Football’s First Defender

Today Leicester City played extremely active in the game.

Even in the face of Liverpool, the team can still rely on active running to suppress Liverpool on the scene.

Ranieri's tactical arrangement for this civilian team and the development of the players' personal abilities have indeed reached a very outstanding level.

Leicester City’s outstanding performance in the opening stage revealed a very crucial signal that the team has come to where it is today. When they can play at their full capacity in the game, then they are not afraid of any opponents. Including Liverpool.

The Leicester City players' pressing in the midfield is excellent.

This point of play is similar to Liverpool's high position oppression.

Although Liverpool also knows that under such pressure from opponents, it is very risky to pass and control football.

But after all, it is a top-notch team. The players still have confidence in themselves, and only after passing the ball and spending the total length can they better organize the offense in the frontcourt, right?

The home team players are always running, always pressing, always looking for Liverpool's passing errors.

Constantly pressing for the frontcourt, especially with Shinji Okazaki in the frontcourt and Kanter in the midfield. These two "iron lungs" players who can't run can force the home team to run out of thin air with one more defensive player.

And under the unrelenting pressure of the home team players, Liverpool's passing control still made a mistake.

In the 13th minute of the game, Schmeichel Jr. made a long pass from the backcourt and kicked the ball directly to the Liverpool half.

In the battle between Vardy and Yang Feng, Yang Feng was naturally better.

But what Yang Feng has to admit is that Vardy really has two brushes on top.

His excellent position selection ability, as well as the ability to grasp the timing of the jump are very good, but the physical confrontation ability and height limit his performance in the fight.

Under Vardy's interference, although Yang Feng reached the top of the football, he was only able to clear the ball forward, and could not continue to control the position of the landing.

The ball was pushed back near the midfield, and Firmino directly used his body to push the ball back to Henderson at the second landing in the midfield.

Henderson kept the ball and took the ball directly and passed it to Lallana, who ran to the front.

After Lallana's chest unloaded the ball, facing Hut's upper grab, there was not much room to deal with the ball, and he swiped the ball to the right to find Coutinho who was inserted forward.

When Coutinho came up with Morgan's defense, in order to avoid being directly fouled, he continued to pass the ball to the rear right and found Henderson who quickly came forward to follow up.

When Henderson stopped the ball, he saw that the defensive position of the Leicester City players in front had already stood firm.

Instead, he stopped immediately and prepared to take the ball back to the rear and reorganize.

It's just that Henderson stopped and turned back this time, and didn't sway Delinworker.

Drinking water was very active in the game, directly using his full strength to grab on the ground and directly using his body to fight, which affected Henderson's balance.

The referee Marina did not say anything about Delinworker's defensive action, which is a confrontation at the Premier League level.

Henderson staggered a bit and lost control of the ball. In addition to the slight slippage of the court, he slipped his right foot and fell directly on the ground. Although he immediately got up to chase the ball, Delin Walker had already stabbed the ball first.

Shinji Okazaki, who was nearby, ran with all his strength to help Delin Walkert form a press.

Suddenly receiving the stabbed football, he immediately accelerated the ball forward and launched a counterattack.

Frontcourt 3 to 3!

Originally, Liverpool was the counterattack, and the players all rushed to the home team's half, but this time the sudden loss of the midfield left Liverpool's defender line with only three people.

Yang Feng, Scotter and Moreno need to defend Vardy, Okazaki Shinji and Mahrez.

There is no time and space to make some defensive changes.

Finish the defense nearby.

Moreno takes care of Mahrez.

Yang Feng in the middle went to defend Shinji Okazaki.

And Scotter had already ran over to follow the defense, and pulled to Vardy on the left.

Okazaki Shinji knew Yang Feng's defensive ability, and he was also afraid that Yang Feng would find a chance to foul directly, which would delay the team's opportunity to counterattack.

A diagonal pass early and found Vardy who was fast forward to the left.

Vardy, facing Scottel's defense.

After receiving the ball, immediately complete the adjustment on the move.

Facing Skrtel, Vardy did not hesitate, a simple cycling action, directly dribbling the ball to the outside, accelerating the expansion.

Vardy's speed is indeed not fast, but in the face of extremely slow Scotter, it seems fast.

He didn't give his opponent a chance at all. This time he attacked, Vardy broke out at his fastest speed and forcibly passed Scotter on the wing.

Skrtel couldn't complete any foul.

Pass directly from the bottom.

Even though there is a huge gap between Okazaki Shinji and Yang Feng, who were outflanked in the middle, Vardy chose to believe in his teammates and his passing ability.

Although it was 3 against 3 in the frontcourt, Mahrez still had no time to catch up because Mahrez was back in the back at the beginning of the counterattack, and Shinji Okazaki and Vardy never came down. Complete the outflank within the restricted area.

In the middle of the restricted area, only Yang Feng and Okazaki Shinji were in opposition.

Originally according to the best defensive choice, in a 1v1 defensive situation, the defensive choice Yang Feng should make the most is to stick to the opponent's players, form enough defensive pressure, and use physical confrontation to jam the opponent's offense Position, so that the opponent has no chance to catch the ball, let alone hit the goal.

However, Shinji Okazaki knew that his height and weight were far from Yang Feng.

Therefore, he took the initiative to leave Yang Feng's area, taking advantage of his speed and flexibility, crossing diagonally to the back point.

But Yang Feng couldn't catch up with Okazaki Shinji's speed at all.

Can only defend the area in front of the goal.

The result is Vardy's bottom pass, which is a point backward.

As Leicester City's best combination of strikers this season, Vardy knows Okazaki's running habits and also sent a subtle pass.

A header from within the small penalty area, if the ball passes, now at close range, Shinji Okazaki is sure to score a wonderful header.

just.

"Yang Feng! A difficult aerial interception!"

Vardy's pass was very high and floaty, drawing a parabola and falling to the back point very quickly.

When Vardy finished the pass, Yang Feng wanted to retreat and defend until he could not catch up with the ball, but Yang Feng could speed up and rush to the place, and then before he got in place, he went straight. Using inertia to force the jump, in the air, lean back to complete the clearance.

Seeing the high difficulty of the siege, Okazaki Shinji's head-shaking attack hit the door directly.

Yang Feng's excellent defensive ability instantly resolved a possible danger in front of the goal.

If it were not for Yang Feng's excellent interception, allowing Shinji Okazaki's header from within the penalty area to hit the goal frame, then Mignolet might have been the first to score the goal.

Of course, for Leicester City, since they can go all out in the frontcourt in the game, they also have to bear the defensive problem when Liverpool's offense is passed out.

In the 18th minute of the game, Liverpool played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt.

In the past, Liverpool used continuous passing to find an offensive method that could press the defense by crossing the front field of the home team in the game, and then Moreno's forward advance helped the team's wing attack on the left.

Moreno's dribble on the left wing attracted Kanter's defensive follow.

Facing Moreno who was constantly advancing on the wing, Kanter went straight to the side and back, but Moreno's center of gravity was low enough. After the ball was hit, he just staggered and immediately stabilized. He continued to dribble the ball forward, while Kanter was recoiled by the force and kept following.

Moreno faced Simpson's defense and directly sent a pass to the center in the hinterland of his left opponent.

Milner was found following up.

At this time, Kanter had not returned to the center position, and Milner had a considerable offensive space on the court.

Milner dribbled the ball sideways, forcing the home team's defense to gather on his side.

Then Milner was directly a curve ball, sending the ball to the point behind the goal.

Jordan Ibby, with no one defending the back point, jumped to the top and hit the goal.

However, Schmeichel's save ability is really strong, a side throw to block the ball.

Firmino, who followed up, faced the half-high ball, also in front of the goal, squatted down and completed a head shake.

But Schmeichel immediately bounced to the ground, once again completed a side attack, made two consecutive magical saves, and rejected Liverpool's two must-go goals.

After both sides played a threatening offense on the offensive end, the two teams actively run and fight, or later, slowed down.

No player can maintain a high-intensity exercise state for 90 minutes. Therefore, it is natural for players to find a proper time to rest during the game and relax their physical fitness.

The players of the two teams who ran extremely fiercely in the early stage began to perform simple passes and collective defense back to slow down their physical fitness.

After more than 10 minutes of relaxation, in the last 15 minutes of the first half, the two sides continued to return to the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition.

After 30 minutes of the game, Liverpool took the lead to speed up and began the attack in the final stage of the first half.

The team used the offensive abilities of the two wingers and started to gain control on the offensive end when the full-backs were inserted.

Moreno quickly interspersed on the left, after Liverpool withdrew from the offensive on the right, and received Yang Feng's long pass to transfer the ball, he directly used this time to continue the attack.

Moreno, who completed a 45-degree cross from the open left, was blocked by the home team's defender.

A chance for a touch ball.

Moreno wanted to throw the ball, but the frontcourt teammates were under defensive pressure. Moreno didn't risk the pass, but threw the ball to the backcourt and came to the foot of Yang Feng in the midfield area.

Okazaki Shinji's defense immediately rushed towards Yang Feng from a distance.

But the distance is far enough so that Yang Feng has plenty of time to handle the ball.

In the midfield, he sent a long pass directly to the deep left.

After serving the sideline ball, Moreno rushed forward, and he was running, just in time for the ball to land.

Before Simpson's defense was in place, Moreno headed the ball directly and returned it to the center.

Coutinho, who received the ball, directly made a long shot from the outside. After shaking the defensive player's center of gravity, he continued to go to the left to break through the bottom.

And under Kanter's defense, he still forced a pass from the bottom of his foot.

It's just that Kanter's judgment was too accurate, and he stretched his leg to block Coutinho's passing route, blocked the ball out of the baseline, and gave Liverpool a corner kick.

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick and hit a surprise.

After Henderson received the ball, after a half-circle outside, he suddenly made a curve ball and found Milner who had a 1v1 chance at the back of the penalty area.

It's just that Delinworker's defensive selection is quite good, he first pushed the ball out of the baseline, and only gave Liverpool another corner kick.

The second consecutive corner kick.

Liverpool played another tactical corner on the other side~www.readwn.com~ It’s just that Henderson didn’t take the ball out of the tactical corner this time, but went straight to the goal from a closer distance. Send a pass.

There are high points like Yang Feng and Scotter in the middle.

It's just that Morgan used his strength to use his own physical ability to fight against Yang Feng and prevent Yang Feng from running to the right position. The ball was eventually headerd by home team defender Hut.

After Mahrez did not reach the second point outside the penalty zone, he wanted to accelerate and launch a counterattack.

However, Liverpool's frontcourt counter-robbed very quickly.

Mahrez wanted to speed up the ball to pass and immediately launched a counterattack, but Coutinho, who suddenly grabbed the ball, intercepted the ball directly.

The two rushed forward, but after Coutinho intercepted the ball, he directly escaped Mahrez and went to the left hinterland of Leicester City again.

With a through ball, Coutinho sent the ball to the penalty area.

Firmino inserted the ball forward, but Huth did a very good defensive action. He kept on defending Firmino and didn't give Firmino any chance to hit the goal.

After receiving the pass, Firmino made a move to the left bottom.

In the penalty area, the ball was directly picked to the back point when it was impossible to obtain space for the goal with continuous false moves.

In the process of making a fake move, Firmino had already seen Milner pushing backwards.

Milner's defense against Fox.

Fox, before Milner, jumped directly to the top and cleared the ball.

Although the ball was successfully cleared, it scared Schmeichel in a cold sweat.

Fox's clearance was more threatening than a shot. The bottom line flying out of the crossbar was just a little too close to an own goal...
