Chapter 687 Fighter
"Three minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool got a very good free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, but Yang Yang did not take the free kick, but kicked the ball lightly, and the referee Howard Weber was also very interesting, The final whistle was blown."
On the day after the game, the Guardian newspaper used the headline to describe last night's big game.
The Guardian believes that this is a crucial matchup that fans all over the world have been hyping up and looking forward to before the game, but the process is quite dull. The ending stage ushered in a big outbreak, a very ups and downs of strong dialogue.
Therefore, the Guardian believes that Yang Yang's goal not only saved Liverpool, but also saved this powerful matchup in the Premier League.
"Without Yang Yang's goal, it would have been a disastrous game!"
Does that mean that there is no gold content in this game?
Neither!
The Guardian believes that this is a very non-Premier League game, because the managers of both teams are full of reason and restraint.
Chelsea know that Liverpool has a strong offensive and a strong defense, especially Yang Yang, so Scolari has formulated a strategy of strictly guarding against the dead and focusing on passing and controlling the ball in the midfield and backcourt, hoping to play the pass and control of Deco and Mikel in the midfield. Ball advantage.
"The weak attack has seriously dragged down Chelsea's passing and possession play, and even Drogba's return will not change it."
Liverpool saw that Chelsea's offense was weak, but Benitez didn't dare to take risks easily. Even in the first hour, the Red Army played very well and did not leave the slightest chance for Chelsea, making the Blue Army unable to start.
"The turning point of the game was in the 60th minute, when Benitez made a decision that could be said to change the whole game. He replaced Crouch with Gareth Bale, gave up the commanding heights of the frontcourt and put Yang Yang Pushed to the top of the line."
"This is a very surprising substitution. In the past three seasons, Liverpool have always been rotating between four, three and three and four, four and two, and occasionally played four and five one, but like today, Yang Yang is one It is indeed very rare and very sudden for people to be pushed to the front."
"But the facts have proved that Yang Yang is at the forefront alone, he has got a great degree of freedom, he can give full play to his physical advantages, and he does not hesitate to run in a wide range of physical strength, making it difficult for Chelsea's defenders to limit. live with him."
"Follow, the defense line will be chaotic. If you don't follow, Yang Yang will get a chance. This is a dilemma."
"And in the end, it was Yang Yang who pulled to the left periphery of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Gareth Bell, he got rid of Carvalho's defense by himself, passed Mikel again, and after passing Terry, the arc was over. The ball of the line hits the far corner."
"It was definitely a fantastic on-the-spot command from Benitez."
"But the Spaniard said in the post-match press conference that it was all a strategy that the coaching staff had made before the game."
"Benitez said, 'We have already made a plan before the game, and even we have a very clear understanding of the difficulties we will encounter on the road and how to deal with them, including pushing Yang Yang to the striker. It was a very interesting attempt, and Yang Yang's comprehensiveness also gave the attempt a very high success rate.'"
The Guardian ridiculed that Benitez was stubborn. It was obviously an on-the-spot command, but he made a sudden decision, but insisted that it was planned before the game. This is obviously to avoid the outside world thinking that Liverpool won the game. by chance.
But the Guardian believes that this is not necessary, because Liverpool is indeed very tenacious in this game.
"The combination of Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano is not good at passing and holding the ball, and facing the midfield of Lampard, Deco and Mikel, Liverpool are passing and holding the ball. It's normal to be at a disadvantage."
"However, Liverpool were very tight throughout the game, the defence was very well organised, they didn't give Chelsea the slightest chance, and what was more important was the belief that this team had to win in the game, and that An admirable fighting spirit."
"Yang Yang, Daniel Agger, Mascherano, Skrtel, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard, Carragher, Reina, Kuyt... From these players, you can see Liverpool's mental strength, it's deeply infecting everyone in this team."
"Some people will think that this team was lucky to win this game and scored the final goal, but if you have seen the Champions League final in 2005, and they have conceded two goals in a row, they reversed Manchester City with four goals. It's not hard to see that it's no surprise that Liverpool won because this is the real Liverpool!"
The Guardian also stated that Yang Yang is Liverpool's most valuable asset, not only because of his ability to score goals on the pitch.
"We can't deny that Yang Yang is the world's number one top scorer and attacker, which is an invaluable treasure for any team, but for Liverpool, Yang Yang is more involved with the team. A top star in the world who perfectly matches his spiritual strength."
"Look at him in the final stages of the game, still running with all his strength, look at the picture of him struggling to stop the ball under the pressure of Terry, who is taller and stronger than himself, and then look at him being used by Carvalho. The tenacious tenacity that puts his elbows on his neck and his hands on his ears, but refuses to fall down..."
"He was born to play for Liverpool, he was born to be an infectious fighter!"
In the end, the Guardian believes that whether it is a four-to-two reversal of Manchester City or a final goal to beat Chelsea today, Liverpool have shown the temperament that a strong team should have. a satisfactory grade.
...
The Times also headlined the match on the front page.
They believe that since Benitez coached Liverpool, he has gone through three stages.
The first is the basic period. This was before Yang Yang joined. Even if Liverpool reversed AC Milan at that time, it still didn't give the impression that it was a top European team. On the contrary, that Liverpool team did not look strong, especially in attack. .
Then came the promotion period, marked by Yang Yang joining Liverpool, which represented the overall improvement of Liverpool. Benitez's team began to get better, with a top superstar who can provide a stable 40 to 50 goals every year. Benitez has enough ability to create different tactical play and adapt to different opponents.
The final stage is maturity. From the beginning of this season, Liverpool's entire performance has undergone a significant transformation.
"In the past two years, a Champions League title and a Premier League title have greatly improved the psychological quality of Liverpool players, and the burden originally placed on the team has been completely released. This season, Liverpool have obviously played more stably. , more mature, and higher psychological quality.”
"So far, Liverpool have reversed their opponents in five games successively, which can be called the Premier League and even the European reversal king, which means that Liverpool's psychological quality is fully mature and very stable."
The Times believes that this game against Chelsea is also a very good proof, because even in the final stage of the game, in the 90th minute, Liverpool still played very methodically and showed no signs of being too impatient. In the end, Yang Yang's goal beat Chelsea.
"Benitez pushed Yang Yang to the front line, which should have been a helpless move, but unexpectedly it completely liberated Yang Yang, allowing him to devote himself to the attack, and his comprehensiveness allowed him to deal with any situation in the frontcourt. a situation."
"If it is a fan watching the game, it is estimated that there will be a feeling that Yang Yang's tactical effect seems to be even more obvious than Crouch. After he went up, he directly suppressed the defense line of Terry and Carvalho."
Scolari also said in an interview with the media after the game that Yang Yang completely changed the trend of the game after he was put on the front line.
"From that moment on, we started to lose control of the game because Liverpool put the most disturbing weapon in our box and it kept us from being safe all the time."
The Times said that this is undoubtedly the highest evaluation given by the opposing coach.
Of course, Scolari once again complained about Chelsea's signings, nothing more than that he couldn't get the players he wanted.
Benitez also praised Yang Yang after the game, "Everyone in the team is very hardworking, every player is full of motivation in the competition, but Yang Yang is different, he is a key player and can change a game. , for defenders, he is a very deadly threat.
"In football, there are some tasks that other players can't accomplish, but Yang Yang can. This is what makes him the most unique. To have such a player is the most proud of all teams and coaches. matter."
...
In addition to the Guardian, The Times and the Daily Telegraph and other media close to Liverpool, the media and fans all over the UK and even the world are reporting this powerful matchup.
Relying on this finale goal, Yang Yang reappeared on the front pages of major newspapers. Everyone believes that he is still the number one favorite of this year's World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or.
However, there are also many media who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. As Cristiano Ronaldo expected, Yang Yang refused to fall to the ground under the entanglement of Carvalho, to satirize Ronaldinho's fake game against Everton. fall, and draw conclusions.
"Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score because he deliberately fell on his way!"
This apparently malicious report quickly caused a firefight between the media.
It's November, and soon it'll be December.
The two Supreme Awards will also be unveiled soon, and the last month will be the most intense competition between the two and the most lively media hype. Judging from the current situation, Yang Yang clearly has the upper hand, and his voice is higher. .
Because after the new season, he clearly has to perform better.
