Football’s First Defender

In order to promote the Premier League in the new season, especially for the increasingly popular Chinese market, the kick-off time of the game will continue to be fully close to the Asian time!

The most eye-catching Chelsea team, because Yang Feng is in the team, has a large fan base in mainland China, so it was naturally selected as the opening game of the new season of the Premier League, and the game time was also arranged in China The prime time, 19:45!

After Chelsea defeated the visiting Hull City 2-1, the start time of the first round of the Premier League big group match followed. There were as many as 6 Premier League games kicked off at the same time, all at 22:00 pm BJ time At the beginning, it can be said that the "golden time" of the Premier League gave Chinese fans who were used to staying up late and hurting their bodies a coherent and not too late viewing welfare time!

Although the six Premier League games that started at the same time at 10 o'clock in the evening did not have the participation of the four giants of the Premier League, this seemingly "pecking each other" game can also show the style of each team in the Premier League. , See the charm of the Premier League!

For many senior Premier League fans, these 6 games are not without interest. For example, in Manchester, the Manchester City club, which has been sponsored by oil capital in the past two years, is the team that many Chinese fans have been paying attention to.

Back then, when Sun Jihai was still playing for Manchester City, many fans regarded Manchester City as their home team. Although the "Chinese Sun" has left Manchester City now, it does not prevent some fans from considering Manchester City as the second team besides Chelsea. home team.

And I have to say that Manchester City has indeed been very strong in terms of signings in the past two seasons. With hundreds of millions of pounds spent, Manchester City's strength is also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, especially in the overcrowded midfield. It is said that the stars are shining.

And Manchester City did not waste their excellent midfield configuration. The audience who stayed to watch Manchester City with the help of Chelsea's previous high traffic, witnessed Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Blackburn in the away game. Its excellent offensive ability and Robinho's personal performance also made them There are countless fans among Chinese fans.

After the start of the big group, the second big team on the first match day will be on the stage. The Arsenal team, which has achieved a profit in the transfer market for another year, still guarantees its offensive firepower. New players in the team are discovered every time, and Professor Wenger's position remains very stable!

In the first game of the new season, Arsenal beat "Toffee" Everton 6-1 away, and directly sent themselves to the top of the list with five goal difference!

On the first match day, they fought 8 games in a row. In Sunday's game, although there were only two Premier League games, they still relied on the two giants to attract enough attention.

In Sunday's game, the first game was still played in China's prime time. At 20:30, the defending champion Manchester United faced the newly promoted Birmingham at Old Trafford. With Rooney's goal, Manchester United easily won 1-0. Give the Red Devils who are worried about Manchester United's injuries in the new season a reassurance!

In the final game of the first round of the Premier League kick-off at 23:00, Liverpool, one of the four giants who played the finale, overturned at White Hart Lane. Although the Red Army captain Gerrard scored a goal, Liverpool's overall performance was very poor. In the end, the away game was 1-2, and they hated White Hart Lane. In the first round of the league, they fell into the ranks of chasers.

Regarding the live broadcast time of Premier League games, although fans in the UK have begun to criticize the kick-off time of the game getting earlier and earlier, the bright sunshine sometimes affects the on-site viewing experience. However, for the benefit of the overall Premier League broadcast rights and promotion worldwide, the Premier League is still more inclined to stabilize the game time into the current situation. The income from the Asian market is gradually becoming an indispensable part of the Premier League broadcast income. a part of.

As for the Chinese fans, I have to say that more people like or try to watch Premier League games, especially after Yang Feng "led" Chelsea to win the Champions League, even some "rich" fans have to admit , Chelsea has really become the so-called traditional giants now, and the Premier League game brings together the four giants, and the game format is exciting, and the suspense of the championship is indeed more attractive to neutral fans than other leagues with clear strengths and weaknesses...

Interestingly, in the first round of Premier League games, after 10 games, all were decided, and there was no tie. Although there were 2 1-0 games and 4 2-0 low scores, Arsenal contributed 1 game. 7 goals, but it also makes most people enjoy watching.

After CCTV bought the rights to broadcast the Premier League, even though there were several online platforms that spent a lot of money to divert viewers through the live broadcast at the same time, in terms of ratings, the ratings of the first round of the Premier League game still crushed the other games.

Among them, there is a big reason for taking care of the so-called "golden time" in Europe. In other leagues, for the games of the giants, they are still willing to arrange them in the early morning. After having the option, the games of the Premier League giants Time is obviously more favored by Chinese fans.

After the first round of the Premier League, the Chelsea team began to work overtime to hone some of Ancelotti's own new tactics while preparing for the new round.

For An Pang, he is a coach who has proven himself in a wealthy team. Although the core players of Chelsea's team have been stable over the years, they can try a new attack by adjusting one or two starting positions. Tactics, imprinting his own tactical imprint on Chelsea is still feasible for An Pang.

In the second round of the league, Chelsea began to try Ancelotti's new offensive tactics in the game against "Black Cat" Sunderland.

In this game, Deco started the game, defended at the midfielder position, and organized the offense.

And the previous defensive midfielder Essien was placed on the right side by Ancelotti, acting as the right midfielder in the diamond-shaped midfielder, but Essien's attributes determine that he can only be on the right side for the team Contribute more to defense.

In view of Essien's weak defensive and weak attributes, Ancelotti simply used Ivanovic, who performed better on the offensive end, to replace Bosingwa as the right back in this game. Oddly plug in to strengthen the offensive strength on the right.

The midfielder position is Lampard, while the left midfielder is still Malouda.

Although there is Zhirkov, the Russian direct descendant of the boss Abramovich bought at a high price, Ancelotti is very clear that Zhirkov can play tens of minutes every game to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, but Still unable to shake Malouda's starting position.

Although Sunderland's strength may be a little stronger than Hull City, in their own Stadium of Light, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of "Black Cat" fans, they did perform very well in the opening game.

But the hard power of the team lies there. Although Ancelotti's 442 diamond midfield tactics also made Chelsea's players play a little awkwardly, but relying on the strong personal strength of the players, Chelsea still completed two seasons. The task of winning streak, but the progress of the game is a bit thrilling for Chelsea players.

Sunderland's forward player, Darren Bent's long-range shot in the 18th minute of the first half successfully pried Cech's ten fingers off, and then Sunderland, who returned to defense with all their members, faced the right Because Essien acts as a right midfielder, and the offensive power is obviously not outstanding, Chelsea's left attack also has a center, and more manpower is deployed for defensive control.

In the first half of the game, Chelsea occupied 70% of the ball possession rate but only completed 8 kicks. The offensive combination with a lame leg was really unable to organize a threatening attack. And Sunderland, after hitting the goal with 3 kicks in the opening game and scoring a long shot to take the lead, they were completely "slave" at home. In the next 30 minutes of the game, they even had a large-scale counterattack. There was no shot, and everyone was defending with peace of mind.

During the intermission, Ancelotti decisively made adjustments to the fact that Chelsea's right flank was not threatening enough, and Lampard was acting as a front midfielder alone, and was also strictly guarded by Sunderland's backcourt players.

Ballack came off the bench at the start of the second half, acting as a right midfielder, replacing Essien to strengthen Chelsea's attack.

After replacing Ballack with a strong offensive ability, Chelsea's offense has obviously improved compared to the first half, with smoother ball transmission, and the increased threat of attack from the right has also attracted Sunderland's defensive attention. , Created certain opportunities for the offense of other lanes.

Lampard was in the middle, and after Ballack shared the pressure on the offensive end, his performance became better and better. In the 56th minute of the game, Lampard succeeded in a long shot and equalized the score for Chelsea.

After returning to the same starting line, Chelsea's subsequent offense became more comfortable after there was no pressure to catch up.

And Sunderland is still holding on. For these teams that have always aimed at relegation, scoring 1 point against the giants is also a victory.

Chelsea's ball possession rate was once close to 80% in the real-time data of the game, and the super high ball possession rate and smooth offense in the second half also brought Chelsea more shooting opportunities.

In the 61st minute of the game, Chelsea's offensive made a comeback. Ballack received a pass from Lampard in the penalty area and directly chose to volley. The ball went straight to the dead corner. Chelsea completed the overtake of the score.

At this time, even if Sunderland wanted to attack and look for offensive opportunities, the strength of the players was limited. Several direct long passes without cooperation were resolved by Yang Feng and Terry. For the middle and lower teams, this kind of With a mindless long pass to find the only offensive point in the frontcourt, Yang Feng became the absolute guarantee for Chelsea's defense when they abused food.

In the 70th minute, when Chelsea was attacking, Deco's long-range shot was inserted in a timely manner, completely sealing the victory for Chelsea.

Sunderland, who fell behind by 2 goals, also directly chose to disarm and surrender after several long-range shots to no avail.

Chelsea's schedule at the beginning of this season can definitely be said to be a sweet schedule. It may also be Chelsea's act of winning the Champions League. There is no suspense to establish the team's points lead in the early stage.

In the third round of the league, Chelsea played an away game against Fulham, the "farmer" who is also a London team.

Although Fulham's explosive performance last season has become a mid-upper team, it is only because of the loss of players in the transfer market this season and the team's distraction from the Europa League (from the UEFA Cup in 2009. The reason for changing the name to UEFA Europa League) is not a big threat to Chelsea. After all, the team had just fought against the Russian Super League team in the final round of qualifying two days before facing Chelsea.

Facing Fulham with poor physical fitness, of course Chelsea did not show mercy in this London derby. They easily defeated Fulham 2-0 in the away game. In the third round of the league, Chelsea finally completed the first match of the season. A clean sheet.

In this game, because of Deco's physical problems, Ancelotti chose Mikel to play as a defensive midfielder in the midfield, and Ballack played as a right midfielder. Facts have proved that in Fuller With Tom's defense, Chelsea's offensive effect is pretty good, but it will take time to test whether they can cope with the tough battles with the giants in the future.

At least the two goals in this game have nothing to do with the new tactics.

In the corner kick tactics at the end of the first half, Yang Feng successfully fought for the football at the front point, and passed the header relay to the back point. Didier Drogba squeezed out of the position and scored successfully, opening the scoring for Chelsea.

Anelka's goal in the second half was an indirect assist from Yang Feng. In a Fulham side attack, Yang Feng relied on his excellent prediction to successfully intercept the opponent's side player and break through Ivanovic's successful inverted triangle pass. Afterwards, Yang Feng passed the ball to Lampard who was nearby, and Lampard completed the last pass, assisting Anelka to counterattack successfully...

Chelsea, which has won three consecutive victories, has performed well at the beginning of the season when the other three giants have overturned in the first three rounds. Tottenham, which also won three consecutive victories, has 9 points. Because of the goal difference, it ranks Second place in the Premier League.

However, in the fourth round of the Premier League game, Chelsea is destined to miss one round first, and will find time for a make-up match.

After the match against Fulham, the whole Chelsea team boarded a passenger plane and flew to France across the sea from England. After they disembarked in Paris, they drove to the Principality of Monaco to compete for the UEFA Super Cup...
