722 Another hat-trick!
"It's an indisputable red card."
"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Vidic did pull Yang Yang's pants when he couldn't grab Yang Yang, causing him to lose his balance and roll over to the ground, and he was the last defender, so it's normal to get a red card."
'Liverpool got a direct free-kick from the right side of the box.'
……
Yang Yang took Gerald's hand and got up from the ground.
The Liverpool captain looked very excited and patted Yang Yang's shoulder hard, as if he was excited about Yang Yang's performance.
A 2-1 win over Manchester United, and now the removal of Manuja Vidic, the heart of Manchester United's defence, would be a painful blow to United.
And in the first half, through the efforts of Yang Yang and Kuyt, Evra and Ferdinand also received yellow cards, which seemed to put a tight spell on both Manchester United players.
The current situation is too good for Liverpool.
"How? This ball...... Are you coming? Gerald asked tentatively.
This time, the free kick spot was quite close, and the location was close to the middle, so it was easier to play.
Yang Yang glanced at the goal, nodded, and walked over honestly and unceremoniously.
……
"Liverpool's free-kick."
"Gerrard and Yang Yang are both standing on the penalty spot, judging from the position of the two players, Yang Yang is on the right side of the ball, and Gerrard is behind the ball.
"Manchester United put together a wall of three players."
"The referee blows the whistle and looks at this time, Liverpool's free-kick."
"Yang Yang ......"
"The ball is in!!!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"
"Yang Yang took a direct free kick from the right side with his left foot, and Van der Sar didn't react to it, and it seemed that he felt very sudden."
"Before the game, we all knew that Yang Yang was a very good free kick master, but he used to use his right foot to take free throws, but this time, he chose to use his left foot to take this curling ball, and it was directly close, the play was very fast and sudden, and Van der Sar did not react."
"A brace! Yang Yang once again gave a very wonderful personal performance in this competition! ”
"Three to one, Manchester United are in a pretty bad situation right now, they are not only one less person than their opponents, but they are also two goals behind the opposition, which is definitely a terrible blow for Manchester United."
"And Liverpool's performance tonight was also very surprising to everyone, and we now have to admit that Benitez suddenly arranged Yang Yang to play in the middle before the game, which is indeed a very smart choice, and Yang Yang basically implemented Benitez's tactical intentions."
"Rio Ferdinand's yellow card, Nemanja Vidic's red card, were all created by Yang Yang, and now, Manchester United's situation is undoubtedly quite bad, it depends on how Ferguson adjusts at half-time."
……
In the Manchester United penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo turned his head and glanced at the ball inside the goal line, he sighed a little disappointed, his eyes full of helplessness.
He guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the process, let alone the ending.
For more than 20 minutes, the game was completely dominated by Manchester United, and by the moment the penalty was scored, everyone felt that United had basically won Liverpool and might even turn it into a big win.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yang then led Liverpool to launch a wave of attacks, scoring three goals in a row and creating a red card, which was like a nightmare for Manchester United.
In more than twenty minutes, the situation was completely reversed!
How to play in the second half?
Cristiano Ronaldo was at a loss as he couldn't think of a way to turn Liverpool back with one man less than his opponent and two goals behind at the same time.
The only hope is that Ferguson can pull off miracles.
But is it possible?
…………
…………
Liverpool returned to the visitors' dressing room with a three-1 lead.
This feeling of reversing the opponent on the home field of a mortal enemy is really cool and enjoyable.
In the locker room, everyone was dancing excitedly, and they all looked extremely excited.
Yang Yang is undoubtedly the number one contributor to the team's lead, with all three goals coming from his feet, but he has no pride at all at the moment, on the contrary, he feels that he has only further recognized Benitez today.
Nemanja Vidic is the focal point of United's defence, having been named United's best performer in the Champions League knockout game three days ago, as well as the most solid player at the back in two seasons.
In a way, Ferdinand is not as stable as Nemanja Vidic.
But such a player, under Benitez's strategy, has become the weakness of Manchester United.
Yang Yang is well aware that his personal performance and performance are certainly the reasons for this, but Benitez's tactical arrangement is equally important, and the two are complementary and indispensable.
But from this incident, Yang Yang began to realize that he had a further understanding of the skills and tactics of professional football.
……
Rafael Benitez walked into the dressing room with Yesterdam, but the pair didn't look as happy as the players had hoped.
The Spaniard was unceremoniously pointing out a couple of mistakes in the first half, including Ronaldo's penalty, and he felt there were problems in the defence between Carragher and Skrtel, and Reina's arrival was not timely enough.
In addition, Benitez also pointed out the problems of several other players, leaving everyone speechless.
That's Benitez's style.
Even though the team is now 3-1 ahead of their arch-rivals Manchester United, what he thinks about the most is how to do better.
Many people will be very unaccustomed to Benitez's approach, thinking that the team should be praised for doing well and criticised for not doing well, and that a 3-1 lead over rivals Manchester United like tonight should be affirmed and encouraged.
This is indeed one of Benitez's weaknesses, that is, he is too mechanical, even a little harsh, and believes in frustration education.
However, after Benitez pointed out the problems of the players, everyone also woke up from the ecstasy and excitement of leading in the first half, and saw that they were not playing so well, at this time, Yesterdam took the initiative to speak, giving the team's performance affirmation and encouragement, saying that the team had one more person than the opponent in the second half, and there would definitely be more chances.
"Maybe we'll take a big win from Old Trafford!" Jesterdam smiled expectantly.
These words suddenly made everyone in the locker room become enthusiastic again.
As a sworn enemy, being able to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford is a long-standing Liverpool quest.
Feeling that in the locker room, the mood of the players was improving, Yang Yang and Gerrard glanced at each other and smiled at each other.
That's where Paco Yesterdam comes in.
He is always in seemingly casual places, making up for Benitez's weaknesses and deficiencies.
…………
…………
After the restart-up in the second half, United made a substitution.
Centre-back Evans replaced Tevez and removed an attacking player to bolster the team's defence.
It is worth mentioning that Ferguson is also a bit too big in this game, because among the seven substitutes in his squad, except for goalkeeper Foster, only Evans is a defender, and all the others are attacking players in the midfield.
Benitez also quickly adjusted the team's formation according to Manchester United's substitutions, moving Kuyt to the middle of the front field and Yang Yang to the right winger position.
Obviously, Benitez clearly sees that continuing to put Yang Yang in the middle will not have much effect, because Ferguson has seen through Liverpool's intentions and will naturally make adjustments to this.
So, the task of entanglement with Ferdinand and Evans was transferred to Kuyt.
Ferguson's performance in the home dugout has become quite ugly after seeing Benitez's changes, but what can he say?
Looking at today's European football, who can be as comprehensive as Yang Yang?
Height of 1.83 meters, physical fitness and strength confrontation are not bad, fast speed, strong explosiveness, foot skills are very exquisite, can be competent for all positions of the front court attack, the most terrifying thing is that he is very proficient in both left and right feet.
It was like the final free-kick in the final moments of the first half, which he scored with his left foot.
If you are not familiar with him, you must think that he is a left-footed general, but who would have thought that this is his hard practice.
Therefore, in the face of Benitez's adjustment, Ferguson was also speechless, but there was nothing he could do.
……
After the start of the second half, Liverpool took advantage of their numerical advantage and began to attack Manchester United in turn.
In this kind of strong dialogue, having one more person than the opponent is quite a huge advantage.
In the 55th minute, Xavi Alonso split the ball to the left and Gareth Bale dribbled quickly along the left to counter-attack, which was so fast that O'Shea couldn't keep up.
When the Welsh winger rushed to the edge of the left corner of the penalty area, he got a glimpse of the situation, and the curling ball in the left corner was picked up and passed to the middle of the box.
Kuyt and Evans battled it out, with the Dutchman getting to the spot, but with his back to goal, Evans couldn't turn around, so he had to stop the ball to his right.
Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side of the Manchester United penalty area, and Evra, who was supposed to entangle him, didn't know when he lost it.
After catching up, Yang Yang met Kuyt's pass, directly pushed the ball, and sent it into the goal guarded by Van der Sar again, four to one!
"Hat-trick!"
"Oh my God, that's unbelievable!"
"Another hat-trick! This is already Yang Yang's hat trick in two consecutive games! ”
"Three days ago, he scored a hat-trick at Anfield to lead Liverpool to a 4-0 win over Real Madrid, and now, at Old Trafford, it's another hat-trick, 4-1 ahead of Manchester United!"
"Defeat is like a mountain!"
"Manchester United can really be said to be stormy now, Ferguson should come up with a way as soon as possible, otherwise it may really be a big score!"
