Liverpool finally defeated Maccabi Haifa 3-1 at home, getting out of the predicament of two consecutive defeats in the warm-up match.
But after the game, the British media paid attention to Yang Yang's injury.
Ten minutes into the game, Yang Yang scored a goal, but he went off injured, which is definitely not a good phenomenon.
In the post-match press conference, head coach Rafael Benitez admitted that Yang Yang was indeed injured.
"At present, the preliminary judgment is that it is a muscle strain, but whether there is a tear or not requires further testing."
Regarding Yang Yang's injury, Benitez said that the team is closely following, but the specific situation is not suitable to be disclosed to the public.
But soon, the Liverpool Echo newspaper issued a comment on the official website, believing that Yang Yang's injury may be related to the training of Benitez's coaching staff, because a month ago, when Yang Yang joined Liverpool, he underwent a very detailed medical examination by the team.
"After that physical examination, Liverpool publicly stated that Yang Yang had achieved very good results in all indicators, which showed that Yang Yang's physical condition was at its best, and he was only 19 years old, but a month later, he had a muscle strain, which was obviously unreasonable."
"Everyone knows that muscle strains or tears, while common, are avoidable and are usually caused by a player's lack of warm-up, poor eating habits, or poor training."
"According to the reporter's tracking in the past period, Yang Yang is basically two points and one line, rarely goes out, and trains extremely hard and self-disciplined, including Gerrard and Hyypia, many Liverpool players have publicly stated that Yang Yang is one of the hardest training players of all."
"Putting aside the players' own factors such as insufficient warm-up and poor eating habits, then the most likely problem is that the training is unreasonable, because as far as we know, Yang Yang has repeatedly raised doubts about the training plan of the fitness coach."
The Liverpool Echo took aim directly at Giusto Lillo.
It is a surprise that the 26-year-old fitness coach, who has only coached Abar for one season in La Liga, is at the helm of Liverpool's gym.
"It is particularly noteworthy that as early as the pre-season, Xavi Alonso, Mohamed Sissoko, Daniel Aager and many other players have had muscle strains one after another, but they have not been taken seriously."
"It wasn't until this time that Yang Yang, who joined the team for 40 million euros, suffered a muscle strain, which made people wake up."
In the end, the Liverpool Echo also said that similar to this kind of unprofessional employment behavior is not uncommon in the Premier League, and even in the entire European football world, not only physical fitness coaches, but even team doctors with more important positions have had many problems.
But the most important thing now is to find the culprit as soon as possible.

Paco Yesterdam was secretly relieved when he hung up the phone call from the hospital, the head of the team's doctor, Mark Waller.
"There is no danger, just a strain, no tear, at most half a month of stopping."
Benitez's originally tense emotions were relaxed in an instant, and his heart was also relieved.
It's so worrying!
Yang Yang's injury even alarmed the club's core management, and Rick Parry personally called to inquire about the incident.
Just kidding, the big-name stars introduced by 40 million euros, the salary of 120,000 pounds a week, Yang Yang can almost be said to be piled up of gold, a little knock, a touch, can make the club feel distressed for a long time.
"Check it out, what's going on this time?" Benitez was also furious.
When he took over, he made a three-year promise to Liverpool fans to bring out a team that was balanced and competitive within three years, and Yang Yang was a key part of his promise.
But such a player is injured, this is absolutely unbearable!
"I took a closer look, there is no problem with Yang Yang's diet, his pre-game warm-up was personally brought by me, Gerrard and others were watching, there was no problem, what really caused him to strain his muscles was the process when he suddenly threw off the defender and cut inside the door with the ball on the left side."
Benitez has been coaching for many years and it was easy to hear from his assistants, "The problem of training? ”
"Yang Yang has always had doubts about Giusto Lillo's training, and several players, including Xavi Alonso, have raised similar questions, and they obviously feel that Giusto Lillo's level of work is not reassuring."
Benitez nodded.
Yang Yang once mentioned that he believes that his physical fitness is no problem adapting to the Premier League, even if he wants to strengthen his physical strength, he should not sacrifice his speed, explosiveness and flexibility, and asked Giusto Lillo to adjust his training plan for him.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
Benitez is also unfamiliar with the fellow Spaniard, a member of his coaching staff that he hired in Spain this summer, mainly because Liverpool couldn't find a suitable fitness coach, which caused a lot of problems last season.
Rafael Benitez hired Justo Lillo this summer after firing his previous fitness coach.
Many people only know that player transfers are risky, but they don't know that hiring coaches is also risky.
This time it was like that with Giusto Lillo.
Benitez shook his head depressedly, "Paco, what do you think?" ”
"Giusto Lillo has lost the trust of his players."
Paco Yesterdam's answer is obvious.
Why doesn't Benitez understand?
"But the problem now is that we have to find a suitable fitness coach to replace Giusto Lillo."

When Yang Yang, accompanied by George Owen, limped into the house, he saw Su Ye, whose eyes were red, which made him full of apologies.
"It's okay, it's just a slight strain, and it will be fine in a few days." Yang Yang touched Su Ye's head and comforted.
Su Ye blinked, didn't say anything, helped Yang Yang to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and squatted in front of him, looking at Yang Yang's right leg carefully, refusing to let go of even an inch of detail easily.
"It's fine." Yang Yang smiled comfortingly.
Su Ye nodded, stood up, and asked George Owen about Yang Yang's situation, and understood what he was going to do next, such as whether he needed any care, what he could eat, what he couldn't eat, etc., and asked in great detail and seriousness.
This made Yang Yang listen to it warmly.
It's really nice to be cared for.
After sending George Owen away, Su Ye came over to talk to Yang Yang, concerned about his current situation.
"You can help me get my phone."
Su Ye immediately walked over and helped him get his mobile phone.
After Yang Yang took the phone, he immediately found Winston Bogard's phone and called.
"Hey, buddy, what's going on? I heard, you're hurt? ”
As soon as the phone rang, Winston Bogard on the other side immediately asked with concern.
Apparently he had already received the message.
"It's a bit unlucky, a muscle strain." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.
"Shouldn't it be, didn't warm up enough?"
"It's not."
"Is it a food that doesn't fit in the UK?"
"Probably not." Yang Yang shook his head, "I have been eating at home every morning, noon and evening recently, and Su Yedu specially accommodated my diet rules and strictly followed the recipes you formulated before, there must be no problem." ”
"What about work and rest?"
Yang Yang looked at Su Ye and pondered, "It's normal, at most at ten o'clock in the evening, get up at six o'clock in the morning, ensure at least eight hours of sleep every day, and have an hour's lunch break at noon." ”
"That shouldn't be." Winston Bogard explained.
He has been cooperating with Yang Yang for two years, he knows each other, he knows Yang Yang's body and temperament, and knows that he never jokes about his body, so this injury is definitely not without reason.
"I suspect it has something to do with training."
"Training?"
"I didn't mention it to you last time, a twenty-six-year-old fitness coach, I am not used to the training plan he arranged for me, I have adjusted it once before, but I still feel a little awkward recently, but I can't say the specifics."
"In this way, let's talk on QQ, and you can pass me the training plan he gave you."
After Yang Yang hung up the phone, he quickly asked Su Ye to get his laptop, and after logging in to QQ, he got in touch with Winston Bogard in Beijing, and immediately passed on his training plan.
The body of a professional player is very sensitive, and the slightest mistake will quickly react, which requires a physical fitness coach to follow up for a long time and adjust the player's physical training at any time.
For example, when he was at Ajax, Winston Bogard followed Yang Yang's training every day.
But Giusto Lillo never did that, and he didn't even ask Yang about his training.
"It's not a big problem for other adult players, but it's not a good fit for you because you're only 19 years old and you're more focused on muscle strength, which obviously affects your speed, explosiveness and flexibility."
Yang Yang nodded, "I do feel that my physical condition is not very ideal recently, but I have never found the crux of the problem. ”
"The fitness coach is still too young, inexperienced and a little irresponsible, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a problem and you should have been a little too aggressive in the game."
Yang Yang smiled bitterly, "I took the ball on the left side and cut inside to get rid of it, the first shot is very important, what do you say?" ”
Speed players are inherently more prone to injury, especially the type like Yang Yang who uses speed bursts and speed changes to get rid of defensive players, which is the hardest hit area of injuries.
The most typical is Chelsea's Dutch winger Arjen Robben.
"It's okay, you only had a slight strain this time, it's not a big problem, but the most important thing is to deal with the hidden dangers, last year's Messi in Barcelona was injured twice in a row, and there was only a month or two between the two times, and this is because the first strain was not handled well, which led to the tear on the second time, which became more serious."
Yang Yang thought for a while, "I'm not at ease with the others, or you hand over the matter of Beijing to Wei Zhen, come over." ”
Winston Bogard thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
