Football’s First Defender
Chapter 284: Yang Feng's long pass!
Inter Milan was a bit miserable by Chelsea. On the offensive end, although there are still many offensive players, there is almost no room to play.
Sneijder moved to the left to receive Zanetti's pass. Although Sneijder's basic skills were very good, he stopped Zanetti's long-distance pass directly under his feet, but faced Mikel who defended him. For the first time, Sneijder couldn't turn around and proceed with the next offensive action.
Instead, Mikel continued to exert force behind him, almost pushing Sneijder out of bounds directly.
Fortunately, Sneijder himself has rich experience. Before the ball went out of bounds, he chose to follow the sideline and try a half-turn to make a breakthrough. Although there is a high probability that there is no way to break through Mikel’s defense, Mikel’s ball is to be on the safe side. Had to choose to stretch his foot and knock Sneijder's ball near the sideline directly out of bounds. Inter Milan got a chance for a sideline kick.
Sneijder swiftly chose to serve the sideline ball quickly. Since Milito was closely guarded by Yang Feng in the middle, Sneijder could only look forward to Eto'o without a good chance.
Eto'o also showed his high flexibility. First, he made a false move of accelerating forward, and after attracting Terry’s center of gravity, he suddenly retreated and returned to the outside of the penalty area to meet Sneijder’s sideline. The ball, before the other Chelsea players completed the encirclement, Eto'o took the ball again and passed the ball to Motta who came in from the center.
However, Motta patronized the offensive position of his teammates and the defensive positions of several Chelsea midfielders, ignoring the situation behind him.
Motta looked at Sneijder, who was running along the left to the bottom line, and originally wanted to send a through ball with a large amount of advance to find Sneijder. But Motta's leg swinging movement has been completed, and before the ball was released, he was interfered by external forces from the side and back.
Kalu, who actively returned to the defense, rushed over to defend from behind Motta's side. He first touched the ball with his foot, and then staggered Motta forward. The referee did not call a foul.
The ball was kicked directly by Kalu to Ballack, and Chelsea directly launched a defensive counterattack.
Barack wanted a long-distance pass to find Anelka, who had already accelerated on the right, but Cambiasso, who was in charge of the defense of the midfield by Inter Milan, stretched his leg to block the pass. This pass appeared. It changes direction and is bounced off, turning into a high-altitude ball and falling near the center circle.
Facing this change of direction, the high-altitude ball flew high, Drogba counterattacked from the frontcourt, actively returning to the center circle, using his body to crush Motta, and directly jumping up the chest to remove the high ball. Then divided the ball to Lampard, who followed up from the rear, and he re-inserted to Inter's penalty area.
The powerful running ability of Chelsea players is undoubtedly revealed at this time of offensive and defensive transition. Taking advantage of Inter Milan’s midfield offensive players have not yet been defensive, and even some players have not passed the half-court, Chelsea’s counterattacks, such as the left Both Malouda and Kalu have quickly entered Inter Milan's core defensive area through halftime!
, Lampard, who was in possession of the ball, gave the ball to Malouda who was forward on the left, and Malouda directly expanded his speed and slanted forward to attack Inter Milan's unsteady line of defense.
Maicon has been following Malouda sideways. In order to avoid Malouda's sudden change to the side, he dare not step forward too much. At this time, Cambiasso came from the other side to help Maicon complete the defense, but Malouda used his own dribbling rhythm, combined with the small steps under his feet, but cleverly avoided Cambiasso’s After shoveling and grabbing, after Inter Milan's defense line ran towards him to defend, Malouda did not greet the merits and directly scored the ball horizontally.
directly handed the ball to Anelka on the horizontal line.
Anelka moved the ball to the right, stopped the ball sideways, and strode the ball diagonally to the right.
Before Inter Milan's defense was not completed, Anelka was one step away from the penalty area and hit the door with a kick.
The ball hit a diagonal, the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal, Cesar flew to save, but did not touch the football. It's just that Anelka still didn't hold down the ball, it was a little bit higher, and it almost flew out of the goal crossbar.
Seeing that Chelsea’s offensive threat is getting bigger and bigger, and the defense of his own team has become misty. Mourinho had to make on-the-spot changes, strengthen the team’s defense, and defend the first half first.
Under the command of Mourinho, Inter Milan’s frontcourt players have also begun to withdraw to defend. Except for Milito because of his height and weight, he has little role in sports defense. It is better to stay in the frontcourt as Inter counterattack. In addition to the fulcrum, Eto'o and Sneijder both retreated to their own half, using their speed to help their team's midfield defense.
Inter Milan's defense line, with the addition of the two major forces, began to become closer.
Especially since I was almost beaten by Chelsea before
