Football’s First Defender

Chapter 293 Confrontation

Chelsea equalized the score. Although there was a little bit of luck, a goal is a goal, and luck is also a manifestation of the team's strength. Ancelotti succeeded with Kalu's kick and celebrated on the sidelines, while Mourinho, whose team was equalized, frowned.

Kalu's goal this time, in terms of defensive positions, although Inter Milan's players are not so stable in their positions due to Chelsea's counterattack, but in this specific defensive situation, many of Chelsea's defensive players There was nothing wrong with the choices in the game.

Most of the players are still tight at the back, cutting off Chelsea's pass and cut cooperation, and it intercepts the receiving line of Drogba and Anelka, who are at the top of Chelsea's side, and has a direct impact on other Chelsea's offensive players, including Kalou, Malouda, and Lampard also have dedicated defensive personnel to mark, to ensure that Chelsea's offensive players cannot form opportunities to catch the ball too easily outside the penalty area.

But for Ivanovic, who had been active on the wing before, he would suddenly choose to attack in the middle during the counterattack, which really caught the Inter players' defense by surprise.

Perhaps in the many defensive tactics that Mourinho formulated before the game, Ivan, a full-back, was really not considered. Not only did he always play the role of a full-back on the offensive end during the game, but this time he even played directly in the middle. Played the role of midfielder breakthrough.

Although Ivan's breakthrough in the middle was a bit stumbling this time, Ivan was indeed unable to show the dribbling ability of an offensive player in the face of Inter Milan's temporarily organized defense, but in the last forced pass, Ivan was indeed impulsive. Beautifully done.

And this time in Chelsea's attack, the biggest surprise also occurred when Ivan passed the ball. When Ivan was dribbling the ball laterally, the ball was already out of Ivan's control range under the interception of the Inter Milan defender. , Sneijder, who was originally in charge of marking Kalu, naturally chose to control the ball first when he was in a position closer to the ball.

But Ivan suddenly chose to drop the ball to the ground, changing the route of the ball, making Sneijder, who was about to catch the ball, wait for nothing, and Kalou had a chance to hit the goal directly under the unmarked guard.

Kalu's rubbing shot played his true qualities as a shooter and did not waste this opportunity.

A number of unexpected factors intertwined, resulting in Chelsea's goal this time, and Chelsea, which evened the score to 1 to 1, is now regarded as an away game at the Meazza Stadium, occupying a general lead.

After being equalized, Inter Milan encountered a difficult situation. After losing a large lead, Chelsea now has an away goal, which means that Inter Milan also has to attack.

After the score was equalized, Mourinho had to give it a go at home. After all, if he could not win the game at home and establish a large score advantage, then Inter Milan's away game in England would be doomed.

While the Chelsea players were still celebrating their goals, Mourinho hurriedly called back midfielders like Sneijder and Cambiasso, explained to them the next tactical choice, and let them tell the other players Repost your latest offensive tactics.

At this time, Inter Milan must unify their thinking at the first time, and there must be no problem of inconsistency in overall planning.

After Chelsea's side celebrated the goal, Inter Milan kicked off and directly attacked Chelsea.

When Sneijder kicked off, he stood in the midfield position, passed a precise through pass, and handed the ball to Zanetti, who was on the left side of the attack.

When the team has no score advantage, when the team needs to attack players, the "little player" Zanetti, regardless of his physical strength, directly participates in the offense to a large extent.

After receiving a through ball from Sneijder in the midfield, Zanetti launched a strong attack directly from the wing.

Taking advantage of his physical confrontation, Zanetti directly supported Ivan and moved forward on the wing.

For Ivanovic, it is much better to defend against a tall full-back like Zanetti than to deal with those small and flexible wide players.

Regarding the defense on the side, when Ivan faced Zanetti, he didn't have to worry that Zanetti would rely on his speed to force him. To make a cross from the wing, in fact, it was still restricted by Ivanovic in the end.

In fact, Zanetti intended to find an opportunity to cross from the wing, but after trying to fake Ivan a few times to no avail, Zanetti found it very aggrieved, relying on his own Ability, there is no way to pose enough threats on the wing.

Under Ivan's defense, Zanetti had no space to play the ball directly. In order not to delay the team's offensive operation, he could only pass the ball to Motta who inserted from behind.

Motta received a return pass from Zanetti, and changed his previous role as a pass point to organize the offense. Instead, he unexpectedly chose to dribble forward diagonally with the ball and played a breakthrough.

Lampard followed closely, but in the face of Motta's breakthrough combined with a change of direction and a feint on the wing, Lampard could not complete the defense directly by himself, but could only use one foul, giving Inter Milan a Chance of a free kick in the frontcourt.

Although this is a free kick on the left, although there is a direct angle to hit the goal, it is definitely not too big. However, if you pass the ball from this left position, you can definitely pass through a very threatening cross. .

Sneijder stood alone in front of the penalty spot and did not choose to hit the goal directly. Sneijder still chose to pass the ball that could cause a greater offensive threat. With an excellent arc, he went directly to Lucio in the penalty area.

Lucio used his body to occupy a favorable position for receiving the ball, but under Drogba's top defense, Lucio couldn't take off completely after confronting Drogba's body.

So although Lucio beat Drogba a little at the end of this ball and completed the header with the header, but due to the lack of take-off height, Lucio's header was not in the right position, and the ball was directly headed by Lucio Yes, it flew directly out of the bottom line.

For Chelsea's goal kick, Cech originally planned to pass it to the Chelsea players outside the penalty area, so that he could attack in an organized manner from back to front.

However, due to Inter Milan's sudden frontcourt defense, Cech couldn't find the ball for a while, so he could only go straight to the frontcourt with a big foot. On the right, Drogba retreated to the center In the whole area, he used his strong body to complete the bullying, and directly headed the ball to Anelka on the right.

In the connection between the two strikers, after Anelka unloaded Drogba's header, he still had to face the defense of Zanetti and Motta on the right.

Inter Milan's frontcourt press relies more on Milito, Sneijder, and Eto'o, while the other central and backcourt players are directly replayed, and they still choose to hold the space at the first time and limit Chelsea. offensive advancement.

When Anelka had enough defensive strength from Inter Milan in front, he did not rashly choose to break through the wing by himself, but chose to wait patiently for a few seconds with the ball, waiting for Ivanovic. Completed the advance in time and came over to cooperate with Anelka.

Ivanovic ran past Anelka without slowing down, but Chen Gong blocked Zanetti's defense for Anelka.

With only Motta defending, Anelka did not choose to go straight forward, and Ivanovic, who had already started, did not do it alone, but took advantage of Drogba's sudden retreat to move to the vicinity , Returning the ball directly to Drogba.

Drogba received the pass and turned one and a half directly, crushing Cambiasso, who was defending by Chelsea in the middle.

Later, when he dribbled the ball diagonally and was about to hit the goal, he encountered Chelsea's defense.

Samuel's attack was very timely. Before Drogba got up to full speed and couldn't take advantage of the situation, he directly stepped forward to make up for it, blocking Drogba's only way.

Although Drogba completed the action before Samuel and successfully hit a long shot, Samuel's kick was not slow either. Drogba's shot had just been kicked, and Samuel's foot also arrived. position, directly hit Drogba's shot and blocked the bottom line.

It's Chelsea's corner.

On Chelsea's side, several people who are good at heading the ball all entered the Inter Milan penalty area.

Especially the "reversing trio" on the back line, Yang Feng, Terry, and Ivan are all good headers. Although the average height of Inter Milan is not far behind Chelsea, there are also Samuel, Lucio , a defensive fighter like Zanetti, but he is still a hundred careful about Chelsea's set-pieces.

Chelsea's players chose to form a long snake formation this time. All the players did not have too much positional bias. They just took advantage of this uncertainty. Chelsea expected to play a different offensive effect.

Lampard's corner kick was sent directly to a high arc and passed to the vicinity of Inter Milan's small penalty area.

With Lampard's corner kick run-up, Chelsea's players immediately disassembled their one-word Shenzhen, scattered directly, and ran to different positions, preparing to respond to Lampard's possible pass.

And in the middle position, it is Chelsea's most offensive threat in the positional battle, Drogba.

Drogba has been fighting against Lucio. Facing Lampard's corner kick towards the dangerous area of ​​​​the penalty area, after resisting Lucio slightly, Drogba chose to take a step back and use a back Take off, head directly to the goal.

It's just a pity that Lucio's defense was very tight. Although Drogba resisted and opened the space first, Lucio caught up with him very quickly and didn't give Drogba much space. Jumping on his back, the requirements for himself are too high.

Under the interference of many factors, Drogba headed the ball, but the angle and strength of the header were still not adjusted to the best.

This header was confiscated by Cesar directly on the goal line. Both sides were trying to attack and wanted to make persistent efforts to score the third goal.

Inter Milan, on the offensive end, has obviously become more active than Chelsea.

Lucio, who got the permission of Mourinho's attack, started to take the ball forward directly in the central defender position.

After holding back for most of the game, Lucio was finally able to unblock his offensive ability and use his own follow-up to advance the offense to disrupt Chelsea's defense and consume Chelsea's defensive strength.

Lucio's sudden advance made Chelsea have to allocate more Lyon to contain Lucio when defending in the middle.

And when Lampard stepped forward to defend, Lucio didn't care too much. It's good to participate in the offense with limited participation, but it's not good to play with fire in front of the opponent's defensive players.

Although Lucio participated in the attack, as Inter Milan's central defender, he still had to be careful of Chelsea's sudden defensive counterattack.

Before Lampard stepped forward to complete the defense, Lucio directly diverted the ball and handed the ball back to Motta on the left.

Motta passed the ball back to the center when there was no chance to break through from the wing, and the ball returned to Inter Milan's offensive commander, Sneijder.

Inter Milan is now on the offensive end, and the most threatening frontcourt pass is Sneijder.

As for Sneijder's position on the court, in order to be able to send the pass better, he did not continue to stay in the front, but chose a more rearward position, which can have more space and a better vision to send out. More threatening passes.

Sneijder, who received a pass from his teammate, made a direct pass before the defending Chelsea players stepped forward and passed the ball to Chelsea's big penalty area.

This ground pass accurately passed through the defensive area of ​​several Chelsea players, but due to the speed of the ball, none of the Chelsea players touched it.

Milito retreated to the front of the penalty area, leaned against Yang Feng, blocked Yang Feng behind him, and prevented Yang Feng from stepping forward to defend, so that he could firmly stop the ball at his feet.

Milito completed possession of the ball, but the next offensive move was difficult to make.

Yang Feng's physical confrontation has been greatly improved in the past two years of training in the Premier League. Now when facing Milito, Yang Feng is not at a big disadvantage.

Yang Feng pressed his back against Milito, making it difficult for Milito to turn around and hit the goal. The moment Milito received the ball, he actually made a fake shoulder movement, hoping to shake off Yang Feng's certain center of gravity. , so that I have enough strength advantage to complete the turn to the other side.

However, although Yang Feng is young, he has a lot of experience in competitions. Milito's fake moves did not deceive Yang Feng. Yang Feng has always paid attention to the real movements of Milito's feet.

With Yang Feng firmly occupying the position, Milito did not have a special space to complete the goal.

In the end, Milito could only choose to pass the ball diagonally to complete the ball for the player who inserted from behind.

Cambiasso, who plugged in behind, followed up with a long-distance kick, which was powerful and heavy.

However, with enough vision, Cech's long shot from Cambiasso was indeed of high quality, but it did not pose too much threat to Cech.

Cech judged accurately and completed the saving action, controlling the ball with both hands.

The two teams are in a confrontational posture...

After drinking, it's a bit late, the typo has not been corrected, forgive me...it will explode tomorrow!
