Football’s First Defender

As the game progressed, Manchester City's offense became stronger and stronger, and their offensive suppression became better and better.

Liverpool's defense was crushed under Manchester City's attack.

The defensive positions of many Liverpool players were forced to stand in the big penalty area, and Yang Feng almost defended into the small penalty area.

In the case of such a dense defensive lineup, although the available space in the penalty area has become smaller, Aguero can no longer rely on running to consume Yang Feng's physical energy.

But blindly retreating and defending also means that Liverpool has lost the space to move around on the defensive end. A mistake, or a lack of defense, may leave an excellent offensive opportunity for the opponent in the penalty area.

Yang Feng is not only physically exhausted because of the previous running and energy consumption, but also because he has been concentrating in the game, he is also very tired mentally, and he is really exhausted physically and mentally.

After moving to Liverpool and losing Chelsea's mature defensive system, it was the first time representing Liverpool to face the fierce attack of a top team. Yang Feng found that he had to do more on the defensive end.

When Aguero goes out to catch the ball, there are naturally Liverpool midfielders to defend, but as long as Aguero enters the penalty area, the defensive task can only be done by Yang Feng himself. Yang Feng is also afraid that other teammates will defend Aguero. , If there is a slight omission, Aguero will be emptied and let him create offensive opportunities.

In addition to taking care of Aguero's defense, as the commander of the team's defense, when the midfielder's waist is not strong enough, Yang Feng should not only rush forward to help the midfielder make up for the defensive loopholes at special moments, but also You must always pay attention to the situation on the field, and call on the young man in front of you, Henderson to complete the run and grab.

Henderson has been very active during his half season at Liverpool. Henderson, who is slightly younger than Yang Feng, as a peer, has a good relationship with Yang Feng off the court, and has always asked Yang Feng to guide himself more on the defensive end.

Henderson came to the wealthy team suddenly. Although he didn't adapt to the combat style of the wealthy team, he worked very hard. Whether it was training or competition, he ran hard on the court. Young people have the spirit of hard work and excellent physical strength.

But on the football field, if you don't work hard, you will definitely be able to reap the results quickly.

Henderson's technical ability is actually not bad. One of the reasons that restricts his current performance is his own mentality. As the younger brother of the team, Henderson is surrounded by "big brothers" and dare not play freely on the court. The second is the problem of being targeted by opponents. Last season, as an ordinary player of an ordinary Premier League team, Henderson was not put under the microscope to study, but now, as the main midfielder of a veteran giant like Liverpool Players, Henderson is naturally studied thoroughly by various people; the three are purely a matter of Henderson's own experience. If he wants to make a contribution on the defensive end, he must have excellent experience accumulation. To be the best on the defensive end, Henderson's experience still needs more playing time, and the support of senior players, so that he can quickly "raise the ball" to play the role of midfielder.

After returning from injury, Yang Feng, as the team's backcourt commander, can still shout at Henderson in normal times, correct his defensive positioning, and properly remind and direct the defensive methods to be adopted next.

Especially in the previous winning streak, Henderson and Skrtel were Yang Feng’s best defensive partners. Yang Feng would always make the best defensive choices for the two according to the opponent’s counterattack and help the team resolve danger. .

But in this game, when the team fell into the opponent's full-scale attack and had to defend, it became very difficult for Yang Feng to raise Henderson.

Football is a fast-changing sport. When defending in positional battles, Yang Feng's reminder will not only fail to help Henderson in front, but even under Yang Feng's shouting, it will also affect Henderson's own defensive judgment.

With the opponent holding the offensive initiative, Henderson can only rely on his own defensive judgment now, and Yang Feng can only stare at the opponent's offensive posture. After completing his defensive work, if he has the opportunity Just look at the right time to rush out and make up for possible loopholes in the midfield.

Manchester City's offense has always been David Silva as the main offensive launch point.

It is difficult for Glenn Johnson to prevent Silva from going to the bottom. If he wants to completely limit Silva's passing and cross-cutting, he really does not have that defensive ability.

As for the midfield defense, Liverpool dare not relax now. After all, Yaya Toure, Milner, and Barry all have the ability to shoot from a distance.

This also makes Liverpool's defensive end really stretched, and the overall defense line is leaking everywhere. It is the fence in the penalty area that is still tight, which prevents Manchester City from scoring as they wish.

Because Silva is too strong, and Liverpool's defense has not been able to effectively contain Silva, so Milner on the right side and Richards on the right back, after inserting, can't Then it is simply on the right side, ready to receive and transfer the ball, but it is closer to the middle area, adding Manchester City inside and outside the penalty area, which can directly complete the end point of the attack.

There are too many things Yang Feng needs to take care of in defense, but one person's power is limited. A Yang Feng can only guard roughly the middle area under the opponent's fast attack rhythm that changes all the time.

For Manchester City's possession of the ball on the wing, Yang Feng really has no better way most of the time. Want to command teammates, but have more energy than energy, after all, it is not a fifa game, Yang Feng can control the whole team by himself, teammates cannot complete micro-management, Yang Feng can only watch his teammates helplessly, sometimes, make mistakes on the defensive end choose.

Manchester City's offensive is still going on. Manchester City, who had been unbeaten in the previous two rounds of the league, in order to ensure their top position, has the advantage of home court in this game and must win this game.

Their arrogant reliance in positional warfare is still Silva.

In the summer of 2010, David Silva, who came to the British mainland from Spain with a worth of more than 30 million pounds, is now in a rising period of his career.

Last season, it was precisely because of Silva's personal offense in the midfield and the organization of the pass that revitalized Manchester City's midfield offense, so that the superstars on Manchester City's front line were finally able to stop relying on Personal ability alone, but with a very reliable passer, who can receive comfortable passes and complete the end.

In the early stage of his career, the young David Silva became famous early in the Bat Corps Valencia and grew into the world's top wing attacker.

It's just a pity that during the four years of David Silva's effectiveness, Valencia has lost its reputation in the early 21st century, and the team's performance in La Liga and European wars has gone from bad to worse.

David Silva, who is eager for honor, has only won one championship honor in the four years of the Bat Corps, which is the Copa del Rey in 2008.

Although there are very few honors, the four years in Valencia are indeed the four years in which David Silva has grown rapidly.

With the guarantee of sufficient playing time, Silva fulfilled his talent.

In 2004, the famous Italian coach Sacchi was coaching the Serie A team Parma.

At that time, Sacchi took a fancy to Valencia's youth players, Albiol, who played in the midfielder position at the time.

After obtaining the transfer agreement of the Valencia club, Sacchi flew to Switzerland to discuss the player's willingness to join with Albiol, who was participating in the European U19 Youth Championship at the time.

But just watched a few U19 games in Switzerland. Two weeks later, Sacchi really wanted to get Silva, the main player of the Spanish U19 team.

Being favored by the world's famous coaches also made Valencia's management attach great importance to Silva's future development space.

In the end, because Valencia's asking price was too high and they wanted to set a not-so-high repurchase price in the transfer contract, the negotiations between the two parties broke down.

Although Sacchi did not bring Silva to Italy, it also made Valencia's management pay more attention to Silva's training.

Afterwards, Valusia loaned Silva to Eibar, a strong team in the second division, to play for one year. In that season, the young Silva played 30 games and contributed 5 goals, helping the team finally rank fourth in the league and almost completing promotion.

However, during the season, the young Silva succeeded in making a name for himself in Spain because of his noble character.

At that time, Ebar challenged Lidal away, and the score was 1:1. In one of Eibar's attacks, a player of the opponent was injured and fell in front of the goal line. It happened that his teammate passed the ball to Silva who was not offside. In the case of facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, Silva gave up. shot.

In an interview later, Silva said: "My soul tells me not to shoot."

After that, Silva, who grew up rapidly, was loaned to the La Liga team Celta Club by Valencia.

In Celta, Silva, who was under 20 years old, secured his main position. He played 31 games this season and scored 4 goals, helping the club qualify for the UEFA Cup after the season ended.

Afterwards, Silva, who spent two years away from home and grew significantly stronger, returned to Valencia to directly take the place of Argentine star Aimar and help the Bat Legion attack the city on the side.

In the four years in Valencia, Silva has made himself more comprehensive on the offensive end.

Especially after suffering a serious injury, Silva played smarter and knew how to examine the situation on the field.

Silva, who was just a winger back then, can not only complete his own breakthrough work on the wing, but also pass the ball more and more accurately.

Silva began to attack from the wing, trying to appear in the team's lineup as a passer, and in addition to being a passer, Silva's excellent foot skills and very solid basic skills are also Silva will often enter the opponent's penalty area and act as a second striker. After receiving a pass from his teammates in the penalty area, Silva can always stop the ball in the most concise way and use the shortest Within the time limit, finish hitting the goal and create enough threats.

In the first season bought by Manchester City, Silva, who was in the rising period of his career, hit it off with Manchester City, who was seeking a breakthrough in the Premier League.

Also in the summer of 2010, Yaya Toure, who was transferred from La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​became the best partner with Silva.

The joining of two powerful midfielders has greatly improved Manchester City's central organizational ability. The team's luxurious striker can finally receive pass support from the midfielder in every game.

Manchester City also began to try to establish a systematic offensive tactics.

Yaya Toure, at the back, is responsible for the team's defense, as well as the task of advancing the ball and dispatching the ball in a wide range.

And Silva can concentrate on the offensive end, acting as the last passer, responsible for the last fatal pass.

In the last season, under the leadership of these two new midfielders, Manchester City won successive battles. Although they had no chance to get their hands on the Premier League champions, they pulled out their teeth from many traditional giants and reached the top four. Qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

With a whole season of tactical training, this year Manchester City has targeted the introduction of outstanding shooters like Aguero and Nasri, who can break through the hot spots on the wing, as an effective supplement to the team lineup.

The Manchester City team, which knows better about the balanced development of team building, finally ushered in an explosive period this season.

Silva is the lighter of Manchester City's outbreak, responsible for the ignition of the team's offense.

"Champion! I want to win the Premier League's highest honor!"

Although in the Premier League, Manchester United also has a big mountain, but compared to the two giants in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the relationship between the two giants in La Liga is intertwined. It is difficult for other teams to pose enough threats to the top two of the Western Super League. Hard to get.

Today's Manchester United is obviously in the Premier League. Although it is supreme, it cannot be compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga. Manchester City only needs to do a good job in their own game if they want to win the championship.

As a newly emerging strong team, all the traditional giants are obstacles to Manchester City's climb to the top, and the same is true for a down-and-out giant like Liverpool. What's more, at the critical moment of competing for the league championship, Manchester City's road ahead is full of enemies !

Silva's state in this game has been maintained very well under Liverpool's limited defense.

Silva, who pulled back to the left, received Yaya Toure's large-scale transfer of the ball in the midfield. It was a test of basic skills to unload the ball. Silva unloaded the ball directly on the foot and did not give it to Glenn. Johnson stepped forward to close the chance.

Because Clichy went forward from Silva's side, he took away Liverpool's right-wing midfielder Didier Dirk, who wanted to come over to help defend.

So that in the position near the corner of the penalty area, Silva is still in a 1v1 confrontation with Glenn Johnson.

In order to prevent Silva's breakthrough and cut inside, Johnson put Silva two steps away, retracted directly into the penalty area, and waited for Silva's forward attack.

But this time, seeing that Dzeko was going diagonally to the right into Liverpool's small penalty area, Silva did not attack by himself, but directly 45 degrees, diagonally to a skillful pick pass, and passed the ball to Dzeko orientation.

Silva sent the ball very accurately, and the arc was high enough that the defenders on the path could not touch it. It was accurately hoisted from the upper left corner of the big penalty area to the upper right corner of the small penalty area. At that position, only running to Dzeko there, and Skrtel who defended Dzeko.

Facing Dzeko's running and physical confrontation, Skrtel is not at a disadvantage, but Dzeko's judgment on the placement, or the familiarity with Silva's passing, is not Scott I can compare it.

This time Silva's pass was still topped by Dzeko. Although under the defense of Skrtel behind him, and Dzeko himself leaned back for the comfort of heading the ball, Dzeko could not go directly into the air and complete the head-shaking attack.

But he also pushed the ball in the general direction to the position in the middle of the back.

Near the penalty spot, Manchester City's midfielder Milner on the right and Barry in the center have already entered the penalty area to respond.

As Silva was passing the ball, Yang Feng was sensitively moved by Aguero and pulled to the left side of the penalty area. This time, Yang Feng really couldn't return to the middle to make up the defense in time.

In Henderson, when he hadn't recovered from watching Skrtel and Dzeko's header fight, Milner was already at the point where the ball landed, posing, and before the ball hit the ground, he directly Completed an end shot in the air.

In the midst of chaos, within the penalty area, near the penalty spot, the sudden kick made Reina rub his hands.

Due to the vicinity of the small penalty area, Liverpool players blocked Reina's sight. When Milner's kick flew past Henderson and went straight to the goal, Reina wanted to react, but it was too late. .

"GOAL!!!"

"Milner! Near the penalty spot, he took the lead in the scramble for the second spot. He shot a volley and scored successfully. In the 26th minute of the game, he broke the deadlock for Manchester City!"

"From the previous direct connection between Silva and Dzeko, Silva, who performed well in this game, used his precise pass to find Dzeko in the penalty area, and Dzeko used a successful header to fight for the goal. Ding, created this opportunity for Manchester City."

"Manchester City, which has been occupying the advantage on the field, finally reaped the results after continuous onslaught. Now it's up to Liverpool how to deal with it."
