Super Marshal

Standing in front of the goal, Van der Sar kept bouncing back and forth, and his hands kept shaking.

Goalkeepers are a very special profession, because during the entire game, they are really required to make very few saves, and sometimes there may not be one in the entire game, and no one knows when it will come back.

However, whenever it comes, it requires you to do your best and do your best.

Therefore, in every game, the most important thing for a goalkeeper is how to keep his body in the best condition.

It's only August now, and the situation is not particularly obvious, but once it enters the cold winter, that will be the real test.

As Van der Sar, who has played in the Premier League for two seasons, has accumulated a lot of experience in this regard.

Dragging at the back of the team, he seems to be doing his own thing, but he has been paying attention to the movement on the court and maintaining communication with captain Terry and Gallas on the defensive line.

After the start of the game, Liverpool took advantage of the home court and launched a rush attack on Chelsea, with the intention of dampening Chelsea's spirit.

After all, this is Chelsea's first game, so the Blues also focus on safety and are not in a hurry.

"William, be careful Owen."

Husky began to retreat, Terry followed, but Owen came up from behind, and Van der Sar immediately reminded Gallas.

But this time, Liverpool did not grasp the timing of the pass, and Owen sprinted once in vain.

"Paul, you should pay more attention to Diouf."

Van der Sar noticed that just now Diouf and Owen advanced almost at the same time, but he stuck to the left.

All this appears to have been premeditated.

Van der Sar has a lot of experience and is also very focused and has been observing the game situation.

Liverpool's frequent probing finally created an opportunity.

In the second minute, Husky retreated, and after receiving a pass from his teammate, he made a wall and passed it back to Murphy. Murphy made a pass behind him without stopping the ball, while Irving sprinted forward at an extremely fast speed.

The sudden opportunity made Anfield boil.

But at the critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly and decisively attacked, rushed to the front of the penalty area, grabbed ahead of Irving, and directly cleared the ball with a big kick.

Gallas, who was chasing after Owen, nodded towards Van der Sar, secretly rejoicing.

If Owen succeeded in counterattack just now, then he would be the team's number one culprit.

But Liverpool couldn't stop there, and quickly reorganized and returned to Chelsea's half.

It was still Husky who retreated, but this time he passed directly to the left. Diouf used his personal speed to forcefully break through Ferreira's cross, which was easily picked off by Van der Sar near the penalty spot.

Owen, like a spirit fox, wanted to force Van der Sar to let go, but failed.

Both opportunities were frozen by Van der Sar himself, and Owen seemed unwilling.

But Van der Sar ignored him, but shouted at his teammates, asking them to press up.

Kick off with big feet, which is Van der Sar's forte.

After being suppressed by the opponent for several minutes in a row, Chelsea was also full of anger. When they saw Van der Sar shouting, they immediately moved forward.

There was only a bang, and the ball was quickly kicked out of the penalty area, quickly crossed half of the pitch, and fell towards Liverpool's position. As if premeditated, Ibrahimovic had already Got stuck.

As soon as the ball arrived, he nodded his head and headed back to the midfield.

Deco, Ronaldinho, Deco, Makelele, Veron...

The ball was passed back and forth like this, all with one quick and concise touch, which made the Liverpool players want to get closer to grab it, but they couldn't make it in time. They could only watch helplessly as the ball shuttled back and forth among the crowd.

Finally, the ball fell to Terry's feet, and Liverpool gave up the midfield press.

They also have to consider their own physical consumption. If they continue to chase the ball like this, they may have been caught by Chelsea and scored a goal before they get the ball.

But Chelsea is still not in a hurry, and still focuses on stabilizing their possession of the ball, playing very patiently.

"Okay, fine, take your time, don't worry."

Gao Han applauded from the sidelines and conveyed his meaning to the players on the field.

It was almost ten minutes into the game, and now they have secured the ball. There is really nothing to say about Liverpool's enthusiasm.

"What an untamable beast!" Gao Han praised.

From the beginning to the present, the game was very intense, but not exciting enough. Chelsea also had a lot of problems, especially the mistakes in passing and receiving, which still failed to meet Gao Han's requirements.

But this can't be rushed, only as the season progresses, the players gradually develop a tacit understanding, and I believe it will get better.

As Chelsea stabilized possession, Gao Han also gradually observed central defender Terry.

After all, he was born as a midfielder. Terry's ability to hold and deliver the ball is very good. It is very reassuring to control the ball in the entire midfield.

What is even more rare is that when Terry defended Husky, he did not lose the wind at all, and even restrained Husky's performance many times, showing his unique defensive ability. In time, he will definitely become Chelsea's defense line banner.

"After all, he is a central defender with a potential of 180."

Before coaching Chelsea, Gao Han had roughly scanned the situation of Chelsea players with sharp eyes.

As one of the captains of the team, John Terry's potential is as high as 180. This is the central defender with the highest potential that Gao Han has coached so far, only better than AC Milan's Nesta and Inter Milan's Cannava Ronaldo is five points short and is level with Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand.

But Terry is younger, so his strength is slightly inferior to Ferdinand's 170, only 160, but this strength is enough for him to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League.

As for the other central defender, Gallas, with a potential of 175 and a strength of 165, he is also quite outstanding.

For the two central defenders under his command, Gao Han also has high hopes. He is confident that he can train them into a pair of Premier League, and even the strongest central defender combination in Europe, and become the iron wall of Chelsea's defense.

"I really didn't expect that in just two months, Chelsea's pass control played well."

Andy Gray was impressed with Chelsea's performance as they secured possession.

"Yeah, it looks like Atletico Madrid, but the formation is different." Martin Taylor also thought it was good.

Atletico Madrid's style of play is very entertaining, and it advocates aggressive offensive football, which is very popular with fans.

"It should be said that Atlético Madrid pays more attention to advancing in the middle, but judging from Chelsea's formation, Ronaldinho was arranged on the left, Eto'o on the right, Ibrahimovic in the center, It’s obviously an offensive style of play that focuses on the two flanks.”

Andy Gray's analysis was immediately shared by Martin Taylor.

"And if you look at the midfield, both Deco and Veron are positioned at the front, with a wide range of activities. Both players are very active. In addition, Makelele sits behind him, which greatly shares the defensive pressure of the midfield, so Deco and Veron can devote more energy to organization and offense."

Martin Taylor said with certainty: "This must be Gao Han's careful arrangement."

When I was talking about this, I saw that on the court, Chelsea's backcourt kicked the ball and passed it to the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic grabbed the first spot again. The Swedish center's frontcourt fulcrum is very obvious.

"Tsk tsk, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is really strong, he is strong against Hyypia and Henchoz, and he is not at all inferior."

"Yes, it wasn't particularly obvious when I was at Ajax, but now it seems that the physical fitness is really quite good."

"Chelsea is able to grab the first point now, but the next attack after that has not been organized well."

"Well, let's see how Gao Han has adjusted."

…………

"Hey, don't you think those two guys are a little strange?"

Gao Han pointed to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eto'o on the field and asked strangely.

Cantarero and Emery next to him both nodded in unison.

Sergio Garcia even spoke with statistics, "So far in this game, there have only been two passes between them, and they were all passed under forced circumstances."

This has already been said clearly, there is a problem with these two guys.

"What's going on?" Gao Han asked his assistant.

But everyone is also confused.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are both kind of people with great personalities, or rather, they are a little weird and a little arrogant, so even if they have something on their minds, they will keep it secret, and naturally no one will know.

The frontcourt offensive trident is only those three people, and the two have never interacted with each other, so what's the point?

But the two didn't look like they were feuding, and they didn't see any conflicts between them during training on weekdays.

Gao Han shook his head and sighed, bluntly saying that he didn't understand.

"We have to strengthen the second point of attack." Cantarero reminded.

Emery suggested from the side: "How about letting the midfielder go forward more?"

Gao Han nodded.

Liverpool's current problem is that there is a lack of a stable midfielder between the defense and the midfield. Neither Murphy nor Biscayne can effectively protect the defense, which has become Liverpool's biggest hidden danger.

It is estimated that because of this, Liverpool won eleven consecutive rounds in the absence of Harman last season.

But now, if Chelsea want to break through the Red Army's goal, they have to take this area.

Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately walked to the sidelines and gestured towards Deco.

He and Deco have worked together at Atletico Madrid for two years, and they are familiar with each other. As soon as he gestures, Deco immediately understands.

At the same time, Gao Han also called Ronaldinho who was nearby, and asked him to hold the ball more. It is best to use his personal ability to try to break through or cut inside. This is the Brazilian's forte.

After sending away Ronaldinho, Gao Han entered the coaching system.

"Five-star attack card activated, target: Eto'o."

"Five-star assault card activated, target: Ronaldinho."

"Successfully activated the combo card effect, advancing by leaps and bounds."

With the two five-star skill cards put into use, Chelsea's offensive immediately became more threatening on the scene, especially Ronaldinho, who was on the left, began to frequently use his personal ability to hold the ball, and was like an entry in the frontcourt. Yun Kuanglong messed up Liverpool's defense.

Whether it is Carragher, Henchoz or Biscayne, none of them can stop this stadium magician from Brazil.

Until the twenty-seventh minute...
