In the home game against Wigan Athletic, Yang Yang did not start, but continued to sit on the bench.

Because he will face two key matchups next, and both away from home.

Benitez made a lot of changes in this game, from front to back, and there were a lot of substitutions, which caused the team to not play well, especially in the first half, and it could even be said that it played a little badly.

Daniel Ager started in place of Skrtel and the Danish centre-back opened the scoring for Liverpool with a beautiful back-row cut in the first half, burst into the left side of the box and set up Kuyt's goal.

Then the two sides played very closely, until the second half, Liverpool made substitutions one after another.

Yang Yang came on as a substitute for Gareth Bale in the 70th minute, and the Welshman's performance in this game was clearly improved, although it still did not meet Liverpool's expectations, but at least it made people see improvement.

Not long after Yang Yang came on the field, he continued to create a threat on the left side, especially in the 80th minute, Yang Yang and Gareth Barry had a left-sided cooperation, Barry returned a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Yang Yang curled the ball at the top of the penalty area.

The ball went straight into the bottom right corner to extend the score for Liverpool, 2-0.

Three minutes later, Pennant set up Kuyt for another goal and the Dutchman scored a brace.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home to continue the winning streak in the new season.

……

After eight rounds, everyone is shocked by Liverpool's stability.

Last season, Liverpool won the league title, and at the start of the season, Rafael Benitez's side once again showed a solid balance of attack and defence, as well as an overall advantage in quality.

Eight wins in eight games, Liverpool played every game without danger and scored points steadily.

This has also led many British media to believe that this season's Premier League title is estimated to be in Liverpool's pocket.

However, in this round, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 5-0 away, Arsenal beat Everton 3-1 at home, Manchester United won 4-0 at home to West Ham United, and the Premier League semi-finals were all completely victorious.

As for Manchester City, which has been in the limelight in the summer, this round is a 2-1 draw away to Newcastle with one more person than the opponent.

It also brings a renewed glimpse into the limitations of the Manchester City team.

At the very least, if they want to challenge for the Premier League semi-finals, Blue Moon needs to show a better performance.

It has been reported that Manchester City are interested in bringing in Kaka during the winter break, which is currently in active operation.

After this round, the Premier League officially announced that Liverpool's Yang Yang won the Player of the Month for September.

It was the first time he had won the honour this season, thanks to his impressive back-to-back scoring performances in September.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez defeated his arch-rival, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, to win the Manager of the Month.

Winning two more awards is also a huge boost for Liverpool.

…………

On the evening of October 22, at the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool challenged Atletico Madrid away.

This is undoubtedly a crucial battle to determine the top spot in this group, with both Liverpool and Atletico Madrid winning the first two rounds, and the next third and fourth rounds of home-and-away matchups will undoubtedly determine the top spot in the group.

And everyone knows that the first place in the group is not only a ranking, but more importantly, the advantage of the next 16 opponents.

Liverpool are visiting Madrid and are aiming for a draw as the team next plays Chelsea in the league.

It's a very bad kind of fixture, and against that, Atletico Madrid away and Liverpool stay and focus on Chelsea, because the latter is a strong conversation and an away game, which has a very big impact on the situation in the Premier League.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool also has a home stadium.

Contrary to Liverpool's concept, Atletico Madrid has played a determined to win from the beginning, with Torres and Forlan as the two strikers frequently attacking Liverpool.

The Reds have invested heavily in the defensive end, with Mascherano and Xavi Alonso leading the two midfielders firmly ensuring the stability of the team's backline and defusing Atletico Madrid's attacks again and again.

But after fifteen minutes, Liverpool started to push.

In the twentieth minute, Gerrard counterattacked in the middle with a direct pass, tearing apart Atletico Madrid's defense, Yang Yang quickly inserted, after getting the ball, he dribbled horizontally in the front of the penalty area, and after wiping past central defender Perea, he directly volleyed and broke through Atletico Madrid's goal.

Liverpool then launched a fierce attack on the Sheets, with Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Yang Yang all getting shots to keep Atletico Madrid at bay.

The coach of the Sheets Army, Aguirre, was also ruthless, and directly at halftime, he took Luis Garcia and replaced it with Argentine teenager Aguero, and put four forwards in front of him.

For more than a dozen minutes, Atletico Madrid dominated the field, Forlan passed behind him again, Torres stepped in and slotted home, but the referee signaled offside, which caused a strong controversy.

But in the 61st minute, it was a direct pass from Gerrard, Yang Yang forced his speed advantage into the penalty area with his speed advantage when he was a cut behind, and stabbed the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal before goalkeeper Franco hit in place, 2-0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

'A quick counter-attack from Liverpool.'

"Mascherano broke the ball, Gerrard passed directly, Yang Yang was like a sharp knife, and he pierced the defense of Atletico Madrid at once, 2-0!"

"Yang Yang scored a brace, which was also his fourth goal in the Champions League this season!"

……

But the fans at the Calderón Stadium booed overwhelmingly.

No one likes this, on their own doorstep, scoring their own goal, and then flaunting their power to celebrate the goal.

Boos are already the greatest tolerance, and it would be nice not to throw him pig's head.

Yang Yang was soon substituted, with Gareth Bale coming off the bench again to play as a left winger.

Subsequently, Lucas Rewa also replaced Xavi Alonso.

Liverpool made successive substitutions to save time for the weekend against Chelsea, while Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to recover a goal in the 83rd minute, Forlan crossed from the edge of the penalty area, and Simão fired a low shot from the left rib to make it 1-2.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 with Yang Yang's brace.

The head coach of the Sheets Army, Aguirre, said after the game that this game showed Atletico Madrid the gap between themselves and the top European teams, and Atletico Madrid learned a lot.

Atletico Madrid captain Torres also said in an interview with Spanish media after the game that he has always admired Yang Yang.

'He's a very good player, he can run, he can pass, he can shoot, he's very versatile, he can go down the left and he can cut inside, which is a disaster for all defenders, and he's the heart of Liverpool's attack on the pitch.

The British Reuters news agency also commented immediately after the game, sighing: "Yang Yang is the world's top attacker!" ”

The Guardian said that Yang Yang tore apart Atletico Madrid's defense twice.

"It turns out that as long as Liverpool's midfield is functioning properly and can create scoring opportunities, Yang Yang is the most feared killer on the planet!"

In addition to Yang Yang, Gerrard has also been unanimously appreciated and affirmed by the outside world.

Goalkeeper Reyna also showed a very high standard in this game, and the Guardian even described his performance as magical Reina, especially in the final stage, but it is worrying that Reina's performance has been inconsistent all the time.

While Liverpool narrowly beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 away to the house and won a lot of applause, at Stamford Bridge in London, England, the home team Chelsea narrowly beat Roma 1-0, but it was met with huge controversy.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti openly expressed his disbelief in the result in his post-match press conference.

'Chelsea's only chance to open the scoring came from a set-piece in the 77th minute!'

The Roma boss's implication was clear that Chelsea had won too much of a fluke, and without this free-kick, Roma would have been able to walk away from home at least a draw.

Scolari didn't dare to argue with that, but forced a smile and said: "I'm glad we won and we played well, as did Roma, so it will be better for us away and we will have a different strategy than we did today." ”

With 17 shots to 9, possession to 63 to 37 and corners to 5 to 2, Chelsea have the upper hand in all stats, but it is embarrassing that Chelsea do not take advantage of any of the real effective chances.

It also made Chelsea's hard-won victory unconvincing.

Scolari said the reason for the team's attacking slump was Didier Drogba's injury, but there was obviously no way to prove why Malouda was sleepwalking in the first half against Roma and was replaced by Scolari early in the break.

Subsequently, even another winger, Kalou, was replaced by Argentine teenager Di Santo.

It can be said that Chelsea's attacking problems were exposed in this game against Roma, and at this critical moment, Scolari will welcome Liverpool, who have skyrocketed this season, which is undoubtedly a great test for Chelsea.

Speaking to the media, the Brazilian head coach said the team was ready.

But at the same time, he said helplessly, "At the moment, the team has players including Essien, Drogba, Ballack and other injuries, which is a very big blow for us, and we have few options to do, but we will do our best to beat the opponent at home." ”

Chelsea's slump has brought to life Liverpool's current strength.

Rafael Benitez's side returned from Madrid, Spain, with Yang Yang's brace, Steven Gerrard's assist, Xavi Alonso's organisation and Reina's magic all making Liverpool stronger.

Especially after the team returned to Liverpool, Yang Yang immediately ushered in another annual award. 8)
