'Chelsea are starting to make substitutions!'

"Pan Yi is ready to change three people at once."

'It's Bernardo Silva, Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic.

"Just change three people, will this be a reproduction of the fighting style of the last game against Crystal Palace?"

"Oh, not really. It was a complete counter-substitution. Now on the run are Oscar, Willian and Mikel. ”

The fans even looked a little disappointed. Maybe it's because of this script, it doesn't seem to be as exciting as it was in the last game......"

——

Pan Yi didn't choose such a "stimulating" adjustment method, of course, for a reason.

After all, this game is not the same as the game against Crystal Palace.

At that time, the Crystal Palace was fully defending, and there was no counterattack ability at all, so Pan Yi dared to press everyone up.

Roma, on the other hand, are always threatening to counter-attack Chelsea!

Totti, the wolf king, is really not a joke.

In addition, the overall strength of Roma is also stronger than that of Crystal Palace, especially in the midfield, Nainggolan, De Rossi, and Thiago Motta are all good in attack and defense, and can well complete the conversion of Rome from attack to defense, or from defense to attack.

Especially De Rossi.

He was in the middle of midfield at Roma today, and now at 31 years old, he is becoming more and more composed on the pitch, reading the game and directing his team-mates to make accurate runs when necessary.

His athletic prowess allows him to cover the entire midfield, while his athletic fitness gives De Rossi a strong aerial counterload and bayonet fight.

Of course, De Rossi can still get forward when needed.

After all, he has good passing ability, and he has a long-range shot, and his scoring ability is actually quite strong.

On a couple of occasions in the first half, long balls from De Rossi found Florenzi and Gervinho on the flanks, causing problems for Chelsea's defence.

It is precisely because of this that even if he is one goal behind now, Pan Yi does not dare to really press all the players, otherwise he will be involved in one or two more by the experienced De Rossi, Totti and others, and he will really return to heaven.

Therefore, Pan Yi's solution is to let a few players with stronger running ability and stronger assault ability intersperse back and forth from the rib position of the winger to the midfield, so as to cut off the connection between the Roman midfield and the wing, including the forward line.

In this way, Roma's counter-attack has no source, and Chelsea can attack boldly and confidently.

And Chelsea's original Oscar, Willian and others on the pitch are not saying that they don't have this ability, but their form has not been very good since returning from the international break, which affected their performance in today's game.

After all, every time they go back to the national team, these South American feet are always the most affected.

Needless to say, Hazard, who came on as a substitute, is the ace player in the current Chelsea team, whether it is the ability to break through with the ball, or the side strategy, and the ball in the middle, he is the only one;

And the king of the ball is in good shape now, and replacing him on the field will definitely cause great changes to the situation on the field.

As for seat B, it is a candidate who is more in line with Pan Yi's current tactical requirements.

Although he went up to play as a winger, he is a player who can play any position in midfield, so he is the best person to move between the flanks and the middle, especially to break the link between Roma's ribs.

In addition, he has a good attitude and active running, and he can also help a lot in defense.

And the exchange of Matic for Mikel is purely from the perspective of strengthening the attack.

Mikel is physically strong, has good ball control, and has good distribution and through balls, but is still a little less able to see the big picture and read the game than Nemanja Matic.

Especially now that more long through balls are needed to break through Roma's central midfield defence, Nemanja Matic is undoubtedly the better option.

Now that all the substitutions have been completed, all the cards in Pan Yi's hand have been played, including the details of the tactical change, and Pan Yi also ordered the three substitutes to be brought to the field.

The final outcome depends on the performance of these players in the last 20 minutes!

——

'Chelsea have made changes and we have to be careful.'

On the pitch, such thoughts crossed De Rossi's mind.

Now all Chelsea opponents will have this idea when they see Pan Yi substitution, and De Rossi is no exception.

As a vice-captain of the Roma team for many years, as a midfield commander, De Rossi also has a keen sense of the situation on the field.

He has now noticed that after the Chelsea substitutions, there have been some changes in the positions of Eden Hazard and the B-seat compared to the original two wingers.

The main feature is that the two Chelsea wingers now not only hold on to the flanks to break through, but also often swim to the flanks in the middle to bring in the response.

At this point, Chelsea's two wing-backs will be positioned higher up the pitch to make up for the gaps in the wingers that have left the wingers behind.

At this time, whether it is Hazard or B, and then suddenly rush to the side and form a coordination with the wingback, then the attack power will increase exponentially!

This should be Pan Yi's feint strategy.

Pretending to hoard troops in the middle lane, the actual focus of the attack is still on the flanks.

As soon as De Rossi thought of this, he heard the shouts of head coach Rudy Garcia in his ears:

"Be careful with both sides! Nainggolan, Motta, you all have to take care to protect the two flanks, and don't let them pass easily! ”

De Rossi nodded secretly.

This manager of his own is still very good.

He had just figured out Pan Yi's strategy, and Rudy Garcia on the sidelines had already given a plan.

After all, the two wingers who have just come up from Chelsea, whether it is Hazard or B, have a relatively large range of activities.

And both of them are very fast, strong individual ability, and very dangerous one-on-one, not only can they be at the front, to the middle, but also can pull back to the wing, and then cut in from the side to create a threat.

In this case, once the opposing full-backs step forward, with these two wingers, plus the central striker Lukaku, it is difficult to defend on their own two full-backs alone, so it is necessary to strengthen the defense on the wing appropriately.

In other words, in addition to the two full-backs and the two full-backs who were originally responsible for defending the wings, the two midfielders also joined the support to ensure that nothing was lost.

It's Rudy Garcia, after all!

In the two seasons after he joined Roma, the whole team of Roma has really changed a lot, and the results have also improved a lot, this coach is really strong! ——

However, after a few minutes of the game, De Rossi firmly felt that something was wrong.

Chelsea's wide attacks didn't seem to be as ferocious as they could have been.

Conversely, the opposing wingers seem to be playing more often in the flanks than returning to the wings.

The same can be said of their two wing-backs, who are not as often involved as De Rossi or Rudy Garcia would have assumed to play with the wingers, but are also often deployed in the middle of midfield to defend and press.

As a player on the pitch, at the heart of Roma's midfield, De Rossi immediately felt the change in Chelsea's attacking and defensive style after the substitution.

Specifically, on the pitch, it was increasingly difficult for Roma's three midfielders to get the ball up front or on the wings, and many times Roma players had to reluctantly pass the ball back to De Rossi, who then chose to pass it to central defenders or full-backs.

The ubiquity of Chelsea players has also put De Rossi under pressure.

It's an intuitive feeling when a player is playing on the pitch, and he can't tell what is going on, but he feels like he's being more and more constrained and has less and less room to move.

Whether it is Eden Hazard, Seat B, or Joao Cancelo or Azpilicueta, they always seem to be shaking him back and forth, left and right, but they are not in a hurry to grab his ball.

While De Rossi can still play the ball, he can feel that with each of his catches, there are fewer and fewer points around him to catch the ball, and his connection with his teammates is becoming less and less.

More and more, he felt like a lonely boat floating in the middle of the sea, completely isolated from the world.

That's not right! Boss, this doesn't taste right!

Something must have gone wrong!

De Rossi suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Pan Yi is going to tear apart the entire formation of Rome!

Roma's current 4-5-1 formation has five players in the midfield who are very close together and have a strong connection with the back four.

But what they are most afraid of is being torn into a section by the opponent, so that the head can't take care of the tail, the tail can't reach the head, and the whole team is out of touch, so they can't play the most efficient counterattack attack, and even the defense will have big problems.

And Roma's two full-backs, Holebas and Manolas, are more of a traditional defensive wing-back, and Rudy Garcia is playing with them today to solidify the defence.

They don't have the same attacking prowess as Chelsea's two wing-backs, which makes it even more difficult to counter this Chelsea strategy.

After all, if Roma's wing-backs can press down the flanks, then Chelsea's wingers and wing-backs won't be as reckless as they are now to go all the way down the middle to press Roma's central defence.

At this thought, De Rossi looked to the sidelines.

He was going to wait until the dead ball and then take the opportunity to communicate with Rudy Garcia and report the situation to the manager to see if there was any way to break the game.

But at this time, a sudden shout startled De Rossi:

"Be careful...... Behind your back! ”

The voice came from centre-back Douglas, who was shouting the words as he passed it to his vice-captain.

De Rossi is now facing his centre-back, but he also understands that he must have a Chelsea player behind him.

This is the role of the players on the field to speak and echo each other.

Playing on the field is not like playing FIFIA, after all, everyone's vision is limited, and the situation behind and on the side is often not taken care of.

If someone can notice all the movements on the field for a split second, they will often get a compliment, called "God's perspective".

But there are really few people in this world who have God's perspective.

So De Rossi stretched out his leg to stop the ball, trying to control the ball at his feet first and then seek a chance to get the ball out.

He's not a sticky player and the key position he's in now doesn't make it possible for him to do so.

Finding the ball at the first time and then passing the ball out is the most important thing for De Rossi to do.

Then De Rossi felt a shock in his back, apparently a stout man stepped up to interfere with his next move.

It's Romelu Lukaku.

In the past seventy minutes or so, De Rossi has confronted Lukaku many times, and the feeling he has is -

This guy is so strong!

Although De Rossi's confrontation ability is actually very strong, getting involved with Lukaku still makes him feel like his whole body is going to fall apart.

No matter what confrontation or defensive skills are used, 150 catties and 200 catties are combined, which is a natural disadvantage.

In addition, Lukaku's speed is also very fast, and the two hundred pounds that sprint up, and then directly use inertia to push against your body, that sour ......

Therefore, De Rossi will not think about hitting Lukaku with his back, after all, his ability to protect the ball is not as good as Henry or Li Yi.

So, after De Rossi stabilized his form, he was ready to give the ball to the left side to full-back Holebas.

But just the moment he gave the ball away, a blue figure appeared on his right side like a ghost!

It's Bernardo Silva!

He has been pulling from the winger position to the middle during this time, but he was obviously standing next to Motta just now, why did he suddenly rush to De Rossi's side!

"Oops, this is what they have been planning for a long time!"

As soon as this thought flashed through De Rossi's mind, the ball was quickly kicked by the B seat and stabbed to Matic who was running fast on the other side.

After receiving this tackle, Matic did not hesitate at all and went straight to the top ball.

Roma's defenders were not quick enough to react, with both Mbiwa and Manolas turning and chasing back at the same time.

But one of the Chelsea players on this side was quicker than them.

Like a bolt of lightning, he sprinted forward and cut between the two defenders.

"Hazard, it's Hazard!!!!"

The whole stadium was cheered!

When the king of the ball gets the ball, their hearts will be filled with infinite expectations!

Or rather, it's more bottomed!

At this time, Hazard passed through the gap between the two defenders, and then accelerated again, throwing the two people away completely.

During the whole process, the two Roma defenders who were chasing back had nothing to do with Hazard.

On the other side, centre-back Douglas, who was dragging at the back of Roma's line, also chased the ball quickly.

He sensed that Hazard's goal seemed to be a bit too big.

Therefore, he judged that as long as he increased his speed, he could directly destroy this extremely threatening attack!

But just before he was about to catch up with the ball, Hazard somehow suddenly jumped up from behind, grabbed him, stabbed the ball with his foot, and stabbed the ball forward.

Then, at that moment, Hazard swept past him like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Douglas was almost stupid!

Hurry, it's so fast!

But Douglas reacted immediately.

He realised that Hazard was about to shoot on his next move, so he hurriedly leaned over there.

Iron Mountain!

But Hazard was too fast, he didn't get it this time!

Douglas quickly added a stealthy jersey tug.

It's also a must-have skill for an experienced defender.

It's just that the action doesn't need to be big, after all, if it's too big and pulls people down, the referee won't be good if you award a penalty.

But small gestures like this are also important.

In the case of Hazard's high-speed running, as long as it affects his movements slightly, it may affect his subsequent operations.

And on the football field, the timing is fleeting, as long as it is delayed a little, even if it is only a few tenths of a second, there is still a chance to make amends.

Because at this time, the wingback Manolas on the other side is also quickly helping to fill in the position, and he may be able to catch up after delaying.

As soon as he pulled like this, Hazard's speed seemed to be affected a little, and the distance between him and the ball seemed to be a little farther away.

The distance from the ball, which is also an important factor in the quality of a player's shots.

Why do many players have to step well when playing set-pieces?

It is to ensure that at the moment of kicking the ball, the distance between the supporting foot and the power foot is just right, so that the ball can be kicked with the most angle and power.

But in sports warfare, it's often hard to have perfect spacing.

The ability to maintain such a gap in the fierce confrontation and high-speed running is an important reference criterion for opening up the gap between top players and ordinary players.

In this regard, the best in world football at the moment is probably Messi.

He always keeps the ball in front of or to his side at the right distance, keeping it out of his control and making it difficult for defenders to time their feet.

And Hazard in this period is actually not much worse than Messi.

The king of the ball is not called for nothing!

But the problem is that now his jersey has been pulled a little, a little bit of a stall, and even a little bit out of a steady trend, and it's a little bit difficult to catch up with the ball again.

At this time, Manolas on the other side had already rushed over, and goalkeeper Skorupski also pounced.

And because of the speed of this counterattack, Hazard also rushed into the penalty area single-handedly, and the fastest teammate was not yet in place!

So, there is only one option!

Hazard did make the right choice.

I saw him lean back, and before Manolas came over, he also grabbed Skorupski, who abandoned the door, and gently stabbed him with his toes!

The ball rolled right under Skorupski's stride and into the back of the net behind him!

“GOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！！！”

'It was Eden Hazard again, his goal equalised! It's 1:1 now! ”

After the referee blew the whistle for the goal, the entire stadium seemed to wake up suddenly.

Because just after the cheers of Hazard with the ball, there was a suffocating calm.

All Chelsea fans watched with bated breath as Eden Hazard put on a performance.

And then.

In an instant, a frenzied, thunderous shout poured down from the stands.

Countless fans chanted Hazard's name in unison, and many even danced with excitement.

After holding it for more than an hour, I finally scored!

And it was such a brilliant goal!

Eden Hazard, on the other hand, celebrated with his hands in his ears and his tongue out in celebration after scoring a stunning solo goal.

It's a tribute to the Argentine legend Riquelme, who made a similar celebration many years ago when he was at Boca Juniors.

The surrounding teammates were quick to pounce on him, surrounding Hazard in the middle, each shouting excitedly for words that no one could hear.

"This ball is so beautiful, it's unbelievable!"

"Eden Hazard single-handedly passed three players on the other side, and in the midst of the heavy baggage, he relied on his individual ability to fight his way out and score the equaliser for Chelsea!"

"And the initiation of this goal was just as exciting. Roma De Rossi took the ball, Lukaku immediately leaned on the opponent so that he couldn't turn around, and then Bernardo Silva's up and Matic's through pass! ”

"It's all like it's been carefully rehearsed, and every process is meticulous and unobtrusive!"

'What's even more commendable is that such a goal happened just a few minutes after the Chelsea substitution!'

"And Pan Yi's replacement of Bernardo Silva, Nemanja Matic, and of course Hazard, who scored beautiful goals, have all played an extremely important role!"

"This is the second time in a row that Pan Yi has had such a magical substitution."

'If Chelsea have been hard to mess with their incisive attacking and big results since the start of the season, can we say ...... now?

"The backward Chelsea is also not easy to mess with, and the Chelsea after Pan Yi's substitution is even more difficult to mess with!"

The whole stadium at Stamford Bridge became a sea of joy, but the joy did not belong to the Romans.

Roma manager Rudy Garcia slapped himself on the forehead in anger from the sidelines.

At the moment of the goal, he was actually shocked by Hazard's beautiful goal, but at the same time, he also regretted that he was too slow to react.

When the Chelsea players broke the ball at De Rossi's feet and launched a fast attack, Rudy Garcia sensed the danger, and he instantly understood Pan Yi's intentions.

Chelsea's substitutions and tactical changes were all aimed at cutting off the link between Roma's midfield and the front and forcing Roma to leave the ball at the back more often than not, at De Rossi's feet.

Then by increasing the pressing of De Rossi, he forced Roma to make mistakes.

Everyone knows that De Rossi is the eye of this Roma team, but his hidden danger is also quite deadly.

Although he can't be the captain of Rome in his thirties, he is indeed not the young man he used to be!

His consciousness and vision are still outstanding, but the frequency of his feet is indeed much slower than when he was younger.

The so-called "body can't keep up with consciousness" is pretty much what it means.

The game played for nearly 80 minutes, and De Rossi, as the pivot of the Roma midfield's offensive and defensive transition, also consumed a lot of physical energy, which further exacerbated and amplified this problem.

Pan Yi saw this and designed such a set of tactics to force De Rossi to take the ball regularly, and then let people press.

With the wingers constantly moving to the middle, and the wingbacks and centre-forwards often pressing, De Rossi finally made a mistake.

In other words, Hazard's goal certainly has the factor of his personal ability, but the source of all this is still triggered after Pan Yi's targeted tactics.

Rudy Garcia turned his head and looked at Pan Yi in the home team's coaching area.

Pan Yi was hugging his aides and high-fives the players on the bench as he celebrated Eden Hazard's goal.

The game was tied 1-1, and the two sides were back on the same starting line.

Rudy Garcia can accept a draw, but will Pan Yi accept it?

After being scored, Rudy Garcia figured out Pan Yi's strategy, but he was not sure what would change after Pan Yi was drawn.

But he also has to make adjustments, otherwise De Rossi's point is likely to be blown up.

Paredes up, De Rossi down.

Ljajic up, Totti down.

Use two young players in their 20s to replace two veterans who can't run a little, and strive to do a better job defensively.

Although it was a pity to be equalized after leading for nearly 80 minutes, the draw was considered to have achieved the set goal.

As long as you can take a point at Stamford Bridge, this away trip will be a success!
