Football’s First Defender

Arsenal's game against Liverpool was the focal point of the tenth round.

Both teams are offensive-first teams, and they are full of talent on the offensive end.

For the defensive line of both sides, this game is destined to play 12 points spirit to face the strong impact of the opponent.

As the core of Liverpool's defense, Yang Feng has conducted long-term research on Arsenal before this game, and deduced how to defend Arsenal in the Premier League, the top pass and attack coordination.

In the preparations for the game a few days before the start of the game, Yang Feng and the assistant coach in charge of defense conducted a detailed analysis and research on the offensive tactics currently used by Arsenal.

Regarding Arsenal's tactical response to Giroud's single striker, Liverpool finally chose to let Scotter mark Giroud.

Giroud, a neuroknife type of player, is not worth letting Yang Feng, the core of Liverpool's defense, be involved in all his energy in order to defend him.

In the game, Yang Feng needs to be responsible for directing all the defensive players to achieve the most reasonable limit of the space in the Liverpool penalty area to deal with Arsenal's cross-cutting cooperation.

And Yang Feng's own excellent replenishment ability will also be the last defensive guarantee for Liverpool's defense line before Mignolet.

For Yang Feng himself, although in memory, the final Premier League title competition this season is Liverpool and Manchester City, but Yang Feng does not know whether his "butterfly" will affect the entire historical process.

Although there is a certain points gap between Manchester City and Liverpool today, who knows if the current Arsenal will be the team that will stop Liverpool after the "plane correction".

After all, in Yang Feng's own impression, shouldn't Arsenal be all about late-stage efforts and then go all out for four?

Let Arsenal become the favorite team in the early league championship, this should not be in accordance with history...

Regardless of whether history has changed, for Yang Feng, in order to help Liverpool win the first Premier League championship trophy in team history, this year is indeed the most promising year.

Manchester United does not have the demeanor of the former overlord. It has been completely degraded, and its ranking is about to fall to the top ten in the league.

Although Tottenham maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness after Bell left, no matter how you look at it, they have no foundation for a championship.

At present, the remaining four giants in the Premier League have hopes for a championship, but Arsenal and Liverpool occupy a more advantageous position.

As long as this game can be won, then Liverpool will have a greater lead, and there will be more room for mistakes in the future to face possible unexpected factors.

Although he is a guest to challenge Arsenal, who are in an extremely good shape recently and need to face Arsenal's world-class midfield offensive firepower, Yang Feng has long been secretly determined to win this game, and must help Liverpool, and build enough early. Big lead advantage.

At the beginning of the game, amidst the shouts of tens of thousands of fans, Arsenal kicked off the attack.

As the first team in the Premier League to play the main pass, Arsenal will naturally not take a long pass after kick-off, but patiently use the pass to find Liverpool's defense.

However, Arsenal's attack, facing Liverpool's defensive line, playing positional warfare, naturally will not have too many effective attack opportunities.

Under Yang Feng’s organization, Liverpool’s defense line and the midfield line are at an excellent distance control. The needle can’t penetrate, the water can’t be splashed, Arsenal’s offensive conduction ball, facing such a defense line, naturally will not There are too many offensive opportunities.

Sarnia inserted a cross from the right, but Yang Feng directly stood in the area of ​​the landing, a header to clear the siege, and successfully resolved Arsenal's first attack.

And Yang Feng’s header clearance at the beginning of the game seemed to indicate that Liverpool’s defense, under the leadership of Yang Feng, would definitely set up a net for Arsenal’s offensive players.

Although Liverpool really wants to play their own team style, Arsenal, who is sitting at home, naturally will not hand the ball to Liverpool under the cheering of tens of thousands of "Gunner" fans.

When two pass-control teams meet, whoever has the advantage of possession of the ball can naturally take the initiative on the field and play the pass-control coordination they want.

In the fierce midfield battle between the two sides on the ball, the final winner was Arsenal at home.

It's not Liverpool's midfielder, whose enthusiasm is lower than Arsenal's players, but the team as a whole. Liverpool's two full-backs starting this game, Flanagan and Sissoko, are compared to the opposite side. The guards differ too much in strength and experience.

This also makes the two can only stick to their own defensive responsibility zone, and there is no lack of helping the team midfielder to complete a systematic offensive and defensive advance and retreat.

Arsenal, with enough support from the backcourt, naturally took more possession of the ball in the end, and could have more attacking opportunities than Liverpool.

In the face of Liverpool's defense, Arsenal began to make a certain tactical change after several regular offensives did not achieve an offensive effect.

For Arsenal’s offensive tactics system, because the team’s five major midfielders are all midfielders with a considerable technical level, in combination, their personal abilities, just permutation and combination, these players, Can create a large number of offensive small-scale cooperation groups.

With Rosicky, Ozil, and Cazorla, the three more offensive Chinese positions, they began to frequently change positions and interspersed with their own personal offenses, tearing apart Liverpool's defensive formation bit by bit.

First of all, it is Flanagan's side that has defensive problems.

As a Liverpool youth player, young Flanagan, this time he was ordered to replace Jose Enrique, which is definitely his chance to become famous.

As a member of the well-known Flanagan family in Britain, the so-called money is not so important to Flanagan.

He simply loves football, and simply wants to achieve something in this field.

However, sometimes the love of football cannot be converted into a rapid increase in strength.

Compared with the Premier League professional arena, Flanagan is still too young.

Young enough, as a left-back defender, facing the impact of Arsenal's offensive players, he can't complete a good defensive task alone.

Cazorla's personal breakthrough ability, facing the slightly taller Flanagan, got ample room for development.

Accelerate, emergency stop, change direction, accelerate.

Cazorla faced Flanagan's defense on the right side of the road and played his best game state.

This is Cazorla’s talent as an offensive player. Although he does not have the flamboyant movements of a South American player, at Cazorla’s feet, the football is like sticking to his feet, and Cazorla uses himself The offensive rhythm can create offensive opportunities.

Flanagan, this English-style full-back, is best at defending, it should be the opponent's straight forward, but like Cazorla's attacking method that can't catch people like a loach, let him It is difficult for Lanagan to play his defensive strength.

"Concentrate! Hold on!"

After Cazorla swayed Flanagan's defense once again, got a certain passing space, completed a pass, but Yang Feng once again grabbed the spot and successfully cleared the siege.

Yang Feng, standing behind Flanagan, began to teach this little brother by precept and deeds.

"Don't be afraid! Just keep your defensive position, don't think about relying on your own to complete the defense against the opponent, we are a team, you are still standing behind us, just be yourself."

After receiving Yang Feng's encouragement, even though Flanagan would not be able to give initiation, he achieved a qualitative leap in strength.

But when he can stabilize his mind and devote himself to the game, then for Liverpool's wing defense, it is better to be able to complete some defensive tasks than not.

After Flanagan can gradually participate in the game, the weakness of Liverpool's defense is not as great as before.

However, Arsenal's strong offense is still just beginning.

The reason why Flanagan's defense can suddenly achieve a better defensive effect is related to the defense of the midfield teammates.

In this situation, although the side of the wing has made defensive progress, the corresponding lack of Liverpool's other defensive forces has been reduced.

The Arsenal players are all top offensive players with rich experience in the game and sufficient reading and defense ability.

After Liverpool's defense line appropriately tilted the wing, several Arsenal midfielders began to frequently intersperse from the center, looking for opportunities for Liverpool in the center.

And when Liverpool Flanagan's side was attracted by Liverpool's sufficient defensive strength, Arsenal's attack began to consciously shift the direction of attack.

The first target of attack, of course, is still Flanagan, but after seeing the help of Liverpool’s defense, the ball holder will immediately transfer the ball, move the ball to the center, or directly make a long pass. Go to the empty area on the left side of the stadium.

Cazorla held the ball alone, coupled with the threat of Sarnia, who was involved in the attack from the rear, made Liverpool have to strengthen this side even if they knew that Arsenal would transfer the ball. Defense.

This is the conspiracy, everything originated, because the defensive strength of Liverpool's side does not match Arsenal's offensive firepower.

Cazorla tried to make a breakthrough, then stopped immediately, stabilized his figure, and knocked the ball horizontally to the middle.

It was Arsenal's current midfield offensive commander Ozil that ran over in the middle.

As the absolute main force of Real Madrid during Mourinho's period, Ozil's assist ability has grown into a world-class during the Real Madrid period.

Only limited by the overall tactical reform of Real Madrid, there is no need for Özil, who can only pass the ball but does not have enough attacking desire midfield passers, so Arsenal will have the opportunity to buy Özil at a high price. .

It turns out that Özil's complement to Arsenal's offense is huge. With Özil acting as the glue for the midfield pass, Arsenal's offense is smoother than in the past few seasons.

Although Özil's own defensive ability and lack of defensive willingness are the shackles that limit him to becoming a better star, in Wenger's view, Özil's excellent offensive ability is enough to bring Arsenal's strength to a higher level. .

Özil received the pass from Cazorla. He was already watching six directions and listening to all directions. He directly kept the ball and sent it to the left of Arsenal's attack.

With sufficient physical fitness, Özil is definitely one of the best passers in the world.

This pass passed directly across the Liverpool defense line beside the two defensive players, and accurately transported it to the depths of Liverpool's right side.

Before, Rosicky had used a sudden change of direction to get rid of the defensive player and ran to this side of the gap first.

After receiving the ball, taking advantage of the Liverpool defensive player's front punt, Rosicki directly got ready on the wing and made a pass to pass the ball back into the penalty area.

For the offensive players of the European first-line teams, in the game, when there is a defensive confrontation, and when there is no defensive confrontation, the state that can be displayed is different.

Arsenal's series of conductive ball cooperation created a chance for Rosicky to cross without defensive interference.

The so-called referral ~www.readwn.com~ is the current situation.

Before passing the ball, Rosicki accurately observed the running situation of his teammates in the penalty area, and then made a pass to directly find the top position of the area where Giroud was standing.

"Rosicky crossed from the bottom!"

"Giroud!"

"Shook his head to attack the door!"

"Yang Feng, rushed from the other side, and Giroud completed the battle for this ball at the same time."

Giroud hit the ball first, but Yang Feng didn't come too slowly. The ball was headed by Yang Feng and the ball bounced back to the back point.

"Ozil!"

"Later shot hits the goal!"

"Slide the door out!"

For Özil, Özu when passing the ball, but when shooting, hehehe...

Ozil’s shooting skills are really bad. Sometimes there are many excellent opportunities in the penalty area, but when Ozil can pass, he will always choose to pass.

There is really no crosshair in the shot. This time, in the absolutely empty area after the point, Özil finally chose to hit the ground ball to the far corner.

The angle was too small, and he slid the door out, making this attack come to an abrupt end.

After that, Arsenal's attack still focused on two wingers, with the wing attack as the starting point, and then the transfer of the ball from the wing as a real murderous opportunity, constantly impacting Liverpool's defense.

Under the impact of Arsenal's continuous offensive, for Liverpool, they can only passively retreat to their own half to start the defense. It is really Arsenal's offensive threat is too great, and Liverpool players can only choose Stay away from the limelight.

Of course, Liverpool is not really rubbed on the ground. For Suarez, Sturridge, Gerrard, and even Yang Feng, they are all waiting for the opportunity to give Arsenal a fatal counterattack.
