516 He beat Barcelona alone!
One person defeated Barcelona!
The day after the game, the British Daily Telegraph reported on the front page that Liverpool beat Barcelona 2-0, and the attached photo was a frontal photo of Yang Yang jumping onto his back after assisting Crouch to celebrate.
"There is a consensus in European football, La Liga is focused on technology and Premier League is focused on confrontation."
"In the past few years, Barcelona has always been a hurdle in front of Premier League teams. From Chelsea to Arsenal, and now Liverpool, Premier League teams have suffered a lot from Barcelona and even lost the championship."
"Working about skills and cooperation, no team in the Premier League is enough for Barcelona to play, including Arsenal."
"For a long time, Liverpool has not been a small gap with the other three Premier League champions, and it looks even further away from Barcelona. Although they won the Champions League in 2005, it looks more like a bloody sudden outbreak. Everyone thinks that Milan won three to zero in the first half of the game, but it is more real."
"Of course, football does not simply rely on strength and stars to compare, but the gap between Liverpool and Barcelona is obvious, and it can be seen even the huge odds offered by the bookmaker before the game."
"But after two rounds of games, Liverpool beat Barcelona 3-1 away, 2-0 at home, 5-1!"
"Just looking at the score, it looks more like Barcelona's score to beat Liverpool, not the other way around, but if you look at the process carefully, anyone will find that Barcelona is indeed losing, even though they control most of the ball."
"After the game, former Liverpool star McAlice commented on the characteristics of the game, saying that in Anfield, Liverpool could have scored more than five goals, but his luck was slightly worse because Rijkald still had no effective way to resolve Benitez's targeted tactics in two weeks."
"And in the VIP room after the game, when we met Daglish, Alan Hansen, McAllister and others, when they commented on the game, they all mentioned the most important person, that is Yang Yang!"
"At the post-match press conference, Rijkaard mentioned Yang Yang for the second time, and Benitez admitted that Yang Yang decided to play, which is very similar to the battle at Camp Nou in the first round."
"In the two rounds, Liverpool scored a total of five goals, Yang Yang scored four goals by himself and assisted one. This is definitely a flawless report card!"
The Daily Telegraph then commented on the tactics of the two-round match in the comments.
Liverpool's tactics have basically not changed at all, but Barcelona has made a very big adjustment, from the original 433 to 343. Rijcard obviously wants to strengthen the offense in the frontcourt.
But as a result, after adjustment, the weaknesses on the defense line were completely exposed.
"Benitez's tactics are very clear. He is competing with skills and cooperation. Liverpool is not Barcelona's opponent at all, so he has to compete with Barcelona for physical fitness, use his physical strength to snatch away the opponent and give full play to his physical strength. This is exactly the weakness of Barcelona, which is mostly small players."
"From the two rounds of games, Barcelona's midfield offensive players basically fight on their own, and they do not form an effective whole with each other. Not to mention cooperation, even if they protect the ball more and take a while, it will be quite difficult."
"But among Liverpool's body flow style, Yang Yang is considered a big alternative."
"Benitez is full of confidence in this 20-year-old wing attacker. He asked Yang Yang to look for opportunities in the wing and middle areas, and Yang Yang did not disappoint the head coach's trust. Whether it was a hat trick in the first round or a pass and shot in the second round, he showed his best performance."
"Especially in the second round, Rijkald originally arranged for Tulam to guard Yang Yang, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang fired a heavy gun and shot a long-range shot at the beginning, shocking Barcelona's defensive players. Then he frequently sprinted in a diagonal and longitudinal direction to exert his speed advantage to create a threat."
"Thursy-five-year-old Tulam obviously cannot deal with the twenty-year-old Yang Yang, and the defensive formation of San43 makes Yang Yang more at ease. Coupled with the team's overall tactics, Yang Yang has completely become the most threatening attacker on the court!"
"When encountering stronger, the stronger it will make Yang Yang perform better in the knockout round."
"I only scored four goals and two assists in the group stage before, but in the knockout round, when I met Barcelona, Yang Yang scored four goals and one assist in two rounds, which made people respect him."
"I believe that after this peak showdown, no one in the world will question Yang Yang's European first-tier star's strength. This young player, who is only 20 years old, has become the best top star in the Premier League this season."
"At least, how many people can do it if one person beats Barcelona?"
...
Reuters from the UK published an article saying that Liverpool's spirit, Benitez's tactics, and Yang Yang's sharpness have led to Liverpool's complete victory in these two rounds.
"Although it's only the quarterfinals now and some things are not suitable to be said too early, there is no doubt that Benitez's team is on the way to Athens, and Liverpool has never been as strong as it is now!"
"By the same, although Yang Yang is only twenty years old, we have never seen a 20-year-old player who is as good as him. He makes us think of Ronaldo and Van Basten back then."
"Maybe, many years later, we will still be able to recall these two games this year!"
...
The British Times said that these two rounds are crucial to Liverpool.
"Liverpool's gains from a complete victory over Barcelona are not just the quarterfinals, not just two wins, but also the atmosphere of confidence and unity, but more importantly, this Red Army has found its most powerful attack weapon."
"Yang Yang!"
"Whether in the previous Eredivisie, this season's Premier League, or in the Champions League, Yang Yang is constantly using facts to prove his strength and value. He quickly became the most trustworthy main scorer for Liverpool."
"Whether it is against Benitez or Liverpool players, the most important thing next is how to help Yang Yang maintain his current state and how to further exert Yang Yang's attack power."
"We have absolutely reason to believe that as Yang Yang becomes more and more outstanding, Liverpool will become stronger as well!"
...
If the British media praises and praises Liverpool and Yang Yang, then World Sports and Daily Sports from Catalonia are both mouthpieces of Barcelona, but both media regret the results of the game.
World Sports News publicly stated that Liverpool's promotion is reasonable.
"This is a nearly perfect team!"
"After introducing strong aid Yang Yang this season, Benitez's team has become more offensive. In the two rounds of games, whether in personnel allocation or tactical adjustment, Benitez defeated Rijkaard."
"Yang Yang was also almost perfect in two rounds of games, with four goals and one assist, and he allowed everyone to see his strength."
"Especially in the first half, Liverpool created many excellent scoring opportunities. Yang Yang himself had two very threatening long shots, one of which was slightly off the surface and the other was hitting the crossbar. Otherwise, Barcelona would lose even more miserably in this game."
World Sports News believes that Yang Yang's long shot at the beginning of the second leg is very important.
"This long shot is of high quality, but more importantly, it has shown Liverpool's morale and fighting spirit first, and also shocked Barcelona, especially the defensive players on the back line."
World Sports News also stated that as she grows older, especially after joining the Premier League this year, Yang Yang's physical fitness has improved significantly, and her long-range shots have begun to become more, and her quality is still high, and her physical ability to fight has also become stronger, but her feet's skills and explosive power are as outstanding as ever.
"There is no doubt that after more than half a year of training in the Premier League, his overall strength has improved a lot, and it seems to be more comprehensive and better than when he was in the Netherlands, which has allowed him to successfully take over the Liverpool offensive flag."
"Maybe, in time, Yang Yang will become the most comprehensive and terrifying attacker on this planet!"
...
The Daily Sports News also gave quite high comments on Liverpool and Yang Yang's performance, especially Yang Yang.
"As long as he can maintain this state so far this year, Liverpool will be the number one favorite to win the Champions League, and Yang Yang has a good chance to make another breakthrough in the World Footballer selection with his outstanding performance this year."
But Daily Sports gave severe criticisms about Barcelona's performance.
Whether it is Rijcard's tactics or the performances of players such as Ronaldinho, Etoo and Deco, it is obviously unsatisfactory, and the point that Daily Sports highlights is hunger.
"It's obvious that after experiencing the peak of last season, many players lost their hunger for victory and championships. They began to become slack and began to become less eager to win, so the internal conflicts arose."
"Many people think that Barcelona lost to Liverpool and Yang Yang, but in fact, Barcelona lost to itself. Too many negative news and internal conflicts have seriously dragged down the team's competitiveness."
"It's not surprising at all!"
...
Except for the British and Spanish media, almost all media around the world focus on reporting on this showdown.
Yang Yang's name has once again spread all over the world because of these two games, causing a fierce response among all the fans.
If it wasn't very certain before, then now, everyone has no doubt that Yang Yang will become the most powerful and talented front-line in European football in the next few years, and even a top star.
And when the news came back to China, countless fans were cheering for Yang Yang's performance.
