Football’s First Defender

Chapter 296: Seriously injured

In the new season of the Premier League, affected by the financial environment, the major traditional giants have to shrink their clothes and diet, and have limited investment in the transfer market.

There was only one accident, the Blue Moon Manchester City Club.

Petroleum Capital has shown its terrifying ability to print money, and it has invested heavily in the summer transfer window.

After frantically replenishing strikers in the previous seasons, Manchester City focused on replenishing the team's midfielders in the summer.

Through the introduction of Yaya Toure, David Silva, Milner, Korolaf and other powerful players, the team has become a star-studded Manchester City on the strength rankings of the authoritative media. In the Premier League season Before the start, he was deemed to have the strength to impact the Champions League.

Coupled with last season, Tottenham have successfully broken the four giants monopolizing the Champions League, and the Premier League is likely to stage a six-strong battle for hegemony in the new season.

It's just that it is wonderful, but it is undeniable that with the reduction of the traditional giants' investment, and the starlight of the team, the Premier League team still cannot match the two giants of La Liga.

For Chelsea, the most realistic goal of the team this season is of course to defend the league.

Although the depth of the team's lineup was greatly affected, in the early game, it did not restrict Chelsea's play because of the lineup.

Chelsea, who won five consecutive victories in the opening league, seemed to prove to everyone that although the team lost a lot of blood in the summer window, with the existing lineup, Chelsea is still the top team.

Although in the sixth round of the league, due to the impact of the English League Cup and the Champions League group stage, the Chelsea players did not have enough rest and lost to Manchester City, which had been crazy for several consecutive summers.

But afterwards, Chelsea was back on track. The team defeated Arsenal at home and defeated Blackburn at home. After 10 rounds, Chelsea, who relied on a wave of victories and scored 27 points, firmly occupied The top position.

The number of Chelsea on the offensive end is indeed somewhat stretched due to the departure of many players. Although there are supplements from Ramirez and Benayoun, Ancelotti still believes more when he cannot fully integrate into the team. Those old faces of a season.

In order to deal with the lack of offensive strength of the team, Ancelotti can only allow the team's full-backs to participate more in the offense, by increasing the number of offensive players, such a crude offensive method to maintain Chelsea's offensive power.

Yang Feng on the back line has more room to play this season.

When Chelsea needs to accumulate people on the offensive end, Yang Feng's defense is often threatened by the opponent's counterattack.

Chelsea has an internal statistics. At the beginning of the new season, the number of interceptions that Yang Feng needs to complete has increased by more than 60%. Although the team has a good record, the pressure on the back line has increased significantly compared with the past few seasons.

That is to say, Yang Feng is really good at defending the opponent's counterattack, and will always use the most reasonable method to solve the opponent's counterattack threat.

Ancelotti, the most satisfied with the Chelsea management this summer, is to reject the crazy offer made by Real Madrid and keep Yang Feng, otherwise, Chelsea will suffer in the New Year season whether to defend or The final test to attack...

It's just that Ancelotti is happy, but Chelsea's management is not happy now.

When Chelsea bought Yang Feng from Zenit, they directly signed a four-year contract with Yang Feng. Although since the Hiddink era, Chelsea has discovered Yang Feng’s potential and intends to re-sign with Yang Feng for a longer period. Time contract.

But Yang Feng has always refused.

What everyone considered at that time was that Yang Feng would use better performance to win higher contract prices and higher wages.

Facts have proved that Yang Feng also bet right.

Although Chelsea did not complete the final defense in the Champions League last season, the Premier League, losing to the FA Cup game to you on the official website, is still a good result.

The key is Yang Feng, who has really become the absolute core defensive player of the team.

Although Chelsea’s captain is still Terry, Terry also has enough influence on the field, but in terms of the role of the game, it is undeniable that the younger Yang Feng is gradually transforming into Chelsea’s true defense boss ...

In the critical period when the contract is two years away, Chelsea’s management, of course, after some discussions, intends to keep Yang Feng with a higher salary, but in the summer, when the renewal negotiations have not yet begun, Yang Feng has already asked The team submitted a transfer application.

After Chelsea explicitly rejected various trade offers and forced Yang Feng to stay on the team, Yang Feng did not conduct any strikes or missing tricks. He still trained conscientiously and participated in the competition, still focusing on playing a better self.

It's just that Yang Feng represents Chelsea. In the new season, he has overcome difficulties on the court and completed wonderful supplements and defenses for Chelsea. However, Yang Feng has indeed repeatedly rejected the renewal conditions set by Chelsea management.

Yang Feng is determined to leave Chelsea, no one can persuade him.

Of course, if Chelsea really does not let go, then Yang Feng can only enjoy a low contract and play for Chelsea for two more seasons.

But then, Chelsea will also lose the super high transfer offer represented by Yang Feng.

Chelsea’s management is also struggling, and even they don’t understand why Yang Feng has made up his mind to leave Chelsea under such a high salary level.

After all, there are few giants that can compare to Chelsea today. The lean camel is bigger than the horse. Moreover, Chelsea’s defensive ability is obviously strengthened after Ramirez joined, so Yang Feng’s departure, In the end it may only be attributed to the "childhood dream"!

Yang Feng's insistence on renewal negotiations does not affect Ancelotti's use of Yang Feng. After all, Yang Feng wants the future, and the management wants results and proof of his operational ability.

As Chelsea’s defensive line, the player with the strongest ability to make up for leakage, and the defender who defends the opponent's best counterattack, under the offensive tactics used by Chelsea today, the defense of Yang Feng's position is becoming more and more important.

In the absence of a complete fallout with the team, Yang Feng, who has a fairly guaranteed career, did not let the club management pressure the coach to restrict Yang Feng's playing time.

It's just that Chelsea's top position is becoming less and less obvious as all fronts play.

Chelsea’s lineup is really weak this season. Under the great advantage of the first ten rounds, because of the tight schedule of the Champions League, there has been a cliff-like decline in the league.

Before the Boxing Day schedule, for seven full rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea won only one game.

In 7 rounds with 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses, it became extremely difficult for Chelsea to win when the offensive end was unable to play.

On the other hand, Manchester United, with a maximum of 6 points behind Chelsea, completed a counterattack on the standings and pulled Chelsea from the top position!

Chelsea, who was already a weak lineup, began to experience extensive injuries as the season entered December.

The team relies on a set of teams to fight, under the pressure of the Champions League, the Premier League, and the English League Cup three-line battle, the players' physical fitness is exhausted, and the appearance of injuries is normal.

Coupled with the time entering the end of the year, the most devastating part of the Premier League schedule, the brutal schedule of Boxing Day is about to begin.

Chelsea have injured Essien, Malouda, Drogba and many other generals. Of course, the players who came off the bench are obviously not good.

Every time after Chelsea, the game started to become extremely difficult.

In the final analysis, the reason for the ups and downs of Chelsea's record this season is that the team's offense has had a big problem. There are not so many midfield attacking players, and Ancelotti himself is also a clever woman.

When Chelsea's record declined significantly, An Pang would not take the risk to use some young players. For the team's record to improve, only the main players with obvious physical weakness can be forced to persevere and continue to fight for the team.

The home game against Bolton is the second game of the Devil's schedule on Boxing Day. Fortunately, Chelsea sits at Stamford Bridge in this game.

Although Chelsea’s offensive firepower this season is not too outstanding, but with the cheering of the home fans, Chelsea’s home firepower is not too bad. After all, there are 8 home games and 6 games have been won. If the goal is not scored, , How can we achieve the final victory?

No one expected that Bolton would become that dark horse this season.

Liverpool continues to sink in the new season. Liverpool, considered the top six seeds, is now in the middle of the league. The other top five have performed well. As the big dark horse, Bolton is now only ranked sixth, but it is tight. Biting into the Champions League zone, Chelsea, who is third behind, has only 3 points.

Faced with direct competitor Bolton, Ancelotti has made sufficient preparations.

Although the offensive tactics have not changed much, but in positional warfare, facing Bolton's extremely simple long pass and sling play, An Pang deployed many defensive arrangements for the high-altitude ball on the defensive end.

If the team scored an early goal, it is naturally perfect. If it can't do it, it can only rely on defense to ensure that it will not be counterattacked by the opponent, and then find another move.

Chelsea, who has lost Ballack, has now reduced the threat of long-range shots in the middle. Only Lampard is constantly shooting long-range, but he also gave Bolton defenders and the opponent's goalkeeper enough defensive preparations and stayed. Sufficient response time was given.

Bolton, in this game, has no plan to give up.

It is also recently that Chelsea's record is so poor that Bolton sees the hope of stealing chicken away.

While the Chelsea players are not in their best physical fitness and form, the Bolton players still want to try on the road to see if they can overturn Chelsea.

The two sides played this game extremely openly. Bolton used his better running ability to continuously complete the restrictions on Chelsea's offensive, and he organized his own counter-attack frenzy.

However, under the defense of the solid center line composed of Yang Feng and Terry, Bolton's offense is still inadequate and there is no way to create better offensive opportunities.

However, sometimes everything changes...

In the first half 0-0, both sides did not gain on the offensive end. In the second half, Chelsea still took the initiative to attack, hoping to take advantage of the attack.

However, when there were not enough passers on the offensive end, Mikel, who was forced to participate in the organization of the ball, had a great force in the ball. As a result, Anelka did not stop the ball and was cut off by the opponent and directly countered. .

Bolton's left back, with no time delay, directly made a long pass with a big foot to find a teammate on the front.

However, Yang Feng's reaction was still so quick. Relying on the judgment of the landing point, Yang Feng directly stood in the most favorable defensive position, jumped high directly, and completed the clearance.

However, this time, an accident happened.

Yang Feng's header cleared nothing wrong, but Bolton's striker Mark rushed straight from behind Yang Feng, wanting to borrow a run-up ~lightnovelpub.net~ to complete the jump and hit the ball.

Yang Feng had already pushed the ball out, but Mark himself was unable to lower his speed and retracted his body to collide.

For Yang Feng's ball, under the time requirement, for the sake of safety, he had to use his full strength to take off.

And Mark, directly from the side and rear, knocked down Yang Feng in the air.

In order to maintain the balance of the body, Yang Feng subconsciously chose to balance his feet during the forward movement of his body. However, the pain in his knees made Yang Feng instantly lose his balance and fell on the turf.

"It hurts!" This was Yang Feng's first reaction

Although Yang Feng is extremely active in the central defender's position, he has been injured very rarely, and he can be called an iron man.

But this time, the knee position is painful in concentration.

When he fell to the ground, Yang Feng knew it was over. He was now at this height and weight, injured his knee, and pained intently. The injury was definitely not light.

The match was definitely unable to persist. After checking, the team doctor signaled the stretcher to enter the arena with disappointment, and then took Yang Feng directly to the hospital.

Yang Feng, who was lying on the stretcher, understood thoroughly this time. This time it was definitely not a small injury. The little luck in his heart was completely gone. Now, Yang Feng just hopes that the injury this time will not affect it. I started my career with great difficulty.

After all, it is in London's own site, with sufficient medical facilities in all aspects. Yang Feng's injury consultation went extremely fast, but the final result was destined to make Yang Feng unable to sleep.

A torn cruciate ligament, 6 to 8 months of training, reimbursement for the season, may affect the next career, even if optimistic like Yang Feng, at this time, it seems like five thunderstorms, I can't believe this fact.
