Football’s First Defender

Liverpool used almost the same method to create two excellent opportunities to score within minutes.

The first goal was blown offside by the linesman, and the second time, the goal was finally approved.

This goal is not only a 1-0 lead on the field, but also the threat of Liverpool's offense to Manchester City's defense, which is already somewhat unstoppable.

Korolaf was originally a very good full-back, but in this game, facing the young and impactful Sterling, it was obvious that Korolaf suffered a big loss in speed.

Both times, Sterling stepped on the offside line and completed the final diagonal penetration to get rid of. This time the side defense was obviously not enough for Korolav alone. Sterling faced Korolav at a single point. At that time, there was a huge personal advantage, and now it is necessary for others on the Manchester defense line to form more support and protection for Korolav's side to limit Sterling's attack.

After Liverpool took the lead in the score, Manchester City, which played at home, naturally had no reason to back down. The game evolved into a needle-point vs. Maimang situation, which was truly wonderful.

Especially after Manchester City fell behind, the offensive rhythm on the offensive end has changed faster. It is hoped that with the advantage of the home court, the gap of one goal can be recovered.

Manchester City, playing at home, used the huge advantages of the two wingers to start long passes again and again, or used the speed of the wing players to focus on the ribs between the Liverpool wing players and the central defenders.

The cross from the wing constantly threatens Liverpool’s penalty area. However, under Yang Feng’s guard, even Silva, Feijiao, or Yaya Toure will attack, but it threatens Liverpool’s midfield. , But it has not reached the maximum level.

However, on the defensive end, Liverpool still had to send a large number of corner kicks, giving Manchester City the opportunity to use set-pieces to score goals.

Manchester City today is not the best pass and control team in Europe a few years later.

Today's Manchester City tactical philosophy includes transmission and control, but also quite simple offensive tactics.

Looking at Negredo on the front line, a forward player like Dzeko with the characteristics of a traditional center, we know that at a critical moment, the use of the most traditional long pass, Manchester City also has a huge threat.

The set ball is one of Manchester City's weapons at this time.

At the back line, Kompany and Lescott’s partner, they both have very good ability to fight, plus Negredo and Yaya Toure, Manchester City are not in the high point fight. Downwind.

In the 31st minute of the game, Manchester City had their fourth corner kick in this game.

The corner kick from Silva drew a wonderful arc and dropped straight to the point before the small penalty area.

Under the entanglement of Skrtel, Kompany moved forward "slowly", but forcibly completed the jump.

Skrtel's hand pulling action has not stopped, and even has lifted Kompany's entire jersey, making Kompany almost into a state, but still can't stop Kompany's jump.

Jumping forward, shook his head, and Skrtel couldn't complete the block after taking off. Kompany smashed out a bouncing earth, the ball first landed and bounced and flew directly into the goal.

1 to 1!

Kompany evened the score for Manchester City.

Whenever Manchester City plays a key game, the healthy Kompany will always be the most reassuring point in Manchester City's formation. He can always use the opportunity of set-pieces to give the team's offense and make a considerable difference. contribution.

For Kompany's goal, Skrtel is also quite helpless.

Kompany, who is not too tall, has a type like Yang Feng, who has an excellent ability to judge where he will fall.

And Kompany, who was standing in the middle of the road at the beginning, has been fighting Scott Heat about the position. However, in the process of hand-to-hand combat between the two, Kompany suddenly withdrew and moved to the left. He wanted to follow the defense, but Kompany was relying on a very strong body to completely block Scotter's forward path.

This also makes Skrtel can only pull his jersey frantically on Kompany’s side and rear to interfere with Kompany’s take-off, but under such a pull, he can still take off fully, Kompany’s body The strength of the core strength is evident.

Yang Feng comforted his frustrated partner. When the score changed back to 1 to 1, this game only returned to the same starting line.

At 0-0, both sides still have restraint on the offensive end. They both defend first and then try to attack.

But when the two teams each scored a goal, the rhythm of the game has undergone a fundamental change.

Neither team is satisfied with the current draw.

Liverpool's lead was pulled back, naturally unwilling to be ruined in this way.

And Manchester City, sitting in the field, with great momentum, after equalizing the score, naturally want to further complete the reversal of the game.

The counterattack that the audience expected was finally staged in the last stage of the first half of the game~www.NovelMTL.com~ The two teams opened up, relying on the strong impact of the offensive players to attack the opponent's defense line, and unfolded fiercely. Shock.

When the two sides open up and fight against each other, each team can get a larger counterattack space, making the game very open and beautiful.

In particular, Manchester City, which is playing at home, is familiar with the venue, and fans cheer on their ears. Compared with Liverpool, they can use every attack more rationally and create more threatening opportunities.

In particular, Manchester City's two wings can rely on speed to create a great threat in a counterattack.

The Manchester City midfielder, with an all-around midfielder like David Silva, can easily take on the heavy task of sorting out the ball during the counterattack.

During a Manchester City counterattack in the 36th minute of the game, Silva received a through pass from Yaya Toure on the left side of Liverpool's penalty area and easily unloaded the football to avoid the upper hand from Yang Feng.

Then, after an easy step back, he sent a diagonal through ball with his left foot and found Nasri, who successfully reversed offside.

Silva gave this through ball with great strength, so that Nasri didn't need to slow down at all, and kept accelerating, so he could get the ball and start the attack directly.

Nas continued to play with the ball. Fortunately, Flanagan held the line and did not let Nasri break through the past to create a greater offensive threat.

In the end, Nasri could only choose a sudden stop to dial the ball, and then took advantage of the opportunity that Flanagan could not come forward to defend, and directly completed a volley to hit the goal.

Fortunately, Mignole was focused.

In the face of Nasri’s kick, Mignolet reacted quickly and flopped to block the ball. Yang Feng reacted quickly second, and directly cleared the ball with his big foot, which resolved the dangerous counterattack of Manchester City. .
