Football’s First Defender

The accumulation of physical fitness is actually not easy to quantify. This is not like in FIFA games. Players will have a physical fitness bar on their heads to give people a clear judgment.

In the actual game, the physical energy consumption of the players is slow, and in the game, a little bit is consumed.

The length of the players' "physical fitness bar" has been limited because of the double match for a week.

In today's game, the opponent's strength was "not strong" and they were still fighting at home, which made many Liverpool players feel a little "underestimated".

I thought I could easily take the initiative at home and launch a siege of the opponent, but today's Crystal Palace relied on the active running from the opening stage to completely speed up the rhythm of the game.

Let Liverpool players consume more physical energy in their familiar offensive rhythm.

The players of Crystal Palace, with the feeling of fatigue, successfully completed the tactics formulated before the game, and achieved the goal of consuming the opponent's physical energy during the game.

In the final stage of the first half, due to lack of physical support, the Liverpool players were greatly troubled on both ends of the offense and defense.

On the offensive end, due to the lack of physical fitness of the players, the running ability is insufficient, and the running position cannot be in place. Liverpool's threatening offensive in the frontcourt, even the team's most basic midfield pass, has been affected. Great test.

Sometimes under unavoidable circumstances, when the receiver cannot be quickly found, under the desperate pressure of the Crystal Palace players, the Liverpool players can only use their big feet to clear the ball and simply clear the ball.

Even the physical fitness on the offensive end has been greatly restricted, let alone Liverpool's high-position press.

In the case that all members obviously have certain physical problems, Liverpool can only shrink the defense line on the defensive end, not daring to press too much in the frontcourt, and retreat to their own half to organize the defense line to slow down their physical fitness and prepare for the future. The game will be played again.

It's just that, in the last stage of the first half when they ran more by themselves, in more than 10 minutes, Crystal Palace grasped the advantage on the court as much as possible and created for the team on the offensive end. Opportunity to attack.

For the Crystal Palace, today's quite targeted arrangement has really achieved a good offensive return.

The players of the visiting team actively ran and pressed in the first half hour, which laid a good foundation for their goal in the final stage of the first half.

Due to Liverpool's defensive line, conscious recovery, in the state of poor physical fitness, give priority to stabilizing their own defense.

However, this also gave Crystal Palace continuous opportunities to organize attacks.

At Anfield Stadium, they were able to press Liverpool for 15 minutes. Crystal Palace can be said to be, from this point alone, the previous half-hour run was not in vain.

The state was sluggish, and Liverpool's running ability declined. Although under Yang Feng's defensive command, they withstood Crystal Palace's two offensive penetrations, but the Crystal Palace's offensive continued like waves, and did not give Liverpool's defense line a breather at all. Chance.

Especially Zaha. As the absolute core offensive player of Crystal Palace, Zaha, who has a certain degree of autonomy, will appear in various positions and can always use his own super personal ability to complete single-point blasting of Crystal Palace's offense. .

In the 41st minute of the game, when the Liverpool players were about to drag out the last wave of difficult moments in the first half, Zaha's explosion on the wing gave Liverpool a heavy blow.

Suddenly in the Crystal Palace attack, Zaha, who came from the left to the right, showed his strong personal ability when facing Moreno's defense.

Dribbling the ball under his feet, speeding up the breakthrough, Zaha is not slower than Moreno, but his physical resistance is indeed much stronger than Moreno.

Moreno, who barely defended Zaha's bottom line, faced Zaha's emergency stop and spike, but he had no energy left to keep up with the defensive changes.

Fortunately, although the Liverpool players can't keep up with the fast pace of the game, after shrinking the defense, the distance of the help defense is not far away, so the players in the middle retreated to help Moreno's help defense very quickly.

Under the pressure of this kind of defense, it is not easy for Zaha to cut in with the ball to complete the goal.

"Then! Pass the ball!"

There is no personal offensive opportunity, and I am in the position between Moreno and the defensive players. There is a certain passing space, which makes Zaha directly in the game, and immediately chooses a low pass. The right lane swept towards the middle lane area.

It can only be said that Zaha's pass was tricky enough, and the ball was too fast, and the Liverpool defenders in the distance between the ball rolling did not find a chance to complete the block.

Before Yang Feng, he guarded the opponent's striker Bora Nishino to prevent him from getting a chance to grab points in front of the goal.

However, Yang Feng immediately noticed that Zaha's passing route for the ball from the wing was a horizontal route a little before the penalty spot. is too far.

"damn it!"

The moment he saw the passing route, Yang Feng felt bad. When the ball was passed to the middle, it was just right for the middle to follow up with Cabaye, who was going forward, and had a chance to shoot directly at the goal.

Yang Feng resolutely gave up Bolassier, and the first thing he did was to rush over to seal the angle where Cabaye could directly hit the door.

Cabaye was in front, and there were two forwards. When he was drawing attention for himself, the fast horse came from outside the penalty area, and faced Zaha's fast pass, he shot with one foot.

Although he saw Yang Feng coming to defend him, Cabaye could only hope that his quick shots would pay off.

It's just a pity that Yang Feng, as a top defender, managed to maximize the interception area of ​​his body during this temporary supplementary defense. Cabaye's kick hit the goal and finally hit Yang Feng. Yang Feng successfully blocked it with the side of his body.

Yang Feng flew to block the shot and successfully completed a defensive interception for Liverpool.

However, due to the great power of Cabaye's kick, the ball hit Yang Feng's body, rebounded again, and still landed in the penalty area.

In the competition for the second spot, the Liverpool players, who were more dominant in the penalty area, did not have the first chance to get a clearance.

Without Yang Feng's follow-up defense, Bolasier retreated directly, supported Henderson, and used his long legs to hook the ball first.

I took two steps horizontally to the left, kicked my left foot directly to hit the goal, hit a contra-angle, and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Mignolet's save didn't work and Bolassier, taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, helped Crystal Palace take the lead.

"1 to 0!"

"Crystal Palace took the lead to break the deadlock in the last moments of the first half."

"Liverpool's defense obviously has a huge problem this time."

"The side was blasted, and the center has not yet completed the man-marking task, giving Cabaye a huge opening to hit the goal."

"Yang Feng tried his best to fly to block Cabaye's brilliant shot, but he was still controlled by the Crystal Palace players in the chaos."

"Bolasier's stop this time, and all subsequent handling actions, have shown his composure in the penalty area."

"After the fake action made him shake a bigger shot angle, he directly hit the goal calmly and opened the scoring for Crystal Palace..."

Seeing that Crystal Palace still scored a goal, Yang Feng, who was "missing someone", felt quite powerless, and there was really nothing he could do about this conceded goal.
