[football] walk side by side

Is it easy to reverse the game after falling behind by two goals in the first round of the European Champions Cup?

In fact, as long as we count the history of the Champions League for decades, we can find that there are only a handful of teams that can reverse the game and achieve a comeback when they are behind by two goals in the first round.So far, only Barcelona in 2000, Monaco and Deportivo in 2004 have achieved such a miracle.

It doesn't stop there.

In addition to the Champions League, Chelsea are also facing pressure from the league and the FA Cup.Indeed, for players like Lampard and Didier Drogba, time took away their stamina and speed, but failed to take away their experience and will.But it is undeniable that for Chelsea, which has many veterans in the team, it is basically impossible to rely on such a lineup to support the third-line battle at the same time.

But when Cyril once again walked out of the player tunnel talking and laughing with his familiar teammates, he found that his heart was peaceful.

It's hard to tell why this is-maybe it's because the presence of a veteran can soothe young players and make the whole team calm down, or, over the years, he has already unconsciously Among them, they are familiar with and used to such teammates.

Get used to Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien on defense.I am used to Drogba on the front line and Lampard who is my partner.I am also used to standing up in times of crisis countless times and saving Chelsea's Cech with both hands.

They may not be the best players in their positions.But for Cyril, they are not necessarily the best teammates, but they must be the most suitable for him.

Di Matteo sat on the coach's bench, constantly thinking about his own tactics.

From the moment Abramovich handed over the position of head coach to him lightly, he understood that the Chelsea boss had actually lost hope for this season, and the reason why he was appointed as the head coach was also It's just because there are currently no world famous coaches who are at home.

Regardless of the results of this season, the day when the 2010/2011 season ends must be the day when he packs up and leaves.

But Di Matteo doesn't care.

Will choose to return to Stamford Bridge because he really likes this team.He once spent the most wonderful time of his life at Stamford Bridge in the player era, and now, when he comes back as the head coach, even if Abramovich has no hope for him, even if he is in this Chelsea team The team does not have the majesty and control that a head coach fully possesses. He also wants to do his best and earnestly perform his duties as Chelsea coach.

He will not dream too high to dream of the championship. What he hopes now is to take Chelsea one step at a time and do his best to go further with Chelsea.

The captains of both sides began to guess sides near the center circle.

At the same moment, Di Matteo stood up, walked to the sidelines, and called a player. "Cyril..." He whispered a few words, then quickly let go of the visitor: "Go."

Surprise appeared on Cyril's face for a moment, but he quickly restrained his expression and nodded solemnly.

Chelsea won the kick-off.

Cyril turned around and returned to the field.

This is the first game that Di Matteo formally commanded after Boas dismissed get out of class.

For Naples coach Mazzarri, he is not quite sure what kind of style Chelsea will be under Di Matteo. A little more conservative.

But Di Matteo's choice is completely opposite to his vision.

Naples also tried to slowly and test the current Chelsea team's style of play, but they didn't know that the moment the referee blew the whistle, Chelsea started to move for real!

When Drogba kicked off, he kicked the ball directly to Cyril - since Di Matteo took office and Chelsea returned to the original defensive counterattack, Cyril's position has also returned to the midfielder. The position allows Cyril to organize the offense while more of himself joins the offense.

Di Matteo has observed the Chelsea core player.

Under Scolari and Villas-Boas, Cyril's position was the defensive midfielder, which was more offensive and defensive. Under Ancelotti, Cyril once radiated the brilliance of Mourinho. .

why?

After watching the video of Cyril many times, Di Matteo analyzed Cyril's ability in four dimensions from the perspective of passing and shooting. He found that although Cyril is almost an all-around player today, he is strictly Generally speaking, his strongest point is mainly in passing and passing, that is to say, in his ability to dominate the frontcourt.

The closer to the front line, the greater the threat that Cyril will bring to the opponent.

And it turns out that his arrangement was not wrong at all——

Seeing that Cyril rushed out with the ball directly, Lampard understood this.He did not choose to fill the position, but ran forward in the direction of the left.Hamsik and Ravitch rushed over to block him, but saw Cyril easily picked up the ball, then turned to the right, bypassed the half wall surrounded by the two, and received the ball again. while continuing to move forward.

"Excellent picking! Beautiful!" The commentator Jimmy praised loudly: "Chelsea does not seem to intend to test each other slowly with Naples, they are serious as soon as they come up! Naples seems to be a little unresponsive to this... Slade is very fast! Gargano can't keep up with him!"

Cyril maintained a high-speed forward trend, but kept the ball, and suddenly passed back to Drogba behind him.Gargano let go of Cyril without hesitation, and instead chased Drogba.

But Naples did not relax their vigilance against Cyril because he didn't have the ball, even for Lampard-Macho subconsciously turned around and chased after Cyril, and Aronika kept the distance getting closer Lampard didn't dare to move.

It's now!

Cyril reaches for the ball.

When Drogba ran forward, he kept paying attention to the situation in front of him. Seeing Cyril's request at this moment, he immediately sent his foot back to his feet without hesitation, and then continued to run forward.Lampard consciously continued to the left, which involved Naples' defense line also shifted slightly to the left.Macho was originally staring at Cyril, but now that the ball reached Cyril's feet, it even affected Campaniaro to double-team him!

Little did they know that Cyril was waiting for this moment!

He took advantage of the changes in the rhythm of running to slightly shake off Macho, and lightly led Campagnaro to make a 180-degree circle. While the distance between the two was further widening, they were heading towards the door. And the direction of going suddenly turned his back to the goal and outwards. This action surprised Ma Qiao, and subconsciously took a step forward. Cyril took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball forward.

Wear crotch!

The difference is that, because of the direction Cyril is in at this time, the ball going through the crotch is not facing the direction of the Naples goal, but the direction of the Chelsea goal. In other words, this is a cross. !

The ball quickly passed between Maggio's legs and fell to Ramirez's feet.The latter looked up and easily found that the opposite Naples' defense had been ruined by the series of passes and movements of Cyril, Lampard and Drogba. He didn't even think about it. A direct pass was sent directly.

In the past, whether the ball could pass through Naples' defense was a problem - after all, Serie A teams have always been famous for their defense, but at this moment, the players on Naples originally planned to gradually test it cautiously, but they were unexpectedly defeated. A fierce attack from Chelsea, and being turned upside down by Cyril's defense, I was a little dazed at the moment, I could only watch helplessly as the ball passed through my own defense line smoothly, and was stopped by Lampard underfoot.

Without giving De Santis any chance to react, Lampard penetrated the penalty area from the ribs and kicked the goal!

DeSantis couldn't react in time!

The ball crashed into the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Frank Lampard! Cyril's impact on the Naples defense in the frontcourt was too great. His forward penetration and passing made the entire Naples defense chaotic and successfully created a shot. Beautiful! Lampard obviously understood what he meant, and the cooperation between the two Chelsea midfielders is very tacit!"

"Chelsea scored the first goal in less than 2 minutes of the game! Naples seems to have nothing to do with this Chelsea that has changed its style... This Chelsea team is completely different from the Villas-Boas team. It's..."

"Cyril-Slade!" "Frank-Lampard!"

The "Blueis the colour" sung by the audience paused for a moment, and then turned into loudly shouting the names of all the players.The away game restrictions meant that there would not be too many fans following the team. However, even so, when Lampard kicked the ball into the goal frame, Chelsea fans also took over the stadium simultaneously.

The game has just started, but such a wonderful start is enough to rekindle hope for Chelsea fans in the game, and look forward to it piously.

Amidst the joyful commentary of the commentator and the instant cheers of a small number of Chelsea fans in the stands, Cyril raised his arms, clapped hands with Lampard and laughed, and the two spoke almost simultaneously:

"It's two goals away."

In fact, it's not just Cyril and Lampard.At this moment, on the coaching bench, on the bench, and even in the stands of the fans, the words that surround the hearts of Chelsea people come and go.

Two goals short.

In the European Champions Cup, is it difficult to score three goals in an away game against the opponent?

It is quite difficult.

but--

Cyril turned around and ran back with his teammates.

When Lampard, Drogba, Ashley Cole and others returned to the formation.When Drogba is a striker, but he doesn't mind retreating to assist the defense at all, and acts as a midfielder to sweep the defense.When Lampard runs back and forth between the frontcourt and the backcourt tirelessly and without trouble, when the whole team gradually exudes its original light because of the return of this branch .

He just knew—

Scoring three goals is actually not difficult.

A smile played on DiMatteo's lips.

Football has never been just a sport that only relies on technology and body. In many cases, the mental state of players can also have a considerable impact on the game.He could see that the Chelsea players were completely excited at this time.

In the 31st minute of the game, Chelsea won a corner kick.

Originally, Lampard was supposed to take the corner kick. However, when he was about to go up to take the free kick, he was stopped by Cyril. Said: "I'll come."

Lampard froze for a moment, then nodded readily.

If it was a free kick, Lampard might still hesitate for a while, because in fact, Cyril's free kick is not very good, although it is not bad, but the scoring rate has not been much higher.

And now...

It's just a corner kick. Although Chelsea's penalty shooter has always been him, if Cyril thinks of a better way, he certainly doesn't mind giving it up.Besides, corner kicks have always been more like passing the ball. The player is mainly responsible for sending the ball into the penalty area, and then the players in the penalty area score after a chaotic fight. If it is Cyril, maybe he can find a better one. Angle, send it to the player near the top of your own team.

Therefore, at this moment, Cyril asked for a free throw, but he didn't think much about it. He just gave it away as if he had some good ideas.

The Chelsea fans in the stands tried their best to outshine the Naples fans and cheer for the team.Secretly expecting this ball to be scored.

Although it is not a penalty kick or a free kick, a corner kick is also a good opportunity.

Di Matteo was thinking, and at this time, several good headers and relatively strong players in the Chelsea team came to the opponent's goal one after another.For Chelsea, who have returned to muscle flow, their physical fitness is not bad, and this style has been integrated into their bones for a long time. Although Boas changed his style for a while during the period, but not long after the start of the game, they I found a familiar feeling smoothly.

In terms of contention in the penalty area, Chelsea will not lose to anyone.

Aronika and Campagnaro stared nervously at Drogba in the middle of the two. According to Chelsea's game video, Warcraft has always been a dangerous figure in corner kicks. Coach Mazzarri I have repeatedly emphasized before the game that you must not give the opponent a chance in the penalty area. When defending, at least ensure that there are two or more players staring at him, because it is difficult for a single player to overwhelm Dro in physical confrontation. Ba's.

The referee blew his whistle.

Cyril lifts his foot!

The ball crossed a beautiful arc and flew straight towards the penalty area.Aronika noticed Drogba's movement with sharp eyes, and pressed him quietly. Macho stared at Ivanovic, trying to isolate him from the football, and Inle squeezed Stu Rich, I plan to clear the ball...

There is chaos in the restricted area!

However, just as Aronika and Campagnaro were clinging to Drogba, Maggio aimed at Ivanovic... The Naples players followed the instructions of the head coach and sent everyone who was in the penalty area While the Chelsea players inside were staring at each other, a jaw-dropping scene happened on the pitch at this moment!

There is no pass, and no refraction transformation. The ball was taken from the corner kick and landed in the goal accurately at an angle close to 0 degrees!At this time, Naples goalkeeper De Santis was still focusing on the Chelsea players in front of him. No one thought that the real fatal blow came from the moment the corner kick was taken!

"!!! Unbelievable!! Cyril Slade took a zero degree corner!! He sent the corner straight into the goal at the time of the penalty! Chelsea have always had a huge advantage in muscle flow and high altitude, the corner kick It is a very important scoring method for them. Naples defended well, but no one expected that Slade's corner kick would hit the goal directly! Beautiful! This is definitely the best goal of the game!!"

"Chelsea's second goal! A high-quality corner kick from Cyril Slade! Now Chelsea 2:0 Naples, counting the score at Stamford Bridge, the two sides have returned to the same starting line! Only in history Will Chelsea be the fourth team to do so after three teams have staged a super comeback from two goals behind in the first leg of the Champions League?"

Chelsea fans jumped up from their seats excitedly, cheering!

The Naples fans looked blankly at the football lying quietly in the goal, and hadn't reacted for a while.

That's...a goal?

Before the start of this game, Naples fans were extremely confident in this game-you must know that the team that has been able to achieve a total score reversal after falling behind by two goals in the first round so far has counted in the history of the Champions League , There are only three teams!After leading by two goals at Stamford Bridge, Naples almost entered the quarter-finals with almost half of their body!

Thinking about the various difficulties Chelsea faced before this game, even the previous head coach was forced to leave by his own players, and the dressing room was in such a mess. It stands to reason that the team's performance should be even worse, right?

However, now, less than half of the game has just passed, Chelsea have obviously become more and more courageous as they fight, and even in the first half, they evened the score with two beautiful goals!

Mazari shook his head helplessly.

His arrangement of corner kicks against Chelsea was actually in place, but no one expected that Slade, who has always been basically insulated from free throws, would take the initiative to ask for free kicks, and he also made such a high-quality corner kick.

Sometimes football is like that.Even if you do everything possible to prevent regular goals, it is also difficult to prevent the flashes of superstars.

"It's ok, Cyril, when did you learn this trick?" Several players who were closest to Cyril swarmed over, pressed down on the goal hero and celebrated enough, and then let him go, laughing. Asked: "It's just right, I will hand over the corner kicks to you from now on."

As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar again, after being celebrated by your teammates for a long time, Cyril is almost completely used to it.When his teammates let him go, Cyril just calmly smoothed his messy hair: "I have practiced recently, but the success rate cannot be guaranteed. Generally speaking, it still depends on luck."

He is smiling and saying luck, but Di Matteo on the coach's bench doesn't think so.

In addition to goalkeepers and defensive players, midfielders and strikers can actually judge a player's personal ability from the four dimensions of passing and stopping. In the game about Cyril observed by Di Matteo, Cyril's ability is even better. Most of them are reflected in the two aspects of passing and passing. In terms of pure forward skills such as the sense of smell in front of the goal, grabbing points in front of the goal, and competing for heights, Cyril is actually not as good as a striker like Drogba. of.

For a long time, although Cyril has also staged long-distance attacks, and after being exquisite, he swung the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal. However, this kind of excitement is more concentrated before the shot-that is, before the shot. up, not the shot itself.

But this corner kick made Di Matteo shine.

Because he saw Cyril's ability and possibility in pure shooting.

If Cyril's shot is stronger, then Chelsea, who mainly focus on defensive counterattacks, don't have to worry about the kind of teams that play iron barrel formations, because even in iron barrel formations, it is difficult to defend the entire game. A player's personal performance may be directly exposed.

It's a pity...he remembered the transfer that failed to be negotiated during the summer break this year-Chelsea originally intended to buy Tottenham's core Luka Modric, but the chairman of Tottenham refused very firmly, no matter how high Abramovich's asking price Nor wavered.Otherwise, he could try to push Cyril directly to the front line.

Of course, Cyril would not know how many fantasies aroused by his head coach because of his corner kick, and even had the idea of ​​pushing him to the front line-but if he knew this in time, he would definitely refuse. For Cyril, The organizing midfielder is his favorite position, even if the striker can show off, he is not interested.

As a striker, it is a very cool thing to come and go freely between the opponent's defense lines and rampage, but in comparison, Cyril prefers the feeling of being an organizing midfielder and controlling the overall situation.

But despite this, after Cyril scored this corner kick, he did not return to his organizational position as usual.

After receiving the pass from the backcourt as usual, he rushed up again without looking back!

"Wow! Slade's speed is so fast! He ran like a gust of wind!" Jimmy praised: "Slade's forward movement in this game is much stronger than the previous Chelsea games , After the veteran of the Blues returned to his position, he began to switch positions with Lampard frequently and break forward! This is really a familiar scene, isn't it?"

As a commentator, Jimmy is not the first time to comment on a Chelsea game. In fact, he is a Chelsea fan, otherwise he would not be so excited and passionate when Chelsea scored a goal. Now he is looking at the field The emotion of nostalgia gradually emerged in his eyes.

After so many years of twists and turns, I tried a variety of lineups and tried a variety of tactics. In the end, what was left in the end was always such a Chelsea team.

If Chelsea's overall tactics are simple and crude muscle flow and power flow, then Cyril is the most delicate part of the team. Chelsea, which is mainly anti-reverse, encounters an offensive dilemma, Cyril will back up with a solid defense behind him, switch positions with Lampard repeatedly, and personally step forward to tear the opponent's defense!

And all Chelsea people know that in the face of Cyril's seemingly understated breakthrough, at least the Naples team in front of them-can't stop it!

The author has something to say: Side by side, all the settings, games and timelines that are currently suspected of bugs are all plots that need to be specially set up, not bugs.

Generally speaking, the information in my hand is still very detailed? 2002-2004 Porto, 1905-2015 Chelsea corresponding to "Mourinho: Made in Portugal", "My World-Madman Mourinho Biography", "Iron Blood and Blue Soul", in addition to many Henry Bergkan Various biographies such as Pferguson Ibripi taught me how to be a common-sense Sususu.For example, "Iron Blood and Blue Soul" includes the general situation of Chelsea's league and cup games, player transfers, the date of the head coach's appointment and dismissal, detailed explanations of key games, tactics, lineup, etc., which can be said to be everything.When I wrote the second volume, the book was kept next to the computer, because some details may be used at any time.For example, the date of the game, the venue, the name of the head coach, and the head coaches and lineups of some small teams cannot be found in encyclopedias.At this time, I have to turn over the book.

In this case, there must be no unintentional setting bugs.

I have to say that I am still not sure about the third volume. I only have one "Real Madrid Bible" in my hand, but this book mainly talks about the glorious history of Real Madrid, the Hall of Fame with various statistics, etc. For the games after 2011 There is basically no introduction to ORZ, and I plan to buy another copy of "Real Madrid-Real Madrid" or "Hanging the Crown", but after reading the reviews, it says that there are not many chapters after the 2011 game?Is there any little angel who is more familiar with this aspect, or has bought it himself? QAQ ball recommended.
