As it was the 50th anniversary of Bobby Charlton's debut for Manchester United, Manchester United held a special ceremony before the game, and the club also presented Bobby Charlton with a commemorative trophy.

Bobby Charlton also presented Paul Scholes with a commemorative trophy before the game, after making 500 appearances for Manchester United.

Therefore, today's double red meeting is not only a continuation of the century-old showdown between the two traditional giants of the Premier League, but also a rare gathering, the gathering of the two giants, Manchester United is full of celebrities, even if it is Liverpool who is playing away, and many celebrities including Roger Hunt have been dispatched.

The chairman's stand became a gathering place for the two celebrities, and as the game began, the topic of hot conversation gradually shifted to the game itself, especially the two most popular stars of the two teams, Cristiano Ronaldo and Yang Yang.

It was no surprise that after taking a one-goal lead, United took advantage of the win.

It's always been Manchester United's style.

"Even though it hasn't been a league title for three years, Ferguson's team is still so domineering, and this trait is unique in the entire Premier League and even in European football."

"Who's to say it isn't? The results have been sluggish in the past three years, and if I had changed to other teams, I am afraid that it would have languished a long time ago, but Ferguson has that ability, so that Manchester United is still domineering. ”

"The confidence and self-confidence built up by years of excellent results will not die in a short period of time, not to mention that Ferguson is still the head coach of the team, with him, the soul of Manchester United is there, I believe that even if he is given a second-rate player in the Premier League, he can still win the championship."

"This kind of thing, other teams, other managers can't envy, only Ferguson can do it."

Liverpool's name is a little envious, while Manchester United's name is more proud, because Alex Ferguson's team is indeed a big alternative to European professional football.

Even Arsene Wenger's Arsenal can't compete with Manchester United.

There will probably never be a second Ferguson in the history of world football.

He now sees Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo as the cornerstones of the team's restructuring, and the Portuguese has also been impressive this season, scoring in the opening five minutes, dribbling, long-range shots, headers in front of goal, free-kicks...... He's pretty much omnipotent, and he's really powerful. ”

"In contrast, Rooney has been a bit of a bit overpowered by him lately."

Most of the celebrities are British and are closer to Rooney, but it cannot be denied that Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed overpowering Rooney's homegrown Rooney in the limelight of the team now.

"He's still relatively immature, and he needs to be carved again." Bobby Charlton said with a smile, "You see now, you can't deny that he was in good shape in this game, but it was precisely because he was in such good form and his personal performance was too active that the team began to revolve around him, consciously or unconsciously. ”

Hearing Bobby Charlton say this, everyone really noticed this phenomenon.

Beckenbauer once said that on the football field, the strongest point is often the weakest point.

When Cristiano Ronaldo is almost omnipotent, when the Portuguese put on a solo show on the pitch, United's overall attacking approach is still too monotonous, almost all of them are playing the Portuguese.

Benitez was also aware of the problem and immediately targeted the defense.

The Portuguese is preoccupied with dribbling forward, how to break through, how to create a threat, and even a lot of the time he chooses to hit the ball himself rather than watch his team-mates, which not only makes it easier for Liverpool to defend, but also embarrassing for United's midfielders.

It's hard to say whether the rest of United's players are out of form or influenced by Cristiano Ronaldo's activism, but on the pitch all the sights are that United's attacking play turned into a personal show for the Portuguese.

And Cristiano Ronaldo's solo show often ends in a hasty kick or a breakthrough blocked, which is quite unreasonable.

"Football is always a game of eleven, one person can't lead the whole team, at least Cristiano Ronaldo is not good now, so he needs to play more teamly."

As soon as Bobby Charlton finished speaking, many other celebrities also nodded.

Those who can sit in this position are all those who have played football for decades and have dealt with football all their lives, so they can naturally see the way out, and even guess the deep meaning behind it.

'Ferguson still seems to be very dependent on him and doesn't want to control his thoughts.'

Bobby Charlton nodded, "It's hard to say exactly, but there are generally only two possibilities, either Ferguson is old and dizzy, or he thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo has value worth his investment." ”

Everyone was a little surprised.

Of course, Ferguson can't be old-eyed, he is a thief, so it can only be the latter.

Developing young players has always been Ferguson's forte, and for him to be so laissez-faire, everyone is curious, how much potential is hidden in this Portuguese?

I've already lost a league game to Arsenal because of this, so do we have to take another risk?

You know, Liverpool is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

At least in the Red Army, there is also a Yang Yang who is not inferior in the slightest, and even better than Cristiano Ronaldo.

…………

…………

Yang Yang patiently looked for opportunities on the court.

When Manchester United pressed heavily on the attack after falling behind by one goal, Liverpool's attacking burden was almost all on him.

He started to expand his range of activities, he integrated himself into the team as a whole, but at the same time, when the team needed him to play individually, whether it was to break through, to get the ball, to organise or to distribute the ball, he was able to play with ease, and he also showed his strengths.

Compared with the fancy Cristiano Ronaldo, Yang Yang's style is concise and quick, stable and reasonable.

This is the impression that everyone has formed about him since his debut at Ajax.

After conceding more than 10 minutes into the goal, Liverpool gradually settled their ground and the team began to find a familiar feeling.

The midfield trio were very effective in interception, and the two centre-backs at the back gradually adapted to United's style of playing with wide crosses.

Cristiano Ronaldo still has the ball frequently, but it is more of an individual performance and not much of a threat.

The midfield and backfield steadied themselves and the players up front began to get their chances.

First, Yang Yang's cross from the left flank allowed Kuyt to head in front of the back post, but it was saved by Van der Sar.

Then it was Yang Yang's through pass on the left rib that allowed Gerrard to hit the penalty area and volley wide.

In the 28th minute, Yang Yang had a chance to take the ball and face Gary Neville alone, trying to break through one-on-one, but when he passed, he was tripped directly by the more experienced Gary Neville.

Bol ran up quickly and showed a yellow card to Gary Neville.

The Manchester United captain did not argue, but took the initiative to reach out to Yang Yang, who was lying on the ground, pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder, and quickly stepped back.

Liverpool then whipped in a free-kick from Xavi Alonso and Carragher headed it over the target, but it couldn't get it on target.

The clock was fast into 30 minutes, and Liverpool were still behind Manchester United.

After about ten minutes of slowdown, United launched another fierce attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still the most dangerous Manchester United player on the pitch, and his performance is quite impressive, which makes the United fans in the stands almost shout out their throats and cheer him on.

And the enthusiasm from the fans undoubtedly further fueled Cristiano Ronaldo's excitement.

But the Portuguese seemed to be a little bit away from scoring, and there were very few who could actually break into the box, more often than long-range shots from outside the area, and from more than 20 meters away.

It's not hard to see how solid Liverpool's defence is.

In Liverpool's team, Yang Yang really experienced a sense of security that he had never felt in Ajax.

In the past, the team's backline was always a concern, whether in the Eredivisie or in Europe, Ajax was never known for their defensive ability.

Therefore, Yang Yang has often retreated to defend in the past three years.

But at Liverpool, Benitez gave him a simple request, which was to wait for an opportunity to counter-attack in the front.

Rush when you have the chance!

The Spaniard advocates a clear division of labor, and the task he gave Yang Yang was to attack, as for pressing the opponent's defence, intercepting and defending in the midfield, and how to pass the ball to Yang Yang's feet, that was what other Liverpool players did.

Yang Yang has always been a player who is very good at appreciating and executing the manager's intentions, and this game was no different.

After sprinting again and again, Yang Yang was already sweating.

But he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the opponent's penalty area.

That yellow card from Gary Neville just now is the best proof of that.

Manchester United then launched a counterattack, and the offensive skyrocketed, but Yang Yang also felt that Manchester United's defense was gradually pressing.

What does he do best?

Velocity!

Razor-sharp speed!

And his favorite situation is the opponent's defensive line pressing forward, leaving a large amount of space behind him.

It was a virgin land that he was allowed to run wild!

……

Cristiano Ronaldo tried to get past with his heel and was tripped by Mohamed Sissoko.

The referee ran over and gave Sissoko a yellow card and gave United another free-kick in front.

The Portuguese personally took the penalty, and Yang Yang went back to set up the human wall.

He was face to face with the Portuguese again, and he could feel the fierce fighting spirit projected in the eyes of the Portuguese on the other side when he looked at him, he looked full of fighting spirit, and the whole person was extremely excited, as if to say: Today, here, there can only be one winner, and that is me!

And the same sentence is exactly what Yang Yang wants to say to him.
