Chapter 678 Yang Yang is too strong!
Amidst the voices of more than 4 fans, Yang Yang still sat on the visiting team's bench and watched the game silently.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Liverpool did act more proactively, and the team played more threateningly, but Mark Hughes was obviously mentally prepared for the situation he might encounter in the second half, so it was not difficult to deal with it.

Manchester City's defense is still good, but Yang Yang believes that as their physical fitness continues to decline, they will definitely have problems.

It's a matter of time.

After the opening, Liverpool still tried a few times on the left, hoping that Gareth Bale could create a threat, but Zabaleta completely froze the Welshman, which prevented Gareth Bale from getting a good chance.

Even the speed he was most proud of failed to exert its effect.

After trying a few times, seeing that there was no effect, Xavi Alonso decisively chose to shift the target and tried to launch an offensive from the right.

Sitting on the bench, Yang Yang has been paying attention to every move on the court. He clearly sees the problems Gareth Bell is facing now.

Welsh Flying Wing is a player with great potential. He was able to stand out from Southampton's youth training camp not just because he is fast enough. There are not many fast players, which is not very competitive in itself.

In addition to his fast speed, Gareth Bale also has solid basic skills, strong shooting power, and as a left-footer, he has excellent dribbling ability on the left, good footwork in crossing from the left, and free kick skills.

These are his advantages.

In Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale is more of a threat on the left, coupled with a left-back background, so he is used to rushing to the bottom line as soon as he gets the ball, and wants to use his speed advantage to create opportunities.

This is normal thinking, because it is very important for players to give full play to their strengths.

But this is wrong, because the opponent will also be very aware of your advantages and even limit them.

Just like in this game, Mark Hughes obviously defended against this characteristic of Gareth Bell. Zabaleta almost froze the Welshman all over the court, especially in the end, Bell kicked more and more urgently, and the more anxious he became, the more chaotic he became.

Yang Yang too understands the situation Gareth Bell is facing at this moment, and this is why he is so grateful to Van Gaal so far.

Wingers, generally speaking, there are only two ways to create threats, either down the bottom or inside.

For Gareth Bale, who can only use his left foot, cutting in from the left is not his good advantage, and his kick is not smooth, but he can easily be restricted by his opponent if he blindly goes to the bottom.

That's the problem he's facing now.

In fact, after understanding the characteristics of Gareth Bale, it is really easy to defend him.

If Gareth Bale wants to avoid this situation, he has to change his style of play, or like Yang Yang, to make himself more comprehensive, especially his right foot, which must be able to master as soon as possible so that he can cut inside to create threats.

Or he will learn from Robben.

The Dutch winger is very fast, but at the same time has a very good rhythm. This makes him only left-footed. Although the opponent has figured out his usual tricks, he has never been able to completely limit him, because his rhythm is really good.

Yang Yang has been working hard this summer on the several star skills he has learned in the past, and continues to improve himself. He has not learned many new star skills, and if he finds time next, he also wants to learn something about rhythm.

Giggs, Figo, Arjen Robben...these are all wide players with a strong sense of rhythm, and they are all worth learning.

What's more, there is the legendary ancient giant in the super training ground, who is the real master of rhythm.

However, at present, Gareth Bell is obviously unable to do it. He just dribbles the ball again and again, trying to give full play to his speed advantage, but hits the wall again and again.

……

When the game lasted for 5 minutes, Benitez finally couldn't sit still and immediately asked Yang Yang to warm up.

In fact, as early as the halftime break, the Spanish coach wanted to make a substitution, but the halftime substitution must have dealt a psychological blow to Gareth Bell, so Yang Yang proposed to give Gareth Bell some more time.

Young players always need to exercise and improve amidst setbacks.

In the absence of injuries, the substitution in the first half was a kind of humiliation to the starters, and the substitution in the midfield was more like taking the blame. In any case, it was a psychological blow to the players.

That's why Yang Yang hoped that the coaching staff would give Gareth Bell more time.

And he can see very clearly off the court that Manchester City's physical fitness will not last long, so he is sure that he can change the situation after playing, or even reverse the opponent.

Therefore, Benitez agreed to his proposal.

No. 60 minutes, taking advantage of a dead ball, Yang Yang stood on the sidelines and replaced Gareth Bell, giving the Welshman a face. Therefore, when Bell left the field, he hugged Yang Yang and said two words of thanks in succession in his ear.

"Don't take it to heart, you can perform better next time." Yang Yang comforted.

He is now the number one star in the team and has already achieved fame, but Bell is a 19-year-old rookie. He naturally wants to support his younger brother, not to mention that it is just a matter of effort for him.

…………

…………

Yang Yang came off the bench!

This immediately made more than 4 Manchester City fans in the entire city stadium panic.

The head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines was very aware of Yang Yang's threat, and he kept shouting to the players, reminding them to pay attention to closely entangle Yang Yang and not give him the slightest chance.

Zabaleta bears the brunt, but is also the most distressed, because he is not sure and does not know how to defend.

If the distance is close, it is easy to get rid of, but if the distance is long, he is worried that he will seize the opportunity to get the ball.

It's really difficult!

Liverpool is completely different from Manchester City.

After Yang Yang returned to the court, the morale of the team was boosted, and the tactical play also had a backbone.

With 10 minutes left, it is still possible to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent.

Moreover, everyone also felt that Manchester City's physical fitness declined very quickly after the high-intensity pressing and oppression in the previous hour. In the previous game against Chelsea, the reason why they conceded three goals in a row was that their physical fitness could not keep up.

Mark Hughes may learn lessons from this game, but many things will never change.

……

The ball quickly returned to Liverpool's feet.

Harvey Alonso passed Gerrard, Crouch withdrew to the outside of the penalty area to respond, Liverpool launched a strong attack in the middle, attracted attention, and created a gap for Yang Yang on the left.

Yang Yang ran to the left side of the arc top of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Crouch quickly passed the ball to Yang Yang's feet for the first time, allowing him to face Sabaletta one-on-one.

The Argentine played against Yang Yang in the World Youth Championship three years ago. At that time, he was the captain of the Argentine National Youth Team.

After Sun Jihai left the team, Manchester City's right side became Sabaletta's territory.

Yang Yang has been keeping an eye on Zabaleta. Facing Crouch's pass, Yang Yang uses the outside of his right foot to stop to his right, and then adjusts his posture to hit the goal.

Zabaleta had always been defending Gareth Bale before, and his position was always to block his pass from the bottom, but Yang Yang ran to the left side of the arc top area at the front of the penalty area to get the ball, and stopped the ball with his right foot. This first time made him feel a little uncomfortable. When he saw him kicking to hit the goal again, he was shocked and rushed out quickly.

But Yang Yang didn't hit. Instead, he took a small step towards the middle with his right foot, and suddenly kicked the goal directly.

The ball quickly flew past Zabaleta's side and fell to the lower right corner of the goal, and there was an obvious rebound on the ground.

Manchester City goalkeeper Hart's attention was attracted by the actions of Yang Yang and Zabaleta just now. Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly changed his mind, cut in and took a small step, and then suddenly hit the goal, and the angle was very tricky, directly towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Hart flew to make a save, but was eventually slow and the ball crashed into the goal.

One to two!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the first minute of playing, with the first touch of the ball, Yang Yang won a game for Liverpool."

"It's just unbelievable!"

"He is like an omnipotent scoring machine. Manchester City's defensive players are like wooden stakes in front of him, and he easily bypasses him."

After Yang Yang scored a goal, he didn't rush out of the field to celebrate, but quickly ran towards the goal, scooped up the football, and quickly ran to the halfway line, giving high-fives to his teammates along the way.

He has been observing from the sidelines for so long, and he has a clear understanding of the defense of Zabaleta and Manchester City.

…………

…………

Gareth Bale was sitting on the bench, staring at Yang Yang who was running back, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

In any case, he never imagined that Zabaleta, who had caused so much trouble for himself just now, gave him a headache, and even wanted to go crazy and impulsive, was so easily fooled by Yang Yang and even scored a goal.

This is too exciting for him!
Southampton's youth academy has always been the best in England. Since his debut, he has been a leader in the Saints youth academy. He has always believed that his strength and potential are not bad, and he has gone from Saints to Tottenham Hotspur to Liverpool step by step.

But today, in this game at the Manchester City Stadium, he witnessed such a scene that he couldn't believe before anyway, which was really exciting to him.

If he hadn't personally experienced Manchester City's defense just now, if he hadn't really competed with Zabaleta just now, if he only looked at this goal, he would even think, is Zabaleta too bad?Or did he release the water on purpose?
I believe that fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this moment will have this feeling, that is, how could Zabaleta suddenly become so weak and make such a mistake?

But Gareth Bell knew very well that it wasn't that Zabaleta was too weak, but that Yang Yang was too strong!
So strong that he has completely nip in the bud all possible responses from Zabaleta.

This goal will be a big blow to Zabaleta, who performed well throughout the game!
