Chapter 456 Injured
It's also interesting to say.
In the new team, the first person to befriend Yang Yang was his former opponent Kuyt.
The reason is not uncommon. Both of them came out of the Eredivisie League and joined this summer. They have a natural sense of closeness to each other, and they have competed with each other before, and Kuyt is also convinced of Yang Yang.
But the second person to befriend Yang Yang was the calm and rational looking Harvey Alonso.
The Spanish midfielder stood with Yang Yang during a training break on the first day and chatted about his Porsche Cayenne.
"I heard that the most special Cayenne in the world is in your hands. Find a chance to let me see it."
Luxury cars, one of Xavi Alonso's hobbies.
Yang Yang is also refreshing, saying that his car is still in Amsterdam, and it will take a few days to transfer it, and Harvey Alonso's curiosity will be satisfied by then.
And the two began to chat on this topic.
It turned out that Harvey Alonso and Reina both went to buy this car after the photo of Yang Yang's Porsche Cayenne was published by the media, which made Yang Yang a little flattered, but as the global leader of the Porsche Cayenne The spokesperson, Yang Yang, of course, has to do his due diligence to maintain Porsche's brand image.
As a result, the three Porsche Cayenne owners quickly hooked up, and they also made an appointment to find an opportunity to drive three Porsche Cayennes of different models but the same color for a ride on the beach.
Substitute goalkeeper Dudek also wanted to come over and have a chat, but was soon kicked out of the Porsche family group, because his Carrera was stolen in June, which made the Polish goalkeeper yell at the shameless thief. He even stole the only European Championship medal in his career.
Frightened, Yang Yang quickly thought about whether his medals for the Champions League and UEFA Cup were still there.
At last he vaguely remembered, as if it had been thrown in a Dutch suitcase.
"Or, go to UEFA to make up another piece?" Reina comforted.
Unexpectedly, Dudek was even more angry.
"Fix your ass? What do you think it is? It's the Champions League medal. If you lose it, it's gone. Where can UEFA supply you?" Dudek almost vomited blood.
Everyone laughed for a while, what an unlucky guy!
In the end, it was Gerrard who came forward and comforted his teammates. At the same time, he said that the team would continue to work hard to win another Champions League, and then Dudek would be able to win another championship medal, which should be comforted in his heart.
...
After training, he talked nonsense, but he trained very hard and earnestly.
Gerrard and Carragher, as the team's captains and vice-captains, were always the first to start training. Their attitudes were extremely correct and serious, and they were meticulous in implementing the requirements of the coaching staff without the slightest discount.
The two captains are still like this, so the other players after that naturally dare not relax.
Sometimes attitudes are really contagious.
Yang Yang really has a feeling, that is Liverpool's atmosphere, even if a player who is used to being lazy comes, he will become conscientious and will not dare to slack off.
Because people are gregarious animals, in this locker room, represented by Gerrard and Carragher, plus the responses of Hipia, Xavi Alonso, Finnan and other players, everyone trained strictly, no People will easily take the risk to be lazy.
That would be tantamount to excluding yourself from the larger collective of the locker room.
The enthusiasm of the captain and the old players is the most contagious. Their demonstrations make everyone consciously abide by them. Every training is done with all their strength, and every action is completed meticulously.
Liverpool did everything off the pitch extremely well, which made the players, including Yang Yang, ask themselves that there was no other option in return except to do their best and go to the game as best they could.
The vibe is really unique and infectious.
Yang Yang was only on the first day of his arrival, and he had already felt it and was deeply infected.
And he liked the atmosphere very much.
…………
…………
As the contact deepened, Yang Yang gradually discovered more.
For example, the two captains of Liverpool often organize activities off the field, sometimes they go out fishing together on weekends, sometimes they go out to sea with their families and children, or go camping somewhere...
I heard that many players in the team like to play golf. There is a golf course opposite Melwood. Liverpool players are frequent visitors there. Players often go there to play in teams.
Life off the field is rich, but on the field, the players train very hard.
Although Yang Yang came to Liverpool at the highest price, he has always been self-disciplined and the team's most diligent player in training. He did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
After all, many people are worried that Yang Yang's juvenile fame will become arrogant, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
The only thing that worries Yang Yang is that the physical strength training that the gym's fitness coach, Justo Lilo, created for him made him unable to adapt, which was very different from the previous training of Winston Bogard.
To this end, Yang Yang also had a special chat with Paco Yesterdam and Justo Lilo, and offered to strengthen his physical strength, but he should control it without sacrificing speed, explosiveness and flexibility.
This has also been recognized by the head coach Benitez and Yesterdam. After all, Yang Yang's speed and explosiveness are the most threatening things, especially the subsequent flexible speed changes. If he loses these, then his threat will be greatly discounted.
Justo Lilo also promised to adjust the training plan for Yang Yang.
...
With the deepening of pre-season training, Yang Yang quickly integrated into the team.
On July 15th, Liverpool ushered in the first warm-up match, away from the low-level Wixham.
The game was held on the road, and the scene was crowded with fans who heard the news, many of which were directed at Yang Yang.
It is disappointing that although Yang Yang followed the team to the away game in this game, he did not play.
He just felt the atmosphere of the game in England and the movement of the fans on the scene.
Compared with the Eredivisie, it is very different indeed.
In addition, what Yang Yang noticed is that the defensive actions of Wicksham players are relatively large, and the referee's law enforcement standards in the Premier League are relatively loose. In addition, the game is fast-paced, so sometimes I feel very nervous and exciting.
In the end, Liverpool beat Wixham 2-0 thanks to goals from youngsters Paul Anderson and Kuyt.
A few days later, Liverpool had a second warm-up match, still away, and the opponent was still the low-level Crewe.
This time, Yang Yang didn't even make the roster at all. Not only him, but also the players who participated in the World Cup, such as Gerrard, Carragher, Crouch and Harvey Alonso, did not participate in these two warm-up matches.
In the end, with the goal of the 17-year-old teenager Lindfield, the opponent won 1-0.
These two warm-up games obviously had appetizer interest, and the real core main force did not appear.
But the next three warm-up games are the highlight, which are against Kaiserslautern of Germany, Grasshopper of Switzerland and Mainz of Germany. Among them, the last one will be the duel between Yang Yang and Zheng Zhi, which has attracted domestic fans. s concern.
At the same time, because they only finished third in the Premier League last season, Liverpool must participate in the third qualifying round of the Champions League in August. The opponent drawn by the draw is Israel's Maccabi Haifa.
However, due to the recent intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Israel is very unstable, so Liverpool is making a request to UEFA, hoping to arrange the second leg away in other neutral countries, such as Cyprus.
Then Liverpool played their third warm-up match, playing a warm-up match with the Bundesliga Kaiserslautern in Liechtenstein.
The two sides played a three-to-three draw.
Yang Yang came off the bench in the 66th minute and performed well with one pass and one shot.
What's interesting is that players including captain Gerrard and Xavi Alonso were not included in the squad, so that after Luis Garcia was injured, the team failed to make substitutions, and Benitez simply Replaced Reina.
As a result, the Spanish goalkeeper actually played well in the frontcourt. After receiving Yang Yang's assist, he used the goalkeeper's kick kick to shoot a long shot and even scored a goal.
The excited Spanish goalkeeper rushed all the way to Yang Yang, apparently celebrating the first goal of his career.
All the fans in the audience burst into laughter.
The Liverpool players who came with the team also roared and cheered for Reina's goal.
In the end, the two sides fought three to three.
This warm-up match also attracted the attention of the media from all over the world. Yang Yang, who played for Liverpool for the first time, was tragically grabbed by Reina. There is no way, this goalkeeper can score goals when he goes up to play as a striker, how can he not call the media Novelty for journalists and fans?
The fourth warm-up match was held in Zurich, Switzerland. Players such as Yang Yang, Gerrard, Carragher, Crouch and Kuyt only came off the bench in the second half, but Xavi Alonso was still absent from the squad.
In the end, Liverpool lost to the Swiss Grasshoppers 1-2.
Yang Yang scored another goal.
But despite scoring two goals in a row, Yang Yang clearly felt that his physical condition was not good, and he was not excited enough, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
Yang Yang also immediately reported his question to the coaching staff, but the coaching staff guessed that it might have something to do with his good form in the World Cup, and he didn't care too much, but when he faced Mainz in the fifth warm-up match, Put Yang Yang on the bench.
This time, except for Yang Yang, Liverpool sent all the main players to play, but I don’t know if they have been absent for a long time. Liverpool’s cooperation was very unfamiliar, and the game was mediocre. On the contrary, Klopp’s Mainz performed very vigorously.
In the end, Mainz beat Liverpool 5-2 at home, and Yang Yang came off the bench and provided an assist.
National team teammate Zheng Zhi scored a goal in the game.
...
On the evening of August 9, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.
Yang Yang made his debut after joining Liverpool.
The opponent is Maccabi Haifa from Israel.
Yang Yang started. After only ten minutes of playing, he received a pass from Sissoko on the left, quickly dribbled the ball and cut inside. After throwing off the defender, he suddenly volleyed with his right foot and hit a curve ball that pierced the sea. Maccabi's goal.
But just as he was about to rush out to celebrate the goal, there was a sharp pain in his right foot.
He immediately realized something was wrong!
damn! injured!
