Chapter 678 Yang Yang Is Too Strong!
Amid the noise of more than 40,000 fans, Yang Yang was still sitting on the bench of the visiting team, watching the game silently.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Liverpool turned out to be more proactive and the team played more threateningly, but Mark Hughes was obviously mentally prepared for the situation he might encounter in the second half, so it was not easy to deal with it. Disaster.
Manchester City's defense is still good, but Yang Yang believes that as their physical fitness continues to decline, they will definitely have problems.
It's a matter of time.
After the opening, Liverpool still tried a few times on the left, hoping that Gareth Bale could create a threat, but Zabaleta completely froze the Welshman, which prevented Gareth Bale from getting a good chance .
Even the speed he was most proud of didn't work.
After trying a few times and seeing no effect, Xavi Alonso decisively chose to shift the target and tried to attack from the right.
Sitting on the bench, Yang Yang has been paying attention to every move on the court. He clearly sees the problems Gareth Bell is facing now.
Welsh winger is a very potential player. He can stand out from Southampton's youth academy, not only because he is fast enough, there are not many fast players, which is not very competitive in itself.
In addition to being fast, Gareth Bell is also very solid in basic skills. He shoots very explosively, and as a left-footed player, he is very good at dribbling and attacking the ball from the left. ball technology.
These are his strengths.
At Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale is more of a threat on the left, and he is a left-back, so he is used to rushing to the bottom line as soon as he gets the ball, trying to use his speed advantage to create opportunity.
This is normal thinking, because it is very important for players to play to their strengths.
But this is not right, because the opponent will also know your advantage very well, and even limit it.
It's like in this game, Mark Hughes obviously defended against this characteristic of Gareth Bale. Zabaleta almost froze the Welshman, especially afterward, Bell played more and more urgently. , the more hurried the more chaotic.
Yang Yangtai understands the situation Gareth Bale is facing at this moment, and that is why he is so grateful to Van Gaal so far.
A winger usually has only two ways to create a threat, either down or inside.
For Gareth Bell, who can only use his left foot, cutting inside from the left is not his advantage, and it is not smooth to play, but he can easily be restricted by his opponents by blindly bottoming.
That's the problem he's facing now.
In fact, it's really easy to guard Gareth Bale once you get the hang of him.
If Gareth Bell wants to avoid this situation, he has to change his style of play, or like Yang Yang, make himself more comprehensive, especially his right foot, he must be able to master it as soon as possible, let himself Able to cut inside to create a threat.
Or he will learn Robben.
The Dutch winger is very fast, but at the same time has a very good rhythm, which makes him only left footed, although the opponent has figured out his usual tricks, but he has never been able to completely restrain him, because his rhythm is really very good. Great.
Yang Yang has been practicing several star skills that he has learned in the past this summer, and continues to improve himself, without learning more new star skills, and if he has time next, he also wants to learn rhythm. s things.
Giggs, Figo, Robben... These people are wing players with a strong sense of rhythm, and they are all worth learning.
What's more, there is the legendary ancient giant in the super training ground, who is the real master of rhythm.
However, for now, Gareth Bell is obviously unable to do it. He just dashes with the ball again and again, trying to play his own speed advantage, but he hits the wall again and again.
...
At the fifty-fifth minute of the game, Benitez finally couldn't sit still, and immediately asked Yang Yang to warm up.
In fact, as early as halftime, the Spanish head coach wanted to make a substitution, but the substitution at halftime would definitely be a blow to Gareth Bale's psychology, so Yang Yang proposed to give Gareth Bale another change. Bell a moment.
Young players always need to exercise and improve despite setbacks.
In the absence of injuries, substitutions in the first half are a humiliation to the starters, and substitutions in midfield are more like taking the blame. In any case, this is a blow to the players' psychology.
Therefore, Yang Yang hopes that the coaching staff will give Gareth Bell more time.
And he can see it very clearly off the field. Manchester City's physical fitness will not last long, so he is sure that he can change the situation or even reverse the opponent after he comes on the field.
Therefore, Benitez agreed to his proposal.
In the 60th minute, taking advantage of a dead ball, Yang Yang stood on the sidelines and replaced Gareth Bell, giving the Welshman a decent shot. So, when Bell came off, he hugged Yang Yang and said in his ear one after another. Two thanks.
"Don't worry about it, you can do better next time." Yang Yang comforted.
He is now the team's number one star and has already achieved fame, but Bell is a 19-year-old rookie. Naturally, he wants to help his younger brother, not to mention this is just a little effort for him.

Yang Yang is on the bench!
This suddenly made more than 40,000 Manchester City fans in the entire city stadium feel nervous.
The head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines was very aware of Yang Yang's threat, and kept shouting to the players, reminding them to pay attention to entangle Yang Yang closely and not give him the slightest chance.
Zabaleta was the first to bear the brunt, but also the most distressed, because he was unsure and didn't know how to defend.
The distance is close, it is easy to get rid of, the distance is far, and I worry that he will seize the opportunity to get the ball.
It's really hard to do!
Liverpool is completely different from Manchester City.
After Yang Yang returned to the court, the morale of the team was boosted, and the tactical style of play also became the backbone.
With thirty minutes left, it is still possible to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent.
Moreover, everyone also felt that after Manchester City's high-intensity pressing and pressing in the first hour, their physical fitness declined very quickly. In the previous game against Chelsea, the reason why they lost three goals in a row was that their physical fitness could not keep up.
Mark Hughes may have learned lessons from this game, but many things will never change.
...
The ball quickly returned to Liverpool's feet.
Harvey Alonso passed Gerrard, Crouch withdrew to respond outside the penalty area, Liverpool launched a strong attack in the middle, attracting attention and creating a gap for Yang Yang on the left.
Yang Yang ran to the left side of the top of the penalty area and raised his hand for the ball.
Crouch quickly passed the ball to Yang Yang's feet and let him face Zabaleta one-on-one.
The Argentine played against Yang Yang at the World Youth Championship three years ago. At that time, he was the captain of the Argentine National Youth Team and played as a defensive midfielder, but after landing in Europe, he switched to playing as a right back and played in the Spaniards. Well behaved.
After Sun Jihai left the team, Manchester City's right flank became Zabaleta's territory.
Yang Yang has been keeping an eye on Zabaleta. Facing Crouch's pass, he used the outside of his right foot to stop to his right, and after adjusting it, he would kick up and hit the goal.
Zabaleta had always been defending Gareth Bell before, and his position was always to block his cross from the bottom, but Yang Yang ran to the left side of the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area to get the ball, and he used the right He stopped the ball with his feet, which made him feel a little uncomfortable for the first time. Then, when he saw that he was about to kick the ball and hit the goal, he was shocked and rushed out quickly.
But Yang Yang didn't hit, but took a small step to the middle with his right foot, and suddenly kicked the door directly.
The ball flew quickly from Zabaleta's side and fell to the lower right corner of the goal, with an obvious landing bounce.
Manchester City goalkeeper Hart's attention was attracted by the actions of Yang Yang and Zabaleta just now. He didn't expect Yang Yang to suddenly change his mind, take a small step inward, and then suddenly hit the goal, and the angle was very tricky, directing the direction. Bottom right corner of the goal.
Hart flew to make a save, but ended up a step behind and the ball hit the goal.
One to two!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Just in the first minute of playing, with the first touch of the ball, Yang Yang pulled a game back for Liverpool."
"It's unbelievable!"
"He is like an omnipotent scoring machine. Manchester City's defenders are like wooden stakes in front of him, and he is easily bypassed."
After Yang Yang scored, he did not rush out of the court to celebrate, but quickly ran to the goal, picked up the football, and quickly ran to the center line, high-fiveing and celebrating with his teammates along the way.
He observed on the sidelines for so long, Zabaleta and Manchester City's defense, he felt clearly.
…………
…………
Gareth Bell sat on the bench and stared at Yang Yang who was running back, his face full of disbelief.
In any case, he never imagined that he had caused so much trouble for himself just now, giving him a headache, and even Zabaleta, who wanted to go crazy, was so easily deceived by Yang Yang and scored a goal. .
This is too exciting for him!
Southampton's youth academy has always been a leader in England. Since his debut, he has been a leader in the Saints' youth academy. He has always believed that his strength and potential are not bad, and he has also grown from Saints to Tottenham Hotspur to Liverpool, step by step.
But today, in this game at Manchester City Stadium, he witnessed such a scene that he could never have believed before, which was too exciting for him.
If he hadn't personally experienced Manchester City's defense just now, if he hadn't really competed with Zabaleta just now, and he only looked at this goal, he would even think, is it too bad for Zabaleta? Or did he release water on purpose?
I believe that fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this moment will feel this way, that is, how could Zabaleta suddenly become so weak and make such a mistake?
But Gareth Bell is very clear that it is not that Zabaleta is too weak, but that Yang Yang is too strong!
Strong enough that he had completely nipped in the bud all of Zabaleta's possible responses.
This goal will be a big blow to Zabaleta, who performed well throughout the game!
