Ice Shooter of the Green Field
Chapter 73 The Rise of the Grassroots Heroes
The tenth round of the Premier League will be fully restarted after the international match day. The Champions League will also restart the second half of the group stage after this game. Chelsea's opponents this week are Swansea City and Malaga.
Swansea City, the status of this team in the Premier League is a bit special, because she is not in England, but in Wales, and she is participating in the English Premier League.
This is because Swansea City was established earlier, a hundred years ago in 1912, Swansea City had already been established, but at that time Wales had not yet established its own league, so Swansea participated in the English game. It eventually became the first Welsh team to appear in the Premier League in history.
This was in 2011 last year, when Swansea upgraded to the Premier League and created this feat. After Swansea City coach Brendan Rodgers became the head coach in 2010, he became a bright spot in the British Championship at that time. The landscape - pass control football.
Facts have proved that pass control is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the rough style of the English Championship. The performance of Swansea City proved this. They were finally promoted to the Premier League that season, and they did not intend to give up on themselves in the Premier League. style of.
Many Premier League relegation teams and newly promoted teams will play defensive counterattacks. This is the most suitable choice and affordable. This is why the Premier League is always difficult to play. Many teams will set up buses and wait for opportunities to counterattack. Overturned.
But Swansea is an exception. Rodgers led Swansea to rank eleventh in the Premier League last season, which is a remarkable achievement for the newly promoted!
But what is more remarkable than the ranking is their ball possession rate. Last season, Swansea City ranked third in the Premier League with an average ball possession rate of 58%, second only to champions Manchester City's 60% and Arsenal's 58.3%. The team is notoriously fond of passing and controlling football, and it is also a powerful giant. Swansea ranks third, which is enough to explain many problems.
This season, Swansea City's style has not changed, and it is still the principle of passing and controlling. Although the meritorious coach Rodgers was poached by the giants Liverpool, the current average ball possession rate is 55.9%, ranking fourth in the Premier League. There are still ahead of them. Manchester City and Arsenal were in the shadows, while Chelsea joined the ranks, coming in third with 56.5%.
Chelsea's changes are easy to see, and Swansea City also has a very impressive change compared to last season.
The first is the change of coaches of the two teams. Chelsea changed from the young and reckless Villas-Boas, who entered the giants, into the old Hiddink, and Swansea City left with meritorious service. Boas left the team but did not let the team appear. The sharp decline was mainly due to the entry of Danish legend Michel Laudrup.
The great Laudrup in the player era passed the ball pleasing to the eye, and his technical style has continued from his player era to the coach era. Swansea City this season has continued the concept of passing and controlling.
It is quite a beautiful landscape in the Premier League.
The other is the core members, Chelsea ushered in Qi Ce, the whole world knows this.
Swansea City ushered in an unknown Spaniard named Michu.
His full name is Miguel Perez Cuesta, but no one cares what his name is, his nickname is michu, the transliteration of the name is easy, it is Michu, and he scored eight goals in nine rounds of the Premier League The efficiency of the ball is second only to Zize and Van Persie, ranking third.
Who is Michu?
Recently, the name of Michu has become very popular in the UK, and his number of goals is surprising. Aguero, Suarez, Bale, Rooney, these well-known superstars have been left behind by him, only this season Van Persie and Mr. Golden Globe in super god state are more than him!
England, Wales, Swansea, Liberty Stadium.
The tenth round of the Premier League is underway. Michu headed off in the 19th minute to help Swansea City take the lead!
This Spaniard is performing a crazy miracle!
It's not that Zize has never encountered a grassroots shooter. He used to be the grassroots shooter himself, and at that time there was a Bosnian named Ibisevic who broke out with him.
But it is worth noting that Michu is not a striker, at least when he played in Spain, he has always been an attacking midfielder.
Last season, although he failed to win the Sala Award (the top scorer in Spain) and lost to well-known La Liga forwards such as Llorente and Soldado, he was the midfielder with the most goals in La Liga that season .
It was only his first time playing in the top league. Such an inspirational experience made a teenager in Norway, far away from the ocean, change his screen name to Michu. This teenager is a Premier League player. The son of a famous general, but he will be more famous than his father in the future. His name is Erling Harland.
And now, this grassroots Spaniard is challenging Qi Ce, who is on top of the world!
He scored a goal so far, Swansea lead Chelsea 1-0, and it is also clear that he is ahead of Zize.
The game has progressed to the second half. Chelsea faced Swansea, which is dominated by possession. At the Liberty Stadium, the possession rate of the two sides was evenly tied.
You know, Chelsea is now focusing on the style of ball possession. Although the Dutch coach Hiddink has coached many teams with relatively average strength and played some pragmatic games and achieved good results, he is still a Dutchman with a gorgeous offense. Ball handling is still something he's after when the setup allows it.
Swansea's style of play is to control the ball, but the overall strength of the team is still a bit behind Chelsea. So the situation of this game is still very surprising.
But finally, Chelsea equalized in the 60th minute of the second half. Torres received Hazard's pass and shot in the penalty area was saved by Swansea goalkeeper Tremel. Mata followed up and scored into the net!
This time, Mata's running position is coquettish and clever. In fact, Zize is already behind. If Mata doesn't score, he may be able to run to that position and shoot.
"Zize's luck was a little bit bad today! He missed a chance and flew off the goal post once, but fortunately, Mata equalized the score!"
The casters didn't mention that Zize might not be in his best form today, even though it was.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with Qi Ce's physical condition. After two days of rest and a game on the virtual stadium, it should be said that his body and state should be good, but Qi Ce's state is indeed not that good.
During the two days of preparation, due to the fact that he had to go to Wales for an away game, Zize decided to wait until after the game to talk to the two of them, but this also made Zize's state in the game not so good.
Doing other things with thoughts on your mind will be affected more or less. This effect may be undetectable by yourself. State is such an illusory thing, and the influence of mood on state is also difficult to detect, but in fact it will be there.
Of course, it may also be that luck is not very good, and the game has never been successful. The final result is that Swansea City drew with Chelsea at home, ending Chelsea's 15-game winning streak in all competitions.
This game is a pity for Chelsea, but it is not unacceptable. The season has just started, and Chelsea's nine-game winning streak has already opened up the gap with other teams. The fans can also get one point for a tie. This result.
Although Hiddink still criticized the performance of some players, he did not say too much. The draw is not unacceptable not only to the fans, but also to the players and coaches. On the contrary, for a team that has been creating new records, this record will eventually come to an end. Losing now is not necessarily a bad thing.
Fifteen consecutive victories, this record is not easy, but it is not impossible to surpass, leaving a goal for the boys to continue to struggle, and by the way, break the record, Hiddink thinks this is not bad.
The protagonist of this draw is no longer Qi Ce, but Mi Chu.
This is Michu's tenth goal in his tenth Premier League game, tying Van Persie's scoring record!
And this is only his second season in the top European leagues. Last season, he scored 16 goals in La Liga. It seems that this is not a coincidence!
Of course, Mi Chu, a player who suddenly became famous and then fell soon, has also heard of his name in his previous life. He is not too worried that Mi Chu can really become his competitor. The most important thing is Van Persie, of course. , the most important thing is actually Messi.
However, for at least these two days, Michu will appear as a grassroots hero in the headlines of major British media, and the headlines are all attractive words such as Michu's victory over Qi Ce.
Of course, Zize didn't care about these reports. After the game, Zize felt that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible, instead of waiting for him to continue playing football with this feeling of guilt. Not to mention that the state of the situation is not helpful, it is even worse for Irene and Lin Xiaojia.
So, on the rest day after the Welsh game, Zize gave up his rest, returned to Dortmund from London, and returned to his home where he hadn't been back for two months.
