Football’s First Defender
Chapter 293: Premier League Champions
The defending champions of the Champions League, stopped in the round of 16, some unexpected, but some deserved. Https://
The unexpected is because Chelsea now has outstanding player strength and tactical system, and the overall structure of the team has not changed. It has excellent stability and is a good time to chase results.
Chelsea, who has been the leader in the Premier League in recent times, also showed strong strength in the previous Champions League group stage. However, in the eighth finals, it was directly eliminated by another group's second place, which is indeed surprising. .
As it should be, Inter Milan is called the strongest of the eight teams and second.
Since the restructuring of the Champions League, countless giants have won the Champions League in the first year, and when they defend the second year, they will always face one of the most embarrassing things, which is the extremely hard schedule.
UEFA's draw, the final result, is always not so friendly to the defending champion.
When you are the defending champion, don't even think about the big gift packages in the knockout rounds. All the strong teams are in front of you to ensure that every time you are promoted, you will be skinned.
While Chelsea encountered the same style of team Inter Milan, the opposing coach is still Mourinho, who is most familiar with Chelsea. In terms of familiarity with most of Chelsea’s main players, Mourinho can even say that he knows Drogba better, Terry better, and Lampard better than today’s Chelsea coach Ancelotti...
was carefully targeted by Mourinho and lost the game away. When Chelsea, who was good at bussing, met Inter Milan who was also good at bussing, Inter Milan, who had the advantage of the score, became the final winner.
One of the most desired championships of the season, just entered the round of 16 and stopped abruptly.
Today's Chelsea has lost the opportunity to become the first defending team after the restructuring of the Champions League, and can only fight for more championships in domestic competitions for comfort.
In the Premier League, Chelsea now leads Manchester United by as much as 8 points, and has also reached the FA Cup semi-finals. With 8 rounds in the league, Chelsea still have a chance as long as they adjust their status in time. To fight for the double crown.
However, with the defeat of the Champions League defending, what Chelsea players need to adjust most is their mentality.
Throughout the season, Chelsea, who have been in the upper hand in the league, have the spirit and arrogance of the players, and they want to continue to prove themselves in the Champions League.
But now being directly eliminated is a huge blow to many Chelsea players. It seems that the accident of this season's hard work has been lost all of a sudden, and it can't be relieved for a while.
In the 31st round of the league, Chelsea challenged Blackburn away from the Champions League. Chelsea, who had come out of the UEFA Champions League game, did not play well. They were drawn 1-1 by Blackburn.
In the whole game, Chelsea’s entire tactical play was very chaotic. Several players made fatal mistakes. Fortunately, Yang Feng has been on the back line and made various leaks for his teammates to maintain Chelsea’s conceded number of goals.
Seeing that the shadow of the defeat in the Champions League game has not disappeared, and is still affecting the league, Ancelotti can finally sit still.
Ancelotti, who calls himself a good old man, first discussed in detail with Chelsea’s captains and veterans on the field, and determined Chelsea’s goal of double crowning later this season. Later, in the team meeting, Ancelotti "severely" criticized the players who performed poorly in the league, and then another "chicken soup" to let everyone regain their goals.
After the meeting, Chelsea vented the anger accumulated in the Champions League and previous league matches, and finally vented on Vera who visited Stamford Bridge.
In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Chelsea finally showed their terrifying strength this season against Villa who is still in the European theater.
7 to 1 at home to complete the bloodbath on Vera.
In the first half, when Chelsea was leading 2-0, it was a midfield error that caused Villa's goal, which made fans still worried about Chelsea's performance in the second half.
However, after Yang Feng took the lead to use a corner kick to score the third goal and expand the lead, Chelsea played more and more smoothly, and finally scored 5 goals in the second half and completed a big victory at home.
Chelsea, who successfully recovered the game state, are back on the right track of the league.
Because of the previous draw with Blackburn, Manchester United, which has recently recovered from injuries, has chased the points gap to 6 points through a wave of consecutive victories, and the direct confrontation between the two teams will also determine the suspense of the Premier League championship this season. , Whether it can continue.
The 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea's peak match, will determine the latest ownership of the Premier League champion this season.
Manchester United, all the main players played, Ferdinand, Vidic, Park Ji-sung, Neville and many other players who were absent due to injury in the first round all started.
However, at Old Trafford, Ancelotti is quite conservative in the selection of the team lineup.
Since Ivanovic was also injured in the previous game, the team’s regular three full-backs, Ivan, Ashley Cole, and Bosingwa were all injured and unable to play. Ancelotti simply changed. 3 central defenders.
Belletti played in this game, playing in the position of the center defender on the right, Yang Feng is still in the center, Terry on the left.
It's just that, unlike the usual three central defenders, this time, Ancelotti's lineup changed from the previous 352 formation and changed to 361 formation in this game!
The goal of this game is Ancelotti, who did not lose on the road, put Drogba on the bench. The starting single forward became Anelka who is more suitable for counterattack, and then put his foot in the middle. Six midfielders guarantee the control of the team's midfield.
Zhirkov, Malouda is separated on the left and right to ensure the team's side defense.
Mikel, Deco, and Lampard are in charge of the defensive system in the middle from back to front.
Joe Cole was given the role of free man in the midfield by Ancelotti, who can either directly advance the position and act as a shadow forward to participate in the attack, or he can retreat and help Zhirkov complete the wing on the wing. Defense.
Manchester United is playing at home. The goal of this game is to win. If they can win the game at home, then with the remaining 5 rounds of the league and a gap of 3 points, Manchester United might not have the chance to reverse and win the championship!
As soon as the Manchester United players started, they took the initiative to speed up the pace of the game, hoping to have a greater advantage on the offensive end.
However, Ferguson had adjusted the lineup to 451 in order to strengthen the team’s control in the midfield in this game. However, when he encountered Chelsea’s 6 midfielders, Ferguson imagined that he could master the midfield, but he did not. occur.
The players of both sides launched a tragic "fight" in the midfield. Manchester United's organization of the attack in the middle, it is not easy to move forward.
Rooney, who played the single forward at the front, couldn't get too much passing support from his teammates.
From the beginning of the game, Chelsea showed off his ability to put the bus on the defensive end.
Anelka is also more active in returning to the defense, participating in the team's defense, so that Manchester United, in the half-time defense against 11 Chelsea players, relying on passing, simply can not mobilize much space.
Manchester United, who lost Cristiano Ronaldo, is a player who lacks flank points. Nowadays, the most suitable player is Valencia on the right. But Chelsea also has two wing players defending against this side. It is still somewhat difficult for Lencia to be one against two.
And under the active running of Chelsea players, it is not so easy for Manchester United players to organize attacks with peace of mind.
As an old opponent, Chelsea is so thorough in defending Manchester United. Many Manchester United players do not have the space to play their offense.
Throughout the first half, it was extremely difficult for Manchester United to pass the ball to Chelsea’s penalty area, not to mention giving Rooney a chance to pass the ball.
Under Chelsea's defense, it is not easy for Manchester United players to shoot a long shot.
In the first half, when Manchester United had more than 60% of the ball, they only shot 4 feet, and they were all long shots. Only one shot was within the range of the goal frame, and Cech was steadily received. Living.
On the contrary, it was Chelsea, who used the opportunity of counterattack to complete a 3-foot shot, which was extremely threatening.
Chelsea's defensive counterattack tactics are to prepare to hold on to the end, and Yang Feng, as the Chelsea defensive line, the most critical point, also played his due role.
It is through Yang Feng’s loud shout and coordination in the back that Chelsea’s defense has always maintained the closeness of the defense, and it does not give Manchester United players the space to pass and cut to advance.
And even if Chelsea's midfielder, sometimes because they want to guard the player, they can't take care of their own defensive area, then Yang Feng will only fill up other teammates, or go directly to improve the area's defense.
Chelsea’s current defense, for Manchester United players, is like a big wall pressing on them, out of breath.
In the second half, Manchester United, who lacked a hot spot, can only hope that they can rely on running, passing, and consuming the physical energy of Chelsea players, and have a chance to get a better attacking opportunity in the end.
However, Manchester United's conduction of the ball did not take long before he made a fatal error. Chelsea midfielder Mikel was directly on the defense, relying on the pre-judgment of the grab, completed the steal, and directly hit Manchester United's counterattack.
Joe Cole, who has been waiting for an opportunity, played his offensive strength in this crucial battle, received a through ball from Lampard and drove the ball directly into the penalty area.
And relying on his ability to change direction, he shook off his national teammate Ferdinand and volleyed directly from the far corner to succeed. Van der Sar couldn't make a save. Chelsea took the lead shortly after the start of the second half.
In this game, it was impossible to win and almost lost the suspense of the championship. Manchester United still chose to attack vigorously afterwards, especially in the case of replacing Vidic and a wing attacker Nani. Manchester United Ready to fight to the death!
However, regardless of the number of offensive players in Manchester United, Chelsea will maximize their defense. Manchester United’s offense is unable to penetrate Chelsea’s defense. It is difficult to advance to the 30-meter danger zone every time, let alone further into the penalty area. Within.
In the second half of the game, Yang Feng still showed his defensive strength. In the penalty area, he should not only pay attention to defending Rooney's running position, but also through advance judgments, grabbing, and destroying Manchester United players. Finally, it was passed into the penalty area. Pass within.
Cech, under the protection of Yang Feng and a group of Chelsea players, still did not have much room to play in the second half.
Ferguson ran out of three substitutions and replaced them with offensive players. Ancelotti's side also replaced Ballack, Drogba, and Kalu to replace the exhausted Deco and others. , Continue to maintain the defensive vitality of the team.
Manchester United players who have been unable to create offensive opportunities will inevitably be impatient, while Chelsea have built confidence on the defensive end, and counterattack also timely hit Manchester United's defense.
In the 79th minute of the game, Drogba received a long pass from Ballack during the counterattack. He stopped the ball near the penalty zone line and half-turned directly to complete a volley and hit the ball beautifully. Into the goal.
2 to 0, Chelsea secured the victory!
After more than ten minutes of the game, although Manchester United players continued to attack, but Chelsea’s defense did not make too many mistakes afterwards.
Manchester United, who is good at reversing ~www.readwn.com~, did not play their magic in this game, 0 to 2, losing the focus of the battle at home. With 5 rounds left in the league, Chelsea led by 9 Points, almost locked the Premier League champion this season!
After the away victory over Manchester United, Chelsea's advantage in winning the championship has been enormous, and the fiery state of Chelsea did not give Manchester United any hope of miracles.
In the 34th round of the Premier League, Chelsea played at home, 1-0, and won the visiting Bolton without a dash and continued to maintain a 9-point advantage.
In the 35th game, with Manchester United in the first game and an upset loss, Chelsea can win three rounds early as long as they are unbeaten.
At the White Hart Lane, Chelsea once again played an iron bucket in the face of Tottenham who performed well this season.
After all, they still have to face the FA Cup semi-final. Chelsea still intends to end the suspense of the league as soon as possible so that all of their energy can be devoted to the FA Cup.
However, in the face of Tottenham, the defensive attitude of Chelsea players was obviously not as focused as they were against Manchester United. After being scored by Tottenham first, Ancelotti had to change temporarily and replaced with Kalu to strengthen The team's offense.
Fortunately, the result was good. With the small cooperation between Kalu and Anelka on the right, Anelka finally helped Chelsea to tie the score with a kick in the penalty area.
And Tottenham did not embarrass Chelsea afterwards. The two sides shook hands 1-1 at White Hart Lane. Chelsea successfully won the Premier League championship this season! ! !
