Football’s First Defender

When facing the goalkeeper of West Ham United, Yang Feng knew that as a defensive player, his shooting skills must not be comparable to that of Suarez, and it is easy to kick away recklessly, so he can only use certain fake moves to shake the opponent's goalkeeper.

From the time he took the ball into the penalty area, Yang Feng would occasionally unconsciously look towards the lower left corner of the goal, and even "unconsciously" tilted his hand to the left when swinging the ball.

In the run-up movement, when he took the last step, Yang Feng's left shoulder was also lower, and it was obvious that he was pushing his body to the left side.

Yang Feng's basic and subtle movements all fell into the eyes of the West Ham United goalkeeper. He reacted in advance and swooped to the right to maximize his blocking area.

However, Yang Feng did a full set of feints, and in the end, when he chose to hit the goal, he still chose to use his ankle to hook with his body tilted, and hit a spoon penalty that flew directly to the middle.

When the opponent's goalkeeper saw the trajectory of the shot, he was already unable to stop it.

The ball flew directly into the goal, and Yang Feng took a penalty kick with a spoon to complete his hat-trick in this game.

5 to 0, there were no twists and turns in the subsequent games. In the end, Liverpool beat the visiting West Ham United with 5 goals at home, and finally won another big victory.

In this game, as a central defender, Yang Feng, who completed a hat-trick, immediately became the focus of the media, and immediately detonated the Internet.

It is not uncommon for central defenders to score goals. In today's professional football environment, central defenders are originally the main force for set-pieces.

But it is very rare to score three goals in one game and directly complete the hat-trick.

Forward players who can complete hat-tricks in the game are worthy of special mention, let alone Yang Feng, as a central defender who is mainly responsible for defense and does not have much participation in offense.

Moreover, the third goal was scored when Suarez created a penalty kick himself and was the first penalty shooter on the field. He selflessly dedicated his personal penalty kick to Yang Feng. Behind this, Liverpool The harmonious atmosphere within the team is naturally worthy of media attention and excavation.

If it is said that the ups and downs of Liverpool's record in the previous few games made many fans who supported them and Yang Feng a little worried, then after this game, everyone saw Liverpool's powerful offensive firepower again, and even saw Liverpool's strong offensive power. The harmonious atmosphere inside also gave everyone more confidence in Liverpool.

This big victory is more about the improvement of the morale of the Liverpool team, the enhancement of cohesion, and the restoration of self-confidence.

Morale is a very illusory thing, although there is no substance, but it is always wrapped in the team.

The level of morale can sometimes directly affect the performance of the team members, allowing them to fully display their strength or limit them.

After the game, the Liverpool players did not go home immediately, but participated in a team dinner temporarily organized by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng, who had scored a hat-trick, was naturally willing to cut himself to pieces, and prepared to let Suarez and his teammates have a good feast with bloodletting.

After finishing some official interviews, everyone took a quick bath, and drove their luxury cars in twos and threes to one of the best local Chinese restaurants in Liverpool.

The complexity and variety of Chinese food, under Yang Feng's long-term recommendation, also made all Liverpool players like the taste of Chinese food.

Even though many dishes have been improved in taste and are not the orthodox Chinese food recognized by Yang Feng, for these players, they still eat with gusto.

Suarez, who has been "hanging around" with Yang Feng for the longest time, also fell in love with the orthodox Sichuan-flavored hot pot under Yang Feng's "guidance".

Yang Feng also doesn't know why Suarez, who obviously doesn't like spicy food very much, can have such a soft spot for spicy hot pot, although Suarez will always be under the sting of chrysanthemums the next day after eating hot pot, " I vowed to never eat hot pot again, but before long, the phrase "really fragrant" will perfectly interpret the charm of Chinese cuisine.

The victory of this game and the dinner this time are more like an outlet for the emotions of Liverpool players.

Due to the poor league record in the past few weeks, the players have been under tremendous pressure. Today's big victory just allows them to vent a bit.

When everyone was eating, Yang Feng also purposely had a private chat with Flanagan, the little brother.

Yang Feng highly praised his offensive performance today, and encouraged him to maintain this performance, so that Liverpool's offense can become even better.

For young people, the most important thing is encouragement, especially the encouragement from "Big Brother", which is crucial to the growth of their confidence.

Yang Feng is making every effort to teach young people like Flanagan by precept and example.

In Yang Feng's view, as a player who has proven himself in history, Flanagan has already fully demonstrated his ability and potential before he suffered a serious injury, and has grown into a qualified full-back player , and firmly established Liverpool's starting full-back position.

And Yang Feng only needs to use his own guidance to make Flanagan adjust his mentality faster, so Flanagan who awakened a few rounds in advance will definitely help Liverpool more.

And Flanagan, who was recognized by Yang Feng, also had a sense of morale spontaneously. Now that the core of the team's defense line has recognized him, it means that he can gain a foothold in the team and have the opportunity to express himself in the team.

Sometimes, the so-called fear, fear, is afraid of piercing that layer of window paper. If the window paper is pierced, naturally there will be no such psychological problems.

Because in the middle of the week, there is still the task of the last group match of the Champions League, so in the absence of a mid-week holiday, everyone's dinner did not last until it was too late.

Go to Italy in the middle of the week, the last game of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool challenged Naples away.

In Liverpool's previous game, they only lost one game, with four wins and one loss accumulating 12 points. As long as they draw this game, they can ensure the first place in the group.

Both Dortmund and Naples have 3 wins and 2 losses, with 9 points competing for second place in the group.

Taking into account the relationship between the two sides, if Dortmund can give Marseille a six-game losing streak, and Naples can beat Liverpool, then the three teams will have 12 points, and the three teams have the same relationship, and the three teams will be directly compared. goal difference.

For Liverpool, math problems are done by professionals, but it is not like the national team in a certain year, which has the best national background in mathematics recognized by the world, but can't figure out a few goal difference.

In this game, Liverpool did not lose and directly ranked first in the group with points advantage.

Even if they lose and Dortmund wins, as long as Liverpool does not lose 3 goals or more, Liverpool will get the right to qualify.

As far as Naples is concerned, they must first consider defeating Liverpool, and then they have to win a big victory. The pressure is not insignificant.

Liverpool did not fight too hard in the game. With two goals in the bottom line, Liverpool just needs to keep controlling the rhythm of the game.

0 to 2, although Liverpool lost to Naples, Dortmund defeated Marseille unsurprisingly, although they did not become the first in the group, but Liverpool also relied on the advantage of goal difference to become the second in the group and entered the Champions League knockout round among.

Higuain, who scored the team's second goal in the 87th minute, fought desperately in the last few minutes, but couldn't grab the ball again, failed to complete the comeback, and cried like a child at home after the game.

As for Naples, they won four games in the group stage and scored 12 points, but were unable to qualify for the promotion, and became the saddest UEFA Champions League exit.
