Chapter 607 Slap Ferguson in the face

When many media commented on the top four of the Premier League, they generally believed that Manchester United's overall strength was slightly better than the other three teams.

This is a consistent characteristic of Manchester United under Ferguson's coaching.

The Red Devils played very holistically, not only in offense, but also in their defense.

On the whole, Manchester United is not used to defensive counterattacks. Even if Ferguson arranged for nine players to retreat, in fact, the blood of offensive football is still flowing in the bones of this team.

The football field is indeed full of unpredictability, but it must be admitted that the advantage of overall strength can bring a higher error tolerance rate, whether it is in a 10-minute game or in a long season.

In today's highly informatized world, there is no such thing as a dusty pearl. Young players, at the age of fifteen or even earlier, will immediately attract the attention of strong teams, such as Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale.

In the European transfer market where you get what you pay for, the rich and powerful Manchester United can always dig better players.

Anderson, Nani and Hargreaves, who spent more than 2000 million to bring in, are all players who have proven themselves in the Portuguese Super League and Bundesliga, as well as in the Champions League. They are more reliable than Benayoun, Pennant and Lucas Leiva.

The team built with these players will naturally be stronger overall.

But sometimes, Liverpool can't play games that Manchester United can play.

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

With so much less financial revenue than Manchester United, Liverpool is destined to not be able to support such a huge player lineup.

Benitez can only barely build a competitive starting lineup, supplemented by a group of cost-effective players such as Benayoun, Pennant and Lucas Leiva, and try to build a competitive team.

What makes Liverpool feel extremely fortunate is that their only big spend over the years, spending 4000 million euros to introduce Yang Yang from Ajax, turned out to be an extremely wise decision.

This not only relieved everyone in Liverpool, but also gave Benitez a higher confidence.

Yang Yang is constantly scoring goals, constantly breaking through, constantly improving his own strength, and at the same time constantly raising the upper limit of Liverpool.

As the team's head coach, all he needs to do is to constantly consolidate the team's foundation and lower limit, and try his best to give full play to Yang Yang's threat and strength on the field.

Many people say that Benitez doesn't like star players, which is wrong.

What he doesn't like are star players who don't have enough strength but want to have tactical privileges.

But for a player like Yang Yang, any head coach in the world will regard him as a treasure, including him Benitez.

Because he knew that his trust and support would always be rewarded by Yang Yang.

…………

…………

After Manchester United conceded a goal, they continued to defend and counterattack, using Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo on the wings as counterattack weapons.

The Red Devils were not at all flustered by falling behind.

On the contrary, not long after the start of the second half, Liverpool made a mistake.

Also in the penalty area, also a corner kick.

Giggs quickly sent out a tactical corner kick. Rooney took a long-range shot directly from the edge of the penalty area. Liverpool players failed to block it in time.

Carlos Tevez scrambled to catch up and blocked Rooney's crooked shot into Liverpool's goal.

One to one!

Manchester United equalized the score!
Ferguson was excited on the sidelines.

He has always been very clear that Liverpool's defense is not as solid as Manchester United's. What is really scary about them is the midfield.

The midfield of Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Mascherano was the strongest in Europe.

But the back line is not.

The Red Army had a healthy Daniel Agger last season, but this season the Danish central defender has not been able to recover after being injured, while Hyypia is already very old.

During the league, the game is one game after another, and it is impossible to leave enough time for Liverpool to adjust.

To put it bluntly, the overall strength is still not strong enough.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ferguson's mouth.

The two sides returned to the same starting line, and he once again saw the hope of victory.

After winning this double red game, the next thing is his best Christmas devil schedule.

Yang Yang's peak state has been maintained for four months, which is very unbelievable. He has shown his amazing stability, but even if he is a god, it is impossible to continue to maintain this state.

Either Christmas or January, he's sure to slide!

Especially after getting the World Footballer.

Ferguson knows professional football and professional players too well. He clearly sees that Yang Yang can maintain his state because he has a clear goal and direction in his heart, and he wants to win the World Footballer of the Year.

But when he achieved his goal and reached his destination, what should he do next?
Sometimes, some things seem simple, but easier said than done, but extremely difficult to do.

For example, Ronaldinho's state has declined rapidly after his peak, is it just because he is not self-disciplined enough?
No, there is another very important part of the reason, that is, he lost the direction and motivation to struggle.

He is already No.1 in world football, and has won the supreme honor that everyone dreams of.

No matter how hard he tries, no matter how hard he fights, the most he can do is take it again.

It is human nature to have a trough after a peak.

As with the team, so with the players.

Once Yang Yang has a trough, Liverpool will inevitably fall from the leading position.

This is Manchester United's chance!

……

After seeing Tevez's goal, Ferguson was complacent, as if he had seen the scene where Manchester United reversed Liverpool and reached the top.

But soon, he seemed to have been slapped, and his face was swollen.

Because he realized that he had made a very serious mistake.

Now, Yang Yang has not won the supreme honor he dreamed of.

He is still the Yang Yang who is full of hunger and thirst!
…………

…………

"Liverpool steals the ball from the front of the penalty area!"

"Javier Mascherano gave the ball to Xabi Alonso."

"Xavi Alonso made a long pass directly to the frontcourt..."

……

Amid the exclamation of more than 5 Liverpool fans in the audience, the Red Army played a quick counterattack.

Yang Yang threw away Gary Neville, rushed across Manchester United's half at a very fast speed, and went straight to the penalty area.

Manchester United had just equalized the score, and the players on the field wanted to give it their all. In the attack just now, the team as a whole pressed a bit too high. This caused Liverpool to counterattack. Only Vidic and Ferdinand were dragged down in the defense.

Vidic returned to the defense immediately, chasing the ball with Yang Yang at the same time.

The Serbian central defender's turning speed and starting speed were slow, but Yang Yang's position was further back, which caused the two to catch up to the outside of Manchester United's penalty area almost at the same time.

The ball fell slowly, Vidic judged the landing point, and he used his body to block Yang Yang on the left.

In Vidic's impression, Yang Yang has always been known for his speed, explosive power and dribbling breakthrough, and his physical fitness is not his strong point. This led the Serbian central defender to think that as long as he suppressed a little, he could restrain Yang Yang.

But as soon as the two made physical contact, Vidic realized he was wrong.

Yang Yang's body looks very thin, but the strength confrontation is not bad at all.

Compared with Vidic, a powerful and strong man, it is of course insufficient, but it is unrealistic to want to eat him in one go, especially Vidic has to consider making a clearance.

Vidic is tall and has long legs. He originally had many different options.

At this time, there were only four players near the Manchester United penalty area. They were Vidic who was chasing Yang Yang back to defend, Hargreaves behind him, and Ferdinand in the middle.

Originally Vidic meant to suppress Yang Yang with his body, and then squeeze him away, grab the best position, and then pass back or cross.

This is undoubtedly the safest way.

But suddenly, he realized that his body could not easily suppress Yang Yang as expected.

Not only that, but Yang Yang seemed to be ruthless, regardless of the danger, he took the initiative to stick his head out, and headed forward to meet the falling ball first.

This top just pushed the ball out, leaving Vidic's foot empty.

The Serbian central defender was taken aback, and stopped his foot in time, otherwise, this kick would have directly hit Yang Yang on the forehead, and blood spattering on the spot was inevitable.

But precisely because of this, Yang Yang took this opportunity to break away from Vidic's entanglement and quickly chased after him.

I don't know if it was because of the mistake in the attack just now, Van der Sar was a little inaccurate in grasping the timing of this attack, or maybe Yang Yang hit it, which was beyond his expectation. In short, when Van der Sar attacked, Yang Yang caught up with the ball first.

With a dunk, Yang Yang dunked the ball past the attacking goalkeeper Van der Sar...

At this moment, the entire Anfield stadium burst into thunderous exclamations.

After Yang Yang avoided Van der Sar, he chased after him with another stride, and pushed the inside of his left foot.

Ferdinand, who was in the middle, quickly returned to the penalty area. In shock, he fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, trying to clear the ball before it rolled to the goal line, but in the end he slid into the goal with the ball.

After his slide shovel, the lawn was a mess.

After Yang Yang pushed the shot, his whole momentum remained undiminished, and he rushed out of the court, raising his hands all the way, shouting vigorously, celebrating his goal.

Behind him, the referee finally blew the whistle for a goal!
Less than 3 minutes after Manchester United equalized the score, Liverpool relied on a quick counterattack. Yang Yang scored twice and broke Manchester United's goal again.

Two to one!

When Yang Yang rushed to the bottom of the Liverpool fans stands, all the fans in the audience were chanting his name frantically.

The team's number one star who just won the European Golden Globe, the Club World Cup and the best player saved Liverpool again!
And more than 5 fans in the audience were watching him kneeling on the turf in the corner area.

The raised fists, and the iconic colorful bracelet on his left hand.

This scene is unforgettable for a long time!
