Football’s First Defender

Fortunately, the score was still 0-0. Cech's brave performance kept Chelsea's door open!

Yang Feng ran back and prepared to defend the corner kick. Terry also stepped forward and told Yang Feng that he just fouled and dragged Eto'o off!

As Yang Feng's senior, Terry also knew that this little brother, in other aspects, even though he was young, he had the demeanor of a general, and his judgment was extremely accurate, like an old deep-fried central defender!

Only when there is a need to make reasonable fouls during the game, Yang Feng will show his rookie side!

This time, in such a critical game, it was almost because of Yang Feng himself that he made a big mistake in the defense. Terry felt that this should give Yang Feng enough experience and lessons, so that Yang Feng could better improve himself in the on-field game. determination!

"Barça's corner chance!"

"This time it's Harvey himself serving!"

"Peak!"

"Take a step back, dodge Drogba's defense, and head back slightly!"

For this ball, although Pique finally hit the football, in fact, one is that the retreat distance is not enough, and some people lean back and jump to force the ball, and the other is that it is too far from the goal! So although Pique hit the football, he also wanted to use a trick to push a parabola to create a greater threat of hitting the goal, but the final result was that he just directly pushed the ball a lot higher and flew directly out of the bottom line!

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Hiddink also made his first substitution of the game! To everyone's surprise, Hiddink chose to replace Lampard with Belletti!

Because of the excellent defensive interception capabilities of Essien and Mikel, Chelsea's central defense is now more than capable!

What Hiddink is most worried about may be his own defense line on the side. Not only Ivanovic's side, but even Bosingwa's side may be broken through by Messi using his personal ability and be used as a breakthrough!

The double central defenders have to defend Eto'o, and they must always beware of Barcelona's frontcourt offensive players switching back and forth! Hiddink sensitively felt that the four-back lineup may not be able to completely stop Barcelona's onslaught in the final stage!

With the defense in the middle clearly dominant, Hiddink thought it was a must to replace Lampard, who might be the weakest defensive player, and Belletti to strengthen the final defense line!

Of course, Chelsea's lineup will indeed change, but this five-back lineup has also been rehearsed recently. Hiddink believes that his players can continue to complete defensive tasks!

Originally, Hiddink was still struggling before the substitution, but when he saw that Barcelona was preparing to replace Bojan, Guardiola had been giving orders to Bojan, and it seemed that he planned to strengthen the side attack. Hiddink decisively chose to replace Belletti in advance. This defender who can be both wide and central, came to fill the space around the full-backs, and also allowed Chelsea to get familiar with the defensive mode of the five-back earlier!

With Belletti's speed and flexibility, coupled with Yang Feng's excellent defensive ability, Hiddink believes that Barcelona's strong attack on the wing, not to mention returning in vain, will definitely be less threatening than the current defensive lineup!

Hiddink's first substitution did not change Guardiola's tactical attitude. Guardiola continued to let Bojan wait on the sidelines, waiting for the time he thought was appropriate before going on the field!

"Chelsea replaced a central defender in the final stage of the game, replacing Lampard who is an offensive midfielder. The attitude of defending at the last moment is very obvious!"

In fact, Lampard really doesn't have much room to play on the offensive end in this game!

Due to Chelsea's tactics, even if Lampard has a chance to get the ball, he will choose to go directly to Drogba, and he cannot make too many adjustments, and he also has his own personal straight forward attack!

Defense! Keep the tie! It is the ultimate goal of Chelsea at Camp Nou! There are many players who have sacrificed their offensive attributes for this collective goal! Now everything is based on the collective honor of the team!

With the increase of defensive end personnel! Barcelona has just launched an aggressive attack, and there is a tendency to stagnate again!

Although the recovery speed on Ivanovic's side is flawed, Bosingwa can't keep up with Messi's speed and frequency!

But beside the two full-backs, one is the Brazilian Belletti and the other is the Chinese central defender Yang Feng! The mobility and defensive ability of the two are excellent. One person may not be able to limit Barcelona's attackers, but when two people work together, they can completely limit Barcelona's personal attack on the wing!

Barcelona can only continue to insist on their constant pass and control tactics in the midfield, hoping that there will be players who can use running in the frontcourt to run out an opportunity for effective offense!

Messi, Eto'o, and Henry have completely blurred their concept of position!

Not only the left, right, middle and third lanes frequently change positions, or attack forward, or retreat to catch the ball, they have been seeking to open up Chelsea's defensive space!

Not to mention, hard work pays off, Chelsea's defenders are not artificial intelligence after all, unable to take care of all defensive directions, and finally let Barcelona run a chance!

"Xavi passes the ball to Iniesta from close range!"

"Iniesta took only one step of the ball. Before Mikel came up to block it, he passed it straight through and passed it to Henry who was in the middle and retreated to meet him!"

In order to gain space to catch the ball, Henry came to a position close to the middle circle, which is still some distance away from the dangerous area of ​​the penalty area!

But as Henry took the ball, Ballack and Belletti, one behind the other, stepped forward to form a double-team!

"Henry! After catching the ball, turn around and accelerate forward! Get rid of Barack!"

"Pass the ball!"

"Shove straight with one foot, look for Eto'o who is going forward left and diagonally forward!"

Henry also felt the defensive threat around him, and without any hesitation, he directly handed over the ball at his feet!

Maybe when he was at Arsenal, the King of Highbury at the time, he would directly try to take the ball and break through. He would find a way to break through Belletti's defense by himself.

During his time in Barcelona, ​​for his pursuit of the Champions League, Henry is also making constant changes and concessions, especially when faced with some offensive opportunities, Henry has also become "willing to pass the ball" , Today's Henry is no longer the pure shooter he was back then. Most of the time, he will follow the tactics to feed and pass the ball to Barcelona's more important attackers!

Of course, if there is a loss, there must be a gain. If the ball is played reasonably, sometimes there will be different opportunities in front of the players!

"Eto'o, show your speed!"

"Catch Henry's through ball quickly!"

"Kick out, jump straight past Ivanovic's slider!"

"Yang Feng! He came from the middle again to stop Eto'o from moving forward!"

"Eto'o, make an emergency stop, turn around and control the ball first!"

Just like Yang Feng's time before, facing this kind of fast and flexible offensive player, sometimes it really is true that you can't make a foul if you want to!

Ivanovic's speed is inherently slow, and coupled with the distance between Eto'o and Eto'o, this time the shovel directly took too much time to slide, and Eto'o was directly given sufficient reaction time!

But now, as Eto'o has entered the penalty area, although under Yang Feng's defense, he has slowed down, and there is not much angle to shoot directly!

But correspondingly, in the restricted area, Yang Feng also had to be careful with his actions, he could not inflict physical confrontation on Eto'o wantonly, he could only passively let Eto'o take the initiative!

"Eto'o, come to a stop! Suddenly swiped the ball to the right!"

After Henry passed the through ball to Eto'o, he played the essence of his striker and went directly to Chelsea's goal!

After Eto'o reached the left side of Chelsea's penalty area, Henry also arrived on the back foot and ran to the penalty spot!

Eto'o also knows that facing Yang Feng's defense, plus his left position is too small to hit the goal, and more and more Chelsea players return to the defense and enter the penalty area, he has not had many opportunities to complete the shot The door is open!

Faced with Henry's jumping in, he naturally did not hesitate to pass the ball. I hope Henry can create opportunities in sports battles!

"Henry! There is only Terry in front of him!"

It has to be said that at the beginning of this attack, the transposition of Barcelona's three frontcourt players played the biggest role!

Messi went directly to the far left to contain Ivanovic's defense, Eto'o was close to the center, and Henry suddenly retreated from the right offensive position to the center to receive the ball, which also made this time When the attack was launched, Chelsea's own defensive area on the left was in a state of emptiness, while Bosingwa had nothing to do. Although he was also reasonably close to the central defensive area, with Barcelona's quick cooperation, he was not able to Return to the penalty area in time and participate in the defense of the middle!

This also makes, under the continuous cooperation between Henry and Eto'o, because of the speed and flexibility of Eto'o and Henry, Chelsea's proud defensive line, in the end, Henry in the middle of the penalty area When catching the ball, only Terry was left in front of him!

And the other Chelsea players, either because of their previous positions or because Henry just passed the ball to Eto'o and watched the game in a daze, are all behind Henry at this time and cannot put more defensive pressure on Henry!

Cech has struck! Under such circumstances, before the goal, Henry can completely complete the goal first under Terry's defense. The earlier the attack, the more he can block the initial shooting angle as much as possible!

And because Terry retreated too quickly, after finding that he could not directly block Eto'o's pass, he could only block Henry's shot angle as much as possible!

But Henry! He played his calm judgment ability as a killer in front of the door!

"Henry! Stop! Turn around! Stop the ball!"

What is a killer without emotion? He is talking about a forward with a big heart like Henry!

In such a complicated situation, there could have been a chance to hit the goal directly in front of Henry, but because of Terry's block and Cech's attack to this side, Henry chose to be in the penalty area at the last moment. Within the time limit, complete the ball-stopping action!

Terry was thrown away due to inertia, and Cech's attack was also stunned. Although the other Chelsea players were returning to the defense at full speed, Henry stopped the ball extremely fast, and several Chelsea players behind Henry still did not In place!

Relying on this sudden braking, Henry stopped the ball and won enough space for himself to hit the goal!

"The right side of the goal is empty!"

"Henry turned sideways and hit the door directly!"

"Yang Feng!"

"Yang Feng!"

"Shovel directly over! Prevent Henry from hitting the door!"

"Henry's shot was blocked by Yang Feng from behind, and Henry himself fell directly into the penalty area!"

"The referee!"

"No penalty! The referee didn't award a penalty!"

"Bosingwa, who rushed back, made a big-footed rescue, and resolved this dangerous situation first!"

It's just a pity that Henry's supernatural operation, the variable Yang Feng appeared in the final stage of hitting the goal!

The hard-working Yang Feng, who is always working hard wherever he is, once again used his tireless running to appear in an unexpected position and helped the team complete a successful defense!

The Barcelona offensive players in the penalty area are only Yang Feng's defender Eto'o, and Henry who is plugging in!

But what about Chelsea's defenders, Yang Feng, Terry, Bosingwa who returned to Henry's right-hand side, Belletti and Ballack who were chasing after Henry!

When Eto'o passed the ball, for many defensive players standing in Yang Feng's position, the momentary mood may be the sense of relief after completing their defensive tasks, and they will fall into a relaxed state and watch a show , It's none of your business! After all, there are naturally other teammates in charge of other positions. It is Eto’o who plays the defensive task by himself, and because of the problem of distance, even if Eto’o’s pass is very close, he will definitely not be able to arrive at the first time. !

However, Yang Feng is the kind of central defender who is willing to give up his physical strength, a central defender who has always maintained a defensive enthusiasm, and has always been a central defender who will go to various positions to help after completing his defensive tasks!

After Eto'o's pass was completed, Yang Feng originally ran towards the goal. He originally planned that if Henry's shot was blocked by Cech and bounced towards the goal, he could also make a clearance on the goal line!

But the sharp-eyed Yang Feng, the moment he saw Henry's sudden stop, coupled with the combination of the landing point and Henry's forward position, his brain had already realized that Henry was going to stop the ball urgently!

Although this process was very short, it was so short that even if Yang Feng knew it, he didn't have time to call out to his teammates. He could only complete the change of his foot movements and start running towards Henry!

Henry stopped! Stop the ball! Half turn! Something off balance! The right foot is still adjusted to the best angle, and it can hit the right half of the goal when it is almost empty!

Yang Feng took two big strides towards Henry. In the last step, he stepped on the ground with his left foot very hard. He bounced towards Henry's stopping point, and his right foot flew directly to the position of the ball!

Fortunately, no matter how fast Henry moves, he still needs to do a complete set. Before Henry's shooting foot touched the football, Yang Feng's right foot first touched the football in the air, pushing the ball away a little bit, and Henry's shooting hit the ball. empty!

As for Henry’s fall, there were his own continuous movements, the loss of balance caused by hitting the goal sideways, and the factor that Yang Feng’s body was accidentally brought to Henry after completing the mid-air tackle. Of course, the referee saw that Yang Feng did hit the goal. When the ball arrived, he thought it was a successful defense, and naturally he would not award a penalty kick!

Yang Feng's defense sometimes depends on his own talent, and sometimes it really depends on his hard work!
