Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 1044

After four rounds, Manchester City scored 12 points for all victories, and Liverpool scored 3 points for 10 wins and 7 draw. This is the top two in the standings. Behind Liverpool is Arsenal, who scored [-] points.

Manchester City is always winning, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Zhang Yuan. He complained: "Why are they always winning!"

"Look at it! You can't hold your breath just now?!" Digan laughed.

It is said that Liverpool did not achieve much last season, and Zhang Yuanxin is already a little anxious now. He still thinks that the team played pretty well, but it still falls behind Manchester City.

"Don't worry, they will always lose, as long as we do our best!" Degan patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder like a big brother, don't worry.

Once this round of competition is over, it's time for Liverpool players to participate in the national team match day.

The first game back home was against Hong Kong, China. The strength of Hong Kong, China, is a strong team in Asia. After Zhang Yuan returned to China, he participated in training. During the period, some things happened, not Zhang Yuan’s business. It was someone else, a striker who partnered with Zhang Yuan in the national football team, and his strength was not bad, but for some reason, he had a bad relationship with Pei Lan.

Zhang Yuan asked his partner what happened later. It turned out that Perrin questioned his attitude in the game, thinking that the striker had lost his standard in the national team game, and that his performance in the national team was not as good as in the club.

As a result, when playing against the underdog Hong Kong, Perrin made a temporary change and let Zhang Yuan play as a lone striker, and strictly restricted Zhang Yuan's tactical role. He hoped that there would be a point in the penalty area.

But the result is that the point is there, but there is no ball for Zhang Yuan. Coupled with the long-distance travel, Zhang Yuan's performance in this game is also a bit sluggish. He failed to seize the only two opportunities, which led to the Chinese team being defeated by China at home. Hong Kong draw!

It is said that after Peilan won the Asian Cup, his momentum really rose. After the game, he criticized the attitude of the players, thinking that the players were not aggressive in this game. After hearing this, Zhang Yuan was very unhappy.

Perrin's request for him is not to support the center position, but to stand in the penalty area and receive passes from his teammates. But what is the passing level of the Chinese team? !Facing the shrunken Hong Kong, China, the poor-quality passing in the past had no effect at all, and Zhang Yuan also fell into the vast ocean surrounded by the enemy!
No wonder a Hong Kong player said after the game: "Zhang Yuan is nothing more than that, we defended him to death!"

These words also made Zhang Yuan's teeth itch with hatred!

Perrin's current status is very important in the eyes of the Football Association and fans. Everyone thinks that he has two brushes. Now he is what he says. After the Asian Cup, he detested the forgiven residence and asked the Football Association to change to a better one. , The Football Association will do it. Now when they criticize their players after the game, Zhang Yuan and the others have to swallow their anger. At least in Zhang Yuan’s opinion, his tactics are problematic. Why do you put 451 against the underdogs? Why not stick to two centers and leave Lao Tzu alone!

Next, the Chinese team played the Maldives in Shenyang on September 9.

The Maldives is a very strange team. The game played in Shenyang is not the home court of the Chinese team but the home court of the Maldives. It is indeed too rare to use the opponent's home court as the home court, and it is usually arranged in a third-party game. venue.

When Zhang Yuan was at Juventus, Cagliari's home court was a wonderful thing. They moved from Sardinia to northeastern Italy, allowing the home fans to travel more than the away fans!

The Maldives gave up their home court this time as a last resort. Their football situation is relatively poor. After all, the country is small and the people are weak, and the national team can only be called a semi-professional team. The AFC requires very few venues for the home court. The original home venue for the World Preliminaries
It was just because the Maldives celebrated the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country some time ago, and the founding ceremony happened to be held at the home stadium of the country's World Cup preliminaries. As you can imagine, the event caused serious damage to the turf of the stadium.After the AFC conducted an on-site inspection afterwards, it believed that the current situation of the Maldives' home turf could not meet the needs of the World Cup preliminaries.Therefore, the Maldives had no choice but to ask the Chinese Football Association to switch their home court.

Faced with such a request, the Chinese Football Association did not agree.The reason is that in addition to the fact that the Chinese team's home bidding for the World Preliminaries has already ended, more importantly, once the home and away games are switched, it will make the Chinese team's subsequent World Preliminaries schedule even worse.For this reason, the Maldives had no choice but to use the second trick, announcing that they would give up their home court, and put the China-Malaysia battle in a third-party competition venue. As a result, this trick still didn’t work, and in the end, the Maldives, who broke the pot and fell, simply followed China negotiated and moved its home court to Shenyang.

It's not too late to hand over the home court. The wonderful Maldives temporarily changed the lineup and recruited four goalkeepers, but gave up the two main central defenders.

From this point of view, the Maldives is quite a bit of a good man to the end, the spirit of sending Buddha to the West!

Even though there are signs of conflict between the generals within the Chinese team, facing the Maldives who are giving such points, how can they not take all three points? With the same tactics, the weak defense of the Maldives can't stop Zhang Yuan, a lone striker. In this game, Zhang Yuan kicked his head alone and scored 5 goals, helping the Chinese team beat the Maldives 7-0.

After three rounds, the Chinese team only scored 7 points in the standings due to a tie with Hong Kong, China. This situation is not very ideal. Not only is there a point gap with Qatar, but Hong Kong, China is also behind the Chinese team. Same.

But the domestic media and fans are still very optimistic. After all, the Chinese team has not yet directly competed with Qatar. Everyone is very confident to kill Qatar and then ascend to the number one throne. subsided.

Returning to Liverpool from China, Zhang Yuan devoted himself to the preparations against Manchester United. The upcoming Double Red will be another challenge to Liverpool. After the national team match day, it will undoubtedly be painful for the big clubs. Everyone They have contributed a lot to the national football team, and there is no doubt that they are physically and mentally exhausted. After such a game, Liverpool will still play in the Champions League, and it is still an away game against Dinamo Zagreb. Could herald the start of a season-long meltdown.

Of course, Manchester United's current state is not particularly good. Their offense has always been a problem. Ups and downs, they killed Tottenham in the first round, and beat Villa in the second round, but they suffered two winless games in the third round, and the opponents were not the kind of relegation teams. They drew with Newcastle and lost to Swan West, at present Van Gaal has been criticized by many people. It is said that staying in the handsome position of Manchester United is a role that is roasted on fire.

In the season that Ferguson left, Manchester United won the championship. People had high expectations for them. Moyes and Van Gaal failed to make Manchester United progress, and of course they will suffer quite strong criticism.

Manchester United is not like Liverpool at all. Liverpool has not had a championship for a long time, and its strength on paper is not as good as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United. The criticism Rodgers has suffered is far less violent than Moyes and Van Gaal. Many media say that Rodgers is responsible for Liverpool's poor performance. The real reason is that the team's injuries have affected Liverpool's record.

In short, Van Gaal's coaching position is a bit difficult to sit in. When this double red meeting is coming, Van Gaal definitely hopes to use this game to make a comeback. Last season they swept Liverpool at home. This season Why can't it be done? !

Winning Liverpool, Van Gaal's team may go down the road!

Of course, Klopp wants to win more. Manchester City started very strongly. Klopp does not want his team to be pulled down too much by Manchester City, so he must show something. Moreover, in the first five rounds of this season, Liverpool will face Two old-fashioned tyrants, one is Arsenal, which has already played, Liverpool did not perform very well, and the other is Manchester United. Klopp hopes that Liverpool can improve in this game.
