In Liverpool's match against Newcastle, the suspense lasted only forty minutes.

After the opening, both sides fought fiercely, and it was clear that everyone wanted to win.

Since Yang Yang joined Liverpool, many people have believed that he is Liverpool's most attacking attacker after Michael Owen, so it is inevitable that he has been compared with Owen.

And this game, the contest between the old and new generations, undoubtedly adds a bit of gimmick.

can be different from Michael Irving's near-invisibility throughout the game, Yang Yang cut inside with the ball on the left side in the 43rd minute, and behind him with his right foot diagonally, Kuyt followed up with a close-range header, which hit the opposing defender, and Crouch missed the shot.

One to zero.

Two minutes later, Gerrard went straight through the middle, Yang Yang used his speed to force a burst into the penalty area, and crossed to the back point in front of the bottom line.

This time, Kuyt calmly seized the opportunity and hit the shot in front of goal, making it 2-0.

After the second half of the rematch, it was another two-one-one cooperation between Yang Yang and Gerrard, Yang Yang went straight into the penalty area, and Gerrard hit a pick near the penalty spot to expand the score to 3-0.

In the end, Yang Yang had two assists, and goals from Gerrard, Crouch and Kuyt, Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 at home.

After the game, Yang Yang was selected as the best player of the match.

This is also the first time that Yang Yang has been elected as the best player of the game in the Premier League after a three-month absence.

All the Liverpool fans in the stadium were cheering him on.

On the other side of the court, Michael Owen was in a slump and played without threat.

When he returned to the Premier League from Real Madrid, he never showed the style of England's golden boy and European Ballon d'Or in the past, and now he has been completely reduced to mediocrity.

……

After the game, Michael Owen still politely congratulated Yang Yang and Gerrard and others.

Although he is no longer at Liverpool, he still hopes that the Liverpool players can continue to work hard to win the league title, "You should know that this is extraordinary for us. ”

Even though he has left Liverpool, Owen still considers himself a Liverpooler.

And Owen's eyes when he looked at Yang Yang were also full of complexity, very mixed, and finally just said to Yang Yang encouragingly, "Don't care what the outside media says, now, you are the irreplaceable hero of Anfield." ”

Yang Yang politely thanked him.

Michael Owen was once a superstar in his mountains.

In the year of Yang's debut, Owen was still the hottest superstar in European football and soon transferred to Real Madrid, but in the star-studded galaxy, Owen struggled to get a chance, especially against a rival like Ronaldo.

At Anfield, Owen's best memory is of course the five crowns of the season of the European Ballon d'Or, but none of those five titles have a significant title, no Premier League title, no Champions League, so to some extent, the five crowns do not have much gold to speak of.

Owen chose to leave Liverpool for the title, but was played by fate, because the year after his departure, Liverpool, under the leadership of Rafael Benitez, created a miracle in Istanbul and won the Champions League.

After this war, the younger brothers of the past, such as Steven Gerrard and Carragher, officially became the ranks of European stars.

In 05, when Owen decided to leave Real Madrid, anyone could see that he wanted to return to Liverpool, but by this time time time had already changed.

Benitez had six strikers in his hands, and he wanted a central defender, so he turned down Owen and went to the Magpies.

Unexpectedly, in Newcastle, Owen suffered an injury blow, and since then he has been in a slump, and now he has long since lost the demeanor of the young man who chased the wind.

……

Seeing Owen leave sadly, Yang Yang felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Because he used to like Owen.

I believe that no one who has experienced those years of fans will refuse Irving, and who would have thought that the youthful and invincible Liverpool chasing boy back then was obviously in the golden years of his career at the age of 28, but it turned out to be a dying hero in the twilight, how can people not sigh and sigh?

To put it bluntly, Owen's career plan is really bad.

Whether it was to join Real Madrid or later move to Newcastle.

Cases like Owen's are not uncommon in European football.

For example, Yang Yang's teammates at Ajax, Trabelsi, Van der Vaart, and the former Van der Meyde, etc.

And Yang Yang has repeatedly advised himself that he must carefully plan his career to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessors.

Fortunately, his original agent chose Raiola.

Although the Italian fat man is a little greedy for money, he still has his own uniqueness in terms of career planning for players, whether it is Ibrahimovic or Yang Yang, they are all well planned.

After beating Newcastle 3-0, Benitez was in a good mood after the game, but what made him even happier was Yang Yang's recovery.

"Yang Yang played a good game, although he didn't score, but the team's three goals came from his planning, and he also had two assists, which is very important for us, with his skill and speed, he can beat all the defenders."

Rafa Benitez believes the team's three-goal clean sheet against Newcastle in this game is very positive, "It's very important that everyone's confidence is getting stronger as we keep winning. ”

Newcastle manager Keegan also said after the game that he was confident of leading Newcastle to relegation, but he refused to answer any questions about Liverpool and their players.

On the contrary, it was King Dalglish, who said in an interview with the media after the game that Yang Yang's role in the attack was very obvious.

"He's just amazing." Dalglish exclaimed, "In my opinion, Yang Yang is the smartest transfer Liverpool have ever made, and what's even more terrifying is that as the season goes on, as he gets older, he's getting stronger and stronger, which is scary for other teams." ”

Dalglish also said that Liverpool have gone through several dynasties in their history, and one of the most striking features is that each dynasty has had very good top attackers.

From Keegan to Toshak to Daglish, Ian Rush and later Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen.

"There is no doubt that now it is Yang Yang's turn."

Dalglish believes that Yang Yang is carving out a piece of football history of his own, and he has become the hope of Liverpool's revival, and even believes that Yang Yang has every chance of breaking into the Premier League 30-goal club.

"The last player in Liverpool's history to score more than 30 goals in a single season was Ian Rush, 21 years ago, and then, neither Robbie Fowler nor Michael Owen could catch that record, so I think Yang Yang has every chance of making that history."

"Whether it is to win the Champions League twice in three years, or in the future, I think Yang Yang will lead Liverpool to usher in a revival and open up another peak dynasty."

Dalglish also took the opportunity to remind Liverpool's management that Yang Yang is vital to the current Liverpool team and should not be sold for cash in the summer, because Yang Yang has qualities that money cannot buy.

'He's the kind of player who can bring a title to the team, there's no substitute for that.

…………

The day after Liverpool's 3-0 win over Newcastle, Yang Yang's performance was unanimously recognized by the British media, and Manchester United beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 at home, with star Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice.

As a result, the Portuguese star followed Yang Yang again with 23 goals, only one goal behind Yang Yang.

After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo publicly stated that he would attack the league's top scorer.

'I feel like I'm in better shape than ever before, I feel like I can do more, so I think you should set yourself a higher goal, like 30 goals and the top scorer.'

'I know it's an honour in the Premier League to score 30 goals in a single season because in the history of the Premier League, only the likes of Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Thierry Henry have been able to achieve and achieve that, and I think I can do that.

Cristiano Ronaldo also challenged Yang Yang, who is currently ranked above him in the standings.

'I know he's not in great shape at the moment, but from what I know about him, I'm sure he'll come out of the doldrums soon, which will make the competition for the Premier League's top scorers even more interesting.'

'He scored twenty-five goals last season but so far this season he's scored twenty-four goals and it's clear that he's constantly pushing himself and pushing the limits and so have me.

Ferguson also publicly supported his protégé in his post-match press conference following the team's 2-0 win over Bolton, arguing that Cristiano Ronaldo is the most feared scorer in the Premier League.

"Yang Yang is really good, but I think Cristiano is the most terrifying, and all the opponents who have played against him will not deny that."

"Who is the top scorer? I have no doubt that it must be Cristiano, who is the best and the strongest. ”

Ferguson's public support, Cristiano Ronaldo's unsolicited offering, and the support of a number of players in United's squad quickly attracted media attention.

Not only media reporters and fans are looking forward to it, but even bookmakers have offered odds.

Yang Yang is still one goal ahead, and has scored consecutive goals in recent times, but his form has not returned to his best, on the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo, since around Christmas, the goal momentum has been out of control, and he is also chasing all the way on the scorer list.

Now, the two are just one goal away.

Judging from the odds offered by the bookmaker, the odds between the two are not much different, and Cristiano Ronaldo even has a slight advantage, because he is backed by the stronger Manchester United overall.
