Yang Yang is back on the list!

This news quickly made headlines in the newspapers and even the front pages of major media outlets across the UK on the morning of August 23.

The whole of Britain is looking forward to what this 19-year-old genius who has spent 40 million euros on Liverpool and brought in a lot of money can bring to Liverpool.

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

"The only thing I can say is that from training I can feel that he is in very good shape, he is eager to play and I am sure he will play an important role in tomorrow's game!"

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

Especially on the day of the game, the attention of major British media has made the whole of the United Kingdom, and even Europe, begin to 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 said in his column that Yang Yang should not be put too much pressure, but should be given a more relaxed environment so that he can find the rhythm of the Premier League as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that Newcastle has long since lost the momentum of the Premier League powerhouse with the turn of the century, but the roots of this team have always been there, and the Magpies have always been one of the most popular teams in the Premier League.

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

But with the rise of Chelsea, Newcastle declined again, ranking 14th in the Premier League in the 0405 season, and the meritorious veteran coach Robson was also dismissed, and the 0506 season hired Liverpool legend Souness, but there was no improvement, and after the halfway class, the assistant coach Glenn Rodell put out the fire, and Newcastle showed its strength again.

After finishing seventh in the league last season, Glenn Rodell was able to stay in the regular position and officially stepped into the forefront.

Newcastle have also invested heavily this summer, bringing in Duff from Chelsea, Martins from Inter Milan and Italian striker Rossi on loan from Manchester United.

These signings and operations have greatly strengthened Newcastle's competitiveness, allowing the Magpies to beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 at home in the first round of the league, and Glenn Rodell is also ambitious to pick up points on the road.

Also at the pre-match press conference, the Newcastle manager even threatened that Liverpool is now suffering from a lot of injuries, and players such as Yang Yang, Carragher and Reeser are recovering from injuries, which will be a great opportunity for Newcastle.

"Liverpool, please be careful! We'll be even braver away from home! ”

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

The tournament is held in the evening.

In the evening, Liverpool's bus slowly pulled into Anfield Stadium and stopped at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Liverpool fans have already gathered around them, all chanting the names of the players, and many are singing the team's anthem that you will never walk alone.

Captain Gerrard was the first to step off the bus, which gave him a round of cheers and applause.

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

And when Yang Yang stepped off the bus, there was an incomparably warm applause and cheers around him again, and the momentum was not lost to the team's captain Gerrard, which also showed the love of Liverpool fans for him.

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

Gerrard smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked into the narrow tunnel one after the other.

Liverpool's dressing room is small.

A room with a rectangular table in the middle that looks like a workbench and a bench on the wall, above which are the hooks used by the players to hang their clothes, which are already full of the players' clothes.

The jersey of Yang Yang No. 11 is among them.

Such a crowded dressing room is not uncommon in European football, but the players are used to it.

Sitting on the bench, the opposite wall was posted with the photo of Shankly and his players that Yang Yang had seen earlier.

He had the feeling that Liverpool were telling all the players that there were things here that hadn't changed in 100 years, including the facilities in the dressing room.

Yang Yang was flanked by midfielder Xavi Alonso and on the other side by Dutch player Kuyt, who were no strangers to each other, and after high-fives and encouragement, he began to close his eyes.

He needs to keep his emotions steady.

Newcastle arrived at Anfield a little earlier than Liverpool.

Therefore, their pre-game training also ended earlier.

The reason is simple, Glenn Rodell's game strategy is to attack.

"I don't know if Yang Yang can play this game, and I don't know how much his form can recover, because I'm not Benitez, but I want to say that none of this matters!"

Glenn Rodell has been recognized by everyone for his excellent results after fighting fires in the middle of last season.

'Liverpool want to pick up points at home, so they have to be more aggressive, but their attack, we all know it, they lack speed, they lack sharp, sharp impacts!'

That's not what Glenn Rodell said, it's the consensus of the whole 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 because of their attack, which is a very serious problem.

The lack of sharp pace is also a drawback for Liverpool's attack.

"Yang Yang has just returned from injury and is a newcomer, I don't think Benitez will start him, of course, even if he starts, I don't think he can make any huge changes, we just need to stick to our own style of play."

Glenn Rodell's words were echoed by the players.

In fact, to be able to grab a goal at the start of the game is perfect for Newcastle.

As long as they are ahead, Liverpool must press out and play, and Newcastle will take the initiative to shrink and play defensive counter-attacks.

The team has speed players like Martins and Duff who are quite dangerous on the counter-attack.

If Newcastle really gives the lead, then Liverpool will be miserable.

"Of course, we have to be careful, Yang Yang can make Liverpool spend 40 million euros, which is definitely not easy, judging from the pre-season warm-up games, he should change his position, he used to play on the right side of Ajax, but at Liverpool, Benitez looks like he wants him to play on the left."

With that, Glenn Rodell looked at an Irishman with a shoehorn in his head.

"Stephen, you'll be in charge of keeping an eye on him when the time comes!"

The named right wing-back Stephen Carr clapped his hands vigorously, "Don't worry, boss, I'll keep an eye on him, let this nineteen-year-old kid see the horrors of the Premier League!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

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

The reason is very simple, how much did Rooney transfer to Manchester United cost back then?

Is the Eredivisie's performance still convincing?

Kezman, who swept the Eredivisie that year, what happened after coming to the Premier League?

After Yang Yang joined Liverpool, he was injured in the first official game after only ten minutes, which undoubtedly further deepened the impression of the outside world, and 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'd better be careful, he's fast." Glenn Rodell reminded.

"How's it like Robben?" Stephen Carr asked rhetorically.

When he arrived, there was another burst of laughter in the dressing room.

When Robben first landed in the Premier League, he was known as the Dutch Flyer, the flying Dutchman, but what was the result?

He spent almost as much time recovering from injuries as he did on the pitch.

And Yang Yang will be the next Robben!

Glenn Rodell didn't say much more, it was not good to boost the opponent's morale too much before the game and destroy his own prestige.

"Okay, guys, what I need you to do next is to get off to a good start at the beginning."

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

…………

When the two teams, led by referee Mark Halsey, walked into Anfield one after another, all the Liverpool fans in the stadium were boiling and cheering.

Especially when the on-site commentator shouted the name of every Liverpool player, the scene was followed by a warm cheer.

"Our Captain, Steven Gerald!"

"Gerald! Gerrard! ”

"Our goalkeeper, Reina!"

"Reina!"

"And our defender, Daniel Agger...... Steven Finnan...... Fabio Aurelio...... Sami Hyypia ......"

'Our midfielder Xavi Alonso...... ...... Mohammad Sissoko"

"There's also the forward line, Dick Kuyt on the right...... Peter Crouch......"

"Of course, there is also our most important one, the Chinese teenager who has just returned from injury, Yang Yang!!"

When I landed, the whole Anfield stadium was boiling!

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang!! Yang Yang!! ”

All the fans in the stadium were cheering Yang Yang's name, and the momentum was unforgettable!

Su Ye and Winston Bogard sat in the stands at Anfield Stadium, nervously looking at Yang Yang who walked into the stadium and greeted the fans, he looked full of confidence and very calm.

"Okay, still so calm, I believe he's ready!" Winston Bogard praised.

Su Ye nodded vigorously.

She knows that Yang Yang has been carrying heavy pressure and burden in the past ten days, and he has always felt that he is a little ashamed of Liverpool fans, and he has always been a little depressed.

And tonight, he looks full of fighting spirit.

He obviously intends to vent his depression and negative emotions in the past ten days tonight.

He's going to double his repayment to the Liverpool fans!

With his performance! With his goals! With everything from him!
