On the evening of September 27, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool.

In the second round of the Champions League Group C group stage, Liverpool hosted Galatasaray.

Kuyt was rotated, with Pennant starting on the right flank.

Less than a minute into the game, Pennant created a cross from the right and Crouch headed wide in front of the Turkish defender in the box.

Three minutes later, Yang Yang passed the ball, and Gerrard shot from the edge of the penalty area, which was deflected wide again.

Liverpool then launched a fierce attack on Galatasaray and opened the scoring in the ninth minute.

Gerrard split the ball to the left, Aurelio went straight, Yang Yang crossed from the left, and Crouch scored his first goal in the Champions League this season with an easy right-footed cushion in front of the goal.

After receiving assists from Yang Yang in two consecutive games, Crouch was obviously very satisfied with his striker partner, and when celebrating the goal, he also ran to Yang Yang and pulled him all the way to the sidelines.

Just a minute later, Yang created another chance to create space for Aurelio to shoot, but the Brazilian left wing-back's kick was saved by the goalkeeper and couldn't find the back of the net.

In the fourteenth minute, Liverpool actively launched a forward pressing, and after Pennant broke the ball, he burst into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area.

Yang Yang had been keeping an eye on his teammates, and as soon as he saw Pennant rushing into the box with the ball, he knew there would be a chance at the back post, as Galatasaray's defensive attention fell on Crouch in the middle and Pennant on the right.

He believed Pennant could see it.

Sure enough, with Crouch frozen, Pennant chose to pick up the back point.

Yang Yang quickly plugged in, and at the unmarked back point, he headed the ball from close range.

"The ball is in!!!!"

"Header!"

"Yang Yang scored a close-range header in the fourteenth minute!"

"It was a very smart run, Pennant also picked the back post with a clever pass, and Yang Yang directly hit the goal with a close-range header, once again penetrating Galatasaray's goal!"

"This should be the second header of Yang Yang's career!"

After Yang Yang scored with a header, the whole person was also extremely excited!

The whole Anfield stadium was cheering him on!

This is also Yang Yang's first goal in this Champions League!

……

After taking a two-goal lead, Liverpool continued their offensive against Galatasaray.

At the start of the second half, after Pennant broke the ball again on the right, Finnan cut in a cross and Crouch sent the ball into Galatasaray's goal near the penalty spot in the middle of the box with a beautiful upside-down golden hook.

Brace!

The England centre-forward was extremely excited, excitedly pulling his team-mates to dance a mechanical dance on the sidelines, drawing a round of applause and cheers from all the fans at Anfield.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, scored in the 65th minute with Turan assisting his teammates to score and pull back the game.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Galatasaray 3-1 at home to make it two wins in a row in the group stage.

PSV Eindhoven beat Bordeaux 1-0 away in this round.

At the end of the two group rounds, Liverpool won both games and got a valuable six points, ranking first in the group.

PSV Eindhoven finished second in the group with three points, while Bordeaux and Galatasaray finished third and fourth respectively.

Three days later, the Premier League ushered in the seventh round.

Liverpool take on Bolton Wanderers away.

Fresh off the top of the league table, the Reds are ambitious to win away from home and continue to defend their top spot.

The game also seemed to be going according to Liverpool's rhythm.

Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt started again, while midfielders Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko also made their debut, and Liverpool were in fine form.

After the opening kick-off, they launched a fierce attack on Bolton, playing very actively on the left and right wings, creating frequent chances, and they were only one step away from scoring.

Bolton played brutally and made a lot of action, and the referee's soft whistle in this game also contributed to the home team's style.

In the 24th minute, Bolton centre-back Faye burst the back of Kuyt's head in a tussle with Kuyt, forcing the Dutchman to walk to the sidelines to stop the bleeding and not return to action until four minutes later.

Not only that, but the referee awarded the Liverpool goalkeeper a handball outside the box when Reyna kicked off the ball later.

It was definitely a clear misjudgement and everyone at Liverpool protested to the referee, Reyna repeatedly said he had not left the box and that it should not have been a handball at all, but the referee still awarded a very dangerous free-kick.

Bolton calmly seized the opportunity when former Real Madrid player Campo crossed and Speed volleyed in the middle to score a goal for Bolton Wanderers to break the deadlock on the pitch.

Subsequently, no matter how much Liverpool attacked, they could not break through Bolton's goal.

In the end, Liverpool came home 0-1 away and lost their first defeat of the season.

And from this game, Yang Yang also felt the savage and rough side of the Premier League for the first time.

The game was very intense, and there were many misjudgments by the referee, especially the one that caused the goal conceded, which was recognized by all the media after the game, but the result of the game will not be changed because of this.

At the same time, Yang Yang also saw the blood of Premier League players.

Kuyt, who was blood-stained with half of his shirt and most of his head, still struggled to get back to the game, which was very exciting.

When Liverpool lost away to Bolton, Manchester United beat Newcastle thanks to a brace from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ferguson's side reversed Liverpool to the top of the Premier League with three points in this round.

Chelsea also underperformed this round as well, drawing 1-1 at home to Aston Villa, with Didier Drogba scoring in the opening three minutes.

Obviously, under the pressure of Shevchenko's competition, the Ivory Coast Elephant King has also shown full motivation this season and ushered in the peak form of his career.

Arsenal conceded a goal first, and with Van Persie's brace, they reversed Charlton Athletic.

After this round of matches, the traditional top four of the Premier League have gathered in the first group.

Manchester United lead the way with 16 points, Liverpool and Arsenal are joint second and third with 14 points, Bolton is also 14 points and fourth, while Chelsea, Portsmouth, Everton, Aston Villa and Reading are all 13.

As for the scorer list, Andy Johnson scored one goal in this round and led the way with six, while Yang Yang, Kanu, Drogba and Zamora all scored five goals and tied for second place in the scorer list.

After the seventh round of the Premier League, it was a two-week international break in October.

Because it was the Asian Cup qualifiers, this time the Football Association still did not recruit foreign internationals, Yang Yang continued to stay in the UK to practice hard, but went to the Netherlands in the middle, on the one hand, to visit his uncle's family, and at the same time to Rotterdam to go to school, which attracted the attention of the media and fans in the Netherlands.

Two weeks later, the eighth round of the Premier League.

In the opening game, Manchester United conceded a goal first, but Vidic, Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored three goals in a row to successfully reverse Wigan Athletic and win three valuable points away.

Liverpool were once again suffering from the national team's competition, and the team was very sluggish.

Although Yang Yang was very active, the tigers couldn't stand the wolves.

In the Eredivisie, he can provoke the whole team by himself, but in the Premier League, he does not have the strength for the time being.

In the seventeenth minute of the first half, McCarthy scored first for Blackburn.

But in the 64th minute of the second half, Yang Yang finally got a chance to equalize for Liverpool by relying on his own efforts, and then created several chances, but unfortunately his teammates' performance was really sluggish.

In the end, Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal and Chelsea both won this round, while Portsmouth and Bolton Wanderers also won their opponents, so Liverpool fell four places to sixth in the league table.

On the contrary, Yang Yang, after scoring a goal, joined Kanu and Andy Johnson to tie for the top scorer with six goals.

At the same time, the ten goals he agreed with Benitez are getting closer and closer.

…………

…………

Three days later, the third round of Group C of the Champions League.

Liverpool take on Bordeaux away.

Liverpool, who have suffered one draw and one defeat in the league and have not won two games in a row, are also threatened by Bordeaux on the road, and the second-placed team in Ligue 1 is playing quite aggressively on their home turf.

At the beginning, a group of players led by Miku, Malouda, Fauber, and Chamak played a dazzling side attack, and the combination of routines was very skillful, which made Liverpool a little stunned for a while.

However, Benitez still lined up a three-midfield configuration in this game, with Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko playing to the fullest, showing great tenacity and holding on to the goal.

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool's performance was sluggish and it was likely to suffer another defeat away from home, Yang Yang stepped forward at a critical moment.

When the game reached the 66th minute, Crouch headed the ball in the penalty area, Yang Yang quickly stepped forward diagonally, did not stop the ball, directly pulled out his leg and shot angrily, and broke the goal of Bordeaux with a powerful volley.

Then, as Bordeaux continued to chase and play, Liverpool always held on to the goal.

In the end, the Red Army defeated Bordeaux 1-0 away with Yang Yang's goal and won three consecutive group wins.

It can be said that this victory almost established Liverpool's top spot in the group stage, and as long as the team is stable and steady, there are few problems in qualifying for the top of the group.

In the three group games, Yang Yang assisted Gerrard to score in the first round, helping Liverpool beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0, another pass and a shot in the second round, and a killer goal in the third round.

It can be said that Yang Yang has made key contributions in the three group games, and his performance has also been unanimously recognized by the European media.

After beating Bordeaux, Benitez publicly stated that Yang Yang has become a vital player for the team.

'When we return to the UK, we will travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.

"There is no doubt that this will be another test of the difficult schedule for us, and I am confident that Yang Yang's performance will affect the outcome of the match."

Double Red Club, which is the highlight of every season in the Premier League.
