Chapter 378: Wonderful Barb Volley
readx;
When everyone comes to Jose. When Jose Mourinho was in charge, he couldn't help but be labeled as a passivist football, whether he was in charge of Porto or Chelsea, in fact, both teams were very strong, but he always used negative defensive tactics. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
But don't think that Mourinho is really a conservative, it's just practical.
Even in last season's Portuguese Serie A, Porto were the top scorer with 17 more than second-placed Benfica, not to mention this season, and now Chelsea have broken the club's single-season scoring record and the most goals in Premier League history.
And now, not only Carlo Ancelotti on the pitch, but also some of their own fans in the stands are aware of the reason for Chelsea's passivity, and they are applying an old English tactic - long balls and hangings!!
In the 20th century, English football was the most popular era of 'long pass and hanging' play, but as Europe was invaded by South American football style, English teams have more or less absorbed the styles of some other countries, which has greatly increased the strength of the team and has been at the world-class level.
From this point of view, the 'long pass rushing and hanging' style of play is behind the times.
However, English clubs, and even the big clubs, still have some 'long passes' style of play, mainly because English players rely more on their bodies than on their skills. The better the team, the less obvious the style sticks.
This makes the vast majority of fans think that 'long pass rushing' is the backward style of play in football now.
In fact, the current long-pass punching crane has already broken through the limit and has developed greatly.
Now, the long pass rush is not only about 45 degrees left and right, to a greater extent, the team does not get the ball too much in the midfield in attack, and patiently gets offensive opportunities through the midfield pass, but directly drives to the opponent's half, and the attacking players fight to get the opportunity. Hanging the ball to the center of the penalty area at 45 degrees is more of a manifestation of the long pass rushing in the front court, and the long pass in the middle and back field is the main way of playing the long pass rush. In this way, teams with poor physical fitness and technique reduce the chance of passing, which also reduces the chance of mistakes, especially the danger of losing the ball in the midfield, and at the same time, strikers who want to be physically and mentally strong in the front court can get opportunities through active and continuous scrambles.
In fact, every team can't play one style of play forever, even some teams that are very particular about short pass coordination will occasionally play long passes a few times. And the passing master represented by Beckham is also very attractive for his long passes.
But it is undeniable that the bigger the clubs in European football, the stronger their technical style becomes, and the step-by-step tactics have become dominant, even for Chelsea.
This time, Mourinho did the opposite, allowing the team to return to England's 20th-century style of long-pass and hanging play, and also made many people in the audience fall through their glasses.
The same goes for Carlo Ancelotti.
Before the game, he thought about the tactics that Chelsea would use, and AC Milan were not afraid of Chelsea's attacking attack, but they chose to defend. However, with confidence in his team's backline, Carlo Ancelotti believes it will be difficult for the opposition to break through AC Milan's midfield defence no matter what tactics they use, and it will not be easy to get the ball to the edge of the box or into the box.
However, Chelsea actually gave up the entanglement with AC Milan in the midfield, chose to make a long pass, and then relied on Wang Li's personal skills to force the goal, which made Ancelotti can't help but think of a word - shameless!!
Very shameless!!
The Italian style of defense focuses on the area defense of the midfield and the backfield, so they are not afraid of the positional battle step by step, for example, the Spanish team and the Italian team play a game, and the Spanish style of football suffers very much.
And now, when the Italian-style defense meets the English-style rude football, they have also suffered.
You defend well in the midfield!? I'm going to give up that area, I'm not going to fight with you, we're going to go straight into the penalty area with a long pass. That's the shamelessness of Mourinho's tactics.
Of course, it is difficult to threaten the AC Milan goal, and the main reason for this is that the brunette on the field is too strong!!
Simple tactics like long passes and rushing rely more on the individual ability of the strikers, and the requirements for the midfielders are not high, as long as they can play a long pass. And Wang Li's personal ability is undoubted, although he is only one person, Ancelotti would rather face the combination of Drogba and Grunssen, because the strength of this black-haired boy is really inscrutable, which makes Ancelotti feel that the game is no longer in control.
And now Graham also knows why this game, Wayne. Bridget can replace William. Gallas played because the former had a passable long passing technique, which is extremely rare among defenders.
………… On the pitch, it looked like AC Milan still had the dominant advantage, with the football at their feet for the most of the time, and wave after wave of attacks overwhelmed the Chelsea defenders.
But as the game went on and the Chelsea players got into shape, Wang Li became active up front, and every once in a while, he was able to get the ball, and every time he got the ball, it was a tough test for the AC Milan defence. Now, whenever Wang Li gets the ball, the Blues fans in the stands cheer violently because they think Chelsea are close to scoring if they continue like this.
'Alan is finally starting to get his way, his kick threatens the AC Milan goal again, although it's a bit of a shame that he didn't score, but the shot is still beautiful, let's applaud and cheer for Chelsea!! Live narrator Creed. Peswar was also active, and he stirred up the crowd from time to time.
It was another AC Milan attack, and after a pass between Seedorf and Pirlo, the ball broke through the halfway line and went straight to the feet of Kaka.
I have to say, Kaka is indeed a football genius!
This time, in the position of the right side of the middle, Kaka did not pass the ball but quickly dribbled forward 30 meters, but at this time, he had to face the attack of three defenders, at the critical moment, Kaka flashed, a small angle of the outside of the right foot of the instep lightly, the football over the heads of two Chelsea defenders, flew into the penalty area, unfortunately, Shepchenko did not react at all, next to John. John Terry headed the ball straight out of the box.
Damien. Duff picked up the ball just outside the box and it was Chelsea's turn to counter-attack.
At this time, many AC Milan strikers had not yet come back to defend, so Duff was not in a hurry, but quickly carried forward, crossed the halfway line and met Gattuso, and passed the ball to Lampard.
"Pass here!!"
There was a shout from the front, and as soon as Frank Lampard, who had just received the ball, looked up and saw that Wang Li had thrown off two defenders on the penalty line and was running from right to left.
The moment he reacted, Frank Lampard got up and hoisted the ball straight into the box.
Wang Li ran back and forth, while turning his head to look at the trajectory of the football, facing the direction of the release and slowly moving into the penalty area, however, the ball was passed too forward, which made Wang Li suddenly jump into the air, there was no time to adjust, only symbolically with the top of the head, the ball turned a small angle, flew out from the crossbar, causing the audience to sigh regretfully.
“sorry! I kicked it just now. Taking advantage of the fact that AC Milan had not yet kicked off, Lampard stepped forward with a smile and said smirkedly.
Wang Li shook his head indifferently, patted Lampard on the shoulder and smiled: "This ball is a good pass, I made a mistake." ”
After thinking about it, Wang Li said: "Tell them that the point of passing is a little further back, you know, I prefer to shoot with my feet rather than heading." ”
"Haha......, ok!"
"Now we're the one behind and we have to equalize quickly." Wang Li looked at 0:1 on the scoreboard and said a little depressed.
………… However, Carlo Ancelotti will not let the tide of the game tilt in Chelsea's direction.
After some time after the game, the Italian couldn't help but get up and walked to the sidelines, commanding the team to shrink the defensive line, slow down the offensive intensity, and let the two main central defenders, Nesta and Stam, go specifically to defend Wang Li.
In this way, it is very difficult for Wang Li to be active in the backcourt.
Ancelotti's tactics are obviously aimed at Chelsea, Chelsea now only have Wang Li a single center forward, two wings, Robben and Duff will not attack too far forward, then AC Milan only needs to hold Wang Li's point, plus shrink the defensive line, which gives Chelsea space for long-distance passing, but at the same time, the space for close-range passes is greatly compressed, so that the accuracy of the pass will be sharply reduced.
Although the offensive intensity naturally weakened after the defensive line was contracted, but now AC Milan is leading 1-0, which is enough for an away game.
An away goal plus a win, what could be better than that!?
Ancelotti was content.
But Mourinho is clearly not content and if Chelsea can't score at Stamford Bridge, the next leg will definitely not be a good game, and there will be more media criticism of his tactical mistakes, Mourinho is a proud man, he will not allow that to happen.
Just five minutes after Carlo Ancelotti set up his tactics, seeing that Chelsea's attack was indeed not improving, the fourth official raised the substitution card: Scott. Parker Down, Didier. Drogba on.
Replacing a midfielder and a centre-forward, Mourinho's intentions are clear when comparing Chelsea's tactical set-up for this game.
Ivory Coast Monster came on the pitch to score goals!!
However, there is nothing Ancelotti can do about Mourinho's arrangement, the Portuguese's tactics are all conspiracy, what he is doing is even known to the fans in the audience, but if you want to crack this conspiracy, it is not easy, and it can even be said that there is no way.
Drogba's arrival greatly relieved the pressure of Wang Li to fight alone in the front court, so that after he got the ball, he could choose to pass the ball and shoot himself.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Chelsea's repeated long balls finally paid off.
Taking advantage of a throw-in, Duff tossed the ball with both hands to Frank Lampard, who in turn passed to Brigi, who was plugged in.
After AC Milan's contraction of defence, the pressure on the Chelsea players in central midfield was greatly eased, and Brigi, who had been a defender in the previous games, also had space to step in to help the team's attack.
After receiving the ball, Chelsea played a very beautiful pass near the halfway line, Lampard, Brigitte, Duff three consecutive passes, so that Gattuso, Seedorf, Maldini three tired, but also let the fans in the audience and all the media see that Chelsea not only play 'shameless' long pass rushing tactics, even this kind of small-scale cooperation, positional battles can also play well.
From this point, it can also be seen that in fact, the personal strength of Chelsea players is not bad for AC Milan, and the reason for passivity is only the restraint of the league style.
After many passes and catches, the ball was handed to Alkin on the left. At the feet of Robben, in the face of the defense of the Brazilian national team captain Cafu, the Dutch kid did not show a trace of cowardice, but broke through with a sudden change of direction, Cafu is old after all, and his speed and Robben are not comparable at all, which makes the beautiful Brazilian captain can only follow Luo himself.
The scene greatly boosted the confidence of the Chelsea players, and even Wang Li on the penalty line gave Robben a thumbs up.
"Fantastic and Dutch kid, he broke through Cafu, beautiful!!"
Although in the eyes of the audience, the Dutchman kid is infinitely beautiful, single-handedly galloping on the left side of AC Milan, but Robben himself knows that he can't stop at this time. Once stopped, the AC Milan defence took shape and he didn't even get a chance to pass the ball.
Of course, the players on the pitch could see this, and Drogba immediately ran out of the box to pick it up.
Under the pressure of the opponent, Robben skimmed the court with his right foot very cleverly, and the heel of his left foot suddenly knocked to pass the ball to Drogba.
However, Cafu has a lot of experience!!
The Brazilian captain knows that the only way for the Dutch kid in front of him to break through the defense is to pass, and the best option for passing the ball is Drogba, so no matter what Robben does at his feet, he doesn't look at it at all, just intercept his passing route, so Cafu stretches out his foot to block the ball path, and the ball changes direction and flies towards the sideline.
Robben's reaction was quick, and he kicked the ball back in an instant, but the ball was picked up by him, and by the time he reached Drogba, it was already a half-high ball.
At this time, Drogba was followed by Nesta.
The body squeezed Nesta hard, and Drogba had no choice but to stretch his foot on the path of the ball - the football bounced off into the penalty area!!
AC Milan has only one Chelsea player in the penalty area, and even the nearest Brigi is outside the penalty line!!
Stam and Pirlo followed closely to Wang Li's body, also staring at the pass, Wang Li was stuck in the middle of the two, and in the eyes of the fans, he had no chance at all.
At this moment, Pirlo was standing in front of Wang Li, waving his foot and preparing to break the siege with a big foot.
However, the next moment, under the incredible gaze of everyone in the audience, the brunette boy on the field used a very simple movement, between Stam and Pirlo, turned twice, and appeared in front of Pirlo.
Yes, very concise!!
Everyone in the audience who saw this scene felt this way.
The seventeenth style of Lingbo micro-step footwork 'Kun' word formula!!
This kind of footwork is completely staggered, that is, after taking this footwork, the speed is not fast, but the body shape appears erratic, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp the gap to attack, and it is a wonderful footwork for dodging. And this kind of footwork also has to cooperate with the operation of the body, every time the word 'kun' is used, the body must swing three times with the footwork of the footwork, which is the subtlety of the Lingbo micro step.
In the eyes of the fans in the audience, Wang Li did two simple things, but in fact, his body changed 3 times.
At this time on the court, Wang Li suddenly appeared in front of Pirlo, which startled Pirlo, he hurriedly stopped his foot, but now in the penalty area, directly kicking the player with his foot, will definitely be severely punished.
It's Stamford Bridge and Pirlo doesn't think the referee will favour AC Milan.
It's too late, it's fast, it's just a moment's thing, and when I turn my head and look at it again, the football is about to arrive in front of Wang Li.
But the opportunity is very good, but the height of the ball flight is not very good, the football just fell near Wang Li's waist, he wants to volley directly but it is difficult to hit the force, but if the ball is stopped, there will definitely be no more opportunities to shoot.
At this moment, Wang Li suddenly remembered the previous game against Blackburn Rovers in Wolverhampton, in that game, he also encountered this kind of ball, at that time, he chose to shoot on the ground!
So now...... In an instant, Wang Li's body suddenly fell to the ground with Pirlo obliquely in rhythm, and instead used a miscellaneous back fall, his right foot rose into the air, and he kicked straight at the flying football.
The kick was very powerful, under the surprised eyes of all AC Milan players, the football instantly crossed the distance between the penalty area and the goal, and before the goalkeeper Dida could move, it suddenly poured into the dead corner of the goal, bringing a wave of nets!!
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!! The ball went in!! ”
The next moment, Creed. Peswak let out the longest shout since the opening - "Allen!! Allan!! A wonderful barb volley, prefact!! Perfect shot!! This shot is so wonderful and beautiful!! ”
'Allen equalised for Chelsea!!' 1:1!! ”
