Football’s First Defender

　　 2 to 0 lead, for Liverpool, the next home game will be much easier.

　　 Southampton, who was behind by two goals, just woke up like a dream on the away game and began to launch some kind of attacks to show his strength on the court.

　　 Although facing Liverpool's high position, Southampton's offense, it is not so easy to penetrate Liverpool's defense.

　　 However, it is still possible to make a few occasions to cooperate and create some attacks that advance to the 30-meter core area of ​​Liverpool.

　　 In the 37th minute of the game, Southampton broke through from the left, creating a threat.

　　Milner made the first grab and knocked Wanyama directly to the ground. Although he was shown a yellow card, it also prevented the visiting team from a very threatening attack.

　　 The free kick opportunity on the left side of the front court. In this kind of confrontation between a weak team and a strong team, a set kick may be the most important opportunity for the weaker team to grasp.

　　 Yang Feng was arranged to defend Pellet in the tactics.

　　 After all, as an excellent fulcrum center, Pellet's strength is obvious to all. Although Yang Feng feels in his heart that the more famous Van Dijk in the future is more worthy of his own defense, he can never tell his teammates and coaches.

　　 "I know that Van Dijk, the world's No. 1 central defender in the future, has a chance to compete for the Golden Globe Award. Let me defend against him!"

　　 After all, Van Dijk is just a fledgling kid now. He has just arrived in the Premier League this season. At 24, he is not too big for a central defender.

　　 The task of keeping an eye on Dick was handed over to Skrtel. Van Dijk’s height was there after all, and he needed to focus on defense before the game.

　　 There is no way to compete with Van Dijk on the defensive end, which is indeed a pity for Yang Feng.

　　 Pellet, as Southampton's first center forward, moved forward directly before the free kick was taken this time, forcing Yang Feng to dare not miss anyone, so he could only quickly follow the defense.

　　 Although he may not be regarded as a top European striker, as a striker who is good at striving for high points, Pellet still has two brushes for the Italian international who can be favored by the Super League teams in the future.

　　 Pellet’s forward thrust attracted Yang Feng to follow.

　　 The other Southampton players rushed forward from the center.

　　 Under the cover of a crowd of players, Van Dijk used the cover of his teammates to rush to the back.

Being rushed forward by the Southampton trio disturbed Scotter’s defensive attention. When he found that Van Dijk rushed to the back, he remembered that Yang Feng took care of himself before the game. Set the ball to stare at Van Dijk.

　　Scott quickly rushed to the back point, and must complete his defensive task.

　　 And the Southampton side's kick is really looking for Van Dijk.

　　 An arc was drawn across the air, and the ball's landing point was exactly at the back of the small penalty area.

　　 Very back position, because most of Southampton's offensive players are concentrated in the middle, so Liverpool is in this position and there are no players left behind.

　　 This time it was Skrtel and Van Dijk in the race, but they were obviously the first to start, and Van Dijk, who knew where the pass would fall before the serve, wanted to run faster and more determined.

　　 "Van Dijk! Header!"

　　 Van Dijk, who was the first to start, needed to adjust his body in the air after taking off in order to get this slightly forward ball, but Skrtel, who reacted a little slower, really had no choice.

　　 I couldn't do any defensive interference, I could only look at Van Dijk and hit a header that flew backwards in the air.

This time, Mignole reacted fast enough and ran directly to the back point, blocking all the angles of the close shots, but Van Dijk pushed out an opposite angle and controlled his body perfectly in the air. , And the angle of the header to attack the goal, direct the ball towards the back post of the almost empty goal.

　　 "goal!!!"

　　 "The ball is scored! The ball is scored!"

　　 "Van Dijk! A beautiful header, for Southampton to catch a goal before the end of the first half!"

"This is Van Dijk's fourth game in the Premier League. He used his header in the game to complete his first goal in the Premier League and Southampton, and he scored against a giant team like Liverpool. Yes, a very good young central defender."

　　 Looking at Van Dijk, who was celebrating wildly on the field, and his Southampton teammates, Yang Feng felt helpless on the side.

　　 "Sure enough, gold always shines."

　　 "Although he is young, Van Dijk's heading skills in set kicks are really strong!"

　　 "Scott's defense is still not enough."

　　Although he doesn't want to complain about his old partner, after all, as a "tool man", Yang Feng is very comfortable with using Scotter.

　　 It’s just that, in this season, Scotter’s game state has slightly declined. It is said that Klopp is a little dissatisfied with Scotter, which also makes Yang Feng a little bit distressed.

　　 One side is the head coach with unparalleled authority, and the other side is a good partner who has been with each other for many years. It is difficult to do in the future...

　　 back to the game.

　　 As Southampton pulled back a goal, for Liverpool, the score of 2-1, although the team is still in the lead, but one goal lead will make the game full of too many variables.

　　 So in the last few minutes of the first half, Liverpool rushed to make two offensives.

　　 The two full-backs of the team are also trying their best to advance to add offensive firepower to the team's offense.

　　 It's just that the ball from the wing of both feet was destroyed by Southampton.

　　 Fonte and Van Dijk, the two Southampton centre-backs, one of them successfully headered the siege and defeated Liverpool’s final offensive in the first half without even hitting the goal.

　　 When the game progressed to this point, for Liverpool, it was not so easy to play in the second half of the game.

　　 The score of 2 to 1 is still Liverpool's lead.

　　 However, in the last stage of the first half, the excellent performance on both offensive and defensive ends also allowed the Southampton players to show their momentum. In the second half, it was not so easy for Liverpool to win easily.

At the beginning of the second half, Klopp did not make any substitutions. Today's lineup is the strongest line Klopp thinks can be sent. After adjustments, the lineup may not be as satisfactory as the player in his hands. The vast majority are defensive players.

　　Although the team is leading by one goal, Klopp doesn't want to give everything to the defensive end.

　　Even if there are players with outstanding defensive capabilities like Yang Feng on the defensive end, Klopp's tactical coaching philosophy still makes him more willing to rely on his advocating offense to get more goals ahead.

　　 At the beginning of the second half of the game, Liverpool wanted to attack, but Southampton, who was only one goal behind, did not choose to catch it at Anfield.

　　 Both teams attacked at the same time, instantly raising the rhythm of the game.

　　 This kind of confrontation, although Liverpool also bears a certain defensive risk.

　　 But correspondingly speaking, Liverpool’s offensive line is definitely more dominant.

　　 Southampton no longer puts on an iron barrel formation, which is very important for Liverpool's offensive in the frontcourt and penetrate the visiting team's defense.

　　 At the beginning of the second half of the game, Lallana was in the middle of a counterattack. When he received a counterattack from Klein, he sent a straight pass on the right.

　　 After receiving the ball, Lallana ran diagonally forward with the ball and immediately completed a long shot before reaching the penalty zone line.

　　 The ball passed through the defensive area of ​​the two Southampton defenders, and it was too late for the goalkeeper to react.

　　 It's just a pity that Lallana aimed at the bottom left corner of the goal, but because of too much pursuit of the angle of the goal, he went a little bit too far, wiping the outside of the post and flying out of the baseline.

　　 Almost, it was possible to re-expand the score for Liverpool.

　　 In less than 2 minutes after Lallana finished the goal, it was Liverpool's high frontcourt that played a role.

　　 Henderson's upper grab, successfully completed the steal.

　　 Then, he made a diagonal through ball and found Coutinho who was pulled to the left.

　　 Coutinho moved forward after receiving the ball, but after attracting Southampton's defense line, he made a smash and cut inward with the ball.

　　 was also near the large penalty area line. Before the Southampton defenders were in place, Coutinho once again completed a long shot.

　　 This time Coutinho hit the door, but it was in the middle of the door frame.

　　 is just the goalkeeper of the visiting team this time.

　　 Facing Coutinho with a tricky angle and a powerful long-range shot, the visiting team's goalkeeper took a sideways jump, double-fisted Coutinho's long-range shot accurately, and tried to keep the goal.

　　 Compared with Southampton, limited by the players' personal offensive ability, it is only occasionally a real threat to Liverpool's defense. Liverpool's offensive threat is quite large.

　　 In the 67th minute of the game, Liverpool played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt.

　　 This time Liverpool, which has invested a lot of offensive players, formed an absolute repressive attack on the left.

Coutinho still sent a more wonderful through ball under tight defense. Moreno slid in from the left and blocked the ball back before it went out of the baseline. He followed the baseline and broke into the penalty area. .

　　 Moreno and Coutinho’s connection this time caused a lot of trouble for Southampton’s defense.

　　In such a dangerous position in the penalty area, two Southampton protection players hurried over to block Moreno's passing route.

　　 It’s just that it’s too late for the block this time.

　　 Moreno's foot bow was pushed to increase the passing power and pass the ball to the goal first.

　　 It was Milner who followed up to the previous point in the middle.

　　Saburo Milner desperately threw his body out, and the defender was in line with the defender, but he still took the first step and slammed the ball into the goal.

　　 This time, the goalkeeper of the visiting team was helpless by finishing the shot at such close range.

　　 3 to 1, Liverpool regained a 2-goal lead.

　　 has regained the two-goal lead, which also allows Klopp to make some substitution adjustments with confidence.

　　 The appearance of Lucas, Lovren, made Liverpool's instant defensive strength improved by a notch.

　　 This is not such an excellent Southampton offensive line, this time facing Liverpool's closer defense, there is no chance at all.

　　 The biggest offensive reliance may be the rare set-piece opportunity.

　　 In the 77th minute of the game, Southampton once again won a free kick in the game.

　　 Due to a foul by Lucas, in Liverpool's half-court, there was no possibility of hitting the goal directly in the middle of the free kick close to 40 meters from the goal, so he could only find a teammate in the penalty area.

　　 Liverpool has now undergone the previous substitution adjustments, but the defensive strength of the three central defenders.

　　 It happened that Yang Feng was facing Pellet, Scott Heat was facing Van Dijk, and then Lovren was facing another central defender of the visiting team, the Portuguese national Fangte.

　　 This time, everyone knows that the away team's free kick can only be passed into the penalty area, seeking to complete a transfer and create another chance to hit the goal.

　　 It stands to reason that Liverpool's more defenders in the penalty area and more dominant personal ability should be able to resolve this time the position is not an excellent free kick.

　　 Then, accidents happened one after another.

　　 Southampton’s free kick did not pass directly to the dangerous area of ​​the penalty area as expected, allowing the players to seek the top.

　　 It was a kick that passed to the weakened area of ​​Liverpool's central penalty area.

　　 The passing distance is not too far.

　　 And for this position, Fang Te who suddenly withdrew back to compete for the top.

　　 Lovren obviously did not expect that his opponent would compete for the top in such a place where there is no threat of offense.

　　 The defensive response was half a beat slow, and Fangte's actions were not completely blocked.

　　 And Fangte, jumping high, without too much defensive pressure, naturally would not seek such a long header after the penalty point.

　　 Instead, he adjusted his position in the air and pushed the ball hard to the back point.

　　 With the rapid movement of the broadcast camera, people suddenly realized that this is a fairly premeditated aerial relay.

　　 Van Dijk was in the same position as the goal scored in the first half.

　　 This time, Van Dijk’s header control is also the same as the first half goal ~www.readwn.com~ is still leaping high and pushing the ball to the back point.

　　 It's just that this time Scotter barely formed a disturbance and interfered in a certain direction. Although he still flew back, he should not enter the door directly.

　　 But...

　　 "goal!!!"

　　 "Ma Nei!"

　　 "At the back point, relying on his own speed, I got rid of Milner's defense, jumped directly, and took advantage of the inertia to hit the ball into the net."

　　 "Southampton, pulled the score back to 2 to 3. The game is still full of suspense."

　　 Van Dijk, and Mane, these two players who are destined for the thigh level in the future, they played against Liverpool, and now they have proved themselves in the game without hesitation.

　　 Their outstanding performance also impressed Klopp on the sidelines...

　　 Fortunately, Southampton's performance was weak in the last 15 minutes, and under Klopp's passionate command, Liverpool also successfully completed the defense without giving the away team another chance to score.

　　 The score of 3 to 2 was maintained to the end.

　　 In a "win-win" game, Liverpool won a home victory and a key three-pointer.

　　The visiting team, Southampton, not only showed the spirit of the team, but also focused on increasing the worth of several players in the team...
