Chapter 373 The strongest central defender
Standing in front of the goal, Van der Sar kept jumping back and forth, his hands kept shaking.
Goalkeepers are a very special profession because during the entire game, they really need to make saves, and sometimes there may not be a single game in the whole game, and no one knows when it will come back.
However, whenever it comes, it requires you to do your best to do your best.
Therefore, in every game, the most important thing for a goalkeeper is how to keep his body in his best shape at all times.
It's only August, and the situation is not particularly obvious, but once the cold winter enters, that's the real test.
As Van der Sar, who has played in the Premier League for two seasons, has accumulated a lot of experience in this.
Dragging at the end of the team, he seemed to be doing his own thing, but he kept paying attention to the movements on the court and communicating with captains Terry and Galas on the back line.
After the game started, Liverpool took advantage of his home court advantage to launch a snatch against Chelsea, with the idea of slapping Chelsea's aggression.
After all, this is Chelsea's first game, so the Blues are also on the safe side and are not in a hurry.
"William, be careful Irving."
Husky began to retreat, Terry followed, but Owen stepped in from behind, and Van der Sar immediately reminded Galas.
But this time, Liverpool did not seize the opportunity to pass the ball, and Irving made a sprint.
"Paul, you should pay more attention to Diouf."
Van der Sar noticed that Diouf and Irving were flipping forward almost at the same time, but he was tightly attached to the left.
All of this seems to have been premeditated.
Van der Sar has a lot of experience and is very focused and has been observing the game situation.
Liverpool's frequent tests finally created opportunities.
The second minute, Husky retreated, received the pass from his teammate and made a wall to Murphy. Murphy kept stopping and passed the ball directly behind him, while Irving rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
Anfield was so excited by the sudden opportunity.
But at the critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly made a decisive attack and rushed to the front of the penalty area. Before Irving, he cleared the ball with one big foot.
Galas, who followed Owen, nodded to Van der Sar and was secretly glad.
If Irving succeeded in the counterattack just now, he would be the team's number one sinner.
But Liverpool didn't want to give up, and soon reorganized and returned to Chelsea's half.
Husky still retreated, but this time he passed directly to the left. Diouf used his personal speed to forcibly break through Ferreira's cross, which was easily taken by Van der Sar near the penalty spot.
Irving, like a fox, wanted to force Van der Sar to take it off, but failed.
Both opportunities were frozen by Van der Sar himself, and Irving seemed unwilling to accept it.
But Van der Sar ignored him and instead shouted at his teammates, asking them to press on.
Big feet kick off, this is Van der Sar's specialty.
After being suppressed by the opponent for several minutes, Chelsea was also full of anger. When he saw Van der Sar shouting, he immediately pressed forward in the formation.
Only a bang was heard, the ball was quickly kicked out of the penalty area, quickly crossed most of the stadium, and landed on Liverpool's position. As if there was a premeditation, Ibrahimovic had already stuck the landing point.
As soon as the ball arrived, he snatched his head back to the midfield.
Deco, Ronaldinho, Deco, Marklele, Veron...
The ball was just passing around, all of which were touching the ball quickly and concisely, allowing Liverpool players to get close to grab it, but they couldn't have time. They could only watch the ball shuttle back and forth in the crowd.
Finally, the ball fell at Terry's feet, and Liverpool also gave up the pressing in the midfield.
They also have to consider their physical energy consumption. If they continue to chase the ball like this, they may have been caught by Chelsea before they can catch the ball.
But Chelsea is still not in a hurry, and still focuses on stabilizing its possession and plays very patiently.

"Okay, very good, take your time, don't worry."
Gao Han applauded on the sidelines and conveyed his meaning to the players on the court.
It was almost ten minutes before the game started, and now I have won the ball. Liverpool's motivation is really undeniable.
"What a wild beast that is hard to tame!" Gao Han praised.
The game has been very intense since the beginning, but not exciting enough. Chelsea has many problems, especially the pass and receiving mistakes, which have not met Gao Han's requirements.
But this is too urgent. As the season deepens, the players gradually develop a tacit understanding and believe that it will improve.
As Chelsea stabilized possession, Gao Han gradually observed central defender Terry.
After all, he was a midfielder. Terry has good ball-handling and ball-handling ability. He can effectively become an important support point for the team when the team controls the ball. In addition to Galas and Van der Sar behind him, Chelsea's entire midfield and backcourt control is still very reassuring.
What's even more rare is that when Terry defended Husky, he did not lose any disadvantage, and even curbed Husky's performance many times, showing his independent defensive ability. In time, he will definitely become the banner on the Chelsea's defense line.
"All he is a central defender with a potential of up to 180."
Before coaching Chelsea, Gao Han had already scanned the situation of Chelsea players with his keen eyes.
As one of the team's captains, John Terry has a potential of up to 180, which is the highest potential central defender Gao Han has coached so far. He is only five points less than Nesta of AC Milan and Cannavaro of Inter Milan, and is on par with Manchester United's Ferdinand.
But Terry is younger, so he is slightly inferior to Ferdinand's 170 and only 160, but this strength is enough to make him gain a foothold in the Premier League.
As for the other central defender, Galas, his potential reached 175 and his strength reached 165, which is also quite outstanding.
Gao Han also has high hopes for the two central defenders under his command. He is confident that he can train them into a pair of the strongest central defenders in the Premier League and even Europe, and become a wall of iron on the Chelsea's defense line.

"I really didn't expect that in just two months, Chelsea's pass and control played well."
Andy Gray was impressed by Chelsea's performance after stabilizing possession.
"Yes, it looks very Atletico Madrid, but the formation style is different." Martin Taylor also thought it was good.
Atletico Madrid's playing style is very ornamental, and it advocates aggressive offensive football, which is very popular with fans.
"It should be said that Atletico Madrid pays more attention to the mid-range advancement, but judging from Chelsea's arrangement of troops, Ronaldinho was arranged to the left, Etoho hit the right, and Ibrahimovic was in the center, which obviously focused on the offensive style of the two sides."
Andy Gray's analysis was immediately recognized by Martin Taylor.
"And you look at the midfield, Deco and Perron are both in front, with a large range of activities, and both players are very active. In addition, Marklele is behind him, which greatly shares the defensive pressure of the midfield, so Deco and Perron can have more energy to devote themselves to the organization and offense."
Martin Taylor said with certainty: "This must be Gao Han's careful arrangement."
Just as I said this, I saw Chelsea's backcourt kick on the court and passed it to the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic grabbed the first landing point. The Swedish center's fulcrum role as the frontcourt fulcrum is very obvious.
"Tsk tsk, Ibrahimovic is really strong, and he is strong enough to fight against Hepia and Henjoz, and he is not at all inferior."
"Yes, it wasn't particularly obvious when I was in Ajax before, but now it seems that my physical fitness is really excellent."
"Chelsea can grab the first point now, but the next attack has never been organized well."
"Well, let's see how Gao Han adjusted."
…………
…………
"Hey, do you think those two guys are a little strange?"
Gao Han pointed at Ibrahimovic and Etoo on the court and asked strangely.
Cantalero and Emery next to them both nodded.
Sergio Garcia even spoke with data, "So far, they have only made two passes between them, and they are all forced to pass."
This is already very obvious, these two guys have problems.
"What's going on?" Gao Han asked his assistant.
But everyone was confused.
Ibrahimovic and Etoo are both very personalities, or they are a bit weird and a little arrogant, so even if you have something to do in your heart on weekdays, you will hide it and not say it, so naturally no one knows it.
There are only three people in the frontcourt offensive trident, and the two of them never interact with each other. How can they even fart?
But the two didn't look like they were making enemies, and they didn't see any conflicts in their daily training.
Gao Han shook his head and sighed, saying that he couldn't understand.
"We must strengthen the second point of attack." Cantalero reminded.
Emery suggested on the side: "How about let the midfielder go forward?"
Gao Han nodded.
The problem with Liverpool is that there is a lack of a stable midfielder between the defense line and the midfield, and neither Murphy nor Biscan can effectively protect the defense line, which has become Liverpool's biggest hidden danger.
It is probably because of this that Liverpool failed to win eleven consecutive rounds when Harman was absent last season.
Now, if Chelsea wants to break through the Reds goal, they must use this area to attack.
Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately walked to the sidelines and made a gesture to Deke.
He worked with Deco at Atletico Madrid for two years and was familiar with each other. As soon as he gestured, Deco immediately understood it.
At the same time, Gao Han also called Ronaldinho nearby and asked him to hold the ball more. It is best to use his personal ability to try more breakthroughs or cuts inwards. This is the Brazilian's specialty.
After sending Ronaldinho away, Gao Han entered the coaching system.
"Five-star offensive card is activated, target: Etoo."
"Five-star assault card is activated, target: Ronaldinho."
"Successfully activate the combination card effect, making rapid progress."
With the two five-star skill cards put into use, Chelsea's offensive immediately became more threatening on the scene, especially Ronaldinho, who was on the left, began to frequently use his personal ability to get the ball, and in the frontcourt, it was like a crazy dragon, disrupting Liverpool's defense line.
Neither Carragher, Henchoz or Biscan could stop this stadium magician from Brazil.
