super storm

Chapter 564
Of course Yang Yang couldn't take a free kick as a penalty.

In fact, no one can do this, even the legendary Zola, who has a free kick success rate of 30.00% and five, can't do it, because the Italian legend is at most three goals and one goal.

Although I have not seen formal official statistics, the shooting percentage of top free kick shooters like Juninho Jr. and Mikhailovich should also be in their early twenties, that is, about five goals and one goal. Beckham will be relatively lower, probably around fifteen to twenty.

The advantage of Juninho Jr. lies in the comprehensiveness of his free kicks, and he is almost not restricted by the angle. In addition to the front of the penalty area, which everyone is proficient in, he can even take the penalty near the corner area, and he can also take ultra-long-range free kicks over 35 meters away.

This is the terrible part of Juninho's free kick stunt.

Yang Yang is just getting started at the moment. After more than two months of hard training, he has learned a little bit, but in terms of hit rate, he is not yet ranked high.

Of course, this group of Liverpool players is obviously not much better.

……

In the first round, at this point outside the left corner of the penalty area, each player took three free throws. Aurelio had the worst score and missed all three free throws.

Xavi Alonso faced the goal twice, but failed to create a threat. Gerrard once was slightly higher, once he created a threat, and once he hit the wall directly.

Yang Yang created threats all three times, with high stability. He scored directly with the first kick. With the second kick, he suddenly took a penalty from a near corner, and caught Reina by surprise. The result was a little bit wide. However, with the third kick, he still made a penalty at the near corner and also created a threat, but was saved by Reina.

Judging from the competition of the first free throw point among the three players, Yang Yang is undoubtedly in the leading position.

Everyone was also a little puzzled. Unexpectedly, Yang Yang really came prepared.

Those teammates who didn't bet on him before also regretted it at this time.

There is a saying that is true, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

Who can become a professional player in the Premier League, which one is not excellent in footwork?Which one of the best football players in the world?
In the eyes of these Liverpool players, they can naturally see some clues, especially Yang Yang's improvement in free kicks.

Benitez and Yesterdan were also quite surprised, because they did not expect that after two months of absence, Yang Yang would actually be practicing free kicks hard, and it seemed to be quite fruitful. This has to be said to be a very surprising thing.

If Liverpool can really have a free kick expert, it will definitely be a great thing.

……

From left to right, there are a total of five points at the front of the penalty area, and each player takes three free kicks at each point.

Judging from the results of taking free kicks, Yang Yang's stability and threat level have always been ranked first. Among the fifteen free kicks, he scored a total of three free kicks, one for the far left, one for the left, and one for the center.

But what is surprising is that Yang Yang tried to use his left foot to take the penalty at the two points on the right and the far right.

At the point on the right side, he used his left foot to take a penalty once, which was quite threatening, and at the point on the far right, he used his left foot to take a penalty three times, one of which created a threat and almost scored a goal, and the other two kicks were out of standard.

This shocked everyone on the scene, because he was not only practicing free kicks, but also wanted to try to shoot left and right, which was really difficult.

Gerrard scored two goals, followed by Yang Yang, and Aurelio also scored two goals, one in the center and one off the right. The quality of both kicks is good, but he is still not as good as Gerrard in terms of threatening the ball.

Harvey Alonso threatened the ball a lot, but only one of the fifteen shots hit the center.

This contest finally ended with Yang Yang's victory, which also made the Liverpool players who came to watch the match very excited. After all, the final result was still very surprising.

Three days away from Shi, when you look at it with admiration.

No one expected that after two months of absence, Yang Yang would practice free kicks.

Yang Yang was also grinning from ear to ear, because he won, and Gerrard, Harvey Alonso and Aurelio took turns to treat him to dinner.

In addition, Carragher also won a lot, and other people also had to raise money to treat them.

……

"Have you practiced free kicks hard recently?" Gerrard and Harvey Alonso were both a little unconvinced by the loss.

They all have their own free throw areas that they are good at. Similar to this kind of free kick competition outside the penalty area, it is quite disadvantageous for them to compete for free kicks in five different positions, but they have to admit that even in the front of the penalty area, Yang Yang's stability is still very high, and the threat level is quite large.

"I've been practicing for two months." Yang Yang said with a smile.

"Who do you learn from?"

"Anyone can learn. I specially collected a lot of free kick videos of other people, such as Zola, Carlos, Juninho, Pirlo and Ronaldinho. After I watched them, I slowly pondered and learned them."

Gerrard and Harvey Alonso looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Their biggest impression of Yang Yang is not only from his performance on the court, but also from his hard work off the court. This is the root cause of Yang Yang's continuous progress.

"It seems that my position as the number one free kick shooter in this team is going to be given up." Gerrard said reluctantly.

Harvey Alonso nodded hurriedly. Judging from the competition just now, Yang Yang is indeed the most lethal free kick shooter in the team. It is only natural that he will take the penalty.

"Don't be kidding, I'm not good enough for now, the most I can do is to serve as your deputy, first get familiar with it." Yang Yang said with a smile.

He's not being modest, after all, Gerrard has always been the team's number one free-kick shooter, so it's impossible for him to abdicate all of a sudden, right?

Besides, this kind of thing still needs to be approved by the head coach.

"However, you still have to invite the meal." Yang Yang changed the subject and said with a smile.

And when he was about to go to the locker room, he happened to see Aurelio's resentful eyes, as if saying, I treat you so well, how can you bully me like this?
This immediately made Yang Yang feel even happier.

…………

…………

Yang Yang returns, Liverpool is full for the first time in the new season.

Benitez also immediately started the final preparations before the season.

In the last ten days, he and the coaching staff must adjust the player's state as soon as possible to prepare for the first round of the new season, a guest at Birmingham, and an away game against Aston Villa.

A week before the start of the new season, the Community Shield, known as the Premier League skirmish, also ignited the flames of war.

League champions Manchester United and FA Cup champions Chelsea ended up in a one-to-one draw, but in the end Manchester United defeated Chelsea in a penalty shootout and successfully won the new season's Community Shield.

This game has a very strong warm-up nature and doesn't have much substantive significance, but after the game, many media began to mention the so-called Community Shield Cup curse.

That is to say, the teams that win the Community Shield in the new season often miss the league championship.

Of course Ferguson scoffed at this, but Mourinho's Chelsea is also ambitious, and Liverpool, which only won the league runner-up last season, is also ambitious to make a comeback this season.

Since there will be the European Cup in [-], and the European Cup will start in early June, the leagues of all countries must allow enough time for preparation and adjustment to the European teams.

The Premier League has also directly entered a weekly double match from the very beginning. From August [-]th to early September, there will be a total of five league rounds. Liverpool, as the Champions League champion, will play another UEFA Super Cup halfway through. The competition is under great pressure.

For the new season, Liverpool are full of confidence.

The Champions League last season greatly improved the morale and fighting spirit of the team, and made everyone in Liverpool more confident. I believe that the team can perform better in the Premier League and the Champions League in the new season.

Before the start of the season, Yang Yang accepted an interview on Liverpool's official website. He publicly stated that the team's goal for the new season is the league championship. He believes that Liverpool already has the strength to challenge for the league championship.

"After last season's Champions League, I believe everyone in the team is full of confidence. We will attack the league title that has been absent for nearly 20 years."

"Of course, I know it's hard, but because it's hard, all of us will work harder and focus more."

"Although it has only been a few days since I returned to the team, I have seen high fighting spirit, strong self-confidence, and expectations for the new season from every teammate. We are a united team. I believe we will go all out in the new season and achieve satisfactory results."

Regarding whether he can continue the outstanding performance of last season, Yang Yang expressed that he has enough confidence.

"I don't think it's enough to just continue the performance of last season. I'm only 20 years old. After October, I'm only 21 years old. I think I still have a lot of potential to tap, so I won't be satisfied with the status quo. I hope to perform better and show a better state to repay the team and the fans."

Yang Yang didn't say it clearly, but he knew very well in his heart that the selection of the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or is at the end of the year, so his performance in the next three to four months is also a very important reference factor.

He needs to continue his excellent performance during this period of time.

Therefore, during his stay in China, he has been practicing hard according to the training plan tailored for him by Winston Bogard. During the Asian Cup, he was not in the best condition, and his goal is the new season.

"There is a saying in my hometown that a man should be cruel to himself, and he should push himself to death."

Yang Yang said lightly.

The original words here are a common saying in his hometown. Before the age of 40, a man must push himself to death, which means to remind young people to dare to break through and fight hard without any scruples.

"I scored 25 goals in the Premier League last season, and my goal in the new season is to go further and strive for more than [-] goals, or even more. I think I can do it, and I will definitely try my best to do it!"
