Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Chapter 41 The World's No. 1 Central Defender

The commentators who are more professional than the fans, such as Lineker, mentioned in 20 minutes that Tiago Silva Zize's defense in this game was very successful.

But the fans didn't really care. It's nothing new for opponents to arrange players to mark Zize alone. This kind of thing happened when Zize played in the Netherlands. It started with Eindhoven's Belgian midfielder Simmons .

After that, whether it was the unknown Wisgerhof in Nijmegen in the Eredivisie, or the well-known Ruhr Derby opponent Jones, or the notorious stadium meat grinder North De Jong, even if it is a world-class The world's top players of the giants, such as Mascherano, all have the experience of following Zize one-on-one to defend.

Most of these players are players with balanced abilities, outstanding defensive ability, strong physical fitness and speed, and Thiago Silva is just one of them.

It's not news that Qi Ce is restricted. In fact, Qi Ce doesn't score in every game, and there are times when he misfires.

But in terms of Qi Ce's own feeling, except for being played by some veterans when he was a fledgling, he has almost no chance for such a long time now, and it is very rare.

In the end, the first half ended with a slightly dull 0:0.

"This high-profile local derby scored 0:0 at halftime. Chelsea had more shots, a total of seven times. Paris Saint-Germain had three times. Ibrahimovic twice. Ravitch."

In China, Liu Jianhong is introducing the first half of the game: "Chelsea, there is a very interesting statistic, Zize's shots are zero, in terms of shot distribution, Hazard twice, Meyer twice, Ramirez Once, Marin once and David Luiz once."

Liu Jianhong was talking hard while thinking about something, and then said a little hesitantly: "If I remember correctly, there is no such thing as Qi Ce's zero shots in halftime. Qi Ce is very good at positions that seem to have no chance. When hitting the goal, the success rate is quite high, it is not an opportunity, it must be more than an obvious opportunity, Qi Ce can kick and shoot from any position."

Liu Jianhong's commentary partner is He Wei, and he also said: "Yes, Qi Ce's ability to shoot high-quality shots in various positions is the weapon he relies on in the game. It can even be said that half of his goals come from this kind of goal. The ability is not too much, and this situation should be very, very rare for Zize."

"It can only be said that Ancelotti used Thiago Silva to be responsible for marking Zize's job very successfully, and Thiago Silva is really good, really good. He is better than Zize in the Champions League two years ago. He was stronger in the group stage. Of course, it may be that Ancelotti’s arrangement for him is more suitable. His blocking, confrontation, and kicking are almost impeccable. It is difficult for Qi Ce to get the ball in the first place. Dealing with it, there was only one successful escape in the half, which was the time when Ramirez passed back from the inverted triangle.

But Thiago Silva is also experienced and blocked Qi Ce's shooting route. Otherwise, with Qi Ce's ability, he can also hit the goal from a small angle. "

"Yes, Zize played well in the first 20 minutes of the first half, but as the game progressed, Thiago Silva gradually improved, which made Zize very uncomfortable."

"The key to whether Chelsea can win this game may not be with Zize, but with Hazard. Chelsea mainly attack the left side, which is Paris van der Weil's side."

The two commentators chatted about the game situation on the court, and at this time, Qi Ce also walked off the court very depressed.

No shots at halftime!

Not to mention that in Liu Jianhong's impression, Qi Ce's own impression did not have such a thing!

Zize felt awkward in this game. Thiago Silva's defense was not very tough, and he did not give Zize a strong confrontation and oppression, but his position selection, attacking, and blocking abilities were impeccable , the simplest, such as Zitz responding to Meyer's pick-up pass-this is Meyer's best stunt, and Hiddink regards it as one of the best offensive methods during training.

And Thiago Silva will hardly lag behind Zize at this time. It is not that his explosive power can keep up with Zize, but his position selection. It seems that he can always see through Meyer's passing line, One step to stand still, even if he didn't directly win the pass from Meyer, Zize couldn't directly face the goal when he got the ball, he had already blocked the way.

Taking a step back, even if Thiago Silva's defensive area has something that he can't take into account, Alex, who is tall and burly behind him, can easily block the few shooting routes. Even precise shooting can't make up for it.

It can only be said that in this game, Zize encountered the strongest modern central defender at this stage. If Terry is the master of the British central defender, then Thiago Silva is the master of the modern central defender. The central defender pays attention to confrontation, hard work, blocking shots, headers, clearing with big feet, physical confrontation, and hand-to-hand combat. This is what the British central defender looks like. Terry has done very well in these aspects.

He will even use the back of his head to block the opponent's shot. This kind of desperate defensive attitude has also been praised by many people, but the modern perfect central defender pays more attention to position selection, blocking, ball delivery, and anticipation of interception , Command the defense line.

This is also the inevitable result of the development of football. Why does the British central defender pay attention to confrontation and hand-to-hand combat?

Because English football needs a traditional center when attacking, to fight for the top, to play the ball, to pass the ball to teammates to complete the shot or to hit the goal by yourself. In this case, you must fight your opponent physically.

But now, there are fewer and fewer traditional centers, replaced by some all-round forwards with better and better skills. Correspondingly, the requirements for defenders are getting higher and higher, not to mention the ability to play the ball, and the defense is also getting better and better. It takes comprehensiveness, and the era of relying solely on body and strong defense is over.

Zize is a very typical modern all-round forward, and Thiago Silva is currently the best modern perfect central defender. Except for a slight disadvantage in height, other aspects are almost perfect.

This is also a challenge.

Thiago Silva is stronger than when he encountered two years ago, and more importantly, Ancelotti's arrangements are also in place. Players of this level of strength will not be encountered every time, but do not go beyond this level. Challenges, there will be more in the future to follow Ancelotti's arrangements, even if the strength is not as good as Thiago Silva, there will be more troubles.

After all, after a tactic is successful, everyone will always rush to follow it. After it is cracked, the imitators will disperse like an ebb tide.

Of course, this is more of a test for the head coach.

This is a tactical game, and Hiddink also made his response during the intermission.

Replace Marin with Sturridge, change!

Sturridge is fast and has a good ability to grab points. Hiddink's consideration is to let Sturridge sprint behind the Parisian defense line. If Zize is marked to death, it will definitely give others a chance, so he has to change into a double striker. Zitzer and Sturridge partnered forward, Hazard and Oscar wandered behind them on the wing, and Meyer and Ramirez remained in their positions.

The second half begins.

The tactical game between Hiddink and Ancelotti is still going on. Ancelotti chose to stand still. Hiddink’s substitution adjustments have had an effect. Just ten minutes into the second half, the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Chelsea Be the first to break the door!

It was Sturridge who scored the goal. After Zize helped him share most of the firepower, Sturridge did find his own chance. Ramirez sent a through ball and Sturridge got it in front of Motta. The ball, staged a one-man ball pass, and then sent the ball into the net!

Then Hiddink continued to make substitutions, removing Oscar, who played a bit awkwardly on the wing, and got Mata, who was more creative.

The game has been going on for an hour.

Chelsea finally took the lead away from home and broke the deadlock, but the fans gradually began to pay attention to the problem that Zize did not shoot.

Regardless of the current game situation, Zize did not shoot, which shows that Ancelotti Zize's defensive method is correct!

But Sturridge's performance also proved that the price of this defense is too high.

Although it seems that only one Thiago Silva is lost in the exchange tactics, Motta basically has to return to the central defender position, which is equivalent to losing a midfielder, and Alex has to always pay attention to Thiago · Behind Silva, it means that Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder will have one less point of departure and one more space.

Sturridge took advantage of this gap and scored the ball, but restricted the Zize. There will definitely be many fans interested in this, and of course, the Premier League coaches will also be interested.

Since Ancelotti can push Zize to this point, can he improve his thinking and do it in more games?

In fact, many fans are needless to worry. The prerequisite for this is that a famous coach like Ancelotti and a player of Thiago Silva's level are indispensable.

The core of this style of play lies in Thiago Silva, which not every team can have, and now, Hiddink is actually equivalent to cracking Ancelotti's arrangement, even if he has the ability It's not that Chelsea can't find a countermeasure for the team that made this arrangement, it's just that Qi Ce didn't score a goal.

For Hiddink, whether Zize can score is not important, what matters is that the team can score and win.

And Zize played a crucial role in this. To put it extremely, if Zize didn't shoot or score every game, but he had such a role, Hiddink would still put him in every game. Arrange to play.

It's just that for Zize himself, this may be a bit uncomfortable...
