Chapter 590 Who else can I rely on?
After the ninth round of the Premier League, ushered in a two-week national team match day.
Since the Chinese team will usher in the first round of the Asian World Cup qualifying match at the end of October, the opponent is the weak Myanmar, so this time Ali Han still does not plan to recruit foreign nationals, especially Yang Yang.
Myanmar's strength is relatively weak, mainly composed of college students and government workers. Alihan believes that even domestic players can handle it, and there is no need to transfer overseas international footballers.
Facts have proved that the national team was [-]-[-] and [-]-[-] respectively, double-killed Myanmar in two rounds, and entered the top twenty.
Without the interference of the national team, Yang Yang concentrated on preparing for the game in Liverpool.
During this period, the Premier League officially announced the best appearance in September.
Among the four games in September, both Liverpool and Arsenal have won four games in a row. The Red Army's match against Tottenham Hotspur took place in October, so Benitez and Wenger became the biggest competitors.
But Arsenal's performance is obviously better. Whether it is a [-]-[-] victory over Portsmouth, a [-]-[-] victory over Tottenham Hotspur, or a [-]-[-] victory over Derby County, the Gunners performed even better.
Therefore, Wenger defeated Benitez and became the best coach in September.
In the competition for the best player of the month, Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool star Yang Yang became opponents. Fabregas scored in three consecutive games, while Yang Yang scored in four consecutive games.
In the end, Yang Yang defeated Cesc Fabregas and successfully won the title of Player of the Month.
This is also the second consecutive time that Yang Yang has won the best player of the month.
In the comments on the Premier League official website, Yang Yang's outstanding performance since the beginning of the season was highly praised, especially his consecutive goals, which helped Liverpool win a winning streak, and gave great affirmation.
"In the history of the Premier League, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the longest goal in a row. He once scored in ten consecutive league rounds for Manchester United, and Yang Yang has scored in eight consecutive rounds, which is not far from the record of a Dutch center."
"I believe that all Premier League fans are looking forward to Yang Yang being able to create history and break Ruud van Nistelrooy's legendary record."
…………
…………
After two weeks of rest, Liverpool ushered in the tenth round of the Premier League.
This time, the Red Army is a guest at Goodson Park Stadium, and they will challenge their city rivals Everton away.
Moyes' side were well prepared and made Liverpool suffer from the start.
No. In the 308th minute, Everton was lucky to take advantage of a corner kick, and Lescott flew the header. Hyypia made an own goal when he cleared the siege, and put the ball into his own goal, [-]-[-].
But after changing sides in the second half, two minutes later, during Liverpool's counterattack, Yang Yang broke through with the ball and passed it straight to the penalty area. Gerrard stepped in and volleyed, piercing Everton's goal and equalizing the score.
Then the two sides played inseparable, and Liverpool also fell into a hard fight.
Until the end of the game, Mascherano sent a kick behind the ball after stealing the ball in midfield.
Near the center line, Yang Yang dribbled the ball all the way and broke into Everton's penalty area. The pendulum swung past the attacking goalkeeper Howard and calmly pushed the empty goal.
Although central defender Yabo went all the way back to the goal and fell to the ground trying to tackle the ball, he dribbled the ball into the goal in the end. [-]-[-], Liverpool reversed the rivals in the same city.
Yang Yang also ran around the entire stadium excitedly.
This is his ninth consecutive round of league goals. At the same time, his personal Premier League goals this season have increased to [-] goals.
…………
…………
After playing Everton, Liverpool traveled a long distance to Turkey to challenge Besiktas away.
Since Daniel Agger still has not returned from injury, Liverpool still chose Hyypia and Carragher to start.
As a result, in the opening 13 minutes, Hyypia once again scored an own goal.
Then Liverpool launched a crazy counterattack.
Gerrard made a two-over-one-hit-the-wall cooperation with Kevin Dirk on the right. The Liverpool captain broke into the penalty area to form a one-handed shot, but when he shot, he was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
But just when everyone thought the shooting opportunity was missed, Yang Yang suddenly appeared in Besiktas' penalty area like a ghost, and calmly picked up the missed shot and hit it, one to one!
After the score was equalized, the two sides continued to come and go, attacking and defending each other.
After changing sides in the second half, two minutes later, Liverpool made a pass from the right side of Dirk Drivet, Crouch headed the ball, and the Besiktas defender made a header to clear the siege, but the ball did not fly far. Yang Yang dived directly near the penalty spot in the middle and headed the ball into the goal, [-]-[-].
The score was reversed, and Liverpool's morale was boosted.
Besiktas launched a crazy counterattack, but Liverpool defended impregnably.
But at the 80nd minute of No.[-], Hyypia once again made a mistake that should not have been made.
The Besiktas player passed the ball, and the Liverpool central defender blindly blocked it while defending, but was avoided by the opponent, and passed it to the goal, assisting his teammates to score a single goal, two to two.
Liverpool has been unable to break Besiktas' goal until the final stage of the game.
The Red Army encountered two consecutive draws in the Champions League group stage.
……
Own goal in two consecutive games and major mistakes, Hyypia's state is really unreliable.
The 34-year-old veteran's performance this season has indeed declined sharply. The introduction of a central defender during the winter break was also put on the agenda by Liverpool early. Benitez is urging the club to strengthen signings.
While Liverpool is actively operating transfers and strengthening signings, other teams are also poaching Liverpool.
Because after Mascherano joined the team, Mali midfielder Mohamed Sissoko, who gradually lost his main position, also wanted to leave the team. Because of his outstanding strength and obvious characteristics, there is no shortage of potential buyers.
For example, Juventus in Serie A is coveting him and is very interested.
But Benitez is still trying his best to keep Sissoko, hoping that the Mali can stay in the team.
At the very least, leave after finishing this season.
……
After the three rounds of the group stage, Liverpool's situation is somewhat surprising.
One win and two draws, this report card is completely inconsistent with the optimism of the outside world about Liverpool before the game, which has caused controversy among the head coach Benitez and the team.
Except for Yang Yang, who scored consecutive goals, all other players were criticized, and the team was under heavy pressure.
Fortunately, after the three rounds, Liverpool ranked first in the group with five points, Marseille also ranked second in the group with five points, and Porto had one win, one draw and one loss, and only got four points, ranking third.
Besiktas only drew with Liverpool at home in this round, and they are at the bottom of the group with one point.
But no matter from which point of view, Liverpool's report card is not satisfactory.
…………
…………
October [-], [-], afternoon, Anfield Stadium.
Premier League No.11 round, Liverpool sits at home against Arsenal.
Xavi Alonso has finally returned from injury, but the Spanish midfielder is clearly not yet at his best.
Arsenal adopted a four-five-one tactical style of play, with a configuration of five midfielders.
Wenger's strategy is very clear, that is to focus on the away side, control the ball, and use his advantage of passing and possession to firmly suppress Liverpool and strive to win the away game.
The Gunners’ strategy is not too big, because their midweek Champions League game is at home, and they are playing against an underdog like Slavia Prague. They easily won [-]-[-]. On the other hand, Liverpool traveled thousands of kilometers to Turkey.
Coupled with the fact that Xavi Alonso has just returned from injury, Hyypia has been in poor form recently, and the defense is unstable. The Red Army dare not be careless even in their own home court.
The start of the game also seemed to be carried out in accordance with Arsenal's strategy.
The Gunners attacked from the start and held the ball firmly.
Continuous multi-line combat, Liverpool's players are exhausted physically and mentally. Even players with abundant physical strength like Yang Yang and Mascherano are starting to feel a little overwhelmed. However, Arsenal's fast and accurate ground penetration passes and the team's excellent physical fitness bring them.
It is reflected in the fact that Arsenal frequently launched offensives, and Liverpool's defense found loopholes, but they couldn't be blocked no matter what, and they could only be seized by Arsenal again and again.
The biggest surprise in the first half came from luck, that is, Fabregas fouled Xavi Alonso. Yang Yang took the left free kick this time and hit the wall directly. Flamini failed to clear the siege in time, but Gerrard, who came in behind, seized the opportunity and directly shot a long shot through Arsenal's goal.
But then, Arsenal continued to control the ball and opportunities on the field, and frequently created murderous intentions.
If it weren't for the poor ability of Adebayor and other players to seize opportunities, Arsenal would have scored at least two goals in the first half.
On the other hand, Liverpool's overall performance is still relatively sluggish, and the midfielder is completely at a disadvantage.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Benitez immediately made substitution adjustments, and Crouch replaced Voronin.
Liverpool made adjustments to their offense, but Arsenal still scored a goal.
No. 70 minutes, Hleb made a direct pass from the left, Fabregas succeeded in anti-offside, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and scored with a low shot.
It was the Spanish midfielder's ninth goal of the season and fifth in the league.
After the score was equalized, Arsenal attacked more urgently and fiercely.
The overall physical fitness of the Gunners is even better. In contrast, many Liverpool players are almost unable to run.
Mascherano even cramped when he fell to the ground for a tackle. The team doctor had to rush in and carry him to the sidelines, but soon, the Argentine returned to the pitch again.
Arsenal is frequently creating threats.
First, Walcott made a cross from the right, which was cleared with a header by Liverpool vice-captain Carragher. Then Fabregas shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area. After being saved by Reina, Adebayor made a follow-up shot from close range.
Two consecutive saves, Reina was very tenacious.
The entire Anfield stadium also sounded the singing of Liverpool fans.
The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was floating in the air at Anfield.
Everyone knows that the team has encountered many problems and its performance is not satisfactory. For a period of time, it has been almost all supported by Yang Yang alone.
But in this game, even Yang Yang was obviously tired. He was frozen almost the whole game by the joint efforts of Sagna and Flamini.
Who else can Liverpool rely on?
