Football: From becoming a god-level striker

"Chelsea used the 4231 lineup at the beginning of the season to win three consecutive victories and suffered two consecutive losses. The new coach Antonio Conte carried out drastic reforms to the team, changing to a three-central defense system. The effect is extremely obvious. Now they have won eight consecutive Premier League victories! After losing to Manchester City in the last round of the league, Leicester City has only led Chelsea by two points.

If they can beat Manchester City at home in this game, the suspense of the Premier League title will continue.

And Manchester City's recent state is not as hot as it was at the beginning of the season.They faced Burnley and Leicester City, and it was extremely difficult to win.

In the last League Cup, although the main players played, Zhao's performance was substandard. He has not participated in goals for two consecutive games.

This game is quite a challenge for him and Manchester City.

Since Chelsea changed to a 3421 lineup, their defensive efficiency has improved significantly. During the eight-game winning streak, the efficiency is the first in the entire Premier League, and their frontcourt attack group is not inferior to Manchester City!

Manchester City has played consecutive away games and their physical condition is relatively disadvantaged. Facing such an eyeing Chelsea team, they have many difficulties in winning this game. "

"Let's take a look at Chelsea's starting lineup first. As for the goalkeeper, Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper, has a lot of connections with De Bruyne of Manchester City. The two are teammates, friends, and bridges.

On the back line, there are three central defenders Azpilicueta, David Luiz who has just returned to Chelsea, and captain Cahill.

Left and right full-backs, Alonso and Moses.

Alonso has extremely rich experience in the game and has outstanding left foot skills. Whether it is an offensive cross or an inside shot, he can provide very powerful help. The name of the defender with a knife is well-deserved.

Moses' breakthrough speed is extremely fast, and he is the core of Chelsea's wing attack. He should be the fastest-improving player in the Premier League so far this season.

Why is the Most Improved Player not Manchester City's Zhao?To be honest, his recent performance has declined a bit compared to the beginning of the season.

It is definitely not his turn to make the fastest progress.

The two in the middle are Cesc Fabregas, who has a very strong ability to organize and deliver the ball, and Serbian Matic. His speed is slow, but his prevention and control ability is good, and his interception ability is also very reliable. complementary.

The three-man combination in the frontcourt is the top priority. Pedro and Hazard are two wingers with strong impact ability. Whether it is a pass from the bottom or a wonderful breakthrough, they are all good at it.

One is a former Barcelona guard with a knife, who has proven himself a long time ago, and the other is rising rapidly, and many people think that he will be the third player after Melo.

This duel is not only a battle between Manchester City and Chelsea, but also a spark between him and Zhao hit the earth. We can see who is worthy of these two. After Melo, the world is number one.

Judging from Zhao's recent state, it seems a bit dangerous. He may have encountered a novice wall. Facing the defense of the third-tier league, as a center forward, he only had a few good supports. He didn't score a single goal. One goal, I hope he can adjust his state in this game and bring us a wonderful performance.

At the top is Spain's Costa, who should be one of the most comprehensive centers in the Premier League. Whether it is grabbing a shot, retreating to catch the ball, or counterattacking and getting the ball forward, he is good at it.

His comprehensiveness even exceeds that of Aguero. Of course, his sense of smell and shooting skills in front of the goal are slightly worse. This is only a little worse than Aguero, but it does not mean that he is a little worse than other Premier League centers. "

"Let's talk briefly about Chelsea's tactical characteristics and see how they compare to Manchester City.

Chelsea's obsession with football control is obviously much worse than that of Manchester City, but Conte will not allow defenders to open their feet at will and kick out of the sideline to deal with football with a very low success rate.

The reason why Louis can occupy the main position in Chelsea is not because of his defense, but because of his handling of the football. He can steadily deliver the football forward, which can be called a card dealer in the backcourt.He can avoid the opponent's press at the first time, and find the right opportunity to transmit firepower.

His advantage has been brought into full play in Chelsea. Compared with the other two defender partners, he can even use his overall view to pass a very threatening through ball, tear the opponent's defense line, and speed up the counterattack. Manchester City's Even if the double central defender has this ability, he will hardly show it.

As a central defender, he will even advance with the ball and organize the offense. In the process, once he is flanked by the opponent, there will be a risk of losing the ball. Therefore, in the Chelsea game, we can see that Matic will often appear On the back line, protect him.

And another offensive midfielder of the team, Cesc Fabregas, can also organize and dispatch with full authority. He can pass the ball more accurately and quickly to the frontcourt to find teammates, and he can also break through with the ball and create threats, because Matic and Card Hill, Azpilicueta's defensive ability, he hardly needs to retreat to defend.This has something in common with Zhao in Manchester City's current position. Of course, his impact is much worse than Zhao's.

Alonso and Moses flying together on both sides are the most distinctive features of Chelsea. They have excellent forward awareness and good speed. When necessary, they can even enter the opponent's defensive third area like wingers. They can not only become The two support points on the wing, and add very strong pressure to the opponent's wing. Manchester City's two wing defenses are not strong enough, which is likely to become a breakthrough for Chelsea.

Alonso and Moses take the ball from the wing, Pedro with very strong personal strength, Hazard will have more room to move, both of them are masters of running without the ball, Manchester City's central defender and full-back The gap between the ribs will be fully utilized by them.

Hazard's sudden advance is also one of the distinctive features of Chelsea's offense this season.

Manchester City's defense in this area has always been a big problem. Facing these two players in this game, there may be big problems.

"

"Another characteristic of Chelsea's attack is the swapping of two wingers and full-backs. Alonso's shooting is excellent. At certain times, Pedro will pull to the outside to break through, and Alonso will squeeze into the center to attack.

This kind of transposition on the field can also be seen in Manchester City, but it is not the transposition between the full-back and the frontcourt, but the transposition between Zhao and De Bruyne or even Aguero. Enriching the team's offensive tactics can make the defensive players extremely uncomfortable and cause a short-term defensive confusion. Even if it is only two or three seconds, you can get a very dangerous gap.

Zhao and De Bruyne's sudden switch has achieved quite good results, so Manchester City should be very familiar with Chelsea's tactical play.

In the middle lane, Diego Costa has always been a master of fighting. He is most famous for his two characteristics, ugly and dirty.

He can contain the defense of one or two central defenders, making the opposing central defender miserable.

Stones will definitely suffer in his hands, Otamendi... if anxious, bloodshed is very likely.

And Hazard, he is definitely one of the best wingers. He can complete the task of a winger in the attack, repeatedly hit the opponent's hinterland, and can also use his super pass control ability to occupy the midfielder position and respond to Kos. Tower's return, as well as the long pass in the midfield, continue to enrich Chelsea's offensive system.

His creative ability is eye-catching, averaging up to 5 times per game, and the number of violations has reached 3 times.

Super strong ability allows him to create excellent shooting and passing opportunities. So many violations can also show how much the opponent attaches importance to him. He will often use double-team tactics and tactical fouls to limit his ability. play.

He can play multiple positions in the frontcourt, plus his breakthrough ability and ability to create opportunities, which are similar to Zhao's characteristics, but his organizational ability is slightly inferior. In Manchester City, after Silva was injured, Zhao was very fast. Adapting to his new position, he has more control over the rhythm of the team's offense than Hazard.

Chelsea's rich tactics, the constant change of players, not only the rotation between forwards and defenders, even the backcourt players may also appear in the midfielder's position, which allows every Chelsea player to have a stage to play.

It also makes the team more united and confident.

In terms of the structure of the wing, even Guardiola did not specifically require the rotation of full-backs and central players. His tactical thinking has extremely high requirements for full-backs, and few players can adapt. Fortunately, Alonso With rich experience, Moses seems to have been enlightened suddenly. When the two players execute tactics, they can meet Conte's requirements for basic passing, precise crossing, and breakthrough and transposition.

Alonso's organization and Moses' assists can adapt to different tactical needs. Whether it is putting pressure on the opponent's defender through personal ability, or following the opponent's offensive core and protecting the defense, they have played very well.

Conte's lineup is extremely inconsistent with the tradition of the Premier League, 4231, 442, 433 is the mainstream.

But he used his outstanding record to prove that the 3421 system can also be successful. Leicester City failed to stop Manchester City. Let's see if Chelsea can beat Manchester City with its own distinctive tactical system. "

The players entered the pitch and the Stamford Bridge crowd cheered their team with the loudest applause and cheers.

The Blues Chelsea, at home against Blue Moon Manchester City, are on the verge of firing.

The home jerseys of both teams are blue. Chelsea's blue is deeper, similar to Fox City's. Manchester City's blue is relatively shallow. Of course, Manchester City's away game is still replaced by the classic black.

This is also the origin of Zhao Gang's title of Black Lightning.

His dribbling speed is extremely fast. More than once, when a dragon breaks through, he runs out a zigzag effect similar to lightning. Looking down from the air, the route is like a black lightning, inserting from one's own half into the opponent's hinterland.

The most famous one was the away game against Real Madrid, and Casemiro became a corner of the lightning turning point.

Chelsea fans, after experiencing the joy at the beginning of the game, and the confusion after the two-game losing streak, now once again saw the invincible iron-blooded team.

Zhao Gang stepped on the lawn of Stamford Bridge and looked up at the auditorium. Abramovich stood on the stand and clapped his hands non-stop with a smile on his face.

Abramovich almost brought Zhao Gang to Stamford Bridge, at least he thought so.

At the beginning, the reason Perrin gave was that Chelsea was in civil turmoil and moles were being caught everywhere. Such a team was not suitable for the young Zhao Gang.

In fact, this is just a reason for rejection. Zhao Gang had already chosen Manchester City or Arsenal.

This year, Chelsea regrouped and united as one. Abramovich felt that if possible, he would bring Zhao Gang back to Stamford Bridge.

The players are ready and the referee blows the whistle to start the game.

Manchester City pick side, Chelsea the ball.

Cesc Fabregas received the ball, looked it over and started to lunge forward.

Cesc Fabregas is indeed an excellent player, but the main attacking point of this Chelsea team is not on him. In Conte's tactical system, many players may become the starting point of attacking, two full-backs, and even a central defender. .

But the real core is the front trident.

Fabregas did not choose to break through, but pushed the ball to Moses.

Moses' breakthrough can be regarded as Chelsea's offensive weapon.

After he got the ball, he quickly launched an attack on the wing.

Obviously, in this game, from the very beginning, Chelsea did not intend to shrink back, they played extremely proactively.

Fernandinho's defensive coverage is huge, and he quickly gets stuck in his position, preventing Moses from successfully completing the breakthrough.

At this time, Hazard, who was responding, was cruising in the gap between the full-back and the midfielder. He received a pass from Moses and quickly used his personal ability to pull directly to the side.

And Moses took advantage of the movement and reached the position of the front midfielder.

Hazard's personal ability is too strong, and Kolarov can't guard him. Fernandinho and Otamendi quickly went to support him.

Hazard's center of gravity is very low, which allows him to quickly stop and turn when breaking through, and his own dribbling is first-rate, so even a top defender can hardly stop him one-on-one.

Ying surpasses the king of people, and it is worthy of the name.

When he was double-teamed and hadn't completely blocked the route, Hazard passed the ball very familiarly. After Moses responded, he took advantage of the situation and made a pass. The football entered the penalty area!

Chelsea played very simply. The switch between Moses and Hazard made the Manchester City players a little uncomfortable, resulting in a lot of defensive loopholes.

The Spanish beauty pageant champion, Shengshi Meiyan Costa resisted Stones. Although the ball stopped a little awkwardly, he was still able to turn around forcibly and hit the goal with one kick!

Stones is still a little bit worse in confrontation.

"As we said, Stones will suffer against Costa alone!"
