723 Miracles
Ferguson sat in the dugout with a gloomy face, and anyone could tell how he was feeling at the moment.
He was well aware that he had made a very stupid mistake, and that was the substitute list.
In his eighteen-man squad, there are no other defensive players other than Evans among the seven substitutes, which is very undeserved, especially when the game situation has developed to this point, and he really has no good solution.
Everyone knows that Liverpool is now very strong, not only has one more person on the field, completely dominates the situation, and morale is like a rainbow, but Manchester United is defeated, morale is almost collapsed, and it is necessary to come up with a more effective adjustment strategy as soon as possible to change the situation.
But there is no one in Ferguson's hands!
Giggs? Scholes? Nani? Berbatov?
Ferguson filtered through the benches in his mind before thinking of Darren Fletcher, a player to choose from, but a midfielder.
The old man knows he has made mistakes, and they are no less serious than Vidic, but as the head coach of the team, he cannot admit that he has made mistakes, and that would undermine his authority within the team.
So, he quickly made a substitution, and Fletcher replaced the non-existent Anderson.
The Brazilian midfielder came to Manchester United with the halo of Ronaldinho II, and was expected by everyone, but gradually, he seems to be developing in the direction of a defensive midfielder, and his play is becoming less and less satisfactory.
With two substitutions, Ferguson's intentions were clear, wanting to strengthen the team's midfield defence.
…………
…………
The game was largely under Liverpool's control.
After the replacement of Fletcher, Manchester United began to adopt a counter-attacking strategy of shrinking the defence, which also stabilized the situation to some extent.
But there is still one less player on the field than Liverpool, which makes the Red Devils Manchester United still in a very disadvantageous situation at home, especially as the game progresses, all the players are in a state of high tension, and there will inevitably be some mistakes that should not have happened.
In the 69th minute, United launched a fast attack, but failed to create a threat, and Ronaldo's hasty shot went straight to the stands, wasting a decent counter-attack opportunity.
Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna is in charge of serving the goal kick.
I only saw the Spanish goalkeeper directly with a big foot and passed the ball directly from the small penalty area to the right side of the front field.
Manchester United's defence is obviously a little tight, especially the young centre-back Evans, who has just come off the bench but is facing Yang Yang directly.
The two judged the fall and landing point of the ball at the same time, and Yang Yang interfered with Evans with his body.
The Manchester United youngster made a mistake in his busy schedule, failed to jump in time, and the ball leaked!
The whole process was almost the same as Vidic's previous mistakes, except that Vidic's long ball from Skrtel was a goal kick from goalkeeper Reina.
Yang Yang reacted quickly, and after seeing Evans leaking the top, he started as soon as possible, sprinting forward at the fastest speed, like a sharp arrow from the string, and quickly chased towards the goal.
Ferdinand became the backbone of Manchester United's defense after Nemanja Vidic was sent off with a red card, and in addition to defending Kuyt, he had long been wary of Yang Yang, and as soon as he saw Evans on the top, he also turned back and chased Yang Yang as soon as possible.
Manchester United's central defender wanted to suppress Yang Yang with his body, but Yang Yang was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he didn't give him such a chance at all.
The two had already competed several times in the previous League Cup final, and Ferdinand once took advantage, but also suffered a big loss, so he knows Yang Yang's difficulty better than anyone else.
Although he has an advantage in height and size, he knows very well that he may not be able to take advantage of Yang Yang.
When it comes to power confrontation, Yang Yang is completely different from other speed and technical players.
Ferdinand was prepared, and Yang Yang was no stranger to him, especially when he saw Van der Sar decisively abandon the goal, he already understood Ferdinand's strategy.
Manchester United's central defender had a yellow card and didn't dare to foul, so Yang Yang shouted, suddenly broke free from Ferdinand's entanglement, and quickly rebounded towards the ground in mid-air, the speed had been reduced, and the ball that was about to fall again, kicked out his right foot.
The instep of his right foot touched the ball firmly, and after a touch, the ball bounced high again and fell to the goal behind Van der Sar, but Yang Yang himself was almost unbalanced and fell to the ground by Ferdinand.
Van der Sar didn't expect Yang Yang to suddenly volley into the air, and after being shocked, the whole person kept retreating.
But the speed of the man could not keep up with the speed of the ball in any case, and when there was no way back, Van der Sar wanted to shoot the ball, but he could not get it, so he could only tilt his head and watch the ball fly behind him, while he lost his balance because of the retreat and fell crooked in the penalty area.
……
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"The ball is in again!!!!"
"God, Yang Yang's state tonight is like crazy, his recent state is really good!"
"Happy seniors! Yang Yang staged a big four! ”
……
In the dead silence of all the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Yang Yang roared loudly and turned and rushed out of the stadium, all the way to the corner flagpole in the corner of the stand where the Liverpool fans were, this time he opened his arms and slipped to his knees in front of the stands.
Liverpool's crowd is so small that United are reluctant to give their rivals tickets, but the cheers they are bursting out at this moment have overshadowed the entire Old Trafford stadium and all the United fans.
Yang Yang spread his arms, and behind him, the Liverpool players scrambled to catch up one by one.
Kuyt, who rushed up first, even hugged Yang Yang directly from behind, leaned over excitedly, and kissed him the cheek, but Yang Yang didn't react to this, and he was quickly hugged by other teammates.
The group of Liverpool players used foul language, cursed and vented their post-goal ecstasy on the pitch of their sworn rivals.
……
Benitez was also so excited on the sidelines that he jumped up.
Before the game, he did see the possibility of beating Manchester United, and at the same time ruled out this style of play, but he really didn't have much confidence himself, and even regretted it a little when Cristiano Ronaldo scored the penalty.
But it turned out that he was right!
Surprisingly winning has always been Benitez's forte, and Yang Yang's recent excellent form has been played to the extreme in tonight's game.
With four goals and one assist, Yang Yang personally directed this big reversal for Liverpool!
Not only Benitez was excited, but the coaching staff such as Yesterdam, as well as the players on the bench behind him, all got carried away and cheered and celebrated.
This is Manchester United!
It's Old Trafford!
Now the score is five to one!
When has Manchester United lost so badly at their home turf?
……
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"
"Yang Yang's performance tonight will definitely be recorded in team history by Liverpool, and it will also be remembered by all Manchester United fans forever."
"He's like an all-powerful superman, and we can't imagine what else he can't do?"
"Three days ago, he scored a hat-trick to help Liverpool slaughter Real Madrid, and now, he is playing a quadruple away from home, 5-1 to help Liverpool temporarily take the lead."
"This is an incredible miracle! He's just kicking crazy! ”
……
Ferguson closed his eyes in frustration, not daring to look at the pitch again.
It was definitely the worst day he had ever been in charge of United, and the most humiliating defeat.
And Yang Yang, the player who was abandoned by him three years ago, single-handedly directed his humiliating fiasco.
Ferguson vividly remembers that he gave up Yang Yang three years ago in order to keep Cristiano Ronaldo, because he was so sure that the Portuguese would be the best player on the planet.
Three years later, time has passed, Yang Yang has won two World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, and at the same time led Liverpool to rise strongly, winning two Champions Leagues in three years and the first Premier League title in history.
Since his first day in charge of Manchester United, Ferguson has always regarded Liverpool as an imaginary enemy, and he has even said that the greatest achievement of his life is to kick Liverpool off the throne of English football and help Manchester United up.
But now, he found that the country he had worked hard for in the past ten years was gradually being eaten away by Liverpool led by Yang Yang, and collapsed step by step.
This is something that Mourinho's Chelsea can't do, but Yang Yang did it!
One of the luckiest things that Benitez has done since he took charge of Liverpool is the introduction of Yang Yang from Ajax.
Not only will this be Liverpool's most successful signing ever, but it will also be the proudest of Benitez's managerial career.
As for Ferguson......
He didn't regret leaving Xiao Xiaoluo, but he regretted missing Yang Yang.
…………
…………
After Yang Yang scored the fourth goal, Liverpool took a 5-1 lead.
Subsequently, Benitez made a decisive substitution and replaced Yang Yang with Crouch.
When Yang Yang quickly ran to the sidelines, hugged Crouch and was about to walk off the field, there was a round of applause in the stands at Old Trafford.
The applause came not only from Liverpool fans, but also from many Manchester United fans.
Being recognized by rival fans is undoubtedly the biggest affirmation for professional players.
Yang Yang also raised his hands and applauded the fans in all directions, while bending down and bowing to thank them for affirming him.
Then, in the 81st minute, Crouch came on the field and quickly played the role of a tactical center, and in a counterattack, the pass assisted Gerrard to push a right-footed shot from the edge of the small penalty area, and scored a single goal, further expanding the score to 6-1 for Liverpool!
By this moment, United had collapsed.
Everyone knows that this heavy defeat not only cost Manchester United three points, but also completely lost the courage and determination to challenge for the league title and even the title of other competitions.
