Football’s First Defender
Chapter 273: 3 failed central defenders
Before and after the Club World Cup, four consecutive league games were not won, making Chelsea's previous wave of winning streaks and three kills of the three giants formed the good situation of the league. Although Chelsea still has two fewer matches now, it is with the top Manchester United. The gap has reached 4 points, even before being almost killed in the championship suspense Arsenal, taking advantage of the devil schedule in December, Chelsea and Manchester United have the opportunity to lose the chain, with a wave of consecutive victories also completed the overtake of Chelsea. , Chelsea now ranks third in the league with 36 points.
In the 20th round of the Premier League two days later, Chelsea could no longer tolerate a defeat against the mid-tier team "farmers" Fulham.
Due to continuous battles in various competitions and two long-distance flights to and from Asia, many of Chelsea’s players have not recovered to their best condition. At such a critical moment, Ancelotti resolutely chose to change the formation and use daily During the training, a few people who were in fairly good condition completed the transformation.
Ashley Cole and Ivanovic, who were in poor form in the last game, were all placed on the bench in this game, and Ancelotti directly changed into three central defenders.
The coaches of the Italian department have good tactical skills. In normal training, they will also focus on practicing some new tactics. Although after the start of the new season, due to the busyness of various competitions, this season did not have too long to conduct other tactical exercises, but the three-back formation, Ancelotti did a lot of exercises during the summer training. It is to have a choice of lineup. Therefore, at this critical moment in the league, according to special circumstances, Ancelotti occasionally tries to change, the players are also acceptable.
Carvalho, the former absolute main central defender of Chelsea, was trusted by Ancelotti in this game and formed three central defenders with Yang Feng and Terry. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
Carvalho is in the middle, and Terry and Yang Feng, who are more athletic, are on the left and right.
352 lineup is to rely on three central defenders to continue to strengthen the team's defense when the full-back is in poor condition.
352 formation, the core of the team is actually the choice of two full-backs. They must have excellent assists and excellent running ability, so they can return to the defense position after offense.
However, due to the defensive ability of the three central defenders of Chelsea, it is really too strong, so Chelsea's choice of full-backs can not be so strict with their defensive ability. As long as they have the physical strength to run back to their position, the focus is on the offensive end. Can it be effective?
Zhirkov, this game finally got the chance to start, as the left midfielder.
Malouda’s breakthrough on the wing was somewhat straightforward. A man relied on his pure personal ability and caused limited threats. Without Ashley Cole to help him attract the attention of the defender, Malouda was The ability to flick the sideways is obviously not as good as Zhirkov's.
At the right forward position, Chelsea has never had an orthodox player reserve in this position. However, Joe Cole, who has returned from injury, can play this position on his behalf. He can rely on his technical ability to perform at a good level.
The defensive midfielder Mikel is the preferred defensive midfielder when Essien is slightly injured and unable to play, while Lampard and Ballack are still in the front position.
Double strikers, due to Anelka's injury, Drogba is partnered by Kalu in this game. Chelsea has set up a 352 formation for the first time this season, hoping to get rid of the previous decline in the league at home.
The formation of three central defenders is obvious that Chelsea’s defensive ability in the middle has been further strengthened. Under the defensive system of three central defenders, Chelsea’s already powerful central defender has become more encrypted and impervious.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Fulham not only becomes more difficult to penetrate in the center, but also finds opportunities to cross from the side, and the probability of the cross being controlled by Chelsea players has also become higher.
Of course, the 352 formation is too heavy for the offensive and defensive tasks of the two full-backs, and as full-backs, there is no longer a full-back behind them to make up defenses, so on the defensive end, the Chelsea team , Both need to pay more attention to the defense of the wing.
However, in the final analysis, this is the first time Chelsea has used a three-back lineup in an official game this season. Although Chelsea has tried several three-backs when preparing for the summer, it is suddenly used, and the players still need to play Constantly running in the game.
However, Fulham, ranked ninth in the league, has been unbeaten for 8 consecutive games, and just beat Manchester United 3-0 at home in the last round, so the hot "farmer" will not be easy on the away game. Disarmed and surrendered.
At the beginning of the game, Chelsea’s unfamiliar 352 formation exposed a huge defensive incompatibility.
After Zhirkov stepped forward to participate in the offense, he did not return to the defensive position in time. After Fulham completed the defense, he directly fought back behind Zhirkov. Originally, for this ball, Terry's original responsibility was to make up the defense, but Mikel habitually runs in a wide range, and Terry's defensive position is running heavy.
In the process of catching the ball from the right and counterattack, Dempsey accurately caught the opportunity of the Chelsea defender to reposition, and directly before Terry and Mikel formed a double double-team, he calmly knocked the ball to the center. Kerr's midway area is undefended. Lampard rushed back to defend, but could not catch up with Fulham's midfielder, Hungary international Zoltan Gera.
Zoltan Gera did not hesitate, led the ball and took a step forward, directly kicked the goal near the penalty area, "a cloud-piercing arrow", Zoltan Gera opened the record for Fulham.
Only 4 minutes into the game, Fulham made a fantastic start, and Chelsea, after falling behind in the score, may be approaching the bitter fruit of five league games!
Chelsea who lost the ball~lightnovelpub.net~ can't make any big adjustments in the first 4 minutes. They can only continue the arrangement before the game and patiently look for opportunities on the offensive end!
The configuration of the five midfielders makes Chelsea's possession rate extremely high. Chelsea constantly mobilizes Fulham's defense through the conduction of the ball in the midfield.
But Fulham, who has already scored a goal, is an iron bucket team. It ignores Chelsea’s transfer of the ball from the periphery. It can be said that under such circumstances, Chelsea have possession of the ball but still cannot create. An offensive opportunity that is too favorable.
Chelsea's possession rate is as high as 70%. Under the situation of total suppression, they created 8 shots in the first half, but only one shot was in the goal.
Facing Fulham's "bus" in front of the door, Chelsea's two wings, relying on one person on each side, there is no way to create good offensive opportunities.
The few long shots in the midfield were almost always blocked by the dense crowd in front of the Fulham penalty area. Chelsea’s attack, although it seemed to occupy the initiative, had almost no high threat. Door opportunity.
Joe Cole's pass chance on the right side is pretty good, but Zhirkov's side is really tangled. He tops one person in front of Fulham. Kirkov's offense was greatly disrupted.
In the Fulham penalty area, the same dense crowds made it possible to find Drogba and Kalu passes in the penalty area. The chances are all going back. Chelsea's attack, for a while, can't be seen too much. Hope...
