"Three minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool got a good frontcourt free kick opportunity, but Yang Yang did not take the free kick, but gently kicked the ball away. The referee Howard Webber was also very sensible and blew the whistle to the end of the game.
On the day after the game, the British Guardian used this opening to describe the highlight of last night on the front page.
The Guardian believes that this is a key showdown that was hyped by fans all over the world before the game and was looking forward to, but the process was quite dull. The players generally did not play in the best state, which made people a little drowsy, but they ushered in a big explosion in the final stage, with very ups and downs in the strong dialogue.
Therefore, the Guardian believes that Yang Yang's goal not only saved Liverpool, but also saved this strong matchup in the Premier League.
"Without Yang Yang's goal, this would be a disaster game!"
Does that mean that this game has no value?
Not really!
The Guardian believes that this is a very un-Premier game because the head coaches of both teams are full of rationality and restraint.
Chelsea knew that Liverpool had a strong offensive and strong defense, especially Yang Yang, so Scolari formulated a tactic of strictly guarding the dead and focusing on the midfield pass and ball control, hoping to play the advantage of Deco and Mikel's pass and ball control in the midfield.
"The weak offense has seriously dragged down Chelsea's style of passing and ball control, and even Drogba's comeback cannot be changed."
Liverpool saw that Chelsea's offense was weak, but Benitez did not dare to take risks easily. Even in the previous hour, the Reds played very well and did not leave any chance for Chelsea, leaving the Blues with no way to start.
"The turning point of the game was in the 60th minute. Benitez made a decision that could be said to be a change in the whole game. He replaced Crouch with Gareth Bale, gave up the commanding heights of the frontcourt, and pushed Yang Yang to the top of the front line."
"This is a very unexpected substitution. In the past three seasons, Liverpool has been rotating between 433 and 442, and occasionally played 451. But like today, it is indeed very rare and very sudden to push Yang Yang to the front alone."
"But the facts prove that Yang Yang was at the forefront alone, and he gained great freedom. He could give full play to his physical advantages and run a large range of physical strength, making it difficult for Chelsea's defensive players to limit him."
"If you follow, the defense line will be in chaos. If you don't follow, Yang Yang will get a chance. This is a dilemma multiple-choice question."
"In the end, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving Gareth Bale's pass, he broke away from Carvalho's defense and passed Mickel. After drifting past Terry, he scored a goal in the far corner."
"This is definitely a wonderful on-site command from Benitez."
"But Espanyol said at a post-match press conference that all this was a strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game."
"Benitez said, 'We had already formulated a plan before the game, and we even knew very well the difficulties we would encounter on the away game and the ways to deal with them, including pushing Yang Yang to the front line. This is a very interesting attempt, and Yang Yang's comprehensiveness also gives the attempt a very high success rate."
The Guardian joked that Benitez was stubborn. He was obviously a commander on the spot, but he made a sudden decision, but insisted that he had planned it before the game. This was obviously to avoid the outside world's belief that Liverpool won by chance.
But the Guardian believes that this is not necessary, because Liverpool did act very tenaciously in this game.
"The combination of Gerald, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano is not good at passing and controlling the ball. Facing the midfield composed of Lampard, Deco and Mikel, Liverpool inevitably has a disadvantage in passing and controlling the ball, which is very normal."
"However, Liverpool performed very closely throughout the game, and the defense was organized very carefully, and did not give Chelsea any chance. What's more important is the belief in winning and the admirable fighting spirit that the team showed in the game."
"Yang Yang, Daniel Ag, Mascherano, Scotter, Xavi Alonso, Gerald, Carragher, Reina, Kuyt... From these players, you can see the spiritual power of Liverpool, which deeply affects everyone in this team."
"Some people think that this team won a lucky game and scored the final goal, but if they watched the Champions League final in 2005 and saw them losing two goals in a row and reversed Manchester City four goals, it is not difficult to find that Liverpool won is not surprising, because this is the real Liverpool!"
The Guardian also said that Yang Yang is Liverpool's most valuable asset, not just because he can score goals on the court.
"We cannot deny that Yang Yang is the world's number one top scorer and attacker. This is an immeasurable and valuable asset for any team, but for Liverpool, Yang Yang is a world's top superstar who perfectly matches the team's spiritual strength."
"Look at the end of the game, he was still running without hesitation, look at the scene of him struggling to stop the ball under the pressure of Terry, who was taller and stronger than himself, and look at the tenacious tenacity that Carvalho pressed his neck with his elbow and his ears with his hands, but refused to fall down..."
"He was born to play for Liverpool, he was born to be the kind of infectious fighter!"
Finally, the Guardian believes that whether it is a four-two reversal of Manchester City or a final goal to defeat Chelsea today, Liverpool has shown the temperament that a strong team should have. Maintaining the current spirit, the team will achieve a satisfactory result this season.
...
The Times also reported on the front page of the game.
They believe that Benitez has gone through three stages since coaching Liverpool.
The first is the basic period. This was before Yang Yang joined. Even though Liverpool reversed A Milan at that time, it still gave people the impression that it was not the top European team. On the contrary, that Liverpool didn't look strong, especially the offense.
Then there was a period of improvement. With Yang Yang's joining Liverpool as a symbol, it represents the overall improvement of Liverpool. Benitez's team began to get better and had a top superstar who could provide stable forty or fifty goals every year. Benitez has enough ability to create different tactical styles and adapt to different opponents.
Finally, it is the maturity period. From this season, Liverpool's overall performance has undergone a significant transformation.
"In the past two years, a Champions League champion and a Premier League champion have greatly improved the psychological quality of Liverpool players, and the burden originally put on the team has been completely released. Liverpool has obviously played more stably, more maturely, and has higher psychological quality this season."
"So far, Liverpool has reversed its opponents in five games, and can be called the reversal king of the Premier League and even Europe, which means that Liverpool's psychological quality is fully mature and very stable."
The Times believes that this game against Chelsea is also a very good proof, because even in the final stage of the game, in the 90th minute, Liverpool still played very well and did not show any signs of being too impatient. In the end, Yang Yang's goal defeated Chelsea.
"Benitez pushed Yang Yang to the front line, which should have been a helpless move, but unexpectedly, it completely liberated Yang Yang, allowing him to devote himself to the attack, and his comprehensiveness allowed him to deal with any situation in the frontcourt."
"If it's a fan watching the game, I'd probably have a feeling that Yang Yang's tactical role looks even more obvious than Crouch. After he pushed up, he directly suppressed the defense line between Terry and Carvalho."
Scolari also said in an interview with the media after the game that Yang Yang had completely changed the trend of the game after being pushed to the front line.
"From that moment, we started to lose control of the game because Liverpool put the most disturbing weapon into our penalty area, which made us unsafe all the time."
The Times said that this is undoubtedly the highest evaluation given by the opponent's head coach.
Of course, Scolari complained about Chelsea's signings again, which was nothing more than not getting the players he wanted.
Benitez also praised Yang Yang after the game, "Everyone in the team is very hardworking, and every player is full of motivation in the competition, but Yang Yang is different. He is a key player and can change a game. For the defender, he is a very fatal threat.
"In football games, some tasks are impossible for other players to complete, but Yang Yang can do it. This is what makes him the most unique. Being able to have such a player is the most proud thing for all teams and all head coaches."
...
In addition to media close to Liverpool such as the Guardian, Times and the Daily Telegraph, media and fans across the UK and even the world are reporting on this strong showdown.
Yang Yang relied on the front pages of major newspapers again with this final goal. Everyone believed that he was still the number one hottest player in the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards this year.
But there are also many media who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. As Cristiano Ronaldo expected, they used Yang Yang to refuse to fall to the ground under the tangled entanglement of Cavallo to satirize Ronaldo's fake fall against Evert, and then draw a conclusion.
"The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score was because he deliberately fell on the way to score!"
This obviously malicious report quickly caused a firefight between the media.
It will be November soon, and December soon.
The two Supreme Awards will be unveiled soon, and the last month will be the most intense competition between the two and the most lively media hype. Judging from the current situation, Yang Yang obviously has the advantage and has a higher voice.
