Chapter 672 Who is the flower?

"I'm happy for our game today because we played to our fullest."

At the press conference after the game, Benitez became the protagonist of media reporters' attention.

Before the game, Ferguson took the initiative to provoke and belittle Xavi Alonso, and Benitez counterattacked passively. Now, Liverpool have reversed Manchester United [-]-[-] at home, and Benitez must have no reason to let Ferguson go.

That's really not Benitez's style.

"We were once behind a very good team, but when we were behind, we showed our personality and played very tenaciously. This is a very positive factor and has greatly helped us throughout the season."

"Frankly, I was disappointed to be conceded so early, because I wanted to put pressure on the opponent from the beginning, but sometimes the game is like this, there are many uncontrollable factors. Fortunately, after conceding the goal early, the whole team performed very well, which allowed us to quickly turn the situation around."

Benitez also named and praised Liverpool's players. He first mentioned Xavi Alonso. He believed that although the Spanish midfielder had made mistakes, his overall performance was quite good and he played very well.

There is also the new aid Gareth Barry. Benitez obviously also considers the competition between Harvey Alonso and Gareth Barry, so he also believes that the England midfielder has worked very hard and played his own level of strength.

"Obviously, he's playing better game after game and I'm sure he can play an increasingly important role in the team."

Benitez believes that Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick, is the key to Liverpool's victory over Manchester United in this game.

"Physically, he is not yet fully ready, but we need his ability, because many of our players, including Steven Gerrard, Crouch and Carragher, cannot participate in this game, so we need Yang Yang and need him to play a role at critical moments."

"Facts have proved that Yang Yang never disappoints. He played very well, very well, and he can even be said to be the best player in the team, especially the first two goals, each of which is very beautiful and very important."

Everyone knows that Benitez never likes to praise people, so he rarely praises people, but this time, he spent a few minutes to praise Yang Yang's performance in today's game, which shows that he attaches great importance to this game in his heart and affirms Yang Yang. It can be said that this is the greatest compliment to Yang Yang.

After winning this game, Liverpool can be said to be aiming for the league championship, but Benitez believes that it is not so easy.

"I think that if we want to win the Premier League again, we need to do two things well. One is to continue to maintain our advantage over the top teams. We got a valuable three points from Manchester United today, but there are other teams. Another aspect is to play against other teams. We also need to score points steadily."

Although Benitez found it difficult, he also expressed his confidence in the team.

"I think we can get a satisfactory result at the end of the season."

……

In contrast to Benitez, Ferguson was furious when answering questions at the post-match press conference.

"My take on the whole game was that Liverpool played better than us, a lot better."

"Their tackles were ferocious, they created problems for us, they forced us to make mistakes, and we didn't deal with it well, which was the root of our failure."

"In fact, we started very well. We established a lead early on. I thought at the time that we could build on this and play better and better. But what I didn't expect was that our defense made a mistake."

"Yang Yang's personal performance has rewritten the trend of the game. The first two goals are absolutely astonishing, which fully reflects Yang Yang's top personal strength. I even think that if fans watch the replay of goals in the future, they may feel that Yang Yang is not facing a top team that aims to hit the league championship and the Champions League championship, but an amateur team."

"Except for Ferdinand, none of our performances on the court deserved to be called excellent. We were completely defeated by Yang Yang!"

Ferguson obviously hoped to take this opportunity to praise Yang Yang and stimulate Manchester United's players, and what he said was indeed true. Manchester United's entire midfield was sluggish, including Berbatov who assisted at the beginning.

The partners of Daniel Agger and Skrtel played quite well in this game. Coupled with the three midfielders, Manchester United basically did not get a decent chance.

The defense was good, but it was a pity that Vidic elbowed Xavi Alonso during the fight towards the end of the second half. As a result, he received a second yellow card and was sent off by a red card.

After losing the ball and losing someone, Ferguson's anger can be imagined.

Because the next game, Manchester United will challenge Chelsea away.

…………

Sky Sports announced the player ratings for this game immediately after the game. Yang Yang won the player of the game with a score of [-], which is close to the full score, and he did get the best player of the game after the game.

Liverpool players generally scored between seven and eight points. Only Gerrard, who returned from injury, and Hyypia, who came off the bench in the final stage, scored six points. Among them, Gerrard was mainly because he had just recovered from his injury and was completely out of form.

But Gerrard's coming off the bench was very encouraging.

Although they are both captains, Gerrard is the local soul of Liverpool. His symbolic significance in this team is not comparable to that of Yang Yang. This is a spiritual heritage that cannot be replaced no matter how many goals he scores.

Manchester United's worst performance was Van der Sar, who only scored four points, because he made several mistakes in this game.

The other players are basically between five and six points.

In addition to announcing the game player scores, Sky Sports also wrote a special report for Yang Yang, believing that Yang Yang was the most eye-catching player in this game. When the team was in a downturn, he once again supported Liverpool and carried the pressure.

"When Yang Yang was on the court, he was the most threatening player on the court every minute, and he was very active, especially in the first half. He relied on his personal ability to dribble through several times, which left a very deep impression on people. He scored three goals alone, staged a hat-trick, led the team to reverse Manchester United, and made great contributions to Liverpool. At the same time, he also laid a solid foundation for this season's impact on the league championship."

……

The Guardian used the front-page headline [Complete Victory] to describe Liverpool's game!
They listed the key statistics of this game. Liverpool crushed Manchester United by 25 to [-] in the number of shots, which is five times that of the Red Devils. This undoubtedly made Ferguson's team feel very embarrassed.

The Guardian commented that this shouldn't be a strong dialogue between top teams at all.

"As Ferguson said, it's more like a Premier League team versus an amateur team."

The ball possession rate is similar, 53 to 46, and the pass success rate is 76 to 69. Combined with the number of shots of the two teams, it is not difficult to see that it is difficult for Manchester United to break through Liverpool's defense and create a threatening offense for most of the game.

"Except for the number of fouls between [-] and [-], Manchester United got two yellow cards and one red card, Liverpool didn't get a yellow card or a yellow card, and for all the remaining statistics, Manchester United is at a disadvantage without exception."

"It was such a complete defeat that Ferguson accused his players in the post-match press conference of playing as badly as amateurs."

……

In addition to Sky Sports and the Guardian, other major British media have also focused on reporting on this crucial matchup.

Even those media who are not used to Liverpool or Yang Yang on weekdays have to admit this time that Liverpool and Yang Yang have really shown the strength to crush Manchester United.

Of course, this is not because Liverpool is so strong, but because Manchester United really performed poorly in this game, and coupled with being suppressed at the tactical level, Ferguson is powerless.

The loss of power in the midfield has put Manchester United in a passive position.

As for Yang Yang's performance, he gave overwhelming praise, thinking that the Chinese hat-trick fired the first shot to hit this year's World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, making these two awards full of suspense.

Media close to Liverpool, including the Liverpool Post, The Daily Telegraph and The Times, have written articles praising Yang Yang, believing that with his current performance, he is fully worthy of the two supreme honors.

But there are also media close to Manchester United who believe that Cristiano Ronaldo helped the team win a Champions League and deserves this award. One of the important reasons why Manchester United lost the Double Red Club was the absence of the Portuguese.

With Kaka's decline, Messi has no honor to win. The two most competitive players this year are undoubtedly Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yang Yang won the Premier League title, the Premier League scorer and assists leader, the UEFA Champions League scorer and assists leader, and the most important one, which is also the most talked about by the media and fans all over the world. He has become the only player who has scored more than 60 goals in a single season after Gerd Muller in [-] years.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he did not perform very well in this summer's European Cup. He won the runner-up in the Premier League. Although he also scored 31 goals, he was slightly inferior to Yang Yang's 34 goals. The only convincing one is the Champions League champion.

It is still unclear who will win the game, but the media in the UK has already been divided into two factions.

Some supported Yang Yang, stood up for him, and sang praises; while others supported Cristiano Ronaldo, waved the flag for him.

Behind the media on Fleet Street are the media and fans from the UK, Europe, and even the world.

Everyone is waiting and watching, wanting to see who will get the two supreme awards in December.

Before that, both Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo had to perform better again.
