Chapter 172: Raider Ivanovic!

The score is still 1-0 for Liverpool, taking the lead at home! It’s just that, after the continuous attack at the beginning of the game, Liverpool’s offensive coordination relies on the wide range of movement of all players to pull off Chelsea’s solid defense. Therefore, the physical strength of the Liverpool players is actually consumed on the offensive end. very large!
As for the Liverpool players, when they intend to try to use the ball to slow down and catch their breath, this is the long-awaited opportunity for Chelsea players!
You know, apart from Drogba, who is an orthodox center and rarely participates in defense, Chelsea's other players, including Kalu and Malouda, have a very good ability to grab!
Under the Chelsea's players, they suddenly launched a high position. Liverpool's midfielders, after their physical decline, did not have the excellent ability to play the ball. Chelsea easily regained the ball!
For the Chelsea generals, this game, they are full of energy and high morale, they are reported to wash their humiliation!
You know, just last season, Chelsea encountered Liverpool 5 times in the league, the Champions League, and the English League Cup, but they were unbeaten! It can be said that Chelsea is Liverpool's biggest sufferer!
But in the two rounds of the league this season, under Scolari's coaching, Chelsea was doubled by Liverpool. Not to mention that since Abramovich took over Chelsea, Chelsea have always had the upper hand in the match against Liverpool. The last time Chelsea, which was slightly civilian, was double-killed by Liverpool in the league. It also dates back to the distant Liverpool dominance of the League. Years!
This is definitely not a small shame for Chelsea, who are at their peak at this stage, who think they are no weaker than any opponents!
Returning to the game, for two evenly matched teams, when a team wants to suppress the opponent within a certain period of time, it will inevitably pay a certain price. It depends on whether the price is worth it and whether it can be satisfactory. As a result!
For Benitez, since he chose to start the attack from the beginning in the first half, he intends to use his physical stamina in exchange for the advantage of the scene and take the lead in scoring a goal at home. At least the current game situation is completely on his own. What’s left is to do a good job of defense and contain Chelsea’s offense during the rest of the half. After all, Chelsea’s offensive tricks are so much in the eyes of Benitez. Nites thinks that his targeted defensive arrangement is pretty good!
"If I can score another counter-attack, then the rhythm of the entire knockout round will be in my hands, and Chelsea will not be afraid!"
What Benitez hopes most now is that the team can block under Chelsea's attack, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack and score another goal, then Chelsea is likely to crash directly at Anfield!
It's just that Benitez's defensive arrangement is certainly very targeted, but this Chelsea, perhaps, is different from the Chelsea in his impression!
"Chelsea's offensive opportunity!"
"It's still Malouda, look for opportunities on the left!"
"This time, Malouda took the initiative to dribble the ball close to the center and passed the ball shortly to Ballack who came over!"
"Barack kept the ball and slid the ball directly in front of Malouda!"
"It looks like this is a small cooperation between the two who have trained many times. After Malouda completed the pass, he already inserted into the penalty area with his heart, and just ran to Barack's through ball position!"
"However, Aveiroa's follow-up defense is quite successful. Malouda didn't give Malouda too much room for acceleration, and Malouda didn't have a shooting angle, so he couldn't directly complete the goal!"
"But! Malouda suddenly stopped in the process of playing the bottom, then turned around, swiped the ball, and hit the goal directly!"
"Averoa has been following Malouda. Even if he sees Malouda stop urgently, Aveiroa wants to stop, but after all, he is the passive side, so his forward inertia is obviously greater. , Leaving some room for Malouda!"
"Malouda! Stop and turn around! Just hit the door!"
"The empty place that leaked from Aveiroa was a direct volley!"
"Go in!" Malouda yelled in his own heart!
This is a quarter-elimination match of the Champions League. For every offensive player, he wants to dominate the game by scoring, and he can become the winner of the team to win the game. Every attacking opportunity, in this high It is rare in the level of competition!
Malouda relied on the small-scale cooperation with Barack’s 2 play 2 and he suddenly stopped and turned around during the journey, so that he could get rid of the defense and instantly obtained an excellent hitting space. !
With this kind of offensive method, it is possible that in the entire series, Aveiroa will no longer give Malouda such a breakthrough opportunity, only this one opportunity to complete a fatal blow!
In fact, this kick shot, Malouda, completed the sudden stop and turned around and then volleyed directly. It can be said that it is extremely coherent and smooth, and the quality of the shot is also excellent!
Seeing that the ball was spinning, flying towards the upper left corner of the goal with a slight arc, Malouda was very satisfied, at least in terms of shooting, he had done his best!
The rest is up to the opponent's goalkeeper!
"Reina! Flying sideways!"
"This ball is near a dead end!"
"But Reina! Blocked!"
"Reina's reaction speed is too fast. The instant explosive force brought the body to a sufficient height, and then stretched out the body, with enough arms, dragged the ball out of the beam with a single palm!"
"Malouda's shot was wonderful! But Reina's save was even better!"
This is the case in the football arena. For a wonderful game, both sides must perform well to make the game brilliant!
Taking Malouda’s kick to the goal, in the face of an ordinary opponent, even giving Reina another chance to save may not be able to make it. But this time in reality, Reina did it. Malouda could only shook his head and smiled helplessly!
Chelsea's corner kick chance!
In fact, Hiddink sent Ivanovic in this game instead of the usual main player Bosingwa's intention is actually very simple!
Everything on the football field is relative! Ivanovic is indeed on the defensive end, there is a problem of slow recovery speed and insufficient flexibility, but what I want to correspond to is that Ivanovic is tall enough and the header is good enough!
I think back then, when Hiddink was watching the Russian international, in many games of the Russian Super League, I saw the young Ivanovich, that excellent header ability!
In Lokomotiv Moscow, Ivanovic's header ability is a powerful supplement to the team's position-kick attack!
Although Ivanovic was still very young at the time, and in physical confrontation, he could not match many players in the Russian Super League! But when there are strong players in the team, Ivanovic's ability to abuse food in 1v1 is extremely good!
Hiddink’s impression is really too deep. In the Moscow derby against Dynamo Moscow by Lokomotiv Moscow, Ivanovic was defending against a midfielder who was not too tall, and he had a huge control. The height advantage of Ivanovich, that game not only relied on the header in the corner kick tactics to lead the team, but also afterwards, in the free kick tactics, grabbed the spot and sent assists to his teammates!
In that game, under the opponent's defense of only 1.8 meters, Ivanovic played the highest offensive performance in the Russian Super League career!
And Ivanovic’s header ability is the huge Surprise that Hiddink wants to use the most for Liverpool!
Look at the height of Liverpool players!
For Liverpool, in the process of defending the ball, the most sure defenders are of course the two central defenders Scotter, and Carragher, followed by the excellent header ability is Kuyt!
The remaining players do not have too many high points to take advantage of when defending high-altitude balls!
But Chelsea is different! Drogba may be the hardest center forward player in the world. You must send a central defender to Liverpool! Terry, the main England central defender who is also good at headers, you have to send someone to defend! Yang Feng~EbookFREE.me~ has proven his heading ability and judgment in the central defender in many games. Hiddink does not believe that Benitez will not make arrangements!
So for Ivanovic, this right back who was not in the original plan, a high right back, who can mark it?
The answer is that in the on-the-spot adjustment, in the corner kick defense, Liverpool will defend Ivanovic by Xavi Alonso!
The height difference between Ivanovic and Long Ge is 7 cm, and for Xavi Alonso, although he is playing in the midfielder, he is definitely not the kind of "black and hard" midfielder. For Ivanovic, the confrontation pressure it caused was not that great!
"Malouda, take the right corner!"
"Yang Feng still rushed to the front point, and Kuyt behind him was closely following Yang Feng, constantly confronting him, and disturbing Yang Feng's take-off!"
"But the arc and height of the ball flew to the area in front of the goal!"
"In the penalty area, Chelsea's main attack points, Drogba and Terry, are stuck in positions and want to fight for the header!"
"However, the height of the pass is still too high, past Drogba and Terry!"
"Later!"
"A blue figure!"
"Ivanovic!"
"Get in quickly from the edge of the penalty area!
"Jump to header!"
"Harvey Alonso stood in front of Ivanovich, but he couldn't form an effective barrier at all. The height and weight of the two are indeed not of the same magnitude!"
"Ivanovic! Overpowered Xavi Alonso and headed the goal!"
"GOAL!"
"Ivanovic! Evened the score for Chelsea! Ivanovic, who was unexpectedly given a starting chance in this game, made a contribution to Chelsea!"
