Defensive counterattack, this tactical style of play has always been the magic weapon for a weak team to play a strong team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the case of a strong team, this style of play is smart. Solid defense makes the backfield large and small, leaving little room for the opponent to play, and the defensive players can defend effectively in short distances. Although they seem to be under a lot of psychological pressure, they can effectively save energy and at the same time effectively attract the opponent to continue to attack.

When the attackers are not numerically superior, it is difficult for them to break through the dense defense, and once they devote more troops to the attack, it is natural that there is an emptiness in the backfield. In such a situation, once the defender breaks the ball, the defensive formation will immediately become an offensive formation, and in an instant the situation of the number of people in the front court will be superior, and the opponent will be dealt a fatal blow.

But nowadays, this tactical style of play is not as good as the patent of the weak team.

This tactic is also used by many strong teams, such as Italy, such as Chelsea.

If Italy has taken defense to the extreme, then Mourinho has taken the defensive counterattack to a new level. From Porto's treble to Chelsea's two consecutive Premier League titles, he has always adhered to a counter-attacking style of play. The luxurious line-up, top-notch configuration, and unique personal charm allow the players to execute his tactical intentions very consistently in the game. The injection of iron and blood spirit makes his team have a strong fighting will and tenacity. Even the major European giants will have a headache when they meet Mourinho's team. Because when they want to break through the dense defense, they have to watch out for their sharp counterattacks.

Mikel's goal upset the balance on the pitch and while celebrating the goal frantically, Mourinho did not forget to remind his players to change formations and strengthen their defence. In his dictionary, there is no big difference between 1-0 and 10-0.

As soon as the game resumed, Chelsea retreated, hugging in front of the 30-metre zone, forming two tight defences, with centre-forwards such as Didier Drogba being pulled into the backfield to participate in the defence, while Joe Cole and Wright Phillips basically became the team's two wing-backs.

In the face of a tightly defended Chelsea, although Manchester United was eager to attack and equalize, but when attacking, they had to watch out for Chelsea's counterattack, once Chelsea scored a goal again, their situation will be more passive. Therefore, with the small investment of offensive forces, their offensive achieved little effect.

The one-sided battle took place at the new Wembley Stadium, and if it weren't for the scoreline on the big screen to remind the crowd, one would have thought that Chelsea would have been powerless to fight back against Manchester United's onslaught.

"Ah...... Well, the first half of the game has come to the thirtieth minute, the score between the two sides is still 1-0, under the strict defense of Chelsea, Manchester United still has not been able to get a chance! Whew, this is simply killing the art of football! ”

Martin Taylor sat in the commentary box and almost fell asleep, yawned and rubbed his eyes before continuing to watch the boring game.

"Well, we see Ferguson standing helplessly on the sidelines, maybe breaking the dense defense is a worldwide problem!"

Several magic weapons to break the dense defense, long shots, breakthroughs, set-pieces, and side-center combinations.

Ferguson certainly knows it, and the United players know that they've been attacking in this way for some time now. They have tried the tactics of long-range shots, breakthroughs, set-pieces, and side-to-center combinations meticulously. However, long-range shots were blocked by their players with their bodies, set-pieces were generally far away from goal, and breakthroughs were generally caught in the opposition's double and multi-player packs in the absence of receiving and support. As for the combination of the side and the middle, it can't even open the breakthrough point, so how can we talk about the combination of the side and the middle?

After looking at the time, Ferguson made a gesture of pressing forward.

'Manchester United are finally starting to step up their attack, Ferguson should have done it a long time ago, maybe they have scored!'

A prolonged stalemate will not be good for Manchester United.

With fifteen minutes to go until the end of the first half, Alex Ferguson will be hoping for a powerful attack to tear apart Chelsea's defence.

With Ferguson's instructions, Patrice Evra and Brown, who were huddled at the back, immediately pressed forward. Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs themselves have to attract one or two or even three defenders, and the forward pressure of Brown and Patrice Evra, coupled with the support of Scholes and Carrick in the middle, can form a numerical advantage in the local area.

Manchester United, who attacked aggressively, soon formed a breakthrough in the front. After Ronaldo cut inside on the right to attract two defenders, he passed the ball to the side with the outside instep, and Brown, who came up with the assist, took two steps after receiving the ball and looked at the cross from inside the box. With a hint of spin, the ball got past Bridge, who was defending at the front post, and headed straight for the middle of the box.

Watching the ball go around Bridge, who was in front of him, Terry immediately made a judgment. As one of the world's top centre-backs, Terry has a very good sense of position, a very good judgment of where the ball lands, and an excellent physical and header ability, which makes him very capable of fighting for the top in the penalty area. After judging the landing point, Terry took an easy leap and flicked his head to clear the ball out of the box.

But Terry's clearance did not fly far and was directly controlled by Scholes.

Mikel and Makelle rushed towards Scholes one after the other.

Mikel, who scored a goal, was very active in the game, blocking Manchester United's long-range shots with his body many times. Seeing Scholes shoot from distance, he immediately jumped up and turned his back to block Scholes' shot with his body.

Seeing this, Scholes immediately dunked the ball, dodged Mikel, pushed the ball forward, adjusted and picked up his right leg again. At this time, following Mikel, the defending Makelele gently touched the ball like a dragonfly, and then quickly closed his feet. It was always Makelle who was quick to close his feet, but he still couldn't get past Scholes's feet, and Scholes kicked directly into Makellele's spikes and fell directly into the pitch.

"Damn it!"

Although the distance is a bit far, Ferguson, who is standing on the sidelines, can still see it more clearly.

With such a strong pump on the spikes, even with the protection of the sneakers, Scholes estimated that it would be difficult for him to continue playing.

After scolding secretly, Ferguson immediately called Yu Liang.

Yu Liang, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up and ran to Ferguson's side.

"I guess Paul won't be able to keep playing!"

Watching the slow-motion replay, the fans felt a pain in their flesh, let alone Scholes.

"Well, we've seen movement in front of Manchester United's bench! Man, your genius is coming! ”

"Oh, is it? Let's hope this little guy can bring us something different! (To be continued.) )
