Football’s First Defender

Yang Feng's outstanding performance made the perfect cooperation between Eto'o and Henry just now, as well as the excellent personal performance of the two, was useless. Although this time's offense was indeed very threatening, if he didn't score a goal, he just didn't goal!

When the game time came to 80 minutes, Guardiola also played his second substitution card!

The teenager Bojan replaced Eto'o, who didn't have much room to play in this game! Bo Yang is more suitable for attacking on the wing, and Henry has returned to the position of the most forward center in this way!

Guardiola hopes to use Bojan's speed and his excellent personal foot skills to try to give Chelsea's wing defense a fatal blow with sufficient physical support!

At this time, Barcelona's offense is to do everything possible to break Chelsea's iron barrel formation at the last moment!

As far as Chelsea's defense is concerned, in the face of Barcelona's back-and-forth switching of various positions in the frontcourt, there are still many ghostly running routes of offensive players. In addition to Mikel and Essien, they are pressing against Iniesta and Harvey. , the defensive interference remains unchanged, it is better to directly defend your own area in other positions, and wait for the Barcelona players to attack by themselves!

When the Barcelona personnel suddenly gathered to launch a strong attack in a certain area, Chelsea's defensive players on the weak side, having learned from the previous lessons, would be faster and return to the center with vigilance, ready to step forward to make up for the leak at any time!

The defensive iron chain of Chelsea's five defenders is firmly nailed near their own big penalty area, and they are ready to be completely locked up. Barcelona hits all the passes near the penalty area and attacks!

The conflict of contradictions, in the regular time of the game, entered the last 10 minutes, and fell into the final fierce confrontation!

"Henry once again chose to retreat to the top of the penalty area to receive the pass!"

There is no way, Henry, a red and black player in the penalty area, is always caught in the yellow ocean!

In fact, in a frontal confrontation, Barcelona nailed the forward position at the forefront. No matter who it is or how strong its offensive ability is, facing Chelsea's encirclement and blocking, there is no room to play at all!

Henry didn't choose to just wait for his teammates to pass the ball. He hoped that he could use his retreat to catch the ball to make the team's pass smoother and organize the ball to a more threatening offensive position!

"After taking the ball from the left, Iniesta made a precise pass and kicked it to Henry who came out to meet him!"

"Henry kicked the ball out, and kicked the ball horizontally to the empty space not far from the left!"

"Iniesta goes straight forward and gets the ball quickly!"

"Facing Ballack who was defending, Iniesta kicked the ball with his back heel and passed it to Messi who followed behind him!"

"Messi made another very penetrating through ball, passed directly into the Chelsea penalty area, and Iniesta crossed the front of the line!"

"Yang Feng's supplementary defense! Knocked down Iniesta directly!"

"Iniesta was directly blocked by Yang Feng, jumped up and fell into the penalty area!"

"The referee just whistled a free kick near the penalty area line on the left, and also gave Yang Feng a yellow card!"

"Iniesta, complaining to the referee that it was a penalty kick, other Barcelona players also gathered around to put pressure on the referee! However, the referee firmly believed that the foul this time was outside the penalty area and was just a free kick. !"

"And judging from the slow motion of the replay, Iniesta was indeed outside the penalty area when Yang Feng fouled, and he didn't take the last step towards the penalty area!"

In the end, Iniesta took the opportunity of a free kick and directly completed a free kick to hit the goal!

Although the arc of Iniesta's ball was extremely wide, it directly hung a perfect arc and rushed to the upper right corner of the goal!

However, the arc is controlled very well, which naturally means that the speed of the ball is lost. Cech's reaction is still very fast. Door!

Bosingwa, who was defending in the penalty area, grabbed Cech's landing point after hitting the ball, and pushed forward directly to counterattack!

However, since Drogba just came back and participated in the defense of set kicks, Malouda is the only one Chelsea is leaning forward at this time!

Bosingwa's forward pass options are very narrow! Barcelona's rear guard full-backs can have clear defensive goals!

In the end, the opportunity to counterattack this time also came to nothing! Bosingwa's long pass was chased back by Alves, who was obviously faster, and directly controlled the ball to reorganize the attack!

Alves directly chooses a long pass to transfer the ball to the left side of his team! Taking advantage of Chelsea's defensive formation, which has not yet fully stood still, directly seek a quick attack!

"Messi! After stopping Alves' long pass, he broke through and dribbled alone!"

Messi's breakthrough is still Barcelona's most threatening personal offensive strength, especially when Chelsea's many defensive players are carrying yellow cards. up!

However, in the entire Chelsea defense line, as many as 3 people immediately surrounded Messi and prepared to complete the steal. Although they could not use the fastest and most convenient foul to block, Chelsea's defense rate was extremely high!

It's just that the frequency of Messi's feet is too fast, and the change of dribbling rhythm is also unique in football. Ballack was the first to grab the ball, and was directly dodged by Messi's sideways pull of the ball. After that, Belletti's The jump was also directly avoided by Messi, but Messi also knew that he could not get through Chelsea's entire defense alone!

When he felt that the ball could not be controlled under his feet, Messi decisively chose a through ball and passed the ball forward!

"Messi's through ball!"

"It's Iniesta again, taking advantage of Messi attracting the attention of most of Chelsea's defensive players just now, he once again made a detour from the left and inserted into Chelsea's penalty area!"

"I have received the ball and have a chance to hit the goal!"

"But Yang Feng's defense was quick! He came directly in front of Iniesta, defending face to face, and has been paying attention to Iniesta's movements, ready to stretch his legs to block the direction of Iniesta's goal!"

There is actually not much time left for Iniesta to attack, because other Chelsea defenders are also quickly returning to defense. For Iniesta, the opportunity only appears in a flash!

As for the defensive Yang Feng, this time the duel with Iniesta only needs to drag the words and wait for his teammates to step forward to block!

Iniesta made a gesture with his right foot to shoot into the far corner, and Yang Feng had to stretch his leg to block it!

Regardless of whether it is a fake move or not, because Iniesta has already penetrated to the left side of the penalty area, in Yang Feng's judgment, even if the ball is a fake move, the angle of Iniesta's shot after turning to the bottom is still smaller !

"Iniesta, the feint of the shot swayed Yang Feng's defense! Directly accelerated to the bottom, Petr Cech defended the near corner position!"

"Yang Feng! After Iniesta took the first step to break through, he slid over and blocked Iniesta's shot angle!"

Out of the corner of Yang Feng's eyes, he had already seen Essien behind him and Terry's defense was almost in place, and now he was not afraid of going out with a sliding shovel, and if Iniesta stopped abruptly and turned back, he would only bump into the rushing man Terry on defense!

And Iniesta himself knows that he doesn't have much time and space to do other complicated moves!

Faced with Yang Feng's sliding shovel, although Iniesta also wanted to create a penalty kick, Yang Feng controlled his body very well. This time, he slid towards the post to block Iniesta. The angle of the tower's goal, instead of going in the direction of Iniesta's ball, does not give Iniesta a chance to foul!

"Iniesta, hit the goal directly!"

There are not many choices. Although Iniesta wanted to try to hit Cech's wicket at the beginning, but Yang Feng's sliding tackle made the ground ball no longer have any chances. Iniesta could only choose to hit a high ball directly to the close corner , I hope that my shot can use speed and strength to break through Cech's ten fingers!

"Cech! Block the ball out of the baseline with both hands!"

Cech's close corner is very firm. Because of the teammates in the penalty area, the speed of returning to the defense is very fast. Cech can safely invest in the defense of Iniesta. Naturally, he did not give Iniesta too much Opportunity!

"Barca's corner!"

In this game, Barcelona actually had a lot of corner kick opportunities, but there were very few opportunities to grab the spot!

In fact, except for the two central defenders, there is a natural gap in the height of the others, which led to most of Barcelona's corner kick opportunities returning to positional battles!

Unable to score goals for a long time, when the game time is almost over, naturally the Barcelona players began to feel a little impatient, this is human nature!

Barcelona's tactics have begun to simplify again! The breakthrough in personal ability is okay, even the Barcelona players are starting to look for the ball to pass directly from the side!

With Alves plugging in on the right, Barcelona's frontcourt players continued to change positions and move around to interfere with Chelsea's defensive formation!

No matter how the position is run, the Chelsea players hold the position, control the passing route of Barcelona, ​​and wait for the Barcelona players to enter the dangerous area, and then just encircle them directly!

But this time it's different!

The ball was still at the feet of Alves on the right, but Messi and Bojan inserted directly into Chelsea's penalty area from the left!

"Alves! A direct pass!"

No one would have thought that Barcelona, ​​who insisted on pass control for the whole game, would actually play a cross from the side in the final stage of the game!

"Messi and Bojan! Go straight to the back of the goal! Chelsea's empty space!"

No way, both Messi and Bo Yang are players with fast speed and low stature!

Chelsea's defense did notice the duo, but there were at least 6 Chelsea defenders on the straight line between Alves and Messi. No one believed that Alves could directly ground the ball to Messi. West's position, as for passing the ball, Bosingwa who defended Alves was really not in his heart!

As a result, Alves really made a direct cross!

"Yang Feng! From the middle position in front of the goal, he stepped back to the ground and took off! He made a header!"

Messi's position is closer to this pass than Bojan, and he has a greater probability of completing the header in front of the goal!

Messi's running position is very good, Messi's acceleration is very good, Messi did run out of space after the point behind the goal without offside, and he is about to receive the football!

But the disadvantage in height must be Messi's biggest weakness! Yang Feng did stagger back and forth, but Messi's interference with Yang Feng was very limited. Messi's take-off point for the header was too low, which was equivalent to giving Yang Feng more time to defend and catch up. Yang Feng only needed to beat Mei Xizao just hit the landing point of the ball a little bit first!

Jumping sideways and leaning back, Yang Feng's head was a little bit higher than Messi's. He touched the football first, and Messi went directly into the air! As for football, Yang Feng was out of the bottom line!

Messi made a lion shaking his head, but he had no choice but to miss the ball...

"Messi's long shot! Fly!"

"Iniesta's long-range shot! Hit the Chelsea defender!"

The 90 minutes will soon pass, and Barcelona began to seek to use long-range shots to directly pose a threat to Chelsea's goal!

However, Chelsea have too many defenders in the penalty area, and there are not many long-range shots. They are all blocked by Chelsea players. Most of them flew directly into the stands!

The score of 0 to 0 seems to be maintained until the end of the halftime!

At this time, an accident happened on the field!

"Barack! Look at the pace is a bit staggering!"

Just now Iniesta's long-range shot was directly blocked by Ballack, and he made a big-footed clearance!

But Barak himself fell to the ground in some pain! There may be a strain!

"The game time has entered stoppage time, Barcelona continue to attack!"

"Iniesta's through ball! Go directly to Hleb who has just been replaced on the left!"

"Hleb! Speed ​​forward, onside!"

Since Ballack half-kneeled in his penalty area due to injury, he became Chelsea's last defender, so Hleb's catch behind Chelsea's defense this time is indeed not offside in legal terms!

"Yang Feng chases back quickly!"

"Barack barely got up, and slowly retreated to the door!"

"Hleb, go straight into the penalty area from the left!"

"It formed a small-angle single-handed opportunity!"

"Just hit the door!"

"Yang Feng! Chasing back desperately! Sliding out with a shovel!"

However, this time, Yang Feng was still too far away from Hleb's position. Even though Yang Feng knew that his work was useless, Yang Feng wanted to use his actions to cause enough psychological pressure on Hleb, even if there was a shooting action. Deformation may give Cech a better chance to save!

"Cech!"

"Cech on the go!"

"Squat down and block Hleb's shot!"

"The young player Hleb did not seize this excellent opportunity!"

The Barcelona players wanted to take a corner kick quickly, while the Chelsea players were complaining to the referee that Ballack was injured just now, but the Barcelona players did not show their sportsmanship, but continued to attack!

There were even players on both sides, starting to quarrel in the midfield position!

At the end of the game, the Chelsea players who had been suppressed for the whole game, and the Barcelona players who had attacked for a whole game but failed to gain anything, were all suffocating in their hearts!

The referee is controlling the emotions of the two sides. Fortunately, the two sides are only verbally arguing, and there is no further irrational action! That's all there is to it!

After Barcelona's corner kick was sent out, after being cleared by Chelsea, stoppage time just ended, and the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

In the Champions League semi-finals, the first leg, Chelsea's guest at the Nou Camp successfully retreated and got a draw!

If there is anything unwilling, it may be that they did not score an away goal!

But back at Stamford Bridge, a week later, the Chelsea players believed that at home, amidst the cheers of the Blues fans, they would definitely be able to knock out Barcelona and go home!
