Chapter 168: League round off the UEFA Champions Leag
After an easy victory over Manchester City at home, Chelsea will be a guest at White Hart Lane in this round of the game to challenge their city rivals Tottenham!
Tottenham at this time is not the core member of the big6 Premier League in the next few years. No matter how strong your other teams are, Tottenham, who can still play in the Champions League while making money, is the absolute stranger of the Premier League afterwards!
Today's Tottenham team should be similar to the traditional Premier League team Everton has always been in the Premier League. It is more than the best!
Speaking of the team going directly to compete in the Champions League zone, the strength is still not so interesting, some toads want to eat swan meat! But if Spurs are in danger of being relegated, Spurs are casually waved in the late stages of every season, so don't worry too much about not having enough points!
As for Tottenham’s accidental fall into the relegation zone at the beginning of the season, it’s because Tottenham sold so much during the summer transfer period, patronizing themselves made a lot of money!
The two forwards and many main players were all sold clean, but the newly introduced players were a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the Premier League!
However, in the winter transfer window, Tottenham repurchased Keane, who had been dissatisfied in Liverpool, to enhance their strength on the front line, which is equivalent to borrowing their own striker from Liverpool for half a year, but collected nearly 10 million in net profit rent. Now I took it back for my own use!
The most important sign in the summer, Croatian Modric, as the number of matches increased, finally gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, began to play his strength in the midfield!
For Modric, this heroic midfielder who will break Messi and Ronaldo’s ten-year monopoly on the Golden Globes in the future, and lead Real Madrid and Croatia to create historical records, is called "Mom" by countless Melinger. Of the players, Yang Feng is familiar and can no longer be familiar!
For this absolute idol player in his previous life, Yang Feng is also excited about being able to compete with himself in this game, and is looking forward to the game! I look forward to having the opportunity to have a direct conversation with "Mo Ma" on the court!
Perhaps it was the last game, Manchester City's 532 formation inspired Hiddink. In this London Derby game, even if it was an away game against White Hart Lane, Hiddink continued to release himself in his tactical choices!
Anyway, Yang Feng did not expect that his own coach Hiddink would unexpectedly give it a try, and it would feel like playing 5 guards!
The famous name is to exercise the team's defensive ability after assuming a lead, and prepare for the final stage of the knockout stage of the future cup! And Tottenham, which is playing at home, is a team that tends to play offensively, and it happens to be a touchstone!
The width and length of the Bailu Lane are slightly smaller than the normal ones, and it is a perfect venue for counterattacks after being suitable for defense!
However, unexpectedly, in this game, Chelsea, the regular double forwards Drogba and Anelka remain unchanged, the midfielder is the regular three generals Essien, Lampard, Ballack, five defenders Among them, one more is Brazilian Beletti!
Originally, with Scolari’s dismissal, Belletti hadn’t appeared in the roster for a long time, but he wanted the defensive strength of five guards and wanted to add more wing attack elements to the starting lineup. Hiddink, still put the Brazilian border international into the starting lineup!
After doing the defensive work of the five guards, Hiddink hopes that Belletti can transform into a wing breaker at any time when attacking, helping the full back to open the wing corridor!
However, the final result of this attempt is indeed questionable!
Throughout the game, from the very beginning, Tottenham, who played at home, was closely connected with the core of the midfielder Modric, firmly grasping the initiative of the game!
Hiddink didn't pay much attention to Modric, a small character who just landed in the Premier League before the game, but this time he did suffer a big loss because of his carelessness!
With Modric's passing series, as well as his own, from time to time to break through and create opportunities after getting rid of the place, Chelsea's three midfielders have excellent defensive capabilities, but they are still somewhat stretched in defense!
This allowed Tottenham’s offense to be carried out in an orderly manner, and even formed a complete suppression of Chelsea in the opening stage!
However, Hiddink happened to have the purpose of testing Chelsea's defensive level. This goal was indeed achieved in this way!
Under the constant offensive of the home team Tottenham, although Chelsea’s midfielder has a little more than enough energy on the defensive end because of the lack of numbers, the five-back system has indeed contained Tottenham’s double forwards. Yes, even whether it is Yang Feng or Terry, at most critical times, they can complete the grab well to destroy Tottenham's offense!
Throughout the first half, Tottenham had a rare opportunity to suppress the giants. Of course, they were happily helping Chelsea to hone the five-back defensive lineup. Chelsea did a great defensive squad, but they still have a counterattack. Many defects. The main reason is that the five defenders have to focus on defense. When the first opportunity to counterattack appears, Chelsea's two wings, in front of the midfielder with the ball, are always empty!
There is no wide player in the counterattack to attract the opponent's defensive attention and open the opponent's defensive formation, but blindly find Drogba or Anelka directly, after being familiar with the opponent center back, it is difficult to create again A very good opportunity!
At the end of the half, the two teams turned in a goalless draw!
Just when Hiddink planned to hold on for a short period of time in the second half to see the quality of this lineup, and to prepare for the final 30 minutes to make substitutions, Modric started with a wonderful world wave at the beginning of the second half. The upper score was rewritten to 1 to 0!
With this wonderful long-range goal, the Bailu Lane Stadium instantly turned into a sea of joy! The fans were cheering and shouting, expressing their support for the home team and their desire for the title of "King of London"!
As for the goal itself, it was actually created by Modric's own signature offensive method!
Even though Magic Flute does not have such strong physical fitness, its grasp of rhythm and handling of some details are indeed world-class! Whether it is now or in the future in Real Madrid, the sudden breakthrough of the magic flute after catching the ball will always cause great pressure on the defender!
Especially after approaching the defender, turning around and changing backwards to accelerate the ability to get rid of, has always been Magic Flute's special skill!
This offensive method, in the later Real Madrid period, even the world-class midfielders of many teams were helpless when defending the Magic Flute!
However, this offensive method requires Magic Flute to devote himself to the game, adjust his game state to the best, and be willing to consume his physical strength to complete these technical actions!
Therefore, the magic flute of Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League afterwards is the best magic flute! Even most of the time, Magic Flute has focused his mental attention on the Champions League and performed mediocre in the league! It is because every time the team needs to break through the opponent's defense in a strong matchup, Magic Flute can always stand up suddenly and use his breakthrough to forcefully create opportunities!
For the Real Madrid that shocked the whole of Europe, in the battle of positions, the strongest offensive method is Marcelo's own personal ability on the left, and the second one may be the magic flute. Get rid of it!
Every successful escape is a huge disaster for the opponent's tight defense!
After the midfielder is completely freed, Magic Flute alone can upset the opponent's entire defense line up!
You don't send anyone to help defend Modric. The Magic Flute is a long-range shot without interference. The defensive team throws thunder at the goalkeeper!
Go forward and make up for defense. The world-class short pass ability of Magic Flute is also a great deterrent to defenders!
In the future, I don’t know how many teams, after assisting in the defense of the Magic Flute, were ecstatically thrown into the ball, creating better opportunities for their teammates in the penalty area!
This time, in the face of Lampard's defense in the game, Modric used slightly immature technical moves ~lightnovelpub.net~ to be able to cleanly pass Lampard in one step!
After that, even if Yang Feng had expected Modric to shoot and wanted to block it, but it was too late. The range of the magic flute was too far!
He did not choose to dribble the ball into the open space in front of him, shortening the goal distance. He didn't give Yang Feng a chance to make up his defense, so he just adjusted it well and shot the goal with a long shot!
The ball was directly drawn out of an arc forcefully, from the outside of the goal, rotating into the goal!
In fact, Cech had already reacted quickly when Modric hit the goal, but facing the arc of the ball from the outside to the inside, there was nothing to do, he couldn't touch it at all!
Tottenham took the lead at home!
In the following game, although Hiddink immediately adjusted his players after losing the ball, replacing Belletti with Malouda, intending to strengthen his team’s offense, but faced with the Tottenham’s leading defense, Chelsea’s Offensive, with possession rate and number of goals, but not too many threats!
Chelsea's midfielder, as if after the first half of the game, directly lost his offensive feeling! Of course, this may also be due to the national team match day. Many international players also need to reserve some of their physical strength to play for the country!
In the end, with Modric's goal in the 50th minute of the second half, Tottenham beat Chelsea 1-0 at home, giving Hiddink their first defeat since coaching the Blues!
While most of the players flew to the national team to report, and even the head coach flew back to Russia to guide the Russian national team, Yang Feng continued to maintain his personal training at Chelsea, and he had to become stronger and change. It has to be more present, because Carvalho's injury has almost recovered, and the competitive pressure of the central defender is coming again!
