Chapter 974 A Different Status
The situation made Klopp dissatisfied. The report of the medical examination center concluded that Zhang Yuan was in a state of extreme fatigue. Since the World Cup, he has not had a good rest time. The turmoil of the transfer caused him to delay some pre-season Training time, and then the start of the new season, the Asian Cup.

Although Zhang Yuan has returned to the team now, Zhang Yuan needs to rest for a certain period of time. Moreover, the medical examination report said that Zhang Yuan also has some minor injuries, which is not a major problem.

In fact, Klopp is a modern head coach who is very good at using advanced technology. He used to catch it very well in Dortmund, and now he is the same after coming to Liverpool. He also advocates scientific training methods when dealing with players' bodies. In his opinion, Zhang Yuan's physical condition is not suitable for high-intensity training with the team, and at least he has to rest for a few days.

Although in the Merseyside derby, Klopp very much hopes that Zhang Yuan will contribute, but now he is unwilling to take Zhang Yuan to take risks. Zhang Yuan scored 18 league goals in Liverpool in the first half. A very good number. After taking over Liverpool, Klopp realized that it was not easy. It was not easy to score 18 goals. In his heart, he didn’t like Hyypia’s tactical play. In terms of offense, the three-person team in the frontcourt is basically mixed. It is not easy for Zhang Yuan to score so many goals.

Moreover, Liverpool's current situation is that they don't have a striker who can go up. Without Zhang Yuan, Liverpool's attack efficiency has dropped a lot. Klopp has been in power for many games. It is easy to see that other players are shooting better than Zhang Yuan. Differences in skills, running positions, etc.

Going to Everton may have won the derby opponent, but if something goes wrong with Zhang Yuan, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Look at this report!" Klopp talked about business with Zhang Yuan on the bus going back.

Zhang Yuan couldn't understand their medical reports, so he could only look at the conclusions, "Recovery training is recommended, not suitable for playing!"

"Well, um..., that's right!" Klopp looked at Zhang Yuan's puzzled eyes and nodded, "They conduct a comprehensive inspection of your body! There are some problems with your muscles, signs of extreme fatigue! So these few days Today you will be training alone, I need to adjust your body to the best! Against Everton, I will not use you to play! You must be mentally prepared!"

"But I feel like I'm nothing!" Zhang Yuan said.

"You should follow the advice of the team doctor. I said before that don't worry! Next we will face a third-line battle. I don't want you to be in a bad state. Understand!" Klopp still exerted the authority of the coach at this time.

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement without saying anything.

Zhang Yuan, who returned to Liverpool, was not free, because the national TV station wanted to record the documentary of the Chinese team's winning of the Asian Cup. In addition to using some usual video materials, it also needed to take some of the players' usual situations, and Zhang Yuan was bound to become the top priority.

The sports station simply sent a lot of people to Liverpool a few years ago to shoot a documentary about Zhang Yuan called "The Road to Zhang Yuan".

Naturally, there is nothing that is not allowed by the Liverpool Club. The camera crew of China National Television is allowed to enter all places at the Melwood training base without any scruples.

In order to gain an in-depth understanding of Zhang Yuan's daily life, the film crew had to get up very early, and then drove to Zhang Yuan's apartment to follow Zhang Yuan's day.

Back in Liverpool, Zhang Yuan usually doesn’t get up until 7 o’clock in the morning. When he wakes up in the morning, he runs for half an hour in the morning. It’s jogging, not too strenuous, and then he returns home and has breakfast with his family.

"Basically, is it like this every day?!" Li Xin, a reporter who came to the training base and followed Zhang Yuan, asked. This is a not-so-good-looking female reporter who is about 40 years old.

"Yes, they are almost the same!" Zhang Yuan smiled.

"Then you all have worked hard!" Li Xin laughed.

What I said was, of course, polite words. At least Zhang Yuan didn’t feel how hard it was. He just said that because there were a lot of games throughout the season, he didn’t have much vacation time. For example, if he wanted to go a little farther, it was a bit impossible.

"It's still your hard work, it's nothing! You see that sometimes you have to get up very early because of tasks, and sometimes you can go to bed very late. As for me, this situation basically does not happen!" Zhang Yuan sincerely said Said.

"It's what we need for work, and it's okay to get used to it!" Li Xin humbled himself.

When they arrived at the club, they were received by a press officer. They would not disturb Zhang Yuan when he was training, but would just take pictures beside him.

The training started at 09:30 in the morning. Before the training, Zhang Yuan went to Klopp's office again. This time, Klopp explained to Zhang Yuan the recovery training items in the past few days.

In the morning, Zhang Yuan first went to the rendezvous team to participate in the warm-up training, and then did not practice with the team again. Instead, he followed the first-team coach Lienders for the planned training. The training intensity was relatively low.

Today's training ground is not without good news. Sturridge has returned to training, and he is also training alone. There are more training gaps between him and Zhang Yuan.

The relationship between Zhang Yuan and Sturridge has always been good. During the period when Sturridge was recuperating from his injuries, Zhang Yuan also visited him several times and had dinner together. On the contrary, the relationship between him and Balotelli became somewhat estranged.

Sometimes standing on the sidelines and watching teammates being severely drilled seems to be a pleasant thing. Zhang Yuan and Sturridge chatted happily in the interval.

Sturridge is not from Liverpool either. He is from Birmingham, and his accent will not be as weird as that of Liverpool people. After all, Birmingham is also a metropolis. Although Liverpool and Manchester are famous, they are actually two poor places.

One of the staff members of the national TV station filmed in the distance looked at the laughing Zhang Yuan and Sturridge and said: "Zhang Yuan is doing well in the team!"

Another person retorted: "At least he is number one in the world! Who can compete with him?!"

Zhang Yuan is indeed doing well in Liverpool. Most of the players like him because he doesn’t put on airs very much. He is always serious in training. Of course, he also loses his temper. Whether it’s right or wrong, their relationship is fine afterwards, and Zhang Yuan occasionally gives some good advice to the younger Sterling.

After finishing the training in the morning, Zhang Yuan couldn't leave, so he went to the recovery room for a massage. The physiotherapy took a little longer, and Zhang Yuan didn't leave the training base until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

At home, Li Xin conducted a series of interviews with Zhang Yuan, mainly focusing on two things, one about his experience abroad over the years, and the other about the national team.

"Actually, choosing the path of football is a bit of a surprise. I never thought I would have such a day! Now it seems that it was a risky move, an impulsive move..." Zhang Yuan began to describe his experience.

"How do you weigh between the club and the national team?! In other words, in your mind, who is the number one in your mind?!" Li Xin asked a very sharp question, why did she The reason for asking this question is because in terms of schedule, the schedule of the Chinese team is in great conflict with Liverpool.

"There is no doubt that the national team must be the priority! But I have never thought about such a problem before. I don't play football for the country, I have this dream myself! I didn't get selected to participate in the national team. What a disappointment! I was selected later, and when I was in it, I would understand the responsibility, because I am Chinese, I can play in European leagues, but I have a nationality, I am Chinese, I gradually understand With that responsibility, we should do what we should do for the rise of Chinese football!" Zhang Yuan said.

"The experience in the national team is different from that in the club. This championship, I also said that this is the most important honor in my life. This is a real feeling! I feel that I have done a pretty good job for the country , This is very proud! Others may not have such an experience at all!" Zhang Yuan said seriously.
