Football’s First Defender

Liverpool's defensive formation, in terms of overall performance, although there are certain minor flaws, it can still be regarded as having a good performance.

In the face of Barcelona's offensive impact, although Liverpool's wing defense is tight, but in the defensive construction of the center, it is absolutely solid.

Neymar and Messi have excellent personal offensive capabilities. How to solve that defensive end is a world-class problem.

It is a fact that the sidewalk was exploded, and it would be a last resort to restrict these two superstars with two or even three people. However, ensuring the stability of the center is Liverpool's defensive bottom line.

Neymar also has Messi's breakthrough, and he will suffer Liverpool's fastest defensive double-teaming when inside. As for going directly on the wing, Liverpool's defensive player is a laissez-faire attitude.

It's good to be able to keep the defensive following, and make some pass interference appropriately. Liverpool's main defensive energy is all placed on the defense of the players in the center, as well as the places where other players in the front field of Barcelona interspersed.

Except for Yang Feng's 1v1 single defense against Suarez, the rest of the Liverpool players are all regional defenses to control their own defense zone and absolutely cannot let Barcelona find a chance.

At the same time in Liverpool, Yang Feng and Suarez did some offensive and defensive training in private training.

Yang Feng is familiar with Suarez's offensive skills, but in the same way, Suarez also knows how to avoid Yang Feng's defense.

At the beginning of the game, Suarez tried two offenses with the ball, but they were both defended by Yang Feng. Suarez retreated more to open up the offensive space, forcing Yang Feng to venture out this time.

Of course, Yang Feng’s farthest distance is to rush out of the back line, near the penalty zone line, waiting for Suarez’s offensive impact, not like a real midfielder, rushing out to maintain the full court against Suarez Follow up.

After Suarez opened up enough space to retreat offensively, he used his comprehensive offensive ability to launch an impact anywhere on the court. There is no set way. Barcelona is also familiar with this sudden attack rhythm.

However, Liverpool's united defense, in the early stages of the game, still had a very good defensive effect.

In the intensive opening of the offensive, but to no effect, Barcelona also began to seek to use the pass between players in the backcourt to restore some physical strength.

When this kind of opponent loses strength, it is Liverpool's best counterattack opportunity before the game.

Liverpool's midfielder has used quite skilled frontcourt presses this season and immediately started to try to steal the ball in the game and complete a local counterattack.

However, when Liverpool was dispatched for a frontcourt press, the advancement of Liverpool's overall lineup also gave Barcelona more offensive space.

Barcelona's backcourt pass may not be used to regain strength to lead the snake out of the hole.

Liverpool's frontcourt press is not inactive, it is not inactive.

However, they may face the entire football world, the team with the strongest ability to control the ball, not even one of them.

Barcelona's deep-rooted passing control system makes them always pass the ball with ease and find someone to easily break Liverpool's frontcourt.

For transmission and control, Barcelona is professional.

Everyone can play the ball and everyone can be the pass point. In the position of the goalkeeper, the Cubs Ter Stegen is also perfectly integrated into Barcelona's passing control system and can send accurate passes.

Let Barcelona's move to "lead the snake out of the hole", with quite good results.

Liverpool’s fast forward press forced the Barcelona players to constantly pass the ball backwards, and the ball was finally passed to Ter Stegen’s feet.

And Sterling used his speed advantage to directly attack the "Little Lion King", just to force the goalkeeper to make mistakes.

However, Ter Stegen is not afraid of danger. Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper may directly choose to clear the ball to avoid mistakes.

And Ter Stegen, there is still time to accurately observe some, before Sterling came to grab the spot, completed the run-up and sent a long pass.

The kick passed near the midfield, near the right line.

Only Messi and Liverpool defensive player Moreno will fall in the area.

Because of Ter Stegen's full power, the ball passed quickly.

Moreno, who was still a certain distance away from Messi, couldn't rush to the landing position at all, and Tile City interfered with Messi.

The ball landed accurately on top of Messi's head, Messi took off, headed directly, and slanted the ball to the front.

At this time, due to Liverpool's tight frontcourt siege.

The entire line of defense moved forward as a whole.

No one thought that Ter Stegen's pass would be so fast, so precise, and not directly hitting Liverpool's rear half, but passing to the midfielder Messi.

The completion of Messi's header ferry has surprised many people.

However, Suarez has been speeding up after more than half of the season, and he is the first to pursue Messi's header and start Barcelona's offense.

A very basic stop.

In the process of fast running, almost stop the ball without slowing down, and continue to dribble the ball forward at high speed. This stop-the-ball action alone can embarrass many high-paying national players.

After that, Suarez exploded at his fastest speed, dribbling the ball to accelerate forward.

The only person who followed him closely was Yang Feng not far away.

In this kind of empty backcourt, what Liverpool needed to do was to keep everyone in the defensive position, and not to let Yang Feng stare at Suarez and run meaningless in this situation of defending the opponent's counterattack. move.

But when Suarez in the Lovren defense zone moved forward quickly, Lovren's reaction speed was too slow to form an effective block.

Fortunately, Yang Feng focused and saw Suarez's course without the ball, and he was ready.

When Messi's header ferry was completed, Yang Feng had already started and rushed back to defend.

But once, the starting positions of the two were different, and Yang Feng could not interfere with Suarez in the first place.

Secondly, Suarez's speed, although not top-notch, is definitely much better than a tall central defender like Yang Feng.

Compared to the sprint speed, Yang Feng definitely does not possess it.

Although Yang Feng used experience and excellent game reading ability, he integrated Suarez's possible offensive route and planned the shortest route.

However, in Yang Feng's own hunch, it is not easy to completely block Suarez's attack, and he can only do his job in peace.

Facts have proved that Suarez's game state is excellent, and he did not consume too much will to play in La Liga where there is not much competitiveness.

When Yang Feng chased into the penalty area from the other direction and could cause interference, Suarez obviously took the ball one step faster than Yang Feng's defense was in place, and he was already able to make a single shot.

Although Yang Feng could not form a substantial interference, he still gave Suarez a certain amount of offensive pressure due to Yang Feng's full sprint from the side and rear.

After Yang Feng forced Suarez into the penalty area, he did not dare to make too many adjustments in the penalty area. Instead, near the penalty spot, facing the attacking Mignole, he completed a push.

Yang Feng's sliding shovel didn't even have time to block a shot angle, but Suarez's psychological pressure on Yang Feng has worked.

Suarez's push may have a tough angle, but the shooting power is not strong and the ball speed is not fast, allowing Mignole to have enough time to fall to the ground. The right leg of the split reluctantly expanded the defensive area and completed the block.

"Suarez hit the door solo!"

"Be blocked!"

"Yang Feng immediately completed a bigfoot relief!"

"Mignole, became a hero of Liverpool!"

Liverpool players are all fortunate, fortunate Suarez did not seize the opportunity, fortunate that he has such an outstanding goalkeeper.

After clearing the siege, Yang Feng stood in the penalty area and gasped.

After all, with such a size, from near the midfield line, sprinting at full speed into the penalty area, running such a short distance, the physical consumption is huge.

While bending over to gasp to regain his physical fitness, Yang Feng also gave Mignole a thumbs up, as the core of the defense, expressing his appreciation for his goalkeeper...

It's not dead, but there is no luck.

Perhaps the biggest benefit is that Liverpool's defense has also been quite strong afterwards, and it did not allow Barcelona to break easily.

In this strong matchup, Barcelona sits at the Nou Camp Stadium, occupying the right time and place, an absolute advantage.

It did not give Liverpool too many opportunities, let alone a positional attack, but also a few opportunities for a defensive counterattack.

Barcelona's control of the ball is absolutely fine, even if they sometimes give up some threatening passes, they must ensure that the ball is firmly in their control.

Liverpool simply cannot create a threat to Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona is constantly trying different ways of attacking routines to increase the total number of attacks.

Accumulating a certain number of offenses may cause qualitative changes to score goals.

Barça’s offensive attempts were wave after wave, and it was impossible to break the deadlock in one fell swoop.

Especially Neymar this.

If Messi’s breakthrough does not need to be based on the situation on the field and the space left by his opponent, then Neymar’s offense may require the ball at his feet.

Neymar, known for his fancy moves, quickly accepted the baptism of European football philosophy after coming to Barcelona. While retaining some of the same practical skills, he added a large number of practical offensive methods that conform to the European offensive philosophy.

Especially in some conventional breakthrough moves, using some fancy skills can achieve good defensive effects.

It's really unstoppable.

Flanagan, an English-style full-back, is unable to use Neymar.

Neymar is really too flexible, his change of direction, acceleration ability, and sometimes, just use Flanagan as a training stake, he can bully Flanagan at will.

Flanagan wants to find a physical confrontation and complete the defense, but Neymar's ability to dodge the ball is too strong, and he does not make physical contact with Flanagan too much.

Flanagan's most effective defensive method may be to directly take foul tactics. For this reason, when Neymar was fouled on the wing, Flanagan also got a yellow card.

Flanagan also wanted to cry without tears. He obviously let go of the sideways to a certain area, but Neymar is constantly trying to break into the penalty area and try to dribble the ball to the center.

Constantly provoke Flanagan's defense, but Flanagan has no way yet.

Even with the help of other defensive players in Liverpool, but still can not limit Neymar.

Even sometimes, when Neymar faces two or more defensive players, he still has no fear, and can strongly bring the ball out of the double team and continue to pose a threat.

This is Barcelona's most dependent hot spot player, one person can defeat the opponent's entire wing defense line.

It can only be said that Liverpool's defense, while sending a large number of free kicks and corner kicks, effectively restricted Barcelona's several threatening players.

As a result, Barcelona's conversion rate of set-pieces was extremely low, and did not pose enough threats in the first half.

Liverpool can take a 0-0 score and enter the intermission.

A score of 0 to 0 is acceptable to Liverpool, but Barcelona at home is definitely unacceptable.

During the intermission, Barcelona coach Enrique used the limited time to not only arrange the offensive arrangement for the second half of the game, but also mobilize the big players in the midfield.

There is only one goal for Barcelona, ​​which is to win at home and maximize the score advantage to lay a solid foundation for the second round of away games.

For the goal of winning at home ~www.NovelMTL.com~ also to create a greater attack threat to Liverpool's midfield.

Enrique's changes are very impactful, that is, to give Alba and Alves more offensive space on the left and right wing, as well as time to stay.

This allows the two to effectively supplement Barcelona's offensive firepower and fill the wing attack strength of Neymar and Messi after moving closer to the center.

And Neymar and Messi, after unloading the wing attack and pulling the pressure of the space, also began to advance to Liverpool's defensive hinterland, and instantly caused Liverpool's defense to be overwhelmed.

There is no way, although Liverpool has the advantage in the number of defensive players, the personal abilities of Messi and Neymar are really too strong, especially their ability to combine the ball to break through.

Coupled with it, Barcelona's midfielders fed the ball and gave Liverpool's central defense, creating a huge threat in the early second half of the game.

Among them, the cross movement between the MSN combination, and Alves' bottom attack on the right side, almost let Barcelona break the deadlock in the 55th minute of the game.

Alves took the lead in the bottom breakthrough and attracted Moreno's defense. Although the bottom cross was blocked, but Messi switched to Suarez, who was on the right side, quickly grabbed the second spot and went straight into it. Liverpool penalty area.

With Lovren's defense coming up, Suarez forced his way to the bottom, and then under acceleration, before losing balance, he completed a cross. The ball passed directly to Liverpool's goal, and Yang Feng flew to intercept, but Neymar, who was ambushing in the middle, took a step faster and completed a kick before Yang Feng.

Fortunately, Mignolet did not lose position. Neymar did not control the angle of the shot in order to pursue the goal of Yang Feng, so that the ball hit Mignole directly without a goal...
