On May 5th, Liverpool ushered in their opponents in the penultimate round of the league at home, Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace has successfully relegated this season. Currently, they have accumulated 17 points and are ranked in the middle. For this game, they are basically in the middle position. A state of no desire and no desire, this kind of team generally develops in two directions. If you play relaxed without desire and no desire, you may play a good state. On the other hand, it may be that you are really too relaxed mentally. On the contrary, it is not good.

What this team brought to Liverpool this season are deep memories. In the first half, Liverpool suffered a defeat at home to Crystal Palace. That time Zhang Yuan did not appear on the court due to injury, but this time he played .

Crystal Palace seems to be specifically against Liverpool. They had nothing to desire but they showed a good state in this game and caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool. It seems that the head coach of Crystal Palace, Alan Pardew, is very serious Treat this game up.

Many media now say that Liverpool with Zhang Yuan is different from without Zhang Yuan. This is true. Liverpool with Zhang Yuan is completely different from the first half of the season. Take the initiative on the field.

Although the goal came a bit late, it finally came. In the 86th minute, Zhang Yuan assisted Sturridge to open the scoring account again. Liverpool also beat Crystal Palace with this goal. The league points have reached 74 points , Another game held at the same time is also great news for Liverpool. The battle between Arsenal and Manchester United ended in a draw, so that Liverpool can surpass Arsenal and come to third place in the standings.

Such news is of course worthy of excitement for the Liverpool players. After the game, Zhang Yuan treats guests, and everyone goes to Zhang Yuan's restaurant for dinner.

"Seriously, this is my first time eating here!" Sturridge walked with Zhang Yuan.

"Daniel, you are doing it wrong. You should come here often. Not only do you have to come often, but you also have to bring all your seven aunts and eight aunts to solicit more business for me!" Zhang Yuan laughed haha Said.

"Hey, hey, make it clear, the first time I came because you didn't invite me until now! You invited me too late! You can't be so stingy as a boss!" Sturridge retorted with a smile.

He has been proud of horseshoe disease recently. Under Klopp, he returned from injury. Sterling killed himself. Now Klopp is gradually using him. He and Zhang Yuan have a good understanding. Klopp can change formation at any time , can be used as a double center tactic or a three striker tactic. Sturridge is the key piece in this transformation. He also has shortcomings, but he also has many advantages. He can form a better complement to Zhang Yuan and give Zhang Yuan Far well protected.

The successive victories have brought a lot of laughter to the Liverpool players. No one wants to play in the Champions League play-offs. How tiring it is to win.

Zhang Yuan especially doesn’t want to, he is now analyzing next season, this summer Klopp will get a complete preparation period, and there is no arrangement for the national team’s Intercontinental Cup, the team can do better in terms of physical reserve and tactical running-in .

"Next season will be a season to show off your ambitions!" Zhang Yuan thinks so, and he guesses that Klopp thinks so too.

On May 5th, Liverpool's season finale was held at the Bet24 Stadium, which is the home ground of Stoke City. Under the leadership of Mark Hughes, Stoke City has achieved good results this season, and at one time it was heading towards Europe. The hope of the theater, but their state has been mediocre recently, with only 365 victories in 10 Premier League games, 3 draws, and 3 losses.

Stoke City in such a state naturally did not cause too much trouble for Liverpool. In the 9th minute, Liverpool took the lead. Sturridge sent a through ball from the front of the penalty area. Liverpool scored a goal firmly first.

This was the case in the first half of the game. In the second half, Gerrard came on as a substitute for Ali. He scored a goal after only 40 seconds on the field. In the 65th minute, Zhang Yuan took a free kick that accurately found Gerrard's spot. Gerrard Germany headed past Bolton's goal.

With one goal each in the first and second half, Liverpool won the Stoke City home game without bloodshed, and the points reached 77 points. At the end of the season, Liverpool ranked third with 77 points behind Chelsea and Manchester City. Champions League tickets.

Originally, according to the quality of the Red Army's runner-up last season, Zhang Yuan never imagined that it would be so difficult to get an admission ticket. In the second half, Liverpool was a point-grabbing madman, and there were also losses during the period, but the points he got were among all the Premier League teams. The highest and the most amazing thing is that Klopp actually used this lineup to fight in the third line. The Champions League reached the quarterfinals, and the FA Cup also entered the final. The league also qualified for the Champions League in a thrilling way. Not too much, if it weren't for Manchester United and Arsenal to lose the chain, the top four would not be so easy to fight for.

"I'm happy with the season, we had a lot of difficulties, the team wasn't at their best, I'm happy to be third! Biggest credit?! No, I'm not, I think Mr Klopp's Arrival has changed many things, he has brought us a difference, I think he is the biggest contributor to our current results!" Zhang Yuan commented on Klopp's great achievements in an interview with reporters after the game.

Klopp is qualified to receive such an award. In fact, he is still an old player in the old lineup. During the winter break, he only introduced Dele Alli. However, Ali was not the main player in the second half, and he mostly played as a substitute. , Only recently began to appear frequently in the starting lineup, so it is not easy for Klopp.

Of course, he also had good luck and bad luck. Fortunately, Degan, the core of Liverpool's defense, came back in the second half and maintained a good state. Liverpool's defensive level seemed to be raised immediately. Zhang Yuan was injured when he shouldn't have been injured, causing Liverpool to suffer a big defeat at the Allianz Arena, regrettably being eliminated from the Champions League.

"Now that the league is over, I am satisfied with my work. We have achieved the important Champions League qualification. If we do not achieve this goal, then it will be a complete failure for us! But the season is not over yet, we still have a long way to go. An important event is waiting for us! I hope we can win the final championship and end this season successfully!" Klopp also raised his expectations after the game, winning the FA Cup.

Of course, this championship is not only important to Liverpool, but also to Arsenal. Like Liverpool, they have qualified for the Champions League, but they have no league title. The FA Cup has become the only honor they can strive for.

After the closing game, Zhang Yuan also won the title of the best player of the month for the first time, Klopp won the title of the best coach of the month, but Klopp won the title of the best coach of the month for two months. The first time he came was now, but it was the first time for Zhang Yuan. Although he scored many goals, he was not very lucky. He was not there in January when Liverpool scored the most points. After that, Liverpool always lost. , As a result, he was also affected by this selection. Until May, Liverpool finally felt proud. He participated in all the games, scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists, helping the team win all the games.

When a reporter from the Premier League official website interviewed him, he also joked: "I think this award has been around for a long time, and you didn't bring it to us until now!"

The best of the month is determined by public votes and expert votes. Expert votes are very important and strict. Goals are an important factor, but the most important thing is how high you help the team reach. For example, Zhang Yuan this month There are not many goals, not as many as last month, but the help to the team is indeed obvious. Liverpool won four games, and with these victories they surpassed Manchester United and Arsenal and qualified for the Champions League.
