Chapter 689 Playing the smashed version of God's hand
Between the No.13 and No.14 rounds of the Premier League, FIFA arranged a World Cup qualifier. The international players from all continents had to rush back to participate in the competition, and the clubs could not refuse.

The Chinese team is going to play away in Bahrain, which is also a more important match in the top ten match, so it also transfers overseas international players.

Since [-], FIFA has adjusted the system of the World Cup qualifiers. Basically, it is a mode of playing when recruited and leaving after playing. There was no time for training before. This will have a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the national team, but it can greatly reduce the consumption and pressure of the cross-state international team.

For example, Yang Yang and other Chinese overseas players can fly directly from Europe to the Middle East, gather with the team, play Bahrain, and then fly directly from the Middle East to Europe to return to play for their respective teams.

For Bahrain, Yang Yang and the international football team are no strangers. They have played several games with this team in the past few years, but this time the international football team traveled a long distance to come to the away game and consumed a lot of energy, so the game was still relatively difficult.

But in the end, Yang Yang scored a goal and helped the Chinese team beat Bahrain [-]-[-] away.

When Yang Yang returned to Europe from the Middle East, he immediately ushered in the No. 14 round of the Premier League.

…………

…………

Affected by the national team's game in the middle of the week, all the strong teams played very badly in this round.

Chelsea drew [-]-[-] at home with Newcastle.

Manchester United drew [-]-[-] away at Aston Villa.

Arsenal lost [-]-[-] to Manchester City.

The three strong teams all encountered setbacks in the same round, either tied or lost, and all lost points.

Among them, Arsenal's disastrous away defeat to Manchester City was the most shocking. No one thought that the Gunners would lose so miserably. It can be seen that Wenger's team has really had serious problems.

It is also surprising that Manchester United failed to win Aston Villa, because the Red Devils had a pretty good record against Aston Villa before. Unexpectedly, they failed to win this time, and the game was very dull.

In contrast, Liverpool's situation is much better than the other three strong teams.

It is also affected by the national team's competition, and the players are also running back and forth, but Liverpool has more European players, and the injury situation has been controlled very well this season.

For example, in the game against Fulham, Benitez excluded Mascherano, who had returned to South America to participate in the national team game, from the squad, and Yang Yang, Gerrard, and Harvey Alonso, who played the whole game, were also refrigerated and put on the bench.

The other top three not only have to play the No.14 round of the Premier League on the weekend, but also play the Champions League in the middle of the week, but Liverpool is much more relaxed, because after four consecutive victories in the Champions League, the team has already qualified ahead of schedule, there is almost no pressure, and even Liverpool has no problem giving up.

In this case, Liverpool can focus on the league and put the best players in form and fitness into the game against Fulham.

But even so, Liverpool still encountered Fulham's tenacious sniper in the game.

The team took full advantage throughout the game, and even took advantage of the home court. In the first 10 minutes, Fulham couldn't even take a shot, but there was still no way to break through Fulham's goal.

In the 705th minute of the second half, Yang Yang came on as a substitute. Eight minutes later, after cooperating with Aurelio on the left, Aurelio sent a kick behind him.

One to zero!

In the end, Liverpool beat Fulham [-]-[-] with Yang Yang's goal.

……

The score is not big, but the significance is extremely obvious.

With both Chelsea and Manchester United in draws and Arsenal's disastrous away defeat, Liverpool was able to stand out, beat their opponents in the difficult situation, and scored three points, which was enough for the Red Army to widen the points gap again.

Due to the previous loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool's lead was once narrowed, but after this expansion, Liverpool led No.2 Chelsea by as much as six points, and 3 points more than No.[-] Manchester United.

As for Arsenal, they have only scored 23 points so far, which is as many as [-] points behind Liverpool.

In an interview with the media after the game, head coach Arsene Wenger publicly stated that the Gunners have withdrawn from the title race and the goal is to keep the top four. He believes that Liverpool is the team with the greatest hope of winning the title, but they must be careful of Ferguson's Manchester United.

"Manchester United is best at the winter break and the second half of the season. Liverpool must overcome their stubborn illnesses of the past few seasons."

Wenger also highlighted Yang Yang, believing that Yang Yang's ability to overcome the challenges of the Premier League's winter break is crucial to Liverpool's ability to win the championship, and more importantly...

"If he wants to conquer the Premier League, he will have to perform better over Christmas and the winter break."

……

When Yang Yang was interviewed by the media, he also very much agreed with Wenger's statement.

"There is no doubt that Christmas in the Premier League is the most challenging schedule. In the past two years, I have not been able to perform well in this period of time, but I feel that this year I am ready."

Benitez also expressed his trust in Yang Yang, and even revealed that in order to better prepare for the Christmas schedule, Yang Yang not only changed his training during summer preparations, but also kept adjusting his training programs during the season.

"He is the most professional player I have ever played with. I never need to worry about whether he will try his best and whether he is self-disciplined, because he is always full of hunger and desire to win. I have full confidence in him."

…………

…………

After playing Fulham, we ushered in the Champions League in the middle of the week.

Liverpool played against Marseille at home, and Benitez made adjustments to the team, and finally relied on Xavi Alonso's assisted Gerrard's goal in the No. 203 minute to win the Ligue [-] team [-]-[-].

With five consecutive victories in the group stage, Liverpool is still quite dominant in the Champions League.

……

On the weekend, the No.15 round of the Premier League.

It's another tough game.

Manchester United just had a [-]-[-] away game against Villarreal in the middle of the week. The two teams fought for the first place in the group, but the Red Devils still failed to win Pellegrini's team.

The two teams currently have the same points, but Manchester United leads by goal difference, but this is indeed quite unsafe for the Red Devils. Once ranked second in the group, it will be extremely detrimental to Manchester United's Champions League trend.

And failed to score in two consecutive games, Manchester United's offensive ability has also been questioned, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's state has become very unstable.

He can score twice in two consecutive games, but when the team needs him, he can not score consecutively. This is very bad, so after returning to the Premier League, No.

On the one hand, Yang Yang's momentum since the start of the season is overwhelming, and on the other hand, his own state is not good, especially in this Manchester derby, Manchester United has an overwhelming advantage and completely suppressed Manchester City.

In the No.40 second minute of the first half, Carrick shot a long shot. After being saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart, Rooney made a missed shot from close range and broke the deadlock on the field.

After changing sides in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo became more and more impatient. In less than 10 minutes, he first fouled Wright Phillips and got a yellow card. Then he fouled Wright Phillips with a handball. Two yellows turned one red, and he was sent off with a red card. As a result, Manchester United lost one player in the next half hour.

In the end, Manchester United narrowly beat Manchester City [-]-[-] away.

But after the game, Ronaldinho’s red card caused huge controversy. Most of the British media believed that the Portuguese was still very immature, whether it was emotional control or concentration during the game. It is not reassuring. It is undoubtedly very difficult to compete with Yang Yang for the European Ballon d’Or and World Footballer of the Year.

Many British tabloids have even ridiculed it, thinking that this is a smashed version of the Hand of God.

……

In the highlight of this round, Chelsea ushered in another strong dialogue, but lost at home again, losing to the Gunners Arsenal [-]-[-]. This is Chelsea's three consecutive home losses to the Premier League semi-finals.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong has almost become the label of Scolari's team.

The Blues were able to beat the underdogs completely, but suffered disastrous defeats in all three strong-strong dialogues, which is absolutely fatal.

Liverpool played against West Ham United at home in this round. Only 6 minutes into the game, Yang Yang made a cross from the left and West Ham defender Ilunga fouled with a handball, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick on the grounds that Ilunga used his hands to protect his face.

After Liverpool protested slightly, they also accepted the referee's explanation.

Only 3 minutes later, it was Yang Yang who made a strong breakthrough from the left and then made a pass, which turned out to be another close-range handball by Ilunga. This time the referee was aware of the problem and directly awarded a yellow card and a penalty kick.

Yang Yang took the initiative to give in. He didn't like penalty kicks. Gerrard calmly scored a goal for Liverpool overnight.

It was also the only goal in the game.

In the end, Liverpool beat West Ham United [-]-[-] and scored three points again.

……

After fifteen rounds, Liverpool topped the Premier League standings with 42 points.

Chelsea lost this round, still 33 points, a full nine points behind Liverpool.

Although it is temporarily ranked second, in fact, everyone feels that the possibility of Chelsea winning the championship is very small, because after entering December, Manchester United will usher in a traditional advantage period. The Red Devils start to exert their strength every year from December.

Moreover, with Chelsea having such a bad strong dialogue this season, the possibility of winning the championship is very slim.

Manchester United won Manchester City and ranked third with 31 points, while the Gunners ranked fourth with 26 points.

……

After the No.15 round of the Premier League, the quarter-finals of the League Cup will usher in the knockout round in the middle of the week.

But just before the game, on the first day of December, a flight from Paris, France landed slowly at Manchester Airport.

The new editor-in-chief of the French Football Magazine, Denis Chaumier, and the queen photographer, appeared in Manchester in a hurry.
