455 This is the Premier League!
Yang Yang is injured!
The news quickly caused a huge response around the world, especially in the UK.
As soon as they heard that Yang Yang was injured, the major media reported it frantically as if it was Christmas.
First of all, the Independent newspaper focused on the news of Yang Yang's injury and retirement, and hinted to readers openly and secretly that Yang Yang is likely to repeat the mistakes made before Robben, that is, there are many injuries.
In this report by The Independent, the first thing mentioned is the difference in the difficulty of the game between the Eredivisie and the Premier League, indicating that Yang Yang is comfortable in the Eredivisie, but he is not comfortable in the faster-paced and more competitive Premier League.
'There's no doubt he's trying to fit into Liverpool, but just the warm-up games are too much for him.'
The Independent said Yang Yang went off injured in the first game, casting a shadow over his Premier League prospects.
'I'm sure everyone who has watched Chelsea games will not doubt Arjan Robben's quality and talent, but they will also not forget that Robben has recovered from injuries in almost as many games as he has played in the past two seasons, which is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea.
"A very important reason why Mourinho has always wanted to get Yang Yang is that Robben is frequently injured."
'Both Jose Mourinho and Chelsea are losing patience with Robben.
"Robben's experience is undoubtedly worthy of Yang Yang's vigilance, because Liverpool has higher hopes for him, he spent the highest transfer fee in Liverpool's history, 40 million euros to join the player, and Robben only spent 18 million euros on Chelsea that year, there is a huge gap between the two."
At the end, The Independent quoted so-called insiders as saying that winger killers of Yang Yang's type are often prone to injury, especially in the fierce competitive environment of the Premier League.
……
Coincidentally, the Daily Mail also published a comment, saying that Yang Yang had just joined, and in the first official game of the new season, he only played ten minutes before he was injured, which is definitely not a good phenomenon.
But the Daily Mail did not raffle with other players, instead questioning Yang Yang's ability to adapt to the Premier League.
'There's no doubt that in the Eredivisie he's a true master of goals.
'He's scored a lot of goals, he's broken the records of legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Van Basten, he's done it in a different way, he's done it with his left and right foot, he's almost perfect except for his header.
"He's like a goal machine, constantly destroying the opponent's will to resist, whether it's a close-range grab or a long-range shot from the edge of the box, from a simple push shot to a very difficult world wave, he is simply omnipotent."
"Yang Yang's style of play on the pitch is very chic and elegant, his feet are flexible and delicate, his thinking is quick, his movement is extremely smart, the timing and position of his goals are excellent, his speed and explosiveness are very fast, Van Basten judged early on that he has the potential to become a top scorer, and it turns out that he is."
"But, that's just in the Eredivisie!"
"Over the years, countless cases have told us that there is a barrier between the Eredivisie and the Premier League, and countless Eredivisie talents have been left unnoticed after landing in the Premier League, the most recent being Chelsea's Kezman, who is a talent in the Eredivisie but a mediocre talent in the Premier League."
"Although it is a bit early to say this, Yang Yang is very likely to become the next Kaizhiman!"
……
The Manchester Evening News reported on Liverpool's first official game of the new season in a gloating tone.
According to the commentary, Ferguson finally went all out to keep Cristiano Ronaldo and gave up Yang Yang as it was a very wise choice because the Portuguese had already adapted to the Premier League, but Yang Yang was far from it.
'Maybe he can do it in the Eredivisie, but don't forget, it's the Premier League!'
……
The Sun reposted an analysis article from the Liverpool Echo, and commented that Liverpool's first game of the new season was indeed disappointing, although it defeated Maccabi Haifa 3-1, but Yang Yang's injury cast a shadow on this victory, especially the previous two consecutive defeats in the warm-up game.
"There is no doubt that Yang Yang played an extremely important role in Benitez's tactical puzzle, and even did not lose to captain Gerrard, and judging from the previous warm-up games, Yang Yang performed well, but did not show his peak form during the Ajax period, which is a little disappointing."
"And now, Yang Yang's injury has put Liverpool's attack to the test again."
……
The Telegraph's top journalist, Henry Winter, retweeted comments from Dalglish and Alan Hansen in his column, with both Liverpool legends confident in Yang's future.
Kenny Dalglish said in a phone interview with Winter, "Yang Yang is the most important summer signing in Liverpool's history, and the best summer signing in Liverpool's history, he is only 19 years old, but from his past performances, it reminds me of Ian Rush. ”
Henry Winter explained that Ian Rush is Liverpool's all-time top scorer.
'In the Premier League, it's normal to get injured, no matter how strong and good a player is, it's not scary at all, it's all about your mentality, you have to be brave enough to take on the challenge of the Premier League and you shouldn't be afraid.
"This is a league of the brave, as long as you can establish yourself here and show your best strength, then you will become stronger!"
Alan Hansen very much agrees with Dalglish's remarks, and said that he has received a lot of information from Liverpool, thinking that Yang Yang's injury came a little suddenly and unexpectedly, "The specific details are not clear to outsiders, but I want to say that everyone is full of confidence in him, including Benitez." ”
"A strong dressing room is a tradition for Liverpool, and now, everyone in the dressing room is helping Yang Yang overcome adversity and return to the field as soon as possible, and I believe he will come up with a satisfactory answer soon."
……
The Times conducted an exclusive interview with Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez.
The Spanish coach publicly said that Yang Yang's injury was indeed a bit surprising, but it would not affect the team's trust in him.
'We're all rooting for him and waiting for him to come back and he'll play a big role in the new season.'
…………
…………
The outside world has been disturbed and hyped up.
Yang Yang also received some rumors, but still came to Melwood the next day, accompanied by George Irving.
Along the way, George Owen kept reassuring Yang and telling him that everyone at the club still had confidence in him, but also brought him shocking news.
Fitness coach Giusto Lillo, who has been in office for less than two months, has been fired.
'It was a decision made by the coaching staff yesterday and the players have reacted positively to it.
After hearing this, Yang Yang nodded silently.
Professional leagues are brutal, not only for players, but also for coaches and employees.
Giusto Lillo is still very young, but he is indeed inexperienced, judging from the situation that Yang Yang has felt after contacting him, he is indeed not suitable for being alone, and it is a matter of time before he is fired.
After arriving at Melwood, many players, including captain Steven Gerrard, came forward to comfort Yang Yang and let him recover from his injury.
"We're all waiting for you to come back!"
Gerrard and his teammates had some comforting words, which made Yang Yang feel very warm.
And then, Yang Yang asked George Owen to take him to the team doctor's office first, and then to the head coach's office.
Benitez and Paco Jesterdam are both there.
When the two of them saw Yang Yang coming, they both asked about his injuries with great concern, and they had already got the report on the specific situation, and they were more concerned about Yang Yang's emotions, comforting him, so that he didn't need to worry and came back from his injuries as soon as possible.
"Although we will not disclose it to the public, Giusto Lillo will be responsible for this, and we will be looking for a more suitable fitness coach as soon as possible, and during this period, Paco will be directly responsible for your rehabilitation."
Yang Yang had a good impression of Paco Yesterdam, and the Spaniard's professional ability was not at all a problem, but Yang Yang still mentioned Winston Bogard.
"He knows my body very well and has been my personal trainer for the past two years, so I want to involve him in my rehabilitation program and I promise him to fully cooperate with the coaching staff." Yang Yang sincerely proposed, and said that all the expenses incurred by the personal trainer were his own responsibility.
It's not uncommon for players to have a personal trainer, and it's even common for many players to trust a personal trainer more than the coaching staff.
Benitez discussed with Yesterdam, and now that Liverpool's fitness coach is vacant, Yang Yang's personal coach is in charge of his rehabilitation, which is not inadmissible.
"Yes, I agree to your request." Benitez agreed.
Yang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, with Winston Bogard here, he was even more relieved.
Paco Jesterdam obviously also noticed Yang Yang's expression, and smiled and introduced the situation to him outside.
"The British media is different from other countries, they are very fond of star-making, because every star is their natural hype, and their reports are clearly biased, for example, the Telegraph and The Times are biased towards Liverpool, the Daily Mail is biased towards Chelsea, and the Independent is biased towards Arsenal."
Speaking of this, Yesterdam smiled and said, "Understand this, then you should know which newspapers can be ignored directly in the future." ”
Yang Yang suddenly realized, no wonder the Independent did not forget to take Robben out and step on it while hyping his own injury, it turned out that they supported Chelsea's sworn enemy Arsenal.
As for the Manchester Evening News, it certainly goes without saying that they support Manchester United.
And different newspapers obviously cater to different fan audiences.
Although the media is suspected of deliberate hype, the club still attaches great importance to public opinion, so it specially arranged for Yang Yang to be interviewed by the official TV station.
And Yang Yang also confidently shouted his first goal of the new season in the interview.
