Vol 4 Chapter 623: Pick one out of two [Explosive liver second, ask monthly ticket]

As early as when Ajax played football, Van Basten had mentioned a very important element in the game with Yang Yang.
How to define this potential concretely is really hard to say.
With the enrichment and accumulation of experience, Yang Yang has understood it more.
The momentum is really important, even it can change the direction of the whole game.
After coming to Liverpool for a year and a half, Yang Yang gradually felt a lot of things under Benitez's coaching. He felt that the Spaniard is a very good head coach.
When the gestures are large, he resolutely adjusts the team's tactics, suppresses the opponent, and kills the opponent's momentum; when the gestures are weak, Liverpool puts pressure on it and strives to kill the opponent.
This seems to be very simple. Isn't the opponent playing a defensive counterattack when the opponent has the upper hand?
No, things are not that simple.
...
Liverpool lost one Harvey Alonso in this game, the midfield was greatly affected, and the team's platoon formation was also very difficult.
Benitez is still out of the four, three, three formation, the goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Orelio, Hypia, Skotel and Carragher, and the Liverpool deputy captain is playing the right back position.
The reason why such a lineup will be eliminated is that Inter Milan has two terrible high centers, Ibrahimovic and Cruz, so Liverpool gave up Finnan and Aveiro on the right. Ya.
Benitez's strategy is also very clear. The three central defenders are responsible for freezing the opposing double centers. Aurelio is more mobile on the left, presses up when attacking, and can retreat when defending.
Liverpool are very sure of their left, and Benitez believes that Yang Yang can limit Maikong on the right.
Midfielder is Mascherano and Lucas Reiva playing a double midfielder, Gerald forward.
Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt form the trident in the frontcourt.
Inter Milan are also doing their best to play.
The goalkeeper is Cesar, the back line is Maicon, Cordoba, Materazzi and Maxwell, the midfielder three midfielder is Vieira, Cambiasso and Zanetti, Stankovic. Formerly, the double forwards were Cruz and Ibrahimovic.
...
Mancini's strategy is very clear, the team from the beginning of the game a big pressure on the offensive.
Xavi Alonso was not there. Inter Milan wanted to suppress Liverpool from the beginning, using their fast-paced attack to attack their opponents. At the same time, they also played Cruz and Ibrahimovic. Center threat.
Just five minutes after the match started, Inter Milan created a dangerous situation. Vieira passed and Ibrahimovic headed back to the middle. When Cambiasso followed to hit the goal, Lu was returned to the defense. Cass Leva blocked the bottom line.
But only three minutes later, Inter Milan got a foul on the left. Ibrahimović blocked the Liverpool defenders with his body in the penalty area. The ball was knocked back and Cruz volleyed with a volley. Reina saved the bottom line.
Three minutes later, Inter Milan forced a breakthrough, Zanetti was tripped by Kuyt, Ibrahimovic got a free kick opportunity, directly hit the crossbar, shocked everyone cold sweat.
The ball flew back to the court after hitting the crossbar. Stankovic volleyed directly, but failed to suppress the ball and was high.
The continuous offensive has made Inter Milan look like a rainbow and Liverpool has been suppressed very embarrassed.
In terms of momentum, trade-offs, Liverpool obviously should pay more attention to defense, or even retreat.
But Benitez did not let the team do this, but kept signaling on the sidelines. The midfielder should be pressed out so that Mascherano, Lucas Reiva, and Gerrard must go forward. Press, don't step back.
After the defeat at the opening, Inter Milan spurred on and made a big push. Liverpool were defeated. Crouch and Kuyt both actively returned to defense. Kuyt even returned to the frontier of his own penalty area, which made Benitez Very dissatisfied.
He believes that the team has retreated too far, even shrinking in the penalty area, which is very detrimental to Liverpool's defense.
Ibrahimovic and Cruz are both high centers, not fast, but the threat in the penalty area is quite alarming.
Even to a certain extent, Liverpool's central defender can't stop Ibrahimovic at all. This can be seen from the fact that he frequently took the ball to plan the offense after the opening.
In this case, it is necessary to press the defense forward and keep them away from the goal.
Yang Yang is very clear about Benitez's tactical intentions and also understands the current situation of the team, so in the case of Kuyt and Crouch retreating, he is still at the forefront.
Inter Milan came out of the nest, Maicon and Maxwell were very active on the wings, but Materazzi and Cordoba always followed, obviously also very afraid of Yang Yang.
Liverpool did not make a threatening counterattack until the twelfth minute.
Kuyt sent a pass on the right and sent the ball directly behind Materazzi.
Yang Yang started with the situation, inserted into the back of Materazzi at the fastest speed, before grabbing everyone, caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and Materazzi and Cordoba also returned to the defense in time restricted area.
One to two.
Yang Yang seemed very decisive and drove the ball directly from the right rib to Materazzi.
Although Materazzi was mad, he did not dare to carelessly face Yang Yang, and his attention always fell on Yang Yang.
But as soon as the two contacted, Yang Yang had just entered Materazzi's defense zone. When the Italian central defender hadn't responded, he suddenly made an effort to get out of his way, and snapped it back in an instant, passing a pendulum directly!
Materazzi only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and he didn't even have time to react, so Yang Yang cut the ball inside.
The Italian central defender did not choose to foul because he still has Cordoba behind him.
But Yang Yang suddenly accelerated when cutting inwards, and walked past Cordoba, pulling out his left foot and shooting directly.
At this time, they suddenly realized that although this guy is a left-winger, he is famous for hitting the goal with his right foot, but in fact, he is playing a right-winger in Ajax and is famous for his goal. .
This shot is very urgent and the angle is tricky. I want to directly hit the bottom left corner of the goal.
But Cesar responded quickly. Although this was the first time he faced Yang Yang, he did enough homework before the game, especially Maicon and Maxwell, he gave him advice, so when he saw Yang Yang When he cut in, he was ready.
The Inter Milan goalkeeper flew sideways and directly saved Yang Yang's shot from the goal and corner kick.
Yang Yang was not surprised to see the shot was saved, but he twisted his left foot in depression. He was not satisfied with the shot he had just made, because he originally wanted to hit a ground rebound ball, And the speed will be faster.
But obviously, his body is still not at his best. Although he still made a good shot, he was still saved by Cesar.
More than 80,000 Meazza fans at the scene all exclaimed, and they were obviously shocked by Yang Yang's shot.
Single-handedly, one person picked two central defenders, and was able to shoot such a wonderful shot. This was Yang Yang in a less-than-ideal situation, which shocked everyone on the scene.
If he was still in a crazy state in the first half, wouldn't he score this goal?
Once scored by Liverpool, the situation of the game will be completely detrimental to Inter Milan.
If they have any impressions before, now, more than 80,000 fans on the scene, as well as Inter Milan players, really feel Yang Yang ’s terrible and his importance to Liverpool.
He is already the most decisive top star in Europe now!
…………
…………
After being struck by Yang Yang's shot, Inter Milan's offensive had to slow down.
Benitez quickly made on-the-spot command and adjusted the team's tactics, so that Mascherano, Lucas Reiva and Gerrard all pushed forward, while Crouch and Kuyt also pressed up.
Both the front and midfield are pushed out, and the back line naturally pushes forward.
As a result, Inter Milan's two centers were blocked outside the penalty area, even outside the 30-meter area.
At the same time, Liverpool stepped up the pressure on the midfield, forcing Inter Milan to take more long passes and go directly to Ibrahimovic and Cruz, but because these two centers left, there is a threat. After receiving the ball, the team lacked the support of the wings and teammates behind them, causing Inter Milan's attack to begin to lose its threat.
...
"There are too many long passes, Inter Milan itself is not suitable for playing long passes, now the midfielder can't get the ball, more direct long pass to Ibrahimovic, but Liverpool has strengthened the defense against Ibrahimovic , Making it difficult for the Swedish center to hold the ball. "
Bergomi, who explained the scene, was clearly worried about the current situation of Inter Milan.
"Stankovic should play a more important role, especially in connecting forwards and midfielders. He should make himself more active."
But it is said that Stankovic just got the ball on the court, but was suddenly entangled by Mascherano and directly stabbed.
"Mascellano's defensive ability is really excellent, and Benitez is obviously also intending to use him to cut off Stankovic."
When it comes to this, the famous Italian Rossi shook his head.
"I played very well in the first ten minutes just now, but unfortunately I didn't score."
"Yeah." Viali also agrees very much, "Yang Yang just played one-on-two very beautiful that time, and also made Inter Milan's defensive players scared. Mancini did not dare to give him such a chance again. Ball, it would be too passive. "
In the Champions League knockout game, giving the opponent an away goal at home, especially allowing the opponent to advance the ball, can be said to be a nightmare. Although Mancini is a striker, the Italian coach never took such a risk.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Mancini's conservatism is also forced by Yang Yang.
In this game, the core players of the two teams, Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic have played very well, but the key is the formation of the head coach and the team's lineup configuration, resulting in the current situation of the two teams. Different situations.
Although no one wants to admit, Liverpool's overall strength is indeed slightly better than Inter Milan.
