Football’s First Defender

"GOAL!!!"

"Koscielny!"

"He became a sinner for Arsenal!"

"In the 23rd minute of the game, Liverpool Downing made a horizontal cross from the wing, causing Arsenal defender Koscielny's own goal!"

"Koscielny, who was anxious to return to defend Suarez, faced the ball that flew over suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to raise his leg to clear the siege, but accidentally hit the ball into his own goal!"

Arsenal, which has been occupying the advantage on the field since the beginning, but in the counterattack of defending Liverpool, because of the mistake of its own central defender, caused an embarrassing own goal.

Liverpool took the lead with such an unexpected goal, which is really a surprise.

So far in the game, Arsenal has an absolute offensive advantage on the field.

Relying on the team's consistent possession of the ball, Arsenal firmly grasped the rhythm of the offense. Coupled with the fact that Liverpool's defense line has repeatedly retreated, Arsenal has a more offensive advantage than expected.

It's just that after the midfielder has the offensive advantage, Arsenal's offense, wanting to pass the ball into the penalty area, has been greatly tested.

When Yang Feng was guarding Pesci full-time, the top scorer in the Arsenal team did not have a good chance to form a direct connection with his teammates in the midfield.

Arsenal penetrated through the middle several times in a row, and wanted to pass the ball to Van Persie who was in the penalty area. Yang Feng relied on his accurate judgment to complete the attack, and destroyed the ball before Van Persie got it.

The Arsenal team, which cannot directly contact Van Persie, can only rely more on offensive players on the side, interspersed in the middle to increase the threat of offensive points.

The original position on the wing was supplemented by the full-back behind him. In this way, although Arsenal's offensive firepower can be greatly utilized, the space left for Liverpool to counterattack is really not small.

This time, during the counterattack that caused the own goal, it was because Yang Feng judged the passing route in the middle of Arsenal in advance, gave up Van Persie in front of him, boldly moved forward, and directly joined forces with Skrtel to penetrate into the Liverpool penalty area. Rosicky's ball was broken.

After that, Yang Feng personally made a long pass and found the back of Arsenal's right back Sagna, who had already been inserted by a large margin.

Tangning nimbly ran forward and won this opportunity to counterattack.

However, Downing finally chose the way of passing the ball on the ground, which made the ball extremely fast. With the huge threat of Suarez rushing forward to grab the point, Koscielny finally made a big mistake and gave Liverpool an own goal. .

"Calm down! Calm down! We still have time!"

Professor Wenger on the sidelines was shouting loudly, reminding the players not to be affected by this own goal.

However, how could such a huge sense of gap not affect Arsenal players?

You know, before my team had the upper hand and hadn't scored a goal, it somehow conceded a goal first. This means that Arsenal want to win, and now they have to score two goals in an away game. Can.

In the next game, Arsenal's offensive players were obviously anxious and began to get impatient when attacking.

This is especially true for Van Persie, who is at the forefront of the team's offense. He has been pestered by Yang Feng since the beginning.

Yang Feng was like a piece of dog skin plaster, firmly sticking to Fan Persie's side, wherever Fan Persie went, Yang Feng followed.

Because Arsenal focuses on building dominance in the midfield, a single forward means that there is no support from other forward players. Therefore, in this game, even Van Persie slightly pulled out of the penalty area, Yang Feng followed up like a shadow and kept going. The defense area of ​​the penalty area is defended by other Liverpool players.

"We saw that as Arsenal lost again in this attack, Van Persie and Yang Feng in the penalty area had some conflicts!"

"Yang Feng raised his arms very calmly and restrainedly, signaling to the referee that he has no extra actions."

"On the other side, Van Persie is still chattering, yelling about something."

"In this game, so far, Van Persie, who seems to be the most powerful contender for the Premier League Golden Boot this season, still hasn't had any outstanding performance."

"Except for a shot outside the penalty area that didn't hit the target, Van Persie didn't make much contribution. Especially in the penalty area, limited by Yang Feng's defense, Van Persie didn't get support from his teammates at all and couldn't receive the ball. A chance to hit the goal."

"During this battle of focus, I hardly played anything. It is quite normal for Van Persie to fluctuate in his mood."

"The playback shot just showed the moment of the conflict. When Van Persie moved, Yang Feng's physical confrontation was completely within the scope of the rules, but it caused a strong emotional rebound from Van Persie."

"However, in the face of Van Persie's pushing and shoving, Yang Feng was obviously not disturbed by too much emotion, and directly opened his hands upwards to avoid conflicts."

"After the referee asked the linesman for details, he only gave Van Persie a yellow card, and Yang Feng was not punished."

This is where Yang Feng is calm. The most common thing on the football field is that after a conflict, both sides are hit with 50 boards each and both are shown yellow cards.

Even if it is a reasonable side, it may be shown a yellow card without discrimination because of "counterattack action".

As a central defender, an important defensive position, Yang Feng knew that after receiving a yellow card, he might restrain his hands and feet when he needed to make a foul, so Yang Feng was not impulsive.

The body suffered from being pushed and shoved, so I admitted it. I accepted Van Persie's verbal attacks, but I actually reaped the benefits.

Van Persie not only received a yellow card, but also felt that he had hit the cotton with all his strength, and there was still a breath of anger in his heart.

In the following games, Yang Feng continued his defense against Van Persie, and the anger in Van Persie's heart was also accumulating little by little.

And Arsenal's counterattack horn wanted to blow, but it lacked the most powerful sounder in front, and some of the sounds were obviously not loud enough.

Throughout the first half of the game, under the solidarity of Liverpool's team defense and Yang Feng's excellent marking of Van Persie, Arsenal had more than 60% of the ball possession rate, but could not form enough shots to suppress and create. Great shot chance.

Arsenal's shots were all outside the Liverpool penalty area. In the penalty area, only Rosicky's off-angle shot did not pose a threat.

Instead, it was Liverpool's counterattack. The simplest connection between Yang Feng and Tangning gave Tangning an excellent counterattack opportunity and caused Arsenal's own goal.

At the end of the half, Liverpool led 1-0 and took the lead in the game.
