677 Reversal
"It's still Liverpool with the ball."
'Xavi Alonso dribbled forward and suddenly crossed diagonally to the left.
"Yang Yang took the ball on the periphery of the left corner of the penalty area and shook off Zabaleta's ...... inside"
"Beautiful, Yang Yang changed direction again, from between Zabaleta and Kompany, and brought the ball into the penalty area......"
"Very wonderful forced breakthrough!"
"Yang Yang took it to the small penalty area and crossed to the middle, Crouch ......"
"The ball is in!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"Liverpool stubbornly equalized in the 67th minute!"
"Yang Yang! Yang Yang, who came on as a substitute, made one pass and one shot! ”
"Through this game, we clearly see that Yang Yang is too important for Liverpool!"
"Manchester City's two defenders, Zabaleta and Kompany, failed to stop him, and directly let Yang Yang rush into the penalty area with the ball from the gap in the defense, tearing apart the entire Manchester City defense by himself."
"Mika Richards kicked the ball into the goal in anger, and he had every reason to be upset because City's defence was like paper paste in front of Yang Yang, and the difference was too big compared to before."

Mark Hughes frustratedly grabbed a handful of his hair and turned around and walked back to the dugout.
He felt he had to make adjustments as soon as possible.
Ten minutes, after Yang Yang came on as a substitute for ten minutes, Liverpool scored two goals in a row, this scene made him seem to see the game against Chelsea not long ago, Manchester City was also in the lead, conceded three goals in a row.
A big part of the reason is that the team's fitness has not kept up.
Adjustments have to be made!
Mark Hughes made a quick decision and immediately called Gerson Fernandez over.
The 22-year-old Swiss midfielder has been doing well since joining Manchester City, and Mark Hughes will be hoping he will step up to strengthen the team's midfield defence, preferably to contain Liverpool's attack.
And this time he replaced Brazilian striker Ruo.
Taking down a striker and replacing it with a defensive midfielder is also a last resort.
What is the situation of Manchester City now, Mark Hughes may not have been clear before the season, but the game against Chelsea has already made it very clear to him that this is a pseudo-strong team, and it just looks strong.
Chelsea, who are not strong in attack, were able to score three goals in a row in the final stages of the second half, but what about Liverpool, who are even more attacking in attack?
Mark Hughes didn't dare to bet on that, so his strategy was simple, since it was equalised, then defend with all his might, hold on to the draw, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, which is what Manchester City should do now.
But just when Mark Hughes was about to make a substitution, the situation on the court changed again.
…………
…………
In the 72nd minute, Liverpool launched another wave of offensive, Yang Yang faced Zabaleta and Kompany on the left side, first made a gesture to cut into the middle, but suddenly dunked the ball back, stabbed the bottom line first, and then accelerated to chase it.
"A beautiful man scored a ......"
"It's still Yang Yang on the left......"
After Yang Yang rushed away from Manchester City's defense, he chased up as fast as he could, and after catching up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he passed the low ball with his left foot to the back point, and Kuyt followed up with a clear understanding and scored with a header in an unguarded situation, three to one!
"Reversal!"
"Liverpool came back from two goals down to complete an amazing comeback!"
"Twelve minutes, only twelve minutes!"
"Manchester City can't keep up with Liverpool at all!"
"Perhaps, at this moment, they will remember the rout in the final round of the last season, when Manchester City was also under the powerful offensive of Liverpool led by Yang Yang."
"And tonight at the City Stadium, I don't know if Manchester City will be able to stabilize their position!"
'Mark Hughes made a substitution, bringing on Swiss midfielder Gerson Fernandez for Brazilian striker Joo.
'It was a change to strengthen the midfield defence and Mark Hughes was clearly aware of the team's problems.
…………
…………
After scoring three goals in a row and completing the comeback, Liverpool did not slow down their offensive because of this.
Soon, Benitez replaced Mascherano with Pennant.
It was a very brave and very bold substitution that showed Liverpool's determination and courage to go further.
And just after Liverpool's substitution, there was another change on the pitch.
In the 77th minute, when Liverpool broke the ball in midfield, he quickly counterattacked, Xavi Alonso sent the ball to the left side of the front field, and Yang Yang caught up with the ball as fast as possible, and then rushed to the penalty area.
When Zabaleta was behind, he suddenly made a flying tackle directly from the side and back, and knocked Yang Yang and Yang Yang over with the ball outside the penalty area.
This ferocious defensive move sent Yang Yang tumbling twice on the pitch and also shocked the Liverpool players.
Gerrard and other teammates rushed forward as soon as possible, and the Liverpool captain angrily pushed Zabaleta away, roaring and shouting at the Argentine's savagery, while Manchester City's players also rushed up to support Zabaleta.
The atmosphere in the stadium was tense, and the scene was imminent.
The referee immediately stepped forward to separate the crowd and signaled for Liverpool's team doctor to enter immediately, while showing Zabaleta a red card and sending him off the field.
"The Manchester City players are really getting a little emotional right now!"
"Especially Zabaleta, this ferocious back-to-back flying tackle just now, it is estimated that he will be punished after the game, which is a very irrational foul."
"But at the same time, we must also remind Liverpool and Yang Yang that they must learn to protect themselves."
"After ten minutes on the bench, Yang Yang completely changed the game, Liverpool scored three goals in a row, and they were all from Yang Yang, which was a painful blow to Manchester City, but at the same time, it also made them resentful of Yang Yang, and they naturally lost some weight in their feet."
"I still hope Yang Yang won't get hurt."
…………
…………
When Yang Yang was carried off the court by the team doctor and on a stretcher, the coaching staff and the players on the bench surrounded him.
What they saw was that Yang Yang's right leg had a lot of blood on the calf, staining the entire pair of shoes and socks red, which looked terrifying.
But the team doctor, Mark Waller, shook his head at Benitez and signaled that he was fine.
"I guess I got scratched by the spikes."
Yang Yang also sat up, and saw that after the team doctor took off his shoes and socks, the wound exposed was not very deep, and it didn't look like there was any problem.
It also made him breathe.
"I saw him, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, so I didn't have time to hide." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.
"He probably didn't mean it malicious, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to laugh right now." Mark Waller laughed too.
Benitez shook his head and motioned for Jesterdam to let Benayoun warm up.
Now the score is 3-2, Liverpool has reversed, the other party has one less person, the situation is in Liverpool's favor, but the group of bastards in Manchester City are already hot-headed, and it is estimated that they are holding back their strength now, if Yang Yang is allowed to go up again, God knows if something will happen again?
It's not worth it to fold your number one star here for an extra goal or two.
So, soon, Benayoun replaced Yang Yang.
Sixty minutes on the pitch, seventy-nine minutes down, Yang Yang only played 19 minutes, but directed Liverpool's three goals.
Liverpool then continued their pursuit of Manchester City, with the likes of Dunn, Richards, Arbeloa and Aurelio all receiving yellow cards, with Xavi Alonso almost clashing with the opposition on one occasion.
The Spanish midfielder was very dissatisfied with the opponent's tackle on Yang Yang.
In the closing stages of the game, Xavi Alonso took advantage of a corner kick to set up Steven Gerrard to score again.
Liverpool eventually came back 4-2 away to Manchester City.

…………
In his post-match press conference, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez publicly accused Zabaleta of a brutal foul that he considered a lethal foul that should not have been on the pitch.
"Our team doctor temporarily helped him stop the bleeding, but the specific injury assessment will need to be determined after detailed testing and scanning, but we all think that this time it may be quite serious." Benitez said with a look of resentment.
If Yang Yang appeared at the press conference and saw Benitez's expression at this time, he would definitely be amazed.
It's a waste not to go to Hollywood to act!
Who would have thought that Benitez, who has always been serious and ridiculed as a robot, would also act, and he acted so realistically, people who don't know must think that Yang Yang's right foot is useless this time.
Of course, this should be considered a tactic.
If Liverpool doesn't do anything now and directly tells the outside that Yang Yang is fine, just a little skin injury, will there be other teams like this next time?
This is the style of the Premier League, and it can even be said that in recent years, with Arsene Wenger, Ranieri, Mourinho, Benitez and other continental managers coming to the Premier League, the environment of the Premier League has been improved to a large extent.
What was a flying shovel before?
Didn't Roy Keane openly say in his autobiography that he was deliberately retaliating for breaking his opponent's leg?
And other teams and other people are not less involved in this kind of thing, which is called blood in the traditional environment of the Premier League.
There was even a saying that the reason why Arsenal has frequently suffered retaliation in the past two years is because Wenger's team played too dirty back then, but because Campbell and Vieira and others are still there, others dare not take offense, for fear of retaliation.
But now, Campbell, Vieira and others are gone, and the gunman is like an angry little daughter-in-law, who doesn't dare to fight back after being beaten, so she can only swallow her anger.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, as the Gunners' pass-and-possession style of play will inevitably lead to more encroachments by opponents, but it is not necessarily impossible.
And one of the very important reasons why Liverpool made a big fuss this time was to protect their players.
Sure enough, with the bombardment of Benitez after the game, Yang Yang's injury attracted the attention of fans all over the world for a while, and Zabaleta became a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat him.
