Football’s First Defender
Chapter 374: Downing's pessimism
This is the giants duel, this is the Double Red Club.
In most of the matches, Yang Feng showed his excellent anticipation ability when defending the opponent's counterattack.
In everyone's minds, Yang Feng is definitely the world's number one central defender in terms of defensive opponent's counterattack.
There is no well-known central defender who can make such a reasonable judgment in judging the location, choosing a position, and making defensive decisions like Yang Feng did, without any mistakes.
And the title of "cooking master" is also spread like wildfire. In the mid-lower team, the dominant defensive performance makes Yang Feng the absolute cornerstone of the team's defense to win. Generally speaking, as long as the team can have a standard offensive end Above the play, the team should have no big problem winning.
However, it is precisely because of Yang Feng's outstanding performance in defending the opponent's counterattack that everyone pays little attention to Yang Feng's defensive ability in positional combat.
Many coaches have begun to focus on the counterattack, avoiding Yang Feng's side to attack. I believe Manchester United, who suffered a lot from Yang Feng's defense, will not take the initiative to touch Yang Feng's hard bones in order to win.
However, in a positional attack, the creation of really good opportunities is not so much. When opportunities are really created by running and passing, then in order to prevent the opportunity from passing away, of course, it is necessary to pass the ball decisively. At this time, it is not considering whether it is the opponent or who is in charge of the defense.
The most dangerous area, of course, is where the opponent's defense is most concerned. If you want to create a large enough threat in a positional attack, you still have to avoid Yang Feng's defense. This is originally a false proposition.
The creation of two opportunities was originally a good opportunity to fight for the goal, but Yang Feng's excellent position retention and the first blockade made Manchester United's offensive return without success.
Liverpool’s offense is indeed good in terms of statistics. It has been clinging to Manchester United’s core offensive data. Basically, every time Manchester United completes a kick, Liverpool’s side will also turn around and will also brush out a shot data.
However, the degree of threat is not comparable.
In terms of statistics, the two teams have almost the same number of goals, but if you really do a small collection of dangerous offenses, then Manchester United’s offensive round must occupy a considerable proportion.
Liverpool’s offense seems to be in terms of staffing, as well as on the side and in the middle, which is very reasonable, but in terms of cooperation, it is not suitable.
Especially Tangning, who played in the game was a little doubtful of life.
As an excellent wing attacker, he was also selected as the wing "Magic Wing" of the England national team. However, the two seasons in Liverpool made Tangning feel extremely depressed.
In the second half of last season, when Yang Feng came back and was able to complete high-quality defense, Dalglish dared to invest more personnel on the offensive end, Tangning suddenly broke out and got rid of the previous title of "Tang Ling" and started. On the offensive end, dedicated assists and goals.
However, this season, Rogers entered Anfield. Downing, a traditional English wide player, will naturally not be in the eyes of Rogers, who is the main pass control system. He sits on the bench and has few chances to play.
Even though Rogers was seeking change in the recent period, Downing had more playing time, but when there was only one Suarez in the middle, the direct side pass seemed a bit sloppy, and he was banned and wanted to make a breakthrough inside. Under the defense that the opponent had prepared, Tangning couldn't help it.
Without Carol as a support point in the frontcourt, Tangning felt that his talent was half sealed.
instead of being able to pass, but only breaking through the inside cut, Tangning, who was not so agile at his feet, was too difficult for Tangning to successfully break through when the opponent saw in advance.
"Is this the ceiling of my career?"
Self-doubt is terrible. When a player makes his debut, he doesn't give him or her or think that he can be a golden ball, but the reality is cruel.
When Tangning switched to Liverpool, he also wanted to get to the next level in Liverpool, to become the starting left-back of the national team, and to further improve himself.
However, the reality today is that Tangning found that his talents may really not be able to adapt to the rich tactical system of the rich team.
What he can do better is actually the main attack method is to pass from the side, assisted by the bottom breakthrough or internal cut, instead of using breakthrough as the main attack method.
It can be said that Downing’s current technical characteristics are particularly suitable for the Premier League’s mid-range team. The offense is simple and creates opportunities, but it is not suitable for rich teams. This situation requires complex offensive changes.
"Perhaps, leaving is a good choice..."
In this game, Downing faced Manchester United right-back Rafael at every turn. Faced with his weak performance on the field, he was full of pessimism about his future in Liverpool, and also full of pessimism about his future growth. ...
Liverpool’s offense is just like Tangning’s mood at this time, also full of struggle.
"It's another pass error."
"Joe Allen's shot was prejudged by Carrick in advance and the interception was completed. Manchester United's counterattack opportunity."
Liverpool's players back to defense is not unpleasant, but Manchester United's counterattack is faster, and the players' personal counterattack ability is also stronger.
"Carrick made a straight pass and delivered the ball accurately to Cleverly, who was met by the midfielder."
When playing Liverpool, remember not to kill Liverpool with a stick in the counterattack. It is a taboo for the soldiers against Liverpool to pass the ball directly to the front. That will only give Liverpool a greater chance of successfully completing the defense. This is Yang Feng's deterrent.
Take the ground to push back and counterattack, and it has become the advancing line that every team chooses when they counterattack against Liverpool.
Although the speed may be a little slower, the victory is safe.
However, the personal abilities and tactical qualities of the Manchester United players have also ensured the advancement of the ground counterattack, which is actually not that slow.
"Gerard followed Cleverly, but Cleverly's speed is too fast."
"The acceleration dribbling diagonally forward made Gerrard want to foul, and there was no way to commit it for a while."
"Pass, a through ball while traveling, Cleverly passed the ball to Welbeck in front."
Welbeck was in the middle of the run and inserted into the Liverpool penalty area line, between Liverpool centre-back Yang Feng and right-back Visdom.
Cleverly, when passing the ball, he also took into account the possible interference of Yang Feng~lightnovelpub.net~ The pass is closer to the side of Visdom, trying to avoid Yang Feng's possible interception.
Wisdom’s youth made him hesitate to return to defense this time, and he didn't dare to give up. He was about to reach Evra on the side, and the recovery defense was still a little far away from Welbeck. Yang Feng's double double-teaming in his imagination completely blocked Welbeck's idea, which was impossible to complete because of the distance of Wisdom.
"Welbeck, take the ball and lead the ball into the penalty area! Take two steps and shoot with his left foot!"
Weisdom’s hesitation in returning to the defense allowed Welbeck to carry Yang Feng’s defense on the right side of his body and lead the ball forward with his left foot to complete the goal.
This time, Yang Feng’s defense provided the most interference. With Welbeck’s starting speed, Yang Feng, who is on his right, had no chance to complete the first steal. He could only do it in a physical confrontation. , Using his legs to block a certain Welbeck's kick angle.
Fortunately, in the end, the left foot burst shot during the march. Although the shooting power was great, it was also high and did not cause too bad results.
"Vistorm! What are you doing! Just collect it completely! Don't hesitate! Be bold!"
Although it is cruel to put a young man under the age of 20 under such a heavy defensive pressure, in a game like the Double Reds, since the starter, there can be no defensive danger.
It’s too late to teach the young people respectfully. At this time, I have to shout to wake up my teammates and let him know what he should do...
