Chapter 543 The Big List of Dystocia

Cartagena in southern Spain is really hot in mid-May.

After Liverpool defeated Charlton [-]-[-] at home in the last round, the whole team assembled and headed south, chartered a flight to Murcia on the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and then transferred to a bus to head south to Cartagena.

After sitting southeast from downtown Cartagena for about half an hour, the bus arrived at La Manga Resort.

It is said that this is the best-known resort in Spain.

According to Yang Yang's evaluation, this place is located in barren mountains and wild ridges, and the surroundings look barren, but surrounded by mountains, it is indeed a good quiet place.

La Manga is a golf club with a history of more than 30 years. It has hosted many world-class golf events. It also has a golf academy, 28 tennis courts, and eight full-size football, rugby and cricket fields. Every year, many professional teams come here for training.

It is said that many European giants will choose here to come to winter training.

Mid-May is the season when the league is in full swing, so La Manga seems relatively empty, and more tourists come for vacation.

Liverpool has contracted two floors of one of the five-star hotels for players, employees and several specially hired physiologists to live in.

In the next seven days, the team will conduct secret training here to prepare for the Champions League final against AC Milan.

……

Yang Yang's parents, Shen Yuzhu, Wei Zhen and others have all made preparations long ago.

As soon as Liverpool reached the final, they flew to London immediately. When they were in Beijing, they specially invited Su Ye's parents, Su Wenhong and his wife, but in the end, Su Wenhong was going to lead the graduating class of senior high school, so they couldn't get a leave of absence. They had to tearfully let Ye Ziqing, who was able to invite the vacation, go to Europe to travel and watch the game instead.

Uncle Shen Ming and aunt also flew to London from Holland to meet Yang Yang's parents.

Before the team went south, Yang Yang specially sent Su Ye to London, handed over all his bank cards to Su Ye, and asked her to take everyone to play around, and then went to Athens, Greece to join them in the final.

Liverpool has already prepared hotels and rooms for them, and there will be someone to receive them at that time.

After the arrangements were made, Yang Yang felt relieved to accompany the team to the south.

……

May in Cartagena is really hot, as if Yang Yang returned to his hometown in the south of the motherland.

After staying in the rainy England for a long time, he really misses this scorching sun climate. Instead of being uncomfortable like others, he enjoys it.

As soon as he arrived in La Manga, he immediately went diving on the recommendation of his hotel, as there was a great diving club nearby.

But what Yang Yang likes, others are obviously not keen on it.

What Gerald and others enjoy most is undoubtedly the rich nightlife here. There are more than 20 bars in total, and restaurants with different tastes from all over the world. The choices are very rich. The only regret is that there are no beautiful women.

Pennant is undoubtedly the most depressed, because hooking up with beautiful women has always been his favorite.

Karts are everyone's favorite in the team.

After training every day, driving a go-kart for a lap on the main road of the resort, plus some bets, is definitely a very exciting enjoyment.

Yang Yang is also a go-kart enthusiast. If he disagrees with each other, he will make an appointment to fight. He will take a trip to Qiu Mingshan, er, no, it is a resort track.

There was no one in the resort, and they basically ran at full speed. Thirty kilometers per hour was indeed not fast, but it was exciting enough.

There was also an unexpected incident. Crouch's go-kart failed. As a result, the guy was too heavy and hit the anti-collision cardboard box on the side of the road.

But his car crashed directly off the track, the car was destroyed, and no one was injured.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help laughing that he could play the role in the Hollywood movie "Fast and Furious".

God knows how this two-meter-tall guy can jump out of the go-kart so nimbly?
Of course, even if it hits it, it's probably fine.

……

On the one hand, it is to relax and play completely, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the battle in an orderly manner.

Everyone in the team agreed with Benitez's decision to go south for training because it was too hot.

It is said that the end of May in Athens, Greece is hotter than Cartagena.

Everyone felt very painful about this, except Yang Yang, because he had spent summers in such hot weather since he was a child.

However, the training in Cartagena is still very effective, because Liverpool's players have gradually adapted to the hot weather, which will be more beneficial to the team's next game in Athens, Greece.

During these seven days, the players strictly followed the plan given by the coaching staff and the team of physiology experts. Eating, drinking, and laxity were all under strict control, and the training was basically based on recovery and adjustment.

Everything is to enable the team to show its best form in the Champions League final.

But the only thing is that there is no targeted tactical training at all.

Obviously, Benitez and the coaching staff are intensively studying how to restrain AC Milan.

Yesterdam left early on the fifth day of his arrival in Cartagena.

It is said that the team's hotel in Athens, Greece was not doing very well, so he rushed there to take charge.

After staying in La Manga for a week, the team also set off quietly to Athens, Greece.

…………

…………

The team arrived in Athens, Greece three days ahead of schedule.

After a week of adaptation, the players have adapted well to the heat of Athens.

Being separated from family members for a long time and staying away from normal life will still have some impact on the players' psychology.

Mostly it's boring and boring.

After Yesterdan came to Athens in person and dealt with the club's general manager Rick Parry personally, the team spent a little more money and booked a hotel with no star rating but a good reputation and facilities for players, employees, players' families, and famous guests of the club to stay.

The team arrived in Athens at night and had a holiday the next day, allowing the players to spend the day with their families.

Yang Yang also stays with his parents, relatives and friends all day long.

……

After four years of professional career, Yang Yang knows how to relax and adjust his state before the game.

Half lying down on the soft sofa in the hotel room, listening to the familiar voices of relatives and friends in his ears, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly distinguish who was talking.

That feeling is very pleasant and relaxing.

Yang Yang's mother and Su Ye's mother were discussing about their two children. From the initial marriage, to the later childbirth, and how many children they should have in the end, the two of them had a great time discussing.

As everyone knows, Yang Yang and Su Ye never thought about getting married so early.

They are both 20 years old.

Yang Yang's father, Wei Zheng, and Shen Yuzhu were discussing the company's affairs. Even though he was in Greece, he still controlled the company's affairs remotely. This depended on the company's management system reform in the past year, and it was said that many talents had been introduced.

Thanks to the upcoming Olympic Games in [-], the domestic sports industry has developed by leaps and bounds in the past few years. The company has developed very rapidly, and it has been developing at a high speed every year. This is the joint decision of Yang Yang's father and Wei Zheng to control it appropriately.

Both of them are relatively conservative. They both feel that after the Olympic Games, the growth rate of the sports industry will definitely slow down after going through a stage of rapid development.

The company's foundation is weak and cannot withstand the toss, so it would rather sacrifice some scale and stabilize the development results.

Especially in recent years, they have invested a lot of money in scientific research and design. They have established scientific research groups and design departments in Europe. They have gradually established their professional reputation in the field of running shoes and sponsored many influential domestic marathon events and marathon runners.

These were originally leftovers that were not valued by people, but they have been developing at a high speed in the past two years.

While Su Ye signed Armani, she also signed her first sports brand endorsement. The endorsement fee was not high, but she promised Wei Zheng that she would find time to run a marathon in the capital for them in December this year.

Since she has always had the habit of running in the Summer Palace in the past few years, running a marathon is also a challenge for her, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Yang Yang really didn't have time, so he didn't go to participate, otherwise, he could run away.

That night, Yang Yang invited everyone to have a delicious meal in the hotel, but he wanted to control his diet properly, so he only attended but did not participate.

Afterwards, Yang Yang stayed alone with Su Yewen for a while, and returned to the room on time within the team's stipulated time.

…………

…………

Two days before the game, Liverpool started a closed training camp, training against AC Milan.

The coaching staff also prepared a lot of materials and introduced the situation of AC Milan to each player in detail, especially focusing on the analysis of the previous rounds of AC Milan's league and Champions League matches.

Ancelotti used the Christmas tree formation of [-] in the last few games. The advantage is stability, because an extra Ambrosini participated in the protection of the defense line.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious, that is, the lack of wings in the midfield, and the offense relies heavily on Kaka.

The key to the Brazilian superstar's brilliance this season is that almost every attack of the team is initiated by him. As the most important player of AC Milan, he has naturally become the focus of fans all over the world.

This is like Yang Yang of Liverpool.

The frontcourt lacks wings, so the two full-backs Jankulovski and Odo must actively move forward to provide the team with offensive width. The two players will use every opportunity to launch a surprise attack forward.

Benitez decided to arrange Yang Yang to be on the left side, responsible for suppressing AC Milan's full-backs, and at the same time attacking behind them, thereby disintegrating the opponent's defense.

Gerrard is in charge of the middle lane, and he is still plugged in to provide the second echelon offense.

Mascherano and Harvey Alonso's task is to limit Kaka's organization and breakthrough, while restraining Seedorf.

The other positions are still uncertain for the time being, and they are obviously considering carefully.

This caused Liverpool's final squad to be somewhat difficult to produce.

Judging from the performance of the two teams this season, whether it is the overall strength or the performance of the players, Liverpool is obviously better than AC Milan, which is recognized even by the Italian media.

But there is no doubt that AC Milan is very good at passing and controlling, and is also very good at counterattack.

Therefore, this game is full of suspense.
