Football’s First Defender

The smell of gunpowder is on!

The Liverpool players, the continuous fouls, and the loud cheers at the Anfield stadium are also arousing the anger of the visiting Bayern players little by little.

Professional players have their own philosophies of survival on the court.

Although the referee's judgment scale was quite good, and Liverpool was shown two yellow cards, but in the final analysis, it was still a Bayern player who was shoveled twice, and Arsenal didn't stop their feet, they were all real. kicked Alaba and Mandzukic in the legs.

You can't admit cowardice, you can't be "bullyed" by your opponents for nothing, and you can't let your teammates suffer like this...

The Bayern players with this purpose, in turn, also committed a major foul during Liverpool's offensive, knocking down Liverpool's captain and Liverpool's symbol Steven Gerrard directly in the midfield.

This is Bayern's response. Even in an away game, Bayern is not afraid of trouble and dares to "confront"!

The referee who enforced the Champions League knockout match is naturally not a stunned young man, and he understands the changes in the situation on the field.

Maintaining the balance on the field and controlling the development of the situation on the field are the primary tasks of the referee.

Even though Thomas Mueller's foul this time was not as big as the previous two fouls by Glenn Johnson and Lucas.

On the verge of a foul that can be blown or not.

After all, this is a fall to the ground under normal pure physical confrontation, not a more destructive shovel, but I have noticed Thomas Muller's retaliatory emotions, and for the sake of the subsequent games, I can develop normally instead of falling into Amidst the endless fouls, the referee received another yellow card. It is necessary to completely dispel Bayern's "revenge" mood, let both sides return to the game, and let the game become the main theme.

The referee received 3 consecutive yellow cards against both sides, which completely stabilized the situation on the court.

The players on both sides, who gradually regained their composure, began to shift more attention to the game.

As the core of the team's defense, Yang Feng has been calling on his teammates loudly to let them concentrate on defense, while Gerrard also played the leadership of the team captain, trying to find a way to twist his teammates into a rope during the game .

In the first half hour of the bayonet battle, the two sides actually consumed too much physical strength of the players.

When the players on both sides fought continuously for several minutes in the midfield area, and approaching the 30 minutes of the first half, the running range of the players on both sides in the game began to drop significantly.

It's unrealistic for even the best players on the planet to run at full speed the entire time they play.

Being tired and feeling tired is a normal human reaction, but for these top players, they know how to allocate their physical energy more reasonably, and can complete a full-scale explosion when they want to explode.

The two sides had done extremely well in the middle defense before, as well as a wide range of running interceptions, as the game progressed, they began to become weaker and weaker.

Just like Gerrard, he dribbled the ball from the backcourt. In the previous half an hour, he might not be able to take a few steps, and he would fall into the frontcourt surrounded by Bayern players, but now, Gerrard dribbles the ball through At halftime, it was blocked by Bayern's defensive players.

For Bayern, at the beginning of the final stage, they abandoned the frontcourt pressing defense that they had been doing before, but chose to return to their own half-court area and use the advantage of numbers to reduce the running distance of players and form a more stable defense line .

At this time, for the Liverpool players, it is time to grit their teeth and launch an attack.

The team sits at home and bears the cheers of tens of thousands of Red Army fans. At this time, it is time to repay the fans with their own performance.

"Gerrard took the ball all the way to the frontcourt, facing Toni Kross' defense, he directly changed direction and passed half a body."

After attracting a certain amount of attention from other Bayern defenders, Gerrard did not force himself to continue dribbling forward, but passed the ball short to Henderson in front of him.

"Henderson kicks straight to Sturridge on the left!"

In the duel on the wing, Sturridge faced Ram alone without other defensive interference.

Although it is still difficult to complete a 1v1 by yourself, it is still possible to control the football, make some tentative breakthroughs from the side, or cut across the middle.

Thanks to Sturridge's better body compared to Ram, Sturridge also has quite good foot skills. He constantly changes his rhythm on the left and tries different offensive methods. It still caused huge defensive pressure on Ram.

In the process of trying to get to the bottom, he suddenly changed direction and cut across the middle, which made Lahm react, but it is not realistic to make the first move to complete the interception.

After completing the change of direction very smartly, Sturridge put his body across in front of Ram, and used his body to complete the block.

However, Bayern's tight defensive line played a role this time. Martinez, who was already defending this side, directly blocked Sturridge's route.

Sturridge, who didn't have a good chance, could only return the ball again.

Jose Enrique, who was plugged in by the left back, received the ball, but he pressed Thomas Muller again. Enrique could only quickly pass the ball to the center, passing through Lucas and Henderson. In the end, Henderson tried to kick the ball and went directly to Suarez who retreated in the middle.

Suarez did receive the pass, but Dante, who followed up behind him, was also firmly stuck in the position where Suarez wanted to turn. Continue to return the ball and look for opportunities again.

"Gerrard received this pass from Suarez, without a pause, it went straight to the right side of the pitch."

Sterling has always been looking for opportunities on the right side. His teammates' tentative attacks on the left and in the center have indeed attracted Bayern's defense line to the side with the ball. This also makes Sterling's defensive strength in front of him. getting weaker and weaker.

With Gerrard's kick to transfer the ball, Sterling only needs to face Alaba after receiving the ball.

Two speed players fought on the wing. Sterling is strong in the combination of speed and flexibility, while Alaba has a balanced development of flexibility and strength in addition to his outstanding speed.

They are all the best players in their respective positions, and there is no question of who can completely kill anyone, but this time, Sterling still has the upper hand.

Taking advantage of the sudden stop and change direction during the acceleration process, Sterling fully utilized his excellent flexibility and formed a short escape.

Although Alaba adjusted his figure quickly afterwards, Sterling has gained enough space and formed a large enough sense of oppression against other Bayern defensive players.

A low pass from the wing directly swept the ball into Bayern's penalty area.

"Suarez's follow-up!"

"Hit the door!"

"blocked!"

"Re-shoot!"

"Liverpool! Another tie!"
