Football’s First Defender

After the match against Aston Villa, the Chelsea team shifted their focus to the upcoming Champions League knockout round!

Chelsea, the second place in Group A, won the first "Old Lady" Juventus in Group H in the draw!

Due to the influence of Calcio Gate in the previous seasons, although Juventus successfully returned to Serie A after being relegated by relying on their background, and still maintained the demeanor of a wealthy family, they have been suppressed by Inter Milan in the league in the past few years!

Serie A has been in a stage where the major giants take turns taking turns in recent years after experiencing the glorious era of the Little World Cup. Everyone is the kind of centuries-old giants with historical background. Feel!

Feng Shui turns around, come to my house this year! Just like Juventus, behind the phone gate, they have been dormant honestly, licking the wounds left by the players who left during the turmoil! Accumulate strength, train young players, wait for this Inter Milan team to pass its peak period, and then look for opportunities to regain everything that belongs to you!

For Chelsea, the Premier League powerhouses are at their absolute peak. Even if the opponent is Juventus, who overwhelmed Juventus in the Champions League and became the number one in the group, Chelsea is still confident that their strength will definitely have the upper hand!

However, self-confidence is a good thing, but it is not good to underestimate the enemy!

For Hiddink, he got off to a good start in the league when he took office. Now that he has come to the UEFA Champions League, which Abramovich values ​​most, his "firefighting" coach can't lose the chain in the first UEFA Champions League match!

Against the Italian team, the kind of chain defense learned from the mother's womb, although Chelsea must strengthen their offense at home, and strive to win the home game!

But in the process of pursuing offense, we still have to be careful of the opponent's counterattack. After all, if the Italian team takes a big lead in the two rounds of the game, then under the tenacious defense of the Italians, it is really impossible. Definitely, it will make you come back easily!

Due to Malouda's injury, he still hasn't recovered! Hiddink, who has no wide players available, dare not continue to use the 433 offensive formation in this game!

Although Yang Feng is guarding the defense, giving the Serie A giants such a large counterattack loophole, as long as they are caught once, Chelsea may fall into a situation of eternal doom!

In this Champions League game, Kalu was put on the bench this time! He was replaced by Joe Cole, who did not get a chance to play in the last league game!

Joe Cole has been plagued by injuries this season, but in the limited playing time, Joe Cole's performance is quite satisfactory!

And although he is currently playing the position of an offensive midfielder, he has also played as a winger before!

Compared with Deco, who can't guarantee physical fitness in a double match a week, Joe Cole not only has abundant physical fitness, but the key is to be able to ensure the team's changes on the offensive end!

With Lampard behind him helping to organize the offense, Ballack and Mikel intercepting the opponent and taking charge of the defense, Hiddink hopes that this 442 formation can produce better chemistry on the offensive end when there is enough defense Reaction, for the team to win at home!

Yang Feng and Terry are still partnered with a central defender. They will face the impact of Juventus striker Amauli and veteran Del Piero!

Because Trezeguet has been plagued by injuries this season and rarely played, Yang Feng just missed the opportunity to compete with his favorite French star!

After the start of the game, both the host and the guest are in a 442 formation, and the needle is against the wheat!

It's just that Chelsea's first leg was played at Stamford Bridge at home, so the player's position was more inclined to attack, while Juventus, who played away, only planned to hold a draw and go back to Italy for another showdown! So more inclined to defense!

It's just that Juventus' iron-blooded defense is not so indestructible in the face of Chelsea, which is extremely capable of attacking fortifications!

The striker combination composed of Drogba and Anelka is good at grasping all the opportunities that arise. Drogba can always rely on his strong body to grab header opportunities in the top fight, posing a great threat to Juventus goalkeeper Buffon!

In the midfield position, Joe Cole rarely got the opportunity to start, and he was extremely active, running around on the pitch, connecting teams. Hiddink completely made him a free man, allowing him to play freely, disrupting Juventus line of defense!

And Ballack and Lampard's long-range shooting ability is also extremely good. In the process of breaking through dense defenses, long-range shooting is always the most direct, simplest, and most effective way!

During the game, the two kept using long shots to try to break Buffon's goal for the team!

It's just a pity that Buffon, as a world-class goalkeeper, performed extremely well in this game! Didn't give the home team too many chances!

In the first half, after a goalless draw between the two sides, in the second half, Chelsea, after continuing to try many long-range shots to no avail, could only start to let Joe Cole transform into a winger, and then paired with the two full-backs who came up with assists, England's best start. Traditional wing cross play!

Fortunately, the team has Drogba in the penalty area, the toughest striker in the world!

Under the constant pressure, Chelsea naturally has a lot of corner kick opportunities!

Finally, in the 78th minute of the game, due to the previous corner kick tactics, both Yang Feng and Terry also threatened Juventus' goal. After sharing most of the defensive attention for Drogba, this was the focus from the beginning. The man-marked striker finally got a little loose room to move!

And Drogba, also a fatal blow, seized the time when Juventus' defense weakened, directly used the corner kick tactics, resisted the defensive player from taking off in the area, and shook his head to attack the goal!

The position of the header is extremely tricky. Even if Buffon, who is in the middle of the goal, reacts, he doesn't have enough time to fly to block the header!

In this way, with Drogba's header, Chelsea ended the first leg at Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 lead!

In the second round, they will go to Italy to face the crazy counterattack of the ferocious Juventus at home!

As for Chelsea's defensive end! Due to the control and defensive ability of Chelsea's midfielder, and Juventus has always maintained a defensive position, in this game, the striker composed of Amaury and Del Piero did not receive much support from teammates, so it also No chance to pose a big threat to Chelsea!

Yang Feng even directly destroyed Juventus' few rare counterattack opportunities, so that Juventus had very few counterattacks in the game, and could only rely on a few rare opportunities to advance and hit a few long shots from the outside , Let's increase the shooting data!

Yang Feng's first UEFA Champions League game was completed with his fairly normal performance, not as magnificent and brilliant as imagined!

However, the victory in this game, for Yang Feng, can be regarded as revenge for his old club Zenit!

In the group stage, Zenit was assigned to Group H, but was firmly suppressed by the two giants of Real Madrid and Juventus. In the end, they were only third in the group!

After defeating Juventus and one step closer to promotion, Chelsea will continue to sit at home in the league three days later to meet seventh-ranked Wigan Athletic!

Unlike the previous opponents Villa, who have a strong offensive power at home, Wigan Athletic, who also performed well this season, has achieved good results because of their strong defensive ability!

In the last 10 Premier League games, Wigan Athletic's defense only conceded 4 goals, which is the most stable defense in the Premier League!

Of course, such an excellent defense comes at the expense of the team's offense!

Three consecutive 0-0 games proved that although this Wigan Athletic team has a solid defense, its offensive level is really not above the standard!

Facing such a defensively strong and weakly attacking team, Chelsea, who sit at Stamford Bridge, of course must prioritize offense, pursue goals, and strive to win the game!

Continuing to use the 433 formation in the last league game, Hiddink faced this situation that required offense, and he used a rough three forwards to increase the team's offensive firepower!

And Yang Feng went to watch the opponent's regular starting lineup, and there was really no familiar player!

A real civilian team!

As for the opponent's striker that he needs to guard against, the Egyptian Zaki, Yang Feng is sure that he will not play well in later generations!

Yang Feng remembered that when he started watching the Premier League a few years later in his previous life, he seemed to have never survived such a person! It should be to play football in other countries, or to play in low-level leagues!

At home, Chelsea launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up!

Wigan Athletic is in a 451 formation, with all members retreating to the half-court defense, and because of the previous example of Aston Villa, Wigan Athletic's coach has already made plans for Chelsea's possible three-forward formation. Enough ready!

Since Drogba and Anelka are stars with outstanding personal abilities, instead of consuming too many personnel and restricting them, which may not be able to restrain them, it is better to simply cut off their sources of balls !

Wigan Athletic used two central defenders to mark Anelka and Drogba respectively, but launched a frenzied press in the midfield and the wing, ran at all costs, and continued physical confrontation to limit Other Chelsea players, feed the ball up front!

As for Kalou, who is the most low-key among the three forwards, Wigan players also sent the fastest midfielder to defend him closely. Wigan Athletic does not want to make the mistake of Aston Villa. For Chelsea players, everyone they There is enough attention!

Wigan Athletic's comprehensive defense made Chelsea occupy an absolute advantage in the game at home from the very beginning, but actually created very few good opportunities!

Especially Drogba, because he played really awkwardly in the opening stage, he couldn't get the pass from his teammates in the penalty area, and the ball couldn't touch it. After a rare reception of a football, but the opponent's central defender destroyed it, I was in a bad mood. When I counterattacked on the spot, I made a big move and got a yellow card directly!

And after a full 30 minutes of attacking, Chelsea tried all the offensive methods. Lampard and Ballack both shot a few long shots, but they didn't work well. In the end, Chelsea could only rely on set kicks. Come break the deadlock!

During an opponent's defense, facing Bosingwa's breakthrough, he lost a foul on the right side, and Chelsea got a free kick in a good position!

Although the angle of hitting the goal directly is not enough, it is indeed an extremely suitable position for crossing!

Lampard took the free kick without hesitation, took a huge arc, and accurately found Terry who was charging forward!

Because of Drogba, Anelka and even Yang Feng rushed to the forward position and played an excellent screen for Terry in the latter position, attracting a large number of defensive players and other defensive players' attention !

Lampard's free kick was also extremely well controlled, and it was sent to the rear point accurately according to the tactics!

Terry passed the run-up, and under the action of inertia, he flew out directly, almost diving to the top, and headed the ball into the goal!

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Chelsea took a 1-0 lead with a header from a free kick by the central defender and captain John Terry!

Although Wigan Athletic was behind in the score, just when the Chelsea players were planning to wait for Wigan Athletic to attack, they took advantage of the situation and scored another goal, but Wigan Athletic continued to maintain their defensive position. And panic or rush to attack!

Still sticking to their own defense, there is no plan to attack, and the first half of the game also ended in this slightly boring offensive and defensive battle. Chelsea only led by one goal in the half!

For Wigan Athletic, falling behind by one goal is definitely easier to recover than falling behind by two goals!

The continuation of defense in the final stage of the first half is the tactic they will continue to complete after falling behind!

This kind of civilian team has achieved a strict level of execution of game tactics. They believe that their coach will make the most suitable tactical changes for them during the halftime break!

In the second half, while Wigan Athletic continued to ensure its own defense, it focused on strengthening the penetration of the opposite side of Chelsea!

The Wigan Athletic coaching staff, who studied Yang Feng's game video, strictly restricted their own players and used long passes to find wide players. Instead, they used short passes and ground passes to attack Chelsea's wide open space. !

In this game, Yang Feng, because most of the opponent's offense and passing passed around him, he rarely had a chance to show his level!

However, in the face of the excellent defensive ability of Chelsea's midfielder, the offense of the visiting team Wigan Athletic is also extremely tangled. Most of the offense relies on the players' long-range shots to complete the end, and strives to get the ball as much as possible. Chance!

When an ordinary team faces a rich team, set kicks are definitely the easiest way to score!

Both teams performed extremely well on the defensive end in the second half, and the game was very anxious, but Chelsea's 1-0 lead determined that they could continue to score 3 points at home!

It's just that the players of the visiting team don't want to miss the opportunity to prove themselves in front of the giants!

And Yang Feng, in a real sense, suffered a blow from the Premier League professional league. This is the most competitive Premier League, and Yang Feng is far from reaching the best level!
