Vol 4 Chapter 671: I'll fight!

In the middle of the week, Liverpool ushered in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group d group, challenging the Ligue 1 Marseille away.
After sending away the most eye-catching midfielder, Nasri, last season, Marseille ’s overall strength has not declined, but has improved slightly, because they soon introduced the talented midfielder Ben Alfa from Lyon, while also The introduction of the Ivorian winger Kone, these two players spent a total of 20 million euros in transfer fees in Marseille.
With the improvement of strength, ambition will naturally be more sufficient.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, Marseille lost to Liverpool 4-0 in the final round of the group stage. They were eventually forced to play the UEFA Cup, which made Marseille feel very depressed.
This season's comeback has strengthened its strength, and the Ligue 1 powerhouse naturally wants to make a difference at home.
Especially considering that apart from Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Eindhoven have the strength and qualification to break into the top 16, which makes the Ligue 1 team more conscious of the crisis and must die every game, especially Home court.
...
Unlike the strong Marseilles, Liverpool have consumed too much in recent times.
The internationals are all traveling long distances to return to King Guoqin, and when they come back, they die non-stop and Manchester United are exhausted.
So Benitez made a proper rotation in this game.
On the back line, with Carragher's comeback, Daniel Ager took the bench again, Carragher and Scortel partnered as central defenders, Aveloa and Orelio served as two wingers.
In the midfield, Mascherano and Lucas Rewa were eliminated. Xavi Alonso and Gareth Barry were put back on the bench at the same time, and Gerrard hit the midfield.
The trident in the front court is still a combination of Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt.
Although Crouch, Gerrard and Carragher and others quickly returned, but Benitez still dare not arrange Yang Yang to take a rest. After all, this is the first round of the Champions League game, or the away game, the team's attack power is crucial.
Without Yang Yang's heavy weapon, Liverpool playing Marseille away is really reassuring.
The trend of the game also confirmed this.
...
After the opening, Liverpool quickly took advantage of the midfield to control the situation on the court and launched offensives.
Yang Yang did not invest too much, this is the arrangement that Benitez gave him before the game, because the team needs him to maintain a stable play for a long time, rather than using him to death, so his pressure in the frontcourt is far less oppressive. Crouch, Kuyt and Gerrard are as positive, but everyone on the team is very convinced.
With Yang Yang and without Yang Yang, Liverpool faced two very different game environments.
As if playing Marseille, Yang Yang stood there, even if he just walked slowly, so that the defensive players of Marseille were facing the enemy, for fear that he would not know when to rush.
This is a deterrent to opponents.
If Yang Yang is to make every effort to fight and fight, then he must take a rest day.
Therefore, the Liverpool locker room also agrees with this. Even Gerald and Kuyt and others have told Yang Yang to let him run less, they will run for him and keep their strength to participate in the attack.
Although Yang Yang did not perform particularly hard, but still in the fifteenth minute, after retreating to the midfield and receiving the ball, he turned to the right and passed behind. Kuyt quickly inserted and grabbed the ball before the other defender Zubaer. Medium, but Crouch hit the ball high.
This is the most threatening offensive since Liverpool's opening. It is also a reminder of Marseille. Don't look at Yang Yang as if he is stroking soy sauce, but if you are not careful, give him a chance and you will be killed in minutes!
However, Yang Yang is not the kind to ignore the overall situation.
Liverpool's attack after the opening round did not work, but it was counterattacked by the opponent.
Ben Alfa went straight in the middle, and Xie Lu assisted Kana to score a goal, opening the record for Marseille.
This goal greatly boosted the morale of Marseille, and caused a blow to Liverpool, because after more than 20 minutes of attack, not only did it not attack, but instead attacked the opponent successfully, this should not be the case.
But after only two minutes, Yang Yang successfully helped Liverpool equalize the score.
After Carragher steals the ball in the backcourt, he makes a long pass directly to the left side of the frontcourt. Yang Yang quickly catches up and connects the two defenders Hilton and Zubair after the ball. When he broke into the penalty area and started to kick, he was caught The goalkeeper Mandanda fell to the ground and the referee made a penalty without hesitation.
Yang Yang smiled and gave the penalty opportunity to Gerrard, the Liverpool captain calmly took the penalty, one to one!
After only four minutes, Yang Yang took the initiative to retreat. After the ball was successfully intercepted, a person turned the ball forward and suddenly passed to the right. Kuyt got the ball and knocked back to the middle. Gerrard followed. Stretching out of his legs, he hit a long shot from 25 meters away, once again pierced the goal of Marseille, two to one!
After the reversal, Liverpool were extremely excited up and down, especially the second-time hero Gerrard, who was the first to run to Yang Yang to celebrate his goal with him.
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Marseille once played an offensive attack, especially the side attack began to increase, but mainly concentrated on the left, the right is more defense Yang Yang.
But in the fifty-eighth minute, Liverpool mobilized a counterattack. Crowe made a wonderful pass to the right. Kuyt led the ball and drove straight into the end. Yang Yang ran easily and ran calmly and hit the shot, three to one. !
Subsequently, Benitez quickly replaced Yang Yang with Gareth Bell, and the three-to-one score was also maintained until the end of midfield.
...
In the post-match press conference, Benitez stated that his pre-match idea was to let players such as Yang Yang and Gerrard play for only 60 minutes, and then the remaining players defend the victory.
"I am very happy to see the final score. We achieved the goal set before the game and everyone contributed."
Marseille head coach Gretz said depressingly that Liverpool can win because they have two world-class stars.
"Yang Yang and Gerrard are world-class stars, especially Yang Yang. He made us unable to focus on our offense. He did n’t touch the ball much, but every time he created a threat, especially like that penalty, we are really I ca n’t imagine how he could stop him in addition to the foul. He changed the entire course of the game.

But in the end, the best match in the game was Gerald who scored twice, because the Liverpool captain was obviously more hard-working.
UEFA scored in the opinion that Yang Yang only played seriously in this game for less than ten minutes, but the result created two Liverpool goals, and the second half of the goal is more like a coincidence when strolling casually.
…………
…………
On the weekend, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Liverpool took home the newly promoted Stoke City.
This is a strong and weak matchup, and everyone has no doubt that Liverpool can win at home.
After the start of the game, Liverpool did, as expected by the outside world, play a wave of offensive from the beginning.
After the Champions League game in the middle of the week, Liverpool once again eliminated the rotation.
The back line allowed Glen Johnson on the right, Gareth Bale on the left, Carragher and Scoutel in the centre, and Javi Alonso and Gareth in the midfield. Barry partnered with a pair of lower backs and Gerrard pushed forward.
The trident in the frontcourt is a combination of Yang Yang, Crouch and Benayn.
The game only started two minutes. After Beyond had a tactical cooperation with Glen Johnson on the right, Glen Johnson was fouled by the opponent's defensive player when he took the ball, giving Liverpool a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
This ball is far away from the goal, a full 36 meters, to the right, everyone basically concluded that this is an indirect free kick, because at such a long distance, the possibility of directly hitting the goal is really unlikely.
But while Benayong and Gerrard were discussing how to cooperate, Yang Yang suddenly ran from the left.
"I'll fight!" Yang Yang said eagerly.
"Straight?" Both Gerald and Benayn suspected they had heard it wrong.
This is a full 36 meters, and it is on the right side, not easy to play.
But Yang Yang did not say much. Standing at the penalty spot, he glanced at the goal more than 30 meters away, and then looked at the goalkeeper of the Stoke City team. Thirty-two-year-old Danish veteran Thomas Sorensen, one tall Mi Niu Liu.
"I try it." Yang Yang smiled.
Gerrard and Bernard would of course not have any opinions. The Liverpool captain even joked on Yang Yang's shoulder. "Remember, this goal will not be scored. You have to make up three if you look back."
Yang Yang did not care, but looked up at the sky, walked over again, picked up the ball, wiped it carefully, and then put it back on the grass gently, stepped on the turf behind the ball, and silently Count your steps back.
At this time, all the fans in the audience also noticed Yang Yang's move, and everyone cheered.
"God, is Yang Yang going to hit the door directly?"
"This difficulty is too high. We just calculated it. This position is 36 meters from the goal. The difficulty of directly hitting the goal is not ordinary. And his move has obviously been given to Stoke City players. signal."
"Thomas Sorensen is definitely ready. In this case, playing this kind of direct free kick at a long distance is really very difficult. This is definitely a challenge."
But the Liverpool players didn't seem to feel much. Crouch even shouted towards Yang Yang, "Hey, Yang, if you can't do it, just upload it. I'll wait for you!"
Yang Yang waved at him as if to say, don't quarrel me!
After practicing for more than a year [Juniño Jr. ’s free kick], Yang Yang ’s free kick strength has indeed made considerable progress. He has already scored a lot of free kicks, but there are few long-range free kicks and nothing. opportunity.
Playing Stoke City today, Liverpool are very sure, so Yang Yang wants to give it a try, just as a wayward, try a foot, and stimulate yourself by the way.
Even if the simulation of the super training ground is more realistic, the simulation can still be simulated. It is always not as exciting as the live game, and it is more stressful. These are the best stimulation and the biggest motivation for Yang Yang.
