Chapter 459 He Is the Reason Why I Stay at Manchester United!
"How many goals did the Premier League's top scorer score last season?"
"Arsenal Henry, twenty-five goals!
"Well, this is my goal for the new season!"
...
When Yang Yang confidently appeared in front of the camera of Liverpool's official TV, he called out his first goal of the new season, and it quickly spread throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and even the world, and also spread to Manchester, 50 kilometers away.
In the gym of Manchester United's Carrington training base in the western suburbs of Manchester, Cristiano Ronaldo is doing hard strength training, and in his mind, what he saw in the morning, Yang Yang on TV, appeared in his mind. Fragment of an interview.
His confident look made the Portuguese feel indignant.
This guy has to show off even if he is injured!
Mike Clegg is Manchester United's fitness coach. He originally ran a private gym, but because his two sons joined the Manchester United youth academy, he applied to Manchester United as a fitness coach and was responsible for Gym.
In the past year or so, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a regular in his gym, and he has practiced the hardest.
Seeing that the Portuguese had completed his training mission as usual, he stood up.
"Okay, take a break, it's time to go back to training." Mike Clegg said.
But the Portuguese were not satisfied at all, "Let's do another group."
Mike Clegg stopped his steps to turn around, walked back, and squeezed the Portuguese's hand, "I said, this is not a joke, moderate, unless you want to be injured like him."
Needless to say, he knew this, referring to Yang Yang.
Cristiano Ronaldo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, obeying the arrangement of the fitness coach.
Standing in the gym, moving his limbs and muscles, Cristiano Ronaldo can feel his power.
"Mike, I heard that the kid is a masochist, you say, he may be overtrained?" the Portuguese asked.
Mike Clegg shook his head, "I don't know, but there is such a possibility, so you should also pay attention."
The Portuguese is also a well-known training maniac in the Manchester United team, especially since more than a year ago, he has been running the gym almost every day, and after talking on weekdays, Mike Clegg can also vaguely guess.
Yang Yang is the number one imaginary enemy in Cristiano Ronaldo's mind.
"He'd better take it easy and don't get hurt all day!" Cristiano Ronaldo said eagerly.
"why?"
"I decided to stay at Manchester United because I wanted to kill him!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes flashed with frenzy when he said this.
In the World Cup group stage, he was not as good as Yang Yang, and Portugal failed to beat the Chinese team led by Yang Yang, which disappointed him, but in the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo was eager to beat Liverpool.
Especially Liverpool with Yang Yang!
If Yang Yang was injured frequently, it would be so boring!

Winston Bogard arrived in Liverpool soon after.
The outside media immediately caught the news and knew that Yang Yang had invited his personal trainer to help him recover as soon as possible.
This naturally triggered another wave of media hype.
But the chariot of the new season is like unloading the brake system, and can only rush forward.
After the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Liverpool ushered in the Community Shield.
The opponent is the league champions Chelsea.
Since Wembley Stadium has not yet been completed, the game was arranged to be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in the south.
Yang Yang missed the game due to injury, so he did not go south with the team, but sat at home and watched the game with Su Ye.
In the ninth minute of the first half, Riise opened the scoring for Liverpool.
But before the end, Shevchenko seized the opportunity, received an assist from Lampard, succeeded in anti-offside and equalized the score.
Afterwards, Liverpool frequently created opportunities, but they were always a little short of scoring a goal.
In the end, Chelsea played a counterattack again. Robben used his speed to counter offside successfully and scored a goal from a long-distance attack.
Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 thanks to goals from Shevchenko and Robben.
Missing the Community Shield Cup, although Liverpool had an advantage, they still failed to score, which also made many Liverpool fans start to miss Yang Yang, because Yang Yang came to the team with high hopes of scoring goals.
Benitez said in an interview with the media after the game that the team's lineup is very strong enough to deal with any challenge.
"Yang Yang's absence did have a certain impact on our offense, but I don't think it's a problem because we have other players, such as Crouch, and Kuyt, who are all very attacking. player of."
Benitez said, "We performed very well in the first and second half, we had the advantage on the field, but unfortunately, there were some mistakes in our defense, which made us miss the opportunity to win the Community Shield."
However, the Spanish head coach also said that he did not value the Community Shield, but paid more attention to the weekend league, so players such as Gerrard and Xavi Alonso did not play.
The British media generally do not believe the Liverpool manager's defense.
Liverpool did not do their best, why did Chelsea do their best?
And to the weekend, ushered in the first round of the Premier League.
As the opener, Liverpool faced Sheffield United.
This game was originally highly anticipated by Chinese fans, because Li Tie, a Chinese player who previously played for Everton, switched to Sheffield United this season. Everyone expects him to play a Chinese derby with Yang Yang in the Premier League again.
But unfortunately, Li Tie was unable to play, and Yang Yang was also sidelined due to injury.
In this game, Liverpool, who played away from home, had the advantage, but failed to threaten on the offensive end. Instead, Sheffield United took advantage of a free kick in just 52 seconds in the second half. Les headed home.
It was not until the 70th minute of the game that Liverpool equalized the score with a controversial penalty from Robbie Fowler.
In the end, Liverpool drew with Sheffield United 1-1 away.
Yang Yang sat at home again to watch the game.
For this game, he felt very strong.
On the one hand, he feels that the Premier League away game is really difficult to play.
As a newly-promoted Premier League team this season, Sheffield United performed very tenaciously at home. Liverpool played very difficult away games and had an advantage, but they encountered tenacious sniping from their opponents.
Before coming to the Premier League, Yang Yang had heard that the Premier League away game was difficult, but he did not expect it to be this difficult.
How difficult is it?
In the first round of ten games, the away team scored two draws and eight losses.
With the exception of Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United and Aston Villa's 1-1 draw away from Arsenal, all the other away teams lost, some of which were even disastrous.
Fulham lost 5-1 away to Manchester United, Manchester City lost 3-0 to Chelsea, Blackburn lost 0-3 to Portsmouth, and Charlton lost 1-3 to West Ham United.
Although there is an away factor, Yang Yang still feels guilty because when the team draws away, he can only sit at home and watch the game, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Benitez told him that the injury this time was the problem of the coaching staff, so he didn’t have to feel guilty, but Liverpool did treat him very well. He watched Gerrard and other teammates fight on the pitch with his own eyes, but he could only stand by and watch. , which made him very uneasy.
What's more, the team's recent situation is really bad, and the old problem of weak offense has been exposed. He believes that everyone is waiting for their comeback.
Yang Yang was anxious, but he had to hold down his emotions and strictly implement the training plan formulated by Paco Yesterdam and Winston Bogard, because they did not want Yang Yang to be like last season's. Messi is like, hurt again and again.
But Yang Yang has a very strong feeling, that is, a raging fire is burning in his heart, the more he presses it, the more it burns, waiting for when it will burst out.
He wants to let those media reporters who question him see his strength; he is eager to let those fans who are waiting for his comeback to taste the joy of victory; he hopes to help those teammates who are struggling to support them, and work together win.
But all of this must be done on the basis of ensuring that he fully recovers.
Yang Yang held back his strength and worked very hard in the rehabilitation training, which was also seen by everyone in the club.
They all know what Yang Yang is thinking. Many players, including Gerrard and Carragher, have appeased him, so that he doesn't have to be in a hurry, but how can Yang Yang not be in a hurry?
After the first round of the league, the traditional strong teams all won, only Liverpool tied, and the ranking fell to the top ten.
Although it is only the first round, the outside media will not pay attention to you.
Therefore, Yang Yang seized the time to recover, in order to recover as soon as possible.

…………
After the first round of the league, Liverpool went to Kyiv, Ukraine, to challenge Maccabi Haifa away.
Due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at the request of Liverpool, UEFA arranged the second leg to a neutral third party.
As a result, Liverpool drew with Maccabi Haifa 1-1 away.
Crouch took the lead in the second half with a header, but it was equalised just nine minutes later.
And everyone is starting to clearly feel Liverpool's problems.
From pre-season warm-ups, to the Community Shield to the league, Crouch has played an important role on the front line.
With Yang Yang absent, although the England center still has a great tactical role, Liverpool's offense has been slow to score.
In the away game against Maccabi Haifa, Liverpool did not give the opponent even a chance to shoot in the first half.
It's zero shots!
The only shot was blown for offside.
But in the second half, Maccabi Haifa scored a goal, and a very important reason was that Liverpool's frontcourt offense couldn't open the situation.
Therefore, after playing Maccabi Haifa, although Liverpool advanced to the Champions League group stage with a total score of 4-2, both the media close to Liverpool and the fans of Liverpool are constantly calling for Yang Yang's comeback. .
Everyone believes that as long as Yang Yang returns, Liverpool's offense will be saved!
