At present, the national football team is training in Shanghai, Shandong Luneng's left-back Liu Yang has once again missed the opportunity, since the brief glory of the Uae Asian Cup in early 2019, Liu Yang has fewer and fewer opportunities to enter the national football team. It is worth mentioning that in the early days of the professional league, Taishan's first generation of left-back Liu Yue entered the national football team at the age of 20, and also played as the main player in the 1996 Asian Cup, but because of his mistakes, he was scolded by the big man Fan Zhiyi and has since failed to qualify for the national team.
Liu Yue, born on July 12, 1975 in Jinan, Shandong, is a 175cm tall man who plays as a left-back. Liu Yue was fast, good at foot skills, and explosive, and was one of the few players in the Taishan team at that time to play football with his brain. And at that time, Liu Yue was wearing the No. 9 battle robe that symbolized the center forward.
Liu Yue's father was Liu Xuchang, a meritorious coach in the Chinese race walking project, so Liu Yue grew up in the Shandong Provincial Sports Team compound on East Wenhua Road in Jinan. In his childhood, Liu Yue and his friends went to the venues of various sports to watch the athletes train in their spare time, and the worst neighbors around them were provincial champions, and there were not a few national champions and world champions. In such an environment, Liu Yue naturally cultivated a sense of worship for sports and honor. So, in such an environment and inspired by example, Liu Yue embarked on the road of football. Under the careful cultivation of Yin Tiesheng, Liu Yue quickly stood out and successively grew up in the national youth team and the national youth team.
In 1994, Chinese football underwent a professional reform, ushering in the A-A era, and 18-year-old Liu Yue entered the Taishan team's first team list. In the 6th round of the first year of A, Jinan Taishan General away to Dalian Wanda, Liu Yue came off the bench to usher in his career debut, he assisted Su Maozhen in the bottom cross after the breakthrough on the side, although the team lost 1-3, but the young player Liu Yue's play was eye-catching. This time, Liu Yue became the main left-back of the Taishan team at that time, making 17 appearances in 22 league rounds, while that year, Li Xiaopeng only made one appearance, and he was still a marginal player.
In 1995, Liu Yue became an indispensable player for the Taishan team, making 21 appearances in 22 league rounds and contributing 1 goal. Especially in the FA Cup match that season, Liu Yue, as the absolute main force, passed the hurdle with his teammates and met the final with Shanghai Shenhua Division. In the final, Shenhua sent the main force to play, but no matter how Xie Hui, Fan Zhiyi (who changed to playing forward that season), Shen Si, Qi Hong and other offensive adepts tried, they had no choice but to form a steel defense line composed of Liu Yue, Li Ming, Yu Yuanwei, Wu Gang and others, and finally Taishan defeated Shenhua 2-0 and won the team's first professional league championship.
It was precisely because of Liu Yue's brave performance that he was selected by Qi Wusheng, who was the manager of the national Olympic team at the time, and trained him to take on the core responsibility of the national Olympic team's defense. After the national Olympic games were out, Qi Wusheng brought Liu Yue to the national team, which also made the 20-year-old boy the second international of the Taishan team after Su Maozhen. However, due to his youth and lack of experience, Liu Yue made several mistakes when representing the national football team in the Asian Cup. In the 96 Asian Cup opening Officia Singoku football 0-2 loss to Uzbekistan, Liu Yue represented the national football team as the left-back, because it was the first time to represent the national football team in the official competition, Liu Yue appeared a little nervous, in the 80th minute back to defend actually collided with the center-back Fan Zhiyi, was taken advantage of by the opponent to hang the goal. In the quarter-final with saudi Arabia, Liu Yue also played very poorly, becoming the opponent's key attack target, and finally the national football team was reversed to 3-4 in the case of a two-goal lead, Liu Yue was scolded by Fan Zhiyi on the field, and he was also criticized by many media after the game, and he bid farewell to the national team at the age of 21.
However, after returning to Taishan, Liu Yue did not falter because of this, and in the three seasons of 196-1998, he was the main left-back of Taishan, contributing 2 goals in 57 appearances. In the 1999 season, Santraci took charge of Luneng. At first, Liu Yue was quite valued, but Liu Yue accidentally fractured his bones in the warm-up match, and Santracci used Wang Chao to play the main left defender, the right defender was Hao Wei, and the center back was partnered by Li Ming and Shu Chang. By the time Liu Yue returned from injury, the team's lineup was basically stable, and Santracci did not want to adjust the lineup under the condition of a stable record, so Liu Yue gradually became a marginal player of the team throughout the 99 season, and only got 2 appearances.
During the 1999 season, Liu Yue contacted Aachen in the Bundesliga through Schlapner, and he and Deng Lejun, who were also abandoned by Santracci, went to trial training, and the other side thought they were good and prepared to sign with them. However, the Luneng club never had contact with the Aachen side, resulting in them ultimately having no chance to stay in Germany. This incident hurt Liu Yue a lot, and he had plans to leave Luneng. And the fans often shouted Liu Yue's name in the game that season, hoping that Santracci would let him play, which also made Sonny very dissatisfied, thinking that Liu Yue was inciting the fans to put pressure on him, and the relationship between master and apprentice began to be tense from then on. Later, Luneng won the double title that season, Andrange stayed in office, and given that the mentor-apprentice relationship was already very rigid, Liu Yue made up his mind to leave.
In 2000, Liu Yue joined the Jia A promotion ma Yunnan Hongta and defected to his mentor Qi Wusheng. In the season's A-League opener, Liu Yue started the battle to face his old club, and led the team to overthrow the defending champion Luneng 1-0, known in history as "Little Alto knocked over big Audi". In the final moments of the game, Luneng bombarded indiscriminately to try to equalize, but Liu Yue defused the danger again and again, saved the 1-0 victory for the Red Tower team, and avenged the old owner in a special way. During his four years at Yunnan Hongta, Liu Yue was the absolute main force of the team, contributing 6 goals in 89 appearances. More importantly, every time Liu Yue met Luneng, he played very well, making Shandong fans love and hate.
After the end of the last year of A and A in 2003, Hongta Group suddenly announced its withdrawal from Chinese football. The Yunnan Red Tower Club was acquired by Chongqing businessman Yin Mingshan and merged with the relegated Chongqing Lifan, and Liu Yue also joined Chongqing Lifan with the team. But in the 2004 season, he had few injuries before and had undergone two surgeries. The first surgery was the removal of the bone spur in March and the recovery was not bad. The second operation was in a warm-up match with the second team, Liu Yue collided with the second team goalkeeper and was injured, diagnosed with a ruptured joint capsule, and was delayed by the doctor, stayed in the hospital for 52 days, and had to rest for three months, which would cause him to fail the physical fitness test before the 2005 league. To this end, Liu Yue made the decision to retire and simply recuperate from his injuries.
After retiring from the military, Liu Yue went to university to pursue an undergraduate degree and made his home in Shanghai. By chance, he accepted the invitation of Shanghai Television station and became a football commentator of Five Star Sports. Since then, Liu Yue has boarded a new platform. Nowadays, Liu Yue is the master of PPTV, whether it is the Chinese Super League, the Premier League or the Bundesliga, his rich knowledge accumulation and the unique professionalism of the former professional players are impressive.
