Football’s First Defender

Chapter 272: 4 league matches

Chelsea, who flew back to London non-stop, only had a full day of rest, before returning to the Premier League competition.

   On the 21st, a separate Premier League postponed game, Chelsea challenged West Ham away!

   The Chelsea players who have just returned to the United Kingdom have obviously not recovered from the fatigue of the journey and the consumption of the last Club World Cup final. The rest of the day is too small for professional players.

In fact, Chelsea had already applied for the postponement of the match before the match. After all, the next day, it was too inhumane to fly back to the UK from Asia. However, the FA rejected the postponement request and the Chelsea players were not allowed. Don't go to the away game and challenge tiredly.

   Chelsea, who was obviously in poor form, was actually beaten by West Ham on the court. West Ham United, playing at home, took advantage of the lack of physical fitness of the Chelsea players and was not in the best condition, and attacked Chelsea.

   Although Chelsea’s defense has made its best efforts, it still declared a fall before halftime.

In West Ham United, Italian striker Diamanti was later Diamanti who went to Evergrande. In 42 minutes, a wonderful long shot hit the goal. The ball turned into a wonderful arc in the air and bypassed Cech's ten fingers closed and scored the goal.

   Chelsea, fell behind in the away game!

   Chelsea put more power on the offensive end in the second half, and the players recovered after experiencing a sluggish performance in the first half.

   Taking advantage of the opportunity of a free kick, Drogba inserted afterwards, received Lampard's pass, and shook his head directly to the goal, which evened the score for Chelsea.

   And then, in the last 20 minutes, the Chelsea players who were obviously unable to run, through patient control of the ball, and close defense, finally held the 1-1 draw.

   After the game, Ancelotti and Terry and other Chelsea players bombarded the FA at the press conference. Terry even said that the FA has insiders who are obviously more biased towards the "Red Devils" Manchester United.

   When Chelsea was in the international arena to earn honour for England, there were indeed some people in England who took down the Chelsea station.

   In any case, after experiencing a "high-level" Club World Cup final, regardless of Chelsea's travel time across continents, just a day off to play in the Premier League will definitely have a huge impact on Chelsea's record.

   Of course, in the "Spring Festival" of Westerners, although Chelsea's recent record in the league is not good, it still needs a holiday at Christmas. The Chelsea players got two days of repair time.

   It’s just that a lot of rich players, obviously during the holidays, had too much fun with their families.

   The game state of the Chelsea players has not improved significantly after the Christmas holiday.

   In the 19th round of the Premier League on the 26th, Chelsea challenged Birmingham away.

   Now ranking seventh in the standings, Birmingham, which occupies a spot in the European war, also caused huge trouble to Chelsea, which is in poor condition.

   Under the strict defense of the Birmingham 5 defender, Chelsea has limited offensive play in this game.

  The long shot from the middle, because of the dense defensive crowd in front of the opponent's penalty area, it is difficult to have the opportunity to threaten the goalkeeper. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   Ashley Cole, after experiencing continuous combat, even after Christmas, his state still hasn't been adjusted, his attack on the left side is inserted, the state is extremely bad, and he can't pass threatening at all.

   And Ivan on the right also didn't have too bright passing performance.

   The collective misfires of two wingers and two full-backs made Malouda's four-midfield system not available. After two wing shots were missing, the attack in the center was also unable to open.

Throughout the first half, Chelsea’s offense seemed to be trapped in a quagmire. When the wing could not play the ball, Chelsea could not play interspersed and coordinated, and the running route of the center could not be opened. Even the chance of positioning the ball was Become extremely rare.

   In the first half, Chelsea and Birmingham drew 0-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti made two substitution adjustments at the same time. Belletti replaced Ivanovic to try to open the attack on the right, and Malouda replaced Deco to play the left midfielder. position.

After the two wingers were replaced with substitute players at the same time, Chelsea’s wing attack finally improved in the second half. However, after successfully defending in the first half, Birmingham became more and more comfortable on the defensive end in the second half. Successive interceptions made the Birmingham players more and more confident.

   Although Chelsea’s offensive posture has improved and they have created several good shots, they still have been unable to score goals.

   Chelsea players, who are getting more and more anxious, start to behave on the court
