Football’s First Defender

In a game, when the team that is mainly in charge of defense restricts the opponent's offense to the 30-meter danger zone, it can only use long-range shots to try to score a goal. Should be something to be proud of, having proven his defensive tactics and being in a successful state!

But Chelsea's players, at this time, did not have the slightest sense of joy after the successful defensive tactics. It is really Ronaldo's long-range shot, which is too threatening!

The consecutive three-footed long-range shots have caused enough threats to Chelsea's goal!

Moreover, Ronaldo's shots are all completed under the interference of defenders. For this point of defense, it is impossible. For Ronaldo outside the 30-meter area, he has to double-team defense. Bring huge loopholes to Chelsea's overall defensive system!

But you must not let Ronaldo go free! From the beginning of the game to now, Ronaldo has already completed 6 shots by himself, and they are all threatening attempts. No one can guarantee that with such a terrifying accumulation of shots, Ronaldo will not be in a certain position. In one attack, relying on his own personal ability, he knocked on Chelsea's door!

It's time to test Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink's ability to command on the spot. How to choose between Ronaldo's personal defense and Manchester United's overall defense!

Seeing that Ronaldo almost created another chance to hit the goal under Lampard's defense, fortunately Anelka's defense was very timely this time. This time, Ronaldo's left foot was not allowed to complete the goal. Hiddink knew that, Ronaldo can no longer be allowed to play freely near the midfield like this!

Hiddink whispered to Ashley Cole on his side. After passing the news from the players on the field, Essien finally stood in front of Ronaldo!

You know, Manchester United's offensive end is not just Ronaldo. Rooney, Park Ji-sung, Anderson, Giggs, these players are also top attackers. When these players are fixed on the wing and try to attack, for Chelsea Defensive players are better at defending, but I am afraid that the changes between these Manchester United players, and the interludes of off-ball running, will have a huge impact on Chelsea's defense!

Essien is the last midfielder of Chelsea's three midfielders and the last barrier in front of Yang Feng. When defending, Essien is responsible for sweeping the first lap, and Yang Feng is responsible for defending the fish that escaped the net. Attack and play dangerous coordination!

It's just that he pressed the gourd and picked up the scoop! Manchester United's penetration of Chelsea's dangerous area was completely contained, but with Ronaldo's long-range shots from the outside, Chelsea did not have enough troops to defend!

In the end, Hiddink could only choose to let Barack take Essien's place under the condition that the tactics basically remained the same, and do his best to do a good job in mopping up Yang Feng!

And Essien, who has the best defensive ability in the midfield, was drawn out to make a special defense against Ronaldo!

You know, Essien's defensive ability is definitely the top level in the world. His strong body, excellent defensive awareness, good speed and judgment ability are the nightmare of every offensive player!

And when Ronaldo wanted to catch the ball again, facing Essien who was directly defending, Ronaldo found that it was not so easy to catch the ball in the midfield!

Essien's defensive ability and interception ability also made Manchester United's ball holder dare not pass the ball to Ronaldo easily!

This time Manchester United's offense was finally handed over to Rooney on the left!

Lu Xiaopang is indeed an excellent attacker at this time, and the current Rooney has not "gained weight" as much as before!

However, although the 24-year-old Rooney is also very talented, under the dazzling light of Ronaldo, he still has not received full support from Manchester United's offensive end, and he has not evolved to his peak moment!

Today Rooney can be said to be an excellent attacker and a threatening player on the offensive end of Manchester United, but under the pressure of Chelsea's defense, he still cannot rely on his personal ability to solve the battle!

Rooney managed to get the ball once, and he also knew that this was a rare opportunity for him to perform, so naturally he would not miss the opportunity to slip away!

"Rooney, you're on the left, moving laterally into the middle, wanting to face Chelsea's defense yourself?"

Anelka was chasing after him, and Ballack also defended this side again. Although Rooney's threat was not as terrible as Ronaldo's, as England's main striker, no one would really treat Rooney as an ordinary player!

However, Rooney, who has not had the ball at his feet for a long time, obviously does not have the foot feel like Ronaldo. When Ballack has not fully defended, Rooney also tried to volley directly!

It's just that this kick missed the goal too far. Ballack didn't even have time to make a blocking move, but Rooney directly smothered the ball on Ballack's body!

"It hurts!" This was Barack's first reaction!

But the pain also made Barack sober, and his second reaction was that this was an excellent opportunity to fight back!

The ball hit Ballack's body, but it didn't bounce too far. The ball was still within Ballack's reach. Ballack quickly protected the football!

Chelsea's defense is very tight, which also makes there are not so many Chelsea teammates in front of Ballack!

But there are not many players, and it also strengthens Ballack's determination to pass the ball. Sometimes, on the football field, I am afraid that the players are not decisive!

"Balack made a long pass to the right of the pitch! The space behind Evra!"

"Drogba, run to the spot!"

In the space behind Evra, although Nemanja Vidic defended him, Ballack still chose to believe in Drogba's personal ability!

Drogba is not a striker who relies solely on his body to achieve today's achievements. Physical confrontation ability is indeed the absolute advantage that Drogba is famous for, but his excellent running ability and many practical technical moves are also Drogba. The important reason why Pakistan can achieve its current status in football!

Ballack believes that Drogba can give full play to his best strength in the 1v1 opportunity on the wing!

Ballack's pass was a deep pass. Drogba and Vidic were running towards the landing point with all their strength. While running, their hands were constantly tearing!

Strictly speaking, the actions of the two are suspected of some fouls. They are all for the purpose of competing for a more favorable position. With such actions, the referee finally chose to watch and leave it to the players to decide the winner!

During the running process, Drogba still had the advantage and became the winner of running to the landing point!

Seeing that he couldn't grab the landing point in advance, Vidic simply broke away from the body contact with Drogba and turned to a more inside position, preparing to deal with Drogba's breakthrough attack after unloading the ball!

"Drogba unloaded the football smoothly, didn't slow down, dribbled the ball diagonally, ready to attack Manchester United's penalty area!"

Vidic kept in front of Drogba, preventing Drogba from breaking through easily!

Since Drogba's dominant foot is his right foot, Vidic remained in front of Drogba, always paying attention to defending the space where Drogba hits the goal with his right foot!

As a forward, the 1v1 duel with the opponent's defender has also gone through countless times in his career for Drogba. Drogba has always been protecting the football, keeping the speed at a constant speed, instead of starting at full speed!

After Vidic kept retreating at the same speed, Drogba was waiting for the opportunity!

Seeing that he was about to enter the penalty area, and the other defenders of Manchester United were also about to assist in the defense, Drogba suddenly started to speed up, using his explosive power, and directly forcibly walked to the right!

"Drogba, flick the ball forward to the right and accelerate straight forward!"

Vidic wanted to step forward to steal the ball, but Drogba directly gave him a physical confrontation. Without breaking the football, he could only fight Drogba and enter the penalty area!

But under Vidic's follow-up defense and Van der Sar's defensive block rushing to this side, Drogba's shooting angle is not so wide, and when he makes a shooting action, it is also possible Vidic stretched his legs directly to complete the block!

Drogba and Vidic are both very fast and have already entered the penalty area. At this time, Drogba suddenly smashed the ball and smashed the ball to the left rear, barely touching Vidic!

Afterwards, Drogba even leaned forward, leaning directly on Vidic's body, which not only prevented Vidic's attack after he reacted, but also used Vidic's rebound force to help him barely stabilize figure!

"Drogba! Spike! Hit the goal!"

After completing all the actions in an instant, Drogba directly took advantage of Vidic's blocking and Van der Sar's position was still on the right, and directly hit the goal with his left foot and shot to the left side of the goal!

"Van der Sar sideways attack!"

"This ball! Van der Sar's single palm hit!"

Drogba did use the sudden rhythm change to create a chance to hit the goal, but it may be that he forced a sudden stop at high speed, changed direction, and his body balance was not maintained well. It may also be that Drogba's left foot is not the dominant foot after all, and in the process of physical confrontation, the strength and angle of hitting the goal are not very good!

So this goal, although there is a lot of space in the goal and Drogba's shot is also within the range of the goal frame, it still gave Van der Sar room to save, and Van der Sar, the state of the game, also maintained The ground was very good, the reaction speed was very fast, and he directly used his right hand, stretched out the single palm to the farthest position, and touched the football! Blocked Drogba's kick!

"Ferdinand, who returned to the defense, directly received the ball saved by Van der Sar! Passed the ball to Carrick..."

After receiving the pass from Ferdinand, Carrick also turned around directly and quickly advanced towards Chelsea's defense line, just to seize the opportunity of the offensive and defensive transition!

At this time, Chelsea's players were all devoted to Drogba's counterattack, and several Chelsea players were also pushing forward, ready to respond to Drogba. Chelsea's overall defense was in transition. When it's done, there simply aren't enough players formed!

"Carrick, direct long pass! Find Ronaldo at the front!"

The on-site director was in charge of broadcasting the signal. He was going to replay Drogba's wonderful stop and change of direction just now. When he personally attacked and hit the goal, he found that the live broadcast scene became very dangerous again, so he switched the live broadcast signal back!

"C Ronaldo! Jumped from the right and unloaded the football to the left!"

Yang Feng's position was indeed unable to reach the landing point in the first time and complete the interception of the ball, so he could only choose to retreat and defend to block Ronaldo's next attack!

Ronaldo unloaded the ball directly to the left hand position, making a gesture to break through the middle!

Yang Feng saw that Terry was also coming, so he didn't choose to foul immediately. After all, it is not worthwhile to lose a threatening free kick in such a deep position!

Seeing that Ronaldo's stop ball fell to the left side, Yang Feng chose to go straight forward, not only preparing for a physical confrontation, blocking Ronaldo's acceleration, and giving his teammates time to assist in the defense, but also wanting to try to break the ball directly. In Yang Feng's own judgment, the success rate of stealing the ball is also very high!

Yang Feng thought the timing was good. Ronaldo just jumped up to unload the ball, and the ball was still on Ronaldo's left foot, not Ronaldo's preferred foot!

However, seeing Yang Feng's upswing, Ronaldo used his left foot as a support point after landing, and directly stepped forward with his right foot, swiping the ball to the right with the outside of his foot, avoiding Yang Feng's direct lunge!

"C Ronaldo's change of direction! If you want to avoid Yang Feng, the restricted area on the right is an open area!"

Yang Feng didn't expect that Ronaldo's body control ability, under such circumstances, can still be maintained so well that he can forcefully complete this change of direction in the air!

There was no other way, Yang Feng could only use his strength forcefully, turned his body to the left side, and directly blocked in front of Ronaldo!

"Yang Feng! Blocked directly in front of Ronaldo, collided with Ronaldo, and knocked Ronaldo down!"

"The referee rushed over and directly showed Yang Feng a yellow card! He gave Manchester United a free kick about 2 meters before the penalty area line!"

Yang Feng had to pay for his foul. There was really no other way, because if he was passed, it would definitely be a single-handed opportunity. As for Ronaldo's abnormal physical quality, Yang Feng did not expect that he would be so strong. He still underestimated Ronaldo. Lo!

The slightly dull rhythm of the game, completed two offensive and defensive transitions in a short period of time, posing a huge threat to both sides!

This is the duel between two peak teams. Every attack may be a murderous opportunity, and every offensive and defensive transition, when the opponent's foothold is not stable, is the time when the team's offensive threat is the greatest!
