Football’s First Defender

Suarez's goal gave Liverpool the lead.

Tottenham, who was the first to score a goal by Liverpool, had to attack and try to attack Liverpool's defense.

However, the state of Spurs players today may also be affected by the Europa League two days ago, and they are not in their best state.

In the face of Liverpool's bronze wall, Tottenham relied more on the offensive mode of individual singles, and there was no way to create enough threatening attack opportunities.

Especially Soldado on the front line.

The Spanish forward is not the kind of player with a strong personal attack. His offensive performance still needs a lot of offensive assistance from his teammates.

This is why Solda Domingue played very well in La Liga but lost himself a little bit at Tottenham.

The offensive environment of La Liga is completely different from the offensive style of the Premier League. In the Tottenham team, the current staffing can not stimulate Soldado's full offensive strength.

Today, I met Yang Feng, who is good at defending the opponent's running forward. Soldado can't receive the pass from his teammates most of the time. Finally, when his teammates really pass the ball, Yang Feng will show his defensive ability again. The pass to Soldado will destroy most of the damage. Even if Soldado really controls the football, facing Yang Feng's man-to-man defense, the personal offensive threat that can be caused is extremely limited.

Today, Tottenham’s offense is lack of explosive points and lack of offensive players who can rely on personal hard power to change the situation of the game.

Last season, the team had an excellent superstar who could rely on one person to complete the offense like Bell. However, this season, after Bell left, the supporting players of the year and the newly introduced players are "average" compared to Bell. "The Tottenham fans who enjoyed the game last season have a deep resentment this season.

In this game, the same is true. Facing Liverpool’s defense, Spurs played a slightly strong offense immediately after losing the ball, but it did not last long. Under the excellent defense of Liverpool’s defense led by Yang Feng, Tottenham His offense was gradually contained, and even slowly was taken over by Liverpool.

Seeing that his home team returned to the "salted fish" appearance, he did not show aggressiveness at home at all. There was a boo in the White Hart Lane Stadium. Although the boo is not too big, it can also discount a part of Tottenham. Fans, dissatisfied with the status quo of the team.

Perhaps after hearing the boo, Tottenham, who was suppressed by Liverpool, launched a strong counterattack before the end of the first half.

But that is a non-integrated offense. In the end, not only can it not threaten Liverpool's defense, but it will make Spurs not so good defensively, and face Liverpool's greater threat of counterattack.

Tottenham's midfielder Sandro's pass was directly seen by Yang Feng. When Soldado waited for the ball in place, Yang Feng finished grabbing the ball.

Because the Tottenham players are very fast on the grab, Yang Feng can only quickly complete a short pass.

Yang Feng’s threat of a long pass in Liverpool’s counterattack has been taken seriously by many teams. This direct connection between the backcourt and the striker, Boas gave instructions before the game and must be restricted by effective pressing. .

Flanagan received a short pass from Yang Feng on the right and took the ball directly to accelerate forward.

There is no defender in front of Flanagan, it is an open field, but Flanagan did not keep the ball forward.

Flanagan, who is dribbling the ball from the backcourt, if he takes the long distance when he is advancing to the danger zone of Tottenham, most of the Tottenham defenders can run back to the defensive position.

Looking up and observing his teammates, they were almost running to the penalty zone line. When Flanagan advanced near the midfield, he made a long pass on the right and passed the ball to Suarez in front of the left. S.

This wide range of transfer passes, the ball draws a fairly elegant arc in the air, directly to Suarez near the corner of the left side of the penalty area.

Suarez turned around to observe where the ball fell as he moved quickly.

Flanagan’s passing speed is extremely fast. After Suarez judged the landing, he stopped and waited for the ball. Tottenham’s central defender Janssen obviously reacted a bit slower, or Janssen just wanted to run back to the penalty area. Inside, to gain the advantage of position, he can turn around and face Suarez head-on.

Suarez, faced with this wide range of ball transfers, was aware of the situation on the field and did not choose to stop the ball to create an offense.

Instead, he sideways and pads the ball with his feet, and the ball is directly tilted forward slightly, and the pad is passed to Henderson who also quickly inserted in the middle.

This footpad pass passed directly between the two defensive players of Tottenham, Henderson led the ball directly into the penalty area under acceleration.

Adjust one step and complete a volley to hit the goal directly before the opponent's central defender makes a defensive action.

Lori, with a one-handed side pounce halfway through the attack, blocked the ball directly.

The ball was blocked, but bounced back to the front of the penalty area.

Suarez's top shooter will always appear in the restricted area where opportunities are most likely to occur.

Before the ball hits the ground, Suarez hit the ball directly and shot a high quality volley.

However, Lori was in perfect condition today, and he took off again, raised his right hand high, and magically blocked Suarez's volley with the palm of his hand.

However, Lori, who tried to block Suarez’s volley, could not control the football that fell nearby for the first time, and was picked up by Henderson not far in front of him.

Immediately a kick shot. Although Lori's reaction speed has reached the fastest speed, he also made a side move, but at close range and Henderson deliberately pursued a certain angle, the ball finally flew in. In the goal.

2 to 0!

Liverpool won two goals away.

Lori, who was scored, stood up and shot the football inside the goal, venting his dissatisfaction.

In a short period of time, Liverpool completed three consecutive shots, and Lori magically saved two shots, but his teammates did nothing during the whole process, seeing Henderson and Suarez. Si took turns at the goal, but did not make any successful defensive remedies.

Let Lori's two bashings are meaningless in the end. This is the portrayal of the Tottenham tacit understanding and the most questioned Boas level.

For the entire Tottenham, not only the offense has no tacit understanding, but even the defense has a considerable tacit understanding. The entire team has no "chemical reaction". How can they achieve better results surrounded by a group of powerful enemies.

And Liverpool's counterattack with this ball, Suarez and Henderson's excellent running and reaction ability are definitely crucial, but Flanagan's performance is also impressive.

In the process of dribbling the ball at full speed, he can observe the situation on the field excellently, and he can really adjust the body and the football under his feet immediately. Passing a precise and wide-range transfer of the ball through the half of the field, you can see this young man People's passing skills.

Flanagan can see from this pass that he has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.

A few minutes after the first half, the game didn't make much sense. Liverpool led the first half 2-0.

In the White Hart Lane, the opponent scored two goals, and the key is that his team, even the offense could not produce a threatening effect, was completely crushed by the opponent.

You can imagine how depressed Tottenham fans were during the intermission.

And the boos on the court are bigger than before.

This boo is not directed at the players and the team, but at the head coach and at Tottenham’s management.

This is also a common phenomenon among fans of Premier League teams. They like the team and the players, but for the coach and management, when the record is excellent, it is an indispensable cornerstone of the team, but when the record is bad, it must be the head coach. Carry the biggest pot with the management.

During the intermission, Boas also began to emphasize the team's offensive tactics in the second half.

But there is a saying, the defeat is like a mountain.

For Tottenham players, it is not this game that has failed, but it may be the entire season.

Player renewal issues, new players' salaries and playing time issues, the coach’s tactical issues, management issues, and many other issues put together have made Tottenham a bit of a mess, and for coach Boas In other words, in the case of losing his position, it is no longer possible to strictly restrain the players.

During the intermission, Boas arranged quite complicated offensive tactics in the second half, but that was the beginning of Spurs, but still did not play any offensive effect.

On the one hand, under the leadership of Yang Feng, Liverpool’s defense has adapted very quickly to Tottenham’s new offensive tactics. On the other hand, the offensive completion of the Tottenham players is too low.

Sometimes there is no threatening opportunity at all, and the offense comes to an abrupt end.

Tottenham’s offense did not actually improve in the second half, while Liverpool, based on the deployment of heavy troops on the defensive end, used the control of the ball to keep the rhythm of the game firmly in their own hands.

Even if Tottenham wanted to organize a counterattack, but Liverpool's possession rate has not been below 60%, we can know how bad Tottenham's offensive ability performed at home today.

In addition to maintaining a solid defense, Liverpool naturally put a huge amount of energy on the counterattack, striving to continue to expand the score advantage.

Although Liverpool’s counterattack did not work in the first half of the second half, after 70 minutes, with the physical fitness of both players further declining, the Liverpool players in the away game were better than the obviously confused Tottenham players in terms of enthusiasm. many.

Liverpool's counterattack is always quite simple and rude, looking directly from the backcourt to the huge gap in Tottenham's halftime.

Both Spurs center-backs have problems with slow turning speeds and accelerated return to defense. Although Spurs' two full-backs were originally intended to complement the center-backs, they chose players with speed capabilities.

However, when Tottenham were behind and the full-backs all stepped forward to participate in the attack, Tottenham's full-backs did not have much enthusiasm to quickly return to defense from the frontcourt.

Liverpool took advantage of the open back of the full-backs to let Suarez and others take turns to sprint with the Tottenham center-backs.

This time, Henderson quickly plugged in.

Yang Feng's big-footed pass, this time chose a very deep route, making it impossible for the Tottenham center back to intercept at the point of impact. This also made the ball hit the ground and continued to bounce forward, allowing Henderson and Janssen to, Carried out a 100-meter sprint of tens of meters.

Before the ball went out of the baseline, Henderson was faster and took control of the football first.

When Henderson did the action, Janssen directly fell to the ground to block, forcing Henderson to pull the ball to the outside.

After Yang Sen fell to the ground and stretched his leg to intercept, he immediately got up with one hand and continued to defend Henderson.

The few seconds Henderson has been waiting for has already waited for his own players.

Henderson was directly at the bottom line, forced the ball to pass, the ball was not fast, and he pursued the arc of the pass.

The ball passed to the back of the center.

At the same time, Suarez and Coutinho, one at the front point and the other at the back point, quickly interspersed into the small penalty area. They have attracted all Tottenham’s rare retired players, which also makes other places. There was a lot of open space.

This time, Henderson did not pass the ball to Suarez and Coutinho. The ball fell close to the penalty spot, and it was Flanagan that appeared in that position.

In Liverpool's quick counterattack, seeing Henderson in the front pulling the side to the right, Flanagan did not know how to stay on the right, but went from the right to the middle, looking for opportunities.

And this time, Flanagan’s bold advancement really made him wait for an offensive opportunity without any defensive interference~www.readwn.com~ Faced with the falling football, although Tottenham’s defensive players have reacted, Replenishing defense to this side leaves little time for Flanagan to handle the ball.

The young Flanagan, who did not give others a wedding dress this time, directly faced the falling football, just volleyed the goal, the ball was extremely fast, and directly hit the dead corner in the upper right corner, leaving Lori no way.

3-0, Flanagan's first goal of the season was born in this field.

With Paulinho turning two yellows to one red in the 76th minute, Tottenham played even more ugly on the scene.

And Liverpool's goal feast continues.

Tottenham, who played less than one player, was even more unable to defend Liverpool's attack.

After a successful interception in Liverpool's midfield, Joe Allen gave Suarez a through ball from the left.

Suarez succeeded against offside and faced the goalkeeper directly after receiving the ball.

Although Lori's defensive judgment was extremely fast, when Suarez was just on the penalty zone line and adjusted after receiving the ball, Lori's attack was already in place.

But facing the agile Suarez, Lori had nothing to do. During the fast march, Suarez used the outer instep of his right foot to make an arc, directly over the attacking Lori, and flew into the empty goal, 4-0.

And Coutinho's 88th minute, after continuous dribbling, a wonderful through ball to the right, directly assisted Sterling to score, allowing Liverpool to lock the score to 5-0.

Rodgers on the sidelines was smiling, and the reason for his happiness was not just in the six giants' civil war, a big victory proved his team's strength.

There is also joy in the growth of Flanagan.

With the data of one goal and one indirect assist, and the excellent offensive and defensive performance in this game, Rogers can finally be at the full-back position, rest assured...
