After a week's sabbatical in China, Yang returned to England.

He was greeted by a news from the official website of the Premier League, where Liverpool had once again won two Premier League of the Month awards.

With four wins in a row in August, Rafael Benitez beat Manchester City's Christian Eriksen to claim the Coach of the Month title.

Manchester City under Christian Eriksen also had an impressive start to the season, winning three in a row without conceding a goal, including a 1-0 derby against Manchester United, in which Eriksen's line-up was well received.

Unfortunately, the Swedes were unlucky enough to meet in-form Liverpool and Benitez.

Equally unlucky was Manchester City defender Richards.

The young homegrown talented defender has had an impressive start to the season and is arguably one of the best players in the Premier League to start the season and a big favourite to be the Player of the Month award.

But it's a pity that Yang Yang scored six goals and one assist in the first four rounds of the new season, leading Liverpool to four consecutive wins, which made Richards unable to shake Yang Yang's position in the end.

In the end, Liverpool swept two awards of the month.

When the Premier League officially announced, Yang Yang once again stood on the cusp of public opinion, and major media praised him, believing that he was the best player in the Premier League at the beginning of the season, and he was also the best star in European football so far in the new season.

"We have every reason to believe that he is having a milestone season!" Alan Hansen said expectantly.

…………

…………

After a two-week absence, the Premier League is back in action.

Liverpool face their opponents in the sixth round, away to Pompeii Portsmouth.

Redknapp's side's schedule this season has been one of the devil's devils.

Pompeii played two home and three away games in the first five league rounds, but one home game was against Manchester United, two away games against Chelsea and Arsenal, and they met three of the top four teams of the Premier League in the first five rounds.

What's even worse is that in the sixth round, they welcomed Liverpool at the top of the table at their home stadium.

Under Redknapp's tutelage, Portsmouth have consistently had good home results, especially in their defence.

Portsmouth conceded just 15 goals at home last season, just less than Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa, while they have the sixth-best home record in the Premier League, better than Aston Villa.

This season, Portsmouth's home results are still good, with a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, a 3-1 win over Bolton, and an away game is okay, except for the failure to win Derby County in the first round, a 0-1 defeat to Chelsea, and a 1-3 defeat to Arsenal, which are all acceptable results.

It's fair to say that Redknapp's team is definitely a tough one to be reckoned with.

……

On the other hand, Liverpool's overall strength is indeed ahead of the opponent, but the situation is not ideal.

The large number of internationals in the squad who have been called up to play all over the world has led to the return of players even later, with some European internationals who participated in European Championship qualifiers even returning to Liverpool after the game and then heading south to Portsmouth.

In this case, the overall consumption of the players will be a little greater, and the preparation will be less adequate.

But more importantly, Liverpool have a Champions League group stage away game in midweek.

Liverpool were lucky in the draw with three teams in the group stage, including Porto, Marseille and Besiktas, and of those three teams, Porto are the most likely to threaten Liverpool's top spot in the group.

In the first round of the group stage in midweek, Liverpool will play Porto away, which will undoubtedly be a highlight.

Benitez's decision is to stick to both the league and the Champions League.

Therefore, Liverpool's lineup for this game is reserved, including Mascherano, Gerrard, Yang Yang and Kuyt did not appear in the starting lineup, but they all sat on the bench.

Yang Yang did not have the pressure of the national team competition, and he also returned to the team early to prepare, but Benitez still decided to hide him and let him concentrate on preparing for the Champions League in midweek, which is the most important game for the team.

But the game clearly didn't go as smoothly as Benitez had expected.

……

The home team has always been very good, with outstanding defensive ability, and Portsmouth, who were able to draw 1-1 at home to Manchester United, showed a rare aggressiveness against Liverpool, who did not give their best.

Redknapp is also a veteran coach in the Premier League, with a lot of coaching experience, he knows Liverpool's strategy very well, and he wants to take advantage of it, so at the beginning of this game, his Portsmouth is not giving an inch, and Liverpool is dead.

The midfield, led by Muntari, made a mess of Liverpool's rhythm of the game.

Xavi Alonso and Benayoun were both closely watched by the opposition and behaved more averagely.

Even in the thirtieth minute, Arbeloa was signaled to a foul by the linesman when defending the opposing striker Kanu, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, which made the Liverpool players on the field very dissatisfied, and the coach Benitez on the sidelines was even more excited to complain to the fourth official.

Kanu's penalty was saved by Reina, and although the Spanish goalkeeper often made some major mistakes, he also performed wonderfully at many key moments.

Liverpool and Portsmouth continued to attack and defend each other.

After the rematch in the second half, the Reds still couldn't open up the situation.

Benitez quickly made a substitution, first replacing Benayoun with Steven Gerrard, and then replacing Volonin with Yang Yang.

Both substitutions were very obvious and wanted to strengthen the team's attack.

Portsmouth also made a substitution, replacing a striker and bringing on a midfielder.

Redknapp is also obviously very jealous of Yang Yang and Gerrard.

All the substitutions took place between 65 and 70 minutes, and for the next 10 minutes, neither side had too many chances to score.

Until the eighty-third minute......

……

When Yang Yang saw Crouch pull to the right to receive the ball, his choice was to lean towards the middle along the penalty line.

Portsmouth always had two defenders on his side, which left Yang Yang to keep his running range intensifies.

Now, he looked like he was going to pick up Crouch.

Pennant's cross from the right fell to the front point, but Crouch grabbed the first drop point under the clamp of the opposing central defenders Campbell and Distin, but did not dare to stop the ball, but directly headed out of the penalty area at the first time and handed it back to Gerrard 20 meters away.

All eyes fell to the right, especially the scene where Crouch headed back to Gerrard.

Yang Yang naturally noticed it, so he suddenly stopped on the left side of the arc top of the penalty area, and after passing Montari sideways, he rushed directly to the back of the penalty area.

Portsmouth's right-back Glen Johnson, who has just arrived from Chelsea in the summer, is an attacking prowess, but his defence has been criticised for his youth.

Yang Yang suddenly stopped and went straight to the back of the penalty area, which surprised Glenn Johnson and Muntari, who were in charge of following him, and quickly followed as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Gerrard waited for Crouch's header from a distance from goal, and he was also marked by the Portsmouth midfielder, who did not have time to stop the ball, and randomly sent a right-footed volley to the back of the box.

Gerrard was hopeless about this diagonal pass, it was more of an attempt, so the quality of the pass was not particularly high, and it landed in the left corner of the small penalty area.

But while Yang Yang plugged in behind, he was also paying close attention to the trajectory of the ball in the air, and at the same time paying attention to the distance between Glen Johnson on his side and midfielder Muntari on the other side.

Two Portsmouth players were planning to flank him one after the other.

Yang Yang made a quick decision, rushed to the left corner of the small penalty area at the fastest speed, and jumped high first.

After a long period of strength training, especially in the gym, cycling and stair switchbacks, Yang Yang found that his bounce was getting better and better, which made him more and more confident.

Especially with the continuous practice and improvement of [Klinsmann's head], he is becoming more and more sure of his header skills, so even if he jumped a small step earlier in order to avoid the defense of Glen Johnson and Muntari this time, he still intercepted Gerrard's ball with his foot by relying on his bouncing advantage.

But he could only top a far corner.

……

"Gerrard volleys into the box......"

"Yang Yang ran out of the empty space, jumped high, and hit the goal with a header!"

"The ball is in!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the 83rd minute, when no one expected it, and perhaps even the Liverpool players, including Gerrard himself, Yang Yang scored Portsmouth with a wonderful header."

"Let's see the slow motion of his goal this time."

"Yang Yang jumped high, Glenn Johnson and Muntari didn't dare to foul, they could only watch him jump."

"He jumped so high that it felt like he was jumping over the heads of Glen Johnson and Muntari because neither of them was high."

……

After Yang Yang scored, he rushed to the sidelines excitedly and knelt in front of the stands of the Liverpool fans who came to the away side with the team.

Behind him, Liverpool's players also rushed out to celebrate.

In front of the away team's coach's box, Benitez was a little carried away with excitement.

Six wins in a row!

Liverpool's performance this season has been fantastic!

And this also completely depends on Yang Yang's goalscoring state!

On the contrary, the coach of the home team, Redknapp, looked very depressed, and looked at Yang Yang, who was kneeling on the sidelines, his eyes were full of resentment, as if to say, I have already arranged two people to stare at you, how can you still score goals?

After defending for more than 80 minutes, he conceded the goal in the end, which was too painful for Portsmouth.

Even Redknapp had to admit that this game was broken!

His tactics completely defended Liverpool's organization and attack, but lost to Yang Yang.

What else could he say?
