Paolo Ferreira was one of the best right-backs in Europe who Mourinho cultivated and moved to Portuguese giants Porto in 2002 for €2 million from a Portuguese club called Setúbal.

The following year, Paulo Ferreira won the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Cup for Porto, and he won the 2004 UEFA Champions League for Porto with his excellent defence.

The following year, Chelsea signed Paolo Ferreira for £13.2 million, and he also became a central figure for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

Someone asked, how can Paulo Ferreira impress giants Porto with just the mediocre resumes of Estoril and Setúbal? But Mourinho, who was born in Setúbal, seems to have a natural understanding with Ferreira, and with the combination of the two, Porto have won the UEFA Cup and Champions League in succession, and Ferreira was also named the best right-back in Europe in the 03-04 season, reaching new heights of personal glory.

As a Portuguese player, Ferreira does not have the agility of Latin football, but his seemingly weak body is completely flowing with the tactical thinking instilled by Mourinho, and he is more loyal to the execution of Mourinho's orders than the Germans.

On the other hand, Mourinho also sees Pacos Ferreira as the most reliable player.

However, the European Championship before arriving at Chelsea was almost a Waterloo for Ferreira, as he made a serious mistake in the opening game against Greece that caused Portugal to lose face on home soil, and manager Scolari abandoned him in a fit of rage.

Although Ferreira was given a chance to mend his life in the final, he once again fulfilled the 'Greek mythology'.

Ferreira's popularity plummeted after the game, and when Jose Mourinho insisted on bringing him to Stamford Bridge for a record 13.3 million pounds for an English full-back, Chelsea fans were puzzled and suspected that Ferreira was in vain.

Ferreira's reputation at Chelsea has not improved much, and despite his regular starts, Mourinho has a lot of trust in him, but his caution and almost rigid defensive zone are tight. It's hard to please the fans.

However, Ferreira insisted on his approach and did what the manager told him to do, and he was responsible for defending the flanks in this game, and his defense was very tight, and he would not give the opponent any chance at all.

Now he is David Silva.

David Silva had already hit the line of the box and he was quick to make up for it, and in his opinion, the young Portuguese full-back was not much of a threat and did not show much in the previous game, but he was still careful to defend closely.

Previously, David Silva had been passing the ball to his team-mates. Now with the ball himself, Ferreira doesn't think there's anything out of the ordinary, if he is given the opportunity to be unguarded in front, he will also carry the ball forward.

So he judged that the Spaniard in front of him would still pass the ball.

He stood firmly on his right, holding the space of his cross with his body, and then slowly pressed it through.

That's Ferreira's experience.

First cut off the passing route, and then slowly pressed over, in the face of these defenses, the average young person will be very flustered. Then it's easy to make mistakes, and that's his chance.

But what he didn't think about was that David Silva didn't want to pass the ball at all!

……

David Silva has been linking up with his team-mates before, passing the ball to others when he has it. But now when he gets his chance, he wants to perform as best he can.

Wan Sheng reminded him to be solid on the pitch, but David Silva also knew that when he plugged in. The full-back behind Lescott will drop back while maintaining the formation, which means that the defense behind him can still be guaranteed. What is needed now is to find opportunities for the team.

Glancing at the Chelsea goal, David Silva's heart was on fire!

Glancing at Paulo Ferreira, who was defending next to him, he suddenly made a right-hand pluck, Ferreira thought he was going to pass the ball, and immediately shifted his weight to the ball, just then, Silva flicked the ball to the right and rushed from the left.

"The ball is divided!"

This superlative is simply gorgeous, almost textbook-perfect, Paolo Ferreira has been completely deceived, his center of gravity has not had time to adjust back, and he can only watch himself being thrown away.

"David Silva rushed past Ferreira !!" Belcot, the on-site commentator, exclaimed.

At the same time, the fans in the stands also erupted, and they let out wild cheers to cheer for David Silva.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, his eyes widening a little.

David Silva's superfluous performance is perhaps a reflection of the ability of the world's top technical players to not only shake off their opponents, but also to get away with them so flamboyantly that they will be pleasing to the eye of those who watch the game.

If this comes a few more times, David Silva will definitely be on fire! Now everyone's attention is on him!

……

Ferreira didn't expect that he would be deceived so easily, and perhaps, what he didn't expect was that the Spanish kid in front of him was so gorgeous.

He didn't react at all.

He could only watch as he was shaken and when he turned around, David Silva had already driven into the box with the ball.

But just when everyone was expecting, David Silva's shot hit the post with a bit of a pity in the face of goalkeeper Petr Cech's one-on-one shot.

"He's so unlucky!"

'It was the best chance so far and unfortunately Silva couldn't take it'......'

'Cech isn't very old but he's a lot more mature than his peers and he always puts pressure on the opposition when he's in front of goal.

"He needs to be a little bit more consistent."

“……”

Some of the commentators were a little disappointed when they talked about the shot, after all, such a good opportunity was missed, especially before the goal, David Silva's dribble was definitely the highlight, and if it could be scored, it would have been a goal that could have been said for a long time.

Ferreira let out a long breath.

It was just a defensive mistake by him, if David Silva had scored it...... Isn't that his responsibility?

As an experienced Chelsea full-back, he was thrown off so easily, and Ferreira gritted his teeth with hatred, he took a closer look at David Silva and decided to pay attention to the Spaniard next.

David Silva was a little annoyed.

It was the best chance but he didn't score the ball and he felt like he had betrayed the trust of his coach.

After seeing the football fly off the field. He looked at the coach's seat for the first time, only to see Wan Sheng clapping his hands at him, shouting, "Well done, David!" Keep doing it! I'll be able to get in next time! ”

David Silva suddenly felt refreshed!

The sound of the Manchester stadium was too noisy, and he couldn't hear Wan Sheng's shouts clearly, but he saw Wan Sheng's facial expressions, which were not blame but encouragement and praise.

Since the coach thinks I'm doing a good job, keep trying to do it!

……

With this experience, David Silva knows what to do next.

In fact. When David Silva broke through Ferreira and burst into the box, a number of Manchester City team-mates also caught their eyes on him.

Wan Sheng not only emphasized Chelsea's defence once, but also emphasized how to find opportunities in the game on the basis of ensuring solidity, but in many people's understanding, finding opportunities and defending solidity are inherently contradictory.

If you are looking for opportunities, you must press a little, either by cooperation or by individual play, but you will always give your opponent a chance to steal. This is tantamount to danger; It's easy to understand that the defence is solid, that is, to stay in formation and not give the opposition a chance.

The two do sound contradictory, how can you find an opportunity without taking risks?

But after David Silva's attack. They have found a balance, that is, while ensuring a defensive formation, they can rush up and play a wave at the same time, and they can't rush up. But it is necessary to ensure the defense as much as possible, so that it is not easy for the opponent to find opportunities, and at the same time 3 or 4 players to follow. It can also provide support for the offense.

At the same time, they also saw that Chelsea's defense was not as solid as they imagined.

Chelsea have conceded more goals in the league than Manchester City, but many people know that Manchester City play full-court pressing, so it is very difficult for opponents to score goals, and from a defensive point of view, Chelsea are definitely stronger than Manchester City.

The Manchester City players are aware of this, so they have always felt that it will not be easy to break down the Chelsea goal.

But after the attack just now, they found that Chelsea's defense, in fact, is nothing, they will also leak people, and when their full-backs are breached, the defense will also become chaotic.

This attack made Chelsea's defense, in the hearts of Manchester City players, fall from the altar.

When their defense becomes mediocre, the game feels much better!

At least the Manchester City players will no longer have a sense of fear and no more caution when facing Chelsea's defence, but play how they should play and play at the level they deserve.

In this way, the team's offensive threat immediately rises a notch!

……

Chelsea didn't realise the impact of the attack, instead rejoicing that City didn't score.

But in the next game, they obviously felt that the defensive pressure increased.

City's attacking style on both flanks was noticeably more flexible, and with the link between the middle and the middle, the switch between left and right was even better than they had always emphasised this.

There is less pressure on the right side, Musampa is an 'old acquaintance', but after all, he has just recovered from injury, his condition is not so good, his technical level is also limited, and the threat is not great, but the left side is different.

What a headache for this Spaniard!

Chelsea soon found out about that, as City continued to attack down the left, with David Silva passing or leading, giving their defence a headache every time.

Paulo Ferreira doubles the pressure on the defense!

He was still feeling relaxed as a rookie rookie for the other party, but now he found that the performance of professional players really has nothing to do with age and experience, this Spanish boy only had a little reputation with the help of Manchester City after coming to England, but the performance can only be said to be very average, not to mention the experience, but now facing the other party, he feels a headache, especially several times, the other party directly broke through on his point, but he did not grab it, but was successfully broken through by the other party twice.

It's a genius!

Paolo Ferreira was the first to realise this, but apparently his team-mates and Chelsea fans didn't realise it, and they were unhappy with Ferreira's constant 'mistakes'.

What are you doing as a 'best full-back in Europe' who is frequently broken through by a rookie in the Premier League? Ferreira felt the pressure multiply, and then his mentality was out of balance.

When David Silva came in with the ball again, Ferreira reached out to grab the ball, which was clearly an impulsive move.

Silva easily controlled the ball and flashed it to the side.

While shaking off Ferreira, he still looked at Ferreira in confusion, puzzled by the sudden action of the Portuguese defender who had been defending steadily, and he even felt that the opponent deliberately let him break through.

Behind Ferreira is the penalty area.

In the box, Chelsea captain and defender John Terry had no idea that Ferreira would be breached so easily, and the only thing he could do was to yell his displeasure and quickly meet him.

But he defended in the middle and had a hard time getting close to David Silva, but his partner William Gallas had time to block it, but at the same time David Silva passed the ball.

He saw the gap on one side and passed the ball over.

After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, many players will choose to shoot by themselves, because the defense in the penalty area is too dense, and it is not easy to pass the ball with teammates, especially David Silva has the opportunity to shoot directly, he only needs to get up directly to the goal, Gallas can't stop it at all, so no one thought at all, he would suddenly choose to pass.

Gallas didn't react, and neither did Terry.

They could only follow the ball to look away, and then they saw a dangerous figure appear in the empty spot-

Lee Morris!

"Beautiful! David Silva plays a masterful pass in the box...... Golden opportunity! ”

Belbart, the on-site commentator, couldn't help but applaud loudly.

At the same time, all the Chelsea players were aware of the danger and Morris was the focus of their target, but David Silva had attracted so much attention that no one noticed Morris's insertion.

Now he's in the best position!

The ball rolled over and his man arrived just in time to receive the pass, not even a single defender by his side.

At the moment of receiving the pass, Morris was a little stunned.

It's a clever pass, but it's not like there isn't a single defender, right? Before he had time to think about it, he immediately realized a good opportunity, and immediately waved his right foot without stopping, and pumped the ball towards the goal fiercely and hard!

The football was blasted out by him like a cannonball!

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech struggled to make a save, he stretched out his arms as much as he could, but he couldn't find the ball and the ball slammed into the net in a domineering manner. (To be continued......)
