When he came back from South Korea, Zhao Yaning also received calls from friends to congratulate him. Having reached the World Cup finals and being able to go to Germany next year is a good thing for China.

And Zhao Yaning naturally couldn't help but cheer up with his friends: Poolau still has to play with Croatia now, and the European qualifiers are not over yet.

And this time in the Asian qualifiers, in the end, the South Koreans couldn't cry: Saudi Arabia played match-fixing at their home stadium, and they just lost to Uzbekistan by three goals, allowing Uzbekistan to eliminate South Korea with a goal difference.

South Koreans angrily shouted that this was match-fixing, to make China, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan look good - but, in the AFC, he is not covering the sky with one hand after all, and this time the debaction was done by Saudi Arabia, and Zhao Yaning was also happy to be on the sidelines, taking these things as a joke.

No matter how capable the Koreans are, can they make the replay of the game that has ended?

And Zhao Yaning, who returned to the club, at this time, had to face the game against Sunderland.

As a promoted team, Sunderland are not a very strong team. Zhao Yaning had just returned from the national team and was still very tired, so Benitez also chose to let him sit on the bench instead of starting.

However, the progress of the game was not very smooth.

In this game, Figo replaced Zhao Yaning on the left half, while Garcia operated on the right side. However, Figo can get the ball and pass it well. However, he has not yet adapted to the high pace and speed of play in the Premier League, and with his current explosiveness, he can't pass people with speed in the Premier League.

And what Zhao Yaning usually does is to rely on his own breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's backline. Failure to do so would be in big trouble for Liverpool, with Steven Gerrard and Garcia's passes not enough to take advantage of those very small chances, making it difficult for Liverpool to win.

Sunderland, as a relegation team, clearly know what their task is. They barely attacked, just relied on defending at the back and tried to hold on to a point – and they knew very well that as a relegation team, it would be very difficult to get a goal against Liverpool. But if they blindly defend, Liverpool will not have many ways - last season's Liverpool was unable to win the relegation team in many games, and finally fell to third.

Clearly, they were quite right, and Liverpool failed to score a single goal throughout the first half.

"Coach, let me play." Zhao Yaning looked at the situation and couldn't help frowning. Unable to do anything in the face of the relegation team's stubborn defense of the penalty area, it was the biggest problem that Liverpool had been encountering last season, and I didn't expect that this season, Liverpool's problems are still there.

Benitez was slow to act. He prefers that the team can have a variety of different ways to match the attack, rather than putting all the tasks on Zhao Yaning alone. Although Zhao Yaning is very good and trustworthy, if a team has a dependency on a certain player, it will be very troublesome.

However, in the second half of the game, when the situation could not be opened for a long time, Benitez could only make a substitution, "You replace Stephen." Don't try to force down from the middle, work with the wings and rely on the wings to open up the situation. Mobilize your teammates, don't do it yourself. ”

Looking at the time, it's already sixty-three minutes. Zhao Yaning nodded, but he still made up his mind in his heart: just try it for ten minutes, if it doesn't work, just do it yourself. The opponent has been almost slipped away by Figo, and after he comes on the field, he should be able to make a difference.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, all the fans who watched the game immediately began to clamour. At this time, Sunderland's players immediately felt uneasy.

"Liverpool have picked up the ...... Zhao Yaning broke through quickly! ”

When the commentator screamed, Zhao Yaning didn't actually choose to break through, after getting the ball, he took a false step in the direction of the penalty area, and he immediately rushed to the left side. With a kick that shook the opponent's supplementary defense, Zhao Yaning had already seen the defense line in the penalty area approaching, and if he hit it again at this time, the back line would be chaotic......

handed the ball to Figo on the side, Zhao Yaning was about to run into the penalty area, he wanted to rely on this two-by-one cooperation to kill in the penalty area. However, Sunderland's defender Bryan grabbed him directly and pulled him down.

"There was a mistake in Liverpool's cooperation, and Zhao Yaning was pulled down in front of the penalty area! It was a threatening attack, but now there was no chance. ”

When Zhao Yaning got up, the referee had already taken out the card and gave it to Brien. Although Bryan was fouled, he was not malicious, and he was not the last man on the backline, so what he got was only a yellow card.

A clever tactical foul. However, it's just about fouls. If you foul me, you'll have to be more careful.

Glancing at the position of the goalkeeper, Zhao Yaning began to think about it. This ball is very close to the goal, whether it is an arc or a fallen leaf, it is not very suitable.

Then, just cooperate.

Zhao Yaning passed the ball to Garcia who was next to him, and Garcia immediately passed the ball out. Zhao Yaning rushed forward two steps with the ball, and at this time, the opponent's human wall did not disperse, but was all piled up in front of Zhao Yaning, blocking all his breakthrough lines.

It seems that the goal in the Champions League final is too impressive. At this time, no one will give him a chance to break into the restricted area.

But Zhao Ya

Ning's original intention was not to break through the forbidden area.

The step forward with his right foot was a little bigger, and Zhao Yaning found a space for himself to pass the ball. He flicked the ball behind his right foot with his left foot, and with the other he flicked the ball to Sissoko, who was already empty.

Sissoko raised his foot, swung his leg, kicked a heavy cannon, and hit the goal directly!

“gooooal！！！！！ Muhammad Sissoko!! Now we can assert that he is the most suitable reinforcement for Liverpool! Ferocious and violent, he really has the DNA that is unique to Liverpudlians! ”

Sissoko, who scored the goal, swung his arms to the stands, flexing his muscles. Being able to score a goal on his second appearance was a huge help for him to integrate into Liverpool.

And this goal also relieved Liverpool's heart that had been hanging. The opponent is a relegation team, almost no attack, and if they can score a goal, Liverpool will almost guarantee victory.

"Thanks, brother!" When Sissoko turned his head, he didn't forget to pat Zhao Yaning on the shoulder. Everyone was born in France, and this ball also brought Sissoko and Zhao Yaning a lot closer.

Soon, Liverpool's attack came back to the table. This time, Figo controlled the ball and rushed up from the left side, and Zhao Yaning answered it. He received the ball in the ribs of the penalty area, turned around, and at the same time, he shook the player who grabbed it with a fake fax buckle, and then sent the ball directly to the penalty area!

The moment Milito received the ball, the whistle blew: Milito was offside.

"Zhao Yaning immediately created two extremely outstanding opportunities after he came on the court. I have to say that in this team, Zhao Yaning is indispensable. ”

Such praise is not exaggerated. If Liverpool is compared to a warrior, then the defense in the backfield is the tactical majestic body, and the defense in the midfield is the steel armor of the warrior. And Gerald is a strong and powerful arm, and Zhao Yaning's technique is the long sword of this tactical killing. Without Zhao Yaning, this team would not necessarily lose, but with Zhao Yaning, this team would have extremely terrifying lethality.

In the final minutes, Liverpool were unable to score again, and in this game, with a goal from Sissoko, Liverpool claimed a match victory.

After the league victory, Liverpool immediately had two big games on the horizon.

One was the second leg of the Champions League play-offs against Shakhtar Donetsk. However, the pressure of this game is not great, Liverpool won 3-0 away from home, as long as they do not lose four at home, they will advance, and Anfield, the home field, is not likely to be poured four.

But another game is more important. That one, on August 26, was the match of the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Moscow Zōng Yāng Army.

As an ancillary competition to the Champions League, although the weight of this championship is not very heavy, it is still a trophy. Liverpool's luck was apparently good, not against a team from the mainstream league, but against the Moscow Zhōng Yāng Army in Russia. The strength of this team should be slightly worse, and Liverpool's chances are not small.

However, because of these two games, Liverpool's away game against Charlton Athletic in the third round and the home game against Arsenal in the fourth round will have to be rescheduled.

This made Liverpool also a little regretful: after two rounds, Liverpool scored six points and scored five goals, ranking first in the league, but the ass has not yet sat down, and it is about to be bombarded. With the current situation in the Premier League, with two fewer games, it is uncertain where it will be bombed.

It was in this context that Liverpool welcomed Shakhtar Donetsk.

In this game, Zhao Yaning, Milito, McConn, Alonso and other main players were all rested. There is no need to win the game, and their attitude is naturally not very serious.

In this game, although Liverpool is playing at home, it does not have any advantage. In the first half, Shakhtar Donetsk's midfielder Srna scored a free-kick.

This made Liverpool's defense, in the second half, very tense for a while. But Milito, who came off the bench, seized a chance in the second half. After a deft run into the box, he latched onto Figo's pass and stabbed Shè home from close range to equalise for Liverpool.

This also made the Liverpudlian enter the Champions League very smoothly. Although Shakhtar Donetsk complained after the game, believing that the defending champions were bullying people by playing in the play-offs - and in fact, UEFA is also discussing changes to the regulations to allow the defending champions to enter the Champions League directly, but this time, Shakhtar Donetsk have clearly suffered.

At this time, the Liverpool team also left Liverpool and went to Monaco. There, they will be in for the UEFA Super Cup, which would also be their first trophy of the season if they win.

In this game, Liverpool rotated again. Zhao Yaning and Morientes both got the chance to start this game - this game, for the two of them, can be regarded as a revisit.

Figo was put on the bench for this game - as a veteran, he needs more rest, and it is necessary for him to rest properly.

And in one of the changes, McConn was replaced by Finnan. He only left Monaco this year, and the fans here are not very happy with his move and have a lot of opinions about him, so Benitez chose to put him on the bench.

And at the moment when he walked into the court, Zhao Yaning suddenly heard the deafening cheers around him.

"Moreau, do you hear that?" Zhao Yaning looked back and smiled, "Here, it's our home field!" ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
