Chapter 210: New Tactics
Now he followed Kodic's instructions to play the ball simply, and after receiving the ball from Cesc Fabregas, he went directly to the middle before the opponent stepped up, or played a long pass to the right wing, Hazard received the ball and went straight to the bottom, pulling the opponent's defence out of the box and then getting up and crossing.
The combination of Costa and Jones in the penalty area can be said to be one of the best on the planet, and the two will not hesitate after receiving the ball, usually facing the goalkeeper to shoot directly, and when they are blocked, the other person will grab the second drop point to make up for the shot.
In an instant, Roma's goal was in a hurry, and several defenders were constantly blocking, and goalkeeper Alisson tensed all his mind during this time, and saved several balls in the goal frame with high and low blocks.
Sometimes, simplicity has simple benefits, after this period of play, Jones has more understanding of the role of the core on the field, and in the following period of time he has become more and more comfortable with the organization of the attack and the scheduling of players, which makes Kodic on the sidelines very satisfied.
In the face of Chelsea's direct attack after the opening, Roma also continued to pile up players in their own half under the arrangement of manager Eusebio, using the number of people to interrupt Chelsea's wide crosses and through balls in the middle.
But at this time, Jones suddenly had a flash of inspiration, changed his previous simple style, began to retreat to the midfield to control the ball, and used a special pass in the middle to mobilize the opponent's defense.
Jones did not hesitate at all when it was time to be flexible, for the accurate judgment of the situation on the field, this kid is a natural player, Kodic is more and more satisfied with Jones, although he is still young, but he believes that Jones's future is brilliant.
Just as Kodic was thinking so, Chelsea finally scored a goal under the continuous penetration of cooperation, and it was the combination of Fabregas, Costa and Jones.
Jones received the ball and began to move closer to the left, and then distributed the ball to the feet of Costa outside the box, and then Costa kept the ball and passed it back with his heel, and Fabregas, who had completed the switch with Jones, received the ball in the middle and shot at the goal, causing the opposing defender to block the ball before dunking it back, and then passed to Jones's feet.
Jones then tucked the ball straight into the box, Costa again split the ball down the middle, and the inserted Cesc Fabregas fired straight into the near corner, Alisson fell a step slower and the ball rolled straight under him into the goal.
"Wonderful, three Chelsea players were dazzling on the left side of the flank and went straight through Roma's left flank, Cesc Fabregas's last-minute push, without any defenders blocking it, easily singled out Alisson and scored into the net, which was also Cesc Fabregas's second goal of the season!."
Chelsea's commentator was very excited after the goal was scored, such a wonderful combination to tear apart the opponent's defense after the goal is uncommon, the scene followed the team to cheer loudly, they are all die-hard Chelsea fans, for the team's gorgeous combination of goals naturally want to cheer wildly.
However, the fans cheered, the Roma manager was not happy, after all, it was his team that was behind, but he couldn't do anything about the goal, Jesús on the left was lost his position by Jones and Fabregas, and then Costa's two catches attracted the attention of the two central defenders in the penalty area, and if Fabregas did not enter in the face of the goalkeeper, he would think that he was the golden boy of Spain.
Koudic on the sidelines clenched his fist fiercely after scoring the goal, he was naturally very excited, after all, the Champions League game is best not to lose, one goal lead, then the next game is easy to play, after a goal lead, Jones glanced at the sidelines, sure enough, Kodic began to signal him to play freely.
Jones also likes to run freely on the field, he used to only move on the left side, and now he has more opportunities to play after he is free, and the gorgeous attack in the front court is his favorite, but who made him not a coach, so Jones didn't say anything before, and now Kodic finally began to consciously let Jones control freely on the field, and his position as a left winger began to blur, and he swept and intercepted with Costa Hazard Fabregas four at the front of the penalty area.
And after conceding the goal, Roma did not blindly attack, but from the original dead defense into a steady positional battle, and just like Chelsea just now, pay attention to efficiency after controlling the ball, and constantly pass and receive the ball to mobilize Chelsea's defense, but Cahill and Kante's defensive ability is there, the two of them grabbed a fill-up position, and immediately intercepted a pass from the opponent at the edge of the penalty area.
After Cahill broke the ball, he looked up and observed, and immediately pumped the ball with the outside of his instep, and played a counterattack with a long pass, but his long pass accuracy still can't be compared with Jones, although the outside of the instep is not outrageous, but Costa was very reluctant to receive it, and was stabbed off by the opponent's defender.
With a sigh, Cahill knew he wasn't at the end of his game, but that's why he's a defender.
The next two sides played a tacit positional battle, Cahill and Kante protected the front of the penalty area very well, occasionally missed the past, and was also blocked by the concentrated backline, and by the end of the first half, Courtois had not yet made a save.
At the end of the first half, at half-time, Kodic was very satisfied to praise the back line for not making mistakes, allowing them to continue in the second half, but as soon as the second half began, Kodic directly regretted not scolding them at half-time, because Chelsea conceded a goal in the first minute.
De Rossi won the ball in front of the field and sent a precise diagonal long pass, Dzeko received the ball and volleyed it directly, the ball was of high quality, straight into the corner of the goal, Courtois did not move in the first half, although the body reacted in time, but it was still a step too late.
1-1 Marma equalized the score, and Dzeko, who scored a goal, happily ran to the fans, slid and was stopped by his teammates chasing after him to celebrate.
Jones didn't know what to say about the goal he conceded, this kind of world wave really can't blame anyone, only his own bad life, this kind of ball can be met by his own team.
But now thinking about how to score again, thinking of this, Jones did not need Kodic's instructions, and began to retreat again to organize the attack, and this time Roma did not defend stubbornly, but was very active and Chelsea began to attack, which caught Jones a little off guard, and the midfield of both sides suddenly became fierce, during which Roma broke through Cahill and Kante's interceptions several times and sent the ball to the feet of the two strikers.
