Football’s First Defender

Chapter 197: Attack in the second half

During the intermission, Hiddink did not rush to make a large-scale adjustment! It just emphasized that Essien should strengthen the defensive force of Arshavin, and let the offensive players such as Anelka and Kalu warm up after the opening and be ready to play at any time!

Perhaps the 1-0 score at the beginning of the first half was maintained, Hiddink will continue to use the defensive counterattack tactics, lead the snake out of the hole, and rely on solid defense to constantly fight Arsenal's counterattack!

But the score is now a tie. Hiddink, who obviously thinks his team is more powerful, doesn't want to be passively beaten. In case Arsenal play counseling in the second half, then the game is likely to evolve into a drag with Arsenal. The situation of time!

Chelsea will strive to score goals in the second half and resolve the fight in 90 minutes! Hiddink understands that this kind of final battle between powerful players is really dragged into overtime, so it is very likely that he will just rush to kick a brutal penalty shootout!

Perhaps the exciting penalty shootout will make countless neutral fans like it, but for Chelsea, there are no fond memories of a penalty shootout. Taking a penalty kick, for Chelsea, it really has no advantage at all!

Although Hiddink also wants the players to have a real penalty kick exercise before the start of the Champions League game, to avoid the shadow of Moscow's penalty kick in the Champions League final last year, affecting the players' penalty kicks!

However, the FA Cup champion is also a champion! Although the weight of this champion may be really small, don't take beanbags as dry food!

For Hiddink, it is still a bit early to talk about the Champions League champion. Even if he reaches the semi-finals, it is full of unknowns. However, the FA Cup champion is right in front of him. Although it is not within reach, Arsenal's The thickness of the season's lineup is definitely not on par with Chelsea!

Hiddink has already regarded this FA Cup trophy as a consolation prize for his "fire fighting" coach for the past six months. As for the Champions League, whether he can win the big prize will be discussed later!

As far as personnel is concerned, Hiddink is not going to make more adjustments in the half-time. Even if it is to replace other offensive players, it will start the normal play personnel exchange in about 60 minutes!

But even with the existing lineup of players that are more defensive, Hiddink is ready to change his style of play. In order to receive greater results in the subsequent overall offensive tactics, Chelsea will directly attack Arsenal at the beginning of the second half. , Not only to consume the physical strength of Arsenal defensive players, but also to consume the opponent's defensive attention and willpower!

Although Chelsea took the initiative to attack, it is possible to directly face Arsenal's offensive frenzy at the beginning of the second half and play an offensive effect. So at that time, who can take advantage of the scene depends on the performance of the two teams!

"The second half of the game has begun!"

"Both teams did not make personnel adjustments at the beginning of the second half, and continue to maintain their current lineups. This offensive and defensive matchup may continue for some time in the second half!"

"In the first half, it was obviously still in the Premier League. Chelsea, who ranked more prominently, had the absolute initiative on the field!"

"Although Arsenal have always wanted to increase the rate of offense and create more opportunities on the offensive end, Chelsea's defense has remained very tight throughout most of the first half!"

"It's just that in the final stage of the half, Chelsea's pursuit of a more tight defense on the right has made the defense in the middle area loose to a certain extent!"

"Although there was only a slight gap in this defense, Arshavin, directly relying on his strong personal ability, successfully seized the gap, completed the shot in a very short time, and successfully scored Assen. Na's equalized goal!"

"Now, look at Chelsea, what changes will it make at this time?"

"Chelsea organizes an attack! We can clearly see that the positions of Chelsea's two full-backs have been significantly advanced, but Essien and Mikel are both approaching the wing. Chelsea is using full-backs to increase their offense. Thickness, and relying on the defense of two defensive midfielders, to ensure the depth of defense behind Chelsea's two full-backs!"

"Ashley Cole stepped forward more deeply because he has Malouda in front of him, an excellent wing player, with Malouda's cooperation on the wing, Ashley Cole played on the left and assisted. Ability has more room for development!"

"Walcott, obviously his defensive awareness is not so good, he just retreats to his own half according to the tactical arrangement, and restricts and interferes with Ashley Cole's attack!"

"But people are here, God is not!"

"Ashley Cole, after a sudden stop and change of direction, he passed directly!"

"Walcott's defense is really not flattering!"

"Denilson, come here to make up your defense!"

"Ashley Cole didn't have a chance to continue forward, so he chose to pass the ball horizontally!"

"Lampard catches the ball!"

"Faced with the other Arsenal players' defenses, Lampard didn't adjust too much, and hit the goal!"

"Lampard's long shot!"

"This ball!"

"Within the absolute door frame!"

"But Fabianski's performance in this game is very good! An excellent side save, blocking the ball beyond the baseline, Chelsea's corner kick opportunity!"

In fact, this lineup, even if Chelsea want to play an active offense, they can only use the offensive tactics of the previous seasons, relying more on the full-backs to insert the offense, relying on the breakthrough of the side to drive the attack in the middle!

Behind the two full-backs, perhaps it was really a defensive problem in the past, but now, because there are not only Yang Feng who is extremely capable of defending opponents and counterattacks, plus Mikel and Essien two world-class defensive types The defensive ability of the back midfielder can be said to minimize the threat of Arsenal's counterattack!

Even if it is a counter attack, giving Arsenal some chance to counterattack quickly, Hiddink's mind is very clear that Arsenal's offensive personnel may not really be able to penetrate Chelsea's defense!

This is the confidence that Chelsea can switch to offensive mode anytime, anywhere!

"Barack takes a corner kick!"

"Is it Yang Feng again?"

"This time, Bendtner's following defense in the opening stage is still very tight! It doesn't seem to give Yang Feng too much opportunity!"

In fact, Barak really wanted to keep looking for Yang Feng at the beginning! Because Yang Feng also told several teammates who served as the main set ball in the midfield, Bendtner's attention problems when he was marking himself!

But seeing this time, Bendtner's defense seemed to have followed quite well, at least Yang Feng went around from the outside, as if there was no sign of being able to get rid of Bendtner, Ballack didn't force him to continue looking for Yang Feng!

"This corner kick! Ballack was sent outside the penalty area!"

The more superstar you are, the more you dare to play some flowers in the game! The psychological pressure on the superstar players is actually not that great during most of the game! They can play as much as they want for tactical purposes within some time!

Ballack saw that Arsenal's defensive players almost all retreated back to the penalty area to guard against the challenge of several Chelsea players!

And Lampard, who was outside the big penalty area, was moving secretly, avoiding the defender's sight, and going to the empty place beside him. Nasri, who was in charge of defending him, stood still as if dumbfounded, and Barack passed the ball as expected!

The famous works of Manchester United Beckham and Scholes! With the classic corner kick, Ballack also wants to try it boldly!

"Lampard! I hit the door!"

"Direct volley!"

"It's full of power, and it lowers the height! Does the classic reappear?"

"This ball! It hit Koroture's leg!"

"Fly out of the bottom line again!"

"Koroture, this time stretching his legs saved Arsenal and prevented the birth of a classic goal!"

"Lampard's kick at the door, he controlled it very well, watching the replay definitely still hit the door frame!"

"Colo Touré's reaction was very fast this time, and the angle of his leg extension is also very good, otherwise the ball will be refracted if it is not good! It will cause an oolong!"

"Continue Chelsea's corner kick opportunity!"

This time, all the Arsenal players have focused their attention on the defensive end! Barack observed for a long time and found that he had no good chances without his teammates, so he could only choose to get rid of it!

Find a corner pass for Drogba! Although Drogba wanted to rely on himself to create goals for the team, but this ball, under the defense of the two people, Drogba's take-off was not sufficient!

In the end, it was Koroture himself, who scored the header, and Denilsen received the football in the penalty area! Directly dribble the ball, want to push back, Arsenal's quick counterattack opportunity!

Because Bendtner wants to defend Chelsea's set ball back into the penalty area! Arshavin is the offensive player who has always been at the forefront of the Arsenal team!

Arshavin saw Coloture hit the football, and he went straight forward. As Yang Feng had been fighting for a header in the penalty area before, Chelsea's defense did not have absolute defensive assurance this time!

But Chelsea still has an advantage in the number of defenders behind!

The two full-backs even had Ashley Cole, who was close to Arshavin, stepped forward to mark Arshavin, while Bosingwa continued to step back and guard the team's last line of defense!

Due to Chelsea’s full line of defense, pay attention to speed, and the on-the-spot counter-robbing in various positions, Denilson’s advancement, there is no sufficient starting space!

And the passing point nearby, because of the interference of Chelsea chasing players, there is not much passing opportunity!

In the end, Denilsen chose to make a risky long pass to ensure the absolute threat of this counterattack!

A long pass went directly to Arshavin at the front!

"Denilson! Passed! Look for Arshavin who runs deep to the right!"

"Arshavin is in a physical confrontation with Ashley Cole!"

"Arshavin from the Russian Super League, not only has excellent technical ability, but also has no disadvantage in physical confrontation!"

"Both are fighting fiercely! Who gets the ball depends on their luck!"

"Arshavin, when the ball was about to land, he turned his back and walked around, reaching out to touch the ball!"

"Ashley Cole stumbled a bit when he forced the ball but kicked it empty!"

"Arshavin, after successfully picking the ball away, he directly inserted it diagonally, speeding up the ball!"

"Ashley Cole, after being passed by Arshavin, it is a bit difficult to catch up again! But Chelsea's defensive discipline also keeps Ashley Cole behind him!"

"This ball, Arsenal's counterattack, was very successful!"

"In front of Arshavin, Bosingwa is the only defensive player left!"

Bosingwa, did not wait for defense in the penalty area! Regarding the defense of Arshavin, Chelsea's defensive players know from their pre-match understanding that Arshavin's long shot is also a huge threat! Bosingwa did not dare to let Arshavin with this goal, and he had plenty of room to hit the goal close to the penalty area!

"Bossingwati on defense! Want to stop Arshavin!"

"Arshavin, there are interceptions before and after pursuit!"

"At this time, you can only try to get past Bosingwa~lightnovelpub.net~ while dribbling the ball forward at full speed without daring to slow down and make some complicated fake moves!"

"You know, after slowing down, Ashley Cole may rush back to the defensive position!"

Facing Bosingwa, Arshavin knew that he wanted to use a fake move to completely pass Bosingwa with Ashley Cole chasing behind him, and it was definitely not an easy task to get an excellent single-handed shot. !

However, Arshavin still thinks he can get a chance! At this point, Arshavin is confident of himself!

Facing Bosingwa’s forward charge, Arshavin, looking at the timing, forced the ball out to accelerate!

As a defensive player, Bosingwa is the first choice for defense at this time. He must firmly defend the position of the best shot opportunity. Arshavin wants to go inside to get a larger shooting angle. It is absolutely unrealistic. ! But if you want to, there must be something to gain. Bosingwa deliberately defended the inside line, which naturally caused a certain amount of space on the outside line!

"Arshavin dialed the ball out, accelerated, and barely accelerated past Bosingwa, but his shooting angle is not much!"

Although because it is an outward dial, even if it is in the penalty area, the available shooting angle is indeed very small! But for Arshavin, this angle allows him to hit the door directly, which is also an opportunity!

"Arshavin! A small angle forcibly kicks the door!"

"Hit a diagonal corner and run to the upper left corner of the goal!"

"Cech!"

"A wonderful save!"

"Cech didn't get fooled this time, he was guarding the close corner!"

"In terms of stance, taking full account of Arshavin's way of hitting!"

"This wonderful kick was shot directly by Cech! Arsenal's corner kick!"
