Chapter 599 The Curse of the World Footballer

Overnight, news quickly spread around the world.

All the media all over the world got the news, and they all reported that Yang Yang will go to Paris, France to receive the European Golden Globe Award in a week, especially in China, which triggered a media carnival.

In the history of Chinese football, there has never been a star like Yang Yang, who has attracted such huge attention in the world of football, and everyone has long regarded him as the pride of China.

And now, Yang Yang has gone a step further and won the European Golden Ball Award, which represents one of the highest awards for professional football players, which has further pushed him to a very high position. Cheers and cheers for this sudden news.

There was even a heated discussion on the domestic Internet. All the netizens rushed to express their blessings, congratulating Yang Yang for winning this award, and at the same time wishing him to be able to win the award at the FIFA Awards Conference in mid-December. highest honor.

Governments at all levels and major authoritative media have also commented to congratulate Yang Yang on winning this award.

...

When the whole world was reporting this news, Yang Yang was busy replying to messages and calls.

It's all about calls for inquiries and congratulations.

Yang Yang had received the news long before Gerard Ernault came to Liverpool.

Raiola has his own connections in European football, so he called Yang Yang three days in advance to get him ready.

Before Ernault came to Liverpool, the French Football Magazine also got in touch with Yang Yang through Liverpool, hoping to take more photos in Liverpool, including Yang Yang's parents and girlfriend.

But it is a pity that they are not in the UK, so they can only regret it.

However, before leaving, Gerard Ernault sent an invitation to Yang Yang, hoping that he could bring his parents and girlfriend to the award ceremony, and Yang Yang also said that he would seriously consider it.

When the news spreads, many people will call or send messages one after another.

For example, Van Gaal, Van Basten, Ronald Koeman, John Repp, Luther Carroll and others have all congratulated Yang Yang. Although they have left Ajax, Yang Yang has always been with him. They stayed in close contact, texting them back one by one, or thanking them on the phone.

These people have given Yang Yang a lot of help and advice on his growth path, which he always bears in mind.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the first to send a congratulatory message to Yang Yang. Recently, the Swedes are like Yang Yang's spy in Italy, often sending him some Italian news.

He played for Inter Milan and was a sworn enemy with AC Milan, so he said confidently that he did not want Kaka to win the award.

Old friends such as Sneijder, Fairmalan, Maicon, and Maxwell also called one after another. They all got to know Yang Yang at the end of the day, even though they are now playing in different teams, or even fighting, But the friendship between them is still there.

After finally dealing with these things, Yang Yang put down his phone, so that he had time to think about the past.

Before he knew it, it had been a year and a half since he left Ajax.

To sum up, he and Ibrahimovic have only been teammates for one year, but it is strange that their friendship with each other is deeper, and they are not lost to their roommate Fermaelen.

Sometimes when I think about it, those days at Ajax were the happiest.

Every day, there are a large number of people of the same age. Everyone plays together, makes trouble together, gathers together every day, there is always something to talk about, games that are not tired of playing, carefree, and there is no pressure, I am really happy.

But after leaving Ajax, all of this is gradually gone.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that the period when Juventus were relegated was the most painful period of his life; Van der Vaart is still hesitant to leave Real Madrid, because in this team, he is very Difficult to find location.

Fermaelen wants to leave Ajax. Not long ago, Raiola learned that Liverpool were going to introduce a central defender, and he went to the club to find out the situation, but Benitez wanted a tall and pillar-type central defender. Mullen is not suitable.

That's the problem with Liverpool's defence right now.

Some time ago, the club suffered a lot of injuries. Benitez had to invite Winston Bogarde from Beijing to Liverpool again. However, the lack of thickness of the team's bench caused the players to be under too much pressure, which is also a problem. .

There is a shortage of central defenders, but if Fermaelen came to Liverpool, he would definitely be a substitute for Carragher. With the iron man physique of Liverpool's vice captain and his style of being in the line of fire with minor injuries, Fermaelen could not play for a season. a few games.

Therefore, when Yang Yang communicated with Fermaelen, he comforted the friend and hoped that he would wait patiently for the opportunity.

What's the point of joining Liverpool if you can't play for a long time?

Yang Yang's popularity in Liverpool is very good, and he has no conflicts with anyone, but the biggest difference between this team and Ajax is that even the best teammates have little contact with each other.

For example, Xavi Alonso, apart from games and training, or group activities on weekdays, really rarely see each other in the rest of the time. Even if he thinks of it sometimes, he just makes a phone call.

This may be like what the ancient poems say, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

With the wounded coming back one after another, happy troubles began to appear in Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt.

In the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool welcomed Bolton at home, and Benitez once again put out a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is a combination of Aurelio, Hypia, Carragher and Abeloa, the midfield is still Mascherano and Xavi Alonso playing double midfielders, Gela Germany is rushing forward, and the tridents in the frontcourt are Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt.

Among the players who failed to make it into the starting XI include Mohamed Sissoko, Riise, Daniel Agger, Finnan, Benayoun, Pennant and Voronen. One, the teams outside the semi-finals are all absolute main players.

For example, Benayoun and Pennant joined Liverpool after they played at a very high level in other teams.

But now, it is difficult for them to play the main force.

Although Benitez has rotated the team, players such as Finnan and Abeloa, Riise and Aurelio are all taking turns, and Benayoun, Pennant and Voronen also often have opportunities Performance, but still can not satisfy all players.

So Sissoko came up with the idea of ​​leaving Liverpool.

Although determined to leave the team, the Mali midfielder did not make any offense to the team and others. He only expressed his determination to the club through his agent, hoping that Liverpool would listen to other teams' offers, such as Juventus.

Whether in training or competition, Sissoko is still the same as always.

This also made the atmosphere in the Liverpool locker room very harmonious, and the cohesion of the team did not decline.

...

Against Bolton, in the opening seventeen minutes, Yang Yang formed a strong breakthrough on the left and created a corner kick.

Gerrard assisted Hypia with a header, 1-0!

Although Hypia has made consecutive mistakes before, his state has been restored recently. Coupled with the improvement of the team's overall performance, the veteran and Carragher have once again become the backbone of Liverpool's defense.

On the contrary, it is not easy for Daniel Agger, who has just returned from injury, to regain the main position.

The team recovered as a whole, and after a strong midfield performance, Gerrard followed suit.

Before the end of the first half, Mascherano stole the ball in midfield, Gerrard went straight behind him, and Yang Yang succeeded in anti-offside.

This is also Yang Yang's 20th league goal this season!

With 20 goals in 15 rounds and 14 consecutive goals, Yang Yang's scoring momentum this season is really out of control.

The famous bookmaker William Hill even opened a handicap for fans to bet on which round Yang Yang would stop his goal scoring, and the biggest favorite was the Christmas schedule.

The reason is also very interesting, that is, looking at the past few years, many players who have won the World Player of the Year often have a sluggish performance in the subsequent period of time. Fans believe that Yang Yang will be no exception.

This is also jokingly known as the curse of the world footballer.

...

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Yang Yang planned an attack on the left in just 15 seconds. Aurelio crossed the ball and hit the goal with a header in front of Crouch's goal, making it three to zero.

Ten minutes later, Yang Yang dribbled the ball inward from the left and passed into the penalty area. Crouch was pulled down by the opponent's central defender when he grabbed a point. The referee awarded a penalty.

In the end, Liverpool beat Bolton with four goals at home and won another victory.

Since Liverpool was going to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup in mid-December, the league and cup matches were forced to be adjusted during this period, resulting in the League Cup quarter-finals that were originally scheduled to be held earlier in mid-December.

This time, Liverpool drew the rivals Everton.

This made Liverpool, who did not intend to do their best, also had to make great efforts.

Encountered a deadly enemy in the cup, even if it is a tasteless League Cup, it is impossible to give up directly.

Liverpool have rotated, but the core players such as Yang Yang and Gerrard are still starting.

Although Everton took advantage of their home advantage and scored the first goal, after changing sides in the second half, Yang Yang and Kuyt scored two goals in succession, helping Liverpool to defeat Everton 2-1 away and advance smoothly. League Cup semi-finals.

The day after playing Everton, Yang Yang took leave with the club and leased a private jet to fly directly from Liverpool to Paris.

At the airport, in addition to media reporters, there were also a large number of Liverpool fans.

They are all very clear that Yang Yang's trip to Paris this time will bring Liverpool back the second European Golden Globe Award.

Meanwhile, the club is busy preparing for the celebrations.
