This summer, Yang Yang once deeply reflected on his performance over the past two seasons. Fiction.
An important part of the downturn last season was due to his mentality, but partly because his physical and mental problems occurred as soon as he entered December, especially around Christmas.
The winter break has always been a watershed in the Premier League.
Ferguson has a famous saying that if a team can lead to the end of the winter break, then it is the real championship hotspot, and the Manchester United he coached has always been known for reversing his opponents during Christmas and the winter break .
This is the case for the team, as is the Premier League team.
Almost all the players who landed in the Premier League will inevitably face the problem of the winter break. That is a double test of the player ’s physical and psychological, because everyone is on holiday, and the family gathers together to happily spend Christmas. Where do I plan to travel, but only the players of the Premier League still struggle and maintain their training and competition.
If it is said that domestic fans are more likely to empathize, when everyone is on the Spring Festival and returning home for the New Year, not only do you have to continue to work hard, and the workload is even greater than usual. There is no double bonus, what do you think in your heart?
Even if you love your job very much, what about your family, relatives and friends? They will not inject you with some negative emotions?
When talking about the Devil's schedule during the winter break, the local players in England always forget to ridicule themselves, "We are a group of unlucky eggs that have never had a good rest since 1960."
The first leg of Yang Yang ’s landing in European football is the Dutch League. The winter break is very long. After he moved to the Premier League, there was no winter break. As a result, he has not been able to adapt to the Premier League ’s winter break Devil schedule in the past two years. The performance of time has not been ideal.
But this is not a problem for him alone. Most of the players who join the Premier League will encounter such problems, and the speed of adaptation will be fast and slow.
Of course, not everyone is like this, such as Van Nistelrooy.
The Dutch center's first season with Manchester United did not perform well before the winter break. The first sixteen rounds of the league only scored five goals, but after mid-December, with the overall performance of Manchester United, He scored ten goals in the next eight rounds, scoring continuously.
Everyone has different physiques, different physical conditions, and naturally different speeds of adaptation.
But Yang Yang firmly believes that if he can overcome the winter break of the Premier League, he will not be afraid of any challenges.
After learning the lessons of the previous two seasons, starting this summer, he communicated and negotiated with Winston Bogard and the club ’s coaching staff to adjust his own physical training and fitness reserve.
Starting from the new season, Yang Yang also decided to let himself play more relaxed.
…………
…………
At 15 o'clock in the afternoon on August 23, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.
In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Middlesbrough at home.
With multiple players still participating in the Olympics, Liverpool's lineup still failed to do its best.
The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Aurelio, Skotel, Carragher and Aveloa, the midfielder is Xavi Alonso, Benayon and Gerrard are in the center, the frontcourt is Yang Yang , Crouch and Kuyt.
What is different from the first round is that Yang Yang appeared in the lineup immediately after returning, and the midfielder used offensive and organizational skills, and his creativity was better. Benayon replaced Gareth Barry.
Benitez's lineup has been on the line from the beginning, with three points at home.
This is also Yang Yang's first official game of the new season and Anfield's debut. When he followed the team out of the player channel, all Liverpool fans chanted his name and cheered him.
Although outside rumors, Yang Yang staying in the team is only temporary, but Liverpool fans are very proud to be able to leave him.
"Now everyone is also looking forward to whether Yang Yang can lead Liverpool to continue to impact the league championship and the Champions League and other honors after staying in the team, and whether he can reproduce the state and momentum that was outstanding last season."
Yang Yang raised his hands and applauded in return for the love that Liverpool fans loved him, but he seemed relaxed, and the whole person jumped a few times on the court without any tension before the game.
But Middlesbrough coach Southgate was very nervous after watching it, because he knew that the more this situation was, the less careless it was, because at the Yangyang level, a sudden flash of light might be able to change Game trend.
Therefore, Southgate very carefully told the players that they must be cautious.
Defensive players like Middlesbrough such as Robert Hutt and David White have also experienced Yang Yang ’s sharpness beforehand. They did not dare to carelessly. From the beginning of the game, they were extremely cautious and cautious.
Even so, Yang Yang quickly created a threat.
In just two minutes of the opening, Yang Yang forcibly broke the ball on the left, after passing two players in Middlesbrough, and passed to the back point. Kuyt volleyed after the point and was flew by Miborg goalkeeper Turnbull Save.
Then Liverpool made a big push to attack.
First, Benaillon passed the ball on the right and then crossed, Skotel quickly inserted into the penalty area and missed the header.
But Middlesbrough sent a goal kick and was quickly cut off by Liverpool. Xavi Alonso passed a diagonal pass to the left. Yang Yang kept the ball and his left foot directly took a volley and sent the ball into the penalty area. In the forward arc area, Crouch followed up and volleyed slightly out of the way.
A minute later, Gerrard had a long shot 30 meters away from the goal, but it was clearly higher than the goal.
Liverpool continued to strengthen the offensive, especially in the frontcourt, Yang Yang made a lot of threats on the left, forcing Middlesbrough to put in a heavy defense on his own right, but in this way, the middle and Liverpool's right can frequently get opportunity.
Yang Yang also played more restrained in this game. He didn't just want to launch a direct offensive on his own. Instead, he used his bait to attract the opponent's defensive attention and let his teammates participate in the attack.
Such a change makes Middlesbrough's defensive players miserable, because they dare not relax their vigilance against Yang Yang.
When the game reached the seventh minute, it was an attack from Yang Yang's left wing. Aurelio diagonally inserted into the front of the penalty area and crossed the ball to Beyond. Then Middlesbrough fouled Benardon. , Giving Liverpool a free kick at the front of the penalty area.
Yang Yang stood at the penalty spot reluctantly, and this time it was Benayong who was covering him.
Israel's free kick is also good in the midfield, but compared to Yang Yang, it is still slightly inferior.
With Yang Yang's frequent free kick success in the past year, his free kick name is becoming more and more popular, which makes Middlesbrough dare not carelessly, carefully placed the wall, goalkeeper Turnbull kept Communicate with teammates, direct the wall movement, and want to create a defensive position that is most beneficial to you.
But with the referee's whistle, Yang Yang quickly sent a penalty, this time he simply did not even run by Benayn.
Only with a bang, Yang Yang quickly sent a free kick.
After the ball crossed a beautiful arc, it flew over the wall of the Middlesbrough who jumped up, the speed did not decrease, but the ball fell quickly, and in the area near the goal, there was suddenly an obvious The arc changes, causing goalkeeper Turnbull to make a wrong judgment and fly directly into the goal.
One to zero!
...
"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"A wonderful free kick broke directly from Yang Yang!"
"In just seven minutes of the opening, Yang Yang broke the goal of Middlesbrough with a wonderful direct free kick."
"This is definitely a painful blow for Middlesbrough."
"Yang Yang scored in the first game of the new season and scored. It looks like his condition is really good."
"And seven minutes to score, this is a very good start for Liverpool."
...
Yang Yang's goal completely ignited Liverpool's passion.
After the game restarted, after serving in Middlesbrough, Liverpool quickly overwhelmed and snatched the ball.
Gerrard returned Xavi Alonso, Spain made a diagonal pass to the left. After Yang Yang stopped the ball, he faced Robert Hutt and made a beautiful forcible breakthrough. He passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Crouch header from close range in front of the goal, two to zero!
The Liverpool fans in the stands were completely excited.
Eight minutes, two goals ahead, this is a fantastic start!
...
Subsequently, Liverpool continued to strengthen the pressure on Middlesbrough, while also increasing the offensive strength in the frontcourt.
Before the end of the first half, another opportunity created by Yang Yang on the left, Aurelio passed to the middle, Gerrard quickly hit the ball straight, and gave it to the defense line, Kuyt inserted and calmly pushed Shot hit, three to zero!
In the end, Liverpool ended the first half with a three-ball lead.
...
In the second half of the game, Southgate took the lead in substitutions. Andrew Taylor replaced Robert Hutt, adjusted the team's back line, hoping to stabilize the position.
And this really played a role, especially in the first half hour, Middlesbrough was well guarded.
But after seventy minutes, Liverpool gradually took advantage.
In the seventy-ninth minute, Yang Yang suddenly withdrew to the midfield to receive the ball. Benayong quickly sent the ball to his feet. After Yang Yang got the ball, his right foot passed diagonally behind the defense line. Kuyt inserted it and directly fish Jump to the top and send the ball into the goal of Middlesbrough again, four to zero!
The entire Anfield stadium was completely boiling.
Everyone knows that Yang Yang ’s return can greatly improve the team ’s offense, but I did not expect that the improvement will be so large, which directly brought a four to zero victory. The team ’s entire offense did not score with the first round of the league. There has been a huge improvement.
One goal, two assists, Yang Yang brought three goals directly after his return, and even the third goal came from Yang Yang ’s planning, and without Yang Yang, Liverpool did not know tonight What's the kick like-
