Football’s First Defender

On the night of Istanbul four years ago, in the UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool was conceded 3 goals by AC Milan in the first half. At the end of the half, everyone sentenced the Liverpool team, which was somewhat defeated in the first half. death penalty!

However, in the second half, the "Red Army" players went down to earth, and in an instant, they evened out the three-goal gap, and finally succeeded in winning the fifth "Big Ears" Cup in team history, creating a record in the history of the Champions League. Eternal reverse miracle battle!

Now, it is still three goals behind, but it is not at a neutral ground at this time, but at Stamford Bridge, which is full of shouts from away fans. Germany, but every member of the "Red Army" may not be willing to fail like this!

This is also a classic battle that is destined to be recorded in the history of the Champions League. The game was ups and downs, from Liverpool leading by two goals, to Chelsea scoring three goals in a row to overtake the score. In the last ten minutes, Benitez's substitution The number of places will determine the direction of Liverpool's future games!

"In the final stage of the game, Benitez chose to replace the forward Torres, who performed poorly in this game, and replaced him with the young player Ngog who is more suitable for rushing to the high point!"

"In this game, Torres, the core of Liverpool's frontcourt, got very few good opportunities under the defense of Chelsea's central defender Yang Feng. Although he hit the goal a few times, the threat he caused was really limited!"

"At the last moment of the game, Liverpool seemed to be planning to restore the traditional English team's offensive mode, and directly passed a long pass. After all, the game time is limited. At this special moment, Liverpool may not have enough time. It’s time to patiently carry out some complex tactical coordination! They can only choose to use some simple tactics to strive for quick goals!”

For the Chelsea players holding a three-goal lead, even if it is Yang Feng, at this time, although he is not completely relaxed and celebrating to the point where he can't play football, it is not in line with human nature to say that he has no slack mentality!

As far as Yang Feng himself is concerned, in this game, he directly defended his corresponding defender, Liverpool's ace striker Torres, off the field. This is an achievement!

Throughout the game, Yang Feng did not give Torres a chance to threaten the goal. Although he did not say that Torres was directly defended and disappeared, but in terms of the overall effect, Yang Feng alone succeeded in pairing himself with Torres, providing a great support for Chelsea. The defensive system relieved the huge pressure!

For the current Yang Feng, if he said that he didn't feel at ease in his heart, that would be a lie. Torres, that was the top striker who liked watching the Premier League when he was in college!

Although Torres turned into an "iron guard" after moving to Chelsea in the next few years, he became an effective part of Chelsea's defense. When he was belittled by countless people, Yang Feng remembered arguing with his college roommates, thinking that it was because of Chelsea's tactics that Torres could not play his best. Torres was not in his favorite position at all, and Chelsea was like Liverpool. Full support! It's understandable to play poorly. After returning to Atletico Madrid, even though he is no longer at the peak age, Torres has regained his new life in Atletico Madrid, which can prove that a suitable tactic is the most important thing for Torres!

But now, Yang Feng himself, a melon-eating crowd who could only watch Torres in front of the TV in the Premier League, can fight against Torres head-on on the court. Yang Feng feels that his journey of rebirth is a miracle!

Now, I played well in this game again, participated in the game, became a witness of the game, and competed with many players who I admired before! Now not only has he proved Yang Feng's own strength, but he has also helped the team almost enter the semi-finals of the Champions League. Yang Feng will be able to face stronger opponents on a higher stage in the future!

However, under the relaxed state of mind of the Chelsea players, who were obviously ready to celebrate after the game, the Liverpool players started their last desperate fight before the end of the game!

"Abeloa, on the right side of his own half, directly made a long pass forward, looking for his teammates in the Chelsea penalty area! After 80 minutes of the game, Liverpool directly chose the simplest method, hoping to get Was it a surprise?"

"Young player Ngog! He was full of momentum when he came on the field! He and Dirk both ran towards this spot!"

Yang Feng is also running towards the landing point of the pass. Perhaps for Yang Feng, this ball definitely has enough time for Yang Feng to destroy it perfectly! However, that was under the condition of no one interfering!

Yang Feng, who came to Alex's defense area from his own defense area, had to face a very real problem, that is, Dirk Dirk was in front of him, and consciously blocked Yang Feng's advance route!

Relying on the height and weight of Dirk, although Yang Feng does not suffer in physical confrontation, he will definitely not be able to win as easily as he did against Torres!

In order to avoid fouls in the penalty area, Yang Feng can only engage in regular physical confrontation with Dirk. Therefore, under the interference restrictions of Dirk, the ball can only be handed over to Alex, who originally occupies a better defensive position. Head the ball!

"Engog, who just played with plenty of physical strength! Faced with the long pass from Arveiroa, he took off slightly backwards, and he was able to overwhelm Alex and successfully competed for this landing point!"

"Ngog headed the ball to Benayoun near the penalty area!"

"Benayoun unloads the pass! But in front of him, there are blue Chelsea players!"

"Facing Ashley Cole's rush! Benayoun pulled the ball and turned around to complete the dodge!"

"But after turning around, there are still two people in front of him, Barack and Essien, standing on the line of the penalty area, ready to block!"

At this time, Ballack took advantage of Benayoun's inertia to move forward after turning around, and went straight up to steal the ball! Benayoun, who can no longer control his body to perform artificial movements again, has not many choices at this time!

"Benayoun! At the critical moment, stop the ball directly and force it, and then pass the ball back!"

"Lucas is right behind Benayoun. After catching the ball directly, although the distance is far away, there is no interference from Chelsea's defenders around!"

"Bend your bow and set an arrow! One long shot!"

"This shot hit Chelsea Essien! There was a refraction!"

Although Essien's hands were close to his thighs, he didn't make any extra movements. He didn't want to be in the penalty area because he opened his arms to send a penalty kick. Just like this, he faced the incoming ball upright, but Essien was still slow in moving. The ball was shot by Lucas's half-high ball and hit directly on the thigh after the jump, making the original go straight to the right side of the goal. When he hit the goal, there was a rebound refraction to the left!

"GOAL!"

"The ball went in! Lucas' long shot! Hit Essien's body, and there was a refraction! Cech couldn't react in time. At this time, he could no longer save to his right side!"

"Lucas! With this slightly lucky goal, he scored another goal for Liverpool!"

"Ngog played his role on the offensive end as soon as he came on the field. Now the game time is only 81 minutes! Liverpool counts injury time, there are more than 10 minutes, they only need to score two more goals , and miracles can be created!"

"Chelsea, in the last round of the Premier League, led by 4 goals in the second half, but Bolton scored 3 goals in 10 minutes, almost completing the comeback! This time, it will not let Liverpool create a miracle here again. !"

"In a blink of an eye, the 3-goal lead turned into 2 goals. No, it was only 1 and a half goals! Liverpool scored 2 more goals. Because of the away goal advantage, Chelsea will be eliminated!"

"Now, Chelsea's players must not make any more mistakes. They must hold their advantage in the final stage of the game!"

On the professional arena, sometimes when you relax, you want to tense up again and return to a normal game state, which can't be done in a blink of an eye!

Even the Chelsea players know that they need to concentrate at this time and just play the defense they are best at and most familiar with. However, the Liverpool players did not give them time to recover from the game! Under the urging of the end time of the whole game, Liverpool regained their spirits. The players who saw hope could not afford to waste a minute and a second!

"Chelsea's players are a bit out of shape now. Lampard's pass did not reach Anelka's feet. Under Aurelio's defense, Anelka did not receive this pass. A pass, a change of possession, a chance for Liverpool to fight back!"

"After unsuccessfully looking for a breakthrough on the left, Aurelio diverted the ball with a long pass and passed it to Abeloa on the right!"

"This time, Arbeloa was on the right side near the penalty area, and made a 45-degree cross, which went directly to the goal!"

After Torres left the field, Yang Feng has been facing the physical confrontation with Dirk, who is much stronger than Torres! For this ball, Yang Feng was only able to resist Dirk Dirk in a physical confrontation, ensuring that the highest point in Liverpool's penalty area could not get the ball's landing point, but for Aveiroa's pass, Yang Feng was really I don't have the ability to complete the summit competition anymore!

"Benayoun! Liverpool's third attack point, Benayoun, who had previously penetrated into the penalty area, actually fought for this point under Essien's defense. Although under Essien's interference, Benayoun could not directly Finished the goal, but Benayoun still used the top of his head to swipe the ball out of the penalty area!"

"Harvey Alonso! Come and hit the goal directly?"

"Pass the ball! Facing Lampard who jumped up to defend, Alonso quickly re-stuffed the ball to the left!"

"It's also the new Riera! This time in the 1v1 process with Ivanovic on the left, because of the obvious physical advantage, he directly used his speed to win!"

"Rierra! The breakthrough has passed! There is plenty of space for the pass!"

"One and a half high balls directly! Passed into the small penalty area!"

This ball! Yang Feng was just forced to defend Benayoun who came to the front point, and Benayoun opened up a step forward a little bit. Facing the pass to the back point, Yang Feng was powerless!

But at this time, in the small penalty area, counting Yang Feng, there were a total of five Chelsea players lined up at the moment of Riera's pass, and the Liverpool players only included Dirk Dirk and Ngog. People, prepare to fight for points in the small penalty area!

But Riera's pass is really good. Since it is passed close to the left side of the penalty area, the distance of the pass is not long, with a slight arc, and the speed of the ball is not too fast, but Not too slow, the reaction time left for the Chelsea players is not very long,

Yang Feng, Ballack, and Essien did not have the chance to take off and complete the header for 3 consecutive players! The ball was passed directly to the back point!

A short-distance run-up to Dirk directly, jumped up the header! Under the defense of Alex and Ashley Cole, Didier still successfully competed for the header by virtue of his height! And Cech, at this moment, did not react, did not attack, still standing above the goal line, ready to defend!

"Dukiter, under the defense of two Chelsea players, directly run up and take off!"

"Heading to the top!"

"GOAL!"

"Duit! Goal! Liverpool are leading 4-3, the total score is 5-6, the big score between the two teams is now only one goal away! Liverpool! They are only one goal away, and they can complete a shocking comeback in the away game ! Now the game time is only 83 minutes, Liverpool just scored 2 goals in 3 minutes! Now! They have 10 minutes to give them another miracle in the Champions League!"

"Just one goal away, Liverpool may complete another big reversal! Could it be that the miracle of Istanbul will be staged at Stamford Bridge this time? Will Liverpool use their tenacious fighting spirit to create another miracle?"

Within 3 minutes of the game, a huge change occurred because of Liverpool's two goals in a row!

When the two sides are only one goal away from advancing, whether it is Hiddink who was smiling before or Benitez who has been frowning, they are all nervously watching the development of the situation on the field!

Especially Hiddink, at this time, he can't wait to go to the field and wake up his players. He would never have imagined that with a three-goal lead, the team would collapse in the last 10 minutes!

This is the best defensive Chelsea in Europe, and they conceded 2 goals in a row within 3 minutes, giving Liverpool the hope of creating a miracle! Hiddink is very tired!

Now he can only bring his mentality back to the game, to experience the excitement on the court with the players!

But perhaps what Hiddink did right at this time was not to make rash substitutions, but to make adjustments! Hiddink understands that it was a problem with the mentality of the entire team before, rather than a problem with one individual. Substitution at this time will not only fail to change the mentality of everyone in the game, but it may also cause the lineup to be offline, and give the opponent more Big opportunity! Hiddink chose to believe in his own players on the field at this time!
