Things on October 26th, 19:30 pm.

It is almost winter, and the weather is a bit cold, especially with a little rain, which is chilly, but it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the fans.[]

Although there is a large area of ​​Anfield Stadium, the attendance rate is at least 7%. Especially when you see many fans buying tickets outside, you can predict that the attendance rate of this game will be very high.

Although it was just a League Cup match against the fourth-level league team, the fans still paid great attention. Many media have even arranged for reporters to come to the scene, and the TV station also gave them live broadcasts. Only Liverpool can have such treatment.

Long before the game, the outside world had already disclosed that in this game, Yang Cheng would arrange a large number of youth team players to start to win a chance to recover for the main players of the first team. After the team finished the game on Saturday, the suspension of training for two consecutive days on Sunday and Monday undoubtedly confirmed this.

Judging from the starting list announced by Liverpool before the game, Joe Hart serves as the starting goalkeeper, with the defenses being Gareth Bale, Rodwell, Martin Kelly and Wolnooker, Spirin, Aaron Ramsey and Jordan Henderson respectively, and the two wingers are Walcott, Ashavin, and the center is Carroll.

From the starting list, we can see that Yang Cheng has decided to play in this game in the youth team players, and many local Liverpool fans also want to see how strong this group of children cultivated from their own youth training are.

This has attracted considerable attention from this League Cup match, and even the media and TV stations have paid great attention. Ban Lete, who is difficult to enjoy the live broadcast of the TV station, is even more excited about this.

Also excited are this group of young kids. Some of them are only 5 years old, but they have played many games in the Youth FA Cup and cup matches of all ages. Liverpool is also actively playing against youth teams from other countries, so they do not lack experience.

What's more, their opponent in this game is just a professional team at the lowest level.

What really makes them excited is the head coach, Yang Cheng.

"Don't be too excited, boys!"

In the locker room, Yang Cheng swept over the group of little ghosts and said with a smile.

That being said, but few dared to laugh. The only thing that is careless is a relatively arrogant Liverpool local player. Jay Spirin is the captain of the Liverpool U19 team. He is very short, only 1.68 meters tall and is not tall, but he is a defensive player. He said that his idol is Davis.

"Although the opponent is only a team in the fourth-level league, you should not be careless at all. You must pay attention to controlling the rhythm during the game, incorporate the game into our rhythm from the beginning, and use our technical advantages to control your opponents. Don't make unnecessary physical contact with them, do you understand?"

The players nodded together.

Following the train, this group of Liverpool's young players have sufficient technical advantages.

Generally speaking, the technology has been established at around the age of 12. What is next to progress is the application of technology. In the past two years, this group of players have maintained rapid progress in the scientific training system of Monitz and Murenstin, which has improved their ability to use technology and become more and more flexible.

It can be said that compared with other youth teams on the European continent, this team may still have a certain technical gap, but it is no longer so obvious. Moreover, with the accumulation of game experience and the improvement of confrontational ability, this gap will become smaller and smaller, and even surpass the opponent.

"I'll watch you from the side of the court, guys, show your best side, impress me, and convince me to keep you on the first team!"

As soon as I think of the first team, all of these kids feel a little hot.

How many young people in today's football world don't want to play under Yang Cheng?

The game went surprisingly smoothly. Just 4 minutes into the game, Ashawen created a free kick in the frontcourt in a personal breakthrough on the right, and then the Russian Tsar's indirect free kick helped Carol score the first record for Liverpool in the penalty area like a dry land.

"This kid is very good!" Benitez praised.

"Kirke's eyes are like a knife for the scouts in the youth training camp!" Paul Baier praised.

At least after the reform of the youth training camp, the group of rookies they introduced were very good.

Yang Cheng laughed and scolded: "Do you think that all the money was thrown into the sea?"

Net investment of more than 5 million euros per year, but all of this money is spent in the youth training system, scouts, training facilities, coaching staff configuration, etc., are all the best and most scientific.

Not just these hardware facilities, in terms of software, Yang Cheng pays great attention to cultivating the atmosphere, pays attention to technology and offense, and focuses on tapping the creativity of players. In addition, he has opened a channel from Kirkby Youth Training Academy to Melwood Training Base, allowing young players to see hope.

All of this is undoubtedly an important reason for the success of Liverpool's youth training camp today.

Of course, the most important thing is money. After Chelsea digs out Aneson, they also spend a large sum of money every year to use it for youth training camps. Now the Blues' youth training is also very good. Excellent rookies such as Mikel, Carlton, Cole, etc. all come from there.

As the game started smoothly, this Liverpool youth guard team became more active and began to relax their nervousness and showed their more advantageous side, namely technology and ball control.

Even a player like Jay Spirin, who is known for running, defense and interception, is very aggressive, but he is also very good at passing skills. He has good skills in long passes and short passes. With his frequent cooperation, his ability to run and support Henderson and Ramsey is also very good. The organizational awareness and passing ability of the latter two are also very eye-catching, helping Liverpool firmly control the midfield and creating offensive opportunities for his teammates in front of him again and again.

In the 21st minute, Walcott made a cross after a quick breakthrough on the left. Henderson inserted a long shot in the back row, and once again penetrated Banliet's goal, rewriting the score to 20

The Liverpool youth team, which was playing at home, was in a state of unstoppable momentum, and Ban Leit also began to shrink its defense.

Due to physical disadvantages, this youth team is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of breakthrough density. However, they still use their skills to create opportunities again and again, especially in the 43rd minute, Banret's Filinelli elbowed Carol and was sent off by the referee's red card.

After the second half of the game, Liverpool's youth team continued to fight against Ban Lete, who had one less player, and in the 59th and 71st minutes, Ashavin and Martin Kelly scored two goals, helping Liverpool defeat Ban Lete 4-0, and won the first victory in the League Cup.

After this game, Yang Cheng praised the team's young players.

"Our group of young players have shown good things they have learned in the game and helped the team enter the top 16 of the League Cup. I think their performance is really good, and I also hope to see more young players emerge in the future."

"Why did I arrange for the starter of the young players?" Yang Cheng smiled and answered with a smile. "I hope that the young players will feel that they are constantly improving. I hope that they can feel the trust and encouragement of the team and the coaching staff in them. The door of the first team has not been closed to them."

"For these young players, the most important thing is to establish their ambitions and self-confidence, rather than letting them blindly participate in youth team games and reserve team games. So I will arrange for them to participate in Melwood's training more, observe their usual performance, provide guidance and improvements, and I hope they can continue to improve."

"I feel very relieved because these players have not disappointed me. We will continue to move forward in the League Cup, League and Champions League. I hope to win on multiple fronts!"

After this game, the media in England praised the young guards of Liverpool and also praised Yang Cheng's ambitions in the interview after the game and affirmed Liverpool's performance.

But who knows how far can you go?

In the 11th round of the league, after a week of rest, players led by Drogba, Ronaldo and others recovered first, and in the home match against West Ham United, they beat the Hammers 4:0.

Although Chelsea defeated Blackburn 4-2 at home, the Blues clearly felt the strong pressure from Liverpool.

Arsenal drew 1:1 away with Tottenham, and Manchester United lost 1:4 away by Middlesbrough. These two teams gradually widened the gap with Chelsea and Liverpool.

Although only 11 rounds have passed, everyone believes that the Premier League champion this season will fall between Chelsea and Liverpool.

In November, Liverpool is visiting Portugal and challenged Benfica away.

After 90 minutes of hard game, the Reds defeated Benfica 1-0 away with Ronaldo's key goal and won two consecutive Champions League group stage wins.

Villarreal returned to the Spanish Love Song Stadium and defeated Juventus 1-0 with Riquelme's goal.

In this way, after the battle, Liverpool ranked first in the group with 8 points, Villarre ranked second with 6 points, Juventus fell all the way with the defeat in three rounds, falling to the third place in the group, and Benfica continued to fall at the bottom of the group.

Two days later, Liverpool continued to adhere to its rotation policy, and Yang Cheng continued to rotate the team. Although he encountered tenacious resistance from Aston Villa on the away game, in the last 0 minutes, Gerald, who came on the bench, made a pass and shot, helping Liverpool beat Aston Villa 20 away game.

After this game, Gerrard was praised by the whole of England, while the captain of Liverpool said modestly that the reason why he performed well after he came on the bench was because Yang Cheng reminded him of his offensive direction after he came on the court before he came on the court.

"He asked me to follow Larson and stare at the gap between the opponent's two centre-backs. As a result, I did as I did, so I scored the first goal. As for the second goal, I was not selfless, but because my shooting angle was blocked, I chose to pass it to Henrik, and he also scored the goal."

After a loss, Liverpool chased and won two consecutive victories, leaving the pressure to Chelsea, who played one day later than Liverpool.

However, after the game against Aston Villa, Yang Cheng smiled and said that he was optimistic about Manchester United's victory at Old Trafford Stadium.

"I don't think Ferguson will allow his team to suffer two consecutive losses. I would rather believe that losing 1-4 to Middlesbrough was an accident. But when I returned to home, the Red Devils would defend their dignity to the death."

I believe there will be many reporters who are secretly happy at the scene. When Yang Cheng said this, he didn't know if he had ever thought about it. He had beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium.

But this guy didn't reflect on his words at all and took the initiative to give advice for Manchester United.

"Chelsea's overall strength is very strong, but I think this strength is more reflected in the stability of the defense. However, Chelsea this season has lacked stability than last season. I think this is because they have hoarded a large number of top stars within the team, resulting in internal conflicts."

The reason why Yang Cheng refused to sign players this season is to balance his playing time. After all, the players he introduced are at least powerful, and it is unreasonable not to give him playing time. If he introduces rookies, it would be better to promote Kirkby's children.

But Chelsea is not currently accumulating many top stars on the front line, including Shevchenko, Crespo, Good Johnson, etc., and the same is true in the midfield and backcourt, which makes the competition within their team reach a level of even tragic. There has been a storm about Crespo and Mourinho having a dispute.

Later, Yang Cheng also gave his own suggestions from a practical tactical perspective. He believed that Chelsea's tactics were too focused on defensive counterattacks and always used his own defense to get rid of the opponent's attack, so it is very important to score goals first.

"Whenever Chelsea scored by their opponents first, they would seem at a loss. This was the case at Anfield Stadium, and the same was true for Real Betis away in the fourth leg of the Champions League group stage. I believe that if Manchester United can score first, this game will be easier."

"How to score?" Yang Cheng laughed. "I think pulling Chelsea's defense horizontally and making full use of their loopholes on the two sides to create articles. Then they will find that Chelsea's defense is actually not terrible!"

I don't know why this guy's words always give people a feeling of gloating, but given his team's 4-1 victory over Chelsea, his words still caused a lot of trouble.

Mourinho seemed very angry after hearing Yang Cheng's remarks.

"Every team will have some problems, that's for sure. Is there no problem with Liverpool? No team can guarantee that they won't lose points in a season. We're just having a little trouble at the moment. I don't think it will have much impact on us."

"If Yang Cheng feels that his remarks will put pressure on us, then I should thank him because I believe my team will perform better under pressure, because we are full of top players, and they should accomplish great things and take on more responsibilities."

After counterattacking Yang Cheng, Mourinho also commented on Chelsea himself.

"Our team did encounter some problems, which is normal, but I never think that the investment of large funds is the reason for Chelsea's success. F-racing's approach to spending money to get good results is not feasible in football. At least I can't see how successful Real Madrid and Barcelona are. They spend so much money every year to enter football, but they have won a championship over the years."

"Chelsea spent a lot of money in Roman's first season and still couldn't win the championship. So whether a team can win the championship is not how much money they invest in the transfer market, but whether they have enough combat power and spiritual will. I think Chelsea is doing very well in both aspects at present."

Mourinho is not too high-profile about the game itself.

"Neither of our teams is in a good situation now, but we haven't lost many games. All of the previous encounters will only make the game between us more difficult, so I believe it will be a high-level competition."

"Predictions of the game?" Mourinho couldn't help but fight back against Yang Cheng, "I hope Manchester United loses the game, but I believe they will eventually win the league runner-up and the league championship? Haha, that must be our Chelsea!"

There is no doubt that Mourinho deliberately wanted to lose face to Liverpool, criticizing Yang Cheng, believing that he could not even be second in the league.

Yang Cheng did not fight back at Mourinho's words. He is not the kind of shrew who likes to scold people. As long as he provokes Mourinho and Manchester United's furious targets, he feels that he has achieved his goal.

Ferguson did not agree to Mourinho, but Keane took the lead in igniting the war.

When the Red Devils were interviewed by Manchester United Radio, the captain bombarded several players in the team, saying that they did not show qualified strength in their Manchester United jerseys, which should have been more like a sign of civil unrest in Manchester United.

But who would have thought that the players named by Keane were all reborn in the game, especially Alan Smith, who won the best in the game. Fletcher scored a winning goal, and the defense line formed by Ferdinand and Osheim also blocked Chelsea's counterattack again and again. As for Van der Sar, he played the most perfect performance since joining Manchester United.

In this way, full of drama, Manchester United beat Chelsea 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Even Yang Cheng, who personally rushed to Manchester to watch the game from Liverpool, felt unbelievable that Manchester United won so bizarrely!

This means that Manchester United beat Chelsea and Liverpool will reverse Chelsea as the leader of the Premier League with a 1-point advantage, and it will be with one round less.

The sudden crowning almost made Yang Chengle's mouth tilt, feeling like he was hit by a pie that fell from the sky.
Chapter completed!
