Football’s First Defender

The direct connection between Suarez and Sturridge finally scored this time.

Sturridge's offensive firepower of averaging 1 goal per game this season is still maintained, and Suarez's brilliant data of 1 goal and 1 assist so far makes people marvel at his maintenance of game state.

You must know that there was no high-level game maintenance during the suspension period, and Suarez was able to seamlessly connect with Liverpool in the early stage of his comeback, showing an extremely good state.

De Gea didn't have a good way to face Sturridge's goal.

I myself got up from the state of falling to the ground before, and I was not in the best position when I got up. Facing the pass from Suarez and aiming backward, De Gea did not attack and catch the ball at all Space.

Although barely keeping up with the flight trajectory of the ball, Delia has tried his best to move to the back point.

But Sturridge was in the back position and directly overwhelmed Carrick's header, but chose to hit a far corner.

As with Suarez's previous goal, the goalkeeper simply didn't have enough time to react when the attacking player completed a high-quality header from such close range in the penalty area.

As long as the ball is not aimed at the goalkeeper, even though De Gea has tried to increase his blocking area, there is still no way to do it. He can only watch Sturridge leap high and hit the ball directly to the ground .

De Gea, who has already jumped up and spread his arms and legs to increase the defensive area, has no chance to touch the ball at all for the bounced ball that landed.

The ball once again pierced De Gea's defense, 2 to 1. Liverpool's offense in the second half seemed to have a feeling that it was going to completely overwhelm Manchester United's defense.

Rodgers was smiling happily on the sidelines, while Moyes, who was not far away, was frowning.

After an early lead, the game was reversed. If this game is lost, Moyes can now imagine how the media will criticize his "conservative" tactical arrangement in this game.

"Attack! Continue to attack!"

At this time, Huashan has a road, and only offense can solve the team's and its own plight.

Moyes immediately made his second substitution adjustment, replacing Giggs with Welbeck.

At this time, Manchester United must continue to strengthen the team's strength on the front line. As for the defense, what defense needs to be taken into account when they are behind.

Valencia quickly got the tactical note that Welbeck brought to himself after playing.

"Attack with all your strength! In the position of right back, play the role of right halfback!"

For Valencia, it is now transformed into a right back position. In the game, the defensive pressure it bears is more than the offensive pressure.

But now that Moyes let himself let go of the offense, the defensive burden will be supplemented by other players. He only needs to do what he is best at, inserting, attacking from the side, passing or breaking through.

Ashley Young and Evra on the left, Valencia on the right.

As for the contact points in the middle, there are three shooters, Rooney, Welbeck and Van Persie.

There is also Fellaini who can plug in at any time and act as a high point in the penalty area.

In the final stage of the game, Moyes can only put all his eggs in one basket, hoping that the ball from the wing can create enough pass threats for these offensive players in the center.

Of course, limited by the fact that there is only one orthodox wide player in Valencia on the right, Valencia's offense still needs to wait until the left, which is the main attack direction, transfers the ball over a wide range, and then finds the attack by itself. Chance.

It's just that, although Manchester United's offensive on the wing can create a certain passing threat, one of the biggest problems is that Liverpool's defensive protection in the middle is really good.

The central defender line composed of Yang Feng and Skrtel was originally one of the best central defender combinations in the Premier League today. After Moyes' second substitution was completed, Rodgers responded very well and decisively chose to replace him with a central defender. To relieve the pressure on the team's central defense.

With central defender Agger playing, Liverpool put up a defensive system of three central defenders in the middle to restrain the opponent's cross from the wing.

After Liverpool took the lead, facing Manchester United and facing such an aggressive offensive tactic chosen by Moyes, replacing them with three central defenders is a very targeted defensive arrangement.

Although Sturridge is off the field, but for Liverpool, because Manchester United's defense line has already had a huge loophole due to its own onslaught, then for Suarez and Sterling, relying on the strength of two people, it is also possible Played vigorously during the counterattack.

Moreover, even if the team put three central defenders on the field, Liverpool did not choose to fully return to defense, but let Suarez still stay in Manchester United's half, providing a great counterattack threat point, firmly suppressing Manchester United The back line and defensive midfielder do not allow them to play the ball easily, and they also have the opportunity to step forward to support Manchester United's frontcourt attack.

On the right side, Sterling has to face greater defensive pressure on the defensive end, but as a young Sterling, he has sufficient physical fitness to ensure that he can play a role in both offense and defense, and he still does well. In order to prepare, he must show his speed advantage in the counterattack after a successful defense, so that Manchester United's left players will continue to consume a lot of physical energy on both ends of the offense and defense.

As for Manchester United, which is fully committed to the offense, except for the central defenders who are a little afraid of Suarez and unable to fully press, the others still choose to do a good job of offense as their first goal.

However, whether it is Ashley Young or Evra, although they can barely create a certain chance of passing the ball to the penalty area on the left, but simply competing for higher points, each of Liverpool's three central defenders occupies an absolute position. height advantage.

This height disadvantage can only force Manchester United to pass the ball from the wide side, and the position of the pass is better, which can avoid the pass from the defensive area of ​​Liverpool's three central defenders.

Yang Feng is still in charge of defending against Van Persie, who is the most threatening player in the Manchester United team. After all, such a player who is good at running and has various scoring methods is the most threatening player on the front line of Manchester United at this time. Yang Feng must use his excellent Defense, to completely lock the opponent.

In the past few seasons, Van Persie, whether at Arsenal or Manchester United, has always been defended very uncomfortable by Yang Feng when he played against Yang Feng.

If in the era of Ferguson Ferguson, when Van Persie was unable to break Yang Feng's defense, he would set up some tactics for Van Persie to withdraw and catch the ball according to the specific situation on the field. defense, and then play a certain offensive threat.

But now, under Moyes's simple wing attack system, Van Persie has no partner who can retreat to catch the ball, and Yang Feng is naturally restrained in the penalty area waiting to grab a point.

With a higher pass, Van Persie and Yang Feng competed for the top, neither height nor weight had an advantage, so they could only be overwhelmed.

And when he finally made some passes to open positions, or passed a half-high ball, Yang Feng's ability to judge the placement was extremely strong, making Van Persie's advantage in running positions invisible.

Within the entire restricted area, Yang Feng was Van Persie's nightmare, wandering around Van Persie's side all the time, so that Van Persie couldn't get a chance to complete the threatening goal.

As for Yang Feng himself, in addition to defending Van Persie's offensive point, he still has the energy to command his teammates after judging the location of the opponent's pass from the wing, and even help his teammates to assist in the defense, so as to build a more complete Liverpool's overall defensive system. .

Whether Evra's pass is good, Ashley Young's pass is good, or the occasional pass from Valencia on the right, there are many passes, but most of the control of the ball is controlled by Liverpool players .

And even if the ball is finally won by the Manchester United players, it will be interfered by the effective defense of the Liverpool players, and it will not be able to form a high-quality goal.
