Between the 13th and 14th rounds of the Premier League, FIFA arranged a World Cup qualifier. International players from all continents had to rush back to participate in the game, and the club could not refuse. Novel.

The Chinese team wants to play against Bahrain away, which is also a more important game in the top ten games, so it has also drawn foreign international players.

Since 2005, FIFA has adjusted the World Cup qualifiers system, basically in the mode of attracting and leaving after the fight. There has not been any time to set aside training time before, which will have a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the national team, but it can greatly reduce the consumption and pressure of cross-state internationals.

For example, Chinese international players such as Yang Yang can directly fly to the Middle East from Europe, gather with the team, play Bahrain, and then go directly to Europe from the Middle East and return to their respective teams to play. The process is a bit like playing a Champions League away game in the Middle East such as Israel. The consumption is still very large, but at least it has been much less than before.

Yang Yang and the internationals are not unfamiliar with Bahrain. They have played several games with this team in the past few years. This time, because the internationals traveled a long distance away, the consumption was also high, so the game was still relatively difficult.

But in the end, Yang Yang scored a goal, helping the Chinese team defeat Bahrain 1-0 away.

When Yang Yang returned to Europe from the Middle East, he immediately ushered in the 14th round of the Premier League.

…………

Influenced by the Chinese national team game in the week, all the strong teams played very badly in this round.

Chelsea drew with Newcastle at home by zero.

Manchester United drew with Aston Villa away from zero.

Arsenal lost 0-3 away to Manchester City.

All three strong teams encountered setbacks in the same round, and they both lost points.

Among them, Arsenal's away defeat to Manchester City was the most surprising. No one expected that the Gunners would lose so miserably, which shows that Wenger's team has really had serious problems.

It is also surprising that Manchester United failed to win Aston Villa, because the Red Devils' previous results against Aston Villa were quite good, but they didn't expect to win this time, and the game was very dull.

In contrast, Liverpool's situation is much better than the other three strong teams.

The same is affected by the national team game and the same players are running back and forth, but Liverpool has more European players, and the injury situation has been well controlled this season. So far, the staff is relatively uniform and there are more choices for the arrangement.

For example, in this game against Fulham, Benitez excluded Mascherano, who returned to South America to participate in the national team competition, and also kept Yang Yang, Gerald, Xavi Alonso and others who played all over the game and put them on the bench.

The other three top three will not only play in the 14th round of the Premier League on the weekend, but will also play in the Champions League in the middle of the week, but Liverpool is much more relaxed, because after four consecutive Champions League wins, the team has already advanced in advance, with almost no pressure, and there is no problem with Liverpool giving up.

In this case, Liverpool can focus on the league and put players in the best form and physical fitness in the game against Fulham.

But even so, Liverpool still encountered Fulham's tenacious sniper during the game.

The team had the advantage throughout the game and even used their home court. In the first twenty minutes, Fulham could not even score a shot, but he could never break through Fulham's goal.

Until the 75th minute of the second half, Yang Yang came on the bench. Eight minutes later, after cooperating with Aurelio on the left, Aurelio gave a ball behind him. Yang Yang quickly penetrated the penalty area and formed a single shot after stopping the ball. He used a skilled pendulum to pass by Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer and scored in the empty goal.

One to zero!

Liverpool finally defeated Fulham by 1-0 with Yang Yang's goal.

...

The score is not big, but the significance is extremely obvious.

With Chelsea and Manchester United both encountering draws and Arsenal's away defeat, Liverpool can stand out, narrowly defeat the opponent in the dilemma and score three points, which is enough for the Reds to expand the gap in points again.

Due to his previous loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool's lead was once narrowed. After this expansion, Liverpool led Chelsea, which was as many as six points, and eleven more points than Manchester United, which was third.

As for Arsenal, it has only scored 23 points, down by as many as 19 points.

In an interview with the media after the game, head coach Wenger publicly stated that the Gunners have withdrawn from the championship competition and the goal is to retain the top four. He believes that Liverpool is the team with the greatest hope of winning the championship, but we must be careful of Ferguson's Manchester United.

"Mar United is best at winter breaks and the second half. Liverpool must overcome its chronic problems in the past few seasons."

Wenger also focused on Yang Yang, believing that Yang Yang's ability to overcome the challenge of the Premier League winter break is crucial to Liverpool's ability to win the championship, and more importantly...

"If he wants to conquer the Premier League, he must perform better during Christmas and winter breaks."

...

When Yang Yang was interviewed by the media, he also agreed with Wenger's statement very much.

"There is no doubt that Christmas in the Premier League is the most challenging schedule. I haven't been able to perform well in this period of time in the past two years, but I feel that I'm ready this year."

Benitez also expressed his trust in Yang Yang, and even revealed that in order to better prepare for the Christmas schedule, Yang Yang not only changed his training during the summer preparations, but also kept adjusting the training events during the season.

"He is the most ethical player I have ever worked with. I never need to worry about whether he will do his best or be self-disciplined, because he is always full of hunger and desire to win, and I am full of confidence in him."

After playing Fulham, the Champions League was ushered in the middle of the week.

Liverpool played against Marseille at home, and Benitez adjusted the team. In the end, with the goal of Xavi Alonso assisting Gerrard in the 23rd minute, he defeated the Ligue 1 team 1-0.

With five consecutive wins in the group stage, Liverpool is still quite dominant in the Champions League.

...

The 15th round of the Premier League on the weekend.

This is another difficult game.

Manchester United just played Villarrell away from home in mid-week. The two teams were red-faced in order to compete for the first place in the group, but the Red Devils never failed to defeat Pellegrini's team.

The two teams currently have the same points, but Manchester United leads with a goal difference advantage, but this is indeed quite unsafe for the Red Devils. Once they rank second in the group, it will be extremely unfavorable to Manchester United's Champions League trend.

Manchester United's offensive ability has also been questioned, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's condition has become very unstable.

He can score twice in two consecutive games, but when the team needs him, he can not score continuously. This is very bad. So after returning to the Premier League, he played Manchester City away in the 15th round and ushered in the Manchester derby war, and the Portuguese's mood finally couldn't hold on.

On the one hand, Yang Yang has been in a state of unstoppable since the start of this season, and on the other hand, he is in a poor state, especially in this Manchester derby, Manchester United has an overwhelming advantage and completely suppressed Manchester City.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Carrick scored a long shot, but after being saved by goalkeeper Johart, Rooney scored a short shot and broke the deadlock on the court.

After the second half of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo became more and more impatient. In less than ten minutes, he first fouled Wright Phillips and received a yellow card. Then he fouled the handball while competing for a corner kick. He was turned into a red one and sent off the court directly, causing Manchester United to lose one less player in the next half hour.

In the end, Manchester United narrowly beat Manchester City 1-0 away.

But after the game, Ronaldo's red card caused huge controversy. Most British media believe that the Portuguese is still very immature. Whether it is emotional control or concentration during the game, it is unreliable. It is undoubtedly difficult to compete with Yang Yang for the European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer with such performance.

Many British tabloids even joked that this was a smashed version of God's hand.

...

In the highlight of this round, Chelsea ushered in another strong dialogue, but lost at home again, losing one-two to the Gunners Arsenal. This is Chelsea's three consecutive home games to the Premier League semi-finals.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong has almost become the label of Scolari's team.

The Blues were able to defeat the weak brigade, but suffered a crushing defeat in all three strong dialogues, which was definitely very fatal.

Liverpool played against West Ham United at home in this round. Just six minutes into the game, Yang Yang made a cross from the left, and West Ham United defender Yilunga made a handball foul, but the referee refused to award a penalty, because Yilunga used his hands to protect his face.

After Liverpool protested slightly, he also accepted the referee's explanation.

Just three minutes later, Yang Yang made a cross from the left, and Yilunga's close-range handball again. This time the referee was aware of it and directly awarded a yellow card and a penalty.

Yang Yang took the initiative to give in. He didn't like to punish penalty kicks. Gerrard calmly and scored a goal for Liverpool.

This is also the only goal in the game.

Liverpool finally defeated West Ham United by 1-0 and scored another three-pointer.

...

After the fifteenth round of the game, Liverpool ranked first in the Premier League with 42 points.

Chelsea lost this round and was still 33 points, nine points behind Liverpool.

Although it is temporarily ranked second, in fact, everyone thinks that Chelsea's chances of winning the championship are very small, because after December, it will usher in Manchester United's traditional advantage period, and the Red Devils start to make efforts every year from December.

Moreover, with such a bad conversation with Chelsea this season, it is very unlikely to win the championship.

Manchester United won Manchester City, ranking third with 31 points, and the Gunners ranked fourth with 26 points.

...

After playing the 15th round of the Premier League, the quarterfinals of the League Cup will be held in the midweek.

But just before the race, on the first day of December, a flight from Paris, France slowly landed at Manchester Airport.

Dennis Shaumier, the new editor-in-chief of French Football Magazine, and the royal photographer, appeared in Manchester in a hurry.
