I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 1023
Latest URL: The second half of the game restarted.
Manchester City still firmly controls the initiative on the field, but the overall formation is appropriately retreated, especially the front Trident’s pressure on Chelsea’s midfield and backcourt has been significantly weakened. This allowed Chelsea to play after the start of the second half. The ball possession rate has been improved to more than 30%.
Many people have also noticed this phenomenon.
The live TV commentator thought that this was a last resort move by Manchester City, because it had to take into account the physical fitness of the players to run the court.
“If you continue to use the high-pressure tactics of the first half, Manchester City’s players will definitely not be able to maintain the 90 minutes of the game, and there may even be such a consumption of overtime. Therefore, Guardiola retreats appropriately to allow the midfielder Players have reduced their physical consumption, and it seems that he is not confident enough to break the deadlock in the game.”
“This group of Chelsea players did really well tonight, especially the combination of Cahill and Terry, which completely froze Soto in the first half. I believe that if they can continue to maintain this level in the second half, Chelsea today In the evening, there is a good chance to seal Manchester City, even defeat Manchester City.”
The trend of the game seems to prove that Su Dong seems to be submerged in the middle of Cahill and Terry.
After the start of the second half, although the team’s midfield and backcourt retreated, Su Dong still did not get much room to play, which made his performance at the beginning of the second half still lackluster.
Manchester City fans looked a little anxious. Many fans in the stands were calling out the name of Su Dong, hoping that he could stand up.
In the past two years, they have become accustomed to Su Dong always coming forward when the team needs him. I believe it is the same this time, but I don’t know why, Su Dong does not seem to perform very well.
…
“Is he a little tired?”
From the stands, Su Dong’s father Su Wenji asked worriedly.
He heard the appeal of the surrounding Manchester City fans and felt their anxiety. In fact, he himself was also anxious.
It’s all in the second half, and the offense still hasn’t gotten up. Is it really necessary to finish the regular game zero-to-zero?
Or is it really going to be dragged into a penalty shoot-out by Chelsea?
Wang Qingquan is also a senior fan, but he doesn’t understand what is too professional. He faintly feels something is wrong, but he can’t tell where it is.
On the contrary, it was Wang Chuqing, who knew Su Dong best.
“He is not tired, and there is no problem in his state. It may be a tactical factor.”
After a pause, Wang Chuqing showed a faint smile, “Don’t worry, he will definitely be able to overcome it.”
If you want to say who has the most confidence in Su Dong in the entire stadium, it must be her.
Since the two realized that now, Su Dong’s performance has never disappointed her, and I believe it must still be the case this time.
Both Su Wenji and Wang Qingquan were very worried, but they didn’t understand football games, so they nodded and continued to watch the football.
…
Not far from Su Dong’s parents, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta and Jose Semedo were also sitting together, and they all watched the game anxiously.
But as the best professional players in the world, they have played games with both teams. They are very familiar with each other, and their thinking about the game up to now is obviously different from that of ordinary fans.
“Fifty-five minutes, Manchester City still need to speed up the adjustment, sort out the attack as soon as possible, otherwise, the time is not enough.” Iniesta also said quite solemnly.
Many people think that Manchester City simply retreated the formation from the second half, but as a midfielder, Iniesta knows better than anyone. This seems simple, but in fact there are many problems involved.
Guardiola wants David Silva and Tony Cross to play more flexibly, so after the start of the second half, they often appear on the wing, such as David Silva to the left, but how to play with Marseille Luo and Di Maria cooperate to form a partial number advantage?
Strength is all right, but how to cooperate is the key.
The same goes for Tony Cross’s side.
Now Manchester City’s formation has withdrawn, and Chelsea have naturally followed forward. There is more space in the frontcourt, but there is a problem with the advancement of the ball. It must be resolved as soon as possible so that Sudong can get the ball in the frontcourt.
“His current thinking should be what I said before the game. The biggest problem for Gary Cahill and Terry is to guard against kicks. Even this is Chelsea’s biggest problem. Sue has the ability to break through and make The premise is to give him space.” Messi analyzed.
In the first half, Manchester City’s tactics were high pressure, directly compressing Chelsea into a single piece, causing Su Dong to be trapped in the frontcourt. Whenever he gets the ball, he is surrounded by people, let alone Su Dong’s big goal. Faced with such defensive pressure, Messi asked himself that he couldn’t make a difference on the court.
Looking at the world, how many stars can stably win one-on-one?
Not to mention one-to-two, or even one-to-three.
In many cases, the one-to-many scenes in the videos that fans talk about are actually a kind of dislocation, using the defensive gaps to attack the opponent’s loopholes.
But the situation facing Su Dong in the first half is obviously not. He is facing multiple defensive players at the same time. Who can bear it?
“Man City played wrong in the first half and didn’t show Su’s all-round all-around characteristics. Instead, he forced him to play like a center, playing against Cahill and Terry. It turns out that this can’t work. It should be like now and there is space. , Let him get the ball.” Cristiano Ronaldo is also familiar with the Premier League, familiar with opponents, and more familiar with Su Dong.
“Chelsea’s centre-backs are all typical English centre-backs. Their characteristics are not complementary. They are all high-defense and good frontal defense, but they turn slowly. Cahill doesn’t have a good sense of position. He likes to grab the first game. Terry is old. , The body cannot keep up with the consciousness, as long as the two players are staggered, let alone Su, you and I can easily handle them.”
For this, Cristiano Ronaldo is also confident.
Messi smiled and responded without answering, but he was equally confident.
As the top three superstars in world football, they have a clear enough understanding of their own strength.
Ronnie is characterized by explosive power and speed. Messi is characterized by excellent dribbling ability. As Ronnie said, there is a real chance to kill Cahill and Terry.
“If it doesn’t work, just change to Hazard and let him go up to share the pressure. His ball advancement is still very level.” Messi suggested.
But at this moment, no one knows what Guardiola is thinking.
It’s as if everyone doesn’t quite understand, why is he so obsessed with possession?
…
Time slowly entered sixty minutes.
Manchester City still has the initiative, is still constantly trying, and constantly infiltrating and advancing.
Chelsea’s possession rate is stable in the early 30s, but still dare not take risks on the offensive end.
There is a very obvious difference from the first half, that is, the battle between the two sides is basically in the midfield.
This represents a change in the tactics of both sides.
If, like in the first half, one side retreats very far back and the other side’s offensive pressure is very forward, then there will not be too much fighting between the two midfielders, because the retreating side will concentrate all its forces on the defense and let the other side. Take control of the game, and then wait for the opportunity to directly hit the back with a long pass to form a counterattack.
In the whole process, the midfielder is more passive defense.
But now it’s different. Manchester City retreats appropriately and Chelsea will naturally press forward. Both sides have the opportunity to get the ball, so naturally there will be more battles in the midfield.
For Manchester City, this is a certain risk, because once the opponent seizes the opportunity and hits behind, the defense will be a problem, but Chelsea’s risk also exists, that is, the overall formation will no longer stick to the penalty area. There is also much room for Manchester City to attack.
In the 63rd minute, Chelsea kicked the first shot of the audience.
Lampard passed the ball to the right in the midfield, Drogbara went to the wing, hit Marcelo’s back, and rushed into the penalty area with the ball. Courtois saves.
The Belgian goalkeeper did not hold the ball for the first time, and held the ball in his arms for the first time after falling to the ground.
Chelsea fans applauded enthusiastically at the scene.
Although the first shot was taken in 63 minutes, this data is indeed embarrassing, but for Chelsea, this is already considered precious, after all, the team has stabilized the defense.
Moreover, this is a threatening shot.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. If you have the first time, you will naturally have a second time.
Chelsea fans began to cheer for the players on the field. Both coaches Guardiola and Di Matteo did not intend to make substitutions. The players on the bench took turns to warm up, but no one came on the bench.
Obviously, both of them are waiting.
In the words of the live TV commentator, “What if overtime?”
Time passed unconsciously.
Just after 70 minutes of the game, Pepe made a sudden grab and timely intercepted the ball passed by Ramirez to Drogba, and quickly passed it straight to David Silva in front. At the feet.
The Chelsea player immediately countered on the spot, Lampard went straight to David Silva~www.mtlnovel.com~ but the Spanish player kicked the ball directly to the left, and saw that Marcelo had already thrown away Lamy. Reis, as fast as he can move forward along the left, after receiving a pass from David Silva, he strode forward.
Under Ramirez’s restrictions, Marcelo’s performance in this game was not much brighter. This time he rarely got rid of the entanglement of his Brazilian compatriots. He took the ball all the way into the 30-meter area of Chelsea and passed it straight to Di Maria.
Ivanovic reacted fast enough to take the lead and grab the ball before Di Maria.
The ball was interrupted, but Ivanovic hadn’t controlled the ball yet, Di Maria countered the ball on the spot, stabbed the ball, Marcelo followed up and grabbed the ball before Meireles. Stabbed to the left rib retreat, undefended Su Dong.
Ivanovic left Di Maria for the first time and ran to Su Dong.
But Su Dong stopped the ball with his left foot to his left, that is, in the middle. After turning around and getting rid of Ivanovic’s defense, he completed a beautiful continuous stop.
This is definitely Su Dong’s specialty!
