Chapter 226 Three Cores (Small Explosion Part 4)
Duan Wenxuan is still the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel.After watching the game for 10 minutes, he commented: "... the game was fast-paced from the beginning, and the home team had the advantage, but the visiting team was also quite threatening in the counterattack. There were two threatening balls sent by Maxwell. Terry and Cech worked together to resolve it."

Wang Tao nodded in agreement with Duan Wenxuan's opinion, and further analyzed: "When Paris did not have the ball, almost the whole team retreated to defend. After regaining the ball, they played to both sides, relying on the speed and breakthrough of Lavezzi and Shi Hao. The ability to deliver ammunition for Cavani. This style of play is quite simple and practical."

Duan Wenxuan frowned and said: "However, the lack of Ibrahimovic has a great impact on Paris Saint-Germain. His deterrence and creativity when he is on the court are not comparable to Cavani. In other words, Cavani and Lavezzi It doesn't add up to the pressure that one Ibrahimovic puts on the Chelsea defence."

"That's right," Wang Tao said, "with Ibrahimovic on the field, he can even fight against Chelsea's entire midfield alone. This statement is not an exaggeration. Shi Hao is really good enough? The current top scorer in Ligue [-]. Cavani , Enough? The top scorer in Serie A. But their tactical value is really not as great as Ibrahimovic."

Shi Hao on the field also deeply realized this point.In terms of speed, he must be faster than Ibrahimovic; in terms of technology, imagination, and shooting skills, he believes that he is not inferior to Ibrahimovic.

But Ibrahimovic is really too strong, which allows Ibrahimovic to always put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defender, and he can even carry the opponent's defender forward when necessary.

But Shi Hao couldn't do this.

But I also have my advantages, Shi Hao thought to himself.But today Chelsea's defensive position is tighter than the previous game, making it difficult for his breakthrough to be effective.How can we give full play to our own advantages and penetrate Chelsea's defense?Shi Hao thought about it.

In fact, he prefers to play left winger, so that he is more threatening when cutting inside, and if the opponent fouls, the free kick caused by the position is also better.But Lavitch is not good at hitting the right side, so Shi Hao can only make a little sacrifice.

In the 18th minute of the game, Hazard went to the sidelines and took the initiative to apply for exit.When he was tripped by Maquinhos before, it seemed that he was seriously injured and could not persist in the game.

Moutinho reluctantly replaced Hazard with Schurrle, which disrupted his entire plan.

Duan Wenxuan is more or less biased towards Shi Hao's team, and it is impossible to remain neutral. When he saw this substitution, he couldn't help laughing: "Chelsea was forced to make a substitution in the 18th minute of the game. Ah! Today's game was difficult for Chelsea, and now it is even more difficult."

Seizing the opportunity when Xu Erle hadn't warmed up after playing, Shi Hao launched several waves of attacks in succession.In the 23rd minute, Shi Hao suddenly cut inside, and Xu Erle chased after him relentlessly. He couldn't catch up with Shi Hao until he was not far from the penalty area, and was finally forced to shovel.

The referee awarded Paris Saint-Germain a free kick and showed Schurrle the yellow card.

"Be careful," Lampard walked over and complained to Schurrle, "It's not that you don't know how powerful his free kick is, and you dare to give him a free kick in this position?"

Xuerle looked very frustrated: "I was impulsive just now."

Lampard patted Schurrle on the head: "Hurry up and get into shape! We must hurry up and score a goal!" After speaking, he went to line up the wall.

However, the position of the ball was still a bit off, which was not the angle that Shi Hao was good at. In the end, his free kick hit the wall.

Xu Erle also breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately no major mistakes were made.

When Schurrle gradually entered the state, Paris Saint-Germain began to panic in front of the goal.In terms of personal skills, Schurrle is naturally much rougher than Hazard, but his shooting skills are more exquisite, his position is more forward than Hazard, closer to the middle, and he poses a greater threat to Paris Saint-Germain's goal.

Duan Wenxuan also noticed this: "Blanco's lineup in this game seems to be a bit problematic. Both Verratti and Matuidi are very aggressive up and grabbing, and there are many supports on the wing, but the protection of the center seems to be a bit of a problem. Not enough, it all depends on Motta being nailed in the middle. But now that Schurrle is on the field, the player's running position is very erratic, which poses a great threat to Motta. It would have been better for Blanco to let Matuidi and Verratti recover in the middle."

But Blanco sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without making any adjustments.

In the 27th minute, after Schurrle broke into the middle, he suddenly handed the ball to Oscar.Seeing that Oscar was about to break into the penalty area, Verratti, who was supplementing the defense, had to resort to foul tactics, received a yellow card, and gave Chelsea a free kick in an excellent position.

Lampard's free kick hit the wall and was refracted towards the near corner of the goal.At this time, Sirigu made a contribution. When everyone thought the ball would go in, he made the correct judgment, moved ahead of time, and then struggled to hit the ball out of the baseline.

In the 32nd minute, Ivanovic threw a free kick. David Luiz overpowered Matuidi and grabbed the header. He ferried the ball to the center.

Xu Erle did not know when he ran to the point where the ball fell, and he was in an unmarked state!The defensive players of the Paris Saint-Germain team were shocked and hurried back to chase, but Schurrle did not delay, and kicked a cold arrow from outside the penalty area.The ball was fast and angled, and flew into the far corner of the goal against the turf. Sirigu was helpless!
1:0, Chelsea took the lead at home!

"Let Xu Erle score the goal just after I finished talking," Duan Wenxuan sighed, "Branko has to make adjustments immediately. Now we are looking for Xu Erle in the middle, and no one is marking him. Such a mistake It’s really not something a team of Paris Saint-Germain’s level should be guilty of.”

Wang Tao went on to say: "In fact, Ibrahimovic's absence not only has an impact on Paris Saint-Germain's offense, but also has a huge impact on their defense. An Ibrahimovic with incredible offensive ability and unexpected technical moves can make Chelsea's in the middle. The two holding midfielders and the two central defenders suffered a lot, which in turn strengthened Paris' midfield defense. Who is in front of the Chelsea defender now? No one, Cavani can't get the ball in the middle, and has to often set Go out wide so that Chelsea can build up from the center and Paris Saint-Germain's defense in the center is too thin."

Duan Wenxuan nodded: "Yes, Lavitch is too independent to play football. Don't think about it when the ball reaches his side. And this time Shi Hao also played relatively independent, probably because Ibrahimovic is not present. Everyone knows , Ibrahimovic is the 'ball bully' in the locker room. With him on the court, he is the undisputed core. Everyone has to give him the ball first. But now that he is not on the court, Ravitch also wants to be the core. Hao also wants to be the core, and Verratti behind him also wants to be the core, one team has three cores, how can this work? England's 'double virtue' tactics couldn't work."

"Although Paris Saint-Germain still has a two-goal advantage, judging from the current situation, it may not be able to hold on. Blanco has to make adjustments immediately."
