Football’s First Defender

"When Ivanovic finished the header, Reina had already moved quickly to his right, and also made a side attack!"

"But firstly, the position of the header this time is a bit close to the goal, and secondly, it is also Ivanovic's header this time, because the defensive interference is limited, and the strength and angle of the ejected football are not enough. Excellent!"

"Reina's hasty side attack did not touch the football heading towards the lower left corner of the goal!"

"Chelsea, in the 34th minute of the first half, Ivanovic, the surprise player who started Hiddink, successfully competed for the header in a corner kick and equalized the score with a header!"

The moment Ivanovic completed his header and the ball entered the goal! Hiddink, who had been walking around the sidelines with his eyes fixed on Liverpool's goal, also jumped up excitedly! For the head coach, is there anything happier than making special personnel adjustments and receiving excellent results in the game!

Hiddink's replacement of the position of right back showed his excellent coaching ability, understanding of players, and strong confidence in tactical selection!

Before the first half of the game was over, Chelsea had already tied the score away at Anfield!

Thousands of Chelsea fans who accompanied the team on the expedition burst into shouts at the moment Ivanovic scored a header, even overwhelming the voices of tens of thousands of spectators at home!

Chelsea not only equalized the big score, but also scored a valuable away goal!

Benitez also understood that Hiddink, who was standing not far away, planned to replace Ivanovic in this game. Obviously, Hiddink just wanted to target Liverpool's weakness in defending high-altitude balls and use set kicks to beat his team!

Then it depends on whether Liverpool's targeted attack on Chelsea's tall players is effective, or whether Chelsea once again rely on set kicks to severely damage Liverpool's defense!

The two sides will open their posture in the following games, each playing their own way, to see who plays better and who can seize the offensive opportunity better!

In terms of tactics, the two teams have their own characteristics and their own persistence. However, if they want to counter their opponents, this game is due to the problem of the starting players, and there is no corresponding personnel to adjust!

It can be said that whether it is Benitez or Hiddink, they both choose to insist on self-centeredness. It depends on the tactics of the two, which one can be better played by the players and achieve the desired effect of the head coach!

It's just that, in the final stage before the end of halftime, Chelsea must have the advantage, whether it is the accumulation of physical fitness or the increase in momentum brought about by the equalizer just now!

Hiddink was directly on the sidelines and waved his hand, signaling the team to seize the time to attack!

"After Chelsea equalized, the offensive continued unabated and continued to attack Liverpool!"

"And Liverpool, who were still in the lead at the beginning, were in a bit of a panic at the end of the first half! Tired of dealing with Chelsea's attack!"

"Liverpool now have to defend in their own half and get through this period of time!"

"Barack took the ball in the midfield, facing Lucas who was defending him, Ballack used his strong body to firmly protect the football under his feet, and did not give Lucas a chance to grab the ball!"

"Barack even took the initiative to find physical confrontation, using his advantages in physical confrontation to squeeze out space for the ball!"

"Lukas is very helpless. Facing the world-class midfielder Ballack and the experienced German, Lucas seems to have no choice! Ballack relies on his physical advantage in confrontation, although he can't get past Lukas. Cass, but rolling out an undisturbed passing line is still possible!"

"Barack, lean on Lucas and pass a low pass into the penalty area!"

"Suddenly swinging the leg, passing the ball, this pass is extremely penetrating, and the other Liverpool midfielders have no time to react, and the ball has already flown past their feet!"

"Drogba in the penalty area is fighting with Carraghera for a good position!"

Carragher saw that this pass was going in front of Drogba's path, so he could only pull Drogba harder!

With the head referee in this game, which is close to the penalty scale of the Premier League referee, Carragher believes that his excessive action should not be a major problem!

Seeing that Drogba was pulled by Carragher, which limited the starting speed, whether it was Hiddink on the sidelines or some Chelsea players on the field, they all raised their hands to protest loudly!

However, for the referee in this game, ensuring the smoothness of the game, making this Premier League civil war showdown good, and tolerating some fouls are all minor problems!

Moreover, the referee believes that these two teams have also adapted to the scale of this confrontation, so they did not respond to the protests of the Chelsea players!

To be honest, Carragher does have obvious pulling movements, but small fouls of this level seem to be commonplace in the Premier League!

Anyway, Drogba, although he feels that he can't go full speed, but hasn't this level of confrontation been experienced in Chelsea these years? to football!

After all, Drogba is the "beast", and Carragher is alone. In the end, he still couldn't stop Drogba from advancing. angle!

Because Drogba moved diagonally from the right to the front left to receive the ball, after receiving Ballack's pass, Drogba could only take advantage of the trend and complete a direct hit with his left foot because he wanted to prevent Carragher behind him from catching up and interfering. Door!

The left foot is also powerful and low shot. As one of the best strikers in world football, Drogba's shooting skills are absolutely outstanding!

However, for Drogba today, Reina is his nightmare. Facing this is almost Drogba's second one-handed goal, Reina continued to maintain his excellent state!

Faced with Drogba's sudden low shot, Reina simply sat down on the ground, forced a split, and blocked Drogba's shot again with his legs!

"Drogba's left-footed low shot was once again resolved by Reina. Drogba missed two good chances in the first half. On the other hand, it also proved Reina's brave performance in this game!"

The pace of the game is very fast. After all, it is a duel between teams of the same level. Even if the two sides will exert their strength at different time periods according to their respective tactics, to occupy the advantage on the field and grasp the absolute initiative for a period of time!

But a football game is not a turn-based game. Occasionally, accidents will cause the offensive and defensive sides to be out of position, and may cause a huge reversal!

In the process of Chelsea leading the attack, Liverpool's players did not blindly shrink their defense. Among the several frontcourt players, they have been holding back and preparing to give Chelsea a fatal blow!

In the process of transferring the ball to the right side of Chelsea, because Lampard's passing power was a bit strong, the ball was directly intercepted by Liverpool's left back Aurelio!

Aurelio, dribbled the ball directly, and pushed forward quickly on the left to counterattack!

The sudden counterattack opportunity instantly ignited the enthusiasm of Liverpool fans!

Due to being suppressed by Chelsea during this period of time, the Anfield fans are a little silent! Now, the audience cheers thunderously!

"Aurelio! At full speed!"

"Ivanovic, wanted to make a foul to stop Aurelio's progress, but Aurelio directly passed the ball and avoided Ivanovic! Even though Ivanovic had obvious pull Action, but the referee indicated that it is favorable to attack!"

"Aurelio, after dribbling the ball for most of the time, at a position close to Chelsea's 30-meter line, because Yang Feng was blocking in front, he didn't choose to continue dribbling forward, but directly chose to pass the ball diagonally into the penalty area among!"

"Because there is no interference from defensive players, Aurelio's pass is very skillful. It happens to be a position where goalkeeper Petr Cech cannot attack, but it is very suitable for Torres to sprint to get the ball!"

"Torres is accelerating at full speed, rushing to the point where the ball landed!"

Torres ran diagonally to the left from the middle position! To chase this ball!

And Yang Feng, who had rushed to the right side of his own defense area to block Aurelio's advance, turned around and ran towards his own restricted area, from left to right!

This is a direct contest between Yang Feng and Torres, a contest of speed and landing point!

For this kind of world-class striker, Yang Feng seldom sees small problems such as misjudgment of placements or mistakes in stopping the ball, so instead of waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, it is better to rely on himself and directly control the opponent's attack. Dissolve!

Although in Yang Feng's instant judgment, this ball is really a 50-50 chance, and both himself and Torres have the opportunity to fight for this spot!

But at such an intense and tense moment, Yang Feng could no longer think of a perfect solution!

He needs to fight! Bet yourself that you can grab this spot directly!

"Yang Feng is desperately chasing back!"

"Torres on the other side is also rushing to the landing point at full speed!"

"Terry is still following Torres, but he can't catch up!"

"With the advance of Aurelio's pass, Terry should not be able to catch up with the defense!"

"Now we can only rely on Yang Feng and goalkeeper Petr Cech!"

Yang Feng was running at full speed, but the first half of the game also entered the final stage. Yang Feng's own physical strength was also consumed a lot in the first half. During the running process, Yang Feng obviously felt that his speed had dropped a bit as expected!

"It's too late!" Yang Feng estimated the time in his mind, and the location of the landing point, so he might really be too late!

And while running, his eyes were aimed at Torres who was also sprinting on the right side. It was obvious that Torres was even shorter from the landing point!

"Must not let Torres get the ball and get a one-handed chance!"

"Fight!"

"Taking risks is better than being unloaded by Torres directly!"

Yang Feng finally decided to take a risk! Anyway, I should be unable to control the landing point, so I will be a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

"Yang Feng! Take off?"

The narrators were stunned!

Yang Feng, in the process of running at full speed, turned his back to the football, took advantage of the inertia of running, jumped forward, and felt like flying forward!

"This ball!"

Amidst the dumbfoundedness of all the fans watching the live broadcast, Yang Feng turned his back to the incoming ball, completed the jump, and when he reached the highest point of the jump, Aurelio's oblique long pass fell directly in front of Yang Feng during the falling process. !

For Yang Feng in the air, he had no room to use his strength at the moment of the ball, so naturally he couldn't clear the ball directly, but as long as he touched the football and changed the position of the ball, the defense this time was actually complete. If it succeeds, the teammates behind will naturally use the time they have won to complete the next defensive task!

"Yang Feng, with his back to the ball, took off with all his strength and hit the ball! My God!"

"Yang Feng, what kind of judgment ability is this!"

"Facing the landing point of the ball, keep the fastest speed, and jump forward. In order to catch up with the speed and ensure the height of the jump, I didn't even look back. In the end, I succeeded, and I almost touched the football!"

"Oh My God!"

"Yang Feng's action! It's amazing!"

Torres, who was about to reach the landing point, saw Yang Feng's unconventional, non-human rescue action at the closest position to Yang Feng!

A siege movement that maximizes body control and combines excellent judgment and anticipation!

In Torres' life, during the attack, he has never seen a defender complete such a clearance action!

I don't know if this goal was due to luck or Yang Feng's strength!

However, this time, Yang Feng did succeed!

Torres was the first to run to the landing point, but the ball was pushed by Yang Feng, which deviated from the original trajectory of the landing point!

During the period when Torres paused and was surprised by Yang Feng's clearance, Terry had successfully caught up with Torres and regained his defensive position!

Even though Yang Feng's subsequent landing was a little staggered, and even though Torres still got the second landing point, the best chance to score is gone!

Facing Terry's defense, and Yang Feng also quickly defended after regaining his footing, Torres had no choice but to forcefully hit the goal!

But it was blocked by Terry's direct stretching of his leg. Liverpool's excellent counterattack opportunity was destroyed just like that, and Yang Feng should be the first!

Anfield's on-site signal production team immediately responded to Yang Feng's clearance from multiple cameras and multiple angles!

After running with his back, in order to advance faster, Yang Feng did not even look back at the whole process. Yang Feng has been accelerating with all his strength, accelerating, and then he took off with all his strength, just like the movement of dunking and flying in the NBA. Kinetic energy, like gliding ahead! Like the flying man Jordan, when Yang Feng was gliding, the football flying behind his head fell in a parabola. When Yang Feng reached the position close to the highest point of take-off, the football just landed obliquely above Yang Feng! Yang Feng raised his head forward and touched the football, which changed the trajectory of the ball and made Torres return without success!
