Football’s First Defender
Chapter 178: Conquer Anfield!
For Torres, he thinks he can do no more! Although the kick just hit the goal, he can take another step in the running, slow down a little, swing his legs, and increase the power of the shot!
But the time to complete all these actions will definitely take more preparation time, which will also increase the chance that you will be caught up by Yang Feng and Terry from the other side to complete the blocked shot!
Therefore, Torres does not regret choosing the way of shooting. This is the best choice for a striker at the moment of the goal. Although the strength is not strong, the shooting angle is sufficiently tricky to avoid the goalkeeper's save and roll to the goal. However, Yang Feng's goal turned out to be to clear the siege directly on the door line instead of running to block himself!
Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans on the sidelines sighed. This may be Liverpool's most threatening attack in the second half, but the team still has not scored a goal!
This made Yang Feng, who blocked this must-go goal, the goal of the fans to vent his anger, noise hits, and every time Yang Feng touches the ball, there will be boos all over the sky, but Yang Feng turned a deaf ear to it! Anyway, my English is not very good. If my brain doesn't force translation, it will be noisy and it won't get in the way!
The game continues, but as the game progresses, Chelsea players will inevitably experience a state of decline in physical fitness!
At this time, Liverpool, playing at home, obviously regained the initiative in attacking and can create more attacking opportunities!
There is no way. For professional players, although their psychological quality is excellent, under the interference of the tens of thousands of home fans from their opponents, it is more or less affected. The mental fatigue will also be exerted on the body. , So that players consume more in the process of running!
In addition, Chelsea was already in a defensive counterattack during the second half, and the initiative was in Liverpool's hands, which naturally caused Chelsea's defense to be in a state of tension all the time, and it must continue to run to maintain a defensive formation!
The decline in physical fitness can't change the Chelsea players' dedication to the quality of defense!
Physical strength drops, so rely on appropriate fouls to ensure the quality of defense! Anyway, Chelsea's players are not afraid of opponents' positioning ball tactics. The absolute advantage of high ball contention also provides a firm guarantee for Chelsea's foul tactics!
First, Kalu was on the right side of the defense, because the Liverpool Brazilian left back Aurelio used a fake move to make a clean. In desperation, Kalu could only choose to use a foul to block instead of letting Ore. Leo breaks through, and Riera poses a greater danger to Ivanovic!
The referee did not ignore this foul, which was obviously a blocking tactic. The topaz card directly warned Kalu!
Liverpool, on the left side, won an excellent set kick!
This time, Liverpool players want to give it a try and see if they can use this excellent free kick position to allow their players to complete the header!
Because of the free kick in this position, a big arc can be taken. This time the header in the penalty area needs to be completed in the forward run. Chelsea's height advantage, under this kind of pass, is The smallest advantage!
Skrtel, Carragher, Kuyt, and even Gerrard are in the penalty area, eager to try!
Chelsea's players are also concentrated, staring at the serve Harvey Alonso intently!
"Xavi Alonso, run up, pass!"
"A big arc! Flew to the back point of the small restricted area!"
"For this ball, Chelsea goalkeeper Cech didn't have time to attack. He could only rely on the header between the players to fight for it!"
"Both parties are squeezing backwards!"
"Among the crowd, the most prominent is Yang Feng!"
Yang Feng took off after the run-up! When the forward jump reached the highest point, the head just hit the football, and the ball was directly pushed out of the bottom line to complete the clearance! And Yang Feng left and right, whether it was Scott or Gerrard, although they all wanted to compete for the top, they all became Yang Feng's defeaters!
"Yang Feng made a header to clear the siege, Liverpool's corner kick!"
Maybe it's also with the passage of time, or the opportunity just now is really a pity. For Liverpool, it is inevitable to be impatient on the offensive end!
In this corner kick, Liverpool did not choose to continue the previous tactical corner kick. Instead, Xavi Alonso also drove the ball into the penalty area!
"In the penalty area, Scotter is vying for a header with Terry!"
"The two competed for a close match! This goal, Scotter's header from a high point, hit Terry's head, over the crossbar, out of the baseline, and continue Liverpool's corner kick opportunity!"
In the simple corner kick tactics, it is obvious that Liverpool still occupies the disadvantaged side. At this time, some special tactics are needed to see if they can achieve unexpected results!
"This time, Xavi Alonso chose to serve the ball outside the penalty area. A sudden choice, he directly looked for Gerrard at the top of the penalty area!"
"Geraldella is ready to take a stand!"
"The ball hits the leg, just keep the ball and volley!"
"Gerard!"
"Reproduce the classic corner kick between Scholes and Beckham?"
"The ball flew to the right side of the goal! No one in between! Another classic moment?"
"Cech!"
"Once again ruthlessly rejected this wonderful long shot! In this game, Cech was on the goal line. I don't know how many times he broke it. Liverpool made a wonderful shot!"
"This time, Cech guarded the door behind him again, smashing Liverpool's hopes once again!"
"Cech blocked the ball out of the baseline with a single palm after landing. It is still Liverpool's corner kick, the third consecutive corner kick!"
Cech’s brave performance has obviously put a lot of pressure on Liverpool’s offensive players. Logically speaking, this kind of serial corner kicks should be when the offensive is on the rise. It should be attacked wave after wave, crushing the opposing defense. opportunity!
But at this moment, the Liverpool players, because of the continuous offense to no avail, especially the world wave of Gerrard just now was ruthlessly rejected, they are a little frustrated!
In the end, Harvey Alonso, who chose to serve the ball into the penalty area again, watched Yang Feng and once again succeeded in heading the ball. Only this time, Yang Feng had little interference with him, so he had room to get the ball. Give it to your comrades, not just get out!
"Yang Feng competed for this corner kick and directly gave the ball to Kalu who returned to the defense on the right. Chelsea's counterattack opportunity!"
"Return to defense!" Benitez on the sidelines yelled to his players to quickly return to defense and don't leave Chelsea with a chance to counterattack!
However, Chelsea has been waiting for this counter-attack for a long time, and finally caught it, how could it be easily missed?
"After Kalu got the ball, he moved forward at full speed!"
"Liverpool is defending from the rear with two full-backs, and Aurelio stepped forward directly, hoping to organize Kalu!"
Seeing that Aurelio had the intention of fouling and wanted to stop his dribbling, Kalu was also an old fritter on the offensive end, so naturally he would not give him a chance to end this counterattack with a yellow card!
"Kalu, choose to pass the ball directly back to Ballack who also comes in at full speed!"
"I continue to follow the right road and penetrate into the hinterland of Liverpool!"
After receiving the ball, Ballack was also watching the front while continuing to run forward to see if Kalu had a better chance or Malouda on the left could compete with Aveiroa. In, take a better advantage!
Of course, Ballack is also avoiding being caught up by Liverpool players and wasting this excellent chance of 3 fights 2 counterattack by fouling!
Other players, both offensive and defensive, are desperately rushing into Liverpool's penalty area. At this time, no one can slow down, and everyone is desperate. Liverpool's current situation, especially can't afford the third goal!
Ballack finally chose to pass the ball to the Kalu side who continued to advance!
Malouda did not completely get rid of Aveiroa this time, but Aurelio's personal defensive ability is weaker, and Barack chooses to believe in Kalu's ability!
"Barack, there was a through ball to the right, a big lead. Kallu and Aurelio competed directly on the right for absolute speed!"
"Because Aurelio is already the last defender besides the goalkeeper at this moment, so he doesn't dare to foul blatantly, so he may be punished directly!"
"In terms of competition speed, because this through ball is closer to Kalu, Kalu clearly has an absolute advantage!"
"After receiving the ball! Kalu slowed down and turned and cut inward!"
"Aurelio quickly retreat!"
"But this is a fake move. After Kallu lied to Aurelio, he continued to play!"
"The fastest follow-up in the middle is of course Ballack! But Liverpool's Lucas is also desperately chasing back, trying to limit Ballack's reception within the penalty area!"
"After Kalu hits the bottom, there should be no other choice but to pass!"
"Barack rush forward!"
"Kalu crossed!"
Each team’s ace substitute player has its own philosophy of survival. Although they may not be the main force of the team most of the time, they definitely have their own special features, allowing the head coach to be in need of manpower. At that time, I thought of him the first time!
Kalu is such a striker. Although he can’t compete with a superstar like Drogba, Kaluki’s excellent and stable shooting ability, fairly good wing breakthrough ability, plus the critical moment, his passing is finally It is enough on the court to find the weakest point of the opponent's defense and find the most critical offensive player of your own!
"For this ball, Kalu's pass was a bit too high for Ballack who was at the previous point!"
"Behind!"
"The empty place near the penalty spot!"
"Drogba!"
"Drogba is running at full speed!"
When just defending the corner kick, seeing Yang Feng contend for the corner kick, Drogba has already begun to run forward with all his strength, ready to participate in the counterattack!
Although the distance from one penalty area to another is somewhat long, Drogba thought that he had not scored a goal in this game, but wasted a lot of opportunities, so he naturally had motivation. He wanted to justify himself. !
Both players are desperately chasing back, but in everyone's thinking, they all think that the most threatening point of the attack is the three who Chelsea ran in front. After Ballack passed the ball to Kalu, Liverpool Aveiroa followed Malouda, and Lucas desperately chased him back, finally catching Ballack was trying his best to interfere, or Kalu did it alone. However, with Kalu's bottom, the pass is inevitable, so Liverpool players must be optimistic about the two Chelsea players in the penalty area.
Barak, who rushed forward, was still Malouda who was still moving from the left to the center!
But for Drogba, except for Gerrard, no one really noticed him, to restrict him!
After all, the two central defenders facing Drogba, because of the corner kick tactics just now, are still back to defense at full speed, but it is a fact that the speed is too slow to catch up, and they are still suffering!
Now, in the restricted area, the space in the middle is waiting for Drogba to use it!
"Wow! Drogba! Coming in strides, just take off!"
"Leap high, keep balance in the air, and head for the top!"
"Reina, take off quickly to the right, leaping into the air and fluttering sideways!"
"But Drogba's header is based on the accumulation of kinetic energy from the forward thrust ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ speed, strength, and angle are all outstanding!"
"Go straight to the upper left corner of the goal! Reina, who jumped to his right hand to save, can only look at the ball and sigh!"
"GOAL!"
"Drogba! Ivorian Warcraft Drogba!"
"A wonderful header contributed by running from one penalty area to another!"
"Scored the third goal of the game for Chelsea!"
"Chelsea now leads the score 3-1!"
"This is Liverpool's home court! At Anfield! Liverpool was almost in desperation in the first leg!"
In 78 minutes of the game, Drogba's header not only killed the suspense of the game, it might also completely kill the suspense of the two rounds of promotion! With a two-goal advantage and three away goals, back at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool fans can no longer accept this fact!
Chelsea, with their targeted tactics, three headers, completely penetrated Liverpool's defense!
Chelsea’s players were celebrating. Hiddink was smiling from the sidelines. Chelsea fans on the away expedition burst into great cheers. Only the red fans in the stadium who occupied the mainstream color were a little lamented!
And Drogba, the scoring hero, was a bit relieved! Although the team has been keeping the lead before, but the few great opportunities he missed have been stuck in Drogba’s throat like a fishbone. Now, with this goal, he can finally rest assured Shout, rest assured to celebrate!
