Football’s First Defender

Chelsea, who won the Premier League title in advance, can focus all of their attention on the following FA Cup matches.

In the next FA Cup semi-final, Chelsea’s opponent is Villa, who has just been bloodbathed by himself in the league.

Under Chelsea's concentrated response, Villa also did not have any resistance this time, and was kicked 3-0 by Chelsea cleanly. There is a serious restraint relationship between Chelsea and Villa’s team style, so even if Villa is a good team this season, facing Chelsea, they can never look up.

With a serious lack of full-backs on both sides, Ancelotti has been experimenting with the play of three central defenders and has given the team's main wing attack methods to the two full-backs.

Fortunately, the opponent Villa in the semi-finals is not too threatening after all, Chelsea's incomplete formation can still easily win.

Chelsea's expected opponent in the finals, not surprisingly, will be Tottenham Hotspur, who has a high probability of qualifying for the Champions League this season. However, in order to maintain the lead in the league, Tottenham did not play all the main players, but was held by the penultimate Portsmouth to a 0-0 draw.

In the end Portsmouth knocked out Tottenham after dragging the game into a penalty shootout.

This season's FA Cup final will be the Premier League leader Chelsea, against the deputy squad leader Portsmouth, the head-to-tail battle in the Premier League.

Since the FA Cup final is played a week after the end of the Premier League, Chelsea, who won the championship early, and Portsmouth, who were relegated early, have plenty of time to prepare.

However, Chelsea is obviously the more dominant team.

Chelsea, who played at home in advance to celebrate their league championship, can't wait to win their second championship trophy this season.

On May 15, the first weekend after the end of the Premier League, at Wembley Stadium, Chelsea and Portsmouth launched the final FA Cup final competition.

Chelsea's three full-backs still have not recovered from the injury. Ancelotti directly played the 352 lineup, and the left and right full-backs played with Malouda and Joe Cole respectively.

The double forward is still the strongest attacking combination of Drogba and Anelka.

In the midfield, Mikel, Lampard and Ballack's trio.

Three defenders Terry, Yang Feng and Belletti.

The goalkeeper is still the goalkeeper Cech.

In fact, this lineup also has obvious flaws, that is, Joe Cole may not be able to complete the defensive task of the wing in his area, but Chelsea, which has an absolute advantage in strength, does not need to care about these details.

Joe Cole has Mikel’s help, Belletti and Yang Feng’s defense behind him. In fact, in this game, he only needs to play offensively. Chelsea’s defensive system. Can support the defense on this side.

Portsmouth's tactics in this game are very simple. It is to defend, stick to the penalty area, and even have no intention of coming out to fight back. Defending to overtime, defending to the penalty shootout, and then handing over everything to fate is the ultimate victory .

Chelsea's offense is indeed difficult to create an effective offensive threat when the wing obviously cannot form an offensive system.

And the advancement of the mid lane, in the face of the sufficient number of defenders in the Portsmouth mid lane, there is no big way.

Chelsea's possession rate almost reached 80%, but in addition to some long-range super long shots, Chelsea did not create too many opportunities in the penalty area.

Drogba and Anelka in the penalty area, surrounded by Portsmouth players, do not have too many opportunities to receive passes. Chelsea are constantly trying various offensive methods, but fortunately, Portsmouth. Apart from doing a good job of defensiveness, he really doesn't have the strength to devote himself to the counterattack, so on the offensive end, Chelsea can safely and boldly try various offensive methods without worrying about big problems in the back line.

Throughout the first half, Chelsea did not have much to do with Portsmouth's iron bucket.

Although due to penalty points and weak offensive ability, Portsmouth completely failed to relegation in March. In the case of bankruptcy of the team, the players did not have much fighting intentions and struggled in the league.

But now that they have reached the finals of the FA Cup, even if it is to allow themselves to leave in the summer, they can sign a better contract with the new team. In such a big final stage, Portsmouth The team members still performed extremely hard.

There is no technical advantage, nor outstanding in personal ability. The Portsmouth players rely on their tireless running and dense defensive numbers to limit Chelsea's offense.

However, sometimes defense requires luck. With good luck, the barrel formation will be indestructible, and no one can break it. With bad luck, no matter how strong the defense is, it may be broken by an accident.

In the second half, Chelsea's continuous siege finally achieved the 67th minute of the game.

Ballack blasted the goal with a kick from outside the penalty area and hit the Portsmouth defender George to complete the change. The Portsmouth goalkeeper couldn't react in time. He could only watch the kick refraction and fly into the net.

Chelsea took the lead in breaking the deadlock and taking the lead.

Wembley Stadium has instantly become a blue ocean.

Even if the team's way to defend the Champions League ends early, but for these diehard fans of the Blues, as long as they are champions, they are enough to cheer and celebrate.

Not to mention, a few weeks ago, they just celebrated this year's Premier League championship with the team at Stamford Bridge.

A few weeks later, at home, once again witnessing Chelsea win the FA Cup and double crowns, the Blues fans have been very satisfied ~ www.readwn.com ~ fans can celebrate unscrupulously, but the players on the field We still need to maintain the advantage of the score at this time.

Although Portsmouth's offensive firepower is the weakest in the Premier League this season, it is still a Premier League team after all, and the minimum team strength still exists.

After all, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, the Chelsea generals still have to be careful of their desperate fight in the final.

Ancelotti’s substitution adjustments were carried out in a timely manner. Alex replaced Joe Cole, allowing Alex to play the position of three central defenders, and moved Belletti’s position to the position of right back to strengthen the team’s position. Defense.

After that, Portsmouth tried several offenses, but almost did not form a substantial threat.

In the face of Chelsea's well-arranged defensive line, Portsmouth's offensive tactics really didn't have many other methods except for passing from the side.

But because Chelsea’s defensive players themselves are extremely strong, and with enough defensive forces deployed in the penalty area, Portsmouth’s striker has no chance to complete the attack.

Chelsea’s counterattack was very impressive, but Ballack’s long shot seemed to have exhausted the team’s luck. Although in the final stage, Drogba and Anelka each had an excellent counterattack opportunity. But after finishing the goal, they all missed the goal and the score was still not opened.

In stoppage time, Portsmouth's goalkeepers were all involved in the attack, but Chelsea's solid defense still did not make any mistakes.

With Yang Feng passing the opponent from the right side and directly out of the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Chelsea once again won the FA Cup championship trophy. After the end of the season, Chelsea won the double crown achievement of the Premier League and the FA Cup!
