Football’s First Defender

Manchester United's counterattack in just 5 minutes came so quickly that Liverpool players and off-field coach Rodgers were caught off guard.

With two goals and a score of 2 to 1, at Old Trafford, Manchester United instantly completed the reversal of the score and gave Liverpool a fatal blow.

The players of Manchester United celebrated wildly after Van Persie scored a goal, especially Van Persie himself, finally broke his nightmare in this game, and scored a goal head-on under Yang Feng's defense.

Even though his state has declined with age, Van Persie is still Van Persie, the aggressive General Fan.

It is also very gratifying for Van Persie to be able to play such a representative offensive performance under the defense of the best central defender Yang Feng in the Premier League.

The happiest thing is that Van Persie finally found a way to restrain Yang Feng's defense. During the game, he tried to choose to distribute the ball instead of attacking himself.

And when you want to hit the goal, try to choose to appear in some unreasonable positions and complete some unreasonable shots.

There are still 20 minutes left in the game, and when they are behind, there is still time for Liverpool to recover the score and avoid an away defeat.

However, the first thing Liverpool has to solve is the team's morale problem. To regain the rhythm of the game, Manchester United, which has started, must not let the current state continue in the game like this.

Rogers continued to exchange personnel and played all the cards in his hand.

Balotelli and Joe Allen both came off the bench, and Rodgers was on the road to further strengthen the rotation of the team's frontcourt players, directly transforming into a 442 lineup, with two forwards leading the way, and began to use more aggressive offensive tactics in the game , to strive for a better offensive effect.

Manchester United began to gradually stabilize their defense and prepare to fight Liverpool's counterattack. Van Gaal is now firmly in the Diaoyutai, and he can use more secure tactics to defend the victory of the next game.

Liverpool's offense began to attack everywhere, attacking Manchester United's defense.

After Van Gaal replaced the slightly cumbersome Fellaini, Liverpool no longer stuck to attacking in the center, and the two sides also began to restore their previous impact.

Sterling and Coutinho are the two sharp knives that Rogers leads the offense.

Sterling and Coutinho, the ultimate representatives of speed and technology, have put Manchester United's side defense to a great test.

And behind them, there is the support of other teammates. Liverpool's three-dimensional offensive options at the last moment made the team completely let go of the game and did everything possible to create a threat to Manchester United.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally no good choice. Some just use offense constantly in the game to try to get better offensive opportunities.

Liverpool's recent league record is excellent. On the one hand, the team has implemented a frontcourt pressing tactic, allowing the team to find more opportunities in fast-paced games.

On the other hand, the team's offensive tactics have fully recovered, and the tacit understanding between players has also improved. In the game, they can better complete offensive cooperation and achieve good offensive results.

With Rodgers' substitutions and adjustments, as well as Gerrard and Yang Feng's morale encouragement, most of the Liverpool players recovered their spirits and began to prepare for a desperate fight at the end of the game.

Sterling is on the right, facing Ashley Young's defense, fully explaining what youth is capital.

Facing the once fast horse on the wing, when he was facing Professor Yang who was casually playing against Glenn Johnson before, Sterling showed what is called faster speed on the wing.

Strongly attacking Professor Yang completely disrupted Ashley Young's defensive rhythm. Facing Professor Yang's close defense, Sterling still accelerated the ball into the penalty area with ease.

Although Ashley Yang tried his best to return to the defense and barely stretched out his leg to block the route of Sterling's direct pass from the bottom, but this was just a small routine of Sterling.

It looked like a pass from the bottom, but after Ashley Young stretched his legs to block it, Sterling spiked the ball lightly, turned in the opposite direction, and gained more space for the pass.

An oblique short-range pass followed by Balotelli who had just played.

Facing Sterling's pass, Balotelli directly faced the ball without adjusting, and hit the goal with a strong kick.

It's just that De Gea continued to perform miraculously, blocking Bashen's kick that was bound to score a goal. Although Bashen's kick was extremely powerful, he still flew towards the goal, but after De Gea's blocking, he changed direction. In the end, it just hit the crossbar and did not result in a goal.

Balotelli has never lacked scoring opportunities in Liverpool, but sometimes this luck is really bad.

Maybe the wonderful goals in the European Cup that year have ruined my character...

Afterwards, Sturridge also received a wide cross from Coutinho in the penalty area. It would be a pity that Sturridge's header flew out of the bottom line by rubbing the post. the least bit.

Gerrard and Joe Allen, who are physically fit, also contributed two long-range shots in addition to organizing the offense, but unfortunately, they did not pose enough threats.

Joe Allen's long-range shot went flying, and Gerrard's long-range shot, even though it was on target, only made De Gea's number of saves out of the table today +1 again.

80 minutes, 85 minutes, the game time passed bit by bit, but Liverpool's offensive still failed to reap results.

what to do? Liverpool's players have begun to get anxious.

At the Old Trafford Stadium, there are already many Red Devils fans, and they have begun to celebrate wantonly. A victory in a double-red match is the best stepping stone for Manchester United today to boost morale and return to the top .

Liverpool's offense, at the last moment of the game, some began to fall into chaos. At this time, Liverpool needs a hero, someone who leads the team to change the situation.

Yang Feng, who received a pass back from the backcourt, did not hand over the ball directly this time. Instead, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of players to restrict himself, Yang Feng took the ball forward and pushed forward quickly.

Yang Feng's breakthrough with the ball surprised everyone.

In Manchester United's defensive tactics, there is no defensive arrangement for the opponent's defender when he dribbles the ball.

At this time, should he go to block Yang Feng, or guard against Yang Feng's goal?

Manchester United's defensive players in the middle are very entangled, especially when Gerrard and Joe Allen are also advancing wantonly to attract Manchester United's defensive attention.

At first, no one cared about Yang Feng, so Yang Feng dribbled the ball straight into the center of Manchester United's half, and only then did he attract the defense of the defenders.

And Yang Feng, as expected by all Manchester United players, passed the ball to Gerrard on the other side.

Sure enough, as long as the central defender does the work of the central defender well, to what extent can he participate in the offense?

This is the thinking of many Manchester United players.

Since it was as they predicted, Manchester United's defensive force immediately expanded to Gerrard's side.

But Gerrard didn't take a direct long-range shot or continue to break through. Instead, he didn't stop the ball, passed the ball with one kick, and passed the ball back again, but the direction changed slightly.

After Yang Feng passed the ball, he was still going forward, looking for an open space in Manchester United's defense, and when Gerrard passed the ball, Yang Feng stopped the ball and adjusted, and volleyed from the penalty area line to hit the goal.

No one expected that at the end of the game, Liverpool would have such an offensive cooperation between Gerrard and Yang Feng. De Gea even did not expect that the opponent's central defender Yang Feng would shoot directly from outside the penalty area.

De Gea, who reacted a bit slower this time, faced Yang Feng's shot to the dead corner, but it was already too late to make a save.

2 to 2!

An atypical offensive cooperation, but Yang Feng drew Manchester United in the final away game!

The cooperation of Liverpool's captain and deputy captain made Old Trafford silent again...
