Football’s First Defender

Chapter 175: Ivan playing confident

After Ivanovic jumped to complete the header, his eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the football!

Ivanovic, who jumped from the back, didn't use the lion's head to attack the goal to pursue the angle. Instead, he jumped up and used his neck to push the ball down firmly!

Because the opponent goalkeeper Reina’s reaction speed is extremely fast, and the tall hand is long, and the header is not dead, if it is too high, it will be easier to be taken off by Reina. Ivanovic simply pushed the ball down. Let Reina not be able to lower the center of gravity to block the ball!

Facts proved that Ivanovic’s choice was right. Reina was in a very good state of the game. Seeing that the ball was hit by Yang Feng from the previous position, the top returned to the goal, and he stood near the goal post before preventing Yang Feng from hitting directly. Reina at the door immediately moved laterally to the middle!

When Ivanovic headed the ball, Reina did not actually lose his defensive position!

However, with such a close-range header attack, Reina's own technical characteristics are biased towards traditional goalkeepers. He has all his skills in his hands, but he will not make full use of his legs and feet like De Gea in the future. , Waiting for all body parts to block the ball, Reina was obviously affected by his own high center of gravity during the process of falling to the ground, and the ball was not blocked!

The football flew into the goal from about 10 cm below Reina's palm!

"GOAL!"

"Chelsea! Scored another header in the second half!"

"The creator of this goal is still Ivanovic, the hero of the first half, he scored twice in this game!"

"Hiddink! This man is really amazing!"

"It's hard to imagine that Ivanovic, who played very few games throughout the season and never scored a goal, was actually pushed by Hiddink to the main point of set-kick tactics in this game. That's it!"

"A double brace! In the quarter-elimination round of the Champions League, he scored twice in a sports battle, and he is still a substitute defender who has not played for a long time!"

"Ivanovic, with his outstanding performance in this game, returned the trust of the Dutchman on the coach's bench who dared to use him!"

"Of course, for this goal, Ivanovic would also like to thank his teammate Yang Feng, who pushed the ball to the center for him. It was not that Yang Feng had such a good header with a parabola, and he did not let it this time. A chance for Ivanovic to perform!"

After confirming the goal, Ivanovic ran to Yang Feng, who gave himself a header assist, but after completing the header, he fell directly to the ground because of the cat waist and sprint speed!

The two elder brothers who were on the fringe of Chelsea in the first half of the season and could hardly get a chance to play, each showed their best performance in this game!

The Chelsea players celebrated the joy of scoring in front of Liverpool's goal, and the joy and excitement after the score came back!

But the players on the Liverpool field, the fans at Anfield, and Benitez on the sidelines are all bitter at this time!

In the second half of the game, Benitez did not intend to start offense. After all, it is his home court. Benitez believes that as the game progresses, due to the impact of physical fitness in the final time, there will be home fans cheering on his own team. With the blessing of the sound, the final stage of the game is the golden opportunity for Liverpool to start and strive to win the game!

However, as expected, the situation where the two sides were evenly matched for most of the second half did not happen. Perhaps Benitez himself underestimated Chelsea’s determination to attack in away games, and Chelsea players’ implementation of tactics. force!

In the opening phase of the second half, when Chelsea launched an offensive, Benitez’s first thought was to wait and see. If Chelsea continue to stick to the attacking tactics and stick to the infinite wing pass, then

You have to make targeted deployments, first defend for a while, strive for the second place of the ball, and then immediately counterattack!

However, the wait-and-see time has not lasted much. Liverpool's own defense was once again penetrated by the opposing full-back. It was the header of the substitute full-back Ivanovic!

Benitez is very tired, just header, so difficult to defend? Why does his own player head the ball at the offensive end, either top-flight or top-side, this opponent's header, all wonderful, so that goalkeeper Reina can do nothing!

Moreover, the tactics of their own defensive players gathering in the middle when facing Chelsea's corner kick, just let it go, don't you know how to insert people into it? Don't know how to hold the area firmly?

He just followed the Chelsea players ignorantly, and Yang Feng ran to the front point and even forward, basically there is no dangerous position for the angle of the door. Kuyt has also caught up in time, Benitez I don’t know why Lucas, who is in charge of the defensive area and not the man, should abandon the middle position and move forward. Is it to show his enthusiasm?

Of course, all the distress can only be borne by yourself, even if you have to scold your mother, it is when you return to the dressing room after the game, or when the game is resumed. Now, on the field, the game is far from over, Benitez Also rely on the existing players to earn their face back!

This is Anfield, this is the first leg of the Champions League knockout round. Benitez can't afford to lose and doesn't want to lose!

Back in the game, the Chelsea players after the overtake score, as well as their own coach Hiddink, all understand that since they have taken the opponent's advantage in the away game, they must be ready to meet the anger of the local host and be careful!

The 2 to 1 lead, for Chelsea, has already exceeded the goal set before the game. The rest is whether it can hold the victory and return to Stamford Bridge with the advantage!

However, unlike the conservative thinking of the players and some assistant coaches, Hiddink, but had no plans, just defended a victory like this!

Be a little conservative at this stage, meet Liverpool's anger, and defend yourself well! But he still has to continue to ensure the threat of offense, to ensure the pressure on Liverpool, rather than simply passively beaten!

When the assistant coach of the original Chelsea team asked if Mikel and Bosingwa were required to warm up to replace the players on the field and strengthen the team's defense, Hiddink just shook his head!

In the end, I just chose to simply let these two people warm up with other substitute players to ensure the body heat, but did not make a clear statement that they would replace the two!

Hiddink should also watch carefully to see if the players on the team's field can hold on to the defense and guard against Liverpool's crazy counterattack at home. If so, Hiddink hopes that he can use his own offensive ability on the field. , It is best to stab Liverpool again!

After Liverpool fell behind in the score, he put Bao on his offensive ability!

As a traditional Premier League giant, although Liverpool's league results this season have ups and downs, it is also a Premier League team that can compete with Manchester United. Liverpool's offensive methods are naturally very rich!

At the critical moment, Liverpool also showed all of their offensive methods, and against Chelsea's defensive weakness, it was a fierce attack!

"Riela is more active on the field! The opponent's right back Ivanovic has played his biggest role in this game. In the set-kick tactics, he scored two goals. Now the pressure is on Riera's side!"

"He has to target the defensive weakness brought by Ivanovic to play, to continue to tear apart, Chelsea show a tight defense in the center, to ensure the smooth progress of Liverpool's attack!"

"Riela takes the ball and prepares to break through!"

"After falling behind in the score, Liverpool's left-back Aurelio also got a signal from Benitez and jumped into the offense significantly to help Riera get involved with Chelsea's other wide players and give Riera a chance. Have a 1v1 duel with Ivanovic on the wing!"

"Riela! I want to attack Ivanovic directly, simply and brutally!"

"But! It seems to be thinking too much!"

Although Ivanovic's tall height makes it impossible to turn around and chase as fast as other full-backs, Ivanovic's speed and frontal defensive ability are not as bad as ordinary people think!

Lieira simply forced a breakthrough, he must be asking for trouble, not to mention that Ivanovic in this game has already shown confidence and is no longer the timid new player before!

"Ivanovic went directly to grab a step, engaged in a physical confrontation, and broke the ball directly when Riera was unstable!"

"Riela was beckoning to complain to the referee, but the referee didn't say anything~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a normal physical contact!"

"Chelsea's counterattack opportunity, Ivanovic passed the ball directly to Lampard, who has run near the center circle!"

"Lampard ran a few steps with the ball!"

"Seeing that Malouda on the left has moved forward quickly and has an advantage in the position competition with Aveiroa on the left!"

"Lampard made a long pass directly over the top and passed the ball deep to the left!"

"This pass was given a lot in advance, allowing Malouda to chase the football directly without slowing down!"

"Malouda's strong body did not give Aveiroa a chance to start at full speed during the running, and there was no error in stopping and unloading the ball!"

"Continuously unloading the ball to lead the ball, Malouda went straight into the penalty area diagonally!"

"Averoa, as a last resort, I can only choose to put the shovel directly behind the side, hoping to stop Malouda, even if it pays for the foul!"

"But Malouda was very alert. Seeing Aveiroa's movements, he took off in large strides, avoided the flying shovel, and continued to drive diagonally into the restricted area!"

"But I passed one, but I can't live the second!"

"Scotter has patched up his defenses and blocked Malouda's route!"

However, for Malouda, the goal has been achieved. One drags two on the wing, and he has also brought out the defensive strength in Liverpool's penalty area. The rest only needs to look at his teammates!

"Malouda, there is no greedy attack, pass the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area!"

"Drogba rushed to him!"

"Shoot directly!"

"This ball!"

"Full of power!"

"But! The force is too strong!"

"Slightly above the crossbar, Drogba missed the perfect opportunity to give the team a lead!"
