Chapter 658 Suspense After a Year

Liverpool training camp started, Yang Yang returned to the team on time to report!

This quickly caught the attention of the media and fans in British and European football.

Everyone knows that this means that Yang Yang is officially staying in the team, and Barcelona's poaching plan has failed.

On the day of the training camp, more than a thousand fans came to Melwood to meet Yang Yang and watch the team's training. Yang Yang was also in a good mood. He not only accepted interviews with media reporters, but also tried his best to satisfy the fans' wishes for group photos and autographs. .

According to Liverpool's plan, the team will train in Melwood for ten days, then immediately go to Switzerland for a two-week training camp, and then move to Germany and Spain, and finally return to the United Kingdom.

The training period is from the beginning of July to the beginning of August, and the first game of the new season, the Community Shield, will officially start on August 10th.

Traditionally, the opponents of the Community Shield are FA Cup winners Portsmouth.

However, after entering August, Yang Yang will start to return to China to participate in the Olympic men's football competition. It is still unclear how far he will be able to play. Even if the Chinese team stops in the group stage, it will not be able to return to the team until late at the earliest.

...

The biggest difference from the training camps in previous years is that Liverpool specially invited Winston Bogard to the team this summer, and he and De Michele were responsible for the strength training of all the players in the team, especially the few last season. Injury number.

Winston Bogarde became famous after cultivating Yang Yang. Not only did he gain a huge reputation in China, but even Ajax and Liverpool respected him very much. Benitez had many before. He was invited to Liverpool to train players.

Among them, Aurelio was the focus of media coverage.

The Brazilian left-back was injured frequently and was a serious injury at Valencia, but under Winston Bogarde's training, Aurelio's attendance last season even caught up with him in Valencia. In the peak period of Rencia, especially in the second half, the attendance rate was very high and the performance was quite good.

In this case, Benitez and the coaching staff also tasted the sweetness, and immediately invited Winston Bogard over, and not in the short term, but let him follow in the next month. The team conducts summer training sessions.

There is no doubt about the strength of Winston Bogard, and the players know it well, but training with him is also very hard, especially the equipment training in some gyms, which is simply a nightmare for professional players.

But under the strict supervision of Benitez and the guidance of Yesterdam, the players also received training from Winston Bogard, not only the seriously injured number like Daniel Agger, but also the Xavi Alonso, who hasn't performed particularly well last season, obeys and executes meticulously.

While Liverpool were in full swing with their summer training sessions, the club's transfer operations were still going on in an orderly manner.

The Red Army's transfer focus this summer is undoubtedly to strengthen the team's midfield and bench thickness. Benitez has put the transfer focus on Gareth Barry, but in June, Aston Villa was Liverpool's offer was repeatedly rejected.

This makes Gareth Barry very dissatisfied, because he obviously hopes to transfer to Liverpool who can participate in the Champions League, and after Yang Yang stayed in the team, the Red Army has also shown a very strong momentum this season.

In this case, the relationship between Barry and Aston Villa was very tense, and there were even media reports that Barry was punished by the club for publicly criticizing coach Martin O'Neill.

As the time entered mid-July, Aston Villa finally made a concession and agreed to Liverpool's offer.

Fifteen million pounds, plus a Finnan, is Liverpool's final offer for Gareth Barry.

Entering mid-July, the Aston Villa captain finally joined Liverpool.

After the official announcement of the two clubs, Gareth Barry immediately went to Liverpool from Birmingham, accepted Liverpool's medical examination, and directly participated in the team's pre-season training.

Gerrard, Yang Yang and others all welcomed Gareth Barry's joining, and Xavi Alonso obviously felt the pressure of competition and trained more diligently, even the gym equipment training that was relatively excluded in the past. , now they are practicing very vigorously.

Another person feeling the pressure is Lucas Rewa.

The joining of Gareth Barry has created a huge competitive pressure on the Brazilian midfielder. He must improve his strength to ensure that he becomes an important member of the team's midfield.

As for Mascherano and Gerrard, because of the characteristics of the two, they are basically the main players who play steadily.

On the third day of Gareth Barry's arrival at Liverpool, the team set off for Switzerland.

Also with the team is Gareth Bale, a Welsh teenager who has just moved to Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Tottenham Hotspur star was successfully acquired by Liverpool. The specific transfer fee has not been disclosed, but it is speculated that Liverpool gave a high price of seven million pounds, because Tottenham Hotspur acquired a year ago. He spent five million pounds at the time.

The media close to Liverpool quickly broke the news that Gareth Bell will become Yang Yang's substitute, and the Welshman is a player named by Yang Yang himself, which makes Gareth Bell respect Yang Yang very much after he came to the team. Thanks for his trust and support.

The Welshman is only 19 years old now. Although Yang Yang is only 21, the status and influence of the two in European football and the Premier League are completely different. The road is much better.

At least in the Liverpool dressing room in the future, Yang Yang is his umbrella.

After sending Finnan away, Liverpool continued to bring in Glen Johnson from Portsmouth. The English native right-back performed well in Pompeii and was loved by Redknapp, but still Introduced to the team by Liverpool for a high price of 10 million pounds.

Gareth Barry, Gareth Bale, Glen Johnson, three local British players joined in, which has increased the number of local Liverpool players, met UEFA's UEFA Champions League registration requirements, and also strengthened the team. overall strength.

To this end, the Red Army has invested 32 million pounds in transfer fees. The investment in the Premier League even exceeds that of rivals such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. It is a veritable investment in the Premier League.

But at the same time, Liverpool also sold Carson, and after Gareth Bale and Gareth Barry joined, both players can be qualified for the left-back position, so the team sent the delay again. Riise, who did not renew his contract, recovered £7.5 million from two transfers, which was considered to ease the team's finances.

...

Liverpool's investment has improved the overall strength of the team. Although there are no big-name stars, the strength of the players is good. Gareth Barry and Glen Johnson have both proved themselves in the Premier League, and Gareth Bell has also performed poorly. vulgar.

The outside world has also given high praise to Liverpool's signing results this summer, but everyone believes that Liverpool's biggest achievement is to retain Yang Yang, which is a great guarantee for Liverpool's overall strength.

However, The Sun believes that although Yang Yang announced to stay in the team, he did not complete the contract renewal with Liverpool, so they speculated that Yang Yang's stay in the team was only temporary. It is rumored that Yang Yang is associated with the major football teams.

There are even gossip media reports that Yang Yang stayed in Liverpool because he was promised by the Middle East consortium that acquired Manchester City, and would switch to Manchester City with an astonishingly high annual salary a year later.

But Yang Yang didn't pay any attention to the rumors from the outside world.

...

After Liverpool completed the transfer, while the secret training camp in Switzerland, the European transfer market also began to enter a white-hot stage, especially the news from Serie A and La Liga.

After Mourinho was rejected by Barcelona, ​​he announced to coach Inter Milan. The Portuguese madman waved his checkbook as soon as he took office. He spent 60 million euros in one summer to buy Quaresma, Coutinho, Players such as Montari and Mancini have caused huge movements in European football.

Not to be outdone, AC Milan, the rivals in the same city, bought Ronaldinho and Zambrotta, then loaned Shevchenko back from Chelsea, loaned Senderos from Arsenal, and returned to Arsenal on loan. Flamini was introduced on a free transfer.

Galliani continues his shrewd operation, not spending much money, but the player's card is very large.

In La Liga, after introducing players such as Sedou Keita, Pique, Alves and Hleb, Barcelona failed to introduce Villa in the end, but they were sitting on top players such as Henry, Eto'o and Messi. Star, Barcelona is still the most terrifying super team in European football.

After Real Madrid failed to operate Cristiano Ronaldo, it also hit a wall with Villa and Aguero. Calderon finally introduced young players such as Garet, Xiaohong De La Red and Xavi Garcia. But sold Cassano and Van der Vaart, of which Van der Vaart went to the Premier League to play for Tottenham Hotspur.

After the introduction of Ronaldinho failed, Robinho announced his departure from the team. Calderon did everything possible to keep him, but the Brazilian star had already decided to leave, but in the end it was not Chelsea, who had just started a private life with Robinho. , but went to Manchester City, which had just received capital from the local tyrants in the Middle East.

The transfer fee is as high as 42 million euros, and Manchester City has become the standard king of the transfer market this summer.

And then Kompany was introduced from Hamburg, Wright Phillips from Chelsea, Zabaleta from Espanyol, and Brazilian players from the Russian Super League if...

With the transfer of Manchester City, this Premier League upstart has also surpassed Liverpool and became the team that invested the most in Premier League transfers this summer. There are even rumors that Manchester City is further strengthening the signings, and the target even includes Kaka.

For a time, the entire European football has set off a huge wave.

Time slipped silently into August.

Liverpool returned to England after a warm-up lap in Europe, while Yang Yang quietly flew back to Beijing from London.

The Olympics have begun!
