Chapter 606 Yang Yang's Contribution

"Liverpool attack from the right..."

"Arbeloa passed to the front and passed it to Dirk."

"Dukiter takes the ball, crosses to the back..."

"Vidic took the lead, blocked Yang Yang with his body, and the ball went out of the baseline, a corner kick."

"It's Liverpool's first corner."

"Gerrard took the corner and Ferdinand took the first spot and headed the ball high."

"The ball sees the height but does not see the distance, and it is still in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United."

"Van der Sar strikes, gets disturbed, Crouch headed the ball..."

"The ball returned to the front point...Yang Yang..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 207 minutes, No. 207 minutes, Liverpool scored a goal!"

"Crouch headed the ball and assisted Yang Yang with a header from close range to break through Manchester United's empty goal."

"Van der Sar's attack failed to clear the siege. This time Liverpool's corner kick was very successful. Whether it was the interference of the players or the support of the movement, it was obviously well prepared."

"In less than half an hour of the game, Manchester United was already one goal behind."

"Ferguson looked a bit disappointed. He put a lot of effort into defense in this game, but he was still seized by Liverpool, and it was Yang Yang again. This is his No.20 league goal so far this season."

"This goal fully demonstrates Yang Yang's calmness and judgment in front of the goal."

"Crouch's header came very suddenly, but Yang Yang's reaction was also very fast. He shook his head on the spot, hit a close-range upper left corner, and directly headed the ball into the goal."

…………

…………

When Yang Yang finally scored Manchester United's goal, the emotions that had been accumulated for half an hour at Anfield finally exploded at that moment, and all the fans in the audience went crazy!

In fact, for Liverpool, this double red meeting is more of a traditional meaning, which is a bit similar to the meaning of the derby.

In the standings, Liverpool is far ahead and Arsenal is second. On the other hand, Manchester United did not play well in the first [-] rounds.

They have lost two so far, with three draws remaining.

Looking at the previous four months, Manchester United performed best in October, that is, the month Rooney won the player of the month. Manchester United scored four goals in three consecutive games. Rooney performed very well and his state broke out quickly.

During that time, Rooney had an amazing performance of four goals and four assists in four rounds of the league, but after the outbreak, he was affected by injuries. Since then, he has no goals or assists, and the number of goals has been stopped at four goals.

Except for Rooney's outbreak in October, Manchester United's performance in other months was very average. Almost every game was played with bumps and bumps, and almost all of them were narrowly won by one goal. Several core players in the team did not perform well.

Such as top star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese, who threatened to compete with Yang Yang before the season, has been thoroughly compared in the first half of the league.

In the first [-] rounds, the Portuguese played almost all the games. Compared with other Premier League players, the score sheet of eight goals and one assist may be good. He currently ranks third in the Premier League scorer list, only one goal behind Arsenal's Adebayor.

But if compared with Yang Yang, it is much inferior, because Yang Yang scored [-] goals and [-] assists in the first [-] rounds. This report card is second to none, not to mention the Premier League, even if you look at the four major leagues.

The Sun, which is close to Manchester United, believes that it is not that other players are not performing well, but that Yang Yang is too strong.

According to Yang Yang's current scoring efficiency, with his performance this season, more than [-] goals will not be a problem.

But there are also many media who believe that Yang Yang scored [-] goals in the [-]th round, which is really amazing, but other Premier League shooters failed to reach double-digit goals in the first [-] rounds. It can only be said that the overall is relatively average.

When Henry, Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy and other Premier League stars gathered, what a spectacular scene on the scorer list, but now it is hard to see, so that Yang Yang is the best, and others are far behind.

……

Due to Liverpool's recent state of being very good, although the team has just won the Club World Cup in Japan and has been traveling back and forth, the team is very tired, but Ferguson still dare not be careless.

Before the game, the Manchester United coach made it clear that the team's goal is to take a point away from Anfield.

And in this game, although he put on a [-] formation, nine players actually invested in defense. In many cases, only one Cristiano Ronaldo was left in front to fight back.

Both strikers Rooney and Carlos Tevez retreated to their defense.

It can be seen that Manchester United is really very afraid of Liverpool's offense.

The grievances and confrontations in history, and the pressure accumulated over decades have caused the players on both sides to bear heavy burdens. Even the head coaches of both sides dare not rush into it easily, which greatly reduces the excitement of the game.

Manchester United took the initiative to hide and defend, which is a big test for Liverpool's ability to break through dense attacks.

But everyone knows that breaking the dense ability is the difficulty of all the strong teams in the world.

In the first 20 minutes or so, Liverpool couldn't come up with an effective solution.

It is also difficult for Yang Yang to get a chance under the freeze of Gary Neville and Hargreaves.

No matter how strong he is, it is impossible to face Gary Neville and Hargreaves at the same time, the two famous European players, not to mention Rooney and Carlos Tevez also actively returned to the midfield, making Manchester United's defense extremely solid.

Liverpool seems to have the advantage, but in fact they failed to get a decent chance.

Of course, Yang Yang was closely watched by Manchester United, and Ronaldinho also failed to escape Liverpool's defensive imprisonment.

In the first half hour, the Manchester United star did not get any chance.

However, no one expected that Liverpool would create chaos in Manchester United's penalty area with a corner kick. In the end, Yang Yang seized the opportunity and directly headed into the empty goal, breaking through Manchester United's goal.

This time, Manchester United was passive.

…………

…………

Ferguson reached out and grabbed his chin vigorously, shaking his head.

Meishan's tightly locked appearance revealed the stalemate in his heart at this moment.

"It was obviously not an opportunity, but he caught it!" Ferguson said depressingly.

The reason why it is not a chance is because the penalty area was too chaotic at the time, and no one knew where the ball would fly. As a result, Crouch pushed back to the front point impromptu, but Yang Yang appeared in that place by accident, and he was able to push a top left corner in a hurry.

At that time, if he hit the ground ball, he might not have scored, because Anderson was nearby.

"Van der Sar's attack this time was a bit sloppy." Queiroz shook his head and said.

Ferguson nodded, indeed.

The most important thing is that after Van der Sar attacked, he failed to clear the ball, which is a mistake for a goalkeeper.

In the past two years, Manchester United's defense has been greatly improved, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has also been highly praised, but in fact, he is not without mistakes. At best, it can only be said that his mistakes did not bring disaster to Manchester United.

But this is the credit of the defense.

At the beginning, Vidic was originally valued by Liverpool's Benitez, but Ferguson took the lead and dug the Serbian central defender to Manchester United, directly creating the double central defender combination of Vidic and Ferdinand.

The main reason is that Vidic is strong enough to hold the scene. He is like Chelsea's Terry, playing the core role of the pillar of the back line.

The reason why Liverpool and Arsenal's defenses are unstable is precisely that they both lack a pillar-type central defender.

Without such a central defender, the scene cannot be controlled, and the defense cannot be stabilized.

Originally, Hyypia was such a central defender, but he is old now. Daniel Agger was introduced to play this role, but he has suffered a lot of injuries this season. It is said that Benitez still wants this type of central defender.

Carragher is the leader of the defense, but he is more like Carvalho and Ferdinand. He needs a pillar-type central defender as a partner to be able to play a better role and stabilize the defense.

In fact, Liverpool was sluggish for a period of time. Daniel Agger was injured, Hyypia was in poor condition and made frequent mistakes. Liverpool was almost on the verge of collapse.

Unexpectedly, relying on Yang Yang's goal and the defense of Gerrard, Mascherano and others in the midfield, Benitez just survived, which also created Liverpool's current lead.

This is not the victory of Liverpool as a whole, or Benitez, but the credit of Yang Yang alone.

During that period of time, he was almost dragging Liverpool running and sprinting alone.

And Manchester United lacks such a player.

Cristiano Ronaldo has not shown superhuman strength this season. Rooney once played in form, but after only playing four games, he was injured, and then the form was gone.

On the other hand, Yang Yang, it has been four months now, and he is still so vigorous.

This player has a strong ability to seize opportunities, and his sense of movement is also very sensitive. He can't be restrained!

Ferguson is now like receiving a hot potato, in a dilemma.

Continue to defend like this, Liverpool has the ball in hand, and they must be very happy to see him so negative, because it means that they can easily win the game, and this is what Ferguson is most unwilling to see.

But if you choose a more aggressive style of play, you will have to sacrifice your defense. Will you be able to defend it then?

The trident formed by Yang Yang, Crouch and Dirk, plus Gerrard ambushing behind him, how terrible is this offensive combination, need I say more?
Thinking of this, Ferguson let out a long sigh.

"Let's wait a little longer," Ferguson said helplessly.

I thought a lot, but in the end it was just one sentence.

Queiroz knew what Ferguson meant, and he also understood Ferguson's difficulties.

Pressing out to fight now is still too early and too risky.

It would be better to wait for Liverpool to take the initiative to make mistakes, or wait for an opportunity to counterattack in the second half.

All in all, Manchester United is now very passive.

And it was Yang Yang's damn goal that caused all of this!
