Football’s First Defender

Liverpool will lose this double-red game in the away game, which is indeed in line with the expectations of many media and fans before the game, but what everyone did not expect is that Liverpool, which has many problems, can persist until the last moment, and it is true. This poses a big enough threat to the mighty Manchester United.

Just like the second half of Dalglish's coaching last season, the addition of Yang Feng, who returned from injury, instantly improved the overall strength of the Liverpool team. Sturridge, who will come, can quickly and seamlessly connect with Liverpool and become the most important member of Liverpool's offensive system.

Some people even said that if Rodgers could be more daring in terms of employing people, this double red game would give Sturridge a chance to start, so the final result may be even more difficult to say.

After the defeat of the Double Red Club, the other results of this round were released, and Liverpool was one step further away from the Champions League.

The time has entered mid-January, and there is not much time left for Liverpool to exert their strength. Can they regain points in the second half of the league, gain an advantage in the strong confrontation, and overcome the obstacles of many teams in front of them? , Entering the Champions League, for Rodgers, will be the guarantee of whether his coaching position at the end of the season is firm.

Moreover, Liverpool still has the upcoming Champions League knockout round to play, so how to choose is also a time to test Rogers' courage.

On the second day after returning to Liverpool, it was originally a day off for the team, but in the Liverpool training base, Yang Feng's extra training team ushered in a new member, who has begun to integrate into the Liverpool circle Sturridge , also came directly to Yang Feng to "worship the pier" and mingle with a group of young Liverpool players.

Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge, Henderson, Skrtel, plus the nominal "boss" Yang Feng, half of Liverpool's starting lineup, all under the leadership of Yang Feng, began to play the role of young people. Enthusiasm, devotion to training, such a dynamic group also makes Yang Feng more confident about the future.

Especially the offensive cooperation between 3S, if we say that Sturridge was a hero made by the times before, relying on his own running position, agility, and even luck to continuously get offensive opportunities.

So now, after getting familiar with Suarez's offensive characteristics and seeing Sterling's super acceleration, Sturridge began to consciously adjust to a better position based on the characteristics of his teammates to strive for a better position. offensive opportunity.

The extra training of small groups, compared with the team training as a whole, will definitely allow the players to get to know each other in a small area. As a defender, Yang Feng watched the 3S combination constantly discuss ways to deal with him and hone his offensive skills. The routine also made Yang Feng smile like an "old father" on the side.

With better players, a more dynamic offensive combination, and Rodgers' mature team tactics in history, Yang Feng is full of expectations for next season.

This season, Yang Feng also knows what kind of miracle he wants to achieve, which seems a little unrealistic, but in the second half of this season, he will polish the team and prepare for next season.

Yang Feng believes that it is entirely possible for this Liverpool team to go one step further than the crazy Liverpool team in memory and strive for the first Premier League title in team history.

A group of energetic young people can easily complete a day's extra training tasks amidst laughter and laughter. Everyone who is in the rising stage of their careers is very dedicated to this kind of high-level, collective extra training , focusing on self-improvement.

Sterling focused on strengthening long-range shots, Suarez and Henderson were discussing long-range shooting skills, Yang Feng and Skrtel conducted a 1v1 set-piece attack and defense simulation with Sturridge as a passer... …

Everyone has their own areas that need to be strengthened and improved, and except for the goalkeeper, this small group barely covers all positions, and they can help each other to improve their own strength.

Especially as an offensive player, the offensive and defensive practice with Yang Feng. Although offensive players definitely have a greater advantage in personal offensive and defensive drills, Yang Feng's ability to control space and excellent judgment can maximize defensive interference and strengthen offensive players. better rational use of

Every time he faces Yang Feng's defense, it is a rare opportunity for Suarez to test his offensive growth. For forward players of this level, they need to have a higher level of defensive confrontation to keep themselves outstanding Offensive state, to improve their offensive success rate, to complete the final defense.

On the second day, during Liverpool's overall team training, Rodgers decisively began to change the latest starting lineup during training. Sturridge got the transfer as he wished and wanted the starting lineup with his continuous wonderful performance. Location.

It's just that Rogers saw Sturridge's shining point, but he was not a god. He could complete the final 3S combination in one step.

After failing to achieve the ideal offensive coordination against Manchester United, Rodgers intends to try the double center tactics of Sturridge and Suarez.

It's just that Suarez, a striker, because of his excellent ball-handling ability and passing ability, was placed in an offensive position by Rogers and became a little bit later, more like a shadow forward hidden behind Sturridge.

On the basis of the existing personnel, Rogers can do limited things, but he can try new tactical ideas by adjusting the positions of some players.

Since Sterling was not "hard" enough in the past few games on the right, Rogers, who began to change his inherent tactical thinking, tried to find players more suitable for the current team's offensive system, and finally chose to use the "harder" tradition. The British winger Tang Ning came to play the position of the right midfielder.

Then use Henderson on the left instead, let him rely on running, and the ability to play the ball in the midfielder to guide the offense on this side.

The configuration of double defensive midfielders, continue to choose to use Gerrard and Lucas, the hard-core direct descendant Joe Allen brought from Swansea, after using it for most of the season, he could not complete the amazing performance, especially in the last double red meeting Some of the pass errors in the game made Rogers completely disappointed in him...

On the back line, let Wisdom return to the left back position and guard his one-acre three-point field, and then let Glenn Johnson return to the more suitable right back position, and Tang Ning in front of him forms a You can rely on speed and confrontation to complete the combination of tearing the opponent's defense line.

Norwich, who visited Anfield on the weekend, became the first test product of Rodgers' new tactics and the first test product of Sturridge's starting effect.

After 90 minutes of the game, the scoreboard on the Anfield stadium showed a score of 5 to 0. From the laughter of the entire stadium, it can be seen that behind this score is full of "blood".

The mid-range team Norwich, this game was played according to. Liverpool went crazy on the offensive end. Henderson, Lucas, Sturridge and Gerrard each contributed a goal in the game.

Thanks to the smoother offensive transmission, and the fact that Sturridge and Suarez can act as the fulcrum of the team, Liverpool's offense in this game played extremely smoothly.

Leading 2-0 at halftime, they sealed the victory 4-0 in 60 minutes. Not to mention Norwich was completely discouraged. At the end, Tang Ning's threatening cross caused the opponent's own goal. , The score was further expanded to 5-0, completing the massacre at home.
