Chapter 306 Sealing a classic kick-off against the foot
Chapter 306 (Posted and updated) A classic reverse-foot kick begins today’s performance
(When I got a big recommendation, I heard that I had to write a testimonial before, but I didn’t have to do it. I’m going to celebrate it. After all, it’s an achievement. Don’t ask me who the big recommendation is.)
The moment the ball hit the net, Everton fans screamed in surprise at Goodison Park, and then everything fell silent.
Then, only the cheers from the visiting team's stands were left.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Chelsea scored again!!!!"
"The goal this time was Azpilicueta, who scored his first Premier League goal of the season!"
"The process of this ball is also quite interesting. The two Spanish wing-backs on the left and right are connected together through the Belgian center who has just been replaced."
"Marcos Alonso passed the ball to Lukaku. Lukaku didn't stop the ball and then swept the ball to the other end of the goal. Azpilicueta stabbed the ball in front of the goal and scored!"
"Two to three! This is the third time in this game that Chelsea has taken the lead!!"
On the field, after Azpilicueta scored, he rushed directly to Lukaku to celebrate.
The other Chelsea players also chased out, each one surrounding Lukaku and Azpilicueta.
Although Azpilicueta scored this goal, there is no doubt that Lukaku deserves a lot of credit for this goal.
His last pass was really beautiful!
"Within a few minutes after Lukaku came on as a substitute, he created a key goal for Chelsea."
"From this, we can see Chelsea head coach Pan Yi's insight into the situation on the field and his ability to correct mistakes."
"Obviously, he saw that Bamford was a little overwhelmed by Everton's two strong central defenders, so he decisively replaced him with the more capable high center Lukaku."
"After a short period of adaptation, Lukaku made full use of his physical advantages, suppressed Distin's point, and created space in the penalty area."
"Although Lukaku's skills at his feet are still not proficient enough to allow him to perform a personal breakthrough in such circumstances, what else can we ask of him?"
"Under the guidance of coach Pan Yi, Lukaku is obviously better at using his body and paying more attention to teamwork. This beautiful pass is proof."
"Everton stubbornly equalized the score after falling behind twice, and now Pan Yi's change of tactics has had a significant effect. Chelsea is leading again. Will Robert Martinez have any response?"
"After all, there are only more than 20 minutes left in the game. If we don't respond quickly, the game is likely to develop in a direction that is beneficial to Chelsea again!"
——
On the sidelines, Robert Martinez was indeed ready to make a substitution.
To be honest, if it is a 2:2 draw with Chelsea, even if it is only one point at home, Martinez can accept it.
After all, the opponent is Chelsea, the most popular team this season!
But now that we are lagging behind, we must attack.
Losing the ball during this period is very fatal!
As the commentator said, if we don't make substitutions and make adjustments as soon as possible, we won't even have a chance to counterattack.
As a result, the two attackers Miralas and McGeady were quickly replaced by Martinez.
These two players were actually Everton's regular main players, but today Martinez was preparing to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Chelsea, so they hid them for so long.
But now it's time for the bayonets to see red, so everyone is sent in!
Such a substitution also sends a signal to the Everton players on the field: We are going to counterattack!
Pan Yi, on the other hand, took his time and made an adjustment.
That is to put Brazilian stars Oscar and Ramirez on the field, replacing seat B and Hazard.
After such substitutions, Chelsea shifted their attacking firepower from the wings to the center.
At the same time, the two wing-backs Alonso and Azpilicueta moved to the full-midfield position to guard the two wingers Mirallas and McGeady who had just come on.
This is to use the "defend the side and put it in the center" method to lure Everton into a head-on confrontation with their own center.
But due to the presence of Oscar and Ramirez, Chelsea has stationed all its troops in the middle, so it has a strength advantage here!
This is equivalent to a configuration of three central defenders + three defensive midfielders + one attacking midfielder! How can Everton survive?
Moreover, when fighting in the middle, the physical advantages of Chelsea players, as well as the advantages of passing and controlling the ball, are more obvious.
After more than an hour of consumption, Everton's physical energy has been greatly affected.
Therefore, even if Martinez wanted to launch a counterattack in the final stage of the game, he was unable to do so.
On the contrary, after Everton removed their defensive players and replaced them with attackers, their defense became even less rigorous than before.
Chelsea's cooperation at the front of Everton's penalty area is more comfortable.
When the game reached the 83rd minute, Everton wanted to find Eto'o with a long pass, but Chelsea captain Terry took the position and headed the ball back.
Lukaku retreated from the front and blocked Distin with his body. After the ball fell, he passed the ball back to Ramirez in the gap.
As soon as Ramirez stopped the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the empty left side and handed it to Oscar, who had already wandered over.
After stopping the ball, the Brazilian star dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. When facing Jagielka one-on-one, he suddenly shot a cold shot!
This shooting action was very concealed. Everton goalkeeper Howard was also blocked by his defender. When he saw the ball, it was too late to react.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"Oscar wins another victory for Chelsea!"
"The score is now 2 to 4, Chelsea are two goals ahead!"
"This goal is the result of the cooperation between the three substitutes. Lukaku grabbed the first goal and gave it to Ramirez. Ramirez moved to the left and Oscar shot the goal!"
"This once again reflects Pan Yi's magical substitutions! Every substitution he makes will have immediate results, and this time is no exception!"
"After Martinez made the move, Pan Yi immediately had the correct response, and then seized the opponent's loopholes to deliver a fatal blow!"
"Especially Lukaku, who came on the field around 60 minutes, his effect was really obvious. Although he didn't score, he contributed to both goals!"
"For both goals, he used his strong body to create space for the team's offense, which left a deep impression on us."
"Pan Yi's transformation of him seems to have begun to bear fruit! We may see the rise of another striker in Chelsea's formation!"
"Apart from Drogba, Chelsea seems to have never seen a reliable center. Kezman, Shevchenko, Torres... But now, they finally have a new 'Warcraft', and that is Luka.
Library!”
During the commentator's passionate explanation, the live TV camera also showed Pan Yi on the sidelines.
After celebrating with his assistants, he was already directing his players again.
He is asking them to continue to maintain their overall formation and maintain control of the ball. After all, the game is not over yet!
But it is obvious that Everton is now helpless.
It's okay to be one goal behind, but to be two goals behind with only about five minutes left in the game, they really have no energy.
In other words, the breath they had been holding in their chests was released with Oscar's goal.
Not to mention that it is difficult for them to get the ball back from Chelsea players to launch their limited offense!
Therefore, although Everton players are still running on the field, the psychological blow has made them a little numb.
"This game is actually over." The commentator also said.
"For three consecutive rounds of the Premier League, Pan Yi used three different starting lineups. Except for the goalkeeper position, almost all first-team players got opportunities to play, and they all won."
"This not only proves that the lineup Pan Yi built in the summer is outstanding, but also shows that he has a full understanding of every player under his command."
"Having said that, most of Chelsea's current players were personally promoted and purchased by Pan Yi."
"As early as when he was an assistant coach in Milan, he was known for being good at discovering young players. When he arrived in Hamburg, he spent two years turning many originally unknown players into top-notch European stars, who were coveted by major giants."
"Now at Chelsea, he has also continued this magic! He led this team, which has the youngest average age in the Premier League, to win three consecutive games!"
"And scoring at least four goals in each game has become the minimum cost for this Pan's Blue Army! Such terrifying offensive power also gives us reason to believe that Pan Yi's statement that he wants to win the Premier League championship is definitely not empty talk!"
"If he can really win the Premier League championship this season, then he will win the Serie A, Bundesliga, and Premier League championships in just four years of his career. This is really an achievement that will be difficult for future generations to achieve!"
"Not to mention that he also won two Champions Leagues... Oh, by the way, although Chelsea was assigned to a death group in the Champions League group stage, Pan Yi still made bold claims to win the Champions League championship!"
"In other words, he even wants to create a legend of winning the Champions League with two different teams in a row... If such a thing comes true, Pan Yi will truly become the only and only number one coach in the world!...
…”
Amidst the praises of the commentator, the game ended.
Chelsea finally won the away game against Everton 4:2, achieving their first three consecutive wins in the Premier League!
Such results also allow them to continue to lead the Premier League standings.
The second place is somewhat unexpected, Swansea, which has also won three consecutive victories.
The third place is Aston Villa with two wins and one draw. This name is also a bit surprising.
Then from fourth to seventh, they are all BIG6 members, with Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal in that order.
And what about the last BIG6 Manchester United?
With only two draws and one loss in three rounds, they are of course at the bottom of the standings!
After an international match day, the Premier League will usher in a somewhat strange "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain".
That is Chelsea, ranked first, facing second-ranked Swansea at home!
These are also the only two teams in the Premier League that can maintain a complete victory so far.
But after this game, at most one team can win completely!
So, who will this team be?——
Two days before the start of the fourth round, the Premier League officially announced August's Premier League Manager of the Month and Player of the Month.
This is also a major tradition of the Premier League, which selects the best head coach and best players every month.
Even before the announcement, the media was already discussing it.
Judging from the standings, Swansea and Chelsea, who have also won three consecutive victories, and their coaches Garry Monk and Pan Yi are undoubtedly the favorites.
Both head coaches also have their own advantages.
The team led by Garry Monk is weaker and it will be more difficult to win consecutive games;
Pan Yi, on the other hand, led Chelsea to score 12 goals in three games, with a net victory of 10 goals. The victory was even more convincing.
In the end, Pan Yi successfully won the title of Coach of the Month for the first time this season!
The official interpretation given by the Premier League is that in the three games in August, Chelsea had the best and most stable performance among all the Premier League teams, and was also the team that played the most beautiful football on the field.
"Pan Yi has fulfilled what he promised when he coached Chelsea, leading this team to play aggressive and beautiful offensive football. This makes Chelsea's football style unique and eye-catching in the Premier League."
The Premier League official also said that although he had only played three games, Pan Yi had already proven his coaching ability with solid results and the team's outstanding performance.
The competition for August's Player of the Month is also fierce.
Swansea's Sigurdsson, Aston Villa's Agbonlahor, and Manchester City's Aguero all performed very well, and they all have the qualifications and abilities to compete for the best of the month.
But in the end it was Hazard from Chelsea who won the Player of the Month title!
In the past three rounds, although Hazard only scored one goal, he had four assists!
His presence completely revitalized Chelsea's left attack.
"In Pan Yi's tactical system, Hazard plays a decisive role. He is also the best player in the Premier League this season."
"This also shows that Pan Yi can not only use the players he bought and promoted, but also can bring out the best in the talented stars already in the team!"
"This also makes us look forward to Hazard's future even more. Maybe he will grow into a truly world-class star under Pan Yi's command!"
(PS: The premise is not to go to Real Madrid)——
On the evening of September 13th, Stamford Bridge Stadium.
In the fourth round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Swansea at home.
After this game, Chelsea will face a very harsh schedule.
On September 18, Chelsea will face Dortmund in the first round of the Champions League group stage;
On September 21st, the fifth round of the Premier League will challenge Manchester City away from home!
September 25, English League Cup, home game against Bolton;
On September 27, the sixth round of the Premier League played against Aston Villa, currently ranked third, at home;
October 1, the second round of the Champions League group stage, an away game against Sporting CP;
October 5th, the seventh round of the Premier League, vs. Arsenal at home!
Look at the time between each game, there are even two games in three days!
England's man-eating schedule is indeed well-deserved.
And Chelsea will play six games in just over two weeks!!!
You know, under normal circumstances, three or four games within two or three weeks is enough...
Therefore, Pan Yi and the coaching staff also need to make adjustments to the players' training and rest based on this schedule in order to make a more scientific and reasonable rotation.
However, the time between the next game and the game against Swansea was quite reasonable, so Pan Yi still sent out all his main players to play.
After all, this is still a key battle for the top spot in the Premier League!
It also happens to be a head-to-head confrontation with Garry Monk. Doesn’t the result of the game just prove that his title of Coach of the Month is not in vain?
However, Chelsea, who went all out to attack, allowed Swansea, the "dark horse", to show its true colors in the shortest possible time.
As soon as the whistle signaled the start of the game, Lukaku started today's performance with a classic reverse-foot kick.
The ball reached Kante's feet, and Lukaku, Hazard, and Seat B all sprinted towards Swansea's hinterland almost at the same time.
Then Kanter didn't hesitate at all, and directly kicked the ball to the center where Lukaku was.
After the opponent's kick-off, Swansea's players originally rushed towards Chelsea's half to prepare for the attack. However, they were shocked and quickly retreated.
But at this time Lukaku had already grabbed the first point and accurately knocked the ball to Hazard who was running in from the wing with his big black head.
Hazard rushed forward to receive the ball and then sprinted forward with the ball in long strides.
Swansea right back Langel was very afraid of Hazard's breakthrough ability, so he did not dare to step forward, but retreated again and again.
He understands a truth well, as long as I retreat quickly enough, you will never be able to get past me!
But he just retreated into the penalty area and couldn't retreat any further.
Therefore, Rangel could only take a step forward and try to push Hazard a little further outside.
But at this time, all I saw was that Hazard suddenly stopped and moved the ball from behind to his right. He was like a loach, wiping past Rangel!
Then, pull out your legs and cum!
The ball was too close, and Hazard exerted enough force to hit the goal near the top corner!
Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski was already very focused, but unfortunately the ball was too fast and he couldn't save it.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Hazard, Hazard again!!! The best player in the Premier League for August, Hazard!"
"Only ten seconds into the game, Chelsea took the lead in breaking through Swansea's goal with Hazard's goal."
"One to zero! This was a connection between the Belgian internationals, and it was Lukaku's header. Hazard broke through and shot into the near corner!"
"And this is obviously the kick-off coordination that Chelsea has practiced before the game. Every aspect is done perfectly!"
"Ah, by the way, let me check...the fastest goal record in the history of the Premier League was scored by Ledley King in Tottenham's game against Brentford on December 9, 2000.
Yes, it also took ten seconds!"
"Let's look at the replay of the game again and calculate the exact time. It's 9.5 seconds. This goal took only 9.5 seconds!"
"In other words, Hazard's goal set a new record for the fastest goal in the Premier League! Let us congratulate Chelsea and congratulate Hazard!"
"After such a fantastic start, Chelsea fans will be able to enjoy this game with peace of mind again..."
——
As the commentator said, after Chelsea quickly took the lead, the game became much easier to play.
In fact, Swansea's lineup this season is not bad, especially in the midfield with Icelandic sniper Sigurdsson, Korean international Ki Sung-yung, and "thank God" Shelvey, they can compete with many strong teams.
After all, they are also a team that can beat Manchester United away from home!
But when facing Chelsea away from home, the first thing they have to do is defend.
Only after preventing Chelsea's attack can we consider how to use forward Gomi's ability to seize opportunities to counterattack and let Gomi celebrate with a classic "zombie crawl" at Stamford Bridge.
But now it comes with a debuff of being 0:1 behind at the start of the game, and many of Swansea coach Garry Monk's pre-match plans suddenly came to naught.
The game quickly entered a fast-paced fighting mode!
Obviously, under such circumstances, the advantages of Chelsea players in terms of personal ability, organization, and physical fitness are better reflected.
When the game entered the tenth minute, after Chelsea intercepted the ball in the midfield, Bernardo Silva distributed the ball to the left.
Marcos Alonso moved forward quickly, received the ball and walked into Swansea's half. After seeing Hazard in front of him pull to the left sideline, he decisively passed the ball over and cut diagonally in the middle.
Hazard understood the situation and stopped the ball, then moved it and passed it horizontally to Alonso's path.
Alonso first gestured to hit the goal with his left foot, but suddenly turned around and took a step laterally. After attracting Swansea's midfielder Qi Chengyong, he passed the ball to the unguarded right side of the top of the arc.
At this time, the entire audience saw Matic running forward quickly along the right rib, receiving Alonso's cross, stopping, directly raising his right foot and shooting furiously.
The football was like a fired cannonball, drawing a straight line and going straight into the Swansea goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!"
"In the first ten minutes, Chelsea scored another victory!"
"This time it's an assist from Alonso and a long shot from Matic!"
"Chelsea scored two goals in a row, their attack was very fierce and looked unstoppable!"
"In the past three league rounds, Chelsea scored four goals in each game. And in just ten minutes today, they have already scored two goals!"
"Can they give Swansea another minimum tonight?"
"You know, Swansea is a team that has won three consecutive victories like Chelsea in the first three rounds. It is in surprisingly good condition!"
"But when they faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, it looked like they were about to surrender after ten minutes... No, it can be said that after Hazard's goal 10 seconds into the game, the game seemed to start to change.
There’s no suspense anymore!”
——
At this time, Pan Yi turned around happily and high-fived the assistants behind him in celebration.
The goal in the first ten seconds of the game, although the whole process was indeed his design, it was quite unexpected that he actually scored it.
After all, no matter how well the tactics are designed, they still need the players to execute them well and the other party to cooperate!
Unexpectedly, Swansea really didn't expect Chelsea's sudden attack at the beginning, and Lukaku once again acted as his fulcrum, grabbing the first spot and passing the ball to his teammates.
And Hazard, who just won the Player of the Month for August, is really outstanding in his personal ability. He singled out the opponent's defender and goalkeeper and scored the ball.
And when the ball was scored, it was natural for the second goal to come.
Playing against each other, who else is Pan Yi afraid of?
He has even played against Barcelona and Bayern, but he is still afraid of you, a little Swansea?
This is not because Pan Yi is arrogant.
In the case of insufficient strength, the coach must arrange correct tactics, such as defensive counterattacks, to deal with stronger teams.
Even when Pan Yi was in Milan, when facing Barcelona, the Cosmos team that was at the height of its power, didn't he obediently let Milan set up the bus?
But if the weak team is forced to fight against the strong team, death is not far away.
Therefore, Matic's goal in the tenth minute was just another stab at Swansea from Chelsea.
And if this continues, the third and fourth cuts will not be far away.
Sure enough, in the 15th minute, Chelsea caught another offensive mistake by Swansea and got the ball and launched a quick counterattack.
Azpilicueta took the ball and moved forward quickly. After getting rid of Shelvey who came to defend, he passed the ball to seat B on the right side of the opponent's penalty area.
With a few deft moves in the B seat, he got rid of Swansea defender Neil Taylor and then passed the ball into the penalty area.
Lukaku blocked Ashley Williams with his body, touched the ball lightly with his foot, and passed it back a little.
At this time, it was actually center back David Luiz who stepped in!
The Brazilian international took a powerful shot, and the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the Swansea goal, changing the score to 3:0!
This goal can be regarded as killing the game early.
——
As Swansea coach Garry Monk realized that if things continued like this, he might set a record for the biggest defeat in Premier League history, he began to direct his players to retreat into defense.
——The largest score gap in the history of the Premier League occurred on March 4, 1995, when Manchester United beat Ipswich 9-0.
But now, only 15 minutes have passed, and Chelsea are already leading by three goals. Who says they can’t score six more goals?…
So in this game, Garry Monk doesn't expect to win, or to score points!
He has already allowed Chelsea to score the fastest goal in history in this game. I really don’t want to let myself be nailed twice in a row on the pillar of shame in history!
As a result, the rhythm was no longer fast, and the scene returned to the familiar one-attack-one-defense situation.
And Chelsea also slowed down the offensive pace when enough was enough.
After all, there is still a terrifying schedule waiting for them.
When you are sure of winning, it is not bad to play health ball.
However, the luck of scoring a goal cannot be stopped.
In the 75th minute of the second half of the game, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.
Hazard took a corner kick, and captain John Terry jumped up high in the penalty area and smashed the ball into the Swansea goal!
4:0!
This is the first goal Terry has scored for Chelsea this season, and it is also the 36th goal he has scored for the Chelsea first team in 16 years!
And this was Chelsea's last goal of the game.
Chelsea finally defeated Swansea with a score of 4:0 again, winning their fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League!
Sixteen goals in four games and only two conceded. This result makes them proud of the entire Premier League!
