Chapter 154: The fragrance of pear blossoms, the next time you listen to it, you are already in the song [Hazard, happy retirement! 】
Although it is good for making soup, it cannot be used more often.
Otherwise, if others are prepared in advance, even if they are as fast as Mbappe, they may be knocked down directly by their opponents at the moment of speed.
So, the most reasonable way to use it is to make soup when your opponents think you are going to pass the ball!
When the opponent thinks you are passing the ball, you are making a fool of yourself;
When I thought you were outshining others, I chose to pass the ball again.
Hey, just so that you can’t guess what I’m going to do next.
Making reasonable and correct judgments based on the situation on the court is the ability that a top player must possess!
You know, football is not only played with your feet, but also with your brain.
Holding the ball and looking around, Courtois threw the ball to the right back Yi Vanovich.
Facing Lingard's pressing, he passed the ball directly to Cesc Fabregas who retreated into the midfield to connect.
Fabregas looked up and observed, then made a long diagonal pass to the left wing.
I saw Hazard unloading the ball with his instep while running, and stopped the ball firmly in front of him, and then began to advance with the ball.
After the baptism of the World Cup in Brazil, Hazard, who returned to Chelsea, replaced the number 17 who had just arrived and put on the core number 10 jersey.
At this point, a beautiful memory treasured by Blues fans, and Hazard’s journey to become a Blue Bridge king, begins
The one who defends the scoring champion is his Belgian compatriot De Wright.
The last time the two faced off was in the fourth round of the FA Cup in February.
Due to Mourinho's strategic abandonment, Hazard only played half the game.
Even so, De Wright failed to limit Hazard's sharp breakthrough, allowing the opponent to enter the penalty area and create the first penalty kick.
But this time, he looked serious and stood ready, staring at Hazard's right foot, trying to find the flaw in the opponent's foot.
However, Hazard soon made him realize the huge gap between top stars and ordinary players!
With his feet skillfully pushing the ball forward, Hazard suddenly swayed to the left, seemingly about to start.
De Wright immediately took a step to the right, intending to block his outside breakthrough.
However, he did not expect that this was just a fake move!
With a simple move from left to right, Hazard cut in from his left side and reached the penalty area.
Seeing Hazard swinging his right leg, he was about to take a shot.
De Wright was shocked and quickly stretched out his foot, trying to block Hazard's shooting angle.
However, in the blink of an eye, Azar made a fake shot and a real dunk!
With a buckle of his right foot and a push from the inside of his left foot, De Wright passed over like a wooden stake!
“Exceptionally beautiful!”
"Hazard!!!"
Facing Schmeichel who came to the near corner, Hazard did not hesitate and shot directly with his left foot!
With a bang, the ball shot out was touched by Schmeichel and flew straight to the far corner of the goal.
Then, with a "dang", it hit the far post and bounced out!
The penalty area suddenly fell into chaos.
Costa pushed away Moore beside him and wanted to take a supplementary shot, but left back Schlupp immediately cleared the ball out of the sideline.
Seeing this, Hazard was not too upset, but turned around with a calm expression and gave Fabregas his first thumbs up of the game.
This smooth pass and goal attack fully demonstrated Hazard's personal ability.
The Blues fans at the scene also gave warm applause to the performance of this Blues darling.
"The Blues No. 10 was in good form today and immediately responded to the provocation of the Blue Fox No. 7. The last time the two teams met, it was Hazard's breakthrough that resulted in a penalty kick that allowed Chelsea to take the lead. Get ahead.”
Oscar ran to the corner flag area and took a corner kick.
Although Blues captain Terry grabbed the first goal and completed the header.
However, the top position of the ball was not grasped well, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, which caused the fans at the scene to lament.
When Schmeichel placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area and prepared to kick off, both Pearson in the stands and the Leicester City players on the field were surprised to find, Chelsea's lineup is very high.
Obviously, Chelsea adopted the same high-pressure tactics as them in this game!
Looking at Mourinho standing on the sidelines, Pearson in the stands had a serious expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
This Portuguese is indeed one of the best coaches in football!
In just one game, I saw their tactics and adopted effective responses.
Don't look at the fierce offensive firepower of Leicester City's frontcourt, scoring four goals in a single game.
But the ball production and defense in the backcourt are their weaknesses that are covered up by their sharp offense!
Moreover, they are not like Everton and Chelsea, who have a big center at the front, so they can rest assured in the backcourt.
Under the active pressing of Costa, Oscar, Hazard and Schurrle in the frontcourt, it was very difficult for Leicester City to play the ball in the backcourt.
The center back and full back fell down and finally returned to the goalkeeper's feet.
When being surrounded and robbed like this, the experienced Cambiaso did something that Marty James didn't dare to do.
I saw him actively retreating to catch the ball, and then there was an extra point in the backcourt, and he was able to pick the ball out.
After catching the ball and turning around, Cambiaso looked up and quickly observed the position of his teammates in front of him before he was surrounded.
Seeing Ling Feng followed by Oscar and Matic, he chose a long diagonal pass to find Mahrez on the right.
Of the four in the frontcourt, Mahrez is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of ability to attack or advance with the ball.
Therefore, when Ling Feng is focused on being marked, the midfielder and backfield players will hand the ball to Mahrez.
And this is Leicester City’s frontcourt duo!
Facing Cambiaso's diagonal long pass, Mahrez lightly stopped with the outside instep of his left foot, followed the trend, and began to dribble the ball along the wing.
The person guarding him is Azpilicueta, who replaced Ashley Cole and became the Blues' starting left back!
Keeping an eye on Mahrez's movements, Azpilicueta did not make a hasty move, but fought and retreated.
At the same time, Hazard also returned to defense, planning to attack from both front and back.
However, as if he felt someone behind him, Mahrez made a smart cow tail with his left foot and cut inside!
Azpilicueta was startled, but he immediately followed up and still followed closely.
Seeing that the Blues defender was more difficult to deal with than Ashley Cole, Mahrez had no choice but to pass the ball to Ling Feng in the middle, and then he hit the wall and cooperated with him. Outside the restricted area.
Facing Cahill who rushed up like a tiger out of the mountain, he was a little afraid to touch him, and immediately poked forward with his toes.
The ball rolled right past Cahill's feet and came to the feet of Vardy, who started early.
The latter didn't stop the ball, turned half-turn and fired a volley!
And the moment he took off, Terry in the penalty area stepped across and stretched out his long legs to block, just in time to block the shot of Blue Fox No. 9 aimed at the far corner!
There was only a "bang" sound, the ball refracted and flew out of the baseline.
The next second, Terry, who successfully defended, stood up. While high-fiving Cahill, he did not forget to applaud to encourage his teammates:
“COMEON!”
"Cheer up!" "Nemanja (Matic), you should foul Ling on this ball!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng, who was standing next to Matic, couldn't help but reveal a black question mark on his face:
"Hey! Brother John, I'm still here!"< br>
Hearing this, Terry also smiled and waved to him: "Man, you know, this is not a personal grudge."
After curling his lips, Ling Feng trotted over. It's time to take a corner kick in the corner flag area.
Looking at Hazard who was eager to take action in the frontcourt, Ling Feng raised his hand to signal the two central defenders Morgan and Moore not to come up, and then took a tactical corner kick and handed the ball to Mahrez.
The latter glanced up at the penalty area, made a pass and made Azpilicueta jump, then knocked with his heel.
The ball rolled to the feet of Ling Feng behind him, and Ling Feng passed the ball directly without stopping!
There was only a "bang" sound, and a cross with a graceful arc flew sideways into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area, just bypassing Cahill at the front point.
However, this curved cross was somewhat elusive after it bounced off the ground.
Vardy, who happened to be between the two central defenders, just rubbed the ball with his calf.
The ball broke slightly, but it hit the chest of Courtois who was very close.
The Belgian national goalkeeper reacted quickly, immediately hugged the ball and fell to the ground.
Within the first twenty-five minutes, the two sides launched a fierce attack without reservation.
Both sides had their own offense and defense, providing fans with a wonderful offensive and defensive battle.
And this kind of confrontational battle is a joy to see for both sides.
Because, whether it is Chelsea with Cesc Fabregas or Leicester City with Ling Feng, they can pass a fatal threat at the moment of transition between offense and defense!
As for the threatening ball, it depends on which of the two finishers is in better condition today.
However, compared to Costa, who likes to fight hand-to-hand with defenders, Vardy played very frustratingly.
Because, in front of Terry and Cahill, the best central defender partnership in the Premier League today, he has no chance at all!
Terry was able to clear all the high-altitude balls immediately;
And Cahill filled in for him, preventing anyone from kicking in the penalty area.
This pair of Blues central defenders are calm yet calm, experienced and have a tacit understanding.
In addition to being able to rely on his own speed to grab one or two shooting opportunities, and running into spaces to create space for his teammates, Vardy has only touched the ball seven times from the start to the present!
Two of them were shots!
One can imagine how jailed he was in this game
However, Vardy is not the kind of forward who can't sleep without scoring.
He knows very well that scoring goals is the mission of a forward.
However, it is the responsibility of a professional player to help the team win!
If he doesn't score a goal, but can help other teammates score goals and help the team win the game, he is also very willing to accept it.
Of course, it would be best to not only score goals but also win the game.
But things are not always so best of both worlds.
. .
“The game has been going on for thirty minutes, and the score between the two sides is still zero to zero. Who can act as the hero of this game and take the lead in helping his team break the deadlock?”
"The number of shots taken by both sides was six and four respectively. The Blues at home had a slight advantage."
"But the goalkeepers on both sides played bravely today."
After defeating Everton at home in the last game, the newly promoted team actually had a back-and-forth match with this season's favorite Chelsea at Stamford Bridge? !
Such a picture surprised many fans and football experts who were sitting in front of the TV to watch the game.
There is something wrong with this newly promoted horse!
In the first round, except for Leicester City, the three newly promoted teams, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers all lost without surprise.
Could it be said that Leicester City came to Stamford Bridge as a guest and planned to do something?
However, the future king of Lanqiao would not agree!
In football matches, when it is impossible to penetrate the opponent's defense through sports warfare, there are several methods you can try:
One is long-range shooting!
The second is the set piece! !
The third is personal ability! ! !
And Chelsea chose the third method.
In the 40th minute of the game, midfielder Fabregas took the ball, turned around, and passed the ball to Hazard on the left again.
This is one of Chelsea's regular offensive routines, and the name is - give the ball to Hazard!
Next, they witnessed a wonderful individual performance by a top player:
I saw Hazard dribbling the ball along the left side and advancing all the way.
Cambiaso in the midfield also returned to defend and assisted with defense together with De Wright.
However, faced with the help of the two men, Hazard didn't care at all. He started to break through as if there was wind under his feet.
Like a warrior who resolutely goes forward in the face of thousands of troops, rush to the most dangerous place!
Just when everyone thought he would be double-teamed by two people and lose the ball at his feet, Hazard just used a simple fried ball to get the ball from Cambiaso and De Wright. Break out of the encirclement and enter the restricted area!
"Exceptionally beautiful!"
"Hazard is in!"
Facing Morgan, who was as tall and strong as a black tower from the top, he just paused for a moment and hit him. With a change of pace, Morgan was tricked into making a blocking move in advance.
In a flash of lightning, he gently pushed the ball outward with the outside instep of his right foot, took a step laterally, and immediately gained room to kick.
Without any hesitation, he swung his leg and shot low!
The leg swing is very small, but the ball is very fast.
Close to the turf, flew past the underarms of Schmeichel, who was unable to reach the ground, and got into the lower right corner of the goal.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of Blues fans Below, the ball hit the white net and caused ripples!
With a bang, Lanqiao let out deafening cheers!
“The ball is in!”
“GOAL~~~GOAL~~~GOAL~~”
“Absolutely wonderful!”
“The goal was scored by Eden~~~”
The next second, with the DJ at the stadium playing a long tail tone, all the Blues fans shouted out the man's last name in unison:
"Hazard!!!"
Witnessing Hazard's casual walk through the door, Ling Feng couldn't help but play a BGM in his mind:
"Pear Blossom Fragrance"
"Tangled around the corners of clothes" Passing through the hustle and bustle"
"Coming back into the deep tent with red curtains"
