Chapter 604 Double Happiness

Liverpool finally lost!
In the first game after Yang Yang won the European Ballon d'Or from Paris, Liverpool lost [-]-[-] away to Reading.

This is definitely an out-and-out upset, and after this upset, the Premier League referee issue has once again become the focus of media attention.

Because in this game, Liverpool was very unlucky and was awarded a penalty kick not long after the opening.

It was Carragher's foul outside the penalty area, which was very obvious, but the referee awarded a penalty.

This caused Liverpool to become extremely passive in the away game. Although Gerrard equalized the score, the referee missed and gave Liverpool a [-]% penalty.

After being hit hard twice in a row, Liverpool finally failed to reverse the away game. The players were impetuous and couldn't attack for a long time in the second half. They were attacked by Reading and scored a goal. In the end, they were upset [-]-[-] in the away game.

This is also Liverpool's first loss of the season!
Two days before the game, Yang Yang was all participating in the celebrations organized by the European Ballon d'Or and Liverpool, and he didn't even have normal training, so Benitez didn't make him into the squad for this game.

This also became the accusation of many media reporters against Benitez after the game.

Liverpool's recent state is indeed quite good. Since the eight-goal victory over Besiktas, the Red Army has won consecutive victories all the way. Not to mention the offensive, the defense has also improved considerably, and the overall state has recovered quite well.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool, who have been unbeaten for fifteen rounds so far this season, unexpectedly lost to Reading in an away game when their form recovered. This is indeed very surprising.

In the words of the media, there is really no trace of the upset.

But everyone believes that if Benitez puts Yang Yang in the squad, even if it is a substitute lineup, Liverpool still have a good chance, because Yang Yang can be said to be the backbone of Liverpool players on the court.

Benitez said after the game that Yang Yang's absence did have a certain impact on Liverpool's offense, but the most important thing was the referee's two misjudgments, which dealt a great blow to Liverpool players.

Liverpool doesn't have many injuries now, and the substitute lineup is good. It can be said that they are strong and strong. The consecutive victories have boosted the morale of the team. But what I didn't expect was that they were suddenly slapped in the head by the referee in the away game, and they were completely stunned.

But Benitez finally admitted, "If Yang Yang was on the court, maybe we would have played more threateningly in the second half."

The Spanish coach said that Yang Yang is the player who played the most time for Liverpool this season. He hadn't trained for two days before, and he was very tired from running back and forth. He really hoped that Yang Yang could have a good rest.

But in any case, in [-] games, Liverpool won [-] wins, one draw and one loss. This record is really amazing.

……

Yang Yang didn't have any objection to Benitez not arranging himself to start, because he was indeed a little tired in those two days.

The main reason is that there are too many celebration activities arranged before and after the award, and many of them must be visited.

For example, the one at Carlsberg, which was the main sponsor.

On the second day after playing in Reading, Su Ye flew from London to Los Angeles, USA, and she was in a hurry to attend an audition.

Yang Yang personally sent her to London.

Subsequently, the team set off to play Marseille away.

This time Yang Yang got the start and assisted Gerrard to score in the opening 4 minutes, and then he scored a goal himself.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Yang Yang assisted Dirk to score in the opening 3 minutes.

In the end, with Yang Yang's two passes and one shot, Liverpool beat Ligue [-] Marseille [-]-[-] away.

Benayoun scored a goal in stoppage time after substitute Yang Yang came on.

And relying on Liverpool's explosion in the last three rounds of the group stage, Yang Yang once again achieved surprising results.

In the six games of the group stage, Yang Yang scored ten goals and contributed seven assists. He immediately caught up with the results of last season and continues to lead the scorer list and assist list.

This also made everyone feel Yang Yang's determination while being amazed.

He just wants to use this kind of strong performance to rush all the way to the end, so that FIFA has to face up to his achievements.

If FIFA still awards Kaka the World Player of the Year despite his outstanding performance, the credibility of this award will definitely be shaken.

……

After the group stage, Liverpool advanced to the top of the list, followed by Porto in No. 2 in the Portuguese Super League, Marseille in Ligue [-] ranked third, and were forced to participate in the UEFA Cup.

After playing Marseille, Liverpool directly chartered a flight from France to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.

On the way for everyone in Liverpool to Japan, the British World Football Magazine also officially announced the best selection of the year.

This is another selection of the year with a long history, second only to the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe Awards. It is less influential than FIFA and French Football Magazine, but it can also be called the third in the world.

The French Football Magazine's European Ballon d'Or is voted by media reporters, FIFA's World Player of the Year is voted by the head coaches and captains of various countries, and the British World Football Player of the Year is voted by fans all over the world.

This year, World Soccer Magazine's poll attracted fans from more than 50 countries around the world to vote.

Yang Yang won the best newcomer with 40.00% vote rate of [-].

The best head coach was given to Ferguson, but Manchester United's coach only got 20.00% of the votes at [-], only a little more than Benitez who won the Champions League, and the advantage is very small.

The best team of the year was given to Iraq. The reason is very simple. Although Iraq lost to China in the Asian Cup final, it is quite admirable that this war-torn national team can perform so well.

Liverpool, who won the Champions League, and Sevilla, who won the UEFA Cup, ranked second and third respectively.

In the selection of the best player of the year, Yang Yang won the honor with an astonishing 60.00% vote rate of [-], surpassing all others, and won this honor without any suspense.

When World Football Magazine published it, it commented on Yang Yang's performance in the past year, describing it as phenomenal.

They believed that Yang Yang was one of the most outstanding players in Europe in the past year, and deserved to be recognized with the highest honor. They also said that the votes of fans from more than 50 countries around the world are the best proof.

Looking at the selection history of the World Football Magazine, in the past so many years, only Platini won more than 50.00% of the votes, but this year, Yang Yang's votes reached an astonishing 60.00% [-], which is absolutely surprising.

Because it is very difficult for a player to be liked by all the fans, but Yang Yang used his wonderful performance to conquer the fans of those opponents, and everyone was convinced.

All British media have also reported on the selection of World Football Magazine. The award ceremony will be held in London after Liverpool returns to the UK. All British media also believe that if Yang Yang wins the World Footballer again, he will complete a grand slam of personal honor and become the player of the year seriously recognized by fans, media and professionals.

And this will undoubtedly be a supreme honor.

…………

…………

After Yang Yang arrived in Tokyo, Japan, he got the news from the phone call of his agent Mino Raiola.

Recently, he has become a little numb to winning prizes.

If it wasn't for Raiola to remind him, he wouldn't even remember that World Football Magazine's annual award was hailed as the third largest award.

But in any case, it is always a good thing to win an award.

The more awards you get, the more likely you are to win the World Footballer of the Year.

After arriving in Tokyo, Liverpool began to prepare non-stop.

Due to the schedule, the Red Army did not have too much time to rest, because the semi-finals of the Club World Cup were imminent.

Liverpool's opponent is Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds.

To Yang Yang's surprise, at the Tokyo airport, a large number of Japanese fans came to greet him, including several Japanese female fans holding up banners with Chinese characters [Welcome Yang Yang to Japan].

On the day of the game, there were still many Japanese fans on the scene, and many Chinese fans came to support.

Liverpool came all the way, the players were tired, and Benitez didn't try his best, but he still easily got 60.00% possession of the ball, but the offensive end failed to create a threat.

Until the second half, after Yang Yang came on as a substitute, Mascherano steals the ball from the midfielder and passes it long.

This score was also maintained until the end. Liverpool easily defeated the Urawa Reds and entered the final.

……

Three days later, Yokohama International Stadium.

In the final of the Club World Cup, Liverpool faced the Argentine giants Boca Juniors.

Whether it is FIFA's request or the opponent Boca Juniors is strong, Liverpool is also doing its best this time.

The Boca Youth team has gathered powerful stars such as Palermo, Palacio, Banega and Cardoso. The overall strength is not bad, but Liverpool is obviously better, and the overall strength basically suppresses the opponent.

Yang Yang started the game this time. In the 5th minute, he had a counterattack.

No. In the 19th minute, Daniel Agger took a long shot from the outside of the penalty area, hit the Boca Juniors defender, and bounced into the penalty area. Yang Yang calmly seized the opportunity and hit the shot, [-]-[-].

Two minutes later, Yang Yang dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the left rib and hit the goal suddenly with a cold arrow. After being saved by the goalkeeper, Yang Yang followed up and wanted to fight again, but suddenly saw Crouch and chose to cross the goal.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Benitez immediately replaced Yang Yang, and Liverpool quickly took advantage of a set-piece opportunity, and Carragher scored a goal, extending the score to [-]-[-].

Although Boca Juniors pulled back a game afterwards, Liverpool still won the opponent four to one in the end.

Yang Yang was elected the best player in the game by virtue of two passes and one shot.

The FIFA Awards Conference is coming soon, and the Club World Cup champion and best player will undoubtedly give Yang Yang more confidence.
