Chapter 1087 Going into battle with injuries
In this point of view, there is an essential difference between Klopp's and Zhang Yuan's views. Does Klopp not pay attention to defense? !Pay attention, but more emphasis on offense, he always believes that as long as we can ensure one more score, we will win.

Zhang Yuan hopes that the team's offense will be built on the basis of defense. What kind of head coaches Zhang Yuan has experienced in his career for so many years, Slomka, Magath, Rutten, Mourinho, Conte, Mancini, in fact, most of these coaches are coaches who put defense first. Under their influence for a long time, it is not surprising that Zhang Yuan suddenly runs counter to Klopp's ideas of.

Klopp did not persuade Zhang Yuan to accept the reality, but Zhang Yuan did not continue to argue, he can understand Klopp's thinking, will he succeed? !Zhang Yuan doesn't have much confidence, but he has to carry on because Klopp is the head coach.

Klopp did not let Zhang Yuan continue to start the game because he wanted to give Zhang Yuan time to rest, but in the end he did. The FA Cup match against Manchester United on the weekend was the main reason for his interest.

Manchester United is not in the top four. They want to compete for the top four places. There are still 9 rounds in the league. It should be said that there are still opportunities. The results of Van Gaal's leadership are not good. Manchester United spent a lot of money under his leadership. But the results are still not coming out, and the handsome old man is also more stubborn. Looking at the scenes of each game, Manchester United's scenes are not ugly. The only problem is that there are too few shots. There are many forwards under him, but basically they are all defeated This is the main reason for Manchester United's poor performance.

Now there are many calls for him to dismiss get out of class. This FA Cup game is very critical for him. If he can't win Liverpool, he is very likely to dismiss get out of class, so he issued a kill order at the press conference before the game.

"Liverpool have played very well this season, they played very well, but we all know the significance of this game, we need to advance, no matter who the opponent is, I hope it will be us!"

In this game, Van Gaal was able to use everything he sent. It is worth mentioning that he felt that the old players were disobedient. Van Gaal boldly used many young players in the game. appeared in the first episode.

This game was very hard, to what extent, Zhang Yuan was injured in the end. He injured his ankle in the fight with Carrick, and he had some pain. Compared with the importance of this game, Zhang Yuan didn’t think this The game is more important than the second round with Juventus a few days later, so he took the initiative to apply for the end.

Zhang Yuan’s actions made Klopp feel tighter. Persisting on all fronts means taking risks. Taking all kinds of risks may be due to personal injury or fatigue leading to a decline in his state. The last thing he wants to see Zhang Yuan was injured.

After Zhang Yuan left the field, Klopp didn't even care much about the situation on the field, but instead pulled Zhang Yuan from the sidelines to ask him about his situation.

"I don't know, I just have some pain in my ankle, I hope it's not a big problem!"

This game was indeed difficult, until the stoppage time of the game, Liverpool relied on a corner kick, Lovren scored with a header, helping Liverpool eliminate Manchester United and successfully advance to the next round.

In the previous game, Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0. According to the competition system, Liverpool's opponent in the semi-finals is Everton, the rival of the same city. This is destined to be another very exhausting game.

However, Klopp did not lie in Derby in the post-match press conference, "Our goal is to win the FA Cup! Whether the opponent is Everton or other teams, it is a very difficult test for us , we need to overcome difficulties, and everyone in the team is gritting their teeth and persevering!"

Zhang Yuan's injury was not serious. The team doctor told Zhang Yuan that he was fine. He just rested for a few days and applied cold compresses to eliminate the swelling.

How can Klopp wait for him to rest for a few days, including Zhang Yuan himself, who doesn’t want to rest. There is only one way to not rest. On the closed needle, against Juventus at home, he must be on.

"Are you injured?!" Khedira asked Zhang Yuan after seeing the news in the newspaper.

"That's right, could it be fake!" Zhang Yuan said angrily.

"I heard it's an ankle, isn't it a big problem?!"

"No, just rest for a few days..."

"Hey, hey..., buddy, can I understand that you can't get us by kicking us?!" This is probably Khedira's purpose, to inquire about the situation!
mock up!

"I'm afraid that's the case! There's a high possibility that I won't be able to catch up with the game! Can you stop being so shameless, why don't you care about me, but whether I can play?!" Zhang Yuan scolded.

"Who said I don't care! I care about you very much. You see, I know the news, and I will call you to express my condolences right away! Buddy, take care of your injuries, don't worry! Well, I have to tell you that you must Rest well and wait for your body to fully recover, you know I was injured a lot when I was in Real Madrid, because I was too anxious! So, you can’t rush now! Don’t worry too much about the game! Understand?!”

Zhang Yuan really didn't know whether Khedira really cared or tried to persuade himself not to forcefully play, but Zhang Yuan knew very well that he would definitely play.

The second round of the knockout match between Liverpool and Juventus was held on the night of March 3. At the press conference before the match, Allegri said that he did not care what tactics Liverpool would adopt and which players they would choose. He only cares about the team getting a necessary victory at Anfield today.

Allegri does not believe that Zhang Yuan will be absent at all. He has warned the Juventus players within the team that Zhang Yuan is only slightly injured and is very likely to play in this game. He asked the team not to have any flukes psychology.

If Zhang Yuan cannot play, it should be said that it is absolutely good news for the Juventus players, although Buffon and others did not focus on Zhang Yuan but on Liverpool when they were interviewed before the game On the whole team, but they can still feel relieved from some certain words.

Allegri doesn't want the players to relax, you have to figure it out, the real disadvantage is us, we still lack two away goals!
When they learned of Liverpool's starting lineup before the game, everyone was a little disappointed, but Zhang Yuan insisted on playing after all.

But the start of this game surprised Juventus. To be precise, it has a lot to do with Klopp's carelessness. At Anfield, Klopp certainly hopes that Liverpool can dominate the game. According to From his understanding, Juventus is a very calm opponent.

But today's Allegri opened his eyes. After the opening, Juventus didn't talk nonsense, and directly pressed the entire formation, intending to attack Liverpool. Liverpool was not prepared enough, and soon Juventus took the lead. , In the 4th minute, Cuadrado made a pass from the right. Mandzukic competed for the top, but failed. Sandro stopped the ball and passed the ball to the middle. Pogba shot and scored the ball into Liverpool's goal. door.

Liverpool was dumbfounded. They didn't expect Juventus to take the lead so quickly. This goal means that Juventus regained the advantage. If Liverpool can't change the score for a long time, then Juventus will advance.

Zhang Yuan was a little confused in front of him. He couldn't even see how Juventus scored a goal. When he thought about it, he was disappointed and helpless. He couldn't understand how his own city could be so easy. lost.

After Juventus scored a goal, Allegri's attitude was completely different. The front rhythm was very fast. This is not the way Juventus is good at. It can be said that he used Liverpool's way to make Liverpool suffer. , now that he is already in the lead, he is naturally unwilling to let the team continue in such a bad way, but starts to slow down his rhythm.

Teams like Juventus are very disciplined in tactics. They started to recover their formation and put the center of gravity in their own half of the defense. In this way, Liverpool’s operation encountered great resistance in the frontcourt, and the rhythm of the game inevitably declined. up.
