Chapter 461 The Next Robben!

Yang Yang is back on the big list!

This piece of news quickly made its way to the newspaper pages and even the front pages of major media across the UK on the morning of August 23rd.

The whole of the United Kingdom is eagerly waiting, waiting for what this 19-year-old genius, who has spent 40 million euros in Liverpool and brought in with a lot of money, can bring to Liverpool.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, that is, at the pre-match press conference the day before the game, Benitez stated in a high-profile manner that Yang Yang officially returned to the team, but refused to disclose whether he would start or be a substitute.

"The only thing I can tell is that from training I can feel that he is in very good shape, he is eager to play, and I am sure that he will play an important role in tomorrow's game!"

Benitez's confidence also ignited the enthusiasm of Liverpool fans.

Especially on the day of the game, the major media in the United Kingdom focused on it, so that the whole of the United Kingdom, and even Europe, began to pay attention to this game, and everyone was looking forward to Yang Yang's Premier League debut.

Alan Hansen definitely supports Yang Yang, but he also said in his column that he should not put too much pressure on Yang Yang, but should give him a more relaxed environment so that he can find the rhythm of the Premier League as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that with the low point of the turn of the century, Newcastle has long since lost its momentum as a strong team in the Premier League, but the heritage of this team has always been there, and the Magpies have always been one of the most popular teams in the Premier League.

In the years at the turn of the century, Newcastle once sank to the middle and lower reaches, but since the beginning of the new century, under the coaching of the old coach Bobby Robson, Newcastle ushered in a revival and ranked fourth, third and third in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons. fifth.

But with the rise of Chelsea, Newcastle declined again. In the 200405 season, it ranked 14th in the Premier League, and the meritorious old coach Robson was also dismissed. After the get out of class was over, assistant coach Glenn Rodell put out the fire, and Newcastle showed its strength again.

After finishing seventh in the league last season, Glenn Rodell was able to stay on as a regular and officially stepped into the foreground.

This summer, Newcastle invested a lot of money, introducing Duff from Chelsea, Martins from Inter Milan, and Italian striker Rossi on loan from Manchester United.

These signings and operations have greatly strengthened Newcastle's competitiveness, making the Magpies beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 at home in the first round of the league, and Glenn Rodell is also ambitious to score away points.

Also at the pre-match press conference, the Newcastle coach even threatened that Liverpool are now injured a lot, and players such as Yang Yang, Carragher and Riise are recovering from injuries, which will be a great opportunity for Newcastle.

"Liverpool, please be careful! We will be more brave on the road!"

This was also interpreted by the media as a provocation by Glenn Rodell.

The game is held in the evening.

In the evening, the Liverpool bus slowly drove into the Anfield stadium and stopped at the entrance of the player passage.

The surrounding Liverpool fans had already gathered around, all shouting the names of the players, and many were singing the team's "You'll Never Walk Alone" anthem.

Captain Gerrard got off the bus first, which brought him a burst of warm cheers and applause.

Afterwards, every player's appearance was warmly welcomed by the fans.

And when Yang Yang got off the bus, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers all around again, and the momentum was not lost to the team captain Gerrard, which also showed the Liverpool fans' love for him.

Yang Yang waved to the fans to thank them for their support.

Gerrard smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked back and forth into the narrow player tunnel.

Liverpool's dressing room is small.

A room with a rectangular table in the middle that looks like a workbench, a bench beside the wall, and above the bench are hooks for players to hang their clothes on. At this time, the hooks are already full of players' clothes.

The jersey of Yang Yang No. 11 is among them.

Such a crowded locker room is not uncommon in European football, but the players have long been used to it.

Sitting on the bench, on the opposite wall is the photo of Shankly and his players that Yang Yang saw before.

He had a feeling that Liverpool was using this to tell all the players that there are things here that haven't changed in a hundred years, including the facilities in the dressing room.

Yang Yang is next to midfielder Xavi Alonso, and on the other side is Dutch player Kuyt. They are no strangers to each other. After high-fives and encouragement, he began to close his eyes and rest.

He needs to stabilize his emotions.

Newcastle arrived at Anfield a little earlier than Liverpool.

Therefore, their pre-match training also ended earlier.

The reason is simple, Glenn Rodell's game strategy is to attack.

"I don't know if Yang Yang can play this game, or how much he can recover, because I'm not Benitez, but I want to say, none of this matters!"

Glenn Rodell got everyone's approval for his outstanding performance after putting out a fire midway last season.

"Liverpool want to score at home, so they have to be more aggressive, but their attack, as we all know, lacks speed, lacks sharp, sharp punches!"

It's not what Glenn Rodell said, it's the consensus across the Premier League.

The reason why Liverpool did not perform well on all fronts last season and only won the FA Cup in the end was mainly because of their offense, which is a very serious problem.

Lack of sharp speed, which is also the drawback of Liverpool's attack.

"Yang Yang has just come back from injury and is a newcomer. I don't think Benitez will arrange him to start. Of course, even if he starts, I don't think he can bring any huge changes. We just need to stick to our own play. Law."

Glenn Rodell's remarks were shared by the players.

In fact, it's just perfect for Newcastle to start off with a goal.

As long as they are in the lead, Liverpool have to press out to play, and Newcastle will take the initiative to shrink and play defensive counterattacks.

The team has speed players like Martins and Duff, who are quite a threat on the counterattack.

Really give Newcastle the lead, then Liverpool can be miserable.

"Of course, we have to be careful. Yang Yang can cost Liverpool 40 million euros, which is definitely not easy. Judging from the pre-season warm-up, he should change his position. He used to play on the right at Ajax. , but at Liverpool, Benitez looked like he wanted him to play on the left."

Having said that, Glenn Rodell looked at an Irishman with a stubborn head.

"Stephen, it's up to you to take care of him then!"

The named right-back Stephen Carr clapped his hands vigorously, "Don't worry, boss, I will stare at him and let this nineteen-year-old boy see the horrors of the Premier League!"

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

In fact, many people are not convinced by Yang Yang, because everyone thinks that he is not worth 40 million euros at all.

The reason is very simple. How much did Rooney transfer to Manchester United?

Is the performance of the Eredivisie still convincing?

What happened to Kežman, who swept the Eredivisie back then, came to the Premier League?

After Yang Yang joined Liverpool, he was injured after only ten minutes of playing in the first official game. This undoubtedly further deepened the outside world's impression of him. Everyone felt that with his thin body, it was difficult to adapt to the fierce Premier League. compete.

Stephen Carr thinks so too.

"Still be careful, he's fast," Glenn Rodell reminded.

"How about Biroben?" Stephen Carr asked rhetorically.

Immediately, there was another burst of laughter in the locker room.

When Robben just landed in the Premier League, he was known as the Dutch flying man, the flying Dutchman, but what happened?

He's spent almost as much time recovering from injuries as he's playing.

And Yang Yang will be the next Robben!

Glenn Rodell didn't say any more. Before the game, it's not good to raise the morale of the opponent too much and destroy his own prestige.

"Okay, everyone, what I need you to do next is to get a good start at the opening."

"We played well in the first round of the league, and then we need to play the second round well!"

…………

When the two teams, led by referee Mark Halsey, walked into Anfield one after another, all the Liverpool fans in the audience cheered.

Especially when the commentator shouted the name of every Liverpool player, the scene was followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

"Our captain, Steven Gerrard!"

"Gerald! Gerald!"

"Our goalkeeper, Reina!"

"Rena!"

"And our defenders, Daniel Agger...Steven Finnan...Fabio Aurelio...Sami Hypia..."

"Our midfielder Xavi Alonso... Mohamed Sissoko..."

"And up front, Dick Kuyt on the right...Peter Crouch..."

"Of course, and our most important one, the Chinese teenager, Yang Yang, who just returned from injury!!!"

Immediately, the entire Anfield stadium is boiling!

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang!! Yang Yang!!!"

All the fans in the audience were cheering Yang Yang's name, and the momentum was unforgettable!

Su Ye and Winston Bogard were sitting in the stands of Anfield Stadium, nervously watching Yang Yang who walked into the stadium and greeted the fans. He looked confident and very calm.

"Good, still so calm, I believe he is ready!" Winston Bogard praised.

Su Ye nodded vigorously.

She knew that Yang Yang had been under heavy pressure and burden in the past ten days. He always felt that he was a little ashamed of Liverpool fans and had always been a little unhappy.

And tonight, he looked full of fighting spirit.

He obviously intends to vent out the repression and negative emotions of the past ten days tonight.

He's going to double pay back to Liverpool fans!

Use his performance! With his goals! Use his everything!
