Chapter 632 Challenge Letter

The suspense lasted only forty minutes in Liverpool's game against Newcastle.

After the opening, the two sides fought fiercely, and obviously everyone wanted to win.

Ever since Yang Yang joined Liverpool, many people believed that he was Liverpool's most powerful attacker after Michael Owen, so it was inevitable that he would always be compared with Owen.

And this game, the contest between the old and new generations, undoubtedly added a bit of gimmick.

But unlike Michael Owen who was almost invisible throughout the game, Yang Yang dribbled the ball in from the left in the 43rd minute and passed it diagonally with his right foot. On the opponent's defensive player, Crouch missed a hit.

One to zero.

Two minutes later, Gerrard made a straight pass in the middle, and Yang Yang used his speed to forcefully break into the penalty area, crossing from the front of the baseline to the back point.

This time, Couit calmly seized the opportunity and made a push in front of the goal, 2-0.

After changing sides in the second half, it was Yang Yang and Gerrard's two-for-one cooperation. Yang Yang went straight to the penalty area, and Gerrard hit a lob shot near the penalty spot, extending the score to 3-0.

In the end, with two assists from Yang Yang and goals from Gerrard, Crouch and Kevin Dirk, Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 at home.

After the game, Yang Yang was selected as the best player in the game.

This is also the first time Yang Yang was elected as the best player in the Premier League after a three-month absence.

All the Liverpool fans in the audience were cheering for him.

On the other side of the court, Michael Owen was in a sluggish performance and played without threat.

When he returned to the Premier League from Real Madrid, he no longer showed the style of the former England golden boy and the European Golden Globe Award, and now he has completely reduced to mediocrity.

...

After the game, Michael Owen still politely congratulated Yang Yang, Gerrard and others.

Although he is no longer in Liverpool, he still hopes that Liverpool players will continue to work hard and strive to win the league championship. "You should know that this is extraordinary for us."

Even though he has left Liverpool, Owen still regards himself as a Liverpool native.

And Owen looked at Yang Yang with complicated eyes, full of mixed flavors, and finally he just encouraged Yang Yang, "Don't care what the outside media say, now, you are the irreplaceable hero of Anfield .”

Yang Yang thanked him politely.

Michael Owen was once a superstar he looked up to.

In the year when Yang Yanggang made his debut, Irving was still the hottest superstar in European football, and soon moved to Real Madrid, but in the star-studded Galacticos, it was difficult for Owen to get a chance, especially in the face of a competitor like Ronaldo .

At Anfield, the best memory Irving left behind is of course the five European Golden Globes in that season, but among those five championships, there is no important champion, no Premier League champion, no Champions League, so never To some extent, the five crowns do not have much gold content at all.

Owen chose to leave Liverpool for the championship, but he was teased by fate, because in the year after he left, Liverpool, led by Benitez, created a miracle in Istanbul and won the Champions League.

After this war, the former younger brothers such as Gerrard and Carragher officially entered the ranks of European stars.

In 2005, when Irving decided to leave Real Madrid, anyone could see that he wanted to return to Liverpool, but by then time had passed and things had changed.

Benitez has six forwards in his hands. What he wanted was a central defender, but Irving was rejected, so he went to the Magpies.

Unexpectedly, in Newcastle, Owen was hit by injuries, and he has been in a slump since then, and now he has long lost the demeanor of the chasing boy.

...

Seeing Owen leave sadly, Yang Yang felt quite uncomfortable.

Because he once liked Owen.

I believe that none of the fans who have experienced those years will reject Owen, and who would have thought that the youthful and sharp-edged Liverpool chasing boy, who was obviously the golden age of his career at the age of 28, turned out to be How can people not sigh and sigh when the old hero is twilight?

To put it bluntly, Owen's career planning is really bad.

Whether it was joining Real Madrid or later moving to Newcastle.

Cases like Irving are not uncommon in European football.

For example, Yang Yang's teammates at Ajax Trabelsi, van der Vaart, and former Van der Meyde and so on.

And Yang Yang has repeatedly advised himself that he must carefully plan his career and avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessors.

Fortunately, his agent chose Raiola.

Although the fat man in Italy is a bit greedy for money, he still has his own uniqueness in the career planning of players. Whether it is Ibrahimovic or Yang Yang, they have planned very well.

After defeating Newcastle 3-0, Benitez was in a good mood after the game, but what made him even more happy was Yang Yang's recovery.

"Yang Yang played very well in this game. Although he didn't score, the team's three goals were all from his planning, and he also had two assists, which is very important for us. With his technique and speed, he can beat all defenders."

Benitez believes that the team's three goals and zero seals against Newcastle in this game are very worthy of recognition, "As we continue to win, everyone's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, which is very important."

Newcastle coach Keegan also said after the game that he was confident to lead Newcastle to avoid relegation, but he refused to answer any questions about Liverpool and Liverpool players.

On the contrary, King Dalglish said in an interview with the media after the game that Yang Yang played a very obvious role in the offense.

"He is really good." Dalglish praised, "In my opinion, Yang Yang is the smartest transfer Liverpool have ever made. What's more terrible is that as the season progresses, with his He's getting better with age, it's scary for other teams."

Dalglish also said that Liverpool has experienced several generations of dynasties in history, and one very obvious feature is that there have been outstanding top attackers in each generation of dynasties.

From Keegan to Toshack to Dalglish, Ian Rush and later on to Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen.

"There is no doubt that it is Yang Yang's turn now."

Dalglish believes that Yang Yang is opening up a period of his own football history, he has become the hope of Liverpool's revival, and he even believes that Yang Yang is entirely possible to break into the 30-goal club in the Premier League.

"In the history of Liverpool, the last player who scored more than 30 goals in a single season was Ian Rush, and it has been 21 years since then, whether it is Robbie Fowler or Michael Owen , failed to catch up with this record, so I think it is entirely possible for Yang Yang to create this history."

"Whether it's two Champions League wins in three years or the next one, I think Yang Yang will lead Liverpool to a revival and usher in another peak dynasty."

Dalglish also took this opportunity to remind Liverpool's management that Yang Yang is very important to the current Liverpool team and should not be sold for cash in the summer, because Yang Yang has qualities that money cannot buy.

"He is the type of player who can bring championships to the team. There is no substitute for that."

On the second day after Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-0 and Yang Yang's performance was unanimously recognized by the British media, Manchester United defeated Bolton 2-0 at home, and the head star Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

As a result, the Portuguese star was once again closely behind Yang Yang with 23 goals, only one goal behind Yang Yang.

After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo publicly stated that he will attack the league's top scorer.

"I feel that my current state is unprecedentedly good, and I feel that I can do more, so I think that I should set myself a higher goal, such as 30 goals and the top scorer."

"I know that scoring 30 goals in a single season is a privilege in the Premier League, because in the history of the Premier League, only top stars like Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Thierry Henry have been able to achieve reconciliation. reach, and I think, I can do that."

Cristiano Ronaldo also challenged Yang Yang, who is currently ranked above him in the standings.

"I know he's not in the right shape right now, but knowing him, I'm sure he'll get out of the slump soon and that will make the competition for the top scorers in the Premier League more interesting."

"He scored 25 goals last season but he's scored 24 goals so far this season and it's clear that he's pushing himself and pushing the envelope and I'm doing the same."

In the post-match press conference after the team defeated Bolton 2-0, Ferguson also publicly supported his lover, believing that Cristiano Ronaldo is the most terrifying scorer in the Premier League.

"Yang Yang is indeed very good, but I think Cristiano is the scariest. All opponents who have played against him will not deny this."

"Who is the top scorer? I have no doubts. It must be Cristiano. He is the best and the strongest."

Ferguson's public support, Cristiano Ronaldo's initiative to play, coupled with the support of many players in the Manchester United team, these quickly attracted the attention of the media.

Not only media reporters and fans are looking forward to it, but even gaming companies have offered odds.

Yang Yang is still leading by one goal, and has scored consecutive goals recently, but his state is still not back to his best. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo, since around Christmas, his goal momentum has been out of control. Also chased all the way.

Now, the two are only one goal away.

Judging from the odds offered by the gaming company, the odds of the two are not much different, and Cristiano Ronaldo even has a slight advantage because he is backed by the stronger Manchester United.
