Chapter 453 This is Anfield! [The seventh update of the explosive liver, please subscribe to the monthly pass]

In the morning, a flight from London landed slowly at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport.

Not long after, Yang Yang in casual clothes and Mino Raiola with a big belly appeared at the exit of the airport, and were quickly recognized by the Liverpool fans at the scene.

"Hey Yang, welcome to Liverpool!"

"Welcome to our Liverpool!"

"You are great, Yang, please score more goals for us!"

"In the new season, I will go to the home court to cheer for you, Yang!"

"Hey come on Young, here you will be the best player in the Premier League and Europe!"

……

Yang Yang clasped his hands together and kept questioning the fans, with a friendly smile on his face.

As for fans' requests for autographs, he never refuses.

But there were more and more fans at the scene, and even media reporters who heard the news began, which made Raiola and the Liverpool staff member George Owen who came to pick him up feel that he could not continue like this.

Yang Yang is going to undergo the club's medical examination this morning, and then he will go to Anfield Stadium to hold a press conference and officially sign the contract, so before that, he must hurry up.

After being reminded by Mino Raiola and George Irving, Yang Yang had to apologize to the fans afterward.

In the end, under the protection of the security personnel at the airport, he left the airport and took a car to the hospital.

As soon as he got in the car, Yang Yang called Su Ye who was far away in London, telling her that he had arrived and reassuring her.

Later, Su Ye will fly to Liverpool from London.

The school will not start until September, and Su Ye will not go back until the end of August. During this period of time, she will stay in Liverpool to accompany Yang Yang, mainly renting a house and dealing with some life affairs, such as hiring a reliable full-time housekeeper.

After renting the house, Yang Yang's luggage and the Porsche Cayenne left at Uncle Almere's house can be shipped to Liverpool, and he will officially start his career in Liverpool.

After hanging up the phone, Raiola patted Yang Yang's shoulder with a smile, "In the next period of time, I can rest assured that Su Ye will be with you, and I will take care of Zlatan's affairs later."

Yang Yang nodded, "Greetings to Zlatan for me, and tell him that if you need my help, just ask."

"I will."

Juventus has announced their relegation, and the players in the Old Lady are scrambling to leave the team, especially a young player like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, how can he accompany Juventus to the second tier league?
Although the club promised to upgrade in a year, God knows if it can be achieved?

Besides, it is unacceptable for any rising professional player to play in the second-tier league when he is playing.

But it is not easy to persuade Juventus to let people go.

Yang Yang had called Zlatan Ibrahimovic before, and the Swedish center revealed that Juventus did not intend to let him go, but hoped to keep him or even offer a more lucrative contract extension.

"That's bullshit. The contract extension was supposed to be given to me, but now it's used to keep me. There is no sincerity, and I can't see any integrity. I'm going crazy!" Zlatan Ibrahimovic was very anxious on the phone.

For him, this may be a lifetime thing, who is not anxious?

For Juventus, whether it is a one-year or two-year promotion, there is not much difference at all, but for professional players, the meaning is completely different, especially for players of Ibrahimovic's age.

…………

George Owen took Yang Yang to a hospital that cooperated with Liverpool for a medical examination.

Team medical director Mark Waller and Rob Price and other team doctors were waiting in the hospital, and they cooperated with the hospital to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of Yang Yang.

The final conclusions are also quite satisfactory.

"It seems that during this period of time, even if you are on vacation, you haven't relaxed your training, as expected." Mark Waller looked at the medical report and laughed.

This summer, Liverpool signed several players, but among them Yang Yang's physical examination report is the most eye-catching, even Dirk Didier, who didn't play much during the World Cup, can't compare.

As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Yang Yang was able to quickly improve himself in Ajax, and within three years of his debut, he became a hot first-line star in European football. It is definitely not for nothing.

From the hospital to Anfield, you have to go through Goodson Park first.

Interestingly, the straight-line distance between the home courts of these two rival teams in the same city is only 750 meters.

Walking into Anfield Road and entering the Anfield Stadium through the Shankly Gate, George Owen told Yang Yang that the famous Hillsborough monument is right next to the Shankly Gate.

Yang Yang is naturally aware of the Hillsborough tragedy, but this incident was caused by negligence, and at the same time led to Liverpool's rapid decline from the peak of Europe.

The car stopped at the gate of the Anfield stadium office, and George Irving took Yang Yang and Raiola directly into the office.

The club's chief executive, Rick Parry, and head coach Rafael Benitez were waiting for him in one of the conference rooms.

When Yang Yang arrived, he and the lawyer entrusted by Raiola had further confirmed the contract, making sure that there was no problem, and handed Yang Yang a pen, and Yang Yang did not doubt that he was there, and signed his name on it.

From now on, he no longer belongs to Ajax, but to Liverpool.

According to this contract, Yang Yang's current weekly salary has reached 12 pounds, but this is before tax. The club will pay 40.00% of his income tax while paying his salary and bonus every month.

In addition, whether it is the goal bonus, the championship bonus, or the personal honor bonus, there has been a very obvious improvement.

In addition, there is a clause in the contract, that is, if Yang Yang wins the Champions League or the league championship for Liverpool, or wins some world-class personal honors, he has the right to ask the club to renew his contract with a salary increase.

It can be said that this is a very sincere contract, but behind this contract, Adidas has also contributed a lot.

But it is a pity that Yang Yang's portrait rights still belong to himself, but since Adidas is also a sponsor of Liverpool, so in some promotional marketing, Yang Yang's portrait rights can also be used appropriately, but a fee is required.

As for what happened specifically, it is too complicated to say, and Yang Yang himself can't figure it out, and Raiola will be responsible.

The contract is for a period of five years, not counting the renewal. After the expiration, Yang Yang will be 24 years old.

After Yang Yang signed his name, coach Mino Raiola took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Yang Yang.

"Welcome to Liverpool!"

Yang Yang also quickly stood up and shook hands with Benitez.

But when he saw the Spaniard, he was a little surprised to find that Benitez actually smiled.

That evening in Beijing, he chatted with the Spaniard for a long time, but he never saw Benitez smile the whole time.

But now he actually smiled.

Tie Shuai, who has always been known for his serious smile, actually smiled, which really surprised Yang Yang, and it was a bit weird at the same time.

He vaguely sensed that Benitez was not as indifferent as the outside world rumored.

An apathetic man cannot bring out the passion of Liverpool, even if Gerrard mentioned Paco Yesterdam.

Perhaps, he put all his passion into football!

…………

England is very different from other European leagues, that is, the teams here never go to press conferences with great fanfare to recommend their newly signed players.

"Usually, we would sign our players quietly, even in a near-secret way, but your value is as high as 4000 million euros, and your transfer has attracted the attention of fans all over the world. In Liverpool, there are also countless fans looking forward to you. Therefore, we must make you public at Anfield Stadium today."

Benitez led Yang Yang to the locker room, explaining as he walked.

Yang Yang is already mentally prepared.

According to what he learned, when other players, including Harvey Alonso and others signed contracts, they just came over in casual clothes, changed into a Liverpool jersey, held up a Liverpool scarf, let the club's photographers take pictures, and forwarded them to the media around the world. The whole process was very low-key and confidential.

But Yang Yang's process is obviously different.

He was first brought to the home team locker room by Benitez.

The locker room at Anfield is not spacious, even smaller than Ajax's home team locker room. There are photos of the Shankly era hanging on the wall. In Benitez's words, this represents the inheritance of the club's culture.

"In the future, in this city and this team, you will often hear the name Shankly, and you will know that this is the team that values ​​cultural heritage the most in the world, and the essence of Liverpool's culture lies in the place where you are standing now."

Yang Yang looked at this simple, even crowded locker room, with more respect in his eyes.

As a Chinese, he has a unique sense of identity with cultural heritage.

"I've been here for two years, but I haven't been able to fully enter their hearts yet, but this is my goal." Benitez said with emotion.

And here they are obviously not just Liverpool fans and players, but others.

Yang Yang put on the new season jersey that Liverpool had prepared for him, with his name printed on the back and his Liverpool number, which is NO.11 just like Ajax.

The red jersey and the white Carlsberg advertisement on the chest are very similar to the jerseys of the Chinese national team. Yang Yang has a sense of intimacy.

As Benitez left the locker room, walked along the player tunnel to Anfield.

There is a conspicuous red picture on the top of the entrance of the passage, with the Liverpool team logo on it, and a sentence from Shankly.

"This is Anfield!"

Benitez motioned Yang Yang to join him, put his hands on this sentence, and let the club's photographers take pictures.

"Shankly put this sentence here to remind all those who are about to step into the stadium, let them know that they are about to be on the most amazing and greatest stage in the world."

Yang Yang felt a heavy feeling.

It was the first time he walked into Anfield, but he already felt the difference of this club.
