Football’s First Defender

Manchester United's offense showed its aggressiveness from the very beginning of the game!

Ronaldo used his excellent free kick footwork to show that his game state is absolutely at its best!

And the direct duel between Park Ji-sung and Yang Feng in the penalty area instantly made this Asian derby a gimmick. At the beginning of the game, it completed the first Asian player competition in the same frame!

Yang Feng, maybe he doesn't catch a cold with the Asian derby speculated by the media. He just does what he should do, regardless of who the opponent is in front of him!

Yang Feng used his excellent defensive awareness to take the lead in stepping out his long legs when Park Ji-sung fell to the ground and wanted to shovel to make up for the goal. Before Park Ji-sung’s kick, he directly helped the team complete the siege without giving Park Ji-sung the goal. Opportunity for close shots!

After this thrill in the penalty area, Chelsea's players were also completely scared into the game by the threat of Manchester United's opening ball. They also thoroughly understood that in this game, they cannot tolerate a little negligence, and they must always ensure their attention on the defensive end!

Even if the game has just begun!

"Manchester United's corner kick chance!"

Chelsea’s Champions League promotion is not as smooth as Manchester United. In the process of reaching the finals, the strong opponents encountered, including Liverpool and Barcelona before, are all with super attacking firepower and the team is in excellent condition. It's just that these two strong teams have a fatal weakness when they play against Chelsea, that is their defensive ability when setting up the ball to compete for the top!

The first is the lack of height of the main players on the front line of the two teams, and the second is that the central defender is not the kind of strong central defender who is particularly good at headers! Therefore, Chelsea is very powerful in the high-altitude ball scramble and the threat ability of positioning the ball, which effectively improved Chelsea's goal rate! It can also allow Chelsea to use limited opportunities to create extremely threatening offensive opportunities even though the main energy is devoted to the defensive end!

But this Manchester United's high-altitude bombing force is completely different from its previous opponents!

In Manchester United's lineup, the individual air defense capability is extremely strong, and the central defender combination Ferdinand and Vidic, both of which can effectively limit Drogba's defensive ruthless man! And Ronaldo's powerful ability to stay in the air and the ability to compete for the header are a powerful guarantee for Manchester United when it comes to the top ball! The terrible and powerful Cristiano Ronaldo, coupled with Rooney and Evra, is not too tall, but relying on physical strength, headers can be considered a good player.

Manchester United's overall header competence may not be able to beat Chelsea, a high-altitude team that is extremely good at headers, but the disadvantage is definitely not as obvious as Barcelona and Liverpool!

Even Manchester United itself, on the offensive end, can use a certain tactical arrangement to properly use the set-piece and compete for the header to try to attack Chelsea's high-altitude defense. It may not be a miraculous effect!

"Giggs! Standing in the corner zone!"

"In the penalty area, the players of Manchester United put up a long snake formation and are ready to compete for the top!"

"A corner kick!"

"C Ronaldo! One stride from behind! Jump high! Ready to header!"

"Yang Feng! Blocked in front of Ronaldo! He was stuck in position! Although Ronaldo had already jumped high, Yang Feng, who took off at the same time, interfered with Ronaldo’s path, and the two almost met each other at the same time. Top football!"

"The ball deviated from the direction of the goal, the referee signaled to continue Manchester United's corner kick!"

In this game, Yang Feng is the central defender who was given the heavy responsibility by Hiddink and mainly defended Ronaldo!

Especially in the set-piece defense, because Ferdinand and Vidic are the best central defenders in the Premier League. Both of them are full-back defenders with strong height and appropriate flexibility. Compared with Yang Feng, although they are not bad in most aspects, it is the physical confrontation ability that these two people can cause a huge impact on Yang Feng. Troubled! Therefore, Hiddink is still responsible for Drogba and Terry for the defensive tasks of Manchester United's two central defenders in the free kick!

In contrast, Ronaldo, who is not too tall compared to two guards by running position, has become the most suitable object for Yang Feng's defense!

Although Ronaldo’s flexibility, explosive power, and ability to control the body in the air are all inhuman levels of terror, but Yang Feng, who has excellent predictive ability and excellent judgment in various situations, is also the most suitable to defend Ronaldo The choice, even if Yang Feng lacks game experience, he is actually a rookie in the five major leagues!

Hiddink chose to trust Yang Feng, he chose to believe that Yang Feng could exert his best strength in the game to ensure his defensive strength against Ronaldo!

Not to mention that it can completely limit Ronaldo’s offense, but it also has to form a huge defensive interference with Ronaldo, so that Ronaldo can't play that kind of unsolvable state!

In fact, in the tactical preparation meeting before the start of the final, there was also a debate within the Chelsea coaching staff regarding the position of the starting center back in the Champions League final. Yang Feng's strength is indeed outstanding, and his contribution to Chelsea's defensive end is obvious to all. However, in view of his game experience and on-the-spot mentality, there are still some old-school coaches expressing concerns!

Regarding the experience of the competition, he has returned from injury. In recent league games, Carvalho has performed better and better. His excellent experience in the competition can ensure that his strength will never be affected by his psychological state, and his physical confrontation ability can also face the ball when facing Manchester United, which also has a traditional British style of play. The team's defense, make a favorable supplement!

However, Hiddink and more than half of the coaches chose to continue to believe in Yang Feng!

Although Yang Feng is very young, his general demeanor and steady performance on the court have hardly made too many mistakes in the game style. Hiddink believes that Yang Feng can play his own strength in the game, even if it is full. The world's attention in the Champions League final!

To be on the safe side, Hiddink also deliberately learned from the Dutch fellow Ed Wocart that even in Yang Feng’s first professional season, Yang Feng did not have any major problems with psychological problems, even if it was the first time to stop. In the final stage of the European Cup, under the noise interference of tens of thousands of fans, Yang Feng's performance is still so calm and calm!

Hiddink naturally would not believe that such a sophisticated Yang Feng will perform poorly in the Champions League final this time!

And compared to the use of Chelsea's meritorious veteran Carvalho, Hiddink also knows that Carvalho did not actually take advantage of the matchup when facing Manchester United in the past few seasons.

Hiddink really wants to see if Yang Feng, a central defender who has never faced Manchester United before, can pose a greater threat to Manchester United! Better limit Manchester United's offense!

"As soon as the game started, Manchester United won two consecutive corner kicks!"

"It is still Giggs who will take the corner kick!"

"This time I chose to post the point before the penalty area!"

"Rooney! I didn't get it this time!"

"Barack pushed the ball directly out of the penalty area!"

"Chelsea's counterattack opportunity!"

The rich tactical changes of the two teams and the strong personal strength of the players make it possible for every corner kick and set kick in a game to use the same tactics, and there may be surplus at the end of the game!

Rooney wanted to nod in front of the goal, but fortunately Barack was very alert. Before the corner kick was taken, Rooney used his teammate's block in the middle to successfully get rid of Bosingwa's defense. When he ran to the front point, Giggs' pass was also passed in time!

Fortunately, Barack, who was in charge of defending the front point area, has always maintained his vigilance. When he saw Rooney moving to this side who was not defending in front of him, Barack directly and decisively chose to fill the defense and jam Rooney's forward position. !

After the corner kick was passed, Ballack was naturally pushed out of the penalty area directly and steadily!

"Lampard! After receiving the ball, he passed the ball to Manchester United's halftime!"

"Malouda! Chasing football!"

In this corner kick tactic, Manchester United is responsible for ensuring that the team defends from the rear right back O'Shea, as well as midfielder Carrick!

Seeing Chelsea preparing to counterattack, O'Shea naturally ran back to the penalty area and was responsible for guarding the area, while Carrick was fighting Malouda on the left!

"Malouda and Carrick, while running, engaged in fierce physical confrontation, both of them had a lot of tearing movements, but the referee has been signaling the game to proceed, and there is no whining!"

Malouda and Carrick are now fully engaged in a Premier League level confrontation. In the Champions League final of this Premier League civil war, even if the referee is the Swiss Busaka designated by UEFA, for Adapting to the style of the two teams, as well as the good-looking degree of the game, Busaka also deliberately used a referee style that is more biased towards the Premier League to maintain the rapid progress of the game!

"Malouda's physical advantage is still very obvious! Although he didn't completely shake off Carrick's defense, he was still in a half-length lead after taking off the ball!"

"Malouda and Carrick were entangled and killed in Manchester United's penalty area!"

At this time, Chelsea’s support players are not few, and the speed of forward support is not unpleasant, but there are more Manchester United players chasing back faster!

As the winner of the Premier League's three consecutive championships, this Manchester United is very mature on both offensive and defensive ends! Players are still hungry for honor, especially after the Champions League reform, the honor of the first team to successfully defend the title deeply stimulates every player in Manchester United!

Behind Malouda is a sea of ​​red, desperately chasing back, while the teammates in the blue jersey that Malouda was looking forward to are completely blocked by red!

"O'Shea is standing by the penalty zone line!"

"Carrick is still on the side, constantly interfering with Malouda's advancement and dribbling!"

"Malouda!"

"Just hit the door!"

During the journey, Malouda did glance into the distance, but what he saw was really only red!

Knowing that he could not pass the O'Shea prepared in the front under the interference of Carrick at the side and rear, Malouda felt that it was better to take a long-range shot by himself than the threat!

"The ball was not suppressed, it flew directly out of the bottom line!"

This time Chelsea, with the same exceptionally simple counterattack opportunity, did not get too much threat of shooting!

Chelsea's counterattack did not affect much of Manchester United's established strategic arrangement. Manchester United still invested a lot of troops on the offensive end to achieve the result of complete suppression!

"Manchester United's offensive players are very close!"

"Chelsea's line of defense has shrunk very flat!"

In this game, Ronaldo was placed in the center position, and Yang Feng is a direct opponent!

But this kind of Yang Feng still has the opportunity of Ronaldo to confront directly, only when Ronaldo stays in the restricted area!

Everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo's position is the front center, but in fact, Cristiano Ronaldo is more of a fake No. 9, more like a frontcourt free agent standing in the center position!

Ferguson’s tactics are very clear. It is to use Ronaldo’s own personal abilities, his shooting and breakthrough abilities, to let Ronaldo play freely, freely look for opportunities, and let Ronaldo decide his own in any position. Attack method!

Much like the "Old Beijing" of NBA, give him the ball, and other people will move and cooperate. Basketball is "one star and four shots". In football, Ronaldo is the sun, and other Manchester United players surround the sun. , Just start your own corresponding tactical moves!

All in order to create opportunities for Ronaldo!

Of course, this is different from that in the late Real Madrid, all players must feed Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo can really rely on his breakthrough ability, and when his teammates open up space and defenders, he can create the best by himself. Opportunity bug!

"C Ronaldo retreated to the midfield position! Received a through ball from Carrick!"

After Cristiano Ronaldo is out of the penalty area, there is no need for Yang Feng to conduct a one-on-one defense. There will be a Chelsea player in the midfield to interfere with Cristiano Ronaldo’s ball and breakthrough. Yang Feng only needs to shrink behind to prepare at any time Just prevent it!

"C Ronaldo takes the ball, faces Ballack's defense head-on, and wants to seek dribbling!"

"To the right and forward, I took two steps diagonally. It hit the door!"

With 35 meters from the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo is very confident of himself, and has the right to fire freely given by Ferguson. With a 35-meter long shot, Cristiano Ronaldo thinks he is also in his own range!

"It's full of power, but unfortunately it's a little bit off!"

"The position of this long shot is very similar to the position of Ronaldo's World Wave that scored in Porto, but this time, it is slightly off! Chelsea should probably consider limiting Ronaldo's long shot. The door!"

I have to say that Ronaldo’s long-range shooting ability pursues speed and strength. This kick suddenly hits the door from a long distance. Although Cech reacted, he really did not move in place, just Ronaldo’s shot. Because it is too far away from the goal, the deviation is about 20cm. It can only be said that it has caused Cech to intimidate!

From the beginning of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo has been very active, hitting the goal directly with a free kick, and hitting the goal with a long shot, which is still very threatening. It proves that Cristiano Ronaldo's toes are very hard today!

Such an excellent long-range shooting status is definitely not good news for Chelsea's defense!

You must know that Ronaldo’s long shot is a very big threat, but if the defensive player wants to defend his long shot in order to prevent him, he will inevitably put himself in the front, and even cause himself to block the long shot. The loss of position, and Ronaldo’s breakthrough ability, at this time, is extremely good!

A Chelsea player, every time he faces Ronaldo's defensive decision, it may not be so easy to make! This is also this kind of superstar. For the team’s contribution to the team, in 1v1, the super high offensive success rate, as well as excellent shooting efficiency, can at certain moments, relying on personal ability to change the overall game format !

"Manchester United continue to organize the attack! From the beginning of the game, Manchester United has been full of repression! Chelsea did not have too many opportunities to bring the ball to Manchester United's half of the game!"

"Manchester United's offensive focus is still on the left side!"

"After all, when O'Shea played at right back, he had very few opportunities to participate in the offense, so Evra on the left has significantly increased the range!"

"Evra and Rooney are 2 over 2 on the left side!"

"Anelka's grab, wants to stop Evra's advance!"

"But Evra's body is too strong, resisting the interference of Anelka's defense, along the sideline, dribbling the ball to continue to break forward!"

"Bosingwa's sliding shovel!"

After forcibly passing the Anelka blockade, Evra also saw Bosingwa's help!

In a fast dribbling state, Evra also knows that Bosingwa's block and tackle must be inevitable. Even if the ball can pass, he can't make it, so passing is an inevitable choice!

In the limited observation time, Evra did see the teammates who had taken over!

"Evra ~www.readwn.com~ during the high-speed running process, forcibly swept the ball before Chelsea's penalty area, and then Evra was directly taken down by Bosingwa!"

"The referee signaled that the attacker is in favor of the attack!"

"C Ronaldo! Near the penalty area, he moved across from the middle, just carrying Yang Feng, and received this pass!"

"After catching the ball, prepare to complete the turn around and face the goal!"

"C Ronaldo!"

"Just hit the door!"

Yang Feng is still thinking about the next defensive situation, how to deal with Ronaldo's various offensive options, and how to do the most beneficial defense for his teammates, which can cover more shooting angles!

But Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have so many ideas, just do whatever he wants!

Evra’s pass was naturally unable to achieve perfect control under his high-speed running state. When the pass was passed to Ronaldo’s feet, the ball was a little bouncing, Ronaldo stopped the ball and simply turned the ball slightly towards the body. Provoked sideways!

After that, it was naturally a half-turn, ready to face the goal!

It's just that Ronaldo chose the simplest way of handling this time, half-turning directly, and finishing the volley with his left foot!

With this kick, not only did Yang Feng, who defended Ronaldo at close range, failed to respond, even Cech in front of the goal did not respond!

It is really too sudden to hit the goal, and the speed of the ball is extremely fast, the angle of the goal is still aimed directly at the lower right corner of the goal behind!

At the close point, Cech couldn't make a save and could only watch the football!

"It's a little worse! Oh my god, Cristiano Ronaldo hit the goal suddenly, almost sticking to the right post of the goal, flying out of the bottom line!"

"In just 7 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo completed a three-legged and extremely threatening shot. Chelsea's defense, under the attack of Cristiano Ronaldo alone, seemed a bit shaky!"
