676 Yang Yang is too strong!
Amid the voices of more than 40,000 fans, Yang Yang still sat upright on the visiting team's bench and watched the game silently.
After the second half of the game, Liverpool was indeed more proactive and the team played more threateningly, but Mark Hughes was obviously mentally prepared for the situation that might be encountered in the second half, so it was not difficult to deal with it.
Manchester City's defense is still good, but Yang Yang believes that as their physical fitness continues to decline, they will definitely have problems.
This is a matter of time sooner or later.
After the opening, Liverpool still tried several times on the left, hoping that Gareth Bale could create a threat, but Zabaleta completely freezes the Welsh, which prevents Gareth Bale from getting a good chance.
Even the speed he was most proud of was unable to achieve results.
After trying a few times, seeing that there was no effect, Harvey Alonso decisively chose to transfer the target and tried to launch an offensive from the right.
Yang Yang sat on the bench and was always paying attention to every move on the court. He clearly saw the problems Gareth Bale is facing now.
Welsh Wings is a very potential player. He can stand out from the youth training camp in Southampton, not just because he is fast enough. There are not many fast players, which itself does not have much competitiveness.
In addition to being fast, Gareth Bale has a solid basic skills and strong shooting power. As a left-footed player, he has excellent dribbling ability on the left, his crossing skills on the left are very good, and he also has a free kick skill.
These are his advantages.
At Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale is more of a threat on the left, and is also from a left-back, so he is used to rushing to the bottom line after getting the ball, wanting to use his speed advantage to create opportunities.
This is a very normal thinking, because a very important point for players is to give full play to their strengths.
But this is wrong, because the opponent will also be very clear about your advantages and may even limit them.
It was like in this game, Mark Hughes obviously defended against this characteristic of Gareth Bale. Zabaleta almost frozen the Welshman in the whole game, especially later, Bale became more and more anxious and more chaotic.
Yang Yang knew too well the situation Gareth Bale was facing at this moment, and this is why he was still so grateful to Van Gaal so far.
There are usually only two ways to create threats, either down the bottom or cut inside.
For Gareth Bale, who only knows how to use his left foot, cutting in the left side is not an advantage he is good at, and it is not smooth to kick, but blindly falling down, it is easy to be restricted by his opponent.
This is the problem he is facing now.
In fact, it is really easy to defend Gareth Bale after understanding his characteristics.
If Gareth Bale wants to avoid this, he has to change his playing style, or like Yang Yang, he can make himself more comprehensive, especially his right foot, which must be able to master as soon as possible so that he can cut inward and create threats.
Or he would learn Robben.
The Dutch winger is very fast, but at the same time the rhythm is very good, which makes him only know his left foot and his opponent has figured out his usual tricks, but he has never completely limited him because his rhythm is really great.
Yang Yang has been practicing several of the star skills he has learned this summer, continuing to improve himself, and not learning more new star skills. If he takes time out next, he also wants to learn something about rhythm.
Giggs, Figo, Robben... These people are all wing players with a very strong sense of rhythm and are all worth learning.
What's more, there is the legendary ancient giant god in the super training ground, who is the real rhythm master.
However, at present, Gareth Bale obviously cannot do it. He just took the ball and rushed again and again, trying to play to his own speed advantage, but he hit a wall again and again.
...
When the 55th minute of the game was over, Benitez finally couldn't sit still and immediately asked Yang Yang to warm up.
In fact, the Spanish head coach wanted to make a substitution as early as the halftime break, but the substitution during the halftime break was definitely a blow to Gareth Bale's psychology, so Yang Yang suggested giving Gareth Bale some more time.
As for young players, they always need to exercise and improve in setbacks.
Without injuries, substitutions in the first half are a humiliation to the player, while substitutions in the midfield are more like taking the blame. No matter what, this is a blow to the player's psychology.
Therefore, Yang Yang hopes that the coaching staff will give Gareth Bale more time.
Moreover, he saw it very clearly off the court that Manchester City's physical fitness would not last long, so he was confident that he would change the situation and even reverse his opponent after he played.
Therefore, Benitez agreed to his proposal.
In the 60th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity to die, Yang Yang stood on the sidelines, replaced Gareth Bale, and gave the Welsh a decent look. So when Bale left the court, he hugged Yang Yang and said a few words of thanks next to his ear.
"Don't take it to heart, you can perform better next time." Yang Yang comforted.
He is now the number one star in the team and has already achieved success, but Bale is a nineteen-year-old rookie. He naturally wants to support his younger brother, not to mention that for him, this is just a small task.

Yang Yang makes a substitute!
This immediately made more than 40,000 Manchester City fans in the entire city stadium feel worried.
The head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines was very aware of Yang Yang's threat and kept calling out to the players, reminding them to pay attention to entangling Yang Yang closely and not give him any chance.
Sabaleta was the first to be hit, but it was also the most distressing, because he was not sure and didn't know how to defend himself.
The distance is closer, it is easy to get rid of. When the distance is farther, I am worried that he will seize the opportunity to get the ball.
It's really hard to deal with!
Liverpool is completely different from Manchester City.
After Yang Yang returned to the court, the team's morale was greatly boosted and his tactical styles also had a backbone.
There are still thirty minutes left, and it is still possible to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent.
Moreover, everyone also felt that Manchester City's physical fitness declined very quickly after the high-intensity pressing and pressing for the first hour. In the previous game against Chelsea, the reason why they lost three goals in a row was that their physical fitness could not keep up.
Mark Hughes may learn from this game, but many things will never change.
...
The ball quickly returned to Liverpool's feet.
Xavi Alonso made a pass from Gerald, Crouch withdraws from outside the penalty area to support, Liverpool launches a strong attack in the middle, attracting attention and creating gaps for Yang Yang on the left.
Yang Yang ran to the left side of the top of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Crouch quickly passed the ball to Yang Yang's feet as soon as possible, allowing him to face Sabaleta one-on-one.
The Argentine played against Yang Yang in the World Youth Championship three years ago. At that time, he was the captain of the Argentine National Youth Team and played as a midfielder. However, after landing in Europe, he changed to the right back and performed well for Espanyol.
After Sun Jihai left the team, Manchester City's right became Sabaleta's territory.
Yang Yang has been paying attention to Sabaleta. Facing Crouch's pass, he stopped on his right side with his right foot, adjusted again, and made a move and had to kick the ball.
Zabaleta has always defended Gareth Bale before, and his position was always to block him from the bottom of the cross, but Yang Yang ran to the left side of the arc top area in the front of the penalty area to get the ball, and stopped the ball with his right foot. This made him feel a little uncomfortable for the first time. When he saw him wanting to shoot, he was shocked and rushed out quickly.
But Yang Yang did not hit, but took a small step to the middle with his right foot and suddenly kicked the door directly.
The ball flew quickly over Zabaleta's side and landed towards the lower right corner of the goal, with a noticeable landing rebound.
Manchester City goalkeeper Hart's attention was attracted by Yang Yang and Sabaleta's actions just now. Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly changed his mind, cut in and took a small step, and then suddenly shot the goal, and the angle was very tricky, and he directly oriented towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Hart flew to save, but eventually he was one step slower and the ball hit the goal.
One to two!
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
"Just just the first minute of the game, Yang Yang scored a game for Liverpool."
"This is simply incredible!"
"He is like an omnipotent goal machine. Manchester City's defensive player was like a wooden stake in front of him, and he easily walked around it."
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he did not rush out of the stadium to celebrate, but ran quickly towards the goal, picked up the football, ran quickly to the center line, and kept celebrating with his teammates along the way.
He has been watching on the sidelines for so long, and he can clearly understand the defenses of Sabaleta and Manchester City.
…………
…………
Gareth Bale sat on the bench and looked at Yang Yang running back in a daze, his face full of disbelief.
No matter what, he never expected that Sabaleta, who had caused so many troubles for himself just now, even had the urge to get crazy, was tricked by Yang Yang so easily and scored a goal.
This was too exciting for him!
Southampton youth training camp has always been the leader in England. Since his debut, he has been the best in the Saints youth training camp. He has always believed that his strength and potential are not bad, and he has also taken the lead from Saints to Tottenham Hotspur and then to Liverpool.
But today, in this game at Manchester City Stadium, he witnessed a scene that he could not believe in before, which was too exciting for him.
If he hadn't experienced Manchester City's defense personally, if he hadn't really competed with Sabareta just now and only looked at this goal, he would even think, is Sabareta too bad? Or is he deliberately letting the water go?
I believe that fans who watch live broadcasts in front of the TV will feel this way at this moment, that is, how could Sabaleta suddenly become so weak and make such a mistake?
But Gareth Bale knew very well that it was not that Sabareta was too weak, but that Yang Yang was too strong!
So strong that he has completely snuffed all possible responses to Sabaleta in the bud.
Chapter completed!
