667 Be careful!
"Yang Yang didn't get a chance on the left side and was forced to pass back to the midfielder."
"Manchester United laid down heavy troops on their right side, especially after taking the lead, Liverpool attacked fiercely, Yang Yang played very threatening on the left, not only Weiss Brown was suppressed and could not move, even Carrick and Rooney had to retreat to defend."
'Gareth Barry took the ball, passed it back to the middle and gave it to Xavi Alonso.
"Look here, Liverpool's attack is back again."
"Yang Yang has a very large running range, and he suddenly starts to cut inside."
"Xavi Alonso goes forward, Yang Yang knocks back ......"
"Beautiful one-two, Xavi Alonso kicks directly from the edge of the penalty area......"
'Manchester United's defence was also quite tight, the ball hit Rio Ferdinand and bounced to the right.
"Still at the feet of Liverpool, Benayoun ...... the ball"
……
Benayoun received the ball unmarked and looked up at the box where he saw Kuyt, Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso, with Kuyt being the most threatening as he happened to be in the most threatening area in the middle.
The Israeli midfielder stopped the ball and sent in a cross without thinking.
The ball went past Patrice Evra and into the middle of the penalty area.
Kuyt grabbed the most powerful position, blocked Vidic behind him with his body, and chased after him.
But at this critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly abandoned the goal, rushed out of the small penalty area first, jumped high, and shot the ball.
It was clear that the Dutch goalkeeper was not sure to pick up the cross after Kuyt's interference.
The ball didn't fly far and Van der Sar played towards Wiss Brown on the right.
Brown's attention fell on the ball, and because the ball from Van der Sar was neither high nor low, it was very difficult to deal with, so he was waiting for the ball to hit the ground and cleared it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, before the ball reached the front, Wills Brown heard a reminder from his teammates next to him.
"Be careful!"
Before he could tell who it was, Brown felt a figure in front of him, a figure in a red jersey rushing ahead of him, pushing the falling ball forward with his head......
Brown reacted, only to see his back.
On the back of that red jersey was the giant white Arabic numeral 11, and on top of the number was the English letters YANG!
"Damn it!" Brown was shocked.
But Yang Yang reacted faster, after taking the first header, he caught up with his right foot and stopped, and kicked out with his left foot, the whole process was very neat and neat, without any stagnation, as if it was done in one go.
The ball quickly slipped from behind Vidic and Edwin van der Sar and into the unguarded goal.
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"In the thirtieth minute, in the thirtieth minute, Liverpool finally equalized!"
"Yang Yang! Goal from Yang Yang! ”
'It was undoubtedly a crucial goal, Yang Yang, who wore the Liverpool captain's armband for the first time, was very active throughout the first half, he was the most dangerous player on the pitch and also equalised for Liverpool.
"One to one, the two sides are back on the same starting line."
……
After Yang Yang scored, the whole person quickly rushed out of the penalty area, spread his arms all the way, like a glider, flying over Anfield Stadium, receiving cheers from more than 50,000 Liverpool fans in the stands.
He was also very excited!
In the end, Yang Yang stood under the KOP stands and looked at the already crazy group of Liverpool fans in the stands.
Soon, Xavi Alonso, Kuyt and other teammates also chased after him, surrounding Yang Yang from behind and left and right, and everyone was cheering for his goal.
At 1-1, Liverpool finally equalised.
It was really not easy for the whole first half.
After conceding in just three minutes, United began to adopt tenacious defensive counter-attacking tactics, which caused a lot of problems for Liverpool, even though Yang Yang was very active and created a lot of dangerous chances, but he was never able to break through the Manchester United goal.
And now, Yang Yang personally stepped out and equalized.
The race was back on the same starting line, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"Calm down, don't rush, there's still an hour left in the game, we don't want a draw, we want to win!"
Yang Yang hugged his teammates left and right hard, and he couldn't tell who the people around him were, anyway, as long as they were wearing red jerseys, they were their own people.
"With us, we have to let Manchester United walk in and lie down and go out!"
Yang Yang's loud encouragement boosted the morale of his teammates.
Especially after the equaliser.
Yang Yang noticed Xavi Alonso, walked over and gently patted his wet face, and then patted Gareth Barry on the shoulder.
Both players are older than him, but they are not as good on the pitch as they are in the dressing room, and today he is the captain on the pitch and plays the role of leader.
In fact, Liverpool's midfield was well organised after conceding a goal, especially as the game progressed and players such as Xavi Alonso and Gareth Barry gradually stepped into the role.
The attack in the front court is based on Yang Yang as the core, everyone revolves around him to play, Yang Yang is active, Manchester United has to turn to defense, Liverpool players will get more space and opportunities, and naturally they will play.
But the Red Devils are not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after conceding a goal and suffering a miserable equaliser, United still adopted a defensive strategy.
Ferguson knows very well that Liverpool's midfield is very strong, especially the combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, and the addition of Gareth Barry has made Liverpool's midfield even more powerful.
…………
…………
Over the next 10 minutes or so, Liverpool made a couple of impressive attacks but were unable to find the back of the net for United, while the Reds counter-attacked but failed to threaten.
Back in the dressing room, Rafael Benitez was pleased with the performance of his players in the first half, especially the self-adjustment that allowed the team to quickly return to normal after conceding a goal.
In fact, everyone knows that Benitez is not naming Yang Yang, the captain on the field.
'There was a very serious problem with our attack in the first half when we didn't create any decent chances on the right flank, and the only time was to create a goal.
Benitez looked at Benayoun and was clearly reminding the Israelis that they should be more proactive in the second half.
Pennant is Liverpool's master of crosses on the right side, and this player has always been valued by Benitez, but sometimes Pennant is not disciplined enough and often causes trouble, so gradually, Bennant began to prefer to use the more creative Benayoun, and this game started Benayoun.
Of course, if Crouch had a starter, he would probably have used Pennant because he was a threat with his cross from the right.
'From what I've observed, Rooney is starting to run a little bit harder, so if we have the chance, we should be a little more daring on the wings.
"I can tell you that in the second half, Ferguson will definitely focus on Yang Yang on the left side to defend, he alone can't solve the problem, Aurelio, you should work harder."
The Brazilian left wing-back nodded heavily, his focus in the first half was on Rooney, and even when Rooney dropped back to participate in the defense, he did not dare to press too much for fear of making a mistake.
"Also, Manchester United's defensive focus is on the right side, so their left side is prone to problems, especially when Carrick frequently moves closer to the left side, the front of their defense is on the right side, which will be weak, we didn't use it enough in the first half, and we should pay attention in the second half."
Speaking of which, Benitez looked at Xavi Alonso and Benayoun, "Benayoun has to run more into the middle and pass the ball behind him, while Xavi Alonso has to go more to this side. ”
Yang Yang attracts the attention of the defence and gets more chances in the middle and on the right, which has always been Liverpool's forte.
But the problem was that Gerrard was out, Crouch was injured, Kuyt was forced to move to the middle, and Benayoun still didn't feel bold enough on the right, which led to a heavy left-sided shift in Liverpool's attack in the first half.
To put it simply, it is completely dependent on Yang Yang.
Interestingly, the only goal came from Benayoun's cross on the right, which caused Van der Sar to attack, which caused chaos in the Manchester United penalty area, and Yang Yang seized the opportunity.
Therefore, what happens on the football field is always the result of chance and inevitability.
…………
…………
After the rematch in the second half, Manchester United made the first substitution adjustment.
Surprisingly, Ferguson replaced Carrick with Ryan Giggs.
It was a very puzzling substitution as United then switched to a four-four-two, with Wayne Rooney being pulled back to the right of midfield and Ryan Giggs playing on the left.
But even then, there was no need to replace Carrick.
Therefore, the on-site commentator believes that Carrick is likely injured and has to be replaced.
It's fair that Liverpool also got three or four injuries.
After Carrick's departure, Manchester United changed their formation, but Liverpool still used the tactics of the first half, chasing the Red Devils fiercely.
Ferguson obviously strengthened his marking of Yang Yang, and after Rooney retreated, he defended more resolutely, and Weiss Brown almost always aimed at freezing Yang Yang, and Anderson also frequently assisted in defense on this side.
Rafa Benitez was quick to respond, with the two full-backs starting to move forward more aggressively, with Gareth Barry and Xavi Alonso pushing forward in addition to Mascherano who was lagging behind.
Liverpool began to suppress Manchester United, and the Reds created chances frequently.
First, Yang Yang crossed from the left, but Kuyt failed to grab the landing point, then Yang Yang's wonderful pass Aurelio shot wide, and then Yang Yang and Kuyt cooperated, Xavi Alonso shot from a distance, slightly wide, and then Benayoun crossed from the right, Gareth Barry's header was ferried, and Kuyt's long-range shot was saved by Van der Sar.
However, United were not without a counter-attack, and in the 55th minute, United counter-attacked but could not find the Liverpool penalty area, and Paul Scholes failed to threaten with a long-range shot from 25 yards out.
Liverpool are starting to dominate on the field.
