Chapter 594 It's Still You!

After returning from the dinner, Yang Yang used the time before going to bed to read the book that recorded the history of Liverpool.

There are many detailed details recorded here, such as why Everton's Goodson Park and Liverpool's Anfield are so close, and how the two rivals in the same city came to be.

Also, the book documents the Heysel and Hillsborough massacres and their impact on Liverpool.

The most profound thing for Yang Yang is that Liverpool are still fighting for the Hillsborough tragedy even now.

In just a few short years, this top team that once swept the Europa was banned from the mainstream European leagues, and even felt like being exiled. Since then, Liverpool have never won a league title. .

This also made Yang Yang somewhat understand the mood of some local Liverpool players and fans.

After winning two Champions League titles, they are clearly more hungry for the league title.

This is not just an honor, to a certain extent, it is more like a consolation after a long absence.

It can be said that from the establishment of the Premier League to the present, the words [resistance] and [persistence] have been deeply engraved on the soul of Liverpool. They never believe in fate, and they never accept fate. They believe in resistance and Persistent strength.

After reading this book, Yang Yang has a deeper understanding of Liverpool, and also has a better understanding of the inheritance of Gerrard and Carragher, intentionally or unintentionally expressed throughout the day.

Perhaps, in the increasingly utilitarian professional football environment, spirit, inheritance, feelings, etc., these illusory things will be ignored by many people, or even belittled, but as Dalglish said, All these things make Liverpool great, and if these things are gone, is Liverpool still Liverpool?

Other teams are struggling to survive, so they can ignore it, but Liverpool's goal is always to get back to the top of Europe, so they have to protect the things that make the club great.

This is Yang Yang's own understanding.

The next morning, Raiola came to visit.

The Italian fat man mainly brought the situation of European football in the recent period of time, as well as some things he has learned.

At the same time, his trip also has a purpose, which is to send a new pair of sneakers to Nike.

This is a clause in the Nike sponsorship contract. New sneakers will be delivered every three months. The purpose is to hope that Yang Yang will cooperate with them in their promotion. Moreover, Yang Yang practices hard, and the shoes wear out quickly.

It is always awkward to wear new shoes, so Yang Yang usually wears old shoes for competitions and new shoes for training.

"Recently, I have received a lot of news. It is said that Manchester United is also fully operating Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese has completely suppressed Rooney in the team's internal competition. It is estimated that his ranking this time will also be Very high, and there is even hope of entering the top three."

Judging from the current situation, only the top three are the most valuable in the ranking of world football players.

Yang Yang and Kaka will definitely occupy two of the seats, because they are not only the leaders of the Champions League and runners-up, but also the most vocal superstars. There is no doubt that they occupy the top two. The difference is who can grab the first place. .

As for the third place, it seems very inconspicuous, but it is also an honor that countless professional players have dreamed of all their lives. Manchester United wants to operate Cristiano Ronaldo to enter the top three, which is also a normal thing.

"Is there no movement in Barcelona?" Yang Yang was very strange.

"Ronaldinho's performance in the past year has been too sluggish, Barcelona stopped in the round of 16, empty-handed, he didn't have any achievements, and his form has been fluctuating, and it has been obvious in the last year. "

Raiola analyzed the current situation, "As far as I know, Barcelona is currently focusing on Messi, and the Argentine's status in the Barcelona team is even higher than that of Ronaldinho. The development momentum is not lost to the Brazilian superstar, and the ability of Barcelona to operate is beyond our imagination."

Yang Yang nodded, he had heard of these things.

To say that the most capable players in the world, it must be the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially Real Madrid under Florentino.

Although the Galaxy Battleship has only been around for six years, Florentino's gameplay is unprecedented, and even to some extent, he has completely changed the gameplay of professional football clubs, especially in the operation and brand management of top superstars. superior.

So far, it is still difficult for any superstar to resist the temptation from Real Madrid.

The name seems to be full of magic and makes anyone yearn for it.

Of course, if Calderon and Mijatovic continue to toss like this, I am afraid that this signboard will be smashed by themselves, and it is unknown what will happen in the future.

"Don't worry about these things for now." Yang Yang shook his head, but he didn't have much thought to deal with these things, "You help me do two things."

"What's up?"

"I've been using Apple's iPhone for the last few months, and it feels good. I'm going to invest a little more money in this company and buy their stock."

"Still buying? You now own five million euros of shares in this company." Raiola was puzzled.

Since January 2007, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs released the first iPhone, the company's stock price has been rising, which also made Yang Yang's original purchase of shares soar. Doubled it several times.

"I'm quite optimistic about this company." Yang Yang said seriously.

Raiola smiled bitterly, "I remember, you seemed to say it was purely out of liking, how has it changed?"

"I made money." Yang Yang smiled honestly.

The fat Italian almost fell down. If you don't make money, it's pure interest. If you make money, it becomes a vision. It's still your cow!

Yang Yang's investment is not much, most of which are left to Wei Zheng to take care of it. He has only invested in two companies' stocks, one is Penguin and the other is Apple. Unexpectedly, the stocks of both companies have soared. So much that Raiola regretted it, why didn't he buy some with him in the first place?

"But I've heard that there are mixed reviews for this new phone," Raiola said.

As soon as Apple released the mobile phone, Yang Yang asked the Raiolato people to bring back several of them from the United States. Except for himself, Su Ye and Raiola, the others were given to relatives and friends in China.

But Raiola was really not used to this kind of new electronic product, and it was not easy to use, so he switched back to Nokia not long after, always thinking how could there be a market for something like an Apple phone?

"It's really not mature enough, but I believe in Steve Jobs, and I think it has a lot of potential, so you can buy me a little more stock in this company, anyway, we're making money now."

Raiola was helpless and could only agree.

He is Yang Yang's agent, but in many cases, the agent also plays the role of running errands.

"They are going to go on sale in Europe in November. You can contact me by the way. I will buy 100 copies and I will give them as gifts."

Since his first at Ajax, Yang Yang has given team-mates, staff and coaches a gift every year before Christmas, sometimes electronics, sometimes something else.

Calculated, the annual expenditure in this area is about tens of thousands of euros, but it is completely within Yang Yang's acceptance range, because this is less than his one week's income, but it can always win the goodwill of teammates and staff because of this, He Le Not for what?

At 20:00 on Wednesday night, Liverpool sits at Anfield Stadium to welcome Cardiff in the League Cup.

Leading the Premier League standings and qualifying for the Champions League group stage, Liverpool didn't put too much energy into the cup competition, especially the team's recent state and injuries are indeed very distressing, so Benitez did not. try best.

Gerrard, Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano all sat in the stands.

Although it was known early on that the team would not use the main force, the Anfield stadium was still full of people. A total of more than 40,000 fans came to the scene to watch the game, and the attendance rate was still very hot.

This is also a major feature of Liverpool fans, no matter what the game, they vote 100% for the team.

Perhaps due to the large rotation and the arrangement of a large number of substitutes and young players, Liverpool's performance on the pitch was not ideal. The team's offensive organization was relatively chaotic. Even if the overall strength was slightly better than the opponent, it did not show. Convincing strength.

After changing sides in the second half, Benayoun opened the scoring for Liverpool in the opening three minutes, but soon, in the 65th minute, Cardiff equalized the score, and just one minute later, Benayoun himself made another strike. Yicheng, once again surpassed the score.

After that, neither side was able to break the door again.

Benayoun, who scored twice, was selected as the best player of the game, and Lucas Rewa, who joined the Brazilian league this summer with the title of the best player in the Brazilian league, also played the whole game in this game. Performed ok.

Whether it is from the game or from training, it is not difficult to see that Lucas Rewa has not adapted to the Premier League for the time being, but the club is still full of confidence in him.

For a long time, the Premier League has been regarded as the hardest hit area for Brazilian players. There are very few Brazilian players who can succeed in the Premier League. So far, the most successful midfielder of Arsenal is Gilberto Silva.

As for whether Lucas Rewa can succeed, he can only see himself.

...

Liverpool win and everyone is in a good mood.

After the game, Yang Yang and other main players went to the locker room to congratulate their teammates. On the way back, they met a number of media reporters. When interviewed, they were all happy with the team's victory.

When Yang Yang was asked, the Catalan media thought that the goal he scored against Arsenal was not five consecutive goals, Yang Yang smiled and said he didn't care.

"Isn't it? It's okay, I'll find another chance another day, and I'll try to get another one."
