Chapter 514 Sending Charcoal in the Snow

Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 and Liverpool were elated.

After the game, the time was only 14:30 in the afternoon. Benitez immediately announced the disbandment of the team. Everyone can rest early and come back to train tomorrow morning.

Yang Yang had nowhere to go, so he took a nap in the room of the Melwood training base.

In the super training ground, he and Lao Bing conducted a review of the just-concluded game, mainly for some mistakes made by Yang Yang in the game, or some missed opportunities.

"In the first half, if you were more excited, you would have at least two good scoring chances." Lao Bing said lightly.

Yang Yang responded with a wry smile. He also wanted to be excited, but he was a human, not a robot. How could he be excited when he was excited?

In the second half, he was infected by the atmosphere of the home court and his teammates, and he was really excited. As a result, he seized the opportunity, and the smooth operation of the midfield of the team also made him play more comfortable.

"Sissoko's passing still has to be practiced." Yang Yang said with a wry smile.

In the first half, Mali midfielder gave him a few kicks, but it was still too far from Xavi Alonso and Gerrard.

Sometimes there really is no harm without comparison.

The passes of Xavi Alonso and Gerrard are often based on his specific situation at the time. They not only give enough advance, but also try to pass to his step point, so that he can receive the ball very comfortably. .

Especially Xavi Alonso.

Many people think that Yang Yang has a tacit understanding with Xavi Alonso, and the reason is that Xavi Alonso's passing is really comfortable, much like Sneijder in the Ajax period.

The only difference is that Sneijder is better at giving through balls and Xavi Alonso is a little further back.

But Sissoko is different. He just passes the message in place and never considers how you pick it up.

Of course, Yang Yang is not complaining about Sissoko. After all, he is three completely different types of midfielders from Harvey Alonso and Gerrard. There is no way to use Harvey Alonso and Gerrard's standard to require him.

As if he couldn't ask Xavi Alonso to defend as hard as Sissoko did.

Sissoko is only twenty-two years old and has a lot of potential to tap, while Xavi Alonso is twenty-five.

For an attacking player like Yang Yang who can directly threaten the opponent's goal, the quality of the pass sent to him is really critical, which seriously affects his next move.

Therefore, Yang Yang missed several chances in the first half and was not active enough, which is somewhat related to the midfield.

"I'm still not strong enough!" Yang Yang admitted frankly.

If he is strong enough, he can handle it well no matter what type of teammates he is playing with.

Lao Bing obviously agrees with this.

"Then don't say more, keep practicing!"

…………

…………

After practicing in the super training ground for more than an hour, when he woke up, Melwood was already empty.

Yang Yang didn't dare to practice for too long, otherwise, he would have been sleeping, and the club's staff would probably call the police.

After a good night's sleep, Yang Yang recovered a good spirit and went to the swimming pool for a while.

After a fierce game just now, Yang Yang swam very relaxed, just to adjust his body.

Even though he is still very young, he does not dare to consume his body excessively. He has always strictly followed the plan of Winston Bogard and the team's coaching staff. Even if it is extra training, he attaches great importance to mastering a scale.

When he returned to the training building again, he saw someone practicing on the training ground.

Javier Mascherano!

The Argentine has been training very diligently since joining the team and often stays for extra training.

Today, he entered the roster for the game, but he sat on the bench for the entire game. It is probably because of this, so he chose to train himself after the game to maintain his state.

Since Yang Yang trains almost every day, he always has a natural affinity for players who choose to train on his own. For example, he has a good relationship with the Brazilian left-back Aurelio in the team.

In the past, Yang Yang did not rarely see Javier Mascherano re-training, but this Argentine didn't talk much in the team, and he was new to him. There are very few connections.

But today, he walked over.

...

There was a row of marker discs on the training ground, and Mascherano was circling the marker disc with the ball.

This is one of the more basic exercises, mainly to maintain the player's movement speed and agility when dribbling the ball.

However, Yang Yang noticed his movements.

"Javier, it's a little slow." Yang Yang reminded.

Mascherano had already noticed Yang Yang, and after listening, he nodded towards him, speeding up, but still slow, which made Yang Yang shake his head.

"It's still faster." Yang Yang said again.

Without timing, he knew that Mascherano's entire training movement was not up to the mark.

Mascherano stopped, shook his head, patted his left leg hard, and walked towards Yang Yang.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yang glanced at his left leg and asked strangely.

"In September of 2005, it suffered a severe fracture and was raised for more than half a year. Since then..."

Psychological shadow!

Such a term flashed in Yang Yang's mind immediately.

But those who have experienced serious injuries often have psychological shadows, and even many people have no way to return to the peak state before the injury.

To put it bluntly, players are also human, and there will be times when they are vulnerable.

"Did you do the same when you were at West Ham United?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

When it comes to West Ham United, Mascherano's eyes dimmed.

"There are many reasons, I just analyzed it myself." The Argentine midfielder said lightly, "The Premier League is too intense and it is too easy to get injured. In my heart, if I say that I don't have the slightest fear, it is definitely impossible."

Having experienced serious injuries, he is new to the Premier League, and it is not surprising that Mascherano has such a mind.

"This caused me to be afraid to do some movements a lot during training and games, and of course, I didn't match the team's technical and tactical style. Alain Pardue told me that he didn't need to be like me at all. The midfielder, neither I nor Tevez are in his plans."

The transfer of Mascherano and Tevez to West Ham caused a stir.

Speaking of which, these two players are also quite sad.

The ownership of South American players has always been chaotic, and the ownership of some players is held by a third party, which leads to players and clubs that do not have much initiative and can only be controlled by others.

Tevez and Mascherano are both outstanding among the young Argentine generation. They were bought early, but they were sent to Corinthians in Brazil to play.

Everyone knows that Argentina and Brazil are mortal enemies. Two Argentine players went to play in Brazilian clubs, and they were brought about by the acquisition of Corinthians by foreign investors. The situation is so bad one can imagine.

Mascherano also suffered a serious fracture after joining Corinthians, and the injury was retired for more than half a year.

Maybe it was because they couldn't stay in Corinthians, or maybe it was because they wanted them to go to the Premier League to be gilded. Sent them to West Ham United.

It's actually not wrong at all to say they are sent, because their ownership is still very complicated, West Ham United do not hold their ownership, and they are only on loan from Corinthians in name.

This intricate ownership relationship has made Mascherano and Tevez a huge controversy after joining West Ham, and they have been criticized for their incompatibility.

Alan Pardue made it clear that he didn't like the two players that the management forced him to, and even excluded them from the squad most of the time. That's why when Mascherano moved to Liverpool, the Red Army Complaint material to FIFA.

Yang Yang had always felt that Mascherano was so strong that there was no reason why he couldn't play in West Ham, but now it seems that in addition to the controversy and dissatisfaction with the transfer method, I am afraid there is also a psychological shadow with him. certain relationship.

The Hammers' style of play has always been very simple, direct and rude, and Alan Pardue naturally doesn't like a late midfielder with a shadow in his heart.

...

For things like psychological shadows, Yang Yang is powerless, and can only rely on a psychiatrist and time to slowly heal.

Judging from his observations, Mascherano himself is aware of this problem and is working hard to get out of this predicament.

Benitez should also know this, so he did not dare to let him play in several key games, such as the previous game against Barcelona, ​​or today's game against Manchester United.

But Mascherano is struggling to prove himself, because he needs to get rid of the past.

If Liverpool can't buy him out, he's bound to fall back into the quagmire of the past.

"Psychologically, you still need to overcome it yourself. Physically, I can recommend it to you alone." Yang Yang smiled.

"Who?"

"Winston Bogard, Dutch, fitness coach, worked at Ajax before, and worked for our club in the first half. Aurelio has adjusted his physical condition very well under his training. Jay Ladd, Daniel Agger and others have also trained with him and have responded well."

It was even said before that the reason why Liverpool suffered the fewest injuries during the winter break was related to Winston Bogarde's training, which led Benitez to want to keep him, but Winston Bogarde I would rather go back and run my own gym.

"I've heard of him, Francisco has mentioned it to me, but he doesn't seem to work at the club anymore."

Francisco de Michel, the club's new fitness coach, admires Winston Bogarde's ability.

"I'll tell him for you, you can contact him later, or let him go to Liverpool in person." Yang Yang said.

Given his friendship with Winston Bogard, it was a trifle.

After Mascherano heard it, he was full of joy and couldn't stop thanking him.

For him, this is definitely a relief.
