Chapter 524 Gorgeous Storm VS Efficient Counterattack!
Shen Hao knew very well that Leeds United's new tactics were natural enemies of teams that played defensive counterattacks.
The more aggressive and crazy Leeds United are, the more likely they are to be taken away by a wave of defensive counterattacks.
Ancelotti does not play extreme counter-attacks. His accomplishments in defensive counter-attack tactics are more about the adjustment and design of the Italian chain defense in structure and team coordination.
Instead of limiting the opponent's thinking by compressing the space to the extreme.
The defensive counterattack itself will definitely limit the opponent's offensive space.
Shen Hao looked at Drogba with a feeling of helplessness rather than a headache.
Looking at the fulcrum role of Drogba in world football, is there anyone better than him now?
Stronger than him in confrontation, with ball-protecting ability based on strong confrontation...
Among the Premier League heroes, Drogba is the only forward who can make Shen Hao feel incomprehensible.
It's just that he doesn't simply design tactics to target Drogba. In the past, he used to shape the situation to limit his threat.
Chelsea are off to a hot start to the season.
Leeds United's lineup has been iterated, and the defense is weaker than last season.
It will take time for Hummels to replace Helguera as the main force and continue to grow.
The two full-backs also have a similar situation, the difference is that Baynes is already at his peak and has no room for improvement.
As the European hegemon, a conceding goal will not cause them to lose their position.
Shen Hao signaled to the team to move the main defensive area back 10 yards.
Encircle and block Chelsea's midfield as much as possible.
Chelsea's morale was greatly boosted, and Ancelotti also made gestures to the team on the sidelines based on the situation on the court to enhance the flexibility of offense and defense transitions.
As long as they can break through Leeds United's high-pressing encirclement, Chelsea's counterattack threat will be infinitely close to a fatal blow.
Leeds United kicked off and stormed the Chelsea defence.
Kaká forced Cech into a world-class save with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area.
The fans in white sighed.
Immediately after Suarez took the initiative to move in the penalty area to meet Deisler, and after hitting the wall to cooperate, Deisler made a strong pass in front of the bottom line of the right rib of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale's outflanking was taken by Alex, who took the lead and destroyed the ball out of the baseline.
The score was leading, but Ancelotti was always frowning.
Leeds United's offensive intensity prevented Chelsea from organizing a basic counterattack for a long time.
Because most of the time the defense is making clearances.
This is where Leeds United's offense is terrifying.
This is also the reason why Shen Hao took the initiative to change the technical and tactical system.
If you don't have the strength to launch a threatening offensive like a storm.
Why press and attack?
In the 21st minute of the game, Leeds United's offensive threats continued, but Chelsea's defense was also very good.
Always able to complete the ultimate rescue at the critical moment when the ball seems to be lost.
Kaka's sudden and violent attack collided with Terry in the penalty area, and the referee did not make any comment.
In the Premier League, it is basically impossible to call a foul for a collision in the penalty area.
Unless there is action other than collision.
Cech confiscated the ball and then quickly kicked the ball.
Leeds United retreated, but Ashley Cole sent a long pass from the backcourt.
This long pass found Drogba!
Drogba took off in the frontcourt and flicked his head accurately.
Anelka rushed inside to respond. After stopping the ball, before Baynes could get close, Kanter was about to return to defense.
Anelka sent a direct pass to the ground.
Drogba countered offside and advanced, Thiago Silva and Hummels teamed up to attack, but Hummels was closer.
Thiago Silva just went to block Anelka's front.
Drogba took advantage of the situation and continued to dribble forward. Hummels physically confronted Drogba during the chase and pulled him with his hands.
But Drogba still kept his focus and deliberately tried to get ahead of Hummels' route when he went to the ball next time.
As a result, Hummels collided with Drogba at the last moment and was shaken off by Drogba.
The Leeds United fans looked at the scene in front of them with expressionless faces and didn't know what they were thinking.
Drogba reached the top of the penalty area without any hesitation, and decisively volleyed!
Neuer was about to attack outside the penalty area, but still had to make a passive save.
The ball was so fast that it flashed past my eyes.
Looking back, the football flew into the upper right corner of the goal!
Drogba opened his arms and stretched and shook them repeatedly. With a domineering look on his face, he rushed towards the sidelines and slid to his knees in celebration.
The shocking three stripes were left on the brand new turf of the White Temple.
"2:0! Chelsea leads Leeds United 2:0 in the White Temple!"
"Leeds United can't score when they have the upper hand. But when they are counterattacked by a master of counterattacks like Chelsea, their defense explodes!"
"The key is Drogba, Hummels can't handle it at all!"
Hummels' expression was a mixture of nervousness and embarrassment.
As a young man, he endured the abuse of Didier Drogba.
In the face of absolute power, it seemed as if any defensive technique was ineffective.
Shen Hao's face was as dark as water, and he did not remind Hummels to stay calm.
The more he reminds him, the more Hummels will become the focus.
That will only be counterproductive.
The faces of the Leeds United generals also looked a little ugly.
Mainly because as the European hegemon, Chelsea fell behind by two goals at home.
They will not accept such a score difference.
Ancelotti glanced at Shen Hao thoughtfully.
He actually hopes that Shen Hao will change the team's techniques and tactics at this time.
In that case, no matter what the final result of this game is.
The tactical process that Leeds United have been carefully developing from pre-season to the start of the season will come to a standstill.
But what disappointed him was that Shen Hao remained unmoved.
He did give a sign to the team before kickoff.
But Leeds United did not change their style of play.
Ancelotti, who has extensive experience, certainly knows that Leeds United is currently in the rising stage of running-in tactics.
During this period, performance is often affected.
It can only be said that Leeds United's lower limit is too high, resulting in their record fluctuations not being too drastic.
Unless there are other negative factors on the basis of restrained tactics.
Leeds United continued to attack after the kick-off.
Chelsea fans were wildly excited.
They seem to have seen the dawn of victory that crushed Leeds United today.
Ending dominance is the current ambition of Premier League aspirants.
Leeds United are the target of public criticism!
At the same time, as long as they can defeat Leeds United, it will also be a convincing test of their own strength.
When Chelsea's counterattack once again threatened to sweep Leeds United's defense, Baines decisively fouled Anelka on the wing.
Stifling Chelsea's quick counterattack at the expense of yellow.
Chelsea's positional battle doesn't pose much of a threat.
The cross from the wing found Drogba in the penalty area, but the latter could not grab the point and the threat disappeared.
In the 28th minute of the game, Leeds United suddenly made a wave of transfers during the fast break in the frontcourt.
Deisler cut inside on the right to create a containment and then passed the ball back.
Kaka quickly passed the ball to Suarez after receiving the ball from behind.
Suarez, who came to the right area at the top of the penalty area to receive the ball, kicked the ball and then passed it back.
Modric took the initiative to run to meet the ball and directly sent a cross.
The football drew an arc and fell into the left flank of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale once again cut inside to the left side of the penalty area with a swift sprint.
When he stopped the ball, Suarez rushed towards the goal, Deisler outflanked him from a distance, and Chelsea's defense quickly retreated.
However, Gareth Bale spiked the ball and retreated to avoid Alex's pressing, and passed the ball back in an inverted triangle before Essien was about to get close in the next step.
Everyone's attention turned. In the penalty area occupied by a dense crowd, Kaka reached the right side of the penalty spot.
There was only that brief space of space, but it was enough for him to fire a volley.
The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Terry tried to block with his body but it was too late.
Cech was powerless this time.
The cheers from the White Temple shook all directions.
Kaka sounded the horn for Leeds United's counterattack!
Ancelotti remained calm, not because the score was still ahead.
It's that Leeds United's offensive intensity has made him ready to concede the ball.
No one knows the problems with Chelsea's squad better than he does.
Essien in the midfield has lost his former courage after suffering from injuries.
The African rhinoceros who was black and tough three or four years ago and could run and shoot long shots is now strong on the outside and capable on the inside.
This means that Chelsea's midfield defensive hardness has actually declined.
This is also the main reason why Leeds United's two midfielders, Kaká and Modric, can still play well in front of a veteran team like Chelsea that firmly holds high the banner of defense.
Leeds United recovered a goal.
The score became Leeds United 1:2 Chelsea.
Shen Hao applauded on the sidelines, but did not show a smile.
The situation of the game is actually unfavorable to Leeds United in the deep situation change.
When Hummels took a complete hug to Drogba, he failed to bring down Drogba, but at least he used a foul to kill Chelsea's chance to counterattack.
The price was that he got a yellow card.
Leeds United were forced to use fouls to increase their fault tolerance.
This in itself is a bad phenomenon because it is too early.
It's only the first half.
In the long battle ahead, Leeds United's defense will be under greater pressure.
But what makes Shen Hao happy is that Kanter's performance continues to improve.
It's not that he made progress in blocking Lampard, but that he intercepted in time and cut off Chelsea's counterattack cooperation.
In the Community Shield against Manchester United, Kante repeatedly embarrassed Rooney defensively.
The big reason is that Manchester United is not a counter-attacking team. Rooney retreats on a large scale and is incomparable with Lampard in terms of positional sense and ability.
Lampard spends half of the year fighting counterattacks, and the other half of the time is Chelsea's offensive and defensive balance and offensive battles. Therefore, he has more experience in transitioning offense and defense in the midfield and backfield, has a better sense of position, and handles the ball more reasonably.
In the 37th minute of the game, Suarez took the initiative to meet Gareth Bale on the left. The two hit the wall at close range, and Gareth Bale cut inside into the penalty area.
When Alex came to press, Gareth Bale took a step towards the baseline and then sent a cross.
Terry blocked Deisler who was cutting in and outflanking him, raised his leg and volleyed the ball away.
The ball just flew out of the penalty area, and Malouda retreated in a wide range to passively stop the ball.
As soon as he stopped the ball, Kanter came to his side.
Malouda controlled the ball and tried to get rid of it, but Kanter intercepted the ball with his precise foot!
After stealing the ball, Kanter passed the ball straight forward.
Deisler retreated to respond. After stopping the ball, he pretended to pass back but pulled the ball and turned around to get rid of Mikel who came to press him.
When accelerating to face Ashley Cole, he passed the ball diagonally into the paint.
The fast-moving Kaka has started!
The ball went directly into the penalty area, and then seemed to turn a blind eye to Terry and continued to accelerate the ball from the outside.
Terry turned around and went to block the inside line.
Kaka passed the ball one step ahead of schedule.
When the mid-high ball flew to the middle of the goal, Suarez outflanked him and volleyed the ball into the goal!
Cech was ridden in the face and his body failed to block Suarez's shot!
"Wow! Kaka assists Suarez to score! Leeds United's offensive pressure is too strong!"
"This is the power of Leeds United to innovate at the tactical level in the new season!"
"Brother Hao keeps pace with the times. He knows very well that Leeds United's current characteristic is flexibility, and the full commitment of Leeds United's players when defending is impressive. This is a new atmosphere that has never been seen in the past!"
Leeds United 2:2 Chelsea.
Chelsea fans were stunned.
The white clothes are fierce, gorgeous and shocking!
In the past summer, Shen Hao received mixed reviews from public opinion.
Those opposed to the Dutch team's World Cup win resented the country's utilitarian football.
Even Shen Hao's coaching style was scorned by them.
But now?
Shen Hao, who returned to Leeds United, created a new white shirt.
A man in white who can set off a gorgeous offensive storm on the green field!
Shen Hao is not here to prove anything.
To prove oneself to others is the stupidest thing in his opinion.
As long as you can get by, you can still be happy as a salted fish.
Why should we be kidnapped by the world?
His transformation of the team is always based on realistic conditions, and then he does his best to maximize the team's combat effectiveness.
The score became a draw.
The first half of the game is coming to an end.
Leeds United have no intention of seeking stability.
As long as the score is not leading, their slowing down the pace will only give Chelsea breathing space.
Chelsea's positional battle still failed to pose a threat.
In fact, when Leeds United plays against opponents like Chelsea, the way to achieve stability is to not be too aggressive in their tactical posture.
But given the current environment Leeds United is in and the situation of strong European teams.
For the time being, he has not seen anyone whose defensive counterattack is so strong that it makes him feel uneasy.
Ancelotti is self-aware. How could Shen Hao not see Essien's situation?
Essien's ability value has dropped by 4 points from its peak.
It was so obvious, how could he turn a blind eye.
Therefore, if Chelsea's defensive counterattack structure does not shift to extreme counterattack, Shen Hao does not think they can still perform as well as last season.
Although they are in good shape now, they cannot withstand the impact of fluctuations.
The first half of the game just entered injury time.
Ivanovic's clearance ball from the backcourt directly found Anelka in the frontcourt.
Anelka stopped the ball and dribbled inside, seemingly forming a connection with Drogba.
But he passed the ball back.
Kante braked suddenly and turned around to pounce on Lampard, but Lampard directly delivered a through ball after plugging in!
The ball penetrated the Leeds defence.
Thiago Silva and Hummels strengthened their defense against Drogba and Anelka.
As a result, Malouda had a lot of space to cut inside.
Lampard's through ball created Malouda's single goal.
Neuer also struck quickly, but Malouda was more decisive, more than 35 yards from the goal, and directly lobbed the ball.
Neuer looked back at the football falling towards the goal, and finally sighed helplessly.
The football bounced off the ground and flew into the goal!
Chelsea scores again!
Leading the score again!
