Football’s First Defender

"Barcelona took the lead in making substitution adjustments in the second half of the game!"

"Marquez, who almost made a big mistake in the defense just now, was replaced by Barcelona captain and iron-blooded central defender Puyol!"

"Just 53 minutes into the game, Guardiola may be dissatisfied with Max's defensive performance, and replaced Puyol, who is more reassuring!"

"But Puyol had some minor injuries before. I don't know if his game state has returned to his best in this game!"

In fact, Puyol's previous injury has almost recovered. The reason why he did not start the game is that Guardiola is worried about continuous combat. Puyol, who has just recovered, cannot persist in physical fitness!

In Guardiola's original plan, in Barcelona's three consecutive important games this week, Puyol only needs to play the national derby with Real Madrid on the weekend to ensure the team's league championship point advantage and the second round of the Champions League. Play, just play away to stabilize the team's defense!

However, Max's low-level mistake just now and his slightly "cowardly" game attitude when facing Drogba forced Guardiola to make changes in the defense line, allowing Puyol to play, giving the team Infuse a bloody temperament into the defense, so that when Barcelona launches an onslaught according to tactics, don't be held back by the defense!

However, even though Barcelona has just replaced Puyol, Chelsea's offensive momentum has not been interrupted!

In the limited offensive time, the Chelsea players desperately hoped to score a goal on the offensive end!

After all, facing a team like Barcelona, ​​Chelsea knows that even if their team's offense is better than before, compared with Barcelona's rich changes on the offensive end, Chelsea's offensive routine is still a bit monotonous!

This also makes it easy for Barcelona to figure out several of their tactics if Chelsea attack for a long time, and launch a targeted counterattack!

Moreover, if there is too much space on the defensive line, it is very likely that several world-class strikers in Barcelona will seize the opportunity and use their personal abilities to cause serious damage to Chelsea's defense!

So, come up with three tricks, throw out effective offensive tactics, see if you can score goals, and then honestly pretend to be grandson in the away game, just fine!

"Malouda! Accelerate the breakthrough directly on the left side! Strong rush!"

After receiving the pass from Lampard's successful defense, Malouda was on the left, taking advantage of the fact that Barcelona's defensive formation was not fully settled, and got a 1v1 opportunity with Barcelona's right back Alves!

Not too many fancy moves! Malouda fully knows where his own advantages lie!

From a nearly static state to suddenly accelerating with all his strength, Malouda made full use of his body's explosive power!

First kicked the ball to the front right and behind Alves, then Malouda used his explosive power to come directly to Alves' side, and then directly took the initiative to fight with his body!

Alves' speed and flexibility are definitely far superior to Malouda's, but when Malouda suddenly approached him and confronted him directly, Alves was completely at a disadvantage!

Alves, under Malouda's physical confrontation, can't get rid of Malouda at all, add speed!

I can only let Malouda rely on himself and chase football!

"Alves! Foul! In the process of following Malouda from the side and rear, he directly hugged him with both hands, which affected Malouda's balance and knocked Malouda to the ground!"

"A free kick from the left! The referee ran over and showed Alves a yellow card!"

Alves, in fact, wanted to speed up from the outside, come back to catch up with the football, and complete the defense!

But after Malouda seized the opportunity of physical confrontation, his arm was always within the reasonable confrontation range, blocking Alves' path to the outside!

Moreover, the distance to catch up with the ball is not long, and there is not enough time for Alves to bypass Malouda. Even if Chelsea are given the opportunity to set the ball in this area, it will test the team's defensive ability of the set ball, but It is also much less threatening than being directly crossed by Malouda!

When Alves was chasing and defending, he had already noticed that Chelsea's Lampard, Drogba, and Ballack had all inserted into their penalty area, ready to grab points! As for Barcelona's own defensive players, due to the previous attack, several people did not return to the defense at this time, resulting in not enough Barcelona defensive players to cover the entire penalty area!

Then fouling and stopping the game is the most appropriate way to defend!

"Malouda and Lampard are standing in front of the free kick. The two sides may still be discussing whether the ball can go directly to the goal!"

"Malouda made a sudden pass!"

"Balack, who was in front of the goal, shook his head and hit the goal! The top is wide! The ball flew out of the baseline!"

Malouda's pass used a very sudden and light pick pass!

In the case of no run-up, pass the ball diagonally to the goal! In the penalty area, although there are many Barcelona players, because Malouda's pass was too sudden, they didn't react for a while. Although Drogba was closely watched by two Barcelona players, Barcelona Luck took advantage of his staring blank space, and took the lead in running to complete the header!

It's just a pity that Ballack's header control ability is not strong, and he didn't cause a goal!

After Chelsea's continuous attack and counterattack, although they created several good opportunities, it is a pity that their luck was always a little bit worse and they failed to score!

Although it seemed that Chelsea were just a little short of scoring a goal, seeing that the game time was approaching 60 minutes, the Chelsea players suppressed their inner impulse and prepared to defend with all their strength!

Although Chelsea's offense was more threatening before, but several counterattack opportunities, all of them used physical confrontation to complete the defense to get the ball conversion opportunity!

But some unbroken balls almost all used foul tactics to stop Barcelona's offense. Mikel and Terry both received yellow cards for this!

After that, Chelsea will continue their own iron bucket formation, leaving the front to Drogba alone, and relying on personal ability to see if they can achieve anything!

And Barcelona, ​​faced with all the members retreating to their own half, even Drogba stood near the midfield, participating in the defense of Chelsea's defensive formation, is also very helpless, so they can only find some other ways to see if they can do it. Work wonders!

The two biggest starting points for Barcelona to organize passes, Xavi and Iniesta are both restricted by Chelsea's two iron waists, and the overall space in Chelsea's half is still extremely limited. Way to attack!

"Pique has the ball in midfield!"

The biggest good news about Chelsea's full retreat is that Barcelona's defense line no longer has to face the same defensive pressure as before. Pique held the ball near the center circle. Even Drogba ignored it and just held it firmly. Pique passes the ball to Harvey on the line!

"Pirque made a long pass directly into Chelsea's penalty area!"

"Henry! Start quickly and insert diagonally into Chelsea's penalty area!"

"Bosingwa! He stuck to the defense tightly, but was still resisted by Henry using his physical advantage! Henry gained enough space by relying on his personal ability!"

"Yang Feng! Come from the other side!"

"Put the shovel directly!"

"When Henry unloaded the pass and was about to hit the goal, he suddenly broke out and shoveled the ball out of the baseline. Yang Feng's excellent defense!"

After the offense encountered Chelsea's tenacious defense, Barcelona's frontcourt players were also constantly changing positions, trying different offensive tactics!

Henry just came to the right and switched positions with Messi, when he met Pique's wonderful long pass!

Pique, who returned to La Liga from Manchester United, was deeply influenced by the two pass masters around him. Although he could not guarantee the high success rate of his long pass like Harvey and Iniesta, he still tried long pass once in a while. Can receive good effect!

This ball, without enough defensive pressure, Pique's long pass accurately passed into the penalty area, the middle position between Chelsea's defense and goalkeeper Petr Cech!

And Henry, who just came to the right, also slanted from right to left to the landing position of the pass. During the running process, Henry directly used his dexterity and had a good confrontation ability, which almost did not affect the speed. Under such circumstances, he used his body to block Bosingwa's return defense route. Since Henry had already stepped into the penalty area, Bosingwa did not dare to make too much body pushing, so Henry leaned directly behind him, only Can form appropriate defensive interference!

But as the world's top striker, some defensive interference is not enough to affect Henry's offensive performance. He jumped up and stopped the ball, only to hit the goal after landing!

It's just that during the free time of stopping the ball, Yang Feng has already rushed back to the defensive position!

When Pique passed the ball, Yang Feng was already retreating quickly! I just hope to catch up with this point!

However, Yang Feng was a little far away from the passing point. Yang Feng already judged that he would not be able to catch up with the first landing point, and Henry's diagonal insertion from the right side was much closer than himself. Yang Feng ran and died at the same time. Stare at Henry's movements to decide how to complete the defense!

Fortunately, Henry didn't make many choices between flashes and flints. He just made the most comfortable mid-air stop and hit the goal!

Henry only noticed Ashley Cole beside him and didn't think about anything else, which gave Yang Feng a chance!

Looking at the trajectory of Henry stopping the ball forward due to inertia, Yang Feng just slid over and blocked the ball between Henry and the ball, and directly shoveled the ball out of bounds!

Henry also didn't expect that there would be a defensive player behind the left and shovel away the football! He couldn't stop his foot in time, and kicked Yang Feng's body!

Regardless of the pain, at least Yang Feng defended the ball!
