Chapter 155 Ling Style Arc VS Fako Connection [Six thousand words chapter]
Hazard's low shot passed three people and scored, which is a reflection of his personal ability!
Cambiaso, De Wright, and Morgan, who had been passed over, looked at each other, speechless.
Schmeichel, who was scored, did not complain to his teammates or show his hands. He just turned around and walked to the goal with a helpless face, picked up the water bottle and drank two sips of water.
He knew very well that their defense had tried their best to prevent this from happening.
Whether it was Cambiaso and De Wright's double-teaming or Morgan's side block, there was no problem.
He also made the save immediately.
But the ball still went in.
Nothing else, just because Hazard is too strong.
Looking at Hazard, who was celebrating with his teammates with a calm face, Ling Feng’s expression was calm, and there was a faint feeling in his heart. ripples.
The world keeps spinning, and not only is he growing, but so are his opponents.
He obviously feels that after the baptism of the Brazil World Cup, Hazard has become mature and stronger.
In this era of the Premier League, players who can review the opponent's defense like this.
Perhaps no one else but the London champion in blue!
"As expected of the Blues era's scoring champion"
After Hazard scored, Chelsea suddenly slowed down the offensive pace.
The entire formation also shrank to half court, and they started their best defensive counterattack.
And this scene can't help but give Leicester City coach Pearson and the players on the field a feeling of deja vu.
That’s right!
The last time the two sides met in the FA Cup, Chelsea also adopted this tactic.
First come up and score a fierce attack, then retreat to half court and play defensive counterattack.
It’s just that compared to before, Chelsea’s frontcourt lineup is better now and the defense is more stable.
Even in the little time left in the first half, Leicester City tried their best to launch attacks again and again.
But they still failed to equalize the score before the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Back in the visiting team's dressing room, the Leicester City generals were silently doing themselves things.
Wipe away sweat, massage, and hydrate.
However, a slightly depressed atmosphere quietly lingered throughout the space.
In the first half, they also had good chances to score.
But it’s just a little bit different.
The opponent easily broke through his own goal with just a seemingly ordinary single blast.
Such a strong contrast allowed them to finally feel the strength of the top players in the Premier League!
The reason why the Premier League is fiercely competitive, and the reason why the game is fast-paced and intense is, on the one hand, the football atmosphere and league style in England, and on the other hand, the quality of the Premier League players.
Every player in every team in the entire Premier League can be regarded as the best in world football.
For the twenty teams in the Premier League, there are twenty-five people who can enter the team registration list, which adds up to five hundred people.
The world's football population exceeds 300 million, of which there are about 100,000 professional players, and only 500 of them can play in the Premier League.
It is conceivable that the strength of Premier League players can be regarded as one in ten thousand.
Of course, Premier League players also have levels.
Reservation team for relegation team, starter for relegation team, mid-range rotation, wealthy rotation, wealthy star, superstar, etc.
The Premier League teams are not just ordinary teams, but also have many The star's wealthy family.
The role of a star is to have a flash of inspiration that instantly changes the situation on the court!
When Pearson entered the locker room, he immediately felt the low pressure on the entire team.
He did not criticize the team for conceding a goal in the first half, but applauded and began to encourage:
"Guys, raise your heads!"
< br>"You performed well in the first half. I am satisfied with both your offensive cooperation and the hardness of your defense. The lack of goals was just a matter of luck."
"In the second half, we need to do something Some changes.”
After a pause, he looked at Mahrez first and said:
"Riyad, in the second half, you and Ling switch positions and connect in the middle."
"Ling, you Stay close to the right and defend as far as possible into the midfield. Don't let Fabregas pass the ball to Hazard so easily."
Compared to Mahrez, Ling Feng's defensive ability is much better. few.
And he has excellent prediction and can often accurately intercept the opponent's passing route.
As long as Hazard can be somewhat restricted from getting the ball, Chelsea's wing attack will definitely not be that sharp.
They are not afraid of Chelsea's overall smooth cooperation, but they are afraid that the star will use his super personal ability to unreasonably tear open the entire defense line!
Because there is no way to prevent it!
As for pulling Ling Feng to the right, it will not affect the team's offense too much.
On the contrary, with his current explosiveness and speed, he can crush almost all full-backs in the Premier League on the wing.
Either an inverted triangle pass, or a 45-degree arc pass. Precisely guided passes can create shooting opportunities for teammates!
. . .
After the tactical adjustments in the midfield, players from both sides returned to the court.
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his eyebrows and soon discovered the change in the position change between Ling Feng and Mahrez.
Leicester City's frontcourt offense relies heavily on the performance of the team's core Ling Feng.
This is a secret known throughout English football.
However, what he didn't expect was that Pearson chose to abandon his martial arts, pulled Ling Feng to the wing, and participated more in defensive tasks!
In Mourinho's view, Pearson's purpose is very clear, which is to increase the number of midfielders to limit Hazard.
Sure enough, as Ling Feng returned to the center circle, Hazard was almost surrounded by the triangle composed of Ling Feng, Cambiasso and De Wright.
Whether it is Fabregas, Oscar, or Matic, if you want to pass the ball to Hazard, you have to think twice.
Especially after a diagonal pass was intercepted by Ling Feng, Chelsea's midfield commander Fabregas really reduced the number of passes to Hazard on the left.
Hazard is a typical football king.
However, compared to Messi, who is equally threatening with and without the ball, his running ability without the ball is not even as good as Lingard.
Only when he has the ball, can Hazard fully demonstrate his dribbling, passing and passing skills, and can he display his strong offensive talents.
However, once he does not get the ball, the threat will decrease sharply.
However, facing the situation where Hazard, the core of the team, is limited in the number of times he can get the ball, the Madman is not worried at all because his old god is there.
Because, he had expected this situation to happen!
The newly joined Fabregas and Costa are his solution!
After forcing Chelsea to reduce the number of passes to Hazard, Chelsea changed the direction of their main attack and frequently passed the ball directly to Costa in the middle, or to Schurrle on the right.
Costa, who became famous at Atletico Madrid, has comprehensive skills and is a bulldog-type center.
Both offensively and defensively, he is full of aggression and will even take the initiative to engage in physical confrontation with his opponents.
He is a devil in the eyes of his opponents and an angel in the eyes of his teammates - this is the most appropriate description of his playing style!
In the confrontation with Leicester City defender Morgan, he did not fall behind at all.
After receiving a direct pass from Cesc Fabregas and leaning against Morgan like a wall, Costa immediately passed the ball back to Oscar who was advancing forward.
The latter met the ball with a long shot!
With a bang, the ball turned into a cannonball and shot toward the goal.
Unfortunately, the shot was too direct and was blocked by the focused Schmeichel with both fists, and then Cambiasso immediately made a clearance to the side.
The ball came right to the feet of Lingard on the left.
First his chest paused, then he turned and looked forward.
The next second, he heard a cry from a direction at an angle of 45 degrees:
"Jesse!"
I saw a red figure on the right, cutting forward at high speed!
The black hair blowing in the wind, and the resolute young face
It is Ling Feng who has switched to the right wing!
Without any hesitation, Lingard made a long diagonal pass to the right side of the frontcourt before Ivanovic stepped forward to press!
Facing this long pass, Ling Feng accelerated a second time. Just as the ball was about to hit the ground, he stretched out the instep of his right foot and dumped the ball forward.
Beautiful stop, allowing him to dribble the ball forward.
"Wow! A standard stop!"
"This is Leicester City's counterattack!"
Facing the oncoming left back Azpilic Queta and Ling Feng first slowed down slightly, making the former think that he was preparing to pass the ball. When he relaxed his alertness, he suddenly made soup!
Azpilicueta was caught off guard and only felt the ball fly past his feet.
Then, Ling Feng kicked off his right leg and jumped out!
“Oops, he’s not trying to pass the ball, he’s trying to pass me!”
Azpilicueta knows very well that once Ling Feng passes him, there will be a wide open space behind him. With so much space, he can make a pass from the bottom or cut in and shoot.
Ever since, at the critical moment, Azpilicueta made a quick decision and directly reached out to hug Ling Feng's waist and gave him a hug.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the two fell to the ground together.
The next second, a sharp whistle sounded!
The referee quickly came to the scene of the crime and mercilessly took out a yellow card from his breast pocket and showed it to Azpilicueta.
In this regard, Azpilicueta, who had been prepared for this, had no idea of arguing, but felt that it was worth it.
This is a standard tactical foul.
He just reached out and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, then stood in front of the ball to prevent him from taking a quick free kick.
Ling Feng got up from the ground, adjusted his socks, and then waved to Mahrez who was not far away.
“What’s wrong?”
Faced with Mahrez’s doubts, Ling Feng covered his mouth with his hand and whispered:
"We can play a tactic. Later I will take the penalty kick, I will get behind Azpilicueta, and then pass directly to find the back point."
"No problem!"
< br>Looking at the two people covering their mouths and whispering, the commentator was also a little curious:
“Oh, it seems that Leicester City plans to make good use of this free kick on the right side of the front court.”
“Leicester City’s number one free kicker is probably Ling Feng. However, Mahrez also stood in front of the ball”
"Who will take this free kick?"
Ling Feng stood on the left side of the ball, and Mahrez stood on the right side of the ball.
One of the two has a right foot, the other has a left foot, and the arcs produced by the left and right feet are different.
Looking at this scene, Chelsea captain Terry in the penalty area squeezed his position with Leicester City captain Morgan and shouted loudly:
"Concentrate!" "Start! Be a good person! ”
At the same time, Pearson in the stands also fixed his gaze on the Blue Fox No. 7 standing in front of the ball.
Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Costa in Chelsea are all top players in the Premier League, and they all have the ability to change the situation on the field.
However, Leicester City also has its own top players!
Thinking of this, Pearson looked solemn and murmured involuntarily:
"Kid, let them see how strong you are!"
With the referee's whistle, Ling Feng, standing on the left side of the ball, took the lead!
He rushed towards the ball, pretending to kick the ball, but it was directly from the side of the ball, and then rushed directly towards the left back Azpilicueta!
And just when everyone thought that Ling Feng was just a pretense to attract attention and Mahrez was the real candidate to take the free kick, Mahrez took the free kick directly with his left foot!
However, he did not pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but made an overhead pass and hit the ball behind Azpilicueta!
The moment the ball flew out, both Chelsea and Leicester City players reacted.
However, it is too late!
Ling Feng, who started early, ran straight past Azpilicueta and resolutely pushed forward behind him!
Aspilicueta, who was carrying a yellow card, did not dare to pull Ling Feng when he passed by him.
Because as soon as he gets started, it will definitely be a tactical foul!
You must get a card!
So, he could only turn around and chase after him immediately.
But he was a step too late after all, and Ling Feng got the ball first.
The latter did not hesitate and made a direct pass!
A beautiful arc streaked across the sky above Stamford Bridge.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in the audience, the ball just flew over the head of Terry who jumped up, then suddenly fell and landed in the back area of the goal.
I don’t know when Cambiaso came forward to this position, but he just pushed forward with his shiny bald head.
Courtois failed to make the save, stretched out his long arms, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal from the inside of the goalpost!
The next second, the fans of the away team suddenly burst into cheers!
“Cambiaso!”
"He scored in his first Premier League start!"
"And it was an equalizer!"
In the 60th minute, Leicester City beat Chelsea The home court equalized the score!
After scoring the goal, Cambiaso opened his arms and rushed to Ling Feng with excitement, pointing at the black-haired young man:
"Man, perfect pass. ! ”
As soon as the words fell, the two hugged each other.
Pearson in the stands also high-fived and hugged the old guy next to him.
“That’s it!”
“Well done!”
For them, if they can get a point at Stamford Bridge, they will definitely be very satisfied!
But some people are not satisfied!
After being equalized by Leicester City at home, Mourinho seemed a little angry and subconsciously cursed his mantra:
"Son of a bitch."
After minding his own business and vomiting the fragrance, he immediately waved Hazard to the sidelines and ordered decisively:
"Eden, switch places with Oscar!"
< br>
"Okay, boss!"
Are you the only one who knows how to change positions? !
Ever since, under Mourinho's adjustments, left winger Hazard and attacking midfielder Oscar also changed positions.
Not only that, he also directly replaced the slower Oscar with Brazilian winger William.
Separate Schürrle and William, who have both speed and impact, on both sides, and then Hazard breaks through and distributes the ball in the middle. He intends to strengthen the attack!
Such tactical changes have revitalized Chelsea's wing attack.
With Hazard attracting defense in the middle, the space on both sides becomes even emptier.
William, who just came on the field, has excellent dribbling and speed, constantly attacking Schlupp's defense on the right.
Fortunately, the latter was young enough and had explosive physical fitness, so he could barely keep up with William's breakthrough.
De Wright, on the left, looked particularly disgraced.
After changing positions, World Cup champion winger Schürrle also frequently attacked his defense zone.
In this game, the right wing guarded by De Wright was attacked in turn.
After Hazard passed, it was Schürrle's turn, with almost no time to breathe.
As a result, physical fitness dropped very obviously.
In the 70th minute of the game, Pearson also quickly replaced De Wright with new player Danny Simpson.
After being equalized, Chelsea, who were playing at home, saw their morale rise greatly amid the cheers from the Blues fans.
Mourinho and his team have only one idea.
That is, we must capture this blue fox that dares to run wild on the Blue Bridge at our doorstep!
As the two wings become active, the defensive players in the center frequently cover the wings.
And the crisis is coming quietly
Until the 75th minute of the game, the balance on the field was broken again!
Hazard, who retreated from the center, received Cesc Fabregas' pass with his back.
Faced with the "drinking brother" who swooped from behind, Hazard made a fake move with his upper body shaking and deceived him to his left side.
However, with a flick of the instep of his right foot, he broke through from the right side and completed his turn in an instant.
With an acceleration of his feet, he was in front of Cambiaso.
The latter was not polite at all and went directly to his body.
Either the man cannot pass the ball, or the ball cannot pass the man!
However, he underestimated Hazard.
Don't look at the short height of the goalkeeper. After more than two years in the Premier League, his muscles and confrontation ability have been greatly enhanced.
That strong body is like a small tank. Once it picks up speed, no one can stop it!
The moment the two bodies came into contact, Cambiaso was the one who was knocked away!
“Is this kid so sturdy?!”
However, Cambiasso’s follow-up defense still slowed down Hazard’s dribbling speed slightly, giving him a The time for Ling Feng to return to defense.
However, in the face of front and rear double-teams, Hazard did not show off. Instead, he used the instep of his outside foot to move forward to the right, and the ball was passed from Cambiaso's feet!
At this time, Fabregas came in from behind and just caught the ball.
At this time, a hole was opened in the middle by Hazard's dribbling, and everyone's attention was attracted to Hazard.
And Fabregas has enough time to handle the ball calmly.
Looking up and observing Costa's position, Fabregas immediately sent a scalpel-like through ball forward!
Costa, who was stuck in the penalty area in advance, took advantage of the situation and made a stop to enter the penalty area.
Even though Morgan next to him was holding his jersey with one hand and putting another hand on his shoulder, Costa still relied on his strong core strength to swing his body before he lost his balance. Leg low shot!
The distance was too close and the ball was fast. As soon as Schmeichel swooped sideways, the ball had already entered the lower right corner of the goal!
With the arrival of this goal, the entire Stamford Bridge was ignited again.
With a bang, cheers filled the entire stadium!
After scoring the goal, Costa immediately opened his arms and rushed to the stands of die-hard Blues fans, jumping up and pumping his fists in celebration!
However, the camera at the scene was directly aimed at Mourinho, who was proudly on the sidelines.
At this moment, the "madman" is smiling, with his hands in his pockets, looking determined to win.
It seems that this goal has been expected for a long time.
Looking at this scene, Blues fans felt extremely at ease.
In their view, as long as this "most special one" stands on the sidelines of Stamford Bridge, their team will win one victory after another!
“Chelsea leads again!”
"The goal was scored by their super striker, Diego Costa!"
"Mourinho was not surprised at all by this."
This goal was completely It was a forced push goal by the big center!
The Leicester City generals who were scored had no temper at all.
For this kind of ball, Morgan, the strongest player on the team, almost hung on Costa, but he still shot.
Seeing this goal happen, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown.
"Is this the legendary "Falco Connection"?"
. . .
After opening the score again, Mourinho decisively chose to make substitutions.
Replace Schürrle and replace him with defensive midfielder Ramirez, then pull Hazard back to the left, and Fabregas moves to the midfielder position.
Obviously, this is to strengthen the defense of the midfield!
Not only that, all the players in the frontcourt, including Costa, retreated to their own half.
The creator of the bus tactic used the strongest tactic!
In the following time, Leicester City controlled 60% of the ball possession rate and launched wave after wave of attacks against the Blues.
However, Chelsea's formation is like a flawless medieval castle, impregnable.
Crosses from the wing or set kicks could not get past Terry and Cahill;
Long shots from the outside could not get past the desperate blocking of Matic, Ramirez and others.
Even if Ling Feng wants to use his explosive power to force the soup in the middle and open the gap.
But the defense in the middle is too dense. He can pass one, but he can't pass the second or third.
He can only pass frequently from the right wing, and in the penalty area Create chaos inside, allowing Vardy in the middle or Lingard in the back to sneak in.
However, in front of Chelsea's defense, the immature Vardy and Lingard were at a loss and had no chance!
In the 85th minute of the game, Mourinho even replaced Costa, the hero of the overtake, and replaced him with "Warcraft" Drogba, allowing this former hero to complete his first appearance back at the Blue Bridge. .
Drogba, who returned to the Blue Bridge, received applause from the fans.
In the end, with the referee's long whistle, Mourinho defeated the visiting Leicester City with the most Chelsea tactics!
The score of two to one is not a big victory.
However, for Mourinho, ten games one to zero are much more valuable than one game ten to zero.
Victory is the most important thing!
And this battle can be regarded as revenge for the last duel.
Because, last time in the FA Cup, Leicester City adopted the bus tactic when they were leading the score and finally defended the victory!
