Chapter 466 Reassurance

"Friends of the audience, welcome to the live broadcast of the fourth round of the ESPN Premier League."

"I am your old friend McMahon. I am now at Everton's Goodson Park Stadium, broadcasting the game live for you. This game at noon today is the first Merseyside derby of the season."

"Through the live TV footage, everyone can clearly see that Goodson Park is full of people and there are no seats left."

"So far, the two Merseyside teams have two wins and one tie. Liverpool drew [-]-[-] away with Sheffield United, beat Newcastle [-]-[-] at home, and beat West Ham United [-]-[-] at home."

"Everton beat Watford [-]-[-] at home, drew Blackburn [-]-[-] away, and Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] away. Moyes' team results are also very eye-catching."

"After three rounds, both teams have seven points."

"The difference is that in the past two weeks of national team match days, Liverpool has been more affected. Many international players in the team have been transferred to the national team to play in the European Cup qualifiers. Relatively speaking, Everton has been affected the least."

"However, at the press conference before the game, Liverpool coach Benitez made it clear that the pressure of this game is indeed great, but he believes that his team can overcome the pressure and win this derby."

"And in this game, Liverpool also sent their main players to play."

"The goalkeeper is Reina, the defense is Aurelio, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan, the midfield is Mohamed Sissoko, Gerrard and Xavi Alonso, and the front trident is Yang Yang, Peter Crouch and Dirk."

"Danish central defender Daniel Agger, who performed well this season, was replaced by Carragher who returned from injury, and the other positions basically continued the main lineup configuration of Benitez's previous three rounds."

"Liverpool are ambitious and want to win, but Everton are also not to be outdone."

"In the press conference before the game, Moyes made a high-profile statement that Liverpool will not take even a single point from Goodson Park, because Everton will try their best to snipe Liverpool and firmly believe that their team can win."

"Obviously, Moyes formed a four-five formation and suppressed Liverpool's midfield with five midfielders. This is obviously not aimless, but he is full of ambition to win the rivals in the same city at home."

"Today, the Everton supporters at Gooderson Park were full of passion."

…………

…………

Yang Yang did not stand in the center circle waiting for the serve.

He stood on the left side outside the middle circle, silently waiting for the whistle to start the game.

This is the game strategy formulated by Benitez before the game.

He hopes that Liverpool can rely on their own strength to win their opponents from the very beginning.

He closed his eyes, but his ears were particularly sharp. He heard the roar of mountains and tsunamis from the stands.

The sound of the fans of the visiting team seemed to be sweeping the entire stadium, and he felt like a lonely boat in the vast ocean.

But I don't know when it started, not only is he no longer afraid of this kind of momentum, but he also enjoys it.

It seems that Ibrahimovic, the best friend who switched to Inter Milan before the transfer door was closed, said that under the watchful eyes of the rival fans, breaking their goal is definitely a great joy in life.

The referee is England's most famous Graham Ball. He said in the player channel before the game that he does not want to see big moves, otherwise he will not show mercy.

This is a derby match. If the two sides smell like gunpowder, no one can suppress it.

"The game is about to start, come on!" Captain Gerrard shouted, applauding vigorously.

Yang Yang opened his eyes and stared straight ahead.

Following the referee Boll's order, Peter Crouch immediately kicked the ball to Dirk Dirk, who then kicked it back to midfield.

Yang Yang simply ignored where the ball was going, and rushed forward quickly.

This is the task assigned to him by the head coach, to suppress Everton's midfield with the trident in the frontcourt.

Sure enough, as soon as he rushed, Everton's defense immediately retreated.

Liverpool's midfielder passed the ball to the left, Aurelio quickly pressed across the center line, got the ball and continued to move forward.

Seeing that they were about to enter the 30-meter area, Everton's midfielder immediately stepped forward to encircle and suppress.

Yang Yang, who was originally at the front, suddenly ran back diagonally towards the middle at this moment.

Everton originally blocked Aurelio's straight forward pass line, the purpose was to cut off the connection between the Brazilian left back and Yang Yang, but as Yang Yang ran back and ran behind the defender, Aurelio saw a pass line again.

The ball passed between the three defenders of Everton and came to Yang Yang's feet.

Everton's defensive players also reacted extremely quickly, turning around and chasing back quickly.

Yang Yang stopped facing the ball in the gap, turned around and dribbled the ball forward quickly.

……

"A front attack from Liverpool."

"Yang Yang received the ball on the left side of the center and dribbled the ball forward with a very fast speed."

"Everton defenders chasing back all the way..."

……

Peter Crouch and Dirk Drivet brought Everton's defense near the penalty area line, and Yang Yang dribbled the ball forward and backward, combined with God's vision, and looked up again, he noticed that there was a chance.

As Van Basten told him before, sometimes a sudden long shot is not just for scoring a goal, but also to deter the opponent and even disrupt the opponent's game rhythm.

But now, Yang Yang saw an opportunity.

Just between the opposing central defender Yabo and Lescott.

Without hesitation, Yang Yang deliberately stepped a little longer, and speeded up to catch up.

The experienced midfielder Phil Neville realized that something was wrong, and this was obviously an accelerated run-up!
"Be careful with long-range shots!" Phil Neville shook off Crouch and quickly rushed towards Yang Yang.

The reaction speed of the former Manchester United player is not fast enough, but Yang Yang's shot was also based on the situation on the field, a temporary decision on a whim, let alone Phil Neville and Everton players, even the Liverpool players themselves were taken aback.

Is this the opening shot?

But Yang Yang was one step faster than Phil Neville. After catching up with the ball, he stood still with his left foot, swung his right foot, tilted his whole body at an angle, bent into a bow, swung his right foot, and volleyed vigorously.

The ball was like a sharp arrow shot out, piercing Everton's defense!
……

"Yang Yang suddenly hit the door directly!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"My God! It's only been ten seconds since the opening!"

"Yang Yang! Ten seconds into the game, Yang Yang shot through Everton's goal with a long shot of about 25 meters!"

"Upper left corner, this is an out-and-out dead corner!"

"Although Howard reacted and flew to save him, he was still a step behind!"

"Yang Yang opened the scoring for Liverpool!"

……

At the moment of shooting, Yang Yang was extremely calm, his mind went blank, but he was very clear.

He clearly felt that the shot had been made!
Unless Howard can make a magical save, otherwise this shot must have!

And sure enough, it almost went straight into the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!
Yang Yang quickly turned around and rushed out of the court, spreading his arms all the way, like a glider, flying over Goodson Park.

The Everton fans were obviously shocked, and they were stunned for a few seconds, and then there was a burst of boos.

But these few seconds of dead silence are the greatest recognition and praise for Yang Yang's shot!
Yang Yang was so excited that he slid and knelt under the corner of the stand where the Liverpool fans were, kissed the colored rope on his left wrist vigorously, and opened his arms towards the fans with a big laugh, as if to hug them.

The Liverpool fans at the scene also burst into cheers, especially among the boos.

…………

…………

"yeah!"

Benitez was so excited that he jumped up from the ground.

This shot came very suddenly, but it was very vigorous and powerful!

"This is definitely a long-range shot that can greatly boost the morale of the team!" Paco Yesterdan laughed.

"I knew that he must be in a good state recently, because he belongs to the kind of player who is more likely to lose his state the more he is restrained." Benitez shouted excitedly, "This shot is too critical!"

Only the Liverpool coaching staff, or people inside the team know that Liverpool is in a very bad state today.

why?

On the one hand, it is because of the national team competition, but on the other hand, it is because of the schedule.

There is no problem playing Everton away, but it is scheduled at 45:[-] noon, and this is the biggest problem.

The international footballers came back in a hurry and quickly entered the game. It was still at noon, and it was not easy at all to show up.

But the terrible thing is that Liverpool has more than a dozen games this season at noon, which is much more than the noon games of the other three strong teams in the Premier League. For this reason, Benitez also attacked the FA before the season, thinking that their schedule is not good for Liverpool.

But now, Yang Yang's shot seems to give Liverpool a reassurance.

"The third goal!" Benitez muttered silently, "He said he would score 25 goals this season. I think this challenge is still very big, but I believe he can do it."

Yesterdan kept nodding, pointing at Yang Yang, who hugged his teammates on the sidelines and celebrating his goal, and laughed.

"You can tell by looking at his recent state. I have no doubts about his ability. The only thing that worries me is that it is his first time in the Premier League. The winter break will be a problem."

Benitez nodded, this is not only a challenge for Yang Yang, but also a challenge for all coaches and teams.

The Premier League's winter break is notoriously terrifying. Those who haven't experienced it simply don't understand how terrible consumption and torture it is to play four games in a row in just ten days before and after Christmas.

There are even many players and teams who can't bear it at all, and just fell into a slump.

This is what Ferguson said, the Premier League's journey to the championship begins with the Christmas devil's schedule!
But in any case, seeing Yang Yang, who has such an excellent scoring momentum, Benitez is more confident.
