Football’s First Defender
Chapter 279: Fierce battle!
At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan organized a large-scale attack for the first time and scored directly.
The first effort of this ball must be Motta, who sent a precise pass near the center circle, and a pass through the half-court directly sent the ball to Eto'o.
The remaining offensive trio also relied on excellent performance without loopholes to complete the subsequent offensive actions.
Eto'o has good basic skills, he stops the ball directly at his feet, he can complete the adjustment in the first time, and choose to use the outer instep to dial in Sneijder.
And Sneijder moved forward from left to right. Cooperating with Milito, who was still on the right to receive the backcourt pass from his teammate, now he has moved forward from right to left in a wide range.
The two ran in a wide range while completing the rendezvous within the Chelsea penalty area.
As a result, Yang Feng could only choose to stop Sneijder from continuing to advance, and then hand over Milito from behind to nearby Terry to defend.
At that time, Sneijder was in a better position to insert diagonally forward, with a wider shot angle and a more threatening opportunity. However, Eto’o’s kick made Sneijder lead the ball in only one direction. In a short time and limited space, Yang Feng could be firmly stuck on Sneijder’s way forward. It can not only win the ball, but also help Cech block Sneijder's goal space.
It’s just that Sneijder chose to play his passing ability in the penalty area and between the flashing lights. He also knocked the ball gently and passed the ball to Milito, which is indeed unexpected. .
Sneijder's light pass from the outside ensures that the ball can be controlled by Milito.
Afterwards, Milito's fake action of sinking his shoulders in the direction of Sneijder's pass was completely the basic skill of a shooter in the penalty area to shake off a defensive player.
He sinks the shoulders, pulls the ball, pauses a small feint with his right foot, and then volleys to select the goalpost range in the near corner. All the movements are smooth and smooth, all in one go, helping Inter Milan get a dream start.
The broadcast shot immediately turned to the coaching bench on the sidelines. Mourinho showed his mad personality. The opening blitz goal did not make Mourinho too obvious to celebrate. He stood up to congratulate the people beside him, Mourinho. Ao still sits alone on the bench, with a confident and slightly mocking look on his face, as if to prove that it is definitely expected that the home court will take the lead in the goal.
On the other side, Ancelotti was obviously frustrated after losing the ball.
The game just started and fell behind on the road, which is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea.
With regard to Chelsea’s current staffing, Ancelotti gave instructions in time. The team directly changed to three forwards and changed to a 433 formation, allowing Malouda to withdraw to play the left back, and Kalu went to the left to play the left forward. Drogba is at the forefront of the center, and Anelka is still at the right winger position he is most familiar with.
Through a series of changes, Chelsea intends to launch a counterattack immediately, instead of letting Inter Milan organize a defensive line and make a more difficult attack.
Although the orthodox left-back Ashley Cole has been lost, the left-sided combination of Kalu and Malouda on the left is still the strongest direction for Chelsea to break through.
As soon as the kick-off, Chelsea consciously played the attack on the left.
However, Malouda gave the ball to Kalu, and then Kalu passed the ball back to Lampard in the middle. He turned directly and inserted into the space behind Inter Milan's defense.
It's just that Lampard's pick pass, although it passed behind Inter Milan's sideline defense, but in terms of angle, under the interference of Cambiasso, Lampard still has some uncontrollable.
Before Kalu ran to the landing, the ball had landed and popped out of the boundary. Chelsea's wing attack did not produce results.
Instead, Maicon quickly served the boundary ball, and Motta, who returned to the center, made a long pass and went straight to Milito, who was in the front.
As a high point, Milito's task at the forefront is to grab the first landing point and make the ball to Eto'o or Sneijder.
However, although Motta's pass found Milito, Terry and Yang Feng's defensive judgments were also extremely accurate.
Terry is responsible for holding up Milito and fighting him physically, while Yang Feng is responsible for accurately judging the landing point and is responsible for pushing out Motta's pass!
Yang Feng did not make a mistake, and directly and accurately pushed the ball out of the boundary...
After Inter Milan took the lead, although taking advantage of the advantage of the home court, they did not directly switch to a defensive state, but the entire back line was guarded in their own half with a tacit understanding and had no idea of going forward and participating in the attack.
Brazil's right back Maicon, who has always been an offensive booster for Inter Milan's right wing, did not cross the mine pool after the team took the lead. It was the primary responsibility to limit Chelsea's left attack!
Inter Milan's threat on the offensive end now depends on the organization of the midfielders, the forwards of the forwards, and relying on small-scale cooperation to create certain opportunities!
Sneijder took the ball forward in the middle and made small steps under his feet. When the other offensive players of Inter were spreading forward, Sneijder, who had not entered the dangerous area, had only Lampard to mark.
Inter Milan's offensive players did not directly press into the penalty area like the Premier League team, but they all followed the tactics and performed the work of running without the ball, receiving the ball, and coordinating outside the penalty area.
Yang Feng dragged the Chelsea line at the end, Terry went to target Milito. As Chelsea’s de facto core of the backcourt, Yang Feng himself will make corresponding repairs based on the momentary situation on the court.
Sneijder passed the ball to Maicon on the right with no defensive pressure alone near the center circle.
Seeking stability, Maicon did not show his willingness to attack from the side and break through. He made a straight pass from the right and passed to Milito who retreated to the right to catch the ball. After Milito came out, Terry Still guarding his own defensive area, Ballack is responsible for marking.
Taking advantage of his height and weight, Milito carried Ballack, completed a kick, and passed the ball to Stankovic who instantly inserted into the Chelsea penalty area.
Stankovic made a pile and leaned on Terry. After receiving the ball, without too much hesitation, he took the ball directly and returned the ball to Milito's direction!
After Milito finished his pass before, he also went straight into Chelsea’s penalty area. After receiving a pass from Stankovic, he led the ball with his left foot and adjusted his right foot to complete a kick. Up!
Although Ballack did not lose his position, when Milito had already started and relied on his body to suppress, Ballack, who was blocked from the side, could not complete the tackle.
At the critical moment, you have to rely on Yang Feng!
At the moment when Stankovic passed the ball, he saw through the small range of Yang Feng, and went straight forward to intercept.
Although Milito does have the ability to deliver the ball, in the absence of a point in front of the ball, unless he chooses to force a pass back, Milito must have the only option to take the ball and make moves.
And with this kick to lead the ball, with Ballack following defense, no matter how good Milito’s technique is, he can only maintain his physical inertia, and Yang Feng’s attack is to follow the pass to lead the ball. , Without any risk.
When Milito took the ball, his eyes also spotted Yang Feng who had made up his defense, but at this time he did not make any more moves!
Yang Feng accurately kicked Milito’s dribble out of the original trajectory, avoiding Milito’s inertial collision. Yang Feng was in good shape with a long pass and sent directly to Inter Milan’s right. Side defense line.
This Inter Milan's offense is not only on the defensive end, but Yang Feng has demonstrated his outstanding personal defensive ability. In the moment of the offensive and defensive transition, Yang Feng has practiced long passes for several months, and finally he can play a proper role.
Yang Feng's pass, spinning out an arc, directly looking for the empty space behind Maicon, and closer to the outside, which is conducive to the outside Kalu receiving the ball!
In the 1v1 speed comparison between Kalu and Maicon, perhaps Maicon still has the advantage today, but the ball is still closer to the outside in the end. Maicon, who needs to hold the defensive position, cannot rush forward too much. , Resulting in the fall point is still controlled by Kalu.
After Kalu received the ball, he did not have too much entanglement with Maicon. This was a rare counterattack opportunity. Kalu chose to pass the ball directly to the center area.
Following Drogba received the pass and the only defender in front of him was Lucio.
Drogba wants to use a change of direction to gain room for a breakthrough, but Lucio, who was on a break in the last round of Serie A, is indeed in a good state of the game.
At the moment Drogba made an action, Lucio had already completed his judgment and went directly to the ground to tackle and completely blocked Drogba’s backward dribbling route. The ball was directly shoveled and snatched by Lucio. Get up immediately, control the ball, and directly counterattack with the ball.
Lucio's career has itself had many wonderful performances of dribbling back and forward. After taking a few strides this time, after meeting Chelsea's defenders, Lucio remembered Mourinho's advice, but to be on the safe side, he passed the ball safely to Stankovic on the right.
Stankovic on the right line, taking advantage of the Chelsea defender has not yet come up, made sufficient preparations to pass the ball, directly transfer the ball in a wide range, aim the ball deep to the left, and pass it directly. past.
Eto'o on the sidewalk, even if he is no longer in his golden age, the old "cheetah" is still a "cheetah". Eto'o pushed forward like black lightning!
Ivanovic, who was in charge of the defense on the right, suffered a big loss in terms of speed. Eto'o crossed directly from the outside line, and didn't give Ivan a chance to fight him physically!
However, in order to pursue a precise landing, Stankovic's pass was not too fast, which gave Yang Feng enough time to react.
Eto'o's speed is indeed very fast, but Yang Feng's height advantage is even more obvious.
Yang Feng, who had enough time to traverse, rushed over to help Ivanovic complete the defense this time. Even because of Eto'o's figure, Yang Feng had sufficient confidence, and directly passed the ball safely to Ivan, who was back on guard.
Ivan took the ball and it was another opportunity for Chelsea to counterattack. Although the two sides had sufficient personnel on the back line, the offensive and defensive rhythms of the two teams were extremely fast, without delay, using the personal ability of the offensive players to directly hit the opponent's defense line in the counterattack. The depths of...
The fierce competition and fast-paced offense and defense naturally caused the players' movements to become louder and louder amid the high-decibel shouts of the fans.
As a lagging side, Chelsea, although it is not possible to press Inter Milan in the away game, but in the number of offensive rounds, they must still occupy a certain advantage.
He has always acted as a backup squad. Today, he finally started Kalu in such an important Champions League knockout round. After the change, he was extremely active in the position of the left wing!
The combination of Kalu and Malouda on the left side has indeed attracted the attention of Inter Milan and many players. When both Kalu and Malouda are involved in the offense, Inter Milan's defense line obviously leans on its right side.
As for the retraction of Inter Milan's right defense, Kalu did not choose to be reckless, but to hand the ball back to Lampard, who was received by the midfielder. Lampard took the ball and transferred the ball directly to the right. .
On the right, Ivanovic plugged in and received the ball. There was a huge open space on the right. Ivan was the only one in front of Inter Milan’s "young player" Zanetti.
However, when Zanetti clearly stood still and the main defense Ivan broke through, Ivan did not directly engage in a 1v1 battle with Zanetti. Instead, he used space, and Zanetti had no intention to interfere. Down, directly on the right, a high pass from 45 degrees into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Chelsea have Drogba and Anelka to compete for two points.
But Inter Milan has more defensive players in the penalty area.
Maicon was also recovered into the penalty area when the ball was transferred to the right side of Chelsea, making Inter Milan have four players to compete with Chelsea's two forwards.
When Lucio and Samuel used their bodies to fight each other ~lightnovelpub.net~ with Drogba and Anelka, Ivan passed the ball and was finally ran to the spot where Stan Kovic, before Drogba's jump-off point, headed out.
However, the second outside point was at the feet of Lampard, facing the ball from high altitude, Lampard directly cushioned the ball to Kalu in the left corner of the penalty area.
After Kalu received the ball, he accelerated directly, and Maicon threw out of the penalty area oncoming.
Kalu is a cycling action, suddenly chooses to take the left, after shaking his position, he shot directly with his left foot!
A volley, the strength is also full, but the angle is still a little bit worse, the ball hit the side net, Inter Milan's goal kick!
Cesar's goal kick went directly to Maicon on the right. Inter Milan took the goal kick as a counterattack opportunity and moved forward quickly.
Maicon, who encountered Malouda blocking in front, took into account the defensive position behind him, but chose to pass the ball safely and hand the ball to the midfielder Stankovic.
Relying on the obvious advantage of his own physical confrontation, Lampard could not easily steal the ball. Stankovic made a small change and prepared to rely on his physical confrontation advantage to directly force Lampard.
Lampard was also anxious for the team to fall behind at the beginning, and he was a little impatient. When he couldn't complete the 1-on-1 defense, he directly knocked down and tackled Stankovic directly on the grass.
Referee Gonzalez immediately stopped the game, walked in front of Lampard, looked at Stankovic, who had been rolling on the ground, and directly took out a yellow card to warn Lampard.
In the 12th minute of the opening, Chelsea’s midfielder, Frank Lampard, took the lead in yellowing. It seemed to prove that this knockout match is destined to be extremely intense...
