Chapter 350: Chelsea-style attacking style 1
readx;
On this day, almost all the English media gathered at Stamford Bridge, and there were many foreign media who came to the scene for the European Champions Cup, Chelsea and Manchester United are undoubtedly the teams that are likely to play well in the Champions League, before the start of the Champions League final stage, the direct collision of these two teams does have a deep pre-war analysis reference significance for some big clubs and their collisions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As all the English media know, Chelsea have set their sights on a 'quadruple' this season, so it is almost impossible for them to give up the Carabao Cup, and Manchester United will certainly be aiming for a trophy like the Carabao Cup with no hope of winning the league title.
As a result, this game will almost certainly be as intense as Mars hitting Earth.
Before the game, there was enough news about the two teams, but as the game approached, the news, commentary, and analysis almost all disappeared, and the focus was no longer on gossip news, but on actual collisions, such as what kind of line-up the two managers would line, whether the main players of both sides would be able to play, and so on.
In the pre-match press conference, Mourinho and Ferguson were very flat, they just symbolized the official participation of their surnames, talked about the views of the game and the current situation of the team, and then returned to the dressing room to do the work of their players, from which it can also be seen that the two big-name managers are still a little nervous about the game, their desire to win is undoubted, although this is only the first round of the meeting, but the two teams are still very serious.
As the game approached, Stamford Bridge was packed, with the majority of them Blues fans and more than 3,000 Red Devils fans, who of course were scarce compared to the number of Blues supporters, who were only placed in a corner in the north-east.
At this time, outside the stadium, there are still many loyal fans waiting outside the stadium, looking for any possible opportunity to buy tickets, and some fans even hold signs that "buy tickets", hoping to be lucky enough to meet scalpers who have not sold their tickets or fans who have temporarily returned their tickets without watching the game.
However, this wait is destined to be in vain.
Tickets for this match are so in high demand that many people can't buy tickets a week in advance, and those that were reserved for sale before the game have just been sold out.
By 4.25pm, the players from both sides had already stepped onto the pitch, and Stamford Bridge's 'queen' commentator, Creed. Peswack began to introduce the players from both teams:
"John. Terry!! ”
At this time, many Blues fans in the stands have not yet entered the state of watching the game, but when they heard the name of the Chelsea captain, they still let out a burst of cheers, which shows that Terry has won a lot of prestige among fans for Terry in the Premier League for Chelsea all these years.
"Alan. King!!!!!!!! ”
"Ah~~~~~~~~"
However, despite having been at Chelsea for many years and captaining the team, the cheers from the Blues fans showed that he was a bit of a gap to Victor Wing, who had only been at Chelsea for half a season.
This can't blame the fans for being a little paranoid, because the striker players can always score goals, it is naturally easier to win more reputation than the defender players, and the reputation is easier to make, not to mention that the number of goals scored by Wang Li this season is too much, which makes it very difficult for him not to think of brilliant things, and even he now has a group of extremely loyal 'Ai fans', these fans are deeply rooted in their hearts that as long as Wang Li plays, the team will definitely win.
It has to be said that this seems a bit paranoid, but at least until now, Chelsea have not lost any games.
After the players from both teams entered the field, Chelsea captain John Terry and the opposing captain Ryan Giggs went to guess the coin, and Terry guessed correctly, he chose to pick the side, and Manchester United had the right to kick off.
In fact, the styles of Manchester United and Chelsea are not much different, both belong to the team that is more defensive than attacking, and since many of the English players are physical, the two teams also have some English style more or less, and the difference between who kicks off first and who kicks off later is not much.
After the coin was over, the players of both teams took their positions and waited for the start of the game.
As the soul of the team, no matter where Wang Li stands, he can attract the attention of most people.
This is the scene on the pitch now, when the players of the two teams are standing on the pitch and waiting for kick-off, the Manchester United players almost all look at Wang Li who is standing at the back of the center circle, their eyes contain envy, jealousy, fighting spirit, etc., but all of them are aimed at Wang Li, undoubtedly, as the media said, Manchester United team wants to beat Chelsea, must limit Wang Li's play - a striker player got the whole Manchester United team' Special care', and also to get the opposing head coach's tactical surname in defense, which is almost already said to be an honor.
Regardless of what Ferguson said to the Manchester United players, in short, it can be seen from this point that Manchester United will definitely not admit defeat easily.
As the offensive core of the team, Wang Li's position is behind the two strikers, but this does not mean that he must be a forward midfielder who is mainly responsible for passing deadly balls, or the core responsible for organizing the attack
In this game, Manchester United lined up a 451 formation, and as the winter game deepened, it was difficult to support this attrition with Manchester United's bench depth, so the team's most valuable youngster, Wayne Rooney, was placed in the right winger position in this game. Ronaldo formed a two-sided striker to attack the Chelsea defence.
The other players in midfield were captain Roy. Keane, Paul Scholes and Fletcher, Saha, who has just returned from injury, are at the front of the team as a lone striker, and Phil is the defender. Neville, Brown, Silvestre and Heinze, the goalkeeper is still 26-year-old Howard.
At this time, the French shooter Louis. Saha and team captain Roy. Keane stood in the centre circle, Saha with the football at his feet, waiting for the referee's whistle.
However, the eyes of these two people stared directly at the feet of the black-haired boy opposite, before the game, Ferguson focused on telling them that for Wang Li's defense, you must not easily choose to force people, the old jazz studied a lot of Chelsea's game videos and finally found that although Chelsea's No. 21 is rarely involved in defense, but the efficiency of steals is very high, as an experienced head coach, he will pay more attention to this, but he can't understand why Wang Li has this defensive strength, But he is rarely involved in the team's defense - how could he know that the reason why Wang Li does this is more because he likes to attack.
On the other hand, Chelsea has a 4231 formation, and Wang Li is placed in the middle of the '3', that is, the somewhat ambiguous position between the shadow striker and the forward midfield.
Originally, Chelsea had Altyn. Robben and Damien. Duff's two left-footed players on the wing, and both of them are very good at cutting inside, and the cooperation between each other has played very well, in the eyes of many people, it would be better to change this formation to 4321, Wang Li's position is even a little redundant, and it has also caused a decline in the team's defensive strength.
But in fact, although Wang Li was arranged in that awkward position, under normal circumstances, he would always choose to stand in the front of the middle circle, so this set of formations can be said to be the 42121 formation, as the core of the team's attack, Wang Li was really arranged in the core of the formation, so that there is a 'circle' of teammates in the attack, Wang Li's choice will be much more, and the pressure will naturally be less, which is also an improvement of Mourinho's 'regional offensive tactics'.
In this match, Icelander Eduar. Gudjanssen was put on the bench and Drogba returned to the pitch, although in the previous game, Drogba was at a disadvantage in the competition with Gudjanssen, but for this important game, Mourinho still chose him, which shows that his position at Chelsea is still very solid.
And the No. 2 goalkeeper Thomas. Clarke also stood on the field, and it can be seen from here that the competition for Thomas by various giants in the winter transfer has played a role in his position in Mourinho's heart, and Thomas, who has been pre-purchased by so many giants, has no doubt about his strength, so Mourinho must also go through the observation of the tournament to determine whether to choose Thomas or Cech.
The double back is still Frank. Frank Lampard and Crowder. Claude Makelele, and perhaps at Chelsea, is the only player in this position who is the most solid, and the two are almost irreplaceable, and even if there are other contenders, they can only play alongside them when the manager arranges other tactics.
Finally, the guard is Glenn. Johnson, John. Terry, William. Gallas and Paul. Ferreira.
Thiago was criticized by the media as the biggest 'parallel import'. Mendes still didn't get a chance to play, and he didn't even make the team's squad in this game. Carvalho also missed such an important game due to injury, and I have to say that it is definitely a bit regrettable.
Just look at the line-ups of the two teams to know that for this game, both Manchester United and Chelsea are bound to win, both teams are the main force, and both want to try to determine the absolute advantage in the first round of the competition
For this game, the court TV station of the ancient oriental country also broadcast it live, and in the far east, there are still many Manchester United and Chelsea fans.
If a year ago, the number of Manchester United fans was much higher than that of Chelsea fans due to Manchester United's plans in China in recent years, but now, thanks to the strong performance of Wang Li, who is half Chinese, and Chelsea's almost unstoppable results, the number of supporters for Chelsea has increased dramatically, although this does not add much to the popularity of Chelsea Club, but it can also reflect an invisible popularity.
In the 20 minutes leading up to the game, the TV was already on the pitch at Stamford Bridge, and the frenzied European fans and the 'organised and disciplined' cheering performance did give people a lot of shock and anticipation. The on-site commentator and guest guide Zhang also made an analysis of the starting lists of both sides.
Director Zhang believes that Sir Alex Ferguson's intention to field five midfielders is obvious, which is to curb Wang Li's play. Now that Wang Li is the heart of Chelsea's attack and the top scorer, as long as he wants to win the game and reach the League Cup final, he will inevitably freeze Wang Li's performance, which is the consensus of all football professionals.
But it's one thing to say it, it's another thing to do it.
Wang Li's personal skills are undoubted, and with the progress of the league, his tactical perspective, game experience and other abilities have increased, and the cooperation between his teammates has become more and more tacit, it is indeed not easy to freeze this kind of player who has done a very good job in all aspects and has first-class personal skills. Therefore, Manchester United can only increase the number of midfielders, with the number of these big-name stars, to control the playing area, and block Wang Li like a sea of people, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing his performance, which is also an option that has no choice.
However, whether it has an effect or not will have to be proved by the real competition.
When the referee whistled to kick off, the commentator was still checking the recent relevant information of the two teams in his hand, but Director Zhang had already put his eyes on the screen, as a rare football professional in the ancient Oriental country, he knew that anything could happen in the game, and he must not be negligent because it was just at the beginning, it was likely to miss the wonderful picture
The choice of chapter guidance is very correct.
After teeing off, Luis. Saha pushed the ball to the captain next to him, Roy. Keane, who passed the ball to Fletcher with his heel.
As a rising star in Scotland, Fletcher joined Manchester United's youth team as early as the age of 15, and he also played in that match with Wolverhampton's youth team.
And the Scottish rising star is almost on the Premier League stage with Wang Li, but now the value of the two is almost unreasonable.
This has always been known as the 'genius' of the Fletcher very unwilling, whenever he sees Wang Li's figure, jealousy, disdain, unwillingness and other emotions fill his mind, and before the game, head coach Ferguson emphasized that 'in the face of Allen's defense, it is best to cooperate with teammates, not to be stronger', which makes Fletcher have an urge to try.
Now, he's just in his early 20s, and it's not surprising that young people are impulsive, and the opportunity for this one-on-one is coming soon.
After the start of the game, the forwards of the two teams staggered towards the opponent's front, because the football was controlled at the feet of Manchester United, Chelsea only Wang Li and Drogba slowly ran towards the United half, but this was enough, Wang Li ran from the middle of the road just past Fletcher - "Stephen!! Pass!! ”
When he saw that the brunette boy on the other side was about to swim to Fletcher's side, Manchester United captain Roy Brown. Keane immediately shouted at him to pass the ball.
However, Fletcher did want to try, not just for one-on-one heads-up, but also as a way to build confidence for himself.
He first pulled the ball to the side very steadily, and then quickly changed direction from the diagonal side of Wang Li's running direction, and at the same time twisted his body strongly, wanting to get past Wang Li's defense in this sudden way.
If the opponent is an average player, this way of passing people will basically not react, but he uses the wrong target.
Just now, hearing the shouts of the opposing captain, Wang Li really thought that the kid in front of him would definitely pass the ball, so he just slowed down his movements symbolically, intending to scare him, and then ran towards the frontcourt, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't obey the command and chose to be stronger.
Although he was a little surprised, when he saw the opportunity, Wang Li still used the 'shadow with the shape of the leg' as soon as he saw the opportunity, which was almost a steal move like a plug-in on the football field, which directly caused his right leg to stretch to the left, kicked the ball at Fletcher's feet to the side, and then ran forward twice in place with some unbalanced body.
Fletcher was stunned by this steal, he turned his head and saw the opponent's black man catch the ball, he was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had lost the ball, and he was not anxious to be annoyed that he did not obey the head coach and made a mistake, he turned around and ran back to participate in the team's defense.
Yes, Drogba, who had just run over the halfway line, just received the ball.
Drogba couldn't believe the football, but after reacting, he still played a diagonal pass to Frank Lampard at the back.
The situation on the pitch changed in an instant, and Chelsea went from being on the defensive side to being on the attacking side.
After Wang Li broke the ball, he did not ask his teammates for the ball, but continued to run slowly towards Manchester United's half, looking for a good position to receive the ball from time to time. Don't think that Chelsea have been bombarding the original game and think that Chelsea are an attacking team, in fact, Chelsea's attack is very steady.
This kind of steadiness is different from the Spanish style of 'grinding', and it is also different from Arsenal's full attack and defense, but a kind of positional warfare-style slow advancement, although there is Wang Li in Chelsea, the rapid counterattack is the sharpest, but now no team will be stupid enough to give Chelsea this opportunity.
Soon, after a few passes of football at the back of Chelsea, the front-court players were seen running into their positions. Gallas' sudden diagonal pass opened the curtain on Chelsea's attack.
At the same time, Wang Li, who had just touched the ball once, stayed in the position a little ahead of the middle line, he did not run back to ask his teammates, just stayed there, constantly competing for positions with the players who defended him closely, this feeling was like fighting for a header, but in fact, the football had not crossed the middle line.
When the Damien on the side. When Duff passed the ball diagonally to him, Wang Li immediately took a slight step and walked beside him. When Neville didn't react, he stepped forward to receive a pass, and then he shook off Phil's steal in disguise, then looked up at the direction of the penalty area and made a big volley gesture, which scared goalkeeper Howard in his face.
However, Wang Li did not shoot, this point was too far from the goal, he was not sure that he could score the ball, so after shaking off the intercepted Silvestre, he made a long pass, handed the ball to the left, and then immediately started to run towards the penalty area.
On the left, after Robben received the ball, he ignored the Manchester United defenders and hoisted the ball into the United penalty area with a big foot.
Wang Li, who happened to run to the point, jumped directly into the air, wiped the back of his head on the side of the ball, and the football accurately fell to the back point - there was Didier, who was already ready to go. Drogba!!
This Ivorian monster, in the face of the ball flying down, did not hesitate to choose to volley, this action scared thousands of Red Devils fans who came to Stamford Bridge half of the stand from the stands, and Ferguson on the sidelines couldn't sit still, his eyes were staring at his own big penalty area, and stood up directly from the coach's box, that kind of clean and neat action, it is really difficult to see that this is an old man in his 60s!!
"Drogba!! Shot!! ”
But the ball couldn't be pumped into the force, and the football was kicked a little low by Drogba, but it still went straight to the left corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Howard was still standing on the right side at all!!
Fortunately, the backcourt big man who has just renewed his contract is Leo. Ferdinand reacted quickly and reflexively hit the ball with an outstretched kick that sent it straight off the line.
Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines and sat down with a half-hearted sigh of relief, while the cheers of the Blues fans came to an abrupt halt.
"Robben, kick the ball!! Wang Li's header rubbed off, Drogba !! Shot!!! Oops, the ball was kicked off the line by Rio Ferdinand. At the same time, in the imperial court sports television station, the voice of Director Zhang came out, and the commentator next to him heard this voice, so he raised his head from the information, obviously, this commentator is a ball blind, has reached a very unprofessional level.
“……… ......, we can see that in the first minute, the football has been counter-robbed by Chelsea, and then launched a steady attack, and this wave of attack directly threatened Manchester United's goal, it can be said that Chelsea's players performed very well in the game, Manchester United seems to be in crisis......"
After reacting, the narrator finally began to nag constantly, but in fact, he didn't see the scene just now.
"Corner!!"
'Just over two minutes into the game, Chelsea had a very dangerous shot on goal and a corner!! If the game continues like this, Manchester United will be in danger. ”
