Football’s First Defender

The second half of the game restarted.

Although the emotions of most of Arsenal's players have stabilized somewhat after the intermission.

However, Van Persie's anger in the penalty area has not dropped after Yang Feng's "tactical" physical confrontation "sexy".

After several seasons of training in the Premier League, Yang Feng is no longer the "pure boy" who only relies on his personal defensive moves to defend.

In the game, sometimes, small movements that conform to the rules, or when the opponent is impatient, frequently find the opponent for physical confrontation, to stimulate the opponent, to make the opponent lose his mind, and unexpected results can also be obtained.

Van Persie, who was completely restrained by Yang Feng's personal defense, was then disturbed by Yang Feng's constant physical collision and jersey pulling, and fell into the emotional trap created by Yang Feng, and his offensive performance became even more mediocre.

When Van Persie, as the forward attacker, could not get the space for his feet, Arsenal could only rely on the midfielders to stand up and try to score goals.

"Rosicky, cut inside alone on the left."

"The title of Mozart on the stadium is definitely not for naught. Rosicky relied on his excellent technical ability at his feet to successfully get rid of Charlie Adam's defense and enter the hinterland of Liverpool's penalty area."

"Yang Feng! He came directly from the other side to defend. Before Rosicky could fully control the football under his feet, he suddenly appeared and kicked the football accurately. The ball was swung by Yang Feng's calf and directly kicked out of the penalty area. outside."

"Henderson outside the penalty area reacted first, and drove a big foot towards the opponent's half to complete the clearance."

"We saw that after Arsenal's attack was completed, Rosicky and Van Persie had some arguments about the ball just now."

Yang Feng's supplementary defense was really timely. Rosicky had just completed a personal breakthrough against Charlie Adam. He only took the ball, but before he could control it well, Yang Feng went out directly on the other side to complete the steal.

Logically speaking, as a central defender, Yang Feng shouldn't be in this position, but because Van Persie had been gesturing for the ball on the other side of the penalty area before, but he didn't get the support of his teammates, Van Persie simply moved to the side of the ball.

At that time, Rosicky, who had already set his personal offensive line and devoted himself to the personal confrontation with Charlie Adam, naturally did not notice Van Persie who suddenly ran to his side.

Then, of course, Rosicky tried his best to break through Charlie Adam's defense and was about to enter the penalty area. When he finished his personal shot, he suddenly encountered Yang Feng's supplementary defense, which was not in Rosicky's plan.

Yang Feng was brought here by Van Persie's movement.

Rosicky was complaining about Van Persie's ignorance and brought him a top defender, which led to the failure of this attack.

And Van Persie, who was angry in his heart, complained that Rosicky should have passed the ball to himself before, and he had been signaling to pass the ball all the time.

Due to the lag in the score, both of them were a little loud in their defenses. In the heat of anger, Rosicky even said, "You let the opponent's central defender defend so hard that he can't even stop the ball, and let me pass the ball to waste?" if.

The cynicism of his teammates ignited Van Persie's anger even more. If the other teammates hadn't seen that the momentum was not good, they would have already stepped forward to pull the two of them away. Otherwise, Arsenal would have an internal conflict in the away game.

For professional players, especially the players of the five major league teams, it is actually very difficult to see them quarreling on the court, and internal strife, which is detrimental to the team's image.

After all, everyone is a professional player, and doing something that is not conducive to the image of the team is also against everyone's professionalism.

But there is something wrong with Arsenal itself today.

In such a crucial four-game battle, the team actually had an advantage, but because of an inexplicable own goal, they fell behind in the game.

In the following games, facing Liverpool's defense, Arsenal, who had been occupying possession of the ball, were helpless for a long time, which also made the players a little impatient.

When the players are at a disadvantage on the court and the players are anxious, everyone's anger will naturally rise.

And in fact, the Arsenal players themselves have certain contradictions off the court.

Van Persie, who has performed so well this season, has won the favor of many giants, and his agent is also flirting with other clubs. Although Van Persie is in Arsenal, he already has some grass in his heart.

Van Persie, who has always wanted to continue scoring goals, began to play more and more independently on the field. Although as a forward, it does not matter much to play independently, but he takes the passing of his teammates as a matter of course and takes the team's victory. , directly attributed all the credit to himself, but it also made many players feel dissatisfied with him.

Just like this time, Rosicky complained to Van Persie normally, explaining that he shouldn't come to interfere with his attack, but Van Persie's attitude directly annoyed Rosicky.

Taking advantage of problems with the players on Arsenal's side, Yang Feng took the time to remind his teammates that they must lock up the defense in the middle and do a good job of supplementary defense. It doesn't matter if they give up certain side defenses when necessary.

After all, Yang Feng is confident that he can limit the strongest point of contention in the Arsenal team. Liverpool's defenders only need to pay attention to the forward penetration points of those midfielders.

The episode within the Arsenal team passed quickly, and Arsenal still continued to hold the offensive initiative.

However, although Arsenal played happily on both sides, Van Persie in the penalty area really didn't have much chance to catch the ball.

Finally, Van Persie retreated outside the penalty area, received a direct pass from his teammate, and planned to take a step laterally. He took advantage of Yang Feng's defensive reaction and finished hitting the goal.

However, Yang Feng directly made a foul action of falling to the ground, which directly tripped Van Persie!

Due to Arsenal's continuous passing of the ball before, Yang Feng did not catch up with Van Persie immediately. Although he was outside the penalty area, Yang Feng did not dare to bet on Van Persie's shooting skills.

When other players could not form a supplementary defense, and Van Persie shot in front of the goal, and there were not many Liverpool defenders who could block the goal, Yang Feng decisively chose to use a foul to bring down Van Persie and prevent Van Persie from hitting the goal this time.

This should have been Van Persie's first chance to hit the goal in the second half of the game. Van Persie also led the ball and made the most comfortable posture for hitting the goal, but when he kicked out, he was directly fouled by Yang Feng and caused his body to lose balance.

anger! Out of anger!

Although the referee showed a yellow card to sanction Yang Feng, in Van Persie's view, Yang Feng's "bad" foul prevented him from scoring a possible goal. Van Persie hated Yang Feng.

Afterwards, Yang Feng kept strict defense against Van Persie as always, which made it difficult for Van Persie to get a chance to score, let alone score a goal.

"Theo Walcott crossed to the center after a breakthrough from the right, trying to find Van Persie!"

"It's Yang Feng again. When Van Persie was posing to stop the ball, he first rushed up to fight with his body, which affected Van Persie's technical movements, and then he stepped forward to intercept this pass!"

"Yang Feng himself wants to take the ball out of the penalty area!"

"Van Persie! Sweep his legs from behind! Kick Yang Feng to the ground!"

"The referee is running over!"

"Yang Feng is still rolling on the ground clutching his legs!"

"Yellow card! The referee showed Van Persie a yellow card!"

"Two yellows turned into one red. Van Persie paid the price for his reckless foul and left the field with red!"

"Arsenal is one goal behind away from home, and now they have to play one less man!"

Sometimes, emotional depression will affect a person's judgment and control.

Van Persie was suppressed by Yang Feng in this game. It was really miserable for Van Persie to face Yang Feng's excellent personal marking alone without the helper of the forward line to attract defensive vitality for himself. , I was already full of uselessness.

Coupled with the situation on the court, the previous conflicts with his teammates, and many situations that should have been a threatening attack but was blocked by Yang Feng with fouls, Van Persie himself was defended by Yang Feng this time. After cutting off the pass passed to him again, he was really furious.

Losing his mind, Van Persie immediately wanted revenge on Yang Feng, wanted to snatch the ball from Yang Feng's feet, and didn't want Yang Feng to walk away after another successful defense.

However, Van Persie's foul action behind him completely forgot that he was carrying a yellow card because of the conflict with Yang Feng in the first half.

When the referee showed a red card, it was too late for Van Persie.

But when he walked off the field, he had to accept the ruthless laughter, jeers, and some boos from the fans at Anfield.

Except for the pain after being kicked, Yang Feng was not injured. After a while, he resumed participating in the game directly.

In the 11-to-10 situation, Liverpool still sit at home and still hold the advantage of leading by 1 goal. Professor Wenger is a little bit anxious about the current disadvantaged situation.

After replacing Chamberlain and Diaby successively, Wenger also wants to make use of the existing lineup in the away game, try to use the personal abilities of the players, and find opportunities.

However, Liverpool turned into a split-slave mode in this game. Although the team players have the upper hand, they still have no plans to take the initiative to take the initiative to dominate the offense at home. The team's primary task is still defense.

Use defense to maintain the team's lead, and use dense defense to limit the impact of many speed attackers in the Arsenal team.

Without Van Persie in the penalty area, although Arsenal has become a striker-less formation similar to Spain, they make more use of running and interspersing. Everyone in the midfield is likely to enter the penalty area and act as a pseudo-forward to carry out the last attack. attack.

But Liverpool has Yang Feng!

Yang Feng, who successfully put his defender off the field, completely became a free defender when Arsenal did not have a substitute striker on the field.

When most of Liverpool's players were sticking to the central line of defense, Yang Feng gave full play to his ability to predict the situation and his ability to react, coming and going to make up for possible loopholes in Liverpool's defense.

Although there is one less player, Arsenal's many offensive players can actually create a few offensive opportunities. However, before they finish hitting the goal in the penalty area, they will always be defeated by Yang Feng's timely appearance. Attack opportunities that are easy to form are directly destroyed.

Yang Feng is a brick in Liverpool's defense in this game, and he will automatically build a copper wall and iron wall wherever it is needed.

Although Arsenal are famous in the Premier League for their outstanding offensive firepower, they are faced with the dilemma of one less player, and there is also a star central defender who "appears and disappears" on the other side.

Arsenal's seemingly smooth offense just couldn't open the door to Liverpool.

On Arsenal's side, there are really limited ways to attack. Arsenal, with one less player, still needs to attack. The space they leave in the backcourt should not be too big.

Although almost all Liverpool players are defending in their own half, because Arsenal has one less player, the defense against Liverpool's counterattack is even more limited.

Liverpool had a lot of counterattacks in the second half, but it is a pity that Liverpool's ability to seize opportunities in the frontcourt today is not strong, and it is also because Arsenal's opponent's defense has handled the ball well a few times, so the score has been maintained at 1. 0.

However, as the game time passed, Arsenal's offense had to move forward, and the defense had to move forward with the team's offense.

In addition, in order to make up for the lack of player movement caused by the lack of one player, Arsenal's full-backs can only boldly participate in the offense and run back and forth in the game.

Physical fitness is the current disadvantage of Arsenal players.

After all, there are 10 of them, and if they want to run the amount of exercise of 11 people, everyone must be at the limit of their physical fitness, plus an extra 1,000 meters.

"Arsenal's offense, it is too difficult to penetrate Liverpool's defense!"

"It was Rosicky who used his personal ability on the wing to forcibly get rid of the defenders, and then passed a through ball into the penalty area!"

"Chamberlain, who just went straight from the middle and wanted to respond, was blocked by Yang Feng."

"Yang Feng blocked Chamberlain's path, and then took the first step to control the football passed by Rosicky, and then passed it directly to the teammate on the other side of the penalty area. Jose Enrique directly drove the ball forward. Liverpool's counterattack opportunity! "

Arsenal, who played one less player, relied more on fouls in the game to prevent Liverpool's counterattack.

This time, Jose Enrique found the direction where his teammates quickly counterattacked and advanced, and before Arsenal fouled, he had already driven the ball directly to the frontcourt.

"Spiring! The young man was still full of energy until the last moment of the game, and he was at the forefront of Liverpool's counterattack!"

"Jose Enrique's long pass, the landing point is passed directly to the deep area of ​​​​Arsenal's left!"

"Spiring unloaded the pass and cut inside directly into the penalty area!"

"Koscielny stepped forward to stop him, but Spilling was not afraid of tigers. Using a simple step on a bicycle, he suddenly accelerated the rhythm under his feet, swayed Koscielny one step away, and volleyed directly to the goal. !"

"GOAL!!!"

"Spiring! Scored the second goal for Liverpool, Liverpool rewritten the score to 2-0 at home. Completely killed the suspense of the game!"

The Liverpool players were celebrating the goal that sealed the victory, while the Arsenal players were unwilling, frustrated, and feeling relieved.

To play one less player, for the Arsenal soldiers, they all worked hard in the game. At this time, the victory was sealed by Liverpool, and the Arsenal players had no plans to try to counterattack at the last moment.

With a score of 2 to 0, the game was not that exciting, but the precious three points made Liverpool at the forefront of the road to the fourth.

This season's true four-maniac-Liverpool!
