Football’s First Defender

The confrontation between Ronaldo and Yang Feng became the hottest direct dialogue from the beginning of the game.

It's just that when Yang Feng defended Ronaldo, he also felt Ronaldo's difficulty.

Although he has a stronger personal offensive scoring ability than an orthodox center, but what I have to say is that Ronaldo, at least in terms of position on the field, will never be like a center, going deep into the opponent's penalty area and giving the opponent Opportunities for defenders to mark.

When not holding the ball, Ronaldo always pulls out of the penalty area, because Yang Feng is limited by the task of defending the space in the penalty area, and it is impossible to follow Ronaldo and wander around the field "aimlessly".

Without Yang Feng's defense, Ronaldo's strong physical confrontation ability outside the penalty area allowed him to bully Liverpool's midfield defenders at will.

Ronaldo, who obviously doesn't rely on his body for food, has played a very physical performance against dominance.

In front of Liverpool's penalty area, Ronaldo completely turned himself into a fulcrum player, effectively integrating into Real Madrid's offense and becoming a passer in the middle of the offense.

And Ronaldo's advance after passing the ball will be the biggest weapon for other Real Madrid players to find after passing the ball.

However, this offensive weapon has always been under the watchful eye of Yang Feng. Although Yang Feng has been paying attention to the area defense, he has maintained the greatest attention on Ronaldo, and will not let Ronaldo have the opportunity to intersperse into the penalty area. Inside, carry out greater offensive threats.

When Ronaldo enters the penalty area, according to Liverpool's previous defensive plan, the midfielder will retreat to a part of the penalty area to make up for the gap left in the penalty area after Yang Feng scrambled to mark Ronaldo.

Today, Yang Feng's marking of Ronaldo is quite good. In Real Madrid's positional attack, Ronaldo encountered Yang Feng's strict defense when receiving the ball.

Ronaldo moves completely according to the tactics, and the passes of his teammates can be delivered suddenly and accurately, but he just doesn't know where Yang Feng comes from, directly interfering with the passes to Ronaldo again and again.

If you can't even catch the ball, how can you go further and try to hit and break the goal?

In Yang Feng's direct confrontation with Ronaldo, although Ronaldo took the initiative to attack, Yang Feng relied on his excellent defensive performance to form a very good restriction on Ronaldo.

It's just that, although Real Madrid's offense relies on Ronaldo, others are not vegetarians.

Ronaldo scored more goals because of Ronaldo's personal ability and finishing ability is really strong, but when facing Real Madrid, even if Ronaldo is strong, there will be no team on the defensive end that will completely focus on defense. Transfer to Ronaldo.

Because Real Madrid's other offensive players also have the ability to seize the opponent's defensive gap and give the opponent a fatal blow.

Yang Feng restricted Ronaldo's attack to a certain extent, but his full attention was also restrained by Ronaldo, and he was unable to further take care of the game form on the field.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid's third corner kick.

Kroos took a short corner and passed it directly to Modric who came over.

After Modric received the ball outside the penalty area, he made a diagonal cross and found Ronaldo inside the penalty area.

Yang Feng is ready to fight, although Ronaldo's confrontation ability may not be considered an advantage when facing a central defender like Yang Feng.

But Yang Feng knew that Ronaldo's perverted physical fitness could take off to a height, and he didn't dare to be careless. He had a strong physical confrontation with Ronaldo throughout the whole process, and even under the pull of each other, it directly affected the relationship between the two. takeoff time.

Neither of them reached the jumping height, and Mignolet hit the ball directly with a single punch.

But the second point outside the penalty area was directly obtained by Abeloa leaning on Moreno.

Under Moreno's pressure, Abeloa directly crossed the ball and handed the ball to Ronaldo who had retreated.

This time for Real Madrid's second attack, Yang Feng definitely needs to temporarily decide to expand to defend, and he must not give Ronaldo an easy chance to hit the goal.

It's just that the strong attack that Ronaldo would personally launch that Yang Feng expected did not happen.

Maybe he also knows Yang Feng's defensive ability. Ronaldo doesn't want to waste his physical energy on this kind of offense that doesn't pose much threat.

Continue to cross the ball to the left and hand it over to Kroos, who is still in the plug position, while he continues to rush forward into the Liverpool penalty area and wait for the response.

Kroos, with a long diagonal pass from the left, found the back point of Liverpool's penalty area.

In the entanglement with Yang Feng, Ronaldo moved forward in the middle, ready to head the goal.

However, Yang Feng's pull and constant physical impact guaranteed to slow down Ronaldo's speed.

Ronaldo still couldn't take off and touch the landing point of the ball, but the position further back was still waiting for Benzema!

Benzema took off directly from the side, and in the air, pushed out a parabola at a small angle, and fell straight to the left side of the goal.

Mignolet has already rushed to the right post, facing this opposite direction header from Benzema, he can do nothing but watch the ball fly into the net.

1 to 0!

Real Madrid still took the lead away from home.

It is definitely not a good thing for Real Madrid to take the lead. Although the players have changed, the counterattack system created for Real Madrid in the Mourinho era has continued.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Real Madrid is the team that is best at counterattacking today. They have excellent propulsion ability on the wing, and all midfielders have the ability to pass the ball accurately. On the front line, Ronaldo and Benzema are both It is superb shooting skills, coquettish movement, and the players themselves have strong 1v1 strength.

Can Liverpool break through Real Madrid's defense when Liverpool's defense is already stretched? Besides, after Liverpool's attack, a Yang Feng can really limit the counterattack threat of all Real Madrid members?

Rogers was still struggling with when to launch an attack, but Real Madrid used practical actions to tell Rogers not to worry about it.

Three minutes later, Real Madrid created a fourth corner kick in the frontcourt, and Liverpool was hit hard again.

There is a considerable problem with Liverpool's lineup this season, that is, the average height of the team is too low.

In other words, double central defenders have a certain advantage in the high ball competition, but the ability of players in other positions to compete for the top is really appalling...

As for Real Madrid's set kicks, Pepe and Varane are both central defenders with good header abilities. Ronaldo and Benzema on the front line can score a lot of goals by relying on headers every season. The ball is scored.

With Yang Feng marking Ronaldo and Skrtel marking Varane.

Cross's corner kick accurately found Pepe, who has the greatest height advantage in the penalty area.

Pepe shook his head directly in the penalty area and hit Gerrard in front of the goal.

But Pepe's second reaction was extremely fast, he moved forward quickly, took the first step, and moved the ball horizontally to the middle of the goal.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Benzema suddenly burst out, shot sideways and fell to the ground, and kicked Pepe's pass first.

Faced with such a close-range shot, Mignolet had no choice but to watch the football roll into the goal.

2 to 0!

In just a few minutes, Real Madrid scored two goals in a row, establishing a bigger lead.

Real Madrid may still have a wave in the usual league, but in this highly anticipated matchup, it was the milestone game where captain Iker Casillas became the first player to play in the Champions League. Real Madrid players showed considerable professionalism sex.

He did extremely well on the defensive end and did not leave Liverpool with too good an offensive opportunity at all.

Liverpool wanted to launch a fierce attack in the second half, but they were unable to break through Real Madrid's tight defense, and secondly, Real Madrid's counterattack was even sharper.

Twice almost let Liverpool's defense suffer another blow.

Had it not been for Yang Feng's outstanding performance on the defensive end, once breaking the football at the foot of Ronaldo's breakthrough, and once blocking Ronaldo's goal from outside the penalty area, Liverpool might have fallen behind even more.

However, Yang Feng's outstanding performance on the defensive end still cannot return the team's offensive end.

Rogers also knew that it would be difficult to catch up after falling behind by two goals, and he did not make too many adjustments for the weekend league.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-0 away and won 8 consecutive victories in all competitions.

It's just that for Ronaldo, being defended by Yang Feng is a bit depressed today, and his wish to score at Anfield has not come true...
