"Carrick, Carrick, he's our captain...... He's our captain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Carrick.

At present, the most popular in West Ham is Carrick. First of all, Carrick stayed firmly with West Ham after the team's relegation, and that alone was enough for West Ham fans to cheer him on. And from the beginning of this season, Carrick officially captained West Ham. Besides, Carrick has performed well at West Ham this season, and he is a player that West Ham has cultivated themselves.

These fans are always more tolerant of the players they have cultivated in the academy. If it's an outside player who doesn't do well in the team, they're going to be very picky. But the players that their own clubs have cultivated, even if they perform a little badly, they will give support and understanding. If the performance is slightly better, they will tout.

That's the difference.

Not to mention the fans, even the club itself will pay more attention to the players it has cultivated. Just like when choosing the captain this season, Chen Ping had many options, but in the end he chose Carrick because he was a player developed by West Ham themselves.

It's a heritage, a heritage of the club's culture.

While there has been an impressive Defoe this season, West Ham fans are a bunch of vengeful beings. They clearly remember that within 24 hours of the team's relegation, Defoe submitted a transfer request. That's why Defoe scored so many goals, but the cheers from the fans weren't as good as Carrick's.

At the start of the game, the first thing the fans cheered was Carrick's name.

"Whew-"

Joe Cole watched the fans chanting Carrick's name with mixed feelings. Back then, needless to say, because it was last season when Joe Cole was still at West Ham. At that time, West Ham's most popular star was Joe Cole, and Carrick was at most Joe Cole's henchman. The loudest cheer at Upton Park was Joe Cole.

But half a year later, Carrick is already the captain of West Ham and the favorite star of West Ham fans.

Joe Cole quickly shook his head, allowing himself to get rid of this emotion quickly. I didn't think I would meet West Ham so soon, who would have thought that we would meet in the cup, and it has been less than half a season since I left West Ham. After all, Joe Cole has been at West Ham for many years, and this sentiment is difficult to shake off for a while. Joe Cole struggled to get himself into the game.

Joe Cole arrived at Chelsea in an unstable position. In a small team like West Ham, Joe Cole is a key player, but not at Chelsea.

It's hard to get on the pitch, and of course Joe Cole has to perform well.

Confusion.

After Chelsea suddenly played 3-4-2-1, that is, 3-6-1, many players were not used to it. This change in formation has completely different requirements for the players. Needless to say, the team is a little confused about the way they play after this formation change, and even the positioning.

So Chelsea's players are more likely to give the ball to Joe Cole. After all, Joe Cole is the attacking core of the front field, and he is one of the few forward-type players cultivated in English football.

"Babayaro gives the ball to Joe Cole, who organizes the attack. ”

Joe Cole holds the ball.

Joe Cole is currently England's best player with the best technique at his feet. Joe Cole took the ball, Duff immediately ran to the right, Geremi ran to the left, and Hasselbaink cut forward in the middle.

Chelsea are a strong team.

Chelsea's players are also quality players. Although it was the first time to play this formation, it was completely unsuitable for their respective tasks. But when they get the chance, they still know how to play.

"Carrick, Carrick stepped forward. ”

After bringing back Leo Corkra, Carrick took on the middle of the midfield and was right next to Joe Cole. Before the game, Ranieri set up a lot and also highlighted Carrick, asking Joe Cole to pay attention to Carrick.

But Joe Cole didn't take it to heart.

Joe Cole is about three months younger than Carrick and both are West Ham Academy players. Having played together for five years at West Ham, we know each other very well.

Carrick's technical characteristics, no one is more familiar with than Joe Cole.

It's like that, people.

Trust your own experience, what others say is not as good as what you see with your own eyes. Joe Cole and Carrick have had too many intra-team confrontations, so Joe Cole knows how to deal with Carrick. Joe Cole takes the ball and observes the field.

Although Duff and Geremi moved on the wing, West Ham's wide defence was still good. Not only the midfielders, but also the two full-backs.

On the contrary, the defense in the middle is a little worse.

Only Carrick.

Break through Carrick and then face West Ham's backline. Therefore, although Babayaro came up next to him and wanted to cooperate with Joe Cole, Joe Cole did not have Babayaro in his eyes.

Joe Cole is confident.

Confident that he can get past Carrick. In the face of Carrick's grab, he made a breakthrough on the right side, and at the moment when Carrick's body moved, he immediately broke through to the left. Joe Cole's technique is good, and his explosiveness and speed are not too bad.

In the past, at West Ham, Carrick was almost a one-time pass.

So this time is no different.

Carrick was indeed shaken by Joe Cole, but quickly realized that he had been fooled. So at the moment when Joe Cole broke through to the left, Carrick also immediately came back to his senses and directly fell to the ground to tackle.

Fast.

The fast Joe Cole didn't react.

"Joe Cole, Joe Cole broke through Carrick...... Joe Cole, Carrick, Carrick fell to tackle! ”

Carrick's explosiveness and long legs are really useful when defending.

Joe Cole had actually shaken off Carrick, but Carrick relied on his explosiveness and a big man of 1.88 meters to accurately tackle the ball.

"Carrick, Carrick left the ball at his feet. Carrick quickly got to his feet and Joe Cole complained to the referee, but the referee didn't think there was anything wrong with the goal. It was a clean tackle. ”

"Carrick, Babayaro wants to step forward. Carrick, long pass!"

After Carrick's tackle, he quickly got up. In comparison, Joe Cole fell to the ground in disbelief. Joe Cole didn't understand how Carrick could turn around and tackle so quickly, even though he had passed Carrick. It's not like the Carrick I'm familiar with.

But Carrick didn't have time to think about it at this point.

Chelsea's sudden change of formation was a surprise for the game, but Ranieri's preparation was not entirely nonsense. After all, Ranieri is an old coach and won't make this formation for no reason. The goal of playing six midfielders in this game is to suppress West Ham's midfield.

As soon as Carrick got the ball, Barbayaro next to him had already come to grab the ball. Duff and Geremi, who had just walked to either side, also immediately retracted to block Carrick's passing route.

That's the numerical advantage in midfield. Carrick only had to hesitate a little and there would be several players next to him.

So it doesn't leave time for Carrick at all.

Fortunately, Carrick reacted faster, and when Babayaro hadn't come over, he immediately made a long pass. The back three, compared to the back four, has a larger area to control, and it is simply impossible to completely cover the defensive area. The back three system needs the help of the midfielders to defend it.

But how to play with a back three, the midfielders are completely inexperienced. So now there is a big gap in front for Carrick to pass the ball.

'Defoe, Carrick's pass found Defoe. There's too much space here, Defoe!"

Three-back system.

Even Barcelona at their peak are afraid of counter-attacking, let alone Chelsea, who have made up on the fly. Melchiott, Terry, and Gala are playing a back three for the first time, and they are not familiar with the positions required by the back three.

When Defoe got the ball, Gala stepped forward.

In a back four, Galla would have opted to drop back slowly to protect the interior. But with a back three, Galla knows he has no room to step back. If you retreat any further, you will even be within range of Defoe.

So Galla had no choice but to step forward and break the ball before Defoe was in control.

"Gala, Defoe is so fast. Gala's choice was a bit reckless, and Defoe was already in the past. ”

One-on-one should be said to be very disadvantageous for defensive players. This is especially true when a defender encounters a player who is fast and has good technique. Don't say it's Gala, even if Nesta comes over, and there is no teammate to help the defense, he will defend himself one-on-one against those offensive players who are excellent in technique and speed, and it is estimated that eight times out of ten will fail.

So now football defense is a system.

That's how it was with Gala.

In the face of Gala, Defoe just accelerated and erased. Nothing else was used, and Defoe simply wiped it from Gala's side. In terms of speed and sensitivity, Gala is no match for Defoe.

Terry was anxious to see Gara being wiped out directly by Defoe.

That's the case with the back three.

As long as one position is breached, then the whole defense is full of holes. Originally, the back three needed two wings to help the defense. However, Geremy and Glen Schal were unfamiliar with their position and were counter-attacked by West Ham, so they did not return at all. There are only three back three.

Terry had no choice but to step forward and block it.

Bet.

Gala and Terry grabbed one after another, both of them were a little bet. That is to hope for a successful tackle, and even if it is not successful, it will delay the speed of West Ham's attack. But Gala had failed, and now it was Terry's turn.

"Defoe, Defoe pass!"

But as soon as Terry moved, Defoe immediately passed the ball into the box. Terry left, leaving Lambert without even a single defender by his side. Lambert's shot can't be said to be outstanding, but how could he let it go.

"Lambert, Lambert shoots!"
