640 Switch to Barcelona?
Yang Yang's hat trick and six consecutive players not only made the media around the world cheer each other, but also made all fans amazed, and even brought out a series of transfer rumors.
Barcelona want to buy Yang Yang!
This rumor has been around for a long time and there is nothing strange about it, because long before the winter break, media revealed that Barcelona had offered Liverpool a sky-high price of 60 million euros, hoping to get Yang Yang.
But later, as Yang Yang won the European Golden Ball Award and World Footballer, and won the Grand Slam with personal honors, Yang Yang's value and influence also increased, and the rumors with Barcelona gradually faded.
But this time, when Yang Yang led Liverpool to defeat Barcelona 5-0 at home, rumors about Barcelona wanting him began to be rumored again, and some media even made a foregone conclusion.
Because Mourinho will take over the Camp Nou!
Barcelona will reorganize and change coaches, which is no longer news. Many superstars, including Ronaldinho and Etoo, have been included in the transfer list. After buying Ronaldinho and Etoo, Barcelona must introduce superstars to ensure the team's competitiveness.
Yang Yang is undoubtedly the most popular candidate.
On the website of the Daily Sports Daily, which is close to Barcelona, a questionnaire was conducted specifically for Barcelona fans. In the multiple-choice question of "Who is the summer signing you most longed for", Yang Yang ranked first with an absolute high vote advantage.
Barcelona fans love and hate Yang Yang.
I love him because Yang Yang represents the strongest combat power in today's football world, and he is very self-disciplined and full of professionalism. More importantly, he is only twenty-one years old, and his huge age advantage makes everyone believe that at least in the next ten years, he will still be the top superstar in today's football world.
As for hating him, it would be even simpler, because he led the Reds to defeat Barcelona for two seasons at Liverpool, which made Barcelona fans hate him to the core.
But everyone knows that there is no eternal hatred or eternal love in this world.
If you hate to the extreme, that is love.
A giant team like Barcelona always believes in one principle, that is, to poach those stars who make you hate them but can't do anything about it.
If I can't beat you, I will dig you!
In addition to this reason, Mourinho's entry into the Camp Nou is also an important reason why Yang Yang transfers to Barcelona.
Everyone knows that Mourinho has admired this Chinese player since his debut, and has repeatedly asked Chelsea to introduce Yang Yang. Especially in the summer of 2006, Mourinho even turned against Abramovich, hoping to bring Yang Yang to Stamford Bridge, but the result is...
This time, Mourinho took over the Camp Nou, and the player he wanted to bring in the most was still Yang Yang.
Catalan media revealed that "In the plan Mourinho submitted to the club, the first target of signing is Yang Yang. The Portuguese believe that with the combination of Yang Yang and Messi, Barcelona will dominate European football in the next ten years."
"Even Mourinho made a special CD to introduce his plan for Barcelona in detail. He is very much looking forward to seeing Yang Yang and Messi fight side by side at Camp Nou."
Catalonia is also very optimistic about Yang Yang's transfer, because Liverpool is currently in a financial crisis.
"Barcelona expressed its willingness to give a record price of 80 million euros, which is undoubtedly amazingly attractive to the Liverpool management, and they would love to see such a record offer."
In addition to media reports, players in Barcelona also welcomed Yang Yang.
During his time at Ajax, Yaya Toure played side by side with Yang Yang. The Ivory Coast midfielder believed that if Yang Yang came to Barcelona, it would definitely make Barcelona look like a tiger.
"He and Messi are completely compatible, because they are both top geniuses, and I believe that Yang Yang should also go to a higher-level stage to prove himself. Barcelona is undoubtedly the best platform."
On the one hand, there is the media's stimulation, Mourinho's call, coupled with the seduction of his former teammates, and on the other hand, Liverpool's financial difficulties and the limitations of the Reds, all of which make people look forward to Yang Yang's transfer.
Even the British Sun believes that "Yang Yang is full of yearning for a giant team like Barcelona, because he firmly believes that if he wants to become the top superstar on this planet, he must go to a top giant team like Barcelona."
Spanish media also revealed that in Laporta's restructuring plan, Yang Yang, favored by Barcelona fans, has been listed as a top priority. "Laporta has personally appointed a right-hand assistant to go to Liverpool to contact the Red Army management to discuss the possibility of introducing Yang Yang this summer."
"Liverpool's main sponsor Adidas is opposed to this transfer, but Yang Yang's personal sponsor is Nike. Brands from the United States hope that Yang Yang can switch to Barcelona in Nike's camp."
Liverpool officials quickly came forward to clarify.
At a pre-match press conference against Arsenal, head coach Benitez publicly stated that Yang Yang is a non-sale product of the team.
"I can't imagine that when I woke up the next day, it would definitely be a disaster without Yang Yang in my team."
Benitez also said that Yang Yang belongs to the team's non-sale product, and such players cannot be measured with any money.
"I believe Yang Yang will choose to stay in Liverpool because he has feelings for the fans here and this team."
Liverpool general manager Rick Parry also said that the club has no plans to sell Yang Yang.
"We will not pay attention to any rumors outside, because we have not received any offer about Yang Yang, nor have we had any practical contact with any team. Everything is a false rumor."
But the British media quickly responded, believing that Rick Parry's words were actually throwing a brick and accusation.
"He only said he had not received any offer and had no contact with any team, but in turn, he never promised the fans that he would not sell Yang Yang because it was difficult for a team like Liverpool to reject the sky-high price of up to 80 million euros."
Liverpool fans were very panicked, but at the same time they were quite dissatisfied with the management.
The reason for panic is that they feel that the team is really considering selling Yang Yang to pay off the debt because the management is in too serious debt, especially the two damn American bosses.
Since they bought the team, they have not invested much money, but now they can get a sky-high price of 80 million euros by selling Yang Yang. This is a temptation that two American bosses cannot refuse in any way.
But they were all very reluctant to leave because they knew that if they lost Yang Yang, Liverpool's competitiveness would be greatly reduced.
Look at the Liverpool team in December and January, who are still the same people, but without Yang Yang, or when Yang Yang is in poor condition, how bad is Liverpool's competitiveness?
...
When the outside world was in trouble, Yang Yang also came forward rarely and said in an interview with the Times that he would not discuss the issue of staying or leaving midway through the season.
"I just want to focus all my attention now and play every game that will come next. As for other things, I will seriously consider it after the season is over."
Yang Yang's statement undoubtedly further aggravated the speculation from the outside world, because he did not say anything to death.
In the team's locker room, Yang Yang promised everyone that he had no plans to leave Liverpool for the time being, and his agent Raiola did not have any contact or operation in this regard, and everything had nothing to do with him.
"If I make a decision, you must be the first to know."
The players in the locker room also understood and understood Yang Yang's behavior.
Part of the important reason why he didn't say anything to death was that he clearly felt that the club really wanted to sell him.
Raiola believes that with Yang Yang's current status and influence, even if he wants to transfer, he must hold the initiative firmly in his hands, rather than letting the club operate, which will only harm Yang Yang's interests in the end.
After all, Yang Yang also carries a lot of commercial sponsors on his back.
From getting the double-produced footballer to now, Raiola has signed a total of nine sponsors for Yang Yang, with a total value of nearly 50 million euros. Including the past, Yang Yang's commercial value itself is an astronomical figure.
If Liverpool allowed to operate, they would definitely not take these into consideration. How would Yang Yang explain to the sponsors?
Therefore, we must turn passive into initiative, come forward and take the initiative in our hands.
Yang Yang agrees with Raiola's statement that he likes Liverpool and has feelings for the club's players and fans, but it does not mean that he has to be at the mercy of those in the management, especially the two American bosses.

…………
While the outside world is hyping up Yang Yang's transfer, the Premier League ushered in the 33rd round of the league.
Liverpool is visiting Emirates Stadium and challenged Arsenal away.
The Gunners have lost the league championship battle, and like Liverpool, they have also ushered in the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round in the middle of the week. In this case, Wenger obviously attaches more importance to the second leg of the Champions League next week.
In the first leg, he drew Schalke zero-4 with one away game, and Arsenal only had a slight advantage, but he was not sure of a victory. Therefore, Wenger concentrated the main players to beat Schalke zero-4, but instead retained his strength against Liverpool and the Gunners.
In contrast, Liverpool has basically advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Barcelona five-to-zero at home. In this game, Liverpool continued to face the Gunners with its main lineup, and finally defeated Arsenal 1-0 away and scored three points.
Before the first half was over, Renner made a long pass in front of the goal. After Crouch grabbed the first landing point, he formed a beautiful cooperation with Yang Yang who was running over to meet him. The English tall man pushed his left foot away, dodged Galas, and volleyed directly at the air with his right foot, breaking through Arsenal's goal.
These three-pointers also allowed Liverpool to continue to lead the Premier League standings.
