After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 399
During this period, Cancelo felt that the pressure on his side was increasing.

After No. 15 minutes, Sevilla continued to increase their offensive strength on the right, and this was the left of Chelsea, where Cancelo was guarding.

Spanish winger Reyes began to keep getting the ball, and every time he got the ball, Cancelo dealt with it carefully as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

This Spanish international who has left footprints in Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and other giants, although he is 32 years old this year, his breakthrough speed is still very fast.

Moreover, his passing skills, vision and imagination are outstanding. It seems that every move can see through Chelsea's defense; Stand still.

In summary, he is a typical Spanish technical player.

If there's one downside to him, it's a lack of shooting ability.

Throughout his career, Reyes has never been a prolific shooter.

What he does more in the game is to break through and cross instead of cutting directly inside.

And Cancelo had already received Reyes' technical reports from assistant coaches such as Pan Yi and Arteta before the game, and of course he knew this characteristic of his opponent.

Therefore, he will also deliberately defend Reyes' forward movement in defense and force him to use his weaker foot-that is, the right foot to shoot.

A winger who is not good at shooting, and then uses his weak foot to shoot, the effect can be imagined.

However, after Reyes failed to shoot twice in a row, he seemed to have some changes.

After 30 minutes, when Sevilla attacked, Reyes did not go all the way along the wing, but frequently moved closer to the center.

Cancelo could only lean towards the middle, standing on the front line of the penalty area, always ready to step forward and defend.

At this time, the ball passed through Banega's dribble from the left and passed to Reyes' feet on the right side of the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area.

As soon as the Spaniard received the ball, Cancelo leaned forward immediately.

But he was fast, and Reyes was faster than him.

I saw this flexible winger with a height of only 175cm, directly dunked the ball, turned around and entered the penalty area.

Cancelo was taken aback. He didn't expect Reyes to turn around so fast, but he immediately reacted and got stuck on the inside of Reyes, preventing him from facing the goal directly.

Because at this time, Reyes is taking the ball with his left foot. If he shoots, it will be very dangerous!
But Reyes wasn't about to shoot either.

He suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward with the ball. Cancelo followed suit immediately, but what he didn't expect was that when Reyes caught up with the ball, he kicked the ball forward again. Accelerate, get faster.

This frightened Cancelo, desperately catching up.

But even if Cancelo chased after him at the fastest speed, he was still thrown away by Reyes, and then he just got rid of the small space, and at the same time he kicked the ball with his right foot at the front of the small penalty area. With a sweep, the cross passed into the penalty area.

The French striker Gameiro in the middle is like a whirlwind, quickly inserting from behind with lightning speed.

Before Courtois could attack, he stabbed hard and directly smashed the ball into Chelsea's goal.

1:0, Sevilla leads!

And the whole process of scoring a goal happened in the blink of an eye.

Cancelo doubted his eyes a little. He couldn't even imagine that Reyes was able to speed up again in the middle of the sprint, that is to say, he still had some energy left when he started.

My God, is this a 32-year-old veteran? ? ?
Cancelo couldn't accept it. He was forcibly eaten by Reyes in a one-on-one confrontation. He felt that he was being played by Reyes in this way.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that before the game, Pan Yi repeatedly told him to defend Reyes, but he still made a fatal mistake-maybe it is not a fatal mistake in the strict sense, but the blame for losing the ball must be He will carry it.

At this time, there was a burst of crazy cheers from the entire stadium. All the Sevilla fans who came to the scene were exclaiming Gameiro's goal and Reyes' breakthrough.

Sevilla's players were celebrating, and coach Unai Emery raised his arms and applauded vigorously on the sidelines.

This is definitely a wonderful manifestation of Reyes' personal strength, and it is also a manifestation of the effect of Emery's changes in front of the battle.

It is precisely because of his quick change of strategy to storm Chelsea's relatively weak left defense that this goal came about!

Emery walked to the sidelines with a smile, high-fived the players who ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and congratulated Gameiro, who scored the goal, and Reyes, who sent a beautiful assist.

When he retreated to the coaching area, he did not forget to turn his head and glance at Pan Yi.

Pan Yi, on the other hand, folded his hands on his chest, without any dejected expression on his face.

For this conceded goal, Pan Yi was actually a little surprised in his heart.

I didn't expect that, at Reyes' age, there's still plenty of fuel in the tank!

This reminded him of another famous Spanish winger, Joaquin.

This guy who performed well in the 2002 World Cup is even older this year, 34 years old, and is now playing for Real Betis.

What is unexpected is that Joaquin can play like this until he is 42 years old and has not retired...

You know, the position of a winger is no better than a goalkeeper, a defender, or even a center forward.

A winger needs breakthroughs, speed, and physical fitness, so the average winger's career will not be too long, or he will have to change his position and play style in the later stage.

But Joaquin played for so long, and even helped Real Betis win the King's Cup.

Perhaps, the Spaniard has a long tradition of playing wingers?

Well, this may not be seen as a common example.

After all, Vincent, the other Spanish winger who flew with Joaquin back then, retired in 2011 because of too many injuries.

In short, Reyes is still very strong, and Sevilla should not be underestimated!
At this time, Pan Yi also seemed to feel Emery's eyes, and looked at the coach's bench on the other side.

The two looked at each other, and Emery smiled slightly, obviously a little proud.

And Pan Yi also responded with a smile, only one ball, no big deal.

Are there fewer games where I, Pan, falls behind first and then chases back?
And his smile actually made Emery a little nervous.

Because Emery also thought of Pan Yi's previous reversal games!

So, he quickly walked to the court again, clapping his hands vigorously to signal the players not to get too excited, and pay attention to Chelsea's counterattack.

The main reason is that the period after a goal is often the most vulnerable moment for defense. Players can easily become slack because of the surprise brought by the goal, so we must pay attention to it.

Especially... when you're playing against Chelsea.
-
really.

Just 5 minutes after the goal, Sevilla made a mistake.

Banega was entangled by Gretzka immediately after taking the ball once, and wanted to pass the ball to Reyes on the side, but when he passed the ball, he accidentally passed it with a little less force.

Although Reyes also rushed the ball back to Banega before Matic, Lukaku suddenly returned from the frontcourt, jumped out from behind, and gave the ball to Kanter with a sliding tackle.

Kanter didn't wait for the ball to stop, and directly made a long pass, shifting the ball to the left.

Harry Kane, who came diagonally over there, tried his best to catch up, and finally caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

But Cork returned to the defense very quickly and got stuck directly behind Harry Kane, forcing the British Emperor Star to the sideline.

The Sevilla central defender Rami also stepped forward to flank the left and right immediately, and Cory Jowiak stood in the penalty area and was ready to help at any time.

After seeing Harry Kane protect the ball with his back to the penalty area, before Lamy and Cork formed a pincer attack, he suddenly made a fake move, tricked Lamy, and brought the ball to the bottom line.

Cork and Lamy caught up behind him at the same time, Lamy rushed to the bottom line, and Cory Jowiak also blocked immediately.

The intentions of the three defensive players are obvious. I will block your passage into the penalty area, so you can go directly to the bottom line by yourself.

But at this time, Harry Kane's ball protection and dribbling ability are reflected.

First, he made a sudden stop, which tricked Lamy into thinking that he was about to cross, so he stopped in fright, and turned around to block it.

At this moment, Corey Jowiak and Cork were still waiting for Lamy to block, but Kane had already caught the gap between Lamy and the baseline, stabbed the ball into the penalty area, and turned the ball by himself. Get out of the bottom line and catch up quickly.

The three defensive players of Sevilla surrounded Harry Kane at the same time, but even so, Kane still took advantage of the little hesitation in the cooperation of the three, and just took the ball out of the double-team of the three. come out.

At this time, Beto could only block the left column tightly, blocking Harry Kane's shooting angle, and Tremolinas and Cork could no longer care about other people, and rushed directly.

But as soon as Harry Kane caught up with the ball, he made a pass back from the bottom line. Gretzka, who quickly followed up in the middle, directly faced the ball and sent the ball into Sevilla's goal with a natural push.

1: 1!

“Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll！！！！！！！”

"God, this is Harry Kane, this is the hope of England! Although he is not absolutely fast, he still uses the change of rhythm at his feet to pass the three defensive players of Sevilla in one breath, and then pass back Goretzka came in behind and scored a fantastic goal."

"At the same time, this is also a direct connection between Chelsea's two new players in the summer window. Gretzka's defense against Reyes from the beginning, and then to the shot in time, he performed very well! At least from this goal , Pan Yi's operations this summer must be rated high!"

"One to one, the two sides have returned to the same starting line."

"The first half is coming to an end. This goal is undoubtedly a great morale booster for Chelsea."

"It was a precious goal, it allowed Chelsea to level and it made the second half much harder for Sevilla."

"After all, when facing a powerful Chelsea, it is really important to be able to take the lead, so maybe Emery's defensive counterattack tactics can be firmly implemented."

"But now it's a draw, what decision will Emery make?"

After the one-to-one equalizer, all the Chelsea fans sitting in the stadium were all fried.

At that moment, Pan Yi on the sidelines also jumped up from the ground, clenched his fists and yelled.

The audience cheered all over the sky, while Pan Yi turned his head, glanced at Emery, and smiled provocatively.

right?
It's nothing to let you go ahead by one goal...
-
The half-time whistle blew quickly.

In the dressing room at Sevilla, Emery's mind is a bit of a mess right now.

Everyone knows that Pan Yi is best at striking late, otherwise there would be no such thing as "Pan Yi's time".

Therefore, Emery also knows that after failing to lead the first half, the second half will be more difficult than the first half.

How will Pan Yi plan to play this second half?

Emery isn't sure.

Because Pan Yi can be said to be the most elusive head coach in the world, and he often has strange tricks.

Among other things, Chelsea won the Premier League and the Champions League with a 3-4-3 so easily last season, but this season, in order for Kane and Lukaku to coexist, he directly waved his hand and changed the main lineup to Go 3-5-2.

Is this something that ordinary coaches can do?
You know, the more winning the formation and lineup, the less willing the team's head coach is to modify it.

好吧，从4-3-3到4-2-3-1到3-4-3到3-5-2，潘毅几乎每个赛季都会主推一个全新的阵型，但好像也确实没怎么影响到他赢球……

Is this the real tactical genius?
However, although Emery cannot be sure how Pan Yi will play, he can be sure of one thing, that is, Pan Yi will definitely attack and strive for goals.

It has never been Pan Yi's football philosophy to defend against a draw.

That being the case, Sevilla still needs to do a good job of defense first, especially the midfield defense, and wait until they see Pan Yi's plan clearly.

After all, Chelsea's advantage in the midfield is still relatively large.

If Chelsea continues to pinch the midfield like this, it will be difficult for Sevilla's offense to be effective, and it will even be easier for opponents to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

"Reyes, I need you to drop back more in the second half and rush to help the midfield." Emery looked at Reyes.

Reyes nodded: "I see."

Looking at the Sevilla team, there are two offensive players with the best ability to drive the ball, namely Banega and Reyes.

But in this game, Banega was taken care of by many Chelsea players in turn, and his performance was a bit unsatisfactory. Sri Lanka retreated.

With Reyes' strength, he believes that he will be able to solve the problem of the team's midfield and frontcourt being disconnected.

"I hope everyone can keep in mind that we are facing the Premier League giants Chelsea and Pan Yi's team." Emery emphasized the latter title.

Obviously, in his mind, the latter is more important than the former.

"We had to come out of the conceded goal at the end of the first half and focus on the second half."

"I believe that at this moment, in their locker room, Pan Yi must also be actively planning strategies and tactics for the second half, racking his brains to try to break our goal again."

"I don't have too many demands on you, I just hope that you can stick to your own ideas, stay calm and patient, focus on stability, and don't make mistakes easily, understand?"

"Understood!" The players replied in unison.
-
"Sevilla is indeed a difficult team to play against."

In the Chelsea locker room, Pan Yi was also mobilizing the players for the last time before going on the pitch in the second half.

"It's just that although they didn't fall behind in the first half, they didn't play well."

"I've studied Emery's usual tactics and when he finds himself out of control in midfield, he tries to straighten that out."

"And he often has two choices, either let Cork go up, or let Reyes withdraw."

"Because he is very afraid of our attack power, so he should not let the full-back go forward again. Then Reyes will retreat."

Then, Pan Yi looked at Cancelo and comforted him first:

"You played very well in the first half, the conceded goal has nothing to do with you, all of us understand you."

When he saw that Cancelo's expression was not so depressed, Pan Yi warned again:

"But you have to remember, if Reyes pulls back, you come up, but if Cork goes forward, you drop Reyes and follow Cork."

Cancelo nodded heavily, and the fist in the palm of his hand clenched involuntarily.

Pan Yi smiled.

He knew that Cancelo had already held his breath and wanted to perform well!

In fact, the player Cancelo is quite emotional.

When he is in a good mood, he can get whatever he wants on the court, it can be said that he is possessed by the king of the ball;
But if it is hit by something, it may just wither and wither, and eating the little blue pill is useless.

This is why Pan Yi has always trusted Marcos Alonso more and is more willing to give him the main position of the left midfielder.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Cancelo is still young now, maybe it would be better to wait for more games.

It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi encourages Cancelo more.

On the one hand, it is not easy for his negative emotions to affect other people, and on the other hand, it can also arouse Cancelo's fighting spirit and cheer him up again!
Then Pan Yi looked at Gretzka again:
"You were very successful in defending Banega in the first half, and you have to continue to work hard in the second half to see if you can make him make another mistake."

This is where Gretzka is useful. He can run and defend without hesitation, and can faithfully be a ball-grabbing machine.

At this point, whether it is Hazard, or Gnabry, Lingard and others, they are all worse.

"Because we want to grab a start in the second half! While they are adjusting their tactics and their foothold is not stable, we will directly press them in the half and launch the highest-intensity press, forcing them to make mistakes!"

"This scrambling start may last for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, maybe you score a goal in 5 minutes and it will be over, anyway, it depends on the situation."

"But when I didn't tell you to stop, you were not allowed to stop! Got it!"

When he said the last sentence, Pan Yi looked around, that is to say, all the players.

Everyone responded loudly: "Understood!"
-
The second half of the game restarted.

Sevilla took the lead, but Chelsea pressed hard from the start.

Whether it's two forwards, five midfielders, or even Van Dijk among the three central defenders, they all press directly to the center line to press and attack.

Emery had expected that Chelsea would become more proactive, but what they did not expect was that Chelsea's counterattack would come so early and so fiercely.

He suddenly felt a little bad.

It's not that he understands Chelsea's tricks, but that he knows...Pan Yi must have tricks!This taste is wrong!
And before Emery could think of a good way to deal with it, something went wrong on the court.

Due to Chelsea's extremely fast pace of the game and fierce fighting, it was difficult for most of Sevilla's players to control the ball, so they could only hand the ball to the core Banega.

But as soon as Banega gets the ball, Gretzka will pounce on it immediately, and Matic and Kanter will also assist on the side, ready to steal the ball at any time.

This made Sevilla's offense unable to pass the half-time center line, and it also made Sevilla dangerous inside and outside the penalty area.

Especially the left winger Cancelo, who was very active at the beginning of the second half, frequently took the ball to create threats.

Just in the 47th minute of the second half, he took advantage of the cooperation between the left and Matic in the middle, and suddenly went down to the bottom line to pass.

It's just that this pass was blocked by Rami who was very focused in the penalty area and turned into a corner kick.

When the corner kick was taken, there was chaos in the penalty area.

Under the cover of his teammates, Van Dijk once again made a back jump to grab the landing point, which was almost the same as the one at the beginning of the first half.

Only this time, Van Dijk finally straightened his position!

The ball also got into Sevilla's goal impartially.

The ball went in again! ! !

Chelsea overtook the score!

Pan Yi on the sidelines glanced in Emery's direction again.

But this time Emery just stared blankly at the field without turning his head.

Maybe, he can guess that Pan Yi is looking at him now?
