Chapter 479 Torres——! !

Even Morris didn't expect that Sun Jihai's appearance would have such a big effect.

When he learned that Sun Jihai was going to replace Silva, Morris also had a little doubt about whether the substitution was correct. After all, it was Silva who was substituted. Silva has always performed well. Even if a substitution is made, he I also don't think Silva should be replaced.

When Morris had so much trust in Wansheng, he quickly overcame his doubts and played seriously.

After receiving the order from Erti, Morris knew Wansheng's plan, and he was very surprised, because the theory of 'all-round, all-attack, all-defense'... It's still a theory, he never thought that Wansheng would try in the final. Do this.

But the team has completed the substitution, he can only suppress his mind and continue to work hard to play.

Morris soon discovered the role of substitution.

He felt that he was playing more easily, especially when defending. He didn't have to pay attention to the opponent's position at all, he didn't have to move to make room, and he didn't have to run back to the backcourt for long distances.

From a big-picture point of view, the team's defense has significantly increased efficiency.

The efficiency of the defense has increased, and it has an advantage in the midfield competition, so the situation began to tilt in Manchester City.

For Chelsea, it's the exact opposite.

Just now, they were on the verge of scoring goals and wanted to fight for an equalizer. In the first few minutes, they did well, but when Manchester City completed the substitution, they became more and more passive.

It's just that the midfield competition is not good, and the opponent's offense is still very strong.

The game has gone on for 75 minutes, and their physical fitness has begun to decline, and they can't keep up with Manchester City's rhythm.

The problem is obvious.

Some young players are better, especially the veterans, with significantly less movement.

At the beginning of the game, even if they were swayed, the players would run after them, using running and pressing to create pressure on the opponents. Now it is different. In the past two attacks, some Chelsea players were swayed, but they did not at all. After chasing, I was walking slowly, watching Manchester City's passing and the defense of my teammates.

These people really can't run.

British BBS Sports TV commentator Ryan John analyzed, "Among the Premier League teams, Manchester City has the most intensive training and the best physical reserves. Their games require every player to run constantly, and some players with poor physical fitness cannot support the whole team. In comparison, Chelsea is a little worse, like Makelele, who are already old players who are about to retire..."

"In this game, the two teams have been in a fast-paced game. The physical consumption of Chelsea players is not worse than that of Manchester City. It is expected that some players can't keep up."

Just as Ryan John was talking, Chelsea was ready to make a substitution.

This substitution is not surprising at all. The midfielder Makelele was replaced and the Nigerian player Mikel played.

"Makelele obviously couldn't support it anymore. Grant chose to make a substitution and Mikel played in his place. This Nigerian player is still quite strong. Mikel has played 29 times for Chelsea this season..."

Next, the commentator introduced Mikel. To many fans, Mikel is no stranger at all. After coming to Chelsea, Mikel has always had a fairly stable performance.

But Milk's appearance cannot change the overall situation.

Chelsea's midfield competition has become passive, and the situation has shifted towards Manchester City. In the case of one goal behind, they need to pay more attention to defense.

Midfield is Chelsea's biggest headache, Morris is their biggest headache.

Morris is the core of Manchester City and a key player in the organization of the offense. Needless to say, Chelsea attaches great importance to Morris' defense. So far, their defense against Morris can be said to be quite successful.

However, as the game progresses, they find it really difficult to want Morris.

The key point is that Morris's position is generally more behind than the two full-backs. Especially after Silva is gone, Morris is only slightly ahead of Sun Jihai and Blumer. Sometimes, he even It will be attached to the back of Sun Jihai and Blumer, completely acting as the offensive player.

Chelsea can't set up a formation in order to defend Maurice, so their goal is too dangerous, especially Manchester City has a Torres in the front field that must be paid attention to.

If Manchester City can easily play the ball behind them, how stable their defense is will be useless.

So they can only set up a solid line of defense in front of the penalty area to block the connection between the midfield and the striker, that is, Torres. , Ivan Crewe and other five midfielders, as well as the two fullbacks Carlos and Lescott are very active, and sometimes the two fullbacks will frequently add assists, and they continue to complete passes near the center line. The ball, sometimes hitting the front, sometimes passing the ball to the back, Chelsea couldn't keep up with their physical fitness. Many times Manchester City was passing the ball from the back, and they could only watch from a distance.

After Sun Jihai played, Manchester City's offense did not actually become stronger, but as time passed, Chelsea's defense became a lot weaker.

They still have the heart to continue fighting, but physical fitness has become a key issue.

Manchester City's attack has not changed much, so Chelsea has become very passive.

In the continuous attack, Morris quickly discovered that the biggest threat to Chelsea's defense was the right wing Ivan Crewe.

Morris and Ivan Crewe are all too familiar, and he knows that Ivan Cru Ivan Crew is the best at working together.

For now, whenever the ball is passed, Ivan Crewe can grasp what to do next. If there is a little threat, he will pass the ball back, and when there is a chance, he will tentatively pass the ball. Pass to the middle.

It seems to be just a simple pass, but Ivan Crewe's correct judgment has made the team's right side the most threatening way, so Morris's passing to the right has also increased.

This small change, Chelsea did not notice.

From their point of view, Ljungberg even feels more threatening, because Ljungberg often drives the ball personally, when he gets the ball from the corner of the box, it almost directly threatens the Chelsea goal, on the other hand, Ivan - Crewe is just passing the ball and hardly finds opportunities on his own.

This time City's attack is the same.

After a dizzying series of passes and moves, the ball fell to Morris, who swept the ball in the direction of Chelsea's goal to the right.

Ivan Crewe is running forward.

When he received a pass from Morris, Lampard was a few meters in front of him. Lampard rushed to press, Ivan Crewe glanced at the Chelsea goal line, and suddenly a big foot came out.

Lampard can't keep up!

You know, every time Ivan Crewe receives a pass, he will choose to pass to the middle or pass back. It is rare to have a big-footed pass, which is rare in Manchester City's entire attack.

Lampard stopped and turned to look at the football.

The football crossed in the air, the highest point was three meters, and then it fell to the back of the penalty area.

Both Ljungberg and Torres are fast forward in that direction!

"A long biography!"

"Ivan Crew! He moved the ball to the left accurately! This is a great opportunity for Manchester City!"

With the voice of the commentator, Wan Sheng's expression became serious.

He has been standing on the sidelines watching the game. It is expected that the team can slowly play an advantage at the last time, but this does not determine victory. What can determine victory is always only scoring goals.

Now is the perfect opportunity!

Torres and Ljungberg are rushing forward, can they seize this opportunity?

————

It was Torres who had the ball most forward, and although he came in diagonally, Ljungberg ran a bit longer.

After Torres ran into position, he stretched his foot to unload the ball.

Terry, who had been defending Torres in the game, rushed over immediately. He knew that there was absolutely no room for Torres to start.

After Torres unloaded the ball, Terry has rushed up.

Ljungberg also arrived. When he saw Torres receiving the ball, he slowed down and kept a distance of more than two meters from Torres in order to receive at any time.

Ljungberg is farther from the goal than Torres, but it is also in the penalty area, which is very dangerous to Chelsea's goal, so Terry has not paid attention to Ljungberg, another player defending Ljungberg, Milk, has not run come back.

Terry had to face Torres and Ljungberg alone.

England's iron guard stared at Torres, paying attention to his movements at any time, but Torres would not give Terry time to react. After controlling the ball, he immediately made a kick back.

This action is almost to pass the ball to Ljungberg!

Ljungberg is in the box, and if Torres completes the pass, he can almost face the door of Cech's handle.

So Terry stretched his feet!

After making the move, the English iron defender regretted it, because Torres did not pass the ball, but waved the ball and immediately chose to swing his right leg hard!

A small angle shot!

"Torres! Torres--!" narrator Ryan - John stretched his tone.

The distance between Torres and the goal is more than ten meters, showing about 45 degrees. It is a bit difficult to push the ball into the goal in this position, especially Cech has been paying attention to Torres' movements.

This time, Torres pushed the angle to the extreme, and the speed of the ball was very fast. Cech responded and completed the save, but when he successfully saved to the correct position, the football had already crossed the goal line.

The moment Cech fell to the ground, he could only turn his head to look at the goal in despair.

"Torres-!!!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!"

The football crossed the goal line and plunged into the net. Everyone stared blankly at the football that was swinging in the net.
