Chapter 237 Defending the Legendary Record

Liverpool's opponent in the 24th round of the league is Swansea.

Swansea has almost always been in the middle of the table in the past few seasons.

However, even if they are fighting on their home ground.

Swansea also lost 0-4 at the Liberty Stadium.

The sun shines twice.

After twenty-four rounds of the league.

Liverpool still tops the list.

This is not surprising. Although many people expect Liverpool to lose points, no one thinks that Liverpool, whose main players have rested for a whole week, will be defeated or tied by Swansea.

The media are more concerned about the sun.

In this round of the league.

Sunshine scored his 30th and 31st Premier League goals!
The league has only reached the 24th round.

There are 14 league rounds left.

How many goals can Sunshine score?

Anyway
It is probably a foregone conclusion that he will break the Premier League single-season goal record.

Look at Sunshine's goal rate: 24 goals in 31 league games.

This number of goals tied Cristiano Ronaldo's highest number of goals in a single Premier League season - the season when Ronaldo scored the most goals in a single Premier League season was 31 goals.

And now, the Sunshine has scored 24 goals in just 31 rounds.

Considering that he was suspended for 4 games, it was actually 20 goals in 31 games!
And up to now, Yang Guang has no record of being suspended due to injuries.

This is an iron man!

Although Klopp sometimes makes some rotations in the league, no matter who is rotated, Sunshine will not be rotated.

As long as there is no suspension.

He will definitely not miss the Premier League games.

If he keeps this up.

It is probably a foregone conclusion that the number of goals this season will reach 40.

After this round of league.

Yangguang learned this from some reporters.

He became the eighth player in the history of the Premier League to score more than 30 goals in a season!

What is the record for goals scored in a single Premier League season? The answer is 34.

This record belongs to Andy Cole in the 93-94 season and Alan Shearer in the 94-95 season.

Because before the 94-95 season, there were 22 Premier League teams.

therefore.

Although Andy Cole and Alan Shearer both scored 34 goals in a single season.

But strictly speaking, this record belongs to Alan Shearer alone - because in 1994, the Premier League was reformed and the number of teams was reduced from 22 to 20.

In other words.

Even though they were both 34 balls.

But in the season when Andy Cole set the record, the Premier League had 42 games in the entire season.

Alan Shearer's season was 38 games, the same as now.

Therefore, it is generally believed that the record holder for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season is Alan Shearer, not Andy Cole.

Now, Sunshine is only 3 goals away from Alan Shearer's record.

When I think about the record that has been maintained for more than 20 years, not many players have come close to it.

The Sunshine is likely to break it in the next round, or in the next twenty rounds of the league.

Many reporters on Fleet Street felt a chill: this Chinese man was truly horrible.

"I can't help but feel sad for strikers of the same era as Sunshine. With such a horrific goal efficiency, it's simply impossible to compete with him. Look at Kane, who is now ranked second in the scorer list. He has only scored 20 goals."

"With 20 league goals, I would have had a chance to compete for the league's Golden Boot in the past season, but now I don't even have a chance to be on par with Sunshine."

"Yangguang scored 14 goals, which is not his goal for the whole season, but only his goal in the middle of the season. There are still rounds of league games to go, how many more goals can he score? Who knows!"

"This is the most terrifying goal monster in the history of the Premier League. From the moment he came to the Premier League, I think the topic of discussing the Golden Boot has become boring."

The media described this incident with amazement and helplessness.

in England.

In other parts of the world.

Everyone was talking about Yangguan's crazy performance.

Even Messi and Ronaldo don't have such a goal efficiency as him - before this, the Spanish media believed that Sunshine's goals in Ligue 1 were not of high quality, at least not as high as in La Liga.

But now he is in the Premier League, which is generally recognized to be much more difficult to brush statistics than La Liga, and he has achieved 24 goals in 31 rounds.

This is even after he was suspended for four games.

at this time.

Many people recalled what Monaco coach Jardim said last season: "If we compare the ability to score goals, no one in the world can compare to Sunshine, not Messi, not Ronaldo."

then.

in Spain.

Many media outlets mocked Yalding for his shameless talk and lies.

but now.

No one could refute his words.

Sunshine may not be as good as Messi or Ronaldo in some skills.

But he can score goals.

As a center forward.

that's enough.

Can score a goal!
After years of pursuing various "tactical centers".

World football seems to have returned to the essential requirements for center forwards.

A center forward who can score goals can now be described in one word: expensive!

In the 25th round of the league, Liverpool beat Huddersfield - away.

The opponent is not strong.

Before the game, many media were predicting how many goals the Sunshine could score in this game.

But in fact, Liverpool encountered stubborn resistance from their opponents away from home.

In the end, Sunshine scored a goal with a direct free kick, defeated the opponent and brought back a victory away from home.

Manchester City fans were happy for 90 minutes, but in the end they could only watch Liverpool take away the victory.

And Yang Guang also raised his goal tally to 32 goals.

There are only two goals left to break Alan Shearer's record.

This isn't anything particularly exciting.

But what a coincidence.

Liverpool's opponent in the 26th round of the league is Newcastle - the team where record holder Alan Shearer played for 10 years.

Of course.

When Alan Shearer set that record, he was playing for Blackburn.

But Blackburn, who won the Premier League title that year, is now playing in the English League One, which is the third-tier league in England.

It is impossible for Liverpool to meet Blackburn in the league.

and so.

The English media had no choice but to point the finger at Newcastle United.

Hype up news like "Breaking Alan Shearer's record against Alan Shearer's old club".

Although this season, it is no longer a suspense that Sunshine will break the record.

But breaking the record against a certain team can allow the media to find different gimmicks.

Breaking the record by playing against Newcastle is obviously a bigger gimmick.

The media?

So, when Sunshine was two balls away from the record and three balls away from breaking the record,

The English media started shouting all over the world.

“Can Sunshine break Alan Shearer’s record against Newcastle?”

"Alan Shearer is a Newcastle legend. If Sunshine can break the record in this game, it will mean a lot!"

This looks ahead to the significance of Sunshine's record-breaking performance against Alan Shearer's old club.

The media over there started to fan the flames.

"If Sunshine is going to break the record, he has to score three goals against Newcastle"

"No matter what, Newcastle should defend the team legend Alan Shearer and not let Yang break the record by stepping on Newcastle!"

With the media fanning the flames on both sides.

Even people within Liverpool started discussing whether Sunshine could break the record in this game.

"Tsk tsk, why do I feel like there's a conspiracy going on here?"

Mane was reading the newspaper very seriously.

"You guessed it, the English media is so shameless. They dare to say anything for the sake of publicity." Henderson shrugged.

"Actually, this is normal, since our next opponent is Newcastle," Arnold said, shaking his head.

Van Dyke looked at Yang Guang: "Yang, what do you think?"

"What do I feel?" Yangguang was stunned.

"Records, breaking records...Aren't you excited at all?" asked Van Dijk.

Van Dijk's dream back then was to become a top center forward.

Now he's a central defender.
But he thought about it and realized that if he had the chance to break the Premier League single-season goal record, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

No one can be as calm as the sunshine.

Sunshine thought about it seriously, and then said, "You're right, Virgil, I should get excited."

Van Dyke rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I declare. The next game will be a record-breaking one!"

Seeing that everyone was discussing this matter, Yangguang simply stepped forward to make the final decision, ending the suspense!

Liverpool players have no doubt about Sunshine's determination.

He announced ahead of time that he was going to score a hat trick.

Is it strange?

if you can.

Newcastle United head coach Benítez would rather the media not direct public opinion towards Newcastle.

But he obviously didn't expect it.

The English media are so shameless in their pursuit of sensational stories.

"What the hell! What about defending Alan Shearer's record! This has nothing to do with us!"

Benítez was so angry that the last few strands of his hair were about to fall off.

He has a very good relationship with Liverpool Football Club.

Liverpool won its fifth Champions League trophy under his leadership.

Benitez led a brief revival for Liverpool, which saw them come close to winning the Premier League title.

In the Champions League, they also reached the final for two consecutive seasons.

Liverpool, with Gerrard and Alonso as the core, really gave the Reds fans hope that year.

therefore.

Even though many fans of the team don't like Benítez.

But when Benítez arrives at Anfield, he will definitely receive applause.

And Benítez has also studied sunlight.

He knew that this Chinese man was a show-off.

The media are now hyping it up.

have to.

Newcastle's defence is certainly in danger.

Regardless of whether Sunshine can break the record.

He will definitely be very excited for this game.

This is not a good thing for Newcastle.

When being interviewed by the media.

Benítez praised Sunshine's performance and believed that Liverpool has a great chance of winning the league title this season.

Facing reporters' questions about the "Premier League single-season goal record".

Benítez just laughed it off and dealt with it casually.

He wanted to cool down the situation a bit.

But it turns out.

Benitez failed to do that.

Some tabloids even directly said "Benitez has no confidence in stopping the sun".

These newspaper headlines made Benítez want to curse.

Benítez had wanted to keep a low profile.

But after being hyped up by the media, it's hard to keep a low profile.
Moreover, they have all been roasted by the media.

It would be unreasonable for Newcastle not to respond to this matter.

"Yang is a very good player with a great goal-scoring ability. We will be very careful with him. We will fight for ourselves and we don't want to be a supporting role. We cannot accept the idea of setting a record for Newcastle. We will do our best to stop him. We will not only beat Liverpool, but also Yang!"

The captain of Newcastle United is the 24-year-old English central defender Jamal Lascelles.

Last season, when Newcastle was playing in the Championship, Russells was promoted by Benítez and wore the team's captain's armband.

Promoted to the Premier League this season.

The captain's armband of Newcastle United is still worn on the arm of the central defender who helped the team get promoted from the Championship to the Premier League.

He is also a key player in Newcastle's defence.

Many teams will replace part of their starting lineup after being promoted to the Super League.

But Newcastle didn't do that.

They still basically retained the main framework of last season in the Championship - in fact, many teams that have worked their way up to the Championship in recent years have mostly chosen to do so.

In fact, it is a team that can compete for the Championship.

The lineup is well-matched.

They can also stay in the Premier League.

The revenue of the teams in the English Championship is actually quite considerable - there are different opinions on which is the strongest top league in the world, but when it comes to the strongest second-tier league in the world, most people will vote for the English Championship.

In the Championship.

Many teams aiming to be promoted to the Premier League will not hesitate to invest in the transfer market.

Many teams in the English Championship have players worth 20 or 30 million. It is quite rare for such high values to play in the second-tier league in other countries, but it is commonplace in the English Championship.

For example, the English central defender who made such a tough statement at the pre-match press conference, his market value on the German transfer market website was as high as 15 million last season when Newcastle was still playing in the Championship.

After the data was updated this season, it reached 18 million.

If nothing unexpected happens, wait for the next update of player value data in the German transfer market.

His net worth could reach 20 million!

This is of course due to the bonus of the "England Household Registration Book".

But the higher the net worth, the stronger the strength, so this rule still works.

In this game.

Russells certainly has to fight against the sun.

But everyone thinks.

Even though Russells was named "the best central defender in the Championship in the 2016-2017 season", he is not at the same level as Sunshine.

Sunshine is the Ballon d'Or winner, last season's Champions League champion, last season's Champions League best player, last season's Champions League top scorer, and last season's European Golden Boot winner.
Russells, what can you do to compete with the sun?
