Football’s First Defender
Chapter 235: Open and close
"O'Shea got the header from Fletcher's relief!"
"Without any procrastination, O'Shea passed the ball directly to the commander of the team midfielder Carrick!"
"Carrick! Take the ball forward!"
In this game, although Chelsea spent most of the time defending in the backcourt, Chelsea’s defense relied on the player’s personal ability and teamwork, not like some teams, which relied on constant fouls. To stop the opponent's attack!
So except for a few people who have hidden yellow cards, Chelsea's midfielders have never received a yellow card before!
Chelsea's players had already anticipated the threat of Manchester United's possible counterattack after their attack, so they fouled, fouled, fouled again!
We must not allow Manchester United to make a threatening counterattack. Chelsea can't bear the second goal. We must definitely stop Manchester United's threatening attack with fouls in the bud!
Carrick dribbled the ball forward, and Lampard was already ready to foul!
They are all old fritters who have been in the Premier League for many seasons. Carrick knows that this group of people will never talk about sports ethics. It is not realistic to let opponents play fairly at this time and play well!
Sometimes fouls are the greatest help to the team. As a midfielder, Carrick also chooses to directly block the opponent when his opponent has a threatening counterattack!
Pushing others with oneself, Carrick knew that Lampard would have no good intentions when he rushed over!
"Carrick! Direct a diagonal pass and pass the ball to Giggs on the left!"
"Lampard, can't stay in time. After Carrick finished passing the ball, he was still running at high speed and hit Carrick!"
"The referee signaled that the attacking side is advantageous!"
On the other hand, after receiving the pass from Carrick, Giggs dribbled the ball quickly into the Chelsea hinterland!
Ivanovic has already retreated to his defensive area before, and is waiting!
For Manchester United, Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson are all moving forward quickly, in the middle and on the right, to open the defender for Giggs's breakthrough and give it enough space!
"Giggs! Ivanovich!"
"Accelerate! Accelerate! Giggs played his speed advantage!"
"Passed! Passed!"
For the speed-type full-back, Ivanovic really hasn’t done much, but since knowing he can’t defend the opponent’s breakthrough, Ivanovic didn’t force it, but was in the process of chasing. , Keep a certain interference with Giggs, and keep your defensive position just fine!
Since it is not easy to defend, then the two evils are the lesser of the two, let Giggs pass, and not give Giggs a chance to cut into the penalty area!
"Giggs! He killed the bottom line directly on the left side! A cross!"
"Within the penalty area, Manchester United's Tevez is fighting forward!"
"C Ronaldo also moved from the right to the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity at the latter point!"
"Giggs passed the ball to the previous point!"
Tevez's running position is still very good, and the ability to seize opportunities is also very strong, otherwise he would not give Yang Feng a slamming power as soon as he played, and he was caught off guard by the Chelsea defense!
But this time, Yang Feng, who was even more defensive, followed Tevez closely when Manchester United counterattacked. Without allowing him too much space, Tevez suddenly changed direction and ran forward. Yang Feng followed closely. In the last step, Yang Feng took advantage of his leg length and stepped directly in front of Tevez to help him complete the blocking task. After that, Yang Feng caught up and used his tall body to block Tevez’s progress, and then directly took off. Blocked Giggs' pass this time!
"Feng Yang! This time successfully completed the defense, did not give Tevez a chance to compete! Manchester United's out-of-bounds!"
Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the referee issued a yellow card to Lampard as a punishment for the counterattack that Lampard crashed into Carrick!
"Evra sends a sideline ball! Toss the ball to Fletcher!"
Anyway, the time of the game is constantly passing by. Manchester United, which has a one-goal lead, naturally began to play with the ball. However, Chelsea had anticipated this situation a long time ago. Chelsea's overall formation was advanced and they directly pressed Manchester United in the frontcourt!
But Manchester United still has enough courage at this time to leave enough offensive numbers in the frontcourt!
"Fletcher passes the ball to Vidic in defense!"
"Vidic, facing Anelka's rush, chose to transfer the ball to O'Shea on the right side of the court!"
"O'Shea, before Malouda arrives, hand the ball back to Carrick who has withdrawn!"
"Chelsea players are constantly coming forward to fight!"
"Carrick! A sudden lateral movement, getting rid of the forward Lampard rushing to grab, got a certain amount of space to pass the ball, directly made a long pass, and found Ronaldo on the right side of the frontcourt!"
"C Ronaldo! Fight against Bosingwa and run to the landing spot!"
Carrick’s pass was very accurate. This pass was closer to the outside on the right, which was very helpful for Ronaldo’s stop. Bosingwa was defensive and had no choice but to give up. Directly compete for the spot, but stand your own position and prepare to face the breakthrough that Ronaldo will take!
With perfect basic skills of unloading the ball, Ronaldo stopped the ball within his control, and then turned sideways directly, facing Bosingwa's defense, to complete the breakthrough 1v1!
"C Ronaldo, holding the ball on the right, wants to try to break into Chelsea's penalty area!"
"Bosingwa is waiting!"
"The former Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole was unable to defend Ronaldo. After calling his teammates to help defend, O'Shea had the opportunity to pass the ball. Now, Bosing, who was transferred to the left by Hiddink, defended. Watt, what will happen to defending Ronaldo?"
Chelsea’s frontcourt is pressing on the defense, which also makes the backcourt defense of their team widened. Although they still occupy the advantage in the number of defenders, after all, the gap between the players is very large, and the defense of Ronaldo cannot be timely. Arrived!
"Bosingwa, has been defensively and has been retreating. He is waiting for his teammates to return to defense! Malouda and Essien in the middle are all coming over!"
"C Ronaldo! Started cycling!"
Ronaldo, a later generation, used the place very frequently for the action of riding a bicycle, but the action of riding a bicycle is very simple, it is a bicycle, and then suddenly pull the ball to the left or right, open a certain space and then directly shoot long distance Hit the door!
For defenders facing Ronaldo alone, it is definitely not an easy task to prevent Ronaldo from hitting the goal!
Although Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't reached the peak of this technology, he is familiar with it!
"Suddenly pull the ball to the left! I hit the goal directly!"
Bosingwa also wanted to stretch his leg to block Ronaldo’s kick, but Ronaldo took advantage of his height and leg length. Every time he pulls the ball after riding a bicycle, he will pull the ball far, and then directly and quickly complete the kick. Even if the defender reacts to the goal, it is not an easy task to stretch his leg to stop it!
"C Ronaldo's long shot!"
Cristiano Ronaldo’s kick suddenly hit the goal, and the ball sank vigorously, and even the ball was still falling in the air. But fortunately, the angle of the shot was not too large. He has been paying attention to Cech on this side, steady. He held the ball in his arms without making a mistake!
You know, Tevez is watching Cech, ready to go forward if Cech drops his hand!
Without wasting time, Cech ran to the penalty spot with the ball directly, with a big foot, and drove directly to the frontcourt!
Since some of the Chelsea players were fighting for Manchester United players in the frontcourt, at this time, the counterattack directly against the frontcourt is a big enough threat!
"Cech, with a big foot, drove towards Manchester United's half!"
"Drogba, run with Ferdinand who defended him to where Cech's ball fell!"
In the process of running, Drogba's physical resistance ability can be played out from outstanding!
Ferdinand’s physical strength advantage cannot be fully utilized in the running process, so he can only try to block Drogba’s running route, but Drogba still takes the lead in running to the landing position and occupying a good position!
"Drogba, take off at the same time as Ferdinand, Drogba, who occupies a better position, still reached the point of Cech's big foot pass!"
"Drogba pushed the ball directly to Anelka who came over on the right!"
"Anelka~lightnovelpub.net~ stopped the ball directly and continued to break through without slowing down the earth!"
"Evra and Vidic, the two are going to double-team and defend Anelka!"
Facing the defensive players in front of Manchester United, Anelka also knew that it was not realistic to force a breakthrough in the past, so Anelka chose to stop and move laterally!
After opening a certain angle, Anelka shot a long shot! Shoot the ball to the goal!
"Anelka, a sudden long shot hit the goal!"
"Van der Sar! Rising into the air, flying out of Anelka's shot with a single palm at the position where he was stuck in the line!"
As Chelsea’s top scorer this season, after Drogba came back from injury, Anelka has a limited playing time and is not the most suitable winger for him, but still has an excellent scoring rate. It is because of Anelka's excellent game state this season has continued!
Throughout the game, Anelka, who had no chance on the offensive end, could seize the opportunity and pose a huge threat to Manchester United even if he had such a long-range shot in the game!
Fortunately, even though Van der Sar’s position was forward, he was well prepared for Anelka’s long-range shot and responded quickly, but his palm rested and prevented Anelka from using a world wave. Penetrate Manchester United's goal!
"Chelsea's corner kick chance!"
The game time has entered 80 minutes, and every attacking opportunity must be cherished. For Chelsea, the honor and disgrace of the whole season depends on whether he can equalize the score in the last 10 minutes and restore the final. To a state full of suspense!
