Football’s First Defender

Liverpool's defense, in the days without Yang Feng, was really overwhelmed by various teams.

No matter how you defend, you can't defend against it. Even if you put on a dense defensive formation occasionally, you will be rushed by the opponent's impact and scattered.

Liverpool's defense is like a little lolita. Facing a bunch of Premier League monsters, he is light and soft and easy to overthrow.

However, after Yang Feng announced his return, the "little lolita" of Liverpool's defense finally had a strong protective force.

Yang Feng would be like a Kong Wu's powerful father, beating everyone who was close to his daughter until their noses and faces were bruised...

In the first match of Yang Feng's comeback, it was unanimously believed by the outside world that he would face the challenge of the knockout round of the Champions League.

Liverpool and Bayern are drawn together again.

Compared with Bayern, Liverpool's overall strength this season must have increased.

As for Bayern, after Guashuai came to the team, he switched from the two wings of the Heynckes era to the current pass and control system.

The style of the team has changed quite a lot. Guashuai's coaching philosophy has also been tested by a considerable decline in the team's record in the early stage, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Bayern fans.

But with the formation of the tactical system and the understanding of the new tactics by Bayern players, now Bayern fans can only say "really fragrant" when they look at the team's performance.

Thanks to the lack of fierce competition in the Bundesliga, Bayern can have plenty of room for mistakes to allow the team to build a new tactical system from scratch step by step.

Entering the knockout stage of the Champions League, Bayern's tactical reform has basically been completed. The team's few games in which the team experimented with tactics in the Bundesliga and lost a few games will not change the effect of the team's success in the Bundesliga.

However, when the Champions League knockout list was announced, everyone was stunned. Yang Feng, who had agreed to come back, was actually placed on the bench.

The recent poor defensive performance in the league has made Rogers full of expectations for Yang Feng's comeback.

However, just after his comeback, he will face the impact of Bayern's terrorist attack line, and Rogers is still a little worried about Yang Feng.

Even though the team doctor said that Yang Feng had fully recovered, Rogers still didn't dare to take risks.

The results in the Champions League are no longer important compared to Liverpool's continued leadership in the Premier League.

As one of the most successful teams in Europe, Liverpool's team history does not lack the honor of European champions, but Liverpool really does not have a Premier League champion.

Countless Liverpool fans, celebrities, and management are full of expectations for this Premier League champion.

With a high probability of winning the Premier League this season, there is no psychological pressure for Liverpool to give up directly in the Champions League.

0 to 3!

Yang Feng only got about 15 minutes of playing time when Bayern's victory was already decided, so he came to find out the state of the game.

After losing 3 goals at home to Bayern in the first round, it is very obvious that Liverpool will give up the Champions League.

If you are willing, you will gain something.

After the new year, Liverpool has entered the second half of the league, and the goal of the season is quite clear, which is to concentrate on winning the first Premier League championship trophy in team history.

In the UEFA Champions League, Yang Feng was "rested" for another game. After returning to the Premier League, Yang Feng, who had been away from the Premier League for a long time, got the chance to start without any surprise.

At Anfield Stadium, for Yang Feng, who has returned from injury, the kops shouted Yang Feng's name with the loudest cheers, welcoming the return of the "king" in their defense.

Swansea is a bit embarrassed.

It is also an offensive team. In the previous few games, regardless of Liverpool's record, Liverpool's defense line, which was so sloppy that they couldn't bear to look directly at it, allowed the opponent's offense to play comfortably.

Why did Yang Feng come back as soon as he came to him?

Moreover, in the UEFA Champions League, Yang Feng only played for 10 minutes to find his game status. Swansea was greeted by a full-scale Yang Feng, which made the Swansea coach a little speechless.

However, it is unrealistic for you to force a team like Swansea, which also relies on offense to make a living, to put up an iron barrel formation.

The visiting team can only hope that Yang Feng's condition will not be there, so that Liverpool's defensive line will not return to its peak immediately.

As for Liverpool, who are playing at home, the first to meet Swansea is not the restored defensive lineup led by Yang Feng, but Liverpool's recently quite strong offensive striker.

After Swansea's offense was successfully resolved by Yang Feng's supplementary defense in the opening stage.

Yang Feng's long pass and Sterling completed the connection, allowing Sterling to get the ball in the opponent's half in the middle.

After soaring speed and attracting enough defensive players from Swansea, Sterling's through ball in the fast-moving process helped Sturridge succeed in anti-offside.

Sturridge, after getting the ball in the penalty area, scored the first goal for the team in only 3 minutes of the game.

Yang Feng's return is not only an improvement in the team's defense. Yang Feng's excellent passing ability can further increase Liverpool's counterattack power.

And Sturridge's good form today is still continuing. After Yang Feng solved Liverpool's defensive worries, Liverpool can invest more power in the offensive end.

Sturridge changed position and came to the right, and suddenly crossed the wing, passing two people in a row. When the third Swansea player was defending in place, Sturridge had no way to hit the goal, he had to choose The ball was given to Henderson who responded in the middle.

Henderson's shot from the penalty area line directly hit the upper left corner of the goal, expanding the score to 2-0 for the team.

Swansea, who fell behind by two goals, invested more in the offensive end.

In this game, Rogers continued to use Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho and other offensive midfield configurations. When pursuing a strong offensive power, it can be regarded as giving Swansea a certain amount of offensive space.

But after Yang Feng came back, Liverpool's defense became extremely strong.

Swansea striker Bernie's personal crosscut disrupted Liverpool's defense.

After that, Bernie scored the ball with a kick and found Shelvey who was on the penalty area line, waiting to receive the ball.

Shelvey's long-range shooting ability is well understood by Liverpool players who are familiar with his training in the Liverpool team. When there is no defensive pressure, it definitely refers to where he is strong.

Shelvey bent his bow and set an arrow, and when the ball was kicked out, a figure slid over from the side, raised his leg, and directly intercepted Shelvey's rubbing shot. Of course, this person was Yang Feng who had just returned.

Yang Feng's keen field reading ability, coupled with his excellent defense ability, made Shelvey's long-range shot fail this time.

After Swansea's free kick opportunity, Bernie's header from the penalty spot hit Henderson's body and was reflected to the left of the goal.

When Mignolet was too late, it was still Yang Feng who abandoned the defender and appeared in front of the goal line to clear the siege with a header and complete the rescue again.

Throughout the game, Yang Feng, who returned from injury, was the "ghost" of Swansea's offensive players. He always appeared suddenly when Swansea created excellent offensive opportunities to complete the destruction or blocking of the ball.

Not to mention, when Liverpool was attacking with all its strength, Yang Feng used his excellent judgment to defend most of the gaps in the defense, which seriously affected Swansea's counterattack efficiency.

Before the end of the half, Suarez broke through from the wing and assisted Sturridge to expand the score to 3-0, which can be regarded as completely extinguishing the confidence of the Swansea players to counterattack.

The final score was 5-0. In the second half, Coutinho and Suarez each scored a goal to help the team achieve another big victory.

The most surprising thing is that after Yang Feng came back, Liverpool's defense has been greatly improved. In the whole game, Swansea only completed 6 shots and 2 shots.

And the 2 shots were all directly blocked by Yang Feng, and finally Liverpool fans no longer have to worry about the team's defense.

In this game, such an excellent defensive strength once again showed Yang Feng's strength in comparison.

After Yang Feng's "father" returned, Liverpool's defense was finally worth relying on again.

Whoever refuses to accept it can ask Liverpool to have a try...
