Football’s First Defender

As the saying goes, there are only three things! After the same trick is used continuously, it will no longer have novelty, and the opponent will also make the most suitable and reasonable response after many times of defense!

Manchester United's tactics have not changed in any way, and continue to attack on the left. This time Giggs chose to step forward to catch the ball and try to break through Bosingwa face to face, but this time Giggs' attack fell directly into the trap prepared by Chelsea!

Under what appeared to be a defensive error, Bosingwa gave way to Ryan Giggs' inward cut to the penalty area. An attacker like Giggs would of course seize all opportunities left by the opponent's defender's mistakes, but when Giggs After really choosing to cut in, Bosingwa suddenly stuck up, giving Giggs a lot of body to resist interference, weakening Giggs' breakthrough speed, and Bosingwa intentionally blocked Giggs' change of direction Route back to the sidewalk!

At this time, Essien, who was defending in the middle, and Anelka, who came behind Giggs to help defend, formed a three-person encirclement with Bosingwa in an instant!

When Giggs came to his senses, he had already become a turtle in the urn, unable to move. Even passing the ball, under the defense of the three, there was no way to pass the ball!

Giggs' breakthrough this time ended in failure. After the encirclement was formed, Giggs, who was unable to pass the ball, originally wanted to step on the football, try to protect it, and wanted to cause fouls by Chelsea players, but Essien's defensive experience Don't be rich, Essien looked directly at the open space and accurately broke the football at Giggs' feet! Clean and tidy, no chance for Giggs to foul!

And Chelsea launched a counterattack after Essien grabbed the ball!

This time, there were not too many inverting passes, Essien pushed forward on the spot, and then passed the ball directly to the left where Malouda is!

Malouda's running speed is very fast, but O'Shea's defensive area is very well selected. Although Malouda successfully catches the ball in the end, facing O'Shea who occupies a good position, Malouda temporarily Even within a short period of time, it is impossible to directly enter the restricted area, posing the greatest threat!

And because the other players of Manchester United returned to the defense very quickly, there was not much time left for Malouda to handle the ball. In the end, under O'Shea's forward press, Malouda forcibly chose to pick a pass to the right. Drogba on the side creates a chance!

It's just a pity that the hasty pick pass couldn't accurately cross the defense line formed by Ferdinand and Vidic. Although Drogba ran to the landing point, the ball was caught by Ferdinand, who jumped first and made a direct clearance Out of the restricted area!

Chelsea's counterattack did not pose too much threat to Manchester United this time!

Chelsea's counterattack, in fact, in this game, most of the time could not pose enough threats to Manchester United's defense! In fact, when Manchester United was attacking, Chelsea's defensive strength was all shrunk and concentrated in the backcourt, near their own 30-meter area, causing the team to wait for a pass at the front. Almost only one Drogba, other offensive players, all It was an occasional advance, and the number of people was very small, and there was no systematic counterattack routine!

Hiddink watched his team's counterattack come back in vain, and he was also thinking carefully on the sidelines. After the team has done a good job of defending at the current stage, whether the team should properly invest in the number of offensive players in the second half of the game, and the ball The team's overall formation has been raised, and it is time to strengthen the offense!

Since the number of counterattacks is not enough and the threat is not enough, the most important reason is that Chelsea have left too many people in the backcourt for defense, making it impossible for Chelsea players to invest a large number of players in the first time when counterattacking!

Then move the formation forward to form a stronger defense in the midfield. Even if the defense line is advanced by 5 meters, it can create a greater threat at the initial time of the counterattack!

In fact, Chelsea did not want to win the ball, so that they could organize the attack patiently, but it is a pity that the number of people on the offensive end did not dare to invest, making Chelsea's offensive position not as threatening as a counterattack!

When Chelsea wanted to organize an offense, Manchester United's defensive positioning was very slow, making Manchester United's defense actually quite strong and airtight!

Chelsea's offense, facing Manchester United's defense, there is not much to do! There are not so many offensive players, it is really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

The outstanding performance of Manchester United's defense is naturally due to the tacit understanding of Manchester United's players in the backcourt. Although Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney are not so active in the frontcourt, a Park Ji-sung is enough for Manchester United's midfield defense!

Park Ji-sung, the No. 1 brother in Korea, and even the No. 1 brother in Asia, is most commendable for his enthusiasm and his ability not to run to death!

Not only on the offensive end, Park Ji-sung has excellent performance and can effectively complete the offensive containment task on his own side. On the defensive end, Park Ji-sung is also running desperately throughout the court without any thought of conserving energy, running up and down, Like a defensive midfielder, covering Manchester United's entire midfield position! Almost one person formed a line of defense!

Park Ji-sung even has a nickname, known as "Park Sanfei"! It is because of his excellent running ability and his tireless style that Park Ji-sung has been recognized by everyone. You know, an Asian player, a yellow man, in football, can get most of the self-esteemed England. How difficult it is to be recognized by people!

When Chelsea is organizing an attack, in the process of passing the ball, there will always be a small figure who appears out of nowhere. This is Park Ji-sung, who is always running some seemingly meaningless, but Indeed, it must have caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the Chelsea players!

Manchester United and Chelsea, in this game, in most cases, it is like playing a turn-based game. When you attack, I defend with all my might. When I attack, I have to face the iron wall you put up !

Neither team's offense could easily break the opponent's defense, but when the defense was successful, because their own players retreated to defend, there were not enough frontcourt players to play a truly effective counterattack!

The real opening and closing, the two sides quickly completed consecutive offensive and defensive transitions, which was just the first half! It can be said that the madness of the two teams at that time was due to the intertwining of various accidental factors, while at other times, the conservative nature of the two teams and the deep feeling that they could not afford to lose this game made the two teams fight against each other. Carefully handle various situations!

However, Manchester United, which thinks it has an advantage in strength, is still the team that dares to attack more! This is also the reason why Manchester United has always had the advantage of possession on the court!

It is true that Chelsea's strength is really defense, Hiddink, dare not take the risk to compete with Manchester United for the offensive initiative in this kind of game!

"Manchester United regained the offensive initiative after successfully defending against Chelsea's two attacks in a row!"

"Chelsea's offense is just a taste every time. When there is no breakthrough in the middle, most of them choose to go directly to the side, use the pass, and find the lone striker Drogba in the penalty area!"

"But under the defensive line composed of Ferdinand and Vidic, it is difficult for Drogba to get a chance to compete for the top in the penalty area!"

"Occasionally, Anelka would move into the box from the right and get involved in the top fight, distracting United's central defenders, but on the whole, this single cross from Chelsea It is difficult to pose enough threats!"

Ferguson on the sidelines, when Manchester United regained control of the ball, began to call the nearby Manchester United players to whisper something, let the team prepare for a new attack according to his latest tactical arrangement!

On the Manchester United bench, Tevez, Berbatov, Scholes and many other offensive players began to warm up at the request of Ferguson to ensure that they can be replaced by Ferguson in the game at any time!

After passing thousands of messages to each other, the players of Manchester United got Ferguson's latest tactical arrangement, and everyone prepared to carry out corresponding offensive methods according to the tactical requirements!

Who is the boss of the Red Devils? Always Ferguson! This is the prestige accumulated by countless champions in the Premier League era, and the powerful aura Ferguson accumulated for himself in the Red Devils era!

Any superstar, whether it is a bought player or a Red Devil disciple trained by himself, on the football field, he must listen to Ferguson, and he can only listen to Ferguson!

Ferguson can give some players a certain degree of privileges, but these so-called privileges are all under the framework set by Ferguson. When Ferguson asks players to return to tactics, if the players have any meaning, then a "hair dryer" It is indispensable!

Back then, David Beckham, a member of the Manchester United youth training class in Class 92, a symbol of Manchester United, and with great commercial value, was rejected by Ferguson when he performed too well on the court, paid too much attention off the court, and refused to listen to repeated persuasion. Sold directly to Real Madrid without hesitation!

For Ferguson, players must never be above the team, above the tactics! Players are players, and they should be responsible for playing well. According to the coach's tactics, just play beautiful football!

At Manchester United at this time, all the players are meticulously implementing Ferguson's tactical arrangements! No one would choose to disobey Ferguson's tactics in such a critical game, choose to discount in private!

Even the substitute players who were warming up on the sidelines were concentrating on warming up, not daring to be lazy! They are also eager to get a chance to play in such an important game!

"Carrick holds the ball in the midfield! Now the ball is passed to Evra on the left. Are you going to launch a strong attack on the left again?"

"Evra took the ball forward by himself, facing Anelka's defense, he didn't worry about losing the ball at all!"

After all, Anelka is still an offensive player. He can be used as a right midfielder and participate in the defense during the game, but you can't expect Anelka to be like a defensive player. Can alone, complete a successful defense!

All Anelka needs to do is to ensure that his defense does not lose his position, try to maintain interference with Evra, and wait for the support of his teammates!

"Evra kept trying to get rid of Anelka, but in the process of Evra and Anelka's entanglement on the wing, Chelsea's midfielders were already in place!"

"Lampard, take the lead in defending!"

Evra, looking at the direction of Lampard's attack, decisively chose to pass the ball back to the center before Lampard stepped forward to the position!

And it was Carrick who rushed over from the center to meet him. Carrick held the ball, and without any interference from Chelsea players in an instant, he directly chose a long pass to the right!

"Carrick, transferred the ball to the right side of the field. Park Ji-sung was on the right side and received a pass from Carrick!"

"In this game, the Korean Pu Zhi has run a full six kilometers so far, and he is indeed worthy of his iron lung!"

"Park Ji-sung, after getting the ball, he was very decisive and rushed directly to Chelsea's defense line!"

After Park Ji-sung took the ball, O'Shea finally started to cross the midfield line and began to participate in Manchester United's offense!

Taking O'Shea's participation in the offense as the benchmark also marks that Manchester United really intends to invest more power in the offensive end and try to find a way to score goals!

Malouda wanted to contain O'Shea who suddenly got in, so he had to withdraw it properly and put a certain amount of pressure on Park Ji-sung! But unable to come over, help Ashley Cole defend Park Ji-sung!

"Park Ji-sung is running deep on the right and dribbling the ball forward quickly, and he is constantly tearing up with Ashley Cole along the way!"

Park Ji-sung has a lot of vigor. In fact, for Asian players, the natural disadvantages in physical fitness make them need a lot of vigor if they want to gain a foothold in the top European teams. Not only must they be ruthless to the enemy, but also to themselves. Be more ruthless!

Park Ji-sung's physical confrontation ability is indeed not very good, but Park Ji-sung dares to carry the ball and be tough on the wing with Ashley Cole!

Constantly stopping, changing directions, trying to turn around, and constantly confronting each other, Park Ji-sung seemed to be in a personal fight with Ashley Cole!

The fear of Manchester United's attack on the left makes Chelsea's defenders choose to defend their own area when Manchester United is aggressively pressing up, rather than teammate Ashley Cole occupying a fairly good defensive situation. To leave the position hastily to double-team Park Ji-sung!

However, Malouda and Lampard really want to move properly on Ashley Cole's side. Although they don't double-team, they must also be in an area that can be supported, in case something happens to the defense on this side. Accident!

The reason why Chelsea lacks personnel on Ashley Cole's side is that, firstly, because Manchester United focused on their left attack, Chelsea's defenders naturally tended to this side; The side defense, and Malouda can help, because O'Shea has always been in the midfield before, and will not overstep the barrier, but now, suddenly, with O'Shea's forward penetration, there is also a shift in the main direction of Manchester United's attack , It did catch the Chelsea players by surprise!

But Park Ji-sung, just like this, and Ashley Cole, kept fighting back and forth on the wing! In the end, Park Zhixing barely passed the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area!

It's just that the ball was too reluctant, the ball was indeed passed, but in the end, it fell into the penalty area, and Cech, who had been paying attention to the situation on the side, picked it off directly and steadily! Did not give the Manchester United players in the penalty area a chance to compete!
