486 Great Victory, Another Great Victory!
"Liverpool's attack, passed to the front, to Kuyt."
"Kuyt retreated to take the ball with his back, turned around and passed to Yang Yang......"
"Yang Yang quickly plugged in the ......"
"He's very fast, the players of Atletico Wigan come forward to defend ......"
"Beautiful!"
"The pendulum at the edge of the box is ......"
"Yang Yang dribbled the ball horizontally past the defender and pushed it directly with his left foot!"
"The ball is in!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"Yang Yang! Goal from Yang Yang! ”
"In just nine minutes of the opening game, Liverpool took the lead in scoring the goal of the home team Wigan Athletic by Yang Yang!"
……
Yang Yang looked extremely excited.
He was so excited that he rushed out of the court, all the way to the corner flagstick, and slipped to his knees in front of everyone.
He simply indulged in the feeling that left the home fans speechless.
He leaned back, and he could clearly see the angry but helpless faces of the Wigan Athletic fans in the stands.
They don't have any way to take Yang Yang!
Liverpool's players also rushed towards Yang Yang, and everyone seemed extremely excited.
In the past period, Liverpool has really shown enough grievances.
With Sissoko's injury, Liverpool's hard-to-polish midfield was broken, and the team had to change formations, Yang Yang was placed on the left side, but he was obviously not suitable for this position.
The left wing of the 442 is not his best area, he is more suited to the forward line.
And in this game, Benitez made an adjustment and won Kuyt, leaving Yang Yang and Kuyt as starters.
As a result, just nine minutes into the opening game, Yang Yang sent a goal.
After celebrating with his teammates in the corner kick area, Yang Yang ran to the away team's dugout and high-fived head coach Rafael Benitez and assistant coach Yesterdam in celebration.
Benitez told him, "Keep playing like this, come on!" ”
……
"Yang Yang is obviously using this way to tell everyone that there is no contradiction between him and Benitez."
"Due to the previous rounds of the league, Yang Yang was placed on the left side by Benitez, which made some media break the news that Yang Yang was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and even moved the idea of leaving Liverpool, but now it seems that all this is a rumor."
"Yang Yang was very active in this game, and now it seems that after holding back a few rounds, he is in good shape."
…………
…………
Facts have also proved that Yang Yang's state is indeed getting more and more suffocated.
In the 26th minute of the game, the Liverpool midfielder passed, and Gerrard made a through pass, trying to pass behind the Wigan Athletic defence, allowing Yang Yang to sprint.
Wigan Athletic's central defender grabbed the most advantageous position and firmly blocked Yang Yang behind him, but because he put all his body and mind on Yang Yang's body, he made a mistake when he stopped the ball.
The ball is stopped!
This sudden change made all the fans in the stadium exclaim, and Yang Yang reacted the fastest, and chased the ball as soon as possible, just a dodge, and caught up with the ball first.
Goalkeeper Kirkland decisively abandoned the goal, but Yang Yang was a step quicker than him, and with a left-footed buckle, the ball was slammed past Kirkland.
At this moment, Yang Yang directly faced the empty door!
He couldn't have missed such an opportunity!
"Oh God, Wigan Athletic made a mistake that shouldn't have been!"
"Yang Yang seized the opportunity and rushed into the penalty area to form a single knife!"
"It was definitely a stupid mistake, but Yang Yang's reaction was indeed too fast, and his speed was even more astonishing, as if he already knew that there would be a mistake."
"A brace!"
"Yang Yang scored his twelfth Premier League goal of the season!"
"It was also his fourth brace of the season!"
……
After Yang Yang scored a brace, Liverpool led by two goals, and Wigan Athletic was completely stunned.
In the 40th minute, it was a through ball from Gerrard, Yang Yang pulled to the left side of the penalty area to receive the ball, formed a one-on-one breakthrough, and then crossed to the front and back of the goal, Kuyt calmly pushed the empty goal.
Three to zero!
Two minutes later, Gerrard stabbed in front of goal with a cross from Aurelio on the left and scored again.
Four to zero!
Victory!
Another big win this season!
Such a rare, hearty victory not only exhilarated everyone at Liverpool, but also greatly relieved the heavy burden that had been on the team over the past month.
Including Yang Yang, including Gerrard, including Benitez, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, it also surprised the media reporters outside who were waiting to see Liverpool's jokes.
Four goals in the half, is this still the Liverpool team they call weak in attack?
…………
…………
Liverpool finally relied on Yang Yang's two shots and one pass, and beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away.
This victory greatly eased the pressure and crisis of confidence in Liverpool, and at the same time showed everyone that Liverpool is not the same attacking Liverpool team of previous seasons.
The media throughout the UK are applauding Liverpool's big victory, and many media outlets have even praised Liverpool for coming out of the crisis caused by Sissoko's injury.
However, Benitez said in his post-match press conference that the team's big win does not mean that the problem has been resolved.
'Sometimes wins and goals can mask a lot of things, and I and the players have to be sober and vigilant about that.
The manager's words made Liverpool, who was immersed in the victory, come back to some senses.
Benitez was not wrong at all that the impact of Sissoko's absence has not been well addressed.
A four-goal win over Wigan Athletic is a cause for joy, but solving the team's problems will allow Liverpool to go further on the two main fronts of the Premier League and the Champions League, especially in the Champions League.
Once faced with a team with stronger targeted tactics and better overall strength, Liverpool's weakness will still be exposed.
Therefore, Benitez has made it clear that the team will bring in strong reinforcements during the winter break.
Although Liverpool has always been vigilant, the outside world still gives high praise to the performance of the Reds.
All the top four teams won this round of the league, but only the Reds and Liverpool won by a big margin.
Especially Yang Yang, who scored twice again and sent an assist, has become a winning hero in the mouth of the British media.
……
In midweek, the final round of the Champions League group stage.
With Liverpool already locked up the top spot in the group, Benitez left Turkey with an all-bench squad this time, with many of the main players including Yang Yang, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Carragher and Daniel Ager all staying in the UK.
As a result, Liverpool lost 2-3 away to their opponents.
Players such as veterans Robbie Fowler and Pennant have been outstanding.
……
December 9th, afternoon.
In the seventeenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Fulham.
The team still faced each other with 442, with Yang Yang and Kuyt continuing to play as double strikers.
The first half was a 0-0 draw, and Fulham's tenacious defence made Liverpool suffer as well.
However, at half-time, Rafael Benitez made changes to his team's tactics, and shortly after the start of the second half, Fulham midfielder Diop suffered an injury during a return to defence, which weakened Fulham's midfield.
Diop gave Yang more room to move, first quickly creating a long-range opportunity for Xavi Alonso, and then in the 54th minute, he assisted Gerrard to burst into the box and score.
Just six minutes later, it was Yang Yang who created a corner on the left, Agger headed it over, and Carragher tackled it to further extend the lead for Liverpool.
It was also the first time in nearly eight years that Carragher had scored for Liverpool.
In the 66th minute, Aurelio quickly threw a throw-in on the left side, Daniel Ager's header in the penalty area, Yang Yang quickly grabbed the front point, and unmarked, headed the goal from close range, and broke Fulham's goal again.
After that, Liverpool played a wave of attacks all the way.
In the 85th minute, it was Yang Yang's forced breakthrough cross on the left side, and Gerrard volleyed vigorously from the edge of the penalty area, scoring a goal for Liverpool again, scoring two goals, and both goals came from Yang Yang's assist.
This made Gerrard publicly say that he would waive Yang Yang's rent for half a year when he was interviewed by the media after the game.
And Yang Yang's response to this was just two words, "It's really picky!" ”
Having beaten their opponents 4-0 in two consecutive games, home and away, Rafael Benitez finally smiled at his post-match press conference and said he was pleased with his team's performance.
"I can feel that our squad is gradually forming an orderly whole."
However, Benitez also stressed once again that Liverpool's problems have not been resolved, and they still need to rely on reinforcements during the winter break to strengthen the team's bench depth and shortcomings in the squad.
While the team has beaten their opponents by four goals in two consecutive games, Mohamed Sissoko's comeback time has been delayed.
However, the media and fans have completely forgotten about the Mali midfielder.
With two consecutive 4-0 wins, Liverpool can be described as a strong recovery and gained enough popularity.
……
A week later, in the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Charlton away.
Just three minutes into the opening period, Charlton player Luke made a mistake in clearing, Yang Yang crossed to the edge of the penalty area, and Xavi Alonso, who missed a great opportunity in the previous round, finally seized the opportunity this time and fired an excellent long-range shot from the edge of the box through Charlton's goal.
And Yang Yang's assist for Xavi Alonso's shot is also his 10th assist this season.
In the sixty-third minute of the second half, it was Yang Yang's breakthrough cross on the right side of the front field that assisted Kuyt to score with a low shot in front of the goal.
After giving two assists, in the 82nd minute, Finnan crossed diagonally from the right, and Yang Yang played a wonderful volley from the edge of the small penalty area, once again penetrating Charlton's goal.
In the 88th minute, substitute Crouch headed in the ferry, and Gerrard scored again.
Another 4-0!
Three games in a row 4-0!
Not only is the Premier League crazy, but the whole of European football is going crazy!
No one expected that Liverpool, after the pain of Sissoko's absence, would recover strongly and play such a hearty attack, four to zero in three consecutive rounds, including two away games.
Especially for Yang Yang's performance, everyone gave a very high evaluation.
The official comment of the Premier League said: "In the past three rounds of the league, Yang Yang's form is really good, four goals, five assists, so that Benitez has to admit that it is an extremely wise decision to push him to the striker." ”
"Yang Yang's range of movement is huge, whether it is on the side or in the middle, he is unstoppable, very good."
"Although the league is just over halfway, but eighteen rounds of the league, fourteen goals, eleven assists, this is the first Premier League half-way answer sheet handed over by Yang Yang."
