678 The second Yang Yang
After the seventh round of the Premier League, the most exciting news is not that Liverpool has won seven in a row, four points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, and continues to lead the Premier League scorer list, nor is it that Yang Yang leads the Premier League scorer list with 13 goals with two passes and one shot.
It was Manchester City's right full-back Zabaleta who tackled Yang Yang, causing Yang Yang's blood to splash the news on the City Stadium.
The news quickly spread through British Fleet Street and soon spread around the world.
Fans who like Yang Yang are worried about his injury, for fear that he will be ruined by Zabaleta's rough and savage flying tackle, while those fans who don't like Yang Yang are secretly celebrating, and even wish that Yang Yang was seriously injured and missed the season ahead of schedule.
Since Yang Yang landed in the Premier League, he has broken through the goals of all Premier League teams, and no one wants to meet him.
Zabaleta was interviewed by the media as soon as possible after the game, publicly apologizing for his behavior, hoping to get Yang Yang's forgiveness, and repeatedly emphasized that he was indeed too anxious and hot-headed at the time, but there was absolutely no malice.
Liverpool officials announced on the official website on the morning of the second day of the game that after a detailed examination by the hospital, Yang Yang's injury on his right calf was fine, but it was estimated that he would have to rest for a week.
With two weeks of international break ahead, Yang Yang's injury is not a big deal for Liverpool.
However, Liverpool officials still said that they called on the FA to severely punish such barbaric on-pitch brutality and adopt stricter enforcement standards to protect players with outstanding technical ability like Yang Yang.
There was a lot of turmoil outside, and this time the FA also quickly made a decision, adding two more games, counting the original one, Zabaleta was directly suspended for three games because of this flying tackle and this red card.
Both Manchester City and Zabaleta have said they accept the FA's punishment.
An FA spokesman said the three-match suspension was imposed because the FA believed that Zabaleta's behaviour was not overtly malicious, but it was aggressive, which was a serious foul and affected the image of the Premier League, so it decided to punish him severely.
The spokesperson also said that the FA is working to standardize the law enforcement standards of referees, hoping to eliminate violence on the pitch to the greatest extent possible and maintain the image of the Premier League.
This is not the first time.
In the 27th round of the Premier League last season, Arsenal played Birmingham away in the game, just two minutes into the opening game, Birmingham defender Martin Taylor was directly viciously sideways when defending Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva, and was directly red carded by the referee.
It was an extremely serious foul, and Da Silva completely broke his entire leg bone and has not yet recovered.
Da Silva's precedent has not subsided, this time Zabaleta is a side-to-back flying tackle, although it is not malicious, but it is indeed worth paying attention to, if Yang Yang really breaks his leg, the image of the Premier League will be ruined.
Let's ask, where will there be high-level players who dare to play in the Premier League in the future?
This is also the reason why the FA reacted quickly and thundered this time.
Yang Yang was interviewed by Liverpool's official website on the third day after the game, saying that he accepted Zabaleta's apology, but also hoped that the Premier League official could improve the standard of law enforcement.
"It's good for the overall spectacle and competitiveness of the Premier League and its competitiveness in the Champions League."
…………
…………
The league was suspended, and the international players in the team have returned to China one after another.
Yang Yang's right leg injury is not serious, but for the sake of safety, the team doctor Mark Waller still wants him to stay in Liverpool and be treated by the team doctor at any time to ensure that he is okay, so Yang Yang made a special phone call to the national team coach Alihan and told him that he would postpone his return for a week, and the national team accepted his request.
Since the start of the league, Yang Yang and Su Ye have also gathered less and left more, and it is rare to have a chance, Su Ye specially asked for leave to stay in Liverpool to accompany him, not to mention how comfortable the small life was, and then went back to the Netherlands to visit Van Gaal.
The old man has been living a lot at AZ Alkmaar lately, especially after a good rest, and he has gradually instilled some of his ideas and ideas into this AZ Alkmaar team, which has become his best showcase.
AZ Alkmaar has performed well this season, and the current ranking is not high for the time being, but the overall strength is very strong, and it is very rare to beat PSV Eindhoven, and when Van Gaal saw Yang Yang, he even said with confidence that this year's AZ Alkmaar is very sure to hit for better results, and even the championship.
Seeing his old friend resurrected with full blood, Yang Yang was also very happy for him.
He still clearly remembers that when Van Gaal came down from Barcelona, his expression was depressed, which was completely different from the ambitious he is now, which shows that he has really grown a lot in coaching skills in the past few years when he has been dormant at AZ Alkmaar.
After his uncle Shen Ming closed the Chinese restaurant, Yang Yang had a rare trip back to the Netherlands, this time back, in addition to meeting with Van Gaal, he also went to Ajax and Almere for a trip, but unfortunately it has long been a mistake.
John Repp has long left Almere, Ronald Coman and Luther Carroll have also left Ajax, Sneijder, De Jong, Heitinga and other teammates have also left one after another, plus some are on vacation, and some go to participate in the national team competition, resulting in Yang Yang coming to the Netherlands, not a single acquaintance has been seen.
Finally, at De Tokmoste in Ajax, Yang Yang met with Chinese player Wu Lei and another Uruguayan striker, Luis Suarez, who did not return to play for the national team due to injury.
The 21-year-old Uruguayan player is the same age as Yang Yang, but he is in January and Yang Yang is in October, but the date is about the same.
It stands to reason that he is bigger than Yang Yang, but in fact, his status in European football is far inferior to Yang Yang.
When Yang Yang switched from Ajax to Liverpool for a sky-high price of 40 million euros, Suarez transferred from South America to Groningen for 800,000 euros, and he scored 13 goals and six assists in the following year, and then joined Ajax for 7.5 million euros.
Because the position he plays is very similar to Yang Yang, many people say that he will become the second Yang Yang cultivated by Ajax, but this is more just the hype of the Dutch media, and the mainstream European media don't care.
After all, in recent years, the Dutch league has been declining more and more.
However, when the real Li Kui saw the fake Li Ghost, it was still very interesting.
Suarez also has a very good personality, as soon as he saw Yang Yang, he asked for an autograph and a group photo, and said that he was recently seriously studying all of Yang Yang's goals at Ajax, which was a task assigned to him by the club's coaching staff, hoping to improve his scoring ability, because it has been rumored that Bendtner and Huntelaar are likely to leave.
"They all think I'm like you, and I really see you as a goal, even though I'm nine months older than you."
After saying that, Suarez himself couldn't help but laugh, showing his cute little front teeth.
Maybe it was Suarez's attitude, or maybe he came to Ajax, Yang Yang was also very fond of this little junior brother, and immediately chatted with him a lot.
Interestingly, Suarez and his family live in Odekerk, in the house where McCone used to live, diagonally opposite Wu Lei, so the two made an appointment to come to Detokmoste to train together during the holidays.
It's fate, Suarez has been admiring Yang Yang for a long time, and invited Yang Yang and Su Ye to his house for dinner that night, and Yang Yang also unreservedly told Suarez a lot of his experience and experience in playing football.
The two are the same age, but you must know that the big battle that Yang Yang has experienced is completely unimaginable to Suarez.
Yang Yang has won three Champions League titles so far, while Suarez has no experience in the Champions League knockout rounds.
As for Wu Lei, Yang Yang also advised him to work harder, especially to make himself more comprehensive, basic skills or something, Wu Lei is already quite solid in China, and he has further improved after coming to Ajax, and he is only sixteen years old now, and his future is bright.
Yang Yang's advice to him is to endure loneliness and calm down, and now that he has played as a substitute in the first team of Ajax, he can grow and progress here with peace of mind, improve himself, and will definitely have the opportunity to prove himself on a broader stage in the future.
Unconsciously, Yang Yang has become a senior in the eyes of others.
As everyone knows, he is only twenty-one years old.
……
Although he came to the Netherlands and couldn't meet those old friends back then, he met Suarez and Wu Lei, and Yang Yang also gained a lot, so they chatted until midnight before returning to the hotel.
The next morning, Yang Yang and Su Ye took the first flight back to China and went directly to the national team to report.
This time, the national team faced Australia, one of the two strongest opponents in the top 10, and it was at home.
Although Yang Yang was not able to participate in the national team training camp, his role in this team has always been very prominent, he was able to return to the team in time, the whole team was excited, and the morale was also skyrocketing.
From the training, Yang Yang also performed very actively, the injury of his right calf has basically healed, Yang Yang said that he played the whole game without any problems.
But even so, Alihan didn't dare to be too careless, not only did the team doctor pay close attention, he also only arranged for Yang Yang to play for 60 minutes, but in this hour, Yang Yang scored a goal, and finally helped the Chinese team narrowly defeat Australia 1-0 at home and won two consecutive wins in the group.
After the game, Yang Yang received congratulatory text messages from Ajax Wu Lei and Suarez as soon as possible.
Obviously, they were both watching the game in Amsterdam.
This made Yang Yang feel even happier, and he texted back one after another, thanking them for their congratulations, and also inviting them to have the opportunity to visit Liverpool.
……
After playing the national team game, Yang Yang and Su Ye walked with the foreign international players, returned to Europe together, flew directly to London, and then parted ways in London, Yang Yang transferred to Liverpool.
Since Yang Yang came back a day earlier than the others, Liverpool's Melwood was still empty, and only one person was there to practice hard.
