Football’s First Defender

Chapter 163: Xiaosheng "Old Woman"

After the game against Aston Villa, the Chelsea team shifted their focus of preparation to the upcoming Champions League knockout!

Chelsea, who was second in Group A, got the first "Old Woman" Juventus in Group H in the draw!

Due to the influence of the phone calls in the previous seasons, although Juventus successfully returned to Serie A after relegation on the basis of its background, and still maintained the style of a wealthy club, in the past few years, it has been suppressed by Inter Milan!

After experiencing the blooming of a hundred flowers in the glorious era of the Little World Cup, Serie A has been in the stage of taking turns among the giants in recent years. Everyone is the kind of century-old giants with historical heritage. There is nothing for their opponents to win a league championship for several years. feel!

Feng Shui turns around, come to my house this year! Just like Juventus, after the phone call, they have been hibernating honestly, licking the wounds left by the players when they left in the turmoil of the year! Accumulate strength, train young players, and wait for this Inter Milan to pass its peak period, then look for opportunities to regain everything that belongs to them!

For Chelsea, the Premier League powers are at their absolute peak. Even if the opponent is Juventus, who beats the Champions League Sixteen Lang and becomes the first in the group, Chelsea are still confident that their strength absolutely has the upper hand!

However, self-confidence is a good thing, but it is not good to underestimate the enemy!

For Hiddink, he made a good start to the league when he took office, and now he has come to the Champions League stadium that Abramovich values ​​most. As a "fire fighting" coach, he can't lose the chain in the first Champions League match either!

For the Italian team, the kind of chain defense learned from the mother's womb, although Chelsea must strengthen the attack at home, strive to win the home game!

But in the process of pursuing offense, you still have to be careful of opponents' counterattacks. After all, if the Italian team is allowed to take a big lead in the two rounds, then under the tenacious defense of the Italians, it is really not. Sure, it will make you come back easily!

Due to Malouda's injury, he still has not recovered! Hiddink, who has no wing players available, dare not continue to use 433's offensive formation in this game!

Although Yang Feng is guarding in the rear defense, there is such a big loophole for the Serie A giants to counterattack, as long as they are caught once, Chelsea may fall into a deadly place!

Kalu was placed on the bench this time in the Champions League game! He was replaced by Joe Cole, who did not get a chance to play in the last league game!

Joe Cole has been plagued by injuries this season, but in the limited playing time, Joe Cole's performance is quite satisfactory!

And although he is currently playing an offensive midfielder position, he has also had experience playing wingers before!

Compared with Deco, who cannot guarantee physical fitness in a week's double games, Joe Cole not only has plenty of physical fitness, but the key is to ensure the team's changes on the offensive end!

With Lampard behind him to help organize the offense, and Barack and Mikel intercepting opponents to take charge of the defense, Hiddink hopes that this 442 formation can produce better chemistry on the offensive end when there is plenty of defense. Reaction, for the team to win at home!

Yang Feng and Terry are still teaming up with the central defender. They will face the impact of Juventus striker Amauri and veteran Piero!

As Trezeguet has been plagued by injuries this season and rarely played, Yang Feng missed the opportunity to compete with the French celebrity he has always liked!

After the start of the game, both the host and the guest were in a 442 formation, with the tip of the needle facing Maimang!

It's just that because Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge at home in the first leg, the players' positions are more offensive, while Juventus in the away game only intends to hold a draw and return to Italy to make a final decision! So it's more defensive!

It's just that Juventus's iron-blooded defense is not so indestructible in the face of Chelsea, who has a strong offensive ability!

The forward combination of Drogba and Anelka is good at grasping all the opportunities that arise. Drogba can always rely on his strong body to grab a header in the fight for the top, posing a great threat to Juventus goalkeeper Buffon!

In the midfield position, Joe Cole had a rare opportunity to start, and his performance was extremely active. He ran around on the court and connected the teams. Hiddink completely built him into a free agent, allowing him to play freely and disrupt Juventus. Line of defense!

And Ballack also has Lampard's long-range shooting ability, which is also extremely good. In the process of breaking dense defense, long-range shooting is always the most direct, easiest, and most effective way!

In the game, the two constantly used long shots to try to break Buffon's goal for the team!

It's just a pity that Buffon, as a world-class goalkeeper, performed extremely well in this game! Did not give the home team too many opportunities!

In the first half, after the two sides met with a goalless draw, in the second half, Chelsea, after continuing to try multiple long shots without results, could only start to make Joe Cole a winger, and then paired with the two full-backs who came up with assists to start England's best The traditional wing pass!

Fortunately, the team has Drogba in the penalty area, the hardest forward in the world!

Under constant suppression, Chelsea naturally have a lot of corner kick opportunities!

Finally in the 78th minute of the game, due to the previous corner kick tactics, Yang Feng and Terry also threatened Juventus’s goal. After sharing most of the defensive attention for Drogba, this was emphasized from the beginning. The Fengba, who was marking the defense, finally got a slightly looser space!

And Drogba was also a fatal blow, seizing the time when Juventus's defense was weakened, and directly in the corner kick tactics, resisting the defensive players in the zone to take off, shaking his head and attacking the goal!

The position on the top of the header is extremely tricky. Even if Buffon, who is in the middle of the goal, reacts, he does not have enough time to fly to block the header!

In this way, with Drogba's header, Chelsea finally ended the first leg with a 1-0 lead at Stamford Bridge!

In the second round they will head to Italy to face the fierce home court Juventus's crazy counterattack!

As for Chelsea's defensive end! Due to Chelsea’s midfield control and defensive ability, and Juventus has always maintained a defensive position, in this game, the striker composed of Amauri and Piero did not get much support from teammates, so There is no chance to pose a big threat to Chelsea!

Yang Feng even destroyed Juventus’s rare counterattack opportunities directly. As a result, Juventus had very few counterattacks. He could only rely on a few rare advancing opportunities to make a few long shots in wàiwéi. , To increase the shooting data!

Yang Feng's first UEFA Champions League match was completed with his fairly normal performance, not as magnificent and brilliant as he imagined!

However, the victory in this game, for Yang Feng, can be regarded as revenge for his old club Zenit!

In the group stage, Zenit was divided into group h, and he was stabilized by the two giants of Real Madrid and Juventus. In the end, he was only third in the group!

After defeating Juventus and one step closer to promotion, Chelsea will continue to sit at home in the league three days later to meet the seventh-ranked Wigan Athletic!

Unlike their previous opponent Villa, who has a strong offensive power at home, Wigan Athletic who also performed well this season, the basis for good results is their strong defensive ability!

In the last 10 Premier League games, Wigan Athletic’s defense only lost 4 goals, making it the most stable defense in the Premier League!

Of course, such an excellent defense is at the expense of the team's offense in exchange for!

Three consecutive 0-0 matches proved that although this Wigan Athletic has a solid defense, its offensive level is really not above the level!

Faced with such a defensive and strong offensive team, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge must of course prioritize the pursuit of offense, the pursuit of goals, and strive to win the game!

Continuing to use the 433 formation of the previous league game, Hiddink faced this kind of offensive situation, which was a rough three striker to increase the team's offensive firepower!

And Yang Feng went to see his opponent's regular starter, he really didn't have a familiar player!

A true civilian team!

As for the opponent forward he needs to guard against, the Egyptian Zaki, Yang Feng is sure that he will definitely not play out in later generations!

Yang Feng remembers that when he started watching the Premier League a few years later in his previous life, he didn't seem to have survived this man! It should be going to other countries to play, or mixing in the lower league!

On their home court, Chelsea launched a fierce attack when they came up!

Wigan Athletic has a 451 formation. All members retreat to half-court defense. And because of the previous Aston Villa example, the coach of Wigan Athletic has already targeted Chelsea's possible three forward formation. Enough preparation!

Since Drogba and Anelka are the kind of players with outstanding personal ability, instead of consuming too many personnel and restricting them, they may not be able to restrict them. It is better to directly cut off the source of their goals. !

Wigan Athletic used two central defenders to target Anelka and Drogba respectively, but they launched crazy pressing in the midfield and the wing, using physical strength to run, and constant physical confrontation to limit Other Chelsea players, feed the ball to the striker!

For Kalu, the lowest profile of the three forwards, Wigan players also sent the fastest defensive midfielder to defend against him. Wigan Athletic doesn’t want to make the mistake of Aston Villa. For Chelsea’s players, everyone All have enough attention!

Wigan Athletic's comprehensive defense makes Chelsea at home, although from the beginning, they occupy an absolute advantage in the game, but actually created few good opportunities!

Especially Drogba, because he was really awkward to play in the opening stage, he could not get the pass from his teammates in the penalty area, and the ball could not be touched. In addition, the opponent's constant small action harassment did not control his anger. After receiving a rare football, but not destroying the opponent's central defender, I felt a little bad, and the action was a bit big when the counter-robbing was on the spot, and I got a yellow card directly!

After a full 30 minutes of offense, Chelsea tried all their offensive methods. Lampard and Ballack both shot a few long shots, but there was no good effect. In the end, Chelsea could only rely on set shots. Come to break the deadlock!

In an opponent's defense, facing Bosingwa's breakthrough, he paid a foul on the right wing and Chelsea got a good free kick opportunity!

Although the angle of direct hitting is not enough, it is indeed an extremely suitable position for passing!

Lampard did his part and refused to let the land take the free kick, took a huge arc, and accurately found the forward Terry!

Because of Drogba, Anelka and even Yang Feng all rushed forward to the point and played an excellent screen for the back point Terry, which attracted the attention of a large number of defenders and other defenders. !

Lampard's free kick was also extremely well controlled, and it was sent to the back point accurately according to the tactics!

Through a run-up, Terry directly flew out under the effect of inertia, almost diving to the top, and the ball was pushed into the goal!

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Chelsea relied on the central defender and captain Terry's header in the free kick tactic to get a 1-0 lead!

Although Wigan Athletic was behind in the score, when the Chelsea players had planned to wait for Wigan Athletic to attack, they took advantage of the situation and scored another goal, but Wigan Athletic continued to maintain their defensive position. They did not lose a goal because of one. And panic or anxious to attack!

Still sticking to his defense, there is no plan to attack, the first half of the game also ended in this slightly tedious offensive and defensive battle, Chelsea only led by one goal in the half!

For Wigan Athletic, one goal behind is definitely easier to get back than two goals behind!

In the final stage of the first half, they continued to insist on defense, that is, they must continue to insist on completing the tactic after the score is behind!

This kind of civilian team has achieved a strict level of the execution of the game tactics. They believe that their coach will make the most suitable tactical changes for them during the intermission!

In the second half, Wigan Athletic continued to ensure its defense, while focusing on strengthening the penetration of the Chelsea wing!

The Wigan Athletic coaching staff who studied the video of Yang Feng's game ~lightnovelpub.net~ strictly restricted their own players and used long passes to find the passing methods of wing players. Instead, they used short passes and ground passes. Fight against the open side of Chelsea!

In this game, Yang Feng, because of his opponent's offense and passing, mostly circumvented himself, and he rarely had the opportunity to play his own level!

However, in the face of the excellent defensive ability of Chelsea's midfield, the offense of the visiting team Wigan Athletic is also extremely entangled. Most offenses rely on the player's long shot to complete the end and try to get the set kick as much as possible. opportunity!

When an ordinary team faces a giant team, the set-piece is definitely the easiest way to score!

Both teams performed extremely well on the defensive end in the second half, and the game was very anxious, but Chelsea's 1-0 lead determines that they can continue to score 3 points at home!

It's just that the visiting team players, the opportunity to prove themselves in front of the giants, don't want to miss it like this!

And Yang Feng, in a real sense, also encountered the head of the Premier League professional league, here is the most competitive Premier League, Yang Feng is far from reaching the best level!
