440 Three-dimensional offense

Drogba, 1 m 89,91KG.

I believe that all managers, when they see this piece of data from Drogba, one reaction is, frown!

It's terrifying, how strong does this have to be to get this weight?

It's simply a heavy tank!

It is because of his size that the head coach uses him only one way for every team he goes to, that is, to be at the front as a bridgehead, to impact the opponent's defense, and then arrange a scorer next to him to form a double striker.

It's a fixed pattern, from Le Mans to Guingamp!

When he came to Liverpool, when Drogba and Yang Cheng met for the first time, the Chinese coach laid out a very clear career path for him, that is, to transform him from a dull tactical center forward to a more well-rounded top center forward.

One of the main reasons why Drogba is loved by all managers is that he has a high level of tactical execution, and the second is that he is very hardworking.

Since joining Liverpool, he has been honing his skills according to the basic technical training laid down for him by Moniz and Muhrensteen, including a set of techniques such as holding the ball with his back, turning with the ball, and turning and passing.

Drogba himself knows very well that it is not a long-term thing to rely on his body to eat, because sooner or later his body will weaken one day, but all those players who have a physical flow, once they are over 30 years old, their state immediately declines sharply, because his body is not good.

And the development direction that Yang Cheng planned for him was to change his dependence from relying on his body to relying more on technology and consciousness.

This is very much in line with Drogba's taste, so he meticulously conducts special training according to Yang Cheng's plan.

Almost a year has passed, and he has indeed achieved certain results by practicing himself, but it has not yet met Yang Cheng's requirements.

However, Yang Cheng couldn't wait for him to practice a stunt of taking the ball and turning around to pass the ball, so after discussing with the technical team, he studied another auxiliary skill.

……

When Drogba retreated, Campbell was always the first to follow.

In football tactics, no one will let the opposing centre-forward face his goal, even if he is 30 meters away from his goal, it is just as impossible, why?

Because when he faces your goal, he can make a lot of choices, and he can even blast a long-range shot directly, so whenever Drogba pulls out, Campbell will stick it up and stop Drogba from turning in the first place.

As long as you don't let him turn around, he'll be like a scrap of wood.

Campbell is also a well-known strong man in the Premier League, but as soon as he came into contact with Drogba, he immediately felt that Drogba's strength would not lose to him at all, and the Ivorian had agility and speed that did not match his strength.

As soon as Campbell leaned behind Drogba, the Ivorian immediately felt a huge pressure coming from behind, but he held on to it, and the whole person leaned on Campbell.

At this time, Drogba's body was slightly to the left, more of a use of his body to carry Campbell, while the England central defender kept squeezing him behind him, but the Ivorian was unwavering.

In the Premier League, there are very few strikers who can compete with Campbell for this role, and Drogba is one.

As soon as Drogba got close to Campbell, Carrick's through ball immediately came to his feet, and it was a pass that was passed several times in the game, but it didn't have much effect.

But this time, it's clearly different.

Campbell, who bore the brunt of the attack, immediately realized this.

The England centre-back is a right-footed player, and when Drogba takes the ball, he turns to his left, which means his backfoot.

At this point, Campbell couldn't move, because his left foot could only be used as a support, and it was a bit difficult to break the ball flexibly even when he was moving freely, let alone when his body was being suppressed.

As a result, Campbell could only watch Drogba stop the ball, turn sideways, push him with his shoulder, pull the ball with his right foot, directly block Campbell on the left side of his body, and then pass a straight ball forward with the instep of his right foot.

All defenders know very well that they can't let the opponent take the ball head-on, especially if they rush up at high speed after taking the ball, it's simply fatal, because as soon as the opponent rushes up, he is advancing, you are retreating, lore! After Drogba suppressed Campbell with his body, he turned sideways and passed the ball through, which is undoubtedly to achieve this effect. For whom?

Little Ronaldo on the right side almost at the moment Drogba turned around, very quickly shook off Klich, cut in at high speed on the inside line at great speed, and his explosive power in a moment prompted him to shake off Klich in an instant.

When Ronaldo sprinted diagonally from the right to the penalty area at high speed, Drogba's pass came right in front of him.

Chrissy chased after him, while Chloe Toure quickly leaned in from the middle to stop Ronaldo from making a quick run into the box.

But when he leaned over, Xiao Xiaoluo had already followed the trend and kicked the ball out, and the whole person accelerated to catch up.

At this moment, Wenger rushed out of the coach's box, and watched with some amazement as Xiao Xiaoluo cut into the penalty area from the right side, made a sharp stop, deducted Lehmann who fell to the ground, and pushed the empty goal!

At this moment, Yang Cheng seemed to have foreseen that Xiao Xiaoluo would score, and made a gesture in advance that he was holding the chance to win, raised his right fist high above his head, and waved his fist at the assistants around him, opening his mouth wide and shouting excitedly, "The ball is in!" ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo......" The last word, Andy Gray shouted very long.

It was a sudden, but very exciting goal, so from the manly physical confrontation of Drogba and Campbell to the small Roche-like cut inside from the right flank, the whole thing happened in the blink of an eye.

"It's too fast!" Andy Gray looked at the TV camera as he excitedly celebrated with his teammates near the corner flag, "His speed is so fast that he can barely stop him!" ”

Interestingly, the live TV camera jumped to Yang Cheng.

This is also a very interesting scene broadcast in the Premier League this season, almost Liverpool's goals, concedes, or an offensive defeat, they will focus on switching the camera to Yang Cheng's head, for which Ferguson also joked that Sky TV specially arranged a camera in the stadium to focus on Yang Cheng.

When you're done, it's back to slow-motion playback.

It can be clearly seen that at the moment Drogba turned around, Xiao Xiao Luo had already rushed up.

'Arsenal's backline was pulled out, Drogba withdrew from his usual best area and retreated to around 32 metres, Campbell was forced to follow, and Kolo Toure had to keep his distance, causing the hole between the centre-back and the full-back to be magnified.

"For this kind of ball, Kolo Toure can't defend against it at all, and Chrissy can't keep up with Xiao Xiaoluo, both of them can only watch Xiao Luo use his speed to pass through their defense, enter the penalty area, and score!"

'It was a very beautiful attacking combination and we could see that Liverpool were consciously pulling and pinning down to create a gap for Ronaldo so that the Portuguese could play to his speed advantage, shake off Klich from the right and cut inside to score.

"It's definitely an incredibly precise tactical coordination, textbook running and traction!" Andy Gray marveled.

Yang Cheng looked excited after the ball was scored, because that's what he wanted.

And that's not all, it's coming.

Yang Cheng has a lot of ideas about the cooperation of the front trident, especially with Robben and Xiao Xiaoluo, two players with excellent individual ability and speed, plus a Drogba, if he can't carve a set of terrifying offensive coordination, then he is really ashamed of the honor he has received.

…………

…………

Liverpool pulled a goal back and Arsenal looked disappointed.

Arsene Wenger took to the sidelines and reminded Arsenal's defenders not to stretch the distance too far and learn the lesson of this time and not give Liverpool's players another chance.

As he walked back, past Pat Rice, Wenger looked very serious.

"We all guessed wrong!" Arsene Wenger was a bit frustrated.

Pat Rice knows that, too.

Just now they all thought that Liverpool was going to play Carrick's over-the-top pass, so they arranged Toure to help defend, but in fact, what they wanted was the gap brought out by the backrun between teammates, and then use this gap to play and insert the attack. , from Drogba's weak foot against Campbell, to passing the ball to the area between Toure and Klich, and finally Xiao Xiaoluo's insertion, it is obvious that they are all targeted, and every step is a routine designed by Yang Cheng. "I just estimated that the defensive misalignment will reach 20 meters, unless we retract the players in front of us, it will be very difficult to defend, even if it is very difficult to put Kolo Toure to help the defence!"

Theoretically, as long as Drogba can pass the ball, whether it is on the left or right, it will work, and he can see Kolo Toure standing to pass the ball, and Kolo Toure is weak even if he wants to help defend and fill the position.

And if the full-backs are brought in, it is equivalent to giving up all the wings of the backfield to Liverpool, and then they will choose to cross the bottom, Drogba will cut in the back, and the threat is also huge.

What is a three-dimensional offense?

This is the three-dimensional attack!

"What now?" Pat Rice asked.

Arsene Wenger also frowned, and he looked at Campbell, "I hope Thor can resist that beast!" ”

But after a few attempts, Wenger began to find that it was difficult!

…………

…………

Liverpool broke the ball, Drogba retreated as always, but Robben and Xiao Luo on the two wings did not have the slightest idea of retreating, they were like two sharp knives, waiting for Arsenal to show their flaws at any time.

As soon as Campbell became aware of the Ivorian movements, he immediately followed.

He remembered what Wenger had reminded him in the dressing room at half-time, don't let Drogba turn around, and he also decided to hold down the beast in life or death.

But when it came time for him to retreat with Drogba, he immediately realized his passivity.

Drogba took the initiative to retreat, the Ivorians were naturally in front, Campbell passively followed him to retreat, he could only follow the Ivorians, after all, he definitely couldn't retreat in front of Drogba, really that, as soon as Carrick stepped forward, he went straight behind him, no play!

As a result, Drogba took the initiative when he retreated, could gauge the distance from the goal and his teammates on both sides, and when he came to the right place, he immediately stood firm and set up his position.

When Campbell came up, he was devastated to find that he could only be behind Drogba because he wanted to stop Drogba from turning.

If it's a slightly thinner center, as soon as Campbell squeezes, the opponent will lose his balance and lose position, especially when he has the ball and wants to turn, but Drogba, a strong and perverted monster, is not, and he is not at all inferior to Campbell in the power confrontation.

Therefore, Campbell can only choose to interfere with him, dare not easily move his center of gravity, and dare not easily get off his feet, because as soon as the center of gravity shifts, one foot, if it is unsuccessful, the opponent can directly turn and rush forward, and then Arsenal's back line is more dangerous.

A perverted Drogba almost represents insolubility, and the all-round passive Campbell had to tragically discover that once Drogba took the ball, stopped the ball, and posture made the monster feel comfortable, the Ivorian was able to carry him with his body, and then turn sideways and pass the ball again.

This time it was Xiao Xiao Luo who cut in after throwing off Chrissy from the right side, Toure still couldn't catch up, he and Chrissy could only watch sadly as Xiao Xiao Luo cut in from the right side at high speed, took the ball and rushed through the entire Arsenal back line, entered the penalty area, shot low at the right post, and broke through Arsenal's goal again, 2:2!

Andy Gray wasn't as excited as he was when he scored the first goal, but he was still amazed by the attacking power Liverpool had shown.

"Although compared to the first goal, because of Lehmann's position, Xiao Xiaoluo chose to shoot first, but the whole routine is the same as the first goal, and Arsenal obviously has nothing to do about it!"

With the camera focused on Arsene Wenger, the professor looked distressed as he found that Liverpool's attack was almost always based on this routine, with only changes in detail, movement and distance.

But what made him even more distressed was that Arsenal could do nothing about it.

From the 30th minute of the first half to the 52nd minute now, in more than 20 minutes, Liverpool made several attempts, and Robben and Little Luo also wasted a few chances, but once it was played once, it was almost a hit. Football is like this, every goal is full of unpredictability, as long as there is a deviation in one of the links, the ball will not score, and the whole process must be very precise to be able to lead to a goal.

Arsene Wenger is going to stop Liverpool from scoring, he has to break this routine and interrupt their whole process.

"Saul obviously can't restrain Drogba......" Wenger frowned, he could only say that he didn't know what kind of luck Yang Cheng had taken, and he actually found Drogba, the beast, at the same time, as well as Robben and Xiao Luo, two guys who are so good at speed and technology.

In the end, he had to start outside Drogba and bring Vieira back.

This move did play a role, but Liverpool equalized the score, the offensive was like a tide, and it was when everyone was holding their breath, and Wenger's move undoubtedly boosted Liverpool's arrogance.

…………

…………

In the 58th minute, just a few minutes after the last goal, Liverpool broke the ball in midfield, and Davies stole the ball from the feet of Pire, and chose to advance with the ball himself.

Davies' dribbling ability was also excellent, and his move immediately disrupted Arsenal's defensive set-up.

Vieira pulled it out immediately, but Davies chose to pass the ball to the retreating Drogba, and the Ivorian knocked back, and the two formed a beautiful one-two, Davies crossed Vieira and faced directly at the Arsenal backline.

Kolo Toure opted to go up and Arjen Robben cut in diagonally from the left and the Dutchman slotted the ball straight behind him.

After Robben received the ball in the middle, he stopped sharply, changed direction, took a step to the left, and volleyed with his left foot, the ball almost grazed the left post and rolled into the goal, Lehmann was out of reach of this shot, and could only watch Robben shoot and score, 2:3!

"Oh my God, it's reversed! Liverpool reversed! Andy Gray exclaimed.

"In the 58th minute, Liverpool's attack was like a tide, Robben cut inside on the left side, volleyed with his left foot, and once again penetrated Arsenal's goal, scoring a goal for Liverpool!"

'Liverpool's performance was outstanding, especially with their front three, which was even more impressive.

After the goal, Robben rushed out of the box and pounced on his Dutchman Davies excitedly.

It was the combination of these two Dutchmen who scored the goal for Liverpool.

The two Dutchmen hugged tightly and received the congratulations from their team-mates around them, and they both did a great job.

"It's unbelievable, Liverpool's attack has been going up wave after wave, and since they've stabilized the situation, the front three have shown a very good attacking ability, especially the interspersed movement and coordination of the three players, and each of them has excellent individual ability, which makes it very difficult for Arsenal to defend!"

Andy Gray shook his head and sighed, "Obviously, this is Yang Cheng's tailor-made attacking tactics for these three players, Arsenal can't do anything about it, Wenger must make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise, Liverpool will continue to score goals." ”

Speaking of this, Andy Gray suddenly found it amusing, and smiled a little wryly in embarrassment.

"In the first 10 minutes of the first half, everyone still thought that this would be a big Arsenal victory over Liverpool, but who could have imagined that the game would turn around and Liverpool in turn played a round of attacking frenzy, and it was even possible to play a big score against Arsenal!"

"Today's Arsenal should not continue to dwell on how to win the game and win the title, they should think more about how to defuse the attack of the Liverpool trident, which is what they need to do most at the moment!"

It is clear that Andy Gray has sensed the inability of the Arsenal defence against the Liverpool trident.

The overtaking itself speaks for itself!
