Chapter 597: Double Crown


"The ball was passed to the left, Neymar stopped and dribbled the ball horizontally" "Crossing the ball along the edge of the penalty area, Drogba came out of the penalty area, received the ball and knocked back. 800" "Vidal goes forward, catches the ball and passes it."

"Drogba stopped the ball, turned around, and passed to the right."

"Sturridge quickly inserted into the penalty area and received the ball" "Beautiful, Terry firmly blocked the position.

There was no chance.

Sturridge had to pass back."

"Drogba received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

There was no one to defend him.

It was a good opportunity.

He kicked the ball directly and hit the goal."

"The ball went in" "goa" "In the eleventh minute of the first half, former Chelsea player Didier Drogba used a wonderful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area to penetrate the goal guarded by Cech, one to zero."

"Southampton played so exquisitely in this attack."

"From Neymar taking the ball on the left and cutting inside, to Drogba coming out of the penalty area to connect, to Vidal's forward penetration, and Sturridge's diagonal penetration into the penalty area, they are all doing everything possible to create Chelsea in the penalty area.

Defensive loopholes at the cutting edge” "It's so exciting.

Chelsea's defense only lasted eleven minutes before it was knocked open by the Saints."

"Drogba, the former Chelsea player, almost made his old club suffer after switching to Southampton."

"What's interesting is that Southampton's starting lineup for this game includes Drogba, Sturridge and Matic, all former Chelsea players."

“And in Chelsea’s squad, Benatia and Adam Lallana are former Southampton players.”

"But these two teams are the most bitter enemies in the Premier League this season.

Three days ago, in the English FA Cup final, Southampton beat Chelsea with a score of 5-0."

"Now, judging from the first ten minutes of this game, Chelsea still have not been able to find an effective tactic to restrain Southampton, nor have they been able to get over the shadow of the disastrous defeat three days ago."

As play resumed, Chelsea were awarded the kick-off.

But soon, the ball escaped the control of the Blues and returned to Southampton's feet.

"Compared to a year ago, the changes in Southampton are really impressive."

Platini, as the president of UEFA and a former world superstar, can naturally see things that other laymen cannot by watching football.

"What's the difference?"

Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Are you testing me?"

Platini said in a funny tone.

Damn it, why do you say that I am also the president of UEFA and you asked me so loudly in front of my face?

If I can't answer, why don't I have to embarrass myself in front of so many people?

Master Kehuan did raise his brows, but he was still smiling, as if to say, I can’t trouble you.

Platini had no idea.

He thought for a moment and nodded: "The main thing is that the entire tactical system has become more sophisticated, especially in local areas.

Download the novel."

"Southampton's tactics a year ago were very advanced, especially the high-intensity pressing and pressing, which was very eye-catching.

However, this kind of tactics is good, but it takes too much physical energy and consumes too much."

"So, in the past year, Bielsa should mainly focus on the details."

"On the whole, the Saints' tactical philosophy is still Bielsa's, and the defensive end is still the same.

They regain the ball in the shortest possible time.

But with the same high-position defense, a year later Now, the Saints are doing a more sophisticated job of cutting the opponent's passing lanes and cutting off the opponent's offensive space with the ball."

Having said this, Platini nodded and said, "Obviously, Bielsa's team has put in a lot of effort."

When Yang Huan heard this, he had to tilt his head slightly.

Platini is absolutely right The same is true for defense.

Compared with last season, Southampton has indeed improved a lot this season.

However, in the eyes of many people, Southampton is still the same, desperate high press.

As everyone knows, with this set of high-position pressing, Southampton can play many different tricks.

The most obvious point is that the players' physical exertion is much less than last season.

At this moment, in the stadium, Chelsea's attack was intended to be passed to Juan Mata, but it was destroyed by Matic.

Although the ball was still at Chelsea's feet, the Blues had to pass the ball back to the backcourt and then drive to the frontcourt.

"Chelsea failed to find effective passing penetration routes and could only frequently take big shots and failed."

Platini shook his head and sighed.

After seeing Southampton regain the ball, from a high position, you can see the overall offensive situation of Southampton.

"The defensive end has been upgraded, and the offensive end has made considerable improvements."

Platini saw some offensive ways again.

"The Saints are very resolute in speeding up the transition from defense to offense, but they do not speed up the entire midfield and frontcourt together like in the past.

Instead, they are very targeted, obviously in order to reasonably distribute the physical energy consumption of the players."

Yang Huan nodded with a smile, acquiescing.

"Break through and cross from the wing, cut in from the wing and attack with the ribs, insert from the center, and then insert with the outside and attack with the ribs."

Platini laughed in surprise.

"Southampton's entire offense is very rich in methods, very subtle in switching, and the players have high execution ability.

In addition, the three lines remain compact and have very good flexibility.

Whether it is offense or defense, the effect is particularly ideal."

"Looking at Chelsea, David Luiz and Mikel formed a double defensive midfielder, but the effect was not ideal.

Ramirez and Lampard's midfielder inserted from behind, and there was no threat as imagined."

"After Juan Mata, the only player in the entire starting lineup with the ability to advance the ball, was strangled, Chelsea's entire offensive system was frozen and could not pose a threat at all."

Having said this, Platini sighed, "Judging from the starting tactics, Bielsa completely restrained Zenden."

After a pause, he added: "Perhaps, he should consider Adam Lallana."

But he immediately felt that it was not very appropriate, "If Adam Lallana is played, the midfielder may not be able to hold on."

The UEFA president quickly shook his head, "There is no way.

Chelsea's entire midfield and frontcourt were completely cut apart and there was no cooperation.

Not only did it put its offense and defense into a disadvantageous situation, but it also put Too much space in Southampton.”

Obviously, Platini also feels that Chelsea has little chance of winning.

At least, the one-to-zero score on the field and Southampton's 64% ball possession rate all illustrate this point.

It turns out that it is indeed difficult for Chelsea to have a chance.

The Blues' first shot of the game took place in the 31st minute.

It's hard to imagine that Chelsea would be so embarrassed by Southampton, a newly promoted team from the Premier League.

They couldn't score for half an hour.

In the end, Lampard had no choice but to take the first shot.

This is a long shot of very high quality but from a long distance.

Neuer lifted the ball over the crossbar very steadily, and then steadily picked Chelsea's corner kick out of mid-air.

After that, Southampton continued to launch wave after wave of attacks against Chelsea, but in the end they failed to score.

Chelsea was very passive throughout the first half, and even only managed three embarrassing shots.

In the second half, after making adjustments during the half-time break, Southampton immediately overwhelmed Chelsea.

Under the heavy beating of the Saints, the Blues once again showed their flaws.

A precise long pass from Matic in the backcourt.

Drogba firmly suppressed Terry in the front and controlled the ball in the penalty area.

Sturridge on the right was very smart and got rid of Ash.

Liker then ran towards the middle.

Drogba overwhelmed Terry in the penalty area, stopped the ball, turned his back to the goal, and passed the ball to the center.

James Rodriguez, who came in at high speed, rushed into the penalty area under the entanglement of David Luiz.

He spotted the ball and passed it with his heel, knocking the ball to Stu who came diagonally from the right.

Rich.

The England forward faced James Rodriguez's wonderful back-heel pass.

He did not waste his teammates' generous donation.

After blocking Mikel with his body, he stopped with his right foot and followed up with his left hand.

A curve ball from the foot.

The ball drew an exquisite arc, with extremely fierce rotation, and hit the upper left corner of the goal.

Despite Cech's reaction, he was unable to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Two to zero Under the pressure of Southampton's consecutive goals, Chelsea's acting head coach Zenden finally couldn't hold on anymore.

The former Dutch star made three substitutions in a row in just ten minutes, with the intention of adjusting the team and further strengthening the team's offense.

Especially the introduction of Adam Lallana really activated Chelsea's frontcourt attack.

But this also brings huge hidden dangers to the defense.

As a result, the two wings of Neymar and Sturridge were completely activated.

Especially Neymar.

Throughout the game, the Brazilian stars did not perform too eye-catchingly.

However, with the changes in Chelsea's formation, the left wing gained more space for movement.

Neymar began to display his outstanding personal strength, completing breakthroughs on the left wing again and again, creating threats, and became the most eye-catching player on the court. players.

In the last thirty minutes of the second half, it became Neymar's solo.

Especially in the 81st minute, Alaba knocked back and Neymar got the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

Chelsea's defense, which was turned upside down by Neymar throughout the second half, was once again shocked.

The moment the Brazilian star picked up the ball, there were four Chelsea players around him moving towards him.

But Neymar, a talented artist, was bold and smashed the ball into the penalty area.

After avoiding Chelsea's first wave of defensive players, he soon ushered in Benatia.

In the penalty area, the defensive side did not dare to make a move easily, but Neymar had no such scruples.

I saw the Brazilian was like a wild dragon, making a sudden stop in the penalty area and then suddenly accelerating.

He forced himself on Benatia, created a gap, and forced a pass with his left foot.

Drogba has been patiently waiting for the pass from Neymar.

As soon as he saw the ball coming, the Ivorian immediately rushed forward, directly crushed Terry with his body, and hit the goal with a header three to zero Drogba scored twice The whole Amsterdam Arena was in a state of excitement Countless fans are chanting Neymar and Drogba's name Three to zero, in such a crucial match, Southampton defeated Chelsea.

Especially immediately afterwards, Bielsa was very smart to replace Neymar, Drogba and Javi Martinez respectively, so that these three players could receive applause and cheers from all the fans in the audience.

Enjoy this heroic treatment, they deserve it.

Because it is their outstanding performance and play that have led to Southampton's current results.

Therefore, all the Saints fans present gave high praise and affirmation without hesitation.

The game finally ended with a burst of cheers from the Saints fans and a loud song of "We are the champions."

Southampton once again defeated Chelsea 3-0 with Drogba's brace and Sturridge's goal.
