[football] walk side by side

Naples can be said to have sympathy for Cyril at the moment. Even if they forgot all the instructions from the head coach before the game, after most of the game, they immediately realized the Chelsea in front of them. The horror of players on breakouts.

Seeing Cyril rushing up again, Aronika's head exploded. Of course, he knew why Cyril was able to advance frequently in this game, because although Chelsea played defensively, Chelsea controlled the ball. The pressure that Naples put on Chelsea's defense was not enough at all, which led to Cyril being able to repeatedly put down the burden of organizing the defense. Instead, he used continuous forward penetration to put pressure on Naples.

And when Cyril broke through in front...

Among other things, if it was one-on-one, it would be very difficult for him to stop Slade with confidence.As Aronika thought about it, she stiffened her head and went forward.As a Naples defender, behind him are the goals of De Santis and Naples. Even if he can't stop Slade, at least he must compress the angle of his shot.

The only thing that made him feel more at ease was that Cannavaro on the other side also rushed over immediately. In any case, two people defending in defense is better than him facing Slade alone...

Cyril continued to take the ball forward.

Campagnaro was a little closer to him. He looked at Cyril who was getting closer, and rushed forward without hesitation.Now they are still a certain distance from the penalty area. If you plan to foul and stop Cyril forcibly, this is the best choice. If you wait for Cyril to penetrate deeper, wait for Cannavaro and Aronika behind. , At that time, it will be either a free kick or a penalty kick.

Although it was an away game, the Chelsea fans were still cheering excitedly for the team in the stands. In their view, Cyril had rarely let them down, and this time was certainly no exception.

But even so, when they watched Campagnaro run towards Cyril with a fierce sliding shovel again, many fans still held their breath nervously, for fear that their core would be hit by others again. What's going on and what's going on.

Although it has been two years since the Stamford Bridge tragedy, the shadow it left has never disappeared from the hearts of Chelsea fans and players.

At least in the past few years, under the annual daily activities of "eat, sleep, and play Barcelona", Chelsea and Barcelona have unconsciously formed a relationship that is not a deadly enemy, but a relationship that is better than a deadly enemy.Not to mention the players, even the fans will become particularly excited when facing Barcelona.

In the nervous eyes of the Chelsea fans, Cyril also noticed the impending danger from the corner of his eyes.With Cyril's speed, even if he is running with the ball, there are very few people who can catch up with him. In this way, the possibility of being tackled from behind is greatly reduced, and the danger from the front, Cyril I will also notice it myself.

This time is no exception.

Facing the menacing Campagnaro, Cyril stretched out his right foot and gently flicked the ball to the side, allowing the ball to escape the opponent's outstretched tackle.Immediately afterwards, the body completed a half-turn with the support of the left foot to avoid physical collisions between the two sides.Having done this, he left the Napoli defender alone, cut from the center to the right, and continued forward with the ball.

Campagnaro couldn't continue chasing Cyril at this moment—his outstretched foot to tackle the ball flew into the air, and his body naturally slipped uncontrollably and fell on the court. He could only helplessly Watching Cyril's back getting further and further away.

Aronika and Cannavaro looked at each other, and they formed a semi-circular formation to push towards Cyril, while carefully blocking the angle of Cyril's shot, trying to block him out of the penalty area.

Powell looked at the court calmly.

Switching to any other player, Chelsea fans may still worry about whether the opponent can open up the situation under such restrictions, and whether this opportunity will be wasted, but when it is Cyril who is facing all this, Instead, Chelsea fans calmed down.

In the past few years, although Chelsea's performance is not very good, Cyril's performance has always been the most shining player in the Chelsea team, and even in the entire Premier League.As Cyril's performance became better and better, the media and fans' demands on Cyril became higher and higher unconsciously.

Slade turned and dialed the ball past Manchester United's Ferdinand one-on-one? --oh.

Slade's brilliant through ball to open the game against Arsenal? --oh.

Slade easily avoided the opponent's foul-style siege and sent a key transfer ball? --oh.

One-on-one past Naples' Campagnaro?What are you blowing, is this Campagnaro as good as Manchester United's deputy team Ferdinand?Is Manchester United captain Neville stronger?What's there to brag about, isn't it just a Naples defender.

If we really blow it out, we still think it's a drop in price.

Chelsea fans stared at the pitch expectantly while thinking.What method will Cyril use to escape the siege of the Naples defender this time?Picking the ball out?No, no, the opponent has two tall and strong defenders. I'm afraid they will be stopped when they pick the ball at this time?So... the tail of the ox is extraordinary?

That's not right, Cyril doesn't seem to like to use these skills all along. In the past few years of competition, passing people has been lightly picking the ball, or simply changing the rhythm of running...

In the anticipation of the Chelsea fans and the eyes of the two defenders of Naples, Cyril calmly made two quick adjustments to the left, and the whole person suddenly cut to the left!This action of his just happened to diverge directly from the Naples defender, approaching the bottom line. Before DeSantis took the initiative to attack, he circled the ball from his left foot to the back of his right foot, knocked the ball with his heel, and the ball went straight to the middle!

Behind him is the unguarded Drogba!

Drogba didn't hesitate, and immediately leaned forward and shot!

The ball barely brushed against DeSantis' big hand. The Naples goalkeeper touched the ball, but failed to stop it. He could only watch helplessly as the ball circled a beautiful arc and flew fiercely into the net.

The whole stadium fell silent for a moment.

The Naples fans haven't reacted yet, because in their opinion, Slade was still trapped in the encirclement of Naples in the last second, and he was so restricted that he couldn't get rid of it. Why did the ball arrive at Dro in the next second? Ba's feet?

The Chelsea fans reacted a little faster, and quickly expressed the excitement in their hearts in action!They waved their arms excitedly, and shouted Cyril's name loudly while jumping and jumping!

"Cyril-Slade! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow The ball! Didier Drogba lived up to the good chance Slade created for him, and Warcraft bowed to the ball in front of the goal!"

"More than half of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Slade. He used his series of breakthroughs to firmly attract Naples' attention, creating enough space and opportunities for Drogba to shoot. Aronika and Cannavaro's inside cuts are also classic! It can be seen that Naples' restrictions on Slade are not enough, and the three goals conceded in the first half are almost all caused by this fatal omission .Could it be that Cyril has been in the midfield for so long that people have forgotten how lethal he is in the frontcourt?"

"There are still 3 minutes before the end of the first half. Perhaps no one thought that Chelsea, which had been in chaos in the dressing room before the game, could make such a fierce counterattack after falling behind by two goals in the first leg! The game now is 3-0, Chelsea currently leads Naples with a total score of 3-2! If they can maintain this score to the end, then Chelsea will be the fourth team to complete a great comeback!"

Chelsea fans were shouting Cyril's name frantically in the stands, but at this moment, the Slade section on the official English football website is a completely different scene——

"I won't talk about the one that passed Campagnaro. It's too simple. If it's Neville, you can consider blowing it. Let's forget about Campagnaro. I haven't even heard of him before this game. name. Next!"

"The point is the cross from inside! That cut inside is so beautiful! It reminds me of Robben... Well, when Robben was around, we used to cut inside like this. If Robben was around, we would probably It's easier, right?"

"It's not just Robben who can cut inside. There are too many players who cut inside in European football. Let the past go. I think Cyril is enough. What Robben do you want? It's brittle, it's a glass person... Besides, the styles of Cyril's cut and Robben's cut are completely different. Robben's speed is a little faster, and although Cyril's cut is smooth, it is actually faster It is more rhythmic, and when you watch it, it feels clearer than Robben cutting in. There is a feeling...you can clearly see him cutting in, but it is difficult to stop it?"

"Yes, yes, do you feel that this kind of introversion is more worthy of beating? It just makes you see it clearly, but you just can't stop it. [Laughs]"

Naples coach Mazzarri sat down on the bench.

At this moment, his expression is really not good-looking - it can even be said to be quite ugly.When preparing for the game, he did think of the strong dominance of the opponent's core in the frontcourt, but since Cyril's "safety" in several consecutive games, he finally chose the regular style of play, but out of caution, he Also prepared a countermeasure for how Naples should prepare once Cyril advances.

Originally, when he saw Cyril starting to advance frequently, he was still thankful that he had thought of a countermeasure in advance, but when he saw Cyril in action, his expression changed drastically!

He thought that everything was under control, but he didn't expect that the threat of Chelsea's core in the frontcourt would be so terrifying!In just one first half, Chelsea went all out and scored three goals in a row!

what does this mean?

This means that the two-goal advantage that Naples managed to create in the first round at Stamford Bridge was completely wiped out in the 45 minutes of the first half!

After a brief intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After an entire half-time adjustment, Naples quickly showed a completely different side from the first half. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the three consecutive goals scored by Chelsea in the first half were all related to Cyril. Either directly or indirectly, therefore, if Naples still wants to win this game, they must limit Cyril's range of activities in the frontcourt.

Mazari thinks so, and asks his players to do the same.

The referee blew his whistle and kicked off again.As soon as Cyril took the ball here, he saw a Naples player follow him out of the corner of his eye.Cyril's heart moved, and he knocked the ball to Lampard who was not far away.

As if he didn't notice the transfer of the ball at all, Gargano didn't even look at Lampard, but stared at Cyril, keeping a certain distance from him.

This is close marking.

Among the players in Naples, Gargano may not be the one with the strongest defense, but he is the one with the fastest speed among the defensive midfielders.

It is definitely unscientific to expect a defensive midfielder to be able to keep a close eye on Cyril, and Mazari never thought about it.After all, Naples is a Serie A team, and their chain defense is also layered. What Gargano has to do is not to completely stop Cyril, but to prevent him from stopping and passing the ball normally through close defense. Or simply delay his speed and time.

In this way, even if Cyril passes Gargano, other defensive players behind Gargano will be ready to defend first.Cyril passed Gargano and would also be caught in the Naples defense.

Cyril only took the ball forward once, and he almost understood Naples' intentions.

Naples' restrictions on him are of course effective. Even if it is a superstar player, it is not difficult to pass a certain person alone. The difficulty is that when you pass the first person, the defensive players behind will move and move more than prepared It is more sufficient, so that even if you want to attack forward, you have no way to start.

Cyril was facing such a situation at this time.

At this moment, after thinking for a while, he retreated to his own midfield without hesitation.

It has to be said that the various failures suffered in the past few years have certainly caused a lot of psychological blows to Cyril, but at the same time, they have also allowed him to clearly see many things that he could not see when he was victorious. .

After winning the European Cup in 08, Cyril would still think of that unforgettable final again and again, thinking again and again, if he went back to that time, how should he choose and how to act.

After the Stamford Bridge tragedy in 09, Chelsea, which lost Cyril, immediately ushered in a five-game losing streak. However, with the arrival of the top coach Guus Hiddink, Chelsea lost Cyril, the core of the midfield, soon and gradually. He regained his vitality and regained his place in the top four of the league.

This made Cyril soberly aware of two facts——

First, Chelsea is not without him, it will die.

Even without him on the field, although Lampard's organizational skills are poor, Chelsea can still use muscle flow and power flow to win in their own way.

Second, if Chelsea loses him, they will be weakened at different levels from the attack in the frontcourt, the rhythm of the midfield, and the defense in the backcourt.

It wasn't Cyril's pride or inferiority complex, but his conclusions from an outsider's analysis of Chelsea's video footage during his time in hospital.

With the development of modern football, it is rare for one person to drive the entire team forward. After all, football is a team sport.However, if you want to ask which position a single player can improve the strength of the entire team, there is only one answer - that is the midfielder.

The reason is simple, because a normal midfielder can increase the growth of the entire team in all aspects.

Even without mentioning Cyril, take Lampard as an example.The Blues deputy team had a very good long-range shot when attacking. When Chelsea were in a stalemate, he repeatedly passed long-range shots to open up the situation for the team.Although the organizational ability is not as good as that of Cyril, it is not weak either.As for defense, although Lampard is not a defensive midfielder like Gattuso, in some cases, he can also steal the ball from top strikers and lead Chelsea to counterattack.

But as a striker, his role to the team as a whole will be much more monotonous.

In general, the relationship between Cyril and the entire Chelsea team actually seems to complement each other rather than being indispensable.

Without Chelsea, Cyril can still play his various abilities.Without Cyril, Chelsea can also win many games by sticking to their own style.But in terms of strength, both will be weakened to varying degrees.

After realizing this fact, Cyril didn't feel much hit, but was relieved about the European Cup final in 08.

He is too used to helping the team open up the situation through his passing and passing.This made him fall into a panic of being unable to do anything for the team when his strength was not as good as the opponent's midfielder, or when he was severely restricted by the opponent. Later, based on his performance and achievements in the past few years, he reflected on himself. Sometimes, it becomes transparent.

The team, after all, does not rely on a single person to be supported and move forward.If your own is limited, then give the offensive burden to your teammates.If one's own strength is not as good as the opponent's midfielder, then use the collective tacit cooperation to make up for it.

No matter how powerful an individual is, it is ultimately inferior to a united whole.

With this in mind, facing the restrictions of Naples at this time, Cyril not only did not lose his psychological balance, but calmed down even more.

His position in the Chelsea team has always been very flexible, he cannot assist the offense, and the same goes for the midfield organization and defense.

Thinking of this, he ignored Gargano who was following him closely, turned around and ran back.No need for additional prompts, Lampard saw his running position and understood what he meant, and the two quickly completed the position exchange.As soon as Cyril ran in place, Sturridge's ball was delivered there.

Instead, Gargano became hesitant at this moment.

Because Cyril's position at this time is equivalent to being on the midfielder, which means that at this moment, behind him are four Chelsea defenders, and in front of him are Mata and other midfielders and forwards. Players, it doesn't make much sense to defend Cyril closely at this time.

Although Gargano can continue to influence Cyril's pass, but at this time he is surrounded by his own people, even if the pass is wrong, the ball will fall to the feet of his teammates in eight or nine out of ten. meaning.

The second half of the game was still very lively.

Although Cyril no longer advanced, Chelsea's firepower remained undiminished. Naples was eager to equalize the score and had to attack.But compared to Chelsea's real offense, Naples' offense tends to be a sneak attack.

Compared with Chelsea's usual tough guy style, this sneak attack style of play naturally won them a burst of boos from the fans in the stands, but at this time, Naples can't control so much anymore, they can only be able to advance, what style is nothing ?Every step forward in the Champions League, there will be more dividends.

However, amidst the boos of the Chelsea fans in the stands, Naples actually scored a goal by sneak attack!

This goal lifted the spirits of the Naples fans in the stands, and the cheers that sounded in an instant almost broke through the ceiling above the stadium.

Di Matteo frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed it.

The Chelsea fans were agitated by the goal, but with the calm performance of the Chelsea players on the field, they were also infected and calmed down.

3-3, but the difference is that Naples has two away goals and one home goal.Chelsea have three away goals.In other words, if Naples wants to win this game, they must score at least one goal.

Look at the Chelsea players on the field at this time.

This team, which has experienced all kinds of contradictions in recent years, does not seem to be worn out at all, even if their vice-captain just drove out their head coach a week ago, even if the way of scoring goals does not seem to be at all Be aboveboard.In the past, Drogba would have been furious at this time.

But Drogba didn't.

He didn't use a little more strength when colliding with his opponent because of this.When being harassed by Ma Qiao, he didn't push and shove each other.

After taking in everything on the field, Powell unknowingly also calmed down.

Chelsea are playing well.

After Cyril retreated to the back, Chelsea's offensive did not drop suddenly——Cyril's just-right organization and fast and effective passing gave the players in the frontcourt immediately a wealth of firepower resources, and the team Up and down's mental state is also very good, and the offense is even more impressive.

They were able to score three consecutive goals in 45 minutes of the first half, and now there are still 15 minutes before the end of the game, and it will be difficult to score another goal?

Besides, even if you can't score, as long as you can prevent the opponent from scoring again, Chelsea, who have the advantage of away goals, can also advance to the quarter-finals.

Looking at Chelsea, who are not in a hurry and come at their own pace on the pitch, the commentator Jimmy couldn't help expressing his feelings: "Before the game started, many media believed that they were deeply involved in the conflict in the dressing room. It may be difficult for Chelsea to achieve a comeback in the away game, but now it seems that their prediction is completely wrong."

"Yes, Chelsea has experienced a lot of hardships in the past few years, and has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the Champions League. However, contrary to our expectations-this painful experience has not become a shadow of Chelsea, but has become a shadow of Chelsea. A strength for them to go. Made them tougher and more tenacious. As the Daily Mail put it..."

"These veterans don't have a long way to go, but they still haven't given up on the unfinished task."
