Chapter 435 Paris will not win the Champions League in the future!(2/3)
In other words, Chelsea's defense does not rely on the formation's retreat and compressing the opponent's space;
Instead, through the players' fast running and active fighting, the time and space for Paris Saint-Germain players to pass and receive the ball is reduced, making it easy to cause mistakes to regain the ball.
Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain can only rely on several long-pass opportunities to find space in Chelsea's backcourt.
In the 57th minute, after Verratti returned to the midline to get the ball, he passed the ball into Chelsea's 30-meter area to find center Cavani.
The Uruguayan striker did grab the first spot and got stuck in position, but when he stopped the ball, he stopped it slightly. David Luiz behind him decisively made a clearance, directly resolving Paris Saint-Germain's attack.
Seeing that there was no chance in the middle, Verratti immediately moved the ball to the wing.
Lavezzi, who came on as a substitute, got the ball from the left and entered the Chelsea half. In a one-on-one situation, he used his speed to get rid of Azpilicueta and passed into the penalty area with his big foot, but no one responded.
Artois took it off easily.
After the opponent's two attacks, Chelsea began to increase their defense and pressing efforts in the midfield and frontcourt.
In the first half, PSG's four midfielders were able to suppress Chelsea's three midfielders to some extent;
But now it's three against three, and Chelsea's two wing-backs come over to support from time to time.
Although Matuidi and Verratti are all players with strong running ability, they can't resist the opponents who are stronger and have more people!
He also gradually fell behind in the midfield battle.
"They made a lot more passing mistakes than they did in the first half."
Pan Yi said while standing on the sidelines.
"Should we seize the opportunity to press?" Arteta asked at the right time.
In fact, Chelsea's own condition is not particularly good. You can tell by looking at the performance of the players on the field.
Under normal circumstances, when Chelsea has the advantage, there will be more shots.
But today, at this point in the game, Chelsea only had five or six shots in total, and none of them were particularly threatening.
Had it not been for a corner kick opportunity, it would have been hard to say whether the deadlock could have been broken.
In fact, this was more or less affected by the farce in the early morning.
Even though Pan Yi and the coaching staff tried their best to reduce this impact, the players were still unable to reach their optimal competitive state, resulting in a somewhat compromised performance on the field.
However, even so, the young Chelsea can still suppress Paris Saint-Germain on the court through more running and more physical fitness.
Therefore, Arteta feels that he can now take advantage of the opponent's increased mistakes and further strengthen the pressure, which is basically to increase the rhythm of the game.
"No need." Pan Yi smiled lightly.
"You have to remember that the most taboo thing about passing and controlling is not not missing the ball, but losing it quickly after grabbing the ball."
"This not only makes the players' physical energy more exhausted, but also severely damages the players' fighting spirit and morale."
"We currently have the advantage in terms of physical fitness and the situation. If we blindly increase the pace and cause more mistakes of our own, we will lose more than we gain."
"I think the current rhythm is just right. Just wait and see, we will catch their mistakes."
Pan Yi is very confident.
In fact, from the corner kick goal in the first half to the second half, this game was already under his control.
Blanc's formations were not able to escape his grasp at all!
The current situation on the field also proves this.
Facts have proved that Pan Yi's judgment was correct.
When the game reached the 65th minute, Chelsea intercepted the ball in the middle and Kante passed the ball to the frontcourt to Hazard.
After Hazard grabbed the ball and attracted the attention of the defense, he knocked the ball with his heel and hit it to the left side near the sideline.
At this time, left wing back Marcos Alonso came up from behind as quickly as possible, received the ball and headed towards the baseline.
Then, before the Paris Saint-Germain players came to block it, he directly passed the ball low from the left!
And Harry Kane, who had been ambushing in the middle, quickly followed up, got ahead of the two Paris Saint-Germain central defenders at the front of the small penalty area, took a push shot, and scored, 0:2!
The entire goal was played very quickly. Paris Saint-Germain's defense didn't even have time to react before it was torn apart by Chelsea's counterattack. By the time they returned to defense, the ball had already been scored.
This goal can almost be said to have completely destroyed the confidence of the Paris Saint-Germain players.
At home, two goals behind Chelsea!
What made them even more desperate was that although they tried hard to stop their decline in subsequent games, Chelsea did not give them any chance.
On the contrary, Chelsea has been in control of the game and has taken advantage of its passing and control, launching effective attacks again and again.
Seeing this, Blanc quickly made another substitution adjustment.
He replaced Van der Wiel with Aurier, who was in a sluggish performance, and Kurzawa, who replaced Maxwell, who was a bit immobile.
This is replacing both starting full-backs!
This was obviously a move to strengthen defense, which made Paris Saint-Germain fans very dissatisfied.
Nasser and others in the chairman's stand even left the table angrily.
At this point in the game, Paris Saint-Germain has no hope of winning.
But Blanc felt miserable.
Why doesn't he know to step up his offense?
But the problem is that now both of our full-backs have been turned into dogs. If we don't adjust, we may be in for a tragedy.
If we lose the ball again, all our efforts will be in vain!
However, Pan Yi quickly responded to Blanc's adjustment.
He replaced MT Lukaku with Mbappe, who had been resisting injuries in the front today.
This is equivalent to replacing a strong warrior with an agile assassin, and at the same time, it can also allow Paris Saint-Germain's rumored target to cause hundreds of millions of damage to them.
Sure enough, in the 80th minute, Chelsea once again launched a sharp counterattack.
After Mbappe received a long pass from seat B on the left, he relied on his strong personal ability to get rid of Verratti's defense with his speed.
Poor Verratti pulled and pulled him, and finally he was dragged behind Mbappe, unable to stop the French teenager's sudden advance.
In the end, Mbappe made another burst, passed Aurier who came to defend, and then shot with a burst, once again piercing the Paris Saint-Germain goal!
0:3!
The game has completely lost its suspense.
——
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 0:3.
But after the game, an accident happened.
That is Paris Saint-Germain head coach Blanc, who did not attend the post-match press conference.
And not only him, not even a representative from Paris Saint-Germain came.
Not only Pan Yi, but everyone at the press conference was surprised by this sudden change. They all realized that the problem seemed serious and had some ominous premonitions.
——
Half an hour ago.
The home team's dressing room.
All the Paris Saint-Germain players stared blankly at President Nasser who walked in, and most of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Because after the game, the chairman rarely comes in, especially after losing.
When he came in today, there must be something important...
The locker room became silent, and many people didn't even dare to speak out, just looking at Nasser.
Then Nasser said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, I need to announce something right away."
After hearing this sentence, everyone realized what was going on.
Captain Thiago Silva was the first to stand up: "Mr. Chairman, as the captain of the team, I think now is not a good time."
"I think so too." Ibrahimovic also stood up.
Obviously, they all knew exactly what was going to happen, that is, Nasser wanted to fire Blanc on the spot!
Although Ibrahimovic feels that Blanc's level is average, this does not prevent him from thinking about the interests of the team.
Fengxian is a guy with clear grievances. Now he is also the vice-captain of Paris Saint-Germain and the most important leader in the locker room, so he needs to come out and show his attitude.
Blanc smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It's okay, Mr. Chairman, you can tell me."
"Both the owner and the board of directors are very grateful to Mr. Blanc for his contribution and achievements over the past two years, especially the four domestic championships he has brought us..."
When Nasser said this, he paused.
Everyone also knows that he is going to start saying "but".
really.
To be continued...
