Chapter 401
Chapter 401
Chelsea changed from a fixed 4-3-3 formation for two seasons to a 4-4-2 formation.
It is enough to see how much adjustment Jose Mourinho made at the team's tactical level with the addition of Shevchenko.
Andrei Shevchenko!
Born in 1976, 1.83 meters tall, nicknamed "Ukrainian nuclear warhead"!
He became famous in Ukrainian FC Dynamo. Since transferring to AC Milan in 1999, he won the Golden Boot in his first Serie A season with 24 league goals.
In the 2003-04 season, Shevchenko once again won the Serie A Golden Boot with 24 goals, helping AC Milan win the Serie A championship, the European Super Cup championship and the Italian Super Cup championship.
Such performance also allowed Shevchenko to successfully win the 2004 European Golden Ball Award and become the world's top striker.
In the next two seasons, Shevchenko continued to shine. In 2005, he helped AC Milan get close to the top of Europe. He personally won the 2005-06 Champions League Golden Boot with 9 goals in 12 games.
It was because of Shevchenko's luxurious resume.
That forced Jose Mourinho to change his tactics and put him in the team's starting lineup.
After all.
You can't let a 2004 Ballon d'Or winner sit on the bench.
It was also because of Shevchenko's status as the number one player in Ukrainian football that Abramovich, who is also a Russian, favored him.
However, today's Community Shield, as a "test" before the start of the new season, is also a bold experiment by Jose Mourinho.
The arrogant Portuguese put his right index finger on his lips on the side of the court, nervously watching Chelsea's first attack.
..................................................
On the court!
Drogba tapped the ball to Shevchenko next to him.
Shevchenko, who got the ball, did not choose to pass or dribble, but stepped on the ball and waited for his teammates to advance their tactics.
Manchester City.
Under the leadership of Su Fei, the high-pressure pressing started at the beginning of the game.
Su Fei rushed directly to Shevchenko.
Shevchenko, who was used to tactical and slow-paced Serie A, obviously did not expect Su Fei's close pressing to be so fierce.
Under the disparity of confrontation power.
Shevchenko was almost knocked down by Su Fei and lost his balance, but he still reacted quickly and sent the ball to Ballack behind him on the right.
"Cazzo!"
Shevchenko couldn't help but curse in Italian in a low voice, and Su Fei fought back without hesitation.
"Merda!"
Shevchenko looked at Su Fei in shock. He learned Italian in Serie A, where did this kid learn it?
Where did he learn it?
Our Su Fei was of course influenced by the foul-mouthed Cassano.
Compared to Shevchenko who was not quite used to it, Ballack from the Bundesliga seemed very calm.
The Bundesliga attaches great importance to confrontation and fast pace, just like the Premier League.
Ballack took the ball and faced Podolski's scramble.
"An interesting scene appeared on the court!"
"Balak! Podolski!"
"One-on-one between the new and old German players!"
"Balak!"
"Fried meatballs!"
"Confident dribbling fake move, shaking off Podolski, successfully completing the pass!"
"As a benchmark figure of the German national team, Ballack's dribbling breakthroughs have always been excellent. He has an extremely delicate sense of the ball and excellent ball control ability."
"Various passing styles, as well as getting rid of the ball in a small range, are at his fingertips."
-[Ginger is still spicy with age! ]
-[Spinach is still too naive to face Ballack, after all, Ballack is the captain of Germany! 】
-【Balak: Spinach, watch out, captain, I will teach you another lesson. 】
-【Come on Chelsea! 】
..................................................
In the Millennium Stadium stands, Chelsea fans cheered as Ballack advanced on the right.
Chelsea players followed up and Manchester City retreated to defend.
Knight stepped forward to make up for the defense.
Ballak, who was dribbling, did not take it lightly in the face of the short Knight. He had the inherent rigor of the Germans in his bones.
Ballak raised his leg and knocked the ball.
With a long diagonal pass, he accurately passed the ball from behind Javi Martinez to the sprinting Shevchenko.
The football came to Shevchenko's feet again.
Ballak's amazing dribbling breakthrough made the Ukrainian "nuclear warhead" eager to show his strength to Chelsea fans.
Shevchenko came with the ballAfter the front court.
He slowed down and changed his rhythm, observed and determined the positions of the other teammates, and quickly thought in his mind whether to do it himself or pass the ball.
But he forgot.
Ballack faced the slightly immature German teammate Podolski.
And he was going to face Cannavaro, who had single-handedly restricted Su Fei several times in the World Cup!
It was Cannavaro who was in Serie A before and was very familiar with him!
Cannavaro rushed out of the penalty area directly.
Take the initiative.
Head-on collision, a simple and unpretentious leg stretch to destroy.
Before Shevchenko could think about it, he directly passed the ball from his feet to Javi Martinez who was chasing back.
"Chelsea's chance!!"
"Hey!"
"Cannavaro steals!"
"Shevchenko lost the ball!"
"Ball exchanged!"
"Martinez passes the ball to Su Fei!"
"Manchester City launches a counterattack!"
Shevchenko, who lost the ball, could only turn around in a hurry and participate in the team's defense. However, he witnessed the ultimate personal performance of the No. 9 figure!
....................................................
In the Premier League, every time Su Fei gets the ball, he can arouse the expectations and shouts of all Manchester City fans.
"Su!!!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Come on!!"
After Su Fei got the ball in the center circle, he made a strong move and started a big counterattack in the middle.
First.
The one who came to block him was Claude Makelele!
Last season, Chelsea adopted the strategy of Makelele and Essien's coordinated defense against Su Fei.
But today.
Due to the change of formation and the coordination of Chelsea players, which was still in the running-in stage.
Makelele could only face the impact of the demon Su alone.
However.
Su Fei did not give Makelele too many pictures, while approaching.
Without slowing down at all, he touched the ball and changed direction at high speed, and directly passed Makelele with the ball in an instant.
Fast!
This kid has been really fast since the World Cup!
While sighing in his heart, Makelele chased back and kept a half-body distance from Su Fei.
Since he failed to stop Su Fei's breakthrough, he could only get a chance to block Su Fei's shooting or passing when Su Fei slowed down.
At the same time.
Carvalho also attacked from the penalty area, ready to double-team Su Fei with Makelele.
Although Ricardo Carvalho's confrontation was average, after being defeated by Su Fei several times.
He also learned to be smart.
Since close combat cannot stop this monster, then use the body position to block Su Fei's shooting angle while stealing.
But!
Carvalho, who represented Portugal in the World Cup but failed to directly confront Su Fei, still underestimated Su Fei's current breakthrough ability.
Su Fei!
He twisted his body in a big way, took a big step with his left and right feet, and successfully shook Carvalho and created space for himself.
Pendulum pass!
Then, he knocked the ball to the left with his right foot, and then avoided Makelele's pursuit.
He slightly raised his left foot, kicked out with lightning speed, and kicked the bottom of the football.
"Bang!!!"
