Football’s First Defender

"The game has begun! Barcelona, ​​which sits at home, kicks off first!"

"Let me first introduce the starters of the two teams..."

"For this ball, Henry received Harvey's transfer ball on the left, and wanted to overtake directly from the outside!"

Only one minute into the game, the commentator hadn't finished his introduction to the players of the two teams. Barcelona had already launched their crazy offensive!

The biggest striker in the Premier League back then, Henry the Great, was directly on the left, relying on speed, trying to forcibly tear through Ivanovic's defense!

"More than half a body! Henry's speed far exceeds Ivanovic's!"

For Ivanovic, he is now facing the 32-year-old Henry. Henry is not in his peak state, but he is still an excellent striker with quite distinctive technical characteristics!

Henry's breakthrough speed with the ball may not be as fast as in previous years, but from the outside, he can still try to speed up and break through a full-back with a height of 1.88 meters!

"The tackle from the side and the rear directly intercepted the ball with people! Ivanovic, at the cost of a foul, blocked Henry's bottom pass! The ball Ivanovic was not yellow carded by the referee , the referee has taken care of it!"

"Only 1 minute and 10 seconds into the game, Barcelona got an excellent free kick from the left side!"

Regarding his own foul, Ivanovic believed that he had to commit it under the circumstances! At that position just now, Ivanovic knew that he had been forcibly overtaken by half a body, and there was still a straight-line distance of more than 10 meters from the bottom line. Henry could not only use his speed to pass himself, but pass the ball without interference !

There is even a chance, instead of passing the ball, he directly forcibly accelerates and changes direction, turning into the penalty area, creating even greater opportunities. Ivanovic dare not bet on what choice Henry will make! There is no big problem for Chelsea's defense in the penalty area from the cross from the side, but if Henry really directly enters the penalty area from the left, then the threat caused will be even greater for Chelsea's defense!

Under this choice, a free kick given to Barcelona on the wing for a foul seems not so important!

"Harvey, stand in front of the penalty spot of the free kick! The angle of this free kick to hit the goal directly is very small. Judging from the running distance left by Harvey, he should not choose to hit the goal directly!"

Harvey's final choice was to send a curve ball and fly directly to the back of the goal! Even if there is no running distance, not enough power to kick the ball, and the speed of the ball is not very fast, but Harvey's control of the ball's trajectory is excellent!

The ball flew directly to the upper right corner of the post goal, like a pass or a shot! Cech could only take a quick step back, keeping his eyes fixed on the football, while hastily retreating to the back position!

"Xavi takes a free kick! It seems to pass and shoot!"

"Eto'o! The African cheetah was alert, quickly ran from the middle of the penalty area to the point behind the goal, leaned back slightly, received Harvey's pass, and directly headed the goal!"

Ballack, who was in charge of marking Eto'o, just noticed the erratic pass at the goal. When he found that Eto'o had popped out of the goal and went back in an instant, Ballack wanted to chase but had already It was too late, Eto'o had already taken off directly at that time and completed the header!

Facing Petr Cech, who had rushed to the back point and blocked the angle of the near corner, Eto'o directly chose to head the ball to the upper left corner of the far goal. The ball was pushed out by Eto'o in a parabola, cutting He has no other way to save, but can only watch the football and fly to the other side of the goal!

When Harvey sent a free kick just now, Yang Feng's main target was the tall full-back in Barcelona's formation, and then the "liver fighter" Abidal!

As one of the few high-point contenders in the Barcelona team, Yang Feng naturally treats it conscientiously! As for Abidal, the running position just now was to rush forward, which also drove away Yang Feng's defense, making Yang Feng helpless when he saw that the ball was sent back to threaten the position!

However, Eto'o's header this time gave Yang Feng a chance to show himself in front of the world audience!

"Eto'o's shot went over the heads of all the Chelsea players and fell towards the goal!"

"Yang Feng! Directly inside the small penalty area, quickly move back above the penalty area line, jump up and head the ball to clear!"

"Eto'o's header was resolved by Yang Feng's header above the goal line at the last moment!"

"Yang Feng! He was exceptionally calm at the critical moment. There was no accident. The timing of the jump on the goal line was well grasped. The ball was pushed out of the penalty area firmly and firmly!"

The big stage of the UEFA Champions League is the best opportunity to showcase the players. Yang Feng's outstanding performance at the beginning of the game also made the Chinese fans thousands of miles away very happy. Yang Feng cheers!

In this way, Barcelona's first wave of offensive in the opening stage was defeated by Chelsea's defense!

…………

For Hiddink's tactics, if there is no accident, the general trend of this game is to defend. Unless they fall behind by two goals, what Chelsea need to do unswervingly is to defend, and then defend!

But the general trend is the general trend. In the tactical arrangement, Hiddink has properly arranged a certain amount of offensive tactics for the first ten minutes of the two halves. He also hopes to catch Barcelona by surprise. In case he can steal in the away game A goal!

"Chelsea defended Iniesta's breakthrough in the middle. Ballack just appeared in time, and together with Essien, he grabbed the football at Iniesta's feet!"

"Chelsea's chance to fight back!"

"Malouda gets the ball on the left wing and pushes forward!"

Alves will not give Malouda a chance to easily beat himself in 1v1!

In terms of speed alone, Alves may even be faster. Facing Malouda's full speed forward, Alves, who can also speed up, is faster than Malouda who started faster. To run faster, Alves has surpassed Malouda by one body position, and firmly occupied the inside position, not giving Malouda any space to change direction and break through the restricted area!

This ball, in fact, Malouda passed the ball directly from the bottom, and it may be blocked by Alves who came back to defend. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Malouda suddenly chose a horizontal position in front of the penalty area. An emergency stop, it takes time for Alves to react, but the inertia still brought Alves one step forward than Malouda, although Alves turned around immediately and defended Malouda's inside cut The line, but Malouda is not too greedy, just shake out the space and angle of the pass!

Drogba, who was already in an offside position in the penalty area, did not choose to pass a high ball. Malouda's ball was directly grounded and crossed to the middle, at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

"Malouda's cross pass! Essien followed up, pushed lightly, and distributed the ball to Lampard who had just stepped in nearby!"

For Essien, this ball can also be directly completed with a long shot, but Barcelona's defensive players reacted very quickly. When Malouda passed the ball, there were already 2 Barcelona players who stepped forward to block it. Stay with Essien and block Essien's shot angle. At this time, instead of risking hitting the Barcelona players and not being able to pose an effective threat to the goal, for Essien, it is obviously Lampard's side. More space!

"Lampard kicked a shot, trying to spin the ball into the goal, but in a hurry, Lampard's control of the ball was not perfect, and it flew directly out of the baseline! There was a difference of about ten centimeters. !"

Chelsea's counterattack in the 3rd minute of the game can be regarded as a reminder to Barcelona. It is the counterattack method of this Chelsea team. It is not the big opponent Barcelona faced before. Don't give Chelsea too many opportunities, otherwise Whether Barcelona can win the game is really hard to say!

After the temptations of both sides in the opening game, Chelsea was ready to prepare their defensive formation with peace of mind! After experiencing Chelsea's threatening counterattack just now, the Barcelona players did not dare to come out with all their strength and launch a fierce attack!

All of a sudden, Barcelona's offense began to enter the peaceful stage of constantly passing and transferring the ball!

There is no dangerous attack to launch, but it is constantly holding back Chelsea's defense and consuming Chelsea's defensive attention!

This is also Barcelona's unique pass control style! Always use drowsy pass control to kill the opponent's attention and resolve the opponent's defensive enthusiasm, and then at a certain time, suddenly exert force, use the instantaneous explosive power to break the balance of the game!

It's just that Chelsea's players just stand firmly in their defensive positions, and they don't move when the enemy doesn't move. move!

Facing Chelsea's bus, Barcelona, ​​which is still playing at home, is the first to change. According to Chelsea, the biggest weakness in the lineup, Ivanovic, Barcelona will feed the ball to Henry and let him make a strong breakthrough!

In view of Ivanovic defending Henry, Hiddink can only rely on the adjustment of the midfielder's position to ensure that Henry's side can make a proper pass, but he must not break through directly and enter the penalty area. Inside!

Ballack, who is lagging behind on this side, is ready to come over to defend at any time, assist Ivanovic, and complete the restriction on Henry's breakthrough!

It is the same as the FA Cup final for Cesc Fabregas! In this game, Essien and Mikel's defensive positions are directly advanced! Let's make a biting defense against Harvey and Iniesta!

Ballack and Lampard are in front of the defense line, constantly filling defenses!

"Henry, start a strong attack on Ivanovic after getting the ball again!"

However, this time, Ivanovic was full of confidence because of Ballack's help defense not far behind him, and this time he dared to step forward and take a step to defend!

Relying on direct physical confrontation, Ivanovic completed this defensive matchup!

"Henry didn't find a chance to break through the past and directly chose to pass the ball back to Yaya Toure!"

"Yaya Toure gives the ball to Iniesta!"

"Iniesta took the ball forward and faced Essien in front of him. Instead of continuing to break through, Iniesta directly kicked the ball through and found Xavi who suddenly inserted near the penalty area!"

Iniesta's pass is very penetrating. A through ball on the ground can also perfectly control the trajectory of the pass. It successfully passed through the defensive area of ​​the two Chelsea players and landed accurately. Plug in place at Harvey's feet!

"Xavi turned his back to the goal, turned around and passed the ball directly to Eto'o on the left!"

"Eto'o stopped the ball directly in the chest, turned around on the spot, and hit the goal directly!"

"Cech made a side attack! The ball finally touched the post and flew out of the baseline!"

Harvey is Harvey, the most indispensable person for Barcelona under the light of superstars!

Whether it is a long pass or a short pass, Harvey is always able to choose the most suitable way of passing the ball at the most critical moment!

Especially the connection between Xavi and Iniesta, the two pass masters, can always rely on running positions and simple passes to tear the opponent's defense line directly!

In this attack, in order to ensure the tightness of the defensive formation, the back line has also mentioned the position of the penalty area line in the process of switching attacks!

Faced with Harvey's jumping in, Yang Feng directly connected to complete the defensive task, and stepped up to defend against Harvey! However, Iniesta's pass control is really good, and there is no chance for Yang Feng to steal the ball. Yang Feng can only choose to use the time when Harvey stops the ball, step forward to stick to Harvey, and use his body Confrontation, to ensure that Harvey can not face the goal to make the next move!

It’s just that Harvey chose to pass the ball directly to Eto’o without stopping the ball, which Yang Feng did not expect! What’s even more incredible is that, with such a short-range pass, Harvey chose to pick a half-high ball, which just passed Yang Feng’s subconscious The long legs that stretched out to block Harvey's pass passed directly to Eto'o's chest!

Eto'o, who is also the top shooter in the world, his subsequent movements are even more smooth and coherent. He stops the ball and turns around, and directly hits a long-range shot at the opposite corner. The football goes straight to the lower left corner of the goal, only a little away. , can hit the net!

"This is Harvey!" Yang Feng's heart skipped a beat just now! Harvey's advance was too sudden this time, Chelsea's midfield defense did not keep up at all!

And the area defense on the spot was completely penetrated by Iniesta's pass!

That is to say, Yang Feng made up very fast, which prevented Harvey from directly facing the goal to hit or pass the ball!

But under Yang Feng's almost close defense, Harvey can still calmly stop the ball, pass such a wonderful pass, and consciously raise the ball to avoid Yang Feng's possible interception, which is really beyond Yang Feng's expectations up!

Under Terry's defense, Eto'o, who also didn't have a lot of space, quickly caught the ball, stopped the ball, turned around, and hit the goal. In the instant that Terry had just reacted, Eto'o completed all the technical moves and even shot a very threatening long shot!

Barcelona's offensive methods cannot tolerate the slightest slack in Chelsea's defense!

If Chelsea want to get out of Camp Nou, they need to maintain a better defensive state!

Yang Feng understands that with Barcelona's offensive team in such a good state, this game will be the heaviest test for Chelsea's defense! Chelsea must work hard on the defensive end!
