Yang Yang did not play against Wigan Athletics at home, but continued to sit on the bench.

Because he will face two key matches next, and they are both away games.

Benitez made a lot of rotations in this game, and many people were replaced from front to back, which caused the team to not play smoothly, especially in the first half, which can even be said to be a bit bad.

Daniel Ag replaced Scotter in this game. The Danish central defender used a beautiful back row to penetrate the left side of the penalty area in the first half, assisting Kuyt to score, opening the first record for Liverpool.

Then both sides played very stalemate until the second half, Liverpool substitutions one after another.

Yang Yang came on as a substitute Gareth Bale in the 70th minute, and the Welshman's performance in this game improved significantly. Although he still failed to meet the expectations of Liverpool, at least he saw the progress...

Not long after Yang Yang came on the court, he created continuous threats on the left, especially in the 80th minute, Yang Yang cooperated with Gareth Barry on the left. Barry made a comeback from the left side of the penalty area, and Yang Yang shot the ball in the top of the penalty area.

The ball went straight into the lower right corner, which expanded the score for Liverpool, 2-0.

Three minutes later, Pennant assisted Kuyt to win another game, and the Dutch scored twice.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Wigan Athletic three-to-zero at home, continuing to maintain the winning streak in the new season.

...

After the eight rounds, everyone was shocked by Liverpool's stability.

Last season, Liverpool finally maintained the league championship. At the beginning of this season, Benitez's team once again showed a stable offensive and defensive balance and an advantage in overall strength.

With eight wins and eight wins, Liverpool played in every game without any danger and scored steadily.

This also made many British media believe that the Premier League champion this season will probably be the ones that Liverpool has in mind.

However, in this round, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough five-0 away, Arsenal defeated Everton three-to-one at home, Manchester United won West Ham United four-to-zero at home, and all the top four in the Premier League beat their opponents.

As for Manchester City, which has been in the limelight in the summer transfer, this round was tied with Newcastle 2 away with one more person than his opponent.

This also makes people see the limitations of Manchester City again.

At least, if you want to challenge the semi-finals of the Premier League, Blue Moon needs to perform better.

It is reported that Manchester City intends to introduce Kaka during the winter break and is currently in active operation.

After playing this round, the Premier League officially announced that Liverpool's Yang Yang won the Player of the Month in September.

This is the first time he has received this honor this season, and it is his outstanding performance in consecutive goals in September.

Liverpool coach Benitez defeated the top rival, Arsenal coach Wenger, and won the head coach of the month.

Winning two more awards is also a huge encouragement for Liverpool.

…………

On the evening of October 22, the Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool challenged Atletico Madrid away.

This is undoubtedly a key battle to determine the top spot in the group. Whether it is Liverpool or Atletico Madrid, they won in the first two rounds, and the home and away matches in the third and fourth rounds will undoubtedly determine the top spot in the group.

Everyone knows that the first place in the group is not just a ranking, but more importantly, the advantages of the next top 16 opponents.

Liverpool's goal is to draw as the team plays Chelsea in the league next.

This is a very bad schedule. After weighing the trade-offs, Liverpool will keep their strength and focus on playing Chelsea, because the latter is a strong dialogue and away game, which has a great impact on the situation in the Premier League.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool still have a home court.

Contrary to Liverpool's concept, Atletico Madrid has made a determination to win from the beginning, and the two forwards led by Torres and Fran frequently attacked Liverpool.

The Reds invested heavily on the defensive end. The double midfielders led by Mascherano and Xavi Alonso firmly ensured the stability of the team's defense line and resolved Atletico Madrid's offense again and again.

But after fifteen minutes of suffocation, Liverpool began to make efforts.

In the 20th minute, Gerald made a straight pass when counterattacking in the middle, tearing open Atletico Madrid's defense line. Yang Yang quickly inserted it, got the ball, dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area, wiped the central defender Perea, and shot directly, breaking the goal of Atletico Madrid.

Subsequently, Liverpool launched a fierce attack on the bed sheet army, and Gerald, Xavi Alonso and Yang Yang all got shots one after another, suppressing Atletico Madrid on the scene.

The head coach of the Bedsheets Army, Aguirre, also got angry. He directly took down Luis Garcia during the halftime break and replaced Argentine young player Aguero, and played the tactical style of four forwards in front.

For more than ten minutes, Atletico Madrid had the advantage in the scene. Fran made another pass behind him. Torres inserted and pushed the ball into the goal, but the referee signaled an offside. This penalty caused strong controversy.

But in the 61st minute, another straight pass from Gerald. Yang Yang forced himself into the penalty area with his own speed advantage. Before goalkeeper Franco came into the position, he stabbed the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal, 2-0!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"A quick counterattack from Liverpool."

"Mascherano intercepted the ball, Gerrard passed directly, and Yang Yang was like a sharp sharp knife, piercing the Atletico Madrid's defense line in an instant, 2 to zero!"

"Yang Yang scored twice, which is also his fourth goal in the Champions League this season!"

...

But the fans of Calderon Stadium booed the crowd.

No one likes this guy who breaks his goal at his doorstep and then celebrating his goal.

Boos are already the greatest tolerance, and it would be great not to throw his pig's head.

Yang Yang was soon replaced, and Gareth Bale once again came on as the left winger.

Then, Lucasreva also replaced Javi Alonso.

Liverpool made consecutive substitutions to keep their strength for Chelsea on the weekend, while Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to recover a goal in the 83rd minute. Fran made a cross from the edge of the penalty area, and Ximang scored a low shot from the left rib, one-to-two.

In the end, Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 with Yang Yang's double score away.

After the game, Bedsheets Legion head coach Aguirre said with regret that this game allowed Atletico Madrid to see the strength gap between itself and the top European teams, which would allow Atletico Madrid to learn a lot.

Atletico Madrid captain Torres also said in an interview with Spanish media after the game that he has always admired Yang Yang very much.

"He is a very outstanding player, he can run, belt, pass and shoot, and he is very comprehensive. He can cross from the bottom on the left and cut inside. This is a disaster for all defensive players, and he is also the core of Liverpool's offense on the court."

Reuters in the UK also commented immediately after the game, sighing: "Yang Yang is the world's top attacker!"

The Guardian said that Yang Yang teared open Atletico Madrid's defense twice.

"Facts have proved that as long as Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt is operating normally and can create scoring opportunities, Yang Yang is the most terrifying killer on this planet!"

In addition to Yang Yang, Gerald also received unanimous praise and affirmation from the outside world.

Goalkeeper Reina also showed a very high level in this game. The Guardian even used the magical Reina to describe his performance tonight, especially the high block and low connection in the final stage. But what is worrying is that Reina's performance has always lacked stability.

When Liverpool narrowly defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 away, but won a lot of applause, at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London, England, the home team Chelsea narrowly defeated Roma 1-0, but encountered huge controversy.

Roma coach Spalletti publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the result at a post-match press conference.

"Chelsea's only goal-scoring opportunity comes from a set piece in the 77-minute mark!"

The implication of the Roma coach is very obvious. Chelsea won too much luck. Without this free kick, Roma could at least take a draw away from the away game.

Scolari didn't dare to refute this, but just said with a forced smile, "I'm very glad that we won the victory, and we played well, so did Roma. This result will be more beneficial to our away game. At that time, we will adopt a different strategy from today."

The number of shots was seventeen to nine, the ball possession rate was sixty-three to thirty-seven, and the number of corner kicks was five to two. Chelsea had the advantage in all aspects of the data, but what was embarrassing is that Chelsea did not take any advantage in real effective opportunities.

This also made Chelsea's hard-won victory unconvincing.

Scolari said that the reason for the team's sluggish offense was that Drogba was injured, but this obviously could not prove why Maluda performed like a sleepwalking in the first half against Roma, and was replaced by Scolari at midfield early.

Then, even another winger, Kalao, was replaced with Argentine young player Di Santo.

It can be said that Chelsea's offensive problems were fully exposed in this game against Roma, and at this deadly moment, Scolari will usher in Liverpool, whose strength has skyrocketed this season, which is undoubtedly a great test for Chelsea.

The Brazilian head coach said in an interview with the media that the team is ready.

But at the same time, he said helplessly, "The team currently has players including Essin, Drogba, Barack and other players who are injured, which is a huge blow to us. There are very few choices we can make, but we will do our best to beat our opponents at home."

Chelsea's downturn actually highlights Liverpool's current strength.

Benitez's team returned from Madrid, Spain with a reputation. Yang Yang's double score, Gerrard's assist, Xavi Alonso's organization, and Renner's magical performance have made Liverpool more powerful.
