Chapter 406 The youth version of one high and one fast

On the evening of September 2015th, Stamford Bridge Stadium, the first round of the 2016-[-] UEFA Champions League group stage, Chelsea played against Wolfsburg at home.

When the players of the two teams, led by the referee, entered the stadium amidst the roar of Chelsea fans, Pan Yi and Hei Jin shook hands and greeted each other at the entrance of the player tunnel.

The two have played against each other in the Bundesliga, so they are still familiar with each other.

It's just that the Wolfsburg players under Hei Jin are much stronger than they were two years ago.

Take a look at his starting lineup today, it is a big diamond 4-4-2 formation.

Forwards: Bendtner, Dorst.

Midfielders: Draxler, Kruse, Gustavo, Schurrle.

Defenders: R. Rodriguez, Naldo, Dante, Vierinha.

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Even as a fan of Pan Yi's previous life, he knew all the players in this lineup, and they were basically international players from various countries.

This is why they were able to win the runner-up in the Bundesliga last season, second only to the mighty Bayern Munich.

And Wolfsburg also won the first German Cup championship in team history last season, which is also a manifestation of their strength growth.

What's interesting is that they also had a Longguo player last season, Zhang Xizhe who often "wears a hat".

It's a pity that Zhang Xizhe didn't have many opportunities to play in Wolfsburg. He was hailed as a "sales midfielder" by Longguo fans. After the season ended, he returned to China to play in Guoan.

It is precisely because of this that the "Dragon Derby" that Dragon Kingdom fans were looking forward to last season, that is, when Hamburg played against Wolfsburg, the scene where Wu Lei played against Zhang Xizhe did not appear.

Of course, when Pan Yi faces Wolfsburg today, he will also not see Zhang Xizhe.

But heijin, the opponent, still needs to be taken seriously.

Today, his 4-4-2 has two big centers.

The 25-year-old Dutch international Dost is 192cm tall, while the 26-year-old Danish international Turner is 194cm and 89kg. It is clear that he is going to bomb Chelsea from high altitude.

Behind them is the 26-year-old German international Kruse. He can also play as a striker, but today he is behind the two center forwards as a midfielder, responsible for delivering shells to the front.

On both sides of Kruse are the young German teenager Draxler and the old Chelsea player Schurrle, who are also German internationals.

Both players are relatively fast and have good dribbling and passing abilities.

Therefore, cutting off the passing lines from the midfield and both sides to the center of the penalty area will definitely become the key to winning this game.

Wolfsburg's midfield relies on the Germans, while the backcourt mainly relies on the Brazilians.

The defensive midfielder Gustavo, the central defender Dante, and the knife defender Naldo, they have a solid defense and a strong offensive ability. They cooperate with the Swiss international R. Rodriguez and the Portuguese international Vierini on both sides. Ya, it really needs the attention of Chelsea's generals to play [-] points.

Of course, Wolfsburg is playing an away game today, and they will not be too aggressive when facing a strong team like Chelsea.

According to Pan Yi's estimate, Heijin's basic strategy is to defend firmly, and then make a long pass to find the two high points in front. If you can score, you can score. defense.

At Stamford Bridge, one point is a victory, which is the consensus of almost all the coaches who come here now.

Everton's defense was almost successful in the Premier League before. Although Everton was home at the time, Heijin also wanted to try this.

Chelsea, on the other hand, is obviously still focusing on active offense.

Compared with Wolfsburg's "high", Pan Yi's forward line today is "fast".

The two forwards starting today are Mbappé and Abraham!
On the one hand, it is due to rotation reasons, because only two days after this Champions League game, Chelsea will face the challenge of Manchester United in the Premier League.

On the other hand, it is a fulfillment of a promise. At that time, Pan Yi promised to let Mbappe play in the Champions League, so he did what he said.

And Abraham is of the same nature. After his outstanding performance as a substitute in the last game, it is also a reward to let him start in the Champions League.

In the end, it was also because Lukaku was injured in the last round of the game. Although the problem is not big, but out of safety considerations, let him take a rest.

Then, simply let Harry Kane rest. The two of them have basically started every game since the start of this season. Even the Iron Man still has to slow down.

But even with a partial rotation, Chelsea took the initiative to attack from the very beginning of the game and launched a press against Wolfsburg, showing the momentum to eat up the opponent with all their might.

Today, Pan Yi is playing a relatively tough combination of Kante + Gretzka + Matic in the midfield. They can provide Chelsea with enough toughness in the midfield to press and oppress. Coupled with the trident in the frontcourt, it is enough to contain Live in Wolfsburg's midfield.

Facts have also proved that this is indeed the case.

On the one hand, Wolfsburg's cautious and conservative, on the other hand, Chelsea's initiative.

In the opening 2 minutes, Mbappe took the ball from the left, accelerated to break through R. Rodriguez and then cut into the penalty area, sent a cross pass, inserted at high speed, and shot an angry shot from the front of the penalty area. First shot of the field.

Then, when Mbappe dribbled the ball into the right corner of the penalty area, and when Dante was about to cut inside, the Brazilian fell to the ground and failed to tackle, but forcibly pulled Mbappe down.

The referee did not award a penalty kick or a foul, nor did he award Mbappe a dive. In his opinion, this was a collision within the normal range.

The two consecutive attacks were played by Mbappe with the ball, which put huge pressure on Wolfsburg's defense.

Their defenders are not good at speed, like left back R. Rodriguez and center back Naldo.

Especially Dante, he is as slow as a tortoise.

When a tortoise meets a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, of course, it will often be exploded.

This is why Pan Yi dared to use two young forwards who can run in today's game.

In addition, behind Mbappe and Abraham, there is also enough support.

Not to mention the issue of personal ability, Chelsea's five midfielders are against Wolfsburg's four midfielders, and there is only one midfielder Gustavo on Wolfsburg's side. In terms of midfield control, Chelsea must dominate. Excellent.

Therefore, no matter whether Chelsea is attacking in a position or counterattacking after a counterattack, they are obviously more organized and more threatening than Fort Worth.

In the 10th minute, after a helpless long-range shot by Wolfsburg, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois fired a goal kick straight up the field.

Abraham began to play his role at this time, blocking the opponent's Brazilian defender Naldo with his body, trying to grab the first point.

But under Naldo's hard work, he still pushed the ball back, but he didn't go far under the interference.

Gretzka rushed over immediately and controlled the second landing point.

As soon as the ball fell, the young German midfielder was about to stop the ball and turn around. As a result, Gustavo slid the ball directly from the side and shoveled the ball back to Wolfsburg's defense.

Abraham rushed up to grab again at the first time, but Naldo also shoveled the ball and directly shoveled the ball to the side.

Vierinha followed up with a big kick and kicked the ball to the right of the frontcourt.

Schurrle pulled to the right to receive the ball.

After Schurrle joined Wolfsburg, in order to allow him to coexist with another German international Draxler, Heijin often arranged for Schurrle to play on the right, while Draxler played on the left.

Now that Schurrle had just stopped the ball, he saw his old teammate Azpilicueta rushing forward, which made Schurrle instinctively want to snap the ball back to pass Azpilicueta.

But at this moment, Cancelo suddenly returned to his own half and appeared behind him without knowing when.

Azpilicueta and Cancelo, the two players who played two wide midfielders respectively today, had a flexible movement and ran to the same side at the same time.

It was this kind of running position and their understanding of Schurle's playing habits that made their joint steal this time surprised Schurle.

I saw Cancelo leaning his body directly towards Schurle, and then stretched out his legs to break the ball away.

Schurrle was also very tenacious, and counter-robbed immediately on the spot, but after being blocked by Azpilicueta with a "pick-and-roll" with his butt, he could only look at the ball and sigh.

Soon, Cancelo took the ball and rushed forward two steps quickly, and then handed it over to Mbappe who returned.

The French teenager immediately let go of his speed!

As if he was flying, he caught up with him at an extremely fast speed, and before Gustavo, he strode the ball forward and rushed straight past Gustavo's defense zone.

Mbappe's speed is getting faster and faster, especially near the front of Wolfsburg's penalty area, his speed has not diminished at all, and the whole person is like a lightning bolt, rushing to the gap between him and Naldo , Head down and continue to sprint forward.

That speed is too fast!

It was so fast that Dante and Naldo had no time to close the door, and Mbappe rushed over.

After breaking away from Dante and Naldo's defense, Mbappe glanced at the goal and found that Abraham, who was in the back, had also followed up.

So, without thinking, he made a low pass with his left foot.

The ball was extremely fast, passed behind Wolfsburg's defense, and landed on the right side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Benalio was obviously stunned, turned around and was about to pounce to the right, but he immediately saw another Chelsea striker Abraham rushing over, ahead of everyone, facing Mbappe with his right foot The pass sweeps the ball.

The ball was easily swept into the bottom right corner of Wolfsburg's goal by Abraham's right foot.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"Tammy Abraham!!"

"In the 10th minute, Chelsea took the lead in breaking through Wolfsburg's goal, and it was another goal from Abraham! This is his consecutive goal after scoring the lore goal from the bench in the last round of the Premier League!"

"He used his continuous goals to repay the trust of the head coach Pan Yi in him!"

"Of course, this goal is first of all thanks to Mbappe who assisted him. Mbappe's long-distance attack was very exciting. We saw that Wolfsburg's entire left rib was broken."

"Of course, Abraham's speed is also very fast. If he didn't rush forward desperately, it would be difficult to run to the best position to receive this speeding assist from Mbappe!"

"The 16-year-old Mbappe assisted the 17-year-old Abraham. What a beautiful picture! The two young men who ushered in their career debuts in the Champions League at the same time today put on a good show together!"

"One to zero! Chelsea are ahead!"

Chelsea fans cheered throughout Stamford Bridge, all chanting Abraham's name.

And Mbappe.

The long-distance raid just now was really exciting, the speed was too fast, and it was too shocking!
On the football field, speed has always been the weapon that can most arouse the enthusiasm of fans.

It's like Irving in the 98 World Cup, Ronaldo earlier, and Bell who "passed to himself three seconds later" when he played Barcelona in the King's Cup...

And now, Chelsea's Mbappe seems to be about to take over the guns of these predecessors and become the representative of the speed forward in world football! ——
When Chelsea's players rushed out of the pitch to celebrate frantically, Pan Yi stood on the sidelines calmly.

He had been mentally prepared for a long time. Playing Wolfsburg at home should indeed win, so scoring the goal itself really didn't surprise him too much.

But he was still very happy.

Mainly these two young players still seem to have a very chemical reaction.

Mbappe + Abraham, isn't this the youth version of one high and one fast!

And it's really "high" and "fast", not "happy" and "happy" like Sterling.

In this way, Pan Yi's original worry about Chelsea's striker this season can also be eliminated.

The main reason is that these two young people are too young, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the pressure and shoulder the heavy responsibilities in some important games.

And once Lukaku and Harry Kane have any injuries, I am afraid they will not be able to stand up.

Looking at it now, these two young men seem to have always belonged to the young and old, and it seems that there is no big problem.

Especially for Mbappe, Pan Yi promoted him to the first team a few months earlier than in his previous life to play official games, and he was a little worried about whether he would "push the seedlings to encourage growth".

But looking at these few games, I feel that the then head coach of Monaco was conservative.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, under the guidance of Pan Yi, Mbappe can adapt to the rhythm of the first team so quickly and quickly show his advantages in the game.

After turning around and grasping the hands of Arteta and others in front of the coach's bench one by one, Pan Yi walked back to the side of the court.

Just at this time, the players had finished celebrating and walked back.

"Continue to attack, disrupt their rhythm, continue to attack!"

Pan Yi yelled loudly at the players, signaling them to continue pressing forward and attacking, don't show mercy.

The current Wolfsburg lacks the control of the midfield. Once they are pressed, they can easily fall into chaos.

So, under the command of Pan Yi, Chelsea continued to launch a fierce attack on Wolfsburg.

Two minutes after the goal, Azpilicueta suddenly entered the penalty area from the right rib, and shot directly, which shocked everyone into a cold sweat.

Just 1 minute later, Cancelo made a sudden cross from the left rib, and Abraham followed up and hit directly.

But the angle of this shot was too straight, and it was directly thrown by Benalio.

The ball was still on the left side of the penalty area, and Cancelo kept up with the ball and pushed directly, trying to push the far corner, but was blocked by Draxler, who returned to the defense in time, and slid out the door.

This even almost formed an own goal.

Goretzka took the corner kick and Ake headed the goal slightly higher.

In the ten minutes after scoring the goal, Chelsea almost formed a frantic offensive against Wolfsburg. The offensive was wave after wave, with waves higher than waves, pressing against Wolfsburg.

In this situation, it looks as if the opponent just scored a goal.

Wolfsburg was beaten helplessly and could only barely parry.

This is mainly because Chelsea has firmly controlled the midfield, especially when passing the ball, it is almost difficult for Wolfsburg's midfield to pose a threat to Chelsea.

In tonight's game, from Gustavo to Kruse, to Schurrle and Draxler, and even the two high center forwards Bendtner and Dorst, they all tried very hard to grab The ball, but it was still almost meaningless, and Chelsea still firmly controlled the ball.

For these players, the opportunity to participate in the Champions League is actually very rare, and they cherish it very much.

After all, Wolfsburg is not a traditional giant, and even in the Bundesliga, they cannot steadily enter the top four. This also means that they cannot participate in the highest level of the Champions League every year.

So once they have the opportunity to participate, they will use all their strength.

But the problem is, today's opponent is Chelsea.

They couldn't compete with Chelsea in terms of ball possession and rhythm, so they could only helplessly fall into a passive position and fell behind in the score.

Chelsea controlled the situation steadily and steadily, constantly looking for opportunities.

It's just that they actually have some problems.

First of all, although the two teenagers on the front line are very aggressive and fast, they are a little inexperienced after all, and sometimes they are a little edgy when it comes to finishing touches;
The second is today's midfield, like Gretzka and Matic can bring the team more strong pressure and pressing in the frontcourt, but the forward ability and the ability of the last pass are obviously not as good as Hazard Er or B seat.

Especially Hazard, when he is on the field, his speed with the ball and the creativity of the final pass, especially the kind of insight to grasp the gaps in the opponent's defense, are not possessed by these two midfielders. .

Gretzka and Matic are players who are more rigorous and able to complete their tasks according to the team's requirements, but they also lack the spirituality like Hazard or the B seat.

Therefore, sometimes when the ball reaches the frontcourt, the pass coordination will be too mechanical, causing it to be seen through by the Wolfsburg players, resulting in failure to form a threat.

Of course, Pan Yi naturally understood this situation.

But now it is one goal ahead, and there is no need for Hazard or the B seat to play.

Let the current lineup play more and run in more, it will definitely be good for future games.

In fact, Chelsea is still playing very lively now.

Although there was no goal again until the end of the first half, such an offensive frenzy still made the entire Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge hooked!
-
When the game entered the second half, especially from the No. 60 minutes, everyone could clearly see that Wolfsburg's performance had declined significantly.

This is actually a bit inappropriate.

Because the current season has just started, it is the moment when the players are in the best physical condition. Although there have been two consecutive weeks of national team match days, and then a week of double matches, it is not likely to decline significantly after only six or 10 minutes.

A more reasonable explanation is that Chelsea exerted too much pressure.

These young players rushed up screaming, and even the Wolfsburg players who were originally very motivated couldn't stand it.

Having said that, which teams in the world can withstand Chelsea's crazy pressing and attacking at Stamford Bridge?

But Hei Jin obviously hoped to struggle a bit.

He replaced Schurrle with the young German midfielder Alexander-Arnold.

Originally, he hoped that Schurrle could use his familiarity with his old teammates to make a difference when facing his old club, but he didn't expect the effect to be the opposite. Instead, Chelsea players used their understanding of Schurrle to set up trap……

As a result, Xu Sanduo got lost at Stamford Bridge.

But the problem now is that it's not just Schurrle's poor performance.

When the overall rhythm is controlled by Chelsea, it is not easy to change anyone.

In the 80th minute, Gary Cahill made a sudden grab and intercepted the ball.

After snatching the ball, Cahill passed it to Azpilicueta.

Azpilicueta dribbled the ball forward from the inside, and near the center line, passed the ball to Gretzka, and he sprinted forward decisively and quickly, wanting two to one.

Gretzka didn't catch it in time, and as soon as he stopped the ball and took two steps forward, he saw Gustavo pressing towards him.

So Gretzka immediately moved to the right, and Mbappe had already pulled the edge and stuck to the right line, raising his hand to receive the ball.

Gretzka did not hesitate, and a diagonal pass happened to land on the line of Mbappe's diagonal insertion.

Then, Mbappe started again!

There was a burst of exclamation from the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"Beautiful fit from Chelsea on the right. Goretzka passes to Mbappe, it's an open space!"

Mbappe moved forward quickly, and after stopping Gretzka's pass to the front, he quickly chased after him.

The Wolfsburg defense in the surrounding area turned out to be a vacuum, and Mbappe drove the ball diagonally all the way to Wolfsburg's big penalty area.

At this time, several Wolfsburg players returned to the front of the penalty area, and Vierinia went straight to Mbappe.

Mbappe slowed down slightly at this time, and his sight was firmly locked on Vierinia.

When he saw Vierinia pounced towards him, he was prepared to send the ball to the right of Vierinha.

Vierinha didn't expect that Mbappe would do this suddenly, and was taken aback, and immediately turned around and wanted to chase.

But at this time, Mbappe suddenly started, and when he turned around, he went straight to the penalty area from his left side at the fastest speed.

In the very short time when Vierinia turned around, the ball had entered the right side of the penalty area, and Mbappe also went straight into the penalty area at the fastest speed, catching up with the kick he just kicked.

"This is a man's goal! Mbappe actually completed a man's goal in such a small space! His speed is really amazing!"

At this time, the goalkeeper Benalio in front of Wolfsburg seemed to be frightened by Mbappe's breakthrough, and stayed there for a while, but did not attack in time.

Mbappe didn't hesitate, and after regaining the ball, he directly performed his iconic shooting action, and shot sideways!
The ball slid into the goal against the turf.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Two to zero!!!"

"Chelsea hit Wolfsburg again."

"Another brilliant breakthrough from Mbappe, this time by himself!"

"This is definitely a wonderful manifestation of Mbappe's personal ability!"

"With one pass and one shot, Mbappe became the most dazzling star at Stamford Bridge today!"

Chelsea players all rushed out of the pitch to celebrate the goal with Mbappe.

The game has progressed to the present, basically there is no suspense.

The same is true.

The game finally ended with [-]-[-]. Chelsea won Wolfsburg steadily at home and made a good start to the Champions League this season!
