Chapter 167 Center 3
The center.
Hearing this word, many people will think of the center on the basketball court. The feeling of height is very impressive. Therefore, many people consciously think that the center in their minds must be such a person to serve. This seems to make sense. Don't confuse football with basketball. There is no comparison at all.
In modern football, a simple definition of the center is: the offensive knife in the team, the main scorer on the field.
There is no doubt that the center must be the front of the team's formation. It is not too much to call it a sharp knife, and this position is always the closest to the goal, so it can also be said to be the team's final important scorer.
But in fact, in ordinary games, the team's center is often not efficient in scoring, while the scoring efficiency of the back and midfielders will be much higher. This is actually the responsibility of the center division, or to the topic just now, in football, the concept of center is very broad.
The center's main activities are around the opponent's penalty area in the front court. The main responsibility is to use personal skills to tear up the opponent's defense line, find and create opportunities for shooting, or create good offensive scoring opportunities for companions.
In today's European football, the definition of center is not so complicated.
However, there are still many types of center forwards.
One is a traditional center, which requires excellent physical fitness, a very strong air-out ability (good bouncing, good header), and is suitable for the team to play tough battles. Such a center is the most widely understood by the public, such as the famous star Trezeguet of Juventus.
The second is the shadow center, that is, the shadow striker. Many people classify the shadow striker as a single position, as if this position is a separate position, but in fact, the shadow striker also belongs to the striker, and in general, he is also a center.
This kind of center is definitely a different kind of center. They may not have outstanding skills, let alone a prominent body, but they have a keen sense of smell in front of the door and have a first-class body reaction ability. Many players tend to ignore them on the court, but when they react, they have been stabbed by him.
The most typical famous player of this kind of center is AC Milan's Inzaghi. Inzaghi's shot is completely dependent on consciousness. For the shadow striker, he has interpreted its meaning with practice.
The third type is the speed skill center.
Such a center needs a certain physical fitness, can resist the harassment of guard players, and must be fast, excellent technical ability, can get rid of the opponent in an instant, and directly face the opponent's goalkeeper or empty goal. Teams that advocate high-speed attack and small and medium-sized counterattack teams like such centers.
Owen and Barcelona's Eto'ao belong to this kind of center.
The last category is the all-round center, which is almost the representative of the scoring machine: there is speed, consciousness, and body. In the counterattack, it can quickly break through the opponent's defense line, and in the offensive battle, it can only destroy the opponent's defense with one person. This is the all-round center. Such a guy is a scoring machine. It is basically impossible to prevent them one-on-one.
Obviously, this will be the favorite of the big team and the absolute main player of the team.
Such players will be very famous, such as Real Madrid's 'alien' Ronaldo, Manchester United's Dutch striker Van Nistruy, Arsenal's 'King' Henry the Great.
Although the center is divided into many types, in fact, in Liverpool, the center is the first, that is, the body-shaped center, which is the most general center.
And the English football style also needs this kind of center.
In a tactical sense, just like Barosh playing center, his role is to make a 'wooden stake' in the penalty area to attract the attention of the opposing players, so as to find good opportunities for his teammates.
This is already the most common center meaning in Liverpool's tactics.
In fact, this kind of center is liked by every team and every offensive player, such as Husky and Michael, who have just left Liverpool. Owen was able to score so many goals last season. Husky is a great contribution. He takes the initiative to attract Owen's defensive attention every game. If he has the opportunity, he will directly header and pass the ball. With such a perfect teammate, it is strange that Owen has scored less goals.
Now, in Benitez's tactical system, such a center is also needed.
In fact, Cise is more suitable, but Cise's speed is also good. It's a waste to be such a center, and Don Jack's long-range shot is very threatening. In Benitez's heart, he is the candidate for scoring goals, so Barrosh has become a role to attract firepower.
Now, Don Jack and Barrosh have changed positions.
Not only Benitez, but everyone is confused, because Don Jack has shown that extraordinary long-range shooting ability in Liverpool. Everyone thinks that other bodies and so on can only be regarded as ordinary. Even so, that surprising long-range shooting ability is enough to win a main position for Don Jack.
"Can he do it?"
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"Try it. Anyway, it's very passive now. Jack may be a little useful at that point..."
......
The ideas of Liverpool players on the court are divided into categories. In short, they are not very optimistic about Don Jack, and Manchester City players are happy. They think their own defense is easier. Since this annoying brunette boy has taken the initiative to come to the penalty area, what else can they say? Prevent him from killing him!
They all think so, so when Don Jack enters the penalty area, he faces more defensive pressure than Baroche, and the latter happily out of the penalty area and runs back and forth on the penalty area line. The activity makes people want to kick a few feet, which makes many people can't help but think of the "play time" in the prison... Is it so horrible in the restricted area?
Jack Don doesn't think so.
After getting to the penalty area, two or three defensive players have been sticking to him, but Don Jack doesn't feel anything at all. The main reason is that if there is a chance, Don Jack knows that he can easily squeeze these defensive players away. He has no physical and mental pressure at all. On the contrary, he will perform more in this position. It's better, at least it won't be as depressed as before.
It's really the most depressing to have a good position but can't catch a pass.
Obviously, Barosh did not have such worries, and Manchester City did not do any tactics against him. In other words, Manchester City coach Keegan did not think Barosh had any threat... It seems to have been underestimated... Unfortunately, Barosh doesn't have this awareness at all. It's better to feel that no one is defending, so that he can at least catch more.
Now, every time I touch the ball, it is very happy for Barosh.
Poor guy...
Don Jack looked at the active Baroche and felt a little sympathetic. This is still a child who has not grown up... Well, it seems that he is two years younger than him....
