Chapter 623 Looking for a better Yang Yang

Yang Yang broke the scoring drought!

This piece of news quickly occupied the front pages of the world's major media headlines.

In the past two months, although Yang Yang has had many wonderful performances and assisted his teammates to score goals, but overall it is still relatively sluggish, and there is a huge difference from the first half of the big kill.

Both the media and the fans believe that Yang Yang's state has indeed declined significantly after winning the personal Grand Slam. However, with this goal, Yang Yang broke his two-month scoring drought.

The Liverpool Echo celebrated Yang Yang breaking his scoring drought with a headline on the front page.

"With a vital goal, Yang Yang finally broke his two-month scoring drought, but more importantly, his goal brought Liverpool a precious three points."

"Before this round of the game, Arsenal temporarily led Liverpool by two points, but the Gunners drew with Birmingham away this round. Liverpool, relying on Yang Yang's lore goal at a critical moment, narrowly beat Middlesbrough [-]-[-] and took all three points."

"Liverpool recovered two points after the round and are back at the top of the league."

Echo retaliated against Liverpool's performance in this game and Yang Yang's performance after coming off the bench. He believed that the team's current problems still exist, especially in the defense. The combination of the newly joined Skrtel and Hypia is obviously not stable and tacit. The two conceded goals in this game are the best proof.

But for the midfield, the Echo believes that Javier Mascherano, who was elected as the man of the match, played a vital role.

"When everyone thinks that Mascherano is the world's top defensive midfielder, he planned three goals in this game, especially the long pass that assisted Yang Yang, which was very thoughtful."

According to the Echo, Mascherano may not be a top passer like Harvey Alonso, but he is definitely not a reckless man who can only defend. On the contrary, the Argentine's organizational skills and vision are quite good.

"Maybe, Benitez should give him more reuse in the future."

The Echo also believes that when the team needed it most, Yang Yang broke the scoring drought, which undoubtedly brought great confidence to Liverpool. I believe that Liverpool will play more confidently in the next away game against Inter Milan.

……

Sky Sports also believes that Yang Yang breaking the scoring drought is crucial to Liverpool.

"Benitez and the coaching staff gave Yang Yang a week-long vacation, hoping that he can put down the burden in his heart and go into battle lightly."

"Judging from the performance of this game, Yang Yang is obviously not in his best condition, but at least he performed well, especially the handling of the last kick, which was very relaxed and freehand, giving people a very elegant and calm demeanor."

Andy Gray, a well-known Premier League commentator, commented after the game that Yang Yang used to play football like a stretched rubber band, giving people a very vigorous feeling, but now he seems to be more calm.

"The handling of the last goal is really amazing."

"Although Middlesbrough's goalkeeper Schwarzer and central defender Witt made mistakes, Yang Yang's handling was eye-catching. He didn't even have any contact with Witt throughout the whole process, especially the lob shot with his back to the goal at the end, which fully reflected Yang Yang's keen shooting sense."

Andy Gray believes that this is not easy, because only the top shooters can have such a good sense of smell.

"Yang Yang has scored more than 21 goals in four consecutive seasons from the Eredivisie to the present. This is indeed extremely rare for a young player who is only [-] years old. Even Ronaldo failed to achieve such a result."

"And the continuous scoring and endless shooting opportunities have trained Yang Yang's outstanding shooting sense, and this sense of smell has helped Yang Yang break his scoring shortage."

……

After the match, Yang Yang accepted an interview with The Times according to the arrangement of the club.

In the interview, Yang Yang said that the holiday made him more relaxed.

"From my debut at Ajax to the present, I have never been in a trough for such a long time like now. Many people only pay attention to my scoring drought, but in fact, apart from not scoring, I felt that my whole state was very wrong."

"A lot of times, in the game, my thoughts come, but my body seems to be unable to keep up at all, and the reaction is not as sharp and quick as usual, so I know that there must be something wrong with me."

"I am very grateful to Benitez and the coaching staff. They let me rest. I am also very grateful to all my teammates. They have always supported me, trusted me and encouraged me. During my vacation, I learned a lot and let go of a lot of things."

For his current state, Yang Yang expressed that he is not satisfied.

"What everyone saw in this game is not the best Yang Yang."

"But I am not in a hurry now, really, because I know that manpower is limited and some things cannot be controlled, so I need to let myself learn to adapt and accept. At the same time, I also need to learn how to help the team when the state is not ideal, because I am not only good at scoring goals."

As for his next performance, Yang Yang believes that the main thing is to slowly regain his state.

"Van Basten told me that this is a process of slow accumulation, there is no rush, it needs to be accumulated bit by bit, and by that time, I believe, I will become stronger than ever before."

The Times believes that compared with Yang Yang's goal in this game, his change of mentality is more valuable, because it means that he is gradually finding his best, or even a better version of himself.

"We are looking forward to a better and better Yang Yang!"

…………

When the news that Yang Yang scored the winning goal in the No.20 round of the Premier League spread, and the media all over the world rushed to report, the news spread back to Milan, Italy immediately.

Inter Milan coach Mancini also got the information for the first time.

Because in three days, his team will face Liverpool at San Siro.

But at this most critical juncture, Yang Yang came back and broke the scoring drought. This is definitely not good news for Inter Milan.

In the manager's office, Mancini watched Sky Sports' Premier League highlights with two of his best assistants, assistant coach Fernando Orsi and technical assistant coach Fausto Salzano.

Yang Yang's goal was selected by Sky Sports as the best goal of this round of the Premier League. The comment is: Yang Yang's eyes seem to grow in the back of his head, and he can feel the direction of the goal without turning his head.

"He's really an amazing player." Mancini shook his head and sighed.

"The better the goal, the more difficult it is. Yang Yang's goal is very difficult from the judgment to the change of direction to the stop to the final lob shot with his back to the goal, but the most important thing is his judgment." Technical assistant Fausto Salzano is also full of admiration.

"Yeah, this ball is more difficult than what we saw, but the most frightening thing is that he handled it calmly and seemed to be able to handle it with ease. This is obviously not a coincidence or luck, but his purpose." Mancini said.

The coach of Inter Milan has been an excellent striker in his career. Although his scoring efficiency is not high, as a famous striker in Serie A in the World Cup era, Mancini still has the minimum vision and analytical ability.

"This is not his best state yet." Fernando Orsi shook his head and smiled wryly.

How terrible would it be if it was at its best?
"Sometimes, the scoring shortage or the trough of the state are also a kind of tempering for the players. Overcoming them, the players will become stronger and more confident. Almost every top star grows stronger through tempering."

When Mancini said this, he looked at Yang Yang on the screen with admiration.

Inter Milan once thought about bringing in Yang Yang and partnering him with his good brother Zlatan Ibrahimovic to form a set of top European super strikers, but unfortunately, Yang Yang went to Liverpool.

However, the Nerazzurri introduced Yang Yang's other two close buddies, Maicon and Maxwell.

These two Brazilian full-backs are currently the left and right full-backs of Inter Milan, and from their mouths, Mancini felt the threat of Yang Yang very clearly.

"It seems that Burdisso will not be able to play Liverpool in the middle of the week," Sarzano suggested.

Mancini nodded, "He's too slow, he can't guard against Yang Yang, let Cordoba go."

"Let Maicon limit him on the right side?"

"Maikon has been with him for three years. We are very familiar with each other and have a very good relationship. He understands Yang Yang's characteristics very well. It is very suitable for him to defend Yang Yang. But in this way, it may be difficult for us to organize offense on the right side."

Letting Maicon take charge of Yang Yang full-time would naturally have to sacrifice Maicon's offensive ability on the right.

As for the left, Maxwell is likely to be on the bit, which is also difficult to create a threat.

Facing Liverpool, Inter Milan has no offensive advantage. The two full-backs are restricted, and the front can only rely on Ibrahimovic and Kroos.

Fortunately, Ibrahimovic himself is that kind of self-sufficient center.

"To defend Crouch, we need Materazzi. Although he may not be able to limit Crouch, his height and strength are the most important defensive elements in our game. If he is partnered with Cordoba, he should be able to do it."

As soon as Salzano finished speaking, Mancini shook his head.

"No, just relying on Maikong on the right can't stop Yang Yang, let Zanetti come up and hit the three midfielders."

The three defensive midfielders are generally Vieira and Cambiasso, sometimes on Qiwu, and sometimes on Zanetti.

"But in this way, wouldn't Figo..."

"The key is to stabilize the defense first and make sure not to concede a goal." Manic said solemnly.

Judging from his tone, it is obvious that freezing Yang Yang is the key to stabilizing the defense without conceding the ball.
