Chapter 261: Retreating Organization
Chelsea now stand out in the Premier League, very dazzling in the technical and tactical encounters, how to limit Swansea, Kodic did not think about this problem, because they are strong, it is how Swansea can limit Chelsea, when Chelsea Jones was targeted, there was a countermeasure to significantly weaken Jones's attacking ability and strengthen the midfield defense.
Jones was the main source of limiting attack, but he wasn't the only or the main one being restricted, with Pedro and Segura in front of Swansea, but Chelsea's midfield was not attacking effectively.
Swansea invested key defensive forces on Jones's side, Qi Chengyong mainly assisted on this side, Carroll in the middle was also wary of Pedro's inward cut in the penalty area, and Bony approached the middle from the other side, combining Ayew in front of him, plus the returning striker Abraham, mainly limiting Chelsea's attack in the middle.
Jones has not had a good chance, so he retreated to the middle and began to do the team's organizational work, he observed the opponent and teammates, Chelsea's main team's offensive in the Premier League is playing well, and now he has not played for half a day, the reason is very simple, now half of the field is substitutes, and the cooperation is not as good as the main force, it seems that their skills are much worse, and the invincible offensive strength has been significantly reduced.
Chelsea's attack on the left, under Swansea's solid defence, did not have the effect of a hurricane crossing, but when Jones began to organise, he frequented the right flank with shells, allowing Segura to play frequently on the right flank, and then tried to create opportunities for Pedro.
After the first 15 minutes of the game, Chelsea also did not play a decent attack, and Swansea also played more and more confidently, they sealed Jones tightly, froze Segura's passing lane, Segura received the ball after frequent kick-to-start crosses on the perimeter, Segura was interfered with, Pedro either couldn't catch it, or received it in a hurry, and there was no chance to play a fast attack.
When Swansea thought they had fully adapted to Chelsea's attack, they knocked the magical players of the Chelsea squad out of the world, leaving the undefeated Kings of the Premier League with no way out, they didn't realise that Chelsea's organisational skills were becoming more and more proficient, and Jones, who had gone from striker to playmaker, was organizing this real attacking storm!
Jones doesn't stay on the ball for long periods of time, mostly with one kick that prevents Mawson and Van der Horn from breaking the ball from his feet, while he moves forward little by little, intensifying his back-to-back interaction with Moxie in the process.
He's offloading the organization and handing it over to Moxie! Obviously, they can get the ball up front, but Swansea have defended Chelsea's attacks on the right side time and time again, and Segura themselves have been unable to threaten in attack.
Resources must be maximized, and now the middle lane must be released forward, and when Jones moves forward step by step to contain Mawson and Van der Hoorn, the more space Moxi has to move forward! In the 31st minute of the game, Jones received a pass from Cahill and passed the ball to Mosxi with his heel, and he suddenly accelerated forward.
Van der Horn followed, and Mawson turned to follow Jones, but he had just run two steps and noticed that something was wrong! When Jones suddenly turned to the right side with a confident smile, behind the middle, Moxie took the ball to the front, and when Van der Horn didn't realize it, Mossi regretted it, Moxie had already dribbled into the danger zone in front of Swansea's goal!
Jones' backheel ball earned Mosxi a round of applause from the Chelsea fans, who were proud of the fact that Chelsea are now playing the most beautiful football in the Premier League, and Jones made it his own personal style this time, and Mosxi slid the ball into the danger zone in front of Swansea.
Olsson and Norton were in a tight match, Jones ran to the right at this time, and when he was passing Olsson, Moxie passed the ball to the outside of Jones's body, so that Norton could not form an interception, Jones did not stop the ball, and flicked the ball with the outside instep, and the trajectory of the football rolled, rolling to the feet of Segura, who was closer to the wing.
Then Jones changed the running line and went straight to the baseline, Olsson was thrown off in Jones's running direction, and Segura's through ball also arrived as expected, and Jones, who ran straight into the box from the wing, easily stepped into the Swansea penalty area.
Chelsea have been playing on the left side before, which has made Swansea's defense have a habitual left leaning, although this time Chelsea suddenly played on the right, Swansea had an instinctive adjustment, but finally slow!
It stands to reason that Jones shouldn't have stepped into the box so easily, even if he was sticking to the inside of the edge of the box, but in the box Jones could control the ball, which is dangerous!
Norton was so engrossed in keeping up with Jones' rhythm that he knew he had a lot of space with the centre-backs, and on the one hand, he was afraid that Chelsea players would run behind him, and if Jones would send a clever pass?
On the other hand, it's hard to limit Jones one-on-one! How many people defended Jones one-on-one, Jones made him suffer, and he also made a big fool! Jones now slowed down the tempo and broke through to the bottom line, Norton blocked diagonally and followed a step, but saw Jones suddenly stop the ball in place with his right foot, Norton tried his best to resist the urge to grab his foot, he knew that if he stepped forward, he would be passed by Jones.
But he didn't expect that after Jones's rhythm of stopping the ball with his right foot, he suddenly flicked the ball forward with his left foot, and then started the explosive acceleration again, Norton didn't know what to do even if his mind was clear at this time, at this time, there was a gap between his legs, and Jones's left-footed pluck was to pass the ball under his crotch!
I was worn through the crotch! It was too late for Norton to turn around and go to the slot, Jones was almost in a parallel position, and the moment the two sides made physical contact, Norton was shocked: this kid is really not in vain!
Seeing that he was about to be wiped by Jones, Norton lost his cool and tried to tackle the ball to destroy the ball that was slowly rolling behind him, but he forgot that Jones was fighting him physically, and when his body center of gravity changed to complete the tackle, Jones's confrontation had the absolute upper hand.
Norton originally thought that his foot could touch the ball, but after Jones took the initiative to squeeze him and overtake him one step earlier, his tackle action did not work as well as it should, and his toes could not reach the football, but could only hook Jones's calf!
Jones didn't fall to the ground for the first time, but staggered forward two steps before falling, and the football was kicked away by Fabianski, and at that moment, the referee's whistle sounded!
The Swansea players will turn their heads to look at the referee and see the referee raise his hand and point to the penalty spot in the Swansea penalty area!
