Between the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds of the Premier League, FIFA arranged a World Cup qualifier in which internationals from all continents had to rush back to play, and clubs could not refuse.

The Chinese team is going to play Bahrain away, which is also a more important battle in the top 10 matches, so it is also a foreign international player.

Since 05, FIFA has adjusted the World Cup qualifier system, which is basically a mode of recruiting and playing, and leaving after playing, without leaving time for training camps, which will have a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the national team, but it can greatly reduce the consumption and pressure of interstate internationals.

For example, Yang Yang and other Chinese foreign internationals, this time you can fly directly from Europe to the Middle East, gather with the team, play Bahrain, and after playing, fly directly from the Middle East to Europe, and return to their respective teams to play, the process is a bit like playing a Champions League away in the Middle East such as Israel, the consumption is still very large, but at least it is much less than before.

For Bahrain, Yang Yang and the international players are no strangers, they have played a few games with this team in the past few years, and this time because the international players traveled a long distance to the away stadium and consumed a lot, so the game was still relatively difficult.

But in the end, Yang Yang still scored a goal to help the Chinese team beat Bahrain 1-0 away.

When Yang Yang returned to Europe from the Middle East, he immediately ushered in the fourteenth round of the Premier League.

…………

Affected by the midweek international game, all the strong teams played very badly in this round.

Chelsea drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle.

Manchester United drew 0-0 away at Aston Villa.

Arsenal suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Manchester City.

All three strong teams suffered setbacks in the same round, either draws or defeats, and all dropped points.

Among them, Arsenal's away defeat to Manchester City was the most shocking, no one expected that the Gunners would lose so miserably, which shows that Wenger's team has really had a serious problem.

Manchester United's failure to win Aston Villa was also a surprise, because the Red Devils' previous results against Aston Villa were quite good, but they did not win this time, and the game was very dull.

In contrast, Liverpool are in a much better position than the other three strong teams.

It's also affected by the national team game, the same players going back and forth, but Liverpool have more European players, and the injury situation has been very well controlled this season, so far the personnel are more neat and there are more options in the line-up.

For example, in the game against Fulham, Benitez excluded Mascherano, who returned to South America to play in the national team, from the squad, and refrigerated Yang Yang, Gerrard and Xavi Alonso, who played the whole game, and put them on the bench.

The other top three not only have to play the 14th round of the Premier League at the weekend, but also have a Champions League game in midweek, but Liverpool is much easier, because after four consecutive wins in the Champions League, the team has already qualified early, and there is almost no pressure, and even Liverpool has no problem giving up.

In that case, Liverpool can focus on the league and put their best players in form and fitness into the game against Fulham.

But even so, Liverpool were met with stubborn sniping from Fulham in the game.

The team dominated the whole game, and even took advantage of the home field, and in the first 20 minutes, Fulham couldn't even shoot on goal, but they were never able to break through Fulham's goal.

Until the seventy-fifth minute of the second half, Yang Yang came on as a substitute, and eight minutes later, after cooperating with Aurelio on the left side, Aurelio sent a kick behind him, Yang Yang quickly inserted into the penalty area, formed a single knife after stopping the ball, and used a skillful pendulum to pass people, shook past Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer, and pushed the empty goal.

1 to 0!

Liverpool finally beat Fulham 1-0 with Yang Yang's goal.

……

The score is not big, but the significance is extremely obvious.

With Chelsea and Manchester United both suffering draws and Arsenal losing hard at home, Liverpool were able to come out on top, narrowly beating their opponents in a difficult situation and taking three points, which was enough for the Reds to extend the gap again.

Liverpool's lead narrowed due to a previous defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, but this time it was six points clear of second-placed Chelsea and a full eleven points above third-placed Manchester United.

As for Arsenal, they have only 23 points at the moment, as many as 19 points behind Liverpool.

Speaking to the media after the game, manager Arsene Wenger said that the Gunners have withdrawn from title contention and are aiming to retain a top-four finish, while he believes that Liverpool are the best team to win the title, but they must be careful of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

'What United do best is the winter break and the second half of the season, and Liverpool have to overcome their last few seasons.

Arsene Wenger also highlighted Yang Yang, who believes that Yang Yang's ability to overcome the challenges of the Premier League's winter break is crucial for Liverpool to win the title, and more importantly......

'If he wants to conquer the Premier League, he's going to have to do better at Christmas and the winter break.'

……

When Yang Yang was interviewed by the media, he also agreed with Wenger's statement.

'There's no doubt that Christmas in the Premier League is the most challenging fixture and I haven't been able to perform well in the last two years, but I feel like I'm ready for it this year.

Benitez also expressed his trust in Yang Yang, and even revealed that in order to better prepare for the Christmas schedule, Yang Yang not only changed his training during the summer preparations, but also adjusted his training program in the middle of the season.

"He's the most ethic I've ever worked with and I never have to worry about whether he's going to do his best or if he's disciplined because he's always hungry and hungry and wants to win, and I have a lot of confidence in him."

…………

…………

After playing Fulham, the Champions League was ushered in midweek.

Liverpool hosted Marseille and Benitez made changes to the team, and finally won 1-0 thanks to Xavi Alonso's assist for Gerrard's goal in the 23rd minute.

With five consecutive wins in the group stage, Liverpool is still quite dominant in the Champions League.

……

At the weekend, the fifteenth round of the Premier League.

It was another tough round.

Manchester United have just beaten Villarreal 0-0 in midweek, and the two teams have been battling it out to win the group, but the Red Devils have never been able to win against Manuel Pellegrini's side.

The two teams are currently on the same number of points, but Manchester United lead on goal difference, but this is indeed quite unsafe for the Red Devils, and once they finish second in the group, it will be extremely detrimental to Manchester United's Champions League trend.

Failing to score in two consecutive games has called into question Manchester United's attacking prowess, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's form has become very inconsistent.

He can score two goals in a row, but it is terrible that the team needs him and not score in a row, so when he returns to the Premier League, the Portuguese finally can't hold back when they play Manchester City in the 15th round and the Manchester derby.

On the one hand, Yang Yang's momentum since the start of the season is like a bamboo, and on the other hand, his own form is not good, especially in this Manchester derby, Manchester United dominated and completely suppressed Manchester City.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Carrick broke the deadlock with a long-range shot that was saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart, and Rooney picked up a shot from close range to break the deadlock.

In less than ten minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo was yellow carded for a foul on Wright Phillips, and then for a handball foul on a corner kick, he was sent off with two yellows and one red, resulting in one less player for Manchester United in the next half hour.

In the end, Manchester United narrowly beat Manchester City 1-0 away.

But after the game, Xiao Xiaoluo's red card caused a huge controversy, and the vast majority of British media believe that the Portuguese is still very immature, whether it is emotional control or concentration during the game, it is not reassuring, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to compete with Yang Yang for the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year with such a performance.

There are even many British tabloids who have ridiculed that this is a bad version of God's hand.

……

The highlight of the round was another big game for Chelsea, only to lose again at home, 2-1 to the Gunners Arsenal, making it the third consecutive home defeat to the Premier League semi-finals.

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, this has almost become the label of Scolari's team.

The Blues were able to beat the underdogs outright, but suffered heavy defeats in all three of the big games, which was absolutely deadly.

Liverpool hosted West Ham United in this round, just six minutes into the opening game, Yang Yang crossed from the left, West Ham United defender Ilunga was fouled for handball, but the referee refused to award a penalty on the grounds that Ilunga used his hand to protect his face.

After a slight protest, Liverpool also accepted the referee's explanation.

Just three minutes later, it was Yang Yang's forced breakthrough on the left side and a cross was again a handball from close range by Ilenga, and this time the referee was aware of it and awarded a yellow card and a penalty.

Yang Yang took the initiative to be humble, he didn't like to take penalties, and Gerrard calmly scored a goal for Liverpool.

It was the only goal of the game.

Liverpool won 1-0 over West Ham United to secure another three points.

……

At the end of fifteen rounds, Liverpool is at the top of the Premier League table with 42 points.

Chelsea lost this round and are still 33 points, a full nine points behind Liverpool.

Although they are in second place for the time being, everyone actually thinks that Chelsea's chances of winning the title are slim, because December will usher in Manchester United's traditional dominant period, and the Red Devils start to work in December every year.

And, with Chelsea's poor conversation this season, the chances of winning the title are slim.

Manchester United, on the other hand, won Manchester City and are third with 31 points, while the Gunners are fourth with 26 points.

……

After the 15th round of the Premier League, the League Cup quarter-finals will be played in midweek.

But just before the race, on the first day of December, a flight from Paris, France, slowly landed at Manchester Airport.

The new editor-in-chief of the French football magazine, Denis Chaumile, and the royal photographer appeared in Manchester in a hurry.
