'It's a pleasure to successfully defend the Carabao Cup title at Wembley Stadium!'

In the post-match interview area, Yang Yang was interviewed by media reporters from all over the world, answering their questions, many of them were Chinese.

After winning the League Cup last season, Liverpool won the trophy again this season, Yang Yang scored twice and was voted the best player of the match, but he felt that he should be more grateful to the whole team for his performance.

'Reyna made a couple of crucial saves in the game, which gave us courage, and our backline, which was very well organised under captain Carragher, stabilised the team and allowed us to focus more on the attack.

'Gareth Barry has a lot of experience, he's a very good player, and Mascherano he's the strongest, Gareth Bale is a talented rookie, he doesn't look nervous at all, he's showing his best and everyone is impressed.'

'It wasn't easy to win against Manchester United, it was because everyone in the team worked together and every player played a role, including the substitutes and the players who didn't make the squad because we were one.

With the wealth of experience and the improvement of his own status, Yang Yang seems to be more and more comfortable in front of media reporters.

Now, no media reporter will challenge him to his face, because he is no longer the rookie who just arrived in the Premier League three years ago, and he is now a top superstar with two World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or in his hands.

In the same way, Yang Yang's answer is also to take care of all aspects of emotions as much as possible.

For this League Cup title, Yang Yang said that it was not easy to win.

'In recent times, we've had a very tight schedule, every game is not good, the opponents are very strong, and after the Carabao Cup final, we are in the league and the FA Cup, then the Champions League, game after game, everyone is under a lot of pressure.

'There is no doubt that winning the League Cup is an encouragement and an affirmation for us to face the challenges ahead.

Yang Yang believes that winning the League Cup proves the competitiveness of the team, and also calls on his teammates to show a better and more positive mental outlook, "I think we should recover as soon as possible and adjust, the league and the Champions League are our next focus, and of course, the FA Cup. ”

Liverpool are still leading the Premier League, the possibility of winning the championship is increasing, and now that the Carabao Cup is in hand, if they make a push in the Champions League and FA Cup, it will be an incredible season for Liverpool.

Yang Yang said that if the team can continue to maintain the excellent performance in the recent period, then the quadruple crown is possible.

'Today was a cup final and we won, it's the end of a cup but it's a new start and I think we should keep working hard and after winning the Carabao Cup, we continue to show the same form.'

'The league, the Champions League and the FA Cup, we still have a long way to go if we want to go on on those three fronts and get to the end, so we have to keep that hunger alive and play at a higher level.

As the number one star in the team, Yang Yang is obviously taking this opportunity to convey his desire to the head coach and teammates.

Liverpool's momentum this season is just too good!

The league leads all the way, the League Cup wins, the FA Cup has a good chance, and the Champions League is also a big favorite, in this case, Yang Yang believes that as long as everyone in the team is steady, playing every game well, and showing the best state, it is possible to make a breakthrough in results.

……

Yang Yang's words were also echoed by the captain Gerard beside him.

The Liverpool captain said loudly that Yang Yang played very well today, "He always brings confidence to all of us in the team. ”

As for Yang Yang's hope that the team can continue to work on the other three fronts, Gerrard said that Yang Yang said what he wanted, "What he said is what I want to say, and all of us will continue to move in this direction." ”

Liverpool's other players interviewed by media reporters also expressed the same idea.

The Reds are indeed facing a pretty good situation this season, with a strong lead in the league early on, Rafael Benitez has always been good at playing cup games, the team is now very thick on the bench, and with the likes of Crouch and Steven Gerrard returning from injury, Liverpool are now strong and morale-boosting.

Of course, it is still very difficult to achieve this goal.

Winning the league is a high probability event, and the Champions League knockout stage is full of unpredictability, not to mention both.

Judging from the situation in the Carabao Cup, it is clear that Manchester United are also very serious, and Ferguson wants to win a cup to avoid the embarrassment of being empty-handed all season.

Well, so must be Arsenal and Chelsea.

Interestingly, all of the Premier League semi-finals this season have progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, but they have all been staggered in the draw.

Liverpool drew Middlesbrough, Manchester United drew Fulham, Chelsea had the best luck and drew Coventry and Arsenal drew Hull.

Judging from the current situation, it is a high probability event that the top four will meet in the semi-finals.

With no hope of winning the league and no certainty of the Champions League, doing their best to compete for the FA Cup has undoubtedly become the top priority for the top four teams, and Liverpool will have to play a few more hard battles if they want to advance or even win the championship.

But the reason why Yang Yang took the initiative to shout out what he thought in his heart at this time is also very simple.

The League Cup is in hand, and the league is basically in the bag, if in this case, Liverpool still dare not shout to make efforts in the Champions League and FA Cup, it is really a bit too much.

Judging from the reactions of Gerard and others, it is obvious that this is not just Yang Yang's thoughts.

…………

When Liverpool lifted the League Cup trophy high at Wembley Stadium, the whole world of English football was shaken.

After the game, Liverpool returned to Liverpool immediately after a short break at Wembley Stadium.

Avid Reds fans arrived at John Lennon Airport to welcome the team's triumphant return, singing the team anthem frantically and watching captain Steven Gerrard walk out of the airport with the trophy in hand.

There were countless fans chanting Yang Yang's name, and they spoke highly of Yang Yang's contribution to Liverpool, because they all knew very well that Yang Yang was a great contributor to Liverpool's ability to get to where it is today.

It can even be said that he is Liverpool's core competitiveness!

Seeing that Yang Yang is so supported by Liverpool fans, the teammates within the team are envious and admired.

In the locker room, everyone knew Yang Yang's role in the team, and there was no objection to all that he had gotten, and some people even felt that Yang Yang's role was underestimated.

The team boarded the bus and made their way into the city and straight to Anfield, supported by the crowd of fans.

Along the way, more and more fans joined the team, singing the team song and walking slowly.

Liverpool didn't organise any celebrations, and today it was all organised by the fans, as the team didn't want to spend too much energy on celebrations, and it was a critical time for the game to be intense.

But Liverpool's official low profile did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans.

The night was filled with festivities throughout the city, with all the Liverpool fans celebrating the team's triumph and looking forward to the rest of the season.

Although Liverpool during Houllier's time had won five crowns in the season, in fact, none of these five titles had much weight except for the FA Cup, let alone a league or Champions League title.

So, in a way, the five crowns don't carry much weight at all.

But this season is obviously different, the league leader, the League Cup winner, the FA Cup has reached the quarterfinals, and the Champions League has basically entered the quarterfinals, all kinds of results make people full of confidence in Liverpool and place higher expectations on them.

This is true not only for the fans, but also for the media in the UK and Europe.

Especially on the second day, when Yang Yang, Gerrard and others were interviewed by media reporters, when they appeared in major newspapers, they immediately aroused widespread heated discussions among fans around the world.

Liverpool fans, whether they are or not, are starting to feel the ambitions of this traditional giant.

The Times has made no secret of the fact that Liverpool aims to return to the top of history this season!

And everyone believes that Yang Yang will be a key factor in Liverpool's ability to achieve their goals.

…………

…………

There was a lot of buzz from the outside world, fans were talking, and even Liverpool had sparked heated discussions.

There is also a lot of research within the coaching staff about whether it is time to start adjusting the team's strategic goals.

Since Rafael Benitez's winter break, which has put his contract extension talks on hold for the time being, Rick Parry has had some disagreements with him, and the club's general manager has never been to Melwood again, and there are even rumours that the two have long since become strangers.

But the day after the team won the Carabao Cup, Rick Parry appeared at Melwood.

The morning training session was just a recovery session, the intensity was low, and the players won the Carabao Cup and were in a very good mood.

After the training session, Rafa Benitez asked Yesterdam to call on his players, saying that he would hold an internal meeting before lunch to discuss the team's strategy and goals for the next game.

And everyone in the team knows that this will be an opportunity to build consensus.

Football matches are always made up of 22 players, and if any team wants to win, it needs 11 players to participate, which requires the unity of all the players' minds.

Only by working towards one place can there be a chance to win.
