Chapter 480 Double Red Club

On the evening of September 27th, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool hosts Galatasaray in the second round of the UEFA Champions League Group C group stage.

Driven was rotated, and Pennant was arranged to start on the right.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Pennant created a cross from the right. Crouch faced the Turkish defender and had a commanding height advantage in the penalty area, and the header went wide.

After 3 minutes, Yang Yang passed the ball, and Gerrard took a long shot from the outside of the penalty area and missed it again.

Then Liverpool launched a fierce offensive against Galatasaray and scored the first goal in the 9th minute.

Gerrard sent the ball to the left, Aurelio made a straight pass, Yang Yang made a pass from the left, and Crouch easily shot with his right foot in front of the goal, scoring his first goal in the Champions League this season.

After receiving assists from Yang Yang for two consecutive games, Crouch was obviously very satisfied with his striker partner. When celebrating the goal, he ran to Yang Yang and dragged him all the way to the sidelines.

Only 1 minute later, Yang Yang created another chance to create a shooting space for Aurelio, but the Brazilian left back's kick was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper and failed to form a goal.

No. In the 14th minute, Liverpool actively launched a frontcourt press. After Pennant stole the ball, he broke into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area.

Yang Yang has been paying attention to the movements of his teammates around him. As soon as he saw Pennant rushing into the penalty area with the ball, he realized that there would be a chance in the latter point, because Galatasaray's defensive attention fell on Crouch in the center and Pennant on the right.

He believed Pennant could see it.

Sure enough, when Crouch was frozen, Pennant chose to pick the pass and point.

Yang Yang quickly plugged in, pointing behind unmarked, and headed the ball from close range.

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"Header!"

"Yang Yang scored a close-range header in the No. 14 minute!"

"It was a very clever move. Pennant also knew how to pick the pass, and Yang Yang directly hit the goal with a header from close range, which once again pierced through Galatasaray's goal!"

"This should be Yang Yang's second header in his career!"

After Yang Yang hit the goal with the header, he was extremely excited!

The whole Anfield stadium is cheering for him!

This is also Yang Yang's first goal in this Champions League!
……

After leading by two goals, Liverpool went on the offensive against Galatasaray.

At the beginning of the second half, Pennant once again stole the ball from the right, and Finnan made a pass. Crouch made a beautiful upside-down golden hook near the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area and sent the ball into Galatasaray's goal.

A brace!

The England center was extremely excited, and excitedly pulled his teammates to dance a mechanical dance on the sidelines, which won warm applause and cheers from all the fans at Anfield.

On the other hand, Galatasaray was in the No. 605 minute, and Turan assisted his teammate to score a goal and pulled back a game.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Galatasaray [-]-[-] at home and achieved two consecutive victories in the group stage.

PSV Eindhoven beat Bordeaux [-]-[-] away in this round.

Three days later, the Premier League ushered in the seventh round.

Liverpool challenged Bolton away.

The Red Army, which has just ascended to the leader of the league standings, is ambitious and wants to win the opponent away and continue to defend its top position.

The game also seemed to be proceeding according to Liverpool's rhythm.

Yang Yang, Crouch and Dirk again started together. Midfielders Gerrard, Harvey Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko also appeared at the same time.

After the opening game, Bolton launched a fierce attack against the guest. The left and right sides played very actively, frequently created opportunities, and were only one step away from scoring.

Bolton played very savagely and made great moves, and the referee's soft whistle in this game also contributed to the style of the home team.

No. In the 204th minute, Bolton defender Faye smashed the back of his head when he was fighting for the top, forcing the Dutchman to go to the sidelines to stop the bleeding, and he did not return to the game until 4 minutes later.

Not only that, the referee sentenced the Liverpool goalkeeper to handball outside the penalty area when Reina kicked off with a big kick.

This is definitely an obvious misjudgment. Everyone in Liverpool protested to the referee. Reina repeatedly stated that he did not leave the penalty area and it should not have been a handball at all. However, the referee still awarded a very threatening free kick.

Bolton calmly grasped the opportunity, the former Real Madrid player Campo crossed, and Speed ​​volleyed from the middle, scoring a goal for Bolton, completely breaking the deadlock on the field.

Subsequently, no matter how Liverpool launched an attack, they were unable to break through Bolton's goal in the end.

In the end, Liverpool returned home with a [-]-[-] away game and lost their first defeat of the season.

And from this game, Yang Yang also felt the barbaric and rough side of the Premier League for the first time.

The game was very intense, and there were many misjudgments by the referee, especially the one that caused the goal to be conceded. After the game, it was recognized by all the media, but the result of the game will not change because of this.

At the same time, Yang Yang also saw the bloodiness of Premier League players.

It's heartening to see Dirk Driven sprinting back to the court with blood on half his jersey and most of the back of his head.

When Liverpool lost to Bolton away, Manchester United defeated Newcastle with Solskjaer's brace. Ferguson's team reversed Liverpool to the top of the Premier League with three points in this round.

Chelsea also performed poorly this round. They were tied 3-[-] by Aston Villa at home. Didier Drogba scored in the opening [-] minutes.

Obviously, under the competitive pressure of Shevchenko, the Ivory Coast Elephant has also shown full motivation this season and ushered in the peak of his career.

Arsenal conceded a goal first, relying on Van Persie's brace to reverse Charlton.

After this round of competition, the traditional top four of the Premier League have gathered in the first group army.

Manchester United lead with [-] points, Liverpool and Arsenal are tied for second and third with [-] points, Bolton is fourth with [-] points, Chelsea, Portsmouth, Everton, Aston Villa and Reading all have [-] points.

After the seventh round of the Premier League, ushered in the two-week national team match day in October.

Because it was the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Football Association still did not recruit foreign nationals this time. Yang Yang continued to stay in the UK to practice hard, but he went to the Netherlands in the middle.

Two weeks later, the eighth round of the Premier League.

In the first game, Manchester United conceded a goal first, Vidic, Saha and Solskjaer scored three goals in a row, successfully reversed Wigan Athletic, and scored a valuable three points away.

Liverpool was once again tortured by the national team game, and the team performed very sluggishly.

Although Yang Yang was very active, the tiger couldn't hold back the pack of wolves.

In the Eredivisie, he can challenge the entire team by himself, but in the Premier League, he does not yet have this strength.

In the No.17 minute of the first half, McCarthy scored a goal for Blackburn.

But in the No.604 minute of the second half, Yang Yang relied on his own efforts to finally get a chance to equalize the score for Liverpool, and then created several chances, but unfortunately his teammates' performance was really sluggish.

In the end, Liverpool drew Blackburn [-]-[-] at home.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have won this round, and Portsmouth and Bolton have also won their opponents, so Liverpool's league ranking has dropped four places in one breath, ranking sixth.

On the contrary, Yang Yang, after scoring one goal, together with Kanu and Andy Johnson, tied for the top scorer list with six goals.

At the same time, the ten goals he agreed with Benitez are getting closer.

…………

…………

Three days later, the third round of Group C of the Champions League.

Liverpool challenged Bordeaux away.

Liverpool, which suffered one draw and one loss in the league and failed to win two consecutive rounds, was also threatened by Bordeaux in the away game. This team, which ranks second in the Ligue [-] standings, played quite actively at home.

At the beginning, a group of players led by Micoud, Malouda, Forber, and Chamark played a dazzling wing attack, and their coordination was very skillful, which made Liverpool a little confused for a while.

However, Benitez still arranged a three-man midfield configuration in this game. Gerrard, Harvey Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko played the three main players. They performed very tenaciously and insisted on keeping the goal.

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool's performance was sluggish and they were likely to suffer an away loss, Yang Yang stepped forward at a critical moment.

When the game progressed to No. 606 minutes, Crouch ferryed the header in the penalty area. Yang Yang quickly stepped forward diagonally, kept the ball, and shot directly with his legs. With a powerful volley, he broke the Bordeaux goal.

Subsequently, even though Bordeaux continued to chase hard, Liverpool always kept the goal.

In the end, relying on Yang Yang's goal, the Red Army beat Bordeaux [-]-[-] in the away game and won the group's three consecutive victories.

It can be said that this victory almost established Liverpool's top spot in the group stage. As long as the team plays steadily in the future, there will be almost no problem in qualifying for the top spot in the group.

In the three group matches, Yang Yang assisted Gerrard to score in the first round and helped Liverpool beat PSV Eindhoven [-]-[-]. He passed and shot again in the second round, and scored a lore goal in the third round.

It can be said that Yang Yang made key contributions in all three group matches, and his performance was unanimously recognized by the European media.

After defeating Bordeaux, Benitez publicly stated that Yang Yang has become a crucial player for the team.

"After returning to the UK, we will be a guest at Old Trafford, away to Manchester United."

"There is no doubt that this will be another test of the difficult schedule for us, and I believe that Yang Yang's performance will affect the outcome of the game."

The double red meeting is the highlight of the Premier League every season.
