Chapter 657 Yang Yang's Substitute

On the day when Liverpool's pre-season training camp started, it was rarely a sunny and sunny day.

Yang Yang drove his Porsche Cayenne, carrying Winston Bogard, to Melwood ahead of schedule.

The Dutch fitness coach arrived in London the day before yesterday. At that time, Yang Yang accompanied Su Ye to report to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and rented an apartment near the school. In the next year, Su Ye will accompany Yang Yang to live in the UK.

Interestingly, when Su Ye's manager in China released the news about studying abroad, her fans and movie fans in China actually recognized and praised her more, because they all saw Su Ye's pursuit of acting career.

It is not easy to be able to come to London for a year of study at this critical stage of rapid career growth and success.

Liverpool suffered a lot of injuries in the past season, among which Daniel Agger was injured and retired for a long time, which made Liverpool's coaching staff very dissatisfied, so this time they specially invited Winston Bogard to the team and will help the coaching staff train players throughout the training period.

Yang Yang and Winston Bogarde are already very close buddies. With his training volume, of course, he will not have a headache for the Dutchman's devil training, but the rest of Liverpool may be miserable.

……

The two arrived in Melwood and parked the car at their usual location. Yang Yang accompanied Winston Bogard in, met with Benitez and others, and talked about many things, but never mentioned Yang Yang's transfer this summer.

This is a kind of tacit agreement.

Yang Yang asked about the current situation of the team with concern, mainly about the summer signings.

Benitez said that the team is operating at full capacity and the target is British local players, because UEFA has issued a new rule a few years ago that all teams signing up for the Champions League must have a considerable number of local players.

However, UEFA has given a gradual process. In [-], there were four players, in [-], there were six players, and this summer it reached eight players. Liverpool currently does not meet the regulations, so local players must be introduced.

Of course, if it is really not possible, local young players can also be recruited from the youth team, but this will take up precious places for participation, because young players in the youth training camp cannot participate directly without signing up.

"Currently we are trying our best to introduce Gareth Barry from Aston Villa. You know this player has a very good professionalism, but also focuses on the game, and his personal ability is also very good. He will be a strong supplement to our midfield."

Gareth Barry is a very good midfielder in England. He has played quite well with Aston Villa in the past few seasons. Liverpool wanted to get him as early as the winter break of last season, but it has never been negotiated.

"Is there a problem?" Yang Yang asked with a smile.

Yesterdam shrugged, "We offered Garfinnan 500 million euros, but Aston Villa don't want Finnan, they want cash, so we still need to talk about it now."

Yang Yang nodded with a smile, but didn't comment.

"By the way, look at the three." Benitez took three documents from the desk behind him and handed them to Yang Yang. "At present, we want to get one of these three players, so that your pressure in the new season will be reduced a lot."

Yang Yang nodded and found him a suitable substitute, which is what the Liverpool coaching staff was doing last season.

I have tried a lot before, such as letting Riise come to play the left winger, let Benayoun and Pennant both play this position, but it has never been effective, so that for a period of time, as long as Yang Yang does not play, Liverpool will switch to [-].

Albert Riera, tall and strong, powerful winger, Spanish international, but did not participate in this year's European Cup, performed well in the Espanyol team, but the disadvantage is that he is not a local player in England.

Stuart Downing, Middlesbrough's left winger, England's native left winger, needless to say about his performance, Yang Yang is quite familiar with him, knowing that this player is fast and a local player, in line with Liverpool's current positioning.

However, it is not easy to let Middlesbrough release people. It is said that the asking price has reached 500 million pounds.

Gareth Bale, Tottenham Hotspur's left-sided player, can play left back, left midfielder and left winger, one-stop player, very fast, and has an excellent free kick technique. He got a lot of opportunities in Tottenham Hotspur last season, but unfortunately suffered a serious injury.

And it's very interesting that when Gareth Bale played for Tottenham Hotspur, the north London side didn't even win a game.

He played eight league games on behalf of Tottenham last season, with two goals and one assist. In these eight league games, Tottenham have three draws and five losses, without winning a game. It happens that bale means disaster in English slang, so many Tottenham Hotspur fans think that he is the disaster star of the team.

19 years old, not very old, meets the requirements of Liverpool's local players, and is also a very talented young player in the UK. The price is relatively cheap, and overall it is not bad.

The three options have their own strengths, no wonder Benitez is having a hard time choosing.

……

"What do you think?" Benitez asked solemnly.

"I... don't understand." Yang Yang smiled and shook his head.

This transfer is not something he can casually participate in.

"In the end, it's for you to choose a substitute. You can give me some advice, and you can use it as a reference for us." Yesterdan laughed.

It was reported earlier that Yesterdan once wanted to go to Real Sociedad as the technical director, but later Benitez, Gerrard and others kindly persuaded him to stay, and Yang Yang chose to stay on the team, so he stayed and continued to serve as Benitez's assistant.

Yang Yang thought for a while, "Didn't we play against Tottenham Hotspur before? I think Gareth Bale played very well in that game. He was fast and explosive. He also created several threats from free kicks. His strength is still very strong. I just don't know how he recovered after being injured and absent for so long."

"We've figured it out, and it's recovering well." Yesterdan replied.

Yang Yang nodded, "I think Gareth Bell is the more threatening of the three, especially his speed."

Although Tangning performed well against Liverpool before, Yang Yang's impression was not as strong as that of Gareth Bale, perhaps because the Welshman's speed was too fast.

The Welshman made his debut in Saints Southampton in southern England. This team is known for its skills and has excellent youth training. Arsenal's Theo Walcott made his debut in Saints, and the Tigers and Gareth Bale are said to be good friends.

"OK, let's refer to it again." Benitez ended this conversation.

Before going out, Benitez gave Yang Yang a detailed pre-match preparation plan, which clearly introduced Liverpool's pre-season preparations. Eight warm-up games were arranged, which surprised Yang Yang.

Is it too much?
However, he quickly figured it out. Last season, the team got into shape very quickly, mainly because they played a lot of warm-up matches. Benitez obviously also tasted the sweetness of this aspect. He wanted to continue the strategy of last season and grab points after the start.

…………

…………

Yang Yang returned to the team on the first day and was warmly welcomed by the players and staff.

His staff in the team have always been very good. He will give gifts to everyone during the holidays, and he will help anyone who encounters any problems within his ability. Everyone is very happy with his stay in the team.

More importantly, they all know very well that Liverpool can make great achievements in the new season only if Yang Yang stays.

As a professional player, who doesn't want the team to achieve more honors?

Gerrard and Carragher are undoubtedly the happiest. Although they all know some inside stories about Yang Yang staying in the team, they are still excited.

"Fortunately, my house is still reserved and not rented out to others." Gerald said with a big laugh while hugging Yang Yang.

"That's natural. I haven't packed my luggage yet, so you threw me out?" Yang Yang was also joking.

Strictly speaking, the friendship between the two began as the landlord and the tenant, but as they fought side by side on the court and defeated strong enemies repeatedly, the friendship and friendship between them became more and more profound, and the relationship between Su Ye and Kuran has always been excellent.

Hearing that Su Ye was going to study in London, Kuran even went to London to help her choose a house to rent.

"No matter what, if you stay in the team, we will have more confidence this season!" Gerrard said ambitiously.

Yang Yang nodded, "Kill Manchester United and avenge last season!"

"Also, grab the World Player of the Year with Cristiano Ronaldo!" Carragher urged.

Everyone also followed suit.

It's really not that Liverpool players have blind confidence in Yang Yang, but because there is indeed such a possibility.

Although Yang Yang did not win the UEFA Champions League, he is the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League. This is the three consecutive seasons he has won the UEFA Champions League. He has won the UEFA Champions League assists for two consecutive seasons. More importantly, he won the Premier League championship and scored 34 goals.

In the history of the Premier League, Yang Yang's 34 goals are tied with Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. He is one of the players with the most goals in a single season in the history of the Premier League, and he is also the winner of the European Golden Boot.

But more importantly, Yang Yang is the best player in the Premier League. He is also the second player to score more than 60 goals in a single season in the Champions League in the past [-] years, tied with the legendary Gerd Muller.

It can be said that although Yang Yang does not have the Champions League, too many honors are enough for him to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

With so many honors, Yang Yang is definitely qualified to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yang Yang is also aware of this, he knows that he still has something to play, the key still depends on his performance in the next six months.

If he can suppress Cristiano Ronaldo in the past six months, he really hopes to successfully defend the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or.

And if you want to have a better performance in the first half of the year, you must adjust your state before the season.

Not only for the two supreme awards at the end of the year, but also for the Olympic men's football event in August, which is the first time in China's history to have the Olympic Games. Yang Yang is also full of longing for this event.

He believes that fans across the country are also looking forward to it and looking at him eagerly.

Thinking of this, when Yang Yang looked at his teammates again, his heart felt warm, and an unprecedented fighting spirit surged up.

"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Yang Yang smiled lightly.
