Comeback

"Liverpool still had the ball."

"Xabi Alonso carried the ball forward, then suddenly sent a diagonal pass to the left."

"Yang Yang received the ball outside the left corner of the penalty area and shook off Zabaleta before cutting inside..."

"Beautiful! Yang Yang changed direction again, carrying the ball between Zabaleta and Kompany and into the penalty area..."

"What a fantastic Forceful Breakthrough!"

"Yang Yang carried the ball into the six-yard box and crossed toward the center. Crouch..."

"It's in!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"Liverpool had tenaciously equalized in the sixty-seventh minute!"

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang, who had come on as a substitute, had one assist and one goal!"

"Through this match, we can clearly see just how important Yang Yang is to Liverpool!"

"Man City's two defenders, Zabaleta and Kompany, had both failed to stop him. They had allowed Yang Yang to carry the ball straight through the gap in their defense and into the penalty area, tearing Man City's entire back line apart by himself."

"Micah Richards angrily kicked the ball into the goal. He had every reason to feel frustrated, because Man City's defense had been like paper in front of Yang Yang. Compared to before, the difference was simply too great."

Mark Hughes grabbed his hair in frustration and turned back toward the technical area.

He felt he had to make adjustments as quickly as possible.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes after Yang Yang came on as a substitute, Liverpool had scored twice in succession. The sight reminded him of their match against Chelsea not long ago, when Man City had also conceded three goals in a row despite taking the lead.

A major part of the reason was that the team's fitness could no longer keep up.

They had to make adjustments!
