Chapter 626 I Hurt Another One

Facts have proved that when the rhythm of the game is controlled by Liverpool, Inter Milan's players have never been able to adapt.

After the first ten minutes of rushing offense and a sharp counterattack by Yang Yang, Inter Milan's players were full of fears of Liverpool's offense, and could no longer engage in rushing offense as boldly as they did at the opening.

On the other hand, Liverpool steadily pressed the overall formation.

Sitting on the back with double midfielders and pressing forward in the formation, this is what Liverpool has always been good at.

Crouch and Kuyt also returned to the forward line, while Yang Yang returned to his accustomed left.

This is also Benitez's pre-match arrangement, he hopes to use Yang Yang to suppress Maicon.

Liverpool's strongest weapon suppresses Inter Milan's strongest attacking point, and Benitez's strategy is also very targeted.

If Maicon chooses to attack forward, then Liverpool will have more chances on the left. If Maicon does not press up, Inter Milan lacks a wide wing, and the attacking threat will be greatly reduced. Liverpool will be easier to defend. Rerio can get more into the offense.

The two central defenders maintained a high defensive strategy, and the double midfielders cooperated to protect them. The two defensive lines made it difficult for Inter Milan's double center forwards and Stankovic to find space between the two lines in Liverpool's midfield and backcourt.

If there is no space, there will be no short-pass penetration, and without short-pass penetration, there will be only long-passes.

...

Yang Yang didn't know that Bergomi complained about Inter Milan's too many long balls when he was explaining. He just realized that the team's tactics were working. Said to be invincible.

Especially in the Champions League knockout stage, his tactical pertinence is too strong.

This is not the feeling of Yang Yang alone, but the feeling of everyone in the Liverpool dressing room.

So, when the team pressed forward steadily and stabilized the situation, they controlled the rhythm and made Inter Milan play very awkward, because they are not used to playing at this rhythm, especially when they play long balls.

Yang Yang and the Liverpool players did not hesitate too much. They implemented the team's tactics according to Benitez's arrangement.

Benitez gave Yang Yang the task of cruising on the left, waiting for opportunities to find opportunities.

Due to the pressure of the overall formation, the two full-backs, especially the left-back Aurelio, will be closer to the frontcourt, and at the moment from defense to attack, he can rush to the frontcourt faster.

In the 28th minute, Liverpool's right attack failed to make a threat and passed it to Crouch, who knocked back after taking the ball.

Gerrard scored the ball to the left, and Aurelio quickly got the ball forward along the left, and took advantage of the situation.

Yang Yang seized the opportunity, quickly leaned towards the middle road, and gave way to the side road.

Seeing this scene, Maicon had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he was at Ajax, he and Yang Yang often played this kind of cooperation. One set the edge and the other cut inside. The attacking style of the two always made the opponent tired.

It's just that now, Yang Yang's partner has been replaced by Aurelio. Although Aurelio's speed is slower, he is still quite threatening, while Inter Milan's right flank does not have an attacker like Yang Yang.

Thoughts flashed through Maicon's mind, but he made a quick decision.

Since Yang Yang was right in the middle of the defense zone of Maicon, Cordoba and Zanetti, the nearest Maicon chose to grab Aurelio and left Yang Yang to Zanetti and Cordoba.

There was no accident. As soon as Maicon stepped up to grab the ball, Aurelio quickly scored the ball and passed it to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang stopped the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area and faced Cordoba and Zanetti directly. It seemed that he would continue to attack directly with one-twos, but this time the two veterans were obviously prepared. Like an enemy.

Suddenly, Yang Yang started and dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left. It was obvious that he wanted to use his speed to forcibly pass Cordoba, but Cordoba was not slow and quickly turned around to follow.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly made an emergency stop and made a gesture to buckle inward.

Cordoba was taken aback and stopped quickly, for fear that he would be thrown away by Yang Yang accidentally, just like Materazzi just now.

As soon as he stopped, Yang Yang suddenly dunked the ball again, kicked his left foot forward, and suddenly accelerated towards the baseline.

The Inter Milan central defender is not tall and short, but very flexible, fast, and very focused. At this time, he is also engrossed in defense. Yang Yang changes the direction continuously, and he also changes direction with the continuous speed change, without any trace of it. He was thrown half a step away by Yang Yang.

Yang Yang originally wanted to use the speed to forcibly create a gap. Even if he didn't have a chance to kick up directly, he could pass to the middle and back, because he saw that Crouch and Kuyt had already come up.

Unexpectedly, Cordoba's defense turned out to be so sticky.

In the end, there was really no other way, Yang Yang could only hurriedly kicked and crossed, but the ball hit Cordoba's outstretched leg, popped the bottom line, and turned into a corner kick for Liverpool.

Yang Yang also rushed out of the stadium and almost collided with the billboard on the sidelines.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence, Cordoba ranked first among Ronaldo's most difficult defenders.

Yang Yang walked back with a wry smile, he felt that he was really in trouble today.

The state itself is not particularly good, but the most important thing is Cordoba's defense, which is really very sticky, which is terrible.

He has really rarely encountered such a midfielder who is not tall, but has such a fast speed and explosiveness, especially when he changed direction twice in a row just now, and he was not able to shake him. It was really helpless. .

But when Yang Yang turned around angrily and walked back, he found that Inter Milan's central defender Cordoba was still lying in front of the bottom line of the penalty area, looking very painful.

...

"Dangerous!"

"When Cordoba tried his best to make the final blocking action, he really did his best to block Yang Yang's attack, but it seemed that he himself was affected a little bit. Fall to the ground."

"The Norwegian referee signaled to Inter Milan's team doctor to enter the field quickly."

"So far in this game, Cordoba has performed quite well, but he is already 31 years old. When defending Yang Yang just now, he kept changing gears and changing directions, but the last one blocked Seems to have strained his leg."

"It's very possible." Bergomi was obviously worried, "At the age of 31, he can't compare with a young player like Yang Yang, and Cordoba is really working too hard. So far this season, he has almost played Full of all games."

"Yang Yang's personal ability is indeed quite outstanding." Rossi said, "The continuous speed change just now reminded me of Ronaldo at his peak, and if I remember correctly, Yang Yang doesn't seem to be the first time he swayed. Injuries defensive players."

"Yes." Vialli echoed, "In my impression, he has had the experience of shaking defenders twice, and the opponents are Real Madrid, it is really troublesome to defend his type of player, Yang Yang, Robben, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, players of their type are hard to guard."

...

Yang Yang walked back to the court full of apologetics, stood on the periphery of the Inter Milan players, looked at Cordoba who fell to the ground, and still felt a little uneasy. No physical contact.

But in the end, Cordoba was injured while defending him.

Inter Milan's team doctor quickly carried Cordoba out of the field, obviously this time the injury was not minor.

Maicon came over and patted Yang Yang's shoulder with a wry smile.

He knew Yang Yang very well, and from his worried appearance, he knew that Yang Yang was caring about Cordoba.

But that's what professional footballers are like, injuries are the norm, and Cordoba has always played hard.

…………

…………

Inter Milan quickly replaced Cordoba with Qiwu.

Obviously, the Inter Milan central defender is seriously injured.

But the football game still has to go on.

Although Yang Yang felt a little guilty, he didn't ask any questions.

After Qiu played, Materazzi was moved to the right, replacing Cordoba's position.

When Yang Yang was looking at Materazzi, the Italian central defender was also looking at him.

For Materazzi, Yang Yang really doesn't have any special feeling, but because of Zidane's head on Materazzi in the World Cup final, Yang Yang doesn't have much affection for Materazzi because of his relationship with Zidane Very good, and he is an offensive player, and the least favorite thing is the small gestures and slobber of the defensive players.

Materazzi's state is obviously not good in this game, because he suffered a serious injury this summer, rested for seven months, and his state has not been ideal since his comeback.

But Inter Milan's central defender has a characteristic, that is, the height is not very good.

Crouch is more than two meters tall, not to mention Cordoba. Burdisso, Qiu and Samuel are obviously unable to stop this tall English man. Only Materazzi has such a height and body. Quality.

Although Materazzi is tall and strong, speed and turns are his weaknesses, and he is a left-footed player.

After seeing Inter Milan's adjustment, Benitez on the sidelines also immediately made arrangements to signal Yang Yang to use his speed to attack Materazzi's side, and at the same time let Aurelio move forward to help Yang Yang.

...

After the adjustment, Liverpool's overall advantage quickly came into play.

Yang Yang started to get opportunities frequently on the left.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Crouch headed the ball to the left, Yang Yang and Materazzi fought for the second spot at the same time, but Yang Yang was faster and shoved the ball forward.

But when Yang Yang was about to rush forward, suddenly his jersey was pulled hard behind him, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The Norwegian referee blew his whistle quickly, raised his placard, and received a yellow card.

Materazzi complained endlessly towards the referee, apparently saying that he did not pull the opponent, but Yang Yang himself slipped, but the referee did not accept his explanation.

"Materazzi should still properly restrain his actions now."

"Liverpool is now very clear that they want to play Yang Yang, and Mancini should make some adjustments."

"Yang Yang will be more and more threatening on this side."

"Counting stoppage time in the first half, there should be five or six minutes left. Inter Milan still needs to be steady."
