On the evening of November 6, Anfield Stadium.

In the fourth round of the Champions League Group A group stage, Liverpool faces Besiktas at home.

Before the game, everyone thought that it would be a tough game.

Liverpool has been in poor form recently and the team has suffered many injuries. Although Xavi Alonso has returned, the Spanish midfielder is not in his best condition. Pennant on the right and veteran Finnan have been injured, which has caused a shortage of manpower on the right.

Kuyt fought continuously and was very tired, so Benitez arranged for him to rotate.

In the midfield, although Mohamed Sissoko did not express his attitude to the outside world, rumors about his departure during the winter break are endless, and neither the players nor the club have come forward to clarify. Obviously, this is gradually becoming a reality.

In this case, everyone concluded that Liverpool would usher in a tough battle at home.

Benitez's lineup is not surprising either.

Goalkeeper Renner, the defense line is Aurerio, Hypia, Carragher and Aveloa.

Although veteran Hypia makes frequent mistakes this season, the central defender position is currently short of staff, so he can only continue to rely on this veteran.

The midfielder once again arranged an iron triangle combination, with Mascherano and Xavi Alonso partnering with two midfielders, and Gerald suddenly stepped forward.

This is also the first time that Liverpool has lined up this strongest midfielder after Xavi Alonso was injured.

In the offensive trident in the frontcourt, Yang Yang still appeared on the left, Crouch was in the center, and when Kuyt took a rest on the right and Pennant was injured, Benitez arranged for Bernardon.

The Israeli player performed well in the League Cup a week ago and also played well in the weekend when he played Blackburn, so the game continued to let him, rather than Volonin.

...

Although Liverpool's game was home, the start was mainly stable.

Benitez's intention is also very obvious. Xavi Alonso is not in his best condition yet and needs to slowly enter the game rhythm. The lineup has rotated multiple players and needs to be slowly adjusted.

On the contrary, Türkiye's Besiktas played very positively from the beginning, which was very meaningful to be the dominant one.

After the game started, the Turks pressed and pressed against the frontcourt very fiercely. Liverpool started with a slow pace, a little passive, and was soon threatened by Besiktas.

Just three minutes into the opening game, the Turks created a dangerous situation in front of Liverpool's goal.

Through a quick counterattack, Besiktas midfielder Sedev drove straight into the ball and broke into Liverpool's penalty area and shot, but under the interference of Carragher, the shot slightly missed the post.

Liverpool's goal.

Besiktas started off smoothly, and this time the offense made the first shot in the game, which was a big move. He did not retreat very far, but was preparing to grab the goal and launch an offensive again.

Renner was obviously very clear about the intentions of the Besiktas player. He directly took the goal and went to the frontcourt to find Crouch.

The English center was tall and powerful, and seized the advantage of the first landing point and headed the ball behind Besiktas's defense.

Yang Yang on the left suddenly threw away the defensive player and inserted diagonally behind Besiktas' defense at an extremely fast speed. He was like a sharp arrow off the string, easily shooting through Besiktas' defense, and before everyone, he caught up with Crouch's header at the front of the penalty area.

The next thing is simple.

After Yang Yang stopped the ball, he entered the penalty area. A wonderful pendulum was extraordinary. He drifted past the goalkeeper who shot and scored in the empty goal, opening the first record for Liverpool, one-to-zero!

Just three minutes into the game, Liverpool broke through Besiktas' goal.

The entire Anfield Stadium was shouting Yang Yang's name, and they all knew very well that this goal might open the door to victory for the team.

...

After taking the lead, Liverpool did not increase its offensive.

Liverpool is slowly working on it and slowly looking for its own game rhythm.

But despite this, the advantages in the scene are becoming more and more obvious.

In the 12th minute, Aveloa quickly inserted from the right, crossed the defense line behind him, and Benardon inserted into the right corner of the penalty area and shot on the side net, almost scoring again.

Benitez on the sidelines also realized the tactical weakness of Besiktas.

The Turkish team lined up a Christmas tree formation similar to AC Milan, 4321, and gathered heavy troops in the middle road. This was originally for defense, but the problem lies here.

After the middle of the road, the side road will inevitably be empty, and even a strong AC Milan cannot change this situation.

More importantly, once Liverpool's midfield shows strong pressure, the 4321 formation will easily lead to disconnection between front and back courts.

AC Milan has suffered such a loss, and now it is Besiktas' turn.

So, after seeing this, Benitez began to ask the team to actively play on both wings and give full play to Crouch's advantage in the middle.

And this adjustment worked quickly.

In the 19th minute, Aurerio dribbled the ball from the left and cooperated with Yang Yang. Yang Yang dribbled the ball and rushed out of the defense, passed the ball low to the penalty area, and handed it to Crouch. The English center blocked the defender with his body. After stopping the ball with his right foot, he turned around and shot directly to the left foot, and broke through Besiktas' goal again.

Two to zero!

The enthusiasm of more than 50,000 fans at the scene was completely ignited!

Everyone began to realize that Liverpool was becoming very different tonight.

...

Just three minutes before Crouch scored, Aveloya made a cross from the right to the back point of the penalty area. Yang Yang quickly inserted, jumped to the top and headed the ball, but goalkeeper Alikan flew to save the ball.

Corner kick!

Aurerio took the corner kick himself and quickly tied the ball to the front point.

Yang Yang used his teammates' cover and cooperation to run out of the gap. Without anyone to guard the front point, he didn't even take off. He headed the ball from close range and sent the ball into Besiktas' goal.

Three to zero!

Scoring twice!

All Liverpool fans were shouting Yang Yang's name wildly. They were so excited and so excited!

The Liverpool players on the court also seemed very excited because they all began to find that the team was getting smoother and smoother.

Crouch suppressed the opponent's central defender in the front, Yang Yang and Aurerio's left side were the main attack points, and Benardon and Aveloa's right side were responsible for assisting and echoing, which made the team's frontcourt offense very active.

But the biggest difference from the previous games is that the midfield firmly controls the situation and rhythm, especially the distribution of ball rights, becomes more reasonable, and the team's offense is smoother.

Xavi Alonso is gradually regaining his best form. His distribution of ball rights, control of the game rhythm, and sorting out the midfield organization are unsold in the current Liverpool team.

Gerrard is the team's unknown hero. He doesn't seem to be involved in the offense. But in fact, the double midfielder combination of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano released Gerrard. The Liverpool captain ran and supported a large range of runs and support in the midfield, paving the way and bridges the teammates and pulling the defense line. It seems unknown, but it played a key role.

It can be said that at this time, the team led by three goals, and the team's offense became smoother and smoother. Everyone began to realize that the invincible Liverpool team at the beginning of the season was back.

This makes Liverpool players more confident.

...

When the game reached the 32nd minute, Liverpool created an outbound ball opportunity on the left.

Aurelio quickly threw the outbound ball, Yang Yang blocked the defensive player with his body. After stopping the ball, he flexibly dunked a defensive player, and then used his own strength to break through one-on-one, and then crossed to the back point in the penalty area.

Bena on the right ran out of the gap, quickly penetrated the penalty area from the right rib, and shot from close range, scoring four to zero!

Three minutes later, Gerald made a straight pass from the middle, and Crouch suddenly made a cold arrow and the shot was blocked.

In the 41st minute, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough and made a cross from the left, and Benayon shot high from the right.

Then, Yang Yang took a free kick outside the penalty area, but failed to hit the target.

However, before the first half was about to end, Aurerio made a diagonal pass from the left, Crouch headed back, and Yang Yang followed up and volleyed with his right foot, sending the ball into Besiktas' goal again.

Five to zero!

hat trick!

After Yang Yang scored the goal, he rushed out of the court with excitement.

Everyone in the audience was cheering his name.

Hat trick, two assists!

All Liverpool fans, players, coaches and staff all clearly realized that the outbreak Yang Yang mentioned before was finally here!

Liverpool has been in a downturn for more than a month, and it is really necessary to have such a hearty victory to vent the team's sluggish period and stimulate the team's condition.

In the first half, he scored a hat trick and gave two assists. Yang Yang proved with facts that as long as the team is in good shape and can create a steady stream of opportunities for him, he can score more goals.

…………

…………

Entering the halftime break with a five-to-zero lead, Benitez was very satisfied with the team's performance, and also reminded the team to continue to strengthen their suppression of their opponents, especially on both sides.

After the second half of the game, Yang Yang quickly made a contribution on the left side.

This time, Yang Yang did not take a kick in person, but cooperated with Aurerio who was inserted behind him. After using his dribbling to attract the attention of the defensive attention, he suddenly cut in and made a straight pass. The Brazilian left defender broke into the penalty area and shot and made a shot.

Six to zero!

Goals and assists, double hats!

After Aurerio scored the goal, he quickly turned around and rushed to the stadium stands with excitement.

But the unlucky Brazilian player was knocked to the ground by Yang Yang who was running up.

It seems that Yang Yang is more excited than him.

Even he himself did not expect that this game would go so smoothly. Besiktas could be said to be defeated and Liverpool's offense would be as good as he could.

More importantly, the midfield created too many opportunities.

This is completely different from the previous games.

Whether it was playing against Blackburn or earlier, it was difficult for Yang Yang to get several decent opportunities in a game, and it was already difficult for him to seize one of them.

Sometimes he even had to find ways to create opportunities by himself, which consumed a lot of energy.

But tonight, Liverpool's midfielder had an overwhelming advantage.
Chapter completed!
