Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 449 Defensive vs Offensive?
"Drip~~~"

After the break, the referee Tierney took a deep breath and blew his whistle vigorously.

Watford striker Deeney took charge of the kick-off, and the away Hornets quickly formed an offensive.

During the tactical discussion in the midfield, both Lee Polo and Fabregas raised a question:
There is a problem with Watford's midfield configuration.

The defensive midfielder Capoue, who is good at defense, now focuses on marking Li Polo, while Cleverly, who prefers offense, is in charge of Fabregas.

Their arrangement... is completely misplaced!
In the 3rd minute of the opening game, the visiting team's right winger Pereira was blocked by Alonso, so he could only choose to pass back to the left winger Kiko Femenia, who was only blocked by Hazard with a feigned stretch of his leg... …

Although Kiko swayed away from Hazard, Fabregas blocked the passing route and could only drive the ball forward by himself. However, he was too thin as a full-back, only 1.7 meters tall. It is Fabregas, who can also easily form suppression in terms of strength.

It is worth mentioning that this diminutive full-back, like Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, made his debut in the La Masia youth academy, but he is four years younger than them.

It's a pity that he caught up with the golden age of the dream team. Kiko, who is not particularly talented, has no chance in the first team at all, so he can only make his home around the world...

In order to make a living, he even joined Real Madrid from the Barcelona B team, but his idea was too naive.

He didn't get a chance in Barcelona, ​​why does he think Real Madrid can fancy him?

After wasting his time in the reserve team for several years, he finally woke up from the dream of being a wealthy family. He honestly started to play in the second division of La Liga, followed Alaves and successfully promoted to La Liga. Polo has played against each other twice, but he didn't win once...

He left Alaves this summer and moved to Watford on a free transfer, but he didn't expect that Lee Polo would follow his footsteps and join the Premier League!
Of course, in Lee Polo's memory, he didn't know this guy at all!

Fabregas was not polite at all, he got stuck in the position, squeezed his junior brother away, and swept the ball to Hazard who had just been passed by Kico.

Once the ball king, who obviously did not work hard in defense, once received the football, his whole person suddenly changed, and his body was instantly ignited with enthusiasm. A classic deep-fried meatball treated the opponent's right center back Mariappa as air, Then directly face the core of the Hornets' defense-central defender Kabasele from Belgium.

Although Kabasele and Hazard are fellows, there is no room for him in Belgium, which is full of talents. Looking at the leader of the national team, Kabasele not only has no closeness and awe, but a kind of deformity in his heart hatred.

[If I can suppress Hazard in a head-to-head confrontation, will the head coach of the national team discover my existence? 】

Sometimes, spiritual will can indeed play an unexpected role.

Facing Cabarcele, who was 150% more excited, Hazard couldn't find a chance to break through.

He made an emergency stop, knocked the ball and changed direction, trying to get away from his position, but was immediately blocked by the highly focused opponent. In desperation, Hazard had no choice but to sweep the ball back to the goal. Fabregas diagonally behind.

[Roberto Martinez (Belgian coach), have you seen it?
I successfully defended Hazard! 】

Cabasele shouted presumptuously in his heart, and then continued to stare at Hazard closely, preventing the superhuman king from hitting him in the face at the speed of light...

At the same time, Mariappa, who had just been thrown off by Hazard, quickly returned to the penalty area and restored the defensive system of three central defenders again.

But as soon as the right central defender took his position, he saw Fabregas dribbled the ball to the wing...

Since Kiko was a little slow to fill the position, and the defensive midfielder Capoue was defending Li Polo again, Mariappa could only bite the bullet and stepped up again.

Cesc Fabregas laughed happily and made an arc with the back of his right foot!
The 179cm Mariappa struggled to jump up, but didn't reach it at all!
He turned his head in the air, wanting to see his teammates help him fill the space, but Cabarcele has been restrained by Hazard, and another defender Britos is guarding Remy more than ten meters away...

【fine! 】

Seeing that Chelsea's two forwards were man-marked, Mariappa felt a little relieved.

But before he landed, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blue afterimage soaring into the air with a "Hu" sound!

【He jumps really high! 】

Such a comment still popped out of Mariapa's heart.

Then at the last moment, he finally saw Li Polo's face clearly...

Li Polo, who took the lead, completely overwhelmed Capoue in this short-distance race. He rushed into the penalty area with almost no one to guard him, and made a cross towards the goal less than 6 meters away. Remember "header smash"!
Facing this top-down smash, goalkeeper Gomez raised his hand and surrendered!
3: 0!

[Negative emotions from Gomez, +555! 】

[Mariapa, +178! 】

[Capue, +213! 】

[Coach Silva, +555!]
-
"Yes!"

There was jubilation in Chelsea's bench, and even several Italian coaches were celebrating.

Alessio had an unbelievable expression:

"This guy... is too fast!"

"Before Fabregas dribbled the ball to the side, he was still ten meters away from the penalty area, but the moment Fabregas kicked the ball, he had already stepped into the penalty area!"

Fitness coach Bertelli took it for granted:
"I've said it a long time ago, that guy's speed, if he trains well for a few months, he can definitely compete for a track and field medal!"
-
On the other hand, Watford coach Marco Silva was slightly tangled.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Capoue was already the strongest defensive midfielder he could choose, but he still couldn't stop Li Polo from advancing, which made him feel helpless.

If he were an Italian, he would probably be unswervingly choosing not to defend at this time, and keep the score of 0:3 until the end.

But many games this season have proved that this head coach doesn't bother to do this!

——Although he is called the new Mourinho by the good media, he doesn't like defensive counterattacks!

他在第一轮和利物浦打了一场3:3，又在第5轮被曼城踢了个6:0，却从不愿意放弃自己的足球哲学！
He gave instructions almost without hesitation:
"Continue to strengthen the fight in the middle and look for opportunities to attack!"

"We can lose, but we can't be cowardly!"

The Watford players who received instructions launched an indomitable charge towards Chelsea!
They were destined to be crushed by the blue army, but they did not back down!
In the 56th minute, Cleverley, who hadn't dribbled the ball across the center line, was cut off by Li Polo from his forward pass, and Li Polo directly counterattacked in the opponent's half.

Li Polo made a direct pass to Cesc Fabregas, and Fabregas made a slap in the face. His eyes were on Hazard on the left wing, but he actually passed the football to Pedro on the right. A shot from the far corner easily expanded the score to 4:0!

"Another precise interception from Lee Polo!"

Shen Fangjian finally learned the correct way to comment:
"He is like a moving steel wall in the midfield. Whether it is Dukure in the first half or Cleverly now, there is no way to break through his defense!"

Jia Tianning nodded in relief, and then turned to the technical level:
"Due to Lee Polo's dominant performance in the midfield, Watford's offensive routines have been almost abolished. They have no way to penetrate Chelsea's defense line through the pass and cut in the middle, and can only pass through the two sides. They looked for opportunities all the way, but...their strikers didn’t seem to be good at fighting for headers, and several opportunities were resolved one by one by the three central defenders of the Blues, and Courtois did not pose a threat at all!”
-
Leading with four goals in 56 minutes, the outcome has lost suspense, but Marco Silva still did not give up.

He even removed the right central defender Mariappa, who had lost ground in advance, and replaced him with a substitute striker, trying to add a frontcourt attack point...

His spirit is admirable, and Conte couldn't help applauding him!

[Since you want to die, then we will fulfill you! 】

With a wave of Conte's flag, Chelsea, like Watford, changed from 343 to 424!

Luiz moved forward and once again cameo as a defensive midfielder to escort Fabregas, while Lee Polo, who played as a defensive midfielder for an hour, returned to the forward line!

[Compared to attacking, who is afraid of whom? 】
