521 Assist the senior [vomiting blood for the fifth shift, begging for a monthly pass]
When Gerrard and Xavi Alonso saw Yang Yang rushing towards Williamsson with the ball, they immediately understood Yang Yang's intentions.
This time it was Xavi Alonso, who was in the best position, who cut in quickly and sprinted straight to the edge of the box.
He believes that Yang Yang must have the ability to bring the ball out and pass it over.
This is his confidence in Yang Yang since the two sides have been partners for more than half a year!
And it turns out that Yang Yang really rarely disappoints.
As Xavi Alonso burst into the 30-metre area, he saw Yang shake off Williamsson and get ahead of De Rossi to get the ball in front of him.
If you were someone else, you would definitely scold at this time: Ma Dan, can't you get closer?
But in the game, Xavi Alonso didn't have time to think about it at all, and directly chased after him as fast as he could.
As a passer, he knows very well that Yang Yang's pass is definitely not so simple.
When Xavi Alonso caught up with the ball, it suddenly became clear why Yang Yang was passing here.
Because when he received the ball, he just opened up some distance from Pizarro.
And Mexes and Zivu were pinned down by Crouch, and Rome's middle lane was completely opened.
Xavi Alonso stopped the ball with his right foot and quickly chased after it, and directly volleyed with his right foot!
The whole stadium only heard a bang, and before everyone could react, they saw the ball crash into the goal guarded by Roma goalkeeper Doni at a very fast speed.
The Roma goalkeeper didn't even have time to react, just bent slightly and the ball went in!
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Xavi Alonso!"
"The ball is in!!!!!"
"One to zero! A quick counterattack from Liverpool, Yang Yang assisted Xavi Alonso to score! ”
"A brilliant shot from 20 meters out!"
……
The Spaniard felt it very strongly when he got up and shot and he knew it was there!
When he saw the ball fly into Roma's goal, he quickly rushed to the left side, rushed directly to Yang Yang, picked up the young teammate by the waist, and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.
It was the first goal of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals!
Xavi Alonso is simply crazy with joy!
Liverpool's players also gathered around, surrounding Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso to celebrate the crucial goal of the Spanish midfielder, which will greatly relieve the pressure on Liverpool.
"The person they want to focus on is me, I'm responsible for pulling away their defense, you run, just fight, kill them!" After the success of Yang Yang's strategy, his confidence became stronger.
Their teammates nodded their heads, apparently aware that this was an opportunity.
The main reason is that Rome is pressing too high.
…………
…………
Lost the ball!
Spalletti's face darkened.
In the first ten minutes of the game, the Roma team was overwhelming, but they didn't expect to suddenly concede a goal.
Now what?
Just go back?
I almost scored just now, and now it's a pity to go back, and all the work has been wasted.
But if you don't go back, what if you lose the ball again?
If it is a more conservative manager, whether it is Benitez, Mourinho or Capello, the choice at this time must be to stabilize the defense first, and then wait for the opportunity slowly.
But Spalletti likes to attack, so his choice is to keep betting.
Roma's players were clearly also angry with the goal conceded, as they dominated and almost scored on a couple of occasions, only to be beaten first by Liverpool, how did they accept that?
So, the manager didn't stop it, and they launched an even more frantic counterattack.
…………
…………
When Yang Yang joined Ajax, everyone including Louis van Gaal, Ronald Koeman, Luther Carroll and Van Basten kept telling him that calmness and sanity are the most important things on the pitch.
Statistics show that in a football match, the peak period for scoring goals is 10 minutes after a goal.
Either the side that conceded the goal frantically counterattacked and scored, or the side that scored the goal took advantage of the victory to chase and seize the opponent's loophole to score another goal to expand the score advantage.
But it is also possible that after the side that lost the goal fought back frantically, it failed to score, but was counterattacked by the opponent.
It's like this time in Liverpool.
After Yang Yang received the ball on the left rib, he passed diagonally to Crouch, who was pulled to the left wing.
The England striker pulled out the Roma defender and played the ball back to the left flank to Aurelio who came in the back row.
After receiving the ball, the Brazilian left full-back crossed to Yang Yang, who ran to the middle.
Yang Yang blocked De Rossi with his body, faced the incoming ball with his left foot, rubbed it lightly, and passed it behind Qi Wu.
At this time, Gerrard, who didn't know when he suddenly stepped forward, suddenly appeared behind Qi Wu, and after catching up with the ball first, he was directly in the top of the arc of the penalty area, pulling out his legs and shooting.
The ball went over the head of the onrushing goalkeeper Doni and into the Roma goal.
Two to zero!
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"Five minutes, five minutes!"
"Liverpool scored two goals in five minutes, both of which were assists from Yang Yang!"
"My God, he's clearly facing away from the middle, but how did he see Gerrard in the back? Could it be that Yang Yang has a pair of eyes on the back of his head? ”
'It was a clever pass, a curling line, past Zivu, and Gerrard just had to pull his leg and shoot.
"The assist from Yang Yang, Gerrard's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, once again penetrated the Roma goal!"
"Two to zero!"
……
Steven Gerrard was the first to burst out of the pitch.
Liverpool's players also chased after each other to celebrate their goal.
"I knew you kid would be able to see me!"
For his teammate Yang Yang who assisted him to score, Gerrard also did not hesitate to praise him, hugged his teammate vigorously, and shouted loudly, "For this assist, I will waive your rent for half a year!" ”
Everyone else also congratulated and admired Yang Yang's assist just now.
It was completely unexpected because he was facing to the left to receive the ball and couldn't see Gerrard behind him, but he just passed it over and it was just right.
To say that this is a coincidence is too far-fetched, but to say that he did it on purpose is also a bit unbelievable.
Yang Yang didn't explain either.
Sometimes, it's also good to maintain some mystery.
…………
…………
After scoring two goals in a row, Liverpool completely beat their morale.
Rome, on the other hand, seems a little confused and doesn't know what to do.
It was at this point that Liverpool once again hit the counter-attack.
Aurelio advanced with the ball on the left and passed diagonally to Steven Gerrard in the middle.
Gerrard rushed forward with the ball, and then suddenly distributed to Yang Yang on the left side.
After Yang Yang won the ball, a clever pendulum passed, forced a break through Cassetti on the left side, and went down to the bottom line and crossed to the goal.
Crouch followed up with a close-range header and the ball went in!!!
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”
"Third assist!"
"This is Yang Yang's third assist!"
"Oh my God, he scored a hat-trick in less than twenty minutes!"
"Three to zero! Liverpool launched a furious attack in just ten minutes. ”
"Roma are defeated on the road!"
"Spalletti should have to stabilize his team as soon as possible, otherwise, with Liverpool's current momentum, Roma will have to concede again sooner or later."
…………
…………
After scoring three goals in a row, the entire Anfield stadium was completely boiling.
Liverpool's players are also playing their form and playing their rhythm.
The ensuing game was completely reversed.
Liverpool reversed the passivity of the opening game and frequently launched attacks on Roma.
In particular, left winger Yang Yang was very active.
Two minutes after Crouch's third goal, Yang Yang once slid past Cassetti and fired a left-footed shot just wide of the post, followed by a shot from outside the box that was saved by goalkeeper Doni.
Liverpool are very active, but Roma are not far behind.
After conceding three goals in a row, the Red Wolves seemed to be provoked, without thinking about defending at all, and continued to attack Liverpool, and the manager on the sidelines, Spalletti, was also helpless about it.
Soon, the results of the confrontation came out.
When Yang Yang got the ball on the left side, he suddenly shook off Cassetti, cut to the middle with the ball, grabbed ahead of De Rossi, and passed diagonally with his right foot behind the defense line, falling directly to the back of the goal.
Kuyt slashed diagonally into the box and got ahead of everyone before heading the ball into the Roma goal from close range.
Four to zero!
……
"Oh God! Four goals! ”
"Liverpool's four goals are all from Yang Yang's assists!"
"My guess is that he forgot to bring his shooting boots today, but he put on the assist boots!"
"It's unbelievable!"
"Yang Yang led Liverpool to launch an incredible wave of offensives."
"In the 34th minute of the first half, Liverpool led Roma 4-0!"
'It was definitely a result that no one expected before the game, with the Red Wolves losing at Anfield.
"Yang Yang, who contributed to the assist, became the most dazzling player in the game, although he did not score, but every time he ran and touched the ball, he created excellent shooting opportunities for Liverpool players, and he himself also had a few very good shooting opportunities, but unfortunately, he only had the luck of assists tonight, and the shooting luck seemed to be a little worse."
"But no matter what, Yang Yang is still the most eye-catching focus on the court!"
"Don't believe me? Then listen to the shouts from the Anfield fans! ”
……
In the voice of more than 50,000 fans in the stadium, even though Liverpool has a four-goal lead, it still keeps attacking Roma, especially Yang Yang.
He really wanted to score a goal.
But tonight, he didn't seem to be so in tune with the goal, and it always felt like he was a little bit worse.
Rome wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, though.
Even though they were four goals behind, the Red Wolves still persistently launched an offensive towards Liverpool without the slightest intention of backing down.
It's not at all like the style of an Italian team!
