Football’s First Defender

Liverpool's home defeat to Real Madrid, which is in good form, was generally predicted by the outside world before the game, because Liverpool has many problems. Even though the team had won two consecutive victories in the league before, there are still big gaps compared with Real Madrid today. difference.

Even though Liverpool won consecutive victories, they have not been recognized by everyone. Firstly, it is because the opponents are not strong, and secondly, Liverpool did not show too much suppression in the game.

Compared with last season's all-conquering Liverpool, this season's Liverpool is definitely a bit mediocre.

In the home game against Real Madrid, Liverpool showed a considerable gap with Real Madrid on both offensive and defensive ends, and was completely suppressed by Real Madrid at Anfield.

This is the Anfield stadium, today it has become empty talk, Liverpool did not pose too much threat to Real Madrid at all.

Liverpool's current predicament has also been extended to experts' interpretation of the new Premier League season.

Compared with Chelsea, which has been strong this season, and Manchester City, which double-killed Liverpool at the beginning of the game, many people believe that Liverpool's journey to defend the title may be doomed to end in failure.

However, Liverpool don't think so.

Although they lost in the Champions League, Liverpool still wanted to prove themselves in the league.

Against Hull City at home, Rogers carefully prepared some team tactics, hoping to show the players' confidence in a mid-range team like Hull City.

It's just that after the game, Liverpool won the victory, but this victory for Liverpool came extremely difficult and "ugly".

The whole team launched a comprehensive siege against the visiting team Hull City at Anfield, but they did not create a good offensive opportunity at all.

Liverpool still returned to the core issue of the previous few games, gaining momentum without scoring.

Compared with a few seasons ago, under the coach of Dalglish, Liverpool can simply rely on piling up offensive players to create offensive opportunities.

Now Liverpool's striker lacks height, and players in the penalty area do not have such a strong ability to grab points on the spot.

Even though Rogers let the two full-backs continue to assist in advance, the effect of crossing from the wing is not good, and there is not enough threatening responders in the center.

The side kicking effect is not good, and the pass penetration is not as good as last season. Everyone wants to play and prove themselves, but it makes the team's poor teamwork even worse. up.

Liverpool, which lacks offensive creativity, still needs to rely on Yang Feng to stand up and break the deadlock when they are running towards the 0-0 end of the game against Hull City.

Liverpool's corner in the 83rd minute.

With the help of Sturridge and Balotelli's active running, Yang Feng finally got a chance in front of the goal to compete for the top without enough defensive pressure.

Yang Feng, who had always been double-teamed before, faced the opponent's one-man defense this time, and easily shook off the defender, won the jumping space, and completed the head-shaking attack.

The Hull City goalkeeper who dedicated the entire game to making wonderful saves in front of the goal, this time, faced with Yang Feng's header that flew into the dead corner, there was nothing he could do.

1 to 0!

It was with Yang Feng's key header that Liverpool struggled to win at home.

Relying on the goal of the central defender, it was difficult to win at the last moment of the game. The overall attack of Liverpool's team can be seen as a big problem.

But no matter what, at least it has won three consecutive league victories. For Liverpool, the improvement of the team's league record is obvious.

After this game, Liverpool, which had fallen to the middle and lower reaches of the league at the beginning of the season, returned to the top four in the league, and the strength of West Ham United in front of them was not strong.

As far as the form of points is concerned, there is no doubt that at least Liverpool is now the third place among the six giants after Chelsea and Manchester City.

The remaining top three have their own problems at the beginning of the season. At least Liverpool's record has rebounded now.

In the midweek League Cup, Liverpool's substitute lineup played triumphantly again, and Liverpool challenged Newcastle away on the weekend.

So far this season, Newcastle has 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. The team has many problems on both offensive and defensive ends.

However, at home, Newcastle performed extremely well in this game.

The team's extremely oppressive press directly dispelled Liverpool's pass-and-control style of play.

The Liverpool midfielders began to have trouble organizing their offense, let alone trying to find a way to break Newcastle's full defense.

On the contrary, Newcastle, relying on a strong defense, brought more counterattack opportunities, constantly threatening the defense space behind Liverpool's offensive players.

Yang Feng's strength alone is limited. Although Yang Feng made many successful defenses during the game, he still couldn't defend against all the attacks from Newcastle.

It is also too much space left by the teammates in front of him.

In the face of a Newcastle 3-on-2 defensive counterattack, Yang Feng wanted to directly pay a foul to stop the opponent's advance, but the opponent scored the ball first. In front of the referee's favorable offensive gesture, the opponent 2-on-1, passing consecutively, Played with Skrtel and Mignolet, and finally succeeded in pushing an empty goal, leaving Liverpool behind in the away game.

Although Liverpool scrambled to catch up afterwards, Liverpool's offensive has indeed improved, but it is still not too offensive.

In the end, Newcastle, relying on the solid iron barrel formation at home, scored zero against Liverpool and achieved a 1-0 upset score.

As for Liverpool, the problem of lack of attack under the cover of the beautiful cloak of three consecutive league victories just now was once again mentioned by people because of the loss in this game.

"Another Tottenham! One exchange is too many, but it's useless!"

"From 2s to 3s last season, and now back to 2s, but s has changed, and Liverpool's offense has changed so much."

"Last season, I thought Sterling and Coutinho were absolute young talents, and I thought Sturridge was a super shooter on par with Suarez, but this season, after the lack of Suarez, their performance It’s really unbearable.”

I am most afraid of comparison in everything. Without comparison, there will be no harm.

After a few months, the gap between the two Liverpool teams is so large, which everyone has never thought of, especially for some fans who were champions a few months ago, they were lost in an instant. Liverpool seemed to be beaten back to its original form and became a lot The object of the fans' attack.

Of course, with Liverpool in such a miserable situation, Yang Feng has always been a clear stream in Liverpool's formation.

Not only the domestic fans of Yang Feng's basic set appreciate Yang Feng, but even many foreign fans and professional football professionals sincerely appreciate Yang Feng's performance.

He even made it clear that when Liverpool's offense was so lacking in threat, Yang Feng's defense helped Liverpool a lot. Otherwise, in some games, Liverpool would lose miserably, and in some games, Liverpool would not be able to win at all.

However, no matter how good a personal evaluation is, it is useless. Yang Feng wants to win, and he wants to win for the team, while Liverpool urgently needs to regain confidence and find a solution to the current problem.
