Football’s First Defender

I have to say that Yang Feng is the kind of player who values ​​both luck and strength!

Its ability to quickly embark on a career path is inseparable from the wisdom of Zenit's youth training coach, and it is inseparable from the vigorous promotion of Zenit's head coach, Mr. Ed Wocart! And now, the fellow of Edvorkat and the head coach of the Russian national team, Mr. Hiddink, is still planning to reuse Yang Feng in the new team. Perhaps Yang Feng's type of central defender is the kind of perfect central defender required by the Dutch football concept of full attack and defense. Anyway, the two Dutch coaches are very fond of Yang Feng!

In the training match, when the three forwards were advancing, the midfielder lacked sufficient offensive creativity. It was obvious that two full-backs were needed to move forward. Chelsea, who was driving the side attack, actually had obvious loopholes in the defense. !

Although the three midfielders have excellent defensive capabilities and interception capabilities, they will still be unable to achieve a comprehensive interception at some point, allowing one of the substitutes to counterattack to the huge open space on the two sides!

At this time, Yang Feng's role was perfectly demonstrated!

All of this was expected by Hiddink. After all, although Essien suffered a knee injury during the national team game at the beginning of the season, he needed another month of training, but Mikel’s defensive contribution is actually catching up with Essien’s performance! Lampard and Ballack are also the kind of midfielders who are diligent in running and strong in coverage. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary ground passes to penetrate the blockade of three people!

If you want to hit Chelsea's defense line, it is the best choice to cross the interception of the three midfielders, high ball, and long-distance through plug!

However, these two passing options happen to be Yang Feng's best way of intercepting the ball!

Hiddink didn't know what his predecessor Scolari thought. He would rather constantly seek to increase the number of wingers than let go of the offensive capabilities of his two full-backs. Maybe it's because the combination of Alex and Terry really can't stand the gap left by the full-backs coming forward!

But Yang Feng can! Just giving up Yang Feng's greatest advantage, Hiddink doubted that Scolari really carefully studied Yang Feng's past game videos?

Yang Feng's technical characteristics, during Hiddink's one-year observation period, are definitely the most suitable for those giants, especially the offensive giants!

Although in pure positional defense and limited by pure physical talent, Yang Feng is not so brilliant, but after enough hard training, in the European Cup final, Hiddink has found Yang Feng, in the positional battle, With the gradual strengthening of physical confrontation ability, the defensive level has at least reached the level of the guards of the top five European leagues!

Coupled with Yang Feng's ability to predict the impact and reaction speed that has already made all passers in the Russian Super League, Hiddink doesn't think Yang Feng has the ability to establish a foothold in the Premier League! It can only be said that Scolari has been stubborn, but missed such a defensive talent that can change Chelsea!

Although Hiddink himself had a break between the national team matches, he stayed up late and worked overtime and watched many videos of Alex and Belletti!

Indeed, as the two Brazilian internationals, there is no doubt in terms of strength, and there must be a level of first-class central defenders! Otherwise it won't have a place in Chelsea!

And while the two contribute to the defensive end, they also have the Brazilian offensive talent. Belletti's central defender's flaming gold attribute is indeed a supplement to the team's lineup. And Alex's heavy bombardment from the periphery can indeed enrich the team's offensive options!

However, it is inevitable that the two are not the kind of defensive players with general demeanor!

The central defender Terry himself is a typical England central defender who is tenacious, fierce and good at grabbing, while Alex and Belletti's defensive methods are similar to those of Terry, overlapping!

This has also caused Chelsea’s defense. When facing a positional battle and opening a defensive position, there may not be any major problems, but when it comes to counterattacks, or a strong team that is good at controlling the ball and playing penetration, it always There will be various problems on the line of defense!

In the top professional football leagues, when there are obvious defensive shortcomings, under the constant use of opponents, they will be broken by points, destroying Chelsea's entire defensive system!

After observation and comparison, it is also possible that in terms of overall strength, Yang Feng and Alex, who has already become famous in Europe, still have a small gap, but in terms of team matching style, Hiddink boldly uses Yang Feng instead of continuing to use Alex. s reason!

Perhaps Carvalho's style is also very popular with Hiddink, but Carvalho will continue to heal his injuries for a while, so reusing Yang Feng becomes the only choice!

And in these recent games, Alex's performance on the defensive end is indeed not so good. Last season, Alex had to compete with Carvalho on the defensive end and maintained his state fairly well. This season, due to Carvalho's injury and Scolari's infinite trust in him, Alex has not been able to maintain a better state of play than the previous season without competitive pressure!

All kinds of mistakes, and defensive misses, often put Chelsea, who has already had an advantage in the game, into the quagmire!

Now, Hiddink only hopes to use the promoted Yang Feng to rejuvenate Chelsea's defense line, and effectively stimulate Alex, so that he can regain his state!

As for Abramovich, who is determined to make Chelsea an absolute powerhouse in Europe, in addition to the main players’ policy of buying, buying, buying, Chelsea’s investment in youth training has also been huge in recent years. This also makes Chelsea’s reserve talent very high. adequate.

Even as the main training team, Chelsea's training team composed of substitute players and youth training players is not too bad!

Perhaps it is also the 433 formation. It is also the first time for Chelsea players to use it. Although on the offensive end, everyone is very happy due to the large number of people. However, in the offensive process, there are also problems due to the inconsistency between the players. Fewer turnovers!

Quaresma and Malouda, who will be placed on the bench in the next game, naturally have to prove their abilities again in front of the new coach!

To seize the opportunity of the main force's mistake is to slam behind the two full-backs!

Everyone is a long-time teammate. For the midfield composed of Ballack, Mikel, and Lampard, no one wants to go directly to the bad. Simply speaking of the defensive level of the center, Chelsea is definitely the world's first, without a team and Players can say that they attacked Chelsea's central defense frontally!

But the wing is not necessarily the case, especially if there is enough space to turn the game into a 100-meter sprint. No matter how strong Chelsea's midfielder is, it is absolutely impossible to compete with these simple wing players!

Malouda took advantage of the main team's offensive pass error and ran wildly behind Ashley Cole!

He believes in his teammates' long pass ability. After all, Deco is on his side. With such a big gap in the backcourt, Deco will definitely not miss such an opportunity!

When the ball was cut off by Alex and immediately transferred to Deco’s feet, Deco of course had already seen the main team, the empty backcourt area, especially the two wide sides, due to the large margins of the two full-backs. Plug it in, almost always in an undefended state!

And because it was a training match, everyone obviously closed their kicks. Naturally, it would not be like in the game when someone fouled, shoveled, and blocked Deco's pass!

After Deco's adjustment, a long pass gave enough advance, Malouda can sprint at full speed and chase the football!

only! In the current Chelsea main team, there is not only the world's top midfield defensive team, but also the world-class Yang Feng when defending the opponent's counterattack!

This kind of high-altitude pass, for Yang Feng, you can see the location of the landing and the flight trajectory of the ball at a glance. All that is left is to evaluate his body, whether he can keep up with his mind, and find the best defense plan. !

The result that the brain feeds back at the end, of course, rest assured to chase it, this ball is no problem!

Malouda is still running along the sideline~www.NovelMTL.com~ while looking up at the ball's flight path, preparing to take off the football!

But with the light of his eyes, he saw Yang Feng also rushing towards him with all his strength!

Malouda has already figured out in his heart, what kind of technical action will be used to get rid of Yang Feng's defense after unloading the football, and directly into the penalty area!

After all, in such a high-speed movement state, the central defender will cover long distances, and generally choose to be on the safe side. Most of the defenders follow the opponent's counterattacks. Those who want to directly head the ball will mostly have limited time. Under the circumstances, it is impossible to grasp the landing point and take-off height, even if it is not a top leak, as long as the ball cannot be fully exerted, it will give the counterattack a second chance to land. At that time, because the central defender took off, the landing time was long enough. The defense will be gone!

It's just that Yang Feng is not an ordinary central defender!

Deco's pass was too deep and there was a landing, so the speed was not so fast. Yang Feng directly used a full-speed approach to take off. In Malouda's shocked eyes, Yang Feng directly jumped into the sky. Behind Malouda, the football, which was still in the process of falling, was directly pushed firmly and out of bounds!

Hiddink on the sidelines is very happy. This is Yang Feng, the defender he admires most in the Russian Super League! No accidents happen, it is always so stable!

Anyway, in the Zenit game he is concerned about, when Yang Feng is fighting for the top ball, unless he encounters an opponent's foul, or the kind of large-scale physical confrontation that is deliberately ignored by the referee, he will miss the top and the head. A ball turnover has never been seen in Yang Feng's body!

And there are a bunch of world-class midfielders, forming the first blockade in front of Yang Feng, and Yang Feng can confidently make up for the gaps in the side lanes at the back line!
