Due to the European Cup, Chelsea did not arrange a warm-up match before the new season. They only trained tactics and played a few games with the reserve team to test the formation. Soon, the Community Shield will begin.
As an old event, the Community Shield has gradually become a warm-up match for the two teams before the start of the new season, and is increasingly ignored. Although it is an honor to win the championship, I believe no one will take it seriously.
A useless trophy.
However, for Chelsea, the Community Shield is the best warm-up match. The opponent is neither strong nor weak, and it can test the tactics and lineup very well. Therefore, the whole team pays more attention to it.
Blackburn unexpectedly won the FA Cup last season. It is really not easy to carve out a way among the top teams in the Premier League. Moreover, they won the opportunity to participate in the new season by virtue of winning the FA Cup.
To qualify for the UEFA Cup, they are also working hard to show off their talents in the new season. Naturally, they don't want to give it away in the first game. The Community Shield trophy is also a relatively good honor for a small club like them.
Scolari has chosen a main lineup in his mind for this game. If nothing else happens, he will use this lineup to compete in some important games in the following season.
The goalkeeper is naturally stable Cech, and he will definitely occupy a main position without injury or illness; the center back is relatively stable, with Carvalho and Terry partnering, if they meet a team with a high forward, then Allais
In addition, Bridge can also participate in the rotation; the left back is Belletti. After Bosingwa arrived, the position of the famous Brazilian player moved to the left, occupying the position that should belong to Ashley Cole.
position, the negative news about the England international has really affected his condition, so he can only be used as a substitute; the right back starts with Bosingwa, Ivanovic introduced last season is a substitute, and Ferreira can
Playing two wingers is considered a mobile team.
The two defensive midfielders are a combination of Deco and Essien. One is the main attacker and the other is the main defender. They can support each other and are very powerful. Gago and Mikel are their substitutes. In addition, Modric can also participate in the rotation in the middle.
The competition for personnel is fierce; Lampard is fixed at the right midfielder position, with Joe Cole on the left and Malouda participating in the rotation. The wing personnel are relatively thin, but considering that both Prince and Kalou can play on the wing,
So there is no need to add it.
The forward combination is Drogba and Prince, Ibisevic and Kalou are substitutes, and Sinclair participates in the rotation. Since Drogba and Prince are much stronger than other players, other players can only rest when the two of them are resting.
With rotation, there is basically no need to consider the main position.
There are several other players, but they were all sent to the reserve team by Scolari to play, and there is no place for them in the first team.
As soon as the game started, Chelsea showed their superior strength. Even the FA Cup champions could not pose much of a threat to them. They took the initiative on the field from the first minute.
Drogba felt very excited today. I don’t know if he had another adventure last night. Anyway, he was as active as a young player who had just got a chance. Whether it was attacking or pressing in the frontcourt, he showed all his strength.
He made Blackburn's defenders almost cry.
Since Drogba was so excited, the prince was also willing to let his teammates steal the spotlight, so he frequently retreated to form a connection with Deco, messing up Blackburn's defense. In the end, he always passed the ball to the Elephant King for a shot. But today
The Elephant King was excited, but he was a little too excited. His shots were all fired without exception, but unfortunately they all went high over the goal and towards the spectators behind him.
In the 20th minute, Joe Cole passed a free kick from the left. The prince suddenly stepped forward and shook his head to attack the goal. James struggled to hit the baseline with one palm. This was also his first shot in the game. He had always done it for Drogba before.
When the ball came, I saw that my partner showed no signs of washing his feet, so he decided to take action himself.
In the 22nd minute, Lampard broke through from the right and passed to the bottom line. Drogba moved his head and hit the goal high. The Elephant King wasted another excellent opportunity. He was so annoyed that he almost asked to be dismissed.
In the 25th minute, Blackburn got within 35 meters of the Chelsea goal for the first time in the game. Distin received a free kick and headed the ball slightly higher. One minute later, Diarra was 25 yards away.
The shot went over the lintel. Blackburn's wave of attacks could be regarded as catching the change of rhythm under Chelsea's continuous attacks, which made Scolari frown.
Fortunately, Chelsea immediately used strong defense to overturn Blackburn's counterattack, and the game got back on track.
In the 25th minute, Deco made a long pass from the midfielder, and the prince took the ball 12 yards away from the left side of the penalty area. Drogba finally did not waste the opportunity this time, facing the empty goal and succeeded with an easy push shot. Halfway through the first half
, Chelsea are ahead of their opponents.
Drogba hugged the prince excitedly. It turned out that his mother Clotilde came to the scene to watch the game today. He hoped to dedicate the goal to his mother, so he played so hard. With the help of the prince,
He finally scored a goal. After hugging the prince, he ran to the stands where his mother was and made heart-shaped gestures with his hands to express his love for his mother. However, he almost made the female fans in the stands climax.
, it’s really unintentional.
After the Pompeii Legion lost the ball, their original will to resist was basically gone. No matter how much the coach adjusted, he could not make up for the huge gap between the two teams. The entire team could not defend the goal. You can imagine the frustration of the players.
Chelsea, who were leading, began to control the rhythm at Scolari's request, more often playing in the backcourt. One was to increase the proficiency of the players in the game, and the other was to become familiar with this tactic of controlling the ball in the backcourt.
, although Chelsea often played like this before, but now it has become systematic.
The strength of the Pompeii Legion is really difficult to pose a threat to Chelsea. At the end of the first half, Chelsea got Lampard and scored another point. The one who scored the ball for him was Prince.
The situation in the second half was still under Chelsea's control. Prince scored a hat-trick of assists after assisting Deco to complete his first goal at Chelsea. He was then replaced by Modric. Scolari and Prince hugged on the sidelines.
After a while, he praised the prince’s performance. (To be continued.
