Football’s First Defender

Still the same corner chance this side! This time, Carrick may have taken into account that Ronaldo and Yang Feng fell to the ground at the same time just now, and was worried about Ronaldo's game state!

For this corner kick opportunity, Carrick does not plan to find another opportunity like Ronaldo's!

Before serving, Carrick changed his corner kick tactics this time, pointing at the sky with both hands at the same time, reminding Manchester United teammates to use different tactics this time, also to find different points of contention!

Looking forward to other Manchester United players having the opportunity to stand up and contribute to the team!

"Carrick! After a long approach, the corner kick!"

"A big arc! This ball is going directly to the back point!"

This time, Carrick chose to find the back position, and the passed ball drew a huge arc in the air. Although the corner kick was not fast, Carrick thought that the power, direction, and landing of the ball Excellent point control!

"O'Shea! Before the corner kick was sent out this time, I had been ambushing at the back of Chelsea's penalty area, waiting for an opportunity!"

In Chelsea's tactical arrangement of defending Manchester United's set-pieces, Drogba will retreat to Chelsea's penalty area at this time, enter the defensive position, and be responsible for man-marking Manchester United's Ferdinand, who also has excellent header ability and is tall and strong. , while Terry is responsible for defending another Manchester United central defender Vidic, and Yang Feng has been following Ronaldo to limit his offensive performance!

As for O'Shea who suddenly stepped in, facing O'Shea's height and weight, Chelsea only has Ballack alone, and it may be said that they can carry out corresponding defensive matchups!

However, when the two sides stand in a good position, although Ballack's body has proved to be strong enough among midfielders, he still suffers a bit if he wants to resist O'Shea, who is capable of playing the central defender position!

This is the gap in physical confrontation ability brought about by the difference in position!

Carrick's corner pass this time was extremely precise, and it flew to the position where O'Shea was ambush at the back point, so that O'Shea could use his disadvantages and try to catch the ball without having to be in motion!

When O'Shea stays on the spot and jumps up to compete for it, the defensive interference that Ballack can do is really limited!

"O'Shea! Jumped on the spot and directly fought for the landing point of this corner kick!"

Ballack was at an absolute disadvantage under the pull of his arm against O'Shea's body, and couldn't take off completely, and even if he had enough take-off height, Ballack, who was not tall enough, might not be able to reach this drop. point!

"O'Shea didn't choose to hit the goal, but headed the ball into Chelsea's small penalty area! Acted as a passer!"

Chelsea's defensive strength at the back of the penalty area is indeed insufficient, but it is also true that the angle of the direct shot at the back point is too small, so O'Shea saw Cech's position when he could complete a direct header. Already close to the goal on this side, instead of blindly trying to hit the goal with a direct header that doesn't make much sense, he chose a pass that can cause a greater threat in the penalty area!

O'Shea believes that passing the ball into the penalty area will pose a huge threat to Chelsea's defense!

O'Shea directly passed the ball into the small penalty area. At this time, there were 3 Manchester United players in Chelsea's small penalty area, including Ferdinand, Vidic, and Rooney who just came in from the right. !

Under O'Shea's header pass at such a close distance, no matter who the Manchester United players can react first, and touch the football with their head or feet first, it is very likely to complete a very threatening goal!

There is indeed no problem with O'Shea's idea. The goal is so wide when viewed from within the small penalty area. Cech alone cannot implement complete coverage. In such a close-range situation, if Manchester United's players can complete the goal. The door must be able to pose a huge threat!

"Ferdinand! Lean back against Drogba and force a second jump!"

"Header!"

In the end, O'Shea's second pass with the header still flew to the area where Ferdinand was. Ferdinand did not hesitate at all, and took off directly for the second time. hit the door!

Not to mention, when Ferdinand passed the ball from O'Shea, he made all his preparations in an instant. He also used his height and arm length. After the corner kick was sent, Drogba judged that the corner kick would not appear in his defense zone. And under the situation where vigilance was obviously relaxed, when O'Shea completed the pass, Ferdinand instantly occupied an excellent position, opened his arms, expanded his area, and firmly pressed Drogba behind him!

This time, Drogba paid a huge price for his carelessness. With almost no interference from defensive players, Ferdinand jumped slightly backwards, reached the pass, and completed an excellent pass in the small penalty area. Header!

"Cech!"

"God-level reaction!"

"Cech saves Chelsea again!"

Do you know what is the conservation of character? People's luck is limited. After you have experienced bad luck, as long as you can persevere, good luck will come sooner or later!

In the second leg of the quarter-final against Liverpool, Petr Cech, the world-class goalkeeper, was conceded 4 goals by Liverpool in a single game, four times in a game from the net behind himself Fishing out the football, Cech didn't know what evil he had that day, and he was really out of shape!

In the UEFA Champions League semi-final match against Barcelona, ​​although Chelsea and the team's overall defense did extremely well, Cech thought he hadn't played at his best. Cech has made several saves, but fortunately, his teammates made a timely clearance to prevent Chelsea from being scored!

But today, Cech feels that he is different. He is in a hot state, no matter how he saves the ball, and the goddess of luck is also on Cech's side today, not on Chelsea's side!

Facing Ferdinand's goal, Cech directly decided to choose a blind throw at such a close distance. Before Ferdinand's header was completed, Cech's legs were already bent, accumulating strength, and ready to fly into the air!

After the charge was completed, Cech jumped directly to the right side with full force.

The direction of the take-off was completely determined by Cech's instant thinking, based on Ferdinand's backward take-off method, his position in the air, and Ferdinand's height and weight. It is doomed that his flexibility is not so good and he will not easily change himself The initial shot decision!

Facts have proved that Petr Cech took the lead and chose the blind pounce at the last moment to make the right bet!

Ferdinand's header this time, in the case of Drogba's interference is extremely limited, although Ferdinand's take-off is a bit reluctant, but the quality of the header is indeed extremely high!

This time with a header, Ferdinand pushed the ball out of a small parabola, and the football was forced to fly directly to the upper left corner of the goal!

Fortunately, Cech vacated ahead of time. Cech had enough time to slide in the air and enough space to stretch his body. Between the lightning and the flint, when the ball began to fall towards the goal, Cech stretched out his right palm. Just blocked the football and dialed the ball straight out!

"Cech made a successful save, and O'Shea wanted to step forward to make a follow-up shot, but Ballack was the first to reflect it, and directly cleared the siege and went out of the touchline!"

O'Shea's reaction was not unpleasant, but his tall body also limited O'Shea's flexibility. Ballack's reaction speed and physical mobility were significantly faster. Hook the ball, clear the ball out of the penalty area first, and end Manchester United's dangerous offensive this time!
