Chapter 749: Scalpel-like passing

Gary? Gary Cahill, who switched from Bolton Wanderers to Chelsea during the winter break last year, only made the world remember his name, and he was also called Cahill before, but Tim? Cahill is undoubtedly more famous.

Gary Cahill is not a typical English centre-back, and although he has the standard body of an English centre-back, if you look at him playing, it is easy to see that he is very different from other English centre-backs, that is, he rarely plays direct physical confrontations, and he looks more like a behind-the-back centre-back.

At Bolton Wanderers, he had very few physical confrontations, and when he arrived at Chelsea, he preferred to drag behind his team-mates to defend against the attacking centre-backs, and he was very good at cutting off the ball when the attacking players got past the opponents, which is his strength.

In other words, this is a team player, and one-on-one ability is not his strong point.

Mourinho arranged Gary for this game? Cahill and Terry play a combination, judging from the combination of central defenders, the two are more complementary, Gary? Gary Cahill is the type of centre-back that complements both traditional English centre-backs, while Gary? Cahill is on the right and John Terry is on the left, which is also very special.

Ivanovic is mainly defending, Cahill is close to him, encountering an impact from the opponent's left side, Ivanovic guards the first point, Cahill drags behind, so it is easier to play Gary? Cahill's strengths while masking his shortcomings.

Hazzard's previous attempts to break down the left had been ineffective, but Tottenham's analysis team quickly noticed that when Hazzard hit the left with the ball, Gary? Cahill is always between Branislav Ivanovic and goalkeeper Cesar, and it's his defensive habit to keep the goal in the back of the net.

But this has also caused another result, that is, when Hazard hit Ivanovic's point just now, the Belgian winger suddenly made a sharp stop to cut in, at this time Gary? Cahill realised that Hazzard's ball was a bit too big and wanted to go up and break it, but the distance between him and the ball was more than ten metres.

Hazzard reacted quickly, was quick and explosive, and he was very smart, rushing up with a lunge and blocking Gary with his left foot on the left side of the ball? Gary Cahill took a kick, the latter did not dare to foul easily, this was the edge of the penalty area after all, and then Hazzard took the ball under control with a flick of his right foot.

The Belgian reacted quickly and made mistakes, but quickly stabilized his position, but the downside was that the team missed the opportunity to attack quickly, after all, Gary? Cahill came up and John Terry quickly returned to the middle, Ashley? Cole also retracted into the box and Chelsea's entire defence began to focus on the right, which was Tottenham Hotspur's left.

Meanwhile, with Ramires and Mikel both returning, and with Frank Lampard and three of Chelsea's midfielders deployed to the edge of the penalty area to protect the defence, Tottenham's attack hit the wall again.

If it were Ribery, maybe this sudden emergency stop and inward cutting process could be handled well, and Hazzard is still a little immature in the end, and there is still a little gap between him and the top superstar in the handling of some details, but it is such a little distance that he has not been able to get a top superstar so far.

But Ye Qiu told him more than once that he would maintain this momentum of patience and progress, observe more, learn more, and after a period of accumulation, his entire technical style would undergo a transformation, and this little gap would be made up unconsciously.

Hazzard saw that Chelsea's defence was in place and knew there was no chance to attack. Cahill immediately kicked the ball diagonally back, not to Ramsey, not to Vidal, because they were all in the Chelsea defensive encirclement, and went directly to Pirlo, who was inserted in the back row.

The Italian received a pass from Hazard from around 25 yards, with Frank Lampard and Mikel rushing at the same time, and Mourinho had said before the game to be careful of Andrea Pirlo, so they didn't dare to be careless.

Andrea Pirlo turned sideways, facing to the right, and used his body to block a close Lampard, and his right foot was a half-high ball that was sent to the right, and Messi was outside the right corner of the penalty area, unmarked.

Messi holds the ball in the right corner of the penalty area, Ashley? Kerr rushed up to defend him as soon as possible, and Oscar, who rushed back from the front, also wanted to wrap Messi with his teammates, but even if it was a pair of two, Messi still carried the ball unhurriedly, not nervous at all, as if he was not afraid of losing the ball at all.

Jose Mourinho saw the scene from the sidelines, but he quickly realised the danger when he saw Kyle in the white jersey on the right? Walker was rushing forward at breakneck speed, so he immediately shouted, "Watch out for Kyle? Walker's bottom! ”

As soon as he shouted, Kyle? Walker has already rubbed shoulders with Messi, and the Argentine is in Ashley? Cole shoved the ball straight under his nose, and Kyle? Walker quickly caught up, even if Ashley? After Cole heard Mourinho's shouting, he gave up Messi as soon as possible and kept up with Kyle? Walker, but the latter still got a chance to cross in front of the baseline, Ashley? Kerr lifted his foot to break the ball, but it was too late.

At this moment, there are many white and red players in the Chelsea penalty area, among which Vidal is in the front, Cavani is in the middle, Ramsey is in the back post, Ribery is slightly behind, Pirlo is rushing to the penalty spot, and the entire Tottenham Hotspur attack has rushed into the Chelsea penalty area.

Everyone's breath paused at this moment, and the ball was seen to cross an arc in mid-air, and instead of looking for Vidal, who was already stuck in the front position, nor for the back post, but landed precisely in front of Cavani in the middle, and the Uruguayan grabbed a favorable position when he was competing with Terry, jumped high and headed a header into the far corner.

The ball was more like a headshot at Cavani, swerved in a direction and into the top left corner of the goal.

Cesar stood in the middle of the goal, he couldn't do anything about such a goal, he could only turn his head sideways and watch the ball drill into the goal, 1:0!

"Eh, the ball is in!!!"

"In the 34th minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur finally scored!!"

"From the right side of Kyle? Walker's precise cross assists, Cavani's header in the box, 1:0!! ”

While the on-site commentator shouted, all the Tottenham Hotspur players had already rushed out of the stadium, one by one ecstatic to the area where the Tottenham Hotspur fans were, celebrating the goal.

Mourinho on the sidelines shook his hands angrily, he did not complain about the players, but was disappointed by the team's mistakes, because the team still showed flaws in Tottenham Hotspur's transformation and pull from left to right, which also reflected the team's tacit understanding in the movement, and the misjudgment of the situation is still lacking.

'Tottenham do seem to have found a way to deal with the Chelsea bus, and they started to use this back-and-forth tugging to force the entire Chelsea defence to move left and right, and then find gaps in the line in that movement.

"This can also be said to be a very typical feature of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, with frequent cross-position and back-and-forth pulling, which are the characteristics of defenders who have a headache for Tottenham's attack."

Not long after the on-site commentator had finished speaking, and after the game restarted, Chelsea quickly lost the ball again after the restart, and Tottenham Hotspur once again mastered the ball and launched another wave of attacks.

Pirlo gave the ball to Ramsey who was close to the left, Tottenham Hotspur looked like he was going to play on the left side, Marcelo pressed very high, Hazad simply cut directly into the penalty area, but after Ramsey got the ball, he did not pass to the left, but directly transferred the ball with a diagonal pass, and to the right, it was Kyle again? Walker's back cut in, received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and grabbed Ashley? Kerr preceded a shot into the box.

I saw Messi, who had cut into the penalty area, holding the ball with his back to Terry, and a very flexible feint to turn around and cut inward, after deceiving Terry to respond, he suddenly started, went directly to the bottom of the ball, pulled out a position and picked up his right foot, and volleyed directly and vigorously, but this time his right foot was not grasped well, and the ball grazed the left post out of the bottom line.

'A very smart attack, the Tottenham players are smart when they attack.

"Ramsey took the ball and saw that you Chelsea were guarding my side, and I moved directly to the right side and caught you off guard, Kyle? Walker's insertion was very resolute and very abrupt, as Marcelo went up, and under normal circumstances, Kyle? Walker was coming back, but he suddenly plugged in, apparently because of a tacit understanding with his teammates. ”

"Messi's kick is a pity, if it is a left foot, this goal is estimated to be scored again!"

"Now Tottenham Hotspur's attack is very targeted, Mourinho's Chelsea is in a bit of an embarrassing situation, especially their defense, which is very dangerous now, because Tottenham Hotspur has already played a threat, and if it goes on like this, if you don't find a suitable and effective way to contain it, it is estimated that you will have to be scored."

But Mourinho is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and quickly made adjustments, and began to consciously pull the back three closer to the backline to maintain defensive rigor, especially Mikel, while the two full-backs can extend out of the big penalty area, which looks a bit similar to the play of five back five.

At halftime, Mourinho simply won the Oscar and replaced it with David? Luiz really adopted the style of play with five defenders, the midfield three backs remained the same, the formation became a 532 tactic, and the double forward combination of Torres and Sturridge was left in front.

Not to mention, after the change of formation, the defense has stabilized a lot, and the counterattack has become effective.

In particular, in the 64th minute, Frank Lampard passed the ball and Torres counter-attacked Tottenham Hotspur's defence, attracting the attention of two centre-backs, before sharing the ball to Sturridge, who cut into the box from the right and suddenly got his feet on the right flank.

It was a dangerous shot that Petr Cech made a flying save and slid the ball out of the net with a single fist, which was one of Chelsea's most dangerous attacks of the game, and the thrill of this time made Tottenham feel the danger from top to bottom.

But it was also this shot that made Ye Qiu shake his head from the sidelines, because he found that after the team took the lead, the players lost contact with the left and right wings under Chelsea's conscious truncation and blocking.

You know, the smartest thing about Chelsea is that he allows you to play a certain wing, but he doesn't let you cut inside easily, because you can only cross when you play on the wing, but if you cut inside, you can find another wide player to work with, which is dangerous, and Tottenham Hotspur is best at cutting inside.

'Edinson Cavani scored in this game but wasn't excited enough. Ye Qiu shook his head and said.

He represented Uruguay at the Olympics this summer, and although he returned early, his form reserves were somewhat affected. Walker's credit will be even greater, with the England right-back's crosses of the calibre of David Beckham's quality.

"Let Drogba warm up!" Ye Qiu didn't know how to do it, and shouted towards Roland.

Soon, there was a shout from behind him for Roland to let Drogba warm up, and after a few casual laps, the Ivorian returned to Ye Qiu's side, and he was obviously preparing to play since the second half.

"When you come on the pitch, if you cut inside on the wings, you go for the wall, if they go down, you go for the top, you know?" After Drogba approached, Ye Qiu explained very seriously.

Drogba nodded vigorously and then ran to the fourth official to get ready to play, just as there was a cheer on the pitch, even from the Chelsea fans, who were cheering for him, even though it was the first time he had faced his former club since leaving Stamford Bridge.

After Drogba high-fived Cavani, he walked onto the court, first sprinting directly, then warming up, and by the way, familiarizing himself with the field, and when he walked to the front, Hazard and Messi had already received signals from Ye Qiu.

"Didil, pay attention to my gestures!" Messi secretly made a gesture, as did Hazzard.

That is to say, when they make this gesture, they have to fight for the inward cut, otherwise it is the bottom.

Didier Drogba walked up to John Terry and smiled at his former team-mate, the two nodded in greeting, and the game didn't stop as their old friend reunited, and kick-off was immediately restarted, but Chelsea were quick to transfer the ball to Tottenham Hotspur.

Two or three successive one-kick passes at the back avoided Torres and Sturridge, with Marcelo dribbling the ball up front, but Chelsea's defence was very tight, with the Brazilian passing the ball to Andrea Pirlo, who in turn to Vidal, who turned his back to the attacking direction and turned to the unguarded Messi on the right.

Messi dribbled the ball on the right side, Ashley? Cole and Lampard were both close to him, but Messi grabbed a quick pass of at least 15 meters before the two of them were encircled, cut straight through the defense area of the two, and came to the feet of Drogba at the top of the right corner of the penalty area, who carried Terry with his body, and in the face of Messi's incoming ball, he did not let the ball linger at his feet, but stretched out his right foot.

The ball seemed to hit Drogba's foot and turned in a direction, and Messi had already moved from Ashley to Ashley? Cole and Frank Lampard made a quick run through the middle to Drogba, and the ball bounced off Drogba's foot and was right on Messi's run.

The Argentine was denied by Frank Lampard when he won the ball, but he cut inside after a quick stop, cutting in laterally along the line of the penalty area.

Chelsea's defence was very resilient, and as soon as Frank Lampard couldn't hold it, Mikel and Ramires also immediately moved on to the wind, Mikel was responsible for limiting Messi with Lampard, and Ramires stood at the top of the arc to block Messi's continued lateral inward cut.

But Messi's dribbling attracted the attention of the Chelsea defense this time, and after seeing the Argentine cut inside, he turned sideways, protected the ball, and spotted a chance, pushing the instep of his left foot, and the ball passed through the small gap between the two at a speed that even Ramirez and Mikel had no time to react.

This is definitely a very fatal kick, a scalpel-like pass that directly tears through the opponent's tight defense!

Marcelo rushed up quickly from behind, and when he received the ball in the top left corner of the penalty area, there was no player in front of him, so he took a step forward and reached the line of the small penalty area, so that the entire Chelsea defence, including their midfield, was pressed into the small penalty area.

After all, Drogba is in the six-yard box and a pass like this is too dangerous.

But Marcelo suddenly buckled the ball with his left foot to the left side of the penalty spot, and saw Ramsey plug in from behind, facing the ball directly with a furious shot, and the ball went into the net again, 2:0!

"That's right!!!"

"The ball is in again!!!"

"It's still two wings to make a fuss, pulling back and forth, this time it is Drogba who is making a wall in front of him to help Messi cut from the right side to the middle, Messi's pass is too threatening, it is definitely fatal, just right from the middle of Mikel and Ramirez, very, very deadly!"

"Marcelo also handled it very smartly after getting the ball, he could choose to pick up a high ball to find Drogba, but he was worried about Terry, and if it was a low flat cross, Chelsea was full of people in the small penalty area, and there was obviously no advantage, so he chose to gamble and find the back plug, and this back plug area is often the scoring area of Ramsey and Vidal!"

"2:0, in the seventy-first minute of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur scored another goal, and the game didn't look like much suspense!"

"Jose Mourinho's defense in this game was quite well organized, and he was able to contain Tottenham Hotspur, who were excellent in attack, and did not get many decent scoring opportunities in the whole game, Chelsea's defense was really successful, but unfortunately they met Tottenham Hotspur, who were super attacking!"

"Tottenham Hotspur manager Ye Qiu!" The live TV camera was given to Ye Qiu on the sidelines, "In this game, he taught everyone a lesson very well, as if he wanted to tell everyone that the iron bucket array is useless to us, and the best and most effective way to break the iron bucket array is to live on the left and right wings and maintain close contact." ”

But as soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, Mourinho obviously let go, replaced two players in one go, and fought! The ball was buckled to the left side of the penalty spot, and Ramsey was seen inserted from behind, and he shot directly at the ball, and the ball went into the net again, 2:0!

"That's right!!!"

"The ball is in again!!!"

"It's still two wings to make a fuss, pulling back and forth, this time it is Drogba who is making a wall in front of him to help Messi cut from the right side to the middle, Messi's pass is too threatening, it is definitely fatal, just right from the middle of Mikel and Ramirez, very, very deadly!"
