Football’s First Defender

"Liverpool sent this corner kick, it was indeed a tactical corner kick, Riera sent the ball to Gerrard who responded to the wing!"

"Liverpool is still unwilling to compete with Chelsea's defensive lineup for a high ball in the penalty area, confront it head-on!"

"Every time you need to conduct a pass, and then try to see if there is a chance, pass the ball into the penalty area, and create a greater threat!"

"This time, Gerrard did not choose to sweep the ball directly into the penalty area, but transferred the ball to the center again, ready to reorganize an attack!"

Seeing that the Liverpool players once again "confessed"! Some of Chelsea's players can only jump out according to the established defensive tactics to prevent the Liverpool players from taking advantage of the time when the Chelsea players retreat to defend the corner kick and directly hit the goal. Although due to the large number of Chelsea in the penalty area, there is a high probability that the long-range shots will be blocked by Chelsea players with their bodies, but if there is an accident in the process, it will change the direction of the goal instead, that would be bad!

So simply let most of the players run out, first to clear Cech's field of vision, so that Cech can have time to observe and prepare, and secondly, not to give Liverpool players too many chances to hit the goal!

Gerrard passes the ball to Harvey Alonso in the middle position! Although Alonso really wanted to step forward and take a long shot, he tried a lot of long shots today, but his feet were not hard enough, and the opponent's goalkeeper Petr Cech has always performed very well. At the critical moment, Alonso didn't want to make a seemingly meaningless "spray"!

However, Harvey Alonso, who was in charge of the midfield scheduling, suddenly discovered that he was always in the penalty area, cooperated with Torres, and occupied the back position. This time, in the corner kick tactics, he secretly retreated. After a few steps, he withdrew to the edge of the penalty area, and Terry, who was in charge of defending him, failed to follow up in the chaotic process of his own players throwing out!

This is definitely a good opportunity for Liverpool!

"Harvey Alonso, received the pass from Gerrard steadily, and then suddenly sent the ball hard, stuffing the ball near the Chelsea penalty area line!"

"Who will receive the pass?"

"Kit!"

"It's on the penalty area line at this time, ready to catch the ball!"

"This ball!"

"Terry is missing! He is still a few steps away from Dirk!"

At the moment when Harvey Alonso passed the ball, Terry looked along the trajectory of the pass and felt that something was wrong. For this ball, he didn't even notice the position of Dirk. !

Perhaps Terry has always regarded the inside of the penalty area as his own defensive range, ignoring the possibility that Dirk Dirk will run to the outside of the penalty area to catch the ball!

Of course, there are usually enough defenders in each position of Chelsea. Now that Dirk Dirk is out of the penalty area, there will naturally be Chelsea midfielders to stop him!

However, it was the stage of defending Liverpool's corner just now. When the Chelsea players rushed to the defensive position outside the penalty area, the players all rushed to their respective defenders. At this time, no one really has the time to control Cue. special!

When Terry saw the ball, he had no choice but to move forward quickly, hoping to stop him!

However, according to Dirk, he is also a Dutchman with bursting offensive attributes! After receiving the ball, his ability to adjust is excellent, and the action is completed extremely fast, giving Terry no chance to make up for his mistakes!

"Dukiter directly stopped the ball and pulled the ball, took a step into the penalty area, and then directly hit the goal on the right side of the penalty area!"

"This foot is so strong!"

For Dirk himself, although he may not have scored too many goals this entire season, it is because he does not have enough status in Liverpool's tactics, and more often he acts as a trump card's wingman. ! When playing double forwards, it is to help Torres contain the defenders. When playing single forwards, it is to act as a right-sided player, open up space for Torres, and pass the ball!

But in fact, as a fairly good shooter, Dirk's shooting skills are beyond doubt.

It is important to know that before moving to Liverpool, in the Eredivisie League, he had scored 20+ goals in a single season for three consecutive seasons. Even in the two seasons he came to Liverpool, he was limited by tactical requirements. The number of goals is not as many as in the previous seasons in the Eredivisie, but about 10 goals per season are still guaranteed!

It is conceivable that with almost no interference from defensive players, the quality of Dirk's shots is definitely not low!

"A powerful volley, 45 degrees from the right, hit a diagonal, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!"

"Cech, after moving in small steps, take off with all your strength and jump sideways!"

"But the goal kick was too fast, and Cech didn't catch it!"

"This ball!"

"It's a hair's breadth away!"

"It almost flew out against the pillar, and Chelsea escaped unharmed!"

"Dukiter pursued the angle too much with his kick. Although he escaped Petr Cech's save, he still missed the goal slightly!"

Except for goalkeeper Petr Cech, the person most afraid of scoring this goal may be Terry who lost his defender. Fortunately, this goal was not scored in the end. Terry's hanging heart finally fell, and he made himself even stronger. Concentrate, we must not make such omissions again!

Liverpool's offensive wave after wave, although facing Chelsea's defense that is at its peak most of the time, Liverpool seldom get excellent chances to hit the goal, and more can only choose a little helpless long shot to create The number of times you hit the door, strive for blind cats to blindfold dead mice!

However, the Liverpool players are not discouraged, and are still sparing no effort to try various offensive methods. The purpose is to score goals again at home!

But constant long-range attempts, sometimes it is really possible to bring unexpected surprises!

After all, in football, sometimes, luck is also a manifestation of strength!

"Xavi Alonso, after taking the ball in the middle, he chose a long shot again!"

"It is true that Chelsea's defensive formation is maintained too well at this stage. Liverpool's interspersed offense has stagnated under Chelsea's iron wall. After Xavi Alonso searched for the pass target to no avail, he could only choose himself. foot!"

"The quality of this long-range shot is not bad, but the angle of the shot is not well adjusted, isn't it a little bit right?"

Today's Cech, on the defensive end, the most common way to hit the opponent is the long-range shots of the Liverpool players. Cech's previous saves are very good! It's just that Cech this time was indeed affected by some home atmosphere in the process of receiving the ball!

Under the huge noise interference at the scene, coupled with Xavi Alonso's shot, during the flight, it seemed that due to the strong rotation, there was a slight arc that caused the flight trajectory to deviate. Cech obviously felt that he needed to change the shot. When it is a golfer type, the reaction is a bit slow!

"Boom!"

Because Cech moved to the position by himself and had a better stance, this long-range shot must not be able to score a goal, but Cech's own receiver has not been adjusted to the best. Facing Harvey Alonso's Hitting the door with full strength, it is obvious that I can't control it!

"Let's go! Cech actually made a mistake during the game and let go!"

"The ball bounced back to the penalty area, and there was chaos in the penalty area!"

Yang Feng had glanced at Xavi Alonso's long-range shot, and compared it with Petr Cech who was moving from the corner of his eye. He already thought that there was no big threat. Cech should have secured the ball with a high probability!

However, fortunately, Yang Feng has always belonged to the kind of player who is cautious and not lazy in everything. Judgment is judgment. Yang Feng has always been a person who will do what he can and do his best on the defensive end!

So Yang Feng still maintains his own vigilance and his defense against Torres!

The moment Cech let go, Yang Feng immediately reacted and wanted to step forward to make a rescue!

However, Torres's reaction is also not slow, perhaps this is the smell of a striker, in handling such unexpected opportunities, there is no passing trajectory to rely on, simply competing with the reaction speed of players, the body's instantaneous explosive power, even Even Yang Feng is still at a natural disadvantage!

"Torres! Like a cheetah, jump forward!"

"Fill shot!"

"Torres! During the direct acceleration process, he leaned back halfway and stretched out his feet to complete the stabbing shot!"

"Liverpool's follow-up shot! Fly to the bottom right corner of the goal!"

"Ah! Yang Feng!"

"When Cech made a sideways save but couldn't do anything about the ground ball in the left hand area, Yang Feng rushed out from the other side!"

Although Yang Feng was at a disadvantage in the speed competition with Torres, because of the pure reaction speed and the instant start acceleration, he was unable to successfully tackle the block when Torres finished stabbing!

But Yang Feng has been in a very sober state!

Seeing that Cech was on the right side of the goal in order to block the long shot, so the right half of the goal is almost in a safe state for Cech because of his own position. , as a top shooter, Torres will subconsciously choose to go to the empty space where Petr Cech stands, and aim at the huge empty space on the left hand side to hit the goal. This is what Yang Feng needs to do at this time!

Without slowing down, Yang Feng ran straight to the post where Cech's left hand was free. When Torres threw his body out and forcibly touched the football that Cech had let go with his toes, Yang Feng continued to move forward. And fling yourself out, gliding on the turf, hoping to complete the block!

Fortunately, Torres did not use too much force in this kick. Although the angle was tricky, he went directly to the lower left corner of the goal. Cech himself was helpless at such a close range, but it also gave Yang Feng a clearance. Chance!

"During the acceleration process, directly lower the center of gravity and slide to the ground, Yang Feng! It's almost on the goal line, and the clearance is completed!"

"Chelsea's hero! Thanks to Yang Feng's clearance on the goal line, Chelsea still maintains the lead in the away game!"

Young man, it's okay to wake up in the middle of the night to watch Arsenal!
