Football’s First Defender

"O'Shea got the header from Fletcher's clearance!"

"Without any procrastination, O'Shea passed the ball directly to Carrick, the commander of the team's midfield!"

"Carrick! Go forward with the ball!"

In this game, although Chelsea was in the defense of the backcourt most of the time, Chelsea's defense relied on the individual ability of the players and teamwork, rather than relying on constant fouls like some teams. To block the opponent's attack!

So except for a few people who have hidden dangers of yellow cards, Chelsea's midfielders have never received a yellow card before!

Chelsea's players had already anticipated Manchester United's possible counterattack threat after their attack, so foul, foul, foul again!

Manchester United must not be allowed to play a threatening counterattack. Chelsea cannot afford to concede a second goal. It is absolutely necessary to use fouls to contain Manchester United's threatening attack in the bud!

On the way Carrick dribbled the ball forward, Lampard was already facing up and preparing to foul!

They are all old fritters who have been in the Premier League for many seasons. Carrick knows that this group of people will never talk about sportsmanship. It is simply unrealistic for opponents to compete fairly and play well at this time!

Sometimes fouls are the biggest help to the team. As a defensive midfielder, Carrick often chooses to block directly when the opponent has a threatening counterattack!

Pushing others with himself, Carrick knew that Lampard must have bad intentions when he rushed over!

"Carrick! Directly pass the ball diagonally and pass the ball to Giggs on the left!"

"Lampard, he couldn't catch up, after Carrick passed the ball, he was still running at a high speed and bumped into Carrick!"

"The referee signaled that the attacking side is in favor!"

On the other hand, after receiving a pass from Carrick, Giggs dribbled the ball quickly into the hinterland of Chelsea!

Ivanovic has already retreated to his defensive area and is waiting for it!

As for Manchester United, Tevez, Ronaldo, and Anderson are all advancing quickly, in the center and on the right, opening up the defender for Giggs' breakthrough and giving him enough space!

"Giggs! Rape Ivanovic!"

"Accelerate! Accelerate! Giggs took advantage of his speed!"

"It's over! It's over!"

For the speed-type winger, Ivanovic really doesn't have many options, but since he knows that he can't defend the opponent's breakthrough, Ivanovic will not force it, but in the process of chasing back. , Keep a certain amount of interference to Giggs, and just keep your defensive position!

Since it is not easy to defend, then choose the lesser of two evils, let Giggs cross, and not give Giggs a chance to cut inside the penalty area!

"Giggs! I went straight to the bottom line on the left! A cross!"

"In the penalty area, Manchester United's Carlos Tevez is fighting to move forward!"

"C Ronaldo also moved from the right into the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity at the back point!"

"Giggs' pass, passed to the front point!"

Tevez's running position is still very good, and his ability to seize opportunities is also very strong, otherwise he would not have given Yang Feng a big blow as soon as he came on the field, and caught Chelsea's defense by surprise!

But this time, Yang Feng, who was more defensive, followed Tevez closely when Manchester United counterattacked, not allowing him too much space. Tevez suddenly changed direction and ran forward, and Yang Feng followed closely. In the last step, Yang Feng took advantage of his long legs and stepped directly in front of Tevez to help him complete the blocking task. Afterwards, Yang Feng caught up and blocked Tevez's progress with his tall body, and then took off directly. Blocked Giggs' pass this time!

"Yang Feng! This time he successfully completed the defense and did not give Tevez a chance to compete for the top! Manchester United's throw-in!"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the referee gave Lampard a yellow card as a punishment for Lampard's counterattack against Carrick!

"Evra throws it in! Throws it to Fletcher!"

Anyway, the game time is constantly passing. Manchester United, holding a one-goal lead, naturally began to play with the ball, but Chelsea had already anticipated this situation.

But Manchester United still has enough courage at this time to leave enough offensive numbers in the frontcourt!

"Fletcher passes to Vidic in defense!"

"Vidic, facing Anelka's charge, chose to transfer the ball to O'Shea on the right side of the pitch!"

"O'Shea, before Malouda arrives, return the ball to the retreating Carrick!"

"Chelsea players are constantly coming forward to press!"

"Carrick! With a sudden lateral move, he got rid of the forward Lampard and got a certain space for passing the ball. He directly made a long pass and found Ronaldo on the right side of the front field!"

"C Ronaldo! Confront Bosingwa and run to the spot!"

Carrick's pass is very precise. This pass is closer to the outside of the right, which is very conducive to Ronaldo's stop. Bosingwa is in defense. After seeing that there is not much opportunity, he can only choose to give up. Instead of directly fighting for the landing point, stand your own position and prepare to face Ronaldo's next breakthrough!

Perfect unloading basic skills, Ronaldo stopped the ball within his control range, and then turned sideways directly, facing Bosingwa's defense, he needed 1v1 to complete the breakthrough!

"C Ronaldo, with the ball on the right, trying to break into Chelsea's penalty area!"

"Bosingwa is on the alert!"

"The former Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole couldn't defend Ronaldo. After calling his teammates to help defend, O'Shea had an open pass. Now, Bossin, who was transferred to the left to defend by Hiddink Wat, what happens when defending Ronaldo?"

Chelsea's tight defense in the frontcourt also made their team's backcourt defense wide open. Although they still have an advantage in the number of defenders, after all, the distance between players is very large, and Ronaldo's defense cannot be timely. Come!

"Bosingwa has been defending and retreating all the time. He is waiting for his teammates to return to the defense! Malouda and Essien in the middle are rushing over!"

"C Ronaldo! Started to step on a bicycle!"

Ronaldo of the later generations actually used the action of stepping on a bicycle very frequently, but the action of stepping on a bicycle is very simple, that is, a bicycle, and then suddenly pull the ball to the left or right, open a certain space and then directly shoot from a long distance Open the door!

For the defenders facing Ronaldo alone, it is definitely not an easy task to prevent Ronaldo from hitting the goal!

Although Ronaldo has not yet practiced this skill to its peak, he is familiar with it!

"Suddenly pull the ball to the left! It hit the goal directly!"

Bosingwa also wanted to stretch his legs to block Ronaldo's kick, but Ronaldo took advantage of his height and leg length, and every time he pulled the ball after stepping on the bicycle, he would pull the ball far away, and then directly and quickly complete the kick Even if the defender reacts to the goal and wants to stretch his legs to stop it, it is not an easy task!

"C Ronaldo's long shot!"

Ronaldo's kick hit the goal suddenly, with great force, and even the ball was still falling in the air, but fortunately, the shooting position of this ball was not too big. Cech, who has been paying attention to this side, is steady He held the ball in his arms without making a mistake!

You know, Carlos Tevez is watching Cech, and if Cech appears to let go, he will step forward to make up shots!

Without wasting time, Cech held the ball and ran to the penalty spot, with a big foot, he drove directly to the frontcourt!

Since some of Chelsea's players were pressing against Manchester United's players in the frontcourt, at this time, a direct counterattack in the frontcourt is a big enough threat!

"Peter Cech has a big foot and drives towards Manchester United's half!"

"Drogba, run to where Petr Cech landed with Ferdinand who is defending him!"

During the running process, Drogba's physical confrontation ability can be brought into full play!

Ferdinand's physical strength advantage cannot be fully utilized during the running process, so he can only block Drogba's running route as much as possible, but Drogba still runs to the landing position first, occupying a good contending position!

"Drogba, took off at the same time as Ferdinand, and Drogba, who occupies a better position, still reached the landing point of Petr Cech's big pass!"

"Drogba headed the ball directly to Anelka who came over from the right!"

"Anelka, stopped the ball directly to the front, and continued to break through without slowing down the earth!"

"Evra and Vidic, two people are ready to double-team Anelka!"

Facing the defensive players in front of Manchester United, Anelka also knew that it was unrealistic to forcefully break through the past, so Anelka chose to make an emergency stop and move laterally!

After opening a certain angle, Anelka directly kicked a long shot! Shoot the ball towards the goal!

"Anelka, a sudden long-range shot!"

"Van der Sar! Soaring up into the air, in the position of sinking into the line, he flew and dragged out Anelka's kick with one hand!"

As Chelsea's top scorer this season, after Drogba's return from injury, Anelka has a limited playing time and a winger position that is not the most suitable for him, but he still has an excellent scoring rate. It is because Anelka's excellent game state has continued this season!

Throughout the game, Anelka, who had no chance on the offensive end, could seize the opportunity even if there was such a long-range shot during the game, posing a huge threat to Manchester United!

Fortunately, although Van der Sar's position was forward, he was well prepared for Anelka's long-range shot and reacted quickly, but his palm rest prevented Anelka from using a world wave. Go through Manchester United's goal!

"Chelsea's corner!"

The game time has entered 80 minutes. Every offensive opportunity must be cherished. For Chelsea, the honor and disgrace of the whole season depends on whether they can equalize the score in the last 10 minutes and let this final resume. To a state full of suspense!
