Chapter 666 We're Going to Have some Surprises!

Liverpool's three-game winning streak starts!

This quickly detonated public opinion in the British domestic media, because Chelsea drew Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 at home.

In other words, after the third round of the league, Liverpool ranked first in the standings with a two-point lead.

Yang Yang, who just won UEFA's best striker of the season in Monaco, scored a lore goal in this round to help Liverpool beat Aston Villa away, which won 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, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all played very dangerously here last season, Chelsea lost 0-2, and Mourinho didn't take long after that. get out of class is over."

"This season, Martin O'Neal's team still performed very vigorously. In the first round, they defeated the soaring Manchester City at home 4-2, which shows the combat effectiveness of Aston Villa at home."

"Liverpool suffered a heavy blow before this game. Captain Gerrard was absent due to injury and could not participate in this game, which led to Benitez having to make adjustments in the lineup. The Spaniard chose Gareth Barry instead of the more attacking Benayoun, obviously because he knows the horrors at Villa Park."

"There are even people who think that Martin O'Neal's team is fully capable of rushing into European competitions."

"In this game, O'Neal was also full of dread on Yang Yang, who had just won UEFA's best striker of the season, and focused on marking him, which really froze Yang Yang in the first half, but in the middle During the break, Yang Yang took the initiative to propose that he could adjust his role and position on the court."

"As a result, after the second half, Yang Yang completely ushered in an explosion through a wide range of running. He used three consecutive corner kicks to create a threat at the beginning, and scored the only goal in the game not long after that. "

The Times believes that Liverpool's state this season is very similar to that of last season. They are all in the state from the beginning, put in the score, and win one after another, laying an advantage from the beginning.

But the problem with this set of play is persistence.

"Last season, after Liverpool finished the start, they were in a sluggish performance. It was all supported by Yang Yang alone. This led to Yang Yang's physical and mental state after entering December. Months and February were very sluggish."

"For this problem, Benitez said in an interview with the media that the team has found an effective solution to the problem, because the thickness of the team's bench this season is significantly stronger than last season."

"According to what the reporter learned, under the training of personal trainer Winston Bogard, Yang Yang has not been as active as last season, and his state seems to be more stable, but it has been maintained at a high level. The purpose is to hope to continue this state for a long time and maintain stability.”

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

At the same time when the major British media were discussing Liverpool's three-game winning streak at the beginning, the Premier League was suspended, ushering in the two-week national team game day. This time, Yang Yang and other Chinese players who have studied abroad have also returned to China.

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

After the lottery, the Chinese team was assigned to Group A this time, in the same group as Japan, Bahrain, Australia and Uzbekistan. On the national team game day in September, the Chinese team has only one game, which is to play Uzbekistan away. stan.

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 overseas internationals immediately went to the national team for training.

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

Wang Dalei was recommended by Yang Yang to go to 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 1.8 meters tall. five.

After joining Alkmaar, Wang Dalei came into contact with the most advanced goalkeeper training system and concepts in Europe under the guidance of Frans Hawke. On the one hand, the club and the coaching staff attached great importance to him, and on the other hand, his own The talent is also quite good, so the progress is very fast.

Last season, he has made ten appearances for Alkmaar in various competitions. For him, Van Gaal did not even sign in the goalkeeper position, and this season, Wang Dalei, who is only 19 years old, has been directly promoted. to the main position.

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

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

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

...

After a week of training in Beijing, the anecdote of studying abroad has become a hot topic of discussion among the national team internationals.

From the national team to the national Olympic team to the national youth team, the whole atmosphere of studying 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 Bundesliga, or even Austria , Switzerland and other worse leagues, you can see the current figure of Chinese players.

Then the national team went to the Middle East to challenge Uzbekistan away.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Chinese team defeated their opponents 1-0 on the road, Yang Yang assisted Chen Tao and scored a goal.

But just as the Chinese team narrowly defeated a strong opponent on the road, the internationals were disbanded on the spot, Yang Yang immediately returned to the UK, and when he met Su Ye in London, he received a piece of news that was quite unfavorable for Liverpool.

Manchester's western suburbs, Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Ferguson sat in the head coach's office all afternoon.

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

At this time, a news was broadcast on TV. Liverpool's central defender Carragher was injured in his first training session back to the team. This is the second Liverpool player to be injured in the past two days.

The former one was Peter Crouch.

The English high man represented England in the World Cup qualifiers in the European region. He played very well in Croatia away from home. He fully played the role of his tactical center and helped the team beat Croatia four-to-one, but he was in the eighth place. Injured in fifteen minutes.

Hearing this news, Ferguson also laughed a little schadenfreude.

He felt that Liverpool should be very distressed by this, because Capello's team started Crouch for two consecutive games, but he did not expect that Crouch was injured in the last minute of the second game.

Benitez must be in a rage right now, needless to say.

But that's the catastrophe that comes with the national team competition and Liverpool are not the first and will not be the last.

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

Thirty years old, injuries also began to increase.

Coupled with the previously injured Gerrard, Liverpool is now an important member of the front, middle and back three lines have suffered injuries.

You don't have to guess, this will be a huge blow to Liverpool, but it's a rare opportunity for Manchester United.

How to do?

The question was put in front of Ferguson, and he fretted about it all afternoon.

...

Sitting on the sofa, Ferguson looked at the closed office door countless times, longing for his assistants Mike Phelan and Rene Mulensteen to knock on the door and tell him, "Boss, Good news, those bastards at Liverpool are injured, and I think we should have it right away..."

But every time, he was disappointed.

There is no doubt that this is what Carlos Queiroz would do. Mike Phelan and Rene Murenstin would not dare to do it. They are too honest and always think that Ferguson should be doing things in the office. , should not bother.

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

Ferguson wanted to get rid of Liverpool, because he knew very well that Liverpool could not be allowed to continue to win like this, Benitez's team has been stable, and the fourth round is a rare opportunity.

Yang Yang traveled back to Asia to play games, and his body must be very tired. Gerrard has just recovered from his injury and participated in training, but it is estimated that he will not be able to play the game. Now Carragher and Crouch are injured again, which is a huge blow to Liverpool.

If Manchester United exerts a force at this time to grab Liverpool from the leader's position and interrupt the Red Army's 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 can stop them?

Last season, Liverpool's winning streak all the way, Ferguson can still vividly remember.

But opportunity also comes with risk, because this is Anfield and everything is hard to say.

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

Mullensteen's biggest role is to train players, and Mike Phelan's biggest advantage is that he can be Ferguson's spokesman and accept interviews with the media he doesn't want to accept.

Only Queiroz, he can really sit down with Ferguson, study and discuss how to kill those damn opponents.

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

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

As soon as they heard the door open, Mike Phelan and Rene Mulensteen walked out of the next office.

"Hey, boss."

"Get ready, we're going to have some surprises this weekend!"
