After dealing with Su Ye, Yang Yang began to devote himself to the adjustment plan for the winter break.
Before Winston Bogard left, he worked with Yesterdam and the new fitness coach De Michelle for him, mainly considering that he had just arrived, and he was only twenty years old. Time to adapt to the Premier League schedule.
After playing the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool ushered in two cups non-stop.
These are the third round of the FA Cup and the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
The interesting thing is that the opponents in both games are Arsenal.
Liverpool is a team that is determined to impact the championship. At present, it is only three points away from Manchester United. The Champions League has entered the round of 16, and the team's current situation is also very good. Both the league and the Champions League have certain competitiveness.
In this case, Benitez and the coaching staff had to make a choice.
So, in the next two cup games, Liverpool is a main force failed.
Yang Yang also conducted half-strength physical strengthening reserve training in the past ten days, mainly to accumulate energy for the second half.
After the Christmas Devil schedule, Yang Yang's physical fitness has been a bit overwhelming, and there is a rare opportunity for buffering. Naturally, he has to stop and charge it up to prepare for the next league and the Champions League.
In contrast, Arsenal, the league is basically hopeless, Wenger is out of the semi-main lineup to play.
As a result, in the two cup games, Liverpool all lost, the scores were one to two and one to three, all at home.
Although this result was within the expectations of media reporters and fans, it was still somewhat unacceptable. The League Cup and the FA Cup are both hailed as the cover of the strong team. Liverpool are now eliminated. Did not make a difference, then in the end can only be empty-handed.
But it can also be looked at the other way round. Benitez and the team can focus more on the league and the Champions League.
The outside world's choices for Liverpool are also mixed, but in any case, Liverpool can no longer be affected by the cup in the future, which is crucial for the team's future preparations.
Especially the first round of the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona.
According to the schedule of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 elimination rounds, the first round was held at Camp Nou.
On the eve of the Camp Nou, the Premier League team will usher in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Fans familiar with the Premier League know that the FA Cup has always been scheduled for the weekend, crowding out the league time.
Liverpool are now eliminated from the FA Cup, so after playing the 27th round of the league on February 10 and playing away against Newcastle, they will challenge Barcelona on the 21st and Liverpool have 11 days to prepare time.
This will have a huge physical advantage for Liverpool as a guest at the Camp Nou.
Benitez has even prepared the club. He plans to lead his team to Portugal for short-term training after playing Newcastle to prepare for the Camp Nou.

When Liverpool suffered a two-game losing streak in the Cup, the Premier League official website finally announced the best award in December.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool had five wins and one draw in December. Both teams performed very well, but there was another team that also won five victories, that is Bolton of Alledes.
This team lost to Liverpool in the final game of the Devil's schedule in the winter break, but it was already in January, and it had nothing to do with their December game.
Although Bolton has a slight gap with Manchester United and Liverpool, the five victory of Alledes is obviously more rare, which makes Bolton suppress Arsenal for a long time, ranking fourth in the Premier League.
Therefore, Alledes won the title of the best coach of the Premier League in December.
In the selection of the best player, Jim, a member of the Premier League jury, said publicly that this is indeed a very difficult choice, because Yang Yang is as good as Cristiano Ronaldo.
"This is undoubtedly a happy worry, because these two top players have played very amazing performances and statistics in December, Ronaldinho has seven goals and four assists, Yang Yang has six goals and seven Assists, both of them performed quite eye-catching. "
"Many judges in our group believe that this is the most difficult choice ever in the Premier League."
But Jim also said that no matter how difficult it is to choose the best, so the jury finally awarded Yang Yang the best player in December.
In this regard, many media supporting the Portuguese believe that this is suspected of splitting the award, because Yang Yang had the best in October before, and Cristiano Ronaldo had the best in November. Now in December, Yang Yang .
But Jim quickly accepted an interview with the media and said that there was no such thing.
"The reason why we chose Yang Yang is very important because of his teamwork. Liverpool defeated their opponents 4-0 in four consecutive games and played a crazy offensive storm. Yang Yang has contributed greatly in this."
"Sometimes, the player's performance on the court cannot be measured solely by the data."
"Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in three consecutive games. It was indeed quite good, but if we look at the whole of December, he really is slightly better than Yang Yang, so we chose Yang Yang."
Yang Yang accepted the official Premier League awards in Melwood and gave an interview, saying that he was proud of being able to get the award for the second time, thanking the official Premier League for their affirmation and the support of all fans.
"For me, this is an affirmation, but also a spur, and I will continue to make persistent efforts."
In an interview, Yang Yang also mentioned the desire of Liverpool fans for the league title, saying that he hopes to make all Liverpool fans satisfied after the end of the season.
As for his rivals Cristiano Ronaldo and Drogba, Yang Yang said that these are two great players and an example of their hard work and learning.
Yang Yang won the best player of the month for the second time, Benitez missed the best coach of the month, Liverpool lost one game.
While Yang Yang won the second monthly best player award, outside media also officially announced that the Red Army has reached a transfer with 22-year-old Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano with West Ham United Offense.
Both parties agreed that Mascherano will temporarily transfer to Liverpool on loan.
At the same time, Liverpool also sent an application to FIFA, mainly to hope that FIFA can open up Mascherano's transfer network.
According to FIFA regulations, a professional player can only play for more than two club teams from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. This is to avoid players from being too frequent Continuous transfer.
Mascherano played for Corinthians in Brazil before transferring to West Ham United, and then played for the Hammers after transferring to West Ham United, so in theory, he has Not eligible for Liverpool.
But the reasons given by Liverpool are also very good, saying that after Mascherano transferred to West Ham, he only got a total of seven playing opportunities, including a few times in garbage time, the most recent one was twelve. On the third of the month, he played for six minutes.
The reason for Liverpool ’s complaint is that this player is of great strength. He played all the games in Argentina during the World Cup in Germany and performed very well. Liverpool believes that he has enough strength to strengthen the team ’s midfield, plus his presence in West Ham United is not reused, only two full games are played, so special treatment should be given.
FIFA accepted Liverpool's application, but said it would give a reply within half a month.
If you are full of money, the fastest answer will be at the end of January.
In this regard, Liverpool has no choice but to wait patiently.
Mascherano flew from London to Liverpool immediately after Liverpool's announcement, to participate in Liverpool's medical examination, and then directly followed Liverpool for training.
Yang Yang only met Mascherano in Melwood the morning after he arrived in Liverpool.
He is not small, but gives the feeling of a tiger's head and a brain. His feet move quickly and his running ability is excellent. In addition, his fighting spirit is very vigorous, and his ability to take and shoot the ball is also quite standard. Yang Yang made an impression.
Benitez's vision for selecting people is still very vicious.
As the top player in the team, Yang Yang also joined Gerrard, Carragher and others to congratulate Mascherano on joining Liverpool and chatted with him a few words. It was considered to know each other and greeted each other, but did not Deep friendship.
This is the norm for professional players.
Similar to Yang Yang in Ajax, playing with his teammates and mixing together all day long, it ’s definitely an alternative, because Ajax gathered a group of young players around the age of 20, this group of people of the same age This effect is produced only in one piece.
On the contrary, it is like arriving in Liverpool, from the thirties to the twenties to the teens. It is impossible to get together.
Even if he was like Yang Yang, he joined the club with a high transfer fee of 40 million euros, holding the first salary of the club, not to mention the teenager who was promoted with several youth teams in the team, even if he met in the Toulon Cup. The young French players Ponceler and Letale are difficult to come together.
Of course, Pangele was loaned to La Liga in La Liga not long after Yang Yang joined, while Le Tale was rented to Le Mans in Ligue 1. When the two met Yang Yang, they were somewhat embarrassed.

At noon on January 13, the 23rd round of the Premier League.
Liverpool challenged Watford away.
Benitez once again discharged a four, three, three formation, Aurelio was pushed to the midfield, partnering with Gerrard and Harvey Alonso.
Yang Yang's left winger, but because he has been adjusting his status and carrying out physical reserve recently, he is not active, but as Liverpool's offensive core, he still shows his strength.
In the 34th minute, Kuyt, Crouch and Fennan made continuous cooperation on the middle and right. Fennan sent a free kick for Yang Yang. Yang Yang easily ran to the position and pushed the empty goal. Than zero.
Crouch then hit the header and expanded the score.
And after changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Aurelio sent a precision straight ball, Yang Yang quickly inserted from the left and passed the ball. Crouch hit the goal and scored twice.
In the end, Liverpool beat Watford 3-0.
A week later, Liverpool welcomed Chelsea at home.
