Football’s First Defender

In the second half of the game, Villa’s coach did not expect that Hiddink would actually change players at the beginning of the half to make adjustments. Kalu was replaced and replaced by the offensive and defensive Deco, who changed to a 442 formation. For Chelsea, the offensive tactics carefully prepared for Chelsea's three forward tactics for the Villa coach's halftime break have become almost useless!

The Villa coach can only helplessly tell the team players to switch to alternate tactics. At this time, if you follow the pre-tactics and the opponent's four-midfield defensive lineup, then your team may really be dead. damn!

Deco gained Hiddink’s limited trust and was able to come off the bench. Naturally, he has to work hard in the second half. After all, for Deco, the arrival of the new coach is not the previous coach Scolari of the national team. , Deco cannot rely on relationships now, and can only prove his strength with all his strength, enough to continue to play his role at Chelsea!

This can be regarded as a common problem for all professional players, although it is unrealistic for you to require players to maintain a high level of competitive state throughout the season or during the contract period of several years! But when it comes to the player's status in the team and the level of income after the contract year, the player naturally needs to perform well! Correspondingly, most players with real strength can also mobilize all their strengths and work hard for their future!

This is also a lot of giants, in certain positions are willing to introduce strong enough substitute players to put pressure on some main players, so that they can play a better level in the game! Of course, if you avoid internal strife in the team, there will be more vicious competition caused by personnel, which is also what the giants need to pay attention to!

Deco was in Porto, Barcelona, ​​and the Portuguese national team's performance was perfect, especially in the Barcelona era, after being transformed into a midfielder, he performed extremely well on both offense and defense!

It’s just that Deco, who has come to Chelsea now, is 32 years old. At this age, no matter how good his condition is, he may suddenly experience a cliff-like decline. He didn’t see Professor Wenger next door to save money for the team, but for Players who are over 30 years old implement the system of signing once a year. I don’t know how many veterans’ hearts are hurt!

Although he performed well under Scolari before, it is undeniable that Scolari has given too much care to the proud disciple of the national team. You must know that the strength of Chelsea is For the top teams in the Premier League, forcibly placing an outsider as the core position of the midfielder, although many players are dissatisfied, it is still very easy to shine in the statistics!

Hiddink now wants to see whether Deco, as a member of the ordinary midfielder, can still show excellent game state in limited opportunities, and whether it is really a treasure!

In the second half of Chelsea's game, under the 442 formation, the defensive ability of the four midfielders on paper is extremely good!

For the home team Villa, it is extremely difficult to penetrate the attack from the center!

Even Ashley Young, who used to be the main attack point of the wing, is also defended by the cooperation of the right back Bosingwa and other players in the center. There is almost no chance on the left side!

You know, for Vera’s offense, Professor Yang’s wing and Husky’s ball is to take Vera’s two thighs forward. Now that one leg is broken, Vera can only rely on Hess more. Based on this!

Villa's most threatening offense is the only way to find Husky with the ball! However, in order to limit Ashley Young's wing breakthrough, Chelsea will naturally not have more people to double-team Husky!

Even if Husky became Villa’s biggest offensive threat, Terry who defended Husky alone could not completely defend him, but as one of the best central defenders in England, Terry has always been one of the best in England. In training, for this tall type of forward, he definitely has excellent defensive experience and defensive skills!

Husky has the absolute upper hand under Terry’s separate defense, but under the interference of Terry’s physical confrontation, and Terry’s small movements that are not in the referee’s field of vision, but always Unable to ferry the header comfortably!

In addition, Yang Feng has also been staring at Husky’s passing. As long as Husky completes the header, Yang Feng will preemptively run and take all the second penalty kicks within his own defense range. Be firmly in control, and sometimes even simply give up on Abang Raho, who was defending, and took the lead in chasing the second penalty!

Abangraho, who always followed Husky to eat bread before, was always in the shadow of Yang Feng's defense in this game. He did not get any pass from Husky without being under Yang Feng's defense!

Not to mention the cooperation between the two as usual, allowing Abangraho to create a good scoring opportunity!

Unlike Villa's performance on the offensive end, which is almost restricted, Chelsea's counterattack is very impressive!

It's just that the old problem that plagued Scolari before this season, the team lacks the kind of top wing players!

Although the four midfielders can form a world-class defense on the defensive end, they provide a very solid barrier for the team's back line of defense!

However, in the counterattack process, although several midfielders have good long pass transfer ability, and their own ability to drive the ball, and even direct long-range shots, they create opportunities and create threats on the sidelines. In terms of, almost all four of them are weak!

This also makes Chelsea's counterattack always the most direct connection between the midfielder and the frontcourt players, and seldom use the open side space to increase the team's counterattack routines and increase the opponent's defense. More confusing!

Villa’s central defender, when defensively counterattack, is very clear, is to restrict Drogba and Anelka's catch, facing the open space on the side, but almost no one pays attention, everyone’s attention Focus on Chelsea's double front!

However, even if the counterattack is a conspiracy, due to the excellent physical fitness of Drogba and Anelka, as well as extremely strong personal abilities, it can still create an excellent counterattack opportunity for Chelsea!

However, on the other hand, if you can have an excellent winger to help your own forward, you can definitely make it easier for the two of you to get the opportunity, and the team can also make more changes in the counterattack process!

Thinking of the winger, Hiddink thought of Arshavin, the core player in his national team, for the first time in his mind. Perhaps he was not so fast, but Arshavin had the ability to attack, pass, and hit the goal by himself. Definitely suitable for today's Chelsea!

It’s just a pity that the former coach Scolari’s class was delayed until the end of the winter window transfer. In addition, Chelsea boss Abramovich’s financial situation is not optimistic. Arsenal, who has been saving money for several years, is generally tightening money in this giant. In the era of economic crisis, I bought the best performer in the European Cup at an ultra-low price!

In Chelsea, only Malouda and Quaresma are the two wide players at this stage! Although Malouda is also the most direct line player before Scolari, Hiddink also understands the reason why Malouda is so valued by Scolari. After all, sometimes Chelsea needs an excellent wing when counterattacking. Players, come to enrich the counterattack system!

It's just a pity that Malouda is now suffering from injuries. He didn't make the big list in this game and couldn't play right away! And even if Malouda is fully recovered, Hiddink intends to dry him for a while. Firstly, Hiddink needs to take care of the playing time of some other Chelsea midfielders, and secondly, so that Malouda can really be used for me!

As for the other Portuguese national team player Quaresma, although Scolari was used as a life-saving straw to save the handsome position, he quickly joined on loan from Inter Milan Winter Window!

But its technical style is really incompatible with Chelsea in Hiddink's eyes!

After all, this Chelsea is the team left behind by Mourinho, and Mourinho’s figure is engraved everywhere. Before the tactical style left by Mourinho can be washed away, the national Milan cannot adapt to Mourinho’s tactics. Quaresma does not have his own living space at Chelsea either!

What Hiddink needs is a wide player who can break through the wing, have speed, pass the ball, and pass the ball to open space for Drogba and Anelka when they counterattack, attract defense, and pass the ball. At the foot, it can also create opportunities for two strikers!

But Quaresma, since his debut, has been a "lone wolf"! The personal skills at his feet are indeed excellent and gorgeous, and his outside instep unique skills are unique in the world. However, he is too willing to stick the ball and judges the timing of the pass extremely badly. For Chelsea at this stage, Quaresma’s Personal style is difficult to integrate with the team's overall tactics! Anyway, Hiddink has already put Quaresma into the cold, and he will return it to Inter Milan after the season is over!

Back to the game, the second half of the two teams was actually a bit lackluster! Chelsea's tight defense makes Aston Villa's home game only rely on continuous long shots to increase its number of shots!

In the same way, Chelsea, which has become a 442 formation, also feels that the offensive firepower is reduced sharply because of the lack of a striker who is best at pulling sides. Even as the defensive counterattack, there is not enough threatening offense!

In the second half, Drogba used his strong body to resist defensive players and obtained a nearly single-handed opportunity!

But in the process of the breakthrough, the central defender was entangled for too much time, giving Villa goalkeeper enough time to attack. In the end, Drogba, who hurriedly hit the goal, did not shoot the ball on target and did not rewrite the score for the team!

Even if the Villa team changed and adjusted afterwards, Chelsea's defense was so solid that Villa returned to the horror of being dominated by the Mourinho bus!

However, today's Chelsea, although the player's position does not look like a bus, but the overall defensive feeling is almost the same as that of the bus era!

Yang Feng is the key person who is in the back line of defense, frantically checking for leaks, blocking possible loopholes, and maintaining the "bus"!

Many of the missed passes from the midfield, as well as the ball that the opponent Husky spotted and were controlled by Villa players in danger, were blocked by Yang Feng himself!

There are Yang Feng everywhere, Yang Feng will always appear the most critical defensive position! Most of Villa's offenses fell short of success!

In Chelsea’s game, due to injuries, most of the benches were young players. Except in the 90 minutes, Belletti was replaced and Drogba was replaced to strengthen the defense. It was also to delay a little time. Hiddink even There is no use of his third substitution place!

In this way, Chelsea in the second half, relying on their own defense, kept the score of 1 to 0! People who have watched the game know that the game is actually far less intense than the score shows!

Chelsea occupied the absolute initiative in the whole game, limiting Villa, who lacked offensive means, to death! Even with the frenzied cheers of the home fans, Vera didn't turn out too much spray. Most of the offensive rounds could only end in a hasty long shot!

On the Chelsea side ~www.readwn.com~, although they did not score a second goal, they created significantly more scoring opportunities and better! It's just that Villa's defense is more targeted when facing only the remaining two forwards, and he didn't make a big mistake! Secondly, the Chelsea double forwards wasted too many opportunities, plus there is an open goalkeeper to guard Villa in front of the goal!

Chelsea is in the lead without scoring, just can't score!

But with a three-pointer in the league, Chelsea had already overfulfilled the goal, and Hiddink's first game in office was a good start!

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway!

Yang Feng, who started this game, won the love of all Chelsea fans with his outstanding performance! And countless professional footballers lament that Chelsea has found an outstanding central defender!

Even Yang Feng, who was famous in the European Cup before, was unable to win the support and recognition of Chelsea fans because he could not play at Chelsea!

Now seeing Yang Feng's role in the team's defense, Chelsea fans are even more excited. They hope that the team can go on like this and even try to counterattack Manchester United in the league the best!

On the other hand, many football media workers are focusing on Yang Feng's defensive ability! Especially the accuracy rate of the terrifying prediction of the landing point, and the success rate of the supplementary defense! Yang Feng used his extremely good defensive performance to prove that although he still lacks physical confrontation ability, he can definitely gain a foothold in the Premier League and even has the ability to become the team's defensive thigh!

But as far as Yang Feng is concerned, this stage is not the time that has been praised by the outside world. He must use his best efforts to ensure that his main central defender position is not lost, and to ensure more opportunities for competition, is the king!
