Football’s First Defender
Chapter 583: The warmth of being an opponent
Barcelona's overall offense, after Suarez's arrival this season, got a qualitative leap.
In the past, Barcelona, although Messi is the team's well-deserved superstar, the debut is the peak, but the real team's offensive core, brain, but the midfielder Xavi and Iniesta two.
On the offensive end, Barcelona really relies on the passing of the world's most creative midfielder, to use the passing ball to tear the opponent's defense line in the game and create opportunities.
When Xavi left on a free transfer and Inesta gradually revealed his old attitude, Barcelona, apart from Messi alone, also need more strong points to join in order to bring the team back to its peak state, rather than like It was the appearance of Bayern in the Champions League knockout game in the previous two years. Messi’s ability to dribble the ball flexibly in the midfield, Neymar’s strong offensive ability on the wing, and Suarez’s comprehensive offensive ability when the new transfer came, when the MSN combination was established, it now makes Barcelona, although still a pass-and-control team, but the real killer moves are completely different from the previous offensive play.
MSN's three people work together to defeat any opponent's defense line in front of them, no matter who the opponent is, no matter what kind of iron bucket formation the opponent puts.
Barcelona will still have a lot of ball-handling links, but the real killer move is no longer a fascinating continuous pass, but a striker, showing excellent personal ability. No longer the pass leader, the forward only needs to move and wait for the ball, but to pass the ball to a certain area, relying on the player's strong personal strength to obtain the ball and create an offensive threat.
In the face of Barcelona's strong attack at home, for Liverpool's defense, in the game, the most reliant on is definitely the player's ability to confront.
Although Liverpool in the usual Premier League games, rely on their own team's technical ability, and pass and control tactics.
But in the face of Barcelona, a world-class football tactical system that has maintained its control throughout the year, Liverpool is clearly at a disadvantage in the technical field.
Today's Liverpool, when arranging defenses, can only do the same as those midstream and downstream opponents in the league, try to give full play to their own advantages in physical confrontation to make up for their lack of flexibility. "Everyone pays attention to my position, don't cross my horizontal line, our line of defense, there can be no problems of incoordination."
From the beginning of the game, Yang Feng has been constantly emphasizing the overall coordination of the team. In an away game, Liverpool cannot have any flaws in the defense.
Especially when the defense line moves forward as a whole, there must be no problems. If you fail to make an offside, it is entirely possible that Barcelona will be caught.
We must know that although Barcelona does not have the top passers of the peak period, Barcelona is not bad for money. Now the passing ability of the players in the team is not bad. Any opportunity, as long as Liverpool dare to expose it, it is possible to let Barcelona gave Liverpool a fatal blow.
And Barcelona has maintained this fast-paced offensive and defensive rhythm since the beginning of the game, which could have caused great defensive pressure on Liverpool.
After all, this is the Nou Camp, facing Barcelona, which has maintained its top level in Europe in recent years and is famous for attacking.
In the constant frontcourt oppressive attack, Liverpool's five-back defense will inevitably still have some unacceptable cooperation.
Yang Feng should have been Liverpool’s defensive line, but other defenders will inevitably focus too much on marking their defenders and ignore Yang Feng’s position. This kind of short-term problem of ununified positions may be possible. Was Barcelona's top passer and found a chance.
Rakitic's ball in the front court accurately grasped such an opportunity.
With Neymar and Messi, the two superstars, one on the left and the other, involved a lot of Liverpool defensive players' energy, Rakitic suddenly picked the ball forward, taking advantage of the Liverpool defense, Lovren’s position A slightly later chance, Suarez succeeded against offside and went straight into Liverpool's penalty area.
At first, Yang Feng thought that the ball would be a successful offside trap, but for the first time, without hearing the whistle sound, Yang Feng knew that something was wrong.
Now is not the time to pursue the blame, Yang Feng immediately chased him back, but he knew how hard Suarez's shot was, and he definitely couldn't let him have enough room to adjust his shot.
Because Rakitic's picking pass position is too deep, Suarez needs to run two more steps to catch the ball, which gives Yang Feng room to chase.
When the ball first landed and bounced forward, Suarez chased forward and was ready to adjust his step point to directly complete the volley goal. Yang Feng, who came from the side, collided with a body and knocked Suarez directly to the ground.
"Suarez! Falling into the penalty area, do you have a kick?"
"Rizzoli shook his head without saying that Yang Feng caught up with the football and cleared the ball out of the sideline with one kick!"
For this ball, the referee Rizzoli did not blow the whistle, even though Suarez fell to the ground exaggeratedly ~lightnovelpub.net~ but Rizzoli did not agree that this was an illegal collision.
The slow motion also showed that Yang Feng's collision force may be very large, but it was just a normal card position, collision, no pushing movement of his arms, and no obvious forward leaning of his body, which did not constitute an invasion of the attacker.
Suarez's fall, on the one hand, is due to the large difference in physical resistance with Yang Feng, on the other hand, it may also have its own acting elements.
After all, Suarez will "dive" and has deceived many referees, so that the referees who have Suarez's game are now cautious about penalties made by Suarez.
Sitting on the ground, Suarez, who kept reaching out to the referee to complain about no results, was finally hit by Yang Feng, who was knocked to the ground by his opponent, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
On the field is the opponent, off the field is the friend.
Yang Feng and Suarez, the two players who came to Liverpool at the same time, are not only the two core players of Liverpool's great revival last season, but also very good friends.
Even though the media hoped to lead each other before the game, Suarez still had no bad words for Liverpool and Yang Feng. Everyone paid attention to the game itself, not any off-field gimmicks.
This also makes, although outside the arena, among the fans, and in the media, the swords are drawn.
However, in the game, Suarez and the Liverpool team did not have any friction.
Although on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals, the two sides will not meet each other with smiles in order to advance, but there is absolutely no rivalry. Yang Feng helped Suarez's lens and was also given a huge close-up by the on-site camera.
Perhaps this is a short time for Liverpool. The two best players on the front and the back are rare photos of opponents...
