Heading into September, the Europa League came to a halt and a two-week international break began.

While all the international players are busy fighting for the country and the club is suffering from the FIFA virus, Yang Yang insists on training every day and works hard every night in the super training ground to practice and polish his star skills.

In August and September, the Chinese national team ushered in the Asian Cup qualifiers, but they did not draw foreign international players, but mainly domestic players, because the opponent Singapore is not strong, and the foreign players are busy competing for club positions.

This is a proposal initiated by Yang Yang, which was eventually adopted by Alihan and the Football Association, because of the long journey, the state of the game after returning is not easy to say, and it may even affect the performance of the international players in the club, which is more than worth the loss.

In the previous semi-finals and the East Asian Games, mainly domestic players, they performed very well.

Of course, it is really necessary for the national team to issue an emergency call-up, and the international players still have to fight for the country.

There is no need to run back and forth, there is no league, but Yang Yang's requirements for himself are not low.

In the super training ground, Yang Yang asked Lao Bing to simulate a Premier League-level defensive player for him, while he himself practiced hard with the ball, shooting and scoring with headers, especially headers, which is his weakest and most criticized link at present.

Lao Bing simulated the characteristics of Liverpool's two wide players, passing various crosses for him in the training ground, while Yang Yang was responsible for fighting for positions with Premier League-level defenders and scoring with headers.

Every time a cross is sent from the side, Yang Yang must judge its trajectory and landing point in the shortest possible time, and then find a way to shake off the defenders and seize the most advantageous position......

And the more in-depth the training, the easier it is for Yang Yang to realize that [Klinsmann's header] is indeed very suitable for him, because he is very close to Klinsmann's height, size and characteristics, which makes him particularly easy to learn.

However, the defensive advantage of Premier League players is still very obvious, and Yang Yang is also at a loss in this aspect, so his training in other aspects such as dribbling assault and shooting has not fallen, especially several other star skills, which are repeatedly trained and polished every day, and dare not slack off.

Again and again for the headers, again and again for the shoots, again and again for the stops, again and again for the breakaways, again and again for the crosses......

From the freshness at the beginning, to the blandness later, and then to the boredom, even resistance and disgust, Yang Yang still maintained a high degree of self-discipline and completed the action again and again.

Even though these movements had become an instinct in his body, he still didn't dare to relax.

Lao Bing also did not have any emotion, arranging training at a glance to help Yang Yang improve.

It's just that after every training session, he will analyze with Yang Yang the gains of the day's training and the mistakes that occurred.

"There's a fire burning in your heart, and it's getting louder and louder." Lao Bing said lightly.

Yang Yang nodded, he had missed two awards in a row in the past period.

In addition to UEFA's Champions League Striker of the Year, he also missed out on the Premier League's Player of the Year award for August.

In the latter race, he lost to Manchester United's Ryan Giggs, who started the season on three wins in a row and scored ten goals in three games.

Yang Yang is not unable to lose, nor is he jealous, on the contrary, he is full of admiration and admiration for predecessors like Giggs.

But he still feels uncomfortable, this should be human nature, right?

He knows very well that he did not perform well enough, and if he had not been injured and he had been able to play in the first round, Liverpool might not have been held to a draw by Sheffield United, and if he could have performed and even scored, then he would have the quality to compete with Ryan Giggs, and it is difficult to say who the best of the month will be.

Yang Yang has always had high requirements for himself, a strong desire to win, and he has never hidden his competitiveness, especially with his rise in Ajax, he has put forward more and higher requirements for himself.

Now, as Liverpool's leading star, he naturally has to compare himself with the Premier League and even Europe's first-line stars.

This is the pressure he puts on himself, but at the same time it is also the motivation for him to keep going.

"Every successful professional player, in addition to having a strong and almost blind self-confidence, must also have a strong enough enterprising and competitive spirit, you have such a fire in your heart, that's a good thing, don't suppress it, let it release and burn to the fullest, but don't be burned by it." Lao Bing said lightly.

People who don't have self-confidence are easily knocked down by setbacks and even doubt themselves, which is a big taboo for professional players!

Without aggressiveness and competitiveness, players are prone to becoming content with the status quo, which is also a big taboo!

Of course, it's not a good thing to go too far.

"Don't worry, aren't you still beating me on the side? If I go too far, you'll give me a wake-up call. Yang Yang said with a smile.

As he spoke, Yang Yang lay down on the turf and waved his hand at Lao Bing.

Soon, the sky was a big screen, constantly showing footage, highlights and analysis of Premier League matches.

Benitez is an extremely strict manager, and he does things with a clear eye and never makes any sloppy eyes, and he said before that he would do his best to help Yang Yang integrate into the Premier League as soon as possible, which is by no means a joke.

Not to mention anything else, in order to help Yang Yang, he specially sorted out a lot of materials, including more than 20 DVDs alone, as well as text introductions and illustrations, which are not only numerous, but also very perfect.

If it were someone else, he might feel that Benitez was too demanding of him, and even a little unkind, after all, it takes a process for all players to integrate into the team, which can be as short as six months and three months, or as long as a year, which is normal.

Especially considering that Yang Yang is only nineteen years old.

But for Yang Yang, instead of being demanding, he did what he liked.

He didn't come to the Premier League for a holiday, he came to the Premier League for only one purpose, and that was to conquer!

When Su Ye was there, Winston Bogard didn't want to disturb Yang Yang's world, so he stayed in a hotel outside.

But since Su Ye returned to China, he began to move into Yang Yang's house.

Every morning, he would accompany Yang Yang to nearby Saifton Park for a run and morning exercise.

And Yang Yang still did not change his true colors, turning the ball on his side, running and sprinting quickly all the way.

This made Winston Bogard have to do his best to barely keep up with him.

"I said, are you being too yourself? Can't you relax some? ”

At the finish line, Winston Bogard caught up with Yang Yang out of breath, shaking his head and smiling bitterly with some complaint.

This guy is getting more and more disagreeable, and if he continues to practice like this, he will probably be able to become a professional athlete.

"As soon as you relax, it's easy to lose your grip anymore." Yang Yang was also panting, but replied lightly.

"I'm almost 33 years old, I've played for Manchester United for 15 years, I've made more than 600 appearances, to put it mildly, I've stepped into the retirement line with one foot, and I won the Player of the Month for the first time, so you are jealous?"

Ryan Giggs turns 33 in November, and after so many years at Manchester United, this is the first time he has won the Player of the Month award.

On the contrary, it is the veteran coach Alex Ferguson who won the Coach of the Month award, which is already the seventeenth monthly coach of his career.

"Let's be clear, it's not jealousy, it's competition!" Yang Yang reminded.

"Isn't it different?"

"That's pretty much!" Yang Yang waved his hand, "I'm not jealous of Giggs at all, on the contrary, I admire him, but that doesn't mean that I willingly accept the fact that I'm inferior to him, so I have to continue to work hard." ”

After speaking, Yang Yang took the lead in walking out of Sefton Park.

Winston Bogard shrugged his shoulders and muttered helplessly, "You're a monster!" ”

"See that guy?"

Three hours later, outside Melwood's gym, Winston Bogard pointed to Yang Yang on the sidelines of the training pitch and spoke to Brazilian left wing-back Fabio Aurelio next to him.

Yang Yang had just come out of the gym and was training his header in the corner of the training ground.

Since there was only one person, he could only do some simple head-boggling exercises.

"Well, he's trained really hard." Aurelio said with admiration.

"I've already read your detailed medical report, and I'll tailor a set of physical strengthening training for you, and for the rest of the year, you'll be trained with him."

"Winston, can you really help me stay out of injury?" Aurelio asked eagerly.

"I can't say exactly how effective it will be, but the targeted strengthening of physical fitness can really help players avoid injuries as much as possible, you just look at him, as long as you can be as self-disciplined and serious as him, except for the occasional small injury with unpredictable factors, he basically hasn't been injured."

Even though the injury has been retired for two weeks, Yang Yang is still very healthy.

It also fills Aurelio with hunger, as he has been struggling with injuries.

From the time he joined Valencia, everyone thought he had the potential to become a first-class left wing-back in Europe, and he was in astonishing form at one point, scoring eight goals in 27 league games and two in eight Champions League appearances in 2003.

But just when the whole of Europe thought he would be the best left wing-back in Brazil after Robert Carlos, he suddenly suffered a serious blow, and consecutive injuries made him play only four games in the whole season.

However, after his return, he quickly became an important part of Valencia's left wing-back, and he performed well, but an injury in the second half of last season caused him to lose the trust of the club.

Rafael Benitez's Liverpool needed a defensive left wing-back to replace the brave but defensive Riese, so he opted for his old courtier Aurelio and acquired the 26-year-old Brazilian left wing-back on a free transfer.

Aurelio is also holding back his strength, wanting to perform in Liverpool, repay Benitez's trust, and prove himself at the same time, and after Winston Bogard came to Liverpool, he heard the news from Brazilian teammates such as Maxwell and McConn, and got the consent of Benitez and other coaching staff, so he found Winston Bogard and asked for help.

"Don't worry, no matter how hard it is, I can bear it." Aurelio said through gritted teeth.

After September 24, he will be twenty-seven years old, and if he doesn't work harder, his career will stop there.

"Okay, then you can go and practice with him first." Winston Bogard pointed to Yang Yang on the court and said.

The left wing-back accompanies the left winger to practice, no problem!
