725 Finale Lore
On the afternoon of March 22, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool.
In the thirtieth round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Aston Villa.
After a week's rest, Liverpool took on the Birmingham side with their strongest squad.
Just two minutes into the game, Yang Yang planned a very threatening offensive on the left flank, forming a corner.
In the eighth minute, it was Yang Yang who made a steal on Leo Cork in the front, and after the bottom cross, he created chaos in the Aston Villa penalty area, Gerrard and Crouch attacked the goal with their feet, but they were blocked by the opposing defenders, and finally Kuyt picked up a big bargain in front of the goal, calmly pushed and hit, 1-0.
Then in the 33rd minute, goalkeeper Reina kicked the ball off, Yang Yang quickly countered offside successfully, inserted into Aston Villa's penalty area, volleyed at the penalty spot, and scored Aston Villa's goal again, 2-0.
This is also Yang Yang's 38th Premier League goal this season!
Before Yang Yang, the most goals scored in a single season in the Premier League was 34 goals, and now every goal scored by Yang Yang is creating a record in the history of the Premier League, which also makes the Liverpool fans on the scene feel extremely excited.
Only six minutes after the goal, it was Yang Yang's performance after winning the ball on the left side, driving all the way into the Aston Villa penalty area, and was tripped by Leo Koke, the referee gave a penalty, Yang Yang gave courtesy, and Gerrard made it in one fell swoop.
Three to zero!
After the rematch in the second half, Liverpool played more comfortably, and Aston Villa were unable to shake Liverpool.
First, Xavi Alonso assisted Gerrard with a free-kick, then Gerrard made a direct stop, Yang Yang created a penalty in the penalty area, and even Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel was sent off for tripping Yang Yang.
Steven Gerrard scored another penalty and scored a hat-trick!
In the end, Liverpool beat Aston Villa 5-0 at home.
The whole game was uneventful, and it was under Liverpool's solid control from start to finish, and Aston Villa's overall strength dropped a lot after losing Gareth Barry.
On the contrary, in this game, Gareth Barry, who started in place of Mascherano, was very active.
……
With a 6-1 win at Manchester United and now a 5-0 win over Aston Villa, Liverpool's recent form has been surprising.
But at Craven Cottage in London, Manchester United didn't do as well as Liverpool.
In this round of games, the Red Devils Manchester United challenged Fulham away, but the main central defender Vidic was suspended for a red card.
Alex Ferguson lined up a backline duo of Patrice Evra, Evans, Rio Ferdinand and O'Shea, hoping that Evans could make up for Nemanja Vidic's absence.
I don't know if it was affected by the 1-6 defeat, Manchester United's momentum in this game was very bad, and the state was quite sluggish, without the fearsome spirit of the past, and even made mistakes one after another.
In the eighteenth minute, Fulham were awarded a corner, and after Simon Davies sent a corner, Hangeland's header was blocked, Zamora headed in again, and Scholes was in front of the goal line, blocking Zamora's effort with his hand.
The referee was aware of the situation and awarded Fulham another penalty and sent Scholes off for a red card.
This is the second consecutive red card for Manchester United.
Former Liverpool midfielder Daniel Murphy then opened the scoring for Fulham.
Both teams then played in a slump, with United showing a serious lack of aggressiveness.
Fulham had a total of 10 shots on goal in the first half, while United had only two shots on target, and none of them were on target.
It wasn't until the 87th minute that Fulham formed a three-on-two with a quick counter-attack, Andy Johnson crossed from the right, and Guerra stopped the ball and volleyed home to lock the score at 2-0.
Just a minute later, Rooney lost control of his emotions and was shown a yellow card by the referee for an unnecessary kick that had already been given to him.
With two games and three red cards, Alex Ferguson's side suffered their worst blow in recent years.
Ferguson said publicly after the game that United were sluggish throughout the game, as if they didn't start.
But despite this, Ferguson still believes that there are still eight rounds of the league, and Manchester United will not give up until the last minute.

…………
After the thirtieth round of the Premier League, Yang Yang and many international players who stayed abroad immediately took off from London and returned to China.
At 20 o'clock in the evening of April 1, the Chinese team sat at home to face Uzbekistan.
This is the key battle of Group A of the top 10 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa, as long as this one is won, the Chinese team will advance in advance.
Yang Yang, who has been in excellent form recently, also performed very well in this game, playing for 70 minutes, passing and shooting, helping the Chinese team defeat Uzbekistan 2-0 at home and advance to the World Cup in South Africa.
This once again triggered praise from the domestic media and fans.
Everyone can see that Yang Yang is the core competitiveness of the current Chinese team.
……
On the afternoon of April 4th, Craven Farm Field, London.
In the 31st round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Fulham away.
The west London team, who had just knocked Manchester United down, were once again very brave, and they played Liverpool 0-0 in the first hour or so.
Yang Yang was named in the squad for this game, but he was on the bench because he had just returned home in midweek, and Benitez and the coaching staff were more hopeful that he would be able to recharge his energy for the midweek game against Chelsea.
With a change of manager in February, with Scolari sacking and Dutch boss Guus Hiddink in charge, Chelsea's performances have improved dramatically, and Hiddink's coaching ability is evident.
But in this game, Liverpool was also quite anxious.
Especially when Benitez replaced Gareth Bale in the 65th minute, the team's frontcourt attack still did not improve, so in the 76th minute, Yang Yang took the initiative to ask Ying, hoping to play.
The game was indeed very tough, Fulham's defence was very solid, and the 61-year-old coach Roy Hodgson, nicknamed Fulham's Mourinho by Fulham fans, was known for his tenacious defence, especially at his home turf.
When Yang Yang came on the field, Hodgson arranged for the Fulham defenders to force Yang Yang closely, which made Yang Yang play very awkwardly, and the team's overall offense was difficult to get opportunities, so that after Yang Yang came on the field, there was no improvement on the field.
But for this situation, Yang Yang also has long experience in dealing with it.
As Louis van Gaal once told him, the more critical it is that you should stay calm.
So, he ran patiently, looking for an opportunity.
All the way up to ......
……
'Liverpool are attacking again.'
'Xavi Alonso quickly split the ball to the left, Gareth Bale dribbled the ball, advanced down the left and crossed into the box.
"Gerrard plugged in......"
"Hangrande was a great deal, taking the most powerful position and clearing the ball."
"But the ball didn't fly far and landed at the feet of Yang Yang at the top of the arc of the penalty area......"
"Yang Yang, look at this ......"
"Knock a defender and hit the goal!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
"Yang Yang !!!"
"In the second minute of stoppage time, in the ninety-second minute of the game, Yang Yang used a right-footed curling ball at the top of the penalty area to break through Fulham's goal, 1-0!"
"It's a real finale!"
……
Before Yang Yang could run out, he was already thrown to the ground by Gerald and the others behind him.
One by one, the Liverpool players rushed over.
These people struggled to suppress Fulham for an hour and a half, kept searching and testing, and tried all kinds of methods, but they never managed to break through Fulham's goal.
Even, in the ten minutes or so that Yang Yang came on as a substitute, the situation of the game did not change, and everyone thought that this game was likely to end here, and Liverpool got a draw away.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Fulham's clearance gave Yang Yang a chance, and he calmly grasped it!
……
"This is a manifestation of Yang Yang's personal ability!"
"When the ball suddenly came to him, his reaction was to dunk the defender and hit it straight away!"
"Not to mention Liverpool this time, even the goalkeeper of Fulham was very surprised and could not react."
"It's too sudden, but the angle of the shot is tricky."
…………
…………
In the end, Liverpool narrowly defeated Fulham 1-0 away by virtue of Yang Yang's finale.
In the other stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace to help United win 3-2 at home to Aston Villa.
The Portuguese opened the scoring in the opening eleven minutes, but then Aston Villa scored twice in quick succession to complete the comeback.
Ronaldo scored again in the 80th minute to equalise the score.
In the third minute of stoppage time, the 93rd minute of the game, teenager Macheda scored a stunning goal to give Manchester United a narrow 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 thanks to goals from Frank Lampard and Malouda.
Following the defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in early February, followed by a 0-0 draw at home to Hull, Scolari was sacked and Guus Hiddink took over, Chelsea came out of the crisis with five wins and one defeat in the six league games that followed.
In the Champions League, it also eliminated Juventus with a record of 1-0 at home and 2-2 away with an aggregate score of 3-2 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
As the saying goes, a change of manager is like a change of knife, Chelsea brought in Guus Hiddink, the dressing room at Stamford Bridge was re-stabilized, and the fighting spirit of the players was boosted, which also made everyone look forward to the next quarter-finals.
Chelsea's strong dialogue results this season are a mess, but Hiddink, as a famous coach in Europe and even the world, is also obvious to all, and even many people are expecting Hiddink to lead Chelsea to turn the deficit around.
Sniping at Liverpool, this is also the common expectation of countless people in European football!
