Liverpool narrowly beat Inter Milan 1-0 away!

As soon as the game ended, it immediately sparked heated discussions among the media and fans around the world.

The focus of the topic undoubtedly fell on Yang Yang's two consecutive goals, which proved that he was gradually regaining his form. However, in an interview with the media after the game, Benitez said that what he was most satisfied with was Yang Yang's performance in the first half.

"I think he is gradually regaining his threat on the court and playing his role."

What Benitez said is undoubtedly Yang Yang dribbled the ball to attack Inter Milan's defense several times. His speed advantage was fully utilized. Even if he was not in his best condition, he was still very threatening on the court.

After the game, Inter Milan issued a statement that Cordoba's cruciate ligament strain on his left knee may undergo surgery, which also means that Cordoba will bid farewell to this season completely.

For this result, the Italian media and fans did not point their finger at Yang Yang, because Yang Yang made a special trip to the hospital to visit Cordoba after the game, and Cordoba and Inter Milan expressed their gratitude for this.

More accusations were directed at head coach Mancini, because Inter Milan has indeed suffered more injuries this season, and the conflict between Mancini and team doctor Kong Bi has led to a long lack of communication between the two so far, which is obviously inappropriate.

Many people believe that the conflict between the head coach and the team doctor has led to frequent injuries in Inter Milan.

In addition to Cordoba, Matrazi received a yellow card twice in this game and was sent off by a red card, and would be destined to miss the second leg, which also cast a shadow on Inter Milan's prospects for promotion.

If Matrazi is lost, who will Inter Milan rely on to block Crouch?

This is obviously a problem.

After Yang Yang's return, Liverpool is now strong. Benitez's team is currently advancing on both the Premier League and the Champions League, and has also reached the League Cup final. The prospects are undoubtedly very exciting.

...

After Liverpool defeated Inter Milan, the British media cared for a group.

Many media have put a demerit in the pre-match provocation, believing that the Italian central defender's performance in this game is a disaster. Even without those two yellow cards and red cards, he is destined to be the worst player in this game.

"It turns out that Matrazi's performance on the court is far less powerful than he has shown in front of the media."

Many media also believe that Matrazi's foul against Crouch was completely unnecessary. It is quite irrational to continue to make such big moves when he already had a yellow card.

"He paid the price for his stupidity, and also put Inter Milan in despair."

Some of the media pointed out the internal contradictions within Inter Milan, because when the substitution was made in the second half, Mancini once wanted to replace Figo, but the Portuguese superstar refused to be replaced.

This move proves that Inter Milan's internal contradictions have almost been revealed.

...

When the team returned to Liverpool, Yang Yang accepted an interview with the British media Liverpool Echo. He said that the team's ability to win depends on the efforts of everyone in the team.

"Is it easy?" Yang Yang shook his head, "No, we may seem to win relatively easily, but in fact, winning this game is not easy. The reason why we give everyone this feeling is that we have carried out a lot of heavy and targeted preparations before the game."

"In order to let each of us know clearly what we are going to do, the coaching staff spent several days, carried out a lot of preparations, repeatedly watched the video of Inter Milan's game, conducted continuous research and analysis, and finally condensed into a game report and handed it to each of us."

"Why do I know this?"

Yang Yang smiled, "Because during that period, I happened to return to the team."

What he said was that a few days before the players returned to the team, taking advantage of the national team game day, Benitez and the coaching staff began to conduct targeted research and analysis on the opponent Inter Milan, the top 16 knockout match, and made a lot of preparations.

This is why the team conducts targeted tactical drills as soon as Liverpool players return to the team.

As the saying goes, one minute on the stage, ten years of hard work off the stage, this sentence also applies to professional football.

After the first leg of the sixteen-round knockout rounds, the Premier League was mixed.

Fortunately, Liverpool beat Inter Milan with one away goal, and the possibility of advancement soared, while the other three Premier League teams were worried that they inevitably fell into a tough battle.

Arsenal played against AC Milan at home, but after 90 minutes of hard fighting, the two sides tied with each other and tied with zero to zero.

Facts have proved that not only Yang Yang fell into a trough, Kaka was also not excited enough after the FIFA Awards Conference. Whether it was the previous Milan derby to Inter Milan or the away challenge to Arsenal, Kaka obviously did not show his best performance.

However, compared with Yang Yang, Kaka has gained more tolerance.

Yang Yang is now at the limelight and targeted the public. Moreover, he performed better in the first half. His continuous goals have made everyone's expectations for Yang Yang higher. As soon as there is a goal drought, they will immediately question it.

Especially media reporters, if they cannot find other black materials, if they don’t score goals, they will undoubtedly be the best material.

Manchester United's situation is slightly better than Arsenal, drew 1-1 away against Lyon, and Tevez equalized the score for the Red Devils in the second half.

Chelsea performed the worst among the top four in the Premier League. They played Olympiacos away but failed to score a goal. They drew Olympiacos away from home, which has to be said to be a very depressing thing.

The overall strength of the Greek team is relatively weak. Chelsea should have been sure to win, but it failed to win. The Blues' state is indeed relatively sluggish.

But this is not a bad thing for Liverpool.

Because Liverpool challenged Chelsea away three days after playing Inter Milan.

…………

…………

The 28th round of the Premier League, Stamford Bridge Stadium.

In the key battle, Carvalho, who was suspended, returned to the team, and the injured Lampard also returned to the team. During the winter break, French striker Anelka, introduced by Chelsea from Bolton, also appeared and partnered with Drogba and Maluda.

The midfielder was dragged by Mark Lele, with Barack and Lampard in the center.

In this game, Liverpool made appropriate adjustments based on the match between Inter Milan, but Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt were still in the match, and the midfielder was still a combination of Mascherano, Gerald and Lucas Reva.

Xavi Alonso still took maternity leave and did not go out with the team.

After the game started, both sides played faster, especially Liverpool, who quickly controlled the situation after the start of the game.

In the fifteenth minute, Liverpool created the most threatening attack.

Liser cooperated with Yang Yang to launch an offensive on the left and crossed to the penalty area.

Crouch grabbed the landing point and headed the ball, but it was slightly off.

Two minutes later, another offensive was launched from the left. Liser crossed the penalty area again. Crouch headed the ball back and pushed the ball back to Yang Yang. Yang Yang shook past the defensive player and knocked it back to Crouch.

As a result, Crouch hit the ball directly on the outside of the post when he pushed the ball from close range in front of the goal, missing an excellent scoring opportunity.

...

Although he failed to score, the game was under Liverpool's control.

Yang Yang was closely guarded by the opponent, and his condition was not particularly good, so he still supported and supported his teammates, giving full play to his advantages in running and passing and controlling belts, creating gaps for his teammates.

Liverpool arranged a partner of Scotter and Carragher in this game. The Slovak central defender played very well in this game. He had an advantage in the air and made quick and accurate moves. He sat in front of the goal with Carragher and did not give Chelsea too many opportunities, especially in the first half, which only gave Chelsea a chance to shoot.

In addition, Lucas Reva's performance has gradually been recognized by the team, with the quality of midfield passes improved and the accuracy has also been relatively improved, which has caused Liverpool's mistakes to decline a lot, and the team's on-court advantage has become more obvious.

On the other hand, Chelsea was affected by the African Cup, and many players including Essin, Drogba and Mikel went back to play the African Cup. As a result, after returning, several players were injured one after another. Essin has not recovered so far.

As for Drogba and Mikel, they have not yet adjusted their state.

Although Chelsea's overall performance is not ideal and can even be said to be a bit sluggish, the Blues' defensive foundation is still there.

From Ranieri to Mourinho, Chelsea's defensive system has always been quite complete. Even though Mourinho has left the team now, the Blues' defensive ability is still second to none in the Premier League.

Liverpool has adopted a more active strategy and launched an offensive continuously.

Until the 84th minute, Gerald passed directly to the right, and Kuyt got the ball from the right side of the penalty area and passed it to the back point of the penalty area.

Crouch's firing shot from the middle attracted the attention of the defensive, while Yang Yang ran to the position like a ghost, headed the ball from close range, and pushed the ball into Chelsea's goal.

One to zero!

Then, the Blues launched a fierce attack and shot two consecutive shots. Barack once again volleyed, almost creating a threat, and Riser almost made an own goal under the pressure of the opponent's players.

But in the end, Liverpool defeated Chelsea one-to-zero with a headhammer in front of Yang Yang's goal, and scored all three-pointers away.

This is also Yang Yang's recent three consecutive goals, and also scored the second consecutive league goal.

For this game, Liverpool's performance was mixed, and the offense was not very good. Yang Yang seemed not excited enough. The Times even believed that if Liverpool was in great shape, this game would likely be a big score.

But in the end it was just a small win with one goal.

On the other hand, Chelsea's condition was even more sluggish. The Blues only shot four times in the whole game. On the one hand, Liverpool's defense was stable, but at the same time it also reflected that Chelsea's condition was not good.
