Beckenbauer, the emperor of football, once left such a famous saying: On the football field, the strongest is often the weakest.

Liverpool had considered bringing in Daniel Alves, and Benitez was no stranger to the Sevilla right wing-back, so how could he not set up the Brazilian defensively?

Although the opening game was taken first, Liverpool quickly stabilized their position and quickly counterattacked.

Just five minutes into the game, Daniel Ager picked up the ball at the back and made a long-distance pass directly to Liverpool's left side, behind Daniel Alves.

Yang Yang quickly ran out of the gap, stopped the ball on his chest, and cut to the middle with the ball.

Sevilla realised the danger at this point, with Daniel Alves desperately chasing back up front, and his midfield team-mates quickly returning to defending, but Liverpool's counter-attacks were noticeably quicker, especially with Yang Yang.

With a steady pace and a reasonable stride, Yang Yang's speed with the ball has always been one of his strong strengths.

Therefore, although Sevilla defended quickly, Yang Yang's dribbling speed was faster.

After cutting inside, Yang Yang shook off a Sevilla defender and passed the ball to Crouch in the middle.

The England tall faced the ball from the left, stopped with his left foot, avoided the interference of the defenders, and then picked up the pass behind the defence.

After Yang Yang passed, he immediately changed the direction of the inward cut and went straight behind the defense line at the fastest speed.

In this way, two Liverpool players played with four or five Sevilla defenders to applause.

By the time Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area and caught up with the ball, it was impossible for Sevilla to stop it.

The veteran goalkeeper Palop decisively abandoned the goal, but as soon as he left the small penalty area, Yang Yang hit it directly!

The whole process is clean and clean, and there is no mud and water!

The ball also went straight into the Sevilla goal, 1-0!

……

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"A quick counter-attack from Liverpool, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Liverpool after just five minutes."

"It was a really good attacking combination, very simple, but it was terrible."

"Yang Yang and Crouch showed a full tacit understanding."

……

After scoring the goal, Yang Yang was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and knelt directly to the corner kick area under the Liverpool fan stands, accepting the cheers and cheers from the fans in the stadium.

He won last season's Champions League Player of the Year award at the Grimalty Convention Centre yesterday, but he wasn't satisfied because he knew his goal wasn't there.

He wants to get the two grand prizes in more than three months!

So, he needs to be even better, better than anyone else!

…………

…………

After Benitez saw Yang Yang score on the sidelines, the whole person was also excited.

But he's used to it.

Yang Yang's form this season is indeed too fierce, which obviously comes from the deepest desire in his heart.

'We've made a big difference this season.' Benitez said lightly, but his tone was extremely confident.

After hearing this, Jesterdam nodded, "Yes, but the position of central defender still needs to be strengthened." ”

"I've already asked the scouting team to investigate, and it's too late now, I guess it's the winter break."

"The most important thing is to maintain Yang Yang's state." Yesterdam said.

Benitez suddenly smiled faintly, "At least until December, we don't need to worry about it at all." ”

Jesterdam laughed too, nodding his head, it was.

In December, before the two biggest awards were announced, Yang Yang's status will definitely not stop.

And as long as he can maintain his current form, then as long as the rest of Liverpool's players don't hold him back, then Liverpool will be invincible and overwhelmed.

It has been said that football is a team sport.

That's right.

But this does not mean that football cannot give birth to heroes, and there will not be that kind of pride.

How many legendary superstars have stood out throughout the ages?

What others can't do, they have a way; What others feel desperate about, they can always bring hope; What others don't even dare to think about, they not only dare to think, but also dare to do, not only dare to do, but also can do it.

That's what sets superstars apart from other people.

Since the second half of last season, Yang Yang has shown the strength of a superstar, and this season is the beginning of his complete transformation, especially from the beginning of the season to the present, everyone is increasingly recognizing the fact that Yang Yang is already a superstar.

Just like the first goal just now, Yang Yang's choice was the key to the goal.

Crouch is important, but he is just a pawn in the execution of Yang Yang's ideas.

Without Crouch, there would have been Kuyt, there would have been others, but without Yang Yang, there would have been no such attack.

He's Liverpool's superstar!

Even Benitez, who has always regarded players as robots, now has to admit that if he and Liverpool want to achieve better results, such as the league title or defending the Champions League, then they need to continue, or even rely more on Yang Yang, because he is the core competitiveness of this Liverpool team.

Without Yang Yang, Liverpool's competitiveness, whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, will drop by one level.

In the past few years, the reason why the Reds have never been able to make a breakthrough in results, even if they finally reached the Champions League final, played AC Milan with such ups and downs, a very important reason is the lack of a superstar in the team.

Gerrard is good, but he's not enough.

From last year to now, in a year's time, Yang Yang has used his rapid growth and outstanding progress to convince everyone inside and outside the team that he is the key factor that Liverpool has been looking for.

Rafa Benitez described him as the key to victory, but at the same time, he was also the key to the team's title.

…………

…………

It turns out that UEFA's technical team is still very discerning.

Less than 10 minutes after the team took a one-goal lead, Sevilla created a corner on the attack, only for Reina to make a mistake and save from the corner.

Instead of being able to save the ball, Reyna interfered with Liverpool's defenders and sent the ball to the back post.

Sevilla's Brazilian midfielder Renato nodded home to pull a game back for Sevilla.

Being able to win the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons, Sevilla's overall strength should not be underestimated.

After the equaliser, the game was still played back and forth.

Juan Ramos stepped up his marking of Yang Yang on the left and Alves began to take on more defensive duties, which allowed Sevilla's attack to be curbed to a certain extent.

After all, the Spanish team is still very afraid of Yang Yang's attack on the left side.

Reyna made another mistake in the 25th minute, still on the move, he failed to grasp the ball, resulting in a late attack, which was preemptively passed to Renato by the opposing striker Canoute, and the Brazilian midfielder pushed the empty goal.

But at the critical moment, the veteran Hyypia arrived in time to shovel the ball out in front of the goal line and defuse a crisis.

Reina's instability also proves why UEFA would have abandoned the Champions League runners-up goalkeeper in favor of Chelsea's Petr Cech, because the Czech is still the most consistent even after returning from a serious injury.

Reina's successive mistakes made Benitez a little dissatisfied, and he immediately made adjustments to stabilize the team's backline.

Subsequently, the game was basically in Liverpool's control.

When the Reds are playing steadily, it will not be easy for any team to find the back of the net against Liverpool.

Especially when the opponent presses the attack, you have to watch out for the gaps behind you at all times.

Sevilla clearly don't have that kind of experience, so they appear to be more fearless.

Or maybe the first half is nearing the end and they feel safe and can give it a go.

But as it turned out, Liverpool was still on the top.

……

In the second minute of first-half stoppage time, Liverpool played a quick counter-attack after the ball broke in the middle of the field.

Xavi Alonso crossed diagonally to the left, Yang Yang cut inside when he stopped the ball and passed the ball to Gerrard, who was cut in the back row.

When Gerrard stepped forward at high speed, he pushed a straight ball directly to the ball behind him.

Escude has never been able to play at Real Madrid, switching from the Galaxy to Sevilla this summer and performing well, and he has been keeping a close eye on Yang Yang.

When Gerrard sent this through ball, Escude was the fastest to react, he knew Yang Yang's speed better than anyone else, so he chose to chase back at the first time and blocked Yang Yang on the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Two teammates who had played side by side at Ajax met in the UEFA Super Cup and formed a one-on-one battle, and Escud was very cautious, because he kept telling himself that Yang Yang was no longer the Yang Yang of the Ajax era, and now he is the most feared attacker in the world.

The French central defender was 200% focused, and all his attention was on Yang Yang.

He noticed that Yang Yang had an emergency stop at the moment he caught up with the ball, so he immediately followed the emergency stop, but he kept an extra eye, because he knew that this was likely to be Yang Yang's feint.

And sure enough, after Yang Yang stopped suddenly, he quickly started, and there was a gesture to get up and hit the door.

Escud started almost at the same time and reacted quickly to block his shot.

But what the French central defender didn't expect at all was that Yang Yang suddenly pulled the ball back with his left foot, and the whole person suddenly stopped and took advantage of the situation to dunk the ball back.

The right foot pushed to the middle, and the whole person suddenly smashed the ball and cut inside after two consecutive feints.

There was nothing Escud could do about it, he could only watch as Yang Yang dunked the ball, flashed a little space, and hit a volley with his right foot.

The ball sprinted like a cannonball, sprinting past Escud and into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Palop reacted, but was not as fast as the one he shot and was powerless to stop it.

Two to one!

Liverpool are ahead again!
