"There is a consensus in European football that La Liga focuses on technology and the Premier League focuses on confrontation."
"In the past few years, Barcelona has always been a hurdle in front of the Premier League teams. From Chelsea to Arsenal, and now Liverpool, the Premier League teams have suffered from Barcelona and even lost the championship."
"Fighting skills and cooperation, there is no team in the Premier League that can compete with Barcelona, including Arsenal."
"For a long time in the past, the gap between Liverpool and the other top three in the Premier League is not small, and it seems even more distant from Barcelona. Although they won the Champions League in 2005, it looked more like a bloody game. The sudden outburst, everyone thought that AC Milan's 3-0 win over Liverpool in the first half was more real."
"Of course, football does not simply rely on strength and stars to make comparisons, but the gap between Liverpool and Barcelona is obvious, and it can even be seen in the disparity odds offered by bookmakers before the game."
"But after two rounds, Liverpool won 3-1 away, 2-0 at home, and 5-1 over Barcelona!"

"After the game, former Liverpool star McAllister commented that Liverpool could have scored more than five goals in the Anfield game, but their luck was a little bit worse, because Rijkaard still managed to score five goals in two weeks. There was no effective way to defuse Benitez's targeted tactics."
"And in the VIP room after the game, when we met Dalglish, Alan Hansen and McAllister and others, when they commented on the game, they all mentioned the most important person without exception. , that's Yang Yang!"
"In the post-match press conference, Rijkaard mentioned Yang Yang for the second time, and Benitez also admitted for the second time that Yang Yang decided the game, which is very similar to the first leg after the Camp Nou. "
"In the two rounds, Liverpool scored a total of five goals, and Yang Yang scored four goals and assisted one. This is definitely a flawless report card!"
Subsequently, the Daily Telegraph commented on the tactics of the two-legged match in the comments.
Liverpool's tactics basically did not change, but Barcelona made a very big adjustment, from the original four-three-three to three-four-three, Rijkaard obviously wanted to strengthen the attack in the frontcourt.
But as a result, after the adjustment, the weakness of the back line was completely exposed.
"Benitez's tactics are very clear, fighting skills and cooperation. Liverpool is not Barcelona's opponent at all, so he has to fight against Barcelona physically, using his physical strength to restrain his opponent and show his physical fitness. advantage, which is precisely the weakness of Barcelona, where there are many smaller players."
"From the perspective of the two rounds, the offensive players in Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt are basically fighting each other, and they do not form an effective whole with each other, let alone cooperation, even if they protect the ball for a while, it will be It's not easy."
"But in Liverpool's physical flow style, Yang Yang is a big alternative."
"Benitez is full of confidence in the 20-year-old wing attacker. He asked Yang Yang to look for opportunities on the wing and in the middle, and Yang Yang did not live up to the coach's trust, whether it was a hat in the first leg. A trick, a pass and a shot in the second round, he gave his best performance."
"Especially in the second round, Rijkaard originally arranged for Thuram to mark Yang Yang, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang shot a heavy long-range shot at the beginning, which shocked the defenders of Barcelona, and then frequently passed the diagonal Quickly sprint both vertically and horizontally, and use your speed advantage to create a threat."
"Thirty-five-year-old Thuram obviously can't cope with twenty-year-old Yang Yang, and the three-four-three defensive formation makes Yang Yang more at ease. Coupled with the tilt of the team's overall tactics, Yang Yang has completely become a player on the court. The most threatening attacker!"
"And the stronger the stronger, the stronger Yang Yang's performance in the knockout rounds."
"Before the group stage, there were only four goals and two assists in total, but in the knockout stage, when they met Barcelona, Yang Yang scored four goals and one assist in two rounds, which made people full of respect for him."
"I believe that after this peak matchup, no one in the world will question the strength of Yang Yang's first-tier European star, and this 20-year-old has become the most outstanding top star in the Premier League this season. "
"At least, if one person beats Barcelona, how many can do it?"
