Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Even though it was the first time to enter the Stanford Stadium, the Blues fans made Wang Pei feel warm and at home.

Of course, no matter how warm the pre-match atmosphere was, the game still had to be played with real swords and guns.

Three points is the primary goal of Chelsea, who is playing at home.

The victory in this game is enough for Chelsea to take the lead in the group, and the club is determined to win.

"Beep~!"

The referee blew the whistle, and the fourth round of the Champions League group stage this season officially began.

As soon as it came up, Chelsea launched a crazy attack.

The team's ball movement and organization were not affected by Jorginho's retreat, and Kante completed the task very well in the midfielder position.

For such an offensive frenzy, the Ajax team was mentally prepared, and the pre-match defensive tactics drills also provided confidence for this young army.

The three lines remained close, and the teammates cooperated with each other, switching defenses, and assisting defense handovers, just like a tight instrument, without any mistakes.

On the field, although Chelsea had an overwhelming advantage, they had few shots. Most of the time, the ball was constantly passed outside the Ajax defense line. There were few real penetrating passes, and few killing opportunities were created.

The two sides suppressed each other in attack and defense throughout the first half. To be honest, such a scene was not good to look at, and even a bit boring, making people drowsy.

For Ajax, they could accept the draw in the first half and the tense situation.

On the other hand, for Chelsea, who was determined to win and get three points at home, such a scene and result would only put the team in a state of impatience and anxiety.

"Counterattack, we must pay attention to the quality of the counterattack in the second half." In the locker room, Ten Hag repeatedly emphasized.

With Chelsea's offensive system and the individual abilities of the players, it was only a matter of time before the goal was lost, and blindly defending was also consuming the confidence of the players.

In the defensive counterattack tactics, defense is important, but counterattack is the core of the core.

Only by putting pressure on the opponent on the offensive end can the opponent be afraid of attacking. If they defend and attack recklessly, with the personal ability of players like Chelsea, they will definitely be able to break through the goal of Ajax.

As the head coach, Ten Hag deeply understands this truth.

Of course, the players of Ajax also understand that the strength of the counterattack depends on Wang Po, who is the engine and booster.

Throughout the first half, Ajax's No. 29 did not do anything on the offensive end and did not look excited.

In fact, this was a battle of wits and courage between Wang Po and Kante. He was testing Kante's defensive strength against him and trying to consume the defensive energy of the French midfielder as much as possible.

Consuming in the first half and exerting force in the second half is also one of his personal strategies.

"Beep"

The second half of the game started, and it was still the rhythm of Chelsea's main attack.

Hazard exerted force, worthy of the existence of Jian Shisan. Without three or four people, this Belgian could never be suppressed.

Ajax's defensive strategy is there, compressing the space and maximizing the defensive advantage of the number of people between regions.

This kind of particularly "fine" passing and receiving ball is unlikely to create a crisis for Ajax's goal.

If one way doesn't work, then try another way.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Chelsea's offensive choices began to be simplified, and they used high-altitude balls with the center forward as the axis to attack Ajax's goal.

Although center forward Morata is a "six-meridian magic sword" that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and there are even many famous scenes that are not good, he can be in Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea and other wealthy clubs, which is a recognition of his strength.

In terms of center forward attributes, he is still a first-class level.

Take the high ball, protect the ball, pass the ball, transfer, pull the defense...

The existence of such a tall center forward involved a lot of Ajax's defensive energy, and for a while, the defense line began to loosen.

William made a cross from the bottom, and Morata, who was in position, headed the ball, but unfortunately the ball was too straight and was confiscated by Onana, which attracted a sigh from the home fans.

Five minutes later, Chelsea had another chance to score. Morata leaned against De Ligt with his back to the ball, held the ball steadily at his feet, and passed it back to Kante who was in the back row. The latter hit the ball, but the ball's trajectory was a little off, and it flew out of the bottom line by brushing the corner of the goal.

What a pity.

After missing the chance to score, Morata held his head with both hands and regretted it.

Ajax was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. The rhythm needed to change. Wang Po began to take the initiative to ask for the ball and take over the game.

Kante, who had been following behind, also looked up.

Wang Po, who took the ball with his back, was not in a hurry to turn around, but used himself as the axis to dispatch the ball left and right. This method was not to pave the way for the attack, but to slow down the rhythm of the game and disrupt Chelsea's offensive rhythm.

After all, even if they could control the ball until the end of the game, a draw would be an acceptable result for Ajax.

Chelsea was the one who was really anxious.

What they want is three points and the initiative to compete for the first place in the group.

In such an anxious mood, the mentality of the Chelsea players became impatient, and the players on the field showed inconsistency in offense and defense. Some players anxiously wanted to press the defense in the front court, while others thought that retreating was the best option.

This also led to a huge gap between the three lines of Chelsea.

Ajax's chance came.

Just when all Chelsea players thought that Wang Po, who had the ball with his back to the goalkeeper, would choose to pass the ball left and right, but for this ball, Ajax No. 29 and his teammates made a two-pass wall cooperation, turned around and bypassed Kante's defense, and accelerated directly.

In the pure speed competition, Kante and Wang Po are ultimately at a disadvantage.

After getting the ball, Wang Po faced the Spanish full-back Azpilicueta who was filling in the wing. He made a pendulum pass and lost Azpilicueta's center of gravity, winning space for himself to break through. He rushed straight to the wing and all the way to the bottom line, where Rudiger rushed over.

In the state of dynamic ball holding, Wang Po had already thought about what he should do next. With a quick bull tail pass, the German central defender leaned back and sat on the ground, watching Wang Po dribbling the ball from his side into the penalty area with a somewhat embarrassed look.

At this time, it was too late for Marcos Alonso to fill in the position again.

Raising his leg to shoot, Wang Po chose to push the ball into the far corner, Kepa was unable to stop the ball, and the ball went in.

1-0.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Wang Po broke through the Chelsea defense, which was known for its "defense", by working alone in the backcourt.

The iron-blooded Blues were vulnerable at this moment.

The entire Stamford Bridge fell into an unusually quiet atmosphere.
