"Liverpool is definitely the best stage for you!"

……

Until the next morning, Yang Yang's mind was still echoing with Benitez's words from yesterday afternoon.

Standing on the west embankment of the Summer Palace, looking at Kunming Lake, my thoughts drifted farther and farther away.

According to Raiola, there is a lot of interest in him in the Premier League semi-finals at the moment, but Arsenal cannot afford a transfer fee of 40 million euros, and Chelsea are working on Shevchenko at full capacity.

Manchester United and Liverpool have been in contact with Raiola most frequently, which can also be seen that the two teams have the strongest interest in Yang Yang, but Liverpool is clearly more sincere, and specially arranged for CEO Rick Parry and manager Benitez to travel to China to meet Yang Yang.

This time we met, we talked a lot, and it was very harmonious, and the attitude and sincerity of Liverpool's side, as well as Benitez's plan for Yang Yang at the technical and tactical level, were very clear, which also made Yang Yang quite tempted.

Yang Yang has spent a long time thinking about it before, and one of the reasons why he stayed at Ajax last summer was that he didn't feel ready for a new challenge.

Or rather, he didn't get the right opportunity.

But now it's different, he feels ready to stay in the Eredivisie, he has a sense of stagnation.

He even felt that if he continued to play in the Eredivisie, he would really feel slack.

This is definitely not what he wants.

So, he wanted to seize this opportunity and be brave enough to make a change.

And for now, Liverpool are undoubtedly closer to him.

……

"What do you think?"

Su Ye hugged Yang Yang hard from behind and asked with a giggle.

Yang Yang turned around and took her into his arms.

On a hot day, both of them are dressed relatively thinly, plus they have been sharing the same bed every night without shame in the past days, after returning to Beijing last night, Su Ye can only go home obediently, and now the two are in close contact, and they can't help but feel a little emotional.

"In broad daylight, it was seen." Su Ye was so ashamed that he buried his whole body in his arms.

said so, but in fact it was hugged tighter.

"It's to make them envious." Yang Yang said with a smile.

But in fact, there was no one else nearby except the two of them.

"What were you thinking?" Su Ye asked with concern.

Yang Yang frowned, "I'm wondering, do you want to go to Liverpool?" ”

Su Yedeng's face also became solemn.

This will undoubtedly be a major decision for Yang Yang, and may even change his career development in the future.

She has heard Yang Yang mention the failed transfer cases of Van der Vaart and Van der Meyde and others more than once, and before the transfer, they all left Ajax with great confidence, Real Madrid and Inter Milan's sincerity is also undoubted, but after the transfer, the situation has taken a sharp turn.

It's not that the club is irresponsible, because the reasons that determine the success or failure of a player are really many and complex.

Van Basten, for example, told Yang Yang that it is very important to integrate into the environment of a new team and adapt to a new life, so that players can devote themselves to the game and training without worries.

It's not easy to live alone.

The climate in the UK is similar to that of the Netherlands, and Yang Yang believes that it should not be too difficult for him to adapt, but other aspects are not clear.

To put it bluntly, the club is not open, no matter how much transfer fee you pay to get in, once it really becomes a stumbling block to the team's results, the club will ruthlessly move you away and put you in the cold.

That's the rule of the Pro League.

No one, no team, will change.

The size of the player's card and the amount of the transfer fee can only get more patience and trust at best.

Through the conversation with Yang Yang and the usual understanding, Su Ye knew that Yang Yang had to take this step, but he had to be cautious and careful, because if he walked well, he would go further and go to the next level.

But if he goes wrong, I'm afraid he will fall from his current position.

This is why Yang Yang thought twice.

Su Ye thought for a while, left Yang Yang's embrace, stood in front of him, looked directly at him, and smiled.

"I believe in you, because Yang Yang, who I like, has always been a man who is not afraid of any challenge, from the first time I saw you, your persistence, persistence and struggle have left an indelible figure in my heart."

Speaking of this, Su Ye gently held Yang Yang's face with both hands.

"You should be brave enough to follow your dreams, just as you support me to pursue my dreams, I will always support you silently behind you, will not leave, and whenever you turn around, you will definitely be able to see me."

Yang Yang's heart was full of emotion, and he nodded heavily.

"Okay, then why don't you, Miss Su, let's go to the UK for our honeymoon?"

…………

…………

Want to have a honeymoon before you get married?

That's not the right thing to do.

But Yang Yang packed up his things with Su Ye and flew directly from Beijing to the UK.

This was the proposal of Rick Parry and Benitez, who invited Yang Yang to Liverpool to visit Anfield Stadium and Melwood training base, which was also to further enhance Yang's familiarity and understanding of Liverpool.

Yang Yang and Su Ye flew directly from Beijing to London, where they played for two days, and then under Raiola's arrangement, they came to Liverpool and sat in the car to Anfield and Goodson Park.

English fans have a special affection for the team, and the home stadium is also a high-traffic area, especially as the new season begins, with many fans and tourists visiting the stadium.

Although Yang Yang has the intention of joining Liverpool, it has not been finalized, so it is not suitable to be exposed in front of the public.

So, he just sat in the car and drove down the road south of the Anfield stadium.

The stadium is about the same size as the Amsterdam Arena, but it doesn't look as spectacular as the Amsterdam Arena, as Ajax's home stadium is crossed by a highway in the middle, so the overall look is more imposing.

But there's one very unique feature of Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, and that's the red brick façade.

From the fence to the exterior of the court, it is all made of red brick, which looks very unique, old and traditional.

The façade of the stadium is adorned with huge posters of Liverpool's biggest stars, most prominently Steven Gerrard, Carragher, Xavi Alonso and Crouch.

The driver who drove was arranged by the Liverpool club to pick up Yang Yang, he has a name that is familiar to the whole world, Owen, but not Michael Owen, but George Owen, and he has nothing to do with the former Liverpool star.

"The club is already working on the arrangement, the huge poster will be removed, and if you join the team, you and Gerrard will be the most visible stars on the left and right on the façade of the stadium for the new season." George Owen introduced.

On both sides of the huge poster, there is a huge Liverpool team emblem, and below the team emblem is the English logo of "The Kop", which is the famous KOP stand, and below the poster is the Liverpool fan shop.

Due to the change of sponsors of the team in the new season, from the original Reebok to Adidas, the jersey has also changed.

When Yang Yang passed by, there were many Liverpool fans in the fan shop who were buying jerseys and fan gear for the new season.

"In the UK, the business of the fan shop has always been fantastic." George Owen proudly introduced.

Then, he turned around and looked at Yang Yang, who was sitting side by side with Su Ye in the back row, with a smile, "If you join, your jersey will definitely be the best selling in the club, I promise." ”

Yang Yang smiled and did not respond.

From Anfield Stadium to the east, out of Liverpool city, on the highway to the southeast, to a suburb town called the West Derby, after exiting the highway, along the narrow two-lane road for a while, to Liverpool's Melwood training base.

Frankly speaking, Yang Yang felt a little disappointed about the training base.

It's not a small area, just on the side of the road, only a thin two-meter-high iron fence is shading.

It wasn't until I got to the entrance that I saw a red brick wall, with a green iron electric sliding door in the middle, a green pedestrian door next to it, and not even a security room.

If it weren't for the Liverpool logo next to the green gate, Yang Yang would have wondered if he had walked to the door of the warehouse?

Red brick is clearly Liverpool's character, not only Anfield Stadium, but also Melwood training ground, as well as the surrounding residential buildings, are red brick walls, which do look very distinctive.

Especially for Yang Yang, who is from the southern Fujian region of China, he feels very close.

The red brick walls of southern Fujian are a major feature.

It's just that the door to Liverpool's training base is indeed too simple.

"The inside of the Melwood training complex has been remodeled, which is very good, and the facilities are on par with other top teams in Europe, but it looks a little shabby on the outside."

George Owen explained with a smile, "If you look at other Premier League teams, you will find that we are already very good, and in the Premier League it is not as good as Arsenal's A.T. Kearny, and compared to Manchester United's Carrington." ”

'As for Chelsea, they're still in the rundown warehouse near Heathrow, listening to the roar of the green train and training with the planes taking off.

Yang Yang smiled, this is also an interesting anecdote.

The Premier League's training base has always been terrible and very backward, even in the traditionally strong Chelsea.

So much so that some people ridiculed Chelsea, thinking that they bought Shevchenko, but let the world's top striker train in a broken warehouse, is it a bit too shabby?

These strong teams are still like this, can you imagine how poor the hardware facilities of other teams in the Premier League are?

Approaching the new season training camp, there are many staff in the Melwood training base, and they are all in full swing to prepare.

To Yang Yang's surprise, not only the head coach Benitez and the coaching staff were there, but even the club's vice-captains Gerrard and Carragher also came to Melwood training base in advance.
