Football’s First Defender
Chapter 331: Defensive iron gate and magical assist l
This time Manchester United's offensive success was caused by the gathering of many unexpected circumstances.
There are no fundamental loopholes in the Liverpool defense itself, but the players' personal defensive ability is still somewhat limited in the face of these top offensive players from Manchester United.
With Rooney's equalizer, the pressure was transferred to Liverpool.
According to the FA Cup system, if there is a tie in a single round, the home and away games will be exchanged for the second round.
And if, in his own Anfield stadium, there is no way to win the game, then Liverpool will choose a day to go to Old Trafford for the second round, it is very likely that there will be more fortunes.
On the sidelines, Dalglish, when the team fell behind, was the first to deploy troops and generals, ready to use the last more than 20 minutes at home to launch the final offense.
As for Ferguson, he also didn't intend to hold the tie firmly, and then drag the game into the second game at home on the next day.
After all, if the team can take advantage of Liverpool's attack and fight back and win the promotion directly away, then after defeating rival Liverpool, Manchester United can also save a game of physical strength and compete for the championship with Manchester City in the league. , Keep more weights.
"Dalglish made a substitution adjustment first and replaced Charlie Adam with veteran Kuyt."
"If it's true, Kuyt should have a dash on the right in the last time period, and the offensive and defensive tasks of the center will be handed over to Gerald and Henderson."
As a veteran who has played in Liverpool for many years, Kuyt, the Dutchman, has been influenced by his ears and eyes, but he also has a deep Red Army complex.
In such a crucial game, the trust of the coach and the chance to play in the final period, Kuyt is also passionate, wanting to prove that he is still young and can continue to contribute to the team.
"Liverpool launched a siege of Manchester United at their home court at the last moment."
"But Liverpool must also be careful, their defense, don't be caught by Manchester United again to complete the counterattack, otherwise, it would really be a steal."
Although Kuyt’s appearance could not provide enough impact on the right side, he still used his height to have the advantage of confrontation. When facing Evra’s defense, Kuyt was still able to perform a “crushing style”. "The advancement can provide a stable pass success rate on the right.
After all, as Manchester United, Evra has invested huge players before both offensive and defensive ends. In the latter half of the game, his physical fitness will decline. Although it will not cause a collapse on his side, it will also Certainly not the same as before, all have outstanding performance.
"Kuyt made a cross on the right!"
"Within the penalty area, Carol and Suarez are fighting for the first place."
"Ferdinand! Jumped high and headed for a clearance!"
As one of the best central defenders in the history of the Premier League, Ferdinand, on the defensive end, began to occupy a greater advantage in the matchup with Carroll as Carol's physical fitness was consumed.
Today, this kind of pass directly to Carroll, in addition to the excellent pass, the personal confrontation between Carroll and Ferdinand no longer dominates.
Not to mention, Manchester United has more people in the penalty area, and sometimes more defenders come to the vicinity of the drop point to assist in defense, which will have a better positive impact on Manchester United's defense.
Liverpool's wing attack, although a lot of passes, but the threat it can cause is extremely limited.
That is because Kuyt himself also provided a high point option. When Liverpool attacked from the left, Kuyt on the right inserted into Manchester United’s penalty area to form a more threatening high point. .
However, with Liverpool's left attack, Tangning's stamina has indeed received a huge test when the entire court is focused on this side.
"Tangning tried to dribble the ball to the bottom, Smalling's defense and follow-up were very good. Tangning tried to get rid of it, but it didn't create a good chance."
"Tangning could only pass back to Gerrard who was behind him. After receiving the ball, Gerrard tried to dribble the ball horizontally and hit the goal with one kick!"
"The ball hit Carrick, who was blocked, and the ball bounced back to Scholes. Scholes hit the ball directly and distributed the ball to the right. Manchester United's counterattack opportunity!"
Liverpool’s offense had to invest more players in the second half of the game to ensure the team’s offensive suppression, but at this time Gerrard moved his position forward and inserted the offense, which naturally made Liverpool’s entire defense line. The gate hole opens.
Especially after Gerrard chose to forcibly hit the goal, but was blocked by his opponent, and immediately counterattacked, Liverpool's defense will be subjected to the threatening test of Manchester United's counterattack.
"Scholes passed the ball directly to the left side of Liverpool and participated in the attack, leaving a huge defensive space. Park Ji-sung continued to play **** the court, and directly and quickly on the side. Jump forward to get the ball."
Also on both ends of the offense and defense, José Enrique, who ran back and forth, consuming a lot of energy, even though he was still trying to chase Manchester United's pass, he obviously couldn't run and came off the bench. "Park Sanfei" who is still physically active.
In the end, it was Park Ji-sung who received the ball first, continued to take the ball, and moved forward quickly.
Liverpool's defense was wide open, and the right back Glen Johnson, who had been inserted before, could not come back. Only Yang Feng, Scholes and Henderson who delayed the defensive dispatch were left.
But when Park Ji-sung was leading the ball and advancing from the wing, Rooney, Giggs, and Valencia had already fanned out and had an impact on Liverpool's defense.
How to allocate defensive power has become a matter for Yang Feng to make an immediate decision.
Park Ji-sung’s breakthrough on the wing must be restricted. Yang Feng also knows that Jose Enrique’s stamina was already exhausted at the end. If left alone, Park Ji-sung can completely get rid of it on the wing. At that time, whether it is passing the ball or choosing to hit the goal inside, it is a huge threat.
As for the most stable point of the opponent’s striker, Rooney definitely needs to focus on defending. As for the remaining Giggs and Valencia, based on the hostile relationship between the two teams, Yang Feng is still a player of this "pure blood". More biased.
"Scholes! Get up!"
"Henderson! Go later!"
The back point is the direction that Giggs will advance in, and Scholes can also use his ability to grab after receiving Yang Feng’s quick instructions. Even if it is a foul, he must be outside the penalty area to block Park Ji-sung’s offense. .
"Scholes rushed directly to Park Ji-sung with the ball!"
"Park Ji-sung got rid of Enrique's defense before, which has created more opportunities for Manchester United to play in the frontcourt. At this time, naturally, Scholes will not be fouled to prevent the attack."
"With a horizontal knock, Park Ji-sung chose to pass the ball to the center."
It was an instant mental game, Yang Feng first rushed to Valencia, which is closer to Park Ji-sung!
In the face of Yang Feng’s interference, Valencia also knew that the two teammates on the left would form a 2-on-1. Naturally, they did not fully advance, but paused and retreated. In the case of Yang Feng’s defense, they can also get bigger The ball is received and ready to pass the first time to the left.
But seeing Park Ji-sung pass the ball to Valencia, Yang Feng abandoned the interference with Valencia the moment the ball came out, then leaned over and ran towards Rooney, who was already in an empty position.
But while Yang Feng was running, his eyes were aimed at Valencia and Rooney's position at the same time, to ensure that he was in the middle of the straight line formed by the two, and interfere as much as possible. Valencia may pass the ball to Rooney. .
Yang Feng's defensive strategy of Valencia first and Rooney later was successful in terms of defensive effect.
Yang Feng’s prerequisite defense directly interfered with Valencia’s advancement. Even after the pause, Valencia received the ball, but when the other Liverpool players returned to the defense at full speed, Valencia stopped. Want to start again, take the ball to finish the goal, the defensive pressure is also not small.
There is no way. For Valencia, at this time, he can only firm up his previous ideas and give the ball to Rooney the first time.
"Valencia chooses a through ball and looks for Rooney in front!"
As a striker, Rooney, this time he chose the running direction, is also very tacit understanding with Valencia's passing.
Seeing Rooney's lateral running, he must receive a pass from Valencia in the absolute void of the penalty area and have absolute space to hit the goal.
Yang Feng, step forward again at the critical moment!
"Yang Feng! My God! Magical ability to predict!"
"When passing the ball in Valencia, Yang Feng also followed Rooney to complete the lateral running direction change, and then suddenly chose to kneel and stretch out his left leg, forcibly hitting the ground through this time!"
"Yang Feng stabbed this ball and changed its direction."
"Scott's turn back to defense is also very quick, a big foot completed the rescue, Liverpool's defense crisis this time, it can be regarded as over!"
The Liverpool players who came back on defense were also terrified for Manchester United's quick counterattack just now.
Fortunately, this time, relying on Yang Feng's excellent judgment, he successfully completed the defense.
Everyone expressed their affirmation to Yang Feng while doing other defensive work on the defensive end to limit Manchester United's next attack...
In a battle like the Double Red Club, the players of the two teams were bayoneted to fight each other from the very beginning. For the two teams, in the game, there is rarely such a large period of breathing time to recover their physical fitness, so in the game In the final stage of the project, everyone actually had more than enough energy.
In the last moments, although Liverpool wanted to win the game at home, it had to admit that at this time, only many players who were physically weakened could defend to the maximum in the backcourt, while allowing players with physical fitness Go offensively and give it a go!
Although it would be better to go to Old Trafford for the second round in the event of a tie, it is definitely better than losing the game directly at home.
For many Liverpool players, they have experienced the thrilling counterattack just now from Manchester United. At this time, it is definitely right to defend well first.
With the Liverpool players retreating first, Manchester United's players had some morale and began to "recover lost ground".
Liverpool retreated and Manchester United moved in. In the case of Liverpool's stability, some Manchester United players have tried to launch an attack at the end to see if they can steal one.
Not only the red-eyed Manchester United veteran Giggs but also Scholes, including midfielders such as Carrick who take on defensive tasks, have begun to become more inclined after losing the defenders they need to guard. Before, more closely involved in the team's offense.
As for the Manchester United players' "getting an inch", Yang Feng, who is at the back of the defense, has been watching and carefully observing the Manchester United players' positions.
Manchester United's offense, also due to the physical reasons of the players, has fallen into a state of stagnation. However, Manchester United is still constantly trying, hoping to create more opportunities.
Even if it is a badly positioned long shot, it is possible to score a goal after trying. In case any long shot hits the world wave, anyway, there are only those two people left in the front field of Liverpool. Manchester United midfielder has an absolute advantage in numbers. Under the circumstances, do not worry about what big waves Liverpool can make.
With Manchester United's long-range direct anti-aircraft gun, Reina serves the goal kick!
The team suddenly increased defense, but was suppressed instead. Reina didn't directly open the big foot this time, but shortly passed to Yang Feng, wanting to allow the team to use the ball in the midfield to regain control of the rhythm of the game!
And Yang Feng, after receiving Reina's pass, did not play the ball the first time, but started to move forward with the ball.
Yang Feng decided to be self-willed once and finish the thoughts in his mind before.
"Yang Feng takes the ball forward!"
"Faced with Rooney's push, Yang Summit chose..."
"Long pass!"
"Yang Feng made a long pass directly in the backcourt before Rooney's top grab ~lightnovelpub.net~!"
It stands to reason that a long pass that does not go through the midfield and goes directly to the backcourt will basically be destroyed by the defensive player when the opponent has an obvious advantage in the defensive half.
However, Yang Feng's passing angle is extremely tricky, and the long passing skills he trained at Chelsea at the beginning are perfectly displayed at this time!
Yang Feng passed the ball with sufficient force to make the ball fast, and did not leave much reaction time for the Manchester United players.
The landing point was extremely tricky, directly behind Carrick, who was supposed to cover the defensive midfield area, and in front of the Manchester United defender line.
Although Carrick kept backing up after discovering Yang Feng's long pass, he still couldn't reach the ball's landing spot.
The long pass fell behind Carrick and bounced back high. With no one to grab the first landing, it bounced to the right of Manchester United's penalty area.
"Kuyt!"
"Get out on the right!"
"Yang Feng's long pass bounced directly in the direction of Kuyt's advance."
Because of Yang Feng’s signal before, Suarez got Yang Feng before and pulled the instructions to the left. Suarez and Carol kept to the left, naturally tilting the entire Manchester United defense to the left, and now, next to Kuyt , Evra is alone!
"Kuyt shoulders strength!"
"King opened Evra!"
"No too much adjustment!"
"Volley directly on the right side of the penalty area, volley!"
"This ball!"
"In!"
"Goal scored! Kuyt! Killed Manchester United!"
"In the 87th minute of the game! Kuyt received a backcourt pass from Yang Feng and volleyed directly from the Manchester United penalty area. He changed the score to 2 to 1 for Liverpool!"
