Football’s First Defender

Since Cesar's arm was fully exerted, the ball relied on the strength of his arm. Cesar blocked the ball directly to the side instead of bouncing directly out of the bottom line to give Chelsea a corner kick.

Maicon rushed to the position at the first time and kicked the ball directly out of the sideline, only giving Chelsea a sideline ball on the right.

In order to continue the fast-paced attack, Anelka served directly from the side and passed the ball to Ivanovic.

When Cambiasso stepped forward to press, Ivanovic directly transferred the ball with a long pass, circled the ball in a big arc, and found the attacking space on the left side of Chelsea.

Malouda went straight in from behind and received the kick to divert the ball.

With Malouda cutting in and taking the ball from the left, Maicon, who had helped defend the center in the penalty area before, had to come out and complete the defense.

Malouda made a breakthrough. After adjusting Maicon's position, he chose to hit the ball horizontally and sent the ball directly to Lampard in the middle.

Cambiasso in the middle changed positions with his teammates and came back to complete the marking of Lampard. Lampard, who had no chance of long-range shots, continued to return the ball to the left.

When falling into a positional attack, Chelsea relied on passing the ball back and forth between the side and the middle, looking for possible open opportunities, and completing the destruction of the opponent's defense.

Kalou also returned to the left, hoping to respond, but this time Malouda made a 45-degree cross, hoping to find Drogba who was running in the penalty area.

But under Maicon's defense, the pass was still a bit too powerful, Drogba's jump height was not enough, and the ball flew directly to Cesar at the back point.

Cesar directly made a big kick, which was passed to Chelsea's half. This time, the direction of the big kick was controlled very well. After landing, it directly bounced back to the depths of Chelsea's defense on the right.

Eto'o took advantage of his speed and grabbed the first point directly on the side. However, when he wanted to break through later, Yang Feng, who was rushed to defend because he was too close to the side, directly used his body to fight. He staggered, and then Yang Feng accurately touched the ball to the sideline, giving Chelsea's defenders enough time to return to their positions.

Eto'o was at the border, waving to his teammates all the time, all coming forward, all pressing forward to attack, what Inter Milan needs now is to score!

Sneijder sent the ball from the sideline to Zanetti, who stepped forward to attack. Zanetti directly passed the ball to Motta behind him. As Chelsea's defense line advanced, Motta gave another kick to Motta. Zanetti, at the transfer station, Zanetti passed the ball lightly to Sneijder who retreated nearby, and Sneijder, under Mikel's defense, was not greedy for the ball and touched the ball with one foot. The ball was kicked to Zanetti again, and he turned around suddenly.

Mikel went straight forward and wanted to form a closed defense against Zanetti with Ivan, leaving a huge space behind him.

Zanetti is also a non-stop through ball, passing the ball directly from the gap left by the two Chelsea defenders.

Sneijder got the ball directly from the wing and went straight to the bottom.

Both Ivan and Mikel are chasing back in an emergency, but Sneijder has an extremely obvious advantage in position. In the process of dribbling, Sneijder has plenty of space to adjust the pass.

Instead of choosing an inverted triangle, Sneijder directly chose a cross and passed the ball to Chelsea's goal.

Perhaps due to the decline in control ability caused by fast running, or because Sneijder's own physical fitness has declined, Sneijder's foot movement still deviates from the last pass.

There was no problem with the route of the ball, but the height was not enough. Yang Feng, who was quickly returned to the pass route, shook his head in the air and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

However, this time Chelsea did not do a good job of protecting the landing point. It was also because Sneijder went directly to the bottom and brought Chelsea's defense back to the penalty area.

Cambiasso was outside the box and was left wide open.

Facing Yang Feng's header to make a clearance, Cambiasso directly volleyed with his left foot!

Ballack returned to defend Cambiasso's position at the first time, but he hadn't reached the position yet. Seeing that Cambiasso had finished hitting the goal, he could only stop in place, hoping to stretch his legs to complete the interception, but he didn't touch the football.

It is still necessary for Yang Feng to stand up on the defensive line. Facing Cambiasso's goal, Yang Feng, who had just completed a header clearance and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, also took his defensive position again, blocking Cambiasso with his body. Biaso volleyed towards the near corner with this foot.

But because Cambiasso hit the goal with great force and hit Yang Feng, the ball actually bounced back almost the same way.

Cambiasso, who was still unguarded, took a step forward and volleyed again. This time Cambiasso widened the angle and hit the ball directly to the far corner.

When Cambiasso hit the goal with the first kick, Cech had already fallen to the ground to save the near corner. At this time, Cech had just stood up, facing Cambiasso's second kick. Can no longer react.

"GOAL!!!"

"Cambiasso! Two consecutive volleys and scored the ball!"

"The score became 2 to 1, Inter Milan regained the lead!"

Looking at the Inter Milan players celebrating on the field, Yang Feng could only shake his head, expressing helplessness.

Whether it was the clearance from Sneijder's pass, or Cambiasso's first kick, Yang Feng thought he had done everything a defender could do.

But Cambiasso's loophole outside the penalty area has always existed, and Inter Milan is also lucky. In such a position where the defense line is leaking, the ball really keeps flying there.

Cambiasso, who has been contributing on the defensive end, can also shoot two high-quality long-range shots in a row.

Like Kalou's accidental goal before Chelsea, this time there are multiple accidents intertwined, and Cambiasso deserves to be able to score.

The game time is almost 70 minutes. Chelsea scored a goal at this moment, and they are still a guest at the Meazza Stadium. Now Chelsea is indeed facing a critical moment.

Mourinho, who regained the lead in the score, told the players directly after the players celebrated the goal that they could not defend at the last moment. Except for Milito and Eto'o, everyone else has to defend full-time at the rear, and they must be able to withstand Chelsea's counterattack at the last moment.

After conceding the ball, Ancelotti had to send in Joe Cole to continue to strengthen the team's offensive strength. Although Sturridge has been warming up, Ancelotti still believes in Drogba and others on the field. People, did not give this teenager a chance to play.

Chelsea continued to strengthen the team's offense in the next 20 minutes. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Mourinho simply removed Milito, who was unable to run and defend in a wide range, and sent a midfielder to continue to strengthen the team. defense.

Even Eto'o, who was supposed to be at the forefront, waiting for a chance to counterattack, was strictly ordered by Mourinho to expand his running range, put aside the counterattack first, and make the team's defense more stable.

Facing Inter Milan's more stable iron barrel formation again, the Chelsea players who ran the whole game no longer have enough physical fitness and luck to knock on the door of Inter Milan!

In the end, with Lampard hitting the stands with a long shot, the result of the game ended with Inter Milan beating Chelsea 2-1 at home.

Chelsea suffered a defeat in the first knockout round of the Champions League round of 16. Whether the defending champion can advance to the next knockout round is now cast a shadow...
