Regardless of the rumors outside, at least during the two-week World Cup qualifiers, Liverpool can definitely be regarded as the most popular European giants.

In the previous 14 rounds, England was 5 points behind Poland in the points ranking of Group F, which made this traditional strong team forced to the brink of a cliff. The possibility of appearing in the World Cup in Germany is very small. Many professionals have even stopped expecting England, and they all believe that the World Cup will lose England in 2006 after losing the Netherlands in 2002. []

But in the key game on October 8, England defeated Austria 1-0, and scored the winning goal was midfielder Gerrard from Liverpool. This English midfielder was pulled to the position of the offensive forward who was best at this game by Eriksen. He immediately performed well and scored the winning goal, saving England's chances of qualifying for the first time in the group.

Since Poland is bye in this round, the points gap between the two shortened to 2 points, and the two teams also attracted attention in this game on October 12. This is a game that concerns who can qualify for the first place in the group, and the loser will be eliminated directly.

In this crucial game, Gerald first assisted Irving to break the deadlock, but before the first half was about to end, the goalkeeper's low-level mistake gave Poland a chance to equalize the score.

In the second half, both sides played very fiercely. England launched wave after wave of attacks, while Poland tightened its defense line and focused on defensive counterattacks, because as long as they tied, they could qualify.

At the critical moment, Gerald shot from outside the penalty area in the 86th minute, and once again penetrated the Polish goal, setting the victory for England. He also used this goal to directly send England into the German World Cup.

With the victory in these two games, England reversed Poland, topped the group and qualified successfully.

After this game, the whole England bombed Gerald in a round of violent bombings, almost making him the savior of English football, believing that Liverpool's captain saved England.

Yang Cheng also went to the scene to watch the game in person, and he found an interesting place.

Because of his arrival, Lampard's position changed. Mourinho did not set his position forward like in his previous life, but instead transformed him into an engineer player similar to a defensive midfielder. This made the division of labor between the two in England's 442 tactics, Lampard's position was backward and Gerald's position was forward, and the division of labor was clarified.

Although Lampard's defensive midfielder is not reassuring, Gerald's offensive ability has been greatly released.

At least this season, his consecutive Premier League goals have proved his offensive ability, and Eriksen could not have turned a blind eye to Gerrard's outstanding performance in this situation.

However, Yang Cheng is still not optimistic about England's prospects in the World Cup. It's very simple. What England lacks is not players or stars, but rhythm. Gerrard is not a master who controls the rhythm, and Lampard is even more so. This is why England's overall strength is strong, but almost unable to qualify from the group.

Carrick is good at controlling rhythm and mid- and long passes, but the problem is that his defensive ability is never reassuring. This is why Eriksen dares to use him very much. Liverpool's core organization needs a player to escort him, which is something England's 442 cannot give.

As for changing the array, Eriksen has no such consideration for the time being.

In addition to Gerald's performance in the England national team, Larson's performance in Sweden is also very critical. He missed the game on October 8, and Sweden was killed 0:1 by Croatia. Both sides had the same points and the situation was in jeopardy.

But in the 12th game, with Larson's two passes and one shot, Sweden helped Sweden defeat Iceland 3:1 and successfully won the right to qualify as the first in the group. The limelight of Sweden's old gun even overshadowed the limelight this season, Ibrahimovic, known as Van Basten II.

His rival, Drogba, also performed well in the African qualifiers, was his hat-trick, helping Côte d'Ivoire defeat Sultan 3-0 away, reversed Cameroon, qualified from the group, and got tickets to the World Cup.

Essin even defeated his opponent 4:0 away with his one pass and one shot, and also won the World Cup ticket.

Several other players, such as Ashavin in Russia, Robben and Kuyt in the Netherlands, Harman in Germany, and Arau Diyala in France, all showed strong strength.

The only one who performed well in praise was Vidic. The defensive core of Serbia and Montenegro has always been the Dinghai decisive force of the Black, and his performance was as steady as ever. However, in the game against Bosnia, he got a red card at the last moment for an unnecessary foul and was expelled from the court.

However, this red card cannot cover up his role in the national team of Serbia and Black, and it is also his outstanding performance. It allows Serbia and Black to beat Spain and qualify as the first in the group, while Spain is forced to participate in the playoffs and strive for the last chance. If it fails, Spain will likely miss the German World Cup.

With Liverpool's 4-1 home victory over Chelsea, which attracted worldwide attention, and coupled with the important role played by Liverpool players in the qualifiers, media around the world began to be surprised to find that there are already so many players in Liverpool's team that occupy the core position in their respective national teams.

The young Ronaldo, Robben, Essin, Vidic and other players all entered the Premier League at a young age and joined Liverpool. Over the years, they have always given people the feeling of being a young player, but now everyone is surprised to find out where are these players still young players?

The Tyrgyzstan Times took the lead in a very eye-catching title in an article, Caesar made to save England!

In this report, they listed the role of Liverpool players in the current England national team. Carragher is the main center back, Glen Johnson replaced the injured Gary Neville to start and performed well. Warnock is the team's substitute left-back, and Carrick is also an important member of the team's midfield.

"Liverpool has contributed 5 players to the England national team. It is currently the team that has contributed the most among the top four teams in the Premier League, and has played a key role, which is unmatched by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea."

"If you calculate the list of Liverpool Youth Training Academy's national teams at all levels, starting from U16 to the first team, Liverpool has increased from the past seven internationals to the current 28 internationals in just over two years. It is the club with the greatest contribution of internationals among all professional teams in the Premier League!"

"Maybe, while we comment on the contributions that Yang Cheng has brought to charge Liverpool in the future, we should not just point out his role and transformation to the Reds. Instead, it should be said that he has brought earth-shaking changes to the entire England. At least the Liverpool youth training reform he has promoted has brought a continuous supply of talents to the entire English football."

"What is most rare is that the technological reforms he has driven are affecting national teams at all levels in England. After all, these national teams are mainly composed of Liverpool youth training players. Given that the outside world is calling for Eriksen to change the team more and more loudly, we can even look forward to seeing a more Liverpool-like English national team in the World Cup in Germany."

…………

…………

Yang Cheng did not show too much joy in the praise from the outside world.

Actually, there was nothing to be happy about. On the contrary, he felt that if he could, he should cry.

Standing from the club's standpoint, Yang Cheng's mood can be imagined when he saw the players traveling thousands of miles to participate in the national team competition and then came back in a hurry and gathered together the next day and prepared for tomorrow's league.

Therefore, when Liverpool performed very badly at Anfield Stadium, Yang Cheng directly used a large number of substitutes to start and was forced into a very embarrassing position by Blackburn. In the end, when Larson's goal narrowly defeated Blackburn 1-0, Yang Cheng directly expressed his satisfaction with the result of the game.

"Chelsea beat Bolton 5:1?"

When he heard the reporter mention this news, Yang Cheng smiled and was not surprised by the result at all. "Then I should congratulate Mourinho on the fact that at least his team finally showed off his attack power, but Bolton was too unlucky!"

The implication is that Chelsea has no choice but to do anything to us, so they can only spread all their anger on Bolton.

After hearing this, the reporters all laughed.

This round is a big test of the team's bench thickness. At least Manchester United won Sunderland 3:1 away, but Arsenal lost 1:2 away to West Bromvic.

As Yang Cheng had expected before, after losing Vieira and Edu, he relied too much on young players such as Fabregas, and coupled with the centrifugation of players such as Henry, Pire, and Lungberg, who were getting closer to the thirty mark, Arsenal was no longer as brave as he was.

After playing the 9th round of the league, Liverpool moved to the European arena. With the goals of Gerald, Drogba and Ronaldo, he defeated Benfica 3-0 at home and won his first victory in the Champions League group stage this season.

Interestingly, Ronaldo scored a penalty in this game, created by Ronaldo, but was punished by Ronaldo because Benfica was his father's favorite team, which made everyone think that this penalty would be more valuable and meaningful to Ronaldo, so he took the penalty, and the Portuguese also calmly got the penalty.

In another game in the group, Juventus tied Villarrel 0:0.

Yes, you heard it right, it was Juventus who tied Villarrel!

Pellegrini's training ability is really excellent. Even Yang Cheng always felt in his previous life that if Real Madrid were not lacking patience and willing to continue to give him trust and power, he would build a unique Real Madrid, just like Villarrel he has created now.

Steve Haeway looked at Paul Bayer and then looked at Yang Cheng, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "It seems that you are planning to do a big game this season!"

"Of course!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "I have been through two seasons and have accumulated so hard that I should have achieved results!"

Steve Heway nodded, "No problem, what position do you need?"

"Just draft a list and hand it over to me, and then let them report to Melwood tomorrow!" After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he called his assistants and left.

When the boys on the training ground saw Yang Cheng leaving, they all showed disappointment because they did not get the choice of this big shot. Does this mean that he is not satisfied with the players of the youth team?

"What are you looking at, bastards?" Steve Haewe shouted in his loud voice, "Are you disappointed? Who made you not train well? Mr. Yang Cheng was not satisfied with your performance just now."

Although I was mentally prepared, these guys still felt sad.

Not being happy by Yang Cheng, he cut off the opportunity to enter the first team.

But Steve Haiwei changed his tone, "But Mr. Yang Cheng said that he is willing to give you a chance to perform. In the third round of the League Cup the day after tomorrow, he needs several players to play the game. Whoever performs best in today's training will go to Melwood tomorrow to report!"

In one sentence, the enthusiasm on the training ground was rekindled.

This group of young players were all excited that they could get the opportunity to play under Yang Cheng's command. They all tried their best and performed very actively on the training ground. If Steve Haewei hadn't called for a stop urgently, he would have been injured.

Finally, Steve Heway selected several players. In addition to the three players that Walcott, Carol and Gareth Bale, Yang Cheng had already promoted, Jordan Henderson, Jay Spirin, Martin Kelly, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Rodwell and Joe Hart were also included in the League Cup roster by Steve Heway.

Some players are under 16 years old, but their performance is indeed excellent and have the potential to be trained in the first team.

"Mr. Yang Cheng attaches great importance to Kirkby Youth Training Academy. He told me just now that every week from now, he will select three to five players who perform well and have obvious progress to Melwood, and get the opportunity to train with the first team and receive guidance from the first team coaching staff."

Steve Hewi's words immediately made the young players present cheer excitedly.

"But don't be too happy too early. This is an opportunity, but it is also a test. If you perform well, you have the opportunity to go directly to the first team. But if you perform poorly, you will still be kicked back to Kirkbee!"

After a pause, Steve Haewell suddenly showed a passionate look.

"This season, the team is very ambitious. From management to the first team, they have shown unprecedented fighting spirit and strength. Killing Chelsea 4:1 is an example!"

Speaking of this game, all of these young players showed a pilgrimage look.

"We are determined to strive for the league championship and defend the Champions League. If we succeed, it will undoubtedly be a season that will be recorded in history. If you can stay in the first team or even play for the first team, then you will become a part of the team's history."
