After returning from the dinner, Yang Yang spent the time before going to bed reading the book recording Liverpool's history.

There are many detailed details recorded here, such as why the Goodson Park Stadium in Everton and Anfield Stadium in Liverpool are so close, and how did the two mortal enemies in the city come from?

Also, this book also records the Heisel tragedy and the Hillsborough tragedy, as well as the impact of these two tragedies on Liverpool.

What makes Yang Yang the most profound is that Liverpool is still fighting for the Hillsborough tragedy even now.

In just a few years, this top team that once swept Europa was banned from the mainstream European leagues and even felt like it was exiled. Since then, Liverpool has never won a league championship again.

This also made Yang Yang understand the mood of some Liverpool local players and fans.

After winning two Champions League titles, they are obviously more eager for the league championship.

This is not just an honor, but to some extent, it is more like a comfort that has been separated for many years.

It can be said that since the founding of the Premier League, these four words have been deeply engraved on Liverpool's soul. They never believe in fate or accept their fate. They believe in the power of resistance and perseverance.

After reading this book, Yang Yang's understanding of Liverpool has become deeper, and he has a further understanding of the inheritance that Gerald and Carragher intentionally or unintentionally revealed throughout the day.

Perhaps, in the increasingly utilitarian professional football environment, spirit, inheritance, feelings, and so on, these illusory things will be ignored or even belittled by many people, but as Darglish said, these make Liverpool great. If there are no such things, will Liverpool still be Liverpool?

Other teams are struggling to survive, so they can ignore it, but Liverpool's goal is always to return to the top of Europe, so they must protect these things that make the club great.

This is Yang Yang’s own understanding.

The next morning, Raiola visited.

The Italian fat man mainly brought about the situation in European football in recent times and some of the things he learned.

At the same time, he also had another purpose for this trip, which was to bring Nike a new pair of sneakers.

This is a clause in Nike's sponsorship contract. New sneakers are sent every three months. The purpose is to hope that Yang Yang will cooperate with their publicity. Moreover, Yang Yang practices very frequently and the sneakers wear very quickly.

It is always a bit awkward to wear new shoes, so Yang Yang usually wears old shoes to compete, and new shoes are used for training.

"In recent times, I have received a lot of news. It is said that Manchester United is also fully operating Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese has completely defeated Rooney in the team's internal competition. It is estimated that his ranking will be very high this time and even hope to enter the top three."

Judging from the current situation, only the top three players in the world are the most valuable.

Yang Yang and Kaka must occupy two of them, because they are not only the leaders in the Champions League runner-up, but also the best-sounding superstars. It is beyond doubt that they occupy the top two, and the difference is who can win the first place.

As for the third place, it seems inconspicuous, but it is also an honor that countless professional players have dreamed of throughout their lives. It is normal for Manchester United to operate Cristiano Ronaldo to enter the top three.

"Is there no movement in Barcelona?" Yang Yang was very strange.

"Ronaldinho's performance over the past year has been too sluggish. Barcelona stopped in the quarterfinals with empty hands. He has no results. Moreover, his condition has been fluctuating and has been declining in the past year."

Raiola analyzed the current situation, "As far as I know, Barcelona is focusing on Messi. The Argentine now has a higher position in Barcelona than Ronaldinho. Externally, his development momentum is not inferior to that of Brazilian superstars. Moreover, how amazing Barcelona's operating ability is, we cannot imagine."

Yang Yang nodded. He had heard of these things.

If you want to say that the strongest player ability in this world is Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially Real Madrid during the Florentino period.

Although the Galaxy Battleship has only been six years, Florentino's gameplay is unprecedented. To some extent, he has completely changed the gameplay of professional football clubs, especially in the operation of top superstars and brand management.

So far, it is still difficult for any superstar to refuse the temptation from Real Madrid.

This name is like a magical one that makes everyone eager for it.

Of course, if Calderon and Mijatovic continue to make trouble like this, I am afraid that this sign will be smashed by them themselves, and it will be unknown what will happen in the future.

"Don't worry about these things." Yang Yang shook his head. He didn't have much thought to deal with these things. "You can help me do two things."

"What's up?"

"I have been using Apple to sell iPhones in recent months, and it feels pretty good. I plan to invest some more money to this company and buy their stocks."

"Also buy it? You now hold five million euros in this company." Raiola was puzzled.

Since January 2007, Apple CEO Steve Jobs released the first iPhone phone, the company's stock price has been rising, which has also caused the stock Yang Yang bought to rise and the price has increased several times.

"I'm very optimistic about this company." Yang Yang said seriously.

Raiola smiled bitterly, "I remember, you seemed to say that it was purely for love, why did it change?"

"Have you made money?" Yang Yang smiled honestly and bluntly.

The fat Italian almost fell down. If you don’t make money, you are just interested. If you make money, you become your vision. You are still awesome!

Yang Yang didn't have much investment, and most of them were handed over to Wei Zheng to manage. He only invested in stocks of two companies, one was Penguin and the other was Apple. Unexpectedly, the stocks of both companies rose so much that Raiola regretted it. Why didn't he buy a little with him at the beginning?

"But I heard that the reviews of this new phone now are mixed," said Raiola.

As soon as Apple released its mobile phone, Yang Yang asked the Raiolato people to bring back several movies from the United States. Except for himself, Su Ye and Raiola, the others were given to relatives and friends in China.

But Raiola is really not used to this fresh electronic product and is not easy to use, so he changed back to Nokia not long after, and always felt that how could something like an Apple phone have a market?

"It's not mature enough, but I believe Steve Jobs, and I think the potential is great, so if you buy me some stocks in this company, we're making money now."

Raiola had no choice but to agree.

He is Yang Yang's agent, but many times, agents play the role of running errands.

"They will be listed in Europe in November. You can contact me by the way. Then I will buy a hundred pieces and I will give you a gift."

Since Ajax made the first move, before Christmas every year, Yang Yang would give the teammates, staff and coaches a gift, sometimes electronics, sometimes something else.

In summary, the annual expenditure in this area is about tens of thousands of euros, but it is completely within Yang Yang's acceptance range, because this is less than a week's income, but it can always win the favor of his teammates and staff. Why not do it?

…………

At 20 o'clock on Wednesday night, Liverpool was sitting at Anfield Stadium and welcomed League Cup rival Cardiff.

Leading the Premier League standings and qualifying for the Champions League group stage is about to qualify. Liverpool does not have much energy to devote to the cup, especially the team's recent state and injuries are indeed very distressing, so Benitez has not done his best.

Gerald, Yang Yang, Harvey Alonso, Mascherano and others all sat in the stands.

Although I knew early on that the team would not send all the main players, Anfield Stadium was still full of people, with more than 40,000 fans coming to the scene to watch the game, and the attendance rate was still very hot.

This is also a major feature of Liverpool fans. No matter what the game is, they all support the team with 100% support.

Perhaps due to the large rotation and the arrangement of a large number of substitutes and young players, Liverpool did not perform well on the court, and the team's offensive organization was relatively chaotic. Even if the overall strength was slightly better than the opponent, it did not show convincing strength.

After the second half of the game, Bernardon scored the first record for Liverpool in three minutes at the start of the game, but soon, in the 65th minute, Cardiff equalized the score, and just one minute later, Bernardon took another shot and surpassed the score again.

After that, neither side was able to score again.

Benardon, who scored twice, was selected as the best player in the game. Lucas Reva, who joined the title of Best Player in the Brazilian League this summer, also played the whole game in this game, and overall performance was OK.

Whether it is from the game or from training, it is not difficult to see that Lucas Reva has not yet adapted to the Premier League, but the club is still full of confidence in him.

The Premier League has always been regarded as the hardest hit area for Brazilian players. There are very few Brazilian players who can succeed in the Premier League. So far, the most successful one is Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva.

As for whether Lucas Reva can succeed, it depends on himself.

...

Liverpool won, everyone was in a good mood.

After the game, Yang Yang and other main players went to the locker room to congratulate their teammates. On the way back, they met many media reporters. When they were interviewed, they were all happy that the team won.

When Yang Yang was asked that the Catalan media believed that his goal when playing Arsenal was not considered a five-man straight, Yang Yang smiled and said that he didn't care.

"Don't count? It doesn't matter. I'll look for an opportunity another day, and I'll try to get in another one."
