20demayo Chapter 300
Chapter 300
During this period.
When defending, Malouda and Wright-Phillips both retreated relatively far back. Chelsea used this method to try to keep the number of players in the midfield consistent with that of Leeds United, so that they could better conduct one-on-one defense.
Each player of Chelsea is actually very good when taken out individually, but they are only very good when taken out individually.
In front of Leeds United, which has made sufficient preparations and has been rehearsing for more than half a month, it still seems a bit insufficient.
What Li Shiguang emphasized most in the past half a month is passing!
Football is a team sport.
The role of superb stars in the team can add icing on the cake and make the final decision, but this can only be done with the support of the team behind!
And in Li Shiguang's football philosophy.
No matter how strong you are, as long as you come to Leeds United, you must adapt and make full use of the power of the team.
This is what Leeds United is showing now!
Facing Chelsea's tough one-on-one defense, Leeds United's entire midfield will respond by passing the ball and running frequently.
These young people in Leeds United are all players with high football IQ.
Especially under the influence of Li Shiguang's [Master Coach] skill, half a month is enough for them to develop a good tacit understanding.
As soon as Kroos received the ball from the backcourt, several receiving points appeared in front, behind, and left for him to choose from, and all he had to do was pass the ball to the safest position!
Under the command and dispatch of Kroos and Modric, Chelsea had not touched the football for about two minutes.
At the same time.
Leeds United's offense also found opportunities in this small-scale, fast passing and cooperation!
In the 18th minute, after receiving the ball, Kroos passed it to Modric who was waiting for him. Then he did not stand still, but quickly bypassed Modric and pulled to the right. After Modric passed the ball to Mascherano, Mascherano passed the ball to Kroos who ran to the position.
The three of them ran like this.
The defense of Chelsea's right midfield was completely disrupted.
Originally Malouda was defending Kroos, but after seeing Kroos pass the ball to Modric, he ran to help Lampard defend Modric.
So when the ball returned to Kroos's feet, there was no one around him.
The most important thing is that next to Kroos, Sun Jihai has also pressed up and is moving forward without the ball along the side.
Sun Jihai's insertion attracted the attention of Ashley Cole, so he dared not rush forward to defend Kroos.
In desperation, Essien had to give up Kaka next to him and rushed towards Kroos.
But Kroos didn't intend to control the ball for a long time.
Seeing Essien leave Kaka, the young German player immediately sent a straight pass diagonally to the middle, and then immediately ran towards Chelsea's penalty area.
Leeds United's sudden change of rhythm disrupted Chelsea's defense.
When Essien turned his head to look at the ball halfway, Kaka had already received the ball in the most dangerous position, and there was no one in front of him!
Chelsea's defense is currently under great pressure.
Adriano, Bale and Sun Jihai have already leaned on the back line, and Kroos is also rushing here.
Experienced Carvalho knows that as long as any of them moves forward a little, Kaka will send that fatal straight pass. But if he doesn't move, Kaka also has a long shot.
Carvalho doesn't have much time to think.
Kaka's dribbling speed is quite fast. In the blink of an eye, he has already killed the ball to the top of the penalty area.
Seeing that the Brazilian has made a shooting gesture.
Carvalho, who had nowhere to retreat, finally couldn't help it. He first waved his hands forward, then quickly adjusted his center of gravity, leaned forward and rushed towards Kaka! Seeing Carvalho's action, several other Chelsea defenders also adjusted their center of gravity at the first time and took a step forward.
They wanted to create an offside trap in this way!
Kaka saw it, but he still sent the ball to the gap left by Carvalho after he robbed the ball.
Although he didn't stop the ball from the middle, Carvalho was relieved. He knew that with the cooperation of his teammates, the players of Leeds United who were just cruising on their own defense line were definitely in an offside position now!
Carvalho, with a slightly more relaxed expression, raised his hands at the first time, and then turned his head to look at the sideline.
But what surprised the Portuguese central defender was.
The expected scene of the linesman raising the flag did not appear, not only that, but the linesman also accelerated towards his own goal.ran in the direction.
Damn!
The battle-hardened Carvalho knew what this meant, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Kaka's pass.
The next second.
What appeared in his sight.
was a small figure in a white jersey. The most terrible thing was that this figure had received Kaka's through pass in the penalty area and raised his right foot.
The person who received Kaka's pass in the penalty area was none other than Lahm who came up to assist.
When Kaka passed the ball, whether it was Bale, Adriano or Kroos, they did not move forward even one step.
To put it more exaggeratedly, when Chelsea's defense line moved forward as a whole, these three people even moved back as a whole.
In the past half month.
Li Shiguang has made them practice this offside technique too many times.
This was proposed by Kaka. When they were in AC Milan before, their offside tactics relied more on Inzaghi's ghostly running.
Since none of the Leeds United players have this ability, they can just use the back-up to solve this problem!
Just now, whether it was Ben Haim in the middle, or Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole on both sides, their attention was focused on the Leeds United players or Kaka around them.
None of them noticed that when Kaka was dribbling forward, Lahm had quickly run to his own half, and he never slowed down, but ran to his own penalty area at high speed.
"Philip Lahm!!" In Lineker's excited exclamation.
Lahm's raised right foot fell quickly, and the football flew past Cech's feet halfway along the ground, and then plunged into the lower right corner of the goal!
1:0!
The game was played until the 18th minute.
"Son of God" Kaka sent his first assist after joining Leeds United, and at the same time, Lahm also scored his first goal of the new season!
