v4 Chapter 585： I believe in him!

The ups and downs of professional players are regular.

Liverpool's mad start this season has worked very well. The league's six consecutive victories and the European Super Cup victory over Sevilla are the best proof that this allowed Liverpool to lead the Premier League standings from the beginning.

After the six rounds, the Red Army ranked first in the standings with 18 points.

Arsenal, after Liverpool, only scored 14 points, four points behind Liverpool.

Further on, Manchester City scored 12 points, Manchester United scored 11 points, and Chelsea scored only 10 points.

The Blues had an unsatisfactory start to the season, which also led to the rumor that the outside world has been rumored, and Mourinho is likely to end the class.

However, there are pros and cons from the beginning.

The advantage is that the advantage is laid first, but the disadvantage is that with the intensive schedule, especially the national team and the Champions League, the player's state will inevitably fluctuate and decline, especially when the injury strikes.

After playing Portsmouth, Liverpool's fatigue is already very obvious. If it was not Yang Yang's goal in the 83rd minute, this game may eventually be a zero-to-zero draw.

But even so, Liverpool still had to usher in injuries after the game.

Harvey Alonso, Lisse and Mohamed Sissoko will all miss the Champions League midweek, and even the seventh round of the weekend.

The absence of the three generals has had a very big impact on Liverpool.

Benitez had to take a four-for-two formation in the midweek match against Porto.

In the front field, Yang Yang and Kuyt's double forward combination was discharged. In the midfield, Pennant, Gerrard, Mascherano and Aurelio partnered, and the back line was Finnan, Carragher, and Hai. Pia and Aveloa, the goalkeeper is Reina.

As Portugal's top strong team, Porto not only has excellent technical ability, strong transmission and control ability, and even has done a good job of pressing at home. Coach Ferreira has specially arranged for Yang Yang.

From the beginning of the game, Porto launched a fierce attack on Liverpool and constantly created opportunities.

Especially in the eighth minute, Reina made another mistake when he attacked. In a late step, he knocked down Porto striker Sektioi and was sentenced to capital punishment by the Slovak referee.

Porto took the lead with a penalty in eight minutes.

In the first ten minutes, Liverpool didn't even have a shot.

The Champions League defending champion was forced to be so embarrassed, the Red Army state can be said to be a collective downturn.

Yang Yang still played very **** the court, because he only played for half an hour in the weekend league, his physical fitness is still relatively good, and his condition is relatively good.

But in front of Porto, especially on the road, Liverpool's overall downturn, it is difficult for Yang Yang to change the situation alone, because he cannot change the state of his teammates.

Fortunately, the team's defense is still very well organized. Mascherano, as always, has played a key role in the midfield. This has caused Liverpool's collective downturn, but Porto has not been able to make it on the offensive end. Threat.

Yang Yang also began to patiently look for opportunities in the front, and in the 37th minute of the first half, Aurelio sent a left-footed cross pass, Yang Yang quickly plugged in and grabbed before Bosingwa, The chest stopped the ball to the front. He drove the ball into the penalty area by himself, forcibly broke through, and passed the ball with a low left foot to the middle.

Kuyt catches up, pushes the ball calmly in front of the goal, and sends the ball into the goal, one to one!

But the good news is that just three minutes after the second half, Pennant unnecessarily shoveled the opponent's defender from the side and back during a frontcourt, and the referee showed the second yellow card in the field. Red card sent off.

This made Benitez extremely dissatisfied on the sidelines, and Liverpool players on the court were also hit hard.

The second half has just begun, just come out like this?

Soon, Benitez had to make a substitution and replaced Kuyt with Lucas Reiva. Gerrard was pulled to the right. Lucas Reva and Mascherano partnered in the middle. .

Yang Yang was at the forefront.

…………

…………

Looking at a long pass from Liverpool, sent to the frontcourt, Yang Yang was caught between the two defenders in Porto, desperately trying to grab the landing point, but the result was still not robbed, and returned without success, full of face depressed When going back, the assistant coach Paco Yesterdan shook his head helplessly in front of the visiting team coach.

"He was never suitable to be at the forefront."

After the second half started, Yang Yang felt lonely on the court.

He worked very hard, very diligently, and his desire to win was very strong, but he fell into a difficult position.

Because Liverpool really can't help him too much.

"It's all the **** red card!" Benitez gritted his teeth.

The Spanish coach was really angry. When Pennant was off the court, he even didn't even walk over to comfort him. He didn't even look at him. He made him roll back to the locker room.

Yesterdam nodded, he understood Benitez's situation and knew his helplessness.

That early red card hit Liverpool too much.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool only had a two-foot shot. Yang Yang's assist helped Kuyt push the goal and break the goal. It can be said that Liverpool played very tenaciously.

Every team will usher in the peak and trough of the state. Liverpool are now in the trough. It is really good to have the performance of the first half, but Benitez is still rubbing his hands in the midfield. Want to reverse the opponent in the second half.

But whoever thought that, in the first three minutes, Pennant came off the red card.

In this case, Benitez has few choices and can only choose to defend.

But as a result, the team's offensive pressure is all on Yang Yang.

"Hopefully he can carry it." Yestdan said anxiously.

Benitez grabbed a stubborn lips and chin and nodded hard: "I believe him!"

His eyes on the court were full of firmness.

…………

…………

Porto has the advantage, but in fact, there are not many opportunities for real and threatening shots.

Quares was very active on the left in the first half, creating a lot of corner opportunities for Porto, but suddenly switched to the right in the second half, which is Liverpool's left. I want to try to play Avello side.

The characteristics of Aveloya are balance and stability, there is no obvious advantage, but there will not be too many omissions.

There is no opportunity for both sides. The lack of a strong center in the middle, plus Mascherano sitting at the front of the restricted area, Porto lacks effective penetration of the middle, making it difficult for the Portuguese super giants to create a threat.

Benitez's training in Liverpool in the past few years, especially the establishment of a defensive system, has been quite successful.

One side is passive, one side cannot create opportunities, and this stalemate has been maintained.

Time passed quickly, and seventy-five minutes passed unconsciously.

Liverpool are still suppressed in the half, and even Yang Yang, who is at the forefront, has to retreat through the center line to respond. It is not difficult to guess how embarrassed the scene is.

Porto can't beat for a long time, but he is still a little impatient.

After all, here is their home court, and there is one more person than their opponents, so naturally they want to win.

But Yang Yang is like a sharp dagger, pointing at them far away, so that they dare not have the slightest slack, the coach Ferreira is asking the back defense can not be careless.

God knows, when did Yang Yang get the chance, it suddenly broke out?

When Yang Yang retreated, Porto's central defender would not keep up, but handed over the task of marking Yang Yang to Meireles and Asuncion in the midfield, which is also considered to take into account the gap behind him.

If the central defender also followed, at the speed of Yang Yang, Liverpool passed behind with a big foot, Porto disarmed.

But as a result, when Yang Yang frequently runs back and forth between halfback and midfield, looking for opportunities, Porto players will inevitably have a slight gap when they are defensively handed over.

In the 78th minute, Yang Yang ran back from the front again and raised his hand high for the ball.

Meirelles paid attention to Yang Yang, but did not expect that Yang Yang retreated a little deeper this time.

Aurelio quickly passed the ball.

The Portuguese midfielder quickly caught up from the side and rear, glanced at Aurelio's pass, directly a sliding shovel, trying to steal before Yang Yang and destroy the ball.

But Yang Yang also reacted quickly, knowing that if the ball was stopped, he would definitely be cut off, so he took the first step and took the ball gently behind him, avoiding the shovel of Meirelles.

The ball seemed to have heard Yang Yang's instructions, and crossed Merelles' right foot and body and landed on the area behind him. Yang Yang quickly turned around, started quickly, and directly caught up.

Porto realized the danger and right-back Bruno Alves wanted to rush towards Yang Yang for the first time.

But unexpectedly, Yang Yang started faster and caught up with the ball first.

The Portuguese central defender has a lot of experience. When he judged that he could not catch up with Yang Yang, he quickly attached to the inside of Yang Yang, rushed with him all the way to the restricted area, and tried his best to block all the shooting angles of Yang Yang.

In the exclamation of the fans in the audience, Yang Yang led the ball all the way from the left side into the penalty area, but Bruno Alves's defensive experience is also very rich. Following him all the way, he will never easily move and has not been dumped by him opened.

But Yang Yang is no longer Yang Yang.

With his current ability, facing the defensive player, even if you are not leaking, he must do everything possible to create loopholes.

As a result, Yang Yang deliberately dribble the ball with his right foot, and when he rushed into the penalty area, there was a move in his left foot that seemed to lift.

This immediately tricked Bruno Alves into being fooled and blocked the ball directly, but Yang Yang turned the ball forward with his right foot.

Seeing that the opponent had counted, Yang Yang was about to get rid of, but Bruno Alves shot very tenaciously, and grabbed Yang Yang's right foot arm and shoulder.

This led Yang Yang to take another step.

The two caught up again at the same time, but Yang Yang's speed was still a little faster than Bruno Alves.

His attention fell on Porto goalkeeper Nuno.
