Football’s First Defender

Liverpool, who sit at home, displayed too much suppression.

Today's Liverpool has gradually found the feeling of killing the Quartet last season.

It can be said that the speed at which the team's new aid has integrated into the team this season, as well as Rodgers' ability to adjust tactics, instantly changed the look of the weak offensive Liverpool at the beginning of the season.

And Sterling's rapid growth is particularly important for this Liverpool team.

Last season, it was still the most inconspicuous existence in the 3s combination. When Sturridge was plagued by various injuries this season and his playing time dropped sharply, he became the most impactful point in Liverpool's frontcourt. .

After Liverpool took the lead, naturally there is more room for Sterling to play.

You know, although Sterling's various offensive abilities have increased rapidly this season, the most dreadful thing is still Sterling's speed.

The speed of that small sports car, if you want to run, it will give opponents who dare to take the initiative to attack, causing a huge threat of large trucks sweeping across the area.

Tottenham coach Pochettino on the sidelines is also considering whether the team will attack?

Is the income from the attack worth it?

How much offensive threat can Tottenham pose to Liverpool, and what kind of threatening counterattack will Liverpool play accordingly?

Psychologically speaking, Pochettino has a deep understanding of the strength and tactics of both teams, and knowing that the attack may not be a good thing for Tottenham.

But looking at the momentum of the players on the field who refused to admit defeat, and the resentment after the score fell behind.

Pochettino still sent a message to the field, that is "offensive"!

Winning or losing a league game is not that important to Pochettino whose main purpose is training.

Pochettino wants to see how the gap with Liverpool is, and how he can really rely on the team's comprehensive offense to find some Liverpool's defensive loopholes. Then for the subsequent Carabao Cup final, Tottenham will have another one. Attacking hole card.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could still win a domestic competition trophy during the team training period?

Tottenham began to launch their own offense. In Liverpool's frontcourt suppression, if they want to score goals, they can only invest more troops on the offensive end during the game.

The price of this is that Tottenham's defense will have more vacancies, which will bring Liverpool easier counterattack opportunities.

Sterling has indeed become the most threatening point.

After finishing the defense, the Liverpool players don't need to adjust too much, they can find the front with a big foot.

Tottenham had enough space in the half to allow Sterling to show his speed.

Throughout the first half, Sterling created 3 almost single-handed opportunities in the counterattack, relying on speed, but unfortunately, Lowry's outstanding performance, coupled with Sterling's defensive The player's ability to handle the ball under pressure was insufficient, and he hit the goal with three kicks, but none of them turned into goals.

There is a lot of thunder and little rain, which is Liverpool's counterattack.

However, Liverpool's counterattack has been unable to expand the score for a long time, but it has in disguise enhanced Tottenham's confidence in launching a full-scale attack.

Under Pochettino, Harry Kane, who has been reused, showed the potential of an excellent striker at Anfield in this game.

Under Yang Feng's one-on-one defense, Harry Kane made continuous fake moves, emergency stops, and changes of direction while running without the ball. Gained position to receive the ball in the penalty area.

This vacancy didn't exist for a long time, but it was accurately grasped by Eriksson.

Kane just got a little space when Eriksson's pass arrived.

Yang Feng's pursuit is extremely fast, as long as Kane's adjustment time is too long, Yang Feng believes that he has a chance to block his shot.

However, Kane danced gracefully in the penalty area without wasting a moment. Facing the pass from his teammate, he knocked the heel of his left foot directly to his right side, and then kicked up with his right foot directly. Door.

The ball whizzed out, but Yang Feng was half a beat too late to block it.

A shot to the opposite corner, Mignolet's save, there is nothing to do in the face of this tricky shot.

1 to 1!

Tottenham's offense has achieved miraculous results. At Anfield, Harry Kane showed off and equalized the score for Tottenham.

Under the defense of the best central defender in the Premier League, he created an attacking opportunity and successfully scored the ball.

In the past two seasons, Harry Kane, who has emerged in Tottenham, once again proved his potential as a striker to the entire Premier League and even the entire football world.

As for Yang Feng, he can only sigh at this time, Kane is still the same Kane.

Even if he is not at his peak, sure enough, none of the well-known forwards in European football is easy to defend.

Defenders are at an absolute disadvantage when facing offensive players, because defense is passive and offense is active.

The reason why Yang Feng was able to complete his personal defense well when he faced the famous players on the opponent's front line many times was not only relying on his own defensive ability, but also the hidden defensive help that some teammates needed to provide.

For example, the teammate's appropriate defensive actions and the trend of filling positions will make the opponent's offensive players feel the pressure, and will only get into the defensive trap that Yang Feng has already arranged.

However, Liverpool faced Tottenham today. Even though Tottenham has the title of one of the six giants, its forward has changed from the previous "famous player" Adebayor to the fledgling Kane. Yang Feng paid attention to it, but his teammates Obviously not paying enough attention.

Without the effective help of his teammates, although Yang Feng tried his best to complete the defense, he was still freed by the active Harry Kane.

Kane's goal adjustment and final shooting skills are wonderful, but Eriksson who passed the ball to him is also a big contributor to this goal.

The timing of the pass, the route, and the strength of the pass are all in the best state for Kane in the penalty area.

This also allows Kane to have the most comfortable and fastest way to avoid Yang Feng's defense and score the goal immediately.

For Yang Feng, what is the good thing.

The teammates were also completely awakened by this goal. Skrtel and others obviously remembered Yang Feng's warning before the game, and began to be more involved in the game, and they had more to do with the "new opponents" of Tottenham. focus on.

And Kane, Eriksson, and Lamela, after all, most of them are rookies, and they are also youth storms. The performance of the players still has ups and downs, not like many young Liverpool players who have experienced enough games. Same, with stable performance.

When there is no way to show the best performance of their players, Liverpool's defense is not under as much pressure as before.

Although the score was still tied at the end of halftime, it was obvious that Liverpool had the advantage.
