54 Header King

"Doodoo-"

Chen Ping almost stepped on the whistle to enter the stadium and shake hands with the Sheffield United coach, before returning to his position, the game had already begun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The second round of League One matches begins. In the first round, Preston North End were too aggressive and were beaten to an 8-0 high score by West Ham. Sheffield United should have learned the lesson of Preston North End and were cautious when the game started. ”

And Preston's choice is completely different.

Preston North End players went crazy to grab the ball in the last game, but left a lot of holes, and were caught by West Ham one by one, and finally the whole team lost morale.

That's why Sheffield United keep a low profile.

They understand that they are not as good as West Ham and that this is West Ham's home stadium. Therefore, Sheffield United chose to play cautiously and stabilize their position first.

However, this is the right time for West Ham to attack as much as they want.

Of course, because Sheffield United have contracted their defensive line, they can't penetrate the middle at all. West Ham is not Barcelona, and penetration in the middle is not West Ham's strong point in the first place, and the middle does not need to be considered at all when facing heavy defense. West Ham is a typical English team, and Chen Ping's design for West Ham is also the most typical English style of play.

Don't want any middle at all, just attack on the wing.

Carrick, move the ball to the right. Leo Cork got the ball and Glen Johnson was quick...... Leo Cork handed the ball to Glen Johnson. Glen Johnson shakes off the defender, Glen Johnson, crosses!"

West Ham's style of play requires the use of the width of the field, and Carrick is constantly mobilizing with long balls in midfield.

Carrick's task is also very simple, which is to get the ball to the two wings. Give both wingers a chance to get up and cross. The West Ham players faithfully executed Chen Ping's plan.

Glen Johnson may not be very good at his crosses, but he is physical, explosive and fast, and he can always find opportunities to cross as long as he intervenes from behind.

This time too.

There was no superfluous movement, Leo Coke crossed a little forward, Glen Johnson used his speed to dodge an angle, and then crossed.

Sheffield United's defenders were very nervous at this point.

Because Sheffield United's defenders are not very tall, and Lambert is a 1.88m centre-forward standing there, how can they not be nervous. Jagielka was firmly on top of Lambert.

Lambert saw Glenn Johnson receive the ball and immediately retreated near the penalty area. Without the slightest hesitation, Jagilka immediately posted it. If Lambert had withdrawn from the box and retreated as deep as he had in the previous game, Giagielka would certainly not follow.

But Lambert only dropped back slightly, and the man was still on the line of the penalty area. Giagirka, of course, is going to follow.

But just as Jagielka was attached, Lambert suddenly accelerated and ran near the back point. Jagielka could only follow, and at this point Jagielka also found that Glen Johnson had crossed.

Suddenly, Jagielka felt that Lambert had accelerated, and was about to jump. Giagielka's body is certainly not as good as Lambert's. In terms of height, Jagielka is only 1.8 meters, and Lambert is 1.88 meters. Jagielka weighed seventy kilograms, and Lambert weighed eighty-seven kilograms, which was more than thirty pounds heavier than Jagielka.

The volume is different, and the impact force produced is completely different.

Against Lambert, Jagielka could clearly feel the powerful power in Lambert's body. So Giagilka understands that if you want to defend against Lambert, especially against the ball, you have to jump. It doesn't matter if you can reach the ball or not, you have to jump.

Only by jumping up and interfering with Lambert can he influence Lambert's header.

So Jagilka also jumped hard. But as soon as he jumped up, Jagilka felt a huge force collide with him. Lambert's physical fitness was already very good, but after two seasons of training, as well as being stimulated by Chen Ping's potential points, his explosiveness and strength have become even stronger.

Lambert's current physicality is among the current center forwards in world football, and he can be in the top five.

Jagielka has been working in League One for many years and has seen many of the most physically strong centre-forwards in English football, and has played against them non-stop. But there has never been a man with more physical strength than Lambert.

"Lambert, Lambert leaps high, Lambert heads the ball over! Herbert poked the ball out before Defoe. Lambert's performance just now is really a good center player. ”

Lambert took a step back and then quickly accelerated to steal the ball. Very clever choice, and it can also be seen that Lambert's amazing bounce and judgment of the ball landing. ”

Right.

Chen Ping's training of Lambert in the past two years is completely based on that kind of center. In the past two years, Lambert has practiced heading, how to run and how to grab headers. That's why he's so high in League C and League Two.

Speaking of which, Lambert's skills at his feet have not been excellent in the past two years, and his shooting at his feet is not very good.

But headers are definitely Lambert's greatest strength.

"Phew-"

Jagielka got up and spat on it.

After being hit by Lambert, Jagielka felt pain all over his body. Originally, I wanted to move, rest, and complain after standing up, but when I saw that the ball was controlled by West Ham again, and Lambert was moving on the line of the big penalty area, I could only run over to defend Lambert again.

No way, although the tallest in Sheffield United's back line is not Jagielka, the best header and the best defense is Jagielka. So it can only be Jagielka to defend Lambert.

Truth be told, Jagielka really doesn't want to defend Lambert.

Of all the England centre-forwards Jagielka has faced, Lambert is definitely the most difficult to defend. Not because Lambert is the strongest, but because Lambert has the best body, is very explosive, and has a great header.

More importantly, Lambert fits the English style of play perfectly.

If a striker of Lambert's style is in a team like Spain, then it is basically useless. Because Lambert's technique is too poor at his feet, he is out of step with a team with a technical flow style. But in a team like England, which values wide crosses, it's doubly powerful.

"Carrick, the ball is at Carrick's feet again. West Ham are constantly putting pressure on Sheffield United. Sheffield United learned the lessons of Preston North End in the last game, but they can't afford to fall so far behind. If West Ham were allowed to play like this, Sheffield United would definitely concede a goal. ”

Constant pressure, constant passing of the ball into the opposition penalty area, is what the experts in English football are most highly regarded. This kind of thinking is different from some other ways of playing, such as Cruyff, who did not share this view.

He believes that if you have the opportunity, you should attack, and if you don't have the opportunity, you should control the ball at your feet. One of Cruyff's football philosophies is to reduce mistakes.

But English football is different.

What you want is to pass the ball to the opponent's penalty area as much as possible, so that you will have more chances, even if you make mistakes, you are not afraid. Although Chen Ping studied in the Netherlands in his previous life, he was not a student of Cruyff's philosophy, on the contrary, Chen Ping currently agrees more with the views of English football.

Not because Cruyff's ideas are wrong, but because Chen Ping did not have the soil to realize Cruyff's ideas. Fewer turnovers and more possession of the ball sounds good, but it's very difficult to do. Since it is in English football, the traditional English style of play is more suitable for English teams.

It's a cross.

In the first game, West Ham made 29 crosses against Preston North End in a much more form than any other team in League One. But Chen Ping has always encouraged crosses.

This game is even more so. As Sheffield United stepped back, West Ham's crosses increased dramatically. From the start of the game, there was a cross almost every two minutes.

'Carrick, Carrick gave the ball to Baines, who passed the ball to Ribery. ”

Because the opponent retreats to defend, the defense on the side is also strengthened. Everyone has a defender around them, but Ribery is very confident with the ball, and after receiving a pass from Baines, he doesn't make any moves, just control the ball.

It's good technology, not afraid of grabbing.

"Ribery, the ball came to Ribery and there was a pause...... Ribery, through ball, handed to Baines on the wing. ”

Baines handed the ball to Ribery and immediately accelerated. Baines' speed can't be said to be fast, but it's not very slow either. Ribery took the ball, paused for a moment, and then suddenly played the ball to the wing.

It's a simple combination of full-backs and full-backs, but it's so effective here at Ribery. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have had the same ease of possession as Ribery. It's entirely Ribery who has enough confidence in his technique at his feet.

"Baines, Baines cross!"

Baines' crosses are outstanding, far from being comparable to the more famous Glenn Johnson. Baines's cross has speed and arc. Lambert, who was active on the line of the big penalty area, rushed in again.

Lambert was too powerful in the penalty area, not only Jagielka followed Lambert, but another central defender, Herbert, also stood in the small penalty area to block Lambert. However, Lambert was caught between two Sheffield United players and still jumped high.

With a weight of 87 kilograms, a height of 1.88 meters, and strong explosiveness, Lambert's impact is amazing. Lambert jumped up a head taller than Herbert and Jagielka.

One against two, but Lambert collided with the two of them, but he didn't suffer at all physically. On the contrary, Herbert, who collided head-on with Lambert, was unable to maintain his balance in the air.

As for Jagielka, who harassed Lambert, he even used his hands, but he couldn't stop Lambert.

"Lambert, Lambert flicks his head at the goal!"

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

'Lambert got the ball in the middle of two Sheffield United players. Herbert was directly knocked to the ground by Lambert, and Lambert's physical fitness was definitely beast-level. Lambert's kind of goal reminds me of Vieri. With such physical conditions and such header ability, Lambert will definitely become a center forward player for the England national team in the future. ”

'1-0, West Ham are 1-0 ahead of Sheffield United thanks to Lambert's goal. Sheffield United let West Ham control the midfield like this, and let West Ham cross so wantonly, it was only a matter of time before they conceded the goal. Sheffield United should have taken a more aggressive defensive approach. ”

"But now it's over. West Ham have a lot of fast players up front, and once West Ham start to play on the counter-attack, Sheffield United will be in big trouble. ”
