Football’s First Defender

Having won a big victory against Norwich, Liverpool have to return to home to face their second team in the Champions League group stage, the Greek League champion Olympiacos last season.

　　 Strike while the iron is hot. In this game, Rogers continued to experiment with his new lineup to make the players more familiar with this offensive pass and control play and adapt to various offensive methods in tactics.

In the face of Olympiacos’s away bus, it was ultimately Gerrard who contributed the same familiar taste in an unfamiliar position. With a shocking long shot, he won for Liverpool directly in the middle of the first half. The first goal.

The game after 　　 was much simpler. Olympiacos, who had broken through the gate, could only try to take the initiative, and the speed advantage of many Liverpool players gave them room to play in the counterattack.

Although Sterling missed two very threatening counter-attack opportunities, he finally made the atonement at the third chance. After relying on speed to get rid of the opponent's defense, he chose to make a pie for Suarei who was on the other side to keep up. After finishing the goal, Liverpool led by two goals and almost sealed the victory.

After 　　, it was time for Liverpool to hone the lineup and increase tactical proficiency.

Although Liverpool, who took the initiative to attack, were seized by the opponent to complete the counterattack at the last moment and scored a goal. However, Suso's previous goal has already opened the score advantage by three goals. The opponent's goal is the final victory. No problem.

　　 It’s just a pity that Yang Feng and Renner’s non-scoring bonuses are no longer a goal. Liverpool’s midfielders are really worried...

　　 Back in the league, Liverpool will face Stoke City at Anfield Stadium this round.

　　 Faced with this unique Premier League mid-range team, Rogers still sent out exactly the same starting game against Norwich.

　　Even if Liverpool are dragged down by the UEFA Champions League and enter the rhythm of double matches in a week, Rogers' non-rotation policy does not seem to affect the physical condition of Liverpool players too much.

　　Perhaps this is the benefit of constant victories. With two consecutive victories and mental satisfaction, the Liverpool players are not as tired as they thought.

　　The characteristics of the Stoke City team are destined for their players to pay more attention to physical confrontation, instead of excellent technical ability and good tactical awareness.

　　 Liverpool's pass and control play, not to mention completely restraining the opponent, but also has a clear advantage on the offensive end.

　　 The final result, the score of 2 to 1, although it also showed Liverpool's more powerful and stable offensive firepower, it also proved that this Stoke City is also not an underdog.

Both sides completed their attacks according to their own tactics. The visiting team was constantly interspersed and running against Liverpool, and the defense could not form a close line of defense. However, on the other side, Liverpool faced the opponent's rough flank pass, and the middle header was also unable to form an issue. Effective defensive net.

In the final analysis, due to the accumulation of enough offensive players in the midfield, Yang Feng and Scott are the only ones who can achieve an effective header fight on the defensive end. Faced with one or two opponents' forwards in the sports war, the opponents are still fighting It can be defensive, but when the opponent sets the ball, it really can't take care of everything.

　　 Stoke City’s goal was made by taking advantage of a corner kick to attract Yang Feng and Skrtel to defend in the middle and the front point, and then the third high-point player scored it in the back point.

　　 The height disadvantages of other Liverpool defensive players are too great, and it is inevitable to be seized by the opponent in a certain death.

Fortunately, Liverpool, playing at home, is extremely good in terms of self-expression. On the offensive end, the team has created few offensive opportunities for Suarez and Suso, and Gerrard's outside penetration is far. Although there are not as many shots as before, the aim is still there, and they all pose a sufficient threat.

　　 Liverpool, which has twice as many shots as Stoke City, scored one more goal than Stoke City is also reasonable.

　　 But after this game, Stoke's understanding of high-altitude ball made Rogers a little bit bright.

　　 Before, Rogers, who had been working on building a pass control system, found himself neglecting the weapon of set kicks.

　　Because Carroll is destined to be incompatible with Rogers' tactical system, Liverpool’s positioning tactics of looking for Carroll in most games last season are no longer suitable for Liverpool’s game today.

　　 Liverpool’s set-kick tactics in previous games were sometimes tactical corner kicks, and sometimes it was just as good as the opener could find time at any time.

　　 But now, considering that there will be more opponents in the future, when facing Liverpool defensively, the tactics of catching the set-piece in time are also opportunities for Liverpool to break through on the offensive end.

　　 And the most suitable one in the formation is Yang Feng!

　　 When Rogers came to Liverpool, he did a detailed study. He planned to be the team's main player. Among them, the past data of Yang Feng provided to the club by the Yang Feng team made Rogers pay attention to it.

　　 Yang Feng's internal body weight at this time was nearly 20 kilograms heavier than when he started his career in Russia.

　　 is nearly 10kg heavier than when he transferred to Chelsea.

　　 But when Rogers got to know and learned about Yang Feng himself, he didn't feel any excess fat in Yang Feng's body. This also shows that Yang Feng's weight gain over the years is due to strength training and muscle strengthening.

　　 This point, from the last two seasons, Yang Feng's defensive confrontation has not suffered a loss, and even his advantage can be confirmed.

　　 The physical confrontation disadvantage that restricted Yang Feng's defensive end at the time, under Yang Feng's hard training, is no longer so unbearable.

　　 Now Yang Feng is the defensive core player who can really stand alone.

　　 But on the offensive end, in the set-kick tactics, Yang Feng has actually maintained his original habit, cruising in front of the spot and waiting for the opportunity to grab the header.

　　 This is the offensive area that Yang Feng has been accustomed to since he entered professional football. It can maximize Yang Feng's own predictive ability, reaction ability, and adjustment ability.

　　 However, with the improvement of Yang Feng's physical resistance, it means that Yang Feng can use his height in all areas to create threats like any other central defender.

　　 Last season, Liverpool's team had a better header Carroll in the penalty area to create a threat, so Yang Feng's position in set-piece tactics could not be ranked first.

But this season, Rogers thinks he won’t change to Carol for non-special moments~www.readwn.com~ and the team can now have a high probability of competing for headers, namely Yang Feng and Scott, so this Supporting Yang Feng as the core of Liverpool's positioning is also smoothly due, but Yang Feng himself has to rely on more hard training to adapt to the way of overturning in the penalty area and competing for a header.

　　 Rogers called for Yang Feng to cheer on him and let him take on a heavier burden.

　　 Seeing that he has become the core of the team's set-kick tactics, Yang Feng is also very excited. After all, his role on both offensive and defensive ends has reached its limit, and he can do more, which is what Yang Feng wants.

　　 As for Rogers's proposal, Yang Feng personally needs to increase the header contention training. Yang Feng also said that he is fully capable of handling the small case.

Looking at Yang Feng, who didn’t care about increasing training, Rogers was also relieved. If his players can put more enthusiasm in training like Yang Feng, then his expected offensive tactics may have taken shape long ago. Up...

　　 As far as Rogers himself knows, Yang Feng is not only the hardest person in training, but he also has the same habit of studying the opponent's game video like coaches, especially the video of the opponent's main attacker. Yang Feng has done many studies.

　　 For this reason, the salary and bonus of the video editors in Liverpool has actually been increased after Yang Feng arrived, so that the editors can work overtime to ensure the quality of the edited videos.

　　 For a person who is so passionate about football and such a career, it may be a good thing for him to add a burden to him!
