I Want to Be the King of Football

The latest website: From the second half, Chelsea encountered a problem.

That is, the protection of the double midfielder on the defense line is no longer so tight.

One of the two midfielders, Meireles and Mikel, will always press forward, making the protection at the front of the penalty area vulnerable. As a result, top scorers like Su Dong can often get more space.

It looks very similar to what happened against Bayern.

Before conceding the ball, Di Matteo even wondered if he should replace another midfielder with two players in front of his back line to protect him, so as to suppress Manchester City's second-half tactical adjustment problems?

But the back line does not move, and there are only three people in the midfield. If you want to change it, you must change the frontcourt.

Ramirez wanted to suppress Marcelo and did a good job throughout the game, so he definitely couldn't change it; Drogba wanted to suppress Manchester City's double central defender. He was the team's last hope in the frontcourt. Don't you want to tell the world that Chelsea will not attack?

Then it can only be replaced by Juan Mata.

Juan Mata was the initiator of the attack that Di Matteo had set up, but it didn't work out very well, and he didn't produce a satisfactory performance, and his replacement looked like a deserved one.

However, the problem lies here.

Chelsea only had one shot in the whole game, and it is difficult to advance the attack itself. If Juan Mata is replaced, it will be even more difficult to advance the ball. Can you expect Lampard to send a good pass for Drogba in front ?

It can be said that if Juan Mata is replaced, Chelsea's attack will be almost cut off.

The situation is such a situation, Di Matteo is hesitating whether to change people, how to change them.

But just when he hesitated, Su Dong scored!

For Di Matteo, this goal came a bit suddenly, because he was not ready and hesitating, which completely disrupted his plans and deployments.

When Manchester City players rushed out of the pitch to celebrate Sudong's goal, Di Matteo scolded Sudong secretly in his heart, because the damn guy caught Chelsea's loophole, but more regretted it.

He had already seen the crux of the problem, because it was not the first time that problems had been exposed in front of Chelsea's defense. Sudong, Di Maria and Sanchez had already had the ball in this area several times in the second half, and no one had gone to mark in time.

It's just that he failed to pose a threat a few times before, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But this time, Su Dong scored!

How to do?

Di Matteo touched his bald head behind him, a little embarrassed, a little nervous, and a little flustered.

Next door, in front of Manchester City's coach, Guardiola raised his hands and cheered. Even Di Matteo could hear the voice clearly. He was praising Su Dong and said he scored a wonderful goal. .

Immediately afterwards, Guardiola turned and walked to the bench, and then, Hazard took off his jacket and ran out to warm up, which immediately made Di Matteo even more nervous.

Hemp egg, this is trying to get in trouble!

Italians have been wondering, will Guardiola replace Hazard?

The Belgian winger's ability to dribble through the ball is very strong, and his ability to hold the ball is also quite good. If he is on the pitch, Chelsea's intensive defense will face even more pressure.

Di Matteo even wondered if Guardiola had already thought about this move and just deliberately let Di Maria come up to consume Ivanovic and Chelsea's defenders?

But now, time has not allowed him to think about it slowly.

As the City players walked back to the pitch, the game was about to restart and Di Matteo needed to make a decision as soon as possible.

Substitution!

Follow the substitution!

who to replace?

If you want to defend, change Essien or Romeu; if you want to attack, change to Torres and Sturridge.

Offense or defense?

Di Matteo raised his head, thought for a long time with his eyes closed, and finally decided, attack!

Chelsea is one goal behind, and substitutions cannot be conservative now, otherwise, the game is likely to be completely over.

Then who to replace?

Torres has more cards, but after joining Chelsea, his form has not been very good; Sturridge has the ability and talent, and he is young. He should be more impactful, but this is the Champions League final, and Torres will obviously be better. Experience is more stable.

Both players have their own pros and cons, Di Matteo naturally made a subconscious decision that perhaps he didn't even notice, Torres!

Two minutes after Su Dong scored, the two teams made substitution adjustments at the same time.

Manchester City replaced Di Maria with Hazard.

Chelsea replaced Ramirez with Torres.

After the substitution, Manchester City was still in the 4-3-3 formation, but Chelsea quietly changed the formation to 4-3-1-2, which means dragging Lampard to the midfielder position and letting Juan Mata serve as the midfielder to suppress. Busquets, Didier Drogba and Torres were the two forwards to suppress Manchester City's defense.

…………

…………

It wasn't a good decision.

In the chairman's stand, Beckenbauer looked at the time, just seventy-five minutes.

Di Matteo's substitution was a bit like a desperate attempt, looking desperate and helpless. Obviously, he had no choice but to take this kind of let-off tactic.

This substitution is likely to cause Chelsea to lose more goals, and the offense may not be able to improve much. Beckenbauer shook his head.

Platini also nodded solemnly. In such a crucial final, tactics are always particularly rigorous.

Torres has always been in poor form. Now he is partnered with Drogba. How do the two divide the work? Mata also played poorly this game. Let him be the assist and attack. Can he be competent? The attack seems to be effective. It's not clear, but the problem on the defensive end is very big, losing Ramirez's suppression, who will defend Marcelo's side?

Platini asked a soul-searching question, because Marcelo's attacking ability was too strong.

It can even be said that it is correct to look at him directly as a winger.

Ramirez has been following before, but now Ramirez has been replaced by Torres, who will stare at Marcelo on the left?

Torres?

Maybe it's not as good as Ramirez, so what's he going to do instead?

Drogba?

Torres has been in such a bad state since he joined, let Drogba stare at Marcelo and hand over all the offense to Torres?

Isn't this suicide?

Di Matteo completely lost to Guardiola whether it was tactics, substitutions, or adjustments on the spot. Beckenbauer looked at the Spaniard in front of the Manchester City coach in the stadium with some envy. Talented and promising.

Guardiola renews his contract, Su Dong renews his contract, and Manchester City will continue to increase its signings in the summer. In the next few years, who can stop them in European football? Beckenbauer looked at Platini with a wry smile. .

Platini once said that he likes Manchester City football very much, and now he can't help but smile bitterly after hearing Beckenbauer's question.

The best superstar, the best manager, and the most money, who can play with Manchester City?

Just as he was talking, he saw that in the stadium, Manchester City really kicked a wave of onslaught.

Marcelo, Hazard and David Silva formed the attack on the left.

…………

…………

David Silva and Hazard's small range, on the left side of the box.

Pass it back to Marcelo.

Marcelo took the ball with his left foot and crossed into the penalty area.

Su Dong turned his back to the attacking direction, blocked Cahill and Terry, volleyed with his right foot, and passed to the right rib.

Sanchez followed and shot straight!!!

Wow! Manchester City's attack this time is very threatening. Sanchez is already unguarded, but his shot is still in a hurry. He should stop and play again.

It's no wonder, after all, this is the first Champions League final in his career, and he wants to score, which is understandable.

Manchester City's attack was quite beautiful, especially after Su Dong was restrained by Cahill and Terry, he volleyed a pass to the right, very imaginative, although he failed to score, it also made everyone see it. To the attacking dynamism of Manchester City now.

...

fine!

When walking back, Su Dong specifically leaned towards Sanchez, grabbed Sanchez's head hard, and touched it hard.

The Chilean winger drooped his head, looking regretful.

If he stopped a little more just now, the shot would probably have been there.

The more critical it is, the more calm the mind must be. Don't be chaotic. The more chaotic it is, the easier it is to cause problems. Su Dong said.

Sanchez nodded instructed.

He is very grateful for Su Dong's help, especially the opportunity like the one just now, which directly gave him such a good shot, but he didn't grasp it himself.

If that goal was scored, City would have sealed the victory.

When Su Dong walked back, he happened to see Hazard, Marcelo, and David Silva. They were also walking back. Su Dong gave them a thumbs up and nodded with a smile. likes.

The offense on the left just now played a role, and it also gave Manchester City a taste of the sweetness.

...

Soon, Manchester City's offensive came back again.

Still on the left, or the cooperation of Marcelo, Hazard and David Silva.

But this time, unlike the previous one, Marcelo and David Silva cooperated to advance and passed the ball to Hazard.

Chelsea gathered a lot of troops on this side to form a melee, and the three Manchester City players cooperated in a small area.

Su Dong was in the penalty area, and when he saw Hazard cut in with the ball, he leaned back hard to create more space for his teammates.

David Silva sent a pass in the gap. After Hazard received the ball, after passing Meireles, he abruptly took the ball out of the crowd and cut in horizontally. .

In an instant, the entire stadium boiled again.

Cahill didn't dare to hesitate at all, and rushed directly to Hazard who cut in at the front of the penalty area, but the Belgian winger also saw Cahill's move, and took advantage of the situation to send a cross to Su, who was in the middle. at the foot of the east.

Behind Su Dong is Chelsea captain Terry. He desperately used his body to hold Terry. When Hazard's pass came to his feet, he stopped directly with his left foot and stopped to his left. It's the direction of the penalty spot.

The whole process was as if the ball touched his left foot, slightly deviated from the line, and the speed of the ball slowed down. After Su Dong stopped the ball, he turned around and chased the ball.

This is another wonderful stop and turn to get rid of!
