Chapter 228: Bengbu Roundabout
The three-board axe didn't work, but instead gave Chelsea a one-goal lead, and AC Milan completely abandoned the plan of fast attack.
Under the leadership of Pirlo, the core of the midfield, the Milan players carefully passed the ball with their feet, trying to avoid a head-on collision with the Chelsea players, and the passing was more horizontal and back, except for the two sharp knives Crespo and Shevchenko, the other players tried to recycle in their own half, and the team pressed the entire defensive system very tightly.
Ancelotti's team is indeed much better defensively than the English team, with players defending intensively in the half and positioning being scientific and reasonable......
Typical reinforced concrete defense!
In the Italian league, defense has been sublimated to an art, especially the success of Italian coaches such as Lippi, Capello, Zaccheroni, Ancelotti, etc., so that the defensive counter-attacking tactics in Italy will not only not be ridiculed, but will be used as a model of wisdom and tactical rationality.
If this situation is placed in Jishu-based La Liga, the Bundesliga, which is wide open and closed, it is simply unthinkable.
Against Juventus in the semi-finals, Chelsea struggled with this Italian-style reinforced concrete defence, winning 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Later, when they went to the Alp Stadium in Turin, Juventus planned to take advantage of the home atmosphere to attack and play, giving up the solid concrete defense, which gave Chelsea's strikers room to play, and a hearty 9:0 achieved the biggest shame in Juventus' history.
This Milan defense line can only be better than Juventus!
So Qiao Wanxian understands very well. If you want to score, you have to let the opponent dare to let go and press, and swing the attack.
What to do? Qiao Wanxian's eyes narrowed.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "Those who are good at moving the enemy." form, the enemy will follow; Give it, and the enemy will take it. Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn. ”
In the Battle of Chengpu in 632 BC, the Jin army "retreated" and lured the Chu army; In 342 BC, in the battle of Qi Wei Maling, Sun Bin "retreated and reduced his troops". booby trapping Pang Juan; When Napoleon I attacked Russia in 1812, Kutuzov also adopted the decision to retreat and abandon Moscow, thus creating the conditions for a Russian counteroffensive.
That's right. Converge the edge and lure the enemy deeper!
Qiao Wan turned around silently, returned to the coach's seat, and said lightly: "Tell the players." Reduce the intensity of pressing in the midfield. Ten meters in front of the penalty area, then launch an interception to give the opponent a chance to attack! ”
Boas was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.
……
……
As soon as Chelsea's tactical adjustment passed, the Milan players immediately felt that the ball in the midfield had been strengthened, and the Serie A giants were in a backward situation, of course, they were not willing to spend time in their own backfield, and with Pirlo's shift, it was a blow to AC Milan's attacking horn.
The ball is at the feet of left wing-back Maldini.
Maldini burst forward with the ball down the left flank. Then came a sudden, long ball over the top that went straight across the entire Chelsea backline. Straight behind Grosso.
The long pass is another magic weapon for the Italian team!
Shevchenko competed with Grosso and Cannavaro for speed, and the Ukrainian nuclear warhead did not suffer any loss in speed, taking the lead to get the ball and knocking on his teammate Crespo who was inserted in the middle.
Cannavaro's clean tackle just now caused Crespo a lot of psychological shadows, but this time he was attracted to Shevchenko, which made Crespo's heart fall to the ground.
Terry?
He doesn't have what it takes to defend himself!
When Crespo was in the Chelsea team last season, John Terry was not an absolute mainstay of the team, often appearing as a sparring partner for Crespo at the training ground, and I don't know how many times he was teased by the Argentine.
He didn't know how this John Terry could captain Chelsea, but he did know that John Terry would never pose any threat to himself.
Crespo only has the ball in his eyes, his right leg is full of liliang, and he is ready to win and shoot!
Near the penalty spot, as long as the shot is accurate, this is a must-score!
"Three, two, one......"
Crespo silently counted the time in his heart, and the light in his eyes became hotter and hotter, and he seemed to have heard the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, and the image of tens of thousands of people intoxicating him.
"This is the time, come on!"
Crespo roared angrily, facing the direction the ball was coming from, and it was a kick!
"Oops!"
Crespo screamed in pain and flashed his old waist!
What's the situation with Nima, another kick of air? What about balls?
With the earth-shattering laughter and applause, Crespo almost broke his waist and turned his head to see that John. John Terry was lightly controlling the ball and found Grosso on the left with a pass.
What's going on?
How dare this kid break my ball?
Crespo was so angry that he almost blew up his lungs!
Twice, two feet burst into the air, this Nima is playing lonely!
On the other side, Grosso plugged in with the ball and strode forward, just like a pop flash.
Cafu immediately came up to grab it, because he knew that Grosso would be a big scourge if he had the opportunity to pass the ball to Rooney! That pervert, I shudder to think about it.
Originally, Grosso was confident that he could control the ball before Cafu pressed, but Milan's left-back Andrea Pirlo appeared behind him at an inopportune time, stuck to his side, and secretly pulled his shirt, which seriously affected the running speed, and the ball was obtained by Cafu first.
Grosso was unhappy with Pirlo's move. Torres immediately ran over and spoke to Gonzalez in Spanish on behalf of Grosso, but Gonzalez just smiled and motioned for the match to continue.
Andrea Pirlo has already received a yellow card, what more do you want?
Milan won the ball again, Cafu handed it to Pirlo, Pirlo passed to Seedorf, Seedorf passed to Rui. Costa, who knocked back Pirlo again......
Milan midfielder controls the tempo, Pirlo + Seedorf + Rui. Costa's midfield combination does have the ability and capital to control the ball. This, combined with the deliberate recycling of the Chelsea midfield, gave them time to put on their laurels.
If this were a Spanish team, the skillful passing would have been applauded by the fans. But this is AC Milan from Italy!
You've been passing around in midfield, not giving the ball to the striker to shoot, there's a fart!
In later generations, Spain and Barcelona achieved great success for many years, and finally changed the trend of shijie football from utilitarian football to offensive football, and the giants and strong teams have invested heavily in reinforcements and focused on strengthening the construction of the forward line.
Chelsea have achieved good results at the moment. But the influence is far from being comparable to the "Spain + Barcelona" of later generations, and utilitarian football is still the mainstream of this era, especially in Italy.
Goal!
Scoring goals is the only criterion for good or bad football!
Especially Crespo, who is anxious and has repeatedly "brilliant". Keep beckoning for the ball, he's going to attack! He's going to score!
Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui. The Costa trio had been playing well in the midfield, but they couldn't stand the complaints of their teammates and the boos of the fans. Costa had no choice but to make a direct pass. Found Crespo who kept waving for the ball.
The Argentine smiled instantly.
However, the position is close to the Chelsea penalty area. The Blues will not back down!
Makelle was the first to scramble.
In the former Chelsea team, Claude was Crespo's only feared defensive specialist, and now the Argentine centre-forward is still nervous against the French midfielder.
Crespo's cold sweat came out in an instant, just now Pirlo passed the ball, the Chelsea players fought so little, as soon as they got the ball, the opponent grabbed it as if they were desperate......
"Ball protection!"
This was a knee-jerk thought on Crespo's mind.
Joe Cannon. What exactly do you mean? Are you afraid that I will play well and slap you in the face?
Crespo didn't have time to think about it. In the face of Makellele's menacing, he subconsciously turned around......
"Crespo has the ball, he ...... Oh God, wonderful, Marseille maneuver! Crespo's turnaround was not as fluid as Zidane's, but he did control the ball as he stumbled, and ...... It's not like a 360-degree turn, it's a 361-degree ......."
"Huh? Wrong! It's not a Marseille maneuver, it's ...... This seems to be more difficult than the Marseille maneuver, because the appearance of Cannavaro caused Crespo to complete another 361-degree turn, and the movement is still like that, and he firmly controls the ball at his feet. ”
"Two 361-degree turns in a row, this is definitely another difficult move! Although it was not as complete as the Marseille slalom, this kind of slalom did an excellent job of protecting the ball, which is amazing, amazing! Crespo has finally shown the characteristics of a top star! ”
With the surprise of the commentators, Qiao Wanxian on the sidelines was also shocked into a cold sweat, and stood up directly from his seat, his eyes were open, and there were words in his mouth: "Oh, oh my mother, it's terrible!" The emperor is possessed, and Bengbu is whirling! ”
"Bengbu roundabout? What do you mean? ”
Boas clearly didn't understand.
Qiao Wanxian shook his head, and didn't bother to explain to him.
Ignorant villains, when people don't understand the great significance of this classic action!
This action is another original and unique achievement of the legendary Li Yi Emperor after the "Henry-style ball protection", which made its debut in the 2009 Chinese Super League Shaanxi Chanba VS Shanghai Shenhua match, and shocked the Chinese people in one fell swoop.
Because Zidane was born in Marseille, France, Zidane's maneuver is known as "Marseille maneuver", and Li Yi, who was born in Bengbu, Anhui Province, is certainly worthy of the nickname of "Bengbu maneuver".
Although it has been repeatedly compared, the power of the Bengbu slalom is far greater than the Marseille slalom, which is not only more difficult to turn 362 degrees, but also reflects the true meaning of the emperor's perfect ball protection.
No matter if you have a chasing soldier in front of you and an interception in the back, I will not move, and honesty is the highest level of ball protection.
In the impression of Qiao Wanxian in his previous life, such a shocking ball protection action emperor has only been shown once in his lifetime, and other players only have to look up, but I didn't expect that in this life and this life, he actually saw the shadow of the emperor in Crespo!
In an instant, Qiao Wanxian's heart was half cold. (To be continued......)
