Chapter 202: Klopp's Teachings
It's a pity that Lu Feng's long-range shot, the shooting power was enough, but it didn't press the angle, and the football grazed the door frame and flew to the stands.
The Sheffield United fans suddenly let out a burst of boos, and they didn't know whether they were startled by Lu Feng's shot, or they were laughing at Lu Feng's indiscretion.
Although Lu Feng's shot didn't go in, it also scared the Sheffield United players out of a cold sweat.
They still neglected the defense of Lu Feng a little, and it seems that Lu Feng still can't let it go.
Wang Kai's voice sounded again, full of regret.
"Oops, the land breeze shoots from afar, it's a pity, it's not suppressed, if it is suppressed, it is a beautiful world wave. Lu Feng looked in good form today, and this shot was only a little higher, and I definitely watched the live broadcast of the audience, and it is very likely that Lu Feng's goal will be witnessed by themselves. ”
Wang Kai's words were also endorsed by Chinese fans.
They stayed up late to watch the Championship games, for what, wasn't it just to watch Lu Feng's play, if it wasn't for Lu Feng, who would watch this kind of secondary league.
......
Now that they are aware of the threat of Lu Feng, Sheffield United's players will naturally no longer ignore Lu Feng.
After that, no matter where Lu Feng goes, he will always have a Sheffield United player by his side. Moreover, in order to ensure that Sheffield United's defence will not be as porous as Norwich City is like Norwich, the Sheffield United players who mark the Land Breeze are different every time.
Sometimes, it's the Sheffield United striker who comes back, sometimes it's the Sheffield United midfielder who plays opposite the Land Breeze, and sometimes it's the Sheffield United defender at the top.
Seeing this, Lu Feng was not reconciled, and ran around on the field.
He's constantly changing his position on the pitch, and the defenders around him are changing all the time, but what hasn't changed is that no matter what, someone is guarding him.
It's not just a man-to-man defence, it's a zone defence.
The advantage of this kind of defense is that the overall formation of the team will not be chaotic, and there will be no situation where someone follows out, only to be taken advantage of by the opponent when there is no one behind him.
For example, in Leeds United's game against Norwich, the Norwich coach used man-to-man defense to deal with Land Breeze and Silva, and as a result, after Lu Feng and Silva frequently ran and attracted Norwich's defenders, as Adiyak stepped forward, Norwich was unbalanced in the midfield and backfield, and Leeds United used it to concede goals.
Sheffield United's manager used zone defence for this game to avoid such a situation.
However, zone defense is also a weakness of the zone defense, and the weakness of zone defense is that the marking is not tight, which is easy to give the opponent more space and time.
He also made some changes to the zone defense, he made the whole team tighter, especially in the middle, so that the wings looked a little more open, but the middle was very tight.
In this way, the space available to the land breeze is greatly reduced. After all, there are too many differences between Lu Feng and Silva's playing styles. If it is against Silva, it is estimated that he will still have to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Silva.
Silva is the core of the organization in the true sense of the word, while the land breeze is actually a pseudo-organizational core, just an attacking core. More often than not, it is by virtue of Lu Feng's personal ability to make breakthroughs.
While this would give more space on the wings, the Sheffield United manager is more concerned with defending the middle than restricting the wings.
In any case, it is not easy for Zhou Yi to organize the attack and make a breakthrough shot in the middle.
Lu Feng's long-range shot before has fully proved this, once Lu Feng is given enough space, Lu Feng's threat is even more lethal than the entire Leeds United team.
As for the wings, it's a big deal to let Leeds cross from the wing.
Anyway, Leeds United don't have a winger in the real sense, can cut inside and shoot, and cross from the side to grab the point? Robert's ability to grab points is not a first-class level, and his strength lies in his superb marksmanship.
Therefore, the Sheffield United manager is still very satisfied with his tactics.
Of course, it is not certain whether they can win or not, but at least Sheffield United are doing well for now.
Under such a defense, Lu Feng had to pass the football out as soon as he received the ball. In such a tense atmosphere, it is difficult to organize any threatening attacks.
Moreover, even if Lu Feng can break through a Sheffield United defender with his own personal skills. Soon, new players will be in place to make up for the defense, and Lu Feng will not be given a chance.
Even Messi, the former king of the ball, did not dare to package his breakthrough to be 100% successful, let alone Lu Feng.
Under such circumstances, Lu Feng quickly fell into a strange circle.
Lu Feng's temper was originally that the more others wanted him to fail, the more he had to prove it to others. Therefore, in the face of Sheffield United's defense, Lu Feng forgot his task of organizing the attack, but tried to constantly break through with the ball, and neglected to cooperate with his teammates.
In such a situation, Leeds United's attack, most of the time, the football was handed to the feet of Lu Feng, and it was over.
Seeing this scene, the Sheffield United manager smiled with satisfaction.
Sure enough, this is what he knows about Lu Feng from the information, young man, who does not admit defeat and wants to prove himself. However, his carefully arranged defense could not be easily broken through by Lu Feng.
If this continues, Leeds United's attack will become unthreatening.
The only playmaker, Lu Feng, is obsessed with playing alone, who will attack in tandem, and if Silva is still there, then everything will not be a problem. It's a pity that in this game, Silva was injured and couldn't play, and sure enough, God was on Sheffield United's side.
The manager of Sheffield United couldn't help but think to himself, if this game goes on at this pace, Sheffield United may really be upset at home and win Leeds United.
......
"Sheffield United should be hoping to use this kind of shrinking defence to limit the play of Lu Feng and turn him into a pure passer."
Wang Kai analyzed.
"But I don't think Leeds necessarily have to rely on the Land Breeze to organise the attack, and anyone can use this huge wide field. However, at the moment, it seems that the Leeds United players are not aware of this and are still handing the ball to Lu Feng to handle.
And Lu Feng's current performance is expected to disappoint Klopp and Leeds United fans.
Lu Feng completely forgot that he is now a defender who organizes attacks, and he plays as a striker, he may think that behind him, there is Silva constantly feeding ammunition for him, but unfortunately, today, he is not behind Silva, but Adiyak.
Lu Feng is still a little young, a little impatient, and eager to prove himself at Leeds United, which I can understand.
Unfortunately, Sheffield United have done a good job of capturing the psychology of the land breeze and allowing them to start playing alone, which will bring Leeds United's attack to a standstill. I don't know how Klopp will adjust to this situation. ”
As soon as Wang Kai's words fell, the broadcast camera cut from the field to the coach's bench on the sidelines, where Klopp was frowning and communicating with assistant coach Bouak.
"Lu Feng, this kid, why don't you still know how to play the front waist, the front waist should be a tandem attack, not his own attack, he already has a lot of strikers."
"Didn't you fail to tell him how to play?"
Boisko asked rhetorically.
"How is that possible?"
Klopp's eyes widened.
"I also went out of my way to find Silva and some good midfielders to give him a lot of learning, and as a result, he still performed so badly, even worse than in the last game.
In the last game, at least he knew how to cooperate with his teammates, but in this game, he only knew that he was brutal. ”
Boisko thought for a moment and said to Klopp.
"I think it's probably a problem with Lu Feng's mentality, Lu Feng is originally a person who doesn't admit defeat, and it is estimated that Sheffield United's defense has aroused his fighting spirit, so he has tried again and again."
"Hell! Is this how the fighting spirit is used? ”
Klopp cursed under his breath.
Bouko shrugged, helpless.
"Young players are like that, it's not the first time you've brought young players, I thought you'd get used to it."
"I just thought that Lu Feng would behave differently from other young players."
Klopp explained.
"His performance is much better than the average young player, and his mental quality is the same."
"However, Lu Feng is still a seventeen-year-old child."
Boisko smiled silently.
"Okay, call Lu Feng over, I'm going to talk to him personally."
......
In the stands of the visiting fans, Silva and his girlfriend, who are unavailable for this game, are sitting there chatting.
"This is the talented Chinese kid you are talking about, I can't see it at all."
His girlfriend's words made Silva's brow furrow.
It was at this time that Silva saw it, and taking advantage of the dead ball, Klopp called Lu Feng to the sidelines.
Silva's brow instantly relaxed, and he smiled at his girlfriend.
"You wait and see, this kid is more talented than me, and his future achievements will definitely be higher than mine. Now, it's just a temporary discomfort for him. ”
"I can't see it."
The girlfriend shook her head.
"I don't think he's as good as you."
"Wait and see, I trust my own vision."
Silva is full of confidence.
"This kid, since Santos, has been surprising me, and I believe that today, it will be no exception."
The girlfriend looked at the serious Silva and didn't speak again, but the corners of her mouth twitched.
What, the performance of this Chinese kid is really disappointing.
......
After being "reprimanded" by Klopp, Lu Feng also came to his senses.
Yes, I'm a striker now, not a striker, all I have to do is just deliver the ball to the striker's feet, I don't need to rush into the penalty area to score, why do I break through so much.
After Lu Feng understood, he no longer tried to break through with the ball by himself, and the video of the game he watched in the past few days also appeared in his mind, and he had a faint idea in his heart.
Sheffield United, since you won't let me score, okay, then I'll give you an assist.
......
After returning to the field, Lu Feng was much more normal.
Although he still looks like he is being driven around by Sheffield United's tight defence, he has no choice but to make sure the ball is not lost.
However, Lu Feng no longer broke through with the ball, and indiscriminately sent the ball to the opponent to create offensive opportunities.
At the same time, after Lu Feng resumed cooperation with his teammates, Leeds United's attack began to gradually become a little more presentable, not as messy as before.
The head coach of Sheffield United on the sidelines scolded in a low voice, and glanced at Klopp, it was all Klopp, otherwise, Lu Feng would not have adjusted his mentality so quickly.
However, even if Lu Feng starts to cooperate with his teammates, what can he do, Sheffield United's defense is not so easy to break through, especially when Silva is no longer there, with Lu Feng, he is still a little tender.
On the pitch, on the surface, Lu Feng was still running around, not finding the right opportunity, not making any threatening passes, and not making threatening breakthroughs.
But in fact, in Lu Feng's mind, although he kept running, he could see the running positions of both sides on the court clearly, and generated a constantly changing overlook map in his mind.
It's like Lu Feng is watching a live game or playing a football manager game, so he knows the players' every move, and he can also know what they will do next.
This thing is what all football practitioners call ball quotient and vision.
A footballer's ball quotient and vision are destined for his future heights. Some people can't have it in their lifetime, but some people can easily have it, and Lu Feng is the latter.
This is also the reason why Silva praises Lu Feng, because he has long found out from the game and training that Lu Feng is almost the same kind of person as him, both of whom play football with their brains.
Although, many times, Lu Feng's playing style is very brainless, it does not mean that Lu Feng's ball quotient is very low.
From the spontaneous aerial view in his mind, Lu Feng can clearly see that Sheffield United's players are basically concentrated in the midfield and the area between the ribs.
And there are very few people on the side,
At the same time, Sheffield United in order to keep three or even four lines compact, they also compressed back and forth very hard.
As a result, there are a lot of places on the pitch that Sheffield United can't cover.
It's just that those places are a bit far away from you, and it's hard to get a ball through with a short pass like you normally would.
Then don't use a short pass, use a long pass, anyway, your own long pass is also not bad.
When he thought of this, Lu Feng found that as he moved to the right side of the court, a relatively large gap appeared in the upper left corner.
Because everyone's center of gravity and attention are attracted by football, that corner is the farthest place from football, and naturally it is also the weakest place for defensive strength.
There was an opportunity, a chance to break through the Sheffield United defence.
All it takes now is a pinpoint long ball and a Leeds player who is there in time.
