Football’s First Defender

Horizontally compare Yang Feng with several other central defenders.

After a training match, Casemiro felt the most that Yang Feng is considered the number one defender in today's football, not without reason.

Comprehensive and excellent defensive ability, so that Yang Feng's defense has no dead ends.

When it's time to go up, go directly and decisively, and when it's time to retreat to the defensive area, hold your own defensive area.

In the game, every time Yang Feng makes a defensive choice, he is basically the optimal solution, which makes the defense line, even in the face of the opponent's world-class offensive players, still be impregnable.

Moreover, Yang Feng's defensive ability on the field surprised Casemiro even more.

Between the flashes of the opponent's attack, even Casemiro himself has to choose a direction to defend with guesswork, trying to use his body to fight, complete the defensive action, and block the opponent's attack.

But Yang Feng's defense, as if he has the ability to predict, will always make the most correct defensive choice based on the judgment of the instantaneous situation.

Either directly complete the double-team with Casemiro in the game, directly complete the closing defense, and block the ball.

Or when Casemiro is rushed by the opponent's offensive player, Yang Feng will appear immediately to make the most timely defensive choice, judge the defensive direction, and directly destroy the ball.

Moreover, Casemiro found that as long as he used his full strength to complete the defense, he used his strongest defensive ability to oppress the opponent without worrying too much.

As long as the greatest defensive pressure on the opponent is formed, even if the opponent barely breaks through successfully, Yang Feng behind him can still complete the supplementary defense and completely restrain the opponent who is at the end of his strength.

Not only Casemiro, who is partnered with Yang Feng, knows how good Yang Feng's defense is, but the Real Madrid teammates in the other team also know how difficult it is to break through Yang Feng's defense.

In the Real Madrid lineup, Isco, the offensive player with the strongest ability to break through and combine the ball, encountered Yang Feng's ruthless targeting in the training game.

As the European golden boy of the year, Isco gained fame as soon as he debuted in Malaga, and was later recruited by Real Madrid.

For an offensive player, Isco's breakthrough ability, ability to combine the ball, including his ability to hit the goal, have all helped him become a star.

But if he wants to go one step further and become a superstar, a player who can decide the outcome of the game on his own, Isco has never taken this last step of improvement.

Either fully develop your finishing ability, especially your long-range shooting ability, like Robben, combine breakthrough and long-range shooting, rely on a longer range, and match your own breakthrough to create a better offense space.

Either it is to make your passing better. In the game, you can correctly choose the timing of the pass and combine your breakthrough and pass.

Not only does he pose a threat, but he can also use breakthroughs to create pass opportunities for teammates.

Because there are too many top scorers in the Real Madrid lineup, Isco still appears more in the midfield position, so several Real Madrid coaches want Isco to develop according to the second model to strengthen himself Excellent passing ability, make the ball for teammates and create a greater threat.

However, although the distance of Isco's passing has improved compared to when he first came to Real Madrid, it is still far from the level of a passing master.

At this time, lower than Real Madrid, if there is a player like Manchester City's David Silva in the lineup, who can not only break through with the ball, but also send exquisite passes, then the overall attack on Real Madrid will take off completely. .

In today's Real Madrid lineup, what is lacking the most is actually the single-point blasting ability.

It is a player who can directly pose a threat with the ball 1v1.

This is the type of player Real Madrid have been lacking.

In order to maintain his peak period, Ronaldo has completely become a scoring machine from a winger player in recent seasons.

Although the position on the court is left forward or left midfielder, Ronaldo's breakthrough ability must be incomparable to when he was young when he gained weight and reduced flexibility.

This is also the reason why although Ronaldo can still do the action of pedaling a bicycle, it can only scare people, but he can no longer do all kinds of tricks easily like in the Manchester United period.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't break through, and Bell is essentially a player who relies on speed. In sports games, it is very good for Bell to run, but I want Bell to attack with the ball and force a breakthrough in a positional battle. Lu completed the bottom pass, which is still barely possible, but it is really impossible to make Bell completely surpass the opponent and disrupt the opponent's defense.

What is barely able to do it may be Modric. His iconic ability to get rid of in situ allows Modric to sometimes rush out on the offensive end and at the moment when he is the most aggressive, letting the opponent's defense line Change.

Afterwards, Magic Flute's own offensive hits, or passes after attracting defensive players, can change the form of the game.

And the strongest breakthrough players who can act as explosive players are actually only Marcelo and Isco.

Marcelo's title as the world's number one left back is not blown out, but relying on his strong offensive ability, Marcelo is still the best left back in the world even though he is strong in offense and weak in defense.

In Real Madrid's game, it doesn't really matter whether there is Ronaldo or the BBC combination. When facing some less powerful opponents, there is no big problem.

But the absence of Marcelo is the worst situation for Real Madrid.

Marcelo is the key to Real Madrid breaking the deadlock on the field, and it is Real Madrid's secret weapon to break the opponent's defense.

Whether Marcelo made a pass from the bottom or made a sudden inside breakthrough, it made the opponent's side defender unable to complete the defense in 1v1.

In the training match, Marcelo was also opposite Yang Feng.

In the game, like Isco, he didn't play a very good offensive effect.

Indulging during the holidays and not recovering to the best physical condition is one aspect, but the defensive tactics chosen by Yang Feng's side are also another aspect.

Marcelo's offense, in the final analysis, lies in his bottom pass, as well as the breakthrough and internal cut, the two-choice offensive method, so that the opponent cannot judge the defense.

But Yang Feng kept telling Danilo to pay attention to defending Marcelo's inside cut. If Marcelo wants to pass the ball from the bottom, he just needs to block the route of the pass on the ground. The high-altitude pass is up to Yang Feng himself. to be responsible for the solution.

Yang Feng is confident in his defense.

In the case of Ronaldo's truce due to injury, Yang Feng and Pepe came to defend the offensive combination of Benzema and Bell, but they could still effectively defend at high altitude.

Marcelo made several crosses from the wing, trying to find Benzema and Bell in front of the goal.

But whether it is the front point or the back point, they can't get past Yang Feng's defense at all.

Yang Feng's defensive position selection is really excellent, and his judgment on the landing point is also very accurate.

Either jam the offensive player, or hold the defensive position, it is completely to make the opponent's front goal contact point invalid and play an effective offensive method.

Coupled with the cooperation of the old and vigorous Pepe, Yang Feng's side's defensive effect in the game was very good.

Marcelo's assist was fruitless, and Isco's breakthrough was either directly destroyed by the supplementary defense when he completed the breakthrough, or when Isco wanted to pass the ball, he was blocked by Yang Feng and directly completed the interception .

As for Yang Feng's defensive ability, Marcelo and Isco, who acted as explosive points, played uncomfortable, and normal midfield passers were also uncomfortable.

Maybe the passing of the through ball was almost affected, but the high ball and half high ball were too much affected by Yang Feng, which seriously affected the fluency of the team's offense.

After the training match, Yang Feng's defense was also recognized by the opponent's offensive players.

After all, I am so strong, and I have been defended badly by Yang Feng, so other teams must be more defensively suppressed?
