In the summer, Anelka joined Chelsea, is definitely the most important transfer within the Premier League.
Anelka was the top scorer in the Premier League last season. He almost won the European Golden Boot Award. In the fiercely competitive Premier League, this honor can definitely be regarded as the world's top striker.
After 2000, this honor has been monopolized by top stars.
Hasselbaink, Henry, Van Niel, Van der Vaart, and until Anelka last season, won the Premier League's top scorer, there are only a few players, from these names can know, the Premier League How great is the honor of the best shooter, so when Anelka joined Chelsea, almost everyone was concerned about the transfer.
This heavyweight transfer also made Chelsea fans look forward to Anelka's performance.
It's a pity that up to now, they have all been a little disappointed, because after Anelka came to Chelsea, the performance was still gone, but did not show the strength in Manchester City.
In fact, Anelka himself was troubled.
When he left Manchester City to join Chelsea, he was a little hesitant, but in the end his brother Claude convinced him, in order to get a higher and larger salary contract, he chose to leave Manchester City, after which he also felt that his ability , No matter what the team can achieve success.
But now, more than four months later, Anelka regrets.
One of the points is that he did not expect that it would be so difficult for him to readjust to a team.
Chelsea does not have the environment of Manchester City. The play and habits of the two teams are different. When he played in the manner of running in Manchester City for two years, he found that his teammates could not keep up. Many times he ran ahead. If there is a free seat, the football will not be passed in the first time.
The reason. Or Chelsea and Manchester City, the technical strength of the midfield difference.
Chelsea's central midfielder is Lampard. Others include Essien, Barack and others. These players are not technical and do not have the world's top pass coordination ability. Manchester City is the opposite. Morris, Silva, and Ivan Crewe are very good at passing. The tactical system of the entire team is also built with passing.
But for whatever reason, Anelka felt that the way he used to run had no effect at Chelsea. So he made it clear that he needed to re-learn ‘Chelsea ’s way of playing’.
He needs to get used to running again. Or to adapt to tactics, the most important thing is that he needs to adapt to his teammates.
There is no fixed promoter for Chelsea's offensive. The front, midfield and backcourts are all adaptive running, so often, as a striker, you need to rely on your own play, but also rely on your tacit understanding with teammates. Or it is often more important than the former, and there is a tacit understanding with teammates. Then football is easy to pass over.
This is the opposite of Manchester City.
Manchester City's tactics are completely 'formatted'. Passing is against the position and the person. As long as the running follows the rhythm, the football can pass.
In short, Chelsea is a completely different team from Manchester City.
In addition, the Chelsea front competition is also very fierce. An important reason for Anelka to leave Manchester City is that Darren Bent is gradually able to compete with him in the main position. He does not even have the confidence to compete for Darren Bent, but came It was after Chelsea that he discovered that the competition was more intense.
Needless to say, the best performing Drogba, he even competes for the second-level Kalu, but after all, Kalu is also an excellent player, and played for Chelsea for a season, and he is not comparable in every way. In addition, on the bench with him, there is also a world-leading striker like Shepchenko.
In this competitive environment, Anelka feels much more difficult.
At the same time, Anelka feels that he does not have the trust of the head coach. The new Israeli coach does not value him very much. Even if he plays, as long as he does not perform well, he will face the result of being replaced.
Based on the above factors, Anelka has a feeling that he wants to perform well in Chelsea. At least half a year later, he needs to adapt to the environment here. Only when he is fully adapted can he find the best game feeling.
It is now a match against Manchester City. Anelka's feeling is very complicated. He has no idea how he feels when facing former coaches and teammates.
Anelka played in Manchester City for five years, and five years is enough for anyone to have feelings, so his feelings for Manchester City are still very deep. At the same time, no one of the current teammates knows the strength of Manchester City tactics better than him .
The head coach made him warm up to play?
Can I do it myself?
What Anelka did not realize was that he not only lost his familiar environment, but also lost confidence in the face of former teams and teammates.
Wan Sheng sat in position and turned to look at the sidelines.
Anelka is ready to play.
At this time, there must be a lot of people paying attention to the substitutions of Chelsea, and there are also many people commenting on the substitutions. Is Anelka replacing Kalu? Wan Sheng's mouth twitched, and in his view, this was a failed adjustment.
Anelka's ability is excellent, and he knows Manchester City very well, but in the same way, Manchester City knows him very well.
Wan Sheng also knows Anelka's personal attribute data, which means that Anelka's strengths and weaknesses are all on the bright side, so it is easy to defend him.
Wan Sheng walked to the sidelines, called Morris, and roughly explained his defense against Anelka.
In general, the player blocked the pass with a running motion, forcing Anelka to fight like Drogba. This is what Anelka is not good at. His body is also very strong, but in fact he is good at using Technical striker.
If he played like Drogba, he would become very uncomfortable.
After Chelsea completed the substitutions, the match between the two teams restarted. Many people were concerned about Anelka's performance. Even Sky Sports TV screens were frequently switched to Anelka. However, for a long time, Anelka didn't perform well.
In the next ten minutes, Anelka only touched the ball three times without posing any threat to Manchester City's goal.
If you do n’t pay special attention to Anelka, or even know that he has touched the ball, he seems to disappear from the game.
"Anelka's performance is a little bad!"
"Kalu will also have some passes and shots, and his teammates have done well, but the French have done nothing ..."
"Chelsea made a loss-making deal!"
Or Sky Sports explained that George Woodgate made a rational analysis, "Anelka ’s time in Chelsea is not long, and he has not fully integrated into the team. We can see that he is actually working hard to run, but even if he runs It ’s useless to make a vacancy. He is also used to running in Manchester City, but Manchester City and Chelsea are two teams. "
"In addition, the Manchester City players know Anelka too well. Many times their defense will make Anelka very helpless ..."
Anelka showed no performance, disappointing Chelsea coach Grant.
The Israelis also expected the team to equalize the score, but ten minutes later, Chelsea did not equalize, but gradually the situation is no longer dominant.
In fact, after Morris scored, Chelsea launched a offensive against Manchester City.
They must do this.
From 1: 3 in the first half, to 3: 3, and now to 4: 3, Manchester City have fallen from two goals behind to one goal in the lead, and they have also become the one behind.
Before they were thinking of winning Manchester City, the score fell behind. They were very unwilling to lose the game, so they launched a tough offensive against Manchester City. For a time, Manchester City was breathless, but ten minutes passed. Manchester City also gradually started a counterattack.
Chelsea can control Manchester City with a single air pressure, but Manchester City's strength is not worse than them, so they can't suppress continuously. When Manchester City slows down, Chelsea will face defensive pressure.
In the 84th minute of the game, Chelsea was eager to score a goal, resulting in an unstable defensive formation. David Silva suddenly inserted forward, causing their defensive line to completely collapse.
This is the offensive launched by Ozil!
After receiving a poke from Morris in the midfield, Ozil took the ball forward without waiting for Morris to catch up. In the face of Lampard's interception, Ozil made a small change of direction and followed the direction Rampage rushed forward, Lampard failed to keep up for a while, after Ozil took more than five meters forward, he passed the ball to Ivan Krue who quickly inserted the wing.
Ivan Crewe received a pass and immediately attracted defensive attention. Chelsea's defensive formation immediately tilted to the right. At this time, Ivan Crewe did not hesitate and suddenly hung the ball to the right of the penalty area. side.
There, Silva kept up!
Silva's forward was very decisive. He took advantage of Chelsea's free space on the left side of the penalty area and received a large transfer pass from Ivan Kru. When the Chelsea defender wanted to stop it, it was too late. The thing is, using his body to block between Silva and the goal, but Silva did not do any stop motion, he chose to poke the ball directly to the right.
The camera turns to ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There is Ozil keeping up with it!
"Ozil! Ozil!"
The broadcaster shouted in surprise, and Chelsea fans in the stands also exclaimed.
Their voice didn't affect the game. Ozil was running and there was no defensive player beside him. He waved his right foot without hesitation to meet the ball.
"Boom!"
The right foot came into contact with the football, and immediately the grass scraps flew.
Shoot!
Goalkeeper Cech made a save, but only saw the movement of the Czechs, but the football flew into the net without any suspense.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooal !!!!!!"
With the goal, George Woodgate shouted loudly, "3: 5!"
"The outcome is set !!" (Unfinished to be continued.)
