In the morning, after Yang Yang came to Melwood, he immediately received the latest news.

Mohamed Sissoko dislocated his right shoulder and is conservatively estimated to be out for a month.

It was yesterday's game against Birmingham, and in the 27th minute, Sissoko fell to the ground after a scramble with the opposing midfielder Nafti, and then was carried off the field and taken directly to the hospital in Birmingham, where he was diagnosed with a dislocated position.

"It was an accident."

In the gym, Winston Bogard also said to Yang Yang with a wry smile on his face.

"On the football field, it's rare to have this type of injury, like the shoulder, or the eye, but it's also weird to say, I looked up Sissoko's case, he hurt his eye last season, and he hurt his shoulder this season."

After saying that, Winston Bogard himself sighed, and even exclaimed bad luck.

Indeed, there is really no way to explain this phenomenon other than bad luck and bad luck.

What's worse is that Liverpool don't have a midfielder to choose from.

"In order to buy you before, Liverpool dismissed several substitutes, and the veteran Hamann also left, and now Sissoko is injured, and there is really no one in this position."

Yang Yang just finished a set of bench presses, put the barbell back directly, and after listening to Winston Bogard's words, he turned his head to look at the Dutchman, "You mean, I have to blame for this?" ”

Seeing Yang Yang's ill-intentioned eyes, Winston Bogard immediately smiled, "Just kidding." ”

"Wallgrass." Yang Yang scolded with a smile, "But don't say it, Sissoko's injury is really not the right time." ”

The twelfth round of the Premier League will be held at the weekend, and this time against Arsenal.

This season, Liverpool has beaten Chelsea and Manchester United, the two strong opponents, it stands to reason that Arsenal is the weakest of the top four, it is not difficult for Liverpool to win the opponent, and everyone is determined to win.

But Sissoko's injury, the midfield iron triangle is missing a corner, and it is a big blow to Liverpool.

In the past period, Sissokok has always been responsible for the task of midfield defense and interception, and in his absence, the midfield is bound to become weak and no longer strong, and the loss of a strong midfield as a support will inevitably affect the team's combat effectiveness.

"Liverpool's first winter was not easy!" Yang Yang sighed in his heart.

He's just a player and all he can do is play and score goals for Liverpool as best he can.

That's all he can do.

…………

…………

Yang Yang's idea also almost represents the idea of Liverpool.

Nowadays, the importance of midfield to a team does not need to be said at all, and Sissoko's injury and retirement has dealt a painful blow to Liverpool's midfield.

At the weekend, in the twelfth round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Arsenal away.

The match was scheduled for 16 p.m., and it was a prime-time matchup.

With Sissoko out injured, Liverpool's midfield brought on Cendon to partner Xavi Alonso and Steven Gerrard.

The reason is simple, in the league against Birmingham, Zenden was very eye-catching.

But as it turned out, the League Cup was just a League Cup after all.

In the 11th minute, after receiving a kick-off from Reina, Yang Yang forced the ball into the penalty area on the left side of the penalty area, and hit the far corner with a curling ball to open the scoring for Liverpool.

It was also Yang Yang's 10th Premier League goal for Liverpool.

But just before the end of the first half, Arsenal managed to equalise.

French defender Flamini cut in from the back and stabbed home in front of goal, the first Premier League goal of his career.

After the rematch in the second half, Arsenal quickly used their advantage to control the game, firmly suppressed Liverpool, and in the 67th minute, a corner kick was successfully reversed by Gallas into Liverpool's goal.

In the end, Liverpool came home 1-2 away.

Although Yang Yang scored a goal in this game, his performance was not very good under the joint care of Eboue and Gilberto Silva, especially when he lost ground in midfield.

And after this round of matches, Arsenal caught up with Liverpool, and both teams had twenty-four points.

Chelsea climb second in the league with 25 points, while Manchester United lead the Premier League table with 28.

On the scorer list, Drogba relied on his hat trick in this round to chase Yang Yang again.

The Ivory Coast Elephant Kings have scored eight league goals this season and are only two goals away from Yang Yang's ten.

…………

…………

A week later, the thirteenth round of the Premier League.

Liverpool suffered another away blow as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Middlesbrough.

Unlike other teams who were distracted by midweek European games, the Reds had already qualified early and played as hard as they could, but they still failed to win on the road.

The loss to Arsenal in the last round made Benitez decide to change the formation in this round and adopt a formation similar to 442.

Yang Yang and Pennant played on the wings, Kuyt and Krauser played as two strikers, and Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso in the middle.

Although it was a wing, Benitez allowed Yang Yang to get closer to the opponent's defense.

But in the face of Middlesbrough's iron bucket formation, Liverpool's attacks were futile again and again, and finally failed to score.

The other top three teams are also not playing well.

Manchester United struggled to win 2-1 away at Sheffield United thanks to Wayne Rooney's brace.

Arsenal drew 1-1 at home to Newcastle thanks to Thierry Henry's goal.

Chelsea scored from substitute Geremi as they narrowly beat West Ham United 1-0 at home.

As for Liverpool's performance in the last two rounds, the British media on the one hand feels that Sissoko's absence has hit the team hard, but it is also related to the Premier League's monthly magic curse.

Liverpool's coaching staff are also working hard to develop a strategy for the winter break, especially with Mohamed Sissoko's injury uncertain, and it is also necessary to plan ahead of time.

The two most likely positions to be brought in at the moment are midfielder and right wing-back.

According to information from within Liverpool, the right wing-back has been decided, and Benitez wants to bring in La Liga Deportivo player Arbeloa.

The player, who came through Real Madrid's academy and has been in excellent La Liga this season, is hoping to bring him in to Liverpool to compete with the 30-year-old Finnen, who is expected to be around €3 million.

As for the recruitment of the midfielder in the back position, this is indeed a big problem, because the difficulty of finding a midfielder is a problem in the whole of European football.

Yang Yang heard the news that Benitez's top candidate for reinforcement is Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano who plays for West Ham United, but this player has not proven himself since joining the Premier League.

He suffered a serious injury in March and took a six-month break before moving to West Ham United and has not been liked by manager Alan Pardew since his move to West Ham United, making just four Premier League appearances so far, two of which came as a garbage time substitute and not even being included in the squad for the rest of the games.

It can be said that such a player, except for cheapness, really has nothing worthy of Liverpool.

Including everyone in the team, they are wondering, what does Benitez like about Mascherano?

…………

…………

Although the team's performance in the Premier League has been low, it is still very good in the Champions League.

Yang Yang came off the bench in the second half, but he immediately provided two assists for Liverpool's 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven, scored by Steven Gerrard and Crouch.

Among them, Crouch's goal was still in stoppage time.

It can be said that this victory established Liverpool's top spot in the group, and even the theoretical possibility is gone.

PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, will have to do everything in their power to finish second in the group.

……

Back to the Premier League.

In the fourteenth round, the Premier League once again ushered in a key battle.

Manchester United host Chelsea.

The Red Devils have had a disappointing home game this season, losing first to Arsenal, then to Liverpool, and now facing Chelsea, and everyone is in a cold sweat for Ferguson.

Liverpool, on the other hand, hosted Manchester City.

Finally ushered in a Chinese derby of the new season, Yang Yang started, but Sun Jihai, who plays for Manchester City, sat on the bench, and the starting right wing-back became Yang Yang's teammate at Ajax, Trabelsi.

The Tunisia international didn't perform well after two seasons at Juventus, and with Juventus relegated this season, he also left the Bianconeri in favour of Manchester City in the Premier League.

In this game, he was responsible for marking Yang Yang, but the result still gave Yang Yang a chance to assist Gerrard to score.

It was the only goal of the game.

Liverpool beat Manchester City 1-0.

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Chelsea, while Arsenal suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat at Bolton Wanderers.

The brutality of the Premier League is evident in this round of fixtures.

Even if it is the traditional top four, as long as you are not careful, there is an immediate danger of capsizing in the gutter.

Liverpool are back in third place in the league, three points ahead of Arsenal, just one point behind Chelsea but five behind league leaders Manchester United.

The first half of the league is not over yet, and five points behind is not a far-fetched gap.

Even the British media are understanding of Liverpool's current situation, because Sissoko's absence has indeed dealt a big blow to the Reds, but everyone agrees that Liverpool must make adjustments as soon as possible.

Many celebrities, including Alan Hansen, also believe that in the 442 formation, limiting Yang Yang to the left is a luxury, and at the same time greatly weakening his attacking power.

"Perhaps, Benitez can consider making Yang Yang's position a little more forward, such as a striker!"

……

A week later, the fifteenth round of the Premier League.

Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Portsmouth.

Benitez still put on a 442 formation, and the attack still hasn't improved much.

And this time, the Liverpool manager finally couldn't sit still.

The day after the Portsmouth game, he directly called Yang Yang to the manager's office, not only admitting that there was a problem with his lineup, but also saying, "I need you to take on more attacking tasks next!" ”
