Football’s First Defender

After personally playing against future Red Army "thigh" players like Mane and Van Dijk, Yang Feng also understood that these two future Red Army scheduled players really had such strength when they were young. talent.

Although he is not a player from the youth training system of the giants, he did not show up in the middle and early stages of the league, and did not have such a high degree of media attention, but the strength of the players lies there. After this game, Yang Feng believes that with the development of the Premier League Go ahead, Mane and Van Dijk will surely be able to quickly prove their strength as in "history" and join the Red Army family as soon as possible.

When the time comes, Yang Feng thinks that his partner will be replaced by Van Dijk. Well, it feels like the most terrifying central defender combination in the world.

After a difficult 3-2 victory over Southampton at home, for Liverpool, the fourth round of the English League Cup against Bournemouth in midweek is a chance to rest and relax.

The main players will choose to sit on the sidelines in this kind of "tasteless competition", seize the rare time, take a break, slow down their physical fitness, and adjust their game status to cope with the weekend league.

For Klopp, he will not let his precious main players consume too much physical energy in such domestic cup matches, which will only make the subsequent league and Champions League schedules more difficult.

As for the long-term plan for a game like the English League Cup, Klopp intends not to send even one main player before the top 8. If he really relies on the mix and match of Liverpool's young players and the substitute lineup, he can reach the top. In the quarter-finals, Klopp will not care, and will easily hit a cup championship.

And this time Liverpool's opponent at home is Bournemouth. For this kind of Premier League opponent, for Liverpool, relying on a group of young people to win the world, how can it be possible to win the final victory.

The mixed lineup of Liverpool youth team players and many first-team substitute players, not to mention the limited strength, does not have a good tacit understanding. Facing Bournemouth, which is playing with all the main players, they are naturally not opponents, and they lost directly at home. .

Liverpool finally lost 0 to 2 at home to Bournemouth, which can be regarded as the end of Klopp's unbeaten record since he took office.

However, this kind of undefeated statistic that doesn't have much meaning is not so concerned about Klopp. The focus of his attention now is the weekend league, and the weekend league. In a big test, Liverpool played away at Stamford Bridge to challenge their old rival Chelsea.

Although it is a civil war between the six giants, the current situation of the two teams is very bad, and they can be called the brothers and sisters among the six giants.

Not to mention that Liverpool is still in the league rankings, Chelsea's record is worse than Liverpool's. Now that 10 rounds have passed, they only have 11 points and rank fifth in the Premier League.

In Yang Feng's eyes, the old club Chelsea, in the second year of Mourinho's second entry into the palace last season, did not win the championship in the historical trajectory, but it is still in the third year of Mourinho, according to The problem of internal strife appeared in the historical track.

After ten rounds of competition, Chelsea only achieved a poor record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. In five games at home, against non-rich teams, they only had a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. is quite angry.

With almost the same lineup, Chelsea was able to wrestle with several giants last season, and even maintained the pressure on Liverpool to win the championship.

This season, it fell directly into the abyss. Everyone knows that Chelsea has a big problem.

This season, the eyes of the audience are discerning, and it is obvious that in the Chelsea game, the players do not have that kind of spirit and can devote themselves to the game.

As the season progressed, the media continued to report that there was a serious gap between many Chelsea players and the coach "Madman" Mourinho, and even internal strife had already occurred within Chelsea.

This may be the development of football with the times.

When professional football is becoming commercialized, players will not play football purely for victory, for honor, team honor and personal development. In professional football, it is no longer as pure as it used to be.

"Madman" Mourinho is well-known in the entire football world for his ability to control the team and his strict requirements for the team's players.

When Porto won the Champions League, his first coaching experience at Chelsea, and then in the treble with Inter Milan, he performed quite well.

However, in the subsequent Real Madrid era, when dealing with the relationship with many big-name players, Mourinho's strict requirements on the team will naturally provide the players with considerable support when the team's performance is not good. pressure.

If the game results are good, then everything is easy to say, but if the game results are not good, Mourinho's almost harsh requirements for the team's defensive end may naturally arouse the resentment of the players.

In the end, the "stubborn" Mourinho will end his second career at Chelsea and leave get out of class sadly. Yang Feng knows all this, but he doesn't know that in this game, Liverpool can become the straw that crushes Mourinho.

However, although the Chelsea team is not performing well and there are always some problems in tactical execution, the personal abilities of the players on the court are still the top group of players. It can also play a pretty good offensive effect.

Chelsea's 451 formation today was put on the bench when Cesc Fabregas was put on the bench due to personal status problems.

On Chelsea's offensive end, although Diego Costa is still charging forward, but without Fabregas' pass in the back and the lack of "Faco Connection" to sort out the ball, Costa and other technical players In terms of cooperation, there is obviously a considerable lack of tacit understanding.

Perhaps when Mourinho gradually lost control over the team, Chelsea can only rely on a considerable number of outstanding offensive players and rely on their personal offensive ability to create a very good personal offensive performance.

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea showed a small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt relying on personal ability.

In the 4th minute of the game, Chelsea organized an attack in the frontcourt.

Oscar pulls to the left and catches the ball for a personal attack.

Facing Klein who was marking him, Oscar just walked in small steps on the sidewalk, making Klein fearful of his own breakthrough, and did not dare to make big moves.

On the other side, when Henderson came to defend, Oscar suddenly started, making a breakthrough, and after attracting Klein's defense, he rubbed the ball with his right foot and passed the ball directly to William, who was following up and attacking in the middle.

William didn't stop the ball and re-hit the ball back to the left. Azpilicueta, who happened to advance quickly, received the ball and made a pass directly from the bottom.

With a pass, he directly found his teammate Ramirez who followed up in the middle.

Under the cover of Costa, William and others in front of the goal, Ramirez suddenly advanced into the penalty area this time, and no Liverpool players completed the marking.

When Milner reacted and rushed to the defensive position, it was too late.

Facing Azpilicueta's precise pass, Ramirez went straight ahead and completed a head shake.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"Ramirez! Open the scoring for Chelsea!"

"A beautiful forward move, Ramirez suddenly participated in the team's attack and dealt a fatal blow to Liverpool's defense."

"Chelsea, opening blitz and taking the lead!"
