He eliminated Real Madrid 4-0 at home, and defeated the La Liga giants 8-0 in two rounds, allowing Liverpool to receive tides of praise and praise in the following days. Many fans even came to Melwood in person to give the team applause.m.x.

All media around the world are also praising Liverpool for how easily defeated Real Madrid, one of the best teams in the world. This is known as an epic victory, and everyone has once again determined that Yang Yang is the number one person in the world and the top superstar.

With the release of the Champions League quarterfinals draw results, everyone's attention has fallen on Liverpool and Barcelona again, both teams are hailed as the most likely hottest candidates to laugh at this Champions League.

Barcelona drew Bayern Munich, and the Bundesliga class bully was the team with the most goals in the quarterfinals. They first beat Sporting Lisbon from 5 to 0 away, and then defeated the Portuguese Super League team seven to 1 at home, and successfully advanced 12 to 1 in total.

As for Barcelona, ​​they beat Ligue 1-1 away game, 5-2 at home.

The battle between these two traditional wealthy families is undoubtedly quite interesting.

As for Liverpool and Chelsea, they are already old enemies in the Champions League, and the showdown between the two Premier League teams is also very interesting, especially Chelsea, who has not won in the strong dialogue this season.

Although Liverpool has a certain advantage over Chelsea, the Reds are still keeping a low profile.

Whether it is General Manager Rick Parry or head coach Benitez, they repeatedly emphasized in interviews with the media that Liverpool only cares about the next quarter-finals knockout stages, and Chelsea is a very strong team. As for whether they will meet Manchester United in the semi-finals, this is not something Liverpool should care about now.

But there is a saying that is right: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

Liverpool wants to prepare quietly, but outside media and fans have paid great attention to the upcoming Double Red Club.

This is the third Double Red Club game this season, and Liverpool won both the first two games and snatched a championship from Manchester United.

Now, we meet in the FA Cup semi-finals and may meet again in the Champions League. It is really a matter of whether enemies are not gathering.

But because of this, the upcoming game seems more substantial.

Both the media and the fans began to cast more profound meanings to this game.

…………

…………

Liverpool is not far from Manchester.

Although this world-renowned Double Red Club was held at noon, Liverpool still decided to take a bus to Manchester on the morning of the game. However, the night before the game, the players still checked in at the Hope Street Hotel.

In the early morning of mid-March, the weather in northwest of Britain was still very cold, as if it felt like the war was imminent. Liverpool had a drizzle last night, which added a bit of chill.

Since the competition was held at noon, Yang Yang woke up in the morning and washed it, but did not go to the hotel gym to train like before, nor did he go out for a run. Instead, he sat in the hotel lobby for a while and went out with an umbrella on a whim.

He is always a special one in Liverpool. This is not a privilege, but a habit.

For example, he has to practice more every morning, or run in the gym or run, and sometimes even go swimming at noon.

Or, the night before each game, he would get a detailed information and data analysis of his opponent from Yesterdam, and the coaching staff would put these precious materials into a U-disk and hand them to Yang Yang Yang's hands.

Because of this, Liverpool's coaching staff did not restrict Yang Yang's outings much.

This is a kind of trust in Yang Yang.

...

Go out from the Hope Street Hotel to the northwest, enter Hanover Street from Duke Street, head to the dock, and arrive at Albert Head. The whole journey is only about 1.5 kilometers.

It is known as the heritage of Liverpool. It has the famous Albert Dock and the Beatles Memorial. These are the two buildings that best represent the city of Liverpool and also represents the city's once glorious past.

In the early morning, in the drizzle, there was no one on the pier.

Yang Yang held an umbrella and looked out at several modern glass buildings on the other side, Liverpool History Museum and the city cultural center, and then there was the ferry dock and the Titanic monument. Liverpool is the home port of this giant ship.

This is a very meaningful conflict.

The ancient heritage and modern innovation are far away from each other, and they are connected together with an ancient black iron bridge, which is only for pedestrians to pass by.

After three years in this city, Yang Yang has not been here many times, but he likes it very much.

Kenny Daglish once told him that he should try to integrate into this city and appreciate the unique things that made this city and the team great.

But three years have passed, and Yang Yang is quite touched by this, but he still has only a slight understanding of it.

He was not born and raised here like Gerald, and has experienced everything from childhood to adulthood.

Many things are not as profound as those of Gerald and others, such as the Hillsborough tragedy.

He also often participates in club activities, but he always feels like a bystander, who agrees with and sympathizes with them, but never can empathize because those things are not something he has experienced personally.

But he is still willing to fight for this city and for this group of people!

Because he is a professional player from Liverpool!

At this moment, he stood on the dock, as if he felt the uniqueness of this city and this team.

He couldn't describe that feeling in words, as if he couldn't tell others what he had experienced in the past three years at Liverpool and the feeling he had about this team.

It was once great, once arrogant, and once swept Europa, but it was also once down and once sluggish, and even now, it is still unable to compete with teams like Manchester United and Chelsea.

Although Liverpool is now in a glorious place, everyone knows that this achievement cannot last.

Without sufficient financial resources and business foundation to support, Liverpool's current glory is destined to be a flash in the pan.

Yang Yang will leave, and Harvey Alonso will probably leave, and maybe even Gerald will leave.

This is the cruelty of professional football and the sorrow of Liverpool.

But before leaving, you have to leave something, just like the invisible Titanic monument on the other side, the Albert dock behind you... Let everyone know that at least it was so glorious.

…………

…………

The three kilometers round trip is just a short time for Yang Yang.

Back at the hotel, it wasn't the breakfast time for the team to gather.

But head coach Benitez had already gotten up and sat in the hotel lobby waiting for him. As soon as he saw Yang Yang, he immediately stopped him.

Yang Yang was not surprised by the red eyes.

Anyone who is familiar with Benitez knows that this is common because he often studies opponents and tactics all night long.

He even heard that he could lock himself in his room for days and nights, focusing on studying the video of the competition.

Yang Yang has only heard of two such head coaches who are crazy about football, the other is Argentina's madman Bielsa.

"You read all the materials last night?" Benitez asked straight to the point.

Yang Yang nodded heavily, "Look."

"What are your thoughts?"

"Ballotelli can beat Osheim's side, so can I." Yang Yang said confidently.

Yang Yang is not unfamiliar with O'Shea, Manchester United's right-back, and he is confident enough.

Benitez did not doubt this, but he obviously had other ideas. "It's nothing to beat Oshei. Besides you, I think Gareth Bale can do it, and you should also be very clear about his speed."

Yang Yang nodded. After joining Liverpool, Gareth Bale performed very well at the speed and played very well in many games, which left a deep impression on the media and fans.

Many people remember Yang Yang's contributions because he originally appointed Gareth Bale to join Liverpool as his substitute, and the Welshman showed quite good levels and potential. Compared with Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool can be said to have made a lot of money.

"you mean……"

"I'll let Crouch substitute, you'll still play in the middle."

Yang Yang frowned, which was obviously a bit surprised.

Manchester United are different from Real Madrid. Manchester United's two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic are the strongest in Europe. If Yang Yang plays against the central defender, it would be equivalent to fighting with them. This is not Yang Yang's strength.

Seeing Yang Yang's expression, Benitez nodded in his mind.

"Vidic is a right-footed player, but at Manchester United, Ferguson has always placed him in the left center back position, and next to him is Evra, the most powerful full-back."

After Benitez said this, Yang Yang immediately guessed his intention.

Liverpool used it once before and Inter Milan once when playing against O'Shea. Ferguson will definitely be mentally prepared.

Osheim, Ferdinand and Vidic turned slowly, which is well known. There is an Evra on this side of Vidic, which is indeed an opportunity. What's more, the Serbian central defender just won the best in the game against Inter Milan. Liverpool played in Vidic, which was definitely an unexpected move.

Yang Yang admires Benitez's idea. His tactical qualities have improved greatly in the past three years at Liverpool, but there is a problem with this move.

"How do you ensure that Manchester United will follow your ideas? Vidic is very clear about his weaknesses, so he generally does not move forward easily, just try to avoid being beaten behind him." Yang Yang expressed his suspicion.

Whether it is a team, a head coach or a player, you must deeply practice your strengths and avoid your weaknesses when you go to the court.

Vidic is a world-class central defender, so he naturally knows his strengths and weaknesses. Ferguson is the top coach, and he is more aware of his players' problems and weaknesses.

What's more, the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic is the world's top, and its characteristics are relatively complementary.

In this case, although Benitez's idea is good, it is difficult to work.
