Football’s First Defender

The kops at Anfield did not wait too long, and their home team responded to Bayern's strength in the away game with a goal.

"This is Anfield!"

Even Bayern, coming here, cannot underestimate Liverpool's determination to win.

1 to 1, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

Both teams invested a large number of offensive players in the game, and also made very targeted arrangements on the counter-attack end. From the beginning of the game to the present, the two sides have come and gone, creating a lot of offensive threats.

This kind of fast-paced offense and defense is a huge test for Liverpool and Bayern's defense. Although Yang Feng and Ram on the opposite side really want to find the team's existing defensive strength, it is better for the opponent. way of defense.

However, the talent and ability of the offensive players of the two teams, as well as their tacit cooperation, clearly occupy the absolute initiative on the offensive end, which is not very good news for the defenders.

Do your own defense well first. After Yang Feng has fully figured out the main attack direction of Bayern, he can only weigh the lesser of two evils first, and hand over the task of marking Mandzukic, which he was in charge of before, to Skrtel.

I am sitting in the position of Liverpool's left center back to deal with Bayern's continuous impact on Jose Enrique's side.

Yang Feng chose to liberate himself from the previous inherent defense. Believe in your supplementary defense ability, can help Jose Enrique reduce a certain amount of pressure, and further use supplementary defense to limit Bayern's penetration of Liverpool's penalty area.

As for Mandzukic's ability to grab points, Yang Feng can only hope that Skrtel can withstand the pressure and take on more responsibilities.

Liverpool's side, which quickly equalized the score, must be the side with great momentum.

The team continues to use more impactful offenses, hoping to build a leading advantage at home in one go.

"Henderson picked a pass and passed it directly to the left side of Bayern's penalty area."

"It's bullying that Ram's height is not enough."

Henderson's pass deliberately avoided the defense zone of Bayern's two central defenders, directly allowing Sturridge on the left to have a 1v1 confrontation with Ram.

And the "team short" Lahm also knows his height disadvantage. It is unrealistic to directly compete with Sturridge for the first landing point. Instead, he can directly judge the accurate landing point directly in the game. Position, and the first purpose of defense and interception is to position and prepare for the press.

Of course, although there is no possibility of arguing for the landing point, the physical confrontation given by Lahm is still not small, and it can be regarded as doing his part to interfere with Sturridge.

This time, Sturridge did not choose to control the ball, but directly jumped into the air, forcibly controlled his body, and directly chose to head the ball into the small penalty area.

Sturridge also knows how fast Lahm's feet are and how good his defensive skills are. Although he can bully Lahm's height and control the first landing point, he wants to control the ball after landing , is not a simple matter.

"Sturridge, easily won this spot, and directly flew the header into the small penalty area."

"Suarez's follow-up!"

"Dante didn't give Suarez a chance to complete the goal, and went out with a header first."

"Schweinsteiger controlled the peripheral landing, turned around and pushed back!"

Bayern invested a lot in the counterattack today, and the players were extremely determined to launch a counterattack.

"A long through ball! Schweinsteiger accurately found Mandzukic who had already entered the Liverpool half."

Mandzukic ran forward sideways while looking back at the direction of his teammates passing the ball. Seeing Schweinsteiger passing the ball directly to find himself, Mandzukic would not think too much that he could simply follow the pass. Route, under the defense of Liverpool players, without slowing down, you can get the ball and break through directly.

To be on the safe side, Mandzukic still took the lead in playing his fulcrum role, choosing to slow down, turn his back, face the incoming ball, face the direction of the ball, and control the football first.

After that, choose to act as a transit point and continue to hand over the task of advancing the ball to other teammates.

"Mandzukic gave the ball straight to the right and gave a big lead."

Thomas Muller quickly followed up on the right, directly forming a speed competition with Jose Enrique on the right.

It's just that Mandzukic's pass is still a bit powerful. After Muller stopped the ball, he needed to make further adjustments to his movements and lost the space for him to go directly to the bottom. Gram formed a confrontation.

And the confrontation is less than 1 second.

"Franck Ribery came to meet him!"

"Passing by Muller, Muller directly passed a short pass to Ribery for the ball. Ribery took the ball and broke through at full speed on the right!"

In terms of speed, Muller may not be able to compete with Jose Enrique, and he is not sure to complete a single-point breakthrough against Jose Enrique.

But this is too simple for Ribery.

Ribery's acceleration and sudden explosive ability did catch Jose Enrique by surprise, and Ribery unilaterally created a defensive gap on the right.

Even if Franck Ribery is not on the left side he is familiar with, but on the right side, he still wants to make a breakthrough against Jose Enrique with "shrimp and pig's heart".

Not satisfied with the current crossing opportunities created on the wing, Ribery also wants to break through the past further and enter the penalty area to create a greater threat.

However, after discovering Ribery's insatiable ideas, Jose Enrique became more determined to block him on the route of travel. Let Ribery go directly to the penalty area on the wing alone, so he looks down on himself too much. .

Jose Enrique firmly held the position of the bottom line and did not give Ribery the opportunity to speed up and erase the past.

However, it may be a habit of defending those straight wide players in the Premier League.

Jose Enrique, forgot, as the top wide player in today's football, Ribery doesn't just rely on speed.

After speeding up to hit the bottom line and failing to seek a direct breakthrough, Ribery suddenly stopped when he was approaching the bottom line, changed direction, and rushed to the penalty area from the other side.

Ribery can control his figure, but Jose Enrique, who has been maintaining a certain acceleration state, has lost his defensive position under inertia.

Seeing that Ribery is about to successfully get rid of Jose Enrique's defense this time, at the critical moment, it was Yang Feng's assisted defense that resolved Ribery's dangerous offensive this time.

In order to completely get rid of Jose Enrique's defense, Ribery found Yang Feng's timely grab at the moment of joy.

Although José Enrique's center of gravity was shaken, Ribery's own body was accelerating, stopping suddenly, changing direction, and at the moment of completing this series of actions, he was actually in a state of stagnation. Yang Feng's Suddenly robbing, Ribery reacted and wanted to make a move, but his body didn't allow it.

Yang Feng directly and accurately intercepted the football under his feet, and directly cleared the sidewalk, which can be regarded as defusing Bayern's counterattack this time.

Bayern's attack on the right was very resolute in today's game.

After the sideline ball was sent out, while Ribery was still on the right, Bayern's offense started immediately, without delay.

Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller, and Toni Kroos, who was close to the right, made a very compact and small-scale pass between the three on the right.

Then Toni Kroos suddenly sent a forward through ball, and Ribery went directly and quickly into Liverpool's penalty area from the right side, but Yang Feng's protection was very good this time, and he blocked it first. Franck Ribery's route of travel directly protected the ball from the bottom line.

Liverpool's offense is still going on in an orderly manner, but the impact of the equalizer on Bayern is not as great as imagined. Bayern adjusted very quickly in their minds, and soon used a successful frontcourt to press and successfully let the Liverpool players I can only choose to clear the siege with big feet and exchange possession of the ball.

Today Franck Ribery is a left midfielder in name, but in terms of actual effect, Franck Ribery is quite "doing nothing". He responds in the middle, or simply comes directly to the right to participate in the offensive time, and the number of times, far Beyond the left side that he is responsible for, this also caused great trouble to Liverpool's defense.

Facing Franck Ribery's breakthrough with the ball on the right side of the midfield again, Sturridge, who recovered the defense, could only choose to use a not too big foul to complete the block.

Bayern didn't give Liverpool too much time to set up a defensive lineup. The free kick in the midfield area was directly taken by Kroos, who chose to take it quickly.

And it was a fairly accurate long pass, which was directly hoisted deep into the right area.

Thomas Muller, stepping on Liverpool's offside line, completes the accelerated sprint.

Jose Enrique's reaction was obviously a bit slower, although he took advantage of his speed and was obviously about to catch up.

But Thomas Muller's pass was sent in time at the last moment, and a low-altitude ball with a slight arc was passed to the goal.

In the middle, Ribery and Mandzukic were outflanked.

The task of interception is finally completed by Yang Feng. Yang Feng, who has been keeping a close eye on the situation on the right, also knows that Muller is not Ribery after all. Big, so Yang Feng has been paying attention to the control of maintaining a certain horizontal distance with Muller on the right. When Muller passed the ball, Yang Feng reacted very quickly. He fell directly to the ground and shoveled out. He completed the block at the front point, intercepted the ball out of the baseline, and once again let the outflanking Bayern players have no ball to play.

Bayern's corner kick opportunity and Toni Kroos' precise pass accurately found Van Buyten's area, but Yang Feng was very serious about marking this side.

He and Van Buyten got entangled, which affected their take-off. In the end, neither of them could compete for the ball. Henderson, who was in the penalty area, completed the header first.

Harvey Martinez, who was the second point outside the perimeter, completed a volley directly near the penalty area line, but it was a pity that the ball directly hit the anti-aircraft gun.

In the opening nearly 20 minutes, Bayern's main attack direction has always been on the right, and all offensive players are attacking on the right in turn. The test for Liverpool's wing defense is getting bigger and bigger.

Reina's big kick kicked off and passed directly to Bayern's half. Players from both sides competed for the ball's landing point in the midfield area.

Since both teams tend to control the possession of the ball, starting from the first landing point of the ball, the competition between the players is to try to pass the ball with the goal of controlling the possession of the ball.

But on the other hand, the pressure in the midfield area is extremely strong.

For a while, the two sides exchanged possession of the ball continuously in the midfield area, and no one could completely control the ball and pass it back to their own half.

For Liverpool, the midfielder Gerrard barely controlled the ball after he was forced to steal the ball, and wanted to pass it back to the half to reorganize, but Lucas was kicked from behind before the ball stopped. Mandzukic, who came, took advantage of his long legs and stabbed the ball to his teammates first. On the contrary, it was another chance for Bayern to counterattack quickly.

Toni Kroos took the ball forward quickly, and still chose to distribute the ball to Thomas Muller on the right as always, trying to make a breakthrough from the side, but this time Liverpool retreated very quickly, and the defensive players in the center were inclined to the right. The protection is very large, and Muller has no chance for a while, so he can only choose to pass the ball back to the rear and organize again.

Harvey Martinez, in the midfield position, facing Muller's return pass, is a large-scale transfer of the ball, and finally changed the way slightly, passed the ball to the left, and the left controlled the ball. It's Ribery.

Alaba's forward drive attracted Lucas's defense away, while Ribery started suddenly and did not look for opportunities from the left. Instead, he got rid of Glenn Johnson's defense in the first step and crossed the middle.

Liverpool's other defenders quickly defended and came over. Ribery did not try to go further, but directly made a diagonal half-high ball and re-transferred the ball to the right.

This half-high ball drew an arc in the air, just avoided Gerrard's leg extension, and flew accurately to the empty space in the unguarded area on the right.

Before the ball was on the left side, Muller inserted into the penalty area, which had already driven away Jose Enrique's defense, leaving an absolute space on the right. Ram's insertion at this time was just right, and he got the ball on the right without a single shot. Interference by a defensive player.

Lahm sent another pass and swept it to the goal accurately.

The fast pass to the forward point has an arc, and it is Thomas Muller and Jose Enrique who are interspersed with the forward point. For Muller's ghostly movement, it is still too late to defend. There is Yang Feng!

For Muller, this kind of spatial player, Yang Feng is the most vigilant. He didn't give Muller a chance to shoot. For the purpose of destruction, he stretched his legs first and blocked the pass.

Yang Feng and Muller hit the ball almost at the same time, but due to the impact of inertia, Muller's shot was blocked by Yang Feng, and it was another corner kick!
