"How many goals did the Premier League's top scorer score last season?"

"Thierry Henry of Arsenal, twenty-five goals!

"Well, that's my goal for the new season!"

……

When Yang Yang confidently appeared in front of the camera of Liverpool's official TV station, shouting his first goal of the new season, and quickly spread it to the United Kingdom, Europe, and even the world, it also spread to Manchester, 50 kilometers away.

In the gym at Manchester United's Carrington training base in the western suburbs of Manchester, Cristiano Ronaldo was doing strenuous strength training as his mind was reminded of what he had seen in the morning from an interview with Yang Yang on television.

His confident appearance made the Portuguese feel indignant.

This guy has to come out to show off even if he gets hurt!

Mike Clegg, Manchester United's fitness coach, originally ran a private gym, but then his two sons joined the Manchester United Academy, so he was hired to Manchester United as a fitness coach, in charge of the gym.

And in the last year or so, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a regular in his gym and has practiced the hardest.

After seeing that the Portuguese had completed his training assignment as usual, he stood up.

"Alright, take a break, it's time to go back to training." Mike Clegg said.

But the Portuguese were not satisfied at all, "Let's have another group." ”

Mike Clegg stopped turning to leave, walked back, and grabbed the Portuguese's hand, "I said, it's not a joke, in moderation, unless you want to be like him." ”

Needless to say, he knows this, referring to Yang Yang.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't, and listened to the arrangement of the fitness coach.

Standing in the gym, moving his limbs and muscles, Cristiano Ronaldo can feel his strength.

"Mike, I've heard, that kid is a masochist, you say, could he be overtrained?" The Portuguese asked.

Mike Clegg shook his head, "I don't know, but it's a possibility, so you have to pay attention." ”

The Portuguese is also a well-known training maniac in United's squad, especially since he started running the gym almost every day since more than a year ago, and after a weekday conversation, Mike Clegg can vaguely guess.

Yang Yang is Cristiano Ronaldo's number one imaginary enemy.

"He'd better take it easy and don't get hurt all day!" Cristiano Ronaldo said with a fist.

"Why?"

"The reason why I decided to stay at Manchester United was to get rid of him!"

When he said this, a flash of frenzy flashed in Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes.

In the group stage of the World Cup, he did not perform as well as Yang Yang, and Portugal failed to beat Yang Yang's Chinese team, which disappointed him, but in the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to win against Liverpool.

Especially Liverpool, which has Yang Yang!

If Yang Yang is frequently injured, it will be so boring!

Winston Bogard soon arrived in Liverpool.

The outside media immediately captured the news and knew that Yang Yang had hired his personal trainer to help him recover as soon as possible.

Naturally, this has sparked another wave of media hype.

But the new season's vehicles are like removing the brake system and can only rush forward.

After the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, Liverpool welcomed the Community Shield.

The opponent is the league champion Chelsea.

As Wembley Stadium was not yet completed, the match was scheduled to be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in the south.

Yang Yang was absent due to injury and did not go south with the team, but sat at home and watched the game with Su Ye.

In the ninth minute of the first half, Reese opened the scoring for Liverpool.

However, just before the end, Shevchenko seized the opportunity and received an assist from Frank Lampard to successfully counter offside and equalise.

Liverpool then created a number of chances, but were always close to scoring.

Eventually, Chelsea played another counter-attack, with Robben taking advantage of his speed to counter offside and score a goal from a long run.

Chelsea came back from Liverpool 2-1 thanks to goals from Shevchenko and Arjen Robben.

Missing the Community Shield, although Liverpool had the advantage, they never scored, which also made many Liverpool fans begin to miss Yang Yang, because Yang Yang came to the team to carry high hopes for goals.

Speaking to the media after the game, Benitez said the squad is very strong enough to handle any challenge.

"Yang Yang's absence has really had an impact on our attack, but I don't think it's a problem because we have other players like Crouch and Kuyt, who are very attacking players.

Benitez said: 'We played well in both halves and we dominated the pitch, but unfortunately we made some mistakes in defence and we missed out on the Community Shield. ”

However, the Spanish coach also said that he did not value the Community Shield and paid more attention to the weekend league, so Gerrard and Xavi Alonso did not play.

The British media generally did not believe the Liverpool manager's justification.

Liverpool didn't do their best, so why did Chelsea do their best?

And at the weekend, the first round of the Premier League was ushered in.

As the opener, Liverpool take on Sheffield United.

This game was originally highly anticipated by Chinese fans, because Chinese player Li Tie, who previously played for Everton, switched to Sheffield United this season, and everyone expected him to perform a Chinese derby with Yang Yang in the Premier League again.

But it's a pity that Li Tie couldn't play, and Yang Yang was also out due to injury.

In this game, Liverpool, who were playing away, had the advantage, but failed to threaten in attack, but only 52 seconds into the second half, Sheffield United took advantage of a free-kick opportunity and scored with a header from striker Hals.

It wasn't until the 70th minute of the game that Liverpool equalized with a controversial penalty from which Robbie Fowler scored.

In the end, Liverpool drew 1-1 away at Sheffield United.

Yang Yang sat at home again to watch the game.

He had a very strong feeling about this game.

On the one hand, he thinks that the Premier League away from home is really very difficult to play.

Sheffield United, who have been promoted to the Premier League this season, have shown great tenacity at their home turf, while Liverpool have played very hard away from home, dominating only to encounter stubborn sniping from their opponents.

Before coming to the Premier League, Yang Yang had heard that the Premier League away from home was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

How hard is it?

In the first round of 10 games, the results of the away teams are two draws and eight defeats.

With the exception of Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United and Aston Villa's 1-1 draw away from Arsenal, all the other teams playing away from home have all lost, including some heavy defeats.

Fulham suffered a 5-1 defeat at Manchester United, Manchester City lost 3-0 to Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers lost 3-0 to Portsmouth and Charlton Athletic lost 3-1 to West Ham United.

Despite the away factor, Yang Yang still felt guilty because he could only sit at home and watch the game when the team suffered a draw away, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Benitez told him that the injury was a problem with the coaching staff and that he didn't have to feel guilty, but Liverpool did treat him well, and he was very uneasy to watch Gerrard and other team-mates fight on the pitch while he could only stand by and watch.

What's more, the team's recent situation is really not good, the old problem of lack of attack is vividly exposed, and he believes that everyone is waiting for his return.

Yang Yang was anxious, but he had to hold back his emotions and strictly implement the training plan formulated by Paco Yesterdam and Winston Bogard, because they didn't want Yang Yang to be injured again and again like Messi last season.

But Yang Yang had a very strong feeling, that is, there was a raging fire burning in his heart, and the more he pressed it, the more it burned, waiting for when it would erupt.

He wanted to show the journalists who questioned him his strength; He is eager for the fans who have been waiting for his comeback to taste the joy of victory; He wants to help his teammates who are struggling to support themselves and win together.

But all of this must be done on the basis of ensuring that you are fully recovered.

Yang Yang held back his strength and worked very hard in rehabilitation training, which was also seen by everyone in the club.

They all knew what Yang Yang was thinking, including Gerrard and Carragher, many players reassured him and told him not to be in a hurry, but how could Yang Yang not be in a hurry?

After the first round of the league, the traditional powerhouses all won, only Liverpool drawn, and the ranking fell to outside the top ten.

Although it's only the first round, the outside media won't pay attention to you.

Therefore, Yang Yang seized the time to recover, just to recover and come back as soon as possible.

…………

After playing the first round of the league, Liverpool travelled to Kyiv, Ukraine, to take on Maccabi Haifa away.

Due to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, UEFA arranged the second leg of the match to a neutral third party at the request of Liverpool.

As a result, Liverpool drew 1-1 away at Maccabi Haifa.

Crouch opened the scoring with a header in the second half, but was equalised just nine minutes later.

And everyone is starting to feel Liverpool's problems clearly.

From pre-season games to Community Shield to league games, Crouch has played an important role up front.

With Yang Yang absent, although the England centre-forward still has a great tactical role, Liverpool's attack has been slow to score.

In the away game against Maccabi Haifa, Liverpool did not give the opponent a chance to shoot on goal in the first half.

It's zero shots!

The only shot was blown off for offside.

But in the second half, Maccabi Haifa scored a goal, and a very important reason was that Liverpool's frontcourt attack could not open the situation.

Therefore, after playing Maccabi Haifa, although Liverpool advanced to the Champions League group stage with an aggregate score of 4-2, both the media close to Liverpool and Liverpool's fans kept calling for Yang Yang's comeback.

Everyone believes that as long as Yang Yang returns, Liverpool's attack will be saved!
