Chapter 1037 A Good Start ([-])

"Oh, he is a surprise, at least so far in the Community Shield and this game, he has given us a surprise! I have to say that perhaps the most dazzling person in Liverpool this season may not be Zhang Yuan, but Kanter!" Carragher also praised.

At the moment of their exchange, Kanter returned to the defense and kicked Afeilai's ball out of the sideline. Afeilai looked a little unhappy!
In this way, Liverpool killed a counterattack from Stoke City!
Zhang Yuan said that he was not good at defending, which was a kind of demonstration to Klopp, but how could he really not return to defense at all during the game, and he still had to return to defense when it was time to return to defense!
As the captain, he had to accept this responsibility, and he didn't forget to remind his teammates when returning to defense!
"Zhang Yuan has become more and more a leader in this Liverpool team. I believe he will be a good captain!" Henry praised Zhang Yuan's actions. He used to be the captain of Arsenal and a captain who was born as a striker.

Carragher didn't answer the question. He is a local player in England. He is not very interested in foreign players being the captain, but in his heart he has to admit that Zhang Yuan is qualified to be the captain. Henderson? !He looks a bit mediocre!
Henderson is indeed mediocre. In this game, Klopp used him instead of Lallana, Joe Allen or Alli because of safety. After all, Henderson's defensive ability and tactical discipline are better than the others. Klopp needs a good start in the first game of the new season!

But Henderson himself is indeed a bit mediocre. Passing the ball in the midfield position is quite satisfactory. With the help of Emre Can and Kanter behind him, his defensive characteristics have not been reflected very well!

In the 76th minute of the game, Henderson, who performed quite well, was replaced by Ali, and Milner also replaced Coutinho as a winger.

Milner is actually not very old now, but Manchester City's strategy is to buy, buy, buy, and gradually he can't play in Manchester City. When Liverpool showed interest in him, he followed without hesitation. He is also a local player in England. Liverpool is no worse than Manchester City in his mind. Anyway, this is a club with a glorious history, and when Liverpool approached him, it also showed that we are a team with great goals.

Milner is not what Klopp asked for by name, but a recommendation from the transfer department of Liverpool to Klopp. Klopp has a tacit attitude towards the introduction of him. From the bottom of his heart, Klopp agrees with this deal very much. Yes, Milner's versatility impressed him. This guy can play in almost all positions except central defender. For Klopp, this is really a very good signing.

This is the first time for Milner to represent Liverpool in the league. He has a very positive attitude after playing. He also knows that it is difficult for him to compete for the front position, but man, don’t be afraid of competition. Luo Pu left an impression "You still have me!"

Milner's style is different from Coutinho's. He has rich experience and passes the ball better. His breakthrough seems to be worse with age, but this is enough!
In the 83rd minute, Milner and Alli played a beautiful cooperation. After crossing, Firmino turned around and shot after getting the ball, which was blocked by Bartram. Alli followed up and ejected, sending the ball into the gate of Stoke again , Liverpool scored 3:0 in the away game.

This score already means that Stoke City is doomed to fail!
Later, Firmino was replaced by Sturridge, but Liverpool's tactics have changed and they did not attack aggressively, so Sturridge played very depressed. In ten minutes, he didn't have a single chance to shoot!

He looked a little unhappy when the game was over!
Zhang Yuan saw his expression, so when everyone was celebrating after the game, Zhang Yuan hugged him and said to Sturridge: "Daniel, there is an old saying in China that gold always shines. I believe you are still An important player in Mr Klopp's hands!"

Sturridge forced a smile and said nothing!

The first game of the new season got off to a good start. Liverpool were very happy. They scored 3 goals and did not concede a goal. What a wonderful start. Zhang Yuan took the Liverpool players to the away team stand to thank the Liverpool fans who came to the away game .

Many fans clamored for fans. Zhang Yuan happened to not exchange jerseys with the other party today, so he gave his jersey to a young fan who was watching the game in the first row, and even kissed the little guy!
The little fans were overjoyed, and his parents beside him were also smiling. It was a very lucky thing to get Zhang Yuan's game jersey.

In the interview area after the game, the reporters also invited Zhang Yuan to conduct a simple interview, and Zhang Yuan readily agreed.

"We performed very well in this game. At the beginning, they caused us some troubles, but soon we took the initiative on the field and I think we deserved the victory!"

"Zhang, what do you think of your own performance? In the new position, what do you think is different!"

"I performed very well today! I gave my best on the court! As for my position, yes, it is different from last season. I have more possessions. This requires me to think calmly and deal with each situation. Ball! Last season I played a lot more casually, this season requires me to think more!"

"In this position, you are far away from the goal, and you only took 3 shots in this game! What do you think of this?!" The reporter quickly asked again.

"I don't think staying away from the goal has any effect on me. I also have many opportunities to go into the penalty area! The number of shots is not an important statistic. Don't forget that I scored a goal today!" Zhang Yuan perfunctory Said.

Regarding the number of shots, Zhang Yuan does not think this is a problem. In fact, Klopp did not say that he would limit his right to fire. The problem is that the responsibility is different now, and he cannot rely on himself to solve it every time. question.

This is a very simple matter, he got too many shooting opportunities, thinking that the players in the frontcourt had to revolve around him!

It was like this in Real Madrid back then. The striker was simply a decoration for Ronaldo. Zhang Yuan sometimes had to do the same. Now that he is in Liverpool, Zhang Yuan doesn’t want to be so selfish. According to Klopp, he needs to bring Liverpool’s offense to the fore. Come to think of it, Zhang Yuan also thinks the same way now, he hopes that Liverpool players can improve, gain something, and blossom more!
Barcelona and Bayern have done better in this regard. It is not just a matter of one or two people who score goals. Many people can score goals, so that the opponent has no way to defend.

And in the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Henry was also discussing this issue with Carragher. It was only after the game was over that he got the data, and Henry remembered that Zhang Yuan's shots in this game were less than last season. In the games he participated in, he took an average of 6.7 shots per game. In a few games, he personally shot more than 10 shots, but this game only had 3 shots, which is problematic.

"Maybe Zhang Yuan's role is different this season, and the number of goals may decrease compared to last season!" Henry analyzed that the number of shots is not the determining factor for how many goals can be scored, but how can a goal be scored without shots.

Only three times in exchange for a goal, Zhang Yuan's ability to seize opportunities in this game is already relatively good, but will he be so good in the next game? I'm afraid it may not be so!

"I don't think it's a problem! Zhang Yuan has an excellent ability to seize opportunities. The lack of shots in this game is just an exception, or if it is not an exception, I think Klopp will also ask for more shots! And he even scored goals. Not as much as last season, but if it can be exchanged for Liverpool's smooth attack and victory, I think it is acceptable!" Carragher does not agree with Henry's statement, he is more for the team.

In an interview after the game, a reporter also asked whether Klopp restricted Zhang Yuan's shot, and Klopp replied generously: "No, no! I will not restrict players on the court. Our choice, I think Zhang Yuan has his reasons for choosing to shoot or not to shoot! If he thinks there is a chance, he can shoot, it’s nothing!"
