Chapter 687 Fighter
"In 3 minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool got a free kick in a very good position, but Yang Yang did not take the free kick, but kicked the ball away gently. The referee Howard Webb was also very witty and blew the final whistle."

On the second day of the game, the British Guardian used this opening headline to describe the highlight of last night on the front page.

The Guardian believes that this is a key match that was highly anticipated by fans all over the world before the game, but the process was quite dull. The players generally did not perform at their best, which made people a little drowsy.

Therefore, the Guardian believes that Yang Yang's goal not only saved Liverpool, but also saved this strong matchup in the Premier League.

"Without Yang Yang's goal, this would be a disaster game!"

Does that mean that this game has no gold content?

Nor is it!
The Guardian believes that this is a very un-Premier game, because the coaches of the two teams are full of reason and restraint.

Chelsea knew that Liverpool had a strong offensive and a strong defense, especially Yang Yang, so Scolari developed a tactic of strictly guarding against dead defense and focusing on passing and controlling the ball in the midfield, hoping to take advantage of Deco and Mikel's passing and possession advantages in the midfield.

"The weak offense has seriously dragged down Chelsea's pass and possession style of play, even if Drogba comes back, it cannot be changed."

Liverpool saw that Chelsea's offense was weak, but Benitez didn't dare to take risks easily. Even in the first hour, the Red Army played very well and didn't leave Chelsea with the slightest chance, making it impossible for the Blue Army to make a move.

"The turning point of the game was No. 60 minutes. Benitez made a decision that can be said to change the whole game. He replaced Crouch with Gareth Bale, gave up the commanding height of the frontcourt, and pushed Yang Yang to the top of the striker."

"This is a very unexpected substitution. In the past three seasons, Liverpool has always rotated between four-three-three and four-four-two, and occasionally played four-five-one. But like today, pushing Yang Yang alone to the front is indeed very rare and very sudden."

"But the facts have proved that Yang Yang is at the front alone, and he has gained a great degree of freedom. He can give full play to his physical advantages and run in a wide range without hesitation, making it difficult for Chelsea's defensive players to restrict him."

"If you follow, the defense line will be messed up. If you don't follow, Yang Yang will get a chance. This is a dilemma."

"In the end, it was Yang Yang who pulled to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Gareth Bale, he got rid of Carvalho's defense alone, passed Mikel, passed Terry, and scored a goal with a curve ball from the far corner."

"It was definitely a brilliant improvisation from Benitez."

"But the Spaniard said at the press conference after the game that all of this was a strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game."

"Benitez said, 'We have already made a plan before the game, and we even know very well the problems we will encounter in the away game and the ways to deal with them, including pushing Yang Yang to the front line. This is a very interesting attempt, and Yang Yang's comprehensiveness also makes the attempt have a very high success rate.'"

The Guardian ridiculed that Benitez was being stubborn. It was obviously an on-the-spot command, but he made a sudden decision, but insisted that it was planned before the game. This was obviously to avoid the outside world thinking that Liverpool won by accident.

But the Guardian believes that this is unnecessary, because Liverpool did perform very tenaciously in this game.

"The combination of Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano is not good at passing and controlling the ball. Facing the midfield composed of Lampard, Deco and Mikel, Liverpool will inevitably be at a disadvantage in passing and controlling the ball. This is normal."

"However, Liverpool performed very tightly throughout the game, and their defense organization was quite rigorous. They did not give Chelsea the slightest chance. What is more important is the belief that this team will win in the game and the admirable fighting spirit."

"Yang Yang, Daniel Agger, Mascherano, Skrtel, Harvey Alonso, Gerrard, Carragher, Reina, Kevin Dirk... From these players, we can see the spiritual power of Liverpool, which deeply affects everyone in this team."

"Some people think that this team was lucky to win this game and scored the finale goal, but if you have watched the Champions League final in [-], and watched them reverse Manchester City with four goals after conceding two goals in a row, it is not difficult to find that it is not surprising that Liverpool won, because this is the real Liverpool!"

The Guardian also stated that Yang Yang is Liverpool's most valuable asset, not just because he can score goals on the pitch.

"We cannot deny that Yang Yang is the world's number one top scorer and attacker, which is an inestimable asset for any team, but for Liverpool, Yang Yang is a world-leading superstar who perfectly fits the team's spiritual strength."

"Look at how he is still running without hesitation in the final stage of the game, look at the picture of him stopping the ball with difficulty under the pressure of Terry, who is taller and stronger than himself, and look at his tenacious tenacity that refused to fall when Carvalho put his elbow on his neck and grabbed his ear with his hands..."

"He was born to play for Liverpool, he was born to be that contagious fighter!"

In the end, the Guardian believes that whether it is a [-]-[-] reversal of Manchester City or today's finale goal defeating Chelsea, Liverpool has shown the temperament that a strong team should have. Maintaining the current spirit, the team will achieve a satisfactory result this season.

……

The Times also reported the game on the front page.

They believe that since Benitez coached Liverpool, he has gone through three stages.

The first is the basic period. This was before Yang Yang joined. Even though Liverpool had reversed AC Milan at that time, it still gave people the feeling that it was not a top European team. On the contrary, that Liverpool team did not look strong, especially in offense.

Then came the promotion period, which was marked by Yang Yang’s joining Liverpool, which represented the overall improvement of Liverpool. Benitez’s team began to get better and better. With a top superstar who can provide a stable [-] to [-] goals every year, Benitez has enough ability to create different tactics and adapt to different opponents.

The last is the maturity period. Since the beginning of this season, Liverpool's entire performance has undergone a significant transformation.

"In the past two years, a Champions League champion and a Premier League champion have greatly improved the psychological quality of Liverpool players, and the burden that was originally placed on the team has also been completely released. This season, Liverpool has obviously played more stable, more mature, and has a higher psychological quality."

"So far, Liverpool has reversed their opponents in five games successively. It can be called the reverse king of the Premier League and even Europe, and this represents that Liverpool's psychological quality is fully mature and very stable."

The Times believes that the game against Chelsea is also a very good proof, because even in the final stage of the game, at No. 90 minutes, Liverpool still played very methodically and did not show any signs of being too impatient. In the end, Yang Yang's goal defeated Chelsea.

"Benitez pushed Yang Yang to the front line. This should have been a helpless move, but unexpectedly, it completely liberated Yang Yang, allowing him to devote himself to the offense, and his comprehensiveness allowed him to cope with any situation in the frontcourt."

"If you are a fan watching the game, you will probably feel that Yang Yang's tactical role is even more obvious than that of Crouch. After he went up, he directly suppressed the defense of Terry and Carvalho."

Scolari also said in an interview with the media after the game that Yang Yang completely changed the trend of the game after being put on the front line.

"From that moment on we started to lose control of the game because Liverpool put the most disturbing weapon in our box and it kept us safe at all times."

The Times stated that this is undoubtedly the highest evaluation given by the opposing coach.

Of course, Scolari once again complained about Chelsea's signings, nothing more than that he couldn't get the players he wanted.

Benitez also praised Yang Yang after the game, "Everyone in the team worked very hard, and every player was full of motivation in the competition, but Yang Yang is different. He is a key player and can change a game. For defenders, he is a very deadly threat.

"In football games, there are some tasks that other players cannot complete, but Yang Yang can. This is what makes him the most distinctive. Being able to have such players is the most proud thing for all teams and all coaches."

……

In addition to the media close to Liverpool such as the Guardian, The Times and the Daily Telegraph, the media and fans from all over the UK and even the world are reporting on this strong matchup.

Relying on this finale goal, Yang Yang once again appeared on the headlines of major newspapers. Everyone believed that he was still the number one favorite for this year's World Footballer and European Ballon d'Or.

But there are also many media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. As Cristiano Ronaldo expected, they use Yang Yang's refusal to fall to the ground under Carvalho's entanglement to satirize Ronaldinho's diving against Everton, and then draw conclusions.

"Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score because he deliberately fell on his way!"

This obviously malicious report quickly caused a firefight among the media.

It's going to be November soon, it's going to be December soon.

The two Supreme Awards will soon be unveiled, and the last month will be the most intense competition between the two and the most lively media hype. Judging from the current situation, Yang Yang obviously has the upper hand, and the voice is higher.

Because after the new season, he will obviously perform better.
