北京时间4月2日晚，中超联赛第4轮，山东泰山（鲁能）坐镇主场迎战成都蓉城。大家都以为，山东泰山坐拥主场之利，又有上一轮让三追四的状态和豪气在，势必可以在成都蓉城身上收获一场胜利，然而，让人没想到的是，山东泰山却给球迷添堵，带来了一场0：3的大败。主场作战，惨遭大败，真的是让球迷很难释怀。

Looking back at this game, although Shandong Taishan overall performance is sluggish, but the most disappointing is only one person, this 3:0 game is like a touchstone, completely testing the true color of the former international. This disappointing player is Liu Yang, the left wing-back of Shandong Taishan, who has been selected for the Chinese national team many times.

In this game, Liu Yang was once again entrusted with the important task by Cui Kangxi and appeared in the team's starting left full-back position. However, he once again betrayed the trust that South Koreans placed in him. In the game, Liu Yang's left side became a major hidden danger for the team, and there were frequent mistakes. In the defense of Chengdu Rongcheng side star Hu Hetao, Liu Yang was even more powerless, and finally at the critical moment because he could not successfully defend, he had no choice but to tackle the opponent, and accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, causing Shandong Taishan to have to play more with less, which greatly affected the team's tactical layout and the situation on the field. It's a shame to concede a goal and a shame.

Judging from the specific performance, Liu Yang has obvious loopholes in his defensive awareness, and his offensive prediction of the opponent is insufficient, and he is often used by Hu Hetao to make speed and technical breakthroughs. In one-on-one defense, Liu Yang's physical confrontation and defensive movements are not in place, and he has repeatedly allowed the opponent to easily cross or break through the defensive line. On the offensive side, Liu Yang also failed to play his due role, his passing accuracy was not good, he could not effectively provide effective support for the team's attack, and many passing errors caused the team to miss offensive opportunities. It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yang's sluggish performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends became an important factor in the team's 3:0 defeat. No wonder he was criticized by the fans after the game, and was ridiculed as the biggest "parallel import" in the Shandong Taishan team.

It is worth mentioning that at the national team level, Liu Yang, the former "regular" of the national football team, has been excluded from the training squad by the national team head coach Ivankovic for many consecutive periods. Is it because Liu Yang is injured? No. There is no objective reason, that is, Ivan simply doesn't want to play with him.

Previously, some people questioned why Ivan abandoned Liu Yang. Now, judging from Liu Yang's poor performance in this 3:0 match, Ivan's decision to abandon Liu Yang is very wise. Although Ivan has been criticized by the outside world for his on-the-spot command, and his record in leading the team is also very bad, Ivan is still quite discerning in the selection of international players, especially in the abandonment of Liu Yang.
