Wang Ai and Makelele are two extremes.For the former, football is equal to: offense, offense, offense!
For the latter, football equals: defend, defend, defend!
Wang Ai can shoot, pass, and penetrate, and Makelele can get in position, steal, and fill in the position.Wang Ai plays the front midfield, the position is almost equal to the shadow striker, and Makelele plays the back midfield, but the position is almost to the back line.However, it cannot be said that Makelle was not ambitious, and he was born in Kinshasa and later became a French citizen.In the impetuous commercial football circle, he did not choose the route of competing with attacking players in Essien, but played the role of a sapper, doing dirty work and hard work, which the club's top management did not pay attention to, and the fans could not remember.So much so that when he was the main player in Real Madrid, he only asked Zidane for half of his salary.However, he did not steal the limelight, but ensured his position on the field and playing time.No manager can ignore a purely defensive, but capable midfielder, which provides a strong guarantee for him, an "outsider", to be based in the five major leagues and the French national team.He has been at Real Madrid for three years, and his playing chances are not much different from Zidane, Figo, Raul, Carlos, and even more than Guti.Makelele is the kind of extreme, big-sized role player that his position further back than the average midfielder and his style of play have formed a proper noun: "Makelele position"!
At Chelsea, Wang Ai and Makelele were not familiar with each other at first, and now they are not friends off the field, but they are the opponents who like to practice the most in training.Therefore, when Kaka, Shevchenko, and Gilardino were trapped in Makelele and even at a loss, Wang Ai knew that with such a high-intensity confrontation and efficient interception, Claude actually couldn't hold out for too long, half an hour at most.If Jose's risky midfielder can't change the scoreline, the game will be handed over to AC Milan.Kaka and the other three were angrily beating the black charcoal head of Makelele, grinning and sparks splashing everywhere, and Wang Ai, who had high hopes, was also speeding up.Fortunately, after five or six minutes of trial in the opening game, the assists of Graremi and Del Horno have taken away the defensive energy of Seedorf and Gattuso, and the situation of Wang Ai, Duff, Lampard, Robben against Pirlo, Stam and Serginho has been fixed.Four to three!
Sometimes Drogba's retreat becomes a five-on-three!
It was Chelsea's favourable scoring opportunity before the stubborn Carlo Ancelotti reversed course and withdrew Kaka, or before they took on Claude Makelele's position.Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti is hoping that the Kaka trio will quickly deplete Makelele's reserves and then come and go freely, or perhaps Ancelotti trusts the backline he has built to withstand Chelsea's numerical advantage.In short, this is now a choice for both sides to bet on their own defensive system to play more with less and resist the pressure of the opponent, but at the same time hope that their own strong front court can be the first to break through the opponent's defense.In the first ten minutes, the defenders on both sides were sweating profusely.Jose's first strike and Makelele's stubbornness made the main fights between the two sides concentrated on the two flanks.And the wings are what Chelsea do best.Opportunities are coming.At three o'clock in the morning Beijing time, nine o'clock in the evening Italian time, in the 15th minute of the opening of the first leg of the European Champions Cup semifinals, Kaka received Pirlo's straight plug from the middle, started quickly, and after five or six steps, it was close to "taking off", Shevchenko and Gilardino quickly crossed Makelele, Shevchenko interspersed between Terry and Gallas, and Gilardino was cruising in the corner of the penalty area, ready to respond at any time."
Bang"!
At the same time that Kaka confidently brushed Makelele, the black charcoal snatched the ball with a single kick.Shevchenko held his head in his hands in frustration, he had practiced anti-offside before the game, but he couldn't use it at all, so he couldn't really go back and play with Kaka to deal with a Makelele, right?
But before Shevchenko could adjust his mentality, Makelele had already passed the ball to Del Horno, who was receiving on the side.The tall Basque looked around and made a decisive pass to Robben on the left wing.Gattuso kept his eye on Duff and the pair jumped up near the touchline, before Robben, who took the lead and lost his centre of gravity in the air after being hit by Gattuso, kept his head steady and gave the ball to Frank Lampard in an eerie position.Lampard ignored his team-mates and Gattuso and crossed to team-mate Wang Ai before Pirlo could get in and Wang Ai, who did not advance rashly with the ball under the watchful eye of the retreating Seedorf and the cautious Kaladze, but crossed again to Duff, who had already shaken off Serginho on the right flank.Duff simply went down and returned with a cross close to the baseline.At this time, Drogba and Wang Ai had already pounced on the goal, and Lampard moved behind the two, ready to grab the second blow with Pirlo!
Even Robben had already gotten up and "led" Gattuso to quickly approach the corner of the free throw area on the left, and if Duff was slow, it would be three people at the same time.It's a busy affair for Nesta and Kaladze!
Nesta pounced on Drogba at the front point, and Kaladze pulled Wang Ai at the back point.Noisy San Siroly, every heart is beating faster!
Staring at the results of this confrontation between these seven or eight world-famous stars.The jumping Drogba was a fraction of a second off the fast flying ball under Nesta's powerful onslaught, but he managed to attract Dida's attention, so much so that the back half of the goal was almost empty.Is Wang Ai going to score?
You can't miss such an opportunity, right?
Even an old handsome man like Zhang Yin in the stands straightened his back!
But people soon noticed that Kaladze, who was defending the back point, noticed Wang Ai's threat at the first time, and pulled Wang Ai's arm, and in Wang Ai's powerful running, he was staggered by the pull, so that Drogba and Nesta jumped up at the same time, and they couldn't control their feet and lay down head-on.But his pull finally forcibly stopped Wang Ai's charge, and even Wang Ai was dragged by his gravity and fell on his back, no matter what, he couldn't adjust the center of gravity of his body between the lightning and flint to complete the shot.A sigh rose in the chest of the Chelsea man.But before this breath really rushed out of his mouth, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Ai, who had lost his center of gravity, leaned back, kicked the ground with his right foot, and then sent his left foot out.The flying ball hit the arch of Wang Ai's foot, and it swerved and flew over the goal line.()
