Football’s First Defender

At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan organized a large-scale attack for the first time and directly scored a goal.

The first effort of this ball must be Motta, who sent a precise direct pass near the center circle. He passed through the half court and sent the ball directly to Eto'o's feet.

And the rest of the offensive trio also relied on their excellent performance without loopholes to complete the follow-up offensive moves.

Eto'o's good basic skills stopped the ball directly at his feet, and he could complete the adjustment in the first time, choosing to use the outside of the instep to dial in for Sneijder.

And Sneijder's running position, forward from left to right. Cooperate with the backcourt pass from teammates on the right side before, but now moves forward from right to left in a wide range of Milito.

The two ran in a wide range, and at the same time they converged in Chelsea's penalty area.

As a result, Yang Feng could only choose the route of blocking Sneijder and continuing to advance, and handed Milito who came behind him to Terry nearby to defend.

At that time, Sneijder was in a better position to go forward obliquely, with a wider angle of attack and a more threatening opportunity. However, Eto'o's kick of the ball also made Sneijder lead the ball in only one direction. In a short time and under the limitation of a very small space, Yang Feng could firmly get stuck in Sneijder's way forward. It can not only fight for steals, but also help Cech block a certain amount of space for Sneijder to hit the goal.

It's just that Sneijder chose to give full play to his passing ability when he was in the penalty area. He also knocked the ball lightly and passed it to Milito. .

Sneijder's light pass from the outside ensures that the ball will definitely be controlled by Milito.

Afterwards, Milito's fake action of sinking shoulders and hitting the goal along the direction of Sneijder's pass is completely the basic skill of a shooter in the penalty area shaking the defensive player.

Sinking shoulders, pulling the ball, a small feint with the right foot pause, and then a volley to select the range of the goal post at the near corner, all movements are smooth and smooth, helping Inter Milan get a fantastic start.

The broadcast camera immediately turned to the coaching bench on the sidelines. Mourinho's madman character was fully displayed. The opening blitz goal did not make Mourinho have too obvious celebrations. Regardless of the people around him getting up to celebrate, Mourinho Ao Yiran sat alone on the bench, with a confident and slightly sarcastic look on his face, as if to prove that it was absolutely expected to score the first goal at home.

On the other side, Ancelotti, after conceding the ball, was obviously a little frustrated.

It is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea to fall behind in the away game at the beginning of the game.

Regarding Chelsea's current staffing, Ancelotti gave instructions in time. The team directly changed to three forwards and changed to a 433 formation. Drogba is at the forefront of the center, while Anelka is still in his most familiar position on the right winger.

Through a series of changes, Chelsea intends to launch a counterattack immediately, instead of letting Inter Milan organize the defense and then carry out a more difficult storm.

Although the orthodox left-back Ashley Cole has been lost, the left-wing combination of Kalu and Malouda on the left is still the direction with the strongest breakthrough ability on the Chelsea field.

From the kick-off, Chelsea consciously attacked from the left.

However, Malouda gave the ball to Kalou, and Kalou passed the ball to Lampard in the middle after receiving it. He turned around and inserted himself into the space behind Inter Milan's defense.

It's just that, although Lampard's pick pass passed to the back of Inter Milan's side defense, but in terms of angle, under Cambiasso's interference, Lampard still had some control.

The ball landed and popped out of the boundary before Kalou ran to the landing point. Chelsea's wing attack did not achieve results.

Instead, Maicon quickly served the boundary ball, and Motta, who returned to the center, directly sent a long pass to the front of Milito, who was at the forefront.

As a high point, Milito's task at the forefront is to grab the first spot and serve the ball to Eto'o or Sneijder who came in.

It's just that Motta's pass found Milito, but Terry and Yang Feng's defensive judgments were also extremely accurate.

Terry was responsible for resisting Milito and physically confronting him, while Yang Feng was responsible for pushing out Mota's pass by relying on accurate judgment of the landing point!

Yang Feng made no mistakes, and pushed the ball out of the boundary directly and accurately...

After Inter took the lead, although taking advantage of the home court, they did not directly switch to a defensive state, but the entire defense line stayed in their own half tacitly and did not have the idea of ​​​​stepping forward to participate in the attack.

The Brazilian right-back Maicon, who has always been the booster of Inter Milan's right-sided attack, did not cross the threshold after the team took the lead. It is the primary responsibility to limit Chelsea's left-sided attack!

Inter Milan's current threat on the offensive end depends on the organization of the midfielders, the forwards of the forwards, and relying on small-scale cooperation to create certain opportunities!

Sneijder took the ball in the middle and pushed forward, making small steps under his feet. When the other Inter Milan offensive players spread out and advanced, Sneijder, who had not yet entered the dangerous area, was marked by Lampard alone.

Inter Milan's offensive players did not press directly into the penalty area like the Premier League teams, but all of them followed the tactics, running without the ball, receiving the ball, and supporting the work outside the penalty area.

Yang Feng dragged at the end of Chelsea's defense, while Terry went to mark Milito. Now, Yang Feng himself, as Chelsea's de facto backcourt core, will make corresponding leak work according to the momentary situation on the court.

Sneijder was alone near the middle circle, and without too much defensive pressure, he accurately handed the ball to Maicon on the right.

Maicon, who was looking for stability, did not show his willingness to attack from the side and break through. He directly passed a straight pass from the right to Milito, who retreated to the right to receive the ball. After Milito came out, Terry Still guarding his own defensive area, and Ballack is responsible for marking.

Taking advantage of his height and weight, Milito carried Ballack, completed a kick, and passed the ball to Stankovic who instantly inserted into Chelsea's penalty area.

Stankovic made a pile, leaning against Terry, and after receiving the ball, without too much hesitation, he kicked the ball directly and returned the ball to the direction where Milito was going!

After passing the ball by himself, Milito also went straight to Chelsea's big penalty area. After receiving a pass from Stankovic, he directly led with his left foot, and adjusted his right foot to complete the goal. up!

Although Ballack did not lose his position, Ballack, who was blocked behind the side, had no way to complete the interception when Milito had already started to speed up and relied on his body to suppress.

At the critical moment, we still have to rely on Yang Feng!

At the moment when Stankovic passed the ball, Yang Feng, who saw through this small-scale cooperation, stepped forward directly to intercept.

Although Milito does have the ability to shoot the ball, but when there is no point in front of the ball, unless he chooses to force a pass back, Milito must have the only choice to take the ball with the trend and then make moves.

And this kick led the ball, in the case of Ballack following the defense, no matter how good the technique of Milito's feet is, he can only maintain the inertia of the body and lead the ball along the side of the pass. Yang Feng's attack , without any risk.

When Milito was leading the ball, out of the corner of his eye he spotted Yang Feng who was defending, but he was too late to make any moves at this time!

Yang Feng made a precise kick, and directly pulled Milito's dribbling ball from the original trajectory, avoiding the body of Milito's collision due to inertia. Yang Feng was in good shape, and sent a long pass directly to Inter Milan's right side line.

This time Inter Milan's offense was not only on the defensive end, Yang Feng showed his excellent personal defensive ability. In the instant transition between offense and defense, Yang Feng worked hard for several months to practice the long pass, and finally he was able to play a proper role.

Yang Feng's pass spun out an arc, directly finding the space behind Maicon, and it was closer to the outside, which was good for Kalu on the outside to catch the ball!

In the 1v1 speed competition between Kalou and Maicon, Maicon may still have the advantage now, but because the ball is still closer to the outside at the end, Maicon, who needs to hold the defensive position, has no way to go forward too much. , resulting in the landing point being controlled by Kalu.

After Kalou received the ball, he didn't get too entangled with Maicon. This was a rare opportunity to counterattack. Kalou chose to pass the ball directly and passed the ball to the central area.

Drogba, who followed up, received the pass, and Lucio was the only defender in front of him.

Drogba wants to use a change of direction to gain space for a forward breakthrough, but Lucio, who was rested in the Serie A last round, is indeed in a good state of play in this game.

At the moment Drogba made a move, Lucio had already completed his judgment, and went straight to the ground to shovel, completely blocking Drogba's dribbling route after changing direction, and the ball was directly shoveled by Lucio. Immediately got up, took control of the ball, and directly dribbled the ball and pushed back.

In Lucio's career, he has had many wonderful performances with the ball and counterattack. This time, after taking a few strides and meeting Chelsea's defenders, Lucio remembered Mourinho's instructions, and just to be on the safe side, he passed the ball safely to Stankovic on the right.

Stankovic, who was on the right line, made sufficient preparations to pass the ball before the Chelsea defenders came up. He directly moved the ball in a wide range, aimed the ball deep to the left, and made a long pass directly. past.

Eto'o on the wing, even if he is no longer in his golden age, no matter how old the "cheetah" is, he is still a "cheetah". Eto'o, like black lightning, goes forward quickly!

Ivanovic, who was in charge of defending on the right, suffered a great loss in terms of speed. Eto'o directly crossed from the outside, and did not give Ivan a chance to fight physically!

However, in order to pursue a precise landing, Stankovic's pass was not too fast, which gave Yang Feng enough time to react.

Eto'o's speed is indeed very fast, but Yang Feng's height advantage is even more obvious.

Yang Feng, who had enough time to traverse, rushed over to help Ivanovic complete the defense this time. Even because of Eto'o's figure, Yang Feng had enough confidence to directly pass the ball to Ivan who was back from the defense with a safe header.

Ivan took the ball, and it was another opportunity for Chelsea to counterattack. Although the two sides had sufficient defensive personnel left behind, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams was extremely fast, without any delay. Using the personal abilities of the offensive players, they directly hit the opponent's defense line during the counterattack the depths of...

Intense competition and fast-paced offense and defense naturally lead to players' movements becoming louder and louder amidst the high-decibel shouts of the fans on the scene.

As the lagging side, Chelsea, although they will not be able to overwhelm Inter Milan in the away game, but in terms of the number of offensive rounds, they must still have a certain advantage.

He has always acted as a substitute, and today he finally started Kalou in such an important Champions League knockout match. After the change, he was extremely active in the position of the left winger!

The combination of Kalou and Malouda on the left has indeed attracted the defensive attention of many Inter Milan players. When both Kalou and Malouda are involved in the offense, Inter Milan's defense is obviously leaning on its right side.

Regarding the retraction of Inter Milan's right-sided defense, Kalou did not choose to be reckless, but handed the ball back to Lampard, who was supporting the midfielder. Lampard kicked the ball and transferred the ball directly to the right. .

Ivanovic on the right stepped in to catch the ball, and there was a huge space on the right. In front of Ivan, there was only Inter Milan "teenager" Zanetti.

However, when Zanetti obviously stood still and defended against Ivan's breakthrough, Ivan did not directly engage in a 1v1 fight with Zanetti, but used the space. Zanetti had no intention of interfering at all. Go down, directly on the right, and pass the ball from 45 degrees into the penalty area.

Inside the penalty area, Chelsea have Drogba and Anelka to compete for two points.

But for Inter Milan, the defensive players in the penalty area are more dense.

When Maicon moved the ball to the right side of Chelsea, it was also recovered into the penalty area, making Inter Milan have a full four players and Chelsea's two strikers.

With Lucio and Samuel fighting with their bodies and resisting Drogba and Anelka, Ivan's pass was finally run to Stankovic, who was on the spot. Before Luoba took off to compete for the point, he headed the ball out.

However, the second landing point on the periphery was still at the feet of Lampard. Facing the high-altitude ball, Lampard directly padded the ball to Kalou who was in the corner of the left penalty area.

After Kalu received the ball, he accelerated directly, and oncoming was Maicon who saved from the penalty area.

Kalou made an action of stepping on a bicycle, and suddenly chose to go left. After shaking his body, he shot with his left foot and hit the goal!

A volley, the strength is also considered to be full, but the angle is still a little bit worse, the ball hit the side net, Inter Milan's goal kick!

Cesar's goal kick went directly to Maicon on the right. Inter Milan completely took this goal kick as an opportunity to counterattack and moved forward directly and quickly.

Maicon, who was blocked by Malouda in front, took into account his defensive position behind him, so he chose to pass the ball safely to midfielder Stankovic.

Relying on his obvious advantage in physical confrontation, Lampard could not easily steal the ball. Stankovic made a small change of direction, preparing to rely on his physical advantage to forcibly pass Lampard.

And Lampard was also anxious that the team fell behind at the start, and his mentality was a little impatient. When he couldn't complete the 1-on-1 defense, he directly put down and tackled Stankovic directly on the grass.

The referee Gonzalez immediately stopped the game, walked up to Lampard, looked at Stankovic who had been rolling on the ground, and directly took out a yellow card to Lampard as a warning.

In the 12th minute of the opening, Chelsea's midfielder, Lampard, was the first to be dyed yellow, which seemed to prove that this knockout match was destined to be extremely fierce...
