Chapter 296 Robinho (59100)

In the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Chelsea's offense gradually improved, and even made two counterattacks of acceptable quality. In addition to Lampard's long shot, Drogba's header after receiving a cross Doors are also very effective.

Of course, Chelsea's main tactic is still defense, and most of the battles took place in Chelsea's half.

Compared with the first half, Chelsea's offensive investment was less, the routine was simple and simple, but it was very threatening. In defense, they even pinched Manchester City's core David Silva, preventing him from touching the ball effectively. and organization.

The two sides became very careful, Manchester City controlled the ball and attacked carefully, Chelsea tried their best to defend and looked for opportunities to counterattack carefully.

Just like two master swordsmen fighting each other, they are always carefully looking for each other's flaws, and then looking for a fatal blow.

Manchester City is leading, so naturally they are not in a hurry.

Chelsea are only one goal behind and are also in no rush.

As the main defender of Chelsea, under the constant pressure of Manchester City, the team's physical fitness is rapidly depleted.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to 64 minutes.

The running speed of individual players slowed down and began to enter a period of physical difficulty.

Especially Chelsea's two wingers, Kalou and Malouda, have to attack and defend, and the physical consumption is even greater.

Manchester City's two wings are very capable of running.

Especially on the right side, Lichtsteiner and Ljungberg belong to the type with plenty of energy and can't run to death.

Whether it is offense or defense, their attitude is conscientious and hardworking to complete every task.

This is a pain for Kalou. When attacking, the opponent is Lichtsteiner who can run. When defending, the opponent is Ljungberg who is physically strong and can run.

Although the peak period has passed, and the speed advantage he is proud of has been reduced by half, but Ljungberg's fighting spirit has continued unabated.

And unlike Lichtsteiner, an honest man, Ljungberg has a lot of cleverness, which made Kalou fall for him unconsciously.

David Silva dribbled the ball in the middle, and then made a diagonal pass. Ljungberg unloaded the football lightly, and then passed the ball. Kalou leaned over and planned to squeeze Ljungberg with his body. Berry made a sudden dunk and flicked the ball in, avoiding Kalou's defense.

Then Ljungberg passed to Lichtsteiner who was plugging in. After Lichtsteiner cut inside, he shot directly with a strong kick.This shot was powerful and heavy, like a thunderbolt, but the angle was right.

Cech in the penalty area faced this powerful long-range shot. He didn't have enough confidence to hold the ball, so he could only block the football with his fists. Don't stop the ball, draw the bow and set the arrow, and shoot as soon as you raise your foot!
Cech jumped and played the football again.

Nice save!
Although he was a background emperor in the first half, Cech is still remarkable when looking at the performance of the audience.

The one who lost the ball cannot be forced to throw the blame to him.

Cech's father has already done this, who can bear it?

At one point, Cech alone represented a line of defense.

Without scoring, Manchester City was not impatient, but still attacked patiently, looking for opportunities.

What Duncan said at halftime is still in their ears: offense is for oppression, it is best to score goals, and it is not bad to scare them to death without scoring.

So Manchester City still followed the original rhythm, under the leadership of Silva, patiently organized and planned the attack, looking for opportunities through the quadruple array in the center or the assault on the side.

Soon, Manchester City's offensive made a comeback again, this time dribbling the ball from the center, Yaya Toure's position premise, after continuous cooperation with Silva, suddenly distributed the ball to the wing, Ljungberg received the ball at the front of the penalty area, Just when he was about to start, he was tripped by Kalou.

In fact, Kalou has been following Ljungberg, but he has been following very hard. Ljungberg is not fast, but he changes directions frequently, which makes Kalou unable to keep close.

This time when receiving the ball, Ljungberg first retreated and then pressed forward, shaking Kalou a bit out of position.With no other choice, Kalou could only settle the fight with a foul.

Manchester City's free kick did not pose a threat.

Subsequent Hiddink substitutions, Robinho came on, replacing Kalou.

"After playing, you replace Kalou's defensive position and don't lose your position." Before Robinho came on the field, Hiddink told him: "Cooperate with Drogba, use your speed, penetrate the opponent's defense Defensive line! Press down on the opponent's defenders, don't let them break through too easily!"

Although Robinho was a little unhappy when he heard Hiddink let him defend at the beginning, the cyclist always had a lot of fun. Hiddink's subsequent tactical arrangements made Robinho very satisfied.

Let Drogba cooperate with me, it could not be better!

Robinho is very confident and simply interprets "cooperate with Drogba" as "let Drogba cooperate with me".

Another advantage of the cyclist is that he always puts a halo of pig feet on himself anytime, anywhere.

Of course, after Hiddink replaced Robinho, there was also a reason.

Robinho's personal ability is very strong, especially in the ability to fight alone. With the limited offensive power of Chelsea's team, Robinho's personal performance may be able to play some role.

In fact, this is also the case. Robinho spread his joy in the frontcourt, doing various moves and cycling, just like a child who likes to juggle.He alone turned Manchester City's defense upside down.

Except forgetting to shoot.

Robinho would always take the ball into a dead end and then give the ball to Manchester City.

Later, under the reminder of Hiddink, he finally remembered that he still had a task, which was to let Drogba cooperate with him.

Robinho tried to pass the ball to Drogba, but there was a lack of tacit understanding between the two. Robinho tried his best to pass the ball, but Drogba would always miss it.

And Manchester City's defensive system is particularly solid. Robinho's passing attributes are probably lower than Cech's, making it even more difficult to find a suitable passing route.

And because of the need to cooperate with Robinho's advance, Chelsea's formation can't help but follow the premise, so it's hard to say whether Robinho's playing has brought benefits or disadvantages to Chelsea.

At least in Ljungberg's view, the appearance of Robinho made his situation easier to handle.

Before Kalou was there, Kalou was a player with good speed but mediocre talent, only one thing Kalou did very well.He knew that his strength was not good enough, so he firmly hugged Drogba's big thick leg, and often played around Drogba to cooperate. Under this style of play, Kalou himself would often have a good performance.

Robinho is different. He is very capable, but he doesn't have much interaction with Drogba. He just needs to defend Robinho's breakthrough.
