Football’s First Defender

"The surprise of the game is too great."

"It was obviously an excellent 1v1 opportunity for Tottenham, but when he turned around, Yang Feng not only blocked Bale's counterattack this time, but also immediately sent a long pass to help his teammates score the team's third goal. "

No one expected that after Yang Feng completed the defense, his second reaction would be so fast that he would immediately get up and control the ball, and directly make a long pass to find Tottenham's teammates in the half.

In a hurry, Yang Feng, who was afraid that Tottenham's defense would regain his position, could only use the fastest speed to complete the ball. In terms of accuracy, it was true that Yang Feng's own passing target was a little bit behind.

But at the moment when Tottenham passed the ball from Yang Feng, there was too much space in the half-court. Except for the players who stepped in to attack and participated in the counterattack, the other left-behind players bent over and breathed evenly to slow down their physical fitness. But I didn't expect that Liverpool's counterattack would come so soon, or a long pass directly to the hinterland of Tottenham.

Lowry's attack speed is actually not slow. Sterling's position at the time was also too far from the ball's landing point.

In terms of position, Yang Feng's long pass rebounded forward after landing, and it should be closer to Lori's side, but Lori, who ran outside the penalty area and was about to clear the siege, the moment the ball hit the ground , Seeing Sterling running towards him quickly, he panicked.

Even though Sterling still needs time to rush in front of him, Lori, who is a little flustered, doesn't want to wait for the ball to bounce back in front of him. Complete the clearance.

This time Lori made a huge mistake when he stretched his legs forward to make a clearance.

As a goalkeeper, Lori will definitely not make too many mistakes in the judgment of the landing point and the ball's approximate trajectory.

It's just that the pass from Yang Feng seems to be a straight up and down big foot to clear the siege, or a long pass, but because Yang Feng wants to play the ball as soon as possible, Yang Feng still added a little rotation to the use of footwork. .

This point of rotation had a huge impact the moment it hit the ground and rebounded.

The turf at Anfield helped the home team this time. The tens of minutes of fierce battle between the two teams caused damage to the turf of the stadium to a certain extent. Various unexpected factors intertwined, and the final result was that the ball did not He flew over as Lori expected, but flew to a position further to the right.

Lowry's front foot made a clearance and kicked empty.

But Lori himself lost a certain amount of focus.

Steady his forward leaning body, draw back his feet, turn around and chase the latest landing point of the ball, but Lori felt that his speed was too slow, too slow...

So slow that Sterling has managed to be equal to himself, and then use the speed to surpass himself...

As a speed player, Sterling actually didn't have too much expectation for this ball at first. After all, no matter how fast he is, it can't make up for it. Lowry has the advantage of distance.

It's just that, with a more positive attitude, Sterling must also maintain his speed to interfere with Lowry's kick-off.

The original intention may have been to interfere with Lowry's formation of an out-of-bounds clearance ball, so that the ball remains on Liverpool's side, but what Sterling did not expect was that Lowry's attack this time would directly send himself a ball. A big gift from the sky.

Of course, Sterling happily accepted such a valuable gift, and raised his speed to the highest. After taking the lead in Lori's position and getting the ball, Sterling forcibly calmed himself down this time.

Today's Sterling, in the game, still prefers his position on the wing, and what he enjoys more is the feeling of breaking through the wing at lightning speed. After the last end, although Yang Feng reminded him, he still has his own. In private training, they all began to pay attention to this aspect, but during the game, Sterling still had to overcome the fluctuations in his mental state when he hit the goal.

Sterling's low goal scoring rate is not entirely due to shooting problems. You must know that when he was in the Liverpool youth team, Sterling was a big hit, and he would not be soft at all.

It is true that compared with the top finishers, Sterling still has flaws in shooting skills, but after a long period of targeted training this season, Sterling's scoring rate in the game is still very low, which can only let the coach The team believes that it is Sterling's own psychological problem.

With counseling from a psychiatrist, more frequent shooting practice, or the accumulation of more games later, everyone is actually full of confidence in Sterling's future development prospects.

But now, Sterling's speed and impact on the wing are what Liverpool need most. The lack of shooting skills cannot conceal the fact that Sterling has played well.

However, if Sterling can strengthen his finishing ability, then the change of Liverpool's frontcourt offensive point may be richer but also realistic.

At such a critical moment, an empty goal in a certain sense was placed in front of Sterling, and Sterling was indeed a little nervous.

Although it passed Lloris, it was not an empty goal in the absolute sense. Vertonghen and Dembele's double-chasing speed was extremely fast. When Lloris made a mistake, the two near Lloris immediately He rushed to the goal quickly, and Sterling was actually more outside because he wanted to catch the ball.

The two stood in the area in front of the goal, covering a certain range of shots and putting a certain amount of pressure on Sterling.

However, at that time, the arrow had to be fired, and it was impossible for Sterling to give up such an opportunity, waiting for the ball to be passed to other teammates who plugged in.

With a direct volley, Sterling did not pursue the angle too much, but increased his strength and aimed at the middle of the goal.

First hit the ball within the range of the goal frame. As for whether the opponent player can block it, it depends on God's will.

Facts have proved that Sterling's shot is still wide.

The shot aimed at the middle of the goal, but it deviated two meters and flew to the left side of the goal.

Vertonghen had just run into this position and wanted to complete the block, but everything happened so fast that there was not much time for Vertonghen to react.

Everything happened in an instant. Sterling's powerful volley hit Vertonghen when he only subconsciously blocked the ball.

The pain woke Vertonghen up, but it was too late to make any defensive moves. The ball hit Vertonghen's body, but because of the inertia exerted by Sterling's strong shot, it directly bounced into the goal. A shot inside the goal frame is of course counted as Sterling's goal!

Sterling's goal completely ignited the entire Anfield stadium.

The scorer Sterling, recalling the goal he scored, is also very happy and excited, and suddenly feels that scoring is not that difficult, as long as he dares to kick the ball out, Sterling feels as if Generally enlightened...

Yang Feng, who sent this long pass assist in the backcourt, did not go to the frontcourt to celebrate. The defensive pressure brought by Bell, as well as his own series of defensive moves, and the final long pass all consumed Yang Feng's energy. , At this time, Yang Feng just wanted to take a good rest, take a breath comfortably, and prepare for Tottenham's counterattack.

Carragher, who was not far away, did not step forward to participate in the celebration in the frontcourt, but watched Yang Feng quietly from the side.

Since the arrival of this Chinese boy, Liverpool has the confidence to fight no matter who they face, and whether Liverpool can really recover to the glory of the year may depend on whether everyone, including this Chinese boy, can Can work harder next season.

Perhaps, the decision to retire can be postponed...

Rogers is not only happy with the 3-2 lead at this time, but also that this goal was scored by Sterling at a critical moment. psychological problems, then Sterling's personal growth will definitely be able to better serve the team in the future.

Liverpool will also get better from what they have.

In the final stage, Tottenham launched a Jedi counterattack, no longer worrying about the problem of the back line, and continued to attack and attack again. Bell even started his own personal attack mode, forcibly using speed to eat alone, and when there is an opportunity to cut inside, he will cut across and attack at any time. It is possible to complete a long shot from any position.

However, Yang Feng's supplementary defense and Reina's stable performance have successfully built Liverpool's last line of defense into an impenetrable solid.

The score of 3 to 2 did not change when the final whistle sounded. Liverpool regained the initiative to compete for the Champions League qualification with a strong duel victory!
