Football’s First Defender

In the case of playing one more player, Atletico Madrid will naturally start to take the initiative to attack.

Among them, Felipe Luis on the left was particularly active.

As the starting point of Atletico Madrid's attack on the left, Felipe Luis almost no longer retreated to the half court, but in the game, he has been in Liverpool's half court, launching the attack.

Felipe Luis' attack is very creative.

You can not only launch a sidewalk breakthrough on the offensive end, but also directly act as an organizer to send the pass directly to the center area from the sidewalk.

Felipe Luis, just after halftime, took the ball from the left and directly found the ball to the center area.

The pass Felipe chose was a straight pass and a short pass to Oliver Torres in the middle.

It's just that Oliver Torres, in this attack, was busy running forward, but he didn't pay attention. Felipe's ball turned out to be directed at him.

When Oliver Torres saw Felipe's pass from the corner of his eye, when Oliver Torres wanted to adjust his catch while in motion, he had no good way to directly adjust his body shape.

Turned around to catch the ball, did not stop, the ball was missed.

Lucas's grab kicked the ball forward directly.

However, under such circumstances, Lucas chose to kick the ball, but he didn't make a clearance too far.

Under such circumstances, Lucas did not kick the ball very far.

It can only be said that when Lucas was in a hurry to handle the ball, there was no way to kick the ball out.

Under such circumstances, for the game, Lucas's clearance ball was still intercepted by Cork.

After Cork intercepted the ball, he directly passed the ball forward.

After Cork's on-the-spot interception this time, he quickly took the ball, passed the ball directly to the front left, and passed the ball directly into the penalty area on the left.

Cork chose to connect directly with striker Torres.

Torres moved forward quickly, wanted to receive the ball, and threatened directly in the penalty area.

But Yang Feng's sudden burst was directly on the passing route, he jumped high and pushed the ball straight out.

Although Torres's running forward is very coquettish, Yang Feng can't catch up with him, but Yang Feng is directly facing the ball. He only has football in his eyes, and there is no good way to make Torres run.

If you can't get the ball, even the best chance is useless.

This time Yang Feng jumped into the air to make a clearance and passed the ball to Klein on the right.

Klein directly drove the ball diagonally near the midfield with his big foot. While he wanted to complete the big-foot clearance, he took a look to see if there was any chance for his teammates in the frontcourt to seize the opportunity to complete the counterattack.

After all, although it is 10 against 11, don't people still have dreams? If there is no dream, then what is the difference from salted fish?

10 against 11, although Liverpool lacked players in the lineup instantly, but played well on the counter-attack end, it might not be possible to rely on two or three people to play a fatal counter-attack effect.

It's just that Klein's kick-off with a big foot is obviously a little far-fetched.

When receiving the football from Yang Fengding, Klein felt the forward rush of the Atletico Madrid players to press on the spot. In the rush, there was not much time left for Klein to handle the ball.

So with this kick, he wanted to make a clearance, but also wanted a clearance ball with a certain pass threat, but he didn't even kick his own half.

Gabi grabbed the spot of the ball directly in the midfield, and didn't even waste time stopping the ball. When the ball was falling into the air, he gave the ball to Oliver Torres not far from the left front.

Oliver Torres dribbled the ball forward. After being pressured by the Liverpool defenders, he made a short pass and poked the ball directly to Correa in front of the Liverpool penalty area.

With small-scale cooperation, Atletico Madrid players have brilliantly demonstrated the delicacy of Spanish football.

Correa, who has entered the core area of ​​​​Liverpool's defense, has no intention of attempting to attack in the face of Yang Feng's defense.

For Atletico Madrid, there is not much time left in the game, and there will not be too many opportunities for Atletico Madrid to organize a good attack.

Atletico Madrid should seize every offensive opportunity and strive to score a goal, instead of giving the opponent a better defensive opportunity during the game.

Correa doesn’t want to try Yang Feng’s defensive ability. There are already countless people in front of Yang Feng who have been successfully defended by Yang Feng. Correa doesn’t have to face Yang Feng to prove his strength. What he needs is to do something for the team. Make greater contributions to achieve better offensive effects.

Correa took the ball directly with his right foot, diagonally to the left, and passed the ball directly to the left wing to Fernando Torres who overlapped the edge.

Fernando Torres was directly on the left, taking advantage of the fact that Liverpool's defensive players were not in place, and sent a cross.

It's just that the ball was passed directly to the back point, but there is still a big gap between the height of the receiver Griezmann and Lovren.

However, in the area close to the goal, Lovren chose to be on the safe side and pushed the ball directly out of the baseline, giving Atletico Madrid a chance for a corner kick.

Liverpool are inside the penalty area and obviously have more high points to fight for the football.

So this time, Atletico Madrid did not take a direct corner kick, but used a tactical corner kick.

Similar to the "short corner kick" tactic, the ball was passed directly sideways to Juanfran, who followed up.

After a delay of one or two seconds in the penalty area, Juanfran sent a cross from the right wing and re-kicked the ball into the Liverpool penalty area.

This tactic is to give Atletico Madrid players more running space and running time to try to create opportunities in the penalty area.

It's just that the ball was passed to the dense area of ​​Atletico Madrid players, but it still couldn't escape Yang Feng's defensive range.

Yang Feng jumped high, overwhelmed Godin, and pushed the ball directly out of the penalty area.

Coutinho wanted to grab this second spot and counterattack directly.

But Atletico Madrid invested more people outside the penalty area.

Coutinho's press did not hit Gabi, and Gabi kicked the ball again and passed the ball directly to Felipe Luis who remained at the end to re-organize Atletico Madrid's offense.

Atletico Madrid used patient organization and control in the backcourt to re-complete the deployment of the formation.

After the defensive players who had gone to the penalty area to compete for the top all returned to their positions, Atletico Madrid began to organize an attack again, trying to achieve offensive effects in the game.

Gaby and Cork, the double midfielders, have been organizing the offense for the ball in the midfield.

Pass the ball continuously to mobilize Liverpool's defense, but the real threat still depends on the two wings.

After Cork broke through, the ball was passed to Juanfran on the right.

Facing Moreno's defense, Juanfran did not force himself, but kicked the ball forward and passed the ball to Oliver Torres who was advancing diagonally.

Henderson is following closely, and even Moreno is looking for opportunities to come over and form a double-team defense against Oliver Torres to limit Atletico Madrid's constant attack in the dangerous area on the side.

Oliver Torres, as long as he wants to hit this ball strongly, Moreno will immediately grab it and form a double-team with Henderson, trying to destroy this offense.

However, for Oliver Torres, blindly sending a cross from the wing without a good chance may not be of much offensive significance in Liverpool's three-central defender system.

Oliver Torres, passing the ball back to Juanfran again, re-positioned himself to attack.

Atletico Madrid's offense played quite patiently. Juanfran stopped the ball for 2 seconds, constantly observing the situation on the field, and then sent a pass to the middle, still looking for Oliver Torres.

The ability to run without the ball is what Oliver Torres is good at. After sending a pass from the right, Oliver Torres moved quickly to the center directly in the game.

Just run out of a certain space to create an offensive threat.

Henderson's follow-up defense is still close, but this time, Henderson made a mistake in his defensive handling.

He thought that Oliver Torres would choose to stop the ball before making further offensive moves.

However, he did not expect that Oliver Torres's move to stop the ball was a fake move. When the block ball really passed to his feet, Oliver Torres chose to give way and continued to let the ball move, while he chased sideways In football, the goal is to directly pursue a breakthrough without stopping the ball.

Henderson took a step slower this time, and directly gave up the defensive space.

Liverpool's other defensive players in the middle rushed over to defend, but it was too late. Oliver Torres made adjustments in motion, seized a gap in Liverpool's defense, and directly completed a straight kick with his left foot into the small penalty area. stuffed.

Griezmann rushed forward in anti-offside. On the right side of the small penalty area, after receiving a wonderful pass from Oliver Torres this time, he shot a low shot with his right foot to complete the goal.

Such a close-range shot, if Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet hadn't once again made a superb save and blocked the ball on the goal line, Liverpool's home game might really have to be explained here.

Yang Feng, who was nearby, hurriedly controlled Mignolet's second landing point after the save, so as not to be caught by the opponent.

To be honest, Yang Feng broke out in a cold sweat just now.

He also did not expect that Oliver Torres could improvise in midfield alone, and almost penetrated Liverpool's defense.

Just now, Yang Feng didn't expect the ball to be passed. In terms of speed, he couldn't catch up with Griezmann who suddenly exploded. However, when he wanted to intercept the pass, he found that the defensive distance was not enough to stop the passing route.

The defense was not in place for a moment, and almost caused the opponent's goal. Fortunately, Mignolet played well today, otherwise, for Liverpool, it would be really bad if they lost a goal at home.

Yang Feng quickly cleared the ball to the left.

Moreno still has the stamina to run out, try to control the landing point, and hit a counterattack.

However, Atletico Madrid players rely on their superiority in numbers to control the placement of the lower perimeter, which is actually very easy.

Savage went straight up and passed the ball directly to Gabi in front before Moreno stopped the ball.

Gabi, Savage, and Cork, before the three of them, cooperated with short passes in a row, regained complete control of the ball, and waited for their teammates to move, ready to attack.

Cork dribbled forward without encountering any obstruction.

In the case of playing one less player, Liverpool no longer carried out its own oppressive defense in the frontcourt, but retreated to the 30-meter area of ​​the backcourt to defend.

Before the dangerous area, even if the Atletico Madrid players control the ball well, the Liverpool players will not take the risk to defend and give the opponent a chance.

No one cares about Cork's dribbling in the midfield, but when he enters the 30-meter area, at least 3 Liverpool defensive players may suddenly pounce on Cork to encircle him.

Without finding a good opening in the middle to tear apart Liverpool's defense, Cork still chose to pass the ball to Felipe Luis on the left.

Felipe Luis continued to seek a breakthrough on the wing, but this time Klein's defensive position selection was quite good. Felipe Luis tried continuous fake moves and did not shake Klein's defense.

In the end, Felipe Luis, who didn't have a good chance to pass the ball, could only choose to pass the ball back to Cork who came over from the center.

This time, Cork's offense came, but before he came to receive the pass, he had already planned the subsequent offensive.

After stopping the ball, before Liverpool's defense came up, Cork made a direct pass.

Suddenly the ball was sent to Liverpool's small penalty area again.

It was another tacit cooperation between Griezmann and Cork. While Cork was passing the ball, Griezmann exploded his speed with all his strength, successfully reversed offside, and went straight to Liverpool's goal.

Griezmann wanted to stretch out his legs and complete a kick shot directly in the air.

Such a close-range shot, as long as a shot is formed, it will be extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to react.

Mignolet is on standby, ready to make another surprise attack.

But Yang Feng, at this moment, reflects the defensive value of his "protagonist".

Griezmann's anti-offside has already turned into an offense before, but Yang Feng's defense will not fall twice in the same pit.

Yang Feng has always paid great attention to Griezmann's running position, and also subjectively observed the ball holders on the Atletico Madrid field, considering how they pass the ball, in order to continue to find Griezmann.

This time, before Cork completed the pass, Yang Feng had a premonition that something was wrong and moved quickly to Griezmann's side.

As a result, Cork's pass really came to Griezmann's side.

It can be regarded as being caught by Yang Feng.

Although Griezmann has an advantage in speed, Yang Feng still has a greater advantage in position than Griezmann when he takes the lead in starting the running position.

Yang Feng took off first and stretched his legs in the air towards the landing point. Griezmann's short legs and Yang Feng's long legs are of course incomparable.

Yang Feng was directly in the game, and he touched the ball's landing point first, and the ball went directly out of the baseline, just giving the opponent a corner kick.
