Chapter 593 Doesn't this count as having five people in a row?
After the Arsenal game, the media all over the world were full of noise and quarrels.

It was the British media that ignited the flames first, and the paparazzi paparazzi have clearly had enough.

The Catalan media has been hyping up this incident since the match between Messi and Getafe last season. They don’t know if it’s because Yang Yang led Liverpool to a two-round victory over Barcelona, ​​which led them to target Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally.

This time, when Yang Yang and Kaka competed for the highest honor, the Catalan media could have stood by and remained neutral, but they intentionally or unintentionally belittled Yang Yang, and even exchanged fire with the British media many times.

Naturally, the British media is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it keeps fighting back.

This time, Yang Yang scored such a wonderful goal in the game against Arsenal, which naturally caused the British media to fall into a collective carnival. Many media including the Sun even fired, saying that Yang Yang could also come and beat five players in a row.

But soon, the Catalan media counterattacked, thinking that this was not even five people in a row.

They don't deny that this goal is very beautiful and quite rare, but it's not five players in a row.

"At the very least, even in the statistics of the Premier League, it is not considered to be five players in a row."

The Catalan media almost took advantage of this to fight back, and ignored everything else.

The British media tried their best to prove that this was five people in a row.

As a result, the two sides opened fire from the original distance, and it directly turned into a hand-to-hand battle, which was a lot of fun.

……

Liverpool did not pay too much attention to the disturbances from the outside world, because the internal problems of the team had already made them overwhelmed.

The league is very long, and there are sudden changes anytime and anywhere, not only the head coach, but also the players.

Yang Yang has always been relatively simple, but he has a lot of recent things.

At the end of October, FIFA also announced the top ten candidates for the World Footballer of the Year.

As the champions of the Champions League, Liverpool has two players, Yang Yang and Gerrard, Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo alone, Chelsea has Drogba, Barcelona has Ronaldinho, Messi and Henry, Real Madrid has Cannavaro, and AC Milan has Kaka and Pirlo.

This is also known as the top ten football stars in the world today in the past year.

Entering the top ten for three consecutive years, Yang Yang's strength and performance have been completely recognized, and every year he has made a step up, the first time he was in the top ten, and then he was in the top five, and this time he is the favorite to win the championship.

After winning the best player of the season in UEFA, coupled with the promotion of major British and European media, Yang Yang has caught up with Kaka in the odds of major gaming companies, and the two are neck and neck.

But until the last moment, no one knew what the result would be.

Liverpool is also very supportive, from the general manager of the club, Rick Parry, to the head coach Benitez to the players, everyone fully supports Yang Yang, Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Carragher and other countries also support Yang Yang, thinking that he should get this award.

After playing Arsenal, Yang Yang will not participate because of the League Cup in the middle of the week. Benitez gave him two days off to rest and go out to relax.

Before the League Cup, several leading stars in the Liverpool team were invited to the center of Liverpool City to attend a dinner held there.

…………

…………

The standard of this dinner party is not low.

There are two sponsors, namely The Times, the most authoritative media in the UK, and Canal+, the most influential TV station in Europe. Among them, French TV station is still very influential in the selection of European Footballer of the Year.

In addition to Evans, the editor-in-chief of The Times, who contributed to this dinner, there is also the host currently working on Canal+ TV station, former Liverpool star and Champions League champion Michael Robinson. He is now in charge of a [Robinson Report] football program, and this time it is also for this program.

Liverpool also valued the influence of Canal+, so they cooperated very well. Apart from Yang Yang, Gerrard, Carragher, Crouch, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Reina and other top-tier stars basically all attended.

In addition, the Times also specially invited the club legends including Dalglish, Alan Hansen, Souness, Sammy Lee and Alan Hansen to be present.

The gathering of new and old players, together with The Times and Canal + TV, made this gathering even more grand.

Yang Yang himself knew very well that so many people specially prepared this party, they must also have the intention of building momentum for him.

Therefore, after coming to the scene, Yang Yang treated everyone very politely, especially when facing former celebrities such as Dalglish and Souness, he was even more grateful, because he had always noticed the support and solidarity of these celebrities.

It's not just because he's played well, it's because he's a Liverpool player.

Here, he really felt a kind of family warmth.

And he couldn't help but think of what Gerrard said when he just joined, that Liverpool's greatest achievement is that there is never any conflict in the dressing room, and everyone is very united.

……

When he first came to the venue, Yang Yang said the most words of thanks.

King Kenny Dalglish gave Yang Yang two gifts on behalf of the club's celebrities. One is a DVD disc, which collects all the recorded matches of Liverpool in the past 120 years, and the other is a book, which records the history of Liverpool in detail, from its establishment to the team's championship this summer.

"This is the latest edition. The last article in it is about you." Dalglish said quite emotionally.

This made Yang Yang feel somewhat excited, and felt like making history.

As for why Yang Yang was given these two gifts, Dalglish told Yang Yang, "I hope you can learn to enjoy the time of playing and playing in the club, and these two gifts can let you learn the history of this club and those things that make the club great."

And Yang Yang explained with a smile the headline on the front page of The Times not long ago, saying that he is the king of Anfield. Yang Yang said that he is not enough, "In Liverpool, only you are the king, and you will always be. I can't compare with you now."

Yang Yang's humility made Dalglish very happy, but he also thought that Yang Yang was too humble, "I really believe that you will become one of the greatest stars in Liverpool's history, really."

……

When the dinner began, it was Souness who spoke.

Yang Yang has heard a lot about the history of Liverpool, and a lot of it is about Souness, because the captain who was Liverpool's favorite, chose to leave the team during the most difficult period in the history of the club. This has made many people very dissatisfied with him, even hated him.

Before meeting Souness, Yang Yang had an impression of him as a famous Premier League coach, and he felt that his coaching style was quite tough. At first, he thought Souness would also be a very rough man, but unexpectedly, in private, he was a Scotsman in a suit and leather shoes, looking very elegant and full of charm.

Therefore, sometimes players are really two completely different types of people on and off the court, and so is the head coach.

For example, Liverpool's Riise, on the court, is very brave and desperately possessed by Saburo, but off the court, he is not a bit dull, and he doesn't even talk much.

God knows why he became like that on the court?

Yang Yang chatted with all the celebrities one after another, from Yang Yang's performance after joining, to the current status of the team, to other things.

Gerrard and other players were also listening, taking the conversation from time to time.

Souness believes that Yang Yang is Liverpool's most successful signing ever, even though he has only been here for more than a year, while Sammy Lee believes that Yang Yang is very similar to Ian Rush, who is Liverpool's all-time top scorer.

The impression given to Yang Yang by these celebrities is that they have no airs at all, and they don’t look like legendary celebrities at all. They feel more like old men basking in the sun in the corner of the Beijing city wall, especially when they discuss the team situation, each one is full of passion and speaks very hard.

For example, Souness believes that Benitez's rotation system is too thorough. The rotation should be appropriately reduced to maintain the overall stability of the team.

"I don't think that your current game requirements will be higher than ours at that time. Why?"

Souness asked and answered himself, his tone was so calm that one could believe that he was simply discussing, and he didn't mean to bash Benitez or the team in any way, just expressing opinions.

Because he is also a very good head coach in the Premier League.

"Of course, I don't deny that the competition is more intense now, and there will be more competitions, but you must know that your current competition preparation, training and physical fitness are better than ours at that time, whether it is a more balanced and healthy diet, and more adequate nutrition, and you are also better than us in terms of alcohol control."

"We played on Saturday, Wednesday, and Saturday, but I never felt tired, because fatigue is a psychological effect. When you lose a game, you will naturally feel tired."

Dalglish also agrees with this statement, "If you insist on telling a player that he is tired, then he will believe you, but if you tell him that he can continue to play, then he can continue."

"For a professional player, the only one who can beat yourself is always yourself."

This sentence of Dalglish left a deep impression on Yang Yang, although he didn't quite understand it.

……

At the end of the dinner, it evolved into a mutual thanks to each other.

Yang Yang thanked the celebrities and The Times for their support, and also expressed that he would continue to work hard.

His humble attitude was also unanimously affirmed by the celebrities, but these seniors did not take it too seriously, but instead thanked Yang Yang and others for listening to the nagging of these old men.

The two-and-a-half-hour dinner party had a very harmonious atmosphere, just like the Liverpool dressing room.
