Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling are excellent in attack and are indeed the ones who need special attention in Leeds' defence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Xu Yifei knows one thing very well: the real core of Liverpool is their captain Gerrard! As long as Gerrard can be restrained, no matter how strong Sterling and Suarez are, there is no way to do it without the ball at their feet!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to fall in the backfield, Xu Yifei deliberately observed Gerrard's position and found a problem that gave him a headache: Gerrard did not press up, but stayed in his own half "honestly"!

"Damn, it's really old, Gerald doesn't come up, so we can't guard against it at all!" Xu Yifei scolded in his heart, "But we have to beware of him suddenly hitting us with a long pass." It's troublesome, how to break it? “

Just when Xu Yifei was "thinking about life", Sterling had already swam from the left to the middle, ready to steal the ball at Xu Yifei's feet.

"There's someone behind you!" Baram roared from afar.

Xu Yifei hurriedly turned around slightly and saw Sterling out of the corner of his eye.

"Damn, that's fast!" Xu Yifei didn't dare to be careless, and in a panic, a big foot drove the ball directly to the front court.

This big foot is very blind, basically kicking with his eyes closed. The first drop was easily taken by Gerrard.

'Steven Gerrard got the ball, started very fast, and now there's a big gap in front of him, see what he does?'

Rushing forward with a big slash, Gerrard had already crossed the center circle in the blink of an eye and entered Xu Yifei's defensive range.

Glancing at Xu Yifei without the slightest emotion, Gerrard slammed the ball to the right, ready to suddenly change to the pass.

"Your long pass is so good, you didn't pass it this time? Did you not take me seriously at all? Xu Yifei's mind was racing, "Okay, then let me see how powerful you are!" “

To Gerald's surprise, Xu Yifei didn't turn around at all, but took two steps to the side and behind him slightly.

But after getting the ball again, Gerrard found that his frontal breakthrough route had been completely blocked! Now, if he wants to continue this offensive, he has three options.

First, forcibly bumped into Xu Yifei, but it was a foul with the ball!

Second, pass the ball and admit that his breakthrough ended in failure.

Thirdly, to the right again, it is time to go to the side and see how the opponent reacts.

Gerrard almost subconsciously opted for the third option, this time with a bigger kick to try to get more room to break through.

Xu Yifei's reaction was once again beyond Gerrard's expectations, he did not retreat this time, but suddenly ejected like a spring that had been pressed to the bottom, started suddenly, and rushed towards the football that Gerrard had just jumped out.

"Oh! Gerrard's ball jumped a little bigger and gave Xu Yi a chance. It's a five-five opportunity, and now it's up to the two to see which of the two is faster. “

In terms of absolute speed, Xu Yifei may not be able to completely blow up Gerrard, but a sudden start after such a pause is completely the strength of Xu Yifei, a defensive midfielder. Just kidding, how can he break the ball without the advantage of starting speed?

Xu Yifei stepped out first and kicked the ball out of the sideline. But Gerrard didn't stop and kicked Xu Yifei! Both men clutched their feet at the same time and fell to the ground in pain. “

The referee was on the sidelines, saw it clearly, and before Gerrard could stand up, he pulled out a yellow card to him.

Sterling and Suarez ran over to fight, chattering with the referee, and constantly pointing at Xu Yifei who was lying on the ground.

The referee couldn't take Sterling enough and gave him a yellow card in the end.

"Oh, on the contrary, Xu Yifei, who was passively injured, stood up first, and he took a few tentative steps on the turf, which should be fine."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Gerard has regretted it a long time ago, I guess he will never forget the name Xu Yifei again!"

"Yes, we have known Xu Yifei's toughness for a long time, but we didn't expect him to win so much! Gerard kicked him firmly on the instep just now! “

"I think there is another possibility, that is, Xu Yifei was not passively injured!"

"Coach Zhang, do you mean that the moment Xu Yifei kicked out the football, he suddenly added force on his left foot and took the initiative to meet Gerrard's right foot?"

"I think that's the only reasonable explanation, otherwise it's impossible for him to be okay, but Gerrard looks like he's hurt a lot."

"In this way, Xu Yifei is not only hard enough, but also quite cunning!"

"He will only turn 17 in more than two months, if he reaches the age of 27, how strong will he be? Will Ronaldo and Messi become defeats at his feet? “

Just after 20 minutes of the game, Liverpool made a passive substitution: captain Gerrard went down, and vice captain Henderson went up!

When the referee was not paying attention, Sterling made a diving move on Xu Yifei, trying to provoke Xu Yifei's counterattack and do something irrational.

But Xu Yifei seemed to not understand Sterling's provocation, and walked to his defensive position with a blank face.

It was a counterpoint substitution. Henderson was much more cautious than Steven Gerrard and didn't make bold breakthroughs, mainly in midfield.

(In the past few days, I have seen many people talking about the two games of the national team, and they are skeptical about the tactics and personnel of the high director.) According to me, Gao Gui definitely knows Chinese football very well, and has a deep feeling, although there are some small points worth discussing in terms of personnel and tactics, but the general direction is completely correct.

Let's start with tactics. After fifteen years, back to the top 12 again, the national team is completely unfamiliar with this field, no one in the current international has played such a game, and the first two games will be against South Korea and Iran, which are recognized as the top two in Asia, shouldn't they be conservative and low-key? Everyone likes to play open attack and beautiful football, but is that suitable for the current Chinese team and the game they are playing now? Think about it, if you lose by a big score, what will be the consequences? Therefore, the foothold of the first two games is to win and lose by small losses, and that's exactly right! It is a very realistic choice to stabilize your position first, accumulate confidence, and then fight for a few relatively weak opponents to fight for the third place in the group!

What, who said to fight for the first place in the group? There are probably three types of people who say this. The first type is to watch the game with an entertainment mentality, this kind of people don't say much, they are not fans at all. The second type is that the intellectual development is not very normal, as long as it is slightly normal, it will never be in the top 12 before the start of the game, the strategy of the Chinese team to compete for the first place in the group is proposed, of course, with the trend of the future game, of course, we may also enter the ranks of the first, but that is a later story, not a consideration now. The third group is those who really understand football, but have extreme hatred for Chinese football, and they can't see Chinese football develop step by step. Because they understand the ball, and they advocate the Chinese team to attack against strong opponents, which is suspicious.

The tactical question is whether a back five is really better than a back four. We have seen that after the introduction of a back five, the defense of the midfield and the wing is extremely weak, lacking the protection of the full-back, and the full-back often has to fight the opponent's full-back one-on-one, or even be beaten by the enemy two-on-one. Away against South Korea, it is extremely risky for Zhang Linfan to face the impact of Sun Xingmin alone! At home against Iran, the enemy's cross also hit our goal many times!

Of course, there is also an advantage to using a back five to strengthen the central defense, after all, the wing attack cannot directly threaten the goal, and must go through the link of crossing and grabbing points. But I think it would be better for teams like South Korea and Iran that rely on wide attacks, and appropriately strengthen the wing defense and limit the enemy's crosses on the wings? ）
