Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 698

Of course, Zhang Yuan’s task today will not be easy. Chelsea’s defense is relatively solid, and the central defenders are relatively strong in physical fitness. Zhang Yuan will consume a lot of energy as a forward striker against them. .

For Chelsea, the absence of Lampard and Terry in the main lineup has caused a lot of trouble for Di Matteo.

Today he sent a rather weird lineup.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Ivanovic, Cahill, Louis, Ashley Cole

Midfielder: Mikel Ramirez, Azpilicueta
Forward: Mata Oscar Hazard

Azpilicueta is a defender, but DiMatteo used him in the midfield, but this is a helpless move. Chelsea has reached this point, and it is completely okay to say that Abrahimovic has unshirkable responsibility , This summer, his continuous reinforcements are all offensive players in the frontcourt, but not in the midfield. In the end, Di Matteo has no one to use.

On the front line, Di Matteo pushed Hazard to the front line. The reason is that Torres' state is really bad. Di Matteo has lost confidence in him, and Juventus' defense is weak in physical confrontation. There is no lack of strength. The three small and fast players on Di Matteo still want to cause trouble for Juventus through exquisite foot coordination and breakthroughs.

Louis saw Zhang Yuan in the player tunnel. This Zhang Yuan made him miserable last time. This time he has secretly made up his mind not to make Zhang Yuan feel better.

Zhang Yuan also caught a glimpse of him. Facing the not-so-vivid wink from Louis, Zhang Yuan responded with a slight smile, which seemed to be a friendly response, and seemed to say: "Good guy, we have met!"

Captain Terry and team deputy Lampard are not there, so Chelsea's captain for this game is Ivanovic.

Under the leadership of Buffon and Ivanovic, the two teams stepped into the Juventus Arena, mixed with boos and applause. The players will not be affected by this. Chelsea is mixed in the Premier League. Scenes don't make them for the faint of heart.

It’s just that the two young players, Oscar and Hazard, are still a little nervous. This is not the Premier League stadium, but the unfamiliar Juventus. The capacity of the Juventus Arena is not large, but it is more advanced than Stamford Bridge and many teams in the Premier League. The home court is more advanced and the momentum is relatively large. It is understandable for younger players to be nervous in such an unfamiliar environment. Zhang Yuan was also nervous at the beginning.

Taking advantage of this juncture, He Wei, the commentator of the sports station, introduced the recent situation of the two teams. Although as a commentator, he could not have any obvious bias, He Wei also said that Juventus' home court is not easy to attack. It's only been one year and it can't be called the home of the devil in Europe, but for Chelsea, which is in a bad situation recently, it is really too difficult to capture the Juventus Arena.

The advantage of Juventus is not limited to the home court. The key lies in Juventus' defense line. It is because of this non-rotation that Juventus's main lineup is obviously much better than Chelsea in terms of running-in.

The three arrows that Chelsea started today, Hazard and Oscar only got the team this summer, and Di Matteo himself didn't have much coaching time. In terms of tactics, he tried his best to implement his ideas and tried to eliminate The previous imprints have wavered in thinking, Oscar and Hazard have integrated quickly, but there are also many shortcomings.

Today's referee team is from Turkey. The referee is the famous Turkish whistler Kargil. Kargil has only whistled a Juventus game before. That game was Juventus' away game. Juventus won, and Kargil whistled There are a little more games against Chelsea, and Chelsea wins all.

The pre-match ceremony ended, Cargill blew the whistle, and the game officially started. Chelsea kicked off first. DiMatteo’s idea today was to attack. He has no way out. Even if this game is a draw, Chelsea The probability of qualifying is still small, so he has no reservations, and it is obviously more beneficial for them to speed up the pace, so he advocates counter-robbing on the spot.

Conte underestimated this point. Even though Chelsea's situation is bad, according to his thinking, you have to see what happens before you talk.

So at the beginning, Chelsea had a strong impact, and the combination of Xiao Kuailing really played a very good role. Hazard's movement was very flexible, and he cooperated well with Oscar and Mata behind him.

Juventus is not a vegetarian here either, being forced to retreat, Alessio simply asked his team to slow down the situation on the field through defense. Sometimes this strategy is necessary.

When the opponent's attack is very strong at the beginning, many teams adopt such a posture. First, they take the initiative to retreat to stabilize the defense line, and then gradually stabilize the midfield. Push it out and regain control of the initiative on the court.

At the beginning, under unexpected circumstances, the team may feel a little confused in defense. After all, the established tactics are not like this, and the players on the field may not be able to achieve unity in thinking. For example, a midfielder may want to retreat. , Another player didn't think like this when he was responding to his teammates. Maybe he didn't want to protect his teammates. Maybe he thought that after the defense intercepted, he would first occupy a favorable position and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Don’t think this is just a thought, this idea will determine his position. A team is composed of eleven people. In Juventus, any position is related to defense. Once the position is incorrect, Maybe it can be made up for, and a few more times may cause serious consequences.

Therefore, the role of the head coach is becoming more and more important, because not only is the strategy new, but the head coach also has to make timely judgments based on the situation on the field and unify the players' thinking through his own orders.

Of course, Juventus's run-in is better now, even if it is not Alessio's reminder, they are enough to deal with this situation.

Juventus began to retreat, and both Zhang Yuan and Qiao Wenke retreated to their own half. Qiao Wenke was maneuvering, his defensive ability was not good, but he was willing to run, and kept harassing the opponent's pass ball.

Zhang Yuan should take it easy. His defensive task differs from Qiao Wenke's in that Qiao Wenke is also responsible for running to meet his teammates' counter-passes, while Zhang Yuan is mainly for deterrence. His position usually chooses Between Mikel and Ramirez, distance yourself from Louis and Cahill.

He did this mainly to avoid physical confrontation with Louis and Cahill. In fact, Zhang Yuan could not have an absolute advantage in front of them when dealing with high-altitude balls. In addition, Zhang Yuan's own advantage lies in his ability to hold the ball and advance. If they all went to compete with Louis and Cahill for the ball, it would be difficult to get the ball, so where did the advancement come from.

Standing slightly between Mikel and Ramirez can not only shorten the distance with teammates and make it easier to catch the ball, but also make Mikel and Ramirez have scruples and dare not play at the same time. Pressing up puts more pressure on the Juventus defense.

Running position is actually knowledge, and you can only realize it if you are in it seriously.

Different formations require different understandings, and Zhang Yuan is obviously a master of the middle, otherwise he would not be able to score so many goals.

Mikel and Ramirez are not aware of these problems. They are called the offensive and defensive hubs today, but Di Matteo needs them to work hard to put pressure on Juventus, at least for now.

After a short period of confusion, Juventus stood firm. Chelsea's frontcourt trio moved very flexibly. They rarely caught the ball with their backs. It was actually a disaster for them. This can be compared to Giovinco. Their bodies put them at a disadvantage. Even if they stand still, it is difficult to control the ball when they are up and down in physical confrontation.

The defensive players of Juventus will not give them such opportunities, so they are basically running, but even so, it is difficult for them to find the space to shoot. The advantage of 352 is undoubtedly reflected here. The defensive width is sufficient, and the receiver will be intercepted by Juventus immediately if he stops a little farther, not to mention looking for the goal.

So don't look at Chelsea's fierce attack, but in fact the threat to Juventus is zero, and they are not willing to shoot from the outside, of course there is no way.
