Football’s First Defender

Carroll's coming off the bench helped Yang Feng share the defensive pressure of Everton's players. Otherwise, with Everton's level of strength in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League under Moyes' coaching for so many years, for this kind of header Everton still has its own experience in the set-piece defense of the contention point.

The previous Yang Feng also wanted to try to fight for points in the front or in the middle, but in the case of many opponents blocking the area with restrictions, most of the time, Yang Feng may not have reached the position before being caught by the opponent's back line. , pushed out.

Yang Feng alone and Skrtel's high-point combination, for Everton, which has many high-point players, it is too simple to defend.

Around any one person, there are at least two defensive players defending them and exerting physical confrontation on them for interference.

But with Carroll on the field, with such a center forward at the level of the England national team as a check, Everton can only tilt its defensive power to mark Carroll. With a sharp reduction in defense, there will naturally be more room for him to display his strength.

This time, Carroll was willing to be a green leaf, pushing towards the back point area, making Everton's defensive eyes tilt to the back point position, and Yang Feng's own threat at the front point was also huge, making Everton set the ball The defense line, there is an imbalance of defensive strength in the middle.

Skrtel was also restrained in the middle position, but still left enough space for Yang Feng to come over, so under the cover of a group of teammates, Yang Feng was in the front position, and suddenly turned back to the middle to complete the top challenge. The resistance from Everton was minimal.

Ding is Ding Mao and Mao is Mao. Regarding the composition of a tight defense line, when Yang Feng uses the turn-back to throw off the defender and form a breakthrough, Everton's defense line cannot form an effective supplementary defense at this time.

With the scoring of this goal, Yang Feng added another goal to his scoring account this season, and it was another goal worth a thousand dollars.

The Everton players of the home team counterattacked like crazy afterwards, but even Carroll retreated to the half court to defend, the Liverpool players used a united defensive attitude at the last moment and won the final victory.

Four consecutive victories in the league! Liverpool used a hard-won derby victory in the same city to make their ranking further and narrow the points gap with the first group.

However, this game proved that Rogers' tactical changes on paper still have many limitations. How to balance offense and defense will still be a problem that Rogers needs to face in the future.

Perhaps today's lineup balance problem is not so important when facing mid-lower teams. There will be some problems when facing mid-level old fritters teams like Everton, but when facing the top giants teams Sometimes, the opponent may directly grasp the weakness and win.

As for Rogers, who is determined to lead Liverpool to recover, even though this season seems to be far from the championship zone, it is still Liverpool's priority this season to keep the Champions League place next season and strive to win a domestic cup championship. set objectives.

Under the situation of the top 6 contending for hegemony, for any team, it is impossible to advance or retreat. Among them, if they want to attract more capable players in the transfer market, a ticket to the Champions League is definitely an important thing. The most important.

As for the subsequent schedule, due to the intensive group stage of the Champions League, Rogers still intends to give up the Carabao Cup after some trade-offs. After all, the physical fitness of Liverpool's starting players is also responsible for the subsequent schedule.

As for Liverpool's opponent in this round is Rogers' old club Swansea, this gimmick is not enough to affect Rogers' formation in the game.

1 to 3, Liverpool, a mix of substitutes and young players from the youth team, almost gave Swansea, the main player, a victory at home, allowing it to easily enter the top 8.

As for how far Swansea can go in the future, it depends on how well this mid-level Premier League team can perform.

The Premier League has always been Liverpool's top priority. After all, Liverpool has not won the Premier League championship so far. This is the pain in the heart of every loyal Liverpool fan.

As for the current position, the competition for ranking in the league involves the Champions League places, which will directly affect the club's financial income. Therefore, it is understandable that Rogers gave up the Carabao Cup to ensure the league and the Champions League.

In the tenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool played at home against the "Magpies" Newcastle.

Before the game, Yang Feng routinely watched the opponent's video, Yang Feng knew that the strikers he faced in this game were all his old acquaintances in the previous life.

Demba Ba, that is the thigh-level figure of Shanghai Shenhua in the future, but it is a pity that the broken leg injury ruined his future in the Super League.

As for Demba Ba's teammate of the national team, Papis Cisse, as the leader of Senegal's striker before Mane appeared, although his reputation is not obvious, he is also a powerful player.

And Yang Feng's impression was correct. After that, Cisse also went to the Chinese Super League to pan for gold. However, Luneng's foreign aid has never been able to produce that kind of explosive foreign aid statistics in the Chinese Super League. I remember that the unsatisfactory Cisse soon returned to the second-tier European players. League fights again...

At present, the striker formed by these two Senegalese is definitely a sharp weapon for Newcastle to destroy the city on the offensive end, and beside them, Ben Alpha, known as one of the "Four Little Swans" in France, is Newcastle's most powerful weapon. The well-deserved core of the offense.

This wide player who was as famous as Benzema, Nasri and Menez at the beginning, has recovered well after suffering a broken leg.

Although his obsession with dribbling and sticking to the ball has limited his room for further growth to become a superstar, but in the game, his excellent flank breakthrough attributes can ensure that he can not only complete his own breakthrough, but also can Creates chances for crosses as he leaves space at the end.

This kind of strong personal ability and the opportunities it brings are especially needed by a team of this level in Newcastle. Therefore, Ben Alpha's tactical position in Newcastle is still quite wrong. He can play according to his own ideas and has considerable autonomy. sex.

These three are all Yang Feng needs to focus on research, and also need to pay attention to defensive arrangements during the game.

In particular, Ben Arfa is directly facing Liverpool's young left winger Wisdom, so Yang Feng has to give Wisdom some advice on how to mark the opponent's characteristics, and he has to figure out how to do it when Wisdom can't do it. When defending missions, cover or defend a cross from Ben Arfa.

Now that I have the responsibility of being the core of the defense, I can't hide my secrets, and I have to give pointers to my teammates. Even if this will cost me a lot of spare time, as long as I can win, that's the best, isn't it?

Just like what the cross-border NBA player Barkley said, "Don't replace me, there is plenty of time to rest after I die."

For Yang Feng, his career is extremely cherished, but with the level of maintenance of today's players, 40 years old is the limit of a player, and even with the physical fitness of Asians, the cliff brought by the later stages of his career Yang Feng estimated that everything will be fine if he can survive until the age of 35.

Then, during this period of career, it may be okay to focus more on the game, focus on the field, and be a little bit tired. After all, in the future life, you can enjoy life longer and have more time to rest.

For the rare career experience in life, Yang Feng still cherishes it very much, thinking that he should use all his efforts and energy to cherish this opportunity to come back again.
