Football’s First Defender

Chapter 225: Chelsea's Counterattack

What is a superstar, what is a core player, what is called Mr. Key, it is about a player like Ronaldo, who is never soft in the game! Can stand up when the team needs it most, when facing a strong opponent!

From the very beginning of the game, Ronaldo used his full strength on the offensive end, completely relying on his own strength on the offensive end, and completed a three-legged threatening shot!

The key point is that the last two kicks were completely under the noses of Chelsea's defensive players, and they were directly forced to rely on personal ability to complete the goal!

Chelsea is not without defensive players in front of Ronaldo, but under Ronaldo's offense, the role of defensive players has not been highlighted, so Ronaldo directly relies on his strong personal ability and superb shooting. Art, to be regarded as nothing!

Yang Feng was also very helpless for Ronaldo's direct hit in front of him just now!

In the semi-finals, although there were several opportunities for direct confrontation between myself and Messi, none of them were so-called 1v1, and they were directly confronted head-on.

At that time, Yang Feng belonged to the defensive player who shrunk at the end of the defense, so every time he faced Messi, it was after Messi struggled to break through Chelsea's defenses.

Not to mention physical exertion, during the breakthrough process, in order to ensure the success rate of surpassing others, Messi's control over the ball is actually weakened in the accelerated state, so he gave Yang Feng a lot of defensive opportunities !

But just now, he had a direct face-to-face confrontation with Ronaldo, which also let Yang Feng know that at this stage, he is still too young to directly face this level of offensive players!

Evra's pass from the wing, Yang Feng actually wanted to go up and intercept directly at the first time, but Ronaldo first used his speed to seize a better position, then turned his back to Yang Feng, and faced Yang Feng from behind Although Yang Feng's height and weight are higher than that of Ronaldo, and Ronaldo's figure is indeed a little staggered under Yang Feng's collision, Yang Feng's resistance ability is not considered strong, and it is still not enough to make Ronaldo give up his position. of!

Therefore, Yang Feng could only watch Ronaldo complete the catch this time, and he could only stand behind him, preparing to passively face Ronaldo's next attack!

Yang Feng did consider the possibility of Ronaldo hitting the goal directly, but the position of the ball was not close to the goal. Ronaldo received the pass near the penalty area line!

The second is that Ronaldo catches the ball with his back to Yang Feng, and his back is facing the direction of the goal. Therefore, in Yang Feng's view, even if Ronaldo wants to hit the goal directly after catching the ball, he will definitely complete the turn first. , Try to adjust and use your right foot as your dominant foot to hit the goal!

But Ronaldo's final choice is so confident, that is, he believes in his ability to hit the goal!

First step forward with the right foot to pick up Evra's pass, then turn around to the right hand, use the right foot as the axis, turn the body, then straighten the left leg, and throw it directly to complete a volley Door!

A series of movements flowed smoothly, very coherently, without any procrastination, directly caught Yang Feng by surprise!

With ordinary people's thinking, no, treating Ronaldo as a regular football superstar is Yang Feng's biggest mistake!

Ronaldo's offensive ability, physical fitness, and his talent in the football field make him definitely one of the worst 1v1 defensive players on this planet!

Yang Feng also understands that even though he has always attached great importance to Ronaldo and has been cautious, but he wants to say that he can achieve the coach's restricted goal, but it is still not as easy as he said!

"C Ronaldo's continuous threat attack has caused huge defensive pressure on Chelsea's defense!"

"This is the outstanding offensive ability of Manchester United's core, and this is the reason why Real Madrid intends to do whatever it takes!"

"At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo, relying on his own strength, helped Manchester United form an absolute ability to suppress the situation!"

Since ancient times, the unnamed game of the finals, in this kind of key game where there is only one game to compete for the final championship, it stands to reason that when the gap in team strength is not huge, the two teams will choose conservative tactics appropriately to ensure that the team Be undefeated first!

Chelsea's game attitude is very low. From the very beginning of the game, it is very reasonable to enter the defensive state first!

As for Manchester United, regardless of the start of the game, the offensive end is very hot, but in terms of offensive participation, the choice of right back O'Shea who is more adept at defense in this game can also be seen as Ferguson's conservative attitude towards the lineup!

However, after leaving as many as three defenders behind, Manchester United's frontcourt attack can still rely on Ronaldo to create a huge threat, and then form an absolute suppression on the scene!

Chelsea's defense against Ronaldo, even though they have arranged many plans before the game, but when it really comes to the game, it seems so insufficient!

Cristiano Ronaldo's ghostly running position can always catch a vacancy in Chelsea's defense, and use his strong personal ability to directly amplify this loophole, posing a huge threat to Chelsea's defense!

Fortunately, no matter how strong Ronaldo is, he is still an ordinary human being, not a real alien!

Physical strength problems still exist in Ronaldo. As far as Ronaldo is concerned, after experiencing continuous personal attacks, it also takes a certain amount of time to take a breather!

Ten minutes after the start of the game, it was Chelsea's turn to show the team's investment in the offensive end in the past half season!

Although Chelsea's game is mainly defensive, this is the Champions League final. Hiddink still wants to find an opportunity to resolve the battle within 90 minutes during the game. Counterattack is one aspect. After Manchester United's continuous attack, they need to slow down When you are physically fit, it is also an offensive opportunity within Chelsea's plan!

"Chelsea, after possession of the ball this time, suddenly launched a full-scale attack!"

"Left-back Ashley Cole and right-back Bosingwa also accelerated forward and came to Manchester United's half to participate in Chelsea's attack!"

"Manchester United's defensive line retreated to their respective positions very quickly, leaving Ronaldo alone in the frontcourt, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!"

"Lampard plays with the ball!"

After Rooney also retreated to help defend the defense on the left, Giggs, who was drawn out, directly stepped forward to harass Lampard's organization attack!

Although Giggs is famous for his speed, his physical fitness is definitely not weak, and his confrontation ability is extremely strong. Therefore, in defense, although Lampard has a certain advantage in height and weight, but he wants to play in Giggs. Under Gus' defense, it is not easy to gain room to advance!

"Lampard, under the pressure of Giggs, can only choose to pass the ball and pass the ball to Ballack nearby!"

"United's pressing was brutal!"

"When Ballack couldn't guarantee the success rate forward, under the pressure of Anderson, he could only choose to continue to pass back and pass the ball to Yang Feng behind!"

When two full-backs plug in at the same time to participate in the offense, it will be a test of the Chelsea midfielder's ability to deploy the ball. At this time, for the midfielders, it is absolutely impossible to pass those extremely risky passes. You can let a winger, after getting the ball safely, try to break through and pass the ball on the side, but absolutely not There was a pass error in the middle!

After all, when the winger is attacking, even if there is a mistake, the team still has enough personnel to go back and prepare for defense. However, if there is a mistake in the pass in the middle, causing the ball to change, then the space behind the two wingers of the team will be exposed instantly. In front of Manchester United's offensive players, it will bring unimaginable difficulties to Chelsea's subsequent defense!

So Ballack chose to pass the ball to Yang Feng, just to be on the safe side and deal with it steadily!

However, under the interference of Ronaldo's rapid approach, Yang Feng's kick was a little flustered, and it passed behind Lu Bosingwa on the right. Bosingwa couldn't turn around in time, and the ball went out of bounds! Chelsea wasted an offensive opportunity!

Yang Feng's performance, in the tense Champions League final, under the defensive pressure given by Ronaldo, is still a bit abnormal!

However, Chelsea's teammates did not complain too much. Unlike most of them, they experienced the battle with Manchester United last year. After all, this is Yang Feng's first Champions League final. Everyone's tolerance for this central defender is still very high. !

Although Yang Feng and many of his teammates did not have so many private exchanges this season, they were not considered friends, but Dongfang's unique reservedness made everyone not hate Yang Feng!

The game is still going on!

Manchester United's offense, in the case of Ronaldo's low participation this time, facing Chelsea's iron wall, the progress on the offensive end is still limited!

No way, Manchester United's offensive strength is indeed very strong, but Chelsea's defensive strength in the midfield is even tougher!

In addition, the core defensive players of Chelsea's lineup have been tempered for many years. Even the new additions such as Bosingwa and Yang Feng have enough personal defensive ability and excellent defensive awareness, which also makes Chelsea's tacit understanding in defense Full, the conversion ability is extremely strong when making defensive substitutions, and the defensive ability is also very good. It will not give Manchester United too many opportunities!

Except for the explosive point of Ronaldo, it is impossible to make effective restrictions. The rest of Manchester United are indeed restricted by Chelsea!

"Manchester United's attack from the left this time, after Rooney leaned on Bosingwa with his back to get the ball, he was double-teamed by Anelka and Lampard in an instant!"

"Under the three-person double-team, Rooney has no room to play the ball. Lampard directly grabbed the ball at his feet. Chelsea directly completed the transfer of the ball and directly hit Manchester United's counterattack!"

"Lampard drives the ball forward!"

Evra was right in front of Lampard. For the first time, Evra wanted to stop Lampard. Even if it was a tactical foul, it was worth it! But thinking about the space behind him, and seeing Anelka who has been working harder and running towards his side, Evra is afraid that if he does not make a foul, Lampard will pass the ball to him instead. After Anelka, then his own sin may be great!

In the end, Evra still chose to return to his own defense zone and concentrate on doing a good job in the defense of his own area, and watch Anelka's insertion!

Lampard, on the other hand, got enough room to adjust the pass. Although Giggs's grabbing speed is not slow, but the distance is a bit far so it still takes time. Before Giggs arrived, Lampard The adjustment has been completed, and he made a precise long pass and sent the ball to Manchester United's penalty area!

"Lampard's long pass! Drogba is waiting for the ball!"

"Vidic is in a physical confrontation with Drogba, and Ferdinand is not far from the side. He has to defend other Chelsea players and can deal with possible situations on Drogba's side at any time!"

Drogba uses his body to firmly stick to the best position he thinks. Although Vidic can use his physical fitness and experience to limit Drogba most of the time, the limitation does not mean Trying to stop the ball, when Drogba got stuck in the position ahead of time, Vidic could only make defensive interference behind Drogba!

And this time, Lampard passed the ball very accurately with sufficient preparation time. Drogba can wholeheartedly fight against Vidic physically to ensure his position!

Since it was inside the penalty area, Vidic didn't dare to make too much defensive action to test the referee's bottom line, so Drogba's position was still stable, he stretched his legs directly to unload the ball, and then he made a smashing action!

"Drogba, stop the ball!"

"Smash the ball, turn around!"

"Fake action!"

Drogba's dominant foot is his right foot, so in the physical state of confrontation with Vidic, after Drogba stopped the ball, his shoulders made a sinking movement to the left, as if turning to his left hand, and then his right foot followed the trend Hit the door, indeed Vidic's center of gravity, shaking to the left!

But in Drogba's mind, when he first confronted Vidic for a position, he had already calculated the plan for this attack!

First leaning to the left, in the physical confrontation with Vidic, exerting force to the left, the shoulders are also leaning to the left, but everything is an illusion pre-set by Drogba!

The stepping position of the left foot is not that big, and it does not have much impact on Drogba's own rhythm. The left foot, which seems to be used as the pivot foot of the turn, turns slightly immediately after stepping out, and exerts force in the opposite direction. Then use the right foot as the pivot foot to complete the reverse turn!

Vidic was indeed deceived at the beginning, and his center of gravity was close to the left to prevent Drogba from hitting the goal. However, as an experienced central defender, Vidic also discovered the movements under Drogba's feet at the first time. The center of gravity is a little bit to the left, but he still exerts force and bounces his body to the right to defend!

However, Drogba's plan was carried out step by step, and everything was in an orderly manner. The moment Vidic was deceived and lost his center of gravity, Vidic was already at an absolute disadvantage.

Drogba didn't waste any time, with extremely smooth movements, he directly completed the turn and volleyed with his left foot!

"Drogba, hit the goal with your left foot!"

Nemanja Vidic's forced right leg failed to intercept the kick, and Ferdinand was still in his own defense zone. It was very surprising that Drogba created such a chance to hit the goal in an instant!

And Van der Sar, also facing the enemy, was taken aback by this sudden kick!

However, as a veteran goalkeeper who has played for nearly 20 years in the professional arena, although Van der Sar's body may not be in the best condition, his experience and judgment on the field make him In the position of goalkeeper, the older you get, the more monster you get!

Almost subconsciously, Van der Sar exerted strength on his legs and lunged to the right side!

"Van der Sar! Jumped to Drogba's foot and hit the goal!"

"Drogba used his personal ability to finally create a chance to hit the goal, but was rejected by Van der Sar!"

It's up to people to make things happen, and Drogba stood on the penalty area line, watching Van der Sar's save, and he was very helpless!

Drogba thought he had done everything he could do, and this kick was considered an excellent goal. Being able to be directly saved by Van der Sar is also Manchester United's fate!

Sometimes, on the football field, luck may be the final decisive factor in the peak matchup between the two teams on both ends of the offense and defense!

Just like in last year's Champions League final, the two teams entered a penalty shootout, but Chelsea's luck was too bad!

But today, in the opening stage of the game, both teams created extremely threatening offensive opportunities, but, Goddess of Luck, they haven't completely stood up yet!
