Football’s First Defender
Chapter 310: Defensive test
Taking advantage of the recent schedule, Liverpool did not make any mistakes in the league and kept advancing all the way to maintain a winning streak.
In the last game of 2011, Liverpool defeated the "magpies" Newcastle 3-1 at home, extending the winning streak to five games.
Yang Feng’s comeback is seen as a turning point for Liverpool’s season. Relying on the stable performance of the defense in the distance, Liverpool can unscrupulously invest in the attack and directly allow Liverpool to win 5 consecutive victories. In the standings, further Consolidate your ranking in the Champions League.
However, in the game against Newcastle, Liverpool stayed in four consecutive games without a block, and the team's defense was broken in a counterattack by Newcastle in the first half.
After all, Yang Feng is just a central defender. Even though his personal strength is indeed strong, the space on the football field is still too large. Yang Feng and his teammates naturally cannot take into account every position of the backcourt defense.
A wonderful pass, an excellent forward counter-offside attack, Newcastle's counterattack, went straight into the back hole that Yang Feng could not take care of. After that, when facing Reina single-handedly, Newcastle's winger did not panic. A shot aimed at the far corner directly penetrated Liverpool's door.
Fortunately, Liverpool had already taken a two-goal lead before. This loss has little effect on the situation of the game.
Liverpool, which has won five consecutive victories, ushered in absolutely good news after the match with Newcastle. The captain Gerrard, who has been plagued by injuries this season, can finally return from injury in the next round of the game.
Everyone is looking forward to whether the central axis composed of Yang Feng, Gerrard and Suarez will make Liverpool better.
In the first game of 2012, Liverpool went to Manchester for an away game.
It's just that this time it is not a fierce double red club, but to go away to challenge the "Blue Moon" Manchester City team that has emerged this season.
After many consecutive seasons of huge investment, Manchester City has finally soared into the sky this season, showing the same terrorist capital power as Chelsea in the Premier League.
However, many people think that this Manchester City is stronger than Chelsea.
After all, when Chelsea rose, the Premier League was only Manchester United dominating. At that time, Arsenal had begun to go downhill because of the new stadium. In front of Chelsea, there was only Manchester United.
And now Manchester City, under the prying eyes of many powerful players, in just a few years, they have successfully completed the team's counterattack relying on the investment of big capital.
From a Premier League "lift" team, it has become a strong contender for the championship. But also, thanks to the rise of Manchester City relying on the gold dollar, the London team Tottenham relied on the rise of youth training, coupled with the traditional four Premier League giants, and the perennial mid-upper team Everton, as well as some unknown players With the rising team during the season, the Premier League has become more tense, intense, exciting, and beautiful.
The championship remains in suspense, and the competition for the fourth group is fierce and unusual. Even the final relegation zone has killed the red eye. The Premier League's broadcast ratings this season, stimulated by various suspense, are rising sharply.
For Liverpool, this away game against Manchester City is the best opportunity to test their strength.
Although Liverpool have recently won 5 consecutive victories and are gaining momentum, they still have to make all-round preparations in the away game against Manchester City, which is now ranked number one.
My family knows their own affairs, Liverpool’s defense, and Manchester City’s terrifying striker are absolutely at a natural disadvantage.
It’s like Yang Feng’s defense. Fans know that Yang Feng is a mid-low team forward "dad"-level central defender. This sentence can be understood in the opposite direction. It can also be seen as a forward facing a giant team. Yang Feng is sure Doesn't have that kind of defensive magic.
In the final analysis, it is true that offensive players have the greatest initiative in football.
In the case of 1v1, the best defender in the world, facing the best forward, must be the forward, who can successfully complete the attack more often.
Because the forward players have the initiative to attack. The choice of offensive direction, as well as the temporary change of direction, are all made by the forwards themselves, and the defenders are already in a post-reaction state.
Their reaction time may be played by offensive players, playing a time difference, and completing the final fatal blow.
Professional players, without sufficient defensive pressure, are actually extremely good. The division of forward players may be the level of exertion of their own strength under fierce physical confrontation.
Some people will become obsessed with their world and lead the ball to a dead end after being defensive; some only have speed and dare not fight; some are good at physical, but they don’t have enough technical support, and they don’t have the accuracy of shooting. ...
Many non-absolute superstars are definitely not the best on offensive end. They will have various problems. This will give center defenders like Yang Feng an opportunity to target their weaknesses and complete a successful defense.
For the top offensive finishers in the world, not only are their offensive skills proficient in all aspects, but also because their ability to handle the ball at critical moments is too strong.
Perhaps for the offensive players of other teams, they always take the lead in planning a general offensive route, and then they complete the action and attack on the premise of having a goal.
In this way, after the defensive players see through their offensive intentions, they will fall into trouble.
Yang Feng, when faced with a counterattack from the mid-lower team, the reason why he has an absolute advantage and ushered in the title of "Dad" for himself is that, first of all, Yang Feng has an accurate judgment on the point of landing, and first solved half of it at the source. The opponent countered the threat.
Later, after facing the opponent's offensive player to get the ball, no matter where he is ~lightnovelpub.net~ Yang Feng can rely on his keen judgment and defensive execution to ensure the fastest speed and see through the opponent's offensive intention , Carry out special defensive actions to contain the opponent's offense.
But in the face of a giant shooter, Yang Feng wants to complete the defense so easily in the game, which is destined to be impossible.
Being able to become the top group of people in this position in the world, get the highest salary and bear the most spotlight, means that they have that level of strength.
For this group of top players, their performance in the game can be completely moved by their hearts.
The ability to react super fast, can keep up with the strong physical coordination of the brain, the top group of strikers can make a temporary decision on the offensive method when there is sufficient space.
Wanting to defend and live alone, the top striker, is absolutely idiotic.
At the beginning, facing the world’s best offensive player at the time, the alien Ronaldo, Italy’s two world-class defensive players Maldini and Cannavaro could only use two-way shovel to intercept, no matter how Yang Feng thought of himself Qing Gao would not think that his one-man strength can be worth the four legs of two world-class defensive players in a sports battle.
This is the reality on the football field. Defensive players are inherently disadvantaged and can only rely on the defensive system and the help of teammates to win defensive space for themselves.
However, considering that Liverpool does not have a defensive system that is really suitable for the whole team, Yang Feng is actually somewhat pessimistic about this game.
Faced with the double striker combination of Dzeko and Aguero, who are likely to be sent to the field at the same time, this game against Manchester City is the biggest test for Liverpool's defense.
