Midfielder.

Chapter 486

The two extreme styles, Lin Yi's high-speed breakthrough and his speed of the ball, have driven the Chelsea team to start speeding up, while Riquelme's slowness has also affected the Villarreal team.

One is as cunning as a rabbit, and the other is as steady as a mountain. The contest between Lin Yi and Riquelme extends to the entire team, making the game so clear that even the commentary on the sidelines feels that there are not enough words.

"Chelsea's No. 22 player Lin Yi broke through with the ball. He passed Senna's marking and passed through. Anelka volleyed from less than 15 meters from the goal, but the ball was over the crossbar."

"God, that ball just now was really dangerous, it's Almighty God who blessed Barbosa!"

The commentary finally took a breath, but before he could calm down, his little heart was stimulated again.

"It's that black-haired kid with the ball in midfield again! When facing Tacchinardi and Senna, he can also pass the ball from between the two and let Robben form a shot. "

This kind of commentary has appeared at least five or six times in the first 25 minutes, and each time Lin Yi used his extremely fast frequency of fake moves to torment Villarreal's two midfielders.

Whether it is Senna, who has gradually become the main midfielder in Spain, or Tacchinardi, who is from the defensive country Italy, they are a bit helpless when facing Lin Yi's extremely fast breakthrough and extremely realistic fake moves. If you follow the defense, you may be deceived. If you don't follow, who would dare not follow?
Rao is that Villarreal has always been able to rank in the middle and upper reaches of the 32 teams in the number of goals conceded in the previous UEFA Champions League. It relies on this tough defense starting from the midfield and the multi-point interception of the defense. .

However, when facing Chelsea's offensive line led by Lin Yi, this multi-layered defense gave Lin Yi enough space to use. He specifically looked for the slightest gap between the defender and the midfielder.

If Senna is too close to the back line, Lin Yi will often dribble the ball at high speed, and then rush directly to him.

If Senna chooses to follow Lin Yi's footsteps and carry out anticipatory defense, the result must be tragic.

In the first 10 minutes, Senna tried to defend like this, but he was repeatedly led by the nose by Lin Yi.

And twice, Lin Yi took the shot directly by himself, because Senna retreated too deep, and the distance was already within Lin Yi's shooting range, but the kid was unlucky at that time.

However, Barbosa was also taken aback by Lin Yi's cold shot, and every time he passed the goal just barely.

Not to mention the goalkeeper of Villarreal, even the on-site commentary couldn't help exclaiming twice. Fortunately, Lin Yi is not the kind of sharp shooter who can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps. These two shots, in the end, came back in vain .

But Pellegrini dragged Tacchinardi from the sidelines and kept telling him to cooperate with Senna to complete the defense in the middle, and not to let Lin Yi take the initiative every time. This situation is very unfavorable.

Although Chelsea lacked Gerrard and Lampard today, Lin Yi was closer to the goal, which completely made up for the disadvantage of Lampard's lack of a long-range heavy artillery. Don't forget, Chelsea's frontcourt And Anelka, and Drogba, they can make full use of Lin Wing's pass.

In addition to those two cold shots, Lin Yi also seems to be determined to provide enough fire support for Chelsea's offensive line. His short-distance and quick shots have been putting pressure on the opponent's defense.

Among them, in No. 20 minutes, Lin Yi's performance was the most beautiful when facing a double team in the middle. He insisted on squeezing past two people. This is a trick he stole from Iniesta. .

The little man from Barcelona once used this trick when he was playing at Stamford Bridge.

At that time, it was because of his extraordinary moves that both Essien and Gerrard were stunned. Barcelona also seized the opportunity and played a beautiful counterattack. Cech was almost attacked by Messi at the time.

That beautiful dodge and move is still fresh in Lin Yi's memory, and this kid has one of the biggest benefits, that is, he can use it as he learns. From that day on, he has been thinking about this move in the training ground and in the training game.

Once Makelele and Essien's gang were caught by Lin Yi as sparring partners, there would be no end to it.

However, this kind of sparring also has an advantage, that is, Lin Yi can figure out the technique of this move in a relatively short period of time, and he often softens these apparent things into his own technique.

Unfortunately this time, the pair of iron waists of the Villarreal team also tasted what it was like to be played by Lin Yi.

Pulling and tugging on the soles of his feet, he used his flexible steering to pass directly between Senna and Tacchinardi. It is estimated that the two generals on the other side hadn't reacted at that time. When he woke up, Lin Yi had already brought The ball ran wildly, and Arsu came out of the defense, so he could only choose a tactical foul, but he didn't look at who he was facing now. If Lin Yi wanted to get rid of him, he actually had many ways.

However, Lin Yi chose to pass the ball this time, and he poked the ball out suddenly with his toes. The speed of the football flying against the turf was so fast that the opponent's entire defense line hadn't reacted at that time.

Robben got in in time, and he dodged Sorin's chase near the baseline, but he didn't take credit for it, he just kicked back the low ball in the middle, and Drogba hit the ball from the previous point. Shooting, Alvarez grabbed the front point to block. Although he is not as strong as Drogba, his ability to predict is very good.

This time Alvarez's prediction was completely accurate, but Drogba's kick was powerful enough.

Alvarez's blocking failed to completely block the shot, and the bouncing football was kicked again by Anelka in mid-air, but Arzu, who had just thrown out for a tactical foul, returned to the defense.

Barbosa's nerves almost snapped when he blocked the eye-catching twice in a row. With two impacts at such a close range, anyone else's heart would be pounding, not to mention that he is not a top-notch goalkeeper.

However, the first two shots were just an appetizer. Arsu's eye-catching blocking failed to completely resolve the crisis, and then Lin Yi, who followed, grabbed the ball before Tacchinardi shoveled the football, and shot in half-volley.

If it wasn't for the Italian's long legs that affected Lin Yi's accuracy at the last moment, I really don't know if Barbosa's heart would be able to return to its place. He could only hear the sound of the football hitting the crossbar heavily.

Lin Yi, who was knocked down by the opponent and fell on the turf, saw the football miss, and beat the turf hard.

"Damn it, damn it, what an evil shot!" Lin Yi took a deep breath today and was about to wrestle Riquelme's wrists, but for the shot that hit the crossbar, he still didn't like it. It's a bit depressing, the opponent's defense has been ripped apart, and they are only a few centimeters away from scoring.

Not only Lin Yi beat the turf and cursed loudly, but when Mourinho stood on the sidelines and saw this scene, he also muttered something in his mouth. Did Brito know that it was a Portuguese national curse.

Thanks to the fact that when Mourinho scolded, the TV camera didn't cut it in time, otherwise, those journalists with good deeds would definitely go to a lip language expert to decipher what Mourinho scolded at that time.

No way, Mourinho has been too calm recently, and those reporters have long been not used to it.

But just like he cursed, the Love Song Stadium does seem a bit evil sometimes. It can always allow the Villarreal team to turn the corner in a passive situation, just like the shot just now.

The Villarreal team had only one victory in the previous seven games, but in the four games they played at home, apart from successfully winning Inter Milan, the remaining four games ended zero-to-zero.

There are at least three league games where they played against La Liga opponents with all the main players, but at home, no matter how the opponent has the advantage, the final result is nothing.

Lin Yi really doesn't believe in fatalism or the blessings of gods and Buddhas, but the Love Song Stadium is like the patron saint of Villarreal. When everything goes wrong for the team, it will always be a safe haven.

This time was no exception. Under the leadership of Lin Yi, Chelsea had been in a state of complete suppression in the first three and 10 minutes of the attack. Even the on-site commentator was highly nervous, for fear that the opponent would score.

Three and 10 minutes, seven shots, five of which were within the range of the goal frame. This accuracy rate is actually slightly higher than that of Chelsea in the Premier League, and it was just the same for Barcelona in the second half.

But with this ferocious attacking rhythm, except for Lin Yi's supplementary shot hitting the crossbar this time, the opponent was shocked in cold sweat every time, but the result was still fruitless, and the score was not successfully rewritten.

The existence of Lin Yi makes Chelsea's offense like lightning. This is one of the main reasons why many teams are unwilling to meet Chelsea this season. They still relied on their own defense to kill others last season. Now their offense is fully capable of destroying Chelsea. Any team's defense, it's because of this crazy kid in their midfield.

Originally, Chelsea's defense was strong enough, but Lin Yi could urge their offensive line to press the opponent more fiercely. Even Chelsea was able to rely on a strong press to make it difficult for the opponent to cross the half in the Premier League. .

Mourinho asked Lin Yi to stay close to the goal, in order to let the kid save the most threatening passes in front of the opponent's penalty area. He would even take the risk of weakening his own midfield defense, in order to let Lin Yi play in the attack. No effort was spared.

From the game against Barcelona, ​​Mourinho no longer deliberately pursued the so-called balance of offense and defense. There is no absolute balance in this world. Either attack harder or defend more firmly. Relatively speaking, now that there is such a sharper knife as Lin Yi, Mourinho does not need to let the team continue to be conservative.

attack!This is what Mourinho asked everyone to do before the game. Whether it is an avant-garde or a forward, they must form a stable running route around Lin Yi, and then use Lin Yi as the fulcrum of the attack to start a crazy attack.

Mourinho didn't plan to play a solid defense at the Love Song Stadium. Since the opponent can kill Inter Milan's charge here, they will definitely continue to deal with Chelsea in that way. If this is the case, then it is better to spread the firepower. Completely covering Villarreal's defense, although there is not much personnel adjustment, but Mourinho wants to adjust his established tactics. Everyone thinks that Chelsea will be more stable in order to advance, but this guy is against the sky. OK.

Pellegrini has deliberately observed his on-the-spot command, and Chelsea has no secrets at this time, so Mourinho does not need to cover up anything, it is better to fight the opponent openly.

That's why Lin Yi led Chelsea into a crazy attack from the very beginning of the game, in order to smash the opponent's defense with one stick. Although he has not been able to score so far, everyone can see that Villarreal's The pressure on the defensive line was very high. Barbosa, a guy who seldom roared loudly, almost kept roaring in the first three 10 minutes.

"Although Barbosa rejected Chelsea's shots several times in a row, it can be seen that his nerves must be very tense now. This kind of pressure from the opponent's attack has always been on Villarreal's defense. pose a threat."

The Spanish-speaking commentator, while looking nervously at the situation in the arena, carefully analyzed the current situation of the two teams, but it can be seen that, as Spaniards, they care more about this single seedling in La Liga. It's not that they can withstand the devastation of Chelsea. After all, the opponent has killed the Barcelona team in the previous two rounds.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Villarreal is a level behind. Can you fight Chelsea with the confidence of a dark horse? No one has any confidence. No wonder the [-] fans will be so tense.

Now the Villarreal team is suffering from such a squeeze. Although Pellegrini set up two blockade lines for the midfield, it seems that their defense is still being attacked by Chelsea's offensive firepower. It's all in a mess.

But this can’t be blamed on Villarreal’s lack of defense. It’s rare enough for them to keep a clean sheet in the first three 10 minutes. After all, even Barcelona failed to keep Chelsea’s crazy attack The golden body is not broken.

It may be the first time that Pellegrini has intuitively realized how fast Chelsea's sharp knife is. He has always attached great importance to Lin Yi, but compared with his importance, that kid's madness It's really amazing.

"Up to now, more than half of Chelsea's offenses have come from Lin Yi's feet. Even the crosses from the two wings are often interspersed runs planned by him in the middle. He made more than 2 people at the Love Song Stadium witnessed his existence."

Andy Gray, who was in charge of England's broadcast signal, even if Lineker, a loyal fan of Lin Yi, was not around this time, he did not hesitate to praise Lin Yi with his words. There is no way, that kid has completely conquered Andy. gray.

Not only was he, England's commentator, overwhelmed by Lin Yi's performance, even the Spanish commentator admitted helplessly that Lin Yi was the engine of Chelsea, and his performance really put the Villarreal team in a passive position. .

But Pellegrini's team is not useless. In such a crazy attack from Chelsea, Riquelme still maintains his usual rhythm, consistently controlling the team's offensive power, and his performance is also very good. eye-catching.

Lin Yi drives Chelsea's offense very fiercely, but Villarreal is just like Chelsea last season. They will not shoot more than a dozen times in every game, but once in a while, it is possible to break through. The opponent's goal.

The biggest help Riquelme brought to Villarreal's offense is to make their offense more precise.

Villarreal may have the highest offensive efficiency among the La Liga teams this season. Even Barcelona is a little bit worse than them. They can rank third in La Liga because of this super power. High level of accuracy.

Lin Yi's breakthrough brought Chelsea an offensive opportunity. Similarly, in the contest with Makelele, Riquelme also used his rich experience in the game, as well as his dribbling movements that caused headaches with rhythm changes. To tear apart Chelsea's defense, Chelsea did not set up a double midfielder to strangle Riquelme in this game, it was a very risky gamble.

Mourinho doesn't know whether Makelele can contain opponents, but he believes that Chelsea's offense can score first, so although Villarreal's offensive players are not many, they can always be played by Riquelme. In the first three 10 minutes, apart from his own long-range shot, Riquelme also passed the ball to Forlan and Jose Mari four times to create a suitable shooting space, but Petr Cech His performance was perfect, saving all his shots.

But Riquelme's performance made Mourinho hesitate on the sidelines. Chelsea's mad attack failed, but the opponent's attack always threatened Chelsea's goal. Big loss.

But just when Mourinho was still thinking about whether to limit Riquelme, the slow-moving Argentine received a pass from Tacchinardi again. Makelele posted it very hard this time, Riquel Mei didn't have a chance to turn around smoothly.

But soon the Argentine was cheered by the Villarreal fans at the El Estadio as the guy slammed his heel through between the opponent's legs with his back to Makelele , turning around like a ghost.

"Perfect pass! Riquelme tricked Makelele with his superb technique. He blocked the opponent's position with his body and passed the ball! Beautiful! Fran made a ladder wall with Riquelme in a heartbeat Riquelme got rid of Carvalho's tackle again, and he has broken into the penalty area! Ready to shoot!", the commentator on the scene finally caught a chance to show his volume this time, but His roar was not over yet, but the attack was over. At the moment when Riquelme was about to take a shot, a kick from the side and rear shoveled the football first.

When the Argentine stabilized his body and raised his head, what he saw was a black-haired boy wearing Chelsea's No. 22 uniform, who was panting heavily with his head down, appearing in front of him.

The core of the two teams met head-on for the first time. . .

(The most comical game yesterday was probably the one in Qatar. It’s really weird. There were only 5 people who could play, and four of them were sent off in the end. Okay, you guys are so strong!)
