Chapter Seventy-Three: A Small Victory

However, in the face of these three choices, Wang Shuai did not choose any of them, because the green arrow, which represents the best passing route, passed through Wu Shi at the moment and pointed to the upper left corner of the penalty area. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In previous games, there have also been cases where the indicator arrows did not match the situation that Wang Shuai saw, and a series of facts have proved that the system cannot be wrong. So Wang Shuai didn't think much about it, and directly passed the request in the direction of the arrow.

Wu Shi, who was next to the arc of the penalty area, thought that the ball was passed to him, but immediately found that Wang Shuai's pass was too strong, so he subconsciously parted his legs slightly and leaked the ball.

It was only then that Wang Shuai discovered the intention of the passing indicator arrow.

Laurie had stepped forward.

If this is in a football game, or from the audience, you can clearly see the connection between Wang Shuai and Laurie. But on the field, even on the bench of the coach's bench on the sidelines, this cooperation will not be seen because of the obstruction of the line of sight.

Therefore, when the football passed between Wu Shi's feet, everyone also noticed Laurie's figure.

This time, the mood of the players of the two teams is completely different. What Villa was thinking was that the ball was really good. And Chelsea's side ...... it, it's leaking!

Yes, Chelsea missed the defence, and Laurie was like a sharp knife into the Blues penalty area. Chelsea are playing a chain defence, which is a good way to contain Villa's possession. However, while chain defense can act like a net to keep offensive players out of the line, once someone breaks through the net, it will disrupt the whole line.

After discovering that Laurie was missing, the central defender who was responsible for guarding Wu Shi had to step forward to make up for it, and in order to make up for Wu Shi's vacancy, the defender who was marking Ibrahimovic also began to move. So, Laurie pulled the entire Blues defence to the left of the penalty area, and he sent a low ball from a tight angle before the opponent could make up the defense, and the ball went around Wu Shi again and came in front of Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic was on the right side of the penalty area, and he was completely unguarded, even the goalkeeper was still on the left side of the goal. So, Ibrahimovic calmly pushed in the face of the empty goal.

Brush!

1:0!

Villa took the lead first.

……

In the commentary room of Old Lang, Yu Dong was stunned when he watched the goal replay.

"Wang Shuai's ball, the pass is simply incredible. You may not be able to see anything from the perspective of the camera, but if you substitute into Wang Shuai's position, you will find that he can't see Laurie at all, and in this case, he can pass this accurate direct pass, which is really incredible.

If it is not bad, with Wang Shuai's pass, Villa's goal will definitely be selected as one of the top ten goals this season. ”

Just like Yu Dong, everyone doesn't know how Wang Shuai sent the ball to Laurie's feet. Chelsea's side asked themselves if they were doing something wrong defending, and at that time Lowry's position did not need to be defended at all, as these defenders saw, Wang Shuai could not have seen this passing route at all.

But in fact, Wang Shuai only saw a passing route, and before Laurie received the ball, Wang Shuai didn't even know who the pass target was. And in this case, it is also destined that this ball cannot be copied, and even Wang Shuai himself cannot be copied. Because when neither side can see each other, it can only be said that Laurie's movement can match the best passing route, which can only be said to be too coincidental.

And Wang Shuai can't let his teammates deliberately run to a place where their vision is blocked, because as I said just now, when both sides can't see each other, not every run can hit the best passing route, and this probability is too low.

Even so, Chelsea are really uncomfortable right now.

The first is to be a goal behind for the time being.

It was the final game of the final round of the first half and Chelsea are now one point behind Manchester City with a game in hand, provisionally sitting fourth in the table. And because of this season's Chelsea, the attacking side has not played as much as it should, resulting in Chelsea's goal difference at an absolute disadvantage in the top teams of the standings. So even if this game is drawn, Chelsea will not move further in the rankings. Therefore, Chelsea have only one goal for this game, and that is to get all three points. Sadly, it was Villa's home stadium and Chelsea are now one goal behind and they are getting further and further away from their goal.

The second is Villa's tactical suppression.

Chelsea are keen to counter-attack, but they are a defensive-minded team after all, and with Flick's 'poor form', the team can't find a single person with excellent possession of the ball, which has led to Villa's pressing tactics up front, and Chelsea are rarely able to control the ball over the halfway line. The few attacks that controlled the ball up front also failed because of Villa's solid defence. This means that Chelsea now have no hope of equalising, let alone overtaking.

The only good thing is that Chelsea have done a good job defendingly. After the "blind cat meets dead mouse" pass of Wang Shuai and Laurie before reappearing, Villa did not have a good way to deal with Chelsea's chain defence. Although Villa kept possession above 60 per cent in the second half, it was useless to attack with a high frequency when they could not break the defence.

In this situation, when both sides could not pose a threat to the opponent's goal, the score was still 1:0 until the 70th minute of the game.

……

"Toot ~!"

With a dead-ball chance, both teams made personnel changes.

Chelsea, for their part, replaced Flick with a more aggressive midfielder, who had been inactive. The Blues boss's intentions are clear: to step up his attacking squad. With just 20 minutes remaining, the Chelsea boss was no longer thinking about winning the game, hoping only that with this substitution, his side would equalise.

It's just that Villa's substitution is destined to disappoint him, Wang Shuai replaced two people in one go, namely Ibrahimovic who scored a goal, and Lauri who completed an assist, and Greenhouse and Ribery were replaced. Such an adjustment undoubtedly shows that Villa will need to focus on defense again.

After Ibrahimovic left the field, Wu Shi alone could not complete the task of blocking the opponent's passing route, and the rhythm of the game was gradually controlled by Chelsea.

However, although Villa's pressing tactics up front no longer worked, their midfield defence was also strengthened, and Chelsea's attack suffered repeated setbacks. It seemed that the game was played with Chelsea holding Villa at bay, but the Blues still couldn't pose a threat to Villa's goal.

Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the stoppage time stage, and the fourth official raised a sign to indicate that there would be 3 minutes of stoppage time.

Chelsea are still in their final throes of the last 20 minutes, but they have not played an effective attack for the first 20 minutes, and they are not destined to succeed in the final moments.

"Toot ~! Honk~! Honk~~~!!! ”

With another big foot of Zhou Aniu destroying the ball out of the penalty area, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game. Villa won the last game of the first half of the season thanks to a goal from Ibrahimovic.
