Football’s First Defender

"Chelsea almost had the chance to win the game in the final stage of the game. It's a pity that Lampard's long-range shot hit the post!"

"And the pillar, will it become a symbol of Manchester United's luck?"

"Manchester United survived the catastrophe, will there be future blessings?"

"When Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United, there were two Champions League finals. In 1999, they were hit by Bayern twice. In last year's Champions League final, they were hit by today's opponent, Chelsea. But the final winner of the game , under the blessing of the goalposts, it's all Manchester United!"

"In today's game, at the last moment of the game, the goal post once again stood up to defend Manchester United's gate from being breached again. Is this a sign of Manchester United's victory in this game?"

Lampard's excellent long-range shot was just a little short of scoring! What a pity!

The players of Manchester United were also completely awakened by Lampard's threatening kick!

Just a little bit away, Manchester United will be reversed by Chelsea with two goals in the last ten minutes of regular time!

And the Manchester United players who were frightened into a cold sweat by Lampard's long-range shot on the post, immediately entered the game state after the game restarted. They only know how to cherish when they lose it!

When the score was just equalized by Chelsea, it was already heart-wrenching for the Manchester United players. They felt that the cooked duck was flying, and they felt that they were holding the championship trophy in their hands, but they had to wait for more game time. Go and put in more effort!

But now, almost being directly scored by Lampard's long-range shot, he was almost reversed and eliminated by Chelsea. Indeed, he can only use more painful things to smooth out the previous injuries!

Think about your own team is still in the game, the two sides are still a draw, instead of being reversed and falling behind, the players of Manchester United, after the thrilling, immediately recovered their fighting spirit for the game!

At the last moment of the second half of the game, Chelsea finally took advantage of their momentum after equalizing the score and achieved a good suppression effect on the scene!

And Lampard's wonderful long-range shot further made Chelsea's offensive more and more fierce!

Manchester United's defense was in a precarious situation during the period of conceding the ball. However, as the game time drew to a close, the Manchester United players began to return to their spirits, and the state of the game began to return to normal. , the two teams have begun to be somewhat evenly matched!

Without the momentum bonus, it is also because the regular 90-minute stoppage time is not too much, neither team is willing to leave a chance for the opponent at the last moment, but transitions smoothly and prepares for the next overtime game!

"With the whistle of the referee, the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea ended in a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes!"

"The two teams will play in overtime immediately after a short break!"

In the last time of the game, Chelsea launched several offensives, all of which returned without success!

Especially after Lampard shot a wonderful long shot, the Manchester United players, against the long shot of Chelsea players, carried out a key defense in the middle!

Lampard and Ballack no longer have the opportunity to easily hit the goal from long distances, and they no longer have enough space for passing the ball!

And Chelsea transferred the ball to the wing and carried out the tactic of crossing from the wing. After Manchester United's defense returned to normal levels, due to the lack of offensive personnel in the penalty area, there was no way to create too good opportunities for Drogba and the others. !

However, the game entered overtime, not to mention that the balance of victory has been tilted towards Chelsea, but it is definitely not the same as in regular time, with a high probability of leaning towards Manchester United!

Chelsea's biggest advantage now is that Hiddink still has two substitutions, which can be adjusted. As for Manchester United, if they replaced three people early, not only will there be no room for adjustment, but they will also worry about player injuries. Sickness and physical problems!

Hiddink had already thought about how to play his second card!

Unlike Manchester United's bench on the other side, Ferguson started his own "hair dryer" mode to "encourage" the players!

Hiddink did not make too many tactical arrangements, but emphasized the defense of the two sides, especially the marking of Ronaldo, which was listed as the top priority by Hiddink!

And as early as when deploying tactics, Anelka had already been informed by Hiddink that he would be substituted, and it was Kalou who replaced him!

Hiddink knew that at this time, he had to replace with a more dynamic player on the wing to help Chelsea do better on both ends of the offense and defense!

In Chelsea's current lineup, Kalou may be the only one who can do this!

Hiddink hopes that Kalu can help Ivanovic better defend his own right, and can also help Drogba share greater offensive pressure through his flexible running position and speed during the counterattack !

"At the beginning of extra time, Chelsea made the second substitution of the game, Kalou replaced Anelka! This is a match-up substitution! But compared to Anelka, Kalou, Although the ability to compete for headers in the penalty area is not strong, but its speed advantage can better open up Manchester United's defensive space for Drogba!"

In the last 30 minutes of the duel, Hiddink will also start to seek greater development on the offensive end. He wants Chelsea to show a better state on the offensive end!

Given the choice, no one wants to play brutal penalty shootouts!

Therefore, at the beginning of overtime, the two teams directly confronted Maimang, looking like they were going to fight each other!

"Chelsea take the lead!"

"At the beginning of extra time, Chelsea obviously continued the offensive suppression situation before the end of regular time. The formation continued to improve as a whole, and they started to attack more proactively!"

"Chelsea attack on the left!"

After all, Kalou's job position is still forward or wing forward, Chelsea's purest wide player, that is, Malouda alone!

Therefore, although Kalou's side is newly replaced, Chelsea's main wing attack point must still be Malouda's side. Kalou's side only needs to have its own when transferring the ball to the right. Just play!

"Malouda and Bosingwa made a wall collision on the left flank!"

"Malouda, take the ball and go straight to the bottom!"

Because Chelsea replaced Anelka, they lost Anelka, a striker who can compete for high balls in the penalty area. Therefore, as an offensive supplement, in Hiddink's tactics, Ballack will have to play on both sides. When dribbling the ball forward, he moved forward even more and entered the penalty area, serving as Chelsea's second point of contention in the Manchester United penalty area to help Drogba share the pressure!

And when Kalu is attacking from the left of Chelsea, he can also decide to enter the Manchester United penalty area according to the situation, and try to see if there is a chance to miss it in the latter point!

"Malouda crossed!"

As a black player, Malouda has nothing to say about his physical fitness. Even in overtime, Malouda can still guarantee his speed. O'Shea's defense on this side is starting to be more and more at a disadvantage. !

"In the penalty area, Vidic resisted Drogba!"

"The nearby Fletcher is also blocking Barack who is inserted into the penalty area!"

"And Ferdinand occupied the best top position without too much interference from his opponents!"

"Ferdinand, header clearance..."

Chelsea's first attack ignited the fighting enthusiasm between the two teams in batches!

On Manchester United's side, they turned around and hit back directly on their right!

Although O'Shea is on the offensive end, he can't get too far ahead, and he doesn't have the speed and breakthrough ability to play against the wall with Ronaldo!

But Ronaldo alone is enough!

O'Shea pressed the formation behind Ronaldo, holding back most of Malouda's attention for Ronaldo. Although Malouda has a certain defensive distance against O'Shea, he can ensure that he can be closer to Bosingwa. A certain interference ability, but when O'Shea had an assist, Malouda did not dare to let O'Shea pass the ball unscrupulously!

Therefore, Ronaldo only needs to deal with one and a half people on the side. Malouda is equivalent to half a person's defense. Although there is a certain amount of interference, for Ronaldo, his own strength on the side is still Dominant!

"C Ronaldo! Received the ball on the right!"

"Taking the ball is like stepping on a bicycle! Before Malouda got back in place and Essien in the middle came to help defend, Ronaldo suddenly pulled the ball to the right and went straight to the bottom!"

The defensive task Bosingwa got from Hiddink is very clear. All defensive actions must be based on the premise of restricting Ronaldo from breaking into the penalty area. Ronaldo must not be allowed to break into the penalty area with the ball!

After that, it is necessary to interfere with Ronaldo's direct shots from the outside as much as possible. As for Ronaldo's cross from the wing, Hiddink classified it as Ronaldo's least threatening offensive method. In order to do the first two points, Bosingwa The defense can properly weaken the attack on Ronaldo's pass to ensure that one's own defensive position is within a controllable range!

As for Ronaldo who dribbled the ball to the bottom at this time, there is still room for his dribbling. Although his steps are very large and his speed is fast, Ronaldo still has confidence. You can stop immediately and change direction to return to a carbine!

But Ronaldo has been watching Bosingwa's defense from the corner of his eye. Although Bosingwa is keeping up with Ronaldo, he has controlled the distance very well. For Ronaldo, no matter whether he chooses to insert forward into the penalty area, Still stop abruptly, change direction and enter the penalty area, Bosingwa will maintain the best defensive position and complete the blocking of himself!

Cristiano Ronaldo also knows in his heart that Chelsea's defense will definitely not let Bosingwa be one-on-one to deal with him all the time. At this time, because he dribbles deep into Chelsea's hinterland, Essien in the middle still has behind him. Malouda may be coming at full speed, and there is not much room for Ronaldo to operate!

Since he chooses to cut in, there is a high probability that he will be successfully blocked by Bosingwa, then Ronaldo simply does not do anything, and directly completes the bottom and passes into the penalty area!

"Ronaldo! A cross!"

"Inside the penalty area! Manchester United's Tevez, Rooney, and even Scholes have inserted into the penalty area from the middle, ready to fight for the top!"

Within Chelsea's restricted area, Tevez still wants to continue to be Manchester United's savior!

Facing Ronaldo's right pass, Tevez ran directly to the landing area after judging the approximate landing area, wanting to complete another header!

But this time, Yang Feng's defense against Tevez was very good! After Chelsea's defense was clearly assigned to defend Manchester United, because Tevez and Rooney's style difference was not so obvious, Yang Feng, who was scored by Tevez in the matchup, directly took the initiative to take over Tevez's defense The task, Yang Feng, is to prove himself in the following games, using facts to explain that the first conceded goal was just an accident!

So this time, Yang Feng was in charge of defending Tevez, but he concentrated all his attention, without any relaxation, and fixed on Tevez!

When Ronaldo passed the ball, Yang Feng immediately made the best judgment, not only to run to the area where Ronaldo passed the ball, but also to take the lead in grabbing the position and directly blocking Tevez's advancing route!

When Tevez wanted to quickly run to the landing point, he found that Yang Feng had already taken half of the upper body advantage. Yang Feng's defense!

But this time, Yang Feng came prepared, adjusted his body to the best confrontation state, and directly confronted Tevez head-on!

After all, Yang Feng has an advantage in height and weight, this time Yang Feng is still taking the lead in terms of body position, and he is fully prepared mentally!

This time, Carlos Tevez has no advantage!

"Tevez and Yang Feng, the two confronted each other and ran towards the landing point of Ronaldo's pass!"

"Yang Feng, it's obvious that he has always been in the lead in terms of stature, and Tevez's height disadvantage is too obvious!"

"Sure enough! Yang Feng finally completed the header with ease!"

"Tevez is behind Yang Feng, there is no chance to grab this spot!"

Yang Feng's defense against Tevez was very successful this time, and it can be regarded as a re-justification of his name in this direct confrontation!

And Ronaldo's pass did not achieve a very good cross effect!

Although the defenses of the two teams are unable to do so, they can completely limit the offensive methods of both sides, but they all choose to give the opponent some of the least dangerous offensive methods to completely block the highly threatening offensive methods!

In this kind of overtime game in the final period, Manchester United and Chelsea are surprisingly consistent in the general direction of tactics. They both want to achieve results on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, they use the least threatening Way to ensure the team's defense!

Although the two teams can definitely invest more players on the defensive end to ensure that the defensive strength is improved again, but at this time, Hiddink and Ferguson are still in the midfield when their own team is defending. A counterattack team of two to three people allows the team to have a strong enough counterattack force. After a successful defense, it can give the enemy a fatal blow when counterattacking!
