464 A blessing in disguise

Sometimes, football matches are full of strange coincidences.

It's like Liverpool's away game against Everton.

Ten seconds into the game, Yang Yang used a long shot to penetrate Everton's goal.

This shocking shot made everyone see Yang Yang's strength, and also disrupted Everton's rhythm.

In the next ninety minutes of the game, Liverpool completely had the advantage, but never created a good scoring opportunity.

Yang Yang tried hard to find opportunities, but on the one hand, he was closely guarded by Everton, and on the other hand, Liverpool did not provide him with support, either because his teammates did not pass it, or because the ball was not passed well.

In short, there are various reasons that have caused him to fail to score again.

Yang Yang failed to score again, and other players were also silent.

Even in the second half, Benitez replaced Robbie Fowler and Luis Garcia one after another, but neither of them changed the team's offense.

But no matter what, the team can win with the opening goal.

But in the 94th minute, the last minute of the game, or even the last few seconds, Everton made a long shot, and Renner made a very fatal mistake, which could even be said to be an amateur mistake.

The difficulty of saving this shot is not very difficult.

The Spanish goalkeeper stood a little outside and rushed back to the near goal line to save. At this time, there are many options to make, either by choosing to lift the crossbar or by pushing the ball to one side to let it go out of bounds. But Reina seemed to hesitate when making a choice. He obviously wanted to hug the ball directly.

But because he quickly returned to the goal line and saved the game, and his body had the inertia to rush towards the goal, when he hugged the ball, he obviously realized that what he was holding was not a ball, but a hot potato.

If he doesn't let go, the final result is that he will drive the ball into the goal with his opponent.

So the Spanish goalkeeper quickly threw the ball out.

The worst thing is that Everton, who had no decent chances in the whole game, actually got such a godsend opportunity at the last moment of the game. Forward Andy Johnson followed up and headed the ball from a close range to the hollow goal.

One to one!

Three points instantly turned into one point!

…………

…………

"Haha, all I can say is, this is definitely the most bizarre mistake in the Premier League so far."

"Renner once again proves to us how important it is to be a stable goalkeeper."

"Yang Yang broke through Everton's goal ten seconds into the game, scoring the most exciting long shot of the season and the fastest goal in the Premier League this season, but his teammate Renner made a stupid mistake at the last minute of the game."

"Benitez has absolutely reason to be depressed by his team's performance, because they had already scored three points, but Reiner personally sent the three points away and gave Everton one point."

…………

…………

Boer quickly blew the whistle to the end of the game.

Liverpool players looked very depressed, and they were obviously also hit by the goalkeeper's bizarre mistakes at the last moment of the game, and everyone was very depressed.

It was supposed to be three points, but the result turned out to be one point.

The away game against Everton and the same-city derby, it was not too bad to score a point, but it should have been a three-pointer...

Reiner sat in the goal line, took off his goalkeeper's gloves, held his head, and regretted it.

Yang Yang was also full of disappointment because he seemed to have seen three points, but unexpectedly it turned into one point.

Ask yourself, he really tried his best, but in this game, Liverpool's condition was really bad.

Reiner's last-minute mistake is very inappropriate, but should he blame him for it?

Yang Yang quickly felt relieved because no one would make mistakes!

Last season, Liverpool conceded 25 goals in the Premier League, only four more goals than Chelsea, who won the championship. Renner's unreachable games were 22 games, surpassing the entire Premier League. This report card surprised everyone.

It can be said that Reina's strength does not need to be doubted, but he is indeed not stable enough.

Besides, although Reiner's mistake in Everton's goal just now was infinitely amplified, he was also taking the blame for Carragher because he did not go up and prevent his opponent from shooting from a long shot at the first time.

This deputy captain who just recovered from injury is indeed in a normal state today.

But soccer is.

To accept the eye-catching moments of Renner and Carragher at their peak, and to accept their bad times during the trough.

Sooner or later, Yang Yang himself will make some mistakes, such as missing some excellent opportunities.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang took a deep breath and quickly walked towards the goal.

Almost at the same time, Gerald also walked quickly towards the goal.

"Pepe, that's not your responsibility, there's no need for guilt." Gerald comforted.

Yang Yang didn't say a word, but just stood by Renner silently to show his support.

He could imagine that tomorrow's media will definitely make overwhelming accusations against Reiner, and the pressure he will bear will be greater than now.

…………

…………

In the locker room after the game, Benitez was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

But he did not target Renner who made a mistake, but instead targeted everyone in the team except Yang Yang.

He believes that the team should have had a big victory in this game, but it ended up becoming a draw, which deserves everyone's vigilance.

But at the same time, he also said that it is not unacceptable to draw the same city rival Everton one-to-one away game, especially considering that the team is deeply affected by the national team game, many people are obviously not in shape.

Liverpool players can also feel this.

Crouch, Gerald, Harvey Alonso, Hypia, Carragher...

From front to back, almost the entire central axis was very sluggish. If it weren't for the goal that Yang Yang had scored shortly after the opening, Liverpool might have been difficult for him to escape from Goodson Park Stadium.

Benitez also emphasized Yang Yang's emphasis, believing that he played a key role in all three games after his comeback.

Needless to mention the first game, two shots and one pass, and the second assisted the final goal. Today he scored the fastest goal in the Premier League this season. It can be said that he was the only highlight of Liverpool's game.

"Before, you told the media that your goal is Henry last season."

After hearing Benitez's words, Yang Yang nodded.

"Henry scored ten goals in the first nineteen rounds of last season, and the 19th round of this season happened to be before Christmas, so I'll give you a promise. If you can score ten goals after the first half and the team successfully qualifies from the Champions League group stage, then I'll let you have a holiday before Christmas!"

As soon as Benitez finished speaking, the locker room was in an uproar.

During the Christmas holiday, this is definitely a good thing that all Premier League players dream of.

The teammates in the locker room immediately forgot about Reina's mistake just now, turned to envy and even looked at Yang Yang jealously.

That's Christmas holiday!

"Okay, let's make up for one word." Yang Yang said eagerly.

Who is unhappy if there is a holiday?

Besides, this is also a challenge for him.

Yesterdam also came forward to promote it at this time, just that Yunyun, who was very difficult to score ten goals, greatly activated the atmosphere in the locker room, allowing everyone to gradually get out of the shadow of Reiner's mistakes.

Christmas holidays are not uncommon.

Manchester United have always had Christmas holidays. Ferguson always takes time to give players holidays as much as possible, so that they can return to their families around Christmas, and then relax, and play better in the devil's schedule after Christmas and the second half of the league.

Benitez has been in the Premier League for two years. He has always been strict in coaching and never gives players exceptions. However, he has not expected that now he has given Yang Yang a green light. It is not difficult to see his importance to Yang Yang.

After Yang Yang faced the challenge, he quickly noticed the envious look of his teammates. He immediately turned to look at Benitez, "Boss, it's not enough to bet on me alone. Otherwise, the bet is bigger. If I do it, you will give the whole team a vacation, how about it?"

Yang Yang's provocative remarks immediately made everyone in the locker room excited and cheered him.

Gerald and others rushed up and hugged him, looking like a good buddy.

Benitez's face changed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Yesterdam next to him secretly pulled his clothes and nodded slightly at him, as if he was saying that the team's morale was available!

Espanyol is not stupid either. He immediately understood when his mind turned around and secretly said to himself. Fortunately, Yesterdam reminded himself. Otherwise, if he rejected Yang Yang, he would not only miss an opportunity to boost the team's morale, but it might instead cause the players to be frustrated.

"Okay, but scoring ten goals is not enough," Benitez said.

"Then tell me." Gerald shouted after him.

"Yes, boss, tell me!"

The players started to cheer, waiting for the holiday.

Benitez and Yesterdam looked at each other, and neither of them had any experience in this regard.

Finally, the two agreed that as long as the team did not fall out of the top three and maintained its competitiveness against the championship, the team would be given three to four days off after the eighteen rounds. The specific time depends on the situation.

Although there was no way to have a holiday on Christmas Day, everyone was very excited.

As for Yang Yang, he didn't care at all.

Christmas has no meaning to him at all, but it is not as good as the Lunar New Year.

But he was also happy to see his teammates so excited.

However, Yang Yang still did not forget his teammates when he could choose to enjoy the privileges, and resolutely chose to share the joys and sorrows. Many teammates, including Gerald, also looked at him with admiration, and many people thanked him.

"Don't thank me first, I'll have to wait for me to score ten goals and the team will qualify from the Champions League group stage, then there will be a holiday." Yang Yang reminded with a smile.

Gerald and other teammates also expressed their opinions that they would do their best to help him score the goal. Everyone worked together to achieve their goals and get the holiday.

Yang Yang could feel that this time he made a wise choice and was further accepted by his teammates.
