It was another long pass from Barcelona's half and entered the 30m area of Liverpool.
La Liga giants do not have a tactical high point in the frontcourt, such a pass is difficult to threaten Liverpool's defense.
But they still do it again and again, the reason is simple, they can not find a more effective way to clamp through Liverpool midfield.
The midfield combination of Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and Gareth Barry cut off Barcelona's pass line, making it difficult for the latter to send the ball to the frontcourt , Can only be forced to take a long pass.
But this is not a hammer trade.
After a long pass in the backcourt, although the Barcelona players in the frontcourt could not grab the first goal, they would actively force to grab the second goal.
Skotel stepped forward and pushed the ball back to the center line.
Gerrard headed again and gave Gareth Barry on the left.
The English midfielder was forced by Harvey and quickly kicked the ball to Harvey Alonso.
Xavi Alonso glanced at the left side and quickly passed the ball diagonally back, sending the ball to the left.
At this time, Aurelio pulled to the unguarded wing. After receiving the ball, he raised his hand and signaled to stabilize the rhythm.
But Liverpool obviously haven't reached a sigh of relief.
Eto'o, Messi and Henry stepped forward at the same time, especially Eto'o, rushed directly to Aurelio.
Brazil's left defender took the lead and took the ball to the left to bring the ball forward, but Eto'o struggled.
This is also a characteristic of Barcelona. It is almost a lifeless attack in the frontcourt.
Aurelio glanced ahead and quickly found his goal.
Barcelona's frontcourt squeezed, the midfielder also followed, and the two sides were also more advanced.
Especially with the retreat of Gerrard and Kuyt, the whole line of defense of Barcelona was pushed forward, standing outside the 30-meter area of your own, leaving a huge gap behind.
This is also the reason for Barcelona to press, reducing the chance to give Liverpool a long pass directly behind the backcourt.
At this time, Puyol, Pique and Yang Yang were left in front.
Aurelio and Yang Yang have been partnering on the left for three years. The relationship between the two is excellent. The cooperation is also extremely tacit. He just glanced at the situation in front of him and immediately guessed Yang Yang ’s intentions. After blocking Eto'o with his body , Left side of the left foot directly pass a big foot forward.
As a left footer, Aurelio's left pass, Eto'o is difficult to stop.
After seeing Aurelio's pass, Yang Yang also started for the first time, leaning behind Puyol and Pique at his fastest speed and heading straight to the penalty area.
Affected by the offside penalty in the first half, Yang Yang deliberately slowed down a bit this time, but because of this, he was entangled by Pique, but the Barcelona central defender was a slow shot when he started, and the result has been Yang Yang Keep behind.
The two rushed forward, Yang Yang used his body to block Pique behind him, peeping at the landing point of Aurelio's foot ball, took the first step, turned sideways, and stopped the ball forward in the chest.
The ball landed heavily on Yang Yang's chest, but it seemed to be removed from the force, obediently obeyed Yang Yang's wishes, and fell in front of him, but Pique was still blocked by Yang Yang.
The Barcelona central defender is very distressed. He is one step behind, one step behind.
But as the last defensive player, whether it is the referee Busaka or the referee, he is closely watching him. He dare not make any foul moves. He is afraid that Yang Yang will fall directly to the ground. Blame it.
Of course, there are a lot of small movements in the dark, but Yang Yang's physical strength and reaction ability are enough to cope with these small tricks, and he has not let him succeed.
...
Van Gaal ’s goalkeeper coach Frans Hawke is a character who has changed the training system for Spanish goalkeeper coaches. Whether it is Reina, Valdes, or Casillas, almost all Spanish goalkeepers are well received by him. The impact of training concepts.
And these goalkeepers have a very obvious feature, that is, love to attack.
The scope of activities can be directly extended to the big restricted area, or even become the last link of the team's pass and control system.
Therefore, when Yang Yang got rid of Pique's defensive entanglement and stopped the ball in the chest, he had already paid attention to Valdes.
The Barcelona goalkeeper gave up the goal decisively and rushed to the penalty spot.
Yang Yang and he looked at the falling ball almost at the same time. The difference is that Yang Yang took the ball and Valdes shot.
Yang Yang stopped the ball on his own, and in what way will it fall, no one knows better than Yang Yang.
Valdes still needs to judge, but Yang Yang doesn't. He almost conditioned his foot, so he took the lead and took the ball that fell in the air with his foot and dunked it to his left.
The goalkeeper in Barcelona was just a little bit short, watching the ball slipping past his fingertips, but he was empty.
Yang Yang, after avoiding Pique and Valdes, caught up and quickly kicked out his left foot.
When the ball flew towards the goal, Puyol's side shovel fell to the front of Yang Yang.
The three Barcelona defensive players are all so little.
But with such a small gap, they watched the ball enter Barcelona's goal almost in a straight line.
Almost at this moment, the entire Olympic stadium cheered.
More than 30,000 Liverpool fans in the stands rushed out of their seats like crazy, one by one rejoicing, celebrating wildly with dancing, all roaring like crazy.
...
"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"In the 63rd minute, Liverpool attacked Barcelona's goal by Yang Yang with a quick counterattack!"
"God, this counterattack came very suddenly, very unexpected."
"It can even be said that it was a counterattack that came out suddenly, but Yang Yang relied on his excellent personal ability to stop the ball, smash the ball, and finally push the shot. . "
"One to zero!"
"It's not the first time Barcelona has exposed such flaws. As early as the first half, they gave Yang Yang a terrible anti-offside opportunity. As a result, the referee misjudged that single blow. "
"And this time, Yang Yang almost dragged Pique to sprint, and Barcelona's back line was once again pierced!"
...
After Yang Yang shot, his body lost his balance and fell sideways in the penalty area, but he quickly climbed up and rushed to the stands where Liverpool fans were, rushing all the way to the corner flagpole and towards the fans on the stands. Cheering.
Behind him, the Liverpool players also quickly gathered up one by one.
Gerald, Xavi Alonso, Aurelio and others hugged Yang Yang one after another, screaming at the fans and live cameras, venting their inner excitement and excitement.
This goal came very critically, and very timely.
For more than sixty minutes, Liverpool have been struggling for more than an hour, and now they are exhausted physically and mentally, and their physical fitness has dropped significantly.
But Yang Yang's goal seems to reinvigorate the team, so that everyone sees hope.
As long as they hold on to this score, as long as they persist for another 30 minutes, the victory will belong to Liverpool!
The fans in the stands were also very excited. All Liverpool fans shouted Yang Yang's name.
...
"This is indeed a very wonderful counterattack, which not only reflects Liverpool's counterattack idea, but also allows people to see Yang Yang's personal ability."
"It can be said that he really relied on his outstanding personal ability, and he broke through Barcelona's defense by himself, opening the door to victory for Liverpool!"
"The current situation is quite unfavorable for Barcelona. Although they have an overwhelming advantage in passing the ball, with Yang Yang's goal, the situation on the court has been completely reversed."
"Barcelona is definitely going to further strengthen the offense, and Liverpool will be more defensive."
...
Live TV footage also swept across the coach seat on the sidelines.
Benitez looked very excited and cheered for Yang Yang's goal, but Guardiola seemed a bit bitter, apparently disappointed by the team's goal.
But soon, Guardiola responded.
Barcelona made a substitution adjustment in the 65th minute and Silvinho replaced left-back Abidal.
Unlike Abidal, who has both offensive and defensive skills, Silvinho's assist ability is better, and his skills and awareness are better. The only drawback is that he is already 34 years old.
But Guardiola replaced him at this time, obviously also want to strengthen Barcelona's attack on the left, and then echo Alves in the right, allowing Barcelona's two wings to fly together, posing a threat.
This time, substitutions quickly created a threat.
Barcelona had an overwhelming advantage in passing the ball. After being attacked by Liverpool, the La Liga giants began to swell, especially to replace the left-back Sylvino, who played on the field.
In the sixty-seventh minute, Silvinho inserted an assist, and after a match with Henry on the left, the ball was sent into the penalty area. Messi hit the goal at a small angle before the goalkeeper Reina blocked, and then There was a scuffle in Liverpool's restricted area.
The final result was that Mascherano made a big goal for the ball, but this time the attack made Liverpool startled with a cold sweat.
Everyone is well aware that a one-to-zero lead is quite unsafe, especially in front of a powerful Barcelona, as long as it is a little careless, and only a little mistakes may be equalized by the opponent, or even reversed .
After creating a threat, Barcelona took advantage of the situation to continue its offensive and formed a repression against Liverpool.
For such a situation, Liverpool is also psychologically prepared.
Yang Yang, Gerrard and Carragher constantly called on their teammates to be vigilant, while also patiently organizing the team's midfield and backcourt defenses, fighting for the soil and never leaving Barcelona the slightest chance.
