Gary Cahill switched to Chelsea from Bolton during the winter break last year, and then it was the name that fans around the world remembered. It was also called Cahill before, but Tim Cahill was undoubtedly more famous.

Cahill is not a typical British central defender. Although he has a very standard British central defender body, as long as you watch him play football, you can easily find that he is very different from other British central defenders, that is, he rarely engages in direct physical confrontation, and he looks more like a drag-back and assisting defense.

When he was at Bolton, he had few physical confrontations. After arriving at Chelsea, the same was true. Compared with the British central defender's robbery, he prefers to drag behind his teammates to defend. He is very good at attacking players to take action by passing the opponent and breaking the ball directly. This is his strength.

In other words, this is a team player, and one-on-one ability is not his strength.

In this game, Mourinho arranged for Gary Cahill and Terry to play. Judging from the combination of the central defenders, the two are more complementary. Gary Cahill is the type of central defender that can complement both traditional British central defenders. Gary Cahill is on the right and Terry is on the left, which is also of particularity.

Ivanovic focuses on defending. Cahill approaches him and encounters an impact from the opponent's left. Ivanovic defends the first point and Cahill drags back, which makes it easier to exert Gary Cahill's strengths and cover up his shortcomings.

Hazard's effect was not obvious when he tried to break through the left side several times before, and Tottenham's analysis team quickly noticed one thing, that is, when Hazard took the ball to attack the left side, Gary Cahill was always between Ivanovic and goalkeeper Cesar. This is his defensive habit and ensured that the goal was not lost.

But this also caused another result. Just now, when Hazard attacked Ivanovic, the Belgian winger suddenly stopped and cut in. At this time, Gary Cahill realized that Hazard's ball was a bit too big and wanted to go up and intercept the ball, but the distance between him and the ball was more than ten meters.

Hazard reacted quickly, his speed and explosive power were also fast, and he was very smart. He rushed forward with a quick step, blocking the left side of the ball first, blocking Gary Cahill from making a foot. The latter dared not make a foul easily. After all, this is the front of the penalty area. Then Hazard took a light trip with his right foot and controlled the ball.

The Belgian reacted quickly and made mistakes, but quickly stabilized his position. But the disadvantage is that the team missed the opportunity to attack quickly. After all, after Gary Cahill came up, Terry quickly returned to the middle, and Ashley Cole also retracted from the penalty area. Chelsea's entire defense began to focus on the right, which is Tottenham Hotspur's left.

At the same time, Ramirez and Mikel have also returned. In addition, Lampard and Chelsea's three midfielders have all landed at the front of the penalty area to protect the defense. Tottenham's attack hit the wall again this time.

If it were Ribery, perhaps the sudden emergency stop and incision process could be handled well, while Hazard was still a little immature. In terms of some details, he was still a little bit different from the top superstars, but it was just such a little bit of distance that led to him not being able to get the top superstars so far.

But Ye Qiu told him more than once that he would maintain this momentum of patience and progress, observe more, and learn more. After a period of accumulation, his entire technical style will undergo a transformation, and this little gap will be filled unknowingly.

Hazard saw that Chelsea's defense had already fallen and knew that there was no chance to attack. As soon as he passed by Gary Cahill, he immediately passed the ball diagonally, not looking for Ramsey or Vidal, because they were all in Chelsea's defensive encirclement and went directly to find Pirlo who was inserted in the back row.

The Italian received a pass from Hazard about 25 meters. Lampard and Mikel rushed towards him at the same time. Mourinho said before the game that he should be careful of Pirlo, so they dare not be careless.

Pirlo turned sideways, faced the right side, blocked a close Lampard with his body, and rubbed a half-high ball with his right foot, and gave it to the right side. Messi was outside the right corner of the penalty area, in an unmarked state.

Messi grabbed the ball in the right corner of the penalty area, and Ashley Cole rushed forward to defend him immediately. Oscar, who rushed back from the front, wanted to double-team Messi with his teammates, but even one-on-two, Messi still carried the ball calmly, not nervous at all, as if he was not afraid of losing the ball.

Mourinho saw this scene on the sidelines, but he quickly realized the danger because he saw Kyle Walker in a white jersey on the right rushing forward at a very fast speed, so he immediately shouted, "Beware of Kyle Walker's bottom!"

As soon as he shouted, Kyle Walker had already passed by Messi. The Argentine pushed the ball straight to the bottom line under Ashley Cole's nose, and Kyle Walker quickly caught up. Even after Ashley Cole heard Mourinho's call, he gave up Messi and followed Kyle Walker, but the latter still got the opportunity to make a cross in front of the bottom line. Ashley Cole raised his foot and wanted to intercept the ball, but it was too late.

At this moment, there are many white and red players in Chelsea's penalty area. Vidal was at the front point, Cavani was in the middle, Ramsey was at the back point, Ribery was slightly behind, and Pirlo rushed to the penalty point. The entire Tottenham Hotspur's offensive line has rushed into Chelsea's penalty area.

Everyone's breathing paused at this moment, and they saw the ball passing an arc in the air. They did not look for Vidal, who had already stuck in the front point, nor did they look for the back point, but landed accurately in front of Cavani in the middle. The Uruguayan seized the advantageous position when competing with Terry, jumped high and headed the ball to a far corner.

The ball was more like rubbing Cavani's head, turning a direction, and drilling into the upper left corner of the goal.

Cesar was standing in the middle of the goal. He was powerless to do anything about such a goal. He could only turn his head and watch the ball enter the goal, 1:0!

"Hey, the ball is in!!!"

"In the 34th minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur finally scored a goal!!!"

"Accurate cross from Kyle Walker from the right, Cavani headed the ball in the penalty area, 1:0!!"

While the commentator was shouting on the spot, all Tottenham Hotspur players had already rushed out of the stadium, rushing to the area where Tottenham Hotspur fans were located, celebrating the goal.

Mourinho on the sidelines was so angry that he shook his hands. He did not blame the players, but was disappointed with the team's mistakes, because the team still showed flaws in the transformation and pulling from left to right of Tottenham, which also reflects the team's tacit understanding in the movement and the lack of misjudgment of the situation.

"Tottenham Hotspur has indeed found a way to deal with Chelsea buses. They began to use this back and forth pulling left and right, forcing the entire line of Chelsea to move left and right, and then find the gap in the line of defense in this left and right movement."

"This can also be said to be a very typical feature of Tottenham Hotspur's offense. They frequently cross positions and pull back and forth. These are the characteristics of defensive players who are very troubled by Tottenham's offense."

Not long after the live commentator finished speaking, after the game started again, Chelsea, who had kicked off again, quickly lost the ball. Tottenham Hotspur mastered the ball again and launched another wave of offensive.

Pirlo passed the ball to Ramsey near the left side. Tottenham Hotspur seemed to be playing on the left side. Marcelo was pressing very well, and Hazad simply cut into the penalty area directly. But after Ram got the ball, he did not pass it to the left, but directly passed the ball with a diagonal pass. On the right side, Kyle Walker inserted it. After receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, he grabbed the ball into the penalty area with one kick before Ashley Cole.

I saw Messi, who had already cut into the penalty area, held the ball with his back to Terry, and was very flexible and had a fake move to turn around and cut inside. After tricking Terry into responding, he suddenly started and dribbled the ball down the bottom, pulled out a position and swung his right foot, and shot it hard, but this time he didn't grasp the right foot well, and the ball rubbed against the left post and came out of the baseline.

"A very smart attack, Tottenham Hotspur players are very smart when they attack."

"Ramsey took the ball and saw you, Chelsea, guarding me, I moved directly, and went to the right side, caught you off guard. Kyle Walker's insertion was very determined and very suddenly, because Marcelo went up. Under normal circumstances, Kyle Walker was going back, but he suddenly inserted it, obviously there was a tacit understanding with his teammates."

"It's a pity that Messi's shot was a bit of a pity. If it was his left foot, the ball would probably be in again!"

"Now Tottenham's offense is targeted, Mourinho's Chelsea is in a difficult situation, especially their defense, which is very dangerous now, because Tottenham has already threatened. If this continues, if no suitable and effective curb method is found, he will probably have to be scored."

But Mourinho is not a fuel-saving lamp. He quickly made adjustments and began to consciously pull the three midfielders closer to the defense line to maintain the meticulousness of defense, especially Mikel, while the two full-backs can extend out of the penalty area, which looks a bit similar to the five-back double midfielder playing style.

When it was halftime, Mourinho simply won the Oscar directly and replaced David Luis. He really adopted the five-back style. The three midfielders remained unchanged, and the formation became a 532 tactic. The two forwards were left in front of him, Torres and Sturridge.

Not to mention, after changing the formation and substitution, the defense became much more stable, and the counterattack became effective.

Especially in the 64th minute, Lampard passed the ball, and Torres took the ball in the counterattack and attacked Tottenham Hotspur's defense line head-on, attracting the attention of two central defenders, and then passed the ball to Sturridge, who cut into the penalty area from the right and suddenly took the ball on the right rib.

This shot was very dangerous. Cech flew to make a save, blocking the ball out of the goal with a single punch, barely resolving the most threatening attack in the game. This time the thrilling situation also made Tottenham feel the danger from both sides.

But it was also this shot that made Ye Qiu shake his head when he watched on the sidelines because he found that after the team was leading, the players lost contact on the left and right sides under the conscious cutoff and blockage of Chelsea.

You know, the smartest thing about Chelsea is that he allows you to play on a certain side, but he does not allow you to cut in easily, because after playing on the side, you can only cross it down, but if you cut in, you can find players from another side to cooperate, which is very dangerous, and Tottenham Hotspurs is best at cutting in.

"Cavani scored a goal in this game, but she wasn't excited enough." Ye Qiu shook his head and said.

This summer he represented Uruguay in the Olympics. Although he returned to the team early, his condition reserves were somewhat affected. The goal just now seemed to have made greater contributions. The English right-back's cross was very good and he had Beckham's true pass.

"Let Drogba warm up!" Ye Qiutou didn't even know how to do it and shouted at Roland.

Soon, behind him, Roland asked Drogba to warm up. After running a few laps, the Ivorians returned to Ye Qiu's side. He was obviously ready to play after the second half.

"After playing, if two sides cut inward, you go as a wall, if they go to the bottom, you go to the top, do you understand?" Ye Qiu explained very seriously after Drogba approached.

Drogba nodded vigorously, then ran to the fourth official to prepare for the field. At this time, there was a burst of cheers on the court. Even Chelsea fans were cheering for Drogba, although this was the first time he faced his old club after leaving Stamford Bridge.

After Drogba and Cavani slapped Cavani, they walked onto the stadium, first sprinted directly, then warmed up, and got familiar with the venue. When he reached the front, Hazard and Messi had already received signals from Ye Qiu.

"Didil, pay attention to my gestures!" Messi made a gesture in secret, and so did Hazard.

In other words, when they make this gesture, they must strive to cut inward, otherwise they will be lowered.

Drogba walked to Terry and smiled at his former teammate. The two nodded as saying hello. The game did not pause because of their old friends' reunion and kicked off immediately, but Chelsea still quickly transferred the ball to Tottenham Hotspur.

The backcourt passed two or three consecutive kicks, avoiding Torres and Sturric. Marcelo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but Chelsea's defense was very strict. The Brazilian passed the ball to Pirlo, who was then distributed to Vidal. The Chilean retreated to the offensive direction and turned around and passed the ball to Messi, who was unguarded on the right.

Messi dribbled the ball from the right, Ashley Cole and Lampard were both approaching him, but before the two of them surrounded, Messi quickly passed the ball at least fifteen meters straight and cut the defense area between them and came to Drogba at the top of the right corner of the penalty area. After the latter carried Terry with his body, facing Messi's incoming ball, he did not let the ball stay under his feet, but stretched out his right foot.

The ball seemed to hit Drogba's foot and turned in a direction. Messi had already passed through the middle of Ashley Cole and Lampard and came to Drogba. After the ball hit Drogba's foot and rebounded, it happened to be on Messi's running route.

The Argentine was obstructed by Lampard when he got the ball, but after a sudden stop, he turned inward and cut horizontally along the penalty area line.

Chelsea's defense is very elastic. Lampard could not hold on for a moment, and Mikel and Ramirez immediately acted. Mikel was responsible for limiting Messi with Lampard, while Ramirez stood at the top of the arc area, blocking Messi and continuing to cut in horizontally.

But Messi's dribbling attracted the attention of Chelsea's defense. After seeing the Argentine cut inward, he turned sideways to protect the ball, and took a chance. He pushed the ball inside his left foot. The ball was so fast that even Ramirez and Mikel had no time to react, and passed through the small gap between the two.

This was definitely a very fatal kick, and it directly teared open the opponent's tight defense line to pass the ball!

I saw Marcelo rushing up from behind. When he was receiving the ball in the upper left corner of the penalty area, there was no player defending him in front, so he took a step forward and reached the small penalty area line, allowing the entire Chelsea defense line, and even their midfield, to press into the small penalty area.

After all, Drogba is in the small penalty area, and passing like this is too dangerous.

But Marcelo suddenly dunked the ball to the left side of the penalty spot with his left foot, and saw Ramsey inserted from behind and shot in anger against the ball. The ball responded again and entered the net, 2:0!

"That's right!!!"

"The ball is in again!!!"

"It's better to make the chapters on both sides and pull back and forth. This time, Drogba made a wall in the front to help Messi cut from the right to the middle. Messi's pass was too threatening and it was definitely fatal. It was just right to pass from Mikel and Ramirez, very, very fatal!"

"Marcelo also handled it very smart after getting the ball. He could choose to pass the ball to Drogba, but he was worried about Terry. If it was a low cross, Chelsea would be in the small penalty area and obviously had no advantage, so he chose to take a gamble and insert it afterwards. The area behind the insert is often the scoring area between Ramsey and Vidal!"

"2:0, in the 71st minute of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur scored another goal, and the game didn't seem to be much suspense!"

"Murinho's defense was organized very well in this game. Tottenham Hotspur, who was able to control the superb offensive ability, did not get many decent scoring opportunities in the whole game. Chelsea's defense was really successful, but unfortunately, they encountered Tottenham Hotspur with superb offensive ability!"

"Tortham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu!" The live TV camera was given to Ye Qiu on the sidelines. "He taught everyone a lesson in this game very vividly. He seemed to tell everyone that the iron barrel formation is useless to us, and the best and most effective way to break the iron barrel formation is to fight both sides on the left and right and maintain a close connection."
