Chapter 70 World Wave!
With the introduction of Good Johnson, Chelsea's lineup looks like 442, but in fact it is more like 424.
Robben, Drogba, Good Johnson and Duff are almost all at the front of the striker.
They were like four sharp knives, firmly holding against the Chinese defense line in Bayswater.
It makes them look fierce.
But Yang Cheng felt more at ease.
Because this means that Mourinho can no longer come up with better offensive methods.
With no other choice, the madman can only choose to explode the troops.
Robben and Duff press forward, and Gallas and Ferreira, as full-backs, must also press forward.
But the situation is different.
Robben was closely guarded by Piszczek, mostly on the wing.
So, Galas’ position is relatively not that far forward.
And the French defenders are not very good at attacking forward.
Duff plays as a right winger with his left foot, so his position is closer to the center.
This creates more offensive space for Ferreira.
The Portuguese can't move forward unless he wants to free up the entire wing.
But in this case, problems arise.
Only Lampard and Makelele are left in the middle of the midfield.
The Chelsea midfielder, who was not good at passing and organizing, suddenly became more difficult.
Makelele is mainly responsible for defense, organization and passing are not his strengths.
Therefore, the passing, organization and connection of the entire midfield all fell to Lampard.
If the four players in front are compared to four sharp knives against the Bayswater Chinese, then Lampard is the knife holder.
But everyone knows that what Lampard is best at is forward attack.
When Chelsea adjusted their tactics and style of play, the momentum was very loud, but the style of play remained unchanged.
Quick counterattack from the wing, long pass to Drogba.
Once these two moves don't work and it falls into a positional battle, Lampard himself frequently dribbles the ball forward.
This again makes the center of the frontcourt too crowded.
If it were a team with delicate skills and good at small-scale passing and cutting cooperation, this would not be a big problem.
But none of Chelsea's players have this ability.
In the frontcourt, especially when attacking and defending in the 30-meter area, no one from Chelsea could pass the threatening ball.
In the 64th minute, Lampard dribbled the ball forward and tried to pass the ball to Good Johnson's feet.
The ball was intercepted by Huddlestone midway.
After intercepting the ball, Huddlestone quickly kicked the ball forward.
In the outer center of his own 30-meter area, Ribery was already ready. He cleverly grabbed the ball before Makelele and stopped the ball directly to Modric behind him.
Then, Ribery turned and sprinted quickly to the left.
At this time, Ferreira had just reacted and immediately started to pursue.
Modric and Ribery have worked together for a long time and have already developed a tacit understanding, leading forward along the middle.
Makelele was devastated.
He turned his back to his own goal, Ribery ran to his right, and Modric dribbled the ball to his left.
Moreover, the two of them kept a certain distance.
what to do?
Makelele chose Modric without hesitation and quickly pounced on him.
Experienced French people know very well that at this time, hesitation will lead to a worse death.
When he landed in League Two in 2003, Modric was very stick to the ball.
But after nearly 2 years of training, he has adapted to the rhythm of English football.
And he's always improving.
When he saw Makelele rushing towards him, he wanted to further open the French midfielder for Ribery.
Makelele is very fast.
When Modric dribbled the ball to the bottom of the center circle in his own half, Lambert in front also ran to near the center line.
The smart Englishman will always put himself in a position where Modric can pass the ball based on Makelele's movement.
This is the biggest difference between him and Kitson!
Modric is very skilled. He did not pass the ball immediately, but deliberately waited until Makelele was close before he passed the ball in front to Lambert.
"Frank!"
When Modric passed the ball, he shouted and sprinted forward.
Makelele was afraid that Lambert and Modric would make a one-on-one match, so he immediately chased after Modric.
Lambert leaned against Terry, stopped the ball, turned to the left, and passed the ball diagonally.
The ball went straight to the left rib of the frontcourt, right on Ribery's sprint line.
Carvalho, who was trailing behind Chelsea's defense, also ran over to intercept the ball immediately.
Ribery caught up with Lambert's pass on the left side of Chelsea's 30-meter zone.
I saw him first gently move the outer instep of his right foot inward, as if he was about to cut inside.
This immediately caused Carvalho to shift his center of gravity.
But Ribery is not only fast in sprinting, he also moves his feet very quickly and is very flexible.
After he deceived Carvalho, he suddenly changed direction and went outside.
The whole set of actions was very smooth, happening at the moment when Ribery received the ball, leaving Carvalho no time to react at all.
The Portuguese defender only felt that he was about to be penetrated from the outside by Ribery.
Behind you is the restricted area.
In a hurry, Carvalho knew that he could not stop Ribery.
He could only choose to foul.
Carvalho should be grateful to Gallas for returning to defense in time. Otherwise, he would be the last defender.
At the moment of his foul, Gallas followed Alan Lennon and just returned to a position slightly behind him.
The referee blew the whistle, awarded a free kick, and gave Carvalho a yellow card.
“The Bayswater Chinese counterattack was very threatening.”
“Ribery relied on his own personal ability to earn money from Carvalho in the frontcourt. A free kick came. "
"This is the Bayswater Chinese's fourth frontcourt free kick tonight. The previous free kicks failed to pose a threat. Let's take a look at this. How do they plan to attack once?"
......
Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines.
Gianni Vio walked out of the coaching bench again, walked to the sidelines to signal to the players, and called for them to respond.
Chelsea's defense is really good.
The defense line composed of Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry and Gallas, plus Makelele in front, is really very strong.
If Yang Cheng really wanted to attack with force, he didn't have a good solution.
Free kicks are an offensive routine that he attaches great importance to before the game.
I saw Ribery and Huddlestone standing at the service point respectively. Lambert, Jose Fonte, Skrtel and other tall players all rushed into Chelsea's penalty area.
Modric is in front of Huddlestone, as if preparing to respond.
With the referee's whistle.
As the player with the best footwork among the Bayswater Chinese, Ribery quickly ran forward.
Players from both teams in the penalty area also pressed forward.
Especially the Chelsea players, they followed several tall players from the Bayswater Chinese, for fear of accidentally missing someone.
But no one expected that Ribery did not throw the ball away, but passed the ball to Modric on the outside of the penalty area.
The Croatian turned his back to the direction of the attack, then gently stopped the ball laterally, and then ran away quickly.
Since Modric had his back, Makelele did not notice the movement of the ball and instinctively followed Modric and ran away laterally.
When he realized that Modric didn't have the ball at his feet, he was immediately shocked.
But at this time, Huddlestone, who was like an iron tower, had already run forward quickly. He devoted all his strength to his right foot and pulled out a kick.
The only thing heard at the scene was the muffled sound of a football that was about to explode.
I didn’t even see how the ball was kicked out, I saw it had hit the net on the right side of the Chelsea goal.
"My God!!"
"World wave!!!"
"What a wonderful free kick combination!!!"
"From England itself Tom Huddlestone!”
“This 18-year-old midfielder scored Chelsea’s goal with a shocking long-range shot!”
"1 to 0!"
"The Bayswater Chinese took the lead!!"
"This is really incredible, we couldn't believe our eyes."
“This shot was so beautiful, it was a real wave in the world!”
On the sidelines of the court, Yang Cheng had been praying silently in his heart, hoping that this free kick would work. .
When Huddlestone scored with a long-range shot, he completely lost control.
With a cheer, Yang Cheng quickly rushed out of the coaching area and rushed towards his players from in front of Mourinho.
At this moment, the Portuguese madman was roaring madly.
He really didn’t expect that the Bayswater Chinese would be so tenacious.
The key is that this team's defense is really good!
Before the game, he had already calculated that the Bayswater Chinese's free kick attack was very threatening.
So, he repeatedly told players to reduce fouls within 30 meters.
Unexpectedly, it is still a hundred close and one sparse.
Can he blame Carvalho?
If there was no foul at the time, Ribery would have done it alone!
When Mourinho thought of this, he saw Yang Cheng whizzing past him and cursed in his heart.
What the hell, shameless!
Playing so conservatively, what is there to celebrate?
The indignant Mourinho immediately turned around and signaled Joe Cole to warm up quickly.
He wants to make a substitution.
...
In the 65th minute, one minute after Huddlestone scored the lead, Mourinho replaced Duff with Joe Cole.
He was not satisfied with Duff.
The main reason is that Duff and Robben have similar positions and characteristics.
Both are speedy wingers.
But in terms of ability, Duff is not as good as Robben.
After switching to the right, Duff's threat was greatly reduced.
Mourinho then focused on Ribery.
Ribery is also very fast, but has very fine skills with his feet, which complements Robben very well.
Like a beefed-up version of Joe Cole.
Mourinho now replaces Joe Cole, hoping to use the English's skills and passing to tear open the Bayswater Chinese defense.
But Yang Cheng also immediately made substitution adjustments.
Gerhan Inle replaces Alan Lennon.
In this game, Lennon's performance against Gallas was actually quite average.
Coupled with Chelsea's intention to suppress Huddlestone and Modric, the Bayswater Chinese's long-pass advantage was unable to be used.
There is no point in keeping Lennon.
After the substitutions, Inler, Huddlestone and Lars Diarra formed the three midfielders.
Ribery and Modric appeared behind Lambert.
It is still defensive counterattack, but the defensive level has been further improved.
More importantly, Inle is the player with the best long-range shooting ability in the Bayswater Chinese team.
Huddlestone can only be ranked second, but that position just now is the area where his long-range shots are most accurate.
After Yang Cheng stabilized his position with substitutions, Mourinho could not sit still in the 74th minute.
Kezman replaced Gallas.
As a result, Chelsea's formation became 325, with five attackers in front.
Absolutely crazy!
Yang Cheng also made an adjustment immediately, and Ribery went to the right side.
Just 3 minutes later, Ribery broke through with the ball from the right and passed the ball from the right side of the penalty area.
Lambert and Carvalho compete for the top spot.
The ball was pushed back to the penalty spot.
Gerhan Yinler followed up with a volley.
At the critical moment, Cech leaped out like a god and saved the ball from the baseline.
The Czech goalkeeper is still the Czech goalkeeper!
Maybe he didn't have a good chance to perform throughout the game, but at the critical moment, he still played a role.
As for Huddlestone’s long-range shot just now, it was so sudden!
Mourinho was so angry that his tooth ached on the sidelines.
He found that every adjustment and change of moves he made was restrained by Yang Cheng.
And the Bayswater Chinese also used Chelsea's adjustments to attack Chelsea.
"Is this bastard really only 24 years old?"
Mourinho seriously doubted that he was definitely lying about his age!
If nothing else, he only experienced this ability from the world's top coaches such as Ferguson.
How can a 24-year-old boy be so virtuous and capable?
At this moment, the Chelsea fans in the stands could no longer sit still.
They came all the way from London to Cardiff to watch the game, hoping to see the team win the championship again after so many years.
As a strong team in the Premier League, the last time Chelsea won the championship was the FA Cup in the 1999/00 season.
League Cup champion?
That dates back to the 1997/98 season.
But now, they discovered in panic that the championship trophy they thought they had a chance to win seemed to be falling by the wayside.
