Football’s First Defender

Chapter 631: New challenge

   Klopp is a coach who admires offense in his bones, otherwise he would not lead it. The Hornet that shocked the European arena made Dortmund play a good-looking "youth storm" all year round.

   For the understanding of offense, although in Klopp's tactical concept, it is not as good as the Barcelona passing team, pursuing the extreme, including the goalkeeper into the passing control system.

   But in the offensive exploration in other positions, Klopp still has to do the ultimate offensive exploration.

Needless to say, the position of full-back.

  In the tactical concept of modern football, in fact, the value of offensive end ability to the full back is more important than the defensive end.

   You don’t see in the transfer market, are all the full-backs with excellent offensive ability valuable?

   It is very difficult for a team to have a world-class attacking power like Real Madrid in two full-back positions.

   That not only needs money, but also needs the transfer department to be able to identify potential players in advance.

  Because when the full-back is really worthy, especially when he is a full-back, he can't dig if he wants to.

   Marcelo, Carvajal, and even Cohentron on the bench are all in Real Madrid's lineup early on. In terms of personnel reserves, Real Madrid is also willing to "spend money".

   For the players in their youth training system, they would rather pay for the transfer fee, but also rent it out, prepare to play and then recycle it in the future, or sell the player at a lower price, and then set a priority purchase option in the contract.

  As for players like Marcelo, when he was young, Real Madrid was optimistic about his potential, bought it directly at a high price, and grew up in the first team.

   Although there are some people who can't be played, Real Madrid has spent the wrong money, but as far as the final return is concerned, at least Real Madrid has never been short of people in the position of full back.

   For Klopp, simply being at the full-back position is actually very envious of Real Madrid's reserves.

   If you have a Marcelo in your hand, wouldn't all the problems be solved?

   When Klopp took over Liverpool, it was probably that the three positions of full-back and goalkeeper were not to his liking.

In Klopp’s heart, the players in these three positions are barely usable, but they are definitely not the best option in Klopp’s eyes. If there are suitable players in the transfer market, Klopp will definitely give priority to These three positions are staffed.

   In terms of goalkeeper, Mignolet made a lot of mistakes this season. In addition, as a goalkeeper with a goal-line type, Miliole has a very prominent problem of too small defensive range in the development of current professional league tactics.

   Although Klopp does not require Mignolet to have excellent passing ability, but the goalkeeper's ability to attack is weak. This is a huge weakening of the backcourt defense after Klopp requires high pressure in the frontcourt.

   That is to say, Liverpool has Yang Feng with a large defensive range, and the central defender who judges the position accurately protects in front of him, so that Mignolet's weaknesses are not fully revealed.

   But if the goalkeeper's defensive range can be expanded, it will be a huge supplement to the defense of Yang Feng and others, and Yang Feng can also share more defensive energy in the front.

   Although the first game was repressively won, the weaknesses of the starting two full-backs, Moreno and Klein are still very obvious.

  Novic is just a limited player, unable to target Liverpool's two full-backs.

   But Moreno's body is weak, as well as Klein's "reckless" weakness in the upper grab. When facing a stronger opponent, Klopp is very worried about whether the team's two wings can be secured.

   It's just that these positions are now scarce talents in football. Really good players are "stray" to the transfer market, and they are all high-priced, and they are snatched by many giants.

   Klopp is now in these positions, in order to quickly find players to add, he can only find some non-hot players, or look for players from Liverpool's own youth training system.

   For the highly competitive Premier League, if you want to stabilize your defense in a strong matchup, you can only control the offensive level of the full-back, but this is also a lot of loss for the entire team's offensive construction.

  How to decide whether to let full-back players participate in offense or defense.

   Klopp was still entangled, how to use the existing lineup to play a strong match.

   is the main attack to implement mutual damage, or the main defense, sacrificing a certain amount of offensive ability from the side.

   But now, Yang Feng's stable long passing ability was suddenly discovered in the game, allowing Klopp to find a better solution.

   In the final analysis, if the full-back wants to take into account the defensive situation, he can only go forward at most and make sure that someone stays behind.

   Then it will actually make Liverpool’s frontcourt attack line appear to have fewer players, which will affect Liverpool’s offensive waves.

But if as a central defender, Yang Feng, who didn't appear in positional battles in the past, can be more advanced, even if he is five to ten meters ahead, he can rely on his long passing ability to act as an organizational midfielder. if.

   Then, with Yang Feng in the rear for pass scheduling, Liverpool's midfielder can completely save a candidate for personnel scheduling in the center.

In fact, among Klopp’s own three midfielders, Henderson and Milner, who were behind, were not so good at long pass scheduling. Both of them can use their physical ability to run and effectively Practice and farm workers are players who are good at finding opportunities.

   It’s just that for the overall offensive effect of the team, the center still needs to retain people for simple ball handling and transfer scheduling.

   also makes Henderson and Milner, can only take turns to attack, unable to create threats at the same time.

   This is actually a waste of offensive resources.

Now ~lightnovelpub.net~ If Yang Feng can complete the past defensive tasks on the defensive end as a central defender, but form an organizational midfielder on the offensive end to be responsible for the team's pass scheduling, then for Liverpool's offense Help will be great.

   This can liberate Henderson and Milner's overall offensive ability at the same time, in fact, it changes direction to make up for the weakening of the full-back forward.

   Even when the game situation is not conducive to Liverpool, when the team needs to attack, Yang Feng is involved in the attack, and the two full-backs break out at the same time, and Liverpool's strength limit on the offensive end will be further improved.

   Of course, renovating Yang Feng's location is definitely not an overnight thing.

   Playing central defender on defense and midfielder on offense is not only a change of position, but also a test of the player's stability and ability to handle the ball.

   You need to know that if Yang Feng advances his position slightly for the team's better offense, even if it is only 5 to 10 meters, but the pressure of the opponent's defensive pressing is completely different from when he receives the ball in the midfield.

Moreover, unlike previous games, only occasionally sending long passes on the counter-attack. In the game, to play the role of Klopp's expected midfielder, then it is necessary to continuously send high-quality, stable long passes. For Yang Feng, this is also something he has not tried in previous games.

   Under the considerable defensive pressure of the opponent, he must quickly complete the long pass transfer after receiving the ball, and he must be extremely precise on the landing point, and perform all this in a position that he is not familiar with.

   For Yang Feng, this is indeed a considerable challenge.

   "But! Challenges are fun, right?"
