Liverpool has finally lost!

In Yang Yang's first game after winning the European Ballon d'Or from Paris, Liverpool lost 2-1 away to Reading.

It was definitely an out-and-out upset, and after this upset, the issue of refereeing in the Premier League was once again in the spotlight of the media.

Because in this game, Liverpool had bad luck and were awarded a penalty shortly after the opening.

It was a clear foul on Carragher from the edge of the box, but the referee awarded a penalty.

As a result, Liverpool were extremely passive when playing away, and although Gerrard equalised, the referee missed a 100 per cent penalty.

Suffered two painful blows in a row, Liverpool finally failed to reverse the away game, the player was impetuous, and he couldn't attack for a long time in the second half, and was attacked by Reading to score a goal, and finally suffered a 1-2 upset away from home.

It was also Liverpool's first defeat of the season!

Because Yang Yang was all participating in the celebrations organized by the European Ballon d'Or and Liverpool two days before the game, he did not even train normally, so Benitez did not put him in the squad for this game.

This also became the accusation of many media reporters against Benitez after the game.

Liverpool's recent form has indeed been quite good, from the eight-goal win over Besiktas, the Reds have won consecutive games all the way, not to mention the tide of attack, the defense has also improved considerably, and the overall form has also recovered quite well.

What I didn't expect was that Liverpool, who has been unbeaten for 15 rounds so far this season, lost to Reading in an upset away when their form was restored, which was indeed very surprising.

In the words of the media, the cold is really nowhere to be found.

But everyone believes that if Benitez puts Yang Yang in the squad, even if it is a substitute lineup, Liverpool still has a good chance, because Yang Yang can be said to be the backbone of Liverpool's players on the field.

Benitez said after the game that Yang Yang's absence did have a certain impact on Liverpool's attack, but the most important thing was the referee's two misjudgments, which dealt a great blow to the Liverpool players.

Liverpool does not have many injuries now, the substitute lineup is good, it can be described as strong, and the consecutive big wins have made the team's morale like a rainbow, but what I didn't expect was that it was suddenly hit by the referee in the away game, and I was completely stunned.

But Benitez finally admitted, "If Yang Yang was there, maybe we would have played a little more threatening in the second half." ”

The Spanish coach said that Yang Yang is the player who has played the most minutes in Liverpool this season, and he has not trained for two days before, and he is very tired from running back and forth, and he really hopes that Yang Yang can have a good rest.

But in any case, in 16 games, Liverpool won 14, drew 1 and lost 1, which is really amazing.

……

Yang Yang didn't have any opinion on Benitez not arranging his start, because he was indeed a little tired in those two days.

Mainly before and after the award, there are too many celebrations arranged, and many of them are must-go.

For example, the one at Carlsberg, which was the main sponsor.

The day after Reading, Su Ye flew from London to Los Angeles, USA, and she was in a hurry to attend an audition.

Yang Yang personally sent her to London.

The team then set off for an away game against Marseille.

This time Yang was given the start and set up Gerrard's goal in the opening four minutes, before he scored a goal of his own.

After the rematch in the second half, Yang Yang assisted Kuyt to score in the opening three minutes.

In the end, with Yang Yang's two passes and one shot, Liverpool defeated French Marseille 4-0 away.

Benayoun scored a goal in stoppage time after coming on as a substitute for Yang Yang.

And with the outbreak of Liverpool's last three rounds of group stage, Yang Yang once again played a surprising result.

In the six games of the group stage, Yang Yang scored ten goals and contributed seven assists, immediately catching up with last season's results, and currently continues to lead the scorer list and assist list.

This also made everyone feel Yang Yang's determination in addition to being amazed.

He just wants to use this strong performance to rush all the way to the end, so that FIFA has to face up to his achievements.

If FIFA still awards the World Footballer of the Year to Kaka despite his excellent performance, the credibility of this award will definitely be shaken.

……

After the group stage, Liverpool qualified as the top of the table, followed by Porto in the Portuguese Super League in second place, and Marseille in Ligue 1 in third place, forced to play in the UEFA Cup.

After playing Marseille, Liverpool chartered a flight from France to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.

On the way to Japan for everyone in Liverpool, the British World Football Magazine has officially announced the award of the year.

This is the second best of the year award after the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, and it is less influential than FIFA and French football magazines, but it is also the third in the world.

French football magazine's European Ballon d'Or is voted for by journalists, FIFA's World Footballer of the Year is voted for by managers and captains of various countries, and England's World Football Player of the Year is voted for by fans around the world.

This year, World Football Magazine's vote attracted votes from fans in more than fifty countries around the world.

Yang Yang won the best newcomer with 43.6% of the votes.

The best manager went to Alex Ferguson, but the Manchester United manager only received 26.4 percent of the vote, only a little more than Benitez, who won the Champions League, and the advantage was very small.

The team of the year went to Iraq for the simple reason that although Iraq lost to China in the final of the Asian Cup, it is already quite admirable that this war-torn national team can perform so well.

Liverpool, who won the Champions League, and Sevilla, who won the League Cup, finished second and third respectively.

In the selection of the best player of the year, Yang Yang won this honor without any suspense with an astonishing 62.8% of the votes, surpassing everyone else.

When the World Football Magazine announced, it commented on Yang Yang's performance in the past year and described it as a phenomenon.

They believe that Yang Yang is the best player in Europe in the past year, and that he deserves to be recognized with the highest honors, and that the votes of fans from more than 50 countries around the world are the best proof of this.

Looking at the history of world football magazines, in the past so many years, only Platini received more than 50% of the votes that year, but this year, Yang Yang's vote rate reached an astonishing 62.8%, which is absolutely amazing.

Because it is difficult for a player to be liked by all fans, but Yang Yang used a wonderful performance to conquer those opponent's fans and convince everyone.

All the British media have also reported on the selection of World Football Magazine, and the award ceremony will be held in London after Liverpool returns to the UK, and all British media also believe that if Yang Yang wins the World Footballer of the Year again, he will complete a grand slam of personal honors and become a player of the year who is seriously recognized by fans, media and professionals.

And this will undoubtedly be a supreme honor.

Yang Yang only got the news from his agent Raiola on the phone after arriving in Tokyo, Japan.

Recently, he has been a little numb to winning awards.

If it weren't for Raiola reminding him, he wouldn't have remembered World Football Magazine's annual award being hailed as the third biggest.

But no matter what, it's always good to win a prize.

The more you win, the more likely you are to prove yourself to be the World Footballer of the Year.

After arriving in Tokyo, Liverpool began to prepare non-stop.

Due to the schedule, the Reds simply don't have much time to rest as the semi-finals of the Club World Cup are looming.

Liverpool's opponent was Japan's Urawa Ruby.

To Yang Yang's surprise, at the Tokyo airport, a large number of Japanese fans came to greet him, including several Japanese female fans holding banners with Chinese characters "Welcome Yang Yang to Japan".

On the day of the game, there were still many Japanese fans and many Chinese fans who came to support.

Liverpool came all the way, the players were tired and Benitez didn't give it his all, but they still managed to get 62 per cent of the ball with ease, but they couldn't create a threat in attack.

Until the second half, after Yang Yang came on the bench, Mascherano made a long pass after the ball was broken in the midfield, and after Yang Yang won the ball on the left side, he drove straight in, relying on his personal ability, and passed the three defenders of Urawa Ruby in one breath, and in front of the left side of the cross goal, Crouch calmly pushed and hit, 1 to 0.

The score was maintained until the end, with Liverpool comfortably beating Urawa Ruby to reach the final.

……

Three days later, Yokohama International Arena.

In the final of the Club World Cup, Liverpool faced Argentine giants Boca Juniors.

Whether it is the requirements of FIFA or the strength of the opponent Boca Juniors, Liverpool is also the main force this time.

Boca Juniors has gathered strong stars such as Palermo, Palacio, Banega and Cardoso, and the overall strength is not bad, but Liverpool is obviously superior, and the overall strength is basically suppressing the opponent.

Yang Yang started this time, and in the fifth minute, he had a counterattack, when he advanced with the ball in the middle, he picked up a pass behind the right side of the defense, and Kuyt inserted it back to push and hit.

In the nineteenth minute, Daniel Agger made a long shot from the edge of the penalty area, hit the body of the Boca Juniors defender, and bounced into the penalty area, Yang Yang calmly seized the opportunity and hit the shot, 2-0.

Two minutes later, Yang Yang dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area on the left rib, and suddenly hit the goal with a cold arrow, after being saved by the goalkeeper, Yang Yang kept up and wanted to play again, but suddenly saw Crouch, chose to cross in front of the goal, Crouch pushed and hit again, scoring in two consecutive games, 3-0!

After the rematch in the second half, Benitez immediately replaced Yang Yang, and Liverpool soon scored from a set-piece by Carragher to extend the score to 4-0.

Although Boca Juniors pulled back a game later, Liverpool still won 4-1 in the end.

Yang Yang was elected the best player of the game with two passes and one shot.

The FIFA Awards Conference is coming soon, and the Club World Cup champion and best player have undoubtedly added some confidence to Yang Yang.
