704 is unstoppable
On the evening of January 28, Robin Park, Wigan, Greater Manchester, J** Stadium.
A key match in the 23rd round of the Premier League was contested at J** Stadium, with Liverpool away to Wigan Athletic.
The home team is a team with a strong Manchester United flavor, and the manager is former Manchester United legend Steve Bruce, who is regarded as the most accomplished coach of all Ferguson disciples.
In the summer of '07, Wigan Athletic resigned after the thrilling relegation, Paul Jewell, who led the team to the Premier League, and in the following six months, Wigan Athletic changed three managers in a row, until Steve Bruce stabilized and led the team to 14th place in the league.
And this season, Steve Bruce has shown his excellent results in leading the team, after the 22nd round, Wigan Athletic is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League, and the results are quite impressive.
This team is characterized by a lack of attacking ability, but defending quite well, especially at their home turf.
In the current Wigan Athletic team, there are also many old acquaintances of Yang Yang at Ajax, such as De Lidl on the Dutch wing, and Egyptian striker Ahmed Hassan Mido.
That's right, it was the legend who once threw a pair of scissors at Ibrahimovic in the dressing room of Ajax, which frightened the whole Ajax and was sent out of Detokmost.
After leaving Ajax, he has played for Celta Vigo, Marseille, Roma, Tottenham Hotspur and Middlesbrough.
The loan loan completed on January 20, and on the 28th, Meadow started for Wigan Athletic against Liverpool, which shows how much Steve Bruce values him.
For the talented player who was once as famous as Ibrahimovic, Yang Yang reminded his teammates not to be careless.
Sometimes players don't perform well, not because of their own lack of quality, but because of a variety of other reasons, such as personality, and this is undoubtedly the case with Mido.
……
After the start of the game, Wigan Athletic played not risky, although they were at home.
This is Steve Bruce's coaching style, no matter what the situation, it is steady.
Wigan Athletic were the first to threaten Liverpool's goal six minutes later when Rodalega's free-kick grazed the post and almost found the back of the net for Reina.
A minute later, a long pass from the backfield, Reina rashly attacked, and Mido seized the opportunity.
The Egyptian striker did exactly as Yang Yang had warned before the game, flashing when he got his chance, heading a header from the edge of the box into the empty net, but fortunately Aurelio returned to the goal line at a crucial moment to clear the ball and defuse a crisis.
With two successive attacks creating a threat, Wigan Athletic proved that they are not the underdogs that everyone is trying to figure out.
But Liverpool are better overall.
In the sixteenth minute, Yang Yang took the ball on the left side and forced a breakthrough, after rushing into the penalty area with the ball, under the opponent's left and right sandwiches, when the body was about to lose its center of gravity, he kicked the ball to the back point, and Dutch striker Kuyt followed up and calmly volleyed to open the scoring for Liverpool.
Liverpool then continued their offensive towards Wigan Athletic.
In the 26th minute, Gerrard suddenly appeared on the left side, and after a beautiful two-over-one collision with Yang Yang, he suddenly crossed horizontally, and Crouch pushed the goal seven meters in front of the goal in the penalty area, 2-0!
Liverpool, with their strong overall strength, continue to firmly suppress Wigan Athletic.
Especially in the final stage of the first half, Liverpool, who had a two-goal lead, still played quite energetically.
Yang Yang was quite active on the left side, first Crouch's pass caused the Wigan Athletic defender to stop the ball wrong, Yang Yang curled the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, which was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and Gerrard followed up to hit the shot.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Gerrard passed the ball, Yang Yang connected two players on the left side, once again dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and scored with a low shot from 12 meters in front of the goal.
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, when the game was about to end, Yang Yang scored a goal!"
In the live TV footage, Yang Yang turned around and rushed out of the stadium as soon as he scored a goal, all the way to the corner flagpole on the sidelines, and celebrated his goal excitedly.
"After giving one assist and two indirect assists, Yang Yang finally couldn't help himself."
'It's his 29th Premier League goal of the season!'
"Scoring 29 Premier League goals in 23 rounds, this report card is enough to make Yang Yang proud."
"What's even more rare is that he's also got 16 assists this season."
Liverpool's players also chased after Yang Yang and congratulated him on his goal in this game.
Although this is a tacit understanding on the football field, it is not difficult to see from the expressions of every Liverpool player that they respect Yang Yang and even appreciate it from the heart.
"Liverpool have been making great progress on all fronts this season, and Yang Yang is definitely the number one contributor to the team."
"And unlike previous years, Yang Yang's performance this season is very stable, and even the Christmas and winter breaks, which he couldn't adapt to in previous years, have performed even better this season."
……
After Yang Yang made a pass and a shot, and orchestrated two other goals, Liverpool ended the first half with a score of 4-0.
After the second half of the rematch, Liverpool obviously intended to slow down the offensive, and Yang Yang was also replaced early, because after playing this game on the evening of the 28th, February 1 will usher in the 24th round of the Premier League, Liverpool's home game against Chelsea, Benitez obviously does not want the team to spend too much energy on a team like Wigan Athletic.
In the 88th minute of the game, Mido's shot was blocked by Gareth Bale, and then Wigan Athletic sent a corner kick, and the box fell into a scuffle, the Liverpool defender cleared not far away, Mido volleyed the ball into the Liverpool goal from a small angle, and saved face for Wigan Athletic.
In the end, Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 4-1 away.
Yang Yang made one pass and one shot, and planned two goals at the same time, becoming the best player of the game.
……
In the other games of the round, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace with the last two goals after West Bromwich Albion were sent off an early red card and United smashed the bloomers 5-0 away.
Chelsea, on the other hand, beat Middlesbrough 2-0 at home thanks to a brace from Kalou.
Only the Gunners Arsenal held Everton to a hard-fought 1-1 draw away from home, with Robin van Persie scoring the finale in the 92nd minute.
The weakness of the Gunners is indeed embarrassing, and anyone can see that Arsene Wenger's side no longer have the strength to dominate the Premier League.
…………
…………
On the afternoon of February 1, it snowed heavily.
Liverpool host Chelsea.
The Reds at home, with Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt as the arrows, and Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano as the midfield, all put pressure on Chelsea and firmly controlled the situation on the pitch.
What's even more gratifying is that Liverpool have been unable to attack for a long time in the dominant situation, but they have not lost patience, which has finally paid off for the team.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Yang Yang took the ball on the left side, cooperated with Aurelio who came up to assist, and after passing back, he cut horizontally, and Aurelio passed the ball horizontally.
After Yang Yang got the ball, he quickly shook off Terry, and curled the ball with his right foot and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"Yang Yang! It's Yang Yang again! ”
"At the critical moment, it was Yang Yang who stepped forward and hit the goal with a wonderful right-footed curling ball to break through the goal guarded by Cech."
"One to zero!"
"This is Yang Yang's thirtieth Premier League goal this season!"
"Oh my God, twenty-four rounds, thirty goals, he's unstoppable!"
……
More than 50,000 fans across the Anfield stadium cheered in unison as the ball looped into the top right-hand corner of the Chelsea goal.
The whole stadium resounded with the shouts of the fans, and Yang Yang was thundering, rushing all the way out of the stadium in the goose feather snow, rushing to the sidelines, and opening his arms to the Liverpool fans in the stands.
"This is Yang Yang!"
"He's unbelievable!"
'From running to receiving the ball, to turning around, to hitting the goal, the whole process was all in one go and it was hard for Terry to stop him.
"Yang Yang has continued to improve this season and we can see that his form is getting better and better, especially after the grind of Christmas and the winter break, he seems to be getting more and more unstoppable."
……
After the rematch in the second half, the left side of Yang Yang and Aurelio was still the most active area for Liverpool's attack.
In the 54th minute, it was another attack from the left side, Yang Yang cut inside with the ball to the middle, and after encountering Chelsea's stubborn sniping, he suddenly passed the ball back to the left side and quickly rushed to the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Aurelio went straight to the bottom, broke through Bosingva, and crossed from the left to the front point.
Yang Yang did not have an advantage in height, but he blocked Terry with his body, grabbed the most advantageous position, and headed the ball into the near corner!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!”
"Two to zero!"
"Yang Yang scored twice!"
The whole Anfield stadium went crazy!
The enthusiasm of the Liverpool fans seemed to melt even the snow.
Who would have thought that Yang Yang's state would be getting better and better.
Chelsea, on the other hand, continued their winless run this season, with the right side of the game being completely blown out by Liverpool's left.
Frank Lampard then went too far in defence and showed his foot on the bottom of his foot when he tackled Xavi Alonso, and was shown a red card by referee Riley and sent off the pitch.
Then, in an attack by Liverpool, when Benayoun was backing the ball from the corner, Bosingwa rushed up from behind, kicked him in the back, knocked him over, and was sent off again.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-0 thanks to Yang Yang's brace.
Not only did the Blues lose, they also received two red cards.
