Football’s First Defender

Chelsea won the final victory again in the strong dialogue, laying a good foundation for the team to compete for the Premier League title.

Although the league has only played 12 rounds, Liverpool, one of the four giants, is now 10 points behind in the standings and has almost withdrawn from the championship. Manchester United and Arsenal have the same points and will compete with Chelsea in the following schedule. , continue to fight to the death.

And Chelsea, after a round of matches, will usher in a head-to-head confrontation with Arsenal.

After the game against Manchester United, it was the national team's match day again. Frequent national team matches put a greater physical load on the Chelsea players and put extra work pressure on the coaches. Insufficient, the lineup of each team has been run-in, which has been greatly affected this season.

However, taking advantage of this short period of rest, Yang Feng, who has no national team game tasks, began to practice long passes in addition to daily training.

Yang Feng also specially invited two coaches in charge of long pass from Chelsea's youth training echelon, just to improve his long pass level.

Passing training is very boring. In fact, the essentials of the movements are not very complicated. Under the correction of two coaches, Yang Feng standardized the long passing movements he was accustomed to before. After the method, you only need to carry out persistent training afterwards.

For the long pass, if you really want to hit where you want, there is no other way than to keep in touch and increase your long pass experience.

Only with more experience can we ensure that we have a sufficient amount of accumulation, kick out the ball, integrate the ball with ourselves, and be able to fully cope with the interference of other environmental conditions and pass the ball to the extreme.

After all, he is not a midfield commanding player who points and passes the ball to eat. Yang Feng's main task now is to have a good ability to control the ball in the backcourt. Not to mention passing the ball accurately, as long as he can achieve the ball, Just send it to the area you want to send it to.

On the training ground of Chelsea's first team, after daily training, Yang Feng would always stay on the court for additional training, focusing on training his passing.

The national team match day is over and the league restarts.

In order to take care of a group of players who are tired in the national team game, and also to take care of the emotions of some powerful players on the bench, Ancelotti has carried out a large-scale rotation in the league.

Even Yang Feng, who has no national team game assignments, continues to get time to rest.

After all, Carvalho and Alex can be regarded as central defenders with a certain reputation in Europe. In the new season, the two have been pressed on the bench by Terry and Yang Feng. Their agents have also put pressure on the team. , seek playing time, or seek the possibility of transferring and leaving in the winter window.

After all, the defensive strength of these two people is there. They were also Chelsea's main central defenders before, and they have the opportunity to play in other five major league teams, even giants.

However, as Chelsea, who are aiming to defend the Champions League this season, frantically reserve players in order to make their team's lineup thicker enough to prevent some unexpected injuries. With enough good substitute players, you can try your best not to affect the team's combat effectiveness.

In addition to the two backup central defenders, Belletti, who rarely had a chance to play, also replaced Ivanovic in this game and became the team's starting right back.

In the midfield, Joe Cole got the opportunity to start this game, and Essien, Mikel, Malouda formed a new four midfield configuration.

On the forward line, Drogba started the game, but his partner was replaced by Kalu, who has been diligently on the bench.

However, Chelsea, which has changed half of the team, was at home, relying on the hard power of the players, to beat the visiting Wolves 4-0.

Joe Cole and Kalu each scored a goal, and Didier Drogba scored twice. The Wolves' defensive line, which was already terrible in the Premier League, was completely sieved in this game.

In the UEFA Champions League match in midweek, Chelsea, who won the break, challenged Porto away. At the Dragon Stadium, Chelsea relied on Terry's header to score 1-0 and took all three points. One round ahead Locked in the first place in the group.

Back in the league, Chelsea's opponent is the third-ranked Gunners Arsenal.

In the last round, Arsenal lost to the black cat Sunderland in an upset, and the gap with Chelsea has been opened to 5 points.

This time at the Emirates Stadium, if Arsenal want to continue to hit the Premier League title this season, then this game absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Selling people is cool for a while, and the Arsenal team that has been selling people and the boss has always been cool. At this time, the team's lineup, although there are no superstars, but the players are almost all capable players. The key is that they are all in their prime. And the salary Cheap.

It's just that, facing Chelsea, whose lineup has been upgrading and strengthening, Arsenal's lineup, which can barely keep the top four positions in the league, is still not tough enough.

Even in this London derby, Chelsea, who played with all the main players, still did not lose the wind.

Although Arsenal sent out a 451 formation, focusing on strengthening the team's defense in the middle, Chelsea's offense, although not too penetrating, and not as smooth as Arsenal's quicksilver, was extremely solid and had few opportunities. There are many, but the two ace shooters on the forward line can seize the opportunity.

In this game, Chelsea's side is still the regular main defense line because Bosingwa still needs to continue to recuperate.

In terms of midfield, after all, he was at the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal as a guest, so Ancelotti was actually quite conservative at the beginning, sending out a double defensive midfielder combination of Essien and Mikel.

The other two offensive players in the four midfielders are Lampard and Joe Cole, who has been trusted by Ancelotti after returning from injury.

The double striker is still a combination of Drogba and Anelka. Under the special care of the defensive coach, Anelka can not only play his role on the offensive end, but also can barely play on the right side when defending. Make your own contribution.

In the opening stage of the game, Arsenal at home played quite impressively. The configuration of five midfielders allowed Arsenal to cooperate more smoothly in the middle. Arsenal also occupied the offensive dominance on the field, using pass control to find With the opportunity.

However, in the face of Chelsea's tight defense, Arsenal's single arrow, Eduardo da Silva, simply cannot make an effective offensive threat to the Chelsea defense composed of Yang Feng and Terry.

As a result, Arsenal's midfielder, even if Nasri and Arshavin on the two wings have good several-man abilities, they can also complete the inside cut and hit the goal from the wing.

But first, it is not easy to break through the defender in front of him, and second, when he finally has the opportunity to cut inside, Yang Feng will directly find the right time to complete the defense.

In the first half, Yang Feng also had a head-to-head confrontation with Arshavin, the former big brother of the Zenit team. Yang Feng, who came to defend him, killed from a diagonal stab at the moment Arshavin dribbled the ball and changed direction. Out, with a clean tackle, completed the destruction of the ball.

In fact, when he was in Zenit, Yang Feng was too familiar with Arshavin's sidewalk moves. Even in his second season in the Premier League, Yang Feng was still able to make Arshavin's classic moves. The most appropriate defensive action.

Arsenal's offense actually relies on Arshavin and Nasri on the two wings. Alexander Song basically defends full-time, while Denilson and Fabregas are both in the midfield and can be dispatched. The possession of the ball, sorting out the presence of offense.

However, when the striker's threat is not so great, Arsenal use two passers to find two points on the wing. The lineup is really uncoordinated.

However, Wenger is now a clever woman who can't cook without rice. Adebayor transferred to Manchester City. Although he gave Arsenal a large amount of money in his account, it was a huge loss to the team's strength.

Fafa and Denilson are still not good at breaking through and posing a threat, so in the game, when Chelsea's defense started to pinch Arsenal's two sides, Arsenal's offense, although they have the possession of the ball, but But it can't threaten Chelsea's hinterland.

Even the space for long-range shots from the outside is actually not much. In the away game, Chelsea first used defense to put huge pressure on the home team Arsenal.

In fact, the game was very dull. Chelsea relied on counterattacks to try to threaten Arsenal's gate.

And when Arsenal handed over the ball several times, in fact Chelsea didn't have too many ways to attack the position. Joe Cole still needs to find a good game state, and Lampard organizes the attack alone, but it is more difficult. Easily marked by opponents.

Chelsea's offense, most of the time, still needs two full-backs to plug in to find a breakthrough on the wing.

Throughout the first half, the effective offenses of the two sides were actually not many, and the number of shots was very small. The two teams had only one shot on goal, and it was a very long-range shot.

Just when many fans believed that the first half would end in this kind of stagnation, at the last moment of the half-time game, the situation of the game changed suddenly.

At 40 minutes into the game, the two sides were pressing in midfield. Denilson passed the ball to Nasri on the left, which was directly seen by Ivanovic. Taking advantage of Nasri waiting for the ball, Ivanovic Wan went straight up and successfully intercepted Denilson's pass, and Chelsea launched a counterattack directly.

Although Drogba's speed is not fast, but he is heavy and bulky but beats the Belgian teenager Vermaelen who is defending him. Vermaelen was directly overwhelmed by "Warcraft" in defense.

After Ivanovic's long pass was blocked by Drogba, under almost negligible defensive pressure from Vermaelen, he completed the turn and crushed the ball.

Vermaelen tried to steal the ball, but found that he couldn't touch the ball at Drogba's feet. Although this action, suspected of fouling, hindered Drogba, but because Drogba had already passed, the spirit of The principle of favorable offense, the referee did not blow the whistle, and Drogba did not miss this excellent opportunity.

Before the goalkeeper's attack was completed, Drogba shot directly at the goal. The ball roared out and went straight to the dead corner. At the end of the first half, Chelsea took the lead in the away game.

The entire Arsenal team is a bit depressed. After all, after Chelsea takes the lead, there is a high probability that they will directly conduct a more retracted defense. It's not worth it.

Regarding Chelsea's defense, in the previous leagues, whether it was Liverpool or Manchester United, it was difficult to have a chance to break through the iron-blooded defense line composed of Chelsea players who devoted themselves to the defensive end.

However, although the half-time game is coming to an end, some Arsenal players are still immersed in the previous conceded goals, but some people are still chasing performance opportunities. In the 2-minute stoppage time of the first half, Chelsea started again. Very threatening attack.

This time, Ivanovic, who broke through on the right, chose to accelerate directly on the right, made a pass from the bottom, and sent a half-high ball with extremely fast speed.

In the penalty area, Drogba switched positions with Anelka before, and found Vermaelen to match up. Facing Drogba's grabbing point, Vermaelen chose to stretch his legs to reach when he was completely at a disadvantage in physical confrontation. The ball is cleared.

However, the fierce body collision with Drogba made Vermaelen's leg movement somewhat deformed, and the deformed movement, in front of the goal, faced such a fast pass, and directly put a big pot on Vermaelen's back. Mullen's body.

Vermaelen scored an own goal in front of the goal, allowing Chelsea to score two goals at the end of the first half and gain a 2-0 lead.

Although Professor Wenger made some offensive arrangements in the midfield, he wanted to be able to pull back the score at home.

However, Chelsea's defense in the second half still maintained a very high level. Arsenal's several sets of offensive tactics have nothing to do with Chelsea's defense.

As the game time passed, the hearts of the Arsenal players were somewhat lost by Chelsea's defense. In the second half, Arsenal's offense did not improve. Although the ball possession rate exceeded 60%, they created a goal. In terms of chances, Arsenal and Chelsea are almost the same. Both teams have about ten chances to hit the goal, and there are very few shots within the range of the goal frame, but Chelsea has two goals.

In the final stage of the game, after replacing two offensive players, Arsenal launched a desperate attack, but still failed to break through Chelsea's defense. Not to mention, Arsenal's rear air defense was once again caught by Chelsea. During the counterattack, Ba scored twice and expanded the score to 3-0, completely sealing the victory.

Chelsea, which won this game, continues to occupy the top position in the standings. Since Manchester United also won this round, after Chelsea defeated Arsenal, Arsenal, who have lost two consecutive games, also opened up the points gap with Chelsea to 8 points , 6 points behind Manchester United, it can be said that this season's Premier League is destined to be Chelsea and Manchester United competing for the final championship.

In the civil war among the four giants of the Premier League, Chelsea powerfully completed three kills, proving themselves with their record and their strong strength this season.
