Football’s First Defender

This is the confrontation between the giants, and this is the Double Red Club.

In most of the games, what Yang Feng showed was his excellent anticipation ability when defending the opponent's counterattack.

In everyone's mind, Yang Feng is definitely the world's number one central defender in terms of defending the opponent's counterattack.

No well-known central defender can make such reasonable and error-free judgments in judging placement, position selection, and defensive choices like Yang Feng.

And the title of "master of abuse of food" is also spreading like wildfire. In the match against the middle and lower teams, Yang Feng's dominant defensive performance makes Yang Feng the absolute cornerstone of the team's defense. Generally speaking, as long as the team's offensive end can have a level Based on the performance above, there should be no big problem for the team to win.

However, it is precisely because of Yang Feng's particularly outstanding performance in defending the opponent's counterattack that everyone has not paid so much attention to Yang Feng's defensive ability in positional warfare.

Many coaches began to focus on the counter-attack and pay attention to avoiding Yang Feng's side to attack. I believe that Manchester United, the Red Devils soldiers who have suffered a lot from Yang Feng's defense, will not take the initiative to touch such a tough bone as Yang Feng in order to win.

But in the positional attack, there are not so many real good opportunities to create. When the opportunities are really created by running and passing, then in order not to let the opportunities disappear in a flash, of course, it is necessary to pass the ball decisively. At this time, it is not a matter of considering who is the opponent and who is in charge of defense.

The most dangerous area, of course, is where the opponent's defense is most concerned. It is a false proposition to want to create a big enough threat in the offensive, but to avoid Yang Feng's defense.

The creation of the two opportunities was originally a good opportunity to score a goal, but Yang Feng's excellent position maintenance and the first blockade made Manchester United's offense return in vain.

Liverpool's offense is indeed good in terms of statistics. It has been biting the core data of Manchester United's offense. Basically, every time Manchester United completes a kick, Liverpool will also generate a shot data when they turn around.

However, the degree of threat cannot be compared.

Just looking at the statistics, the two teams have almost the same number of goals, but if you really want to make a small collection, a collection of dangerous offenses, then Manchester United's offensive rounds must account for a considerable proportion.

Liverpool's offense seems to be very reasonable in terms of staffing, both on the wing and in the center, but in terms of coordination, it doesn't match up no matter how you look at it.

This was especially true for Tang Ning, who was a bit skeptical during the game.

As an excellent striker on the wing, he was also selected as the "Magic Wing" on the wing of the England national team, but during the two seasons in Liverpool, Tang Ning felt extremely depressed.

In the second half of last season, when Yang Feng came back and was able to complete a high-quality defense, and Dalglish dared to invest more personnel on the offensive end, Tang Ning suddenly broke out, shed the previous title of "Tang Ling", and started On the offensive end, he contributes assists and goals.

However, this season, with Rodgers in charge at Anfield, Tang Ning, a traditional English wide player, will naturally not be a favorite in the eyes of Rodgers, who focuses on the pass and control system. He sits on the bench and has few opportunities to play.

And even though Rogers recently had more playing time in order to seek a change, but with only one Suarez in the middle, it seemed a bit sloppy to pass directly from the side, and was expressly prohibited. Under the opponent's well-prepared defense, Tangning was powerless.

Without Carol as a support in the frontcourt, Tangning felt that half of her talent was sealed.

But when he couldn't cross and could only break through the inside cut, it was too difficult for Tangning, who was not so agile at his feet, to successfully break through when the opponent had seen it ahead of time.

"Is this the ceiling of my career?"

Self-doubt is terrible. When a player makes his debut, he doesn't think he can have the appearance of a golden ball, but the reality is cruel.

When Tangning switched to Liverpool back then, she also wanted to improve herself in Liverpool, wanted to become the starting left midfielder of the national team, and wanted to further improve herself.

But the reality now is that Tangning found that her talent might not be able to adapt to the rich tactical system of the rich teams.

What I can do better is actually to focus on crosses from the side, supplemented by bottom breakthroughs or internal cuts, rather than breakthroughs as the main means of attack.

It can be said that Tang Ning's current technical characteristics are especially suitable for the mid-range teams in the Premier League. Their offense is simple and they just need to create opportunities. They are not suitable for the rich teams, which require complex offensive changes.

"Perhaps leaving is a good choice..."

In this game, Tang Ning faced Manchester United's right-back Rafael at every point and hindered him. Faced with his weak performance on the field, he was full of pessimism about his future in Liverpool and his future growth. ...

Liverpool's attack, just like Tangning's mood at this time, was also full of struggles.

"Another pass error."

"Joe Allen's ball was predicted in advance by Carrick and completed the interception. Manchester United's counterattack opportunity."

Liverpool's players returned to defense quickly, but Manchester United's counterattack speed was faster, and the players' personal counterattack ability was also stronger.

"Carrick made a straight pass and delivered the ball accurately to Cleverley in midfield."

When playing against Liverpool, remember not to think about killing Liverpool with a single stick when counterattacking. It is a taboo against Liverpool to go directly to the front with a long pass. That will only give Liverpool a greater chance of successfully completing the defense. This is Yang Feng's deterrent power.

Going to the ground to push and counterattack has become the promotion line that every team should try to choose when counterattacking against Liverpool.

Although the speed may be slightly slower, it is safe to win.

However, the personal ability and tactical literacy of Manchester United players also ensured the advancement of the ground counterattack, which was actually not that slow.

"Gerrard came back and followed Cleverley, but Cleverley was too fast."

"The accelerated dribbling diagonally forward made Gerrard want to foul, and there was no way to commit it for a while."

"The pass, a through ball in the middle of the field, and Cleverly puts the ball in front of Welbeck."

While running, Welbeck advanced to the line of Liverpool's penalty area, between Liverpool center back Yang Feng and right back Wisdom.

When Cleverley passed the ball, he also took into account the possible interference caused by Yang Feng, and passed the ball closer to Wisdom's side, trying to avoid Yang Feng's possible interception.

Wisdom's youth made him hesitant to return to defense this time, and he dared not give up. He was about to reach Evra on the wing, and when he recovered his defense, he was still some distance away from Welbeck. Yang Feng's imaginary double-teaming, and the idea of ​​completely locking Welbeck, could not be completed because Wisdom was far away.

"Welbeck, catch the ball and lead the ball into the penalty area! Take two steps and shoot with your left foot!"

Wisdom's hesitation in returning to the defense allowed Welbeck to carry Yang Feng's defense on the right side of his body, and lead the ball forward with his left foot to complete the goal.

This time Yang Feng provided most of the defense was interference. With Welbeck already accelerating, Yang Feng on his right had no chance to complete the first steal and could only do it in addition to physical confrontation. , using his own legs to block a certain angle of Welbeck's shot.

Fortunately, in the end, the burst shot with his left foot while on the move, although the shot was extremely powerful, it was also shot high and did not cause too bad a result.

"Wesdom! What are you doing! It's going to be completely recovered just now! Don't hesitate! Be bold!"

Although it is cruel for a young man under the age of 20 to bear such a large amount of defensive pressure, but in a game like the Double Red Club, since the starting lineup, there should be no hidden dangers in defense.

It's too late to teach the young people respectfully. At this time, I have to use a loud voice to wake up my teammates and let him understand what he should do...
