Vol 4 Chapter 663: Three-game winning streak

When Yang Yang quickly walked to the podium and took the trophy of the best striker from Eusebio, there was a burst of applause and cheers from the Grimalty Convention Center. Fiction.
On the big screen on the podium, Yang Yang's goals and assists in the Champions League last season are playing.
This is his third consecutive season as the best scorer in the Champions League. This achievement is not easy for him.
The football practitioners at the scene also gave a long warm applause to show the affirmation of Yang Yang's award.
It wasn't until the applause was over that Yang Yang slowly walked to the microphone. He grabbed the trophy with his right hand and thanked everyone under the stage. He won warm applause again, and Gerrard and Carragher even cheered loudly.
"Thanks to UEFA, to all Liverpool fans, to all my teammates, to everyone who voted for me, very, very, very thank you for your support and love."
When Yang Yang said it, thunderous applause rang again in the conference center.
"I have been in Liverpool for two seasons. With this great and unique team, with a group of outstanding players, with many passionate fans, we have won the Champions League and the Premier League. These are two The extraordinary season has left an indelible mark on my life. "
"I have scored many goals, but I am still full of hunger and can be selected as the best striker. I am very proud and proud, but at the same time, I will regard this trophy as an encouragement and The encouragement gives me more confidence to improve myself. "
"Here, I also want to tell my teammates and fans that we will go forward hand in hand. In the next season, we will continue to work hard to win more honors and championships!"
After speaking, Yang Yang took two steps back slowly, bowing deeply, "Thank you!"
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and everyone was very satisfied with Yang Yang's speech and performance.
This is the second consecutive year he has received this award, but he still maintains this humble attitude.
Many people at the scene looked at Yang Yang on the stage, and there was a strange feeling in their hearts, everyone was different.
It has been six years since Yang Yang debuted from Ajax to now, and in the past six years, he has been connected with too many teams, some have never looked down on him, and some have not paid attention to it. He, and regrettably passed him by.
At this moment, the representatives of these clubs were sitting under the stage, watching Yang Yang holding the best striker trophy on the stage. No one would know what was in their minds. The only certainty was that they were envious of Liverpool.
Benitez once said that 40 million euros were introduced to Yang Yang in order to introduce Liverpool a forward who can provide a stable 20 goals per season.
But since Yang Yang joined Liverpool, he scored at least more than forty goals, and last season more than fifty goals, Liverpool made a big profit in this transfer.
Can win the game and win the championship, the value is still flipping up, and there is a huge commercial value behind him. Yang Yang stands on the stage, as if the whole body is piled up with gold, dazzling.

After Yang Yang won the best striker, Liverpool's draw in the fourth gear continued the previous bad luck, drawing the strongest Atletico Madrid in the fourth gear, which undoubtedly increased Liverpool's UEFA Champions League group stage. Difficulty.
Eindhoven, Marseille and Atletico Madrid, these three teams are not easy to play.
Although Liverpool's overall strength occupies the leading position in this group, it is really necessary to die with these three teams, and the Reds can't talk of any certainty of winning, let alone easily qualify.
In contrast, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all lucky.
Chelsea have drawn Roma, Bordeaux and Cluj. Although there are teams such as Roma and Bordeaux, it is difficult to shake Chelsea as a whole. The Blues came out of the group and even got the group first. There should be no Any problem.
Manchester United selected Villarreal, Celtic and Aalborg. The team that could really shake to Manchester United is Villarreal, but the overall strength of the yellow submarine is still better than that of Manchester United. There is a clear gap.
As for the Celtics and Aalborg, there is a disparity in strength with Manchester United.
Arsenal will be relatively more difficult, drawing Porto, Dynamo Kiev and Fenerbahçe, the problem of qualifying is not big, mainly depends on whether the Gunners can win the group first.
Judging from Wenger's operations over the past few years, Arsenal have some ambitions. The league is dominated by the top four and the Champions League does not have enough aggressiveness. This can be seen from the transfer operation of the Gunners.
Taken together, Liverpool have the worst luck among the top four teams in the Premier League.
...
After the lottery results were released, Yang Yang and Gerrard all smiled bitterly, but they were not afraid.
In an interview with the media after the game, Yang Yang smiled and said that the strength of the four teams are relatively close, so it is impossible to say which game will be particularly difficult.
"We need to play every game steadily and firmly to be able to make sure we qualify from the group."
After the lottery results were released, a number of bookmakers including William Hill opened their odds, Chelsea became the team with the highest odds, Real Madrid followed, followed by Manchester United, Inter Milan, Barcelona , Liverpool and Arsenal.
As for why Real Madrid, which has stopped at the top 16 for many years, will be ranked second, this can only be said that there are more fans supporting Real Madrid, and Chelsea has strengthened its strength this season, especially with the joining of Deco. The field is greatly improved.
The British media's general response is also like Yang Yang's conjecture, that Liverpool and Arsenal are in danger, and the draw of Chelsea and Manchester United is lucky.

On the afternoon of August 31st, Birmingham Vera Park Stadium.
In the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Aston Villa away.
Before the game, Liverpool encountered a surprise attack on the injury. Captain Gerrard had to miss this game due to the recurrence of the old groin injury. He was treated and expected to be absent for about two weeks.
Since the next game is the national team, the impact of this break on Liverpool is not particularly great.
But the good news is that Mascherano, who helped Argentina win at the Beijing Olympics, returned to the team, Brazil's midfielder Lucas Reiva is back, and Liverpool's midfielder is not lacking.
Benitez played a four-three-three formation on the road, and there was not much change in the back line. It was still a combination of Aurelio, Skotel, Carragher and Aveloa, and Gareth Barry was discharged in the midfield. , Mascherano and Xavi Alonso's three-waist combination, the frontcourt is composed of Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuit trident.
It is not difficult to see from the formation of platoons that Benitez played very cautiously on the road.
Aston Villa coach Martin O'Neal was out of the four-two-two formation, and he was also afraid to carelessly.
Both sides started very cautiously, and it wasn't until the tenth minute that Aston Villa took a chance and shot the first shot, but then both sides were still more conservative.
It wasn't until the twenty-fifth minute that Liverpool started to work hard.
Vera Park Stadium has always been the most difficult Devil away game in the Premier League. Almost all Premier League teams have collapsed here. Benitez's caution is understandable.
In the face of this season's two-game winning streak and strong Liverpool, Martin O'Neill also adopted a defensive counter-attack strategy, especially against Yang Yang's defense, and arranged two players such as Lukyan and Milner, focusing on freezing Live in Yangyang.
Gerrard's absence has caused Liverpool to lose a very important attack point and a response point for a wide range of activities in the frontier of the penalty area. Aston Villa is aiming at this and effectively cutting Liverpool's front trident.
The final result was that Yang Yang had almost no chance in the first half. As long as he got the ball, he was immediately marked by Aston Villa's defensive players.
The first half ended with zero to zero.
During the intermission, Yang Yang also expressed his views to the head coach, hoping to expand his range of activities.
The combination of Gareth Bari, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso ensured that Liverpool's defense was solid, but there was not much support for the offensive force in the frontcourt, whether it was Ashliyan or Abanglaho. Very fast players, this is a great test for Liverpool's counterattack.
Without the support from the midfield and backcourt, Yang Yang needs to further expand his range of activities and get rid of the markings from Aston Villa.
Benitez agreed with Yang Yang's request and asked Crouch and Kuyt to cooperate with him.
After changing sides in the second half and then fighting, Liverpool's players are a bit like 4312, Crouch and Kuyt are at the forefront, and Yang Yang has become a free man in the frontcourt, routing him on the sidelines. Play.
This completely activated Yang Yang.
He started to be more active on the court. Liverpool got three corners in a row after the opening. They were all created by Yang Yang, but unfortunately, Liverpool did not catch it.
When the game reached the fifty-second minute, Yang Yang suddenly ran from the left to the middle, after receiving the pass from Gareth Barry, he turned around and got rid of Milner behind, dribbling the ball forward quickly, and quickly sent it At the foot of Crouch.
Crouch grasped his mind, blocked Aston Villa defender with his body, passed the ball diagonally behind Petrov, and passed it back to Yang Yang. The two formed a beautiful two-on-one collision with the wall.
Yang Yang shook off the defensive player at the fastest speed. After catching up with the ball, he walked into the arc of the penalty area and directly pulled his legs and shot.
Friedel responded quickly and flew to make a save, but Yang Yang's shot came quickly and urgently, and the angle was also tricky. He directly rubbed Friedel's fingertip and slammed into the right side of the goal.
One to zero!
The entire Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium excitedly, celebrating his goal!
In the end, Liverpool also took advantage of Yang Yang's goal to capture the Premier League Devil away at Villa Park Stadium, scored a valuable three points, and also achieved a three-game winning streak at the start of the season!
