Football’s First Defender

Chapter 456: Consecutive wins

Sturridge’s offensive efficiency of one goal per game has been surprisingly effective so far in the new season. As a result, Suarez scored twice in each of the three games after his comeback. Too many balls.

If you say that Sunderland is the "deputy squad leader" of the Premier League and there are problems with offense and defense, it is understandable, then the strength of last season's Premier League champions Manchester United and Ligue 1 powerhouse Marseille should be very objective.

As a result, Suarez could not matter who his opponent was, he scored two goals, successfully used three games, and almost recovered the number of goals in the missing game.

And now, after Liverpool's return of Suarez, the team's already strong striker strength has been further improved, and Liverpool's terrorist attacking firepower is now showing, so that all opponents after Liverpool must be treated with care.

Now the biggest limiting factor for Liverpool's performance may only be the physical fitness of the players.

After playing Sunderland in the league, Liverpool started a week-long double-match mode, in midweek against the UEFA Champions League group stage second opponent, last season's Serie A runner-up Naples.

At the beginning of the season, Liverpool, which set a goal to at least score in the knockout rounds, dared to rotate a few players against Marseille, who had lost personnel in the summer, in this death group match. However, in the first Champions League home game, against Naples, it was To be the main force to fight.

In the face of visiting Serie A powerhouses, Naples, which has risen in recent seasons, this should have been predicted as a head-to-head match, but at Anfield Stadium, the expected "big ball game" was not played.

In this "attack battle", Liverpool sits on the advantage of the home court, not only occupying an advantage in the offense, but also using their team's better defensive system to excellently limit Naples' offense.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool did not launch an attack too aggressively at home. The team mainly controlled the ball and controlled the rhythm of the game. They did not fight against Naples at home, which prevented Naples from playing the fast pace that he is best at. Offense and defense.

This is like a game of lol. Originally, both teams were good at fighting, but today Liverpool switched to operations in order to prevent Naples from having a chance to "fight a team fight" and then open five or five. He survived Naples to death.

Counter attack? nonexistent.

Liverpool do not need to attack, but can also create a certain offensive opportunity. It only needs to lower a certain offensive and defensive rhythm, do a good job in their own defense, make themselves invincible, and then create their own offensive opportunities.

Liverpool's control of the ball has always occupied the initiative in the offense. Naples players can only be exhausted in the midfield defense in away games, and they cannot organize their own effective offense.

As the heroic coach of Liverpool, Benitez now leads Naples away to challenge Liverpool. Liverpool fans still gave Benitez considerable applause and encouragement before the game.

It's just friends off the court and opponents on the court.

When the game officially begins, Liverpool fans will not take into account the past love points.

For the current disciples of Benitez, there is no very good voice. Whenever the Naples players finally grab the ball, it is the Kop who started to boo, causing great psychological pressure on the opponent. .

"This is Anfield!"

This is a very strong home of the Devil even though Liverpool have had a sinking period, not to mention that Liverpool is now in the heyday of recovery.

All the Naples players felt tremendous psychological pressure on the away game and played very uncomfortable in the game, and Higuain on the front line felt that he came from Liverpool because of several offensive attempts and failed to create even a shot. Pressure exerted by the line of defense.

"Smoke Gun" This is the first personal defense against Yang Feng. I thought that Serie A is a league rich in central defenders. The defense of Serie A teams should have been top defensive effects in Europe.

And Yang Feng, a central defender who has become famous in the Premier League, although he is a world-class central defender, is not enough for Higuain. Considering his original teammate in Real Madrid, Ramos is also a world-class central defender. Because I feel that Yang Feng is not so invincible on the defensive end.

After all, in a team that advocates offense like the Premier League La Liga, half of the excellent defense is because the ball player's offense is too strong and does not leave much room for the opponent to attack.

However, Higuain himself is in Serie A. Although Serie A does not pursue chain defense as before, it is recognized that Italy is born to defend. Therefore, Higuain thinks that after experiencing the tempering of Serie A, he should not Fear of any defender.

However, in the game, Higuain found himself being restricted by Yang Feng.

I think the reason why Higuain was defeated in the competition with Benzema in Real Madrid is that Higuain is more like a pure center shooter, and cannot be like Benzema, with a better connection. The role of the team's offense.

Regardless of Higuain's shooting skills and his ability to create opportunities, he is definitely one of the top strikers in the world.

However, Yang Feng's personal defense has compressed the space for Higuain to receive the ball to a minimum.

Higuain's ability to compete for the top does not have any advantage in the face of Yang Feng's higher height, better physical confrontation, and better location judgment.

As for other passes from the ground to Higuain, Yang Feng stretched his leg to destroy part of it. Even when Higuain held the ball to attack, Yang Feng would not be swayed and would always do the most reasonable defensive method.

If he can complete the defense with a high probability, he will deal with it alone. If he is not sure, Yang Feng will fight back and give his teammates a chance to support.

It's just that Higuain's chances to get the ball are all outside the penalty area. Yang Feng does not agree to control the ball within the penalty area.

Naples does not have a good opportunity. Although Liverpool has not had as many offensive opportunities as previous games due to restraint of its all-round attack, the ability of Liverpool players to seize opportunities is really strong~lightnovelpub.net~Naples has always been the side defense The team's ills.

Sterling got an excellent space to play today, using his speed to continuously create opportunities on the right.

Naples' side defense line was simply passed through the center by Liverpool, allowing Sterling to fight for speed with his opponent, and it was easily penetrated.

In the 21st minute of the game, Sterling made a successful breakthrough on the right, and directly inserted diagonally into the Naples penalty area. When the opponent's defense line was chaotic, Sterling completed the pass in the reverse triangle. Near the penalty point, Henry in the center. Desen followed up with a push shot and scored the first goal for Liverpool.

In the subsequent games, Liverpool can take the lead and control the game even further.

Naples wanted to rely on offense to get back the score, but under the pressure of Liverpool's tight midfield defense, not only did not score a goal, but in the 37th minute, Sterling shot through the right side when he counterattacked.

This time after Sterling hit the dangerous area on the right, he knocked the ball directly to the back point of the center. Sturridge took a shot from the back point, which expanded the score to 2-0 for Liverpool.

Two goals ahead, Liverpool's victory is unstoppable.

In the subsequent game, Liverpool showed defensive strength at the beginning of the season on the defensive end, and Naples tried to counterattack, which had no effect.

2-0 in the half, it can be regarded as a blow to the heart of the Napoli players.

After all, both teams still have league tasks to follow, and they don't want to delay the weekend league because of a game with almost certain results.

Both sides were in a normal offensive and defensive competition in the second half. Liverpool performed well defensively and kept the score of 2-0 until the end.

Liverpool, which has won consecutively, has returned to the right track.
