Football’s First Defender

Lampard will always score key goals for Chelsea at critical moments of the game! This was the case in the previous Champions League games, and the same is true in this FA Cup final!

As a midfielder, Lampard's shooting skills are definitely the top in this position. Whether it is a long shot outside the penalty area or a goal shot inside the penalty area, Lampard can control his body very well. Be able to use the most effective way to complete the goal and score goals!

With this kick, Lampard showed why he can score so many goals in the midfield position, even scoring more goals than many forwards!

The excellent goal control ability and the ability to seize opportunities have made Lampard gradually become Chelsea's most stable scoring point, and gradually move towards the throne of Chelsea's top scorer in team history!

Chelsea's players, following Lampard's goal, ran over excitedly to celebrate, right inside Arsenal's penalty area, cheering with joy!

Only about ten minutes into the second half, Chelsea once again took the lead. This sudden goal made Chelsea fans understand that they are far away from the first trophy of this year, the FA Cup. , One step closer!

After just qualifying for the Champions League, Chelsea is very likely to continue to bring fans the joy of winning the championship!

Hiddink, watching the game from the sidelines, was also very surprised by Lampard's goal. At this time, it may be 5 minutes away from the first substitution time that Hiddink planned in his mind. Hiddink thought that the team's real offensive development should be after he made offensive substitutions and adjustments. Unexpectedly, the current "unoffensive" lineup on the field is only intended to consume Arsenal's defensive energy. The lineup actually gave me a huge surprise!

Now, it's time for Hiddink to make a quick selection and how to adjust the lineup for the game after that! After Hiddink takes the lead, does he need to change his established tactics?

Hiddink is still happily entangled in his team's subsequent tactical execution, but Wenger is already walking back and forth anxiously on the sidelines at this time! Although there is still more than half an hour left in the game, Wenger also knows that his Arsenal has been pushed to the edge of a cliff again!

There is no need for Professor Wenger to emphasize that the Arsenal players on the field have already started their offensive again consciously! They understand that for Arsenal at this time, the only way is to attack!

"Arsenal players re-kick-off in the center circle after Chelsea finished celebrating!"

"When he was defending Essien just now, Nasri was a bit procrastinated in his own half, but at this moment, he is eager to regain the score for Arsenal on the offensive end and complete his own redemption!"

"Arsenal attack on the left!"

"Nasri! After getting the ball, he wanted to rely on his personal ability to force a breakthrough, but Bosingwa's personal defense was very good. In addition, Mikel suddenly outflanked from the middle, Nasri's attack this time , there is no possibility of success!"

In the end, Nasri had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​going it alone, and chose to pass the ball back to Clichy who was supporting him behind him!

"Clichy, without any hesitation or extra action, directly followed Nasri's return pass, and chose to pass the ball from the wing to find Bendtner in the penalty area!"

But Bendtner's threat in the penalty area is really not that great in this game, because Terry's defense against him is too tight!

"This time, Terry still didn't relax his defense against Bendtner in this opportunity to pass the ball to fight for the landing point. Drop!"

"But Terry didn't actually jump to the highest point. He just touched the football with the top of his head and continued to push the ball higher! Yang Feng, who was next to Terry, immediately reacted and hit the second landing point accurately. The ball went directly to Malouda on the left side of his own team!"

"Chelsea's chance to fight back!"

"Malouda dribbled the ball straight forward and quickly brought the Arsenal players back to their own half!"

"However, for Malouda's defense, Arsenal immediately lacked wing defenders!"

When Walcott passed the ball from Clichy just now, he also entered Chelsea's penalty area, ready to see if there was a chance to steal a shot. At this time, he couldn't return to the defense in time to catch up with Malouda!

"But in front of Malouda, there is still a defense line composed of Sania and Denilson!"

Although Malouda's front and left and right sides have a huge space for changing directions compared to the defensive range of the two defenders, it is used for Malouda to turn and break through! But this kind of excellence will inevitably sacrifice the acceleration of Malouda's straight-line distance! Give other Arsenal players more time to return to defense!

"Malouda, seeing that he was forced by Arsenal's defense, had to slow down, and then directly chose a long pass!"

"Directly connect with the two of Drogba!"

"Drogba! Carrying Kolo Toure's defense, ran to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area, where Malouda's pass landed!"

"However, Kolo Toure's defense maintained a very high level in this game. He even defended Drogba 1v1, and he did not suffer from physical confrontation during the march!"

Unlike the set-piece defense, which is almost a physical confrontation on the spot, the physical confrontation on the move not only tests the player's physical strength, but also the explosive power, as well as the player's ability to control the body!

And in terms of confrontation on the move, Drogba is definitely the world's top!

That is to say, there are obviously many forward players who are taller and stronger than Drogba, but the only one called Warcraft in Côte d'Ivoire is Drogba! Others, being able to become little monsters, are enough to kill the Quartet in today's football world!

The reason is not that Drogba has any outstanding small skills, but that Drogba's own confrontation ability in the running process is unmatched in the world! One force down ten times, excellent strength, stable and accurate shooting skills, coupled with some practical skills that have been practiced hard, caused Drogba to be abnormal in the penalty area!

But in this defense, Kolo Toure's performance was really outstanding!

Drogba didn't have much of an advantage, but he still took advantage of his greater flexibility than Kolo Touré. This time, Drogba forcibly stretched out his right foot to hook Malouda's pass!

"Drogba! Under Kolo Toure's defensive interference, he hooked the football with his feet at a slant, but his figure was a little staggering!"

Kolo Toure's defensive strength has been maintained very well, and within the scope of no fouls, he has maintained the greatest interference to Drogba!

And Alexander Song also rushed to the position in time from the other side, forming a double-team situation between the two!

When Drogba tried his best to hook the ball, he also observed the situation he was in! Within the range of his eyes, Drogba didn't find his teammates who could keep up with him, so he cut off the thought of passing the ball!

"Drogba! Go straight to the goal!"

"With his body still standing still, Drogba almost lost his balance, he hooked the ball directly, and after landing, he took advantage of the opportunity to hit the goal with his right foot!"

After hitting the goal, Drogba, who continued to move his right leg, naturally lost his balance and fell to the ground! Kolo Toure, who has been in a physical confrontation with Drogba, was also caught off guard and was directly brought down by Drogba!

"Fabianski! Sideways save, no touch!"

"This ball flew to the dead corner of the rear point!"

"No!"

"The angle of the shot is still too small. If the arc of Drogba's ball is wider, it may still spin into the goal, but this time, it can only fly out of the bottom line helplessly!"

"Drogba showed his personal ability as the best striker, but he was a little short of scoring!"

…………

After some substitutions and adjustments, Wenger successively adjusted Adebayor and Ramsey as two offensive players, respectively replacing Bendtner, who performed poorly, and Denilson, who has been running on the defensive end of the midfield. !

Prepare to launch a late attack on Chelsea!

At this time, Hiddink made a high ball pass against Arsenal's crazy attack on the two wings, and also replaced his defender on the right!

Replaced Ballack, who had a lot of defenders in the middle, who was a little idle, and replaced him. Among the substitutes, Kalou was the most suitable for defense on the right!

Kalu's playing, at this time, can completely act as a right forward position. He can use his sufficient physical strength as a sharp knife on the right side when Chelsea counterattacks, and he can also use his flexibility and speed to be effective. Assist the right defender Bosingwa to ensure that his team has a better defensive effect on the defense on the right!

Mikel and Essien, on the other hand, can devote themselves to the defensive line in the middle, make full use of the two world-class defensive midfielders, completely restrict Arsenal in the middle, and have some aggressive attacking methods in the middle!

The adjustments on both sides are extremely targeted!

Chelsea, after taking the lead, turned into the most utilitarian team of the year, and began to prepare to rely on defense to counterattack, persist until the end, and strive for the final victory of the game!

After taking the lead in the game, Hiddink finally chose to seek stability. As for the offensive tactics he had worked so hard to prepare during the halftime break, he was directly thrown aside!

What is the purpose of the offense, not for the goal, for the lead, for the victory, now that the goal has been scored and the lead has been achieved, then there is no need to worry about how the goal is scored, all you need to do is to ensure that your team can win the game Just win!

"Chelsea's defensive formation is very tight! Especially after replacing Kalu, now Kalu is serving as the defensive protection in front of Bosingwa, so that Chelsea's two wings are now very balanced on both ends of the offense and defense!"

"Arsenal's players are helpless in the face of Chelsea's impregnable walls!"

"Arsenal's several offensive attempts, no matter which direction it is, rarely have a chance to get rid of their defenders!"

"Chelsea players, their individual defense ability is really too strong!"

"The two players on the wing, especially Nasri on the left side, are better. They can pass a few balls occasionally!"

"The offensive players in the middle, under the crazy running and pressing defense of Essien and Mikel, Ramsey and Cesc Fabregas' passing and receiving of the ball have been greatly interfered and affected! "

Walcott is still very young at this time, and his speed is indeed his advantage, but in terms of physical confrontation and game experience, he is still far behind Chelsea's left defender Ashley Cole and Malouda. As the game continued, Walcott had fewer and fewer opportunities to get up to speed, and Arsenal's entire right-sided attack was almost useless!

Needless to say in the middle, facing two world-class defensive midfielders, Cesc Fabregas and Ramsey, a lack of physical confrontation ability, a fledgling boy, is also restricted to death!

In the end, it’s true, you can only rely on Nasri on the left side of Arsenal, relying on your own personal ability, and can barely create some threatening offenses, instead of being like other roads, which can only be forced by defensive interference. Pass the ball without threat!

In the second half of the second half of the game! Facing Cesc Fabregas, who is willing to delay and organize the attack, and the new Ramsey, who is also accustomed to advancing from the back, Hiddink transformed the three midfielders into an inverted triangle configuration!

The two defensive midfielders Essien and Mikel are positioned ahead of time to block Fafa and Ramsey full-time, while Lampard is in an inverted triangle close to the penalty area and is responsible for making up for them appropriately. However, the main defensive task is to defend willingly. Arshavin and Adebayor cruising out of the restricted area!

Yang Feng, Terry, and Lampard formed a three-man defensive line, responsible for marking Arsenal's double forwards, Adebayor and Arshavin!

For Arshavin, and Adebayor's constant movement, Terry directly gave up the constraints of position and marked Adebayor full-time! Yang Feng, on the other hand, was given a relatively free and independent defensive position. While maintaining his defensive attention to his old teammate Arshavin, when Arshavin was not in the dangerous area of ​​the penalty area, Yang Feng could also decide the defensive position based on his own judgment. area, and hand over Arshavin to Lampard to defend!

With Yang Feng acting as a half-free man, the passes that pass Arsenal barely into the penalty area can always be directly destroyed, ensuring Chelsea's defensive air defense capability!

As for the occasional ground pass from various directions, Yang Feng directly followed his own judgment most of the time, sometimes retreated to defend with peace of mind, and sometimes he rushed forward directly to complete the clearance !

"Arsenal's offense! Hit the wall again and again. Although the ball is in Arsenal's hands most of the time, and the number of passes Arsenal has been increasing sharply, but the number of goals formed, Arsenal is Few, even under Chelsea's defense, Arsenal didn't even have many long-range shots!"

"Especially Yang Feng, on the defensive end, he doesn't look like a young central defender in his early 20s. His performance is so sophisticated, as if he is Maldini, Cannavaro and other veterans who have experienced the ups and downs of football! "

"Under Arsenal's continuous attack, Yang Feng can always make almost the best choice in the penalty area when there are many seemingly sudden passes! The success rate of headers is 100%, and the interception rate is 100%. It's also scary high, and there are almost no mistakes!"

"Arsenal, is it really powerless?"

Wenger finally replaced Diaby who had suffered a minor injury before! Replaced Walcott, hoping to make a last-ditch effort!

And Hiddink, who is dedicated to defense, is ready to rely on the existing lineup after replacing Kalou!

After all, on Chelsea's bench, there are no good substitute players left at this time, they can be replaced, and two hole cards are left, which can also guarantee that in case Arsenal score, Chelsea can replace two offensive players , Re-strengthen the offense!

"Yang Feng! With a sliding shovel, he cleanly shoveled off the ball at Arshavin's feet!"

As a former Zenit teammate, Arshavin's habitual fake moves and inadvertent small moves when completing technical moves were all kept in mind by Yang Feng during the day and night together!

Therefore, Yang Feng can always act as a terminator in Arshavin's rare or rare offensive opportunities, restricting Arshavin to an extremely uncomfortable position!

"It's Yang Feng again! Header clearance! Adebayor is still in a physical confrontation with Terry, fighting for the header position, but Yang Feng has suddenly rushed out from behind the two of them, jumped high, and pushed the ball out Out of bounds! The pass opportunity created by Nasri was destroyed by Yang Feng just like that!"

"No chance! Arsenal's offense has come to a complete standstill!"

For the Arsenal players, getting rid of the Chelsea defender in front of them is already a difficult task. After finally breaking through the first line of defense, the pass into the penalty area is always in vain. And back!

Yang Feng, who can always appear near Arsenal's passing position, has become the most stable part of Chelsea's defense!

The game seemed to have lost its suspense! Although the gap is only one goal, Chelsea's terrifying strength on the defensive end has gradually plunged Arsenal's players into despair!

Yang Feng! In this set of defensive tactics, the more free position makes his own performance even better!

In the end, Chelsea once again showed the bus defense mode that made most teams feel desperate in the Mourinho era!

Arsenal has possession of the ball, but almost no threat to attack!

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game! Chelsea! Won the 2008/09 FA Cup!"
