Football’s First Defender

The lack of a match in the fourteenth round of the league does not affect Chelsea's championship momentum this season!

After all, the league is a long one. You can’t keep every player in the best condition for 38 rounds. No matter how strong the team is, you can’t win 38 consecutive victories. Even in the face of underdogs, many European giants, each Which team must not be upset a few games this season!

This is the charm of football. There are differences between strengths and weaknesses, but football is round, and the weak are not necessarily going to catch it!

As far as Scolari is concerned, the effect of taking the risk of using right back Ivanovic to come to the central defender in the game is still good. At least some of the professional media people who saw the list before the game are Yang Feng’s complaints and watch after the game. It is a good thing that Ivanovic chose to shut up until Ivanovic had a good performance in the central defender position!

In the UEFA Champions League group stage that continued in the middle of the week, Scolari simply let Ivanovic take turns to let the young central defender of the reserve team play the Champions League game!

Although Bordeaux's strength is limited, after all, at their home court, the resistance of the French Ligue 1 team is particularly fierce. Chelsea firmly control the dominance of the game, but they cannot seal the victory after a lead!

In the end, the Bordeaux striker tied the score with a long shot, and the game ended 1-1. Chelsea won another draw in the Champions League group stage!

In the Premier League that continues over the weekend, Chelsea will meet the challenge of the same city team Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the 15th round of the league!

This kind of giants showdown naturally attracts the audience's attention. Although Arsenal performed extremely well in the first few rounds of the season, the ups and downs of Arsenal's performance on the court this season, which are dominated by young people, are really too great, and there is serious uncertainty in their performance! After winning a few games at the beginning of the season, Arsenal fell into an invincible cycle. Not only is it 10 points behind the top team, but it even slipped to sixth place!

Before this game, because Alex's physical condition test had not yet recovered to the best, Scolari considered again and again, and still sent Ivanovic to play as the right center back in the fifteenth round of the game!

Since Ivanovic performed well at the central defender in the last round, Scolari naturally continued to catch the ducks on the shelves, allowing Ivanovic to continue to show his versatility!

It's just that Scolari imagined it very well, but he didn't consider Newcastle and Arsenal at all. They are not at the same level!

Even Arsenal's recent state is very bad, but the lean camel is bigger than Marathon. Arsenal's foundation has always been offensive, it is beautiful offensive football!

Perhaps facing the iron barrels of many teams, and some strong teams with world-class defenses, these young people have little choice. Sometimes they fall into the defensive trap of their opponents, but they face a cameo. The player who came to the central defender position, the Arsenal striker Sa Huan came to attack Ivanovic!

Although in the away game, Wenger put up a 532 lineup as soon as he came up, hoarding heavy troops in the center and back, starting from the defense to prevent Chelsea from easily attacking and passing down, and put Van Persie and Adebayor at the front Power forward, a serious threat to Chelsea's defense!

In this game, Arsenal's tactic is to give up some possession of the ball, and instead rely on defensive counterattacks like most ordinary Premier League teams to catch Chelsea's mistakes in qualifying and strive to kill!

Chelsea has 60% possession of the ball, which shows that Chelsea once again take the ball frequently to organize positional attacks. This also means that Chelsea will face more frequent counterattacks from opponents!

In the game, whether it is Adebayor or Van Persie, whenever there is a chance to counterattack, the first choice is to hit Ivanovic's side!

Ivanovic’s explosive power is a flawed injury, and Ivanovic, who is a full-back, is different from the defensive theory accepted by orthodox central defenders!

Regarding the choice of position and the cooperation with teammates, there is obviously a lack of understanding!

These shortcomings, in the game against Newcastle, because of the lack of personal ability of Newcastle players, they could not be effectively targeted!

But Van Persie and Adebayor, world-class forwards, want to seize Ivanovic’s weaknesses not too simple!

From the first counterattack, Arsenal’s team members, in the course of the counterattack, were looking for the junction of Terry and Ivanovic, so that the two of them were in a panic and acted in unaccompanied ways. It will directly cause too much opportunity, but it will indeed tear Chelsea’s defense line, causing greater loopholes, dripping through the rocks, not necessarily every time it can cause absolute threats and opportunities, as long as there is a probability, you can find opportunities to break Chelsea’s door!

In fact, Chelsea was once close to winning the game during the game. Because of John Juru, in the 30th minute with an own goal, Chelsea, who had no way to break the close formation, got a 1-0 lead!

Sit on the home court and still hold a goal lead. Although there are hidden dangers due to injuries at the back line, Chelsea’s midfielder is really too strong and strong enough. At the end of halftime, no one would think that the entry was in bad shape. Arsenal can retreat at Stamford Bridge!

However, the situation changed suddenly in the second half! Van Persie tried the entire first half, and after figuring out Ivanovic's defensive routines, he showed his killer qualities in the second half!

In the 59th, 62nd, and 3 minutes of the game, Van Persie scored twice and helped Arsenal surpass the score 2-1 away!

Ivanovic has been the backdrop for Van Persie’s wonderful goals twice in a row!

Every time, when defending in an uncomfortable position, Ivanovic always feels a little confused, unsuitable, lack of running position and driving range, and inability to cooperate with teammates to block space!

Arsenal’s tactics are successful. At such a critical moment, Ivanovic has always become a breakthrough in Chelsea’s defense. Van Persie’s two goals completely knocked Ivanovic back to the mortal and let Scolari Face sweeping!

Seeing such a bad performance of Ivanovic on the field, Scolari had to make a substitution adjustment immediately, replacing Ivanovic with Alex!

In fact, when Van Persie scored the first goal, Scolari had a bad premonition, but before this substitution was completed, Van Persie had already scored the second goal in lightning speed!

Chelsea was at home and was actually reversed!

In the subsequent game, although Chelsea woke up like a dream and used the advantage of the home court to continue the siege of Arsenal, the offensive players still did not recover to their best condition, with 16 shots, 14 shots and no shooting boots. Chelsea players can only watch their opponents in the same city and celebrate their victory at their home court!

There is no doubt that the focus of media coverage after the game is of course Ivanovic's use problem, and coach Scolari's stubborn choice of employment!

In the last round of the game, although Chelsea did not win the game, the 0-0 score also made Ivanovic's performance not as unbearable as this game!

In the last game, many media faced Ivanovic, who was still blocking Newcastle, and the arrangement of this obviously arrogant staff, there was no way to question!

But this game was reversed 2-1, and the media can finally confidently and boldly raise their confusion and disagreement with the position of the central defender!

Everyone understands that Yang Feng, as the main central defender of the UEFA Cup champion team last season, is absolutely capable of playing in the Premier League. Perhaps at the beginning of the season, you can say that Yang Feng has many equally outstanding fronts, even better than Yang Feng is even more outstanding and the more experienced central defender choice!

However, in the last two rounds of the game, it was obvious that the position of the central defender was short of staff. Due to factors outside the field, Yang Feng was restricted from playing and he was sent to the reserve team!

Many media are getting information from Chelsea's internal sources. Scarari is wrestling with the team's top team, using the method of suppressing Yang Feng to force the top to submit! But this kind of behavior that delays players, does Scolari do not pay too much attention to his players!

After the game, on the one hand, there are news reports on the event, but in all major media discussion sections, they are all about Scolari's discussion about Yang Feng's decentralization of the reserve team and the price paid in order to fight for power. Have you considered The team's performance, and the reaction of the fans!

Although it is a high-sounding refutation of rumors, Chelsea officially issued a statement saying that there is no problem within the team, and there is no conflict between the head coach and the management. Everyone is just for the better of the team. As for Yang Feng being transferred to the reserve team, it is simply the ball. The needs of the team and the necessary stage for Yang Feng's future development!

Although there are many media, in order to pick things up, at this time, they made a special trip to the reserve team to guard Yang Feng, hoping to get some revelations from him!

But Yang Feng also understands that although he and the coach can't urinate in the same pot now, they must not dismantle the club's station. At this time, speaking to the media will definitely put the club at an absolute disadvantage!

As a professional player, Yang Feng, of course, understands that some things can only be solved behind closed doors! Instead of making it public!

Next, facing some good news interviews and inquiries from British reporters, Yang Feng used Tai Chi to the extreme, that is, to avoid the importance of it, and to avoid the important thing. When encountering inquiries about Scolari, he cleverly avoided or turned away. aspect! When encountering the recent situation of the club, it is perfect. I believe the team will get better!

Anyway, Pian'er Tang talked a big push, Yang Feng fooled all these reporters!

Without the cooperation of the parties, and the Chelsea team has been interviewed in a limited amount of time by high-level requests. Many people who eat melons are not satisfied, and the big scene in imagination has not come out!

Yang Feng is still playing in the reserve team, continuing his perfect defensive performance, while Chelsea is in greater trouble!

Although after being reversed by Arsenal, Chelsea defeated Bolton 2-0 in the 16th round of the league! The goals from Anelka and Deco put Chelsea's offense back on track!

And Alex’s complete recovery finally allowed Scolari to send a normal combination of central defenders, so he no longer has to suffer from the media’s constant inquiries about “why let Ivanovic play central defender without Yang Feng”!

But inside Chelsea, there is actually some strange atmosphere permeating! For the Brazilian coach who is cronyism, and has repeatedly reduced the control of the center players, and constantly emphasized the tactical concept of wing attack, many people actually have different opinions in their hearts!

In the 17th round of the league, Chelsea played at Stamford Bridge against the fourth-worst West Ham team in the league! The goal of the Hammers this season is to relegation, but facing the Chelsea team of the championship group, when it was still away, in everyone’s impression, the Hammers, who conceded nearly 2 goals per game, could retain their face and lose a few. All are lucky!

However, the result is that Chelsea's fascination at home, let go of the 3 points that should have been held!

West Ham United relied on Craig Bellamy's speed to forcibly waded the goal completed by Alex and successfully took the lead in the first half ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and brought the lead into the second half!

In the second half of the game, although Anelka scored a goal at the beginning to equalize the score, Chelsea has been unable to play in the subsequent games!

Even though Drogba and Anelka were once replaced as a double center forward, they hit hard, but in the face of the defense of the Hammers, Chelsea could not help it!

With 23 feet on the goal and just scoring one goal, Chelsea once again appeared in such an overwhelming and scoreless scene! Scolari's training of the team on the offensive end has disappointed the fans a bit!

Fans spend money to watch the game, not their own team, they can't win every time they face the underdogs!

Although in the standings, because Liverpool also lost the chain, Chelsea ranked second by one point! But the terrible chasing behind him is the most troublesome!

Manchester United, who is aiming to win the league's triple crown, is only 6 points behind the leader Liverpool in one game less! The Premier League championship group has changed from the two tigers to the three countries hegemony!

The league continues, entering December, the Premier League schedule has become more dense! Chelsea traveled non-stop to Merseyside to challenge Toffee Everton!

As a perennial mid-range team in the Premier League, Everton has always acted as a league spoiler!

This time, sitting at the Goodison Park Stadium at home, Toffee has no mercy!

An iron barrel was tightly placed, and most of Chelsea's offense was resolved one by one!

And because of captain Terry, in the last moment of the first half, the opponent made too big a counterattack, and was directly shown a red card. Chelsea's offense was even more stagnant because of less than one player!

In the end Everton did not pursue the three-pointer too much. The score of 0 to 0 was maintained to the midfield. Chelsea, who had tied for two consecutive games, were in huge trouble!
