Chapter 479 Torres——
Even Morris didn't expect that Sun Jihai's appearance would have such a great effect.
When he learned that Sun Jihai was going to replace Silva, Morris also had a little doubt whether the substitution was correct. After all, Silva was replaced. Silva has always performed well. Even if he made a substitution, he felt that he should not replace Silva.
When Morris trusted Wan Sheng very much, he soon suppressed his doubts and played the game seriously.
After accepting the call, Morris knew Wan Sheng’s plan. He was very surprised because the theory of ‘all-round, all-attack, all-defense’…or theory, he never expected that Wan Sheng would try to do this in the final.
But the team has completed the substitution, so he can only suppress his mind and continue to work hard to play.
Soon Morris discovered the effect of substitution.
He felt that he was playing easier, especially when defending, he didn't have to pay attention to the opponent's position, and didn't have to run back to the backcourt in order to make room for space.
From a big perspective, the team's defense has significantly increased efficiency.
The efficiency of defense has increased and he has gained an advantage in the midfield competition, so the situation has begun to tilt towards Manchester City.
For Chelsea, the situation is completely opposite.
They were trying to equalize the score just now with the goal, and they did a good job in the first few minutes, but when Manchester City completed the substitution, they became more and more passive.
It would be fine if the midfield competition was not good, but the opponent's attack was still very strong.
The game has been going on for 75 minutes, and their physical fitness has begun to decline, and they are still unable to keep up with Manchester City's pace.
This problem is very obvious.
Some young players are better, especially those veterans, who have significantly less running.
At the beginning of the game, even if they were shaken by, the players would run, using running presses to create pressure on their opponents. Now it is different. In the past two attacks, some Chelsea players were shaken by, and they simply stopped chasing them. They were walking slowly, watching Manchester City's pass and their teammates' defense.
These people really can't run anymore.
British bbs sports TV commentator Ryan John analyzed, "Among the Premier League teams, Manchester City has the largest training intensity and the best physical reserve. Their game requires each player to keep running, and their physical fitness is poor and they cannot support the entire game at all. In comparison, Chelsea is worse. Among them, Marklele, they are already old players who are about to retire..."
"In this game, the two teams have been in a fast pace. The physical energy consumption of Chelsea players is not worse than that of Manchester City. It is predictable that some players cannot keep up."
Just as Ryan John said, Chelsea was ready to make a substitution.
This substitution is not surprising at all. Midfielder Maklele was replaced, and Nigerian player Mikel played.
"Marklele obviously couldn't support it anymore. Grant chose to substitute, and Mikel replaced him. The Nigerian player is still very strong. Mikel played 29 times for Chelsea this season..."
Next, the commentator introduced Mikel. For many fans, Mikel is not unfamiliar with him. After coming to Chelsea, Mikel has always performed quite stably.
But Milk's appearance cannot change the overall situation.
Chelsea's midfield competition has become passive, and the situation has become more tilted towards Manchester City. When they are one goal behind, they need to pay more attention to defense.
The midfielder is Chelsea’s most troubled place, and Morris is their most troubled player.
Morris is the core of Manchester City and a key player in organizing offense. There is no need to say more about Chelsea's attention to Morris' defense. Until now, their defense against Morris can be said to be quite successful.
However, as the game has been going on, they found it was really difficult to want Morris.
The key point is that Morris' position is generally better than the two full-backs, especially after Silva came off the court, Morris was only slightly ahead of Sun Jihai and Brumer. Sometimes, he even sticks behind Sun Jihai and Brumer, completely acting as the player who organizes the offense.
Chelsea cannot set the formation for the sake of defending Morris, so their goal will be too dangerous, especially Manchester City has a Torres that must be paid attention to in the frontcourt.
If Manchester City easily hit the ball behind them, their defense will lose its effect no matter how stable their defense is.
So they could only set up a solid defense line in front of the penalty area to block the connection between the midfield and the forward line, that is, Torres. They did a good job of this, but Manchester City's offense had nothing to do with Torres most of the time. Five midfielders including Morris, Ivan Cruy, as well as Carlos and Lescott, both full-backs, are very active. Sometimes the two full-backs will frequently intervene in assists. They keep completing passes and receiving near the midfield line, sometimes hitting the ball in the front, and sometimes passing the ball in the back, Chelsea's physical fitness is a bit unfollowing. Many times, Manchester City passes and receives the ball in the back, and they can only watch from a distance.
After Sun Jihai appeared, Manchester City's offense did not become stronger, but as time passed, Chelsea's defense became much weaker.
They still have the will to continue fighting, but physical fitness has become a key issue.
Manchester City's offense did not change much, so Chelsea became very passive.
In the continuous attack, Morris soon discovered that in fact, the one that poses the greatest threat to Chelsea's defense is Ivan Kreu on the right.
Morris and Ivan Cruyvan Cruy was too familiar with him. He knew that Ivan Cruyvan Cruyvan Cruyvan Cruyvan was best at cooperating.
As for now, whenever the ball is passed, Ivan Kru can grasp what to do next. If there is a little threat, he will pass the ball back. If there is a chance, he will pass the ball into the middle with a tentative opportunity.
It seemed like a simple pass, but Ivan Cru's correct judgment made the team the most threatening road on the right, so Morris passed more to the right.
Chelsea did not notice this small change at all.
From their perspective, I even think that Lungberg is more threatening, because Lungberg often drives the ball personally. When he gets the ball in the corner of the penalty area, it almost directly threatens the Chelsea goal. In contrast, Ivan Krue just passes the ball and almost never finds opportunities by himself.
This time Manchester City's offense is the same.
After a series of dazzling passes and running positions, the football fell to Morris' feet, and he swept to the Chelsea goal and then divided the ball to the right.
Ivan Kru is running forward.
When he received Morris' pass, Lampard was a few meters ahead of him. Lampard caught up and wanted to press. Ivan Kreu glanced at the Chelsea goal defense line and suddenly a big foot came out.
Lampard cannot be quenched and defended!
You know, no time Ivan Kreu received a pass, he would choose to pass in the middle or back, and there would be almost no big-footed pass, which is rare in Manchester City's entire offense.
Lampard stopped in place and turned to look at the football.
The football passed through the air, with the highest point of three meters, and then fell to the back of the penalty area.
In that direction, both Loneberg and Torres were quickly forwarding!
"A long pass!"
"Ivan Krew! He transferred the ball accurately to the left! This is a good opportunity for Manchester City!"
With the commentator's call, Wan Sheng's expression became serious.
He has been standing on the sidelines watching the game. It is expected that the team can slowly gain an advantage in the last time, but this does not determine victory. What can determine victory will always be a goal.
Now, it's a great opportunity!
Torres and Lungberg are all rushing forward. Can they seize this opportunity?
The one who was in the front ball was Torres. Although he inserted it diagonally, Lengbery ran a longer distance.
After Torres ran to the position, he stretched out his foot to remove the ball.
Terry, who had been defending Torres during the game, rushed over immediately, and he knew that he would never give Torres a room to kick.
Terry rushed up after Torres unloaded the ball.
Loneberg also arrived. When he saw Torres catch the ball, he slowed down and kept a distance of more than two meters from Torres so that he could respond at any time.
Lyonberg is far away from the goal than Torres, but he is also in the penalty area and is very threatening to the Chelsea goal, so Terry didn't pay attention to Lyonberg. Another player who defended Lyonberg, Milk, has not yet run back.
Terry had to face Torres and Lengbery alone.
The English iron guard stared at Torres and kept an eye on his movements at any time, but Torres would not give Terry time to react. After controlling the ball, he made a kickback action as soon as possible.
This move is almost about passing the ball to Lengbery!
Loneberg is in the penalty area, and if Torres completes the pass, he can almost face the goal where Cech handles it.
So Terry stretched out his feet!
After making the move, the English guard regretted it because Torres did not pass the ball, but instead waved the ball and immediately chose to wave his right leg with force!
Push shot from a small angle!
"Torres! Torres!" commentator Ryan John elongated his tone.
The distance between Torres and the goal is more than ten meters, and it is about 45 degrees. It is a bit difficult to push the ball into the goal at this position, especially Cech has always paid attention to Torres' movements.
This time, Torres' push angle was extremely tricky and the ball was very fast. Cech responded and completed the save, but by the time he successfully reached the exact position, the football had already rushed through the goal line first.
The moment Cech lay down on the ground, he could only turn his head in despair and look at the goal.
"Torres!!!"
“oal!!!”
The football rushed through the goal line and plunged into the net. Everyone stared at the football swinging in the net.
ps: I saw a lot of book reviews urging me to update, so I really want to say sorry. I have been so busy lately and am overwhelmed day by day.
I went to take wedding photos yesterday, and I didn't go home at 12 pm. I have to go back to my hometown on weekends to deal with some things... I can only say that the update depends on the situation on Sunday, and try to ensure that it will be updated continuously. I will resume normal updates next Monday. I hope everyone can understand~ (To be continued.)
