Midfielder.

Chapter 383

It's either a one-shot kill or never, otherwise, you really don't know what the consequences will be.

However, this sentence is obviously not suitable for use in football games. On the turf, offense and defense are only completed in an instant.

Don't let Chelsea recover from the slump. It is estimated that Ancelotti has never heard of this sentence, but he no longer needs to verify the authenticity of this sentence, because those lunatics have already proved it with facts. This sentence is the truth. After equalizing the score, Chelsea began to fight to the death with AC Milan on the scene.

When the score was tied, the rhythm that was still controlled by AC Milan just now has completely become a tug-of-war mode.

It is actually a bit unfair to say that it is a tug-of-war, because after Chelsea scored a goal, they are now starting to exert their strength in the midfield.

This is also Mourinho's command on the sidelines. He did not ask Lampard to continue to press. At this time, neither side has any absolute chances, so draw the three lines closer and compress the distance between the midfield and the backcourt as much as possible. .

This not only prevents the opponent's attack from being played smoothly, but also allows Chelsea's players to better utilize their physical advantages. Since the Italians can't play the counterattack they want, then let this game The rhythm of the confrontation caught them back to their side, making them lose the kind of game habits they were most familiar with.

In fact, tactical arrangements are sometimes secondary. The most important thing is that Lin Yi's goal awakened everyone, not only the fans, but what's more, his Chelsea team's offensive enthusiasm was mobilized.

If he disappeared just now and Chelsea's offense stagnated, and now this kid suddenly appeared again, then you must not think that he just had a flash of inspiration, and that's not what happened to him.

And the success of the attack just now really made AC Milan more afraid. The two sideways pressure assists were completely retracted. The most important thing was the right side guarded by Cafu. Now he can only focus on defense.

Cafu didn't want his defensive area to become the opponent's offensive corridor. It was a mistake just now. In fact, he did a good job in the first 10 minutes, but the Brazilian's nature is to prefer offense.

But now this instinct has to be restrained temporarily. Facing Chelsea's counterattack, Cafu can only choose to stick to it.

After all, he still had to guard against that Dutch kid who was already going crazy, and he didn't want the opponent to continue to take advantage of him.

And after Robben completed an assist from here, he has enjoyed the feeling of cruising on the wing more and more, but he is enjoying it, and the old Cafu has suffered. He often has to face Robben's unreasonable straight-line breakthrough.

Less than 2 minutes after the score was equalized, Lin Yi escaped Gattuso's fierce interception in the midfield, but he did not continue to move forward. After all, he is not only facing Pirlo who is not very defensive, Seedorf Now that they have withdrawn, if they get entangled with them, it is very likely that this breakthrough will face the flanking defense of three people.

Lin Yi didn't think he could take advantage of it every time. After throwing off Gattuso, he didn't hesitate to send the ball directly with the arch of his foot. The precise passing route directly found Ronaldo who was already responding on the wing. Book.

Robben stopped and kicked the ball near the sideline. What he now has to face is an old fritter who is already in a defensive posture. However, Robben did not slow down his speed. He has been dribbling the ball at high speed.

move!While driving the ball forward, Robben suddenly dunked inward, as if he had already planned to cut inward, which made Cafu sideways to block his way, but Robben's instep directly followed the trend and accelerated to the bottom line .

hell!When Cafu saw Robben's fake move, he could only choose to chase after him, and deliberately blocked his inward cut route, but when Robben was a few steps away from the bottom line, he directly kicked the pass. middle.

That Robben guy didn't plan to cut inside and shoot at all, he just used such a short-distance sprint to find a chance to cross, and now he doesn't need to be a finisher, the elephant in the penalty area is the one in front of the goal killer.

When Cafu faced Robben's choice, he had nothing to do. Although the pass did not pose too much threat, Cafu still felt a little embarrassed when he looked back and saw the expressions of his teammates.

After all, I used to be the candidate for the best right back in the world, but now that a brat breaks through so recklessly, I guess it would be a bit embarrassing to change anyone. Cafu is in such a state now.

He can judge the opponent's intentions based on experience, but sometimes, he can judge it, but he may not be able to stop it. People get old when their legs get old. This is the law of nature. Even Kafu, who claims to be immortal, has to obey old.

In the face of a breakthrough like Robben that has no reason to talk about, Cafu does feel a little difficult now.

And this kind of scene has not appeared once, in the five or six minutes after Chelsea scored, it was continuously staged.

There are no fancy moves, and sometimes Robben is looking for opportunities in fake moves such as cutting inside and bottoming out. After all, Cafu is already in his 30s, and he cannot always maintain this high-speed sprinting defensive posture.

And Robben doesn't care about his success rate, especially when Lin Yi consciously handed the ball to him, for no other reason than to hope that Robben will use this kind of impact style of play to make Cafu consume a lot of energy in a short period of time. physical fitness.

A boy in his early 20s faced an old guard who was close to his twilight years. Rao Cafu, who was once the only one in European football, could not withstand such an unreasonable sprint. In just five or six minutes, Robben has been raging here several times, and the wind-like speed really made Cafu a little bit overwhelmed.

It’s not that Cafu can’t defend against him, it’s just that in this kind of defense that has no skills and is completely reckless in speed, Cafu has to try his best to block the inside every time, preventing Robben from overtaking and cutting inside. A little run down.

Pirlo even sometimes has to help defend in place to limit Robben's unscrupulous breakthroughs, but the Dutch Peter Pan doesn't care whether he can pass the opponent, he often passes the ball and breaks right.

This kind of cross from the wing began to appear frequently in the sky over AC Milan after Lin Yi scored a goal. It is different from the style of play after the opening. Now the cross is more fast and flat. The kind that often makes AC Milan's central defenders scratch their heads. Nesta's header clearance almost became an own goal against his own goal.

Robben is too used to sending such tricky passes, and Drogba can finally enjoy the treatment of a pure center forward. His header advantage in the opponent's penalty area began to frequently cause trouble for Dida's goal.

Although Stam is still hovering next to Drogba, one offensive and one defensive, the same strong body competes for the judgment of the landing point and the confrontation of the blocking position. In fact, Stam really can't take advantage of it now.

Originally, it would have taken a lot of effort for him to block Drogba's impact, but now that Robben sent such frequent crosses from the wing, Stam could only go all out and fight the opponent, but this kind of physical confrontation, basically It's [-]-[-].

Just like before, Robben failed to get rid of Cafu's marking, but his short-distance sprint cross passed the Brazilian's defense and directly hit the small penalty area. Stam failed to catch it this time. Rising elephant.

Drogba almost took off and headed the ball less than five meters away from the goal, and the strength of the hammer was quite fierce, but this time he headed it a bit too aggressively, Dida raised his hand subconsciously and held the ball out beam.

But this also made Dida break out in a cold sweat. If the header is slightly angled, the consequences may be unimaginable. Dida also reminded Stam loudly, "Don't let that guy have such a header again. !"

This is also the first time that the Brazilian goalkeeper has lost his temper at his teammates. There is no way, he is indeed a little nervous now, especially after Lin Yi used such a playful shot to break through the ten fingers, his nerves have been tense.

Faced with such yelling, Stam didn't show any dissatisfaction, after all, he did make a mistake just now.

But Stam was still a bit depressed, but that was only because Drogba's frequent impacts caused a lot of trouble for his defense. Now he has nothing to do but try to pull the strong African elephant as much as possible.

Stam didn't want the next goal to be conceded in his own defense zone, but in Chelsea's subsequent corner kick, Drogba and Terry's double ghost hit the goal, and Stam and Nesta appeared again. Cold sweat all over his forehead.

Many people said before the game that Chelsea's set-pieces will always be their big killers. Terry, Drogba, Lampard, Carvalho, Gallas, including Ferreira, these big men It will cause you a lot of trouble.

Just like this, Drogba rushed forward, Stam followed, but neither of them could get the first point, but Terry, who was ambushing behind them, followed up in time, and his header was just He rubbed against the pillar and flew out.

After Terry missed the header, he waved his hand depressed, but compared with him, Nesta may be more depressed.

In fact, Nesta also wanted to stop Terry, but the gap in jumping is really not a shortcoming that can be easily made up for. When Terry rushed up, it was really difficult to grab the header with Nesta's jumping ability. win each other.

Although the heights of the two are almost the same, Nesta's knee has always been injured, which also limits his ability to compete for the top, while Terry is in his best form. It is almost clear at a glance .

Normally, Nesta relies more on his experience and Stam's assistance in defense, but today these two prerequisites are not met, and Stam can't take care of himself. Similarly, Terry is not inferior in terms of on-the-spot experience. .

Nesta also knew that in the next few 10 minutes, whenever he had the opportunity to set the ball, he would have to face the impact of Terry. No more counts.

There are too many high points where the opponent can compete for the header, and it is simply impossible to defend against. If you focus on one, you may miss the other. The opponent can have five or six people to form a header attack threat, which is simply too terrible.

This is what Ancelotti has been worried about. Compared with the average height of his back line, Chelsea has a clear advantage. High-altitude bombing, this simple and direct method, can completely become their sharpest offensive method. Three or four centimeters higher, this is not a small trouble, but also a hidden danger for the back line.

In the first 10 minutes, Chelsea did not get such corner kicks and free kicks close to the goal, but from now on, they will use more and more such attacks to threaten AC Milan's goal.

Passes, free kicks, corner kicks, the bombing brought about by this kind of attack will continue to test Dida's nerves in the next game. Don't think that if you escape the first time, you can avoid the second time , it's not possible.

Such a shot not only made the players of AC Milan nervous, but also made the Italian fans in the stands and in front of the TV nervous. They sweated for their team in the two consecutive header attacks .

Sacchi, who had been boastful before, is not as turbulent as he was just now. As a head coach, he also knows that once the game is dragged into such a stalemate, the competition will be an all-round confrontation.

In terms of positional battles, Sacchi is capable of supporting his old club, but it is obvious that in terms of headers, there may not be many countries in the entire European continent that are better at doing this than players from England.

No problem, the long pass has always been the housekeeping skill of the English, and that skill has been honed for hundreds of years.

Especially after Chelsea's momentum came up, AC Milan's defense was not as stable as it was at the beginning of the game. Just like these two headers, they also began to make unnecessary mistakes in defense.

The most terrible thing is not this point. The pressure of defense must come from the disadvantage of offense. When the opponent can free up their hands to suppress you, this is the most dangerous. Now AC Milan can't find any opportunities in the frontcourt.

If we say that in the first 10 minutes, they were able to make the counterattack flourish, then now, Kaka, Seedorf and others have been severely restricted by Mourinho's compression tactics, and it can even be said that A little embarrassed.

The back line is [-] meters ahead, and the midfielder is compressed [-] meters back. In the distance between the middle arc and the penalty area, Chelsea relied on Mourinho's instructions to hoard heavy troops in order to contain the opponent's penetration and attack. run.

Mourinho can even withdraw Lampard. You can imagine how much this guy wants to control the midfield. After being blocked by AC Milan with a counterattack in the opening game, he doesn't want this scene to repeat itself. once.

Squeeze them!This is Mourinho's request, let these guys stay away from the defense line as much as possible, stay away from their own penalty area, and let the opponent extend the offensive starting point to the midfield, which will bring more opportunities for the team to react.

The opening mistake was because Chelsea's defenders retreated too far back, unable to block the opponent in time, so that those guys could run to respond calmly. Now, Mourinho is going to cut off their free passage.

Not only that, while cutting off the opponent's offensive connection, Mourinho also asked Lin Yi to frequently cause trouble for the opponent in the midfield, and that kid is doing exactly that now, this little madman has gone crazy .

Lin Yi dared to provoke Gattuso after scoring a goal. He was not afraid of that guy pressing him to mark him. He had avoided this guy before because he was not afraid of him. Chance.

After all, there is a price to pay for a strong attack, but this kind of sudden counterattack can often kill the opponent with a single blow. Now that the score has been evened, there is nothing to say, isn't it just a competition of strength between the two sides?

Lin Yi never feared anyone on the court, including the bearded hunk in front of him. He just thought about how to rush past the opponent. As for how the opponent would defend him, Lin Yi never thought about it.

Either you are not afraid of fouling me, or you just watch me pass you, Lin Yi doesn't care what Gattuso will do now, he is just thinking about what trouble he can cause for the opponent every time he takes the ball .

In the first 10 minutes, Lin Yi may have only made more than 10 passes, but in the short [-] minutes after the goal, there have been more than a dozen threatening passes from his feet, and each time the AC Milan team Defense is very uncomfortable.

Moreover, Lin Yi doesn't stick to the attack in the middle at all, he is still wandering around, which makes Gattuso very uncomfortable when defending. It is impossible for him not to follow Lin Yi, but once he leaves the middle, Pirlo will face Lan. Pad shock.

Don't expect Pirlo to have any defensive ability. He is a conductor, not a midfielder like Gattuso.

In the attack in the last few minutes, Lin Yi pulled Gattuso away and then created two chances for Lampard to break through. It's just that the guy was too hasty when he shot, otherwise Dida would have had a bigger problem trouble.

Now Sacchi is also quiet, he doesn't want to continue to slap himself, the little guy who behaved badly in his mouth is now using this way of slapping the face, denying Sacchi time and time again with beautiful breakthroughs and passes lies.

Just such a kid who gave the entire AC Milan team a headache, would he be stage fright?If there are still people who say yes, then Ancelotti really wants to slap him with a big mouth. Originally, AC Milan had about [-]% of the ball, but now because of the kid's sudden explosion, Chelsea has come from behind. The passive ones are already Italians.

Nearly four and 10 minutes have passed in the game, and there are only a few minutes before the end of the first half. Ancelotti now just wants to stay until the intermission, and then adjust the current state of the team to reverse this passive situation.

But he forgot that there was a little lunatic who didn't want to keep the score until the end of the midfield, and he had already moved. He wanted to use his nimble feet to scare the Italians again.

(Tomorrow is the finals, will the Mavericks repeat the last tragedy? I hope Kidd can get his wish...)
