Chapter 527 It's Finally Perfect! [The Third Update of the Liver Explosion, Please Guarantee the Monthly Ticket at the End of the Month]
"Would you like to replace him?"
Benitez asked with a frown.
Although he didn't say who he was asking at all, the answer didn't need to be guessed at all.
Paco Yesterdam saw Yang Yang's efforts on the left and thought for a while, "That depends on what you think."
"What do you mean?" Benitez didn't quite understand.
"From the head coach's point of view, he must be replaced at this time. After a six-goal lead, there is no point in playing again. Not only the first round, we can even announce that we have advanced to the semi-finals ahead of schedule. More should be physical fitness, and the next game."
One of Benitez's most common sayings is that a manager should have a long-term vision, not only to focus on upcoming games, but also to plan for long-term games, and according to his words, this time is indeed Yang Yang should be replaced.
"But what do I think, you seem to be against it?" Benitez asked strangely.
Yesterdam smiled, "You should see that he really wants a goal."
Benitez nodded, but he didn't understand Yang Yang's persistence.
Five assists, this is enough for him to win applause after the game, even the most critical fans in the world, or media reporters, can no longer criticize him, is this not enough?
Could it be that he already has five-star consecutive assists, and he still wants to score again?
Is that necessary?
"I know that in your thinking, it is really unnecessary. Instead of consuming your physical strength on a dispensable goal, it is better to keep your physical strength and focus on the next game."
Benitez nodded, that's exactly what he thought.
But Yesterdam laughed, "But you have to understand and respect, this is his character."
"Sometimes, some things are really impossible to calculate, as if we can't understand Yang Yang's persistent pursuit and his high requirements for himself, but we also need to understand that it is his character that makes him go. Today, he has achieved what he is today.”
Benitez was silent, he was still a little confused.
"I think you should give it due consideration and respect the player's choice," suggested Yesterdam.
Benitez frowned and thought about it, and was persuaded by the assistant coach.
Although he was reluctant to admit it verbally, he knew in his heart that he was far inferior to Yesterdam in how to deal with players.
In fact, many of the potential conflicts and conflicts between him and the players were resolved with the help of Yesterdam.
Therefore, although he couldn't understand Yang Yang's idea, he still decided to follow Yesterdam's advice.
"Then we can only sacrifice Crouch." Benitez said lightly.
Anyway, this guy has a head injury, let him get down and rest!
...
In the 70th minute, Liverpool replaced Crouch with Pennant.
The English high man scored a goal, performed well, and walked off the field contented.
After Pennant went up, Liverpool's tactics changed. Kuyt was pushed to the center position, and Pennant played on the right.
Obviously, Benitez's intention is to let Pennant, the king of crosses, help Yang Yang create opportunities.
Yang Yang also quickly felt the intention of the coaching staff, and felt warm in his heart.
To be honest, my thoughts are somewhat capricious, even individualistic.
But he really, really wants to score.
In the last game against Arsenal, the team scored four goals and he missed one.
In this game against Rome, the team has scored six goals so far, but he has not scored one.
Of course, he performed well in these two games, but as the team's leading scorer, he failed to score in two consecutive key games, which obviously could not satisfy him.
...
After Pennant played, Benitez also made some adjustments to the team's tactics.
Yang Yang has a wider range of activities, and he can move freely in the frontcourt according to his own thoughts.
Aurelio was given more power to move forward because he had a very good free kick and cross.
The Brazilian left-back not only makes a significant contribution on the offensive end, he can even play the role of a passer in midfield, but he also has an excellent sense of position on the defensive end and has a strong defensive ability.
The only weakness is that his body is often injured. However, after training with Winston Bogard, the Dutch fitness coach specially tailored a training plan for him to strengthen his body muscles and try to help him stay away. Injury.
But it takes a long time to persevere, not overnight.
Pennant came on, Aurelio stepped forward, and with the support of Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano who were behind the midfield, Yang Yang began to patiently search for the goal. Chance.
And when the game reached the seventy-sixth minute, the opportunity finally appeared.
Pennant's cross from the right, Kuyt, who was at the front point, wanted to grab the ball, but fell to the goal together with Qiwu, and the ball fell to the back point.
Yang Yang was almost unguarded, he easily pushed the ball against the ball, and the ball went in!
Simple! direct! And efficient!
But Yang Yang is still very happy!
Not only is he happy, everyone in the team is happy for him, and all the fans in the audience are cheering for him!
Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium, cheering excitedly all the way, celebrating his goal, and finally fell to his knees in front of the stands.
Behind him, the Liverpool players also swarmed up and surrounded him.
The fans in the stands shouted Yang Yang's name in unison.
Five assists, one goal, finally perfect!
...
"This scene reminds me of a scene in a movie." Benitez said suddenly.
Paco Yesterdam was taken aback, do you still watch movies?
Isn't football the only thing in your world?
Are you sure you're watching a movie, not a football game?
But he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would be sprayed to death by Benitez's saliva, so he asked quite well, "Which one?"
"The Shawshank Redemption, after the male protagonist climbed out of the prison, it seems to be the same, but it is not raining now."
Listening to his tone, it seems that Benitez is still very sorry for the lack of rain.
Yesterdam didn't know what kind of reaction he should give.
He has also seen this movie, but he can't think of any resemblance. Could it be the pose of the two?
Can Benitez mention the movie for no reason?
Don't talk about games, even in normal times, he never mentions things other than football, why today...
Suddenly, Yesterdam understood what Benitez meant.
Metamorphosis! newborn!
Just like the hero in The Shawshank Redemption climbed out of prison, Yang Yang also scored the goal he wanted. The common point is that from this moment onwards, both of them will usher in a transformation.
Just as Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in three consecutive games in the Christmas Devil's fixture, everyone felt that he became stronger, Yang Yang is bound to become stronger after this game. , more confident.
He will start to realize that he can dominate the football game!
…………
…………
When Yang Yang scored a goal, Liverpool had a seven-to-zero lead.
At this time, Benitez finally made a second substitution, replacing Yang Yang with Riise.
For this left-back, Benitez has always had a love-hate relationship. He likes Riise's passion and energy, but at the same time, he is very uneasy about his positional sense and defense, so he was once placed in the midfield. go.
After Aurelio joined the team, everyone speculated that the Brazilian left-back was to replace Riise.
But now it seems that the competition between the two on the left is still quite fierce, and neither of them has been able to stabilize the other side.
When Yang Yang walked off the pitch, more than 50,000 Liverpool fans stood up and gave Yang Yang warm applause and cheers. Everyone was shouting his name.
There is no doubt that he is the master of tonight's game and the hero of Liverpool tonight!
Tonight, in this stadium, in this city, and even all over the world, there will be countless fans cheering for Yang Yang.
One goal and five assists, such a perfect report card is not only impeccable, but also convincing!
...
"work hard!"
After Yang Yang hugged Riise, he encouraged his teammates, and when he walked off the court, he hugged Benitez and Yesterdam successively.
He thanked the two coaches for their trust and support.
Benitez still treated it coldly. He has always been happy and angry, but Yesterdam smiled and congratulated Yang Yang, saying that after tonight, even he himself became Yang Yang. hardcore fans.
After Yang Yang came off, Liverpool's offensive still did not subside.
Whether it is a few players who came off the bench or players who were originally on the court, they all showed a strong fighting spirit.
Roma is in Liverpool's attack again and again, scoring again and again, the fighting spirit crumbled step by step.
In the last ten minutes of the game, in addition to defending, they didn't even have the idea of counterattacking.
The Red Wolves with high fighting spirit at the beginning were completely destroyed by Liverpool in this game!
This also made Yang Yang, who was sitting on the sidelines, somewhat sympathetic to his opponent.
In fact, Roma's performance was not bad, but there were some mistakes in the first half. After being caught by Liverpool, they continued to create opportunities and scored goals again and again, which caused Roma to collapse step by step.
If Roma chose to defend decisively after Liverpool scored a goal, or even scored two goals, maybe the outcome of this game would have been completely different.
Sometimes, football games are like this, and a choice may be to go to heaven or to fall into hell.
So, footballs are round.
...
In the final stage of the game, Liverpool created another chance. Kuyt took the ball in the middle and knocked back. Aurelio, who suddenly entered the penalty area, kicked the goal decisively and scored his first Champions League goal of the season. .
And the score of the first-round knockout of the Champions League quarter-finals was finally locked at 8-0!
This not only created the record of the biggest score win in the Champions League this season, but also bound to shock fans and media reporters all over the world.
Especially Yang Yang!
