Chapter 445: Ball Possession
Chapter 445 Ball Possession
However, when Scolari, who was smiling, watched the game on the field for a while, he suddenly realized that it seemed that this game was not as simple as he thought before?
Called the assistant on the side, and glanced at the detailed technical statistics on the field in the first 15 minutes of the game, nothing else, when Scolari saw the possession of the ball, he was stunned.
Reaching out to grab the assistant who wanted to "slip away", Scolari asked with some uncertainty, "I said Jim, are you sure you gave me this technical statistic correctly?" ”
After taking the technical statistics from his assistant, who is responsible for recording these data assistants, Jim said that he had not read the above content, so he heard Scolari's somewhat dissatisfied inquiry at this time, and Jim, who didn't dare to talk nonsense, had to say the truth, "I don't know, I just got it from Rank, and I haven't had time to see it yet." However, I believe the coach also knows that Ranke's usual style of data maniac, you said that other things may be possible, but in terms of data, things in his professional field should not be wrong! ”
After Jim's reminder, Scolari also realized that he had asked a little Meng Lang in the previous question, and, at the same time, Scolari was extremely glad that it was Jim who had just handed him the data, not the madman Rank, otherwise, because of his unintentional questioning, he might have caused a lot of trouble.
Since the data is recorded and counted by Ranke, this data is authoritative and there is no need to do any proofreading. Waving his hand and beckoning Jim to leave, Scolari looked at the pitch and became distracted.
In this game, playing here, Scolari's expectation of Chelsea to go on a killing spree and slaughter Crystal Palace did not appear.
And it's not a question of Chelsea's delay in opening the door to victory. Just now, when watching the game, Scolari had a faint feeling, it seems that on the field today, although Chelsea is at home, it is somewhat suppressed by Crystal Palace! However, at that time, Scolari thought it was his own delusion, so he didn't take it too seriously.
However, as the game continued, in actual combat, after constantly improving their new tactics, Crystal Palace's advantage on the pitch was little by little shown in front of the world, coupled with the statistics sent by Rank, in which, the inconspicuous Crystal Palace actually got 58% possession, 16% more than Chelsea. I can't say, Scolari really has to study and study, what is going on in Crystal Palace today-
Keep your eyes back on the pitch.
In other words, as the game progressed, not only because the new tactics became more and more proficient, but also because of the more confident kicks in the month, in the last 5 minutes, Crystal Palace almost turned the game into a half-time offensive and defensive drill!
No, the words haven't fallen yet, Chelsea's side has once again shown everyone that it's difficult to think about half the time!
It was not a clear attack from Crystal Palace, and the ball could not reach the feet of midfielder Drogba, and the Chelsea defenders made another mistake and gave up the ball.
"Whew!" However, the human body is made of meat, not iron, and today is the day of this new tactic, and I am not used to it, such a small 10 minutes of high pressing, after the whole court pressing, Crystal Palace played beautifully, but the physical fitness of their midfielders has all entered the critical point in advance.
Not to mention here that physical fitness has reached a critical point, not that Crystal Palace's players can't run after only 20 minutes of play! This tipping point is known to people who like sports. To give you a simple example, if you are running a long distance and you reach a distance of 2 or 3 kilometers, you will feel like your legs are filled with lead and you want to die. However, as long as you can grit your teeth and get through this most painful time, you will find that the previous fatigue will be far away from you.
In the usual football game, the first critical point of this kind of physical fitness usually appears when the game is 35-40 minutes into the game, which is a good explanation, why some commentators habitually say that the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the game are the easiest times to concede goals. The first 5 minutes are because the game has just started, and everyone's attention may not be concentrated, and the next 5 minutes refers to the physical critical point!
To get back to the point, Crystal Palace, because in the first 10 minutes of the game, paid twice or even 1 or 5 times more than Chelsea, and spared no effort to rush the whole game, although it played its own momentum, but, with it, their reserve of physical energy, at this time, was also sold out in advance.
Feeling the strangeness of his body, he stopped the ball and thought about it for a while, and Modric quickly figured out the middle joint.
Before the Chelsea weak-side defenders couldn't bear the loneliness and planned to come over to wrap up, Modric pretended to see a bad attacking opportunity, and the previous 10 minutes of pressure were enough, slowing down the pace of the game on the field, and passing the ball back to his own half.
It's a pity that the players in the midfield suddenly had problems with their physical strength so early, and the two central defenders of Crystal Palace, Lescott and Vincent Kompany, did not know, and in order to prevent Chelsea from seeing the flaws, the midfielders led by Modric did not dare or have time to inform them. Therefore, it is not surprising that there will be a coordination mistake on the side of Crystal Palace next!
Seeing Modric's movements and feeling his physical condition, several midfielders of Crystal Palace couldn't help but give Modric a thumbs up in their hearts.
However, just when Modric and others were about to slow down the pace on the field, Yaya Toure, who acted as a reverse free man, made a "discordant" sound at this time.
Receiving a pass from Vincent Kompany nearby, Yaya Toure didn't think about it, looked up at the left side where Bale was, and found that there was a small gap on Bale's side, and raised his leg to draw the ball out.
Yaya Toure's long pass, in terms of timing, is actually very beautiful, and the gap is also very accurate, which can be inserted in time by Van Bell and win the ball, it is really possible to create a good offensive opportunity for Crystal Palace. This kind of shines on the side of the subtlety of Friedman's reverse retro free man tactics.
Unfortunately, all of the above is the ideal state, and now, it is clear that Bell is not in the state described above.
Seeing Modric pass the ball back to the back, and quietly gestured a steady gesture to himself and others, although the game was not played for a long time, but several back and forth sprints have been carried out, and the physical consumption is very large, Bale is naturally happy, happy, and ready to recycle with the team's line.
Who would have thought that just a few steps after Bale had just taken a few steps towards the backfield, Yaya Toure would actually choose this time to make a long pass?
Bell didn't expect that when the ball arrived, Bell was trying to react, and as soon as he turned around, he found that Terry had already given the calf a hen to guard the calf, blocking all his routes towards the ball landing point.
Fortunately, it is now in the front court, and it doesn't matter if the offense occasionally makes mistakes, thinking of this, Bale, who didn't take this mistake too seriously, even has time, turned back to Yaya Toure, who sent him a pass, and gave his thumbs up, signaling that the opponent passed the ball well......
