Football’s First Defender

Newcomers report, veterans return.

Throughout the summer, because of the wonderful games of the European Cup, this offseason passed faster than expected.

Players who did not participate in the European Cup will return to Liverpool to participate in pre-season training as scheduled, while those players who still played in the European Cup in the summer will have a longer time to go on vacation and rest. Before the United States, rush back to Liverpool to join the team.

Although Liverpool now has a player like Yang Feng who is full of appeal in China, Liverpool's preseason games in the past two seasons have already been planned before Yang Feng's arrival, and the contract has already been signed, so even if they want to borrow With Yang Feng's name, going to China and Asia to expand his influence can only wait until the next season.

For the training that started in the new season, Yang Feng and Suarez also came to the Liverpool training base early, but the main players of last season were still missing a lot on the report day.

As England's traditional giants, Liverpool is also a major international player in England in this European Cup.

Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Carroll, and right back Glenn Johnson, Liverpool's main lineup last season, half of the main players were recruited by the England national team. Good, but the cultivation of "hukou book" has always been the most successful in the Premier League.

Of course, the provision of international players will definitely affect Liverpool's pre-season training in preparation for the new season.

Both Suarez and Yang Feng are not the kind of players who will completely indulge themselves during the summer offseason. After a detailed physical examination on the first day, unlike other teammates who still need a week to adapt to "lose weight", Yang Feng still With Suarez, with the approval of the physical trainer, he only needs a short one or two days of recovery training before he can carry out intensive daily training.

Skrtel, who did not enter the European Cup for the national team, also replaced Henderson, who is still on vacation, and joined the training group of Yang Feng and Suarez. At the same time, Liverpool, who has been training in the first team Sterling, the young talent to be cultivated, also conducted small-scale training with Yang Feng and the others after receiving Yang Feng's permission.

It can be said that the four of Yang Feng are currently the most hardworking players in the first team and maintain the best condition. Even if other players want to join Yang Feng's training and touch their already fat stomachs, they can only go to Running silently to lose weight...

When Sterling was transferred to Liverpool's first team for training last season, he had already received Yang Feng's attention.

Yang Feng, the future star of England, knows what kind of infamy he suffered when he abandoned Liverpool for Manchester City in his "previous life".

Sterling absolutely became famous at a young age. When he was less than 16 years old, he was looted by a group of giants in England.

In the end, Liverpool signed Sterling from Queens Park Rangers at a price of 2 million pounds, and has been training him in Liverpool's own echelon.

In the FA Youth Cup, Sterling even staged a good show of "five sons enrolling". You must know that Sterling was 2 years younger than the upper limit age of the FA Youth Cup.

In the last league game of last season, Dalglish let Sterling come off the bench and made his debut in the Liverpool team. His speed, as well as his explosive power, have been unanimously recognized by many professionals.

However, it is still unknown what kind of players the new coach will use. Sterling has been maintaining his form with the youth team in the summer. Now that he is back in the first team, Sterling knows that now is definitely his chance to take the lead , I also hope that I can use my harder training performance to win myself a position in the new season.

Sterling, who has been training in the summer, in order not to look out of place, of course, can only come and train with a group of players who are in the best condition, like Yang Feng, who has become the leader of the team.

In this kind of pre-season training, of course, everyone will not always be so serious. Sometimes talking about interesting things during the season and hearing interesting gossip reports are also adjustments during training.

Among them, Sterling has the most joyful atmosphere. After all, Sterling is still just a child today, he loves to laugh and be funny, so he quickly got along with Suarez from South America.

As for Yang Feng, Sterling is always a little reluctant to let go, just like a younger brother following a big brother, Sterling always looks obedient in front of Yang Feng, and does not particularly show his lively side.

Yang Feng also has no objection to Sterling joining his training group. It will definitely be more beneficial to Liverpool's future if you get to know more about it.

Although Sterling is young, Yang Feng knows his growth trajectory better than anyone else.

As a winger, although Sterling's offensive scoring ability in Liverpool was overshadowed by Suarez and Sturridge in the "3s", he has to admit that his breakthrough ability on the wing and the ability to involve , providing more options for Liverpool's frontcourt offense.

In terms of performance, although Sterling is a level behind Suarez and Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho, who had the same performance in the same season in the championship season, relied on their respective performances. The explosive performance of a certain game contributed to the role of a superstar.

That season was definitely the season in which Liverpool had the best chance to compete for the championship, but it was a pity that Gerrard's wrong pass at the end and Liverpool's collapse in the last few rounds of the league all brought about the collapse of another golden age of Liverpool.

When Sterling really became a player comparable to a world-class star, of course he moved to Manchester City later.

Guardiola brought Sterling's characteristics to the extreme. At the beginning, people said that it was absolutely crazy for Manchester City to spend 50 million pounds to buy a Sterling, but after that, Manchester City fans will definitely say "really delicious"!

Relying on more penetrating passes and Manchester City's oppressive style of play, Sterling can get the chance to give full play to his speed and explosiveness on the wing.

Many seemingly impossible deep passes are due to Sterling's explosive power, which can be obtained when the ball is close to the baseline, and then used to return the ball to cause enough threat.

Of course, Sterling has always been criticized by people for his extremely poor shooting ability. In many excellent counterattack opportunities, Sterling can use his own speed to run out single-handed opportunities, but the last shot is a bit Not bad.

How to describe Sterling's poor single-handed ability? Some people say, "When Sterling is single-handedly, Du Nima doesn't need to seal the (harmonious) disk!"

When the young Sterling and Yang Feng were training together, Yang Feng had already felt the distinctive shooting ability of this lively young man.

It’s true that sometimes you can’t shoot correctly, but Sterling, as a winger, pays more attention to his own speed movement and the improvement of ball control ability during training. As for the close-range shot , Sometimes Sterling, who ran out of opportunities, didn't even bother to complete the goal, but stopped the ball directly, without wasting time, and continued to the next set of accelerated ball training.

While Sterling still dismisses his distaste for shooting training, for the members of Liverpool's coaching staff, there are not too many strict requirements.

Judging from Sterling's training attitude, he is definitely not a player who will discount the training of the coaching staff.

It's just that from the perspective of individual players and the positioning of Sterling by the coaching staff, they are mainly considering Sterling's offensive ability on the wing.

This is also a reality. With Carroll and Suarez two forwards in the team, and midfield captain Gerrard can also act as an offensive scorer, the winger should play an auxiliary role. Do a good job. The work of passing the ball and tearing the opponent's defense is good, and there are many other main attack points to do the goal.

After all, a bug like Yang Feng who knows the future trend is itself a special case.
