Football’s First Defender

This is a free kick slightly to the right before the penalty area. Since it is too close to the goal, Ronaldo's elevator ball has no room to play, so this time, Ronaldo did not choose to try to hit the goal by himself. Instead, the right to free throws was handed over to Ryan Giggs!

The free kick in this position is indeed very suitable for a left-footed player like Giggs to complete the goal directly, and Giggs' passing ability is also very good. You can also choose to take a spin and pass the ball directly to the goal. In the penalty area, let the Manchester United players go to the top!

"Giggs! Standing alone in front of a free kick, pass the ball or hit the goal?"

"Giggs, run up!"

"Go straight to the door!"

Giggs kicked a curved ball, bypassing the human wall, and flew to the upper right corner of the goal. It's a pity that this kick hit the goal, and the ball fell too slowly. It did not fall within the range of the goal frame within the flight time Within, it flew directly out of the crossbeam!

This time, after the continuous offensive and defensive transitions of the two teams, they both created good offensive opportunities, but it is a pity that there is still no player from the first team who can seize the opportunity and score the first goal first.

After the two teams re-completed their positions and entered the offensive and defensive round of tactical arrangements, Chelsea, who returned to a conservative state, and Manchester United, who were unable to play a threatening attack on the offensive end, once again fell into an evenly matched state in the game, and the rhythm of the game changed. Caught in stagnation!

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, both Chelsea and Manchester United basically had no achievements on the offensive end. Most of the time Manchester United controlled the ball was around the midfield, making meaningless kicks. It is really impossible to use the cooperation to break into Chelsea's dangerous area!

Under Chelsea's tight defense, Manchester United's offense can create good opportunities for long-range shots, which can be regarded as an offensive success!

Giggs completed two long-range shots late in the game. Taking advantage of Ronaldo, Rooney and others' containment effect, Chelsea's defenders pay more attention to Giggs' breakthrough threat, so that Giggs can still have a certain space to hold the ball in the midfield, and he can seize the opportunity to play two rounds. Long shot!

On the Chelsea side, after Manchester United intentionally controlled the pass success rate, although Manchester United threatened fewer attacks, the corresponding counterattack opportunities for Chelsea were even less pitiful!

Before the end of the whole half, Anelka had a chance of a long-range shot over 25 meters from outside the penalty area under the double-teaming of several Manchester United defenders in a barely counterattack opportunity. It's just that this kick hit the goal, and the ball flew out of the crossbar!

The goalkeepers of both sides, Van der Sar and Cech were threatened at the end of the first half, very small! The fact that the two teams didn't have a shot on target is considered a benefit to the goalkeepers of the two teams!

It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo's positional attack was completely restricted by Essien who followed him closely at the end of the half. Essien's personal defensive ability was once again shown!

In the midfield position, Essien made Ronaldo's progress seem to be in a quagmire. Ronaldo, who was unable to comfortably catch the ball, even if he forced the ball, he could barely gain the advantage under Essien's 1v1 defense, but he wanted to Hit Chelsea's defense more deeply, but it's a little weak! Chelsea's defense, behind Essien, gave him enough support!

Although Ronaldo once wanted to enter the penalty area and rely on his height advantage to deal with Essien's defense, but Essien and Yang Feng's transposition was very tacit. When Ronaldo really entered the penalty area, he was ready to meet his teammates. When passing the ball, Yang Feng always appeared directly at the critical moment, swapped positions with Essien, and stopped in front of Ronaldo!

When Ronaldo, the absolute core of the attack, was gradually consumed by Essien, the defense line composed of the remaining Chelsea players showed their strong defensive ability and brought the game into its own rhythm!

The halftime ended 0-0, and the players of both teams walked into the locker room unwillingly. This game is destined to be a fierce battle, and it is destined to be anxious until the last moment of the game!

In Chelsea's dressing room, after all, it is the final of the Champions League. It is rare for Hiddink to show a certain degree of anxiety in the dressing room. During today's halftime break, Hiddink said a lot!

There was both the emphasis on tactics and the so-called "chicken blood" speech. Seeing Hiddink babbling endlessly, Yang Feng felt that he had never heard this old Dutch man say so much "nonsense"!

Maybe this is the Champions League final. Even if you say you don't care, it doesn't matter, but in the real game, in many details, you still can't hide the tension in your heart!

Before the game, Hiddink acted like he had the chance to win. The players had been calming down and showing their calm appearance in front of the media. However, during the game, the "abnormal" Hiddink still let everyone discover that the Dutch Man, I still care about this champion!

After all, Hiddink managed to lead the team here. Even though he was only a "firefighting" coach for half a season, Hiddink still has a lot of affection for this team and for the hard work and dedication of these disciples. I want to end my six months of miraculous experience with a champion who is worthy enough!

Chelsea players, while listening to Hiddink's indifferent "nagging", they should relax and relax, and the energy-replenishing guys are all talking and laughing, distracting some attention through some things to relieve their tension. Be nervous!

Yang Feng leaned directly on his seat, closed his eyes and meditated. He was thinking about his performance in the first half and how to play in the second half so that he can best help the team! Regarding his experience of facing Ronaldo directly for the first time, Yang Feng felt very bad!

Even though he had watched a lot of Ronaldo's attacking videos before the game, Yang Feng was still impressed by Ronaldo's outstanding physical talent when he actually faced Ronaldo!

Unlike defending Messi in the previous Champions League semi-finals, Messi is outstanding in his sense of the ball at his feet, as well as his excellent foot skills and rhythm with the ball!

Perhaps when Yang Feng really faces Messi 1v1, he may lose his football dream by Messi most of the time, but when his teammates interfere with Messi in front, it affects Messi's dribbling rhythm and forces Messi into When the dribbling direction must be carried out, Yang Feng will make up the defense in time at that time. Messi's ability to change is actually not strong, and Yang Feng's success rate in completing the defense is still very high!

But facing Ronaldo, Yang Feng still has a fresh memory of the situation in which he got a yellow card in the first half. After unloading the ball, the moment he landed, Ronaldo forcibly changed direction in an instant, the perfect combination of strength and technology, really It surprised Yang Feng who rushed over and thought he could steal the ball successfully!

Also at the beginning of the game, Ronaldo's half-turned left foot volleyed the goal under Yang Feng's defense, which also caught Yang Feng by surprise!

Regarding Ronaldo's ability to hit the goal, and the variety of moves, Yang Feng really has no time to deal with it!

Not to mention, Manchester United still has many players on the field, and their offensive ability is also world-class. If they catch the opportunity to hit the goal, Yang Feng believes that when facing them head-on, they are also not easy opponents. !

Although the teammates performed extremely well in this game, Yang Feng rarely faced Manchester United's offensive players directly, but even the best defense may make mistakes, and Manchester United's offensive tactics may not remain the same in the second half!

You know, on the bench of Manchester United, there are still Argentine "Beast" Davis and powerful forwards like "Brother Chic" Berbatov. Even Rooney can switch positions and come to the center. Position, directly facing Chelsea's central defense line!

The confrontation with Ronaldo made Yang Feng understand that he must not underestimate any opponent. These are all powerful offensive players who have left their names in football. Twice, but in such a critical game, Yang Feng cannot be allowed to adapt to the opponent's attack mode on the spot, think about the opponent's most possible attack method, and plan ahead. Yang Feng must be foolproof!

Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, and even Park Ji-sung, Ryan Giggs and others' past offensive clips flashed through Yang Feng's mind over and over again. Yang Feng had to go through it again in a limited time. These players are most willing to use dribbles and goal moves!

You know, in the past three weeks, apart from training time, Yang Feng has been repeatedly watching clips of Manchester United's offensive players.

Talent and hard work are what make a player go further and further on the road of football! Yang Feng thinks that his talent is not bad, but relying on talent alone, Yang Feng feels that his achievement may be an excellent defender, and he is far from becoming a defensive master!

Do the best in everything, since he has chosen to take the football path, Yang Feng has no intention of "enough is enough", he must pursue the best and become stronger!

Maybe now, Yang Feng can't guard against Ronaldo. After all, a player like Ronaldo may do whatever he wants on the offensive end, and his body can also reach inhuman standards to make some abnormal movements and has strong body control ability.

So for defending Ronaldo, for Yang Feng at present, his personal defensive skills are not enough. Now he can only try to block Ronaldo, try to block as much as possible, and give his teammates time to defend!

But for other people, in Yang Feng's current position, he doesn't want to let them get the chance to hit the goal so easily. Yang Feng doesn't intend to consume too much Chelsea's defensive strength, but intends to rely on himself , Complete the task on the defensive end!

The rest time passed quickly. Although Hiddink's "pre-battle declaration" in the second half was not over yet, under the urging of the referee, the Chelsea players walked out of the locker room "easily" and came to the stadium. Amidst the cheers of nearly 100,000 fans, the players of the two teams walked to their respective halfs in twos and threes. The players of the two teams all formed a circle in the half court very solemnly, expressing their respect for each other. Come on!

The second half of the game is about to begin!
