Chapter 055: Mr. Finals Yang Fan!(I)

Liverpool manager Dalglish shook his head in disappointment, turned and walked back. The mouth was still chattering: "How can he shoot such a ball in?!How can our people not stop him?!"

Yang Fan actually fought his way out of the siege and interception of Maxi Rodriguez, Johnson and the trusted Carragher, and also scored the football in a position where it was impossible to score. Dalglish was so depressed about conceding such a goal. He doesn't think it's an honor to be scored such a classic goal by his opponent in the game, he just feels that the opponent is too **** lucky, and he is too unlucky!

Reyna fell heavily from the air, he sat on the ground, turned his head to see, the football was already lying quietly in the goal. He looked at the soccer ball with some distraction.

When he pounced on the ball just now, experience told Reina that Yang Fan's greatest possibility in that position was to choose to pass, because shooting in that position was almost impossible to have a chance to score!

However, the experience did not help Reina this time!

This time, he was deceived by his own experience and prejudgment!

Yang Fan shot in a place where it was impossible to shoot, and in a position where it was impossible to score, he scored!

Although Reina's performance after the start of the game today was quite good, saving several inevitable goals for the Manchester City team, he was a little frustrated and angry about this conceded goal, and he was a little disappointed for his 'empiricist mistake' Reina, and he felt that his performance today was like a ****.

Reina looked up at the person who was being surrounded by his teammates and frowned, that kid's performance was really unexpected, doing something very human!

Some people may suspect that Yang Fan's shot just now was actually a cross, and the goal was just a blind cat touching a dead mouse, but Reina didn't think so, his feeling told him that Yang Fan was shooting!

It seems that in the face of such an opponent in the future, you should be more careful, experience does not play much role in front of this kid, and sometimes, it will suffer from it.

The Liverpool fans at Wembley Stadium finally booed again after a moment of silence.

This is, of course, for Manchester City, and more can be understood as for Yang Fan!

At Wembley Stadium, Yang Fan's two long-distance runs, Liverpool's encirclement and interception, there is no way to take him, these two long-distance runs, the result is an assist, a goal!

The person Liverpool fans don't like the most is the one who is the best performer in the whole Manchester City team, and even the one who performed the best in the first half, and he made the effect of Liverpool's two goals greatly reduced!

Coupled with the previous grudges, new hatreds and old hatreds, Liverpool fans don't hate him, who do they hate?

This boo continued until the end of the first half.

Manchester City, twice down, twice equalised, especially in the way they equalised, gave them a morale boost, and the players looked like they were leading now when the whistle blew at the end of the first half. With a smile on his face, the City player entered the dressing room.

Liverpool's players looked a little confused---- they thought they had a pretty good first half, leading twice and scoring two goals, but at the end of the first half, the score was 2-2!

Dalglish had already left his seat and turned to walk into the corridor when the whistle blew for the first time. He was unhappy with the result and had something to say at half-time.

In the dressing room of Manchester City.

"Well done. "Mancini was in a good mood, his voice was loud and his movements were powerful. It was clear that he was quite happy with the result in the first half. "The game, it's still in our hands, in the first half, you showed the fans how tenacious you are, in the second half, keep trying, our goal today is -"

"Champion!" shouted everyone.

"Okay, let's talk about the second half. Mancini said.

Hearing his words, everyone became serious. After all, the current score is only 2 to 2, and there is no lead yet, not to mention this game, it is not so easy to win, for this, everyone knows it.

"Liverpool thinks the same way we do, win the game!" Mancini pointed to the door of the dressing room, and it was not far from the right turn in the away dressing room that Liverpool was in the dressing room, and he continued, "So, when the second half starts, Liverpool will definitely increase their offensive Do you know what that means?" He didn't wait for the players to answer, he continued, in fact, he didn't want to hear the players' answers, "When Liverpool is attacking with all their might, that's our chance, seize it- Victory and championship are ours!!" Mancini slammed the table with a clatter.

Everyone nodded with a straight face.

Mancini continued to lay out his tactics.

Meanwhile, in the Liverpool ground dressing room.

Dalglish grimaced, and in front of him were Liverpool's players who were also not very good-looking.

Dalglish first scolded the players.

In fact, Liverpool king Dalglish is not in a good position right now, with the English media widely believing that Dalglish could be sacked at the end of the season.

Factors such as poor results, discord with the hierarchy, health reasons, etc., the reasons for Dalglish's current predicament are much more complex. First of all, Liverpool now have just 49 points this season, the lowest number of points in a single season since 1953-1954 (converting League One points into a three-point system) with two league games remaining, and even Dalglish leading the team to the FA Cup final will not be able to hide the stain of his team's poor league record, and Liverpool's league position behind Merseyside arch-rivals Everton is also difficult for Reds supporters to accept.

Secondly, Dalglish has been the subject of controversy during his tenure. Aside from the record factor, Dalglish's support for the Uruguayans in the midst of Suarez's racism scandal has undermined Dalglish's good impression in the hearts of the outside world, and BBC chief football reporter Ingham said it well: "Dalglish's attitude in the Suarez incident is not surprising, he likes to stand up when players are in trouble, and he is also interpreting 'you will never go alone', but some people do not approve of his approach." ”

Finally, Liverpool director Golmoli Comori, who has been a staunch supporter of Dalglish, has left, leaving Dalglish alone. Moreover, Carol, Adam, Henderson and Downing, whom King Kenny strongly advocated, have been accused of being parallel goods more than once, and the above are not low-valued. Carroll alone has cost the club £35 million, with the former Newcastle striker making little contribution since his arrival. Dalglish took over halfway through last season, taking the Reds, who were once in danger of relegation, to mid-table and earning them a long-term contract. But last summer, the team was still like a plate of loose sand, and the biggest possibility to welcome him was to get out of class.

However, the media also pointed out that if Dalglish could lead Liverpool to FA Cup glory, everything would be different.

Of course, Dalglish is the king of Liverpool, and although he is now criticized, Dalglish still has absolute authority in the Liverpool dressing room.

"Let's see how we play in the second half......" Dalglish said, pointing to the tactics board after venting his anger. On the tactical board, he marked several arrows with a red pen pointing to Manchester City's goal and the penalty area.

The content of this tactical board says it all.

"We've got to attack ......," Dalglish shouted. 'But we can't press them all and have to defend them on the counter-attack as well as on the attack. In the second half, we focused our attacking forces on the two flanks......" he said, pointing to the opposition formation on the tactical board.

'The two wings have to be lively, they have to be more aggressive. ”

'In midfield, you have to be more tenacious and more creative. ”

"Second half. Bellamy, you up, replace Lucas. Dalglish said suddenly.

Although Lucas was dissatisfied, no matter what he said, his performance in the first half was really average, and Liverpool's midfield, whether it was Kuyt or Gerrard or Maxi Rodriguez, was okay, and he was relatively quiet.

Hearing that he was being replaced, Bellamy nodded.

Before the start of the second half, Liverpool were ready to make personnel changes near the touchline.

Liverpool replaced Lucas, who had a more average first half performance, with Bellamy.

City also made important changes, with Yaya Toure coming on and Johnson coming off the bench.

"Yaya Toure was replaced? What is the reason for this? We don't know yet, but we can guess that Yaya Toure must have had a reason to be replaced, such as being injured, otherwise Mancini would not have replaced Yaya Toure easily. The narrator guessed.

As the commentator guessed, Yaya Toure was indeed injured, he felt muscle aches at halftime, and after the physiotherapist gave him a massage, there was still no good improvement, and for safety reasons, Mancini still replaced Yaya Toure. Replaced by Johnson.

Yaya Toure was replaced by Johnson, and in the first half of the game, Kompany was replaced by Richards, Manchester City's two substitutions were replaced because of the injury of the player, which was a passive substitution, which also made Mancini very helpless.

Johnson came off the bench and Gareth Barry was in the back midfield position, and he and Frenkie de Jong formed a double midfield, Johnson in the right midfield position and David Silva in the left midfield position.

At the start of the second half, Liverpool's attack intensified significantly, and they seemed to lay siege to Joe Hart's goal without thinking about defence.

The commentator seems to be used to such situations, and at the beginning of the first half, the situation on the pitch was like this.

Liverpool's offensive is very strong, but in the face of Manchester City's formation retraction, there will be no way for a while, but it is Manchester City's two counterattacks that make Liverpool very embarrassed.

However, Reina's performance was really good, he saved two shots from Manchester City in a row, and with him in the back to keep the goal open, Liverpool's attacking players were much more relieved.

Roberto Mancini was furious that his side had missed two must-score chances.

He decided to make a substitution.

Dzeko is not very fast, and Mancini intends to field a faster striker.

When calling Balotelli to his side, Mancini asked Mario: "Mario, the team is a bit passive now, we need someone to go up and turn the tide. ”

"Leave it to me, Coach. Balotelli said confidently, in fact, he has always been confident.

"Looks like you're confident. Then I'll be relieved, go up. I'll wait to see you score. Mancini patted Balotelli on the shoulder. He has a lot of trust in this line of people he brought out from Inter Milan.

City were quick to make a substitution, with Balotelli coming on as a substitute and Dzeko coming on.

And Balotelli's play, everyone knows that this is Mancini's "attacking signal".

Seeing Balotelli on the pitch, Dalglish was not too nervous, and a problem player, Balotelli, would not pose much of a threat to his team.

After Balotelli ran onto the pitch, he made a gesture to the players, which was to continue to defend the counter-attack, and to be more resolute in the counterattack, and all the Manchester City players understood it.

Roberto Mancini has made a substitution, with Dalglish still on hold. First of all, he doesn't know what the effect of Mancini's change will be, so it's right to watch first, and secondly, Liverpool are in good shape right now, and under Bellamy, they are putting pressure on City's backline.

However, Dalglish still made a slight adjustment, he just asked the players on the back line to pay attention to offside, and one way to deal with the defensive counterattack was to create offside, so that the opposing attacking players frequently fell into the offside trap, resulting in the opponent's passers no longer dare to pass the ball easily.

In the following time, the quality of City's counter-attacks improved. First of all, Yang Fan can control the ball at his feet, break through, shoot from a distance, and is very comprehensive, such a striker can do what it takes several people to do. In addition, Balotelli has just come on the pitch and Mario is still very fit.

Mancini arranged for Yang Fan's position to retreat slightly to organize the team's attack, which in the eyes of many people, some unknown tactical adjustments, but in the end, it still paid off.

After Gareth Barry intercepted a pass from Liverpool, he passed the football to David Silva, who handed it directly to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan pulled the ball and turned around, facing the defense of Maxi Rodriguez, he smashed the ball past Maxi Rodriguez, and then, accelerated with the ball at high speed!

Bellamy came up to intercept Yang Fan.

Yang Fan suddenly made a sudden stop, he glanced at Bellamy, and at the same time observed the situation on the field with the corner of his eye.

Yang Fan flicked the football to the left, and he was about to break through from that side.

Bellamy didn't hesitate to make a tackle.

However, in the next second, the Welsh veteran's face changed, because he saw Yang Fan jump up and dodge his tackle, this discovery made Bellamy a little surprised, because Yang Fan still has the shadow of football under his feet!

Yang Fan shoveled under Bellamy, jumped up to avoid the tackle at the same time, he deftly took the first step and passed the football out!

Balotelli, meanwhile, slapped the ball right from behind Agger on the other side, but was not offside, and cut diagonally to catch the ball.

"Balotelli!!!, a good pass and an offside counter!"

But this is not Liverpool's death sentence, because Yang Fan is under the pressure of Bellamy, his left-footed pass, in order to be able to pass the football as much as possible, his force is still relatively large.

Therefore, there is still some distance between the rolling route of the football and Balotelli, as long as Reina goes out in time to block the line and angle, plus he continues to play as bravely as always, then it is not impossible to save the team in one attempt.

Reyna made his choice – he was going to get as close as possible to Balotelli and block his shot, while he mentally recalled Balotelli's shooting characteristics and was ready to save.

Yang Fan's pass, the force is slightly larger, Balotelli suddenly stepped forward, caught up with the football, at this time, the angle of wanting to shoot directly is already relatively small, unless Balotelli takes the ball to wipe horizontally, and then look for a better shooting angle!

So, after Reina attacked, his body was ready to move to the left and pounce at Balotelli's feet, and he was waiting for the moment when Balotelli moved laterally!

Experience is important for goalkeepers, and if they can make predictions based on their own experience, their chances of making a successful save will increase exponentially.

'Balotelli has caught up with the football, Reina has attacked, he has blocked Balotelli's shot angle to the maximum, does the Italian still have a chance?'

"Over his ——!!!" Yang Fan suddenly shouted loudly in the back.

The shout even startled Reina, and the Liverpool goalkeeper's heart was also abrupt, and his instinct was that Balotelli seemed to choose to pass him.

Balotelli moved immediately, as if he was about to get ready to pass.

Reyna was shocked, he guessed that Balotelli was going to pass him. His body had to move with Balotelli's wobbly body, and at the same time, looking for an opportunity to pounce on the ball!

At this moment, just when everyone thought that Balotelli had passed Reina, Balotelli suddenly toe upwards with ease......

The ball flew over the head of Reina, who was already lying low and ready to pounce, and flew straight towards the empty goal behind him!

"Are you going to get past Reina...... Oo!!!?!!!oo

Reina was guarding against Balotelli's pass, but who would have thought that the opponent would come to shoot with a pick, and it was too late for him to jump up from the ground to pounce on the ball, so he could only half-kneel on the ground, looking at the football that was still flying in the air with some embarrassment and anxiety.

Reina watched the soccer ball fall into the net, and finally fell to the ground on one side, feeling a chill in his heart. This time, he lost to Balotelli!

"Brilliant shot! a surprise shot that everyone thought Balotelli would use a pendulum pass to get past Reina, and he chose to shoot!"

'Reyna was in great form today, he saved a couple of action-worthy shots from Manchester City, but this time, he couldn't keep out Balotelli!'

From Yang Fan's exquisite pass to Balotelli's run, Balotelli's last sudden shot, the whole goal process was pleasing to the eye!"

"Aha! We saw Yang Fan and Balotelli hugging each other! Yang Fan's pass was quite exciting, and Mario's shot was unusually beautiful!" the commentator exclaimed.
