Mattias's defense against Drogba has attracted the attention of many commentators. Drogba performed very well after transferring to Chelsea this season. The difference from history is that Drogba's foot skills and shooting ability have made outstanding progress, which has quickly become a new hero in the minds of Chelsea fans. Famous players like Crespo are completely unable to compete with him. Now he has scored more than 20 goals in various Chelsea games, and he will no longer be the dilemma of being ridiculed by Chelsea fans in history. After Drogba's transfer to Chelsea, he was ridiculed because of his average foot skills. If it weren't for his own psychological quality and Mourinho insisting on using him, he would have collapsed long ago...

Now, he is Chelsea’s well-deserved number one striker. He scored not very many goals but only because of tactical reasons. His role on the court is far more than what those twenty goals can represent - involvement, do goals... omnipotent.

Matthias' performance in Mallorca this season is getting more and more top-notch. Spain has always lacked top central defenders, especially after Jero and Nadal retired. Perhaps only one Puyor can be considered a top central defender. However, Puyor's height suppresses his performance. Matthias's characteristics are the ideal top central defender in people's minds.

In addition, the two were originally teammates, it is no secret that the two often fought on the training ground when they were in Mallorca, because Mallorca is open to the public in general training, and people are more looking forward to seeing the confrontation between them on the court to see whether Matias' shield is stronger or Drogba's spear is sharper!

But unfortunately, the highlight of this game is not Mathias' defense and Drogba's attack, but Mallorca's attack and Chelsea's defense...

Without Robben and Duff, Chelsea relies more on defense away - Mourinho and Jose said it was very courageous when talking to each other, but on the away game, he still chose to be conservative first.

The formations of both sides are actually similar, both equal to a 4222 lineup, a front midfielder and a wing forward. However, Mallorca's wing attack gained the upper hand in this game. Ferreira and Bridge were unable to play, which reduced Chelsea's offensive power, not to mention that Robben and Duff were not there.

Chelsea's defense is quite excellent. Although they conceded nine goals in the previous four knockout matches, there is a reason for that - in the game against Barcelona, ​​Chelsea only conceded two goals without one away game, and encountered Ronaldo's explosion at home. In the two games against Bayern, Mourinho was unable to play due to a suspension, and Chelsea continued to attack Bayern and relied on offense to solve Bayern. Of course, the price was, Duff and Ferreira were both injured in the game against Bayern...

Therefore, these conceding goals cannot prove that Chelsea’s defense is not good. Only now Chelsea can truly show their outstanding defensiveness.

Carvalho is the second highest-priced player in Chelsea's transfer this summer - second only to Drogba. Although as a central defender, the transfer fee of nearly 20 million pounds is already quite expensive, people have to think that his transfer is worth the money, and Drogba is also worth the money. Of course, Robben, who is worth only 12 million pounds, and Cech, who is worth 9 million pounds, is already considered a great value. In comparison, Kezman, who is worth only 5.5 million pounds, is not worth it at all because his performance is too average...

The combination of Carvalho and Terry formed a solid protection in the penalty area, while Marklele and Thiago formed enough protection. With these people in it, it was very difficult for Mallorca to pass through the midfield alone, so with Mallorca's offensive ability, he waited until the seventh minute to complete an attack - Iniesta got the ball from the right and passed it to the back point. Van Persie was about to come up to receive it, but was destroyed by Carvalho's header.

It is not easy for Mallorca to break through Chelsea's defense in midfield. After the entanglement after the opening, Mallorca's players discovered this. Thiago can run, while Mallorca can accurately appear on the pass route to intercept. With Lampard, who is also active in running, it is difficult to pass even if Mallorca's midfield organization is excellent. After a while of testing, Mallorca began to quickly hit the ball to the frontcourt and use the width of the field to launch an attack.

Such an attack created a good opportunity. Alonso made a 60-meter pass from the backcourt. Iniesta grabbed the ball before Gala, and then accelerated to get rid of Gala's entanglement and broke into the penalty area. A sudden stop was to get rid of Terry, who was forced to come forward, and then immediately took a small left foot shot. Cech performed quite stably, defended from the close angle and confiscated Iniesta's shot, and did not even give Mallorca a corner kick.

"The defense is indeed very tight." Jose sighed in his heart. Chelsea's defense thickness started from the midfield. Although Essin has not joined yet, Chelsea's midfield has already reached the size of the meat-minted midfielder in the later generations. It constantly breaks the opponent's offense through a large number of running and destructive defense. If two wingers are there, every disruption of the midfield may form an attack - Jose understands why Benitez's winning rate against Mourinho in the knockout match is still quite high. It is for one reason that Benitez can defend better than Mourinho. Jose has seen Liverpool's games against Chelsea in those years, and there is only one word: boring! Both sides are shrunk and don't come out much, and the collision almost happens in the midfield. After anyone who has no patience to press on the attack, it is easy to be knocked down by the opponent with a brick...

Barcelona, ​​which was playing a gorgeous attack, was counterattacked by Chelsea, and Bayern, who was stronger than defense, was also blasted by Chelsea. Liverpool and Chelsea, who were well-defended, would see who could defend more patiently and who could tolerate more, would have an advantage...

It's so sad.

"Operation, kill them." Jose waved his arms on the sidelines. Now Robendduff is not on the court, and Chelsea's counterattack efficiency has been greatly affected. At this time, strengthening the offense will be a good opportunity. It is estimated that Mourinho also thought so. In fact, from the beginning, Chelsea put forward a defensive lineup, and they have very few counterattacks.

Next, Chelsea launched a counterattack. Drogba finally got the ball under Matthias' entanglement, and then forced himself to break through, but was immediately forced by Matthias. Before other Chelsea players could come up to meet, Drogba could only shoot at the corner of the penalty area. Under Matthias' strong interference, his shot was floating and tilted, and he flew out of the baseline directly...

"Hey, how about it?" Matthias said to Drogba with a smile.

"Not really, I will catch you once ten times, and you are a sinner... Who made me a forward and you are a defender?" Drogba shrugged and said.

"It's really difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more interested I am!" Matthias said after humming twice.

While the two were still making a fuss, Cameni had already taken the ball. He did not drive to the left where Mathias was, but passed it directly to Macon on the right. Macon stopped the ball and dribbled the ball forward. It was not until near the center circle that he was pressed by Goodjohansen. Macon passed the ball to Iniesta and then stepped forward. Iniesta made a slight transition and passed the ball to Macon who was inserted. When everyone thought Macon would continue to go down the bottom, Macon raised his right foot while running and passed it directly in Chelsea's penalty area!

The ball drew an arc and landed in the middle. Carvalho and Torres ran towards the ball landing point at the same time, and then the two collided together - Torres' current confrontation ability is quite outstanding. He did not lose his balance after a collision with Carvalho. Instead, he rushed forward and headed the falling ball forward a little, and accelerated and threw Carvalho behind him!

Amid the cheers of Mallorca fans, Torres dribbled the ball and strode forward. Terry came up from the front. Torres did not get too entangled with him, but directly drove the ball to the left and then accelerated the breakthrough!

Torres' intention is very simple, I rely on my speed to rush hard! It is rare to have a near-counterattack opportunity. If you don't attack quickly like this, will you wait until your defense line is in place before I attack?

Terry's turn was a little slower, but he immediately made the right defense method. He did not force it on, but quickly returned to defend and blocked Torres's way inward cutting--I won't force you, I'll wait for you to adjust the direction to attack me, so that the disadvantage in speed can be regained to a large extent...

Torres strides to chase the ball and finally caught up with the ball in the penalty area. However, at this time, he was already biased from the goal. He controlled the ball and then raised his foot to pass the ball to the other side - on that side, Van Persie was following up!

The ball rushed across the penalty area. Seeing that he could not stop the pass, Terry immediately fell to the ground decisively and flew into a tackle to break the ball in the middle - even if this might cause an own goal, he couldn't care...

Unfortunately, he failed to touch the ball completely - his toes stretched out hard just rubbed the ball head-on, and the ball changed slightly and continued to fly to the back point...

However, Terry's move was quite critical. Torres' pass could be accurately passed to Van Persie's feet, but after being rubbed by him, Van Persie seemed to be a step slower. Although he fell to the ground and shot, he failed to shoot. With enough time to react, Cech made a beautiful side swing, hugged the ball with both hands and then shrank it into his arms, holding the ball tightly in his arms!

"What a pity! Mallorca's fast break was quite beautiful. Macon's long pass almost captured Chelsea's defense, and Torres's breakthrough also played a decisive role! But in the end Van Persie just didn't keep up. It seems that Klose's injury has a big impact on Mallorca..."

Van Persie slapped the lawn hard, then stood up. To be fair, his evaluation was too harsh. If it weren't for Terry's, Van Persie could have raised his foot and shot it smoothly...

"It's okay, keep on attacking!" Jose could naturally see this. He clapped hard off the court and loudly encouraged the forwards on the court.

Van Persie gave a thumbs up against the field and ran back - he had only one idea at this time. When he had a chance, he must score the ball into the goal guarded by the big man! He wanted to use the goal to prove that he was also capable of playing the main player in Mallorca, and was fully capable of competing with Torres and Klose!

ps: The next task is very heavy...but I will definitely be able to keep the roots!
