Born to be a coach [soccer]

Sunderland's goal came from a beautiful defensive counterattack, even from Lampard's long-range shot towards Sunderland's goal in the 39th minute.

Since the beginning of the game, Sunderland's goalkeeper Halldosson has made great achievements. From the beginning of the game, he has maintained a high degree of concentration.Lampard made a sudden cold shot, which was also judged by Halldosson to be in the right direction, holding the ball firmly in his arms.

The Icelander didn't delay, ran two steps forward, quickly threw a hand throw ball, and the ball immediately fell to Henderson's feet. Without hesitation, Henderson weighed his feet, and the ball had already crossed the middle circle quickly and came to Eriksson's feet.

Eriksson made a quick trip, followed by an emergency stop, and immediately swayed past Chelsea's defenders.

Facing Sunderland's counterattack, Chelsea's captain Terry and another defender, Ivan, stepped forward to intercept at the same time.Eriksson was faster than them, and the ball under his feet had already been passed—unfortunately, the pass was a high ball, and the little Shaqiri was next to him.

Shaqiri: Who says a small man can't head the ball?

Shaqiri headed the ball, and the ball seemed to go over the head, but it flew to the other side of Chelsea's goal.There, Vardy, who had already reached his position at some point, was waiting, the ball kept coming, and he shot a volley directly at the ball——

The ball crashed into the net, and Cech, the goalkeeper, could only watch the ball go into the net and do nothing.

However, there was no immediate cheer from Wembley Stadium.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, from the backcourt to the goal, but with just a few kicks, it was too fast for people to react.

Finally, Wembley Stadium erupted into cheers, and it was the Sunderland fans who had saved themselves and shouted while watching the playback on the big screen.

- Great, we are so lucky!

The big screen at Wembley clearly showed that when Vardy took a shot, Cech had already reacted and rushed towards the ball.It's a pity that Chelsea defender Ivan was eager to make a clearance and rushed to block the hole. His body touched the ball, so the trajectory of the football changed.Even if Cech is a god, he can no longer save the zigzag ball, and can only watch the ball roll into his goal.

At this moment, all the fans are waiting for the referee to judge whether the ball is Vardy's goal or Ivan's own goal.In the end, the big screen showed the ownership of the scoring player: Vardy, and this goal was counted under Vardy's name.

At Wembley, Vardy’s name resounded once again. Sunderland fans compiled his name into the lyrics, and tens of thousands of people sang it loudly together—the abandoned disciple of Sheffield Wednesday in the past, and today he shines again , Vardy once again made contributions in the competition.

The players on Chelsea's side are quickly adjusting their emotions.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, shouting loudly to the players on the field, and gestured to the players to calm down and continue the game according to the tactics arranged before the game: Obviously, Sunderland implemented it well The tactics arranged by the head coach before the game led to the current lead.And they are Chelsea, the new Premier League champions, and their opponents are from the British Championship, so why panic?

Chelsea's players quickly stabilized their position under the comfort of captain Terry. In the last 5 minutes of the first half, they didn't give Sunderland any chances, and Drogba almost scored a goal— - if he is not in an offside position.

The whistle blew at halftime, and the players from both sides walked to the locker room together, preparing to take a break and welcome the second half of the game.

Anton stood on the sidelines, watching their players coming towards him, and at the same time keeping an eye on Chelsea's players.

The opponent was obviously a little frustrated: after all, Chelsea had the upper hand in the first half, but was succeeded by a sneak attack by Sunderland, and instead was "taken" ahead, which is not happy for anyone.

But the Frenchman Anelka was clearly suppressing his anger.When he passed by Anton, Anton seemed to hear him hum softly.

——I probably feel that some of today's teammates have a little "pig" attribute.

When Anelka walked to the sidelines, he made another small move, which also fell into Anton's eyes.I don’t know if the French striker didn’t see the plastic water bottles scattered on the ground. When he walked over, he raised his foot and kicked one of the plastic water bottles. He kicked a plastic water bottle into the air. The water splashed for a while, and the water bottle with half a bottle of water was smashed. On the lap of a Chelsea player ahead.

The person in front happened to be the defender Ivan who unintentionally "facilitated" Sunderland's goal. At this moment, he was very annoyed when he was suddenly smashed. Looking back, he found that it was Anelka with a gloomy face.

Seeing Anelka's expression, Ivan felt suffocated and didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and went straight into the locker room.

Malouda, who is also a member of the French national team, saw it and said something to Anelka in French.Only then did Anelka calm down a little, and looked towards Ancelotti, then lowered his head and walked into the player tunnel.

Anton was on the sidelines, watching the scene from beginning to end.Such stern and rebellious players are not absent in the world, but there are definitely not many.He can't deny Anelka's ability and talent, but such a personality, such an emotion...will it affect the player's performance on the field?

Anton suddenly remembered the title of the document Bernard gave him: character determines destiny...

... Bernard's mysterious mission!

How does it feel that his dear brother wants to verify something through what he has seen and heard in football?

For the audience, the 15 minutes between the first half and the second half is a relaxing time, where you can buy a glass of low-alcohol beer and run to the bathroom.But in Sunderland's locker room, the coaching staff and team doctors were too busy to even take a sip of water.

Assistant coach Russell is busy giving them feedback on the performance of each player in the first half, including what obvious mistakes the players made, where the movement was not accurate enough, whether there are other ways to deal with certain balls... all For details, give feedback as soon as possible and improve as soon as possible.

The team doctor and fitness coach checked the physical condition of the players in turn to ensure that any physical problems were detected as soon as possible: after all, this game is the FA Cup final, and the draw between the two teams will lead to extra time.Physical fitness will be an important factor in winning or losing.

And Anton quickly discussed the tactical adjustments for the second half with other members of the coaching staff.

"Boys, your performance in the first half was very good, but don't take it lightly. You have already seen the opponent's strength." Anton cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone, "What you have to do in the second half is to continue Execute the tactics that have been arranged in advance and carry it out to the end. Even if the opponent equalizes the score, don't think about anything else. Just stick to our own style of play."

When the coaching staff formulated the tactics earlier, they gave four words: "defensive counterattack".

The opponent is indeed very strong, but Sunderland has insisted on themselves in the first half, and they should persist in the second half.

"Don't think about the score, just think about how you should play this game..." Anton taught these young players persuasively.

The coaching staff has been instilling in the players before: Even if the opponent is ahead, don't panic, try to play according to your own rhythm.It's just that the coaching staff didn't expect that once Vardy made great achievements, he taught the black cat to take the lead and take the lead.

"Yes, boss. We understand!" Captain Garner had a firm expression and complied with Anton's request.Now these players almost worship Anton like a god, and the coach is right. No matter what happens, just do what Anton says.

"Go!" Anton saw that the time for the intermission had run out, and he called the players to get up, and returned to the court with them.

At this time, Ancelotti also led the Chelsea players out of the player tunnel. Two Italians, no, an Italian and a half-Italian, looked at each other and said hello.Anton could see that Ancelotti was not in a very good mood, but it was obvious that he had finished appeasing the players under his command. Terry led his teammates full of energy and trot all the way back to the court.

The Frenchman Anelka, with his head down, was at the end of the line.Ivan passed him nervously and ran back to the field.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea obviously stepped up their offensive.

Relying on his strong body, running at high speed, and without any fancy dribbling, Drogba tried time and time again to tear through Sunderland's defense and create danger for Sunderland's goal.On the left and right sides, the two Frenchmen Anelka and Malouda frequently interspersed and were dangerous.Coupled with Lampard's cold shot from time to time, Sunderland's goal was in danger for a while.

In this way, Sunderland struggled for about 10 minutes, and finally Shaqiri and Vardy completed two successful counterattacks, almost knocking on the door guarded by Petr Cech again. Press hard again.

In the 67th minute of the game, with a corner kick, "Warcraft" Drogba finally broke the deadlock in the second half and scored with a header to equalize the score for Chelsea.Although his ball was suspected of colliding with the goalkeeper, the referee on duty did not say anything—the goal was valid.

The two sides returned to the same starting line again.

Anton folded his arms and watched the situation on the field-he was not worried about Sunderland.Because the captain Garner has helped the goalkeeper Halldosson up, patted the shoulder to reassure the goalkeeper, and told him not to be affected by his emotions, and to return his attention to the game as soon as possible. The whole team needs his outstanding performance.

At the same time, Drogba ran to celebrate in front of the Chelsea fans area, and other players followed suit.Only Anelka, head down, away from his teammates, was walking slowly back to the center circle.

In the corner kick just now, Anelka and his teammates also competed for the top in front of the goal.It's just that he was fighting for the front point, and Lampard's corner kick went directly to the back point.Anelka naturally couldn't stand it.

In Anton's view, the French star's performance does not seem to be jealous of his teammates' performance, but a bit lonely, lonely and withdrawn, and seems to be always a little distance from his teammates who are enthusiastically celebrating a goal.

What a sensitive and unsociable player!

But if it is said that character determines destiny, where can the trajectory of such a player who has already achieved fame go?

After Drogba equalized, Sunderland's performance was as steady as ever, and the players neither looked upset nor flustered.That's how they started the game, and whether they lead or get equalized, Sunderland have always played like this.

On the contrary, Chelsea slowly showed a little anxiety: They are the freshly-baked Premier League champions, and within 90 minutes, they couldn't solve a British champion opponent?

In the 93rd minute, the referee blew his whistle, and the two sides ended the game in regular time with a score of 1:1.Although Sunderland is a Championship team, it also dragged the new Premier League champion Chelsea into overtime.

The author has something to say: When I was coding, I suddenly remembered that Drogba had a nickname called "African Andy Lau", and then I couldn't control it and remembered several similar nicknames.Do you see any stars below that you recognize?Or if you know something similar, please let me know in the comments.
