Chapter 364: Demonic Beasts and Magic Lamps
With a whistle from Howard Webb, the 2005-06 Community Shield final officially entered the second half!
At the same time as the whistle blew, Drogba, who was standing in the center circle, quickly passed the ball to Alonso behind him, and then ran forward without looking back, directly finding Robert Hut, who had just replaced Galla!
To be honest, the reason why Drogba was able to win the competition with Klose and sit in the position of Tottenham's main center forward is more because George values the huge help that the Ivorian Monster can provide to the team in the defensive end, as well as the strong ability to attract the attention of the opposing defenders!
This is also the main reason why Klose is difficult to take the initiative in the competition with Drogba even if he becomes more and more comprehensive, compared with the Ivory Coast Warcraft, although the level of K-God to grasp opportunities in the game is better, and the ability to respond has also made great progress in the year since he transferred to Tottenham, but in terms of tactical role, especially Tottenham, which has Robben and Ronaldo, the two top wingers, is better at creating scoring opportunities through running and crossing, rather than as a bridgehead in the front court, Klose is obviously not as good as Drogba!
You must know that in George's tactical system, the main role of the center is to exist as a tactical fulcrum in the front court, attracting defensive firepower to pull space, and his own scoring ability is secondary. Of course, that doesn't mean George doesn't pay attention to his center's scoring ability. After all, the first criterion for measuring the level of a striker is always the strength of his own scoring ability!
In fact, it was the Swedish Divine Tower that was George's first choice when he took charge of Tottenham. It was only because the effect of Ibrahimovic's own tactical system was too strong, and the training cycle was indeed too long, that George gave up Ibrahimovic and chose Drogba, who had stronger tactical execution ability.
Drogba is also well aware of his strengths, and he also knows that as a striker, he is not sharp in terms of smelling in front of goal and attacking awareness. If you have to compete with Klose in these abilities, then you must lose in the end!
In this case, it is better to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take the initiative to find the opponent's defenders to seek physical confrontation when attacking, so as to open a breakthrough for the team. In this way, you can not only effectively contain the opponent's defensive strength, but also give full play to your own advantages in strength and physical confrontation!
Therefore, Hut, who has just come off the bench, and Galla before him, naturally become Drogba's priority targets in this Community Shield final! Although the physical fitness of these two players is also not bad, it also depends on who they compare with. In the face of Drogba, whose strength and agility are comparable to those of the peak Vieri, the two of them are obviously far behind!
Although Drogba's approach is a bit suspicious of picking soft persimmons, it is also the best way to maximize the power of Warcraft itself. After all, no matter how strong Terry's ability is, no matter how fast he can fill the position, he has not reached the level that Nesta can play a backline by himself. Once John Terry runs to help defend Drogba, there will be a lapse in his defensive area, and Drogba, who has managed to attract the pack, can distribute the ball to other team-mates who are plugged in and threaten the Chelsea door!
With Essien and Claude Makelele on the pitch at the same time in the first half, the duo's rotation and timely packing were a great way to reduce the threat that Drogba posed in attack and avoid such holes in Chelsea's defence. And now, with Mourinho replacing the Ghanaian Buffaloes with Gudjohnsen to strengthen the attack, Makelele, who has only one person left, naturally has no way to protect the front of his own defense while balancing Terry or covering Drogba!
In the 56th minute, Ibrahimovic's pass to Ribery was wrong, and Gerrard was cut off in the middle of the defense and passed to Alonso, who looked up slightly after winning the ball, and then raised his foot to send a long pass, which was accurately passed to Drogba, who was fighting with Hute in front, and counterattacked!
Although Huter's air defense and frontal confrontation capabilities were much more reliable than Gala's, and his strength was first-class among the defenders, the Germans, who struggled a lot in this aerial confrontation with Drogba, were ultimately defeated. By the time Hutter stood firm and was about to continue defending, Drogba had already turned around and kept the ball from Alonso firmly at his feet!
Terry, who noticed that Hut was not Drogba's opponent, rushed over to make up for the defense at the first time, but his movements were still a beat slower. Drogba, who had been secretly observing Terry's movements, immediately made a decision, and with a slight pick with his right foot, he picked the ball and passed it to Ronaldo, who cut in from the right side!
Ronaldo, who burst into the penalty area with the ball, did not hesitate at all, first deceived Akinfeev with a simple feint, and then directly pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal, rewriting the score to 3-1!
Shortly after the start of the second half, Didier Drogba once again tore through the Chelsea defence and assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to score and help Tottenham extend their lead to two goals again!
"What a textbook counter-attack!" Martin Taylor said in admiration, "From the time Gerrard stole Ibrahimovic's pass, Tottenham's goal went through just three passes and four players, and it took less than twenty seconds...... Whether it is positional attack or defensive counterattack, it can create a huge threat, and now Tottenham can really be regarded as a top team!"
However, although the point difference was once again widened by the opponent, the Chelsea players who had been trained by Mourinho did not choose to give up the game early, but launched a more fierce attack on the Tottenham goal after the restart!
While this could allow Tottenham to further widen the difference, for the Chelsea players, if they don't want to see their opponents on the podium at the end of the game, they will have to go all out!
In the 62nd minute, Duff's breakthrough won a corner for Chelsea. Franck Ribery's corner caused chaos in the Tottenham penalty area before being cleared by Nemanja Vidic, but the ball cleared by the Serbian was met by Frank Lampard. The Blues vice-president who got the ball adjusted slightly, and picked up his right foot from 25 yards away from the goal to hit the goal!
Blocked by the crowd in the box, Cech didn't see Lampard in action at all, and by the time he could react, the ball had flown into the goal behind him!
Frank Lampard told everyone that this game is far from over!
