After the Arsenal game, the media around the world was full of noise and joy.

It was the British media that ignited the war first, and the originators of the paparazzi have clearly endured it long enough.

Since last season, Messi's game against Getafe has been staged by five people in a row, and the Catalan media has been hyping up this matter, and I don't know if it is because Yang Yang led Liverpool to beat Barcelona over two legs, causing them to always target Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally.

This time, when Yang Yang and Kaka were competing for the highest honor, the Catalan media could have stood by and remained neutral, but they deliberately 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 continues to fight 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, and many media, including The Sun, even opened fire, saying that Yang Yang could also come to five people in a row.

But soon, the Catalan media fired back, arguing that it was not a five-person tie at all.

They don't deny that the goal was beautiful and quite rare, but it wasn't a five-man in a row.

"At the very least, even in the Premier League statistics, it's not even five people in a row."

The Catalan media almost fought back on this, and nothing else.

The British media is doing everything possible to prove that this is a series of five people at a time.

As a result, the two sides went from the original firing in the air to hand-to-hand combat, and there was a lot of trouble.

……

Liverpool didn't pay much attention to the distractions from the outside world, because the problems within the team were already too much for them to take care of.

The league is very long, and it can change suddenly at any time, not only for the manager, but also for the players.

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

At the end of October, FIFA announced the top 10 candidates for the World Footballer of the Year.

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

This is also known as the top ten stars in world football 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 there is a step, the first time is the top ten, followed by the top five, and this time he is the favorite to win the championship.

After winning the UEFA Player of the Season, coupled with the momentum of the major media in the UK and Europe, Yang Yang has caught up with Kaka in the odds of major bookmakers, and the two are neck and neck.

But until the last minute, no one knows what the outcome will be.

Liverpool is also very supportive, from the club's general manager Rick Parry, to the manager Benitez to the players, everyone fully supports Yang Yang, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Carragher and other international players from various countries have also supported Yang Yang, thinking that he deserves this award.

After playing Arsenal, Yang Yang will not participate in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and Benitez gave him a two-day holiday to rest and go out for a walk.

Before the Carabao Cup, several of Liverpool's biggest stars were invited to the Liverpool City Centre for a dinner there.

…………

…………

The specifications of this dinner are not low.

There are two organizers, namely The Times, the most authoritative media in the United Kingdom, and Canal+, the most influential TV station in Europe, among which French television is still very influential in the selection of European footballers.

In addition to The Times' editor-in-chief Evans, the dinner was also made possible by former Liverpool legend and Champions League winner Michael Robinson, who is currently working for Canal+ and is here for this show.

Liverpool also valued the influence of Canal+, so it was also very cooperative, in addition to Yang Yang, Gerrard, Carragher, Crouch, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Reina and other first-line stars basically attended.

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

The gathering of new and old players, along with The Times and Canal+, made the gathering even more grand.

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

Therefore, after coming to the scene, Yang Yang was very polite to anyone, especially in the face of former celebrities such as Dalglish and Souness, he was even more grateful, because he had always noticed the support and solidarity of these celebrities for him.

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

Here, he really felt a kind of family-like warmth.

And he can't help but think of what Gerrard once said when he first joined, 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 was to thank him.

King Kenny Dalglish presented Yang Yang with two gifts on behalf of the club's celebrities, a DVD containing all of Liverpool's recorded matches over the past 120 years, and a book detailing Liverpool's history, from its inception to winning the championship this summer.

"This is the latest edition, and the last one in it is recorded by you." Dalglish said emotionally.

This made Yang Yang feel a little excited in his heart, and he had a feeling of creating history.

As for why he gave Yang these two gifts, Dalglish told Yang Yang, "I want you to learn to enjoy playing and playing at the club, and these two gifts will allow you to learn about the history of this club and the things that make the club great." ”

And Yang Yang smiled and explained the front page headline of the Times not long ago, saying that he was the king of Anfield, Yang Yang said that he was not enough weight, "In Liverpool, only you are the king, and you will always be, and I can't compare with you at all." ”

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

……

At the beginning of the dinner, Souness was in charge of the speech.

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

Before he met Souness, Yang Yang's impression of him was that of a Premier League coach, and he felt that his coaching style was quite tough, originally he thought that Souness would also be a very rough person, but he didn't expect that in private he was a Scotsman in a suit and leather shoes, looking elegant and full of charm.

So, sometimes players on the pitch and off the pitch, that's really two very different types of people, and the manager is the same.

For example, Liverpool's Reiser is very brave on the pitch and desperately possessed by Saburo, but off the pitch, he is a character who is not a little wooden and doesn't even talk much.

God knows why he ended up like that on the pitch?

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

Steven Gerrard and other players were also listening, taking over from time to time.

Souness believes Yang is Liverpool's most successful signing ever, even though he has only been here for over a year, while Sammy Lee believes Yang is a lot like Ian Rush, who is Liverpool's all-time top scorer.

The impression given to Yang Yang by these celebrities is that there is no shelf at all, and there is no legendary appearance at all, and it feels more like the old men basking in the sun at the corner of the Beijing city wall, especially when they discuss the situation of the team, each of them is full of passion and speaks very hard.

For example, Souness believes that Benitez's rotation system has been done too thoroughly, and the rotation should be appropriately reduced to maintain the overall stability of the team, so as to make the team's performance more coherent, and the leading stars such as Yang Yang and Gerrard do not need to work so hard.

"I don't think you're going to be more demanding now than we were then, why?"

Souness asked himself, his tone was calm enough to give the impression that he was simply having a discussion, and he didn't mean to criticize Benitez or the team, just to give his opinion.

Because he's also a great manager in the Premier League.

"Of course, I don't deny that the intensity of the competition is more now, there will be more events, but you must know that you are better prepared, trained and physically better now than we were then, whether it is a more balanced diet, more nutrition, and you are 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 and when you lose, you feel tired.

Dalglish agrees: "If you insist on telling a player that he's tired, he'll believe you, but if you tell him he can keep playing, then he'll be able to keep going. ”

"For a professional footballer, you can always beat yourself."

Yang Yang was deeply impressed by Dalglish's words, although he didn't understand them very well.

……

At the end of the dinner, it evolved into mutual thanks.

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

His humble attitude was also unanimously affirmed by the celebrities, but these seniors did not support him, but in turn thanked Yang Yang and others for listening to the nagging of these old men.

The two-and-a-half-hour dinner was in a very congenial atmosphere, just like the dressing rooms in Liverpool.
