Chapter 657 Yang Yang's Substitute

On the day of Liverpool's pre-season training camp, it was rarely a sunny and sunny day.

Yang Yang drove his Porsche Cayenne with Winston Bogard to Melwood ahead of schedule.

The Dutch fitness coach arrived in London the day before yesterday. At that time, Yang Yang was accompanying Su Ye to report to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and rented an apartment near the school. In the next year, Su Ye will accompany Yang Yang to live in the UK .

What's interesting is that when Su Ye's agent in China released the news of studying abroad, her fans and movie fans in China actually recognized and praised her even more, because they all saw Su Ye's acting career. Pursue.

It is not easy to settle down and study in London for a year at this critical stage of rapid rise in career.

Liverpool have suffered a lot of injuries in the past season. Among them, Daniel Agger has been injured for a long time, which made Liverpool's coaching staff very dissatisfied, so this time we specially invited Winston Bogard to come. The team, and will help the coaching staff train the players throughout the training period.

Yang Yang and Winston Bogard have long been iron-clad buddies. With his training volume, he certainly won't be a headache for the Dutch's devilish training, but the rest of Liverpool will probably suffer.

...

The two arrived in Melwood and parked the car at their usual location. Yang Yang went in with Winston Bogarde, met Benitez and others, and talked a lot, but never mentioned Yang Yang this summer. 's transfer.

This is a tacit agreement.

Yang Yang asked about the current situation of the team with concern, mainly about the summer signings.

Benitez said that the team is operating at full capacity, targeting local players in the UK, because UEFA has introduced a new rule a few years ago that all teams signing up for the Champions League must have a considerable number of local players.

However, UEFA gave a step-by-step process. In 2006, there were four people, in 2007, six people, and this summer it reached eight people. Liverpool does not currently meet the regulations, so local players must be introduced.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, you can also recruit young local players from the youth team, but this will take up precious spots, because young players in the youth academy must not sign up and participate directly.

"At the moment we are working hard to bring in Gareth Barry from Aston Villa, you know this player, he has a very good professionalism, but also focuses on the game, his personal ability is also very good, he will be a strong midfielder for us. supplement."

Gareth Barry is a very good midfielder in England. He has played quite well with Aston Villa in the past few seasons. Liverpool wanted him as early as the winter break last season, but Never settled.

"Is there a problem?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.

Yesterdam shrugged, "We paid 15 million euros for Finnan, but Aston Villa doesn't want Finnan, it wants cash, so we need to talk about it at the moment."

Yang Yang nodded with a smile, but did not express his opinion.

"By the way, look at three." Benitez took three documents from the desk behind him and handed them to Yang Yang, "At present we want to get one of these three players, so that You will also have a lot less stress in the new season."

Yang Yang nodded and found him a suitable substitute, which is what the Liverpool coaching staff did last season.

There have been many attempts before, such as letting Riise come to play the left wing, and let Benayoun and Pennant play this position, but it has never been effective, so that for a while, as long as Yang Yang does not play, Liverpool will play. Play four-four-two instead.

Albert Riera, tall and strong, power winger, Spain international, but did not participate in this year's European Cup, did well in Espanyol, but the disadvantage is that he is not a native of England.

Stuart Downing, Middlesbrough's left winger, England's native left winger, needless to say, Yang Yang is relatively familiar with him, knowing that this player is very fast and a local player, which is in line with the current positioning of Liverpool .

However, it is not easy to get Middlesbrough to let go, and the asking price is said to have reached 15 million pounds.

Gareth Bale, Tottenham Hotspur's left winger, can play left back, left midfielder and left winger, a one-stop player, very fast, another excellent free-kick skills, last season in Tottenham. Turnham Hotspur got a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately suffered a serious injury.

And it's really interesting that when Gareth Bale played for Tottenham, the north London side didn't even win a game.

Last season, he represented Tottenham in eight league games, with two goals and one assist. In these eight league games, Tottenham’s record was three draws and five losses, and they never won one. It just so happens that bale means disaster in English slang. , so many Tottenham Hotspur fans believe that he is the disaster star of the team.

Nineteen years old, he is not young, he meets the requirements of Liverpool's local players, and he is also a very talented potential young player in the UK. The price is relatively cheap, and overall it is not bad.

The three options have their own strengths, no wonder Benitez has a hard time choosing.

...

"What do you think?" Benitez asked solemnly.

"I... don't understand." Yang Yang shook his head with a smile.

This transfer thing is not something he can participate in casually.

"In the end, it's for you to choose a substitute, you can give us some advice, and it should be used as a reference for us." Yesterdam laughed.

It was reported earlier that Yesterdam once wanted to go to Real Sociedad as technical director, but was later retained by Benitez, Gerrard and others, and Yang Yang chose to stay in the team, so he also Stayed and continued to serve as Benitez's assistant.

Yang Yang thought for a while, "Didn't we play against Tottenham Hotspur before? I think Gareth Bell played very well in that game, with fast speed, strong explosiveness, and a few free kicks. The second threat is still very strong, but I don't know how he is recovering after being injured and absent for so long."

"We've figured it out, and we've recovered well." Yesterdam replied.

Yang Yang nodded, "I think of the three, Gareth Bell is more threatening, especially his speed."

Although Tangning had performed well against Liverpool before, the feeling for Yang Yang was not as strong as that of Gareth Bale, perhaps because the Welshman was too fast.

The Welshman debuted in Southampton, the Saints in the south of England. This team is known for its technology and its youth training strength is very good. Arsenal's Walcott debuted in the Saints. friend.

"OK, let's refer to it again." Benitez ended this conversation.

Before going out, Benitez handed Yang Yang a detailed pre-match preparation plan, which introduced Liverpool's pre-season preparations very clearly. Eight warm-up matches were arranged, which made Yang Yang a little surprised. .

Is it too much?

However, he quickly figured out that the team entered the state very quickly last season, mainly because the warm-up games were played a lot. Benitez obviously tasted the sweetness of this aspect and wanted to continue the strategy of last season. , grab points after the start.

…………

…………

Yang Yang returned to the team on the first day and was warmly welcomed by the players and staff.

His personnel in the team have always been very good. He will give gifts to everyone during the New Year and festivals. He will help anyone who encounters any problems within his capacity. Everyone is very happy with his staying on the team.

More importantly, they all know very well that Liverpool can only make great achievements in the new season if Yang Yang stays.

As a professional player, who doesn't want the team to achieve more honors?

Gerrard and Carragher are undoubtedly the happiest. Although they both know some of the inside story of Yang Yang's staying in the team, they are still excited.

"Fortunately, my house is still reserved and not rented to anyone else." Gerald hugged Yang Yang and said with a laugh.

"That's natural. I haven't packed my luggage yet, so you threw me out?" Yang Yang was also joking.

Strictly speaking, the friendship between the two started from the landlord and the tenant, but as they fought side by side on the court and repeatedly defeated strong enemies, the friendship and friendship between them became deeper and deeper, and Su Ye and Ku Lan's relationship has always been excellent.

I heard that Su Ye was going to study in London before, and Kuran went to London to help her choose a house.

"No matter what, if you stay in the team, we will have more confidence this season!" Gerrard said ambitiously.

Yang Yang nodded, "Death to Manchester United and avenging last season's revenge!"

"Also, grab the world footballer with Cristiano Ronaldo!" Carragher urged.

Everyone also followed suit.

It's not that Liverpool players have blind confidence in Yang Yang, but because there is such a possibility.

Although Yang Yang did not win the Champions League, he is the top scorer in the Champions League. This is already the top scorer in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, and the assists in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. More importantly, he won the Premier League championship. Thirty-four goals were scored.

In the history of the Premier League, Yang Yang's 34 goals are tied with famous players such as Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. He is one of the players with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Premier League, and he is also the European Golden Boot winner. .

But more importantly, Yang Yang is the best player in the Premier League. He is also the second player to score more than 50 goals in a single season in the Champions League in 60 years, tied with the legendary Gerd Muller.

It can be said that although Yang Yang does not have the Champions League, too many honors are enough for him to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

With so many honors, Yang Yang is definitely qualified to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yang Yang also knows this, he knows that he still has a role to play, and the key depends on his performance in the next six months.

If he can suppress Cristiano Ronaldo in this half-year, he really has hope of successfully defending the World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or.

And if you want to have a better performance in this half year, you must adjust your state before the season.

Not only for the two supreme awards at the end of the year, but also for the Olympic men's football event in August, which is the first time that China has the Olympic Games in history. Yang Yang is also full of desire for this event.

He believes that fans all over the country are also looking forward to it and watching him eagerly.

Thinking of this, when Yang Yang looked at his teammates again, his heart was warm, and an unprecedented fighting spirit surged up.

"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Yang Yang smiled faintly.
