Football’s First Defender

After the home draw with Tottenham, Liverpool's opponents in the next game will be even stronger. For the third time this season, the double-red collision will be played at Old Trafford after two weeks.

Manchester United's performance in the entire game at Anfield was actually pretty good, but at the very last moments of bringing the FA Cup playoff back to Old Trafford, Yang Feng made a long pass and assisted the bench. When Kuyt finished the lore, Ferguson was definitely unwilling.

In this league collision, it is now also a crucial moment for Manchester United and Manchester City to compete for the championship. Liverpool is naturally willing to pull Manchester United off the horse to prevent Manchester United from dominating the Premier League again, and Manchester United also wants to complete the revenge of the previous Double Red Club. A crucial three-pointer on the way to the championship at home.

Fortunately, in this game, Manchester United's right back Rafael returned to the line, allowing Ferguson to send in a more flexible Rafael instead of using Smalling, who played the right back before, to effectively improve the mobility of the right side. Good defensive task.

In other positions, Manchester United hasn't changed much from the double Reds match two weeks ago.

On the Liverpool side, he put his posture very low in the away game. Dalglish chose to put high center forward Carroll on the bench. The team mainly plays a 451 formation and does a good job in the midfield defense. The forwards only have Suarez is responsible for the team's counterattack.

In midfield, Downing and Kuyt, who had previously contributed to the lore, served as the two wingers, while Spilling, Gerrard, and Henderson were in the middle, responsible for offense and defense.

The back line and goalkeeper are still a few old faces, and Yang Feng has to face the joint impact of Rooney and Welbeck again.

As Liverpool's posture in this game is very low, the first thing the team must do is defensive work.

When Manchester United was attacking, Suarez, who was at the forefront of Liverpool, returned to defend and participated in the team's half-court defense. In addition to the weak athletic ability of veteran Kuyt, such as Spearing and Henderson Such young people have enough physical fitness to ensure that they can use more runs on the field and better limit Manchester United's offense.

In the first half of the whole game, although the Red Devils fans showed their sense of presence at Old Trafford Stadium, boos, cheering, and shouts were endless, which had a great impact on the Liverpool players, but they were on the court. From the perspective of the situation, although Liverpool has a disadvantage in possession rate, they are not many shots. Manchester United only got 4 shots in 45 minutes, which is not much different from Liverpool’s 3 attacks. Liverpool’s The defense line, after a long period of running-in, finally showed a tacit degree of team defense.

In the first half, Rooney once again lost himself in Yang Feng's defensive limits, and several chances of receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area were destroyed by Yang Feng.

Rooney is good at grabbing points, and when facing Yang Feng, he doesn't have much room to play.

During the intermission, Ferguson thought and thought, and finally changed his tactical thinking. Injured this season, causing Berbatov, who was not in good condition, to play. The team switched to a three-forward tactic.

In other words, Berbatov and Welbeck partnered with two strikers, which put a certain pressure on Liverpool’s defense in the penalty area, and changed Rooney from a shooter active in the penalty area to a more backward midfield position, at least Rooney can be liberated from Yang Feng's defense.

Dalglish and the Liverpool players on the field obviously didn't expect that Manchester United's changes would proceed so quickly, and at the beginning of the second half, they were unable to react.

Yang Feng was entangled in the penalty area by Berbatov, who was also good at running positions. Faced with Rooney who had withdrawn outside the penalty area, although Rooney felt that Rooney's threat was still greater, he could only deal with Rooney. Defensive position, handed over to his teammates, he concentrated on limiting Berbatov, a striker who is also famous in European football.

"Rooney was outside the penalty area and received a cross from Valencia. Liverpool's encirclement came quickly."

Since Berbatov replaced Scholes, Manchester United’s current formation is between 433 and 442. Rooney's position can be regarded as an offensive end point in the frontcourt, but the standing position is The position of the midfielder.

For Rooney's defense, Henderson, naturally, dare not care.

"Rooney passed the ball back to Carrick behind him."

"Carrick kept passing the ball straight, looking for Wayne Rooney who moved from right to left after returning the ball."

"Rooney took advantage of the trend and took the lead. Before Henderson came back, he shot the door directly at the top of the arc of the penalty area!"

Yang Feng discovered Rooney's intention to shoot a long shot. He also abandoned Berbatov and wanted to rush out and stretch his leg to block. But Rooney's kick was too fast and the angle was really tricky, and he blasted directly to the upper left corner of the goal.

"GOAL!!"

"Rooney! In the second half of Manchester United's first threatening attack, he set the record for Manchester United!"

"Ferguson's changes received a miraculous effect. Rooney withdrew to the midfield position. After getting rid of the defense of Liverpool's thigh Yang Feng, he was in the midfield position and got more opportunities."

"And using this continuous pass with Carrick, under Henderson's eyes, got a chance to hit the goal, and played his precise shooting skills to take the lead for Manchester United."

The broadcast footage also found Sir Ferguson on the sidelines in due course.

For a coach, there is nothing more fulfilling than his on-the-spot tactical change, and he immediately received the desired effect. Ferguson's eyes on the sidelines were almost narrowed, and he lost the ball on the sidelines. , Dalglish with a bad face formed a sharp contrast.

However, Liverpool's nightmare is not over yet.

Losing the ball at the start obviously caught the Liverpool players off guard.

Before everyone got out of the shadow of losing the ball before, Rooney sprinkled a handful of salt on the wounds of the Liverpool players.

After losing the ball, Liverpool can only start a counterattack immediately, but the players have not yet entered the offensive state, they rushed to attack, and the result would only be a fruitless attack and the opponent seized the opportunity.

With the through ball sent by Gerrard to Suarez, which was interrupted by Ferdinand, Manchester United's counterattack came.

"Carrick made a long pass from the backfield to Valencia on the right!"

The pressure of Liverpool's left offensive line naturally caused the emptiness of his own defense, and Yang Feng had to make up for it immediately and came to the side at the first time to limit Valencia's starting speed breakthrough.

"Valencia, before Yang Feng stepped forward to complete the defense, he moved the ball to the center."

With the establishment of Yang Feng's prestige in the Premier League, he is also considered to be the most effective defender among the many Premier League teams.

But the stadium is so big, it’s good to avoid Yang Feng’s side. In the counterattack tactics formulated by Ferguson for this field, it is also necessary to avoid direct collisions with Yang Feng in the counterattack. If there is a chance, Yang Feng will make up for it. On one side, try to pass the ball to teammates so as not to be successfully defended by Yang Feng.

It is true that Yang Feng's success rate when he chooses to grab is too high. With the shadow of his reputation, Yang Feng has now become many offensive players and the most defensive champion he wants to encounter.

This time Valencia chose to force the ball to the center while running. After losing his balance, he was hit by Yang Feng and both fell to the ground.

"Rooney, after receiving this ball in the middle, facing Henderson's defense in front of him, with a block and a chase before him, he directly used his body to clear the way, in a confrontation with Henderson~www. readwn.com~ After forcibly squeezing out a certain amount of space, I chose to hit the door diagonally near the big penalty area line!"

"The goal is scored! Rooney, scored twice in 3 minutes, giving Manchester United a two-goal lead."

"A huge shout erupted from Old Trafford, and we could clearly hear the shouts of the audience chanting'Rooney' uniformly!"

Rooney, with his own personal strength, almost laid the victory for Manchester United in this game.

Within 3 minutes, Manchester United scored two goals, and Liverpool's away game was indeed a little unsuccessful.

Especially when Manchester United began to deploy more defensive forces on the defensive end, Liverpool really did not have much to do.

Dalglish dispatched Carroll and Charlie Adam successively, hoping to use the high ball to open up the situation, but Ferguson sent Phil Jones in a trick, directly put on a lineup of three central defenders, effectively limiting Liverpool's The impact of a high-altitude ball in the penalty area.

With Welbeck and Giggs's end, Manchester United further used substitutions to enhance the team's defense in the midfield, making Liverpool's offense even more difficult.

Although Suarez used a long shot to get back a goal for Liverpool in the 86 minutes of the game, but then Manchester United defended more tenaciously in the final period of the game and held a 2-1 lead.

"In the Double Red Club two weeks later, Manchester United succeeded in revenge at Old Trafford in the league. With the same score of 2-1, it gave Liverpool another defeat in the league."

"After winning, Manchester United also reversed their rivals Manchester City in the first game and regained the top position of the Premier League, stepping on the body of their deadly rivals to touch the Premier League champion trophy."

"Tonight belongs to the Red Devils Manchester United..."
