The Ball at Your Feet

Chelsea has always been a very strong team. Although Liverpool's record against Chelsea is superior, Liverpool players have to admit that the victory or defeat of the two sides is often between the same ball. If one is not careful, it may lose.

Before the game, despite the losses in the first half of the season, Liverpool still did not pay too much attention to Chelsea-they were tied in a row, the team's attack was weak, and they couldn't score against the underdogs, not to mention the match. Liverpool, the best defensive player this season.

However, this ball also reminded Liverpool of vigilance. After all, the game is very important, and it should not be careless at all. In this way, this attack is also good. Liverpool’s last bit of contempt will also be put away. The game has just started 20 minutes, and the time is still long.

Moreover, Zhao Yaning himself believes that he has also found a way to deal with Chelsea.

Chelsea's seemingly bronze defense is not flawless.

Zhao Yaning controlled the ball in the middle and ran two steps to the right. Essien still prevented him from breaking through, while Makelele stood well on the line where he passed the ball to Figo. Zhao Yaning knows very well that if he passes the ball, 80% will be intercepted by Makelele. Makelele's role in ground ball defense is extremely terrifying.

However, he didn't even think about giving the ball to Figo. He turned around in one step and passed the ball long to Gerrard on the left.

Gerrard tried to break through Del Horno, but his reaction was slower and unsuccessful. In desperation, he passed the ball to Figo, and Figo again gave the ball to Maicon behind. Maicon did not advance, but instead made a long pass to Zhao Yaning.

But at this time, Terry rushed out and pushed the ball to the foot of Lampard in the frontcourt.

Zhao Yaning smiled, this was exactly the same as he expected.

Zhao Yaning's attack is obviously Chelsea's weakness.

With Makelele and Essien, Chelsea's midfield defense has indeed reached a new level. Some people are mopping up, some people are breaking, and coupled with a super-class defense, Chelsea now has the most sophisticated defensive system. It can be said that their defense is the best in the world.

However, they still have a problem.

The header from the midfield is a great shortcoming for Chelsea. After all, Makelele and Essien are not very tall, their ground interception ability is strong, but fighting for headers in the midfield is not their strong point. In fact, this is also the main reason why people have always suspected that Chelsea want to introduce Ballack: they do have problems in this position.

Against the average team, their weaknesses are not obvious. However, Liverpool’s frontcourt players are not weaker than Essien and Makelele in height and ability to fight, but their header ability is better, although Liverpool can’t. Counting on the midfielder’s header attack, but when Zhao Yaning and Figo started offensively as two attacking lines on the left and right, they could use long passes to tear the opponent’s defense as much as possible, which made Liverpool in this link. , Relying on hitting the air to cooperate, gained a lot of advantages.

In order to make up for this disadvantage, Chelsea must respond-as Zhao Yaning expected, they can only make one response, allowing the defender to play in the midfield.

In this way, their backcourt will naturally have a lot of open space.

Milito's technical characteristics are actually close to Crespo. Of course, his current strength is still a bit worse than Crespo. However, compared with Crespo, he has a big advantage. The teammates behind him are still willing to pass some ground **** with through plugs.

Zhao Yaning spent a long time trying to find a way to open the defense line and create opportunities for him. Now that it is pulled apart, what needs to be done is to find a way to pass the ball to him at the right opportunity.

Shooters are all fed-no matter how good a shooter is, there must be enough opportunities to be able to play better. No one thinks about feeding the ball, they can only sink step by step. Milan used to play long passes for Bierhof, but when it came to Shepchenko, they changed to play in the middle and small range. Van Nistelrooy relied on Beckham's long pass for a long time, which also allowed him to secure his position as the king of the penalty zone. Crespo didn't play well at Chelsea, but after arriving in Milan, he was resurrected by the midfielder. And this is where Milito's current group advantage lies: his teammates are willing to find a way to feed him the ball.

When the ball reached Alonso's feet again, Zhao Yaning ran to the left, ran on the ribs of the penalty area, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Alonso to pass the ball. His approach made Carvalho involuntarily leaned over, but at this time, Alonso kicked the ball to Gerrard in the middle.

Because Carvalho had already gone out, Terry didn't dare to prevent it, and this made it easy for Gerrard to catch the high-altitude ball. But he obviously also knew that when the ball reached his feet, he would obviously be guarded against death by Makelele, so he simply shook his head and pushed the ball into the penalty area.

His ball headed to the left side of the penalty area, and Zhao Yaning also strode over at this time. Carvalho is still following Zhao Yaning, but Zhao Yaning has already squeezed out half of his position with his own explosive power, next to Carvalho, he stretched out his left foot, picked the ball with one foot, and pointed the ball towards him. Midway.

Milito jumped less than six yards in front of the goal. Terry was a step slower than him, but he was in a better position. He almost blocked Milito and jumped up. Terry knew the seriousness of the ball. He stretched his neck hard, blocked Milito behind him, touched the ball before Milito, and blocked the ball out of the crossbar!

"John Terry, he saved Chelsea again!"

However, the two people in the air also collided together, Milito fell backward, and Terry fell forward. In front of him, it happened to be Cech who was trying to save. Terry couldn't avoid him. The two directly collided and rolled into the goal.

At this moment, both Zhao Yaning and Carvalho were stunned: Who is the foul? Is it Terry defensive foul? Or Milito offensive foul? Both of them fell into embarrassment. Whose fault is this?

The referee ran over without calling a foul. But at this time, the few people on the ground are more important.

"I'm fine!" Milito stood up first. Although Terry who jumped up did make small movements, the foul was not obvious, and Milito did not complain. Moreover, he himself is also unclean, otherwise Terry would not fall out. Since this is Stamford Bridge, don't expect the referee to give a penalty for such a ball.

At this time, Terry, who fell to the ground, also stood up. His injuries are not serious. In fact, he was just pushed by someone behind his back, which made him unstable and fell out. Of course, he would not be injured.

However, the really unlucky person is Cech who has suffered from the disaster of pond fish.

Obviously, Cech was hit hard this time.

When he collided with Terry, Cech did not get up with his face in his hands for a long time. He was not swindling, but his face was indeed hurt.

The moment Terry fell to the ground, his head hit his face, hitting the bridge of his nose. The nose is one of the most fragile parts of the human body. Now, his nose keeps bleeding and his nosebleeds keep flowing. . Although such an injury is not a major injury, the visual effect is quite amazing. No matter who it is, it will be terrifying to see a person with blood on his face.

This also made the game have to be suspended-the player's jersey was stained with blood, and he had to change his clothes.

Cech changed his jersey and played again, and Liverpool also had a lot of time. Zhao Yaning stood on the corner kick and was also thinking about how to make a better corner kick.

Chelsea's defense, whether it was last season or this season, was the defense with the fewest conceded goals in the Premier League. Among the Premier League semi-finals, Manchester United's defensive tactics have always been the best one. The most important thing in set-piece defense is cooperation. Only good cooperation can defend well. In this regard, Manchester United is the best one. Although their defender colanders, they are very good at coordinating with the defensive set-piece. And if the worst is Arsenal, their set-piece defense tactics have always been very dependent on Campbell's personal ability. Liverpool is not much better, Hypia's personal ability is also extremely important.

And Chelsea's defense has another meaning: they have many high points and good goalkeepers. Although there is no particularly good place in the tactics, they can control the defense by the player's personal ability. Among the giants, there should be only this one who dares to use parallel positions in set-piece defense.

How to face their defense is also what makes Zhao Yaning helpless. But after all, Cech was injured for a long time, which made Zhao Yaning think calmly: Terry is an old-fashioned England central defender after all. He has bravery and hard work that others do not possess, so there must be his weaknesses. The weakness of the England defender is still obvious.

At this time, Liverpool had already taken a corner kick. Zhao Yaning's long pass went straight to the point, but Terry sabotaged this attack. His header pushed the ball out and did not give Hypia a chance.

"John Terry! Saved Chelsea's fate again!"

Terry's defensive ability is worthy of being recognized by the entire Premier League. And his header also fell to Lampard's feet. But Lampard had just turned around, and Sissoko's tackle was already kicked over.

Lampard jumped to avoid his tackle, but the ball was also picked up by Alonso. He made a long pass and gave the ball to Zhao Yaning, who ran out of the corner kick, and retreated by himself. At this time, Zhao Yaning simply followed the baseline and made it into the penalty area!

Del Horno was the first to jump on it, but apparently he underestimated Zhao Yaning too much. Zhao Yaning's feet gently sent the ball to the right and then quickly moved it back. Then, with a poke, it was a person who easily passed through the crotch, and after passing him, Zhao Yaning changed direction in one step~www.ltnovel.com~ Living in Carvalho, although there is no angle of shooting, in front of him, in the penalty area, there are three points of Milito, Gerrard and Figo. On the Chelsea side, only Terry and Gala are in the team. Defend!

To whom?

Terry blocked Milito behind him, while taking care of Figo, who was further behind, and he followed Gerrard tightly as the two were running. It seems that although the positions of the three people are all possible, they are all a bit difficult.

At this time, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball.

Is the ball towards Figo or Milito? Terry was a little surprised that he would pass to his position. The speed of the ball is fast, but it is not correct enough. Terry can feel it before he can react. The ball hit his arm!

In order to keep Milito behind, his arms were indeed propped up. This is not a very formal defensive action, but he didn't care. But at this time, he was extremely upset in his heart.

The referee ran over and took a penalty.

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool finally received the best opportunity.
