Football’s First Defender

Lao Lei led his Tottenham as a guest at Anfield Stadium. In fact, before the game, he just wanted to ensure that the team retreated unscathed.

After all, Tottenham is currently ranked third in the league, and keeping the team's European qualifications is more important than anything else for Tottenham.

In this kind of strong duel, the team is guaranteed not to lose, and Tottenham, as the points leader, has a greater advantage in the standings.

However, more than an hour before the start of the game, after getting Liverpool's starting roster, Lao Lei's mind about winning Liverpool in the away game was just around the corner.

The main reason is that Liverpool's rotation is too large, which will definitely have a huge impact on Liverpool's own strength.

Even if it is an away game, Lao Lei still knows that he must seize the good opportunity of the opponent's rotation and try to win the game away.

And Tottenham's weak defensive problem, because Liverpool has rotated an efficient shooter like Suarez in the frontcourt, it is a huge good news for Tottenham.

Bellamy, who replaced Suarez, was an English striker. At the end of his career, when his physical function had already declined, he did not have enough fine foot work to support him. The combination of him and Carroll was very important for Tottenham. The back line of defense is not so much pressure.

Knowing that Liverpool may rotate their defense and save their energy for the league match against Manchester United, Tottenham have shown the team's offensive suppression from the very beginning, and began to take the initiative to attack and turn away.

The goal of Liverpool in this game is to defend. The frontcourt attack mainly depends on the personal ability of the players. They use some simple cooperation and fewer people to complete each attack. The remaining main energy is devoted to restricting Tottenham's offense. .

Tottenham and Liverpool are somewhat similar in terms of team tactical thinking.

The team's offensive tactics are rough compared to other Premier League giants, relying more on the accumulation of offensive players and the personal abilities of the players to create good offensive opportunities.

In this game, for Yang Feng, if he wants to lead his teammates to defend this home court, he needs to completely strangle Tottenham's two major offensive threats.

One is Modric, Tottenham's midfield playmaker. Everyone knows the magic flute's passing and personal offensive ability.

In the case that Liverpool did not have a full-time defensive midfielder who could carry out personal defensive restrictions, Bellamy could only retreat to his own half, Pepe and Gerrard in the middle, and the two jointly harassed Modric.

As for the other core Bell, it is necessary to see where he catches the ball according to the situation on the field. The defensive players near Liverpool must quickly stick up to form interference with his physical confrontation, and he must not be allowed to fully accelerate. .

And even if the ball is passed by others, the defenders have to chase back "meaninglessly", waiting for the teammates in the defense, intercepting Bell's forward route, and then forming a double-team.

When Yang Feng formulated Liverpool's defensive tactics before the game, he already felt the burden on his shoulders, and he also felt that there would be no less contest between himself and Bell in this game.

After all, the defensive ability of Liverpool's wide players, after the rotation, is only one Glenn Johnson, which is still excellent. The remaining 3 full-backs and full-backs are not so good defensive ability. The pressure will be less, and there will be a better chance to hit the last line of defense led by Yang Feng.

"After Liverpool rotated their players and rested today, the threat they created on the offensive end is not that great."

"Gerrard directly passed a long pass into the penalty area, looking forward to a direct connection with Carroll, but this ball, under the interference of the Tottenham central defender, Carroll did not control the landing point of the header. , the second spot went to Tottenham defender Kyle Walker."

"Walker passes the ball straight to Modric in midfield!"

"Modric made a long pass and sent the ball straight into the deep area on the left flank of Liverpool!"

"Bell and Glen Johnson compete for speed!"

Even though Liverpool has enough defensive numbers in the back defense, Tottenham's counterattack is still going forward, because of Tottenham's side, they believe in Bale's personal ability on the wing!

"Bell still gained the advantage in position. Before the ball was about to land and bounce off the bottom line, he took the lead in chasing the landing point and unloaded the football!"

"Bell stopped and led, and under the defensive interference from Glenn Johnson's side and rear, he quickly inserted into the bottom line of Liverpool's penalty area!"

Glenn Johnson has lost his position. Although he is still following Bell's side and rear, making Bell unable to complete the inside cut, Bell, who is left-footed, still has a variety of options if he dribbles the ball directly to the bottom to pass the ball. .

You can choose to pass the ball in an inverted triangle to find the teammate in the middle, or you can use your left foot to pass the ball directly to the goal, causing chaos in the penalty area and giving teammates a chance to grab points.

"Yang Feng quickly make up the defense!"

For Yang Feng, this is also the first time he really felt Bell's speed on the court.

Relying entirely on the advantage of speed, Yang Feng chased back the ball that Yang Feng thought would land out of bounds.

After that, the excellent coordination ability of the body, without slowing down, straightened out the football under the feet during the running process.

It is worthy of being the person closest to Ronaldo and Messi in the future. In terms of physical talent, Bell has been favored by heaven. However, the speed of Yang Feng's defense this time is also not slow. The landing point of this pass is too deep. Even if Bell takes advantage of his speed, there is actually only one way ahead.

Regardless of whether Bell chooses an inverted triangle or chooses to pass the ball to the goal, the ball must still be within Bell's control before it is passed out.

So, instead of guessing the direction of Bell's pass, it's better to go straight to the ball at Bell's feet.

The only thing to worry about is that Bell has already entered the penalty area at this time. If the defensive control is not good, then it is very likely that Bell will be in the penalty area and cause a foul.

"Yang Feng! Yigao is bold! Just choose a sliding tackle to block the ball while running to help defend!"

"In the penalty area, using the extreme method of sliding tackle blocked Bell's passing route!"

"The ball went out of the bottom line, Bell also fell to the ground, the referee?"

"The signal is a corner kick! This ball, Yang Feng's tackle inside the penalty area was very precise, and he directly touched the ball. It was a very successful defense!"

In the corner kick tactics, Bell is also a good player for Tottenham to compete for high points, but Yang Feng has a more obvious advantage in physical confrontation when marking Bell.

When Modric took a corner kick and looked for Bell who was running forward, Yang Feng used his body to confront, which directly affected Bell's running position. Afterwards, his advantage in height was brought into play, and he took the lead in completing the header clearance.

Bell, who is still a little immature, meets Yang Feng, who is also young, and the two collide head-on for the first time in the new era of the Premier League. The two cores, one offensive and one defensive, will have what kind of impact on their respective teams? ?
