166 Godsend opportunity!
In the first 15 minutes before the second round of the Champions League group stage in Monaco's home match against Chelsea, all fans of Louis II Stadium saw that Monaco's offensive was more active, but Chelsea's defense was orderly. Not only did the defense line defend without leaking, Monaco's shots that tried some ordinary opportunities were easily resolved by Cech. Chelsea was not a solid piece of iron, but also made Monaco feel a headache.
In the 16th minute of the game, Chelsea easily cut off the connection between Falcao and Suarez in the backcourt. After Carvalho intercepted the ball, he sent the ball to the left.
Ashley Cole made a first eye-catching performance after the opening. He dribbled for more than 50 yards from the backcourt side. When he arrived at the dangerous area of the frontcourt offense, Perez assisted in the defense on the side. Ashley Cole and Anelka, who took the initiative to come to meet, hit the wall to cooperate. When facing Modesto, he played a pass and cut with Maluda.
As we ran up all the way, the cooperation between Ashley Cole and his teammates was smooth and smooth, and even the speed was almost balanced and fast!
The Monaco defense line suddenly sounded the alarm. Ashley Cole had no strength to cut across and into the penalty area after falling from the bottom. Besides, that was not his style. At least he was not like this at Chelsea. During the Arsenal period, he formed a golden left with Pire and Henry, which was really prosperous.
Ashley Cole's cross in front of the baseline flew to the back point of the penalty area. Karau quickly stepped forward and received the match. Veltonghen leaned back and jumped back to clear the ball but was over. Karau faced the ball at the back of the penalty area and volleyed directly!
Although it seemed like a volley, it didn't give out the power, and it was more like a cushion. Therefore, the football's speed was not fast, giving De Gea plenty of time to save. De Gea moved to the goal post. The fans were frightened, but De Gea hugged the ball smoothly, which immediately gave everyone a reassurance!
Situ Yunbing's face was a little unfair and quite solemn, mainly because Chelsea's offensive center is dispatched by Lampard, and Ashley Cole and Maluda on the left. The former was the first left back in the Premier League a few years ago. When Carlos and Sanior, who have been famous for their long-time left back, retired or at the end of their career, Ashley Cole was even qualified to compete for the world's number one left back at a certain stage. Unfortunately, he was unable to sit steadily. After transferring to Chelsea, his offensive lost a certain degree of sharpness. This is due to Chelsea's conservative morale and style of coaching Mourinho. However, for now, in the Premier League, he is still the top three level. Without Manchester United's Evra, he would definitely still be the top throne.
Maluda was born in Ligue 1 and was more familiar with Ligue 1 teams, so she was more sensitive to seize opportunities.
Chelsea's style is clear at a glance, with a solid defense line and a sudden acceleration. This is the case with world-class teams. If it is stable, first-class teams will find it difficult to find the flaws in their defense line. At least it is impossible to suppress the opponent's attack and the opponent has no power to fight back.
But Monaco is too eager to win at home and has a high fighting spirit. They try hard to cause trouble for Chelsea and make a sharp offensive in local cooperation.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Monaco attacked from the right. Modesto assisted in the frontcourt and tried to attract Chelsea defense players to the side to assist in defense, but Essin and Lampard seemed to be unmoved. Perhaps they were full of confidence in Ashley Cole, and it was impossible for Modesto to beat the front, and they did not believe that Modesto dared to walk one way to the black realm and wade down the bottom.
Ancelotti did a good job in studying his opponents before the game, otherwise he would not have said that he would like to send his assistant to Monaco for a while to study. It was obviously a thorough study of Monaco players.
The opponent was not fooled, Modesto could only make a cross from the wing 45 degrees to avoid delaying the fighter plane. In addition, if Maluda returns to defend, he also has the risk of losing the ball.
This cross did not create a threat, and Terry easily headed the ball in the penalty area to clear the ball.
However, after the football was pushed to the periphery, Beletti was caught in a close counterattack when he took the ball!
Originally, Beletti should have been used to this kind of close counterattack, because such pressing is too common in the Premier League.
But the problem is that he plays on the right back, and Ancelotti puts him in the right forward position. He has too many factors to worry about, at least much more than when he stays on the wing, and Matic took the opportunity to intercept the ball.
Matic intercepted the ball and sent out the oblique plug on the spot.
Ivanovic was quite surprised because Gareth Bale was ahead of him, but Matic's pass was sent behind him.
He turned around and found that Suarez was on the side to meet. Suarez was always very active in such a big scene. Compared to Falcao, he was more inclined to wait for opportunities to score. Suarez had better performance in connecting the teams, and at the same time, he had a large range of activities and had more opportunities.
When Ivanovic turned to defend Suarez, the latter directly picked the ball and cut it across the cross-section under his feet. Ivanovic stretched his legs to intercept it and fell into a flew. The football flew less than 30 cm above his feet, and Suarez ran quickly from a place close to the bottom line.
Ancelotti added protection to the right defense, but still failed to completely curb Monaco's turmoil here. Although it was different from Ancelotti's expected method, at least Gareth Bale did not have a chance to perform well.
But this time, after Suarez cut across the ball and entered the penalty area, he blocked Terry and Suarez knocked the ball back diagonally.
Gareth Bale quickly cut in and scored a cold shot before Essin intercepted!
The ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal. Cech jumped and blocked the ball with one hand with a wonderful hand. Carvalho was very protective in front of the goal. While blocking Falcao, he retreated to the small penalty area to clear the ball out of the baseline.
Monaco fans in the stands of Louis II Stadium were very satisfied with the team's performance. It was already very good to play Chelsea like this!
Three minutes later, Chelsea attacked in the frontcourt. Lampard attracted Matic and Perez to press him continuously after pushing in the middle. Lampard calmly hit the ball across the right side, and Essin suddenly came out!
The strong Essin was like an unstoppable rhino and quickly drove to the front of Monaco's penalty area.
Nkuru cautiously intercepted head-on, for fear of being broken through or shot from Essim.
Who knew that Essin passed the ball at this time, and the football rolled to the left in front of the penalty area. Anelka stopped the ball and was robbed by Benatia. He skillfully and flexibly dialed the ball and dodged it. Then he saw Vertonghen moving to defend the middle, but his teammates did not cut in time, so Anelka shot by himself!
The shot with a goal of about 20 yards away from the goal was very threatening. The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the middle of the goal. De Gea fell to the ground and rushed across the penalty area with one hand!
Seeing Maluda rushing to make a comeback, Modesto snatched the ball first and kicked the ball out of the baseline. When the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the left post, Modesto himself was shocked and sweated.
Almost an affair!
call!
The fans of the audience were amazed.
Situ Yunbing applauded Modesto!
Chelsea has a bit of a surprise attack, and some midfielders will soon rush up quickly.
If Maluda Kalao and others are all open cards, then Ashley Cole, Beletti, and Essin are all secret chess. You don’t know who will suddenly exert force and bring out a threatening attack rhythm!
It's hard to defend!
Ancelotti was chewing gum on the sidelines, looking calm.
So far, although Monaco has created dangerous situations in Chelsea's penalty area, there has not yet been a headache for Chelsea!
Ivanovic has some flaws in the defense because he is young, which is natural. This is within Ancelotti's expectations, otherwise he would not have gone to Beletti to deliberately strengthen the control on the right.
In the 31st minute of the game, the two teams had a feeling that they could not get their opponents. At this time, Monaco suddenly accelerated the attack on the left, and could not open the situation on the right, and attacking the left was an attempt.
Morro took the initiative to cross the half-court. After receiving the pass from Vertonheng, he quickly completed the triangle pass with Matic and Gareth Bale, and then dribbled the ball directly to the bottom. Ivanovic was honest in the backcourt today, but Monaco's left offense was indeed unpredictable. Gareth Bale had the impact speed and he had to defend the inside, while Morro suddenly stepped forward on the outside, which made it difficult for him to take care of the head and tail.
Morro knocked the ball across the penalty area in front of the baseline.
Suarez inserted diagonally to meet the front point, Terry defended behind him, trying to force Suarez to go outside the wing. When Suarez pretended to pass the ball to Garez Bale, Terry's defensive center of gravity was recovered, but the next second Suarez suddenly spiked the ball and turned around, caught Terry off guard!
This is a Cruyff turning around!
Suarez bent down as he turned around and almost crawled past Terry!
Terry, a defender who is an orthodox European defender, is actually the cunning striker in South America!
If he was asked to choose, facing the best forward in Europe and the best forward in South America, he would definitely choose the former, because the former is mostly more dependent on the team, with good shooting skills, good running awareness, and strong ability to seize opportunities. However, the forwards in South America have no fixed path at all. Top South American forwards can maximize their technical advantages on the basis of the team, rather than relying entirely on the team.
After Suarez turned around and wiped Terry, Chelsea's defense finally endured the biggest test since the start of the game!
Carvalho must keep a close eye on Falcao. Essin retreated to make up for the position in the penalty area. Goalkeeper Cech decisively abandoned the goal and ran towards Suarez, preventing him from dialing the ball and expanding the shooting angle out at any time. As long as Suarez dials the ball and changes direction, Cech will definitely save!
At this time, Suarez made a choice that Situ Yunbing couldn't help but applaud.
He knocked the ball back when he was two meters away from Cech!
Chelsea has an empty goal!
Garez Bale ran wildly, and Essin immediately put a shovel to block Garez Bale's shooting angle. Garez Bale ran fast, and the pass distance between Suarez's pass and him was less than 10 yards, which gave Garez Bale no time to adjust. If he shot with his right foot, the ball would be better controlled, but he insisted on using his left foot, which turned out to be slower, and the shot could only be poked out with his toes!
Under the gaze of attention, all Monaco fans who were looking forward to it saw that Gareth Bale clearly did not adjust his step point, and the instant he shot with his left foot, he shoveled the ball with his toes!
The football that flew above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line simply broke Monaco fans' hearts!
Gareth Bale staggered after shooting, and with Essing's flying tackle, he fell to the ground and half of his body pressed on Essing.
He quickly turned to the side, lay on the grass and covered his face with his hands.
Suarez walked over and bent down without saying anything, but just touched his head, as if to comfort him and not take it to heart.
Perhaps Suarez, as a striker, has long been used to this situation.
Chapter completed!
