Football’s First Defender

At Wembley Stadium, Chelsea celebrated the team's first championship of the season amidst the cheers of the Blues fans at the scene!

The exhaustion of continuous battles and the frailty after many strong confrontations, with the arrival of this championship, for the Chelsea players all disappeared!

Chelsea players, just need to cheer to your heart's content at this time! Cheer for the champion you won through continuous efforts!

Regarding the schedule after Chelsea, the most important thing may be the next Champions League semi-final! The first leg of the Champions League semi-final will be played after 10 days.

Chelsea coach Hiddink, before the FA Cup final, has informed the players that they can have a short, relaxing and pleasant holiday after the final to restore the players' physical and mental state after consecutive games!

On the scene of the championship celebration, Yang Feng naturally followed the order of the players in the Chelsea team, holding up the FA Cup trophy and taking pictures! Stroking the first trophy of the season at close range, Yang Feng also felt incredible for his game experience this season!

At the initial transfer, Yang Feng just wanted to come to the larger stage of the Premier League early, just planning to learn from some of the defensive seniors in the team and accumulate his own strength, even Yang Feng had already done it in his heart and was tempered by foreign renting. Preparation! As a result, things are fickle. A few months ago, Yang Feng, who could not even play a ball under Scolari, has now become the absolute main force of Chelsea! As the main central defender, this half of the season with Chelsea on all sides!

Of course, Yang Feng knew in his heart that as the "fire fighting" coach Hiddink will inevitably leave next season, he still has to face direct competition with Carvalho, Alex and others!

Yang Feng still needs to use his continuous good performance to determine his position in the team, show his strength and potential, and win the recognition of the new coach next season!

After the championship celebration on the spot, Hiddink also gave his players a full two-day holiday in accordance with the previous agreement!

Although the weekend’s league is around the corner, Hiddink has decided to prepare for this game, send substitutes and reserve players, just walk through the field!

Chelsea’s main players also have important rotation players. The task at this time is to ensure their rest time, adjust their personal game state, and recharge for the Champions League semi-final that will start 10 days later!

In the weekend's game, it was not surprising that Chelsea, composed of substitutes and reserve players, did not continue their winning streak in the league on the away game! In the end, Chelsea drew 0-0 and also had no fighting spirit, ranking the toffee Everton in the middle of the league!

The game between the two sides was very boring, and even many fans who watched the live broadcast just watched the live broadcast for a while and silently turned off the TV!

Then ushered in the fast-paced game of the Premier League, the 35th round of the game also arrived as scheduled. In this game, Hiddink once again chose to rotate players, only to let a few main players come to look for the state of the game at the end of the second half of the game, but Chelsea, which is dominated by substitute players, still relied on strength in the end. 1-0 victory over the Hammers to help West Ham United! It can be seen that today's Premier League, although it is a prosperous age, is only relative to the previous giants. For other teams, the gap with the four giants at this time is still very different!

The victory in this game also ensured that Chelsea had secured the top three in the league three rounds ahead of schedule, and won the Champions League next season's group stage. There is no need to prepare for the Champions League play-offs like the fourth Arsenal!

In fact, the 7-point gap in the league is not impossible to catch up with 5 rounds left in the game. Chelsea also have different opinions before the game, but Hiddink himself believes that the first place is the more stable the later the league. Manchester United, and there is the second Liverpool without a Champions League mission. Hiddink didn't think he might have a chance to miss, so he gave up!

Facts have proved that the performance of Liverpool and Manchester United is indeed stable. Chelsea's points gap has no chance to be reduced!

And after these two irrelevant Premier League matches, Chelsea ushered in the Champions League this season, the most important round of the series test, direct strong dialogue with Barcelona in the two rounds!

In the Champions League semi-finals of the 08/09 season, after confirming that the opponent of Chelsea in the semi-finals is Guardiola's Barcelona, ​​Yang Feng's own memory has already remembered the general direction of the past life history!

Perhaps for the whole course of the two rounds of matches, even if Yang Feng really watched the live broadcast at the time, it was a long time since, and now the memory of those two matches is not very clear!

However, in the second round of the "Stamford Bridge Massacre" between the two teams, the referee Henning had many controversial penalties in the game, but Yang Feng remembered very clearly!

Let alone whether in the second round of the game, the referee Henning missed a few penalty kicks in the penalty area for Chelsea during the game. It was in the last moments of the game, Barcelona's Iniesta, that wonderful long-range world wave lore Chelsea is indeed a classic lore in the history of the Champions League!

But after that, in Chelsea's last attack, Ballack made a handball foul by Barcelona player Eto'o within the penalty area, but was ignored by the referee on duty close at hand, and Ballack opened his arms afterwards. , With a hideous face, follow the referee stubbornly, and almost embrace the anger of the referee who ran halftime. It is also a classic picture in the history of the Champions League that cannot be ignored!

"That is to say, in this round of the series, we might be hacked?" Yang Feng only remembers the classic pictures. It is really unclear about the overall trend of this round of the series and the big score!

Of course, with the addition of Yang Feng, the butterfly, how much the two teams will play in this series of matches, may not be exactly the same as in history!

But Barcelona is this year's Champions League champion, and created an unprecedented "six crowns" feat, Yang Feng clearly remember this!

Yang Feng doesn't know whether Chelsea can stop Barcelona from winning the championship because of their own "butterfly". But be careful of being interrupted by the referee, and at the last moment, you must rush out to defend Xiaobai Iniesta's long shot. Yang Feng remembers it really!

Yang Feng, he didn't want his teammate Barack to become the second in history once again, and he didn't want Barack to reproduce the helpless expression in his previous life after he did not award a penalty kick this year!

Beijing time, in the early morning of April 29, in the Champions League semi-finals of the 08/09 season, Chelsea played away to Camp Nou in the first leg of the match and challenged the thriving Barcelona!

Now this Barcelona has not been crowned the most important Champions League champion of the six crowns. Although in terms of strength, the team under Guardiola is close to the peak, but the strength of the lineup is purely compared, and the defensive ability of the midfielders is obvious. Chelsea, the champion of Europe, may be on the defensive end, and it is most likely to contain Barcelona's pass-control attack team!

This round of the series is also predicted by most media as a direct struggle between spear and shield!

However, Chelsea faced a very real problem in the first leg of the match. The team’s main left-back, Ashley Cole, who was almost full in the season, received a yellow card in the previous second leg match with Liverpool. The game will be suspended due to accumulated yellow cards!

After Hiddink's entanglement, in the position of left-back, he did not risk the use of newcomers in such a critical game, but let Bosingwa come to the left to play a left-back!

At the Nou Camp! Hiddink has put on the lowest posture. The requirement for the team is to do a good job in defense, even if it is a defensive counterattack. In fact, Hiddink has said that he wants to reduce it to a minimum and seize the best counterattack opportunities!

For example, Drogba, who played a single striker in this game, in the usual games, even in the face of Arsenal, Liverpool, a team with strong offensive strength, Drogba has the privilege not to participate in the defense, concentrate Fight back and contain it!

But in this game, in order to increase interference with Barcelona's ball-handling personnel, even Drogba himself, in Hiddink's tactics, must participate in the Chelsea midfield defense!

Chelsea in this game is to report to keep the tie, bring the big score of the game back to Stamford Bridge, and then find a way to win the tactical purpose of the game on their home court!

Hiddink's 451 defensive formation is exactly the same as the FA Cup defensive formation facing Arsenal! Even due to Drogba's back defense, the defensive ability of this lineup is even better!

It's just that Bosingwa is going to the left to replace the left back in this game, and Ivanovic is playing the right back!

The rest of the staff and locations have not changed!

Mikel and Essien, these two sweeping defensive midfielders, once again joined forces in this game to ensure their team's midfield defense!

As for Deco who returned to the Nou Camp, he can only be on the bench, waiting to see if he has a chance to come off the bench and prove himself again at the Nou Camp!

At home in Barcelona, ​​the coach Guardiola finally chose the most suitable 433 pass control system for his team!

The former King of Highbury, Henry the Great, paired with Cameroon cheetah Eto'o, and Messi, the successor of the Argentine football king, formed the offensive end of the Barcelona frontcourt, the luxurious offensive trident envied by the world!

The three midfielders are Iniesta and Harvey, the core of the offensive organization produced by the youth academy in Barcelona, ​​as well as Yaya Toure, who is tall and strong in offense and defense! Guardiola chose a more offensive midfield configuration combination! The offensive determination is evident!

As for Barcelona's defense, team captain Puyol did not heal from some minor injuries in the previous game, and also to prepare for the weekend and Real Madrid's national derby. This game is just sitting on the bench on standby, and Max replaced him as the starter. Central defender!

The partner is Pique, the left back is Abidal, and the right back is Brazilian Alves!

The goalkeeper is Valdes, who has always been stable!

Unlike Chelsea, Barcelona can just give up the league and concentrate on preparing for the game! At this stage, Barcelona is only 4 points ahead of rivals Real Madrid with five rounds in La Liga, and in the middle of the two Champions League matches, it is the Spanish national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid!

If Real Madrid can overthrow Barcelona in the away game, then there is a gap of 1 point and there are still 4 rounds of matches. Real Madrid may not be irreversible!

Now Chelsea’s biggest hope is that Real Madrid can spend as much of Barcelona’s energy and attention as possible for themselves during the weekend game!

As for another Champions League semi-final, the Premier League civil war! Compared with the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, which is quite different in strength, the whole world is obviously paying more attention to the fateful match between Barcelona and Chelsea!

The two teams had already forged a beam in the Mourinho era a few years ago!

At that time Chelsea and Barcelona met in the Champions League knockouts for two consecutive years! Due to the issue of the penalty scale, Mourinho has a lot of grievances against the referee and Barcelona!

Mourinho even left the classic saying "11 on 11, I have never lost to Barcelona!"

This is the first direct confrontation between the two sides in the post-Mourinho era, and it is also in such an important Champions League semi-final!

Although Mourinho no longer coaches Chelsea this season~www.NovelMTL.com~ But Chelsea's starting main body is still the same people! They have always had the most hostile attitude towards Barcelona!

"The 08/09 season, the Champions League semi-finals, is about to begin! In this game, Barcelona, ​​who sits at home, chose a more aggressive starting lineup. It seems to be at home to gain a greater advantage!"

Yang Feng is very excited now on the court! Although he followed Zenit last season, he also played in the semi-finals, finals and even the final win of European competitions!

But the European Cup, compared with the Champions League, is really different!

You should know that the players in the lineup of Barcelona, ​​which are opposite now, are all Real Madrid fans, Yang Feng, a rival player who hates it!

Everyone, even if they are not all Barcelona historical legends, has made a name for themselves in world football! Being able to compete with them now, and even being considered one of them, is full of magic for Yang Feng himself!

Especially the young Messi in the opposing Barcelona lineup! After Barcelona decided to use Messi as the core of the offensive end, they also cleaned a bunch of past meritorious players and gave them their place! (For the human touch, European giants are always the big brothers, not to mention the second brothers, except for the big international! It's not wrong to watch less football, and some sprays are really enough!)

The ten-year Merlot era is the theme of football in the future! Peerless double pride, contemporary football king, Yang Feng does not know what kind of threat Messi, who is at his peak, will pose to his team in this game!

What Yang Feng can do is to do his best to complete the team's defensive goals, to limit Barcelona's offensive firepower, to strive for every goal, so that Barcelona's offense cannot pass his own defensive area!
