458 Next Robben!

Yang Yang returns to the list!

This news quickly made its way to the newspaper pages and even the front pages of major media across the UK on the morning of August 23.

The whole of Britain is looking forward to what this 19-year-old genius who spent 40 million euros to bring in a huge sum of money can bring to Liverpool.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, at the pre-match press conference the day before the game, Benitez said in a high profile that Yang Yang officially returned to the team, but refused to disclose whether he would or would be a substitute.

"The only thing I can reveal is that from training, I can feel that he is in very good shape, he is eager to play in the competition, and I believe he will play an important role in tomorrow's competition!"

Benitez's confidence also ignited the passion of Liverpool fans.

Especially with the day of the game, the focus of major British media attention has made the whole of Britain and even Europe pay attention to this game, and everyone is looking forward to Yang Yang's Premier League debut.

Alan Hansen definitely supports Yang Yang, but also stated in his column that he should not put too much pressure on Yang Yang, but should give him a more relaxed environment so that he can find the rhythm of the Premier League as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that with the trough of the turn of the century, Newcastle has long since lost its momentum as a Premier League team, but the foundation of this team has always been there, and Magpie has always been one of the most popular teams among the Premier League fans.

In the years when the turn of the century, Newcastle once fell to the middle and lower reaches, but since the new century, under the coach of old coach Bobby Robson, Newcastle ushered in a revival, ranking fourth, third and fifth in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.

However, with the rise of Chelsea, Newcastle declined again, ranking 14th in the Premier League in 200405, and the meritorious coach Robson was dismissed. In 200506, Liverpool legend Sones was hired, but there was no improvement. After the class was dismissed, assistant coach Glen Rodel put out the fire, and Newcastle showed his strength again.

He won the seventh place in the league last season, and Glenn Rodel was able to become a regular and stay in office, officially entering the front stage.

This summer, Newcastle's investment was also quite considerable, introducing Duff from Chelsea, Martins from Inter Milan, and loaned from Manchester United.

These signings and operations have greatly enhanced Newcastle's competitiveness, allowing the Magpie to defeat Vigan Sports 2-1 at home in the first round of the league. Glen Rodel was also ambitious to score points away.

Also at the pre-match press conference, the Newcastle head coach even threatened that Liverpool has suffered a lot of injuries now, and players such as Yang Yang, Carragher and Riser are all recovering from injuries, which will be an excellent opportunity for Newcastle.

"Liverpool, please be careful! We will be more brave on the road!"

This was also interpreted by the media as Glenn Rodel's provocation.

…………

The competition is held in the evening.

In the evening, Liverpool's bus slowly drove into Anfield Stadium and stopped at the entrance of the player's passage.

The Liverpool fans around had already surrounded him, all shouting the players' names, and many people were singing the team's song that you will never walk alone.

Captain Gerald took the lead and got him a burst of warm cheers and applause.

Subsequently, the appearance of each player was warmly welcomed by the fans.

When Yang Yang got off the bus, there was another burst of warm applause and cheers around him, and the momentum was not inferior to the team's captain Gerald, which also showed the love of Liverpool fans for him.

Yang Yang waved to the fans to thank the fans for their support.

Gerald smiled and patted his shoulder, and the two walked into the narrow player passage one after another.

Liverpool's locker room is small.

In a room, in the middle is a rectangular table that looks a bit like a workbench, and beside the wall is a bench, and above the bench is the hook for players to hang clothes. At this time, the hook is already full of players' clothes.

Yangyang No. 11's jersey is included.

Such a crowded locker room is not uncommon in European football, but the players have long been used to it.

Sitting on the bench, the opposite wall was posted with the photo of Shankley and his players that Yang Yang saw before.

He had a feeling that Liverpool seemed to be using this method to tell all players that there are things that have never changed in a hundred years, including the facilities in the locker room.

Next to Yang Yang is midfielder Xavi Alonso and on the other side is Dutch player Kuyt. They are both familiar with each other. After brimming each other with high-fives, he began to close his eyes and rest.

He needs to calm his emotions.

…………

…………

Newcastle came to Anfield Stadium a little earlier than Liverpool.

Therefore, their pre-match training ended earlier.

The reason is very simple. Glen Rodel formulated a game strategy to attack.

"I don't know if Yang Yang can play this game, nor how much his condition can recover, because I'm not Benitez, but I want to say that none of these matters!"

Glen Rodel has been recognized by everyone for his outstanding results after putting out the fire in the middle of last season.

"Liverpool want to score points at home, so they have to adopt more active tactics, but we all know their offense, they lack speed, sharp, sharp impact!"

This is not what Glen Rodel said, but the consensus of the entire Premier League.

The main reason why Liverpool did not perform well on all fronts last season and only won the FA Cup in the end was their offense, which is a very serious problem.

The lack of sharp speed is also a disadvantage of Liverpool's offense.

"Yang Yang has just returned from injury and is a newcomer. I don't think Benitez will arrange him. Of course, even if he is, I don't think he can bring any huge changes. We just need to stick to our own style of playing."

Glenn Rodelti's words were recognized by the players.

In fact, if you can get a goal at the start, it is perfect for Newcastle.

As long as you lead, Liverpool must push it out and play, and Newcastle will actively shrink and play the defensive counterattack.

The team has speed players like Martins and Duff, which is quite threatening in counterattacks.

If Newcastle really leads, Liverpool will be in a miserable state.

"Of course, we have to be careful. Yang Yang can make Liverpool spend 40 million euros, which is definitely not easy. Judging from the warm-up matches before, he should change his position. He used to play on the right, but at Liverpool, Benitez seems to want him to play on the left."

Speaking of this, Glenn Rodel looked at an Irishman with a buzz cut.

"Stephen, you will be responsible for watching him!"

The right-back named Stephen Carl clapped his hands hard, "Don't worry, boss, I'll keep an eye on him to death, let this nineteen-year-old boy see the horror of the Premier League!"

A burst of laughter suddenly rang in the locker room.

In fact, many people are not convinced by Yang Yang because everyone thinks that he is not worth 40 million euros at all.

The reason is very simple. How much does Rooney transfer to Manchester United cost?

Is the performance of the Eredivisie still convincing now?

What if Keirman, who swept the Eredivisie back then, came to the Premier League?

After Yang Yang joined Liverpool, he was injured after only ten minutes of his first official game, which undoubtedly further deepened the outside world's impression of him. Everyone felt that with his thin body, it was difficult to adapt to the fierce competition in the Premier League.

Stephen Carr thinks so too.

"You have to be careful, he is very fast." Glen Rodell reminded.

"How about Birobben?" Stephen Carl asked back.

Immediately, there was another burst of laughter in the locker room.

When Robben first entered the Premier League, he was known as the Dutch flyer and the flying Dutchman, but what happened?

He recovered almost as much as he did on the field.

And Yang Yang will be the next Robben!

Glen Rodel didn't say much anymore, it was not good to increase the morale of the opponent before the game and destroy his own prestige.

"Okay, everyone, what I need you to do next is to grab a good start at the beginning."

"We played well in the first round of the league, and we need to play well in the second round next!"

…………

…………

When the two teams walked into Anfield Stadium under the leadership of referee Mark Halsey, all the Liverpool fans in the audience were cheering.

Especially when the live commentator shouted the names of every Liverpool player, there was a burst of warm cheers at the scene.

"Our captain, Steven Gerrard!"

"Gerard! Gerard!"

"Our goalkeeper, Reiner!"

"Renner!"

"And our defender, Daniel Agh... Steven Finnan... Fabio Aurerio... Sammy Hypia..."

"Our midfielder Xavi Alonso...Mohamed Sisosoko..."

"And the forward line, Dick Kuyt on the right... Peter Crouch..."

"Of course, there is also the most important thing that we are, the young Chinese player Yang Yang who just recovered from injury!!!"

Instantly, the entire Anfield Stadium was in full bloom!

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang!!! Yang Yang!!!"

All the fans in the audience cheered Yang Yang's name, and the momentum was unforgettable!

Su Ye and Winston Bogard were sitting in the stands at Anfield Stadium, watching Yang Yang nervously walking into the stadium and greeting the fans. He looked full of confidence and calm.

"Good person, still so calm. I believe he is ready!" Winston Bogard praised.

Su Ye nodded vigorously.

She knew that Yang Yang had been carrying heavy pressure and burdens over the past ten days. He always felt a little ashamed of Liverpool fans and was always a little depressed.

And tonight, he looked full of fighting spirit.

He obviously planned to vent his depression and negative emotions over the past ten days tonight.

He wants to double the repayment to Liverpool fans!
