Football’s First Defender

In the ninth round of the Premier League, Chelsea and Liverpool, who tied for the top with 6 wins and 2 draws with the same record, will face off at Stamford Bridge!

One is a nouveau riche who has transformed into a wealthy family after capital injection, and the other is a traditional giant who has been down for many years. Although both teams have the life and death rivals of Manchester United, at this time, the dead friends do not die poor. Everyone wants to take advantage of it. When Manchester United was weak at the beginning of the season, they strived to win the Premier League championship this season!

Chelsea, who sits at home, hopes to use the cheer and blessing of home fans to use a victory to occupy the top of the list!

Even if Drogba is still unable to play due to injuries, Scolari still has a 442 formation, with Kalu and Anelka as double forwards to attack!

In addition to the substitute goalkeeper, Alex, and Belletti, who can be a guest on the side, the remaining four generals are all midfielders, even the forward teenager Di Santo, who has just been transferred to the first team this season. All entered the bench, Scolari's determination to win the game by attack is evident!

Although Yang Feng didn't even make the big squad, the Chinese fans who have gradually regarded Chelsea as their home team are still watching the TV, and together with many fans of the two teams in the world, witnessed this round of the focus of the Premier League match!

It's just a pity that Scolari's many offensive tactics developed before the game have not yet been fully developed, and Chelsea has suffered bad news!

In a corner kick defense, Bosingwa unfortunately took an own goal in the chaos and sent the ball into his own gate. Only 10 minutes into the game, Chelsea fell behind at home!

Benitez, who was also satisfied with his mentality by taking a point away from home, after accidentally took the lead, of course he set up the bus more closely! Defending one point may turn into a three-pointer, but Master Bei feels happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth on the sidelines makes Scolari very uncomfortable!

Facts have proved that the tactician Benitez has been studying Chelsea's game videos recently. From the 10th minute when Liverpool took the lead, all of them returned to the half court and gathered heavy troops in the middle to set up layers of defense!

Chelsea's offensive tactics in the middle were firmly blocked by a big wall in front. The two forwards Anelka and Kalu were all lost in the muscle jungle in the Liverpool penalty area!

And because the wing assaulter is only Malouda, under the protection of Liverpool full-backs and other midfielders, Malouda has no achievements on the wing in this game. The entire Chelsea offensive system, Under such a tight iron barrel formation in Liverpool, it was completely divided!

Countless offensive rounds, almost impossible to penetrate the ball into the dangerous area, in the end they can only helplessly choose a long shot from outside the penalty area to end!

However, the Chelsea generals in this game are not good enough for long shots. It may also be because the Liverpool frontcourt players used tireless running on the defensive end to give Chelsea midfielders a lot of pressure to hold the ball. Chelsea, who held 60% of the ball in the game, finished 17 shots in total, but only had 2 shots on goal. The conversion rate of shots on target was horrible, and he could only lose 0 to 1 at home to Liverpool, and the team's first defeat of the season!

In fact, it is no wonder that Scolari prefers to use his fellow Beletti in the game. In tough battles, Beletti will almost always be arranged on the bench to act as a surprise soldier!

Because as a Brazilian, Beletti can not only contribute to the defensive end, but when the team needs it, Beletti can also be a guest full-back, or even a full-back, as a wide attacker!

In this game against Liverpool, Scolari, who was eager to strengthen his wing breakthrough ability, was replaced by Belletti in the 60th minute of the game and played a cameo as a winger! However, this change did not achieve the expected effect. After all, the central defender goes to play on the wing, and you can't ask him to instantly become a world-class wing player!

Yang Feng can only watch his teammates fight for 90 minutes on the field like the majority of Chinese fans at home, and firmly occupy the advantage on the field, but he can only swallow the result of defeat!

The next day, because the team lost in such an important game, the Chelsea team did not have the usual vacation after the match day, full training! The players do not dare to complain too much! Football is like this. The winner is the king and the loser is Kou. The result is the most important. Those who lose have no right to ask for more!

However, Scolari himself obviously hasn't adjusted from yesterday's disappointed and angry state, watching the training situation with a gloomy face on the sidelines! Occasionally, because of the player's mistakes, he roared and criticized it!

During the training interval, Yang Feng heard the gossip from his teammates. It is said that after losing the game, Scolari went to the management to have a big fight and has been complaining about the team’s summer transfer window. Did not bring back enough available players, especially wide players!

And Yang Feng unfortunately became the target of Scolari’s anger for a while. After all, 11 million pounds, Yang Feng bought back was not in Scolari’s plan, but it cost the team valuable The transfer fee caused Robinho's transfer to fail!

Even though the management has repeatedly emphasized the importance of Yang Feng for the future of the team, Scolari still insisted on delegating Yang Feng to the reserve team!

Yang Feng suffered from the disaster of pond fish in this way. He usually just came to the reserve team to play games. This time, he simply couldn't participate in the training of the first team systematically!

In the next Chelsea game, even in a double match a week, because four central defenders had enough rotation, Yang Feng was not recalled to the first team. After losing to Liverpool, Chelsea quickly adjusted the team's state. They defeated the league third 3-0 in the away game, the dark polo team Hull City, and the black cat Sunderland 5-0 at home!

In the victory over Hull City, Lampard opened the home team's iron barrel with a long shot in just three minutes and helped Chelsea take the lead! In the second half, Anelka's goal in the counterattack and Malouda's shot from the wing successfully sealed Chelsea's 3-0 victory, closely following the top Liverpool!

In the subsequent game against Sunderland, Anelka went down to the world in the game, staged a hat-trick, continued his excellent competitive state, and firmly pressed Drogba, who had returned from injury, on the bench. ! The other two goals were Alex's header for Chelsea in 30 minutes, and Lampard's long-range shot before the end of the game!

For Scolari, there are two outstanding and hot forwards, as well as many powerful midfielders. Even if Essien’s midfielder is injured, Mikel will also sweep the midfield, and the defense is even more effective. Invincible, goalkeeper Cech is even more stable! Now, the most lacking in the lineup puzzle may be a few wide players to enrich the offensive tactics!

Although the youth training director and reserve coach recommended a few English wing players, Scolari still appreciates the combination of speed and technology more than the rough English guy who has only rough skills and only speed and body. Fast sideways! Stick to the winter transfer window, buy wing players, and fight for honor in the league and the Champions League battlefield!
