Chapter 513 Ferguson, Accept Your Fate! [The First Update of the Liver Explosion, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]
Another Saturday noon game!
Liverpool players have forgotten that this is the first noon game of the season.
The only thing that is still remembered is that when Benitez just got the schedule before the season, he directly fired at the FA, criticizing the FA for taking care of the other three strong teams and targeting Liverpool specifically.
Because, Liverpool's games at noon are the sum of the other three Premier League teams combined.
No one likes to play at noon, because the state is not good to adjust.
To give the simplest example, everyone knows that on the game day of professional players, everything, including eating, drinking, sleeping, and eating must have a certain time limit. The purpose is to ensure that players can bring out the best during the game. state.
If the game is in the afternoon or evening, that's fine, but if it's in the middle of the day, it's a hassle.
As a rule, the last tactical meeting is held before the game, and the meal time is much earlier to ensure that the food is digested almost during the game, and the players are at the most favorable point for the game.
Therefore, to do so many things, players need to get up earlier than usual, and there is not enough guarantee for rest time.
This is only part of the adjustment of the player's state, there are many other aspects.
All the work of a football club basically revolves around the game.
Does that mean there is no benefit to playing at noon?
Neither.
Because of the time difference, games at noon are often catered to fans in Asia.
I don't know if it's because Yang Yang joined Liverpool. Anyway, the Red Army has played a lot more games at noon this season.
And this double red meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United at home was still scheduled until noon.
…………
…………
Although Liverpool have played many noon games this season, they still feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, Manchester United are also not much better as opponents.
From the beginning of the game, both sides played fiercely.
This is a consistent feature of the Double Red Club. The centuries-old feud between Liverpool and Manchester United is often resolved through games.
The players on both sides fought fiercely. From the very beginning of the game, the game entered a bloody hand-to-hand battle. They both played without reservation and fought against each other. However, the players on both sides were not very good, and they both missed a lot of opportunities. .
Liverpool are playing at home. Benitez's intention was to control the midfield, but there was a problem.
United knew Liverpool too well, so Benitez dragged Xavi Alonso to the back and Mohamed Sissoko moved forward, akin to a central midfielder.
In this position, it is inevitable that Sissoko will have more opportunities to get and play the ball.
But the problem is precisely here. Compared with Gerrard and Xavi Alonso, Sissoko's interception ability is indeed very good, and his effect is also very huge, but his ability to pass and control the ball is too poor, meaningless pass Too many ball turnovers.
Manchester United was in poor condition first, and secondly, it was true that they could not compete in the midfield, but they attacked Liverpool's midfielder's mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, and created several threatening offensives.
On the contrary, Liverpool had the advantage, but could not create a threat, and the midfield ball and organization were a bit chaotic.
In the first half, Liverpool's only bright spot was Yang Yang's several personal breakthroughs and speed, but Ferguson also significantly strengthened his restrictions on Yang Yang, and Gary Neville was even more of a formidable enemy to him and dared not have it. Slightly slack.
In the end, the first half ended in a 0-0.
The game was more than tragic, but not so exciting, and no one was able to score.
But overall, Liverpool still have the upper hand.
...
At half-time, Benitez was obviously aware of the problem and made adjustments immediately.
The team's style of play has returned to the configuration of the double midfielder. Harvey Alonso is positioned more forward. Sissoko reduces the number of balls and balls, and focuses on defending, organizing and passing the ball to Harvey Alonso. and Gerald.
This adjustment immediately activated Liverpool's frontcourt offensive.
Just one minute into the second half, Liverpool produced a very threatening attack.
Kuyt made a cross from the right, Ferdinand headed the ball to make a clearance, but Gerrard followed up and shot directly with his left foot.
The ball rubbed the upper left corner out of the bottom line, causing Manchester United to break out in a cold sweat.
Just a minute later, Gerrard sent a ball behind him. Yang Yang used his speed to force Gary Neville away. After breaking through to the bottom line, he made a low pass.
Peter Crouch scored a low shot from eight meters in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Liverpool!
One to zero!
This goal completely broke the deadlock on the field.
Subsequently, Liverpool launched a wave of offensive against Manchester United.
The centuries-old feud made everyone in Liverpool, including the more than 50,000 fans in the stands, almost crazy, and they all played with passion.
Liverpool, who played crazy, almost suppressed Manchester United in the half.
Ferguson quickly made a substitution, and Sylvester replaced Evra to strengthen the left-sided defense.
Liverpool replaced Sissoko with Aurelio to strengthen midfield control and play.
You come and go between the two sides, the more you kick, the more fierce you are, and gradually both become hot-headed.
First, Carragher fouled a Manchester United player when he was grabbing the ball with Rooney, causing Rooney to bleed from his right leg and was forced to go off. Carragher also received a yellow card.
Afterwards, Yang Yang got another chance against offside and went straight behind the team. Gary Neville committed a tactical foul, but only got a yellow card.
Then, Saha broke through Carragher with the ball, and both fell in the penalty area with Daniel Agger. The referee did not give a penalty.
The competition between you and me has caused the temperature at Anfield to rise sharply.
The one-goal gap gave both sides hope.
Manchester United want to tie, or even reverse, to maintain their lead over Liverpool.
But the Reds haven't won a league title in decades, and everyone is hungry for victory, wanting to win this game and tie Manchester United's points.
The game became more and more tense and tragic, and even Yang Yang, who had always been calm and calm, was somewhat affected.
Until the 86th minute, Saha fouled Carragher and the referee blew the whistle.
But in this case, Scholes did not stop his feet and punched Xavi Alonso who was holding the ball.
The referee showed no mercy and sent Scholes off the court with a red card.
Xavi Alonso was uninjured, but he was punched and a black foot in the leg, which left him a little shattered.
The gunpowder smell of the game is already strong enough to explode at any time.
Either you die or I die!
This is definitely the most tragic game Yang Yang has experienced so far this season.
The two sides not only have a centuries-old feud, but also a hunger for league titles.
Manchester United haven't won the Premier League title for three years, and Liverpool have been for decades. Everyone is full of desire for the championship.
The game resumed and Liverpool continued their offensive.
Even though they have a one-goal lead, the Red Army is still not satisfied, and they still try to continue to expand the score.
Yang Yang is also very tired, but he is still constantly looking for opportunities.
Two minutes later, Liverpool had another chance on the right.
After Kuyt got the ball, he threw off Sylvester and made a cross from the right.
In the middle in front of Manchester United, Crouch, a giant with a height of more than two meters, attracted the attention of Ferdinand and Vidic, the two central defenders, but the English high-ranking man blocked Manchester United's two central defenders with his body when they were fighting. Let the ball slip past his side.
In an instant, everyone was taken aback.
But then they noticed.
Behind Crouch, a figure wearing a Liverpool red jersey was rushing into the penalty area.
"Yang Yang! It's Yang Yang!!!"
The audience exclaimed!
Yang Yang chased after him at a very fast speed, judging where the ball was going to fall, kicked his legs hard, and the whole person flew forward and pushed it forward.
Jump to the top!
At this moment, time seems to be very slow.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief.
The speed of Yang Yang's sprint just now is too fast, which reflects the success that he has brought about by insisting on strength training in the past few years.
His explosiveness and speed are far faster than when he debuted at Ajax.
And this leap turned him into a glider, flying over the turf at Anfield.
Under the gaze of more than 50,000 fans, he firmly hit the ball that Crouch deliberately missed.
The ball changed direction and crashed into the bottom left corner of United's goal.
After Van der Sar reacted, the ball was already in before he even had time to make a save!
...
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
"Wonderful diving to the top!"
"Yang Yang! The great Yang Yang!!"
"The final word!"
"This ball is too crucial!"
"Two to zero!"
"Manchester United didn't have any chance, Yang Yang killed the game!"
"Ferguson, accept your fate!"
...
The live commentator at Anfield Stadium made a frantic roar!
All the fans in the entire stadium rushed out of their seats frantically, shouting frantically, calling out Yang Yang's name frantically.
Yang Yang fell to the ground, patted the turf excitedly, and laughed loudly.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
No matter who it is, being crushed by a two-meter-tall giant will not be able to laugh at all.
Not to mention, above the giants, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Kuyt, Aurelio...
Even the three big men of Sissoko, Carragher and Daniel Agger are here...
...
"Haha, God, Yang Yang is enjoying himself very much now!"
"This kind of treatment is really something we can't imagine, haha, Yang, enjoy it slowly!"
The fans in the audience also burst into laughter for fear that the world would not be in chaos.
Only the Manchester United players all bowed their heads and looked extremely frustrated.
Ferguson is also full of depression, because his players' performance today is really not ideal.
In particular, Cristiano Ronaldo basically failed to make threats on the right, and his state seemed very low.
On the pitch, the Portuguese were also full of grief and anger at this moment.
He knew that his state was not good, but he was helpless, so he could only watch Yang Yang celebrate.
