The Ball at Your Feet
~: 685th quarter midfield confrontation
After all, Zhao Yaning knows enough about Manchester United. He knows very well that the weakness of Manchester United is that the position of the midfielder is not good enough. When attacking, the most important thing to do is to fight for absolute control of the midfielder.
Of course, this is difficult. After all, Manchester United is not a weak team. Their midfielder is now a combination of Fletcher and Kompany, and the hardness is also quite good. Moreover, with Giggs on the sidelines to help, sorting out the midfield, their midfield rhythm, it's not completely at a disadvantage.
What's more, Manchester United's current tactics were originally focused on defense and quick counterattacks, rather than midfield oppression. Therefore, their weaknesses in this position are not very obvious when they encounter an average team. However, their midfielder still has a big problem after all. If it weren't, they would not have met Arsenal twice, and they would be pierced by Arsenal and played extremely embarrassed.
Although Manchester United has established a very stable tactic and excellent formation, they still have not completely completed the reconstruction. However, Arsenal's malaise, coupled with Chelsea's continued decline, make them now Liverpool's biggest rivals. Their offensive and defensive ends still have problems that have not been resolved. Such Manchester United, Zhao Yaning is still confident to defeat them.
The breakthrough point Zhao Yaning chose this time was the midfielder Kompany.
In Manchester United's double midfielder, Fletcher is actually even weaker than Kompany. After all, Kompany was a well-known player in Europe when he debuted. Although he occupies a small club and is easy to play brilliantly, he has to say that his ability is still much better than Fletcher. After arriving in the Premier League, Ferguson has developed his ability to play both as a defender and as a midfielder. He has first-rate physical fitness and has not suffered too many injuries. He is already a bright star by the media. Compared with Fletcher in three years, he gradually settled on the main position, he played even better.
However, this is also the reason why Zhao Yaning wanted to target him at this point.
In the Premier League, Fletcher has been abused by offensive players of various teams for a long time. Although his defensive ability is slightly weaker, his psychological endurance is still very good. Kompany has just secured his main position this season, and he is also an important figure in Manchester United’s defense. Zhao Yaning estimated that he aimed at this point and played hard. If he is lucky, if he can mess up his mentality, Then, the entire Manchester United line of defense will all be greatly affected.
Of course, in addition to psychological factors, in terms of technical characteristics, Kompany’s defense pays more attention to physical fitness and his good consciousness. In terms of experience and stalking toughness, he is not as good as Fletcher. . After all, players of genius, compared to those who are not valued themselves, naturally have a harder time playing with a shameless and desperate stalker spirit. Compared with guys like Fletcher, Zhao Yaning still prefers to play with Kompany.
At this time, Kompany was also very happy to meet Zhao Yaning. In the past Champions League game, Zhao Yaning's performance made him famous again, and randomly, Arsenal was also beaten by Liverpool. Zhao Yaning has played well against strong teams in two consecutive games, and now it is in full swing, and this also gives Kompany some ideas to play against Zhao Yaning. He wants to weigh Zhao Yaning's weight. Although his teammates were reminding him that if he met Zhao Yaning, his reputation would be discredited if he was a little careless, but even so, he still wanted to face up with Zhao Yaning eagerly.
When Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball inward again, he immediately defended it.
Zhao Yaning watched Kompany come one step away from him, and suddenly accelerated. When Kompany saw it, he was about to decelerate, but Zhao Yaning did not accelerate again, but took it back in one step, and slightly changed his direction toward the side. This made Kompany, who had taken a big step, quickly wanted to keep up. Zhao Yaning accelerated forward again, and Kompany was about to catch up, but he didn't realize that his steps had been taken by Zhao Yaning into chaos. Before he could react, Zhao Yaning hooked the ball back with a kick, and a man in the crotch split the ball and kicked the ball behind him.
Kompany didn't close his foot and fell to the ground. Zhao Yaning's continuous shaking made his footsteps chaotic, and naturally he couldn't defend himself. Although he had long known that Zhao Yaning was difficult to deal with, such a simple shaking was enough to mess up his steps, and it still made him feel a little unbelievable.
There was no acceleration, no drastic change of direction, the steps Zhao Yaning took, in the eyes of Kompany, every time it seemed that he could stop him as long as he worked a little harder. However, what made him disappointed was that every time, his pace was so short, but between successive shaking, so every time it was a short distance, accumulated, it became a great trouble.
"Kompany was knocked to the ground, and Zhao Yaning made a successful breakthrough."
Lineker exclaimed. Zhao Yaning now often has a sense of rhythm and way of dribbling when he knocks people down. Obviously, it is extremely frustrating. An extraordinary master shakes people down by rhythm. Such a thing is naturally the most exciting technical action in the football world.
Fletcher had already rushed over to stop Zhao Yaning at this time. He knows very well that Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough skills have reached a very high level. If you want to rely on your defensive skills to defend his breakthrough step by step, you must have a strong sense of position and go every time. He grabbed his position and didn't follow his rhythm, or he had a very fast foot frequency, one step faster than Zhao Yaning, and he didn't let him take advantage of it.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. If he did the former, he would be Makelele. If he did the latter, his physical fitness was enough to make anyone envy. Generally speaking, European players can't do that, but South American players can do a lot.
He is neither, but fortunately, he has a third trick. Close to the body, pulling, and drastically brutal movements to stop the opponent.
This kind of trick cannot be played in La Liga or Serie A. La Liga and Serie A defend this range of fouls. But in the Premier League, this kind of play is possible. The Premier League’s defensive penalties are much looser. This allows defensive players to have more physical contact when defending. As long as the foul is timely, many excellent dribbling skills will not be shown. Come out-this is why the Premier League is not very suitable for the survival of technical players.
His squeeze really caused Zhao Yaning to encounter some troubles. After all, Kompany was in the back and Lucio was in the front. Zhao Yaning had no interest in eating them alone. He passed the ball and gave it to Figo on the side, and then he ran to the right.
After Figo received the ball, he took the ball and ran two steps slowly, but Evra stared at him firmly. After all, Evra’s ability is still extremely good. Although sometimes he has the problem of not being able to go down if he rushes up. He is not as good as Ashley Cole in terms of the speed of offensive and defensive transitions. However, he only needs to defend seriously. At the time, the defensive ability is never need to worry. After all, Figo is already old and explosive is a problem. Although he can deal with many players by smashing back and forth, obviously, he can deal with people, not including Evra.
But Figo is a top star after all. He may not be able to break through his opponents, but it does not mean that he will have nothing to do with this situation. After shaking back and forth twice, he gave the ball to Kuyt, who ran to meet him, and then ran toward the center. Kuyt received the ball without too much hesitation. He also kicked the ball to Maicon, who was inserted from the side. Maicon took the ball, and at the same time, he speeded up and rushed to the bottom line. When Evra hesitated and didn't know who to defend, he already kicked the ball into the penalty area.
"Zhao Yaning!!!"
At this time, Zhao Yaning had just ran past Ferdinand and leaped to the top, pushing the ball towards the goal. Kuyt's pulling side and Figo's involvement gave Zhao Yaning a good opportunity to grab the header.
Unfortunately, Van der Sar flew up and knocked the ball out with a punch. Zhao Yaning, who was close at hand, immediately made a fill-in shot, but Brown, who returned to the goal line, saved the ball with one kick!
"Brown saved Manchester United! Beautiful penalty zone rescue!"
Zhao Yaning almost let out a curse. How could such an opportunity be missed?
The football has been kicked out, and this time, the person who grabbed the point was Kompany. He overstepped and gave the ball to Giggs. Giggs looked in front of him. Mascherano had already prevented him from coming over. , He could only pass the ball to Lucio, and Lucio, who received the ball, passed the ball back to Ferdinand, wanting to rely on the pass from the backcourt to resolve this time. attack.
After all, Manchester United has just been raided by Zhao Yaning once, and they need to stabilize a little bit.
However, at this time, there was a problem with their delivery. Ferdinand didn't stop the ball, he slipped in the penalty area~lightnovelpub.net~ and almost fell, and the ball was stopped by him.
And such an opportunity, put it to others, may not be a big deal, but now Liverpool's striker is Kuyt.
He keenly grasped this opportunity and rushed forward, grabbing the ball to his feet in the penalty area!
"Kuyt!!! Kuyt got the ball!!! Kuyt's single shot!!!"
Ferdinand had no time to catch up with Kuyt, but Zhao Yaning also rushed into the penalty area at this time. In front of Van der Sar, there were two people at the same time, Kuyt with the ball and Zhao Yaning without the ball, the two ghosts shot the goal. The situation made Van der Sar also hesitate. After some hesitation, he still chose to move closer to Zhao Yaning's side: Kuyt's shot may not be accurate, but if it is passed to Zhao Yaning... Van der Sar is still relatively Worried about Zhao Yaning.
However, Kuyt did not choose to pass this time. With Zhao Yaning's restraint on the opponent, his preparation for shooting can be extremely calm. He knows very well that at this time, what Zhao Yaning wants is not an opportunity to score goals by himself. He kicks, shoots, and hits!
The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal with great speed. Kuyt's shooting is not very good, but at this time, he shot the football without the slightest deviation. The football flew into the goal and Liverpool led the opponent 1-0.
"Kuyt!!! Kuyt scored the first goal of the game!!! Liverpool took the lead, and Kuyt won the opportunity for Liverpool!!!"
