He took two steps back and blocked Terry, the Chelsea central defender who was responsible for marking him in this game, not giving the opponent any chance to destroy the ball in advance. After the ball flew over his head, Li Yi did not reluctantly try to pass it.
The ball stopped, but he used his head to point the ball to Sneijder, who was not far behind him.
After picking up the ball, he waited for a second and was sure that Sneijder would get the ball. Then Li Yi used Terry, who had not yet let go of him, as a half-axis, turned his back, and rushed towards the frontcourt.
.
Li Yi's turning movement was indeed outstanding. Unfortunately, what he encountered today was not those cats and dogs, but Terry, who was in his prime and ranked among the top five central defenders in the world.
Of course, when talking about the age of playing, Terry, who was born in 1980, is actually 29 now. In a few months, he will turn 30, so in theory, Terry can compete with Li Yi in explosive power and turn around.
Terry was so fast that he should be at a disadvantage. Not to mention being beaten by Li Yi in seconds, at least Li Yi could crush the former without using much effort.
However, as mentioned above, that is theory.
Theoretical things may not necessarily be applied in actual combat, that's the same thing!
Take the fight between Li Yi and Terry as an example. Li Yi's turn was beautiful. It seems that the next step is to simply compare speed. However, the main premise of all this must be based on Li Yi's turn.
This can only happen if Terry doesn't stumble Li Yi when he turns around.
So, as a top central defender, can Terry just watch Li Yi pass by him easily? [
Obviously, no!
His right hand quietly exerted force, just using Li Yi's body to block the referee's sight when he turned around. Terry did not make any move while Li Yi turned around.
He hurriedly turned around and competed with Li Yi for speed, but instead used his hands to hold back Li Yi's forward momentum.
When Li Yi's first burst of fierce momentum was offset by his own, Terry began to turn around on the premise of letting go slightly to avoid fouling.
Then, just when Li Yi was about to start the second time to meet the direct pass that Sneijder might send, Terry's hand that had just retracted touched Li Yi again.
Moreover, Terry's second stretch out was even more subtle than his first stretch out.
Pretending that he didn't notice Li Yi next to him, he just wanted to move. He used the subconscious swing of his left hand to hit Li Yi, slightly lifting the corner of Li Yi's clothes, and then offset Li Yi again.
The starting momentum was so invisible and not "foul" that Terry rushed in front of Li Yi even though he was obviously not as fast as Li Yi when he turned around.
Seeing Terry rushing in front of him so shamelessly, Li Yi immediately wanted to go to the referee to complain and find a foul that should have existed.
However, as soon as the idea came together, Li Yi quickly gave up!
The place where Terry fouled him just now was just in the middle circle, not to mention whether the referee would choose to change the decision because of Li Yi's few words, even if the referee did not make a decision at the first time, even if the referee was willing to change the decision.
If you really succeed in arguing, so what?
In addition to giving Chelsea's offensive players enough time to return to their own half, Li Yi did not think of any other "benefits"!
Gritting his teeth and taking a look at Terry who was not far away, he quickly regained his composure. This time, Li Yi did not run at full speed, but walked unhurriedly towards the Chelsea penalty area.
Several flowers bloom, one on each side.
By the way, after Li Yi returned the ball to himself, he quickly turned around and broke through Chelsea's last line of defense. He saw that as long as he got the ball in place, he would get a one-on-one opportunity. Under such premise, Sneijder almost didn't even think about it.
Thinking about it, he had to meet the ball that Li Yi gave him and send a pass.
However, who knew that before the ball from his side was sent out, Li Yi, who had obviously started, stopped somewhat puzzlingly.[
"Are you afraid that if you don't pass the ball properly, you may fall into the opponent's offside trap?" This thought emerged in Sneijder's mind involuntarily.
However, as soon as this idea came up, Sneijder himself quickly dismissed it.
Because, from the expressions of Li Yi and Terry afterwards, it was not difficult for Sneijder to see that when Li Yi started just now, Terry should have used some disgraceful means to stop Li Yi.
Sneijder curled his lips slightly, despising Terry in his heart for not being bright. At the same time, Sneijder had to admire Terry. After all, at a distance that was much closer to the incident than the referee, Sneijder didn't even see clearly.
How on earth did Li Yi stop Li Yi, let alone a referee who was much further away than him!
Shaking his head slightly, putting aside these so-called thoughts, seeing that there was no good opportunity before, Sneijder distributed the ball to the right wing and inserted it at high speed. This season, due to Bell's outstanding performance on the left wing, Lai was almost covered up.
Philips.
From the first minute of this game, Crystal Palace identified Bell's left wing when attacking. Moreover, Bell's ability was not recognized here. After fighting for most of the game, Chelsea's side
During the well-prepared period, Bell still relied on his own ability to turn Chelsea's entire right wing upside down. Not only did he score a goal himself, he also created many opportunities for Li Yi.
It is precisely because of this that Chelsea selectively forgets that Crystal Palace actually has people on both wings most of the time.
This time, the same is true for Chelsea.
No, when Little Wright got the ball on the court and scored more than 30 meters at high speed, Chelsea's side was belatedly arrived because of Ashley Cole's habitual assist and Carvalho's replacement.
, appeared diagonally in front of Wright-Phillips.
Well, that's right, diagonally forward, not straight ahead.
This time, Carvalho learned from the previous mistake of right back Bosingwa, and did not try to cut off the ball from Wright-Phillips' feet. Instead, he steadily prevented Wright-Phillips from cutting inside. After all,
, no matter what, putting Wright-Phillips on the bottom is much less threatening than letting him cut inside.
From this point alone, the defensive abilities of Carvalho and Bosingwa can be judged instantly.
However, Carvalho's choice seems to be the right one, but sometimes it is not necessarily the most suitable.
Because, he kind of ignored one thing, Wright-Phillips is not Bell.
If he were facing a defense like Bell and Carvalho, he would definitely be in place and correct! However, when the person he faced was Wright, it would not be right!
As a wide player, Wright is fast. However, outsiders don't know that as a right-footed player, Wright's left foot is really not that good, and his shooting ability is really good.
generally.
If you can't shoot with your left foot, you can't shoot with these two. In fact, in a sense, it has been announced that when Wright plays as a left winger, the threat of cutting inside is minimal!
The above two shortcomings are also the fundamental reason why Wright-Phillips was not kicked out in later generations.
Therefore, when facing a player like Wright-Phillips who cannot cut inside, it would be right if Carvalho lets him go inside!
And like now, if we let go of the outside line and let Wright-Phillips attack with fear, then it will really be over!
No, before the words were finished, after witnessing Carvalho letting himself go from the outside, Wright-Phillips didn't even think about it, kept his head down, and dove in!
Then, when he was almost at the bottom line, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the positions of the players on both sides in the penalty area. Little Wright sent the ball directly into the Chelsea penalty area!
Turn your attention to Li Yi!
Previously, when Wright-Phillips broke through along the sideline, Li Yi was different from the Chelsea players. As a teammate, he knew Wright's technical characteristics clearly. Li Yi really knew early on that Wright-Phillips could only pass the ball.
Winning! So, whether it was to cooperate with the former or to be instinctive as a striker, Li Yi also started his running position very early!
After experiencing Terry's little moves before, Li Yi also learned smarter this time! During his running process, whenever Terry wanted to get close to his body, Li Yi would not hesitate to move his body to the side.
Go to the direction of the referee!
Terry is rich in experience. This richness is not enough to allow him to kill Li Yi without touching Li Yi's body, not to mention that he is still in the penalty area at this moment. No matter how many small movements he makes, he can only restrain himself.
Come on, otherwise, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If the referee blows the whistle, then Terry will have no place to cry!
