Football’s First Defender

With the completion of Liverpool's three major transfer transactions, for the record of their respective teams in the Premier League, whether it is Torres non-stop rushing to Chelsea to report, or the arrival of Liverpool's newly signed three generals, in the tight time of the winter window During the game, these players were not given too much time to adapt and welcome, and everyone directly integrated into Liverpool and entered the state of preparation.

After Yang Feng's knee surgery, he can now move while wearing protective boots.

After holding a press conference with the other two teammates and completing the introduction in the team together, when Suarez and Carroll both directly entered the team and began to seize the time to adapt to the team's tactics, Yang Feng himself was not idle.

With his right leg still unable to work hard, Yang Feng has been doing special upper body strength training during this time.

Yang Feng knows that his physical resistance training will take a long time due to the serious injury this time, and the overall resistance will definitely be significantly weakened by then.

However, in order to minimize the impact, without threatening the knees or causing body imbalance, Yang Feng did not train the strength of his left leg. Instead, during this period of time, he used special equipment to train his upper body strength hard. , and back, waist and abdomen strength.

Yang Feng believes that hard work can make up for one's weakness. Although this gap period will have a great impact on him, he must use his own efforts to ensure that his training tasks can be completed normally during the recovery period. After the knee fully recovers, use The shortest time to return to the best game state, even better than before at Chelsea.

Yang Feng's worth of 35 million pounds is tied with Carroll as the most valuable player in Liverpool's transfer history, and Yang Feng's own salary is definitely at the top of the Premier League.

Liverpool offered Yang Feng a five-year long-term contract, and offered Yang Feng a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds for a first-line Premier League defender, which translates to an annual salary of about 6.25 million pounds, and there are various bonuses in the contract.

Liverpool, which lacked honors in the past two years, not only gave Yang Feng a reward of 1.5 million pounds for the most desired Premier League champion, but also a reward of 1 million pounds for the Champions League, and a reward of 300,000 pounds for the two major domestic cups.

Regarding the Europa League, although Liverpool is now down and out, in fact, the main goal and energy is still to focus on the league, and they still look down on the Europa League. Except that they can really compete for the honor at the end, otherwise they will definitely not focus on it. Compete for this increasingly tasteless European war honor.

In addition to the championship reward, Yang Feng will also receive bonuses for goals conceded, bonuses for clean sheets, and bonuses for goals and assists.

Due to the weakness of Liverpool's defense in recent years, compared to the threshold set by Chelsea for the goal bonus, Liverpool's 34-goal bonus in the season seems to be easier to achieve.

Kenny Dalglish, who has just become Liverpool's coach, appreciates Yang Feng's dedication to training.

Due to Hodgson's poor performance in leading the team, Liverpool is not only getting farther and farther away from the top four Champions League areas, but also only 3 points away from the relegation zone. Welcome Hodgson, please come back "The King" Kenny Dalglish.

Although Dalglish has been away from the first-line coaching position for ten years, but

As a famous player of Liverpool, he also led the team to create Liverpool's last glorious era as a coach. Dalglish can be said to be very easy and simple to control the team's locker room.

After the Liverpool locker room problem was easily resolved by Dalglish, Dalglish could easily implement his own tactical reforms.

Dalglish, as the firefighting coach, made drastic reforms to Liverpool's defense as soon as he took office.

After discussing in detail with team deputy Carragher, Carragher, who had obviously declined as he got older, was placed on the bench by Dalglish. The more energetic and energetic Skrtel and Daniel A He became the team's starting central defender.

Dalglish used his personality charm to allow the midfielders to run more during training and games, and to return to defense properly after completing offensive tasks to help build the team's defensive system.

With the suppression of Liverpool legends, coupled with the great assistance of captain Gerrard and deputy Carragher, Dalglish's many changes in Liverpool were successfully implemented and directly brought the team back on track .

Although in the first two games under Dalglish's coaching, Liverpool players lost to Blackburn away in the first game due to their inability to adapt to the new tactics. At home, but the problem of defense still became a stubborn problem, and the fierce battle with Everton for 90 minutes resulted in a 2-2 draw.

However, after experiencing the tempering of the derby in the same city, the Liverpool players, in two weeks, can be considered to have mastered Dalglish's defensive tactics, met the defensive requirements, and performed better and better in the game.

The team first beat Wolves in the relegation zone 3-0 in an away game, and then took the lead at home. Relying on iron and blood defense, they won the "farmer" Fulham 1-0.

However, after defeating Fulham, Dalglish's biggest challenge is that Torres, the frontcourt attack weapon he relied on, was still traded away by the team.

Although for a Liverpool legend like Dalglish, the way Torres applied for a transfer and left when the team was in crisis during the season was tantamount to defecting, which made Dalglish dislike Torres very much.

But putting personal emotions aside, Torres himself is still very useful on the offensive end. With Liverpool now focusing on building defense, that is, Torres, a striker, can also play a role in attacking the city.

Now that Liverpool has lost the head striker in recent years, Dalglish still does not know whether the new aid can perfectly integrate into the team.

After the official completion of the four transactions, Liverpool went one to three, but central defender Yang Feng was destined to be unable to become an immediate combat force due to injury. For the sake of the team's record and to maintain the team's tactical stability, Dalglish actually also Not prepared to risk Suarez and Carroll at the same time.

Dalglish plans to use Suarez to play Torres' position first, play normal games, complete a few weeks of transition time, and then practice high-altitude bombing tactics based on Carroll in daily training.

Of course, Carroll, who is the team's substitute at this stage, can also act as the team's offensive surprise from the bench, and when Liverpool's field is not going well, they can conduct direct, simple and effective high-altitude strikes.

On February 3, after winning two games, Liverpool, which ranked seventh again, played against Stoke City Club at home.

On this day, the Anfield stadium was full of seats. Watching the home team's game was one aspect, and it was also to witness the appearance of three new players bought at a high price.

In the past few years, Liverpool has not made such a bold purchase for a long time, and Yang Feng and Carroll also tied for Liverpool's signing record, so for the Red Army fans, even if Yang Feng was seriously injured before this game, he is doomed. Unable to play, but watching the talented central defender who has become his own family and the cornerstone of the future defense on the spot, the Red Army fans are still looking forward to it.

"THIS IS ANFIELD"!

Even though Yang Feng was unable to play and Carroll was unable to start the game in our factory, Yang Feng and Carroll still stood at the entrance of the team's tunnel with the starters at the appearance ceremony before the game.

Together with Suarez who started the game, under the witness of the broadcast camera, the three touched the "THIS IS ANFIELD" sign with their hands in turn, and under the witness of history, they showed their determination to play for Liverpool.

Before the start of the game, Liverpool specially held a small ceremony to welcome the new aid. Under the leadership of the host, tens of thousands of Red Army fans cheered loudly for the appearance of the three new aid.

Suarez and Carroll both took off their outer jackets and appeared in Liverpool jerseys.

As for Yang Feng, because he was injured and couldn't do without protective boots, Liverpool officials could not ask him to wear a jersey. Yang Feng himself, for the sake of recovering from the injury, did not wear shorts to play, but he wore printed shirts on his upper body. A jersey with your own name and number.

Although this kind of dressing doesn't match how you look at it, it also proves that Yang Feng attaches great importance to joining Liverpool and his mood to play for Liverpool in the future.

The fans at the scene burst into applause for the three people standing together on the field. The fans must have the greatest tolerance and love for their players.

The audience in front of the TV was still attracted by the spectacular scene of three people walking through "THIS IS ANFIELD" one by one from the broadcast footage just now.

Especially Yang Feng himself, when he patted the logo with his right hand, he raised the team emblem on his jersey with his left hand and kissed him, which attracted the first wave of Liverpool fans for himself.

Moreover, Yang Feng was standing among the three of them after him, dressed in "different" clothes, which made Liverpool fans witness the recognition of the new team by the player who had just suffered a serious injury.

After all, the influx of Liverpool players in these years is actually poaching from other small and medium-sized teams, while their own players are all "seduced" by other giants to leave. The main level players transferred from other wealthy teams.

Even purely in terms of tactical role, Yang Feng had replaced Terry before he was injured and became the core of Chelsea's defense command.

The unveiling ceremony of the three Liverpool players was actually very short, after all, the game is the theme of today.

Suarez walked back to the channel, waiting to enter the field again, while Carroll and Yang Feng walked back to the team's bench.

Yang Feng was originally due to an injury. After coming to the scene in this game, he got the team's key protection. In order to prevent secondary injuries, the team originally set aside a small area in the first row of stands for Yang Feng to watch. competition.

But Yang Feng refused. Instead, he decided to stay with the team and watch his first game after joining Liverpool from the bench.

Liverpool, which has been in hot form recently, continued to perform well in this player appearance game.

Suarez, who started the game, performed well and perfectly integrated into the team, replacing Torres' role on the offensive end.

In Liverpool's debut game, Suarez scored a goal to help the team easily beat Stoke City 2-0, further shortening the points gap with the top teams.

Although the team's points gap was relatively large due to the first half of the season, after defeating Stoke City, Liverpool shortened the gap with the Champions League to 9 points.

And ranked fourth is just completed a deal with Liverpool, Liverpool's opponent in the next round, the Blues Chelsea!

The next round of red and blue battles has already attracted the attention of major media before it even started!

In this round of the game, unlike Suarez who scored a goal in his debut, although Chelsea defeated the "Black Cat" Sunderland 4-2 away, the performance of the team's two new players was not so impressive. .

With a super high net worth of 50 million pounds, Torres, who came to Chelsea, could not immediately integrate into Chelsea's offensive system.

Throughout the game, Torres seemed to be alone outside Chelsea's offense. When running, there was no passing support from his teammates. Sometimes when Lampard sent a through pass, Torres did not have a tacit understanding to keep up.

In the end, the opening of Chelsea's offensive end still depends on Drogba and Lampard, the two old fritters in the team.

Drogba scored twice in this game, Lampard and Ramirez also scored a goal each, Torres ran the whole game, but nothing was achieved, only a goal with a bad foot position .

And in order to make up for Yang Feng's departure, David Luiz, who was introduced at a high price by Chelsea, also made frequent mistakes during the game.

The Brazilian central defender who played in the Portuguese Super League before was unable to adapt to the game rhythm of the Premier League for a while. In the defensive position, he was too sticky to the ball. The Sunderland striker completed a successful collision and snatched the ball, and then directly rushed into it. In the restricted area, the goal was successfully completed.

Another conceded goal was a mistake in the communication between David Luiz and Terry. David Luiz was too active, and he went up at the same time as Terry. A pass by a Sunderland player completely penetrated Chelsea's defense, causing Petr Cech conceded the ball again.

For the time being, when Yang Feng was unable to play and Carroll was limited by the tactical system and needed time to wait, Suarez, which Liverpool bought at a relatively low price, perfectly replaced Torres' position, ensuring that Liverpool's combat power was not enough. On the contrary, as Dalglish's time in charge increases, his combat power increases significantly.

On the other side of Chelsea, the speed at which the two new players integrated into the team is indeed slow to the naked eye. They are incompatible with the team's offensive and defensive systems. It is definitely a big test for Ancelotti's training ability. .

However, the arrival of Torres inspired Drogba's desire to score goals. Under the pressure of competition, Drogba took the lead in completing the outbreak. At least with the recovery of the rest of Chelsea's players, Chelsea is still strong.

The strong confrontation between the two teams will be the most watched game in this round of the Premier League!
