Chapter 669 Be careful!

"Yang Yang failed to get a chance on the left and was forced to pass back to the midfield."

"Manchester United deployed heavy forces on their right flank, especially after taking the lead. Liverpool attacked fiercely, and Yang Yang played very threateningly on the left flank. Not only was Wes Brown pinned down, but even Carrick and Rooney had to retreat to defend."

"Gareth Barry took the ball, passed it back through the middle and gave it to Xabi Alonso."

"Look here, Liverpool attacking again."

"Yang Yang's running range is very large, and he suddenly started an inside cut."

"Jarvey Alonso passed forward, Yang Yang knocked back..."

"Beautiful one-two, Xavi Alonso hit the goal directly from the front of the penalty area..."

"Manchester United's defense is also quite tight. The ball hit Ferdinand and bounced to the right."

"Still at the feet of Liverpool, with Benayoun on the ball..."

……

Benayoun received the ball unmarked, looked up the penalty area, he saw Dirk, Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso, and the most threatening was Dirk, because he happened to be in the most dangerous area in the middle.

After the Israeli midfielder stopped the ball, he sent a cross without thinking.

The ball passed Evra and fell to the middle of the penalty area.

Driven seized the most powerful position, blocked Vidic behind him with his body, and chased after him.

But at this critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly abandoned the goal and rushed out of the small penalty area, jumped high, and shot the ball.

Obviously, the Dutch goalkeeper was not sure that he would take off the pass under the interference of Dirk.

The ball did not fly far, Van der Sar hit Wes Brown on the right.

Brown's attention fell on the ball. Since the ball from Van der Sar was neither high nor low, it was difficult to handle, so he waited for the ball to hit the ground and made a clearance immediately.

Unexpectedly, Wes Brown heard the reminder from his teammates before the ball was in front of him.

"careful!"

Before he could figure out who it was, Brown felt a blur in front of him. A figure in a red jersey jumped ahead of him, pushing the falling ball forward with his head...

Brown reacted, but what he saw was his back.

On the back of the red jersey is a huge white Arabic numeral 11, and above the number is the English letter YANG!

"Damn it!" Brown was shocked.

But Yang Yang's reaction was faster. After taking the lead with a header, he caught up with his right foot and then kicked out with his left foot.

And the ball quickly entered the unguarded goal from behind Vidic and Van der Sar.

……

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 30 minutes, No. 30 minutes, Liverpool finally equalized the score!"

"Yang Yang! A goal from Yang Yang!"

"This is undoubtedly a very crucial goal. Yang Yang, who wore the Liverpool captain's armband for the first time, was very active throughout the first half. He was the most threatening player on the pitch and also equalized the score for Liverpool."

"One to one, the two sides have returned to the same starting line."

……

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he quickly rushed out of the penalty area, opening his arms all the way, like a glider, flying over the Anfield Stadium, receiving cheers from more than 5 Liverpool fans in the stands.

He is also very excited!
Finally, Yang Yang stood under the KOP stand, looking at the group of crazy Liverpool fans in the stand from afar.

Soon, Harvey Alonso, Dirk Dirk and other teammates also chased after him, surrounded Yang Yang from behind and from left and right, and everyone was cheering for his goal.

One to one, Liverpool finally equalized the score.

This was really not easy for the entire first half.

Because after conceding the goal in only 3 minutes of the opening, Manchester United began to adopt a tenacious defensive counterattack tactics, which caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool. Even though Yang Yang was very active and created many threatening opportunities, he still failed to break through Manchester United's goal.

But now, Yang Yang shot himself and equalized the score.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the race returned to the same starting line.

……

"Calm down, don't worry, there is still an hour to the game, we don't want a draw, we want to win!"

Yang Yang hugged his teammates left and right, and he couldn't tell who the people around him were, anyway, as long as they were wearing red jerseys, they were his own.

"In our case, let Manchester United walk in and go out lying down!"

Yang Yang's vocal encouragement boosted the morale of his teammates.

Especially after the equalizer.

Yang Yang noticed Harvey Alonso, walked over specially, patted his wet face lightly, and then patted Gareth Barry on the shoulder.

These two players are older than him, but they are not as good as him in terms of their role on the court or in the locker room. Moreover, today he is the captain on the court and even more so plays the role of a leader.

In fact, after conceding a goal, Liverpool's midfield was well organized, especially as the game progressed, players such as Xavi Alonso and Gareth Barry gradually entered the role.

The frontcourt offense is centered on Yang Yang, and everyone is playing around him. If Yang Yang is active, Manchester United has to switch to defense. Liverpool players will get more space and opportunities, and they will naturally play out.

But the Red Devils are not a fuel-efficient lamp. After conceding a goal and being equalized, Manchester United still adopts a steady defense tactic.

Ferguson knew very well that Liverpool's midfield was very strong, especially the combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, and the addition of Gareth Barry made Liverpool's midfield even more powerful.

…………

…………

In the next ten or so minutes, Liverpool played several impressive attacks, but they were still unable to break through Manchester United's goal, while the Red Devils played a counterattack, but they still failed to create a threat.

Back in the locker room, Benitez was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half, especially after admitting that the team conceded the ball, they were able to quickly return to normal and enter into the self-adjustment of the game.

In fact, everyone knows that Benitez praised the captain Yang Yang without naming his name.

"We had a very serious problem with our attack in the first half, and that was that we hardly created decent chances on the right flank, the only time it was a goal."

Benitez looked to Benayoun, obviously reminding the Israelis that they should be more proactive in the second half.

Benitez has always valued Pennant as a crosser from the right side of Liverpool. However, sometimes Pennant is not self-disciplined and often gets into trouble. Gradually, Benitez began to prefer Benayoun, who is more creative. In this game, Benitez started the game.

Of course, if Crouch has a starter, it is estimated that Pennant will still be used, because his cross from the right is very threatening.

"According to my observation, Rooney has also started to run a little bit, so if there is a chance, we should play more boldly on the side."

"I can tell you that in the second half, Ferguson will definitely focus on Yang Yang on the left to defend. He alone cannot solve the problem. Aurelio, you should work harder."

The Brazilian left back nodded heavily. He focused on marking Rooney in the first half. Even when Rooney retreated to participate in the defense, he did not dare to press too much for fear of making mistakes.

"Also, Manchester United's defensive focus is on the right side, so their left side is prone to problems, especially when Carrick frequently moves closer to the left side. The right side of their defense line will be relatively weak. We didn't use it enough in the first half, and we must pay attention to it in the second half."

Having said that, Benitez looked at Harvey Alonso and Benayoun, "Benayon wants to run more to the middle to get out of the gap and pass the ball behind him, and Harvey Alonso wants to distribute the ball more here."

Yang Yang attracts defensive attention and gets more chances from the center and right, which has always been Liverpool's forte.

But the problem was that Gerrard was absent, Crouch was injured, Dirk was forced to move to the center, and Benayoun didn't feel bold enough on the right, which led to Liverpool's attack in the first half leaning heavily to the left.

To put it simply, it is completely dependent on Yang Yang.

What's interesting is that the only goal came from Benayoun's cross from the right, which caused Van der Sar to attack, which in turn caused confusion in Manchester United's penalty area, and Yang Yang seized the opportunity.

Therefore, things on the football field are always accidental and inevitable results.

…………

…………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Manchester United immediately made substitution adjustments.

It is very surprising that Ferguson replaced Carrick with Ryan Giggs.

This time the substitution was very confusing, because Manchester United then changed into a four-four-two, Rooney was pulled back to the position of the right midfielder, and Giggs played the left midfielder.

But even so, there is absolutely no need to replace Carrick.

Therefore, the on-site commentator believes that Carrick is likely to be injured and has to be replaced.

This is quite fair, Liverpool also suffered three or four injuries.

After Carrick left the field, Manchester United changed their formation, but Liverpool still adopted the tactics of the first half, chasing the Red Devils fiercely.

Ferguson obviously stepped up his defense against Yang Yang. After Rooney retreated, he defended more resolutely. He and Wes Brown almost all aimed to freeze Yang Yang. Anderson also frequently assisted in defense on this side.

Benitez also responded quickly, and the two full-backs began to move forward more actively. In addition to Javier Mascherano, who was lagging behind, Gareth Barry and Harvey Alonso also actively pushed forward.

Liverpool began to suppress Manchester United, and the Red Army also frequently created opportunities.

First, Yang Yang made a cross from the left, but Didier Dirk failed to grab the target. Then Yang Yang made a wonderful pass to Aurelio and shot wide. Immediately, Yang Yang and Dirk cooperated again.

But Manchester United is not helpless. In 5 minutes, Manchester United counterattacked, but could not break into Liverpool's penalty area. Scholes shot 25 meters from the outside of the goal and failed to create a threat.

Liverpool began to take advantage of the field.
