Football’s First Defender

Inter Milan actually has a lot of small offensive tactics, but almost all of them are based on the individual abilities of the players.

As far as the overall offensive tactics are concerned, Mourinho is unable to carry out too large and complicated offensive training for the existing group of players.

However, the personal performance of the stars who always come out of the blue is enough for Inter Milan's own offensive supplement in most cases.

The key point is that although this kind of player's personal performance cannot rely on personal strength to penetrate the defensive line of the defensive team, relying on a sudden flash of light, he can dismantle the opponent's stable defense line, or take advantage of the player's personal changes. Create chances in single point positions.

When Chelsea was attacking Inter Milan, they began to press in the midfield, putting pressure on Inter Milan's midfielders to play the ball.

As for the backcourt point of the Inter Milan players, under the defense of Chelsea, it is impossible to go out to find Mota or Sneijder in the frontcourt, and Lucio dare not play with fire by himself at this time.

Although Lucio, as a central defender, is also his own characteristic, but in this game, Mourinho clearly prohibited Lucio's forward penetration in sports warfare before the game. If I kick myself high, then Yimu Bird's character may be affected in future games.

Lucio crosses the ball directly to Zanetti on the left touchline.

However, Anelka's gamble-style forward grab was still a step too late. He didn't grab the ball, and the ball still passed to Zanetti's feet.

The point where Zanetti wanted to find the ball was focused on by Chelsea's defenders. At the critical moment, in order to prevent Ballack and Anelka from the side to complete the encirclement of himself on the side.

Zanetti first made a fake move to drive the ball forward along the left side, and at the moment of grabbing Ballack, he directly moved the ball horizontally, completed a change of direction, and advanced to the center.

Although Barak gave Zanetti a body collision during this process, it only caused Zanetti to stagger slightly, but did not completely lose his center of gravity.

Instead, it was Ballack himself, because of the inertia brought about by the previous rushing action, he was unable to turn around and chase back for a while, leaving Zanetti in an unguarded state.

Facing Zanetti, who was heading towards the middle, Lampard immediately defended him. Ballack on Zanetti's rear left and Anelka on the right rear, the encirclement formed by the three may only be It takes a second to complete the encirclement, but Zanetti made a choice very quickly. When Lampard's upper grab was not in place, Zanetti directly passed the ball under his feet and crossed it directly. Passed to Milito who retreated to meet him.

There was a tacit understanding between the fellow Argentines. After receiving the ball, Milito did not rush to attack. He directly kicked the ball and hit the ball back in front of Zanetti.

A very precise through ball, the ball passed through the control area of ​​​​the Chelsea defenders and rolled to the left side of the penalty area, in front of Zanetti running.

It's just that the tacit cooperation between the two Argentine players was indeed wonderful, and it almost penetrated Chelsea's defense, but in front of Zanetti's running position, at this time, it was Yang Feng who had replaced him.

Although Milito's advance is sufficient and the ball speed is not slow, Yang Feng can't directly intercept the pass even if he judges the passing route. I don't think he will be able to beat Zanetti in terms of speed.

So Yang Feng chose the third way.

I directly stepped forward and blocked Zanetti's advancing route. When the two were running towards the ball, a very normal body collision was struck by Yang Feng, a central defender. Zanetti's The speed has dropped significantly.

On the other hand, Ivan on the wing sprinted with all his strength, caught up with the pass from Milito, controlled the ball, and directly prepared to counterattack.

However, Zanetti, who was accelerating again, jumped forward directly. Ivan's pass was directly blocked by Zanetti with his body out of the boundary, preventing Chelsea from a chance to counterattack.

Ancelotti on the sidelines has been staring at everything that happened on the field. In the away game behind Inter Milan, a tough division that is good at defense, Ancelotti knows that if he fails to score in a short period of time, Then your own team must not be in a hurry in the following games, otherwise there may be a high probability that Inter Milan will catch the opportunity and complete the counterattack.

In the two rounds of the game, one goal behind is not considered an irrecoverable disadvantage. It is good to score an away goal, but it is not possible. The disadvantage of one goal, returning to Stamford Bridge, will still be occupied by Chelsea. With absolute advantage.

On the field of play, Chelsea made a long pass from Ivan in the backcourt, looking for Lampard in the middle of the frontcourt, and the corresponding defender was Inter Milan midfielder Stankovic. In this ball, Lampard Having already established his position, when he was about to fight for the header, Stankovic, who was behind him, raised his leg directly to the side to touch the ball, but directly touched Lampard's face, and Lampard was injured and fell down. land.

The referee came over and showed a yellow card without hesitation. Stankovic raised his foot too high this time and made an injury, which is indeed not wronged.

The live broadcast camera found Lampard, who had just scratched his face with the tip of Stankovic's shoe. There was bleeding, and the team doctor was rushing to treat him.

On the sidelines, Mourinho and Ancelotti took advantage of this rare "pause" time to call in a few core players and make further tactical arrangements.

It was still Chelsea's possession to build up the attack from the back.

At their home court, Inter Milan did not choose to blindly retreat to the half court and rely on a solid defense to fight Chelsea's counterattack, but continued to exert pressure in the midfield.

Perhaps when there is little suspense about the Serie A championship, Mourinho has spent his time studying Chelsea's tough battles this season.

But today is different from the past. In the Premier League, when the giants pressed Chelsea on a large scale in the midfield, due to the poor ability of Chelsea's central defender to deliver the ball, they did appear to be somewhat passive.

But now, after half a season of hard training, although Yang Feng is still unable to pass the ball with extreme control like those midfield masters, but without defensive interference, Yang Feng's ability to pass the ball has definitely improved by leaps and bounds. At least the skill of passing the ball under his feet can finally keep up with what Yang Feng thought in his head. Although it is impossible to achieve precise guidance, it is still easy to pass a general area.

Inter Milan exerted a lot of pressure on Chelsea's central players and the ball from the side. Ballack was basically intercepted in the forward pass. He also received Stankovic's defensive interference and chose to return. Pass the ball to the rear.

It was Yang Feng who caught the ball in the middle.

Step on the football directly with the soles of your feet, and then gently push forward, one step away from the run-up. Before Eto'o rushed up, Yang Feng had already completed all the technical moves, and made a long pass to the left side of the team. Lateral offensive line.

Kalu happened to start suddenly, and inserted into Inter Milan's defense.

Yang Feng's long pass was very penetrating, and it landed directly on the vast area of ​​Inter Milan's defense line, a direct confrontation between Kalou and Maicon.

Maicon's physical resistance and speed are fully displayed at this moment. After all, he is known as the world's number one right back, even if there is a factor of praise, but today Maicon is definitely ranked among the top three right backs.

Even though Kalu took the initiative to start, in the end, he was caught up by Maicon and was directly stuck in the position. Even if Kalou stopped the football, he lost the space for further actions.

Under Maicon's defense, Kalou, who could not continue to attack, could only take the ball around and reorganize the attack.

And taking advantage of the chance that Inter Milan's defense line was slightly confused because of Yang Feng's kick, Anelka also sneaked from the right to the left according to the instruction from coach Ancelotti to increase the attack range , to meet Kalu.

Seeing that a teammate finally came to respond, Kalu also passed the ball immediately.

Anelka's large-scale move to the left to receive the ball, Inter Milan's left back Zanetti naturally can only continue to be in charge of his own defense area, handing Anelka to the midfielder or central defender to help defend.

Cambiasso "Commander Can" is responsible for man-marking Anelka.

But Anelka didn't make too many fancy moves. After Drogba slammed into Inter Milan's central defense and drove away certain defenders, Anelka had only Cambiasso in front of him in an instant.

Taking advantage of his height and long legs, Anelka completely supported Cambiasso and completed a horizontal pass outside the penalty area, taking one more step to bring out the space, and directly volleyed from the outside.

Anelka hit the goal with a kick and a half high ball, which flew straight to the left side of the near corner of the goal, but Cesar's attention was extremely concentrated, which is also because Anelka took too long to adjust the angle to shake, so it was too late. After giving Cesar enough time to prepare, Cesar blocked the kick with both hands and hit the goal. Although there was a small drop, with the downward force of both hands, the ball was directly within Cesar's control. Take it directly. Goal kick for Inter Milan!

…………

In the first half of the game, the two sides made several consecutive offensive and defensive transitions. After the fast-paced offensive breakthrough, in the middle of the first half, the two teams began to strangle in the middle.

Although the lagging Chelsea is still the more active side, but under Inter Milan's strict defense, there are not many offensive opportunities. Instead, Inter Milan began to carry out several threatening defensive counterattacks.

After a successful defense, Cesar's goal kick went directly to Chelsea's half. Although Eto'o was small, he stood still and leaned against Ballack to grab the first spot and gave the ball to the left follower. on Ned.

Sneijder saw the opportunity, and went straight to the left side of Chelsea's penalty area, in front of Milito's running direction without the ball.

For Milito, who uses his running position and solid basic skills to play football with an excellent offensive rhythm, since he scored a goal before, Yang Feng has taken over the defensive responsibility of defending Milito, while Terry Is responsible for the defense of Eto'o and appropriate forward fill.

Yang Feng has been paying attention to Milito's running without the ball. Seeing that the through ball from Sneijder is extremely threatening, Yang Feng also knows that he has no way to stop it, so he directly guards a position one meter away from Milito. Moreover, Yang Feng's own position has been improved, just to prevent the right-footed player Milito from shooting directly from the far corner from the left.

After receiving the ball from the left side, Milito did make two fake moves under his feet, trying to shake off Yang Feng's defense, but Yang Feng himself turned a blind eye to the fake moves by Milito, and did not move for an inch. Occupy your own defensive position.

In the absence of many Inter Milan players in the penalty area, Milito could only force the ball to the right, take a far corner, and pass the ball to Eto'o who was ready to respond behind the goal.

However, when Yang Feng improved his position and blocked the best passing angle and traversing distance, Milito, who took a big step, did not completely cover the pass. Although the ball flew to the back point, But it was too floating, flying directly out of the bottom line.

Yang Feng used his excellent position selection to once again prevent Inter Milan from an offensive opportunity.

…………

The two sides began to invest heavily in the midfield to ensure the team's advantage in the midfield, and the speed of ball conversion is also extremely fast.

The dense defensive crowd of the two teams in the midfield makes no matter who gets the ball, in the process of wanting to move forward, there will always be at least two opponent defenders who will come to intercept and block.

Cambiasso, who was in possession of the ball, passed the ball to Zanetti on the left under the pressure of Chelsea, and Zanetti just waded past Drogba with the ball, but was pressed by Ane from the side. Erka, and Anelka kicked the ball back to his own half, and it was Ivanovic who responded.

Ivanovic took the ball and directly pushed back to attack, and the first hurdle that needed to pass in the midfield was Mota. Ivan used his ability to change direction quickly, accelerated sideways, and directly passed Mota, but The ball was a little bit bigger, and it was directly shoveled by Zanetti on the left, and the ball was shoveled directly. Ivan flew out, but the ball was shoveled towards Motta by Zanetti in the direction.

The referee did not call the penalty, and the game continued. Motta saw the opportunity in front of him, and directly passed the ball from a long distance to the feet of Milito, who was pulled down on the left.

Milito and Yang Feng, 1v1 on the left side, in a short period of time, neither player can come to this side to support, this is a personal battle between the two players!

Milito stood on tiptoe slightly and kept moving forward, while Yang Feng also retreated slightly. Although Fang Milito entered the penalty area, he also shortened the distance between him and the goalkeeper, making it impossible for Milito to make any more moves. The action of stroking the ball forward to accelerate.

Milito has been moving slowly, slowly, and suddenly a ball with his right foot to the outside, it seems that he wants to hit the goal directly.

"Do you want to open the door?"

Milito's ball movement is very obvious. Within the distance of the penalty area, as long as the ball is slightly dialed out to an angle, you can directly shoot with one foot, hit the far post, or forcibly swing your legs. Hit near corner.

Between the lightning and flint, Yang Feng could only choose to stretch out his right foot in a big stride to complete the block as much as possible.

Yang Feng, who has been observing the situation on the field from the corner of his eyes, is not afraid that Milito is a fake move, as long as he blocks his chance to hit the goal, even if Milito does not hit the goal after dialing the ball, he breaks to the right , but time is running out. During the time when Yang Feng kept letting Milito enter the penalty area, Lampard was about to run to the side of Milito from the side and rear. If he didn't hit the goal at this opportunity, Lampard would defend in place and help Yang Feng complete the interception .

Unless, Milito chooses to break through in the bottom direction!

"Down?"

Suddenly noticing that Milito's right foot did not fully stretch out to hit the goal, but stretched straight, Yang Feng instantly guessed Milito's intention.

With his right foot stretched out in a big stride to block Milito's "shot", Yang Feng immediately took a step back with his left foot, using his left foot as the central axis to forcefully complete the turn, ready to return to the baseline, but even if Yang Feng realized , but compared to Milito who had planned at the beginning and had been implementing the action, it was still half a beat slower!

In the middle of the ball, Milito directly smashes the ball with his right foot and chooses to break through the bottom. As long as he passes Yang Feng who has lost his position, Milito can have a chance of a single shot from a small angle.

For Milito, in this process, there was also an unexpected surprise, that is, on the way forward, when Yang Feng stretched out his right foot to block the door, his left foot behind him was blocking...

"Milito is down!"

"It fell directly on the turf!"

"beep--"

The whistle blew. The referee Gonzalez took cards out of his pocket while running.

Yang Feng jumped excitedly, and raised his hands to signal that he did not trip Milito...

Everyone is staring at the referee's decision!

In the end, Gonzalez did not stop in front of Yang Feng, but took a few steps forward, signaled Milito to dive, and gave the yellow card to Milito...

After all, it was Inter Milan's home court, and there was an uproar at the scene, followed by boos!

The viewers watching the live TV broadcast saw Yang Feng's left foot accurately through the video playback, because Yang Feng was eager to complete the turn at that time, and just took a step back to avoid the "collision" of Milito, and it was unmistakable. Milito's dive!

Regardless of luck or strength, anyway, Yang Feng's defense has become the best defensive point to limit the performance of Milito!
