Chapter 672 Who Is the Flower?

"I'm happy for our game today because we played to our level."

In the post-match press conference, Benitez became the protagonist of the media reporters.

Before the game, Ferguson took the initiative to provoke, belittling Xavi Alonso, Benitez passively counterattacked, and now, Liverpool reversed Manchester United 3-1 at home, Benitez certainly has no reason to let Ferguson go.

That's not really Benitez's style.

"We were behind a very good team at one point, but when we were behind, we showed our character and played very tenaciously, which is a very positive factor and has helped us a lot throughout the season."

"To be honest, I was disappointed to get the goal so early, because I wanted to put pressure on the opponent from the start, but sometimes the game is like this, there are many uncontrollable factors, fortunately, after conceding the goal early , the whole team played really well and it turned things around very quickly."

Benitez also named and praised Liverpool's players. The first mention was Xavi Alonso. He believed that although the Spanish midfielder made mistakes, the overall performance was quite good and he played very well.

There is also the new aid Gareth Barry, Benitez obviously also considers the competition between Xavi Alonso and Gareth Barry, so he also believes that the England midfielder has performed very hard, played own strength level.

"Obviously, he's playing better game by game and I'm sure he can play an increasingly important role in the team."

Benitez believes that Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick, is the key to Liverpool's victory over Manchester United in this game.

"Physically, he's not quite ready, but we need his quality because we have a number of players who can't play this game, including Gerrard, Crouch and Carragher, so we Yang Yang is needed, he needs to play a role at a critical moment."

"It turns out that Yang Yang never disappoints, he plays very well, very well, even he can be said to be the best player in the team, especially the first two goals, each of which is very beautiful, also Very important."

Everyone knows that Benitez never likes to praise people, so he rarely praises people, but this time, he took a few minutes to praise Yang Yang's performance in this game today, which shows that he is very concerned about this in his heart. The emphasis on the game and the affirmation of Yang Yang can be said to be the greatest praise for Yang Yang.

After winning this game, Liverpool can be said to be aiming for the league title, but Benitez believes that it is not so easy.

"I think to win the Premier League title, we need to do two things well, one is to continue to maintain the performance advantage over the top teams, we got a precious three points from Manchester United today, but there are other teams, and One aspect is to play against other teams, and we have to score points steadily."

Although Benitez found it difficult, he also expressed his confidence in the team.

"I think we can finish the season with a satisfactory result."

...

In contrast to Benitez, Ferguson was furious when answering questions in his post-match press conference.

"My view of the whole game was that Liverpool played better than us, a lot better."

"Their tackles were ferocious, they caused us problems, forced us to make mistakes, and we didn't deal with it well and that was the source of our failure."

"In fact, we started very well. We established a lead early on. I thought at the time that we could build on this and play better and better, but what we didn't expect was that our defense made mistakes."

"Yang Yang's personal performance has rewritten the trend of the game. The first two goals are absolutely amazing, which fully reflects Yang Yang's top personal strength. I even think that if there are fans to watch the replay of the goals in the future, they may feel , Yang Yang is not facing a top team aiming to win the league title and the Champions League, but an amateur team."

"Except for Ferdinand, none of us on the pitch deserved to be excellent. We were completely defeated by Yang Yang!"

Ferguson obviously wanted to take this opportunity to hold Yang Yang and stimulate the players of Manchester United, and what he said was indeed the truth. Manchester United's entire midfield and frontcourt were very sluggish, including Berbatov, who assisted at the beginning.

Daniel Agger and Skrtel's partner in this game played quite well, plus the three defensive midfielders, Manchester United basically did not get a decent chance.

The defense was good at first, but unfortunately, Vidic elbowed Xavi Alonso during the fight before the end of the second half. As a result, he received a second yellow card and was sent off with a red card.

Losing the ball and losing again, Ferguson's anger can be imagined.

Because the next game, Manchester United to away to Chelsea.

But Gerrard's coming off the bench was very encouraging.

Although they are all captains, Gerrard is the local soul of Liverpool. His symbolic significance in this team is not comparable to that of Yang Yang. This is a spirit that cannot be replaced no matter how many goals he scores. inherited.

Manchester United's worst performer was Van der Sar, who only picked up four points as he made several mistakes in the game.

"When Yang Yang was on the court, he was the most threatening player on the court every minute, and at the same time, he was very active, especially in the first half, he dribbled the ball through his personal ability several times, which left people behind. He was very impressed, and he scored three goals by himself, scored a hat-trick, led the team to reverse Manchester United, made great contributions to Liverpool, and also laid a solid foundation for the league championship this season."

...

The Guardian used the front page headline [Complete Victory] to describe this Liverpool game!

They listed the key data of this game. Liverpool crushed Manchester United 25 to 5 in the number of shots, which was five times that of the Red Devils, which undoubtedly made Ferguson's team very embarrassed.

The Guardian commented that this should not appear in the strong dialogue between the top teams.

The ball possession ratio is about the same, 53.9 to 46.1, and the passing success rate is 76 to 69.6. Combined with the number of shots of the two teams, it is not difficult to see that most of the game was played. At times, Manchester United struggled to break through Liverpool's defense and create a threatening attack.

"Except for the number of fouls at 10-18, Manchester United got two yellow cards and a red card, Liverpool did not get a yellow card or a yellow card, and all the remaining statistics, Manchester United, without exception, are in a weak position."

"It was such a complete defeat that Ferguson blamed his players in his post-match press conference for playing as badly as amateurs."

...

In addition to Sky Sports and the Guardian, other major British media have also focused on this crucial matchup.

Even those media who are not used to Liverpool or Yang Yang on weekdays have to admit that this time, Liverpool and Yang Yang really showed the strength to crush Manchester United.

Of course, this is not because Liverpool is so powerful, but because Manchester United really performed badly in this game, and the tactical level was suppressed, and Ferguson was powerless.

The loss of the midfield made Manchester United fully passive.

As for Yang Yang's performance, he gave overwhelming praise, believing that the Chinese hat-trick was the first shot to hit this year's World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, making these two awards full of suspense.

The media close to Liverpool, including the Liverpool Post, The Daily Telegraph and The Times, have written articles to sing praises for Yang Yang, believing that with his current performance, he is fully worthy of winning these two supreme honors.

But there are also media close to Manchester United who believe that Cristiano Ronaldo helped the team win a Champions League and deserves this reward, and one of the important reasons why Manchester United lost the Double Red Club was the absence of the Portuguese.

With the decline of Kaka, Messi did not take the honor, and the two most competitive players this year are undoubtedly Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yang Yang won the Premier League championship, the Premier League scorer and assist king, the Champions League scorer and assist king, as well as the most important, but also the most talked about by the media and fans around the world, becoming second only to Gai in the past 60 years. The only player to score more than 50 goals in a season since De Muller.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he did not perform well in the European Cup this summer. He won the runner-up in the Premier League. Although he also scored 31 goals, it was slightly inferior to Yang Yang's 34 goals. More convincing is the Champions League champion.

It is still unclear who will kill the deer, but the media in the UK has already been divided into two factions.

Some support Yang Yang, stand for him, and sing praises; while others support Cristiano Ronaldo and cheer for him.

Behind the media on Fleet Street, there are media and fans from the United Kingdom, Europe, and even the world.

Everyone is waiting to see who will win the two grand prizes in December.

Before that, whether it is Yang Yang or Cristiano Ronaldo, they must show a better performance again.
