Football’s First Defender

The game has progressed to the current situation, and Inter Milan has to start putting more power into the offense. This is a matter of strategic principles. Guoji Milan is at home. If the game ends in a draw, then it is definitely a game. Lost .

As for Chelsea, although due to the inertia of previous tactics, they have been investing a considerable amount of troops on the offensive end and attacking aggressively, but now, Chelsea absolutely has the capital to play defensive counterattacks with peace of mind, compressing Inter Milan's offensive space, and Occupy the advantage of fighting against counterattacks.

However, Ancelotti on the sidelines did not directly make tactical adjustments. Inter Milan managed to attack, and there was enough space in the backcourt, which created a good opportunity for Chelsea to attack.

Instead of defending and counterattacking, withdrawing your own personnel, and only a few people can seize the opportunity to attack during the counterattack, then why not take advantage of the situation that the momentum of the equalizer is still there, and Chelsea also has a considerable advantage in the counterattack Next, attack directly to the end at this time.

In such a confrontation, Ancelotti also believes that his players can also defend well and use stronger offensive power to help the team.

If the score can be overtaken and the team can return to Stamford Bridge with a victory, then the second round of the game may be directly equivalent to losing suspense.

Inter Milan's offense, although a lot of people have invested, but the real threatening point of the ball is actually Sneijder alone.

Although the passing of Motta and Stankovic is also an effective part of Inter Milan's offense, the regular passing of the ball, while ensuring stability, actually lacks suddenness and surprise.

For Chelsea, who have rich game experience and are definitely in front of Europe's top defense lines, some ordinary passes do not pose much threat.

Only Sneijder's inadvertent pass can pose enough threat to Chelsea.

In the case of strict defense against Sneijder in the midfield, even though Inter Milan has already started to attack, the last kick to send the ball to Milito and Eto'o at the end always lacks enough threat.

Even if Milito and Eto'o can receive the ball at the end, it also gave the Chelsea defenders enough reaction time and room for further defensive actions.

Inter Milan's offense has always been unable to truly translate into threatening shooting opportunities.

On the contrary, on Chelsea's side, because they left enough personnel in the midfield, they did not choose to retreat defensively tactically. Therefore, after completing the offensive and defensive transition, Chelsea's counterattack can always guarantee enough offensive players. Straight into the hinterland of Inter Milan.

Chelsea's counterattack directly played a full-scale offensive posture, which caused extremely huge defensive pressure on Inter Milan's defense line left behind.

On the offensive end, although Sneijder can play the ball in the backcourt, the long-distance pass is destined to give Chelsea players enough defensive reaction time. Therefore, in order to strengthen the offensive threat of Inter Milan, although Sneijder In the midfield, due to Chelsea's high-intensity defensive pressure, there is no guarantee that every ball can be passed, but when you want to score goals, you naturally need more threatening opportunities.

Sneijder still returned to the front position, instead of retreating to the back, coming to the midfield position as before, using scheduling to transfer the ball, and passing the ball through to ensure a high success rate of the pass. The offensive player who catches the ball goes free to play.

Sneijder advanced into Chelsea's dangerous area, and Motta was in charge of dispatching behind. Motta is in the midfield position, and dispatching the ball without too much defensive interference is also good, but only athletic ability Motta, who is not so good, is not so good when encountering opponents who counterattack with speed when defending.

Motta's balls are basically given to the two wingers, allowing the two wingers to push the ball near Chelsea's dangerous area. Before they find a way to pass the ball to Sneijder and let Sneijder play himself The role of field commander.

Or directly launch a strong attack from the side, directly make a breakthrough from the side, and pass from the bottom to create opportunities for Milito in the penalty area to grab points, and also allow Eto'o to have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

But this time, seeing Sneijder retreating suddenly, he gestured for a pass with both hands.

Motta made a long-distance through pass directly to Sneijder's feet.

And Sneijder, this time taking advantage of Mikel being distracted by Eto'o's running route, retreated and received a pass from Mota, and finally successfully passed the ball without a defender. Under the fierce confrontation, he got the ball this time.

Although Mikel's speed of attacking again was very fast, for Sneijder, there was enough space for Sneijder to get rid of the next move and operation after losing the direct physical confrontation at the beginning.

Sneijder turned around and got rid of Mikel's attack. Although Mikel still used his body to hang on to Sneijder, but driven by the kinetic energy of Sneijder's turn, Mikel's resistance was overwhelmed by Sneijder. Germany unloaded a lot, and did not cause substantial damage to Sneijder's body balance. Sneijder still had enough body control ability, accelerated laterally, and got rid of Mikel's defense.

However, although Mikel was thrown away by a position, this is after all in Chelsea's dangerous area, so the speed of other Chelsea players' defenses is still extremely fast, and the first ones nearby to defend are not far away. Barack.

In fact, as an extremely experienced midfielder, Ballack's tactical rigor allows Ballack to take care of his own defensive area while also having sufficient grasp of the overall situation.

When Mikel released Sneijder to catch the ball, Ballack had already made plans to help Mikel defend in his own area.

It's really Sneijder. After leaving Real Madrid, he played an absolute superstar performance in the first year of Inter Milan this season. Ballack never dared to relax in his attention to the opponent's absolute core players. It may be used by the opponent's personal ability to open up the team's defensive system.

Ballack's defense was indeed very quick, and it was impossible for Sneijder to get into Chelsea's penalty area under the double attack of Ballack and Mikel at the rear.

However, Sneijder didn't plan at the beginning, and would directly complete this attack by himself.

For Sneijder himself, after turning around and throwing off Mikel's defense for the first time, all he had to do was to use the short time with enough space to find the point of exit and disrupt the situation when he dribbled the ball. At the same time as Chelsea's defense, a deadly pass was sent.

When Ballack's defense was not fully in place, Sneijder had already passed the ball to the left side of Chelsea's penalty area.

This precise pass was found to be the "Cheetah" Eto'o on the Inter Milan striker.

Eto'o had just switched positions with Milito, which also created a certain gap for Chelsea's defense, and then he went straight forward and got Sneijder's kick.

When Eto'o and Milito had a cross in the penalty area, seeing Sneijder outside the penalty area, receiving the ball and turning around, Yang Feng had a premonition that Sneijder might pass a very threatening pass this time.

As for Inter Milan's two major threats in the penalty area, in Sneijder's position, the threat ball that can pass the ball in the middle must be more likely to be a through ball on the ground, and Eto'o's speed is not enough. Flexibility is the best passing option for Sneijder.

Therefore, in the transfer of players' defense, Yang Feng had no tactics to directly chase Milito, but he took a step ahead of Terry and chased Eto'o, and "forced" Terry to give up his defender to help Yang Feng. Defense Milito.

Facts have proved that Yang Feng's decision is correct. Yang Feng, who has a more defensive position than Terry, can use a shorter distance to catch up with Eto'o.

Although Eto'o unexpectedly completed this diagonal forward thrust and also received a wonderful through ball coached by Sneijder, he did not follow the path of Sneijder's through ball forcibly in the first place. After finishing hitting the goal, but choosing to stop the ball to adjust, then Eto'o gave Yang Feng time to step forward.

If you hit the goal at the first time, although it is more difficult to hit the goal directly because the trajectory of the ball is biased to the left, and the angle is not too large, there is absolutely no defensive player that can interfere. It is the test of Eto'o's shooting skills.

Eto'o, on the other hand, chose to stop the ball in an instant, and then prepared to use his personal ability to quickly complete the adjustment. Before the arrival of other Chelsea defenders in the penalty area, he defeated the defender behind him so that he could directly complete the goal.

It's just that the Terry in Eto'o's imagination didn't come, and the man defending him turned out to be Yang Feng, the most stable player in Chelsea's formation.

Although Yang Feng is young, he has experienced two Premier League seasons and several consecutive seasons of outstanding performances in the European arena, which can be regarded as establishing his reputation in European football.

Especially in defense, Yang Feng's calm state in any situation is definitely the most difficult opponent for every offensive player.

Facing Yang Feng, without a physical advantage, every offensive player who tried to single-handedly play against Yang Feng, in fact, could not take much advantage in the end.

It is true that in this 1v1 penalty area defense, it is impossible for Yang Feng to completely restrict the offensive player from completing the goal, but the kick completed by the opposing player must be the worst among all the options. As for forming an excellent opportunity and turning it into a threat, it is extremely difficult.

Yang Feng is like a precise computer. According to the changes of every offensive movement of the offensive players, he can fine-tune his position and defensive methods at any time to ensure that the opponent will not have the opportunity to easily hit the goal.

This time, although Eto'o intends to use his flexibility to shake Yang Feng's center of gravity and get a good angle to hit the goal.

But Yang Feng didn't react too much to Eto'o's fake move with the ball, he just stood in the defensive position by himself, with his body tilted, so that when Eto'o's fake play was really done, he could also rely on the second reaction Forward, but at this moment, it still does not give Eto'o a wide angle to shoot.

But time was limited, although Yang Feng was not completely shaken away, but Eto'o had no time or space to waste.

Before the rest of the Chelsea players returned to the defense, Eto'o forced a kick to complete the goal.

Using a rubbing shot, he tried to widen the angle and threatened Chelsea's goal while avoiding Yang Feng's defensive line.

However, Cech is very confident that Yang Feng can help him complete the task of blocking the goal when Yang Feng blocks the near corner and the middle of the goal. Standing a little behind the middle, it is just right to face Eto'o. He rubbed his feet and shot, without moving too much, he directly grabbed the ball with both hands and completed the save.

And Cech, very experienced, directly threw the ball to find Malouda on the left. Malouda directly started from the backcourt, dribbled forward with the ball, and directly chased Inter Milan to fight the opponent's defensive counterattack.

Since Cech had accumulated enough time in the first part of the counterattack, Malouda also made a direct pass to find Lampard in the middle after advancing a certain distance.

Therefore, when Chelsea's offense has been fully advanced, Inter Milan's return defense is still in a state of chaos, and there is no way to step forward immediately and launch an effective defense.

Lampard's transfer of the ball was also extremely fast. He directly found a half-high ball to the right. Ivanovic also stepped forward with all his strength. Ivan's stop was very skillful. Go straight ahead without slowing down.

With Anelka splitting and taking away Zanetti's defensive attention in front, Ivanovic asked to face Inter Milan's Thiago Motta.

In the face of Motta, who is actually a very good midfielder, Ivan showed his strong psychological quality and offensive ability.

Without too many fancy moves, on the route of quickly dribbling forward, when facing Motta, Ivan chose to lean to the left and wanted to change direction.

And Motta didn't doubt him, and directly blocked the route Ivan wanted to take.

But Ivan showed flexibility that didn't match his tall body. His left-leaning action turned into a fake action. With a spike with his left foot, his body forcibly turned to the right.

In an instant, it turned into a route of breakthrough to the right, allowing Ivanovic to pass Mota in one step, and Ivan's speed still did not weaken much, and he rushed directly into the penalty area of ​​Inter Milan.

Ivan's breakthrough went deep, which directly made Inter Milan's defense line that did not return in place, making it even more chaotic. Zanetti had to rush forward to help defend and prevent Ivan from continuing to advance.

However, Ivan did not choose to directly complete the goal by himself. Instead, when Zanetti stepped forward to defend himself, he directly passed the ball to the front right with a through ball. The defender's right side completes the catch.

After that, he went directly to the bottom quickly, and passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the center of Inter Milan's penalty area.

It was Kalou who followed up to the center. Drogba's strong point was too conspicuous and attracted many defensive eyes, while Kalou sneaked into the penalty area.

With a kick, he hit the lower right corner of the goal. Kalou's shooting skills are nothing to say, but today Cesar was not affected by the car accident at all. , blocked the ball...
