Chapter 666 Let's play some surprises!
Liverpool started with a three-game winning streak!
This quickly detonated public opinion in the British domestic media, because Chelsea drew Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] at home.

In other words, after the third round of the league, Liverpool topped the standings with a two-point lead.

Yang Yang, who just won UEFA's best striker of the season in Monaco, scored the lore goal in this round of the game, helping Liverpool beat Aston Villa away, which won a lot of applause after the game.

The Times believes that Yang Yang's performance is the key to Liverpool's victory.

"Villa Park has always been a nightmare for all Premier League teams. Last season, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all played very dangerously here. Chelsea even lost [-]-[-]. Mourinho dismissed get out of class not long after that."

"This season, Martin O'Neill's team still performed very vigorously. In the first round, they defeated the soaring Manchester City [-]-[-] at home, which shows the combat effectiveness of Aston Villa at home."

"Liverpool suffered a terrible blow before this game. Captain Gerrard was absent due to injury and was unable to participate in this game. This caused Benitez to make adjustments in his formation. The Spaniard chose Gareth Barry instead of Benayoun, who has a stronger offensive ability. This is obviously because he knows the horror of Villa Park."

"Some people even think that Martin O'Neill's team is fully capable of breaking into European competitions."

"In this game, O'Neill was also full of fear of Yang Yang, who had just won UEFA's best striker of the season, and focused on man-marking him. This really froze Yang Yang in the first half, but during the intermission, Yang Yang took the initiative to propose, hoping to adjust his role and position on the pitch."

"As a result, after the second half, Yang Yang completely ushered in an explosion through a wide range of running. He used three consecutive corner kicks to create a threat at the beginning, and scored the only goal in the game not long after that."

The Times believes that Liverpool's state this season is very similar to that of last season. They played in form from the beginning, invested in grabbing points, and won consecutive victories, establishing an advantage from the beginning.

But the problem with this style of play is persistence.

"Last season, after the start of the season, Liverpool performed rather sluggishly. It was all supported by Yang Yang. This caused Yang Yang's overall physical and mental state to decline significantly after entering December, and then he was very sluggish in January and February."

"For this problem, Benitez said in an interview with the media that the team has found an effective solution to the problem, because the thickness of the team's bench this season is obviously stronger than last season."

"According to what the reporter has learned, under the training of his personal trainer Winston Bogard, Yang Yang has not been as active this season as he was last season. His state seems to be more stable, but he has maintained a high level. The purpose is to hope that he can continue his state for a long time and maintain stability."

Finally, The Times believes that as long as Liverpool can continue the current state and Yang Yang can maintain the current performance, Liverpool will still be the most competitive team in the Premier League this season.

While the major media in the UK are discussing Liverpool's first three consecutive victories, the Premier League has been suspended and the national team's match day has ushered in for two weeks. This time, Yang Yang and other Chinese players who have studied abroad have also returned to Guoqinwang.

Because in this September, the top ten Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa will officially start.

After the lottery, the Chinese team was assigned to Group A this time, in the same group as Japan, Bahrain, Australia and Uzbekistan. In the national team match day in September, the Chinese team had only one game, which was an away game against Uzbekistan.

The Chinese team is no stranger to this opponent, and Alihan also attaches great importance to it, so this time, after returning to Beijing from Europe, the overseas international players immediately went to the national team for training.

It is worth mentioning that the young goalkeeper Wang Dalei who is currently playing for Alkmaar has also entered the national team squad for the first time.

Wang Dalei was recommended by Yang Yang to go to Alkmaar, because Yang Yang believed that Frans Hoke is the best goalkeeper coach in European football, especially good at training goalkeepers like Wang Dalei, because Wang Dalei's height is only 1.8 meters five.

After joining Alkmaar, Wang Dalei came into contact with the most advanced goalkeeper training system and philosophy in Europe under the guidance of Frans Hoke. On the one hand, the club and the coaching staff attach great importance to him. On the other hand, his own talent is also quite outstanding, so he has made rapid progress.

Last season, he played ten times for AZ Alkmaar in various competitions. For him, Van Gaal did not even sign up for the goalkeeper position. This season, Wang Dalei, who is only 19 years old, was directly promoted to the main position.

So far, Chinese players have been able to play the main force in the Eredivisie. Alkmaar is Gao Lin and Wang Dalei, and Feyenoord is Feng Xiaoting. They are all outstanding domestic players.

Wang Dalei is also a player with a big heart. After playing the main force, his performance is not very stable, but he often has quite amazing performances, which makes Van Gaal love and hate him. Fortunately, Alkmaar played well this season.

At present, the Chinese national team is short of goalkeepers, so Alihan recruited Wang Dalei into the national team.

……

After a week of training in Beijing, anecdotes about studying abroad have become a hot topic among the national team players.

From the national team to the Olympic team to the national youth team, the atmosphere of studying abroad is getting stronger and stronger. Domestic players with potential and talent are eager to go to European leagues. Whether it is the Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League, Liga, or even Austria, Switzerland and other worse leagues, you can see the current Chinese players.

Then the national team went to the Middle East to challenge Uzbekistan away.

After 10 minutes of hard work, the Chinese team defeated their opponent [-]-[-] in an away game. Yang Yang assisted Chen Tao to score a goal.

But just when the Chinese team narrowly defeated a strong enemy in an away game, the international players were disbanded on the spot, and Yang Yang returned to England immediately. When he met Su Ye in London, he received a piece of news that was not good for Liverpool.

In the western suburbs of Manchester, Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Ferguson sat in the head coach's office all afternoon.

He first sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while, then walked to the window, looked at the deserted training ground in a daze, and finally sat back on the sofa opposite the TV.

At this time, a piece of news was broadcast on TV that Liverpool's central defender Carragher was injured in the first training session when he returned to the team. This is the second Liverpool player to be injured in the past two days.

The previous one was Peter Crouch.

England Gao Guyo represented England in the World Cup qualifiers in the European region. He played an away game against Croatia. He performed very well and fully played the role of his tactical center. He helped the team beat Croatia four to one, but he was injured in the No.805 minute.

When he heard the news, Ferguson laughed rather gloatingly.

He felt that Liverpool should be very distressed by this, because Capello's team started Crouch for two consecutive games, but unexpectedly, Crouch was injured at the last moment of the second game.

Benitez must be furious now, needless to say.

But this is the disaster that the national team competition brings, Liverpool is not the first, and it will not be the last.

Unexpectedly, just as Crouch was injured, Carragher was injured again.

At the age of 30, injuries began to increase.

Coupled with Gerrard who was injured before, now Liverpool is an important member of the front, middle and back three lines, all of which have suffered injuries.

No need to guess, this will hit Liverpool very hard, but for Manchester United, it is a rare opportunity.

How to do?
This problem was placed in front of Ferguson, and he was troubled by it all afternoon.

……

Sitting on the sofa, Ferguson looked at the closed office door countless times. He longed for his assistant coaches Mike Phelan and René Meulensteen to knock on the door and tell him, "Boss, good news. Those bastards in Liverpool are injured. I think we should immediately..."

But every time, he was disappointed.

There is no doubt that this is something that Carlos Queiroz would do. Mike Phelan and René Meulensteen did not dare to do this at all. They were too honest and always felt that Ferguson should be doing something in the office and should not be disturbed.

As everyone knows, Ferguson sat in the office all afternoon, waiting for them to come to the door.

Ferguson wanted to get rid of Liverpool very much, because he knew very well that he could no longer let Liverpool continue to win like this. Benitez's team has always been stable, and the fourth round is a rare opportunity.

Yang Yang traveled long distances back to Asia to play games, and he must be very tired physically. Gerrard has just recovered from injury to participate in training, but he probably won't be able to play in the game. Now Carragher and Crouch are injured again, which is a big blow to Liverpool.

If Manchester United makes a big effort at this time to grab Liverpool from the leading position and interrupt the Red Army's winning streak, not only Manchester United's own morale will skyrocket, but even Liverpool will be hit hard.

Otherwise, if they continue to win like this, who can stop them?

Ferguson can still vividly remember Liverpool's winning streak last season.

But opportunities also represent risks, because this is Anfield, everything is hard to say.

This is where Ferguson struggled, but after Carlos Queiroz left the team in the summer to coach the Portuguese national team, he could no longer find anyone to talk to.

The biggest role of Mullenstein is to train players, and the biggest advantage of Mike Phelan is that he can be Ferguson's spokesperson and accept interviews from the media he does not want to accept.

Only Queiroz, he can really sit down with Ferguson, study and discuss how to kill those damned opponents.

Suddenly, Ferguson felt a sense of loneliness and a sense of loss in his heart.

But soon, he took another deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and walked out the door.

Mike Phelan and René Meulensteen came out of the adjoining office as soon as they heard the door open.

"Hey, boss."

"Get ready, we're going to have some surprises this weekend!"
