Chapter 722 Reversal King

At noon on March [-], Old Trafford, Manchester.

In the 203rd minute of the game, Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez retreated to take the ball, then suddenly passed the ball directly behind Liverpool's defense and sent the ball into the Liverpool penalty area. South Korean star Park Ji-sung quickly inserted it.

Liverpool goalkeeper Reina abandoned the goal and made a mistake in his judgment. He was half a beat too late. After being caught up by Park Ji-sung, he couldn't stop and knocked down the Manchester United player, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

"Oh, Rainer!"

"Penalty kick! The referee Willy awarded a penalty kick without hesitation."

"This is an undisputed penalty. Reina did trip Park Ji-sung when he lost possession of the ball."

"The Spanish goalkeeper justified that he couldn't hold back the charge, but anyway, a stumble is a stumble."

"Manchester United played very proactively at the beginning of the game. Although they failed to create threats several times, this time they forced Liverpool to make mistakes. This has to be said to be a very favorable situation."

The whole Old Trafford stadium was boiling.

All the Red Devils fans were rejoicing, obviously couldn't be happier with the start of the game.

In the first 20 minutes or so, Manchester United took the initiative to gain a certain advantage, and now they have got a penalty kick. This will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for Manchester United to break the deadlock on the field and control their own destiny.

After the Manchester United players discussed it, it was Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo who finally stood in front of the penalty spot.

…………

…………

Cristiano Ronaldo stood twelve yards away, his eyes fixed on Liverpool's goal ahead.

He could see that Spanish goalkeeper Reina was a little nervous.

So far this season, the Portuguese has scored twelve goals in the Premier League. For him, this report card is definitely seriously unqualified. Everyone believes that after experiencing the peak of last season, he has fallen rapidly, and may even be like other superstars.

On the court, Manchester United also suffered successive setbacks. The league fell behind Liverpool by a large margin. In the previous two double-red games, Manchester United returned with hatred, and lost a League Cup championship. This is a blow to the Portuguese.

Yang Yang took this opportunity to further consolidate his title of No.1 in world football.

There is still a chance in the league, but the premise is that Manchester United must win this matchup, kill Liverpool, and make a good start for the next league reversal, the Champions League and the FA Cup, and show off their momentum.

Therefore, Manchester United played very proactively from the beginning of this game and performed quite well.

The penalty was more like a reward for Manchester United's first twenty minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo has not performed well this season, and his statistics are far behind Yang Yang. Even in terms of league goals, Yang Yang has scored 33 goals so far, far surpassing the Portuguese.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the game is won, as long as Ronaldinho leads Manchester United to defeat the opponent, then everything is fine.

Thinking of this, Xiao Luo exhaled heavily, reached out to wipe the sweat from his nose, and quickly ran forward.

Only a bang was heard at the scene, and the Portuguese quickly shot the ball placed at the twelve yard point, towards the half-high ball on the left side of the goal, with excellent strength and angle.

Liverpool goalkeeper Reina judged the right direction, but he chose to play the ball on the ground, but failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Penalty scored! Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Manchester United!"

"One to zero! Manchester United's start is pretty good!"

After Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty, he didn't even rush out of the pitch to celebrate. Instead, he chose to half-kneel in the Liverpool penalty area, clenched his fists and cheered, celebrating his No. 13 Premier League goal this season.

Manchester United players also gathered around to celebrate the goal with him.

"Today is Ronaldinho's 1 starts in the Premier League, and he used a penalty kick to open the door for his own game. At the same time, this is also Manchester United's 7 home goals in the Premier League."

"It can be said that this goal is still very commemorative."

"Liverpool should now regroup, stabilize their position as soon as possible, and show a better performance."

"This is Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard, and the team's number one star Yang Yang, both of them are encouraging their teammates."

"Benitez's team formation in this game is still very questionable. He somewhat unexpectedly arranged for Yang Yang to play as a single forward, which made Yang Yang fall into the double-team of Ferdinand and Vidic from the beginning."

"As an attacker with excellent speed and technique, known for his dribbling and scoring ability, it is quite disadvantageous to be forced into a struggle with tall and strong central defenders."

"Perhaps, Benitez and Yang Yang miss Crouch very much now."

…………

…………

In this game, Liverpool's start was really boring.

But the reason is not because Yang Yang played in the middle instead of Crouch, but because Benitez adjusted his tactical play before the game, and the players need a little time to adapt and adapt to this.

A very important point is that there have been some adjustments to Manchester United's pressing defense.

Benitez's strategy is very simple, which is to focus on the side of O'Shea and Ferdinand, and relax the side of Vidic and Evra, especially against Vidic, Yang Yang basically does not go to press.

Kurit's position also retreated more, which is tantamount to changing direction and encouraging Evra to advance and participate in the attack.

And once the ball reached Vidic's feet, Liverpool basically chose to retreat instead of pressing him.

This is Benitez's strategy. He wants to force Manchester United to transfer more balls to Vidic's feet through his pressing and pressing, and through appropriate retracement and non-pressing of Vidic, lure Manchester United's left center back to take the ball forward.

This is not difficult to understand, because Vidic does not have a suitable line for the ball, and there is enough room for dribbling the ball in front, he will definitely dribble forward, and once Vidic dribbles forward, Evra, who is keen on forward assists, will definitely follow the edge to participate in the attack, and Manchester United's left defense will expose the gap behind.

Benitez's tactical concept is very clear, and the idea is also very good, but the players need a little time to adjust when executing it.

The football emperor Beckenbauer once said that the strongest is often the weakest.

Vidic is the strongest point of Manchester United's defense, but as long as a situation unfavorable to him is created, he will become the weakest point of Manchester United's defense. Benitez's purpose is to create such a situation.

……

In the previous 20 minutes, Liverpool has been trying to find opportunities.

Especially after conceding a goal, Manchester United stepped up their offensive efforts. Ferguson's team obviously still wanted to go all out and kill Liverpool in one go at their home court.

Yang Yang, Gerrard, and other Liverpool players did not feel anxious or nervous after conceding a goal first.

Reversal king, this is a title given to Liverpool by the media and fans all over the world, because the Red Army has the most reversals in European football this season, which also gives Liverpool a very rich experience in playing when they are behind.

Manchester United pressed heavily, and Liverpool retreated appropriately, waiting patiently for the opportunity.

Yang Yang, as Benitez arranged, when Ferdinand got the ball, he went up to press, and when Vidic got the ball, he chose to retreat, luring the Serbian central defender to take the ball forward.

Outsiders don't know Liverpool's plans at all, and maybe even Ferguson himself didn't see the clues.

Everyone, including the fans and commentators at the scene, could only see that Manchester United was gradually gaining the upper hand, while Liverpool was losing ground. Rooney took a shot first, and then Tevez kicked him.

But when the game was about to enter 10 minutes, Manchester United's midfielder was completely pressed near the center line, and Liverpool was likely to be pressed into the half-court. Ferdinand passed the ball forward, and Anderson made a mistake when he stopped the ball.

Gerrard quickly stepped forward to steal successfully and stabbed the ball to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang stopped the ball and turned around, started quickly, and played a quick counterattack.

Gareth Bale quickly inserted on the left, attracting Ferdinand's attention, while Yang Yang took the ball to the center knowingly, facing Vidic directly, and the speed of the two was getting faster and faster.

Dirk Dirk on the right also chased all the way without the ball, diagonally inserting into the penalty area from the right.

When Ferdinand was distracted by Gareth Bale on the left, when Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United, Vidic finally couldn't help but choose to block it.

Because he knew very well that if he went any further, he would be within Yang Yang's range.

Evra chose to go inside. He wanted to escort Vidic because he was very worried. Yang Yang's one-on-one ability is obvious to all. God knows if he will use his speed to forcibly break through Vidic.

And Yang Yang is just waiting for Evra!

If the French left-back still chooses to keep up with Dirk, Yang Yang will be one-on-one and use his speed to force a breakthrough, but if Evra chooses to approach Vidic and double-team Yang Yang, then Yang Yang will choose to pass the ball.

Therefore, before Vidic and Evra had time to complete the double-team, Yang Yang passed the ball into the penalty area from the corner between the two.

The unguarded Dirk Driven all the way forward, quickly caught up.

The wonderful pass sent by Yang Yang was very comfortable, as if it was passed to his step point, and after he rushed up without reducing his speed, after stepping on his left foot firmly, he hit his right foot directly!

Goalkeeper Van der Sar blocked most of the shooting angles, but Dirk Dirk is a player who can compete with Yang Yang for the top scorer in the Eredivisie. His shooting skills are quite solid, and he directly lobbed a shot from the far corner to resolve Van der Sar's position.

The ball went over Van der Sar's hand and hit the left side of the goal!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Liverpool equalized!"

"In less than 10 minutes, Liverpool tied the score, one to one, and the two sides returned to the same starting line!"

"Yang Yang's assist, Kevin Dirk's goal, Liverpool's counterattack this time is really too sharp!"

"The goal came very suddenly, this is Liverpool!"

"This is Yang Yang!"
