Football’s First Defender
Chapter 670: Busy little Schmeichel
Liverpool's offensive repressive power in the opening game allowed the team to get enough offenses and opportunities for goal attempts. In the game scene, from the beginning, it appeared to be extremely beneficial to Liverpool.
It's just that Leicester City, who played away in the game, obviously won't be caught just like that.
They are looking for all opportunities and want to launch a targeted counterattack immediately after successfully completing the defense to attack Liverpool's defense.
It's just that the visiting team's counterattack was in the first 20 minutes, but almost always stayed in the imagination and could not cause a substantial threat.
Liverpool’s crazy frontcourt attack compressed the entire visiting team’s defense in its own half, leaving Leicester City players in a half-court defensive state, and they couldn’t even draw back troops.
In the face of their own backcourt players who have a very clear pass, Vardy and Mahrez will not try to chase the ball in the opponent's half as they did in previous games.
Because everyone knows that when facing Yang Feng's defense, pass the ball, so never take a chance.
When Yang Feng defends this long-distance high-altitude pass, his advantage is too great.
Yang Feng's defensive range and his defense of high-altitude shots made Leicester City's best at brainless counterattacks behind him. Today, certain changes must be made.
For Leicester City, who is extremely good at defensive and counterattacks this season, if you want to defend well, you have to endure the crisis of being pressed and beaten by the opponent.
Liverpool attacked wildly in the opening 20 minutes and achieved a full suppression, but no matter how strong the team is, it is impossible for the players to maintain a high-intensity sports state throughout the game.
After Liverpool attacked for 20 minutes, it was obvious that they began to consciously reduce the pace of the game. After a while, the Liverpool players took the time to catch their breath. During the rest, it was Leicester City that recovered certain possession of the ball and launched the attack. crucial moment.
Although Leicester City organized two offenses in the past few minutes, they did not create even one opportunity to threaten the goal.
But Leicester City used such a short-term offensive impact in the game to show their own attitude, that is, their team is not the kind of fish belly without resistance.
After 25 minutes of the first half of the game, it really entered the fierce competition.
On the one hand, the Liverpool players, although after a short respite, eased their previous fatigue. But after all, a lot of physical energy has been consumed. Later in the game, when Liverpool relaunched the attack, the players' physical fitness would be limited, and offensive errors would occur, and the counter-robbing was not timely after the attack.
On the other hand, when Liverpool’s offense is completed, the visiting team will have a greater chance of completing a counterattack and creating a more threatening counterattack. However, the visiting team that counterattacks will certainly not be able to maintain its own strength. The stability of the barrel formation has also changed the direction to give Liverpool more attacking space.
The strength gap between the two sides will be further narrowed when the physical strength is not sufficient. Everyone has the opportunity, and everyone is likely to take the lead in breaking through on the offensive end.
In the 27th minute of the game, Liverpool once again created an excellent attack opportunity in the frontcourt.
During the counterattack after successful defense, in order to avoid the high-altitude ball being intercepted by Yang Feng, the visiting team could only use the ground to counterattack.
But during the ground advancing process, Kanter's long-range pass was intercepted by Henderson, who was shot in the midfield area, diagonally.
Henderson kept the ball, directly following the incoming ball in the midfield, kicking the ball to the right side of the away team's penalty area.
Close to the horizontal position of the penalty area line, Henderson's passing skill of this ball controls the ball's drop point very well, so that Schmeichel has no chance to strike such a long distance to complete the clearance.
And Lallana, who was still pressing and defending on the frontcourt before, directly attacked the opponent's penalty area with all his strength.
Lallana is not good at absolute speed, but when facing the defender Hut who is chasing back at Leicester City, Lallana is very fast.
Lallana took the lead and hit the penalty area. After unloading the ball directly, he continued to move forward without slowing down, and he did not give Hut a chance to defend, who was desperately chasing.
After completing the self-adjustment in a quick lap, Lallana completed a burst shot directly on the right.
"This ball! Hit it!"
"Little Schmeichel! Another contribution!"
"In slow motion, Lallana's shot has been very well controlled this time. The speed of the ball is extremely fast, and the angle is extremely difficult, hitting the position near the post."
"But Schmeichel was a subconscious save. After the jump, he opened his body as much as possible to increase his defensive area. This time his thigh blocked Lallana's wonderful kick and gave Liverpool another shot. The goal must be rejected."
Schmeichel made another wonderful save in the first half of the game. He pulled the basket and blocked the goal again, fully demonstrating the strength of the "first thigh" of Leicester City's defense~www.mtlnovel. After com~ minutes, Liverpool’s offensive came back. Lallana's continuous breakthrough from the right position in the center attracted a large number of away defenders to lean to this side. Then Lallana suddenly crossed to the center and followed up in the center. It was Henderson who took advantage of the temporary gap in the opponent's mid lane. Before the visiting team's defense arrived, Henderson kept the ball and finished a long shot directly from a distance.
It was another long shot that hit the goal. The ball was very fast, and there was a falling track during the flight. It was only Schmeichel who fell to the ground in the end and hit the ball with a single punch. Once again rejected Liverpool's excellent long-range shot, and continued to defend so that Liverpool could not score even a goal.
Schmeichel, became the brightest star at Anfield in the first half of the game. With his excellent goal line defense ability, he defeated a team alone.
At least in the first half, Schmeichel did it.
Throughout the first half of the game, in the face of Liverpool's extremely repressive offensive performance, in the first half, Liverpool blasted 10 shots and completed 7 shots, but it is a complete achievement for Schmeichel.
It was high in front of the goal, as if it were open, and he shot all Liverpool's goal, completed all the saves, and blocked it out.
Especially before the end of the first half, when Liverpool used the corner kick tactics, Yang Feng completed two headers in the penalty area in a series of corner kicks, but they were all blocked by Schmeichel’s reaction. , So that Yang Feng thought it was necessary to score the opportunity.
One person is a line of defense, Schmeichel confirmed this sentence in the first half...
