Yang Yang returns to the big list again!
This piece of news quickly appeared on the morning of August 23, the newspaper pages of all major British media, and even the front page headlines.
The whole of the UK is eagerly awaiting, waiting for the 19-year-old genius brought in by Liverpool's sky-high price of 40 million euros, which can bring to Liverpool.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, the pre-match press conference the day before the game, Benitez said with a high profile that Yang Yang officially returned to the team, but refused to disclose whether he will or will be replaced.
"The only thing I can reveal is that from training, I can feel that his condition is very good, he is eager to participate in the game, and I believe that he will play an important role in tomorrow's game!"
Benitez's confidence also ignited the passion of Liverpool fans.
Especially with the focus of the British media on the day of the game, all the UK and even Europe have started to pay attention to this game, and everyone is looking forward to Yang Yang's Premier League debut.
Alan Hansen definitely supported Yang Yang, but also said in his column that Yang Yang should not be given too much pressure, but should be given to him a more relaxed environment, allowing him to find the pace of the Premier League as soon as possible.
Undoubtedly, with the trough of the turn of the century, Newcastle has lost the momentum of the Premier League, but this team has always been in the background, and the Magpies have always been one of the Premier League's most popular teams.
In the years of the handover of the century, Newcastle once fell to the middle and lower reaches, but since the beginning of the new century, under the guidance of coach Bobby Robson, Newcastle has ushered in a revival, ranking third, third and fourth consecutive seasons in the Premier League. fifth.
However, with the rise of Chelsea, Newcastle declined again, ranked 14th in the Premier League in the 4405 season, and the coach Robson was off the class. In the 0506 season, he hired Liverpool's famous Sonez Improvement, after the class halfway, assistant coach Glenn Rodel rescued the fire, Newcastle only showed its strength again.
Last season, he won the seventh place in the league, so Glen Rodel was able to stay in office and officially stepped onto the front desk.
This summer, Newcastle's investment is also quite expensive, introducing Duff from Chelsea, Martins from Inter Milan, and Italian striker Rossi on loan from Manchester United.
These signings and operations have greatly strengthened Newcastle's competitiveness, making the Magpies beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 at home in the first round of the league, and Glenn Rodell is also ambitious to score points away.
Also at the pre-match press conference, the Newcastle head coach even threatened to say that Liverpool are now suffering a lot of injuries. Players such as Yang Yang, Carragher and Reese are all recovering from injury, which will be a great opportunity for Newcastle.
"Liverpool, please be careful! We will be braver on the road!"
This is also interpreted by the media as a provocation by Glenn Rodel.

The game is held in the evening.
In the evening, Liverpool's bus slowly drove into the Anfield stadium and stopped at the entrance of the player passage.
Liverpool fans around have already gathered around, all shouting the names of players, many people are singing the team song that you will never walk alone.
Captain Gerrard took the lead off the bus, which gave him a burst of warm cheers and applause.
Subsequently, every player's appearance was warmly welcomed by fans.
When Yang Yang got off the bus, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers all around again, and the momentum was not lost to the team captain Gerrard, which also showed the love of Liverpool fans for him.
Yang Yang waved to the fans to thank them for their support.
Gerrard patted his shoulder with a smile, and the two entered the narrow player aisle one after the other.
The dressing room in Liverpool is small.
In a room, in the middle is a rectangular table that looks a bit like a workbench, and beside the wall is a bench. Above the bench are the hooks used by players to hang their clothes. At this time, the hooks are already covered with players' clothes.
Yang Yang's No. 11 jersey is among them.
Such a crowded locker room is not uncommon in European football, but players are already used to it.
Sitting on a bench, the opposite wall posted a picture of Shankly and his players that Yang Yang had seen before.
He has a feeling that Liverpool seems to be telling all players in this way. Here, there are things that have not changed in a hundred years, including the facilities in the dressing room.
Next to Yang Yang is midfielder Harvey Alonso, and on the other side is Dutch player Kuyt. They are no strangers to each other. After high-fiving each other, he began to close his eyes and relax.
He needs to stabilize his emotions.

…………
Newcastle came to Anfield Stadium earlier than Liverpool.
Therefore, their pre-match training also ended earlier.
The reason is simple. The game strategy developed by Glenn Rodel is offensive.
"I don't know if Yang Yang can play in this game, nor how much his state can be restored, because I am not Benitez, but I want to say that these are not important!"
Glenn Rodel has been recognized by everyone for his excellent results after the fire rescue in the middle of last season.
"Liverpool want to score points at home, so they must take a more aggressive tactic, but their offense, we all know that they lack speed, lack sharp and sharp impact!"
This is not what Glen Rodell said, but the consensus of the entire Premier League.
Last season, Liverpool did not perform well on all fronts. In the end, they only won the FA Cup. The main reason is their offense. This is a very serious problem.
Lack of sharp speed is also a drawback of Liverpool's attack.
"Yang Yang has just recovered from his injuries and is just here. I don't think Benitez will arrange him. Of course, even with him, I don't think he can bring any huge changes. We just need to stick to our own style of play. "
Glenn Rodel's words were recognized by the players.
In fact, as long as you can start to grab a goal, it is perfect for Newcastle.
As long as the lead, Liverpool must be pressed out to play, Newcastle will actively shrink to play defensive counterattack.
The team has speed players like Martins and Duff, which are quite threatening in the counterattack.
If you really give Newcastle the lead, then Liverpool will be miserable.
"Of course, we have to be careful. Yang Yang can cost Liverpool 40 million euros. This is definitely not simple. From the pre-season warm-up game, he should change his position. Ajax used to play right. , But in Liverpool, Benitez seems to want him to play on the left. "
Speaking of which, Glenn Rodell looked at an Irishman with a small head.
"Stephen, you will take care of him by then!"
The named right-back Stephen Carle clapped hard, "Relax, boss, I stared at him, let this 19-year-old kid, see the horror of the Premier League!"
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the dressing room.
In fact, many people are not convinced of Yang Yang, because everyone feels that he is not worth 40 million euros at all.
The reason is simple. How much did Rooney transfer to Manchester United?
Is the performance of the Dutch League still convincing?
Kyrgyzstan, who swept through the Netherlands in those years, how about after coming to the Premier League?
After Yang Yang joined Liverpool, the first official game, he was injured after only ten minutes of playing. This undoubtedly further deepened the impression of the outside world. Everyone feels that with his thin body, it is difficult to adapt to the fierce Premier League. competition.
Stephen Carr thinks so too.
"Be careful, he's fast." Glen Rodell reminded.
"How about Biroban?" Stephen Carl asked back.
At once, there was another burst of laughter in the locker room.
When Robben just landed in the Premier League, he was hailed as a Dutch flying man, a flying Dutchman, but what happened?
He has almost as much time to heal as he has played.
And Yang Yang will be the next Robben!
Glen Rodell also said no more, it was not good to raise the morale of his opponents too much before the game and exterminate his own prestige.
"Okay, guys, what I need you to do next is grab a good start at the beginning."
"We played well in the first round of the league, then we need to play well in the second round!"

…………
When the two teams, led by referee Mark Halsey, walked into the Anfield stadium, all Liverpool fans were cheering.
Especially when the live commentator shouted the name of each Liverpool player, the scene was followed by a burst of cheers.
"Our captain, Steven Gerrard!"
"Gerard! Gerald!"
"Our goalkeeper, Reina!"
"Reine!"
"And our guard, Daniel Agger ... Steven Finnan ... Fabio Aurelio ... Sami Hepia ..."
"Our midfielder Harvey Alonso ... Mohamed Sissoko ..."
"There is also the striker, Dick Kuyt on the right ... Peter Crouch ..."
"Of course, there are our most important ones, who have just recovered from injury, the Chinese teenager, Yang Yang !!!"
Immediately, the entire Anfield stadium was boiling!
"Yang Yang! Yang Yang !!! Yang Yang !!!"
All the fans in the audience were cheering Yang Yang's name, and the momentum was unforgettable!
Su Ye and Winston Bogarde were sitting on the stands of Anfield Stadium, watching nervously as they walked into the stadium and greeted Yang Yang towards the fans. He looked confident and calm.
"Good, still so calm, I believe he is ready!" Winston Bogard praised.
Su Ye nodded vigorously.
She knows that Yang Yang has been under heavy pressure and burden for the past ten days. He has always felt that he is a little ashamed of Liverpool fans, and has always been a bit depressed.
Tonight, he looks full of fighting spirit.
He obviously intends to vent his repression and negative emotions in the past ten days tonight.
He wants to repay the Liverpool fans twice!
Use his performance! Use his goals! Use everything about him!
