Volume 1: When Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 136: Different Answers to "What to Do when Facing a Stubborn Defender" (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)
This is the first time that Chen Yingxiong has participated in the Europa League final, but if everyone regards the Europa League as a continuation of the UEFA Cup, Chen Yingxiong has not only participated in it, but also has the experience of winning the cup.
And he set records both times he participated. When he was with Zenit St. Petersburg, his goal broke Shearer's record for goals in a single season in the UEFA Cup after the reform. Now he is participating for the second time and has broken Hooker's Europa League single-season scoring record with 28 goals.
So if we want to talk about psychological advantages, how can we not mention Chen Yingxiong?
As soon as the Europa League final started, Chen Yingxiong was particularly excited. How excited are you?
He even started aggressive pressing in the frontcourt!
Such a scene is rarely seen. Chen Yingxiong is a center who can score goals, but his defensive ability is very weak. Therefore, his previous head coaches have very smartly chosen an approach that allows Chen Yingxiong to maximize his energy-let him concentrate on scoring goals and stop doing defensive work.
Chen Yingxiong is not the kind of player who is particularly conscious. He rarely takes the initiative to defend during games. Even if his team is facing huge pressure and must defend, all he thinks about is how to use his offense to win. Help the team take pressure off the defense instead of running back to participate in the defense.
This kind of scene is too rare. As for the pressing in the frontcourt, it is even less. He is like a wooden stake in the frontcourt. If he is defensive, it is just for show. No matter who the opponent is, he can easily get past him. Completely ignore his.
But in this game, he started pressing in the frontcourt for the first time, which shows how determined he is to win the championship.
Chen Yingxiong wants to score goals and win the championship.
He had been waiting a season for this moment.
If he cannot win the Europa League, his previous 28 goals will be meaningless.

Since the beginning of the game, Villas-Boas has not been sitting on the coaching bench. He has been standing on the sidelines and staring at the court.
Chen Yingxiong's activity made him a little worried.
But now he has no other choice. He can only pin his hopes on the old guys at Inter Milan.
In fact, he also lacks the experience to deal with a normal Liverpool. The reason why he was able to defeat Liverpool at home last season was because Liverpool's head coach Dalglish had already beaten Liverpool to the point of losing its fighting capacity, so it was natural to lose.
But a normal Liverpool plus an equally powerful Chen Yingxiong, he actually has no idea what to do... The tactics he formulated for the team are defensive counterattacks. This is a strategy where he must first put his attitude into perspective. It was a very low tactic. He was previously worried that the old guys would be unwilling to cooperate. He believed that such an approach would belittle Inter Milan and make them lose face.
But the fact is that none of the old guys had an opinion, they all agreed and executed it meticulously during the game.
So far, fifteen minutes have passed in the game, and the old guys from Inter Milan have not let him down yet!
They were high-spirited, went all out, and focused, blocking the attacks of Liverpool's attacking lineup headed by Chen Yingxiong one after another!
Villas-Boas didn't know that in order to defeat Chen Yingxiong, the players of Inter Milan really lowered their posture at any cost. What's the point? As long as we can defeat him, we have plenty of opportunities to be arrogant and indulgent in front of him!

"Inter Milan's defensive organization in this game is very good, with clear layers, each performing its own duties, and being able to react quickly... This kind of performance is really impressive. Before, everyone was talking about Inter Milan's internal friction, saying that Inter Milan There are various problems, but I think in this final, just based on these fifteen minutes of game time, Inter Milan is an opponent worthy of our respect!" Liverpool commentator Steve Hutson said.
He is not alone in this view.
Many commentators praised Inter Milan's defense.
In this game, Inter Milan played a defensive counterattack, which was actually very unexpected. Everyone thought that a giant like Inter Milan should look like a giant when facing Liverpool in the final. Not to mention the attack, in the end At least it's on the same level as Liverpool.
Who knew that Inter Milan would take the initiative to retreat from the beginning of the game and launch a defensive counterattack. How does this look like a wealthy family? It's almost like a dark horse team that reached the final of the Europa League for the first time.
But not to mention, this tactic really works.
Otherwise, how could those old guys from Inter Milan be able to defend Liverpool's offensive for fifteen minutes?
Liverpool has a high-level attacking combination of Chen Yingxiong, Suarez, Sanchez and Gerrard.
In the Premier League, they scored 80 goals in a season, ranking third in the league. This offensive power cannot but be said to be powerful. Among them, Chen Yingxiong alone scored 39 goals, accounting for half of the team's total goals.
This season, Chen Yingxiong scored a total of 73 goals in all competitions, which is only three short of the single-season record of 76 goals set by Messi in the 2011-2012 season. We know that Messi’s 76 goals were scored in many other competitions, such as the European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and World Club Cup.
Chen Yingxiong only has the domestic league, League Cup, Europa League and FA Cup. In the FA Cup, due to O'Neill's abandonment strategy, he only played one game, so he still scored two goals in that game. of.
If Chen Yingxiong could participate in the English Community Shield, European Super Cup and World Club Cup, he would definitely have broken Messi's record.
Who dares not to take such a shooter who can score goals seriously?
Such a shooter who can score goals was actually restrained by the old guys of Inter Milan for fifteen minutes. Not only did he not score a single goal, but he didn't even have a threatening shot. It can't be said that Inter Milan is very capable.

Martin O'Neal was originally sitting on the coaching bench, but after ten minutes, he also left his position and walked to the sidelines.
Chen Yingxiong was restricted by Inter Milan's defense, which surprised him. He originally thought that Inter Milan relied on those old guys, but wouldn't it have collapsed long ago when our young and powerful trident composed of Chen Yingxiong, Sanchez, and Suarez were rushed?
Who would have thought that the actual situation is completely different.
The veterans of Inter Milan are tougher than he thought. They know that their physical fitness is not good and their turning speed is slow. If there is a gap behind them, a direct pass from Liverpool may be fatal.
Therefore, they shrank very far back, completely denying Liverpool's offensive players any space or time to operate in the penalty area.
This style of play is very unsightly, a bit like the way Mourinho led Inter Milan to play Barcelona in an away game without one player.
But it really works...
O'Neill didn't expect Inter Milan to place his position so low. This really surprised him. The advantage of keeping your posture low is... you can't do anything to him!
It's like two people fighting boxing. A's physical strength and physical fitness are weaker than B's. If A insists on punching B one by one, A will fall first in the end. This is not true. It's a wise move. Although it looks very manly and admirable, more people will curl their lips in their hearts and call them "idiots". On the contrary, if A does not confront B head-on, but lowers his posture and uses his fists and arms to guard his face and head to prevent his vital parts from being hit, then he will always have the opportunity to take a blow. , especially when the opponent is out of breath but finds little effect, there will always be some slack. At that time, a counterattack may be fatal...
There are so many such examples that they are simply countless. When many people are fighting, you see him being beaten until he is rolling around on the ground with his head in his hands. It seems miserable, but in fact the real damage he suffered is not much. Maybe those who hit him missed the target with their punches. The injuries sustained on the ground were even greater than his.
And what if b can take advantage of a who is curled up and defending? There was really no other way, except to throw his fists and kicks at the opponent without his life, hoping to knock him down before his strength was exhausted. There was no other way.
As long as you can't hit the vital part of a, in fact, no matter how many times you punch, you are just looking forward to the moment when quantitative changes turn into qualitative changes.
But football is not a boxing match. In a boxing match, the opponent is not knocked down in the end. The winner can also be determined by points to see who has more effective hits, so that B has the advantage.
It’s impossible to compare who scores more goals in a football match, who takes more shots, or who holds the ball longer, right?
In that case, Barcelona would be happy, but the whole world would object...
If you can't score goals, if you shot fifty times in the previous game, it's all in vain. If you can score a goal, even if you only shoot one shot in the whole game, you are still the winner and can have the last laugh and the best laugh.
So O'Neal is particularly worried now. If his side cannot attack for a long time, should he adjust the rhythm a little to slow them down and not press too close? If there is a lot of space behind him, the opponent will seize it and counterattack, and then the game is over. Already...

Chen Yingxiong is not head coach O'Neal, and he will not consider issues from O'Neal's perspective. Of course he knows why Inter Milan has tightened its defense so much. Isn't it just to prevent himself from scoring?
What he had to do was not to adjust his strategy. All he could do was to slam into the city gates and walls like a battering ram again and again.
Are you building high walls to defend against my attacks? Then I will just knock your wall open!
The problem of two boxers A and B is something that Martin O'Neill has to rack his brains over, but for Chen Yingxiong, it becomes very simple - if you shrink back and let me hit you, then I will hit you hard, even if you can't. When I hit your vital points, I keep hitting you with heavy punches. I don’t believe you still have the energy to fight back? If you fight back, you certainly won’t be able to keep your face and your head, right? You must have your hands free to hit me. As long as you let your hands leave your head, then you are waiting to die!
Besides, even if Inter Milan decides to delay the penalty kick, Chen Yingxiong is not afraid.
Punch after punch, you may fall down from exhaustion before you defeat the opponent.
But what if you don’t hit someone with your fists, but with a hammer?
How long can you endure?
Therefore, Chen Yingxiong's methods usually have no technical content. They are overwhelming power advantages. In the face of absolute power advantages, all conspiracy tactics are meaningless!
