No. 098: Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea team
Honk!
Chelsea's home game against Arsenal has officially begun.
Fans on both sides immediately erupted in scorching cheers, and the entire Stamford Bridge stadium trembled.
The ball rolled to the feet of Cesc Fabregas, who immediately dodged Drogba, who rushed up, and then sent the ball to Van Persie with a direct through pass.
"Van Persie! Van Persie got the football. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
Chelsea midfielder Mikel clung to Van Persie and didn't let him turn. And Essin followed Dongfang Chen closely.
Essien's defensive ability is very strong, and his body is very strong, earning him the nickname of a buffalo. He is staying by Dongfang Chen's side today, which Dongfang Chen can bear.
At the beginning of the game, Dongfang Chen felt the pressure from Essien. Dongfang Chen frowned slightly, he knew that today's game would definitely not be easy, because Terry hadn't come up yet. If Terry also comes up, Dongfang Chen will be really unlucky today.
Van Persie didn't force a breakthrough, he immediately crossed the ball across the wing, and the ball rolled quickly towards Walcott on the wing.
Walcoat was quick, picked up the ball, accelerated past midfield and headed towards the Chelsea line.
Chelsea's formation today focused on the centre of the pitch, with the wide flanks naturally a bit empty. Of course, Kalou and Nicolas Anelka were asked to backtest the middle of the pitch and keep one Drogba in front.
Even, most of the time, Drogba has to return to his own half to participate in the defense.
Chelsea's defence is almost the same as it was under Jose Mourinho, with Chelsea defending as a team.
Especially in the front court, they are mainly forced to intercept, and Jose Mourinho even asked to cut off the ball in the front court and completely strangle the opponent's attack. At the same time, counterattack on the spot and catch the opponent off guard.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea team had a very good season. However, when they arrived in Europe, Chelsea's results were not ideal, and Chelsea's defence was exposed to big problems.
Jose Mourinho has also seen that Chelsea's defensive quality is not enough to support his tactics. Of course, it's not just the Chelsea players who are a problem, it's more about his defensive tactics.
So, after leaving Chelsea, Jose Mourinho went to Italy and went to Inter Milan. He went to Italy to learn the essence of Italian chain defense, learn to improve Italian defense, and then transplant it to his set of tactics to serve his set of tactics and complete his tactical system.
Jose Mourinho went to Italy, while Carlo Ancelotti came to Chelsea from Italy.
Jose Mourinho didn't bring the essence of Italy's chain defence to Chelsea, but Carlo Ancelotti did bring his Italian defensive system with him.
When he was in Italy, the defensive counter-attack was what Ancelotti was best at, and it could even be said that he played the rest. When he arrived at Chelsea, his initial request was a change in the defensive tactics of the Chelsea players.
Chelsea's defence is very pressing, especially up front, and the pressing is very sharp.
And the frontcourt players of the Chelsea team are now full of tacit understanding in pressing, and they should go up and retreat, and they are full of tacit understanding.
Now, Chelsea also won the Premier League title last season with this tactic. This season is still at the top of the league.
This season, the Chelsea players have naturally become more proficient in this set of tactics, and they are now more ambitious, hoping not only to win the league title, but also to win the Champions League.
The Chelsea players were full of confidence, so after the game started, Kalou and Anelka's thoughts were a little drifting, so the speed of the replay was a little slow, and even Anelka did not return to the defense, which allowed Walcoat to easily break through the midfield and hit the bottom line.
On the sidelines, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was very dissatisfied when he saw this, he frowned, walked to the sideline and shouted: "Run, defend!" The pace should be consistent, keep up with the rhythm, all of which have been paid attention to me. ”
Although no name was named, the Chelsea players on the pitch understood who Carlo Ancelotti was criticizing. Because after the start of the game, Nicolas Anelka and Kalou did not keep up with the rhythm and disrupted the Chelsea team's defensive system.
Anelka didn't say anything about this, and still chased back slowly and leisurely, and Kalou's face turned red in Russian, and he also knew that he had just floated, so he immediately gritted his teeth and chased back quickly, chasing Walcott.
However, at this time, Walcott had already left him far behind, and he could not catch up at all.
Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole immediately pounced on Walcoat.
Walket dodged the ball to the sideline and got past Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole immediately stepped sideways to intercept it.
However, at this moment, Walcott suddenly turned around with a smash and slammed the ball towards the middle, dunking past Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole was not so easy to deal with, he had expected Walcott to have such a move, he immediately turned and chased after him.
Ashley Cole's response was quick. However, Walcott, who took the initiative, still took the lead and grabbed half of the position.
Because in football, the offensive player is in control, and the defense is passive, always following the offensive player's movements to make defensive reactions, so Ashley Cole is half a beat slower. However, being able to do it here also shows how good Ashley Cole is.
After all, Walcott is fast and agile, and Ashley Cole can force Walket to this role, which is already very powerful.
Walcott was also shocked, he was almost killed by Ashley Cole. Walcott, who was half a step ahead, did not dare to underestimate his opponent, he did not dribble the ball again, but directly stabbed the football to Zhonglu, and the football quickly rolled towards Van Persie, who was following in the oven.
Van Persie turned around though, moving forward. But Mikel still only followed him, and Van Persie did not dump Mikel at all.
However, this time Van Persie was in a good position, and he carried Mikel to the death before receiving the football.
However, Mikel was so close to him that he couldn't shoot straight at goal. Even a barely footed shot is no threat to the Chelsea fans.
At this time, Chelsea's central defender Branislav Ivanovic also pounced sharply and pressed towards Van Persie.
At this time, the Chelsea team's defense also moved forward collectively with Ivanovic, and the Chelsea team's defense was in front of the front, and the pace was very consistent, giving Van Persie a great sense of pressure.
The situation is very advanced, and Van Persie must do his best to react, otherwise, this time he will be buried here.
"Van Persie! Robin van Persie fell into the defensive trap of the Chelsea side. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
The Arsenal fans at the scene immediately became nervous, what choice will Comrade Van Persie make at this time? You won't get broken, right?
At this time, Dongfang Chen was on the left side of Van Persie. Although Dongfang Chen wrote Esin on the left side of his body. But Mikel and Terry are separated between Dongfang Chen and Van Persie, and Van Persie cannot contact Dongfang Chen at all.
Seeing that Ivanovic was about to pounce in front of him, Van Persie had no choice but to slam the ball behind him with his own heel.
Van Persie doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, and he doesn't know who will be behind him? But at this time, he had no choice but to gamble.
"Beautiful! With a stroke of genius, Van Persie gave the football bed to Cesc Fabregas who followed with his heel, a beautiful fit! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was so excited that he shouted loudly.
The Arsenal fans were also very excited, Van Persie's pass was simply too exquisite, he even knew that Fabregas was behind him, this goal was too wonderful. The Arsenal fans immediately gave Van Persie a scorching round of applause.
However, Cesc Fabregas was unaffected, seeing the football rolling towards him, he immediately rushed forward, did not stop the ball, and directly gently rubbed the ball, and the football immediately flew upwards towards the Chelsea team's penalty area.
"Overhead passes! Cesc Fabregas came directly with an overhead pass and found Dongfang Chen who was cutting forward! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.
"No offside! There was no offside in this ball, Dongfang Chen went in, single knife! Single-handed! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement as loud as Pavarotti.
The fans of the Arsenal team at the scene rubbed their heads, stretched their necks excitedly, stared at the stadium tightly, and suddenly had a feeling of blood gushing.
The Chelsea fans looked at each other in horror and immediately shouted loudly: "Offside! It's an offside goal! Offside! Offside! ”
In front of the penalty area, the Chelsea players all raised their right hands one after another, signaling to the referee and linesman, signaling that Dongchen was offside, which was an offside goal.
However, Dongfang Chen ignored it, he knew very well that he was not offside at all, he saw it very clearly. He didn't pay any attention to the Chelsea players, he rushed to the football without distraction, straight to the ball.
