Chapter 670 How Cool!

beep!

With the clear whistle of the referee, Xavi Alonso reluctantly stopped.

Turning around, he saw Berbatov lying on the ground and stepped back with a wry smile.

The Bulgarian center took his teammate's hand and got up from the ground.

He wanted to break through Xavi Alonso with the ball just now, but he didn't expect the Spanish midfielder, known for his organization and passing ability, to be so tenacious. right.

Fortunately, Berbatov was not stupid, and fell to the ground following a small move by Harvey Alonso.

Manchester United got a free kick in the frontcourt.

This is not a lie, because Xavi Alonso really has a small move.

Just a good offensive opportunity to miss.

...

Xavi Alonso stepped back into the box and was involved in setting up the wall.

As the team's late midfielder, but also the team's playmaker, he began to feel the changes in United's tactics in the first and second halves, and some new problems that came with it.

Ferguson started with a four-three-three formation. Carrick was behind in the midfield, and Scholes and Anderson were in the front. However, neither of these two players tended to be defensive, but offensive players, and their positions were somewhat dependent. To the sides, Rooney and Tevez are actively retreating and participating in midfield defense.

In theory, there is no problem with this play.

This is why, although Liverpool's offense played well in the first half, it was difficult to create excellent scoring opportunities. Ferguson's understanding of defensive tactics was really good.

Of course, Manchester United's tactics in the first half worked, thanks to Benayoun's lack of excitement on the right. If Crouch was there and Kuyt went to the right to fly with Yang Yang on both sides, Manchester United couldn't stop Liverpool's attack at all.

But anyway, in the first half, Liverpool had the advantage, but Manchester United were evenly matched.

In the second half, I don't know why, Ferguson replaced Carrick, replaced Giggs, and played four-four-two. Giggs played left midfielder and Rooney played right midfielder. This was not only for attack, but also for defense. Liverpool's sidewalk.

But then a new problem has arisen, that is, the middle lane is too thin, especially in the frontier of the penalty area.

After Carrick's procrastination, it didn't look like much, but it was actually crucial to Manchester United's defense.

Therefore, Benitez quickly saw the clue, let Liverpool start to make a fuss from both sides, let Gareth Barry, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano take turns to create threats, that is, to fight Manchester United's mid lane.

Xavi Alonso understands that Liverpool have to work harder to score.

He wanted to atone for his guilt, because the goal he conceded at the start of the first half had something to do with his dislocation.

Fortunately, Yang Yang relied on his own strength and used his personal performance to forcibly suppress Manchester United and bring Liverpool back to normal. This is not only helping Liverpool, but also helping Xavi Alonso.

For this, the Spanish midfielder is grateful.

But he still wants to atone for his crimes, scoring goals or assists, whatever.

Thinking of this, Xavi Alonso looked at Benayoun, who also had a human wall next to him.

He felt that the Israelis were still not active enough, not excited enough.

…………

…………

Anderson took the free kick, but hit the wall directly.

Manchester United wanted to grab a hand, but Liverpool continuously passed it to the left flank and handed it to Aurelio, who quickly passed to Yang Yang in front.

With Yang Yang's performance in today's game, Wes Brown alone can't hold it.

Yang Yang was not reluctant to fight, he stopped just after the midline, passed the ball back, and reorganized.

Manchester United's defensive transition speed is still very fast.

Liverpool had three defensive midfielders in this game, and the ball path was very simple, and it suddenly shifted from the left to the right.

After Xavi Alonso got the ball, he chose to stop forward and rushed up with the ball himself.

Mascherano understood it, and immediately moved to the right to fill the gap after Xavi Alonso went up. Gareth Barry also moved closer to the middle, still with a double midfielder configuration.

Xavi Alonso dribbled the ball across the halfway line, glanced at Benayoun on the right, and passed the ball quickly.

The two had a tacit understanding. The Israelis stopped the ball and took him to the middle, but Evra clung to him. Benayoun chose to pass to Kuyt, who was retreating, but Ferdinand was behind him, and the Dutch striker did not. Chance, the first kick back to Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso ran to the neutral position, stopped, looked up at the front, quickly kicked the ball over the top, sent the ball directly behind Vidic, and fell into the penalty area.

Yang Yang had long been ambushed in the area between Wes Brown and Vidic. As soon as Xavi Alonso received the ball, he started to slant behind the Manchester United defense at the fastest speed.

The moment Xavi Alonso passed the ball, he was just a little behind Vidic, not offside.

The Serbian central defender turned slowly and was directly rushed by Yang Yang, but Wes Brown chased Yang Yang all the way and did not let go. The two of them slanted into the penalty area at the same time.

After Yang Yang rushed up at the fastest speed, he not only had to deal with Wes Brown beside him, but also had to judge where the ball would land. At the same time, he also had to pay attention to Van der Sar, who resolutely gave up the goal and attacked...

All the fans in the audience exclaimed at this moment.

Even Sky TV's Andy Gray couldn't help but get excited.

"Liverpool's offside was successful. Yang Yang entered the penalty area to see if he could stop the ball."

Under the watchful eyes of all the fans in the audience and the attention of countless fans around the world, Yang Yang blocked Wes Brown with his body and decisively took the lead with his right foot.

At this moment, [Borgkamp's stop] One of the actions of stopping the high ball floated in his mind, how to stop, what posture, how to exert force... All kinds of things surfaced in his mind in an instant. mind.

This kind of ball is very difficult to stop, and it can even be said that it is very difficult to stop, but if it is stopped well, it is basically a classic.

Van der Sar abandoned the goal and attacked, waiting for Yang Yang to stop the ball, he subconsciously thought that he would stop the big; Weiss Brown used his body to interfere with Yang Yang, and was also waiting for him to stop the big.

It's not a mistake, just stop a little bit bigger and Wes Brown's interference will work and Van der Sar will be able to hold the ball with ease.

All of this seems complicated, but it was actually decided in an instant, from the players' usual accumulation and the tacit cooperation between Wes Brown and Van der Sar in their daily training.

This time, Yang Yang was obviously a little unexpected.

Because he stopped!

Xavi Alonso's over-the-top pass from 30 meters away was stopped by his gentle kick.

The ball seemed to stick to his instep, as if it was filled with water and could not bounce, and fell down Yang Yang's right foot.

This surprised both Van der Sar and Wes Brown, and they both reacted and rushed up the first time.

But they were fast, Yang Yang was one step faster than them, and his right foot shoved the ball to the right first.

Although Van der Sar fell to the ground and wanted to throw the ball, he was still a step behind.

And after Yang Yang got rid of Wes Brown, he quickly chased after him, and he easily pushed and shot the empty goal!

...

"Wow!!!"

"God, it was a fantastic goal!"

"An anti-offside single shot from Yang Yang in the 56th minute scored Manchester United's goal again."

"It was a very good goal and a very morale booster!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"I really can't describe my mood at this moment, Yang Yang is constantly creating accidents."

...

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he clenched his fists in Manchester United's penalty area and made a roar. He turned and rushed out of the penalty area. He rushed all the way to the bottom of Liverpool's stands, rushed directly to the billboard, and roared at Liverpool in the stands. .

The cries of crazy Liverpool fans also swept in like a tsunami, and the Red Army fans in the front row rushed out, some holding Yang Yang's hands, some hugging his thighs...

Behind them, Liverpool's players also chased after them one after another, especially Xavi Alonso, who excitedly hugged Yang Yang from behind.

He is so excited!

Not just because of the assists, but because this goal helped Liverpool reverse Manchester United.

...

"Liverpool's attack this time is very thoughtful, but the more important thing is the stop from Yang Yang."

Taking advantage of the live TV broadcast, Andy Gray repeatedly replayed the moment Yang Yang stopped the ball in slow motion from all angles, and praised Yang Yang's stop.

"We can see that at the moment when he stopped the ball, he obviously had an unloading action, which was very important. It made the ball look as if it became heavy and would not bounce back. Then Yang Yang's reaction It was also very fast, stabbed it one step ahead, and let Van der Sar slammed into the air."

"It can be said that the stop and the subsequent stab were the key to this goal."

"I believe that when we saw this stop, we can clearly feel that Yang Yang's stopping technique is really excellent. Such a difficult ball can be handled by him as if he can handle it with ease. It is quite rare.”

"At the same time, this goal is also very important. It was a huge blow to Manchester United, but for Liverpool, it was a great boost to morale and gave all Liverpool players and fans confidence."

...

The whole Anfield stadium shouted Yang Yang's name in the sky.

More than 50,000 fans were shouting the same name in unison, which made Yang Yang feel extremely proud.

And he also found Su Ye in the crowded stands, and she looked very proud.

It made him more happy than a goal.

This time, Manchester United took the initiative to put pressure on the referee, indicating that Liverpool's celebration took too long.

The referee had to run over to remind Yang Yang and the Liverpool players that they hurried back to prepare for the kick-off.

This made all the Liverpool players burst out laughing.

The feeling of revenge and hatred... It's so cool!
