656 Suspense a year later
Liverpool's training camp opened, and Yang Yang returned to the team on time to report!
This quickly garnered a lot of attention from the media and fans in British and European football.
Everyone knows that this means that Yang Yang officially stays in the team, and Barcelona's poaching plan has failed.
On the day of the training camp, more than 1,000 fans came to Melwood to greet Yang Yang and watch the team's training, and Yang Yang was also in a good mood, not only accepting interviews with media reporters, but also doing his best to meet the fans' wishes for group photos and autographs.
According to Liverpool's plan, the team will train for 10 days in Melwood, followed by a two-week training camp in Switzerland, before moving to Germany and Spain before returning to England.
The training camp is from early July to early August, and the first game of the new season, the Community Shield, officially starts on August 10.
Traditionally, the Community Shield is against FA Cup winners Portsmouth.
However, after entering August, Yang Yang will start to return to China and participate in the Olympic men's football competition, to what extent he can play, it is not clear how far he can play, even if the Chinese team stops in the group stage, it will not be able to return to the team until the second half of the year at the earliest.
……
The biggest difference from previous training camps is that Liverpool brought Winston Bogard back to the team this summer, and he and De Michelle were in charge of the strength training of all the players in the team, especially several injuries last season.
After Winston Bogard cultivated Yang Yang, he became famous, not only in China, but also in Ajax and Liverpool, and Benitez had invited him to Liverpool many times to train players.
One of the highlights of the media is Aurelio.
The Brazilian left wing-back was originally injured frequently, and he was seriously injured when he was in Valencia, but under the training of Winston Bogard, Aurelio's attendance last season actually caught up with his peak in Valencia, especially in the second half, the attendance rate was very high, and the performance was also quite good.
In this case, Benitez and the coaching staff also tasted the sweetness, and immediately brought in Winston Bogard again, and not for a short time, but for him to follow the team for summer training in the next month.
Winston Bogard's quality is undoubted, and the players know it, but training with him is also very hard, especially in some gym equipment, which is simply a nightmare for professional players.
But under the strict supervision of Benitez and the guidance of Yesterdam, the players have also been trained by Winston Bogard, not only with serious injuries like Daniel Ager, but also with Xavi Alonso, who did not perform particularly well last season.

…………
While Liverpool is in full swing for their summer training camp, the club's transfer operations are still in full swing.
The Reds' focus this summer will undoubtedly be to strengthen the team's midfield and bench depth, with Rafael Benitez focusing on Gareth Barry, but Aston Villa repeatedly rejected Liverpool's offer in June.
This has upset Gareth Barry, as he clearly prefers a move to Liverpool, who can play in the Champions League, and the Reds have shown a very strong momentum this season after Yang Yang stayed.
In this case, Bari's relationship with Aston Villa is very strained, and there are even media reports that Barry has been punished by the club for publicly criticizing manager Martin O'Neal.
As the clock ticked into mid-July, Aston Villa finally relented and agreed to Liverpool's offer.
Fifteen million pounds, plus a Finnan, this is the final offer Liverpool made for Gareth Barry.
Heading into mid-July, the Aston Villa captain finally joined Liverpool.
After the official announcement of the two clubs, Gareth Barry immediately moved from Birmingham to Liverpool, underwent a medical examination by Liverpool, and went directly to the team's pre-season training camp.
Steven Gerrard, Yang Yang and others have welcomed Gareth Barry's arrival, while Xavi Alonso has clearly felt the pressure of the competition and has trained more diligently, even the gym equipment that used to be more exclusive is now training with great energy.
Another person who is feeling the pressure is Lucas Rewa.
The arrival of Gareth Barry has put a lot of competition on the Brazilian midfield, and he will have to improve himself to ensure that he can become an important part of the team's midfield.
As for Mascherano and Gerrard, due to the characteristics of the two, they are basically the main players who are steady and steady.
On the third day of Gareth Barry's arrival in Liverpool, the team departed for Switzerland.
They were accompanied by Welsh youngster Gareth Bale, who had just moved to Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur.
The Tottenham Hotspur star was successfully acquired by Liverpool for a fee not disclosed, but speculation is that Liverpool offered a whopping £7 million because Tottenham spent £5 million when they acquired him a year ago.
The media close to Liverpool quickly broke the news that Gareth Bale would become Yang Yang's replacement, and the Welsh was also a player named by Yang Yang himself, which made Gareth Bale very respectful of Yang Yang after coming to the team and thanked him for his trust and support.
The Welshman is only nineteen years old now, although Yang Yang is only twenty-one, but the status and influence of the two in European football and the Premier League are completely different.
At least in the Liverpool dressing room in the future, Yang Yang is his umbrella.
After sending off Finnan, Liverpool brought in Glenn Johnson from Portsmouth, the English right-back who excelled for the Pompei and was loved by Redknapp, but was still brought in by Liverpool for a whopping £10 million.
The addition of Gareth Barry, Gareth Bale and Glenn Johnson has increased the number of Liverpool players, meeting UEFA's Champions League registration requirements, and strengthening the overall strength of the team.
To this end, the Reds have invested £32 million in transfer fees, even more than rivals such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League, making them a veritable big spenders in the Premier League.
But at the same time, Liverpool also sold Carson, and then after the arrival of Gareth Bale and Gareth Barry, both players can be qualified for the left wing-back position, so the team sent away Reese, who has not renewed his contract for a long time, and the two transfers recouped 7.5 million pounds, which can be regarded as easing the team's finances.
……
Liverpool's investment has boosted the overall quality of the team, and although there are no big stars, the players are good, Gareth Barry and Glen Johnson have both proven themselves in the Premier League, and Gareth Bale has also performed well.
The outside world also gave high praise to Liverpool's recruitment results this summer, but everyone believes that Liverpool's biggest achievement is to retain Yang Yang, which is a great guarantee for Liverpool's overall strength.
However, the Sun believes that although Yang Yang announced that he would stay in the team, he did not renew his contract with Liverpool, so they speculated that Yang Yang's stay in the team was only temporary, as for why he stayed in the team, no one knows, and there are all kinds of rumors outside, linking Yang Yang with the major giants.
There are even gossip media outlets that Yang Yang stayed at Liverpool because he was promised by the Middle Eastern consortium that bought Manchester City that he would switch to Manchester City a year later with an astonishing annual salary.
But Yang Yang did not pay the slightest attention to the rumors from the outside world.
……
After the completion of the transfer of Liverpool, while secretly training in Switzerland, the European transfer market has also begun to enter a white-hot phase, especially from Serie A and La Liga.
After Mourinho was rejected by Barcelona, he announced that he would coach Inter Milan, and the Portuguese madman waved the checkbook in his hand as soon as he took office, and spent 60 million euros in one summer to buy players such as Quaresma, Coutinho, Muntari, and Mancini Jr., causing a huge stir in European football.
City rivals AC Milan were not to be outdone, buying Ronaldinho and Zambrotta, followed by Shevchenko on loan from Chelsea, Senderos on loan from Arsenal and Flamini on a free transfer.
Galliani continued his shrewdness, with little money spent, but the player's hand was very large.
In La Liga, Barcelona failed to bring in Villa after bringing in players such as Sedoux Keita, Pique, Alves and Hleb, but with top stars such as Henry, Eto'o and Messi, Barcelona is still the most terrifying super team in European football.
Real Madrid also hit a wall with Villa and Sergio Aguero after the failure of Cristiano Ronaldo, with Calderón eventually bringing in young players such as Garay, Red de la Reid and Xavi Garcia, but selling Cassano and Van der Vaart, the latter of whom went to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
After the failure to introduce Ronaldo, Robinho announced his departure, Calderon tried every possible way to keep him, but the Brazilian star was decided, but in the end he did not go to Chelsea, which had just made a lifelong agreement with Robinho, but to Manchester City, which had just received investment from Middle Eastern tycoons.
With a transfer fee of 42 million euros, Manchester City has become the king of the transfer market this summer.
This was followed by Vincent Kompany from Hamburg, Wright Phillips from Chelsea, Zabaleta from Espanyol and Brazilian Joshua from the Russian Premier League......
With Manchester City's one-off transfer, the Premier League upstart has also surpassed Liverpool to become the team with the most Premier League transfer investment this summer, and there are even rumours that Manchester City are further strengthening their reinforcements, and the target even includes Kaka.
For a time, a monstrous wave was set off in the entire European football world.
Time quietly entered August.
Liverpool returned to England after a warm-up round in Europe, while Yang Yang quietly flew back to Beijing from London.
The Olympics are on!
