[football] walk side by side

The thought of hesitation was only for a moment, and Cyril put it behind him.As a player, he rarely objected to the decision of the head coach, especially when the head coach was still Mourinho. Therefore, although Cyril felt that this approach was unreliable, he was honest Executed Mourinho's instructions.

It's just that, in order to prevent Chelsea's offense from always being interrupted by himself, Cyril chose to play the ball faster and reduce the time to get the ball.

"Both sides have done very well in defense. Since the beginning of this season, Chelsea has been one of the strongest defensive teams in the Premier League, and Manchester United's targeted defense has also played a vital role. Under their active steals, It is also difficult for Chelsea to find better opportunities, and Cyril Slade is a bit lost... In the previous Premier League, Cyril Slade did not get a chance, and for the first time, his opponent It's Manchester United."

"Reminiscent of the perfect performance of Porto with Slade in the face of Manchester United, Mourinho chose to let him, hoping that he can continue the performance of the last time against Manchester United. Unfortunately, Mourinho is probably going to be disappointed... Under Manchester United's intensive defense, Slade will be intercepted if he stops the ball for a little longer. Unfortunately, Chelsea currently lacks players who can cut through Manchester United's defense like a sharp knife..."

Since this is the Stamford Bridge Stadium, when the commentator mentioned Cyril, he did not criticize him like other football commentators. He simply clicked, but his regret was beyond words.

I don't know if it's a pity that Chelsea didn't take the lead quickly, or it's a pity that Cyril didn't become Chelsea's sharp knife.

While the commentator was explaining the situation in front of him, Cyril suddenly left the midfield position and jumped into the wing.

When Lampard saw Cyril jumping so far ahead, he reflexively thought that his teammates were going to do something. He turned around to avoid Scholes' press, and sent the ball to Cyril's with a short pass. underfoot.

Unexpectedly, Cyril had no intention of catching the ball at all-the ball from Lampard only stayed under his feet for less than a second, and Cyril used the inner instep to knock the football to the middle with his heel directly. Then he continued to run forward without looking back.

In order to prevent his teammates from getting the wrong idea, Cyril even waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to pass the ball to him.

Gary Neville didn't take Cyril's action to heart at first. After all, who knows whether Cyril really doesn't want the ball, or is he pretending to do this action to confuse them?They didn't relax their vigilance against Cyril because he didn't get the ball. They had already tried the lesson of Porto, and they didn't want to try it again at Stamford Bridge.

Under such circumstances, Cyril smoothly penetrated into the vicinity of Manchester United's penalty area.

Until this time, Gary Neville did not relax his vigilance against Cyril.While paying attention to the situation on the field, he is ready to assist his teammates in defense at any time, and at the same time he is not too far away from Cyril. Once a Chelsea player chooses to pass the ball to Cyril, he can quickly come over to press.

At the same time, Drogba, who was dribbling the ball near Manchester United's midfield, was also faintly caught in the encirclement of Roy Keane and Scholes. He made a bottom pass and passed the ball to Cyril.

Although Drogba didn't think that Cyril could find any opportunities under such circumstances, he still had to give it a try, what if he got hit?Thinking this way, Drogba ran back, so that Manchester United suddenly made a quick counterattack, and he could help defend.

However, Drogba didn't run very far when he heard the referee's whistle.

He turned his head, only to realize that Cyril had fallen to the ground at some point. When he looked over, the young man just stood up and patted his shorts lightly.Then, Drogba looked past Cyril and Gary Neville and landed on the ball, which by this time had crossed the goal line.Looking at Gary Neville's wry smile again, it is obvious that this is a corner kick.

The penalty rules for corner kicks are: the ball crosses the goal line, but no points are scored, and the last player to touch the ball is a defensive player, then the referee will award a corner kick to the offensive team.

In other words, Chelsea can only get a corner kick if Gary Neville takes the initiative to kick the ball over the goal line.

And in the offense and defense at that moment, Cyril also showed absolute tenacity, as if he really planned to try to shoot toughly. At the same time, Gary Neville's position defending him was more dangerous. A slightly bigger move might be a penalty kick or a free kick. After several struggles, he simply took the initiative to kick the ball out of the goal line.

When Cyril was at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation between the two at the moment, causing his body to lose balance and fell on the grass, he just reacted - in terms of physical fitness and the distance between the two at the time, Cyril At that time, even if he wanted to force a shot, it was difficult. This was deliberately cheating him into a corner kick!

Helpless and helpless, he hurriedly shouted loudly, signaling the Manchester United players to defend according to his arrangement.

Just in such a short while, Chelsea players also ran to Manchester United's goal in twos and threes, ready to take a corner kick.

They discussed it and finally decided that Cyril would take the corner kick.Because Drogba Lampard and others want to find a chance to shoot in front of the goal...

"Game No. 401min, Chelsea got a corner kick and it was Cyril Slade who kicked it off... He kicked it off! The ball flew in front of the goal and now there is chaos in front of the goal! Didier Drogba fights for the top No, no, no, Keane is faster than him, he headed the ball first! Scholes kicked the ball first and sent the ball back to the midfield!"

The offensive and defensive transitions on the court are often just a moment.

At the same moment when they realized that the corner kick was hopeless, the Chelsea players ran back. Fortunately, Terry, Carvalho and Ferreira still obeyed Mourinho's request and did not run when the corner kick was taken. Going to the goal to join in the fun, so Manchester United's quick counterattack failed in the end. Under Chelsea's intensive defense, Ruud van Nistelrooy tried a long-range shot sloppily, and Petr Cech embraced him without any suspense.

This should have been a failed attack, but at this moment, Cyril seemed to have a vague understanding of Mourinho's intentions.

Indeed, his team is no longer Porto.

In various senses, Chelsea is a better team than Porto. Porto's defense is also very strong, but unlike Chelsea, Cyril feels no worries. Even if he is frozen, he does not have to think about it. Find ways to get rid of each other's entanglement, thinking about how to use your creativity and imagination to solve problems.

A football game is played by eleven players against eleven players. With the development of modern football, there are almost no players who can change the whole game by themselves. When Cyril is thinking about relying on his own talent to solve the problem , this problem is destined to be difficult to solve.

A normal, healthy team should be able to achieve more blooms, but if one or two people are frozen, it will be difficult.

Just like the decision Mourinho made in the end: there is no need for any talented player to save the game with a flash of inspiration, but simply put on an offensive midfielder, and use the simplest and most understandable way to fight for this game. The victory of the game.

It doesn't seem to make much sense, but for Chelsea, it is enough.

Because Chelsea is no worse than Manchester United.

They are not Porto, so they don't have to face every giant with a weak attitude, but should realize psychologically that Chelsea is also a strong team, so there is no need to look up at Manchester United.

They need three points in this game, and they need to realize that Chelsea is very strong, and they only need to play normally to beat a giant like Manchester United, so as to directly build up their confidence psychologically.

And the latter is more important than the simple victory of this game.

The failure to score a corner kick did not have any negative impact on Chelsea, and their counterattack was still fast and fierce.Even as the game progresses, it becomes faster and faster.

Chelsea currently has no players who can tear apart Manchester United's defense, and it is unscientific to expect Manchester United players to make mistakes on their own, so they can only speed up the pace and drag Manchester United into Chelsea's rhythm-changing rhythms can make Manchester United's defense happen to a certain degree of randomness Changes, and only changes, will there be a fleeting loophole.

And what Cyril has to do is to catch that flashing loophole.

Game No. 705 minutes, Rooney was cut off the ball in Chelsea's backcourt.Terry, who forced Rooney to lose the ball, quickly passed the ball to Cyril, who responded not far away. At this time, in Chelsea's half, there were no Manchester United defenders obstructing Cyril's pass. Therefore, Cyril was completely fine. Take your time to stop the ball and make the best choice.

He only glanced at the ball, and the ball was kicked out at the same time. Rooney, who was planning to try to counter-attack, suddenly made a pounce. Cyril didn't even look at his pass. It was just a short pass in a small range. , it is impossible to fall to the feet of people other than Lampard.The moment his feet were empty, he started to run forward.

At this moment, Manchester United's defensive players are probably thinking about the same as Crisiano at the beginning: Why are you again!

Not knowing that he was rejected again, Cyril directly inserted into the penalty area, and at this time, Lampard, who was dribbling the ball, made a cross pass without warning, and the ball crossed half the width of the pitch and fell to Joe Cole on the wing. feet.

Joe Cole originally played as an offensive midfielder when he played, but as Chelsea strengthened their offense and Joe Cole himself had a certain degree of selectivity in running positions, he followed Mourinho's instructions , Cut into the wing in a timely manner and played the role of a winger.And when Lampard passed the football, Joe Cole was only 30 meters away from the Manchester United goal.

At the same time, Roy Keane has already strode up from behind him, and Gary Neville and Ferdinand are also watching in front of him, waiting for Joe Cole to step into their area and press his feet.

Not far from Joe Cole, Drogba was more than a dozen meters away, and Edur Gudjohnsen was a few meters away, but both of them were located close to the Manchester United defender. It may be a bit dangerous to catch the ball at this time.

Then at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Cyril, who was also around ten meters away, raised his hand and made a gesture of asking for the ball.

In this game, because Manchester United has been focusing on it, after Cyril took the ball, he conceded a lot of the ball. At this time, Cyril's position is actually the same as that of Didier Drogba and Edur Gudjohnsen. There is not much difference between the two, do you want to pass it on to him?

Joe Cole hesitated, but chose to trust his teammates.

He didn't stop the ball, but suddenly drew the ball out while running!

"Joe Cole passes the ball! Who is he going to pass it to? Drogba? Gudjohnsen? Or Cyril? In fact, these three people are not in a good position. The space they can use is too small. Tackled or offside by United's full-back partner... Let's see Joe Cole's options, oh! He passes the ball to Cyril Slade! It's really..."

The original words of the commentator wanted to say "this is really surprising", after all, Cyril and Joe Cole are still competing for places.However, he also quickly discovered that his language was inappropriate, and hurriedly shut his mouth. If he really said this, Stamford Bridge would be like a library, and angry fans would give him some color.

Cyril's receiving the ball was within the expectations of the Manchester United players. They already knew that this guy was not good enough, especially when the game was over, he tended to be more restless.Gary Neville and Ferdinand looked at each other, one of them stayed where they were, and the other took the initiative to meet Cyril, but they didn't get too close, but stayed in a place where he made any reaction distance.

But Cyril's reaction was faster than him!

Whether it's Gary Neville or Ferdinand, Cyril doesn't really want to face any of these two people for a close-up breakthrough. Increase the distance and accelerate in a disguised form over a long distance to directly avoid the possibility of a frontal collision.

Cyril doesn't know which of the two will choose to come forward, but he knows that there must be one of them who chooses to take the initiative - Manchester United can either try to press at this moment, or be ready to offside at any time, the one who comes up first The player tried to steal the ball just right, and the other defender who couldn't steal the ball could cause offside, making Chelsea invalid even if they scored.

Cyril, who passed Gary Neville by widening the distance, kept his feet and rushed towards Ferdinand with the ball at an extremely fast speed. He looked like he was about to fight one-on-one with the opponent. Ferdinand did not dare to take it lightly and was vigilant. Pay attention to Cyril's movements.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Cyril's leg was slightly bent, and the other foot was passing through the slightly bent leg. Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted!

This is exactly the standard movement of flower arranging feet!

Ferdinand, who realized this, immediately became angry. The simple and straightforward explanation is that the flower arrangement is similar to the rainbow, which is not practical enough but more fancy.At this time, Ferdinand laughed angrily. The Chelsea player in front of him looked like a serious and simple boy. How could he use such a gesture?

No defender could tolerate such an insult, and Ferdinand was no exception. He squinted his eyes and planned to teach the guy in front of him a lesson!

"Slade's movements seem to be...extraordinary?" At the same time, the commentator also exclaimed in disbelief: "Is he crazy? This kind of fancy football is useless on the field at all! And the opponent is Ferdinand, using this kind of tricks in front of this kind of defender..." This is the rhythm of being tackled by the defender!

When everyone was shocked or angry because of Cyril's action, no one noticed that Cristiano, who was still near Chelsea's midfielder, suddenly ran wildly all the way as if he had seen something. run back!

Ferguson's expression froze. He knew that Cristiano was not the kind of person who was surprised at first glance. He must be so excited because he discovered something, and this discovery may directly change the score of this game!
