Chapter 343 Chelsea-style offense (1)
On this day, almost all the English media gathered at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, and there were also many foreign media who came to the scene to "spy the military situation" for the European Champions Cup. Chelsea and Manchester United are undoubtedly very likely to achieve good results in the Champions League The team, before the start of the Champions League final stage, the direct collision of these two teams does have a deep pre-war analysis reference significance for the collision between some wealthy clubs and them.
All the English media know that Chelsea have set their goal this season on the 'quadruple crown', so it is almost impossible for them to give up the League Cup. A champion like the League Cup.
As a result, this game will almost certainly be a violent anomaly like sparks hitting the earth.
Before the game, there was enough news about these two teams, but as the game approached, these news, comments, and analysis almost all disappeared, and the focus of everyone's attention was not gossip news, but fact For example, what kind of lineup will the two head coaches form, whether the main players of both sides can all play, and so on.
At the pre-match press conference, both Mourinho and Ferguson performed very flatly. They only participated in a symbolic and official way. After talking about their views on the game and the current team situation, they returned to the locker room one after another. It can also be seen from this that these two big-name head coaches are still a little nervous about the game. Their desire for victory is unquestionable. Although this is only the first round of the match, the two teams still do it very seriously.
When the game was approaching, Stamford Bridge was full of seats, most of them were fans of the Blues, and there were more than 3000 fans of the Red Devils. Of course, compared to the number of fans of the Blues, the number of Red Devils fans is very rare. , they were just arranged in a corner in the northeast direction.
At this time, outside the game field, there are still many loyal fans waiting outside the stadium, looking for any opportunity to buy tickets. To the scalpers who haven't sold their tickets or the fans who don't watch the game temporarily and want to refund their tickets.
However, this waiting is bound to be in vain.
Tickets for this match were in short supply. Many people couldn't buy tickets a week in advance, and those tickets that were reserved for sale before the match were sold out as soon as they were released.
At 4:25 p.m., players from both sides had already stepped onto the field. At this time, Stamford Bridge's "queen" commentator Creed Pesvak began to introduce the players of the two teams:
"John Terry!!"
At this time, many Blues fans in the stands hadn't entered the state of watching the game, but when they heard the name of the Chelsea captain, they still cheered in unison. It can be seen that Terry has played for Chelsea in the Premier League all these years. This kind of pure man's fighting spirit and strength has already won a lot of prestige among the fans.
"Alan Wang!!!!!!!!!"
"Ah~~~嗡~~~~~"
However, even though Terry has been at Chelsea for many years and is the captain of the team, judging from the cheers from the Blues fans, compared to Wang Li, who only played for Chelsea for half a season, he is still somewhat gap.
This can't be blamed for the paranoia of the fans. Because forward players can always score goals, they are naturally easier to win more reputation than defenders, and their reputation is easier to build. What's more, Wang Li has scored too many goals this season. This made it very difficult for him not to win. He even now has a group of extremely loyal "Ai fans". These fans have a deep-rooted belief that as long as Wang Li plays the game, the team will definitely win.
I have to say that this seems a bit paranoid, but at least until now, Chelsea has not had any losing records.
After the players of the two teams entered the field, Chelsea captain Terry and the opponent's captain Giggs went to guess the coin. Terry guessed right, and he chose to take the right to take the side, and Manchester United also had the right to kick-off.
In fact, the styles of Manchester United and Chelsea are not much different. Both belong to the team that puts more emphasis on defense than offense. Since many of the English players are physically fit, the two teams have more or less English styles. It doesn't make much difference which team kicks off first and who kicks off later.
After the coins were over, the players of the two teams stood in their positions one after another, waiting for the start of the game.
As the soul of the team, no matter where Wang Li stands, he can attract the attention of most people.
This is the scene on the field now. When the players of the two teams stood up on the field and waited for the kick-off, almost all the Manchester United players turned their eyes to Wang Li who was standing at the back of the center circle. Their eyes contained envy, Jealousy, fighting spirit, etc., but all of them are aimed at Wang Li. Undoubtedly, as the media said, if the Manchester United team wants to beat Chelsea, they must limit Wang Li's performance-a forward player has won the Manchester United team. It is almost an honor to have the 'special care' of the opposing coach's tactical defense.
Regardless of what Ferguson said to the Manchester United players, in short, it can be seen from this point that Manchester United will definitely not admit defeat easily.
As the core of the team's offense, Wang Li's position is just behind the two forwards, but this does not mean that he must be a midfielder who is mainly responsible for passing deadly balls, or the core responsible for organizing offense. In fact, in Mourinho's tactics, Wang Li has been given the largest free movement area.
In this game, Manchester United formed a 451 formation. With the deepening of the winter game, it is difficult for Manchester United's bench depth to support this consumption. Therefore, Rooney, the team's most valuable teenager, played Arranged at the right winger position, he and Cristiano Ronaldo formed a double winger to attack Chelsea's defense.
The other players in the midfield are captain Roy Keane, Scholes and Fletcher. Saha, who has just returned from injury, is at the forefront of the team as a lone striker, and Phil Neville is the defender. , Brown, Sylvester and Heinze, the goalkeeper is still 26-year-old Howard.
At this time, French striker Louis Saha and team captain Roy Keane stood in the middle circle, Saha stepped on the football, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle.
However, the eyes of these two people were staring at the feet of the black-haired boy opposite. Before the match, Ferguson had told them emphatically that Wang Li's defense must not be easily chosen to pass by force. The Jazz studied a lot of Chelsea game videos and finally found that although Chelsea's No. 21 seldom participated in defense, his stealing efficiency was very high. As an experienced head coach, he would pay more attention to this, but he couldn't understand it. Why does Wang Li have such defensive strength, but rarely participates in the team's defense——
How could he know that the reason why Wang Li did this was more because he liked to attack.
Looking back at Chelsea, they formed a 4231 formation, and Wang Li was placed in the middle of '3', that is, the somewhat ambiguous position between the shadow forward and the attacking midfielder.
Originally, Chelsea had Alkin Robben and Damien Duff, two left-footed players on the wing, and both of them are very good at cutting inside. The cooperation between them has been very good. In many people's eyes Come on, it would be better to replace this formation with 4321. Wang Li's position was even a bit redundant, which also caused a decline in the team's defensive strength.
But in fact, although Wang Li was placed in that embarrassing position, under normal circumstances, he would always choose to stand in the front of the center circle, so this formation can be said to be a 42121 formation, as the team's offensive Wang Li, who is the core, is really arranged at the core of the formation. In this way, with the protection of a "circle" of teammates in the attack, Wang Li will have many more choices, and the pressure will naturally be less. This is why Murray A refinement of Neo's 'Zone Offensive Tactic'.
In this game, Icelander Edur Gudjensen was placed on the bench, and Drogba returned to the green field, although in the previous game, Drogba was in the competition with Gudjenssen In a disadvantaged position, but for this important game, Mourinho still chose him, which shows that his position in Chelsea is still very stable.
The No. [-] goalkeeper Thomas Clark also stood on the court. From this, it can be seen that the competition for Thomas from various giants in the winter transfer still played a role in his position in Mourinho's heart. There is no doubt about the strength of Thomas, who has pre-purchased, so Mourinho must also pass the observation of the competition to determine whether to choose Thomas or Cech.
The double defensive midfielders are still Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele. Perhaps in the Chelsea team, only the main players in this position are the most stable. These two are almost irreplaceable, even if there are other competitors , and can only play side by side with them when the head coach arranges other tactics.
Finally, the defenders were Glenn Johnson, John Terry, William Gallas and Paulo Ferreira.
Thiago Mendes, who was criticized by the media as the biggest 'parallel import', still didn't have the chance to play. He didn't even make the team's squad in this game, and Ricardo Carvalho also missed it due to injury Such an important game, I have to say, this is definitely a pity.
Just looking at the lineups of the two teams, you will know that for this game, both Manchester United and Chelsea are bound to win. The advantages.
For this game, the imperial TV station in the ancient eastern country also broadcast live. In the far east, there are still many fans of Manchester United and Chelsea.
If it is said that a year ago, due to Manchester United's plans in China in recent years, the number of Manchester United fans was much higher than that of Chelsea fans, but now, due to the strong performance of Wang Li, who is half Chinese, and almost no one in Chelsea The number of fans supporting Chelsea has increased sharply, although this does not add much popularity income to the Chelsea club, but it can also reflect an invisible popularity.
In the 20 minutes before the game, the TV screen has switched to the Stamford Bridge Stadium. The crazy European fans and the 'organized and disciplined' cheering and cheering performance can really bring people a lot of joy. Less shock and longing.The on-site commentator and guest guide Zhang also analyzed the starting lists of both sides.
Director Zhang believes that Sir Alex Ferguson's intention to arrange 5 midfielders is obvious, just to curb Wang Li's performance.Now Wang Li is the core of Chelsea's offense and is also the player with the most goals. As long as you want to win the game and enter the League Cup final, you must freeze Wang Li's performance. This is the consensus of all football professionals.
But saying it is one thing, doing it is another.
There is no doubt about Wang Li's personal skills. With the progress of the league, his tactical perspective, game experience and other abilities have increased, and his cooperation with his teammates has become more and more tacit. It is really not an easy task for a player who has done a very good job and has first-class personal skills.Therefore, Manchester United can only increase the number of midfielders, use the number of these big-name stars to control the game area, and block Wang Li like a sea to achieve the purpose of restraining his performance. This is also a choice without choice.
However, whether it is effective or not will be proved by real competitions.
When the referee blew his whistle to indicate the kick-off, the commentator was still looking up the latest relevant information of the two teams, but Director Zhang had already set his sights on the screen. As a rare football professional in the ancient oriental country, He knows that anything can happen in the game, and he must not be negligent just because it just started, or he may miss the wonderful picture.
The choice of chapter guidance is very correct.
After kick-off, Luis Saha pushed the ball past captain Roy Keane, who heeled the ball past Fletcher.
As a rising star in Scotland, Fletcher joined the Manchester United youth team as early as 15 years old, and he also played against the Wolverhampton youth team in that contest. In my mind, Chelsea's black-haired kid is just a player who can 'juggle' and can't cooperate with his teammates. Fletcher has always been worried about the failure of that game, and he is very unwilling.
And the Scottish star almost played in the Premier League with Wang Li, but now the worth of the two is almost unreasonable.
This made Fletcher, who has always been hailed as a "genius", very unwilling. Whenever he saw Wang Li, emotions such as jealousy, disdain, and unwillingness filled his mind. Before the game, the head coach Ferguson emphasized that Saying 'Facing Allen's defense, it's best to cooperate with your teammates and not overpower', which gave Fletcher an urge to try.
Now, he's just in his early 20s, young people are impulsive, it's really not surprising to have this kind of thinking, and this one-on-one opportunity came immediately.
After the start of the game, the forwards of the two teams ran toward each other's frontcourt staggeredly. As the football was under the control of Manchester United, Chelsea only had Wang Li and Didier Drogba slowly running toward the half-court of Manchester United, but this was enough. , Wang Li's running route from the middle road just passed Fletcher's side——
"Stephen!! Pass the ball!!"
When he saw that the dark-haired kid was about to swim to Fletcher, Manchester United captain Roy Keane immediately yelled to remind him to pass the ball.
However, Fletcher really wants to try. This is not just a one-on-one duel, but also a way to build confidence for himself.
He first pulled the ball to his side very steadily, and then quickly changed direction from the oblique side of Wang Li's running direction. At the same time, he twisted his body forcefully, trying to pass Wang Li's defense in this sudden way.
If the opponent is an ordinary player, he will basically not react in this way, but he used the wrong goal.
Just now, when he heard the opponent's captain shouting, Wang Li really thought that the kid in front of him would definitely pass the ball, so he just slowed down his movements symbolically, intending to scare him, and then ran towards the frontcourt, but He didn't expect that the opponent didn't obey the command and chose to overpower.
Although he was a little surprised, when he saw the opportunity, Wang Li immediately used the "following legs like a shadow" as a conditional launch. This is almost a cheating stealing move on the football field. Fletcher kicked the ball to the side, and then ran forward twice on the spot with some unbalanced body.
Fletcher was stunned by the steal. He turned his head and saw the big black man on the other side catch the ball. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had lost the ball. He regretted that he didn't listen to the coach and made a mistake. He turned and ran back, participating in the team's defense.
Yes, Drogba, who just ran across the halfway line, just received the ball.
Facing this heavenly football, Drogba couldn't believe it, but after reacting, he still passed a diagonal pass to Lampard behind him.
The situation on the field changed instantly, and Chelsea changed from a defensive side to an offensive side.
After stealing the ball, Wang Li did not ask his teammates for the ball, but continued to slowly run towards the Manchester United half, looking for a good position to catch the ball from time to time.Don't think that Chelsea has been bombarding indiscriminately in the original game, thinking that Chelsea is a team that focuses on offense. In fact, Chelsea's offense is very stable.
This kind of stability is different from the Spanish-style "dragging" and Arsenal's total defense, but a slow advance of positional warfare. Although there is Wang Li in Chelsea, quick counterattacks are the sharpest , but no team would be foolish enough to give Chelsea this chance.
Soon, after the football passed several times in Chelsea's backcourt, seeing the players in the frontcourt running to their positions, William Gallas made a sudden diagonal pass, which opened the curtain of Chelsea's attack.
At the same time, Wang Li, who had just touched the ball once, stayed in a position a little ahead of the center line. He didn't run back to find his teammates to ask, but just stayed there, constantly competing for positions with the players who defended him closely. This feeling seems to be fighting for a header, but in fact, the football has not passed the halfway line.
When Damien Duff passed the ball diagonally to him from the side, Wang Li immediately took a small step, and when Phil Neville didn't react, he stepped forward to receive the pass Afterwards, he shook away Phil's steal in a disguised form, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the penalty area, and made a big-footed volley gesture, which made the goalkeeper Howard nervous.
However, Wang Li did not shoot. This point was too far from the goal. He was not sure that he could shoot the ball in. So after using this action to shake off Sylvester who was intercepting, he made a long pass and handed the ball to the goal. Left, and then immediately started running towards the restricted area.
On the left, after receiving the ball, Robben ignored the approaching Manchester United defenders, but hoisted the ball towards the Manchester United penalty area with a big foot.
Wang Li, who just ran to the point, jumped into the air, wiped the side of the ball with the back of his head, and the football fell exactly toward the point——
There is Didier Drogba ready to go! !
Facing the flying ball, the Ivory Coast beast chose to volley without hesitation. This action frightened half of the thousands of Red Devils fans who came to Stamford Bridge to stand up from the stands, and Ferguson couldn't sit still on the sidelines. Now, he stared at his side's big penalty area, and stood up directly from the coach's bench. The clean and neat movements made it hard to see that this was an old man in his 60s! !
"Drogba!! Shot!!!"
But the kick failed to hit the ball. Drogba kicked the football a little low, but it still went straight to the left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Howard was still standing on the right! !
Fortunately, Rio Ferdinand, the backcourt general who had just renewed his contract, responded quickly. He stretched out his foot and kicked the football reflexively, causing the ball to fly directly out of the baseline.
Ferguson on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly with a half-hearted heart, while the celebrations of all the Blues fans stopped abruptly.
"Roben, kick the ball!! Wang Li headed the ball, Drogba!!! Shot!!! Oops, the ball was kicked out of the baseline by Ferdinand." The call came out, and the commentator next to him raised his head from the data when he heard the voice. Obviously, the commentator was blind to the ball, and he had reached a very unprofessional level.
"...Well..., we can see that in the opening minute, the football has been counter-robbed by Chelsea, and then a wave of steady offensives was launched, and this wave of offensives directly threatened Manchester United's goal. It can be said , Chelsea players performed very well in the game, Manchester United seems to be in crisis..."
After reacting, the narrator finally started nagging, but in fact, he didn't see the scene just now at all.
"Corner!!"
"Only two minutes into the game, Chelsea had a very threatening shot and got a corner kick!! If the game continues like this, Manchester United will be in danger."
