Vol 5 Chapter 172: Tactical confrontation

After the second half of the game restarted, Chelsea all excitedly launched a sharp attack on the Manchester City goal, Manchester City was once again suppressed. [Full text reading ..]
But Manchester City are not as passive as the opening of the first half. The players have already adapted to the game. They know how to deal with this offensive reasonably.
The contraction of the defense line is certain, but it cannot be completely contracted, but there is Zhang Youchi. The players in front of the formation still run back and forth in the back of the center line. They form the first line of defense, and the defensive midfielder is in front of the back line. , And then the back line.
In this way, Manchester City formed a "two fronts" to deal with Chelsea's offensive. The front line of the central defense is still very powerful. The continuous running and interception of the frontcourt players will bring a lot of trouble to Chelsea's offensive. They want to break this. The defense line must be broken, and then they must face the second defense line. Manchester City's defender line is very strong. Under the leadership of experienced Dunn, the backcourt players are also very active. They will try to keep Chelsea's Score points'.
At this time, Wan Sheng's pre-competition was reflected.
Chelsea's defense must not be able to stare at each other. Selective marking is very important. At this time, Shepchenko is often not taken seriously, and Drogba, Lampard and other people are defensively focused.
Such a defense is certainly easy to give Shepchenko a chance, but there is no way. The defensive side is already passive, and it cannot always focus on all points. It is estimated that 22 players and teammates will play.
Fortunately, as Wan Sheng thought, Shepchenko was not in a state.
Mourinho did not choose to replace Shepchenko in the second half. Maybe he wanted to give the Ukrainian star more time to find the state, but Shepchenko still has nothing to do, many people have a feeling, Shepchenko In the frontcourt, it seems that it was to set off Kopler Ferreira's excellent defense. It is estimated that if Shepchenko knows what everyone thinks, he will definitely look black, but obviously his performance is like this.
When Shepchenko, who was 'abandoned', did not perform well, Chelsea's attack was quite weak, because Lampard, Drogba and others were all defended to death.
Whenever Lampard got the ball in front of the penalty area. There will be two players coming to mark, he has very few chances even from the start, Lampard is not good at passing wonderful tactics, plus Drogba is defended very dead. As a result, Chelsea's offensive can only come back without success.
At this time, many Chelsea players were puzzled. They clearly played offense and played well. How could they not find a chance in front of the door?
When in doubt, we must find the cause, and they soon found out. They seem to be one less than Manchester City?
This is not a decrease in the number of people, but a feeling. Just like when they are sent off and then go to play against their opponents, the feeling of one less person in the game is obvious. So why are there fewer people now?
The on-site commentator gave the answer, "Look at this foot! Hey ... Sheva seems completely out of shape! It looks like he hasn't adapted to the Premier League game ..."
This is the reason.
Shepchenko's performance is too bad, Chelsea's team is the least defended him, but he is always wasting opportunities, it seems completely absent, like sleepwalking.
See Shepchenko's performance. Wan Sheng smiled at ease.
In the memory of the previous life, he knew that Shepchenko arrived at Chelsea, which was the beginning of his career, but it was not clear how Chelsea performed poorly, so before the game, it was a kind of telling the team The bet is also necessary-in any case, Shepchenko's threat will not be greater than Drogba, so be sure to guard Drogba.
Now it seems that he has good luck. Gambling won.
Shepchenko has not adapted to Chelsea at all. He is not in the state to adapt to the Premier League. Such Shepchenko has nothing to fear. Perhaps, from this moment, Shepchenko has lost the magical aura, he is no longer the 'Ukrainian nuclear warhead' that makes his opponent tremble.
Of course, this is good news for Manchester City.
But when he saw the team's counterattack, Wan Sheng also frowned. He found that Chelsea changed the defensive strategy.
When Manchester City attacked in the first half, Chelsea would shrink the defense line for the first time. The front court players will desperately run backwards, but now it is different. After Chelsea played a wave of attack, they did not shrink the defense line, but the back line. Collectively press forward.
What is this for? Do everything possible to siege? In terms of time, it is a bit too early.
Soon Wan Sheng became clear.
Manchester City's two consecutive offenses ended with the offside of the player. The first time was Anelka. He didn't expect that the Chelsea defender line would suddenly push forward. He was not prepared for this. The result was directly offside. The second time was Downing. He ran too forward on the sidelines, but when Morris passed the pass, he was already offside.
This is offside!
Wan Sheng understood, Chelsea was deliberately creating an offside!
Wan Sheng turned his head and looked at Mourinho who was also standing on the sidelines. It happened that Mourinho also looked over. The two looked at each other with cold faces and turned their heads away.
From Mourinho ’s expression, it is difficult to see anything, but Chelsea ’s defensive tactics are indeed creating offsides. This is undoubtedly one offense once or twice, which can be said to be a problem for players to play, but continuous offside. Not just playing, but the other party intends to do so.
Wan Sheng looked at the court and began to carefully consider the use of the other party to do so.
This play is very effective.
Ten minutes into the second half, Manchester City's several offensive waves were all resolved by the offside trap, and then Chelsea took the initiative. Their ball control time was even more than Manchester City, so Chelsea gained the advantage of the situation, despite their attack In fact, it also poses a great threat, but it is quite difficult to take the initiative in the game. You know, Chelsea was almost pressed by Manchester City in the second half of the first half.
Can think of this tactics against Manchester City, Mourinho is worthy of leading Porto to the top of Europe.
In the memory of the previous life, Mourinho was quite successful. Without him, Chelsea have won two championships. Of course, now it is completely different with him. He and Mourinho have no personal hatred, but football This is the case in the world. There is only one winner and they are now in the Premier League. There can only be one winner.
Wan Sheng was convinced that it would be him.
Mourinho's adjustment is very simple, is to use the offside to counter Manchester City's advantage in ball control, squeezing Manchester City's offensive space. This has many advantages, but one thing is for sure, it is also very dangerous, because as long as the anti-offside is successful, Chelsea's goal will appear in front of the Manchester City striker.
Then all you need to do now is to play more straights!
This is the most direct means!
Wan Sheng smiled.
He suddenly realized that he was actually very successful. Can Mourinho's Chelsea have to use this adventurous tactic, and few teams around the world can do it? But Manchester City he led did.
After being intoxicated, Wansheng quickly made adjustments.
He didn't choose to replace him, he just called Morris, and told him to let others play more straight shots. Now Morris is the captain on the field and is very prestigious on the team. Telling him to be alone is enough.
After finishing, Wan Sheng returned to the coach seat and sat down.
The next game is played by the players. But he believes that the final victory will be Manchester City.
The opponent's offside tactics are very targeted at Manchester City, but they are also dangerous. They made 100 offsides and only defended 100 times. However, if it is unsuccessful, then the team has a chance to face the goal. It means scoring a goal.
Mourinho wanted to fight with himself for time and opportunity.
This kind of tactics takes a long time, and it is easy to have problems. After all, no one can guarantee that the offside will always be successful, but at the same time this style of play just restrains Manchester City's ball control. Because Manchester City needs space to control the ball, Chelsea squeezed the space, Manchester City can't want to pass the ball, at least not in the frontcourt. So Chelsea have more space and time, they use these advantages to complete the goal.
As long as they scored more goals than Manchester City, they won.
Perhaps the only thing Mourinho didn't think of was that Chelsea's offense was so weak. They took advantage of the field for so long and still failed to score any goals.
It seems that if this game is won. I must thank Shepchenko ... it is precisely because this Ukrainian star does not play well, the team's goal can be so stable.
...
The game continued fiercely.
Chelsea ’s defenders have gradually adapted to play offside. Although they rarely practice such dangerous defensive tactics, they are all top guards in the world and all know what to do. The only thing needed is a tacit cooperation .
After several successful defenses, they also had some mutual understanding.
They are very cautious in defense and always stare at Anelka who rushes to the front. David Silva and Downing are also their key opponents. They know that these three players are the most likely to appear in the Manchester City formation. Forefront.
The same is true next.
Anelka, as the only striker, naturally rushes ahead, and sometimes after he runs out of position, Downing and David Silva may rush past.
Manchester City already knows Chelsea ’s play style, so when Manchester City attacks, there will be some changes in the running of several people. Anelka will sometimes suddenly withdraw to test Chelsea ’s defense, which is very headache because they I don't know if this retreat is a signal for Manchester City to launch an offensive. Of course, it also requires the tacit cooperation of several Manchester City players.
Several players in Manchester City's midfield are likely to create opportunities for Abelka.
Morris and David Silva are both good passers. They have excellent footwork and consciousness. They will pass the ball at the most suitable time. If Chelsea's back line reacts But come on, then Anelka may get a great opportunity.
So now in the whole game, Chelsea's back line is the most stressed, they are undergoing the most difficult test.
If he is a young striker, he may have been beaten offside again and again, but Anelka is different. He is a genius. Despite some personality problems, his ability is recognized by everyone, even if he has been offside. Times, but Anelka is still energetic, and he even occasionally withdraws from the 'chase' down the Chelsea back line. You know, this back line is led by Terry and Carvalho, few forwards dare to do so , But Anelka didn't care at all, which also made Terry wait for several people to gritt their teeth.
At the same time, Anelka also pays close attention to the movements of his teammates.
He knew that both Morris and the young David Silva were trusted teammates. When football was at the feet of these two men, it was possible to pass them directly. That would be his chance and It was the moment of his performance.
Anelka likes this feeling because of the focus of his two teams and the protagonist of the game.
...
Manchester City launched a wave of offense, Joey Barton kicked the ball to Morris, Morris glanced forward, Chelsea's back line immediately tense.
Morris then passed the ball to the side and handed it to Downing.
Downing ran a few steps with the ball. When Barack greeted him, he passed it to David Silva, and then he ran forward again. David Silva took a step forward and then did There was a push motion, and at this moment, he changed to kick, kicked his foot in the defense of the football, and made a secret gesture towards the front.
Anelka received the signal and rushed forward immediately.
Chelsea's back line didn't react at all, because David Silva was still in the center line when he passed the ball, which was a bit too far away, which was also a long pass.
Anelka succeeded in countering offside and went straight to the front.
"Danger!" The Chelsea people realized.
Manchester City fans are cheering excitedly, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity!
But this time the opportunity was actually not that good. Although the anti-offside was successful, David Silva ’s long pass wanted to stop. It was not easy for Anelka to run forward while trying to judge the fall of the football. Point, Terry also followed when he ran to the ball against the ball.
At this time Anelka showed superb technology.
He squeezed Terry and ran, and he extended his heel and unloaded the ball. The football rolled forward in conformity, and Anelka rushed forward!
"Anelka! Great opportunity!"
Sky TV commentator George Woodgate yelled out ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It's a pity that the difficulty of this ball is too high, Anelka still tried his best to stop, Chelsea goalkeeper Cech was very timely, He first held the ball in his arms, and Anelka rushed past and nearly collided with Cech.
"call......"
Chelsea fans were relieved.
The Chelsea players on the field also took a long breath. Just now this ball is too dangerous. Even if Anelka's strength is a little smaller, he will be able to chase the ball first. What will happen then, they will It is already imaginable.
Fortunately, the goal is not scored, the score is still 0: 1, they still have a chance.
Wan Sheng sat on the coach's seat, but it was a pity that he didn't score a goal, but when he saw this ball, he felt more relaxed. Then the pressure came to the Chelsea side. The thing to worry about was they, and Manchester City led by a ball, it was nothing. Worrying. (To be continued.)
