When many media commented on the semi-finals of the Premier League, they generally believed that Manchester United's overall strength was slightly better than the other three teams.

This is the consistent feature of Manchester United under Ferguson's coaching.

The Red Devils play very holisticly, not only reflected in their offense, but also in their defense.

Overall, Manchester United is not used to defensive counterattacks. Even though Ferguson arranged nine players to retreat, in fact, the blood of offensive football still flows in the bones of this team.

The football field is indeed full of unpredictability, but it must be admitted that the advantages of overall strength can lead to higher tolerance rates, whether in a ninety-minute game or a long season.

In the highly informatized world, there is no so-called pearl of dust. Young players will immediately pay attention to strong teams whenever they emerge, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, or even earlier, such as Arsenal's Walcott and Tottenham's Gareth Bale.

In the European transfer market where you get what you pay for, Manchester United, with rich and powerful, can always find better players.

Anderson, Nani and Hargreaves, who spent more than 20 million to bring in, are players who have already proved their strength in the Portuguese Super League, Bundesliga, and Champions League. They are no less reliable than players such as Benardon, Pennant and Lucas Reva.

The overall strength of the teams created by these players will naturally be stronger.

But sometimes, Liverpool can't play games that Manchester United can play.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure.

With so much less fiscal revenue than Manchester United, Liverpool is destined to not be able to afford such a huge player lineup.

Benitez can only barely build a competitive lineup, supplemented by a group of players with good cost performance, such as Benardon, Pennant and Lucas Reva, and try to build a competitive team.

What made Liverpool feel extremely grateful was that their only big move in the past years was to spend 40 million euros to introduce Yang Yang from Ajax, which turned out to be an extremely wise decision.

This not only relieved everyone in Liverpool, but also gave Benitez a higher confidence.

Yang Yang is constantly scoring goals, breaking through, constantly improving his strength, and also constantly raising Liverpool's upper limit.

As the team's head coach, all he needs to do is to constantly consolidate the team's foundation and lower limits, and do his best to exert Yang Yang's on-court threats and strength.

Many people say that Benitez doesn't like star players, which is wrong.

What he doesn't like is the kind of star players who don't have enough strength but want tactical privileges.

But for players like Yang Yang, any head coach in the world will regard him as a treasure, including Benitez.

Because he knew that his trust and support would always receive rewards from Yang Yang.

…………

After Manchester United concedes a goal, they continued to defend and counterattack, using both wings Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo as counterattack weapons.

The Red Devils were not panicked at all because they were behind.

On the contrary, not long after the start of the second half, Liverpool made a mistake.

It was also in the penalty area and a corner kick.

Giggs quickly made a tactical corner kick, Rooney took a long shot from the edge of the penalty area, and Liverpool players failed to block it in time. Reina couldn't fly over and save it, so he actually let the shot pass through the crowded penalty area and flew to the back point.

Teves caught up and knocked Rooney into Liverpool's goal.

One to one!

Manchester United equalized the score!

Ferguson was excited on the sidelines.

He has always been very clear that Liverpool's defense is not as stable as Manchester United, and what they really terrible is the midfield.

The midfielder composed of Gerald, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano is the strongest in Europe.

But the defense line is not.

Last season, the Reds had a healthy Daniel Agge, but this season, the Danish central defender was injured and his condition never recovered, while Hepia is already old.

During the league, the game is one game after another, and it is impossible to leave enough time for Liverpool to adjust.

To put it bluntly, the overall strength is not strong enough.

When Ferguson thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Both sides returned to the same starting line, and he once again saw hope for victory.

After winning this Double Red Club, the next step is the Christmas Devil schedule that he is best at.

Yang Yang's peak state has been maintained for four months, which is very unbelievable. He showed his amazing stability, but even God cannot continue to maintain this state.

Either Christmas or January, he will definitely decline!

Especially after getting World Footballer.

Ferguson knows professional football and professional players very well. He clearly sees that Yang Yang can stay in shape because he has a clear goal and direction in his mind, and he wants to get World Football Master.

But when he achieved his goal and arrived at his destination, what will he do next?

Sometimes, some things seem simple and easier to say, but they are difficult to do.

For example, Ronaldinho's condition declined rapidly after his peak. Is it just because he is not self-disciplined enough?

No, there is another important reason, that is, he has lost the direction and motivation to strive.

He is already the number one football player in the world and has won the supreme honor that everyone dreams of.

No matter how hard he works or how hard he works, he will only get it again at most.

After the peak, we are at a low point, which is human nature.

This is true for teams and so is the players.

Once Yang Yang has a trough, Liverpool will inevitably fall from the leader position.

This is Manchester United's opportunity!

...

After seeing Tevez score, Ferguson was proud, as if he had seen Manchester United reversed Liverpool to the top.

But soon, he seemed to have been slapped in the face and his face was swollen.

Because he realized that he had made a very serious mistake.

Now, Yang Yang has not received the supreme honor he has always dreamed of.

He is still the hungry Yang Yang!

…………

"Liverpool intercepted the ball from the front of the penalty area!"

"Mascherano passed the ball to Xavi Alonso."

"Xavi Alonso made a long pass directly and directly gave it to the frontcourt..."

...

Amid the exclamations of more than 50,000 Liverpool fans in the game, the Reds launched a fast counterattack.

Yang Yang threw away Gary Neville, rushed through Manchester United's half at a very fast speed, and headed straight for the penalty area.

Manchester United just equalized the score, and the players on the court wanted to make a big splash. In the attack just now, the team was too pressed, which led to Liverpool's counterattack, only Vidic and Ferdinand were dragging in the end.

Vidic returned to defense immediately and chased the ball with Yang Yang at the same time.

The Serbian central defender's turn and start speed were slow, but Yang Yang's position was even further back, which caused the two to chase Manchester United's penalty area almost at the same time.

The ball fell slowly, Vidic judged the landing point, and he blocked Yang Yang to the left with his body.

In Vidic's impression, Yang Yang has always been known for his speed, explosive power and dribbling breakthroughs. His physical fitness is not a strong point, which led to the Serbian central defender who believes that as long as he suppresses his own little, he can limit Yang Yang.

But when the two of them were in contact with each other, Vidic realized that he was wrong.

Yang Yang's body looks very thin, but his strength is not bad at all.

Compared with a strong and powerful man like Vidic, it is of course not enough, but it is not realistic to eat him in one go, especially Vidic has to consider helping him out.

Vidic is tall and has long legs, so he originally had multiple different choices.

At this time, there were only four players near Manchester United's penalty area, namely Vidic who was chasing Yang Yang back to defense, Hargreaves behind him, and Ferdinand in the middle. As long as the ball was passed, whether it was for Ferdinand in the middle or the goalkeeper back, it was a very good choice. At the least, he could kick it out directly.

Originally, Vidic meant to suppress Yang Yang with his body, and then squeeze him away, seize the best position, and then pass back or cross across.

This is undoubtedly the safest way.

But suddenly, he realized that his body was not able to easily suppress Yang Yang as expected.

Not only that, Yang Yang seemed to be fierce, regardless of the danger, took the initiative to poke his head out and pushed forward against the falling ball first.

This shot just hit the ball, leaving Vidic's kick empty.

The Serbian central defender was shocked and held his feet in time. Otherwise, he would have hit Yang Yang on the forehead directly, and blood splattered on the spot was inevitable.

But it was precisely because of this that Yang Yang took this opportunity to break free from Vidic's entanglement and quickly chased after him.

I don't know if it was because of the error in the attack just now, but Van der Sar was a little inaccurate in grasping the timing of this attack, or maybe Yang Yang took the lead and rushed forward, beyond his expectations. In short, when Van der Sar attacked, Yang Yang took the lead and caught up with the ball.

With one dunk, Yang Yang dunked the ball over the goalkeeper Van der Sar...
