697 Conquest of the Premier League
December 28 at noon, St. James' Park.
In the twentieth round of the Premier League, Newcastle hosted Liverpool.
Reds manager Rafael Benitez was still out for the game with kidney stones, with assistant coach Jesterdam in charge.
From the start of the game, Liverpool dominated the game with an anti-opponent attack.
With two games in three days, it was clear that both teams were under heavy pressure.
Two days before playing Bolton, Liverpool had already made a rotation.
In this game, Liverpool discharged goalkeeper Reina, a combination of Aurelio, Hyypia, Carragher and Arbeloa in the backline, and Mascherano in the midfield, partnered with Lucas Rewa, Gerrard rushed forward, Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt formed the front trident.
Yang Yang only played 60 minutes against Bolton Wanderers in the last round, but scored a brace.
After scoring twice in a row, Yang Yang has shown an astonishing outburst in the Christmas Devils schedule this season.
Everyone is also looking forward to Yang Yang's performance in this game.
……
For the first 30 minutes, Liverpool were firmly in control of the pitch and patiently looking for opportunities.
Newcastle retreated across the board and tried to avoid mistakes.
But in the 31st minute, Mascherano suddenly rushed into the 30-metre area of Newcastle, and after a steal, quickly passed behind the defense on the right, Kuyt followed up and crossed with his right foot to the back post.
The unguarded Yang Yang appeared in front of the left post like a ghost, and easily pushed and hit the incoming ball.
1 to 0!
Yang Yang was so excited that the whole person cheered.
"With three consecutive rounds of goals, this year's Christmas is definitely a memorable year for Yang Yang!"
……
After scoring a goal, Liverpool soon organised another wave of attacks.
Yang Yang started to be very active on the left side.
Five minutes later, Yang Yang created a corner, Gerrard took the corner, and Hyypia nodded the ball to the goal, making it another goal for Liverpool, 2-0!
But just before the end of the first half, there was also a corner kick and chaos in the Liverpool penalty area when Edgar headed home to pull one back for Newcastle.
After the rematch in the second half, Liverpool had another corner kick, Gerrard took a corner, Crouch crossed to the goal, Yang Yang jumped high, grabbed the header before everyone else, and once again broke the Newcastle goal.
"Three to one! It's Yang Yang again! Another brace! ”
With a shout from Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, Yang Yang quickly rushed out of the stadium and rushed all the way to the corner area where the Liverpool fans were, frantically spreading his arms to accept the cheers from the stands.
"Oh my God, it's unbelievable!"
"Yang Yang has scored twice in three consecutive league games, which is definitely an incredible explosion."
'It's also his 25th league goal so far this season.'
"It's incredible! No one could have imagined that Yang Yang would suddenly usher in such an amazing outbreak during the winter break. ”
"I still remember that two years ago on that Christmas schedule, Cristiano Ronaldo also scored two goals in three consecutive rounds, and then Messi also scored two goals in three consecutive rounds in the closing stage of the season in Barcelona."
"But this wave of Yang Yang's outburst is obviously completely different from all of them."
"In the past three years, Yang Yang's performance during the winter break and Christmas has been criticized, but now, as he gradually adapts to the schedule and rhythm of the Premier League, as he gradually integrates into the Premier League, he has begun to overcome his weaknesses and shortcomings, and proved his strength to everyone with three consecutive braces."
"He's conquered the last hurdle of the Premier League and there's nothing going to stop him here!"
……
After scoring two goals, Yang Yang is still not satisfied.
He felt that he was still in great form, so he made a discussion with Yesterdam on the sidelines, hoping to stay on the pitch and at least play for a while.
As a result, Yang Yang, who was supposed to be substituted in the 60th minute, got another very good chance in the 66th minute, which was a break from the back, and Lucas Rewa sent a precise through ball.
Yang Yang tore apart Newcastle's defense as quickly as possible, and after getting rid of the defense of Argentine central defender Coloccini, he drove straight into the penalty area with the ball, and calmly scored in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Given.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Crazy! Yang Yang is completely crazy! ”
"Four to one! Hat-trick! ”
"Yang Yang scored a hat trick!"
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he rushed out of the stadium with excitement and rushed to the bottom of the fan stands again, this time he turned around directly and opened his arms to his teammates who rushed over, especially Lucas Reva, who assisted him, and hugged the opponent.
He was so excited, so excited!
"God, who can stop him?"
"Who else can stop Yang Yang?"
"Seven goals were scored in three games, and Yang Yang used an almost crazy performance so that everyone had to bow down to him."
"After today, who else will question Yang Yang's performance during the winter break and Christmas?"
"There should be none!"
"Who could have demanded more from him than to be able to play in such crazy form during the winter break?"
"The whole Premier League has been conquered by him!"
……
When Yang Yang was replaced by Gareth Bale in the 70th minute, there was a round of applause in St James' Park, apparently not only from Liverpool fans, but also from Newcastle United at home.
They were applauding Yang Yang's performance, even though he had just scored a hat-trick on the pitch, but a good performance is good.
Today's Newcastle is obviously no longer the strong Magpies of the past, but the fans here still retain a trace of pride from the past, so they are willing to applaud and cheer for Yang Yang.
Yang Yang was also very grateful to the fans for their love, he applauded the fans, bowed and thanked him after the game, and finally hugged Yesterdam and sat back on the bench.
……
Five minutes after Yang Yang came off the pitch, Liverpool also quickly replaced Steven Gerrard.
Newcastle then fouled in the box and Xavi Alonso converted the penalty to make it five to one.
In the end, Liverpool beat Newcastle 5-1 away and won the three points again.
…………
…………
Liverpool ended the Devil's Christmas season with three straight wins around Christmas, ending all competitions in 2008 to a full house of applause.
Eighteen wins, one draw and one defeat in 20 games, this record card is enough to make Liverpool stand out from the crowd.
Everyone firmly believes that as long as they maintain their current form, Liverpool's title will be a certainty.
Because after 20 rounds, Liverpool is at the top of the Premier League with an impressive record of 55 points.
Manchester United followed with 13 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats in 20 games, with 44 points, 11 points behind Liverpool and in second place, and Manchester United have won the last three rounds 1-0, but won a Club World Cup in the middle.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored for several rounds in a row, and the Portuguese has suffered a goal drought and a very sluggish performance, which has everyone worried about his future.
According to the analysis of external media, an important reason for the Portuguese's poor performance is that he was hit by the European Ballon d'Or, which made him very sluggish and his temper became more and more out of control after entering December.
In the last round against Stoke City, the Portuguese were choked by the neck and almost clashed.
The outside media expressed disappointment with Cristiano Ronaldo's slump, believing that the Portuguese had not been able to stabilize his emotions well, and his performance this season was much worse than before.
The Sun argues with a conspiracy that Cristiano Ronaldo's poor performance is due to his lack of motivation to stay in the Premier League, and he prefers to go to Real Madrid and play for the Galaxy.
But that claim was quickly refuted by Alex Ferguson, with the United boss stating that the Portuguese would remain at United.
However, Ronaldo's agent Mendes said ambiguously in an interview with the media that it is too early to say anything, "The only thing Cristiano thinks about now is to play and play for Manchester United, as for the rest, he will not think about it for the time being, maybe he will give an answer after the end of the season." ”
According to some media, Ferguson was very dissatisfied with Mendes's statement, because this was a signal from the Portuguese agent to Real Madrid.
But in any case, Cristiano Ronaldo's disappointing performances this season are true.
On the one hand, Yang Yang's brilliance, on the other hand, Xiao Xiaoluo's downturn, but this season, under the coaching of Guardiola, Messi has become more and more vigorous in Barcelona, and even the call of the dream three team has faintly appeared.
Before the season, no one thought that Pep Guardiola, who had no professional coaching experience before, would be able to bring the previously messy Barcelona to the current strength.
In this season's La Liga, Barcelona won 13 of 16 games, drew 2 and lost 1, only slightly inferior to Liverpool in terms of results, but the overall strength is the best in European football.
As the star of Barcelona, Messi also shined with the overall performance of the team, showed surprising strength, and began to faintly show the strength of the top superstars competing with Yang Yang and Xiao Xiaoluo.
On the other hand, AC Milan's Kaka has declined somewhat significantly in the past two years, which is also related to AC Milan's overall results.
Therefore, so far, Yang Yang, Xiao Xiao Luo and Messi, the three superstars in European football, have begun to faintly show a three-legged situation, and Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular.
Even the Catalan media broke the news that in the case of having Messi, Guardiola still remembers Yang Yang, hoping that the management can transfer in the summer of 09 and operate Yang Yang again, so that Yang Yang and Messi can form a super striker.
As everyone knows, an undercurrent has been surging in Madrid.
