Chapter 257: Yang Feng's weakness

In terms of Liverpool's playing style, Liverpool has never been a team that wins on defense.
Liverpool also knows what their defense is, so Chelsea scored the first goal, which did not have much impact on Liverpool's defensive system, nor did it cause too much confusion to Liverpool's players.
The soldiers of the Red Army know that it is unrealistic to completely limit Chelsea’s offense in the away game, so after that, just stabilize the situation and try to score the goal early.
After Liverpool kicked off, they directly organized an attack.
Regardless of whether the formation changes or not, Chelsea’s tight defensive line is definitely the best breakthrough on the right. After all, there is no orthodox right midfielder in front of the right back to protect, even if there are other players to assist the defense, but relatively speaking, the three-way defense line , Chelsea’s right wing is the most suitable as a breakthrough.
The left side where Riera is located has become Liverpool’s key attack area. With Insua from the backcourt, Benitez doesn’t have too many small tactics on the offensive end. It just depends on Chelsea’s well-known defensive weaknesses. ", to make a side dash.
Although Anelka retreated to the right based on tactics to help Ivanovic form the first line of defense, it is okay to have a forward as the defensive number. It is really difficult to limit the opponent’s offense. , After all, defensive forwards are also unattainable.
Insua and Riera are indeed not a good offensive combination in the Liverpool team, but Chelsea’s defense on this side is also not the strongest.
It stands to reason that at this time, when opponents attack their own right defense, Chelsea’s midfielder will find a way to mobilize a midfielder to help defend the right, but this game, because of Liverpool His mid-range attack also poses a great threat, especially not only to prevent Gerrard’s long shots, but also to be careful about possible penetration passes between him and Lucas in the center. Lucas sometimes is on the right and sometimes Coming to the middle, the way of handing the right to Glen Johnson's position also greatly restricted Chelsea's defensive power in the middle.
Although Chelsea’s defensive line on the right is not very good, relatively speaking, Liverpool’s left offensive combination is basically the weakest link. In this case, Ancelotti directly chose to compete with the players of both sides. Let the two teams pecking each other on the right side of Chelsea, and completely restrict Liverpool's other offensive points.
With the cooperation of Insuya, Riera was able to pass Anelka’s defense easily. However, in the face of the ready-to-go Ivanovic, Riera felt that he came from Ivan. The huge defensive pressure.
In this game, Ivanovic, who has already scored a goal on the offensive end, must devote himself to the defense at this time. Ivan understands that a defender cannot always get the offensive opportunity like a forward. Defense is the real root of himself.
Riera’s growth in recent years has not met many scouts’ expectations of him. According to some gossip, Riera is now very good at football training, but is more obsessed with poker games. In his spare time, he is not only with many poker players. Party and play together, and sometimes even take time off to participate in some poker games.
So although Riera was indeed a Spanish international for the first two years, and now he should be at his peak at 28 years old, no one knows whether his game state can be maintained at a certain high level.
This time, Riera took the ball directly to face Ivan's defense, without too many fake moves, and Riella wanted to wade directly over Ivan with a change of direction.
Although Ivan's turning speed is an obvious shortcoming, but I just want to go straight to it, but I just underestimate Ivan too much.
In the past, Ivan used to force the ball with speed to face this kind of opponent. If he was able to fight his body, he would interfere with the opponent by hitting his body. Otherwise, he would just retreat and retract to the defensive line, so as not to be broken by the opponent. Put the opponent's wing pass.
However, after a summer of hard training, Ivanovich, and now facing Lieira's single-handed approach, his starting speed is much faster than last season, starting directly sideways, not just under his feet. The frequency becomes faster, and even the foot is more accurate.
Since Lieira had not taken the ball away at this time, Ivan leaned directly to Lieira and took the initiative to surrender his center of gravity. He stretched out his leg to directly touch the ball at Lieira’s feet and shoveled the ball directly. Out of bounds, Liverpool's out of bounds.
Liverpool continued their offensive on the left, but after seeing Ivanovic’s growth, Riera did not dare to despise Ivan anymore. I did not expect that Ivan’s defense improved so quickly without meeting for a few months.
Since he did not directly pass Ivan to create the best wing assist opportunity, then Riella also began to seek more cooperation with his teammates, or make more fake moves by himself, to disrupt Ivan’s Defense.
Ivan has always maintained his concentration. Although it is impossible to be alone, he can completely restrict Lieira's performance, but he blocked Lieira on the wing and prevented him from breaking into the dangerous area. Ivanovic Still comfortable.
Lieira was not only stuck in the lane to the inside line by Ivan, but also wanted to have enough space to pass the ball. Lieira didn’t do much. Every time Lieira chose to play, Ivan Always at the last moment, go straight forward and face Lieira 45 degrees sideways. A person, relying on his body, can form a semi-enclosed bottom line of Lieira.
Not only can it effectively interfere with Lieira's pass, or even directly block it, but also can restrict Lieira's pursuit of spiking to change direction and enter the penalty area.
Riella’s several attempts did not get too many, too good opportunities. Instead, he kept making moves. When Chelsea attacked, he was a little out of breath on the defensive end and was almost on the wing by Ivan. Beat through.
When Ivan once again completed an excellent wing pass on the offensive end, Riella, who was instructed by the side coach Benitez, had to put more strength and physical energy on the defensive end. On the offensive end, firstly, it was handed over to Insuya, who is more stamina, for deep penetration. Secondly, he directly pilled the ball at 45 degrees instead of consuming more stamina. It was entangled with Ivanovic. on.
In the last stage of the first half, Liverpool’s offense began to approach the traditional British style of play. There was a chance on the left side to directly pilfer the ball into Chelsea’s penalty area. He began to hope to use the number of passes to complete the increase. Qualitative change.
However, Kuyt's height, combined with Torres's ability to grab points, does not have such a big advantage when facing Chelsea's defense.
Still the same man-to-man configuration as last season, Terry is mainly responsible for the defense of Kuyt, while Yang Feng is still directly facing Torres.
Torres's ghostly running position, as well as his excellent ability to suddenly jump in speed, are difficult to perform under Yang Feng's strict defense.
After all, Yang Feng’s judgment on the flight path of the ball and the landing point is really too strong. Most of the time, Yang Feng keeps closely following Torres in the penalty area, and when the ball comes out, Yang Feng always The first use of physical confrontation to get stuck in the best position in advance, Torres wanted to go around through the outside many times, but Yang Feng can always protect the position of the landing point to the maximum extent, and Torres went around in front of Yang Feng. After that, he couldn't touch the landing point at all, Yang Feng always occupied the best landing point take-off position, and Yang Feng himself was higher than Torres, and Torres couldn't help it.
In the last moment of Liverpool's siege in the first half, Insua and Riera became Liverpool's busiest two, taking turns to get the ball from the wing, trying to pass the ball to teammates in the penalty area.
It's just that there are a lot of passes, but apart from Kuyt's reluctantly under the interference of Terry, and a header flew up, all the other passes are mud cows into the sea, there is no more.
Yang Feng became the most solid barrier for Chelsea. Most of Liverpool's passes were directly pushed out of the penalty area by Yang Feng. Chelsea also got many counterattacks.
However, since both sides have heavy troops in the middle, it is not easy to fight back with threats.
There will always be players who use "inadvertent" "small fouls" to complete the first blocking task when defending face to face.
In other cases, the obvious tactical fouls are different, because the two sides are densely staffed, and the counterattack cannot be immediately threatening. In the end, Liverpool players were whistled for ordinary fouls, and Chelsea could only admit loss.
Before the end of the first half, neither team had much way to score again, and the 1-0 score was maintained until the intermission.
Chelsea's side is constantly changing, while on Liverpool's side, Benitez is also ready to take a risk on the away game after careful consideration throughout the first half.
In the second half of the game, neither side made a change in personnel at the beginning, but on Liverpool's side, Kuyt's position retracted slightly, leaning to the right, and Lucas, who played the right midfielder in the first half, was transferred back to center. Defensively, Liverpool's formation changed to 451.
It’s just that Liverpool’s change in formation is not to reinforce its defense, but to prepare for the subsequent tactics.
When Chelsea once again got the ball in the midfield and wanted to pass through the four midfields to find an offensive opportunity, Liverpool changed from the previous strategy and withdrew to defend and wait for the counterattack strategy, and instead directly put up the defense. , For a midfield press.
Under the sudden press by the Liverpool players, in order to ensure the control of the ball, the Chelsea players could only temporarily transmit it back, hoping to reorganize the attack on the safe side.
But for Liverpool's defense of the prerequisite this time, it is not a temporary intention or a whim, but Benitez's tentative defense for Chelsea's four midfield configuration.
After a wave of midfield pressure, as Chelsea passed the ball back to his own half, Liverpool did not close as expected, but continued to push forward in the midfield and proceed directly to the high position.
Deco suffered a huge defensive impact from Liverpool. Under Gerrard's pressing, although Deco wanted to split the ball to several other midfield teammates, Liverpool's press this time was within the scope of the team. As far as I can see, next to Chelsea’s blue players, there is at least one Liverpool player in a red jersey, defending closely.
Without the response point, Deco could only choose to pass the ball back to the center line.
With Deco's backward pass, Liverpool's defense line continued to move forward, one by one to ensure 1v1 defense, and there were enough players to re-press Chelsea's back line.
Yang Feng did receive Deco's pass smoothly. However, after the stoppage was completed, Yang Feng suddenly found that no one could pass within close range. Although returning the goalkeeper is a good choice, Liverpool players are guaranteeing When the other Chelsea defensive linemen and defenders took the ball, they were facing Yang Feng and the goalkeeper. When Yang Feng was ready to pass the ball to Cech, they took the opportunity to find a way to see if they could chase the ball and complete the interception. , Take advantage of the trend to hit the door.
Yang Feng will not risk a pass back to the goalkeeper. Seeing Liverpool's high-post press, Liverpool's formation has moved forward greatly. Chelsea's two forwards did not get much defensive attention in front, and Liverpool still has plenty of backcourt. In space, before Torres’ defense arrived, Yang Feng made a decision instantly and made a long pass directly to Drogba, who was in the depths of Liverpool’s defense against Chelsea. However, Yang Feng’s pass was passed to Chelsea. At the feet of the Liverpool players...
It’s true that Yang Feng’s passing accuracy is too far away~EbookFREE.me~ Let Drogba’s position be wasted. The distance between the ball and Drogba’s position is a bit too far, making it possible to win a penalty kick. , Liverpool’s three-man defense, instantly turned into 2 defense 1, blocking Drogba, and then football.
Liverpool's defensive choice this time succeeded. Benitez is to put more pressure on Chelsea’s offense on the defensive end, destroy the rhythm of Chelsea’s transmission of the ball on the offensive end, and allow Chelsea to constantly shift the ball backwards. If a certain link chooses to risk forward pass The ball, then being intercepted by Liverpool is an excellent opportunity for Liverpool to counterattack.
And if Chelsea pass backwards in order to be safe, then as long as the ball is transferred to Yang Feng or Terry's feet, then the ability of these two players is definitely the weakest in the Chelsea lineup. The weak ability of the ball also means that For Liverpool, it is an opportunity for the ball to change, and it is also a good opportunity to try to block the ball and counterattack.
Of course, for such a press, the physical fitness of the entire Liverpool team will be consumed sharply, but because it is just the beginning of the second half, after the intermission, Benitez believes that his players can maintain this press for a period of time. And during this time, see if you can create a threatening offensive opportunity for the team.
Yang Feng's passing ability at this point, after there is no close teammate, the problem of insufficient long-pass ability is very obvious.
Obviously there are some opportunities in the front court, but Yang Feng's pass just can't be passed. After another pass is passed directly to the Liverpool player's feet, Yang Feng will simply pass by with a big foot. It's better than passing to the opposing player to fight back.
And Chelsea's possession rate, under the pressure of Liverpool, began to drop to the level of Liverpool, and even continued to decline.
