664 We're going to have some surprises!

Liverpool start with three wins in a row!

This quickly detonated the British media as Chelsea drew 1-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

In other words, after the third round of the league, Liverpool is proud to be at the top of the standings with a two-point lead.

Yang Yang, who had just won the UEFA Striker of the Season award at Monaco, scored the winner in this round of matches to help Liverpool beat Aston Villa away, which won a lot of applause after the game.

The Times believes that Yang Yang's performance is the key to Liverpool's victory.

'Villa Park has always been a nightmare for all Premier League teams, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all playing hard here last season, with Chelsea losing 2-0 and Jose Mourinho not long afterward.

"This season, Martin O'Neal's team is still very vigorous, beating Manchester City 4-2 at home in the first round, which shows the fighting power of Aston Villa at home."

'Liverpool suffered a terrible blow before this game, captain Steven Gerrard was out of action due to injury, which led to Benitez having to make changes in his line-up, with the Spaniard opting Gareth Barry over the more attacking Benayoun, apparently because he was well aware of the horrors at Villa Park.

"There are even those who believe that Martin O'Neill's team is more than capable of making it to the European competition."

"In this game, O'Neill was also full of jealousy of Yang Yang, who had just won the best striker of the UEFA season, and focused on his defense, which did freeze Yang Yang in the first half, but at halftime, Yang Yang took the initiative to adjust his role and position on the field."

As a result, after the second half, Yang Yang completely ushered in an explosion through a wide range of runs, using three consecutive corners to create a threat at the beginning, and scored the only goal of the game not long after.

According to The Times, Liverpool's form this season is very similar to last season, with them playing at the start, putting in points and winning back-to-back games to establish an advantage from the start.

But the problem with this style of play is persistence.

"Last season, Liverpool was relatively sluggish after grabbing the start, and it was all supported by Yang Yang alone, which led to Yang Yang's overall physical and psychological state obviously declining after entering December, and then performed very sluggishly in January and February."

Speaking to the media, Rafael Benitez said that the team has found an effective solution to the problem, as the depth of the bench this season is significantly stronger than last season.

"According to the news learned by the reporter, Yang Yang is not as active as last season under the training of personal coach Winston Bogard, and his state looks more stable, but he has been maintained at a high level, the purpose is to continue his state for a long time and maintain stability."

Finally, The Times believes that as long as Liverpool can continue their current form and Yang Yang can maintain his current performance, Liverpool will remain the most competitive team in the Premier League this season.

While the British media are talking about Liverpool's opening three consecutive wins, the Premier League has been shut down for a two-week international break, and this time, Yang Yang and other Chinese players who have stayed abroad have also returned to China.

Because in this September, the top 10 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa will officially begin.

After the draw, China were placed in Group A this time, alongside Japan, Bahrain, Australia and Uzbekistan, while in the September national team break, China had only one game, away to Uzbekistan.

The Chinese team is no stranger to this opponent, and Alihan also attaches great importance to it, so this time, after returning to Beijing from Europe, the foreign international players immediately went to the national team for training.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Dalei, a young goalkeeper who currently plays for AZ Alkmaar, also entered the national team squad for the first time.

Wang Dalei was recommended by Yang Yang to AZ Alkmaar, because Yang Yang believes that Frans Hawke is the best goalkeeper coach in European football, especially good at training goalkeepers like Wang Dalei, because Wang Dalei is only 1.85 meters tall.

After joining AZ Alkmaar, Wang Dalei was exposed to the most advanced goalkeeper training system and philosophy in Europe under the tutelage of Frans Hawke, on the one hand, the club and the coaching staff attach great importance to him, and on the other hand, his own talent is also quite good, so he has improved very quickly.

Last season, he made 10 appearances for AZ Alkmaar in all competitions, and for him, Van Gaal did not even bring in the goalkeeper position, and this season he directly promoted the 19-year-old Wang Dalei directly to the main position.

So far, Chinese players have been able to play the main team in the Eredivisie, AZ Alkmaar is Gao Lin and Wang Dalei, and Feyenoord is Feng Xiaoting, all of whom are the best among domestic players.

Wang Dalei is also a player with a big heart, after playing the main team, his performance is not very stable, but he often has quite amazing performances, which makes Van Gaal love and hate him, but fortunately AZ Alkmaar has started the season well.

At present, the Chinese national team is short of people in the goalkeeper position, so Alihan recruited Wang Dalei into the national team.

……

After a week of intensive training in Beijing, the interesting story of studying abroad has become a hot topic of conversation among the national team internationals.

From the national team to the national Olympic team to the national youth team, the whole atmosphere of staying abroad is getting stronger and stronger, and domestic potential and talented players are eager to go to the European League, whether it is the Eredivisie, the Portuguese Super League, the Belgian League, or even Austria, Switzerland and other worse leagues, you can see the current Chinese players.

The national team then travelled to the Middle East to challenge Uzbekistan away.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 1-0 away with difficulty, and Yang Yang assisted Chen Tao to score a goal.

But just when the Chinese team narrowly defeated a strong opponent away from home, and the international players were disbanded on the spot, Yang Yang immediately returned to the United Kingdom, and when he met Su Ye in London, he received a piece of news that was quite unfavorable to Liverpool.

…………

The western outskirts of Manchester, Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Ferguson sat in the manager's office for an afternoon.

He sat on the couch and watched TV for a while, then walked to the window, stared at the unoccupied training ground in a daze, and finally sat back on the sofa opposite the TV.

At this time, there was a news broadcast on TV that Liverpool's centre-back Carragher had been injured in his first training session back in the team, the second Liverpool player to be injured in the last two days.

The former was Peter Crouch.

The England striker represented England in the European World Cup qualifiers, away at Croatia, and he performed very well, fully playing his role as a tactical centre-forward, helping his side to a 4-1 win over Croatia, but he went off injured in the 85th minute.

Ferguson laughed a little gloating when he heard the news.

He felt Liverpool should be very distressed by this, as Fabio Capello's side had started Crouch for two games in a row, only to be surprised by an injury in the final minute of the second game.

Benitez is definitely in a rage right now, needless to say.

But that's the disaster that comes with the national team, and Liverpool aren't the first and won't be the last.

Unexpectedly, Crouch was just injured, and Carragher was injured again.

At the age of thirty, injuries are starting to increase.

Coupled with Gerrard, who was injured before, Liverpool are now an important member of the front, middle and back three lines, and all have injuries.

You don't have to guess to know that this will be a very big blow to Liverpool, but for Manchester United, it is a rare opportunity.

What to do?

The question was in front of Ferguson, and he struggled with it for an afternoon.

……

Sitting on the couch, Ferguson looked at the closed office door for the umpteenth time, and he longed for his assistant coaches, Mike Ferran and René Muhrensting, to knock on the door and tell him, "Boss, good news, those Liverpool bastards are injured, I think we should ...... right away"

But each time, he was disappointed.

There is no doubt that this is something that only Carlos Queiroz will do, and Mike Ferran and René Muhrensteen would not dare to do it at all, they are too honest to always feel that Ferguson should be doing things in the office and should not be bothered.

But as everyone knows, Ferguson sat in his office all afternoon, waiting for them to come to the door.

Alex Ferguson is keen to take out Liverpool because he knows they can't be left to win like this, Rafael Benitez's side have been consistent and the fourth round is a rare opportunity.

Yang Yang traveled a long way back to Asia to play, his body must be very tired, Gerrard has just recovered from injury to participate in training, but it is estimated that he will not be able to play, and now Carragher and Crouch are injured again, which is too big a blow to Liverpool.

If Manchester United makes a move at this time to snatch Liverpool from the leading position and interrupt the Reds' winning streak, not only Manchester United's own morale will skyrocket, but even Liverpool will be hit hard.

Otherwise, if they continue to win like this, who will be able to stop them?

Liverpool's winning streak last season is still fresh in Ferguson's mind.

But opportunity also means risk, because it's at Anfield and it's hard to say.

That's where Ferguson struggled, but after Carlos Queiroz left in the summer to coach the Portuguese national team, he couldn't find anyone to talk to.

Mulensteen's biggest role is to train his players, and Mike Ferran's biggest benefit is that he can be Ferguson's spokesperson and give interviews to media outlets he doesn't want to do.

Only Queiroz can really sit down with Ferguson and discuss how to take out those damn opponents.

Suddenly, Ferguson felt a sense of loneliness and a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

But soon, he took another deep breath, got up from the couch, and walked out the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mike Phelan and René Muhrensdine walked out of the next office.

"Hey, boss."

"Prepare for some surprises on the weekend!"
