Step by Step to Win - Chapter 478
For Chelsea, Mourinho obviously has a high level of confidence, but the Wolfsburg facing him is definitely not a very good team to deal with. At the beginning of the game, Chelsea did immediately give Wolfsburg a disarm, but in the next game, time passed by every minute, and the entire first half passed quickly, but Chelsea never managed to capture Wolfsburg. Door.
Hazard came in again and again, and Eto’o moved again and again. Chelsea’s players exhausted all their skills in the Wolfsburg half, but they were still unable to break through Wolfsburg’s defense. Compared with the previous game, apart from the reverse of offense and defense, the situation of the game turned out to be extremely close. Chelsea were also helpless in the face of Wolfsburg’s deadly defense.
Obviously, it’s not just Chelsea that comes prepared. In this game, Chelsea, of course, adjusted their lineup and was full of confidence, but in order to be able to defend Chelsea’s offense, before the game, Wolfsburg not only carried out stronger tactical planning, but also on the psychological level. The game has also been strengthened. Facing Chelsea’s offense, Wolfsburg has been very decisive and has been defending steadily since the opening. In this game, Chelsea wants to win, it is far from easy, their opponents are not a good bite.
After all, even though Chelsea’s offense has become much stronger, the Wolfsburg at home still has a lot of advantages. Their defense is not bad, and the opponent’s attacking moves are only those two or three. With full defense, Wolfsburg’s defense is naturally very stable.
After getting 2-2 in the away game, after returning to the home court, Wolfsburg can get the final victory as long as they hold firmly. Obviously, Wolfsburg is also very clear about this. Under such conditions, it is natural that Wolf Castle cannot be collapsed at once on the court. Their persistence is also very strong, Chelsea’s offense has never been able to play any role.
However, it was a 2-2 draw. After all, it’s just a too small advantage, just a goal. Can break this balance. Chelsea, who insisted on attacking on the court, obviously knew this very well. Although the attack was not so ideal, they never stopped attacking. Obviously because they knew that if they persisted, they could win.
The Champions League game is not just a contest of skills and tactics. It is also a contest of fighting spirit and will. This game once again proved this point. After the second half, in this contest of fighting spirit and will, Chelsea once again had the upper hand.
Shortly after the beginning of the second half, Lampard was on the midfield and once again won the football, and when he was holding the ball, Hazard on the left also quickly chose to move forward at this time.
Chelsea’s game. This is the most common attack mode. The midfielder passes Hazard directly to attack, which is the most common method used by Chelsea. And to this. The Wolfsburg players obviously knew very well, they were also shrinking, and immediately gathered near Hazard, trying to prevent this shot.
Their defense is enough to leave Hazard without any chance, but Lampard did not choose to hand the ball to Hazard again in the middle circle. He took a step forward, slammed the ball forward, and passed the ball forward to Eto’o who was back in front of the penalty area.
In this process. Lampard did not choose conventional tactics, but used a more accurate through ball. Let Chelsea get a chance! This pass allowed Eto’o to get the ball directly in front of the penalty area. And this is exactly what Lampard means on the court.
In fact, if I really want to say, compared with Lampard, David Luiz’s technical level is not bad at all. The combination of him and Matic is definitely the strongest midfielder combination in Chelsea. However, as a defender, he was a bit too scribbled in offensive skills after all. In many cases, his passing is not very thoughtful. Compared to Lampard, he is inferior after all, and it is also the most important reason for Mourinho to use him in this kind of key game.
Chelsea is not a team that is particularly good at offense and can create many opportunities, so they need to seize every hard-won opportunity. Players who are too irritable when playing like David Luiz, and often play the ball without thinking, are really not suitable for them. The more they want to win, the more they need to be safe, and this is exactly what Lampard is about.
In front of the penalty area, Eto’o, who received the ball, has already approached the penalty area with the ball. After half of the game, Eto’o’s spirit was still very good. After he got the ball, he immediately pushed the ball forward and approached the penalty area of Wolfsburg.
And seeing his arrival, the players of Wolfsburg are also very close to enemies: they all know how terrible Eto’o with the ball at his feet is compared to a player like Xuerle.
And this time, standing in front of the penalty area, Eto’o immediately let Wolfsburg see his outstanding level. With the ball, he moved forward cautiously. In front of Kayar who was watching the defense, he seemed to be ready to break to the right, and was carefully looking for an angle to expedite acceleration. However, after shaking twice in front of Kjaer, Eto’o found the opportunity when Kjaer retreated with a small step. He suddenly slammed the ball with his right foot to the left, and moved a step laterally in front of the penalty area!
Kayar, standing in front of him, had no way to keep up with his sudden movement. He had originally prepared Eto’o for a frontal attack, but who knew that Eto’o chose such a side move to avoid the weight. He really wanted to chase the past and grabbed the ball from Eto’o. However, the continuous spiking of the left and right feet during the dribbling process was originally Eto’o’s most proud technique. Even Kjaer wanted to chase the ball. , Where can we catch up?
Eto’o suddenly took a step to the left, placing him on the right side of the penalty area, and suddenly opened up the defense with Kjaer. Although the distance seems to be only one step away, it is no longer possible for Kayar to keep up with him.
For a top striker like Eto’o, even a distance of just one step away is enough.
At the front of the penalty area, Eto’o did not hesitate anymore after opening the distance from Kjaer. He caught up with the football, and then kicked the football with a straight shot with his left foot. In the process of his shooting, he did not have a little preparation and wasted time to adjust his pace. From smashing to shooting, he only took three steps. Between these three steps, he smashed the ball with his right foot and shot with his left foot. The technology is also displayed incisively and vividly.
Although this shot doesn’t seem difficult, the real level is very good. Both of his feet showed excellent skills, which many players will never be able to match in their entire lives. Eto’o, as a master with the same skill in left and right feet, can shoot from left to right. This is also his biggest advantage, enough to catch many defensive players off guard.
What’s more, in his shot, in addition to his ball-handling ability, his shooting skills are also very fully demonstrated: from the moment he moved a step to the left from the spike just now, in front of him, Gnar Duo has already rushed over. And after Eto’o completely dodges Kejar, Nardo has also blocked the route of his shot. Wolfsburg’s defense has indeed improved a lot after experiencing the toughness of the last game. Compared to before, they have done a great job, but this kind of blocking has not been able to embarrass Eto’o. .
In just three short steps, Eto’o not only adjusted his pace well, but also used his excellent judgment ability to choose the best angle of shot. Even if Nardo’s defensive supplement is extremely timely, it is impossible to embarrass Eto’o. His kick shot directly over the top of Naldo’s head, went over his head, and fell directly toward the goal!
Ball control, awareness, skill in left and right feet, shooting skills, anticipation, the basic skills of these forwards, Eto’o has all demonstrated in just three steps. Now he may not be the cheetah with top running speed that can make people fearful, but even so, he is still the top offensive master!
The football passed over Nardo’s head and flew towards the goal behind him. And the accuracy of this shot made people all sigh with excitement. After tracing an arc in the air, the football almost flew to the upper left corner of the goal against the crossbar, and Benalio, who stood a little far away, even if he jumped frantically towards this place, he was still beyond reach. There is no way to stop the route of football.
The football came more and more in the sky, against the roar of the fans, and got into the goal!
In 53 minutes of the second half, Chelsea finally scored their goal. Eto’o’s shot finally allowed Chelsea to take the lead!
The big score was turned into 3-2 by them, and for the first time they began to have the upper hand. Eto’o’s goal allowed Chelsea to finally see the dawn of victory. Standing on the edge of the court~www.mtlnovel.com~ Mourinho also raised his hands proudly to celebrate his team’s lead. The two games combined for more than 140 minutes, Chelsea finally got the leading points, such a hard-won lead, he has enough reasons to cheer.
Standing on the field, watching the football fly into the net, the players of Wolfsburg can only express emotion. However, they were not as extremely sad as usual.
Maybe it’s because in the last game against Chelsea, they realized that their mental instability is their biggest enemy. In the game against Dortmund, they also sharpened themselves, so in this game, even if they are behind. , The players of Wolfsburg are still not desperate so quickly.
One goal behind is indeed a bit of a headache, but this is not a reason for despair. In the last game, Chelsea was able to kill at the end, but in this game, Wolfsburg still has time. Throughout the second half, they played at home and might not be able to score. What’s more, 50 minutes have passed. As time goes by, the physical fitness of Chelsea players may not be able to keep up.
Mourinho chose to use the veteran, then he has to bear the trouble brought by the veteran. Looking at the stadium, Lampard, who is not running very fast, and the players of Wolfsburg are also thinking to themselves how to use the opponent’s physical strength. (To be continued)
