Football’s First Defender
Chapter 442: Valencia
The first half of the game ended shortly after Van Persie received a yellow card.
With Sturridge's goals in three consecutive games, Liverpool temporarily led 1-0.
Before that, Sturridge was constantly scoring goals, and then Yang Feng was leading the defense, clearing Manchester United's offensive threat time and time again.
Liverpool's excellent performance on both ends of the offense and defense gave the team a victory in the half.
Moyes, who is under the pressure of winning the game, certainly doesn't want to lose to Liverpool on the road.
Although Phil Jones' ability to pass the ball on the right side is pretty good, after all, Phil Jones is not a speedy full-back. He has limited participation in the offense, and more often chooses to be near the midfield. Pass to find a point in the restricted area.
In order to make Manchester United's offense more oppressive and to allow the team to make quite good progress from the left and right sides, Moyes sent Valencia to the field at the beginning of the second half to play the position of right back.
Valencia, a winger, has his speed and ability to attack independently, which is definitely a huge improvement for Manchester United's right side.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Manchester United began to focus on two wingers.
Ashley Young’s position on the left side, although unable to get rid of Glen Johnson’s defense, can still get a certain amount of space for the ball from the side by adjusting the rhythm, but the location of the ball is not as good as that. People are willing to not pose too much threat to Liverpool, which has assembled heavily in the penalty area.
Although Liverpool's rescue was later, the midfielder Carrick, who was pressured by Manchester United, got it and was immediately assigned to Valencia on the right.
Valencia made an excellent curve pass to the front and back of the goal area, but it was still too difficult for Ashley Young to compete with Glen Johnson for the landing.
Glen Johnson stuck in the position, headed directly out of the baseline and gave Manchester United a corner kick.
After Professor Yang's corner kick, the force of the ball was too great, and it fell directly into the empty area behind the big penalty area, flying out of the bottom line, without causing any threat.
Since coming to Manchester United, Ashley Young has only 1 goal and 2 assists in 26 games, which is quite inferior to Villa.
Compared to Ashley Young's limited play in this game, Valencia, who just played in the second half, was extremely active.
His position on the right, using his abundant physical energy, on the offensive end like a right winger to penetrate into Liverpool's core defensive area.
With Valencia's forward penetration, an offensive player appeared on the right flank compared to Phil Jones in the first half, posing a considerable offensive threat to Liverpool's defense.
Valencia's offensive characteristics, although the main impact is the sideline, but the internal cut according to the situation can sometimes cause a good offensive threat.
Valencia broke into Liverpool's core defensive area alone on the right. Although facing the defense of Jose Enrique and Coutinho, Valencia was in danger and still dared to make moves.
Even though Enrique tried to cut inside and was cut off by Enrique, Valencia immediately turned to actively counter-robbing himself. When Enrique tried to make a clearance, he successfully blocked Enrique’s passing route and blocked the ball. Large restricted area arc area.
Van Persie caught this unexpected ball in the penalty area and volleyed his leg directly. Fortunately, Yang Feng's attention was always maintained. He used his leg to block the long shot and hit the goal. No unexpected factors changed the court. The results on the.
Compared to Valencia on the right, Ashley Young's state in the second half was really bad.
It was another powerful corner kick that was passed backwards. Fortunately, this time Carrick reacted fast enough and he retreated and barely received the football when the ball went out of the baseline.
Facing Enrique's grab, Carrick kicked the ball directly on Enrique's body, bounced out of bounds, and won a corner kick for Manchester United on the right.
The corner kick from Giggs's side is obviously more threatening.
A curved ball went directly to the corner of the penalty area. Yang Feng and Ferdinand fought for the spot at the same time. Under the power of the two headers, Yang Feng was more accurate because of jumping higher. Top the ball first.
However, with Ferdinand's header, the final goal of the ball was finally within the penalty area under the force of the two.
Skrtel faced the second drop point and immediately shook his head to push the ball out of the penalty area.
It's just that the header didn't have any strength in the rush to clear the siege, and a half-high ball flew to the top of the penalty area.
Valencia, who has been in this empty area, directly volleyed and hit the goal in the face of this incoming ball, and the quality was quite high.
Mignolet directly fell to the ground and pounced sideways, but the football was not missed. The second reaction was also not slow. Yang Feng first used his body to block the outside of the foot and fired, so that Mignolet had no ball to defend. ...
The ball is not out of bounds. Under Liverpool's control, Liverpool will also use a period of possession of the ball to slow down the rhythm of the game.
Valencia's presence has not only made Manchester United's right-sided attack alive, it may even drive the entire Manchester United offensive system.
This is not good news for Rogers, and we must find a way to stop the opening of the opponent's side.
Valencia's offense seemed unstoppable.
As Manchester United’s attack on Professor Yang’s side on the left did not improve, by passing back to the backcourt, Carrick, who was responsible for sorting the ball from Manchester United, handed the ball back to the wing duo on the right.
After Valencia dribbled the ball and met the defense, he directly handed the ball to Giggs who was on the side ~lightnovelpub.net~ and he ran forward without the ball.
Giggs accurately sent a through ball through Liverpool's two-man defense line, and the ball passed first. Valencia, who followed the ball's route, broke through from Liverpool's two-man defense line at full speed.
The speed of Enrique and Gerrard was overwhelmed by Valencia.
Although in the end this ball, because Giggs had too much power through the ball, Valencia had already entered the Liverpool penalty area and was close to the baseline when he chased the ball.
This gave Yang Feng enough reaction time to make up for it.
During the high-speed running, Valencia tried his best to reach the football and wanted to complete a pass, but in order to avoid Yang Feng's block, this difficult pass was still unsuccessful and was kicked by Valencia himself. Out of the bottom line.
Although the Manchester United attack this time has not been converted into a shooting threat, Manchester United's right-sided attack has become irresistible.
Valencia alone completely tore apart the entire left defense of Liverpool.
Rogers has no way to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. He needs to change to return the team's wing defense to a stable situation.
