Football’s First Defender

Chapter 440: A strong line of defense

   In this double-red game, although Liverpool is at Anfield, as far as the current stage of the field is concerned, except for a 1-0 lead, Liverpool did not play the team's previous suppressing power at home.

   The two sides are almost in a balanced situation on the court and have certain offensive opportunities, but it is not an easy task to create an excellent shot opportunity.

   This time a corner kick.

   Ashley Young is in charge of the main game.

Manchester United’s players in the penalty area used a scattered position and did not give Liverpool a chance to guard the area in front of the goal. No one knows that the Manchester United players will be dispersed at the moment the ball is sent. Grab the point.

   When Ashley Young approached, Manchester United players also ran in all directions, which interfered with Liverpool's marking in the penalty area.

   Ashley Young finally chose to take a very low half-high ball, directly looking for the area that was pointed forward. First release https://https://

   Ferdinand is the outflanking point before Manchester United.

   It's just that, in the case of extremely fast passing, the front point is too close to the corner flag area, resulting in insufficient reaction time for Ferdinand.

   Ferdinand hurriedly hurried, but he was still one step away and made a sweeping shot to hit the goal, but the ball was missed.

   This half-high ball from the forward point has already dropped to the ground at the forward point, and after landing and rebounding, it continues forward.

   Welbeck in front of the middle goal wanted to grab a shot, but in the penalty area, under the push and pull of the Liverpool players, Welbeck did not hit the goal.

The players in the penalty area on both sides were swayed by Welbeck's posture, especially Henderson, who came from behind, faced the ball that Welbeck had missed. He wanted to intercept but was directly caught by the ball. Passed through the crotch and flew to the back point again.

   Only one Manchester United player was left behind, and that was Manchester United’s biggest penalty area killer, General Fan Persie.

   Van Persie wanted to complete Welbeck's "shot" because of the previous forward rush. When the ball bounced back, it was actually behind Van Persie.

   But this kind of ball can't beat Van Persie's. It only needs a "dragon tail swinging" to create a chance to hit the goal.

   Van Persie half-turned to adjust, quickly finished his preparations, and directly swung his legs back and forth.

   hit the door!

   But the ball was not shot out.

   Van Persie's reaction was quick, and Yang Feng's reaction was not slow. As the central defender who was responsible for guarding against Persie in this game, Yang Feng maintained the maximum concentration and tried not to give Van Persie a chance.

   A horizontal leg extension intercepted, and Yang Feng stretched his leg directly near Van Persie’s shooting foot, completing this blockade.

   The ball bounced and bounced again, but it had been slowed down. The players in the Liverpool penalty area who had reacted quickly cleared the siege.

  Scotter quickly pulled up the fallen Yang Feng, and even if the ball is still under the control of Manchester United's periphery, it does not hinder the Liverpool fans and applauds the excellent defensive performance of their "Papa Yang Feng".

   Van Persie was very helpless. An excellent opportunity in front of the goal, an unexpected ball, and his fastest shooting method, could still be blocked. How do you play this?

   In this game, not only is Yang Feng's outstanding performance, the team's midfield area, able to achieve excellent defensive limits, is the reason why Yang Feng can concentrate on van Persie.

   Lucas's defense needless to say, although it may be compared with the top European "black and hard" midfielder, his defense is still a little worse.

   But in terms of position selection and running ability, Lucas is still a qualified starting midfielder.

   And today, the old captain Gerrard's "desired" running in the "Double Red Club" is also an important reason for Liverpool's excellent defense in the midfield.

   In the first half of the game, in the middle of the game, Manchester United relied on two fast-paced passes to get a certain breakthrough in the midfield.

   When the Manchester United players broke through the tight defense of Liverpool's midfield, they wanted to rush forward and get into the penalty area to create scoring opportunities.

   Gerrard can always appear in a key position, relying on excellent defense to complete the protection of the defense.

   Giggs first sent a beautiful through ball in the midfield area and slid the ball directly into a small gap in Liverpool's midfield.

   Welbeck played his speed advantage in the middle, interspersed diagonally, received a through ball from Giggs, and then led the ball directly forward.

With the Liverpool defender close to the penalty area, Welbeck used his speed to get rid of the free dribbling of all defenders and chose to slow down, waiting for other teammates to intersperse, but also wanted to find opportunities to do his own actions. , And see if we can create opportunities to hit the door.

   It's just that Welbeck's hesitation gave Gerald a chance to chase him after him.

   Gerrard was behind the side, chasing at full speed, and a sliding shovel directly behind the side, firmly and firmly removed the football under Welbeck's feet, kicked the ball out, and Welbeck's hesitation paid the price.

Only one minute later, Manchester United's offensive came back from the left. Evra, under Henderson's pressure, still sent a through pass on the left to Ashley Young, who was in front of him, and Professor Yang. A kick out of the ball, a pad diagonally to the rear, just passed a comfortable advance in front of Evra.

  Evra accelerated forward diagonally, not only completely got rid of Henderson, who could not turn around, but even inserted before his sudden acceleration, Liverpool

   Defensive players in the midfield area do not even have a chance to defend in the front.

At this time, against Evra’s full-speed dribbling forward, on the defensive end, it was still the lateral Gerrard's diagonal grab ~lightnovelpub.net~ to accurately select the position, and in the process of Evra's fast dribbling In the middle, it is another diagonal sliding tackle that takes the ball and directly intercepts it. Starting

   Evra still fell to the ground and complained to the referee, but the referee thought that the ball was intercepted by the football first, and it was not a foul.

Although it is impossible for the veteran Gerrard to fly all over the court and do his due diligence on the defensive end, he can also give full play to his game experience. In the game, at critical moments, he can help the team's defense. Own contribution.

With Lucas’ sweeping defense and Liverpool’s excellent back line’s close defense, after limiting the majority of Manchester United’s offense, with Gerrard’s appropriate defensive experience, Liverpool’s bronze wall and iron wall, Although it will not completely lock up all of Manchester United's offense, it also prevents Manchester United from getting better offensive opportunities so easily.

   Both players, such a fierce midfield fight in the first half of the first half, naturally consumed a lot of players' physical energy, and Liverpool made a more retracted defensive tactical adjustment first.

   Use a more retreat defense to further reduce the space that can be used by Manchester United players to make up for the lack of running after the decline in physical fitness.

   And Manchester United finally got the initiative they wanted, but in a situation where the team is one goal behind and the team needs to attack, can the players' physical fitness support the back and forth defense after the attack?

   This is something that Moyes needs to make a choice. At this time, he will launch a full-scale attack, whether he is the first to break the copper wall of Liverpool, or Liverpool’s counterattack, which can create a threat first?
