After the ninth round of the Premier League, it was a two-week international break.

Since the Chinese team will usher in the first leg of the World Cup Asian qualifiers at the end of October, the opponent is the weak Myanmar, so this time Alihan still does not plan to recruit foreign internationals, especially Yang Yang.

Myanmar is weak, mainly made up of university students and government workers, and Alihan believes that even domestic players can cope with it, and there is no need to send foreign international players.

And it turned out that the national team was 7-0 and 4-0 respectively, and defeated Myanmar in two legs to enter the top 20.

Yang Yang did not have the interference of the national team and concentrated on preparing for the game in Liverpool.

And in the meantime, the Premier League has once again announced the best appearance for September.

Liverpool and Arsenal have won four games in a row in September, while the Reds' match against Tottenham Hotspur took place in October, making Rafael Benitez and Arsene Wenger the biggest rivals.

But Arsenal were clearly the better side, with the Gunners doing better than Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 or Derby County 5-0.

As a result, Arsene Wenger beat Rafael Benitez to become Manager of the Month of the Month.

In the race for Player of the Month, Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool's 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 time that Yang Yang has won the Player of the Month award in a row.

In the comments on the official website of the Premier League, Yang Yang's outstanding performance since the beginning of this season was given a very high evaluation, especially his successive goals to help Liverpool get a winning streak, which was a great affirmation.

'The longest consecutive goal in Premier League history has been Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has scored in 10 consecutive league games for Manchester United, and Yang Yang has scored in eight consecutive games, which is not far from the record of a Dutch centre-forward.

"I believe that all Premier League fans are looking forward to Yang Yang to make history and break the legendary record of Ruud van Nistelrooy."

After a two-week break, Liverpool ushered in the tenth round of the Premier League.

This time, the Reds are visiting Goodson Park to take on city rivals Everton away.

David Moyes's side were well prepared and made Liverpool suffer from the start.

In the 38th minute, Everton were fortunate to take advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Lescott's header was crossed, and Hyypia cleared the ball with an own goal and headed the ball into his own goal, 0-1.

But after the second half of the rematch, in the 52nd minute, in a counterattack by Liverpool, Yang Yang broke through with the ball and passed straight to the penalty area, Gerrard inserted a volley, penetrated Everton's goal, and equalized the score.

Then the two sides fought inseparably, and Liverpool also fell into a bitter battle.

It wasn't until near the end of the game that Mascherano broke the ball in midfield and sent a kick behind him.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball all the way near the halfway line, broke through to Everton's penalty area, and the pendulum shook past the attacking goalkeeper Howard and calmly pushed the empty goal.

Although the central defender Jabbo went all the way back to the goal and fell to the ground to try to shovel the ball out, he finally crashed into the goal with the ball, 2-1, and Liverpool reversed the city rival.

Yang Yang also ran around the entire stadium excitedly.

It was his ninth consecutive league goal and increased his tally to 14 Premier League goals this season.

After playing Everton, Liverpool made the long flight to Turkey to take on Besiktas away.

With Daniel Aager still not back from injury, Liverpool still chose Hyypia and Carragher to start.

As a result, in the opening thirteen minutes, Hyypia once again set himself up for an own goal.

Liverpool then launched a frantic counter-attack.

Steven Gerrard played a one-two with Kuyt on the right and the Liverpool captain burst into the box to form a one-on-one, but his shot was saved by the opposition goalkeeper.

But just when everyone thought that the shooting opportunity was missed, Yang Yang suddenly appeared in Besiktas's penalty area like a ghost, calmly picked up the leak and hit the shot, one to one!

After the score was equalized, the two sides continued to go back and forth, attacking and defending each other.

In the second half, after the rematch, in the 52nd minute, Liverpool's right Kuyt crossed, Crouch's header was ferried, and the Besiktas defender's header cleared, but the ball did not fly far, Yang Yang jumped directly to the top near the penalty spot in the middle, and pushed the ball into the goal, two to one.

Reversed the score, and Liverpool's morale was greatly boosted.

Besiktas launched a frantic counter-attack, but Liverpool held on.

But in the eighty-second minute, Hyypia made another undeserved mistake.

Besiktas players passed the ball, and the Liverpool central defender blindly blocked it when defending, but was avoided by the opponent and passed to the goal, assisting his teammates to score a single goal, 2-2.

Liverpool were unable to find the back of the net against Besiktas until the end of the game.

The Reds suffered two consecutive draws in the Champions League group stage.

……

With two own-goals in a row and major mistakes, Hyypia's form is hard to reassure.

The 34-year-old has indeed seen a sharp decline in form this season, with the introduction of a centre-back during the winter break also on Liverpool's agenda, with Rafael Benitez urging the club to step up reinforcements.

While Liverpool is actively operating transfers and strengthening reinforcements, other teams are also poaching Liverpool.

Because after Mascherano joined the team, Malian midfielder Mohamed Sissoko, who gradually lost his main position, also moved the idea of leaving, because his strength is very good, and his characteristics are very obvious, so there is no shortage of potential buyers.

For example, Juventus in Serie A coveted him and was very interested.

However, Benitez is still trying his best to keep Sissoko and hopes that the Malian can stay in the team.

At the very least, after playing this season, we will leave.

……

After three rounds of group stage play, Liverpool's situation is a bit 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 led to controversy between manager Rafael Benitez and the team.

Except for Yang Yang, who has scored consecutive goals, all the other players have been criticized, and the team is under heavy pressure.

Fortunately, after three rounds of matches, Liverpool is first in the group with five points, Marseille is also second in the group with five points, and Porto is one win, one draw and one loss, with only four points and is in third place.

Besiktas only drew at home to Liverpool in this round and finished bottom of the group with one point.

But by any measure, Liverpool's report card is unsatisfactory.

…………

…………

October 20th, 8th afternoon, Anfield Stadium.

In the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Arsenal.

Xavi Alonso has finally returned from injury, but the Spanish midfield is clearly not back to its best.

Arsenal adopted a four-five-one tactical style of play, with five midfielders in the configuration.

Arsene Wenger's strategy is clear, which is to play the back against the side, control the ball and use his passing advantage to keep Liverpool firmly at bay and try to win away from home.

The Gunners' strategy was not over-the-top as they won the Champions League at home in midweek against an underdog like Slavia Prague and won comfortably 7-0, while Liverpool travelled thousands of kilometres back and forth to Turkey.

Coupled with Xavi Alonso's recent return from injury, Hyypia's recent poor form and shaky backline, the Reds dare not be careless even on their home turf.

The game also started as if it were going according to Arsenal's strategy.

The Gunners launched a scramble from the start and kept possession firmly.

Liverpool's players are physically and mentally exhausted, even physical players like Yang Yang and Mascherano are starting to be a little overwhelmed, and Arsenal's fast and accurate ground penetration passes, as well as the team's excellent physical fitness brought about by the wide range of running, make them almost pervasive.

Reflected on the field, Arsenal frequently launched offensives, and Liverpool's back line found loopholes, but they couldn't be blocked, and they could only be seized by Arsenal again and again.

The biggest surprise in the whole first half came from a stroke of luck, that is, Cesc Fabregas fouled Xavi Alonso, Yang Yang took a free kick on the left side this time, directly hit the wall, Flamini could not clear in time, but Gerrard who was inserted behind seized the opportunity, and directly shot through the Arsenal goal.

But then, Arsenal continued to control the ball and chances on the pitch, and frequently created killing chances.

If it weren't for the poor ability of players such as Bam Adebayor to take chances, Arsenal would have been able to score at least two goals in the first half.

On the other hand, Liverpool's overall performance is still relatively sluggish, and the midfield is completely at a disadvantage.

After the rematch in the second half, Benitez immediately made a substitution, with Crouch coming on in place of Volonin.

Liverpool made changes to their attack, but Arsenal still scored a goal.

In the 70th minute, Hleb made a direct pass from the left, Fabregas successfully countered offside, dribbled into the penalty area, and scored with a low shot.

It was the Spanish midfielder's ninth goal of the season and his fifth league goal.

After the scoreline was equalised, Arsenal attacked more quickly and fiercely.

The Gunners' overall fitness is better, while many of Liverpool's players are barely able to run.

Mascherano even suffered cramps during a tackle and the team doctor had to rush in and carry him to the sidelines, but soon the Argentine was back on the pitch.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are a frequent threat.

First, Walcott's cross from the right was cleared by Liverpool vice-captain Carragher's header, and then Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot from the edge of the box was saved by Reina, Adebayor made a follow-up shot from close range, and the Spanish goalkeeper reacted quickly to block the ball.

With two saves in a row, Reyna showed great tenacity.

And the whole Anfield stadium was filled with the singing of Liverpool fans.

The song "You Never Walk Alone" floated in the air of Anfield.

Everyone knows that the team has encountered a lot of problems and its performance is not ideal, and for a period of time, almost all of them have been supported by Yang Yang alone.

But in this game, even Yang Yang was obviously tired, and he was frozen by Sagna and Flamini for almost the entire game.

So who else can Liverpool rely on?
