Football’s First Defender

Facing Manchester United's nearby defense, Gerrard, who was blocked from a long-range angle, decisively split the side to Glenn Johnson who plugged in from the right.

Glenn Johnson faced Ashley Young, two impactful wide players, 1v1 head-to-head fighting, Glenn Johnson took advantage of the first move, and after stabbing the ball to the penalty area, he accelerated his sprint.

Ashley Young followed the defense closely, but after Glen Johnson poked the ball to the bottom line again, he wanted to speed up to get rid of it.

But this poke was too powerful, Vidic's help defense was in place quickly, he took the first step to control the football, and directly chose a short pass to Evra.

After Evra took the ball, he wanted to go left and complete a quick counterattack.

But Gerrard's attack was very quick, and his body had already been attached to him. It was a direct physical confrontation, pushing the ball hard at Evra's feet.

Evra was robbed by Gerrard and staggered a little, so he could only choose to pass back to Vidic to be on the safe side.

But when he kicked out, he was hit by Gerrard again. Evra's technical movements were deformed, and there were huge errors in the direction and speed of the ball.

The ball was passed directly to the feet of Sturridge, who wanted to grab the ball and interfere with Vidic's reception.

After receiving the ball, Sturridge directly turned around and passed the ball horizontally. At the level of the small penalty area line, he hit the goal with his left foot at a small angle.

Fortunately, for Manchester United, Ferdinand's supplementary defense was timely, and a lateral sliding tackle arrived in time, blocking Sturridge's kick and blocking the ball directly out of the baseline.

corner kick.

The first corner kick of the Double Red Club.

In fact, Sturridge's ball can be hit horizontally to the middle.

From the "God's perspective" of the live broadcast, when Ferdinand pounced on Sturridge's side, Aspas in the middle was completely emptied in the middle.

However, perhaps in a hurry, Sturridge did not notice Aspers who opened his hands to signal the pass, or it may be that Sturridge believed in his recent good form.

After all, he scored two goals in two games and was extremely efficient. Sturridge also wanted to start three games and score in all of them.

It's just a pity that in the end, Ferdinand was superior. The defense of this ball was extremely good, and Sturridge did not give Sturridge a chance to test De Gea at close range.

In the corner kick tactics, Yang Feng and Skrtel are naturally the targets of Vidic and Ferdinand.

Moreover, Moyes is still near the small penalty area, and has arranged two defensive players in the area, just to prevent Yang Feng and Skrtel, who are good at grabbing spots, from borrowing some cover and directly posing a threat to Manchester United.

As for other people in Liverpool, Moyes will not make targeted arrangements when the average height of Liverpool players does not have an advantage.

Gerrard's corner kick was taken, an arc, but instead of rotating into the more threatening small penalty area, it was passed to a further back position, the landing area about one step before the penalty spot.

Yang Feng's forward fake run before the kick-off directly attracted Ferdinand's attention.

After all, everyone knows that Yang Feng's biggest threat is his header from the front point, and Ferdinand has to be "baited" to follow up the defense. This is Yangmou.

Then Yang Feng suddenly turned back and turned to the middle area, making a time difference.

Gerrard shot the ball fast enough, and Yang Feng, who had judged the landing point, leaped high. Even though Ferdinand had rushed back to his position with all his strength, the defensive impact of Ferdinand, who jumped later, was not that great.

Yang Feng adjusted the angle in the air, exerted his core strength, shook his head and hit the goal, and directly pushed the ball to the left side of the goal.

"Go in!"

Yang Feng, who felt that he headed the ball quite well, kept staring at the direction the ball flew out in the air, hoping to see this ball pass De Gea's ten fingers.

De Gea did react and wanted to save, but there was one person whose reaction was not slower than De Gea.

"GOAL!!!"

"The ball went in!"

"Sturridge!"

"Since the start of the Premier League season, goals have been scored in three consecutive games, helping Liverpool temporarily lead Manchester United 1-0 in this game."

"Manchester United coach David Moyes has never won a victory at Anfield. Even Manchester United, the top Premier League club he coaches now, does not seem to be able to break this curse."

Sturridge's reaction was really too fast. Since Yang Feng's header was not close to the goal, there was still enough room for the players to react.

De Gea had already flew towards the side of Yang Feng's goal, but Sturridge, who had been standing in front of the goal, looking for an opportunity, happened to be near the flight line of Yang Feng's header.

He didn't choose to give up the ball and dodged by himself. Sturridge fell to the ground directly on the spot, and his head went up for a while, changing the flight path of the ball.

A change of direction at close range, no matter how superb De Gea is, it is impossible to find a point of strength in the air and change the direction of the save. This ball was just pushed in by Sturridge.

This time, the header relay between Yang Feng and Sturridge gave Liverpool the lead in just 3 minutes of the opening.

The Anfield stadium was boiling, and the singing of "You will never walk alone" was replaced by cheers all over the sky. Liverpool fans enjoyed their team's way of interfering with their singing process.

The Liverpool players on the field were also running wildly to celebrate.

"Sturridge! You have to treat me to dinner. I could have scored this goal, but you gave me an assist with a cross in the middle!"

"Please! I please!"

Yang Feng and Sturridge, the pair of scoring heroes, were joking while celebrating.

Then Sturridge "get rid of" the teammate's celebration team, and once again showed his iconic mechanical dance celebration in front of the fans, but this time he did not dance alone, and Yang Feng, who was given an assist, also "Random show" with him by his side.

The two danced mechanically on the court. Although Yang Feng's movements were extremely stiff and he didn't practice much at first glance, this also proved that the relationship between the two was really good, and the atmosphere in the Liverpool team was good.

Liverpool took the lead at the beginning of the game, and the pressure came to Manchester United's side in an instant.

Sturridge scored all three goals in Liverpool's league. During Suarez's ban, Sturridge transformed instantly and became one of the most terrifying and efficient shooters in the Premier League. one.

And the more terrifying Sturridge, plus an equally terrifying Suarez who easily scored 20+ goals this season, countless people are full of expectations for Liverpool's offensive firepower after Suarez returns.

Liverpool's blitz goal disrupted Moyes' pre-match deployment.

Moyes knew that this game would be very difficult at Anfield, but he did not expect that the team's defense would be broken so early.

But the team fell behind. In this "double red meeting", Moyes couldn't bear the consequences of failure. At this time, the players could only change their previous stability mentality and try to use offense to equalize the score.
