Football’s First Defender

Chapter 251: Conquered "Sky City"

Stoke’s first captain, Senegal’s Abdulaye Faye, is himself an important member of Stoke’s “bombing force”, although not like other famous defenders with swords, he has outstanding The number of goals scored, but its strong body, 1.86 meters tall, and black explosive power, but in the set kick, to bring huge interference to the opponent's defense.

This time, facing Chelsea’s area defense, Faye was originally positioned near Yang Feng’s target area, but the moment he saw the pass, Faye moved back two steps with his feeling, barely. Leaving the area where Yang Feng can make up the defense, and then relying on his explosive power to directly take off on the spot, using the take-off height to make up for his lack of the best take-off position. After that, there was a slight adjustment in the air, the waist exerted force, controlled the body, and then directly faced the ball, shook his head and scored the goal.

And when the Stoke City players were celebrating, Yang Feng felt unwilling to face the opponents who were celebrating.

When Faye completed the goal, Yang Feng had actually completed the jump, just a little bit short of the last distance. Yang Feng could take the lead in the ball or hit the ball that Faye had topped, but Faye was the last one. His header hit the goal just past Yang Feng's head, and even Yang Feng can still feel the wind caused by the ball flying.

As for Yang Feng, who strictly demanded himself, this ball, slow this last step, in fact, he could do better at the time.

For example, when you stand a little bit forward, or when you take a larger step and move faster, or when you collide with other players on the home team, if you bounce off the opponent with greater force , Instead of being blocked by the opponent, Yang Feng might have a chance to get this ball.

Yang Feng is constantly thinking about his own shortcomings. As for the problems exposed in a game, Yang Feng will always try to find a solution to avoid such things from happening again.

And the game restarted, less than 30 minutes in the first half, Chelsea, who was falling behind, began to feel oppressed.

Although Chelsea’s first goal this season is definitely the Champions League championship, but in this season when the strength of other competitors has been significantly reduced, Chelsea is also bound to win the Premier League championship.

And many of the Chelsea players' contract options, but there are also championship awards for the league championship, which also makes the team as a whole very eager and confident to end Manchester United's league championship this season.

The league is played game by game, and points are accumulated one by one. For Chelsea, at this stage, taking advantage of the good situation of other league competitors falling behind, they still want to continue to expand their lead in the standings. . After all, as the Champions League champions Chelsea this year, they have to fly to the UAE to participate in the Club World Cup competition. Two more matches means that the team’s physical fitness has to pay more, and as the Champions League matches in the second half of the league schedule At the beginning, if Chelsea players wanted to have enough physical fitness to cope with the Champions League match, they would naturally need to have enough points advantage in the league so that they have the capital to rest in subsequent leagues.

After falling behind in the score, Chelsea began to speed up the pace of their game and began to run hard, causing greater defensive pressure on their opponents.

Lampard and Ballack's frontcourt combination, although not very good at that kind of subtle through ball.

However, under the threat of their powerful long-range shooting ability, the two of them can also use the fake action of long-range shooting to sway the position of the defender, so that they have enough space to penetrate into the penalty area. .

If it doesn't work once, just twice, and if it doesn't work twice, just three times.

Chelsea, who had possession of the ball, began to try to hit Stoke's ribs over and over again.

Finally, the effort paid off. Ballack made a through ball on the right side of the midfield and finally penetrated Stoke's defense.

A precise pass was passed directly between the home team's two defensive players. Kalu, who started the game, showed his excellent ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area. Before the opponent rushed to the defender, he didn't make too many adjustments and directly volleyed from the far corner to succeed.

In the first half of the game, before the end, Chelsea successfully equalized the score, the two sides tied at the half and returned to the dressing room.

During the intermission, Ancelotti emphasized the team's defensive tactics in defending the opponent's set kick, changing the area defense to area plus man-marking. Yang Feng, as a player with excellent supplementary defense ability and good judgment, Still responsible for the defensive area.

For this game, the opponent's defender Faye, who is obviously in good shape, and German defender Hut, Ancelotti still let Drogba and Ivanovich, to make a special mark to ensure the opponent's strong position. , Can not consume Yang Feng's defensive energy.

After effectively arranging the defensive lineup, although Stoke City still implements its own style of play, catching the opportunity is to cross into the penalty area, and then receive the player's header and then header, but Chelsea in the second half The line of defense is obviously firmer.

When the home team’s set-piece offense was effectively contained, it was even more difficult for the Stoke City forward to find an excellent header opportunity in a sports battle, and Yang Feng played his best. In good condition, on the field, he will always appear on the ball in time to complete his defensive tasks.

The home team’s counterattack was in a quagmire, while Chelsea’s offense was carried out in an orderly manner.

Combining long-range shots and passing cuts, Chelsea still maintain sufficient pressure on the offensive end.

With the ball from the wing and there are not many opportunities to compete in the penalty area, Ancelotti’s first substitution adjustment is to use Zhirkov to like Malouda, compared to Malouda on the side. Lu can use physical confrontation to create breakthrough space. Zhirkov's speed, flexibility and foot technique are more suitable for passing from the side to the middle.

After Zhirkov came on the field, Chelsea's range of cross-cut coordination increased significantly, and the threat of attack gradually increased.

After An Pang decisively played the second card in his hand, Deco replaced Mickel who was dedicated to defense in the 67th minute. Chelsea began to use a more offensive lineup to try to end the game by attack.

Deco's appearance has increased Chelsea's midfielder's point of play, making Chelsea's offensive transfer of the ball faster. Although there is no defensive midfielder, it has indeed caused a lot of Chelsea's defense. Pressure, but for the victory of the game, at this time it depends on which team can be the first to cause a greater offensive threat.

Because the ball is still at the feet of Chelsea, the blues are still in control of the initiative on the field.

Deco's deployment in the backcourt and the through pass from time to time after forwarding make Chelsea's offense become more and more threatening. Under the constant attack, the accumulation of the final number of attacks finally turned into a qualitative change.

After Lampard and Ballack attracted enough defensive attention in the frontcourt, Deco suddenly accelerated forward. Ballack, who was holding the ball, caught Deco's forward penetration in the out of his eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ After drawing the ball from a long distance to the goal, attracting the attention of the opponent's defense and the goalkeeper, a heel knocked the ball and kicked it in front of Deco. Deco did not stop the ball to make adjustments, but directly passed the ball with a pick Within the restricted area of ​​Stoke City.

Suddenly picking up a pass, Stoke City’s defense has not recovered from Ballack’s "long shot", and Drogba in the penalty area is already ready to go, holding back the entire game. Drogba showed a speed that did not match his body shape at this time. Relying on his explosive power, Drogba directly took the lead and controlled the ball. Then he stepped forward and faced the attacking goalkeeper. The left foot hit the opposite corner.

A shooting choice that tested shooting skills, but in the end, the ball rolled into the net. Chelsea managed to overtake the score in the 74th minute of the game.

After successfully scoring the overtake goal, Ancelotti's third substitution also followed. Essien went into the battle, replaced Lampard, who had recovered in the second half, and replaced him with a defensive type. At the waist, Chelsea's formation is also dominated by the control of the ball, and it has begun to shrink from the previous formation.

In the final stage of the game, Chelsea consciously began to pay attention to their own fouls while defending, and tried not to give Stoke a corner kick.

The chances of positioning the ball are reduced, and without the forward attack of several backfield defenders, the threat posed by the home team's midfielder alone is really limited.

Several forced passes, or "grenade" opportunities, Stoke City players in the penalty area were stubbornly resisted by Yang Feng and did not get a chance to catch the ball.

And the score of 1 to 2 was also successfully maintained to the end. Chelsea won four consecutive victories with one less round of the match and still sits firmly on the top of the league!
