Two hundred and sixty-two, mutual restraint
Deportivo La Coruna was lucky, with Chelsea having at least a couple of chances to extend their lead before half-time.
However, a couple of shots were off target, and in the end Chelsea went into the break with a one-goal lead.
Chelsea fans are not surprised at all, they think this is normal, Chelsea's strength is real, but Deportivo fans feel that this shijie is a bit upside down, beyond their expectations, in their opinion, the powerful Deportivo has no advantage in front of others, but was beaten by Chelsea and couldn't find the north, extremely embarrassed.
Establishing an early lead and dominating on the pitch is the state of Chelsea at the moment.
After entering the locker room, Lynn generously praised the performance of his players.
Of course, the team's performance today was so good that even Lynn himself felt a little crazy, far exceeding his expectations, but Lynn was still sober and knew that this was not the norm, and the main thing was that the two teams were so strong in style.
Maybe Deportivo La Coruna would have played in a different way, maybe Chelsea would not have been so easy to take the initiative, but they relied too much on Belleron to give Chelsea, who are good at expanding their defensive areas, a good grasp, and in terms of means, the Spanish team, who are accustomed to seeing the sun, are not so smart against Chelsea, who are used to everything.
Praise and praise alone is not enough, and Lynn also has something to disagree with, "You guys controlled the situation in the first half and got a lot of chances, but, guys. I'm just as amazed at your ability to squander your chances! ”
"Don't look at me like that, if you see the replay for yourselves. will believe that the score should never be 1:0! What about the second half? If we continue to squander like this. I think the outcome of the game may make you feel sad! ”
After finishing speaking, Lynn remembered something again, so he speculated, "In addition, pay attention, the other party will not just raise his hand to surrender, he will definitely adjust and want to turn the tables, so." Be aware that they may create offsides on a large scale, which is an opportunity, of course, if you don't pay attention, it is a trap! ”
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Lynn was just guessing, based on the fact that Deportivo La Coruna has a rational manager, and even if he gambles, he will try to take advantage of certain ways that are more profitable.
A Coruña is strong on the offensive. And in order to break down the enemy in front of them, they must step up their attack, and as for the defense, Irueta has absolute confidence. They can't stop it!
So what did Deportivo do in the past when it was left behind?
Offensive! Let go of the offense!
As for defense, it's offside!
Lynn wasn't actually sure, but. Irueta is sure, because in addition to this trick is reliable. He didn't have a choice.
Irueta doesn't really care too much about the outcome of this game, he has to adjust. With an eye on the future, he has taken a lot of inspiration from Chelsea.
Therefore, he simply showed his ability to play Chelsea, and as for the victory or defeat, he was almost certain that his team would definitely lose.
"Defend against the opponent's counterattack, that's it, we make an offside position, but in the attack, Juan, your position is too far forward, just hitting the opponent's defensive core, so, your role is limited, I need you to retreat-"
Belleron felt it deeply, and nodded involuntarily, yes, he had the feeling of hitting a big net, and he couldn't use his strength.
Irueta also put Sergio in the position to build a protective net around Belleron and share the pressure on Belleron.
'Also, they are very characteristic and we are not used to it, so in order to avoid unnecessary mistakes, I want everyone to try to reduce unnecessary dribbling and speed up the pace of passing.
Iruetta was finished, and he didn't know what the effect would be, but it was all he could do.
As a capable manager, Irueta also sees something wrong with Chelsea's ability to restrain their own team.
However, he also sees the advantages of Chelsea's passing and cutting combinations, which are difficult to prevent, although it is a temporary change from his players, and he does not expect any extravagance, but he wants to know if it is worth following in the future.
And if you want to break the opponent's defensive system, you can only rely on cooperation, that is, passing to complete, as for the player's individual ability, in Iruetta's view, it is nonsense, no matter how strong the individual ability, it is impossible to win in the defense of many people, or need help
In the second half, the two sides fought again.
Deportivo La Coruna has clearly changed their tactics, handling the ball more quickly and decisively.
And to the surprise of the Chelsea coaching staff and players, Laco did indeed adopt a tactic of creating an offside position.
Less than five minutes into the game, Anelka and Palacio fell into the offside trap of their opponents.
Lynn was happy when he saw it, this offside position is too demanding for the defender, and he must not make mistakes, maybe ten successes don't feel anything, but as long as he succeeds once, it is fatal.
And Belleron's position retreated, which made Lynn a little disdainful, really thinking that Chelsea's defensive system was so fragile that Emerson would not easily follow him.
Soon, Belleron was frustrated to find that he had run into another guy who was even more uncomfortable than Emerson, Frank Lampard.
Emerson's defence is sticky, once it is touched, it is difficult to get rid of it, but Frank Lampard is different, his whole body is like a steel plate, not only does it hurt after hitting it, but it is also difficult to stabilize his footing, let alone control the ball at his feet.
There was no way, Belleron simply took Lampard around in circles, and the power of attacking was directly handed over to Sergio.
I have to say that this method of belleron has no jishu content, but the effect is really good.
At this moment, Laco's offensive ability was released all of a sudden, and the previous inherent routine, which was eaten to death by Chelsea, had no effect at all.
Now, Sergio is not an attacking genius, but he knows one thing, and that is to pass the ball wherever his teammates are available.
There was no trace to follow, and in order to avoid mistakes, Sergio tried to get the ball out of the ball quickly, and did not consider the success rate, which made it impossible for Chelsea to focus on when defending.
"Is this a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?" Lynn was angry in her heart, how could she always encounter such a strange thing, it was not a way, but she couldn't find a way for a while.
There was no way, Lynn had to be tougher, pressing all over the court, squeezing the opponent's activity space!
As a result, Chelsea's situation immediately reversed again, and the situation that Laco had just opened up was gone again.
When Chelsea are in full swing, the goals are a logical one.
In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Panucci made a successful steal at the back, and this time he did not pass the ball step by step to the front according to the old routine, but directly sent a long kick to the front.
This time, his pass landed precisely and was well positioned, right behind the opposition defender and in the middle of the two defenders.
Ronaldo plugged in at high speed from the crowd and got on the ball.
"Ronaldo! No offside! Nice anti-offside! Single-handed!! The narrator shouted.
Chelsea fans, who haven't been active for a while, are clamoring and this is a must-kill opportunity!
Despite the desperate pursuit of Romonro and Cesar, and the other Laco players kept signaling to the referee for offside, Ronaldo had already entered the penalty area without any stops.
Soon, there was a deafening cheer in the stadium!
Lynn also got up and came to the sidelines, and the rabbit tooth ran to the corner flag area again, I guess he was very proud of his luck there today.
This goal is not surprising at all, Deportivo La Coruna put so much effort into the front field in order to equalize as soon as possible, leaving so many gaps in the backline, isn't it just to give strikers like Ronaldo and Anelka opportunities.
Therefore, for the arrival of the goal, Lynn felt that it was a matter of course, and there were no surprises at all.
Looking at the time, Lynn turned around and beckoned to a few people on the bench, warm up, there is no suspense in the game, it's time to adjust. (To be continued......)
