Football’s First Defender
Chapter 285: Chelsea's offensive changes
With Inter Milan remaining in the frontcourt and retreating to defend, Chelsea's smooth cross-cutting in midfield has become increasingly difficult.
And in order to completely limit all Chelsea’s attacking opportunities in the center, and extinguish the attacking momentum that Chelsea has played before, on the two wings, Inter directly gave up the defense and completely relied on the personal strength of the two full backs to defend the side. There is no problem with putting some wide crosses appropriately, as long as you don't let Chelsea's wide players break into the penalty area.
For the cross, although Chelsea have Drogba or Anelka in the sports battle, they can compete for the top, but in the penalty area, Inter Milan is dominant in the number of people, and Drogba implements 2 defenses and 1 defense. Strategy can also effectively limit Chelsea's contention.
Eto’o and Sneijder’s back defense are a boost for Inter’s defense, especially Sneijder, who began to abandon his position as an offensive midfielder and use his running moves. Wherever Inter Milan needs it, Wherever the fill is, he has become a defensive engineer player alive!
Inter Milan on the field, after firming up the determination to strengthen the defense, seems to have placed 9 defenders before and after the penalty area. Only Milito still acts as the counterattack fulcrum, at the forefront, while Eto'o is cruising on the defense line and Within the Chelsea midfield area, it can not only help Inter Milan block Chelsea's passing route, but also throw in a counterattack at any time, giving Chelsea a fatal blow.
In view of Inter Milan's increasingly tight defensive system, Chelsea can only invest more power on the offensive end to ensure that the team can maintain the suppressive power in the frontcourt and create enough threatening offensive opportunities.
In the mid-range obviously did not have too many opportunities for attack, Chelsea chose to move the main attack direction tentatively to the two wings.
Ivan on the right and Malouda on the left, simply looking at their positions on the field, are definitely not full-backs, but two orthodox full-backs.
When the two attacked, they were completely overwhelmed to open up space for Chelsea on the wing and make appropriate use of the chance of passing to find teammates in the penalty area.
And Yang Feng, who developed the ability of long passing, also began to participate more in the team's offensive system in sports battles.
Although Yang Feng may still not be able to control the direction and strength of the through ball perfectly, but to move the ball to the left and right in a wide range, Yang Feng can still do a good job in the middle circle, which is equivalent to helping the midfielder Lampa De and Ballack shared a certain amount of organizational pressure, allowing the two of them on the offensive end to plug in wholeheartedly, further compressing Inter Milan's defensive space.
The duo on the left of Malouda and Kalu are Chelsea’s strongest offensive firepower from the sidelines today, but they don’t have much to play against Inter Milan’s tight defense line that is all within the 30-meter danger zone. Space for rapid breakthrough.
Maicon and Stankovic both guarded the corner of the penalty area and stood ready, and there was Cambiasso nearby who was ready to support at any time.
Because Lampard and Ballack are in the middle position, they are not the kind of existence with strong breakthrough ability, so with Sneijder's defense, Sneijder can completely defend Lampard or Ballack from long shots. . In turn, Inter's midfield defensive players, such as Cambiasso, can be liberated from the simple task of defending Chelsea's midfield shots, helping Inter Milan better complete the blockade of the area.
Even though the number of people on the sidelines did not lose the wind, in order to prevent the pass of Kalu and Malouda from being inserted into the penalty area, Inter Milan's defense line was carried out around the large penalty area, and did not choose to jump out and move forward. Push for Chelsea's wing.
However, although it gave Chelsea players a decent cross space, they still provided a certain amount of defensive pressure by keeping a proper distance.
Inter Milan's defensive strength on the wing has always been at one level. You can complete the cross, but there must still be a certain defensive pressure, which will not make the offensive players too comfortable.
Chelsea players who have created countless threatening offenses before, at this time, in fact, are somewhat indifferent to this kind of pass opportunity that is not too good, and would rather choose to reorganize and try to create some better offensive opportunities.
Malouda and Kalu passed each other on the flank in a row, but they did not get a good chance. In the case of unable to mobilize Inter Milan’s defense line, Kalu, who had no chance on the left, could only choose to pass back to the center. Reorganize.
After Lampard received the ball, facing Sneijder who was stuck in front of him, there was actually no good chance of direct long-range shots. Instead, he chose a curve ball and transferred the ball to Ivan on the right.
Ballack's forward insertion on the right attracted Motta away, giving Ivan a chance to play 1v1 with Zanetti on the wing. It was just that Zanetti, who played for the left back, had a clear defensive principle in this game. It is when Ivan takes the ball forward, he keeps backing up, not giving Ivan a chance to break through.
Then get stuck near the big penalty area line, within the range that teammates in the penalty area can help, and then go to grab. When Ivan is playing outside the penalty area, Ivan is to give Ivan a certain chance to pass the ball, which is the same as Maicon on the right. Control the distance and definitely not let you break through me, and then make sure to pass it. When playing the ball, just have a certain amount of defensive pressure.
After a pass, Ivan did not hesitate too much when Chelsea’s offensive players were enough in the penalty area. After taking the ball a few steps forward, he suddenly pulled a step horizontally, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area. .
The arc passed by Ivan was very large, and he ran directly to the outside position of the back point, which was matched by Anelka.
Drogba's position in front of the center gate was blocked by the two defenders of Inter Milan.
Anelka inserted diagonally from the middle area. Although it seized a favorable offensive position, Anelka was unable to make a header that was too comfortable under Samuel’s defensive confrontation. In addition to Ivan's pass, in order to avoid the goalkeeper's control area, the pocket is still a little too far back, and when the angle of the goal is reduced, Anelka needs to lean back a little to reach the football!
In the end, although Anelka finished the header this time, he wanted a difficult parabolic goal~lightnovelpub.net~ still did not reach enough height, and Sassel was directly steady with both hands. Grab the football.
In the case that the cross-cutting cooperation was almost defensively unable to proceed, Chelsea's offensive method could only be changed to the old way, the two wingers took turns to attack and the central player's long-range shot.
Use the cross from the side to find a strong point for the header in the penalty area and rely on Drogba's personal performance. In the middle, Lampard and Ballack's excellent long-range shooting ability are used to directly hit the goal and score goals.
Secondly, I also hope that Inter players, taking into account the threat of Chelsea's long-range shots, can raise the defensive line a little bit, so that Chelsea's cross-cutting cooperation can regain certain attacking space.
Lampard and Ballack, when Chelsea's offensive end was deadlocked, they also knew that it was time for them to play their roles on their own.
Also in the case of receiving a pass from a teammate in the center, Lampard and Ballack will no longer transfer the ball in a wide range and hand the ball to the weaker side to create opportunities, but it is almost themselves. Find a chance to take a long shot!
After the Inter players squeezed in the 30-meter danger zone line, Lampard would directly try to attack the goal from a distance of more than 30 meters!
Two consecutive ultra-long distances directly hit the goal, Lampard hit the goal with one kick, and a direct hit with a strong kick was the goal, but Cesar was brave enough to block it.
Although this kind of long-range shooting may not get in with 10 feet, it is this kind of long-range shooting that still has a certain threat. It is necessary to test Inter Milan's defense and let Mourinho decide whether or not. Put up a few meters and interfere with Chelsea's long-range attack.
The tactical game between the two sides may determine the final direction of this game...
