Football’s First Defender

In the end, Liverpool rewrote the score to 2-1 with Yang Feng scoring twice at home.

When Yang Feng needed offensive scoring most in Liverpool, it was Yang Feng who stood up and continued his life for the team's Premier League championship this season.

Of course, Yang Feng's outstanding personal performance is a very important reason for this goal, but it is also inseparable from the auxiliary role of Liverpool players in this set-piece.

Coutinho's precise pass and the effective containment of Benteke and others all played a certain role in helping Yang Feng complete the header over Matic in the back position this time.

And Yang Feng himself did not let down the good intentions of his teammates. With this goal, he directly completed the header from the inside and scored the second goal for Liverpool to lead the score.

This goal can be regarded as dragging Liverpool back from the brink.

Afterwards, when Liverpool took the lead with more than ten minutes remaining, they naturally made substitutions and adjusted directly to five backs to strengthen the team's defense in the midfield and prevent Chelsea from having a chance to counterattack.

Although Chelsea were also unwilling to lose in the game afterwards, their desire for victory in the game was obviously not as great as that of the Liverpool players.

At the end of the game, under the premise that the physical fitness of the players has reached the limit, it is obvious that some Chelsea players have begun to relax themselves to avoid injuries.

The Liverpool players all gritted their teeth and persisted, not giving Chelsea any chance to create an attack.

Hazard, in particular, has received intensive care.

Under the physical collisions of several "violent" players in Liverpool, Hazard did not get too many offensive opportunities in the game. In the end, in order to avoid his own injury, he also began to withdraw his strength.

The score of 2 to 1 was maintained until the end of the game.

Liverpool won an extremely difficult game at home, which can be regarded as three points for Liverpool to win this crucial supplementary match.

The points gap between Liverpool and Leicester City is now 2 points, and Liverpool has the advantage of goal difference.

As long as Liverpool can even out the gap between these two points, then Liverpool can reverse back to the top position and win the championship.

The priority for Liverpool to do well is themselves.

The remaining two league games must be won, so that as long as Leicester City fails to win one game, Liverpool can take the lead and complete the reversal of the league championship.

But if Liverpool makes a mistake, then Leicester City only needs a victory in one game to make Liverpool waste all their previous efforts, and their recent wonderful record will come to naught.

The 37th round of the Premier League!

The penultimate round of the Premier League to determine the ownership of the title.

In this round, Leicester City took the lead.

Leicester City's opponents in the later stages of the league are all strong opponents.

After just defeating the "Red Devils" Manchester United in an away game at Old Trafford, this game is at home against the second-tier top team Everton.

In the last round, they went to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

Leicester City, which has encountered strong teams recently, does not seem to be so easy to successfully snatch the championship from BIG6.

However, before the start of these rounds, there was a conspiracy theory that if the league title is still in suspense at the end of the league, then in order to avoid Liverpool's three consecutive league titles, Leicester Some opponents in the city are very likely to "strategically" give up in the league.

For example, in the penultimate round of the match, Manchester United successfully lost to Leicester City in the home game, allowing Fox City to continue to occupy the absolute initiative.

Liverpool and Manchester United are absolutely mortal enemies. The double red game between the two teams has always been the most intense game in the Premier League, not even one of them.

And Leicester City's opponent Everton in this round is also Liverpool's rival in the same city. If it can shatter the dream of the rival in the same city, it will definitely be a very meaningful thing for Everton.

In the penultimate round of the league, Everton, who had no desires and desires, did not send too many young players to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, although they were under pressure from some media to "release water".

But the core of the main force should be injured, and the state should not be good.

In the game against Leicester City, Everton's entire team did not perform very well.

It can only be said that it is the performance of the Everton players on the field that made this game a one-sided situation.

Although Everton's defense "persisted" for 30 minutes and was not broken by Leicester City, the defense was still broken at the end of the first half.

Among the set kicks, Leicester City defender Morgan's header hit the goal. In the case of an obvious miss by the Everton players, the ball was firmly pushed into the upper left corner of the goal in front of the small penalty area. , allowing Leicester City to take the lead in the score.

In the second half of the game, Everton, who performed with all their strength in the game, was naturally "unwilling" to lose the away game, and began to attack aggressively, trying to "equalize" the score.

However, at Leicester City's home court, they face the home team that is best at counterattacks to attack in an all-round way.

Everton's defense naturally couldn't bear the double attack of Vardy and Mahrez.

In the 54th minute and the 67th minute respectively, they were scored by Leicester City.

Everton fell behind 0-3 in the away game and almost lost the suspense of equalizing the score.

Although Liverpool also defeated Everton by a big score before, Everton's spirit on the court at this time is completely different from when they played against Liverpool.

Anyway, the Liverpool players think that the Everton players must be the same as the Manchester United players in the last round, forcibly releasing water during the game just to disgust themselves.

Although Everton woke up like a dream and scored a goal in the 81st minute of the game, it was too late. Leicester City's defense was still very good. Too many opportunities.

Leicester City managed to secure another crucial victory in the penultimate round.

Leicester City's victory in this game put all the pressure on Liverpool.

Liverpool played later, in the home game against Watford, only by winning can they keep the suspense of the championship until the final round of the game.

If they cannot win, then Leicester City will win the Premier League title one round ahead of schedule and create a legend of their own.

Liverpool's last home game in this league is also not to be missed.

Liverpool's opponent is Watford, a mid-table team in the league.

Watford, after determining the relegation situation early, the team directly entered the "holiday" state.

When the results of the game are not so important, Watford is fully committed to expressing the personal abilities of the players on the offensive end in the game. As for the team's defense, how well they perform is no longer important.

The team conceded 16 goals in the past five rounds, which shows that the team is completely in the game, a state of only attacking and not defending.

Not long ago, it was bloodbathed 5-0 by Arsenal at home.

It can be seen how weak Watford's defense is.

Watford is the same as Chelsea that Liverpool encountered before. In the last few rounds of the league, points are no longer meaningful to them. On the court, what they are looking for is actually to perform well.

There is a better performance to facilitate some core players to play their worth.

You know, for the Pozzo family who are in charge of Watford, football is a business.

It's just that they are different from some other capitalists who rely on the team's brand and heritage to make money (it's you, Arsenal). The Pozzo family, at least in terms of business, is still an orthodox football practice.

Ensuring that the team is in the top league gives players greater exposure.

Then every year, players are constantly sold and played, and then use their own scouting system in South America and Africa to replenish a large number of young demons.

Proper FM realistic gameplay.

Relying on a team from Udinese in Serie A, the Pozzo family made high profits, and now they have embarked on the step of "groupization".

By purchasing West Division Two and the English Championship, these operations are supposed to stimulate the league without spending too much capital.

Then frantically loaned players to them from Udinese for free, and successfully helped Granada and Watford complete upgrades.

At the beginning, it was precisely because Udinese's entire team was drawn to Watford and used the top combat power of the second-tier Serie A team to successfully help Watford upgrade, which caused dissatisfaction among many English Championship teams.

In the end, although the FA acquiesced in Watford's results, it issued a new rule in the second year, limiting the number of players that each team can loan, and plugging such a rule loophole.

But since then, the Pozzo family has gained a firm foothold in the three major leagues of the five major leagues. They only need to guarantee the team's performance with peace of mind, and then sell players year after year.

With the increase of Premier League broadcast fees year by year, the elite players of each team under the Pozzo family have also begun to gather in Watford.

Begin to gradually focus on Watford to generate maximum income.

On the starting list, Watford still sent all their main players.

With the conventional 442 lineup, the team's offense actually relies heavily on Watford's own "black wind and double evil" combination.

The play of Deeney and Ighalo.

As a small and medium team, Watford's ability to perform well in the league this season is inseparable from the super performance of this pair of strikers.

Although Dini is not tall enough, his rough style of play, active running, and strong physical fitness make him a duck to water in the center position.

It can be said that Deeney is a replica of Diego Costa. For Watford, after seeing Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded defense, Watford built Deeney as Diego Costa's defensive center. , the effect is actually quite good.

Especially when paired with Ighalo from Africa.

Ighalo's speed is fast enough, and he also has excellent physical fitness, explosive power and confrontation ability.

In the game, Ighalo perfectly formed Dini's side and rear wingman, forming a "one strong and one fast" combination with Dini, which can effectively strike the opponent's defense with precision.

In this game, Watford's idea is actually very simple, which is to continue the team's style of play and focus on offense in the game.

In particular, the head coach has clearly received instructions from the top to try to focus his offense on Ighalo.

After all, Watford's outstanding offensive performance this season has already made many potential buyers want to buy Watford's outstanding striker players.

Especially Ighalo.

Although Dini is important to this team, his team-oriented style of play does not conform to today's market laws.

Strong teams need to be strengthened, but Dini's own ability is not enough. After all, a "low profile" Diego Costa is not of much value to strong teams.

And for some weaker teams, or non-top league teams, Deeney's style of play is not suitable to be used as the team's offensive hot spot.

After all, Dini's 1v1 is not bad, with a high success rate, but if you want him to single out the opponent's defense line and form a dimensionality reduction attack on the offensive end, then it is a bit difficult for Dini.

However, this is what Ighalo is good at.

Has speed, explosive power, certain foot skills, and excellent confrontation ability.

Such a comprehensive offensive player is exactly the top striker that some low-level leagues and non-big five league teams urgently need.

In order for potential buyers to pay a higher price, it is natural that the better Ighalo's performance is, the more convincing he is.

For example, let Ighalo score goals when facing the world's top central defender Yang Feng.

It's just that Watford's offensive focus has shifted to Ighalo, but as far as the actual situation of the game is concerned, Yang Feng's defense is still better.

Yang Feng's defensive ability, in the face of Ighalo's offense, although there is no advantage in speed, Yang Feng can block it, and all other Watford players find Ighalo's pass.

If the ball cannot be passed, it is of no use no matter how fast Ighalo runs.

And when Ighalo retreats to get the ball, he will first be closely defended by the Liverpool midfielder. When he gets rid of the defense, he will encounter Yang Feng's excellent supplementary defense, giving Ighalo a little chance to attack Neither could be found.

Yang Feng can target Ighalo without restriction in the game today, naturally because Lovren effectively completed his defensive task in the game and completely restricted Dini.

It makes Yang Feng not have to be distracted from defending Dini, which can naturally limit Ighalo's offense.

And Watford's attitude of attacking and not defending, when unable to break Liverpool's defense, naturally has to bear Liverpool's artillery.

Liverpool players, facing the loopholes in Watford's backcourt, they really had to play the desired offensive effect on the offensive end casually.

Henderson and Coutinho scored two consecutive counter-attack goals in the 21st and 34th minutes, establishing the advantage of the game quite easily.

In the second half, facing Watford's "onrush", Liverpool made another effort, with Firmino and Milner scoring two goals again.

In the end, Liverpool beat Watford 4-0 at home.

Win at the same time as Leicester City, the championship battle, just watch the last game!
