Football’s First Defender

Chelsea's continuous creation of dangerous offensive opportunities has put Aston Villa's not-so-good defense line into a huge test!

Chelsea's offense also forced Aston Villa to invest more numbers and players' attention on the defensive end!

Especially after Kalou's counterattack that almost scored a goal, the Villa coach can only make real-time adjustments on the sidelines, so that the players must first pay attention to the number of left-behind personnel in their own backcourt during the offensive process. !

Originally, Chelsea's central and backcourt players were extremely defensive. Villa could only use the defensive weaknesses of Chelsea's three forwards and invest more offensive numbers to create opportunities in positional warfare and threaten Chelsea's goal!

But now Villa, whose offensive firepower is restricted by his own coach, does not have much chance in the face of a positional battle with Chelsea's defense! It is not so easy for Aston Villa to get through the defensive front formed by Chelsea's three midfielders alone!

After attacking for multiple rounds in a row, Chelsea's players took advantage of this period of surrendering possession to allow several players who had been running in the frontcourt to take a breath and recover their strength!

In the final stage of the first half of the game, Chelsea's players were fully charged, regained possession of the ball, and continued to develop their own offense!

For Hiddink, since Chelsea already has the most iron-blooded defense in Europe, he wants to integrate his offensive style into this team during the six months of "firefighting" coaching!

He still has a few months to coach this team. In today's Premier League, under the situation of several powerhouses competing for hegemony, it is not surprising that under the huge point advantage, Chelsea's qualification for the Champions League will definitely be easily won. It is the difference between playing in the qualifying round or directly entering the main match. Then the league can be used as Chelsea's training ground for the Champions League and domestic cups!

Even as a firefighting coach, Hiddink still wants to win a championship as an extra reward for working part-time for half a year! A coach who doesn't want to win a championship is not a good coach!

If this championship can still be the Champions League champion that Abramovich and Chelsea have dreamed of, then it will be even more perfect!

In the final stage of the half-time game, there is the third-placed team in the current league as a training partner for himself. Of course, Hiddink must direct the team to continue to seize the time to attack!

Even if he only plays one side in the offense, Hiddink hopes that his players can use small-scale cooperation and frequent changes of positions between forwards to create some scoring opportunities and constantly cultivate the tacit understanding between players! Practice for the next cup game!

"Chelsea retreated to the half before, and after defending for a while, in the final stage of the first half, they regained possession and organized an offensive!"

"Although the Aston Villa players have been running like hell at home, hoping to make up for their lack of talent with hard work, they always feel that they can't put enough pressure on Chelsea!"

"After patiently passing the ball in the midfield, Chelsea once again successfully advanced to the front of the opponent's penalty area! Aston Villa's defense will once again have to withstand the test from Chelsea's attacking team!"

"Lampard chose to give the ball to Ashley Cole who attacked from the left!"

"Ashley Cole, who is known for his speed, wants to single out and break through Villa's midfielder Milner on the left!"

"But Milner's speed is actually not slow, coupled with his strong body, and he spares no effort to run. Whether Ashley Cole is running with the ball or without the ball, the previous few attempts to attack They are all restricted to death!"

"After receiving a pass from Lampard again, Ashley Cole immediately accelerated towards the bottom line, wanting to make a surprise pass so that he could pass directly from the bottom! However, Milner's defense is still airtight! He came over immediately Cut off Ashley Cole and don't give him a chance at all!"

"Ashley Cole, in the 1v1 battle with Milner, did not take advantage of the slightest advantage. Instead, in the confrontation, because Milner's body is too strong, when Milner found the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand and fight hard, he will Ashley Cole knocked himself off balance!"

"Fortunately, Ashley Cole reacted quickly enough. Before he fell to the ground, he kicked the ball hard to Milner. The football rebounded out of bounds and Chelsea got the chance to serve from the sideline!"

"The ball was sent directly and quickly from the sideline, and Ashley Cole threw the ball directly to Lampard who came over!"

"Ashley Cole went to the bottom immediately after passing the ball, pinning down Milner's defense!"

"Anelka, Drogba, and Kalou frequently changed positions inside and outside the penalty area. The changes of the three of them actually messed up Aston Villa's defense line!"

"Lampard took two steps with the ball, and after attracting the attention of the Aston Villa midfielder, he took the right time and passed the ball to Ballack not far away!"

"Because of Aston Villa's slightly chaotic position, although there are three defenders around Ballack who can prevent Ballack from breaking forward with the ball, there is no one who can rush forward in a short time. Go forward and interfere with Ballack's long-range shot!"

"After Ballack received the pass, he took a step forward and directly bombarded the goal from 35 meters away! There is no pretense, just pure strength, a long-range shot!"

"Although the distance is far, but because Ballack has enough time to prepare, swings his legs well, and exerts great force, the ball is kicked like a cannonball out of the chamber, and it flies directly to the goal quickly!"

"Aston Villa's goalkeeper, American veteran Friedel! Jumped high in a panic, stretched his body with all his strength, and tried to block this wonderful long-range shot with one arm!"

"This ball! It really made Friedel touch it!"

"Thanks to the goalkeeper's height and excellent wingspan! Ballack's shot was almost heading for the dead corner, but it was directly blocked by the goalkeeper who leaped sideways!"

"Although Friedel didn't directly control the football, touching the football with his palm is enough to change the original trajectory of the ball!"

"The ball almost brushed the post and flew out of the baseline! Chelsea's corner kick!"

"Set-piece tactics have always been Chelsea's scoring weapon! Drogba, Terry and others all have excellent header ability and can solve the battle in the penalty area! Outside the penalty area are ambushing Ballack and Lan Pade, you can wait for the opportunity at the second landing point, long-range shots are extremely accurate!"

"Now, Chelsea have added Yang Feng, who also has excellent header ability!"

For Yang Feng, in the Russian Super League, his header has always been a powerful supplementary weapon in the team's set-piece tactics! Especially with the help of Pogrebnyak and Skrtel to attract the firepower of the opponent's central defender, Yang Feng can avoid the opponent's tall central defender, using his height and his ability to judge the placement of the pass , Reaction speed, the front point, try to create more offensive opportunities!

"Ashley Cole, take the corner!"

"A beautiful arc!"

"I'm looking for the position at the previous point!"

"Sure enough, I'm looking for Yang Feng!"

"When Terry and Drogba attract enough defensive attention from the opponent in the center of the penalty area, Yang Feng's point is indeed the place with the highest height on the field! Chelsea just want to give full play to their absolute advantage in set-pieces! "

"Also, Yang Feng has always been famous for his headers in front of the ball!"

For Yang Feng, because of the short flight distance and fast speed of the ball at the front point, the reaction time left for the players is naturally not very long, so Yang Feng's own accurate judgment of the landing point has an advantage in time!

And because of the ability to judge the landing point, Yang Feng can also directly adjust his header action, so that he can complete the technical action preparation in a short time! When the corner kick just came out, Yang Feng had already figured out what kind of action would be the most reasonable!

Unlike the corresponding defensive players, who need some luck in the judgment of the previous point, Yang Feng actually confirmed the ball's landing point and made sufficient preparations!

To prevent Yang Feng's header from the forward position, the defenders can only choose to stare at Yang Feng, follow Yang Feng to death, chase people instead of staring at the ball as usual!

However, for such an ordinary league game, the team's preparations for the game are only a general understanding of the situation. It was also because Yang Feng hadn't played before. Obviously, the Aston Villa players didn't know how to limit Yang Feng's header from the front point, or the players who defended Yang Feng still followed the normal defensive method. Mark Yang Feng!

"Yang Feng! After making a circle from the middle of the penalty area, now he sprints straight up and takes off from the forward position following the inertia!"

"Facing the falling football! It's just a head shake!"

"Behind Yang Feng, it was Petrov who was guarding him! Although Petrov didn't miss anyone, it was true that he didn't stick to Yang Feng. This also made Yang Feng not get enough attention from Petrov during his running and jumping interference!"

"This header is definitely within the range of the goal frame!"

"Friedel! Another side attack!"

"During the defensive corner kick, Feridel's attention was really concentrated. As soon as Yang Feng's header was completed, Feridel had already moved sideways and made a save!"

"Once again, the must-goal goal was rejected! Aston Villa, an aging American veteran picked up from Blackburn, has performed phenomenally this season!"

"Another corner!"

Petrov didn't dare to relax his attention on Yang Feng this time! Seeing that Yang Feng continued to stand in the center of the penalty area, this time Petrov leaned tightly on Yang Feng's body, and kept exerting physical resistance on Yang Feng!

Although Yang Feng's position is a central defender and the opponent's position is a defensive midfielder, Yang Feng has a slight advantage in height and weight, but as a veteran of the Premier League, Petrov's physical confrontation ability is tempered by the environment of the Premier League. , is also extremely powerful!

Maybe it's not a humanoid tank, but against Yang Feng, it's definitely not at a disadvantage!

After the physical confrontation was imposed, Yang Feng's running was greatly affected!

Yang Feng's header before that time was really good. For professional players, Petrov doesn't want to be tripped twice in the same place!

This time, Yang Feng no longer had the chance to hit the goal without pressure and interference like last time!

When Ashley Cole continued to pass the ball from the previous position, Yang Feng was unable to control his body under the confrontation and made a proper shot!

"The corner kick is sent! This time, it is still to find the front point!"

"Yang Feng! He and Petrov are still entangled! Both take off at the same time!"

"Yang Feng, using his height advantage, he still wants to fight for this goal!"

"But after Petrov took off, he obviously had physical contact with Yang Feng. In this case, as long as the movements are not too big, it is definitely a reasonable physical confrontation!"

"After Yang Feng's physical confrontation, the take-off height was obviously affected! This ball!"

As far as Yang Feng is concerned, he also understands that his physical resistance ability is still a little bit worse than the average of the highest level players. Even if the height has the advantage, the difference in physical fitness caused by race is still different!

After all, Yang Feng also understands that in terms of flexibility and speed, he must be superior to heavyweight athletes of the same level, but in pure physical strength, whites or blacks must have an advantage over yellows!

In the competition, it is to see who can make better use of their own advantages!

When Petrov faced him squarely, started to defend hard, and marked him, Yang Feng already knew that he couldn't get enough space to give full play to his advantages!

Heading the goal under physical confrontation, even if I know the landing point and trajectory first, and reach the take-off position first, but after being interfered by the opponent through physical confrontation, I will definitely not be able to make a precise header!

In this case, the angle of the header with the addition of the front point is actually not big, which will make you directly head the ball and minimize the chance of scoring a goal!

Therefore, Yang Feng can only choose, try to pass the ball, try to cause chaos in the opponent's penalty area!

"Yang Feng was at the front, and with a jumping action, he pushed the ball towards the middle of the penalty area!"

"Unable to hit the goal directly under Petrov's interference, Yang Feng chose to rub the ball into the middle of the penalty area and let his teammates seek the second spot!"

"Drogba!"

"Under the double-team, I still took off bravely and reached the football!"

"Drogba's body is really too strong! One fight and two fights are effortless!"

"It's just that, although Drogba hit the ball, it was a little bit high, and the shot was not within the range of the goal frame!"

"Aston Villa dodged a bullet again!"

After that, the two sides carried out several attacks respectively, and the first half of the game ended like this. Chelsea maintained a 1-0 lead in the away game!
