Chapter 458 This is the Premier League!
Yang Yang was injured!

This piece of news quickly aroused great repercussions all over the world, especially in the UK.

As soon as they heard that Yang Yang was injured, the major media frantically reported it like it was Christmas.

First, the Independent newspaper focused on the news of Yang Yang's injury and retirement, and implicitly implied to readers that Yang Yang was likely to repeat the same mistakes that Robben had made before, that is, there were many injuries.

In this report by The Independent, the first thing mentioned is the gap in difficulty between the Eredivisie League and the Premier League, saying that Yang Yang is comfortable in the Eredivisie League, but he seems very uncomfortable in the faster-paced and more competitive Premier League.

"There's no question he's trying to fit in with Liverpool, but just the warm-up games are already too much for him."

The Independent stated that Yang Yang was injured in the first game, which cast a shadow over his prospects in the Premier League.

"I believe that anyone who has watched Chelsea games will not doubt the strength and talent of Arjen Robben, but they will also not forget that in the past two seasons, Robben has recovered almost as many games as he has played. This is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea."

"Mourinho always wants to get Yang Yang, one of the important reasons is that Robben is frequently injured."

"Whether it is Mourinho or Chelsea, they are gradually losing patience with Robben."

"The lessons learned by Robben are undoubtedly worthy of Yang Yang's vigilance, because Liverpool have placed higher expectations on him. He is a player who spent Liverpool's highest transfer fee in history, 4000 million euros, while Robben only spent 800 million euros on Chelsea. There is a huge gap between the two."

At the end, The Independent quoted so-called insiders who believed that Yang Yang's type of winger killer is often prone to injuries, especially in the fiercely competitive environment of the Premier League.

……

Coincidentally, the Daily Mail also published a comment, thinking that Yang Yang had just joined, and in the first official game of the new season, he was injured after only playing 10 minutes. This is definitely not a good sign.

But the Daily Mail did not mention other players, but questioned Yang Yang's ability to adapt to the Premier League.

"There is no doubt that in the Eredivisie he is a master of goalscoring."

"He has created a lot of goals. He has broken the scoring records of legendary stars such as Ronaldo and Van Basten. He uses different methods to score goals. His left foot and right foot are very good. Except for the header, he is almost perfect."

"He is like a scoring machine, constantly destroying the opponent's will to resist. Whether it is a close-range grab, or a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area, from simple push shots to extremely difficult world waves, he is easy to do. He is simply omnipotent."

"Yang Yang's style of play on the court is very chic and elegant, his skills are flexible and delicate, his thinking is quick, his running positions are extremely smart, his timing and position of goals are excellent, his speed and explosive power are very fast, Van Basten judged early on that he has the potential to become a top scorer, and the facts have proved that he is indeed the case."

"But, that's only in the Eredivisie!"

"In the past many years, countless cases have told us that there is a natural barrier between the Eredivisie and the Premier League. Countless Eredivisie talents have disappeared after landing in the Premier League. The most recent one is Kežman who played for Chelsea. He is a genius in the Eredivisie, but he is an out-and-out mediocrity in the Premier League."

"Although it's too early to say so, Yang Yang is likely to become the next Kaizhiman!"

……

The Manchester Evening News reported Liverpool's first official game of the new season in a gloating tone.

The comment stated that Ferguson finally tried his best to keep Cristiano Ronaldo, and it was a very wise choice to give up Yang Yang, because the Portuguese has already adapted to the Premier League, but Yang Yang is far from it.

"Maybe he can kill the Quartet in the Eredivisie, but please don't forget, this is the Premier League!"

……

The Sun newspaper forwarded the analysis article of the Liverpool Echo, and at the same time commented that Liverpool's first game of the new season was indeed disappointing. Although they defeated Maccabi Haifa [-]-[-], Yang Yang's injury cast a shadow over this victory, especially the previous two-game losing streak in the warm-up match.

"There is no doubt that Yang Yang played an extremely important role in Benitez's tactical puzzle, and he did not even lose to captain Gerrard. Judging from the previous warm-up matches, although Yang Yang performed well, he did not show his peak state in Ajax, which made people feel a little disappointed."

"And now, Yang Yang's injury has put Liverpool's offense to the test again."

……

Henry Winter, the leading reporter of the Telegraph, forwarded the comments of Dalglish and Alan Hansen in his column article. These two famous Liverpool players are full of confidence in Yang Yang's future.

Kenny Dalglish said in a telephone interview with Winter, "Yang Yang is the most important summer signing in Liverpool's history, and he is also the best summer signing. He is only 19 years old, but from his past performance, I think of Ian Rush."

Ian Rush is Liverpool's all-time leading goalscorer, explains Henry Winter.

"In the Premier League, injuries are very normal. No matter how strong or outstanding a player is, they will be injured. This is not scary at all. The key lies in your own mentality. You have to be brave enough to accept the challenge of the Premier League instead of being afraid."

"This is a league for the brave. As long as you can gain a foothold here and show your best strength, then you will become even stronger!"

Alan Hansen agrees with Dalglish's remarks very much, and said that he has received a lot of news from inside Liverpool, and believes that Yang Yang's injury came suddenly and unexpectedly. "The specific details are not clear to outsiders, but what I want to say is that everyone is full of confidence in him, including Benitez."

"A strong locker room is Liverpool's tradition, and now, everyone in the locker room is helping Yang Yang overcome adversity and return to the game as soon as possible. I believe he will come up with a satisfactory answer soon."

……

The Times conducted an exclusive interview directly with Liverpool coach Benitez.

The Spanish coach publicly stated that Yang Yang's injury is indeed a bit surprising, but it will not affect the team's trust in him.

"All of us are supporting and waiting for him to come back, he will play an important role in the new season."

…………

…………

The outside world has been disturbed and hyped.

Yang Yang also received the wind to some extent, but he still came to Melwood the next day, accompanied by George Owen.

Along the way, George Owen kept comforting Yang Yang, telling him that everyone in the club still had full confidence in him, and at the same time brought him a shocking news.

Fitness coach Justo Lillo, who has been on the job for less than two months, has been fired.

"It was a decision made yesterday by the coaching staff, and the reaction from the players has been positive."

After hearing this, Yang Yang nodded silently.

Professional leagues are brutal, not just for players, but for coaches and employees as well.

Justo Lillo is still very young, but his experience is indeed lacking. Judging from what Yang Yang felt after getting in touch with him, he is indeed not suitable to be on his own, and it will be a matter of time before he is fired.

After arriving at Melwood, many players, including captain Steven Gerrard, came forward to appease Yang Yang and let him recover from his injuries.

"All of us are waiting for your return!"

The words of comfort from Gerrard and his teammates made Yang Yang feel very warm.

Then, Yang Yang asked George Irving to take him to the team doctor's room first, and then to the head coach's office.

Benitez and Paco Yesterdan are there.

Seeing Yang Yang coming, the two asked about his injury with great concern. They had already received the report on the specific situation, and they were more concerned about Yang Yang's emotions, so as to comfort him so that he didn't need to worry and healed up as soon as possible.

"Although we will not disclose it to the outside world, Justo Lillo will be responsible for this. We will re-find a more suitable fitness coach as soon as possible. During this period, Paco will be directly responsible for your rehabilitation training."

Yang Yang has a good impression of Paco Yesterdam, and the Spaniard's professional ability is not a problem at all, but Yang Yang still mentioned Winston Bogarde.

"He knows my body very well. He has been my personal trainer for the past two years, so I hope to let him participate in my rehabilitation plan. I guarantee that he will fully cooperate with the work of the coaching staff." Yang Yang proposed sincerely, and said that all expenses incurred by the personal trainer would be borne by himself.

It is not uncommon for players to have personal coaches. Many players even trust their personal coaches more than the coaching staff. This kind of thing is very common.

Benitez discussed with Yesterdan, and now that Liverpool's fitness coach is vacant, Yang Yang's personal trainer will be in charge of his rehabilitation training, which is not unacceptable.

"Yes, I agree to your request." Benitez agreed.

Yang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, with Winston Bogard around, he felt more at ease.

Paco Yesterdan obviously also noticed Yang Yang's expression, and introduced the situation outside to him with a smile.

"The British media is different from other countries. They like to make stars very much, because every star is their natural hype material, and their reports are obviously biased. For example, the Telegraph and The Times are biased towards Liverpool, the Daily Mail is biased towards Chelsea, and the Independent is biased toward Arsenal."

Speaking of this, Yesterdan said with a chuckle: "If you understand this, then you should know which newspapers you can just ignore in the future."

It was only then that Yang Yang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Independent newspaper did not forget to take out Robben and step on it when it fired him for his injury. It turned out that they were supporting Arsenal, Chelsea's mortal enemy.

As for the Manchester Evening News, it goes without saying that they support Manchester United.

And different newspapers obviously cater to different fan audiences.

Although the media is suspected of deliberate hype, the club still attaches great importance to public opinion, so it specially arranged for Yang Yang to be interviewed by the official TV station.

And Yang Yang was also in the interview, calling out his first goal of the new season with confidence.
