Chapter Seventy-One: Confident Suppression
In the face of Villa's unreasonable aggressiveness, Chelsea's left side was beaten passively, and the attack was completely devoid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Antonio Conte is the Italian coach and made quick changes, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill switching positions under his command, and N'Golo Kante also strengthening his defence on the left. It wasn't that Chelsea didn't see a powerful attack on the right last season, but they hadn't seen such an unreasonable Dembele, not to mention that there was a winger-turned-Henrichs behind him, and the duo played their best ten minutes since the summer training camp.
The breathless Chelsea began to launch their classic counter-attack tactics, their attack only needs 2-3 people to complete, Hazard's sense of rhythm is really good, Weigel, who is usually very calm and generally does not eat action, has been shaken twice by him, fortunately, Van Dijk defended Costa well, it was difficult for him to find a comfortable receiving position, and did not form a connection with Hazard, not to mention that there was a fox-like Vallejo in the back at any time to fill the position, Hazard simply chose to do it alone, With his superhuman strength, he played well on the left side, and on the other side there was a "Sabre" that was ready to respond to the cunning rabbit.
Chelsea's counter-attack worked so hard that Petrov shouted from the sidelines: "Henrichs, come back quickly!" Don't take your feet lightly and hold his breakthrough line! ā
It is the first time for the Villa team to face such a superstar with super ball-holding ability, fortunately, they are all mature and calm players with a high ball quotient, and it is really difficult to prevent it by relying on prediction and co-defense, and with brain defense, Hazard was gradually restricted, and Costa, a short-tempered and tall Van Dijk, did not distinguish between the superior and the superior for the time being, and the help for Hazard was temporarily limited.
Isco, as a pseudo-winger, takes the ball more and cuts to the middle, and the left side is basically the mutual explosion of Amavi and Moses, compared to Moses is stronger, in fact, Amavi's strength is not weak, and it is only relative to Moses's monster body, and Amavi is faster and more agile, and the bounce is better, there is no problem with eating Cahill raw, poor old Ka ran to the right and met a person who loves drag racing, fortunately, Moses' defensive enthusiasm is very good, and there is no trouble here for the time being.
Isco and Antoine Griezmann's connection was once interfered with by super midfielder N'Golo Kante, but the two changed their style of play, frequent changes and extensive crossovers made Kante a little embarrassed, and the timely addition of long-legged Nzunzi to the team, even if Nemanja Matic came over, it would be difficult to solve Chelsea's current midfield loss situation. The only few games in which Kante didn't play well last season were against black and hard long legs, such as Tottenham's Wanyama, who exploded Kante last season, after all, his height shortcoming was there, the Frenchman was only 1.69 meters tall, and it was completely by relying on a huge running area and excellent prediction to reach that level.
It can be said that Kante's performance in this game is abnormal, and there may be a fate on the court, the invincible Carter is really afraid that his long legs are black and hard, although he is also black and hard enough. Of course, this can't be generalized, if any long leg can restrain him, he will not reach today's height, however, he really points back today, in addition to Wan Yama, he met another one, you must know that when Enzongqi was not enlightened, he was jokingly called by the fans when he was in the "potter" Stoke City, and he was a ruthless man who made the Liverpool midfielder vomit blood, and after going to Sevilla, he developed the skills of ball control and dispatch, but how can the old bank forget. Nzongzi is a gem that Li Haolong has found, and experts even believe that he is the most underrated defender in world football at the moment, and the Villa team only spent 16 million pounds at the beginning, and now it seems that it is really a big bargain.
The game is still going according to the situation on the field, the Villa midfielder currently has the upper hand, forming a temporary suppression, the new team's sharpness is on display, according to this momentum, the fans on the scene also feel that the Villa team scores a goal is only a matter of time, and the facts have proved that the eyes of the masses are bright, and the game is 37 minutes into the game, Isco attracted Cahill and Luiz to defend the bag, and made an incredible 360-degree pull ball on the spot with his heel knock, and the ball passed through the two Cahill files, Tearing apart Chelsea's defense, Griezmann, who has been cruising nearby, cleverly caught the fighter into the penalty area, to say that Moses's speed is really fast, and he is about to make up for the defense in place, Griezmann knew his advance, did not take it forward, shook his ankle, rubbed out an arc, just bypassed Courtois, who attacked, and went straight to the right corner of the goal. The ball speed is not fast, and even everyone still has time to marvel at its spin, but this amplitude and angle are really tricky. Griezmann's rubbing! Ball in! Atkinson whistled and pointed to the middle circle, it worked! It was also Antoine Griezmann's first official goal for Villa, and he was a little silent in the first half against the backdrop of waves of attacks from both sides, but the value of the superstar is there, and no one can ignore his presence.
The young Villa team suppressed the Premier League champion Chelsea at half this is no one could have imagined, last season a lot of fast-paced teams played with Chelsea, were resolved by his Tai Chi style defense, and then with his unique rhythm to kill the opponent, objectively speaking, although Chelsea also has fast horses, but the overall rhythm of the team is still slow.
Everyone knows the truth of striking while the iron is hot, the Villa team launched a frantic attack on Chelsea in the remaining 8 minutes, even if the passionate coach Conte jumped and roared, Chelsea could not reverse the decline, and in half-time stoppage time, Dembele seized the opportunity to cross the bottom, Alario risked being kicked in the head by Luis and jumped to the top, and Luiz, who turned to make up for the defense, was very awkward because of his bad position, and unfortunately kicked empty, which completed Alario's amazing work, and this time the defensive leakage was due to Matic.
Entering the second half with a 2-0 advantage was undoubtedly a huge encouragement for the Villa team, but at halftime, Li Haolong still sounded the alarm bell for the players.
'If you think it's the level of the Premier League title and look down on the Premier League, you're going to suffer, and if you don't believe you can ask Virgil van Dijk what kind of existence Chelsea are.
'Yes, Chelsea are so good at self-regulation that I remember last season they reversed a lot of games, otherwise they wouldn't have won the title.
"Never despise the opponent because of the lead, sympathize with the opponent, we must give them a good time, no mercy, and not because this is a charity game, we have to kill them in the second half, do you have confidence!"
"Yes!" The locker room erupted in the young lads' passionate declarations of battle.
