Football’s First Defender

The score of the first half was finally fixed at 2-0. Yang Feng's header scored twice to help Liverpool gain a two-goal lead.

From the beginning of the game, the Liverpool fans who were worried for more than 30 minutes, watching the two-goal lead, can finally cheer and celebrate at halftime.

The central defender scoring two goals in a row is definitely not a regular weapon for Liverpool. However, in the current situation where the team's offensive run-in has certain problems, it is the best for Rodgers to be able to score goals and help the team win the game of.

This season, the overall strength of the Liverpool team has skyrocketed, which is inseparable from the continuous growth of each player.

Just like Coutinho, as a South American player and a Brazilian who loves to play, Coutinho's football talent is obvious. When he first came to Liverpool, he might be conscientious in team training. Yes, but work is work and life is life.

The young Coutinho, like some of his fellow countrymen, never overworked himself when it was time to enjoy life.

However, with the passage of time, as the atmosphere in the Liverpool team changed, Coutinho, in order to better integrate into the team and win playing time better, also joined Yang Feng's extra training team.

The corner kick connection between Coutinho and Yang Feng was the one they practiced the most in private training.

Different codes for each game, even during the game, the code can be adjusted. Yang Feng will inspect the opponent's defense line, make a pass order, and then Coutinho will pass the ball to the target area. .

This kind of long private training resulted in an offensive tacit understanding between the players. It may not be possible to play once in a game, but the two have been insisting on squeezing out a short period of time for practice.

But today, this kind of practice has really achieved results.

Halftime scored twice, Yang Feng's own outstanding strength was the basis for the goal, and Coutinho's precise passing should be the catalyst.

For West Ham United, he insisted on defending for more than 30 minutes, but was completely defeated by Yang Feng within 8 minutes with two headers.

In the league, there is no problem of goal difference. West Ham United can only formulate bold offensive tactics and see if they can create a miracle in the second half.

However, the reason why miracles are called miracles is because miracles cannot happen every time.

West Ham United's offensive strength will not improve by leaps and bounds in one game.

And at Anfield, amidst the huge noise at home, West Ham United's offensive level was not even as good as usual, so naturally it could not pose an absolute threat to Liverpool's defense.

On the contrary, it was Liverpool's counterattack. After West Ham United consciously attacked, there was more space.

Suarez and Sturridge have long been hungry for goals.

Thanks to Yang Feng's wonderful long pass after a defensive interception. Suarez slanted forward, took a step horizontally after receiving the ball, and took advantage of West Ham United's defensive players not in place, shot directly at the arc of the penalty area, piercing the goalkeeper's ten fingers, extending the score to 3 for Liverpool 0.

And 10 minutes later, Sturridge received a wonderful through ball from Coutinho in the counterattack, succeeded in anti-offside, received a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and also volleyed the score for the team. Expanded to 4 to 0.

In this game, Liverpool finally showed their strong scoring ability.

The opening goals of Suarez and Sturridge at the same time also proved that the two are still in the best condition, but other players need to be able to guarantee the task of "delivering ammunition".

In 60 minutes, 4-0, it can be regarded as a complete defeat of West Ham United.

Rogers consciously carried out the rotation of players. Compared with the physical reserves of the frontcourt and backcourt players, Rogers made three ups and downs on the midfielders, and did not hesitate to send two Liverpool youth players. It is really Liverpool's midfielder Can't afford to hurt.

West Ham United, which is 4 goals behind, the players have some big game moves to vent their emotions, and Liverpool is also very familiar with dealing with this kind of big lead.

In the face of some one-half goals, Liverpool players stopped fighting, but gave up consciously.

Try to maintain possession of the ball when you can.

However, although for the Liverpool team, the score of 4-0 is enough, but for the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot, Suarez and Sturridge, who are in a healthy competitive environment, still have to do their best. Go all out and try to score another goal.

Especially Suarez, when the victory is set, except for the excellent opportunity that Suarez will pass the ball, otherwise, as the team's frontcourt fulcrum, he can hold the ball and play more independently.

After receiving a pass from a teammate, dribbling the ball in the opponent's hinterland, turning around, and taking a cold shot to complete a kick can also scare the opponent's goalkeeper into a cold sweat.

And Suarez's "jumping" behavior also made the West Ham defensive players miserable.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Suarez received a pass from Coutinho at the arc of the penalty area. Taking advantage of the defensive player's lack of defense, he turned around and directly wiped into the penalty area.

The other West Ham United players immediately came to defend, and Suarez danced a "ballet" in the penalty area, dexterously dodged the defense, and when he finally finished hitting the goal, he was hit by Collins who had swayed before. , Stretched his legs and tripped directly.

penalty!

Suarez himself created a penalty in the penalty area!

Whether it was the first penalty shooter when Gerrard was away, or the goal itself was created by Suarez himself, there is no doubt that Suarez took the penalty himself.

However, when Suarez took the football to the penalty spot, he suddenly stopped and exited the penalty area!

The fans were a little surprised. When they didn't know what was going on, Suarez kept waving to the backcourt and shouting something.

Suarez and Yang Feng shouted "long-distance", and finally ended quickly under the intervention of the referee. Yang Feng still came quickly from the backcourt, picked up the football in the penalty area, and walked to the penalty spot.

"Such excellent judgment and physical coordination, Yang, as a high center forward, you must also be able to gain a foothold in European football!"

"But I'm a pretty good defender now, aren't I?"

"Although every football player has a heart to score goals, someone has to do the defensive task. And the central defender can also score goals. I hope that in the future, even if there are not many opportunities to participate in the offense in each game, they must Look for opportunities to score twice, to complete a hat-trick, to complete a big four."

"Isn't it a feat when a central defender scores those goals?"

Before Suarez took the penalty kick, the topic of chatting with Yang Feng after the extra training sounded.

Yang Feng scored twice today. With this penalty, Yang Feng may have scored a hat-trick.

Isn't it a feat for a central defender to complete a hat-trick?

Thinking of the long pass assist Yang Feng gave him in the second half, and giving Yang Feng the penalty kick, didn't he just respond to the Chinese saying, "Return the favor"?

Yang Feng refused at first, but under Suarez's insistence and the referee's repeated urging, Yang Feng still stood on the penalty spot.

The hat-trick is just around the corner, all you need to do is pass the opponent's goalkeeper's ten fingers, take a deep breath, run up, and look directly at the opponent's goalkeeper.

Hit the door with one kick!

"GOAL!!!"

"Yang Feng! He tricked the goalkeeper with a penalty kick from a spoon and scored the first hat-trick of his career!"

"A centre-back with a hat-trick in the game!"

"Three goals and one assist, Yang Feng participated in Liverpool's four goals, he deserves to be the best player today!"
