Football’s First Defender
Chapter 237: Overtime
"Chelsea, it's almost possible to get a direct reversal and victory in the final stage of the game, but it's a pity that Lampard's long shot hit the post!"
"And the pillar, will it become a symbol of Manchester United's luck?"
"Manchester United will not die, will there be a blessing?"
"During Ferguson's management of Manchester United, there were two Champions League finals. In 1999, they were hit by Bayern twice. In the Champions League final last year, they were hit twice by today's opponent, Chelsea, but the final winner of the game. , Under the blessing of the goalposts, it is all Manchester United!"
"Today's game, in the final moments of the game, the goalpost once again stood up to defend Manchester United's door will not be broken again, is this a harbinger of Manchester United's victory in this game?"
Lampard's excellent long-range shot was just a little short of a goal! What a pity!
The players of Manchester United were also completely awakened by Frank Lampard's threatening kick!
Just so close, Manchester United will be reversed by Chelsea's two goals in the last ten minutes of regular time!
The long shot that Lampard hit on the post scared the Manchester United players in a cold sweat. After the game restarted, they all entered the game state immediately. For these players, only in They only know how to cherish when they are lost!
When the score was just equalized by Chelsea, it was painful for the Manchester United players. They felt that the cooked duck was flying, and they felt that they were holding the championship trophy, but they had to wait for more game time. Go and put in more effort!
And now, he was almost directly scored by Lampard's long-range shot, and he was almost eliminated by Chelsea. It is true that he can only use more painful things to smooth out the previous injuries!
Think about your team is still in the game now, the two sides are still a tie, rather than being reversed and falling behind, Manchester United players, after the thrill, immediately resumed the fighting spirit of the game!
In the final moments of the second half of the game, Chelsea finally took advantage of their momentum after the equalizer, and achieved a good suppression effect on the scene!
And Lampard's brilliant long shot further made Chelsea's offensive more and more fierce!
Manchester United’s defense was in the midst of wind and rain during the time when the ball was lost. However, as the time of the game approached, the spirits of the Manchester United players began to return, and the game state began to return to normal, in stoppage time. , The two teams have begun to be somewhat evenly matched!
In the absence of a momentum bonus, it is also because the regular 90-minute stoppage time is not too much. The two teams are not willing to leave a chance for their opponents at the last moment, but a smooth transition, preparing for the subsequent overtime!
"With the referee's whistle, in the 08/09 Champions League final, Manchester United and Chelsea, in the 90 minutes of the game, the battle became a 1-1 draw!"
"The two teams will immediately play overtime after a short break!"
In the final time of the game, Chelsea launched several offensives, but they all returned without success!
Especially after Frank Lampard shot a wonderful long shot, Manchester United players, for Chelsea players' long shots, carried out a key center defense!
Lampard and Ballack no longer have easy long-range shots and no longer have enough passing space!
Chelsea transferred the ball to the wing and used the tactics of passing from the side. After Manchester United's defense line returned to normal level, due to the lack of Chelsea's offensive personnel in the penalty area, there was no way for Drogba to create a good opportunity !
However, the game entered overtime, not to mention that the balance of victory has been inclined to Chelsea, but it is definitely not like regular time, the probability is biased to Manchester United's side!
Chelsea may have the biggest advantage now that Hiddink still has two substitution places in his hands and can make substitution adjustments. For Manchester United, if they change three players early, not only there is no more room for adjustments, but they are also worried about injuries. Illness and physical problems!
Hiddink had already figured out how to play his second card!
On the other side of Manchester United's bench, Ferguson started his own "hair dryer" mode to "inspire" players different!
Hiddink did not carry out too many tactical arrangements, but emphasized the defense of the two sides, especially the marking of Ronaldo, which was listed as the top priority by Hiddink!
As early as when the tactics were set up, Anelka had been told by Hiddink that he would be replaced, and Kalu was the substitute who played him!
Hiddink knows that at this time, he needs to change into a more dynamic player on the wing to help Chelsea do better on both ends of the offense and defense!
In Chelsea's current lineup, Kalu may be the only one who can do this!
Hiddink hopes that Kalu can help Ivanovic better defend his own right, and can also help Drogba share greater offensive pressure through his flexible running position and speed in counterattacks. !
"As soon as the overtime started, Chelsea made the second substitution of the game. Kalu replaced Anelka! This is a match-up substitution! But compared to Anelka, Kalu, Although the ability to compete for headers in the penalty area is not strong, its speed advantage can provide Drogba better opening up Manchester United's defensive space!"
In the last 30 minutes of the duel, Hiddink will also start on the offensive end and seek greater development. He wants Chelsea to show a better state on the offensive end!
If there is a choice, no one wants to play a brutal penalty shootout!
Therefore, at the beginning of the overtime game, the two teams directly attacked Maimang, and they had a great stance against each other!
"Chelsea takes the lead!"
"At the beginning of overtime, Chelsea obviously continued the offensive suppression posture before the end of regular time. The formation continued to rise as a whole, and the attack was more proactive!"
"Chelsea attacked on the left!"
After all, Kalu's current position is still a forward or a wing forward, Chelsea's purest wing player, that is, Malouda alone!
So although Kalu is a new player on the field, Chelsea’s main attack point from the side is definitely Malouda’s side. Kalu just needs to have his own when transferring the ball to the right. Just play!
"Malouda, and Bosingwa two people, made a wall-to-wall cooperation on the left side!"
"Malouda, dribble to the bottom!"
Because Chelsea replaced Anelka, they lost Anelka, a striker who could compete for the goal in the penalty area. So as an offensive supplement, in Hiddink’s tactics, Ballack would have to be two When dribbling the ball forward, he moved forward and entered the penalty area, acting as Chelsea's second scramble point in the Manchester United penalty area to help Drogba share the pressure!
When Kalu attacked Chelsea on the left, he could also decide to enter the Manchester United penalty area depending on the situation, and try to find a chance at the latter point!
"Malouda crossed!"
As a black player, Malouda’s stamina is not enough. Even if the game is in overtime, Malouda can still guarantee his speed. O'Shea’s defense on this side is beginning to be more and more disadvantaged. !
"In the penalty area, Vidic resisted Drogba!"
"The nearby Fletcher also blocked Barak who was inserted into the penalty area!"
"Ferdinand, on the other hand, occupied the best position to compete for the top without much interference from opponents!"
"Ferdinand, header to clear..."
Chelsea’s first attack ignited the enthusiasm for fighting between the two teams!
On Manchester United's side, they turned around and fought back on their own right!
Although O'Shea was on the offensive end, he couldn't get in too far forward, and he didn't have the speed and breakthrough ability to cooperate with Ronaldo against the wall!
But Ronaldo alone is enough!
O'Shea presses on the back of Ronaldo, which has restrained Malouda's attention for Ronaldo. Although Malouda defends O'Shea from a certain distance, he can guarantee that he can get closer to Bosingwa. For Cristiano Ronaldo, there is also Certain interference ability, but when O'Shea had an assist, Malouda did not dare to empty O'Shea again, letting him pass the ball unscrupulously!
So Cristiano Ronaldo is equivalent to only needing to deal with a half man on the side. Malouda is equivalent to a half-person defense. Although there is some interference, for Cristiano Ronaldo, his strength on the side is still Have an advantage!
"C Ronaldo! Received the ball on the right!"
"Getting the ball is a cycling action! Before Malouda returned to the defense and Essien from the center assisted in defense, Cristiano Ronaldo had already pulled the ball to the right suddenly and hit the bottom!"
The defensive task that Bosingwa got from Hiddink is very clear. All defensive actions must be based on the premise of restricting Ronaldo's breakthrough into the penalty area. Ronaldo must not be allowed to break the ball into the penalty area!
After that, it is necessary to try to interfere with Ronaldo’s direct shots from the outside. As for Ronaldo’s cross from the wing, Hiddink is classified as Ronaldo’s least threatening offensive method. Bosingwa wants to do the first two points. The defense of Ronaldo can appropriately weaken the fight against Ronaldo to ensure that his defensive position is within a controllable range!
For Cristiano Ronaldo who is dribbling the ball to the bottom at this time, his dribbling still has room for him. Although he has made great strides and is very fast, Cristiano Ronaldo is still confident. When there is a chance, You can stop immediately, change the direction and return to a carbine!
But Cristiano Ronaldo’s peripheral vision has been watching Bosingwa’s defense. Although Bosingwa is following Cristiano Ronaldo, his distance is well controlled. For Cristiano Ronaldo, whether he chooses to advance into the penalty area, Stop anxiously, change direction and enter the penalty area, Bosingwa will maintain the best defensive position and complete his block!
Cristiano Ronaldo also knows in his heart that Chelsea’s defense will definitely not let Bosingwa always defend himself against him. At this time, because he drove the ball deep into Chelsea’s hinterland, Essien in the middle is still behind him. Malouda may be coming at full speed and did not leave Ronaldo with much room for manipulation!
Since he chooses to cut inside, there is a high probability that Bosingwa will successfully block him, then Ronaldo simply does nothing, and directly completes the bottom by taking advantage of the trend, and passes into the penalty area!
"C Ronaldo! Crossed!"
"Within the penalty area! Manchester United's Carlos Tevez, Rooney, and even Scholes have inserted into the penalty area from the center, ready to compete for the top!"
Within Chelsea's penalty zone, Tevez still wants to continue to be the savior of Manchester United!
Facing Ronaldo’s right pass, Tevez, after judging the approximate landing area, ran directly to the landing area, wanting to complete a header goal again!
But this time, Yang Feng's defense against Tevez was very good! After Chelsea’s defensive line clearly assigned the defensive Manchester United players, because the difference in style between Tevez and Rooney was not so obvious, Yang Feng, who was scored by Tevez in the matchup, directly took the initiative to take over Tevez’s defense. The task, Yang Feng, is to prove himself in the next game, and use facts to show that the first goal loss was just an accident!
So this time, Yang Feng was in charge of defending Tevez, but he concentrated all his attention without any relaxation, staring at Tevez firmly!
When Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball, Yang Feng immediately made the best judgment, not only running to the area where Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball, but also taking the lead in seizing his position and directly blocking Tevez's path!
When Tevez wanted to run to the landing point quickly, he found that Yang Feng had already occupied half of his body's advantage. Although Tevez wanted to use his speed and physical resistance to force his way and crash away. Yang Feng's defense!
But this time, Yang Feng came prepared~lightnovelpub.net~ and adjusted his body to the best confrontation state, and directly confronted Tevez!
After all, Yang Feng's height and weight have advantages. This time Yang Feng still occupies the lead in his position, and he has sufficient psychological preparation!
This time, Tevez has no advantage!
"Tevez and Yang Feng, the two confronted each other and ran to Ronaldo to pass the ball!"
"Yang Feng, obviously has always occupied the lead in position, and Tevez's disadvantage in height is too obvious!"
"Sure enough! Yang Feng finally completed the header clearance easily!"
"Tevez has no chance to grab this spot behind Yang Feng!"
Yang Feng's defense against Tevez was very successful this time, and he was able to regain his name in this direct duel!
And this pass by Ronaldo did not achieve a very good cross effect!
Although the defense of the two teams cannot be achieved, they can completely restrict the offensive methods of both sides, but they choose to give the opponent some of the least dangerous offensive methods to completely lock off the highly threatening offensive methods!
In this final overtime game, Manchester United and Chelsea are surprisingly consistent in the general direction of tactics. They both want to achieve results on the offensive end. On the defensive end, they use the least threat. Way to ensure the team’s defense!
Although the two teams can put more players on the defensive end to ensure that the defensive intensity increases again, at this time, Hiddink and Ferguson still retain the midfield and frontcourt when their teams are defending. A counterattack group of two to three allows the team to have a strong enough counterattack force. After the defense is successful, it can give the enemy a fatal blow in the counterattack!
