Chapter 373: The Strongest Central Defender

Standing in front of the goal, Van der Sar kept bouncing back and forth, his hands flailing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Goalkeepers are a very special profession because in the whole game, they are really required to make very few saves, sometimes maybe not even once, and no one knows when it will come back.

But every time it comes, it requires you to do your best.

Therefore, one of the most important things a goalkeeper does in every game is how to keep himself in the best shape at all times.

It's only August, and it's not particularly obvious yet, but once the cold winter begins, that's the real test.

As Van der Sar, who has been in the Premier League for two seasons, he has accumulated a lot of experience in this regard.

Dragged at the back of the team, he seemed to be doing his own thing, but he kept an eye on the pitch and kept in touch with captains John Terry and Gallas at the back.

As soon as the game began, Liverpool took advantage of the home advantage and launched a rush attack on Chelsea, with great thoughts of dampening Chelsea's spirit.

After all, this is Chelsea's first game, so the Blues are also focused on safety and are not in a hurry.

"William, be careful Owen. ”

Husky began to retreat, Terry followed, but Owen cut in from behind, and Van der Sar immediately alerted Gallas.

But this time, Liverpool didn't time the pass well, and Owen sprinted for nothing.

"Paul, keep an eye on Diouf. ”

Van der Sar noticed that Diouf and Owen had stepped forward at about the same time, but he was stuck to the left.

It all seemed premeditated.

Van der Sar is very experienced and focused, always watching the game.

Liverpool's probing has finally created an opportunity.

In the second minute, Huskey stepped back, received a pass from his teammate, and made a wall pass back to Murphy, who didn't stop the ball and went straight behind him, and Irving sprinted forward at breakneck speed.

The sudden opportunity made Anfield boil.

But at the critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly made a decisive attack, rushed to the front of the big penalty area, grabbed before Owen, and cleared the ball with a big kick.

Gallas, who was chasing after Owen, nodded at Van der Sar, secretly rejoicing.

If Irving had fought back just now, he would have been the team's number one sinner.

But Liverpool were willing to stop there, and soon regrouped and returned to the Chelsea half.

Again, it was Husky who dropped back, but this time he crossed directly to the left, where Diouf used his speed to force a break through Ferreira's cross, which was easily picked off by Van der Sar near the penalty spot.

Like a fox, Owen tried to force Van der Sar to get out, but he couldn't.

The two chances were frozen by Van der Sar himself, and Owen also looked unwilling.

But Van der Sar ignored him and instead shouted at his teammates, demanding that they all press up.

Kick-off with a big foot, that's Van der Sar's forte.

was suppressed by the opponent for a few minutes in a row, and Chelsea also held their breath up and down, and when they saw Van der Sar shouting like this, they immediately pressed forward in unison.

There was only a thud, and the ball was quickly kicked out of the penalty area, quickly across most of the pitch, and fell to Liverpool's position, and as if premeditated, Ibrahimovic got stuck early.

As soon as the ball arrived, he headed his head back into the midfield.

Deco, Ronaldinho, Deco, Makelele, Veron......

The ball was passed back and forth, all with a quick and concise touch, so that the Liverpool players wanted to get close and grab it, but they couldn't get in time, and could only watch the ball go back and forth in the crowd.

Eventually, the ball fell to John Terry and Liverpool gave up pressing in midfield.

They also have to think about their physical exertion, if they continue to chase the ball like this, I am afraid that before they can grab the ball, they will already be caught by Chelsea to score first.

However, Chelsea are still in no hurry, still focusing on consolidating their possession and playing very patiently.

"Good, good, take your time, don't rush. ”

Gao Han applauded on the sidelines, conveying his meaning to the players on the field.

It's been almost ten minutes since the start, and now it's only now that the ball is secured, Liverpool's motivation really doesn't have to be said.

"What an untamable beast!" Gao Han praised.

From the beginning of the game to the present, it was intense, but it was not exciting enough, and Chelsea had a lot of problems of their own, especially the mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, which still failed to meet the requirements of the high cold.

But this is not in a hurry, but as the season deepens, the players gradually develop a tacit understanding, and I believe it will improve.

As Chelsea stabilized possession, Gao Han gradually observed centre-back John Terry.

In the end, he was born in midfield, Terry's ability to take the ball and play the ball is very good, and he can effectively become an important contact point for the team when the team has the ball, plus Gallas and Van der Sar behind him, Chelsea's entire central and defensive control is still very reassuring.

What's even more rare is that Terry didn't fall behind at all when defending against Husky, and even curbed Hesky's play many times, showing his own defensive ability, and in time, he will definitely become the banner of Chelsea's backline.

"It's a central defender with a potential of 180. ”

Before taking charge of Chelsea, Gao Han had already swept through the situation of the Chelsea players with a keen eye.

As one of the team's captains, John Terry has a potential of 180, the most promising centre-back Gao Han has ever coached, just five points less than AC Milan's Nesta and Inter Milan's Cannavaro, and on par with Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand.

But John Terry is younger, so he is slightly inferior to Rio Ferdinand's 170, only 160, but this strength is enough for him to establish himself in the Premier League.

As for the other central defender, Gallas, who has a potential of 175 and a strength of 165, is also quite good.

Gao Han also has high hopes for the two central defenders under his command, and he is confident that they can be trained into the strongest central defender combination in the Premier League and even in Europe, and become an impregnable wall in Chelsea's backline.

"I really didn't expect that in just two months, Chelsea's passing control played well. ”

Andy Gray was impressed with Chelsea's performance after securing possession.

"yes, it looks like Atletico Madrid, but the formation is different. "Martin Taylor thinks it's good, too.

Atletico Madrid's style of play is very ornamental, and it is very fond of aggressive attacking football, which is very pleasing to fans.

It should be said that Atletico Madrid pays more attention to advancing in the middle, but judging from Chelsea's arrangement, Ronaldinho is deployed on the left, Eto'o plays on the right, and Ibrahimovic is in the middle, which is obviously focusing on the attacking style of play on both wings. ”

Andy Gray's analysis was immediately echoed by Martin Taylor.

"And if you look at the midfield, Deco and Veron are both in a higher position, with a lot of range of movement, both players are very active, plus Makelele is behind him, which greatly distributes the defensive pressure in the midfield, so Deco and Veron can have more energy to put into organization and attack. ”

Martin Taylor affirmed: "It must have been a good arrangement by the high cold. ”

When I was talking about this, I saw that on the field, Chelsea's backfield took the ball and passed to the front, and it was Ibrahimovic who grabbed the first landing point, and the Swedish center's frontcourt fulcrum role was very obvious.

"Tsk, Ibrahimovic is really strong, against Hyypia and Hendjoz, and he is not left behind at all. ”

'Yes, it wasn't particularly obvious when I was at Ajax, but now it looks like the physicality is really good. ”

'Now Chelsea were able to take the first point, but the next attack was never organised. ”

"Well, look at how Gao Han has adjusted. ”

…………

"Eh, don't you think those two guys are a little weird?"

Gao Han asked strangely, pointing to Ibrahimovic and Eto'o on the pitch.

Cantarero and Emery next to him both nodded in agreement.

Sergio Garcia spoke with statistics, "So far in this game, there have only been two passes between them, and they have been passed under duress. ”

It's already obvious that there is something wrong with these two guys.

"What's going on?" Gao Han asked his assistant.

But everyone is also confused.

Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are both very characterful people, or rather, a little weird, a little arrogant, so even if they have something in their hearts, they will hide it and not say it, and naturally no one knows.

The offensive trident in the front court is just those three people, and the two of them don't get along with each other, so what a fart?

But the two don't look like they're feuding, and I don't see any conflict between them during training on weekdays.

Gao Han shook his head and sighed, bluntly saying that he didn't understand.

'We have to step up our second attack. Cantarero reminded.

Unai Emery suggested on the sidelines: "Why don't you let the midfielder get forward more?"

Gao Han nodded.

Liverpool's current problem is that between the back line and the midfield, there is a lack of a stable midfielder, and neither Murphy nor Biscayne can effectively protect the defence, which has become Liverpool's biggest hidden danger.

It is estimated that because of this, Liverpool will not win in 11 consecutive rounds in the absence of Hamann last season.

Now, if Chelsea want to break down the Reds, they have to take advantage of that area.

Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately walked to the sidelines and gestured towards Deco.

He and Deco have worked together at Atletico Madrid for two years, and they know each other well, and as soon as he gestures, Deco immediately understands.

At the same time, Gao Han also called Ronaldinho nearby and asked him to hold the ball more, preferably using his personal ability, trying more breakthroughs or cutting inside, which is what the Brazilian is good at.

After sending off Ronaldinho, Gao Han entered the coaching system.

'Five-star attacking card activated, target: Samuel Eto'o. ”

"Five-star assault card activation, target: Ronaldinho. ”

"Successfully activated the combo card effect, and it improved by leaps and bounds. ”

With the two five-star skill cards put into use, Chelsea's attack immediately became more threatening, especially Ronaldinho, who was on the left, began to frequently use his personal ability to carry the ball, like a dragon in the front, causing Liverpool's defense to be a mess.

Neither Carragher, nor Hendjoz nor Biscayne could stop the Brazilian wizard of the pitch.

Until the twenty-seventh minute......
