Chapter 396 Brutal Collision and Critical Moment
Force - The referee Dilbart's whistle is like a charge on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. In an instant, blue and black and white collide without showing weakness like two countercurrents. This round of the focus battle of the Premier League - the Battle of St. James's Park Stadium... begins!
Scolari, who was almost at a dead end, fought back in this game, so "Big Phil" almost eliminated all the main force he could rely on - the goalkeeper Czech gibbon Cech.
The four defenders from left to right are Ashley Cole, John Terry, Carvalho and Bossinwa.
In terms of the back waist, [Ghana Buffalo] Essin and [Nilia Lion] Michael formed an African black muscle iron gate that can be attacked and defended!
The other two offensive midfielders are Frank Lampard, the Blues' magic lamp, and Portuguese superstar Deko, who has just transferred from Barcelona this season!
On the front line, [Big Warcraft] Didir Drogba and [Little Warcraft] Nicholas Anelka fought together to fight for Scolari!
Chelsea's strategy is to attack with all your strength from the first second of the game!
Therefore, less than a second after the referee Dilbart's whistle fell, Chelsea rushed to the Magpie Army's camp like the Nile water of the Aswan Dam under the strict supervision of coach Scolari!
Because for "Big Phil" Scolari, the 90 minutes of this game is like a two-year death row by the boss Abramovich. If Chelsea can't win a victory within 90 minutes, he will be immediately executed by the man from the Siberian wilderness!
Therefore, Scolari can't afford to waste every second of this game. The tactics he adopts can only and must be full attack type!
Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and saw all this clearly!
With a proud curvature at the corners of his mouth, Lao Li had long expected that this Brazilian old man, who had been barbecued by the English football world, would definitely take such a let go offensive... It seems that the guess is right!
Thinking of this, Lao Li did not hesitate at all. He stood on the sidelines and waved his hand and immediately asked the Magpie Legion to temporarily avoid its edge, and the formation turned into a 4-2-3-1 defensive counterattack formation!
The basis of this formation is the [4-2-3-1 defensive counterattack tactical package] purchased from the FM2009 system database... Because Lao Li chose to use the [tactical package] function in the game before the game, he could not carry out the FM2009 system plan in this game. In the competition, Li Tongfan's biggest killer is the clever application of the [tactical package]!
It can be said that as long as Li Tongfan can switch the [tactical package] in a timely and correct manner according to the changes in the game situation on the field, then the new function of the FM2009 database - the magical function of [tactical package] to improve the probability of winning the game will be displayed in the football world in a shocking second!
Because the switching between different [tactical packages] requires a relatively high position ability of the starting eleven players, the starting lineup sent by Li Tongfan in this game has also been carefully considered - the veteran Marklele, who has been starting and has performed well in the previous games, unexpectedly sat on the bench. Instead, young players Fernando Gago and Sami Khedira teamed up to defend the midfield of the Magpie Legion... The main reason why Li Tongfan arranged the starting lineup like this is that veteran Maclele's pass is too mediocre, and the French can only appear in the back position to make the offensive contribution of the Magpie Legion. Limited... In the case that Lao Li frequently changes the team's tactics and uses different [tactical packages], the single and rigid position of Maclele is likely to become the weakness and flaws of the Magpie Legion!
In contrast, the abilities of the young German player Sami Khedira and the Argentine genius Fernando Gago are more balanced. They have good strength at both ends of attack and defense, and should be on the first choice list!
In addition to the midfield position, Brazilian full-back Marcelo has been suspended with accumulated yellow cards, so [Eastern European Ronaldinho] Yuri Irkov has a great chance to start... Steven Taylor and Michelle Manzini partnered to form a main central defender combination, and the right-back is still an 18-year-old who is becoming more and more mature and stable. Italian young player David Thornton!
[Angel Wings] Juan Mata, Lucas Podowski and Alan Smith, who scored an amazing free kick at Old Trafford in the last round, formed a front-court trio!
[Lightning Killer] Michael Owen appeared alone at the front of the team, like a cold flash of lightning sword into the heart of Chelsea!
... The game was in full swing in the deafening cheers of the fans in the stands!
Because Li Tongfan asked the Magpie Legion to take the initiative to retreat to the backcourt and wait for the opportunity to defend and counterattack, Chelsea, who fought to the death, gradually took advantage on the scene... Such a situation was originally expected by Li Tongfan, but as the game progressed, Lao Li was a little worried, because the game was actually However, it began to step out of Li Tongfan's expected track, and the Magpie Legion had a tendency to change from "pretated grandson" to "true grandson" - on the field.
In the 8th minute of the game, the Blues Chelsea had a clear possession advantage.
Brazilian old man Scolari's most trusted Portuguese midfielder Deko is obviously the core of Chelsea's organization in this game, so that even the "divine lamp" Lampard's existence space was oppressed by him to the right forward position... Although Scolari's tactical arrangement revealed Lampard's lack of breakthrough ability. It greatly weakened the offensive power of the "divine lamp", but on the contrary, the reused Deko's transmission and control ability was played in full play under Newcastle's intentional club!
The Portuguese who have been given heavy responsibilities are frequently making threats!
In the 9th minute, Deko made a long-range shot with the ball to deceive Hedira, the back of the Magpie Legion, turned around and blocked it with his back, but suddenly sent a straight plug... The understanding Côte d'Ivoire Warcraft Didir Drogba used his body to squeeze out the defense of Steven Taylor and Manzieni, and made a violent long-range shot after a strong thrust. ...Fortunately, the 21-year-old French young national goalkeeper Hugo Loris tried his best to block the football out of the bottom line... More than 60,000 Newcastle fans in the stands of Chelsea's attack were shocked!
Li Tongfan on the sidelines was also shocked by a cold sweat!
In this scene, Warcraft Drogba gave full play to his physical advantages. The violent aesthetics of the Iron Army in Mourinho's era flashed a deadly light... The main corner kick was still the master of the skillful footwork.
The whistle sounded, and a white arc like a shaky steel wire went straight from the corner area to the back of Newcastle's goal. John Terry jumped high and pressed his former little brother Manzini's headbutt and hit the goal... "... Deko sent a corner kick... back point!!! ... Terry's header hit the goal... Danger!!! The ball was scored... Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong. The football hit the side net... From this perspective, it seems that the football has rushed into the net..."
"... Newcastle's active retreat gave Chelsea a lot of opportunities. Drogba and Terry's continuous threat to the Magpie Legion playing at home gave a lot of power... In the face of the midfield attack combination of the Blues' muscle forest, Newcastle's young skills The players with the surname of Shu are very difficult to defend..."
As the commentator said, as the game progressed, the situation on the court made Lao Li a little surprised.
Originally, Newcastle was already a 4-2-3-1 double-back defensive counterattack formation. Li Tongfan's defensive strength was not weak, but Chelsea was able to frequently rely on such simple tactical cooperation to threaten the team's gate, which is a little unreasonable... And it is worth mentioning that Li Tongfan uses a [tactical package] that improves the winning rate of the Magpie Legion. There should not be such a passive situation... What's wrong?
It's strange!
However, before finding out the real reason, Lao Li's top priority is to make some effective adjustments first to avoid being scored by the Blues!
Thinking of this, Li Tongfan came to the sidelines and shouted and made a gesture, so that the German midfielder Sami Hedilla, who had more running ability, carried out a strict one-on-one man-to-man defense against Chelsea's core Deco... Lao Li's idea is very simple - since you use the core tactics of the organization, I will freeze you first. It's very patient. What can you do?
Li Tongfan's emergency adjustment has played a certain role. Deko is not the breakthrough midfielder of former teammate Ronaldinho, so once he falls into the special entanglement of the opponent's defenders, his role will be greatly reduced... However, Newcastle's disadvantage has not been completely eliminated. Lost.
The 14th minute.
Chelsea launched another wave of offensive. After controlling the ball, the midfielder [Ghana Buffalo] Essien saw that the core of the field arranged by head coach Scolari was killed by the opponent's defenders. He did not choose to pass the football to Deko according to the tactical requirements of the coaching staff before the game again, but shook the Newcastle midfield with the ball by himself. Alan Smith's defense dribbled the ball**, straight to Huanglong... This sudden change obviously made the operation of Newcastle's defensive system slightly suffocated!
When the magpie warriors reacted, [Ghana Buffalo] had approached about ten meters in front of Newcastle's penalty area, Fernando Gago immediately stepped forward to grab... Bang!
There was a loud noise from the field!
But it turned out to be the [Ghana Buffalo] Essin who told the ball to move forward. When he saw that Gago was forced to grab it, he did not choose to slam the ball or shake people with fake moves, but took the most barbaric method - collision!
Take the football forward vigorously, and then quickly keep up before Gago comes out of the siege!
At this moment, the feet have been red, the feet have been blue, and there is a deformed football that has been hit in the middle... right feet!
This is the most direct power duel!
Obviously, whether in terms of weight or height, whether in muscle or skin color, in terms of momentum or readiness, whether in terms of calves or thighs... Fernando Gago is not on the same level as [Ghana Buffalo] Essien!
So, in the next moment, Gago couldn't help flying out!
It's like being hit by a terrible force!
And [Ghana Buffalo] Essien firmly protected the football under his feet. After a short pause, a terrible force broke out in the thick, like a black Ferrari stepping on the accelerator and soaring out in an instant!
Three seconds later, a black whirlwind has appeared on the big penalty area arc of the Magpie Legion with an undisguised cold and murderous spirit... "... Danger, Essien broke through Alan Smith and Fernando Gago... This distance can shoot directly... He has already made a shooting posture... ...”
On the field.
The steel nails on the left-footed sneakers stepped fiercely into the green lawn to support the weight of the whole body. The right calf raised its heel high and almost touched his buttocks. The arms shook off the whole body one after another and stretched like a super huge bow pulled to the full moon ready to go... This is the prelude to the shot!
Strive shot!
From the two popular [Ghana Buffalo] Esssin!
In the face of such a huge threat, [Little Superman] Steven Taylor did not dare to fly forward immediately without any hesitation... At this time, Essien, who looked like a strong African gorilla, drew a sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth, and then exclaimed more than 60,000 Newcastle fans in the stands. In the sound, the instep of the right foot was about to touch the football... Suddenly, the shot turned into a push!
Incomparable and gentle push!
Just like a gentle and virtuous little wife brushing the dust off her shoulders after returning home for work, Essien's right foot gently sent the football out... not a shot!
It's a pass!!!
Li Tongfan's pupils contracted sharply at this moment!
Many people will be confused by [Ghana Buffalo] Essien's rough appearance, subconsciously thinking that this thick black waist is a beast-type player who lives on his body... However, in fact, Esssin's foot skills are no worse than those breakthrough maniacs on the green field!
In the era of Mourinho, Essien even performed a good play many times!
Today, will it be another dragon?
In Newcastle's penalty area, the white football flashed into the cold light left by Steven Taylor after being seduced, and there was a blue figure who entered the penalty area with the football - Drogba!
Choose and eat the horrible Côte d'Ivoire Warcraft Didil Drogba!
The exclamation and trembling of St. James's Park reached its peak at this moment. Even a three-year-old child understands how horrible it is to let a center like Drogba flash through the central defender and cut into the penalty area in the chaos!
That's almost synonymous with scoring!
Steven Taylor turned around in a hurry. Irkov and Ashley Cole inserted into Drogba like two sharp knives, while another central defender Manzini, who was closest to Drogba, shrugged up less than half of Drogba's thick shoulders and bumped into him like a moth in the fire... Li Tong Fan clenched his fist on the sidelines!
There is no systematic pre-push for this game. The next moment is the Newcastleman's smile or the Chelseaman's tears. He doesn't know... 4,000 words second update!
