"Beep——" With Howard Webb's whistle, the 2005-06 Community Shield final officially entered the second half!
At the same time as the whistle sounded, Drogba, who was standing in the center circle, quickly passed the ball to Alonso behind him, and then ran forward without looking back, directly finding Gallas who had just replaced him. Robert Huth!
To be honest, the reason why Drogba was able to win the competition with Klose and secure the position of Tottenham's main center was more because George valued the huge help that the Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft can provide to the team on the defensive end. , and the strong ability to attract the attention of the opponent's defensive players!
This is also the main reason why even if Klose becomes more and more comprehensive, it will be difficult for him to take the initiative in the competition with Drogba - compared with the Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft, Klose's ability to seize opportunities in the game is even better. Even better, his support ability has also made great progress in the year since he moved to Tottenham. However, in terms of tactical role, especially Tottenham, which has two top wingers, Robben and Ronaldo, they are better at running through the ball. Klose, who cooperates with passes and cuts to create scoring opportunities instead of acting as a bridgehead in the frontcourt to pull and contain, is obviously not as good as Drogba!
You know, in George's tactical system, the most important role of the center is to serve as the tactical fulcrum of the frontcourt, attracting defensive firepower and stretching space, and his own scoring ability is secondary. Of course, this does not mean that George does not value the scoring ability of his center. After all, the first criterion for measuring a forward's level is always his or her scoring ability!
In fact, the Swedish Tower was George's first choice when he joined Tottenham. Just because the effect of Ibrahimovic's own tactical system is too strong, and the training cycle is indeed too long, George gave up on Ibrahimovic and chose Drogba, who has stronger tactical execution ability.
Drogba is also very clear about his strengths, and he also knows that as a forward, he is not yet sharp in terms of nose and offensive awareness in front of the goal. If you have to compete with Klose in these abilities, you will definitely lose in the end!
In this case, then it is better for you to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and actively seek out physical confrontations with the opponent's defensive players when attacking, so as to open up a breakthrough for the team. In this way, you can not only effectively contain the opponent's defensive strength, but also give full play to your own advantages in strength and physical confrontation!
Therefore, Huth, who just came off the bench, and Gala before him, naturally became Drogba's priority targets in this Community Shield final! Although the physical fitness of these two players is not bad, it also depends on who they are compared with. Facing Drogba, whose strength and flexibility are comparable to Vieri at his peak, the two of them are obviously far behind!
Although Drogba's approach is a bit suspicious of picking on soft persimmons, it is also the best way to maximize the power of Warcraft itself. After all, no matter how strong Terry's ability is and how fast he is in filling positions, he has not reached the level where Nesta could support a defense line by one person. Once Terry goes to help defend Drogba, there will inevitably be omissions in the defense area he is responsible for. Drogba, who has successfully attracted double-teams, can distribute the ball to other teammates who intervene in the attack, thus threatening Chelsea's goal. !
When Essien and Makelele were on the court at the same time in the first half, their rotation and timely double-teaming could well reduce the threat posed by Drogba on the offensive end and avoid such loopholes in Chelsea's defense. And now, with Mourinho replacing the Ghanaian Buffaloes with Gudjohnsen to strengthen their offense, Makelele, who is left with only one player, naturally has no way to protect the front line of his own defense while simultaneously filling in for Terry or double-teaming. Drogba's job!
In the 56th minute, Ibrahimovic made a mistake in passing the ball to Ribery. Gerrard intercepted it midway and passed it to Alonso. After getting the ball, the latter looked up slightly and then raised his foot to send it out. A long pass, accurately passed the ball to Drogba who was fighting with Huth in the frontcourt, counterattack!
Although Huth's air defense and frontal confrontation capabilities are much more reliable than Gallas, and his strength is considered first-class among defenders, in this aerial confrontation with Drogba, the German, who struggled a lot, finally won Defeated. By the time Huth stood firm and planned to continue defending, Drogba had already completed his turn and firmly controlled the ball from Alonso at his feet!
Terry, who noticed that Huth was not Drogba's opponent, rushed to cover the defense immediately, but his movements were still a beat slow. Drogba, who had been secretly observing Terry's movements, immediately made a decision, flicked his right foot, and passed the ball to Ronaldo, who cut in from the right!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who dribbled the ball into the penalty area, did not hesitate at all. He first deceived Akinfeev with a simple fake move, and then directly kicked off and shot into the near corner of the goal, changing the score to three to one!
Three to one! Shortly after the start of the second half, Drogba once again tore apart Chelsea's defense and assisted Ronaldo to score, helping Tottenham expand their lead to two goals again!
"What a textbook defensive counterattack!" Martin Taylor said in admiration after seeing this scene. "From the time Gerrard intercepted Ibrahimovic's pass, Tottenham's goal only passed three passes in total. With four players, it took less than twenty seconds... Whether it is positional attack or defensive counterattack, it can create a huge threat. Now Tottenham can really be regarded as a top team!"
However, although the point difference was once again widened by their opponents, the Chelsea players trained by Mourinho did not choose to give up the game early. Instead, after the restart, they launched an even more fierce attack on Tottenham's goal!
Although this may allow Tottenham to further widen the point difference, for Chelsea players, if they do not want to see their opponents standing on the podium at the end of the game, then they can only choose to attack with all their strength! As for how many goals they concede, it is no longer within their consideration at this time!
In the 62nd minute, Duff's breakthrough earned Chelsea a corner kick opportunity. Franck Ribery's corner kick caused chaos in the Tottenham penalty area and was eventually cleared by Vidic, but the Serbian man cleared the ball and got it by Lampard. The Blues deputy made a slight adjustment when he got the ball. He swung his right foot 25 meters away from the goal and hit the goal hard!
Cech, whose sight was blocked by the crowd in the penalty area, did not see Lampard's movements at all. By the time he reacted, the ball had already flown into the goal behind him!
Three to two! Lampard used practical actions to tell everyone that this game is far from over!
