"Haha, smart! It's so witty! ”

After the training session, his teammates all surrounded Yang Yang and cared about the Q&A he had just given to media reporters.

When Yang Yang smiled and said the trick, the surrounding teammates immediately applauded.

That's too tricky, isn't it?

"If Cristiano Ronaldo hears the news, he will definitely have the heart to cry." Xavi Alonso was also amused by Yang Yang's response.

The Spanish midfielder is a well-known good reader in the team, he often nibbles on a book, a bit of a literary youth, and he also plays very smart on the field, so he is also very appetizing for Yang Yang's way of coping.

"You are so cunning, I won't dare to compete with you in the future." Carragher made a bitter gourd face.

At least, he couldn't think of such a response, especially in such a short period of time.

Many teammates around him also nodded, and smart people are awe-inspiring wherever they go.

Even the assistant coach Jesterdam was appreciative.

Yang Yang dug a big hole for Cristiano Ronaldo this time, and the Portuguese had to jump, because he took the initiative to provoke, and after Yang Yang responded to the battle, if he chose to retreat, then he would be embarrassed.

But if he jumped in, the result would be desperate.

The goal in the opening ten seconds is really unattainable.

On the contrary, it is difficult to connect three people, but it is indeed possible, especially for Yang Yang.

So the topic of discussion quickly shifted to how to connect the three people.

Previously, Yang Yang used Benitez's promise to win the opportunity for his teammates during the Christmas holiday, which was well received in the team, and this time everyone also said that they would do their best to help him.

"No matter how many people you have in a row, the main thing is to take advantage of the positioning mistakes of the opposing defenders to create chances, and against a team that defends closely, this is certainly unrealistic."

Xavi Alonso tried to analyse the situation, "So, generally speaking, there are only two situations, either you go from defending to attacking and play quickly in a short period of time, or you have to meet a team with a poor defensive position. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

Over the past few years, the arrival of continental managers such as Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez and Houllier has brought innovation to the already rough tactics of the Premier League, resulting in the emergence of teams such as Chelsea, Everton, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.

But there will also be some teams that still adhere to the traditional style of play in the Premier League, such as Tottenham Hotspur, Blackburn, West Ham United, Fulham and other teams, all of which have poor defense.

Even like Arsenal in the strong team, the defense is quite problematic, and Manchester United's own defense is also not very good, especially in the central defender position, the Red Devils lost the league title last season because his defense was so bad.

After an analysis and discussion by his teammates, Yang Yang began to find that in fact, as long as the timing is good, it is not impossible to even have three people, or even four or five people.

Of course, it is not easy to seize this opportunity.

But in any case, it's more hopeful than scoring in the opening 10 seconds, right?

That's a matter of luck that comes to an end.

…………

…………

Yang Yang didn't know what kind of expression Cristiano Ronaldo would have after receiving his own counterattack.

He doesn't have any interest in any of these either, as Liverpool will face a series of tough battles ahead.

The Champions League group stage began to ignite the fire, with the first game being an away game against PSV Eindhoven.

After the trip to the Netherlands, Liverpool will travel again to take on Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

As early as before the season, Benitez was very dissatisfied with Liverpool's schedule, because the first round of strong conversations were all away, which is undoubtedly quite unfavorable for Liverpool, who are aiming to challenge for the league title.

Especially considering that after the Champions League ignites the fire, Liverpool will usher in a double-front, or even multi-front, battle.

Everyone will be surprised to see Liverpool's starting line-up against PSV Eindhoven because the team's best fighting force did not play.

The likes of Yang Yang, Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Hyypia were all on the bench, Peter Crouch didn't even make the squad, and Pennant, Zenden and Luis Garcia were given starts.

The forward line is led by Kuyt, who is familiar with the Eredivisie.

Rafael Benitez's line-up was clear, and everyone in the squad knew equally well that a draw would be a satisfactory outcome for this one.

What really matters is the weekend game against Chelsea.

That was the key game that everyone at Liverpool took seriously.

The game started off to a rough start, with PSV Eindhoven taking advantage of home advantage to control the situation and the initiative, and the first 20 minutes of possession were as high as 65 per cent, but Liverpool's defence was good.

The backline of Finnen, Carragher, Daniel Ag and Volnock was solid and didn't give PSV Eindhoven too many chances, while Mohamed Sissoko was equally good in midfield.

When the defense is solid, the team has more opportunities to counterattack.

So, it was interesting to see PSV Eindhoven in the ascendancy, Liverpool in the scoring opportunities and the Eredivisie side not even in a threatening attack.

…………

…………

Yang Yang sat on the bench on the sidelines, watching the game on the court with his own eyes, and he felt very embarrassed.

This is the difference in overall strength!

When he was at Ajax before, every time he played PSV Eindhoven, he had to give it his all and play very hard.

But when it came to Liverpool, even half of the substitute lineup was dispatched, but they did not fall behind on the field.

Possession was inferior, but there were more threats to attack.

This is the huge gap between the big four league teams and the Eredivisie powerhouses, and the attacking combination that PSV Eindhoven swept through the Eredivisie could not pose a threat in front of Liverpool.

Eredivisie genius Afelai is even more dumb and inactive.

'If it's at the same level, back at Anfield, it's not very difficult for us to win PSV Eindhoven. On the bench, Gerrard looked sideways at Yang Yang and said confidently.

Yang Yang nodded, he also felt the same way.

"Our current offensive problem is still on the counterattack, if Crouch is here, we will directly look for him at this high point, and the teammates around him will grab the second landing point, and he will have scored a goal long ago." Xavi Alonso also said confidently.

Judging from the game, Eindhoven's strength is indeed inferior to Liverpool.

However, after the rematch in the second half, PSV Eindhoven suddenly made a strong attack, and in the 59th and 61st minutes, he played two threatening attacks in a row.

"It's almost my turn." Xavi Alonso said with a smile as he returned from warming up outside.

It was planned before the game, with Xavi Alonso coming on for Mohamed Sissoko.

With this rotation, you can save yourself for the big game against Chelsea at the weekend.

'The Eredivisie has always been very man-marking, especially in sports, and now PSV Eindhovenken is pressing out and playing, which is a good thing for us. Yang Yang leaned over and said to Xavi Alonso.

He has been in the Eredivisie for three years, and he still has experience in how to play in the Eredivisie team.

"So, you have to let your teammates run more, intersperse runs, stretch their defensive positions, and then cut in gaps diagonally, and then the opportunity will appear, and that's the disadvantage of man-marking."

Xavi Alonso nodded heavily.

Sure enough, soon, Yesterdam came over and got Xavi Alonso ready to play.

When the Spaniard walked to the sidelines and listened to Benitez's instructions, he didn't know what to say, Benitez turned his head and looked at Yang Yang deeply, and then nodded to Xavi Alonso.

After Xavi Alonso went up, Liverpool began to control the situation on the pitch.

This made Yang Yang on the sidelines look very strange.

This is simply a completely incomprehensible phenomenon.

Except for Xavi Alonso for Mohamed Sissoko, all the other players on the field have not changed, but this substitution has made Liverpool's midfield more organized and not flustered at all, but has organized and planned several attacks.

Just five minutes later, Kuyt had a great chance to run through the middle and fired a powerful shot that almost found the PSV Eindhoven goal.

Ten minutes after Xavi Alonso came on, Steven Gerrard came on in place of Robbie Fowler.

Just three minutes later, Finnan's cross from the right was met by Kuyt, who got another chance and shot wide.

This was followed by a shot from Luis Garcia on the left.

As the clock ticked by, PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool both made two substitutions.

With Xavi Alonso and Steven Gerrard on the pitch, the Reds' attacks became more and more aggressive, but they were always close to scoring.

Rafael Benitez finally made his third substitution in the 82nd minute.

Yang Yang replaces Luis Garcia.

When Yang Yang came on the pitch, he could vaguely hear boos from the stands at the Philips Stadium, and the Eindhoven fans had clearly not forgotten the painful memories that Yang Yang had brought to them.

They're scared! In fear!

And Yang Yang did not disappoint them.

Benitez gave him only one arrangement, and that was to intersperse runs, pull away from the defense, and try to score goals.

After Yang Yang came on the field, he formed a strong breakthrough on the left with his first touch of the ball, but was cleared by PSV Eindhoven central defender Alex when he passed into the box.

But just three minutes later, after receiving a pass from Xavi Alonso on the left side, Yang Yang suddenly started and cut inside with the ball.

Kuyt understood and retreated from the front, looking like he was coming to meet Yang Yang, but in fact he pulled out Alex.

After Yang Yang's right-footed diagonal pass, Gerrard quickly cut into the penalty area, stopped the ball, shot, and did it in one go!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

In the 86th minute, Liverpool assisted Gerrard by Yang Yang and scored the killer goal!
