In fact, if Manchester United had not snatched the striker with Cristiano Ronaldo's double score in the first three rounds, Liverpool's performance so far this season is not bad, and it can even be said to be quite good.

Why do you say so?

In the first half of the season, especially during Liverpool's ups and downs, everyone questioned Benitez's rotation system, and some even joked that he had coached Liverpool so far, and almost none of them had maintained the same lineup.

This statement is certainly a bit exaggerated, but it can also reflect Benitez's rotation system.

Espanyol is also very strong. Whether he is inside the team or in interviews with the outside world, he publicly stated that his rotation system has no problem, but people have not seen any results yet.

After December, as Liverpool won four-0 consecutively, all doubts gradually disappeared.

Especially when it comes to the Christmas Devil schedule, Liverpool has shown strong competitiveness in continuous battles. While Chelsea and Arsenal have suffered setbacks and lost points, Liverpool has always maintained the momentum of running side by side with Manchester United.

Liverpool has won five games in the last six games, and has not conceded in these five games, which shows that the team's condition has improved.

If this is the case, it doesn't mean the problem. The key is to maintain and adjust the team's personnel status, especially the injury of players. Liverpool is currently the least among the top four in the Premier League.

However, unfortunately, among the fewest injuries, one of the team's weakest links, the defensive midfielder.

Benitez then made tactical adjustments, using Gerald, Xavi Alonso to play 442, and Aurerio also played two guest appearances in the central defender, and his performance was considered average.

But Benitez still repeatedly emphasized that the team needs to introduce a midfield defensive player during the winter break so that he can release Gerald's attack power and then allow Yang Yang and Gerald to form a dual-core offensive core in the frontcourt.

But the schedule still needs to continue.

...

The home game against Bolton was a tough battle.

This Premier League powerhouse is currently ranked fourth in the standings, which shows its strength.

In the first half, Benitez once again lined up the 442 formation. Crouch and Kuyt joined forces, Yang Yang sat on the bench for rotation, Luis Garcia and Pennant took the lead in the two wings, and Harvey Alonso and Gerard once again joined the midfield in the middle.

In the first half, Liverpool had the advantage.

Crouch brought tactical height to the home team and dominance in the penalty area, but after Yang Yang's rotation, Liverpool's offense lost its speed and became less sharp. It was often mainly started on both sides and long passes.

This made it not difficult for Bolton to defend.

The first half was tied with zero to zero, and after the second half of the game, Benitez still had no idea of ​​substitution.

This is his midfield arrangement.

"Yang, you have to wait patiently and observe carefully, especially Bolton's defense line running."

...

Yang Yang himself is also very clear about his situation.

It was really uncomfortable to experience the devil's schedule during the first winter break.

In the past three years, he has usually rested in the Eredivisie League in winter and has adapted to the rhythm of the Eredivisie League. However, in the Premier League, he not only failed to get a rest, but instead had to usher in the most difficult and challenging schedule.

It’s not that he can’t endure hardship, but that he cannot perform his own state.

He is now in a situation where he is willing but cannot achieve his state.

Benitez and the coaching staff were also very aware of his situation and kept telling him that this was a normal phenomenon, and all the players who came to the Premier League for the first time were like this.

Cristiano Ronaldo?

This is his fourth season in the Premier League!

Yang Yang kept comforting himself and adjusting his emotions.

The game continued on the court, and Liverpool could not defeat it for a long time, but put huge offensive pressure on Bolton.

Campo, who once played for Real Madrid, was fouled Pennant in the 58th minute and was shown a yellow card.

It was at this time that Benitez asked his assistant coach Yesterdam to come and call Yang Yang.

Since she has been hot for a long time, Yang Yang can get on at any time.

…………

…………

"We see that Benitez is finally going to make a substitution adjustment!"

The entire Anfield Stadium was boiling with a scream from the on-site commentator.

In the chairman's stands, Liverpool's players and families sat together, and Su Ye sat together with Gerald's girlfriend Curran.

She was wearing a black down jacket, a knitted cotton hat bought by Liverpool fans' shops on her head, and a Liverpool scarf wrapped around her pink neck. She was wrapped tightly, revealing her beautiful face, which looked very simple and natural, unforgettable at a glance.

Even in a fashionable wife group, it is difficult to hide Su Ye's unconventional appearance and is very eye-catching.

When he saw Yang Yang standing on the sidelines and hearing the voices of the commentators on the scene and cheering from the fans of the audience, Su Ye stood up excitedly and cheered for Yang Yang hard.

This scene was naturally captured by the live broadcast camera and teleported to the large screen on the scene, as well as in front of all the Premier League fans around the world who watched the live broadcast of the game.

All Liverpool fans shouted Yang Yang's name, which made everyone see Yang Yang's popularity at Anfield. He is definitely the well-deserved leader of the Reds this season.

...

Yang Yang stood on the sidelines and waited for the chance to play with the dead ball.

Yesterdam was beside him, holding a tactical board and gestured at him, softly reminding him to pay more attention to the passes from the right, especially Pennant.

This cross from the Premier League last season is quite accurate in crossing on the right.

Now that Campo has a yellow card, Benitez obviously needs to continue to strengthen his attack on the right, beat Bolton's left side in one fell swoop, creating more opportunities for the team's offense.

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Yang nodded while tidying up his shorts.

"Okay, come on!" Yesterdam gently patted Yang Yang on the shoulder, turned around and retreated to the coaching area.

Soon, in the 60th minute, with a chance to die, Yang Yang replaced Louis Garcia on the court.

For a moment, Anfield Stadium was applause and the fans were shouting.

...

After playing, the ball was quickly cleared by Bolton.

Yang Yang had a quick sprint on the left, but it was more like a warm-up because the ball didn't come to him at all.

And this time, Yang Yang also felt that although he was not in his best condition, he was still maintaining a good position.

On the one hand, we have to rely on our daily accumulation and self-discipline, and we also have to thank Benitez and the coaching staff, Yesterdam and Winston Bogard for his adjustment of his condition and training arrangements.

When Bolton attacked, Yang Yang expanded his range of activities.

On the one hand, we warm up through running and find the state of the game, and on the other hand, we are also looking for opportunities patiently.

Liverpool quickly intercepted the ball successfully and sent it to the right again, and Finnan launched the attack.

The attack on the right was very fast, but Yang Yang did not follow up on the left, but instead paid attention to the timing.

After Crouch's handling, the ball was passed to Kuyt.

After the Dutch forward got the ball, he got rid of a defensive player and quickly passed it back to the right side of the penalty area and handed it to Pennant.

Almost at this moment, Yang Yang suddenly rushed to the penalty area quickly and raised his right hand to ask for the ball.

Pennant was obviously instructed by the coaching staff. As soon as he saw Yang Yang stepping into the penalty area, he immediately chose to cross it. Crouch and Kuyt also took away the defensive players as soon as possible to create space for Yang Yang.

At that moment, Bolton's players had no idea who Liverpool was going to find for the right cross, and the whole first half was played around Crouch and Kuyt, so when they saw the two players move, they immediately rushed up.

But in this way, there was a blank space on the left side of the penalty area.

Yang Yang quickly inserted into this gap and looked up at the falling trend of the ball.

Unexpectedly, whether it was because of the excessive physical consumption, which led to the distortion of the technical movements, or whether Pennant did not understand Yang Yang's intention, the pass actually had an arc and turned a small corner in the middle of the journey.

In this way, Yang Yang ran past.

Yang Yang was shocked, but almost in a moment, he calmed down and a thought flashed through his mind.

That was the inverted gold hook when Crouch played against Galatasaray in the Champions League group stage.

This is the only way he can think of now.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yang quickly turned around, judged the fall of the ball, seized the opportunity, and as soon as his legs were exerted, his whole body quickly turned back...

This inverted gold hook is completely different from ordinary shots, especially in mid-air, which relies almost entirely on the strength of the core muscles of the waist and abdomen. After Yang Yang jumped, the strength of his legs was quickly transmitted to the core muscles of the waist and abdomen.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with both hands, and flipped his whole body.

When the ball came, he used his waist and abdomen to quickly transmit the strength back to his right leg and kicked it out quickly.

The whole process happened in a moment, and he had no extra time to think and judge, and he was facing away from the goal, so he could only rely entirely on his own feelings to judge the ball's running trajectory, the timing of his feet, the part of the ball touching, and the goalkeeper's movement position and the direction of the shot.

All of this seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.

Because by feeling!

This is a feeling that can only be understood by one's own will but cannot be described in words.

When he hit the ball with his right foot on the instep, Yang Yang felt a particularly strong feeling.

This ball is right!

Is there any?

have no idea!

Because he has to consider how he lands next.

This is also a science, because the wrong position on the ground may cause you to be injured.

And this requires the core muscles to exert force.

The whole process is complicated, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yang didn't even have time to consider whether the ball was scored or not.
Chapter completed!
