Football’s First Defender

"Liverpool gave this corner, and it was a tactical corner as expected. Riera gave the ball to Gerrard who was on the wing!"

"Liverpool is still unwilling to compete head-on with Chelsea's defensive lineup in the penalty area for the top goal!"

"Every time you need to conduct a transmission, try again to see if there is a chance to pass the ball into the penalty area, creating a greater threat!"

"This time, Gerrard did not choose to directly sweep the ball into the penalty area, but moved the ball back to the middle, ready to reorganize an attack!"

Seeing Liverpool’s players “recognize” once again! Some of the Chelsea players can only pounce outside according to the established defensive tactics to prevent the Liverpool players, taking advantage of the Chelsea players to retract the defensive corner kick and shoot directly from long range. Although due to the large number of Chelsea in the penalty area, long-range shots are likely to be blocked by Chelsea players with their bodies, but if there is an accident in the process, it will achieve a change in the direction of the goal, which is bad!

So simply let most of the players run out, to clear the field of vision in front of Cech, so that Cech can have time to observe and prepare, and secondly, it does not give the Liverpool players too many shots!

Gerrard passed the ball to Harvey Alonso in the middle position! Although Alonso wanted to come forward and take a long shot, he tried a lot of long shots today, but his toe was not hard enough, and the opponent goalkeeper Cech’s performance has always been very good. At the critical moment, Alonso did not want to make seemingly meaningless "spray shots"!

However, Harvey Alonso, who was in charge of midfield scheduling, suddenly discovered that Kuyt, who was always in the penalty area, cooperated with Torres and occupied the post point position, this time in the corner kick tactics, unexpectedly retreated secretly. After a few steps, he withdrew to the edge of the big penalty area, and Terry, who was in charge of defending him, did not follow the guard in the chaotic process of his own players threw out!

This is definitely a good opportunity for Liverpool!

"Harvey Alonso, received the pass from Gerrard steadily, and then suddenly sent the ball hard and pushed the ball near the Chelsea penalty area line!"

"Receiving the pass?"

"Kuyt!"

"At this time at the penalty zone line, ready to catch the ball!"

"This ball!"

"Terry missed someone! He is still a few steps away from Kuyt!"

The moment Harvey Alonso passed the ball, Terry looked down the trajectory of the pass and felt that something was not good. For this ball, he hadn’t noticed Kuyt’s position just now, so he missed it. !

Perhaps it is also that Terry has always only regarded the penalty area as his own defensive range, ignoring the possibility that Kuyt will run into the penalty area to take the ball!

Of course, Chelsea’s usual positions will have enough defensive numbers. Since Kuyt is out of the penalty area, there will naturally be Chelsea midfielders to stop him!

It’s just that, just in the stage of defending Liverpool’s corner kicks, when the Chelsea players rushed out to attack the defensive position outside the penalty area, the players rushed to their respective defenders. At this time, no one really had the time to take care of Kuy special!

Seeing Kuyt catching the ball, Terry could only choose to move forward quickly, hoping to stop Kuyt!

However, Kuyt is also a Dutch with a lot of offensive attributes! After receiving the ball, the adjustment ability is extremely good, and the action is completed very quickly, which gives Terry no chance to make up for his mistakes!

"Kuyt directly stopped the ball and pulled the ball, pulled a step into the penalty area, and then hit the goal directly on the right side of the penalty area!"

"This kick is strong!"

For Kuyt himself, although Kuyt’s goals in this entire season may not be too many, it is because of his insufficient status in Liverpool’s tactics and more often as a wingman for the trump card. ! When playing double forwards, it is to help Torres contain the defensive players. When playing single forwards, it is to act as a player on the right side, opening up space for Torres and delivering passes!

But in fact, as a fairly good shooter, Kuyt's shooting skills are beyond doubt.

You must know that before moving to Liverpool, Kuyt maintained a single-season 20+ goals in the Dutch League for three consecutive seasons. Even when he came to Liverpool in these two seasons, Kuyt was limited by tactical requirements. The number of goals is not as many as in the previous seasons in the Eredivisie, but about 10 goals per season is still guaranteed!

It is conceivable that Kuyt's shooting quality is definitely not low when there is almost no interference from defensive players!

"With a vigorous volley, 45 degrees from the right, hit a diagonal line and go straight to the upper left corner of the goal!"

"Cech, after moving in small steps, take off hard and throw sideways!"

"But Kuyt hit the goal too fast, and Cech didn't make it!"

"This ball!"

"It's a little bit difference!"

"Almost flew out against the pillar, Chelsea escaped!"

"Kuyt's kick is too angled. Although he avoided Cech's save, he still missed the goal slightly!"

In addition to goalkeeper Cech, the most afraid of this goal is to lose his defender's Terry. Fortunately, the goal was not scored in the end. Terry's hanging heart finally fell and made himself more. Concentrate, there must be no more such omissions!

Liverpool’s offensive wave after wave, although most of the time facing Chelsea, they are at their peak defensive status, Liverpool rarely get excellent shot opportunities, and more can only choose to show helpless long shots to create Hit the number of times, fight for blind cats and dead mice!

However, the Liverpool players are not discouraged, and are still trying all kinds of offensive methods without hesitation. The goal is to score again at home!

And the constant long-range shooting attempts, sometimes it is really possible to bring unexpected surprises!

After all, in football, sometimes luck is also an expression of strength!

"Xavi Alonso, after taking the ball in the middle, he chose a long shot again!"

"It is true that Chelsea's defensive formation is very well maintained at this stage. Liverpool's interspersed attack has stalled under Chelsea's copper wall. After Xavi Alonso's search for the pass goal failed, he could only choose to come by himself. foot!"

"The quality of this long shot is not bad, but the angle of the shot is not well adjusted, is it a bit positive?

Today's Cech, on the defensive end, faces the opponents most of the way he hits the goal is the long shots of the Liverpool players. Cech's previous saves have been excellent! However, this time Cech, in the process of receiving the ball, was indeed affected by some home atmosphere!

Under the huge noise interference on the scene, coupled with Harvey Alonso’s shot, during the flight, it seemed that due to the strong rotation, there was a slight arc that caused the flight trajectory to deviate, and Cech obviously felt that he needed to change the connection. When playing golfer, the reaction is a bit slow!

"Boom!"

Due to the fact that Cech moved to the position and the position was better, this long shot would definitely not be able to score, but Cech’s own catcher was not adjusted to the best, facing Harvey Alonso’s It's obvious that you can't control it with a powerful kick!

"Get off! Cech actually made a mistake in the game and got off!"

"The ball bounced back to the penalty area, and there was instant chaos in the penalty area!"

Yang Feng took a look at Harvey Alonso's long-range shot, and compared it with Cech who was moving in the Yu Guangzhong. He already thought that there was no big threat. This kick should be taken by Cech firmly!

However, fortunately, Yang Feng has always belonged to the kind of player who is cautious and never lazy in everything. Judgment rests on judgment. Yang Feng has always been a defensive person who will do what he can do and do the best!

Therefore, Yang Feng still maintains his vigilance, and the state of guarding Torres!

The moment Cech let go, Yang Feng immediately reacted, wanting to step forward to relieve the siege!

However, Torres’ reaction is not slow. Perhaps this is the sense of smell of a striker. There is no pass trajectory to rely on in dealing with this unexpected opportunity. It simply compares the reaction speed between players and the instantaneous explosive power of the body. It is Yang Feng, and he is still at a natural disadvantage!

"Torres! Like a cheetah, suddenly forward!"

"Refill!"

"Torres! Leaning back in the process of direct acceleration~www.NovelMTL.com~ reached out and finished the stabbing!"

"Liverpool's chance to shoot back! Fly to the bottom right corner of the goal!"

"Ah! Yang Feng!"

"When Cech made a sideways save, but couldn't help stabbing the ground ball in the left hand area, Yang Feng rushed out from the other side!"

Although Yang Feng was competing with Torres's speed, because of his pure reaction speed and instantaneous acceleration, he was at a disadvantage and was unable to successfully tackle the block when Torres finished his stabbing!

But Yang Feng has been in a very sober state!

Seeing that Cech was on the right side of the goal in order to block this long shot before, so the right half of the goal for Cech is almost safe because of his own position. , As a top shooter, Torres will subconsciously choose to go to the empty space where Cech stands, and the huge empty space on the left hand side will aim at the goal. This is what Yang Feng needs to do at this time!

Yang Feng kept running without slowing down, and ran straight to the post in Cech's left hand. At Torres, he threw his body out and forcibly touched Cech's football with his toes. When he finished the stabbing, Yang Feng also continued to move forward. Throw yourself out and slide on the turf, looking forward to blocking!

Fortunately, Torres’s kick did not exert much force. Although the angle was tricky and he ran straight to the lower left corner of the goal, Cech himself was powerless at such close range, but he also gave Yang Feng a relief. opportunity!

"During acceleration, directly lower the center of gravity and slide on the ground, Yang Feng! It is almost on the door line, completing the encirclement!"

"Chelsea's hero! With Yang Feng's clearance on the goal line, Chelsea still maintains the lead in the away game!"
