Chapter 187: Intermission

Watward's entire formation almost swept through the half, and there was almost no one in the large open area at the back, and all but two centre-backs had pressed into the Chelsea half, constantly attacking back and forth, and they didn't have much attacking means.

It's nothing more than constantly playing two wings with players, creating opportunities for the strikers in the box after forming an impact on the wings, and this is the tactic that their team is most familiar with.

Since this kind of offensive tactics are the best at themselves, but now Chelsea's players are also very experienced in dealing with it, and Chelsea's center-back combination is very suitable to deal with this kind of attack, Cahill is there to grab the point in the air, he is a typical English central defender, although the turn is slow, but the ability to judge the landing point and compete for the first point is very good, Luberg is more flexible, and his courage also allows him to never show weakness when competing for the first landing point.

Watford had a lot of crosses, but most of them failed to form a goal, some flew to the other side, some flew off the line, and some returned to the edge of the Watford box.

Originally, this kind of ball would have been an opportunity for Chelsea to launch a counterattack, but unlike before, whenever the football flew out of the penalty area and fell to the feet of Chelsea players, the Watford players did not defend back, but frantically launched a rush in the frontcourt!

At this time, Watford's half had a large gap in the field, but their pressing did not give the Chelsea players even time to make long passes, and in this case, most of the Chelsea players opted to pass the ball directly to the more reliable Jones.

Jones didn't disappoint them either, and although he wasn't involved defensively, Jones was always in their sight when they had the ball.

However, this caused Jones huge problems, and even though it was in his own half, Jones was always forced by at least two people! And these guys are all very moving, as long as Jones controls the ball, they will immediately rush up and foul Jones!

The referee blew the whistle in Chelsea's half, but it wasn't them who fouled, it was Watford!

"What the hell!" Jones got up from the ground depressed, as soon as he got the ball, he was pushed by the opponent to chew the mud, although he won a free kick at the back, but this free kick could not be counterattacked.

"These guys, have you moved the battlefield forward?" Jones thought back to what had just happened, and then he sensed the other party's intentions.

"Joke, is that going to stop us from attacking?"

Jones' brain is very flexible, he has to think about the opponent's flaws at all times, and he quickly thinks of a solution to this kind of frontcourt pressing tactic.

The specific implementation of this kind of frontcourt pressure is similar to the previous opponent's style of play of heavily arming in the backcourt and focusing on guarding themselves so as not to allow themselves to have time to possess the ball, except that the battlefield has changed from the opponent's half to the own half.

The opponents I met this season used this method to deal with me, and then my solution was to use a quick kick to get rid of the opponent's pinch, so that the opponent's pinching became useless.

Now this situation seems to be completely solved in this way, Jones laughed when he thought of this.

No matter how many people on the pitch are, it is impossible to fill such a huge stadium space, even if all 22 people on both sides are in the half, it is impossible for people to be crowded, at most it will be in one place, as long as you observe the position of your teammates before receiving the ball, it is completely possible to kick the ball.

Watford's next attack was successfully defended by Chelsea, and Chelsea launched a counter-attack, and Fabregas, who got the ball, didn't think twice and passed directly to Jones.

Jones watched three passes before receiving the ball, and when two Watford players came at him, Jones poked the ball with his toe and stabbed the ball directly to Costa in front of him!

The Watford players were stunned at the same time, and Jones took the opportunity to rush out between the two men and then receive a return pass from Costa.

"Back to the defense-" Watford manager Silva shouted loudly from the sidelines, and the Watford players ran desperately into their own half, which was enough to stop the Chelsea attack.

After seeing the next two times Jones catch the ball, both of which were passed with his foot and then touched, Silva knew that his tactical plan was in vain.

The problem is that Silva didn't think about it, there was such a situation, but first formulated a response to Chelsea's three strikers have been attacking, and now Jones is making his own judgment on the ball!

Observing himself from the sidelines, it was not easy to come up with a tactic against the surname Jones, and Jones played on the field, but he came up with a response so quickly, and the reaction of this genius was too exaggerated!

Thinking about this, Silva felt a little chilly, although it was not very cold yet, and in the heat of the game, the players often couldn't think too much, they just did things on the pitch according to instinct and the tactics that the coach had laid out before the game.

And in this situation, the players who can keep a cool head and make accurate judgments are often the players who have the temperament of leaders on the field, because they can lead the team out of the situation with the most direct senses!

It's much harder to be a manager on the pitch than a manager off the pitch! With such a player in the opposing team, do we still have a chance to win?

They changed their tactics for a while, and they caused us some problems with the tactics of pressing in front, but now I think that their tactics can no longer pose much of a threat to us!

At half-time, Chelsea were already 3-1 up, and in the dressing room, Kodic looked at the players with a smile: "You guys are doing well, but the best performance is Jones. ”

After hearing Kodic say this, the other players all looked at Jones at the same time, and then nodded at the same time.

Silva said: "If they continue to press up front, everybody has to pay attention to Jones' movements and try not to make mistakes when they get his passes! The essence of pressing in the front court is to break the ball and attack again when the opponent is not on a stable footing. ”

Kodic also said: "As long as we don't get the ball cut off by them, even if we push slowly, the advantage is on our side!" ”

Kodic continued: "Since they want to compete with us to see who has the better offense, then let's compete with them!" Let's see if they score more goals or if we score more! ”

Kodic's words were confident and a little arrogant, but they were unusually in line with the appetite of the Chelsea players, and it was because of these words that the tone of the game was set.
