Super Storm

After a week of vacation in China, Yang Yang returned to the UK.

He was greeted by a news from the official website of the Premier League. Liverpool once again won two Premier League monthly bests.

With four consecutive victories in August, Benitez defeated Manchester City's Eriksson and won the title of the best coach of the month.

The start of Manchester City under Eriksson was also very eye-catching. He won three games in a row and did not lose a goal. There was also a one-to-nine derby game against Manchester United. In that game, Eriksson ’s formation was received Unanimously praised.

But unfortunately, the Swedes encountered Liverpool and Benitez in a state of bad luck.

Also unlucky is Manchester City defender Richards.

This young native talented defender started this season with a very impressive start. It can be said to be one of the best players in the Premier League start and is also a popular candidate for the best player of the month.

Unfortunately, Yang Yang scored six goals and one assist in the first four rounds of the new season, leading Liverpool to a four-game winning streak, which left Richards unable to shake Yang Yang ’s position.

In the end, Liverpool won two best monthly awards.

When the Premier League official announced that Yang Yang once again stood on the cusp of public opinion, all major media have praised him as the best player to start the Premier League this season, and also the performance of European football in the new season so far The best star.

"We have every reason to believe that he is ushering in a milestone season!" Alan Hansen looked forward to.

…………

…………

After a two-week absence from the national team, the Premier League rekindled the battle.

Liverpool ushered in the sixth round of opponents and challenged Pompeii Portsmouth away.

Redknapp's team's schedule this season can be called the devil in the devil.

In the first five rounds of the League of Pompeii, they were two main and three away, but one of them was against Manchester United and two away against Chelsea and Arsenal. In the first five rounds, they encountered three of the top four in the Premier League. The bad schedule is evident.

Even more terrible is that in the sixth round they ushered in Liverpool at the top of their rankings at home.

Under Redknapp's training, Portsmouth's home performance has always been good, especially their defense.

Last season Portsmouth only lost 15 goals at home, only less than Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa, and their home results ranked sixth in the Premier League, more than Aston Villa outstanding.

By this season, Portsmouth's home results have remained good, with a one-to-one draw with Manchester United, a three-on-one defeat to Bolton, and an away game. In addition to failing to win Derby County in the first round, they lost one to one. Chelsea, losing one to three at Arsenal, are all acceptable results.

It can be said that Redknapp's team is definitely a hard stubborn not to be underestimated.

...

In contrast to Liverpool, the overall strength is indeed ahead of each other, but the situation is not ideal.

There are many internationals in the team. After receiving the call, they all went to play around the world, which caused the players to return to the team later. Some European internationals who participated in the European Cup qualifiers even returned to Liverpool after the game. He kept going south to Portsmouth.

In this case, the player's overall consumption will be greater and the preparation will be more insufficient.

But more importantly, Liverpool have a UEFA Champions League group stage away in the middle of the week.

In the group stage, the three teams of Porto, Marseille and Besiktas were drawn. Liverpool's lottery was good luck. Of these three teams, Porto is the most likely to threaten the top player of the Liverpool group.

In the first round of the group stage in the middle of the week, Liverpool wanted to play Porto away, which is undoubtedly a highlight.

Benitez's decision is to insist on two-handed catch, neither the league nor the Champions League is relaxed.

Therefore, Liverpool's platoon formation was reserved for this game, including Mascherano, Gerrard, Yang Yang and Kuyt did not appear in the lineup, but all sat on the bench.

Yang Yang does not have the pressure of the national team game, and he also returned to the team early to prepare, but Benitez still decided to hide him, let him concentrate on preparing for the Champions League in midweek, that is the team's most important battle.

But the game was obviously not as smooth as Benitez expected.

...

They have always performed very well at home and have outstanding defensive abilities. They can draw Manchester United one-on-one at home against Portsmouth and face a rare aggressiveness in the face of Liverpool who have not tried their best.

Redknapp is also a veteran coach of the Premier League. He has a lot of experience in coaching. He knows Liverpool's strategy very well, and he wants to profit from it. So at the start of this game, his Portsmouth is in step. Let, die with Liverpool.

The midfielder, led by Montari, even messed up the pace of Liverpool's game.

Xavi Alonso and Benaillon are under the other's close guard, and they behave more generally.

Even in the thirtieth minute, Aveloya was flagged for a foul while defending the opponent striker Kanu. The referee did not hesitate to give a penalty, which made Liverpool players on the court very dissatisfied. Head coach Benitez excitedly complained to the fourth official.

Kanu's penalty was saved by Reina. Although the Spanish goalkeeper often made some major mistakes, many key moments also had wonderful performances.

Subsequently, Liverpool and Portsmouth still had mutual offensive and defensive.

After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, the Reds still failed to open the situation.

Benitez quickly made substitutions, first replacing Gerald with Benardong, and then Yang Yang replaced Voronin.

Both substitutions are very obvious, want to strengthen the team's offense.

Portsmouth also made a substitution, replacing a forward and a midfielder.

Redknapp was obviously very worried about Yang Yang and Gerrard.

All substitutions were made between sixty-five and seventy minutes, and in the ensuing ten minutes, the two sides still failed to get too good opportunities, and no one could create a good scoring opportunity.

Until the 83rd minute ...

...

When Yang Yang saw Crouchella to the right to catch the ball, his choice was to go down the middle of the lane along the penalty area line.

Portsmouth always has two defensive players close to him, which makes Yang Yang can only continue to expand his running range.

Now, he looked like he was going to meet Crouch.

Pennant passed the ball on the right and fell to the front point, but Crouch, under the control of the opposing halfbacks Campbell and Distin, although grabbed the first landing point, he dared not stop the ball, but the first The header went straight out of the big penalty area and was returned to Gerrard 20 meters away.

Everyone's attention fell to the right, especially when Crouch headed back to Gerald.

Yang Yang naturally also noticed, so he stopped suddenly on the left side of the arc top area of ​​the restricted area. After letting Muntari sideways, he rushed directly to the back of the restricted area.

Portsmouth's right-back Glen Johnson was just transferred from Chelsea this summer. His offensive ability is his strength, but his defense has always been criticized. After all, he is still relatively young.

Yang Yang stopped abruptly and went straight into the penalty area. After that, he was surprised that Glen Johnson and Montari, who were in charge of guarding him, quickly followed.

On the other side, Gerrard waited for Crouch's header from a distance away from the goal. He was also marked by Portsmouth's midfielder and had no time to stop the ball. Point after passing the restricted area.

For this oblique pass, Gerrard is not hopeful, it is more an attempt, so the quality of the pass is not particularly high, and the landing point is in the left corner of the small penalty area.

But when Yang Yang plugged in, he was also paying close attention to the trajectory of the air ball, as well as the distance between Glen Johnson and the other midfielder Montari.

Two players in Portsmouth are planning to attack him one after the other.

Yang Yang took the opportunity to make a decisive move and rushed to the left corner of the small restricted area with the fastest speed, leap forward first.

After a long period of strength training, especially the gym equipment training, cycling and staircase running back training, Yang Yang found that his bouncing power is getting better and better, which makes him more and more confident.

Especially with [Klinsmann's header] continuous practice and improvement, he is more and more confident about his header, so even this time he wants to avoid Glen Johnson and Montari Defensively, he took a small step in advance, but he still got a shot from Gerald's foot with his own bouncing advantage.

But he can only reach a far corner.

...

"Gerard volleyed into the penalty area ..."

"Yang Yang ran out of his seat, jumped high, headed the ball!"

"Goal !!!"

"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"

"In the eighty-third minute, without anyone's expectation, even when Liverpool players, including Gerrard himself, did not think of it, Yang Yang broke the Portsmouth with a wonderful header. Goal. "

"Let's see the slow motion of his goal this time."

"Yang Yang jumped high, and Glen Johnson and Montari did not dare to foul, only to watch him jump."

"He jumped too high, and it felt as if he had skipped the tops of Glen Johnson and Montari because the two players were not high."

...

After Yang Yang scored, he rushed to the side of the court excitedly and slid on his knees in front of the stands of Liverpool fans who came to the team away.

Behind him, Liverpool players also rushed out to celebrate.

In front of the visiting team coach, Benitez was a bit ecstatic.

Six consecutive victories!

Liverpool have performed so well this season!

And this also depends entirely on Yang Yang's scoring goal!

On the contrary, the home team coach Redknapp looked very depressed, and Yang Yang, who looked at the side of the court, was full of grudges, as if to say that I have already arranged two people to stare at you, how can I still score What?

After more than eighty minutes of defense, the goal was lost in the end. This was a terrible blow for Portsmouth.

Even Redknapp had to admit that this game was broken!

His tactics completely guarded Liverpool's organization and attack, but lost to Yang Yang.

What else can he say?
