Football’s First Defender

Klopp’s well-arranged and highly respected lineup actually has the biggest advantage of the team’s ability to make the two full-backs no longer attack forward as they did in previous games. The main offense is all centered. The two full-backs only need to be divided into batches, and the opponent’s wing defenses need to be inserted appropriately. It is not necessary to participate in the offense too deeply as before, causing the team to be chased by the opponent in the game. The counterattack behind him.

　　 As Yang Feng's defensive characteristics have been studied by more and more people in recent years, many capable Premier League teams have focused on Liverpool's wing in recent games and focused on counterattacks.

　　According to the normal counterattack mentality, in fact, under the conditions, if you quickly counterattack, you are more willing to find the front teammate in the middle, because after taking the ball, you can directly threaten the goal and create the most intuitive counterattack pressure.

It's just that since Yang Feng debuted, his excellent ability to defend against opponents has been recognized by everyone. Within Yang Feng's defensive coverage, passing the ball on the ground has a higher probability of passing it. Counterattack opportunities, but the most common high-altitude pass in the counterattack is always driven by Yang Feng to the defensive position and complete the clearance. As a last resort, many teams nowadays can only find another way. Since passing the ball to the center cannot directly threaten the counterattack , Then the first point of the counterattack will be on the side, outside of Yang Feng's coverage area, and then look for opportunities. After getting the ball, complete the cut or pass, in the game, assist the teammate to complete the attack.

　　 In the previous two-game losing streak in the league, Liverpool’s defense line was the first to be penetrated by the two wings, and it was unable to effectively fill the loopholes.

Because in Liverpool’s current offensive system, due to the need to stay behind at least one midfielder, on the offensive end of the frontcourt, if you want to create a certain threat, the full back must be able to take more responsibility and be closer to the opponent’s defense. The hinterland, so when it is really fast to complete the ball transfer in the offense, even if the full back has a fast speed, but there is no way to quickly return to the defensive position, complete the defense, will always be easily Find the opportunity to focus on hitting the gap left behind when the full-back advances in, and strike a targeted counterattack from the side.

Klopp, in this game, facing two wings, Arsenal with the same offensive firepower, can only take risks and change the team's wing defense first, and then see if this lineup can play out. The desired effect.

　　 "The 21st round of the Premier League final match, Liverpool played at home against Arsenal, who ranked first in the standings."

　　 "Liverpool suffered a two-game losing streak in the Premier League after the New Year. After the previous ferocious pursuit momentum, the points gap was opened in the recent period."

　　 "As for Arsenal, they have won five of the last six games, including the victory against Manchester City. Arsenal's goal in this game is to win three consecutive league victories and maintain their advantage in the standings."

"Arsenal is still their 4231 starting formation, and Liverpool has always adhered to the 433 system before. This game has changed to a 442 lineup. The configuration of double forwards can indeed increase the threat of receiving in the penalty area. However, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool have enough passers to deliver enough passes to the double forwards in the penalty area."

　　 At the beginning of the game, Arsenal did not start the game. After all, this is Anfield. At Liverpool's home game, Arsenal still want to carry the home team's three-axes and make targeted responses depending on the situation.

　　 just...

　　 "Liverpool! Sure enough today, after the starting lineup, the lineup is different, it changed."

　　 When everyone saw Yang Feng become the hub of Liverpool's midfielder to receive the four-way pass, they were surprised and puzzled.

　　 "Feng Yang, is this the core of Liverpool's temporary guest appearance?"

　　 "This is really surprising. Klopp's secret big move is to free Yang Feng from the back line and participate more in the team's offense."

"It's not the end of the offensive mode when positioning the kick in the previous sense, but has been upgraded to an organized midfielder. This point, after the start of Liverpool, all the passes of the players have been directed to Yang Feng. It's obvious."

Arsenal’s pre-match defensive arrangement was aimed at Liverpool’s play, and a variety of counterattack ideas were prepared in detail to help the team gain the advantage in the away field. However, as Liverpool’s backcourt organizer, when Yang Feng showed on the field, Wen Ge really didn't have such a response.

In the past, Liverpool’s backcourt, Henderson and Milner’s combination, even if they have the ability to attack forward, but they still need to leave someone to do some simple work of sorting the ball when taking into account the defense. At this time, Yang Feng took on the job of defending and sorting out the ball in the game. Although this will make Yang Feng consume more physical energy and pay more energy in the game, in contrast, Liverpool is actually at both ends of the offense and defense. There will be a big improvement compared to before.

　　 If we say that Arsenal's offense can still be self-centered, and will not be affected by Liverpool's defensive changes, and there will be problems.

　　 But Arsenal's defense has to follow the changes in Liverpool's offensive style and make adaptive adjustments.

　　 But Arsenal, who is already strong on offense and weak on defense, the players' temporary decisions on the scene obviously can't keep up with Liverpool's attacking rhythm and do their best response.

Although Liverpool gave Coutinho and Lallana the responsibility of flank breakthroughs, but for the two outstanding technical players ~www.readwn.com~ there is no pressure, 1v2 pass can also be passed. Come out, at this time, Liverpool have 4 people who can catch the ball in the middle area and try to attack. The rich offensive points can make Liverpool's offense form a continuous suppression.

　　 Only 8 minutes into the game, Liverpool’s offensive unfolded, showing the offensive effect of this team’s change.

　　 Yang Feng was continuously in the midfield, falling back with his teammates, and even occasionally dribbled the ball. For Arsenal's defense, you can't prevent it, and you can't prevent it.

This time, Giroud came directly at Yang Feng. Perhaps Giroud did not expect that he would have to face Yang Feng when attacking. When defending, he would always face Yang Feng, even better than when attacking. Takes a long time.

　　 However, after Yang Feng had many perimeter possessions, he saw the player who had the chance to run in the frontcourt, and he made a long pass and found the left wing. Suddenly, Coutinho came in before turning back and running.

　　 The ball was accurately measured in advance. After Coutinho did not slow down to receive the ball, he directly made a breakthrough. After attracting the defensive player to follow, an emergency stop spike, dunked the defensive player, and got the pass space.

　　 a pass back to find Milner who followed up to the left in the middle, Milner volleyed the ball, but it was blocked by Koscielny.

　　 "But there is still a chance!"

　　 "Firmino got the second spot on the right."

　　 "One button!"

　　 "Just hit it!"

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

　　 "Firmino! First record for Liverpool!"
