Chapter 180 Terrible Defense!

In fact, the current styles of Southampton and Chelsea are a bit similar, they both focus on defensive counterattacks and frontcourt pressing, but Chelsea has achieved the ultimate in this aspect, and Southampton is obviously far behind.

But Southampton also has an advantage, that is, in terms of midfield creativity, Yunfei can blow up this group of players. Even Joe Cole, known as the English magician, is also a player who breaks through the organization, not a pure organization midfielder.

So if Southampton wants to win here, they must see Yunfei's performance, which is why Mourinho wants Makelele to stare at Yunfei.

Time passed quickly, and with the whistle of the referee, this much-watched game began!

Southampton, who took the lead to kick off, tried to control the ball at the beginning of the game, and the continuous backcourt inversions went very smoothly.

Chelsea, on the other hand, did not choose the previous pressing in the frontcourt. Instead, they calmly followed Southampton's pass and moved left and right, looking in no hurry.

Requiring the team to keep the ball under their feet was a sudden request from the head coach Redknapp before the game. After seeing that the opponent had come up with a lineup with obvious attacking intentions, Redknapp obviously sensed the danger.It is impossible to defend firmly. Only by keeping the ball under your feet as much as possible can you prevent the opponent from getting the opportunity to attack as much as possible.

But this is also very dangerous. Once the pass is wrong, it may be fatal!

After 2 minutes of the game, Chelsea made a sudden effort, and Makelele suddenly went up to scare Yunfei. After noticing the opponent's intention to grab the ball, Yunfei returned the ball to Prudton behind him. At this time, Lampard and Duff suddenly wrapped up one left and one right, disrupting Prudton's position at once. Although Prudton tried to clear the ball directly, he still failed!

Duff successfully got the ball from Pluton's feet, and then rushed directly to the empty center of Southampton's penalty area!
On the other side, Suleman had no choice but to rush to defend. At this time, Duff sent the ball to the side lightly, and Lampard, who followed up, took a furious shot from 20 yards away from the goal!

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, but it had already forced the goalkeeper to make a save!
At this moment, Yunfei, who had been running back, stopped. He realized that the Chelsea team had too much experience in the game. Regarding the team's ball possession tactics, they could countermeasures. There are really too many countermeasures.

Obviously, Southampton is fully prepared, and so is Chelsea, and their preparations for the game must be more comprehensive than Southampton.

This time, the sudden counterattack in the frontcourt caused the Southampton players to be cautious when passing the ball. Under such circumstances, Yunfei could only reach out for the ball frequently, and pass the ball better through himself.

But in this way, it is easy to attract Makelele's attention, so Yunfei always keeps a close eye on this defensive champion, not daring to relax for a moment!

However, Yunfei's frequent catches gave Makelele a chance. The moment Yunfei caught the ball again, Makelele rushed up like a ghost, and his strong body squeezed against Yunfei's body.

Subconsciously, Yunfei stretched out his hand and dragged Makelele behind him, and leaned against the opponent's body, firmly controlling the ball with his right foot, not giving Makelele a chance to grab the ball!

This was the first direct confrontation between the two of them in this game, and it turned out that neither of them took any advantage. The huge pressure Makelele put on Yunfei made him unable to complete the turn, and he could only try his best to protect the ball. But in turn, Makelele had no way to snatch the ball from Yunfei's feet. Even if Lampard came to help, he couldn't snatch the ball.

The first time he saw Lampard coming up, Yunfei stretched out his foot and passed the ball directly to the wing, and passed it to Jones on the wing smoothly.

In other people's eyes, Yunfei didn't have the time or the conditions to see Jones on the wing. He even passed the ball with his head down, but he found his teammates accurately. This operation may be even more amazing than when he didn't concede the ball under Makelele's pressure!

When Mourinho saw this scene, his eyes lit up. At that moment, he seemed to see his former favorite Deco.Chelsea now lacks such a role that can sort out the team's offense in the frontcourt. Unfortunately, a low-key and unpretentious organizational midfielder like Deco is really rare.

Deco is in the midfield, can attack and defend, with balanced left and right feet, accurate passing, wide vision, especially the through kick, always able to find loopholes in the opponent's defense.If you look at the current Chelsea, look left and right, no one can play the role of Deco. Joe Cole is also a master who is ineffective at times.

"It seems that there is a reason why Southampton performed so well this season!" Mourinho whispered to himself.

Although he had learned a lot about Yunfei's characteristics when preparing for the battle, it was the British Championship after all.Only if you can show a stable performance in this kind of game, can it explain some problems.

Unconsciously, in the next game, Mourinho paid more attention to Yunfei's performance.

……

The game on the field was still going on. After receiving the pass from Yunfei, Jones looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Facing Del Horno, he took the ball and prepared to speed up and pass the opponent directly.

Don't say it, this may be the best way to deal with this opponent. Compared with another full-back, Del Horno is slower and his body is not so strong. Facing Jones, who is strong and fast, Del Horno was completely left behind by Jones after he failed to gain the upper hand in a physical confrontation.Fortunately, Chelsea captain Terry saw clearly from behind, took a big step, and cleared the ball out of the touchline in time!
Compared with Terry's body, the muscles on Jones' body are not so impressive. Jones even has a little bit of fear. When Terry passed in front of him just now, the power made him feel that if he directly collided with Terry, he might be knocked into the air.

His premonition was obviously well-founded, and then Southampton started the sideline ball. Jones and Yunfei cooperated on the sideline, helping Jones get rid of Del Horno's defense and enter the penalty area.

However, as soon as he entered the penalty area, Jones felt that he had knocked down a wall and fell directly to the ground.The ball was easily taken directly by Terry in front of him.

This is the captain of Chelsea. If you want to break through the gate of Chelsea, you must cross this mountain!
