Liverpool have once again skillfully entered the situation of internal and external troubles.

At Anfield Stadium, Zhao Yuyu sat on the bench and watched Middlesbrough press Liverpool's fat beating!

In this League Cup 16-8 match, Liverpool sent all the substitutes to face the defending champions, and none of the main players who played in the league three days ago did not play. It's no wonder that he was beaten like this bear.

Although the score was still 0:0, it was because Cenden's good ball was blown offside, and Ruobu's solo shot also hit the post.

Although it is only the League Cup, Zhao Yuyu still wants to win the game.

Yesterday former Liverpool and England captain Emlyn Hughes passed away from brain cancer at the age of 57.

Known for his bravery and hard-working on the pitch, Hughes, nicknamed "Crazy Horse", was spotted by manager Bill Shankly in 1967 and joined Liverpool for £650,000 at the age of 19. The combination of the two proved to be perfect, and together they propelled Liverpool to the top of Europe.

Hughes spent 12 years at Liverpool at left-back, captaining the team to back-to-back Champions League titles in 1977 and 1978, the club's first taste of European competition.

Hughes has helped Liverpool to a stellar record, including four Premier League (then League One) titles, two Champions Cups, two League Cups and one FA Cup. He played 665 games for the Reds and scored 48 goals for the Reds.

Before the game, the players of both sides and more than 20,000 fans in attendance stood solemnly and expressed their condolences to Hughes.

Hughes's death means that Zhao Yuyu has one less staunch touter. When Zhao Yuyu just landed in Liverpool, he expressed his optimism.

After retiring from the sport, Hughes became a household name on British television and a regular on the BBC's "Sports Issues" program. Before lying down completely, he often seized the opportunity to tout Liverpool's little prince on the show......

Zhao Yuyu hurried to Anfield Stadium from Matthew's funeral, hoping to do something to give Matthew's spirit in the sky, but unfortunately Benitez didn't seem to be able to get this, and now that the game is in Yuyu's time, there is still no intention of substitution......

Benitez expressed his attitude towards training in the Carabao Cup before the game: "Liverpool have a lot of good young players in the squad and if possible, I hope they can get a chance to work in the cup. ”

Compared to Liverpool, Middlesbrough's attitude is very different.

Last season's Carabao Cup triumph was Middlesbrough's first major title in 128 years of existence, and the team qualified for the UEFA Cup this season.

Middlesbrough captain and centre-back Gareth Southgate said ahead of the game that Middlesbrough are already in the top six in the Premier League: "With our current squad, it is a realistic goal to aim for a top-six finish in the league and it would be disappointing if we didn't. ”

Middlesbrough believe they have what it takes to fight for a European place and a certain amount of honour, and after beating Lazio and experiencing the scenery of European competition, they are even more eager for European places.

But now that their Premier League table is not up to their expectations, it is natural to think of the path of last season, and maybe it would be more practical to fight for the Carabao Cup? With such thoughts, it is natural that they will not pass up the opportunity to eliminate strong opponents in the League Cup.

It's a pity that they are unable to score in the face of the Liverpool youth army who are actively fighting......

……

Zhao Yuyu, who quickly shook his legs and stomped his feet, couldn't sit still, so he bounced up from the chair and went straight to warm up.

Benitez, who inadvertently turned around, was slightly stunned when he saw this scene: Forget it, anyway, Barosh will be able to play in the next game, although the most suitable position for Yu Yu now is not a center forward......

After young centre-back Whitblad cleared Middlesbrough's pass cleanly off the touchline, Zhao Yuyu came on to replace Mailer, who had been playing 80 minutes.

……

"Yu Yu finally came on the pitch, and there were huge cheers at Anfield Stadium, and more than 20,000 Liverpool fans in the stadium were looking forward to the performance of the Little Prince!"

"Who would have thought that such a Chinese kid would become the darling of Anfield so quickly, and it is said that because of his existence, Crazy Matthews was convinced that Liverpool's future was bright before he died!"

……

After Zhao Yuyu came on the court, it was the opponent's throw-in, and the strong desire to win made their movements anxious, and the simple and rough pass was directly tackled by Dior.

Dior handed it to Biscayne, and Biscayne made a long pass directly to Zhao Yuyu, who headed the ball to Potter on the right, and turned directly into the middle after landing.

The Middlesbrough defenders prioritised Zhao Yuyu, which created favourable conditions for Graham Potter's departure.

Potter rushed along the sideline towards the baseline, and when facing the defense, he directly reversed the ribs, and the right-back Partridge, who assisted in place, took the ball and plugged it straight to Zhao Yuyu, who responded at the front point.

Zhao Yuyu conceded the ball in front of him, flicked the soles of his left foot, and accelerated the ball forward, causing Woodgate to lean back and kick back with his right foot when he continued to move forward......

Woodgate hurriedly braked and stretched out his foot to break the ball to prevent Zhao Yuyu from cutting inside to the edge of the small penalty area to hit the goal......

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuyu's right foot just slid over the football, and when Woodgate stretched his foot, his backward body also leaned forward, and he threw off Woodgate's defense in one step, facing the attacking goalkeeper Nash, and directly pushed the far corner......

……

"Gooooooooal, Yuyu! Shoot into the far corner from a tight angle! ”

Yu Yu continued his supernatural performance, breaking the deadlock as soon as he came on the court! England captain Woodgate was directly swept to the ground by Yu Yu's beautiful Okocha! Nash can't do anything in the face of Yuyu's push! ”

"Excellent foot technique, precise center of gravity control, amazing body flexibility, can anyone tell me what Yu Yu can't do?"

"It's 84 minutes and Liverpool are 1-0 up Middlesbrough!"

"Yu Yu ran to the sidelines to celebrate, he pulled up his jersey, it was ......"

"Yu Yu's avatar is printed with a picture of Crazy Mahughes, is this a goal to comfort Hughes's spirit in the sky? I gotta say, Yuyu is a good guy! ”

"Yu Yu ......"

……

Zhao Yuyu put down his jersey, hugged and celebrated with his teammates who were chasing him, looked at the deformed faces of his teammates, listened to their roars, felt their hard slapping, and his low mood improved......

Liverpool's morale was boosted at the same time, Middlesbrough's morale was destroyed, in the face of Liverpool's second team, the whole field could not lead, and Zhao Yuyu scored this beautiful goal, it is foreseeable that the team and captain Woodgate will become Zhao Yuyu's background board for a long time......

After the restart, Middlesbrough became more impatient and played a simple long ball to hang down, hoping luck would help them equalise.

With a three-minute stoppage time sign held up on the sidelines, Cendon picked up the ball at his own back and looked up to see his team-mates up front for a long pass.

Potter swooped down from the side, stabbed the ball at Cendon's feet, and after winning the ball, he went straight into the empty penalty area!

Zhao Yuyu, who had long noticed Potter's actions, went straight into the penalty area, and after winning the ball, the right-footed smash changed direction past the attacking goalkeeper Nash, and pushed the empty goal with his left foot!

2：0！

The defending champions are home!
