The strongest winger

Chapter 460

After the start of the second half, the Valencia players quickly discovered that the mental state of the Chelsea players at home was significantly different from that before the end of the first half, as if... more aggressive, or full of fighting spirit!

Shevchenko also had a little joint responsibility for conceding the ball in the first half, so he became more active after the start of the second half. Instead of waiting in his own area to wait for the pass from his companions like in the first half, he actively retreated to meet his teammates and create opportunities for other teammates.

In the beginning period, Chelsea's attack was very good. Valencia's three midfielders were tired of defending. Even David Silva and David Villa were forced to join the defense.

Due to Aiello’s nuclear deterrence, when the team is defending frontally, he is strictly required to be at the front of the team’s half. Because his personal combat ability is too strong, it is the most sensible choice to keep him near the midfield. This will make Chelsea’s players very uncomfortable, making them always worry about the possibility of the football being stolen, and then enter a defensive state.

So although their offensive kicks are flourishing, they do not actually threaten Valencia's defense, because they must ensure that their passes will not make mistakes.

And when they are sure that the football will not make mistakes, they also lose the best opportunity to pass the ball.

Time passed quickly, and 10 minutes passed in the second half.

※※※

Football matches do require the head coaches of both sides to make strict arrangements for the game before the game, but if this is the case, the football game will lose its aura, so the arrangement of the head coach is only basic, and the self-expression of the players on the field is the most important existence.

As a result, Mourinho quickly realized that there was a problem with the team's offense, so he immediately asked his assistant Boas to let Joe Cole and Wright Phillips go to the warm-up area to warm up.

And this scene happened to be captured by the camera. When the ball was dead, the director of the Stamford Bridge Stadium switched the scene.

Immediately, it aroused various speculations from the narrators in the live studio.

"Chelsea played at home. The game lasted nearly 60 minutes. The score on the field was still 1:1. Joe Cole and Wright Phillips on the sidelines began to warm up. Perhaps Mourinho was not satisfied with the team's performance during the second half. Losing the ball at home made them very passive. Therefore, it is understandable why Mourinho wanted to make personnel adjustments in about 10 minutes of the second half. If he wanted to surpass the score again, it would not hurt to make adjustments as soon as possible..."

The BBC's narrator immediately went on and on.

"That's right. Although it seems that Chelsea has indeed taken the initiative on the field, who knows that Ai will not seize an opportunity to fight back? You must know that Chelsea's defensive players are not good at speed. It is also an urgent matter to suppress Valencia's left side as soon as possible..."

His guest picked up the conversation.

Seeing this scene, Huang Jianxiang had his own opinion, "I believe that in a few minutes, Chelsea will take the initiative to make substitutions and adjustments, because their offense needs to be changed. Simply relying on the bottom pass from the left can no longer pose a threat to Valencia's goal. Now Ballack and Albiol can control the first point very well. Let Joe Cole or Wright Phillips, who are good at breaking through the wing, also open the right channel.

Five minutes later, Chelsea took the lead in making personnel adjustments on the field, replacing Shevchenko, the goal hero of the game, and replacing the extremely fast Wright Phillips.

Mourinho's tactical intention is very obvious, that is to use the speed of the two sides to break through Valencia's two-wing defense, and once the pressure on the sides is too high, there will inevitably be a defensive midfielder to go to the side to help defend.

※※※

However, Mourinho's tactical intentions are good, but it has not been calculated that Wright Phillips' state in this game is not at the best moment, and he failed to make two consecutive wing breakthroughs.

With Wright Phillips losing the threat on the right, Valencia's defense became easier again, just pay a little attention to the breakthrough and cross of Kalu, who is in excellent condition on the left.

But the pressure on Albiol and Ballack Moda, who are in charge of fighting for the top in the penalty area, is increasing, because Drogba's physical fitness is too abnormal, like a humanoid bulldozer, and he can't push it away. What's more terrible is that his feet are also very flexible, and his running is very erratic.

Seeing this, Mourinho is even more convinced that Shevchenko's arrival not only failed to make the team stronger, but a bit of a drag on the team.

He turned his head to look at Ai Luo, who was also active on the field, and couldn't help but sigh, if only he could have such an excellent winger, why should he worry about scoring goals?
So it also makes him look forward to the summer transfer window more and more.

But he learned from the damn CEO that the boss Abramovich has the idea of ​​acquiring Aiello. If it really succeeds, the team will definitely be able to win the UEFA Champions League next season!
At this moment, Lampard took a corner kick from the right. Ballack overwhelmed Terry and pushed the football forward amidst the exclamation from Stamford Bridge. David Silva, who was defending the opponent's long-range shot at the right end of the penalty area, raised his left foot to drive the ball forward, but he was too hasty.

No one thought that David Silva, who swung his left leg, didn't fully hit the football, so there were accidents.

However, the football happened to be rolling in the direction of David Villa. In order to ensure that the football was under his control, David Villa had to run back, otherwise Diarra, who was in the middle of the field, would grab the ball in front of him and intercept the ball for a second attack.

"Mikel, someone who is optimistic about you!!"

Captain Terry, who was running back, exclaimed violently.

my people?
Mickel reacted immediately, Ai Luo!
Oops! !
Ai Luo took advantage of the negligence of Chelsea players in the transition from offense to defense, and suddenly accelerated in the penalty area.

※※※

David Villa went back to take the ball, but Diarra behind him kept pushing, trying to kill Valencia's counterattack in the cradle, because he saw the most threatening figure in the Valencia team running forward, that is, running towards the direction of Chelsea's goal.

While running forward, Ai Luo had an eye contact with David Villa. After nearly two years of partnering, he could guess the other party's intentions with just one look.

David Villa struggled to maintain his balance, and did not fall to the ground because of Diarra's pushing and pushing behind him, because it was meaningless, and he just got a free kick in the backcourt in vain.

When he was half a meter away from the football, David Villa kicked the toe of his right foot towards the turf. Using Diarra's pushing force, he sent himself out, twisted his waist [-] degrees in mid-air, bent his body and used the arch of his left foot to send the ball to his obliquely right rear. After the pass, he also lost his center of gravity and fell on the turf.

Diarra braked quickly, trying to turn his body to chase Ai Luo who was forward with the ball, but the field became very slippery due to the continuous rainy weather, so when he turned around forcibly, the sole of his left foot drew a long mark on the turf. As a result, his upper body turned over, while his lower body was dragged behind.

The result was that the center of gravity was unstable and slipped on the turf.

Ai Luo can't control that much, the outer instep of his left foot directly forwards the football passed by David Villa desperately.

But this was just a fake move by Ai Luo. When he was keenly aware that Makelele took a step to the right, he kicked the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot.
From the corner of his eyes, Makelele didn't see Ai Luo waving the ball to the right, but he realized that Ai Luo just made a fake move. With years of experience, he knew that if Ai Luo slid the ball smoothly for the second time, the 34-year-old this year would definitely not be Ai Luo's opponent.

Ai Luo didn't expect Makelele to be so determined, and... so accurate in his prediction.

At this moment, Makelele's game experience is fully reflected at this moment.

Aiello can either fall forward or kick the ball back, but if you choose the latter, then Chelsea's defensive forces will quickly return to their positions. No matter which one you choose, it will be a contribution to Chelsea.

In the blink of an eye, Ai Luo chose the latter. He stretched his right foot and long leg forward, and at the same time pulled the ball back to avoid Makelele's interception, but the opportunity was delayed.

Just when Makelele thought his 'trick' was going to succeed, Ai Luo made an adjustment on the spot, swung his right foot again to face the football that was pulled back, and kicked the ball with the outside of his foot towards the middle and lower part.

Pass the ball outside the instep!
Then he jumped over the fallen Makelele and accelerated forward frantically.

Chelsea's defensive focus therefore shifted to Valencia's attacking right, their defensive left.

Because of Ai Luo's dribbling just now, Valencia's offensive right was very empty, so David Silva, who was inserted at high speed, could directly pass the right pass forward and move forward quickly.

Therefore, Chelsea's defensive center of gravity has moved from the right side to the left side.

Ashley Cole is the fastest runner in Chelsea's defense. Naturally, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of chasing David Silva back, but the latter's dribbling speed is not slow, and he quickly brought the ball 30 meters from the bottom line.

Just when Ashley Cole was about to catch up with David Silva, the running David Silva suddenly swung his left foot, and also kicked the middle and lower part of the football with the outer instep.

The football flew to the left again, and turned a large roundabout arc.

There's... Aiello, plug in at high speed!
David Silva's 20-meter diagonal long pass was very accurate. Ai Luo comfortably moved the ball forward and entered the penalty area.
