Football’s First Defender

Although Chelsea has strengthened the long-range shot in the middle, Mourinho is very satisfied with Inter Milan's current defensive tactics. As for the long-range shot that is still a threat, it depends on Cesar's performance. , Choose to believe in Cesar's goal line technology, and let the team continue to adhere to the current defensive tactics, we must completely strangle Chelsea's pass and cut cooperation.

After being under the siege of Chelsea for nearly half an hour in the first half, Mourinho overturned his pre-match offensive tactics.

Guaranteeing the lead at this stage first and weakening Chelsea's offensive momentum is definitely much better than letting Chelsea open up the offense.

Moreover, there is still half-time and the last 10 minutes or so. Mourinho chose to hold the advantage first, and then make tactical adjustments according to the situation at half-time.

Chelsea have been in a state of fierce attack since they were scored in the opening game. The players are not iron men. In the case of multi-line combat, certainly not everyone can insist on running for 45 minutes in the first half. In the final stage, the Chelsea players had some physical problems first. They needed to rest and reduce the amount of exercise to ensure that they could recover quickly for the second half of the game.

It can be said that Inter Milan's shrinking defensive strategy implemented around 30 minutes into the game interrupted Chelsea's offensive momentum, and the Chelsea players who did not go crazy on the offensive end returned to reality. The first thing they felt was continuous The fatigue that comes with attacking.

The lack of momentum, coupled with the noise made by Inter Milan fans all over the field, when the offense was at a standstill, the Chelsea players felt powerless, and many people were panting.

And taking advantage of the decline in the running ability of the Chelsea players, the Inter Milan players on the field felt their offense and began to feel more relaxed!

Cesar's big foot pass directly to the Inter Milan player in the midfield.

Stankovic completed the top challenge near the middle circle and headed the ball directly to the boundary position on the left.

Milito used his strong body, leaned on Ivanovic, completed the header, and then turned around directly, expecting to catch the ball!

The ball was pushed gently by Milito, but when Milito turned around to chase the ball, he was firmly stuck by Ivan!

However, Ivan's position at the beginning was not good, and Milito's physical confrontation was not weak. Ivan's position was a bit difficult, and his hand blocking movement was a bit big, and the referee directly whistled for a blocking foul. It gave Inter Milan a decent free kick on the left.

This is the first time in 20 or 30 minutes that Inter Milan has obtained a free kick that can threaten the penalty area in Chelsea's half. It can be seen how well Chelsea's offensive suppression has done before!

Sneijder was unquestionably responsible for taking the free kick, and including the two central defenders, the four Inter Milan players who were fighting for the high point pressed forward into Chelsea's penalty area, while outside the penalty area , Cambiasso and Motta are also on standby, ready to respond to the second point of the ball at any time.

Sneijder kicked a high arc and passed the ball directly to the center of the penalty area, in front of the small penalty area.

Without hesitation, Cech abandoned the goal and hit the ball directly out of the penalty area with a single punch, destroying the pass this time.

It's just that Cech's single boxing ball was outside the penalty area, and Stankovic directly faced the landing point, and pushed it hard to the deep area on the left.

After serving the free kick, Sneijder saw the opportunity and went straight forward to meet the landing point of the ball. Anelka, who had acted as a one-man wall before, directly returned to the defense with all his strength, but Sneijder unloaded the ball first. And when the situation is under control, it is obviously unrealistic for Anelka, the striker, to defend Inter Milan's offensive core Sneijder.

Sneijder took advantage of the speed at his feet, a false pass from the bottom, combined with a reverse spike, and changed direction quickly, directly throwing off Anelka's defense.

Before the players in Chelsea's penalty area came back to defend, Sneijder had already kicked the ball directly, a half-high ball, and passed it to the back post of the goal, where Milito was preparing to respond with a header.

But on the flight route of the ball, Yang Feng was the first to directly hit it with a header.

Seeing that the pass this time was extremely threatening, and although Yang Feng himself couldn't completely clear the siege, he didn't care that the contact of the ball might cause an own goal. Yang Feng directly used his head to hit the pass from below, directly hitting the ball even more Gao, interfered with the passing line at the beginning, and after that, Terry, who was nearby, directly competed for the top at the second point, and headed the ball outside the penalty area.

In front of the penalty area, Drogba received Terry's header, turned around and dribbled the ball forward, hoping to take advantage of the situation to complete a counterattack.

It's just that Drogba can use his body to fight against the advantage. He passed the first Inter Milan player Stankovic who blocked him defensively, but he couldn't pass the second one.

Because the ball was too far before passing, Drogba was blocked by Mota before halftime.

After Motta completed the interception, the overall view played a role. A wonderful through pass across Chelsea's defense line passed the ball from the right side of the midfield to Sneijder who was still on the left.

This straight pass was very skillful. The ball stuck to the ground and passed obliquely to the front left. During the period, it passed through the Chelsea four-man defense area, but none of them were touched by Chelsea players. The moment it passed to Sneijder's feet, It is equivalent to directly piercing Chelsea's defense.

The transition between offense and defense occurred between lightning and flint. Most of Chelsea's players still maintained the inertia of forward counterattack, and another dangerous attack from Inter Milan has come.

After stopping the ball on the outside of Sneijder's foot, he went directly into Chelsea's penalty area. Although Ivan was still standing in a defensive position at this time, facing Sneijder's foot skills, Ivan did not dare to stretch his foot rashly. Afraid of being wiped out by Sneijder.

Ivan can only hope that with his tall body, he can block Sneijder's passing line this time.

When Sneijder faced Ivan, as long as Ivan was not given the space to fight physically, then Sneijder could use his skills and flexibility to get whatever he wanted on Ivan's side.

There were two consecutive pauses under his feet, and after a fake move, Sneijder suddenly knocked horizontally and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area!

Milito went forward directly and quickly from the front point, all of them were inserted in front of the goal, and successfully took away Chelsea's defenders in the front point, while Eto'o suddenly retreated from the small penalty area, just in the back point , can receive this kick from Sneijder.

Eto'o swayed his legs on the spot, ready to push and hit the goal from close range, but when Eto'o shot, Yang Feng played his own role.

Since Inter Milan's offensive launch this time was also an accident, Chelsea's defensive explanation was also a bit confusing. In an instant, they could only grab the nearby defenders nearby, and could not complete the previous man-to-man defensive match.

Yang Feng, who was defending Eto'o, realized that he was too late when Eto'o suddenly retreated and Sneijder completed the pass at the same time. At the critical moment, Yang Feng had no way to directly block the ball , can only choose to use the most stupid way to help the goalkeeper for the last leg.

In such a chaotic situation in the penalty area, Eto'o can only guarantee himself that if he completes a push shot at close range and hits the goal within the range of the goal frame, he has a good chance of scoring a goal.

But the initial direction of this kick was indeed okay, but as soon as Eto'o's foot came out, it was blocked.

Yang Feng directly chose to give up his center of gravity, lying on the ground, with his hands tightly attached to his body, to prevent being awarded a penalty kick, he used his body to form a wall, and successfully blocked Eto'o's kick.

Eto'o still wanted to make another shot, but Mikel, who rushed to Eto'o's side, reacted faster, kicked the ball first, and Eto'o kicked Mikel's foot, then Was it directly whistled for a foul, Inter Milan's consecutive offensive opportunities, or did not get a second goal...
