Chapter 682 Another Award!
In the home game against Wigan Athletic, Yang Yang did not start, but continued to sit on the bench.
Because he will face two key duels next, and both are away.
Benitez made a lot of rotations in this game. From the front to the back, a lot of people were changed, which caused the team to not play smoothly, especially in the first half. It can even be said that they played a little bit. Oops.
Daniel Agger started this game instead of Skrtel. The Danish central defender used a beautiful back row in the first half to break into the left side of the penalty area and assisted Kuyt to score and open the scoring for Liverpool.
Then the two sides played very stalemate, until the second half, Liverpool made substitutions one after another.
Yang Yang replaced Gareth Bell in the 70th minute. The Welshman's performance in this game has improved significantly. Although it still failed to meet Liverpool's expectations, at least people can see progress. .
Not long after Yang Yang played, he created a continuous threat on the left, especially in the 80th minute, Yang Yang cooperated with Gareth Barry on the left. Line ball hits the door.
The ball went straight into the lower right corner, extending the score for Liverpool, 2-0.
Three minutes later, Pennant assisted Kuyt for another victory, and the Dutchman scored twice.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home, continuing their winning streak in the new season.
...
After eight rounds, everyone was shocked by Liverpool's stability.
Last season, Liverpool finally maintained the league championship, and at the beginning of this season, Benitez's team once again showed a stable offensive and defensive balance, as well as an overall strength advantage.
Eight wins and eight wins, Liverpool played almost every game and scored points steadily.
This also makes many British media believe that this season's Premier League title is estimated to be Liverpool's possession.
However, in this round, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 5-0 away, Arsenal beat Everton 3-1 at home, Manchester United beat West Ham 4-0 at home, and the Premier League semi-finals all defeated their opponents.
As for Manchester City, which has been the limelight in the summer transfer, this round was a 2-2 draw with Newcastle away with one more player than the opponent.
This also makes people see the limitations of Manchester City again.
At the very least, to challenge the Premier League semi-finals, the Blue Moon still needs to show better performance.
It is reported that Manchester City intends to introduce Kaka during the winter break and is currently in active operation.
After this round, the Premier League officially announced that Liverpool's Yang Yang won the Player of the Month for September.
It is the first time he has won the honour this season, thanks to his impressive streak of goals in September.
Liverpool coach Benitez beat his arch-rival, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, and won the manager of the month award.
It is also a huge encouragement for Liverpool to win two awards again.

On the evening of October 22, the Calderon Stadium in Madrid.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool played away to Atletico Madrid.
This is undoubtedly a key battle to decide the top spot in this group. Whether it is Liverpool or Atletico Madrid, both won in the first two rounds, and the next home and away matchups in the third and fourth rounds will undoubtedly decide the top spot in the group.
And everyone knows that the first place in the group is not just a ranking, but more important is the advantage of the next sixteen opponents.
Liverpool visit Madrid with a goal of a draw, as the team is next in the league against Chelsea.
This is a very bad schedule. On balance, to play Atlético Madrid away, Liverpool should keep their strength and concentrate on playing Chelsea, because the latter is a strong dialogue and an away game, which has a great impact on the situation of the Premier League.
In contrast to Atletico Madrid, Liverpool still have a home.
Contrary to Liverpool's concept, Atletico Madrid has been determined to win from the very beginning. The double forwards headed by Torres and Forlan have frequently attacked Liverpool.
The Red Army invested heavily on the defensive end. The double midfielders led by Mascherano and Xavi Alonso firmly ensured the stability of the team's back line and defused Atletico Madrid's attack time and time again.
But after 15 minutes, Liverpool began to exert force.
In the 20th minute, Gerrard made a straight pass when he counterattacked from the middle, tore apart Atletico Madrid's defense line, Yang Yang quickly plugged in, dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area after getting the ball, wiped the central defender Perea, and played directly. Foot volley, breaking the Atletico Madrid goal.
Subsequently, Liverpool launched a fierce attack on the sheet legion. Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Yang Yang all got shot opportunities successively and suppressed Atletico Madrid on the scene.
Sheet Legion coach Aguirre also became ruthless, and directly at halftime, he won Luis Garcia, replaced Argentine teenager Aguero, and displayed the tactical style of four strikers in front.
For more than ten minutes after that, Atletico Madrid dominated the scene. Forlan made another pass behind him. Torres pushed in and scored, but was signaled offside by the referee. This penalty caused a strong controversy.
But in the 61st minute, it was another straight pass from Gerrard. Yang Yang used his speed advantage to force his way into the penalty area, before goalkeeper Franco hit the spot. , kicked the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal, 2-0!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"A quick counter-attack from Liverpool."
"Mascherano stole the ball, Gerrard made a direct pass, and Yang Yang was like a sharp knife, piercing Atletico Madrid's defense at once, 2-0!"
"Yang Yang scored twice, which is also his fourth goal in the Champions League this season!"
...
But the fans at the Calderon Stadium responded with boos.
No one likes this, the guy on his doorstep, breaking his own goal, and celebrating his goal.
Booing is already the greatest tolerance, and it would be nice not to throw his pig head.
Yang Yang was also quickly substituted, and Gareth Bell came on again as a left winger.
Later, Lucas Rewa also replaced Xavi Alonso.
Liverpool made consecutive substitutions to save for the weekend against Chelsea, while Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to recover a goal in the 83rd minute. Forlan made a cross from the edge of the penalty area, and Simao scored a low shot from the left rib, 1-2.
In the end, Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 with Yang Yang's brace.
Aguirre, the head coach of the Sheets Legion, expressed regret after the game that this game allowed Atletico Madrid to see the strength gap between itself and the top European teams, and it would allow Atletico Madrid to learn a lot.
Atletico Madrid captain Torres also said in an interview with Spanish media after the game that he has always admired Yang Yang very much.
"He is a very good player, he can run, carry, pass and shoot. He is very comprehensive. He can make crosses from the left, and he can also cut inside. This is a disaster for all defenders, and he is also Liverpool. The core of the attack on the pitch."
British Reuters also commented immediately after the game, lamenting: "Yang Yang is the world's top attacker!"
The Guardian said that Yang Yang tore apart Atletico Madrid's defense twice.
"It turns out that as long as Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt function properly and can create scoring opportunities, Yang Yang is the most terrifying killer on the planet!"
In addition to Yang Yang, Gerrard has also been unanimously appreciated and affirmed by the outside world.
The goalkeeper Reina also showed a very high level in this game. The Guardian even used the magical Reina to describe his performance tonight, especially the high block and low reception in the final stage, but what is worrying is that Reina Na's performance has been inconsistent.

When Liverpool narrowly beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 away, but won applause, at Stamford Bridge in London, England, the home team Chelsea beat Roma 1-0, but encountered huge controversy.
At the post-match press conference, Roma coach Spalletti publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the result.
"Chelsea's only chance to score came from a set-piece in 77 minutes!"
The implication of the Roma coach is obvious, Chelsea's win was too lucky, without this free kick, Roma could at least take away a draw from the away game.
Scolari did not dare to refute this, but just forced a smile and said, "I am very glad that we won, and we played well, as did Roma, this result will be more favorable for us away from home, and then we will take A different strategy from today."
With 17 to 9 shots, 63 to 37 possession and 5 to 2 corners, Chelsea have the upper hand in every statistic, but what is embarrassing is that when it comes to truly effective chances , Chelsea did not take any advantage.
This also makes Chelsea's hard-won victory less convincing.
Scolari said that the reason for the team’s sluggish offense was Drogba’s injury, but there was obviously no way to prove why Malouda acted like a sleepwalker in the first half of the match against Roma. Scolari was substituted.
Subsequently, even another winger Kalou was replaced, replaced by the Argentine teenager Di Santo.
It can be said that Chelsea's attacking problems were exposed in this game against Roma, and at this terrible moment, Scolari will usher in Liverpool, whose strength has skyrocketed this season, which is undoubtedly a great test for Chelsea. .
The Brazilian head coach said in an interview with the media that the team is ready.
But at the same time, he reluctantly said, "At present, players including Essien, Drogba, Ballack and other players in the team are injured, which is a very big blow to us. We have very few choices, but we I will try my best to beat the opponent at home.”
Chelsea's downturn, on the contrary, sets off Liverpool's current strength.
Benitez's team returned from Madrid, Spain. Yang Yang's brace, Gerrard's assist, Xavi Alonso's organization, and Reina's miraculous play all changed Liverpool. be more powerful.
Especially after the team returned to Liverpool, Yang Yang immediately ushered in another annual award.
In this game against Iran, I was excited at the beginning, thinking I had a chance, but as a result... I fell asleep only after seeing the first goal conceded, so depressing!
The overall strength and skills are not as good as others, the players make mistakes under the high pressure of the opponent, there is no way, we are at this level...
