Football’s First Defender

"Barack! Passed the ball into the penalty area. This time, Ballack didn't choose to hit the goal directly from a long distance!"

"Under Kolo Toure's defense, Drogba did not take advantage of too much physical confrontation. After all, Kolo Toure's height and weight have absolute advantages, but in terms of pure strength and explosive power. , maybe Drogba has the upper hand!"

"Alexander Song is also following Terry closely. He can only hand over the equally threatening Chelsea central defender Yang Feng to the right defender Sagna!"

Due to Arsenal's high center forward Bendtner's natural shortcomings in mobility, his offensive skills and header ability may be good, but if he is defended with others, he will always lose inexplicably. Location!

When Wenger was defending the set ball, he once considered letting Bendtner mark the opponent's high point, but it was always in the middle of the game. Bendtner's mark used a teammate's cover, or ran a little longer. , Bendtner will lose his defender, Wenger has repeatedly emphasized, but Bendtner is a maverick, and he still goes his own way on the defensive end without any improvement! So Wenger can only choose a compromise solution in the end, which is to let Bendtner occupy a point position and defend an area instead of marking the opponent's players! The entire range in front of the goal was controlled by Bendtner as much as possible, which made Arsenal's set-piece defense not bad!

Bendtner's defensive positioning method naturally makes Yang Feng a high point position that Arsenal must release on the defensive end! You can only use the short but powerful Sania to top defense!

Drogba is the most threatening player in Chelsea's team at any time, and Terry's reputation in England is obviously much higher than that of Yang Feng, who has just emerged in the past half season. Naturally, he can't give up special defense. Let go of Yang Feng, who seems to have obvious shortcomings in physical confrontation!

When Yang Feng served a set kick, he looked at Sarnia who was half a head shorter than him. The difference in height between the two was nearly 15 centimeters.

"I feel like I've been underestimated again!" As a central defender, Yang Feng seems to be the one who is mainly defended in set kicks only when he is partnered with Alex! And most of the time, whether it is Terry or Carvalho, Yang Feng will always be ignored by the opponent's high-point defenders!

Yang Feng's physical confrontation ability has been a recognized weakness of all teams since he entered the Premier League! Although Yang Feng's own training time outside the competition, he has been strengthening his physical resistance ability and strengthening the strength training of various parts of the body! But it may be due to the difference in race. Even though Yang Feng's various physical statistics have improved after a long period of training, he just can't develop the eye-catching muscles of other players!

Of course, the muscle mass here refers to the kind of muscles that can burst out of strength and improve the strength of the body in the competition, rather than those "good-looking muscles" artificially trained by eating protein powder in bodybuilding competitions!

Yang Feng's muscles are not obvious in the words of a physical fitness teacher, but they are enough for use! It's all hidden under the jersey, and it's not really revealed. And the difference in race, even if Yang Feng continues to increase his muscles, Yang Feng's pure strength confrontation will still not have much advantage, but it is not as unbearable as before, and the confrontation intensity can be properly satisfied!

However, this is not the case when facing a player of the same stature as Yang Feng, facing Sarnia at this time!

Just like Yao Ming in the NBA, in terms of pure physical confrontation, Yao Ming may be the same as a black center of about 2 meters, but with the advantage of his height and weight, he can still use his strong inertia to complete A certain level of inertial crushing!

Yang Feng is facing Sarnia at this time. In fact, in terms of pure physical confrontation, Yang Feng can now guarantee a 50-50 split with Sarnia, but with Yang Feng's height and weight advantages, Yang Feng is confident that he can give Sarnia Sarnia a surprise!

"Balack's pass was looking for the front spot, which has always been Yang Feng's dessert spot!"

"Yang Feng, strode towards the landing point, and while running, he was physically confronting Sania who was defending him!"

"Shit!" Sania now fully felt the pressure of the physical confrontation brought to him by the oriental giant in his eyes!

"Let's not talk about this Chinese, isn't he good at physical confrontation? Is he not good at it? I can't even take a step up, damn scouting report!"

Taking advantage of his height and long arms, Yang Feng's movement of swinging his arms during the running process gave Sania a lot of interference, and when Sania wanted to directly confront him, Yang Feng was also able to stand up without giving in ! The vantage point of running was firmly blocked by Yang Feng, and Sania could only harass him to a limited extent behind Yang Feng!

In the end, Sarnia still had no way to completely interfere with Yang Feng's header!

"Yang Feng! Just hit the goal with a head shake! Sania's jumping interference behind Yang Feng didn't achieve any effect!"

"A shot within the range of the door frame! Yang Feng's attack!"

"Fabianski, made a save. Fortunately, Yang Feng's shot angle was not too big, and it was still within Fabianski's control. Arsenal defended their goal with this goal!"

Yang Feng and Sarnia have a very obvious matchup advantage. After Sarnia cannot gain enough advantage in physical confrontation, it may be that he still has a natural advantage in speed, but in the competition for the set ball, the speed may It is the weakest advantage. In many cases, even though Sania's speed is fast, with Yang Feng's ability to accurately judge the landing point, Yang Feng can always take the lead in starting and occupy the first opportunity!

This also makes Sania, who is always belatedly aware, may not even be able to get the space to use his speed advantage from Yang Feng! With Wenger unable to make targeted adjustments, Sania has a tendency to be blown away by Yang Feng completely on the court!

"Yang Feng! In this corner kick fight again, he overwhelmed Sarnia and grabbed the spot. It was still a header from the front point!"

"That means Fabianski has been paying attention to the attack from Yang Feng's side. Yang Feng's header this time is still not very tricky, and it was won by Fabianski again!"

"However, is it true that Sarnia has been used to continue to defend Yang Feng? Does Wenger need to consider transferring Bendtner, who is in charge of zone marking, to defend Yang Feng?"

In fact, Wenger is also struggling. Yang Feng has been able to complete good-quality headers under the continuous interference of Sagna's body. It has proved that there is a huge loophole in Arsenal's set-piece defense. Regardless of Yang Feng's point, there might really be a problem!

It's like Liverpool was blown away by Ivanovic in the first leg of the Champions League! Although the scramble for the set-piece does not seem to be that lethal, but no one knows which one will hit an excellent goal, making the goalkeeper helpless!

Seeing that Yang Feng used his height advantage to bully Sagna in the header fight for the third time, and successfully completed the pass for the header, Wenger finally couldn't stand it anymore!

"Bentner! Go to the front! You are responsible for the area defense of the front and limit Yang Feng's header!"

With Nasri on the wing, bringing the head coach's latest defensive tactics, Bendtner's position was moved forward when defending set kicks, and moved to the forward position that Yang Feng was most willing to appear in!

In this way, Bendtner can use his height, weight, and confrontation ability to interfere more effectively with Yang Feng!

However, the risk that needs to be borne in this way is Bendtner's own defensive attitude. Can he really follow Yang Feng all the time and keep his defensive attention on Yang Feng, instead of giving this equally threatening high point an opportunity to attack in other positions!

Among Chelsea's set-piece attack opportunities, because Yang Feng's opportunity is always the most threatening, teammates are more willing to look for Yang Feng's header!

However, this time in the process of fighting for Yang Feng's front point, Bendtner, who is tall and tall, successfully completed the defense! And after successfully completing the defense, he gave Yang Feng a slightly contemptuous look, as if he was provoking Yang Feng, and later on the offensive end, he could also score with a header under Yang Feng's defense!

Yang Feng smiled bluntly, Bendtner came to defend himself in the high ball, that is really good news!

Sometimes, a player's playing habits cannot be changed suddenly on the spot! Just like Bendtner's slack in defense, even if Wenger emphasized it many times before the game, maybe Bendtner could keep up with the defense at the beginning, but as the game progressed, he would germinate again. !

In the limited time, Yang Feng focused on studying the scouting reports and game videos of Arsenal's offensive forwards. He focused on Bendtner, who is very likely to play set-piece offense and defensive tactics. He has a lot to do with himself. Players who are likely to face up directly!

Yang Feng also knows his technical characteristics, on-court personality, and playing habits like the palm of his hand!

Naturally, he also paid attention to the doubts about his defensive attitude in the scout report!

Chelsea's scouting system, or the team's exclusive intelligence collection system, is the most willing to spend money. It's not like the cheap Arsenal, where everything is stingy! Sometimes, the most expensive is the best. Arsenal's understanding of Yang Feng's confrontation ability clearly proves that there are obvious problems with the immediacy or seriousness of their scouting reports!

"Chelsea's counterattack is very handy in the game! The speed of advancement is very fast, and the ball can always be quickly passed to the frontcourt, putting pressure on Arsenal's defense!"

"However, Arsenal's tactics are very clear! They foul decisively when facing Chelsea's threat to counterattack, and Arsenal's defensive players have a good grasp of the foul scale, which is always outside the scale of the referee's cards. , technical fouls to complete the block, and can control the number of yellow cards of the players!"

"So far, Arsenal only has a yellow card for Nasri. Many key players on the defensive end have committed a lot of fouls, but none of them paid the price of getting a card!"

"Although it seems that it is not a good thing to give Chelsea a lot of set-piece opportunities, Wenger may also know that set-pieces are easier to defend than letting Drogba mess up the defense alone in the counterattack to get a chance to shoot! "

"Moreover, maybe I have learned the lessons of the first round between Liverpool and Chelsea. Although Arsenal fouled a lot during Chelsea's counterattack, in the normal defense of some positional battles, the defensive discipline of the Arsenal players is still very good. Yes, it didn't give Chelsea too many chances!"

"So on the whole, the number of set kicks for Chelsea has not reached an uncontrollable stage!"

"This ball! During the counterattack, when Malouda was about to speed up, Sagna also used a foul to block Malouda's intention to pass the ball immediately!"

"The referee is still giving a verbal warning. Although Chelsea's bench and players on the field are complaining to the referee, the referee still believes that Arsenal's foul has not reached the level of a card!"

"Indeed! For Arsenal's many fouls, the action was not so big that it was secondary. The main reason was that the timing of the foul was chosen very well. It was not the obvious tactical foul motive. The defensive players still fouled after they stood in the defensive position! It was just for the maximum The degree of stability is also afraid that Chelsea, a few players with strong single-point abilities, will rely on their personal ability to create scoring opportunities when Arsenal's defense line is not stable in the counterattack!"

"A free kick from the left! Lampard himself took the penalty! This kick actually has a direct angle to hit the goal!"

"Fabianski is also nervously directing the arrangement of his teammates' human wall in front of the goal!"

"Lampard! Run-up! Pass!"

"A curve ball passed into the penalty area!"

"The big arc of this ball is looking for the position of the back point!"

"Yang Feng! Yang Feng!"

"Insert from the back! Sudden oblique insertion from left to right!"

"Let's jump forward and lean over to hit the door!"

"Take a contra-angle!"

"GOAL!"

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Yang Feng! Opened the scoring for Chelsea!"

"This shot is really beautiful!"

"Facing Fabianski's near-finished shooting angle blocked, Yang Feng decisively chose to stay in the air, exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, pushed out a small parabolic shot, and flew to the other side of the goal! "

"Fabianski's save, because of the problem of the take-off height, did not touch the height of this kick at all!"

"Yang Feng's goal is really wonderful!"

"Chelsea's players are still celebrating, let's watch the replay first!"

"The two high points of Drogba and Terry were firmly restricted by their own defenders, and they didn't even take off fully because of the physical confrontation between each other!"

"Instead, it was Yang Feng who made a small circle between many teammates, and then suddenly slanted towards the point where Lampard passed the ball!"

"Bentner, who was in charge of defending Yang Feng these few times, stayed where he was, watching the show standing up!"

"Yang Feng scored this header with almost no defense!"

"In the 28th minute of the game, Chelsea temporarily led 1-0!"
