Chelsea players. Qi, at this time, the mental strength of the players is more valuable than any tactics!

1-0 score advantage, home games, and firmly grasp the initiative on the field, Chelsea is now the probability of qualifying for the finals, has exceeded 70%, the rest of the game, it depends on whether they can defend the last 45 of Barcelona Minutes of counterattack!

Of course, if Chelsea can rely on counterattacks to score another goal and expand the lead in the score, then a 2-0 lead can almost declare Barcelona's death penalty!

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Hiddink and Guardiola did not carry out personnel exchanges!

Although Guardiola was very dissatisfied with his team's offense in the first half, Guashuai still wanted to rely on the existing lineup to try to continue attacking for a period of time. In fact, the current lineup, in the case of double midfield defense, defends There is still rumbling, and Guardiola is also afraid. After replacing a midfielder with a forward player, if Chelsea scores another goal, there will be nothing!

Now there is only one goal behind. You just need to keep the score and not be pulled away. Then just score one goal and Barcelona can turn over!

Guardiola emphatically emphasized that in the second half, they can play Messi and Iniesta. They can use their outstanding breakthrough ability and personal ability to fight for the opening of Chelsea's defense line!

However, in this game, Barcelona's offensive play is really limited!

With the support of the home buff, the Chelsea players continued their strong performance in the first half. Not only did they perform well, the overall defensive formation was also very neat!

Barcelona’s attack from any direction does not have much opportunity. Instead, they constantly try to pass the ball. After being interrupted by Chelsea players, they directly hit Barcelona’s counterattack, which caused even greater Barcelona defense. pressure!

"Barack! After receiving the pass from Yang Feng's cut off the ball in the backcourt, he made a long pass straight ahead, looking for Malouda on the left side quickly!"

Barcelona's central defender choice in this game is Yaya Toure and Pique. The two are definitely not outstanding compared with Malouda in terms of absolute speed!

So this time, because Alves stepped forward to participate in the Barcelona attack, the huge space behind him, although Yaya Toure helped guard, but now facing the forward Malouda, Yaya Toure’s methods are really limited. !

"Barack's long pass is very skillful, and he went directly to the depths of the Barcelona backcourt. Yaya Toure and Malouda will have to compete for a sprint sprint of about 30 meters!"

"Malouda was the first to catch up with the football and continue to move forward!"

Fortunately, the passing position of this ball is close to the left sideline. Although Yaya Toure and the back midfielder Keita can not catch up with Malouda in the first time, they occupy a position closer to the penalty area. It can be guaranteed that when Malouda cuts to the penalty area, they can still reach the defensive position!

"Malouda, if you want to go to the restricted area, you have to face the two-person defense line composed of Keita and Yaya Toure!"

"Try to break?"

"Pass the ball directly!"

"Malouda passed the ball through the gap between Keita and Yaya Toure!"

"Anelka, plugged in from behind, got the ball directly and went to the penalty area!"

At the time of the counterattack, the so-called offensive position of the players is actually blurred. The vast world is for the players to choose. With the sixth sense of the striker, Anelka went from the right to the penalty zone where the center is now on the left. From outside, he successfully received Malouda's pass!

"Pique! Facing Anelka, who is accelerating dribbling diagonally, he can only interfere on his side and cannot directly stop him!"

"Abidal! Get out from the right defense zone!"

Pique and Abidal, seeing Yaya Toure running to Chelsea's offensive side to defend, naturally they can't expose Barcelona's central defense line, only two of them can guard the center at the same time!

When Anelka received the ball, Pique was standing near the penalty area line, and Pique subconsciously chose to grab and block Anelka, but Anelka directly dialed the ball to the right and then accelerated. Almost passed straight away!

Although Pique managed to maintain his balance, he could only be on the left side of Anelka, desperately chasing interference, but he could not make a substantial block to Anelka's dribbling! I can't hold back any foul!

At this time, Abidal on the route of Anelka! I also had to give up my defensive area and directly attack from the side, hoping to use my surprise, use a sliding shovel to intercept the football, or bring down Anelka, after all, Anelka is now out of the penalty area. There are 2 steps away!

Pique simply missed the best time for fouling because his first choice was to steal the ball. As a result, he would not be able to commit a foul now, otherwise he would have already committed a foul!

"Anelka! Passed!"

"Pass the ball to Drogba who pulled down the right side!"

Drogba was a step ahead of the penalty zone line, but it was empty!

A quasi-single-handed opportunity is a huge test for Valdes!

Pique's mind at this time was to stop Drogba's kick!

Taking the last step vigorously, Pique, by chasing Anelka's speed, ran directly to Drogba who was about to hit the door not far away, threw his whole body out, and flew away with the shovel. Ke wants to use his body to block Drogba's kick!

"Drogba! A buckle with his right foot escaped Pique's blockade!"

"Just hit the door with your left foot!"

The 1v1 matchup between the forward and the goalkeeper~www.readwn.com~ However, although Drogba used his calm handling to completely shake Pique away, the time for this spike also gave Valdes more The time to rush forward, even if this time can only make Valdesdo move forward 2, 3 meters, but the closer to the position where Drogba hits the goal, the smaller the angle of Drogba's shot!

"Valdes!"

"A good service! At the moment Drogba hit the door, Valdes changed from squatting forward and sitting directly on the ground. With his right leg, he directly blocked Drogba's kick!"

"Essien following up! No chance!"

This ball, Drogba’s momentary force on his left leg was still sufficient, so after the ball was blocked by Valdes, it flew out of the penalty area directly with a high parabola, making the same fast forward to the goal. Essien, ran away, the ball flew high above Essien's head!

"Outside the penalty area! Lampard! Follow-up is a volley!"

"Busquets! Use your body to block Lampard's kick!"

"Malouda within the penalty zone!"

"Keep up with another kick!"

"Just hit the side net!"

Chelsea instantly targeted the empty goal left by Valdes after falling to the ground and completed two consecutive fill shots, but it is a pity that Barcelona's luck is really good!

Lampard was supposed to hit the target's volley and was blocked by Busquets who was chasing Essien in the penalty area!

The ball bounced back to a position not far from the penalty area and was picked up by Malouda, who followed from the left. However, after almost no defensive interference, Malouda also pursued a volley of time selection. Hit the goal, but still not controlled to perfection, the ball can be hit on the side net, and it is a little bit short of the goal!
