Chapter 975 Strong Comeback
Zhang Yuan doesn't think that the reporters who interviewed him can understand such feelings, because they may not necessarily feel the same way. In fact, how many Chinese people feel this way now.

In any case, the hasty filming in Europe was completed. Zhang Yuan specially invited the whole crew to watch Liverpool’s away game against Everton this weekend. I very much hope to see it, but this time the time is really too short, the supervisor reluctantly refused, they have to go back to China, and the post-production must be completed before the end of the year, which is not easy.

Relying on their fairly good performance in January, Liverpool has gradually caught up. It currently has 41 points, ranking seventh behind Arsenal, and is 8 points behind Manchester City, which is second. The gap between Manchester United and Manchester United is only 2 points. If it can continue this momentum, Liverpool has a good chance of reaching the top four. After all, Southampton and Tottenham in front of them are limited in strength. It's a bit difficult to perform so well this season.

The situation of the rivals Everton in the same city is much worse than that of Liverpool. The reason is that they played very badly in December and January. Now they only have 26 points and are ranked 12th. The European theater is very suspicious.

With such bad grades, Martinez didn't finish class. I have to say that Kennett really has a soft spot for him.

Now that these two are not meeting brothers and sisters, Liverpool is determined to win the opponent at Goodison Park and hopes to reach the semi-finals, while Everton hopes that this derby can bring the team out of the decline.

However, neither team was able to win a game on February 2. Liverpool was in a poor state in this game. Although they took the initiative on the scene, their ability to seize opportunities on the front line really needs to be improved. The good news is that Liverpool did not concede the ball, and the two teams ended the Merseyside derby this season 8:0, with one point each.

Of course Klopp is not happy with this result, but he has nothing to do. Now he is eager to hope that Zhang Yuan can recover as soon as possible.

On the contrary, one of Zhang Yuan's employees was very happy, "The result of this game is very good! You are lucky to have escaped!"

"Jerry, are you shameless when you speak? If Zhang Yuan goes up today, you will definitely not get a tie!" Li Junzhen was speechless to Mr. Bart.

"The result won't change if he gets on! He's not God!" Mr. Butt said with a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, the current situation in the Premier League is a bit chaotic. Chelsea and Manchester City are leading the way. Several teams behind them are strong contenders for third and fourth. Then Southampton won a victory, surpassing Manchester United, who had a draw, came to third place in the standings, while Tottenham defeated their arch-rival Arsenal at White Hart Lane, closely following Southampton and Manchester United, and Liverpool tied Arsenal with one point. , but due to the goal difference relationship, they surpassed their ranking and rose by one place, reaching sixth.

Zhang Yuan didn't really participate in the team's joint training until the day before the match against Tottenham Hotspur, but Klopp obviously couldn't wait any longer. He told Zhang Yuan that you would start tomorrow!

He needs Zhang Yuan's goal, but at the previous press conference he claimed that Zhang Yuan may not be able to play. His reason is that Zhang Yuan has not followed the team to practice together and is still undergoing recovery training.

Playing psychological warfare, Uncle Zha said that I would actually do it too.

On the evening of February 2th, Liverpool played against Tottenham Hotspur at home. To the delight of Liverpool fans, Zhang Yuan finally made his debut after a week. Of course, the bigger surprise was that Zhang Yuan was in very good condition after his comeback. Well, he completed two passes and two shots in this game, helping Liverpool beat Tottenham 10:4 at home.

This game is a confrontation between two high-impact teams. Tottenham is a team with a lot of young people. Pochettino is not a conservative coach. Neither is Klopp. Both sides play offense Banner, this kind of game is really good. Goals come and go. Zhang Yuan scored a goal, then assisted Sterling to score, and then assisted Ali, who came on the field, to score another point. Finally, the icing on the cake, he scored another All four goals have something to do with him.

After the game, the media in England went crazy again and gave Zhang Yuan a new title "Terminator", claiming that Zhang Yuan was as cold as a Terminator.

Klopp was so happy from ear to ear. In the interview after the game, he said: "I am very happy that Zhang Yuan can show a good state. At the beginning of his return, his physical state was not very good. Our work is fruitful. Yes, his current state is recovering well, but he has not yet reached his best state, I believe he will be able to do better given some time!"

Pochettino expressed his helplessness with the result of this game. He had no practical solution to deal with Klopp's mad dog. In addition, Zhang Yuan's Liverpool striker was too powerful. Of course, Liverpool also had defensive capabilities. Many loopholes can be caught, but who can guarantee that their team can seize all opportunities, and Liverpool does not seize every opportunity.

The 4:2 victory over Tottenham made a good start for Zhang Yuan's return, and Liverpool also re-entered the top four with this crucial victory.

In the FA Cup match on the weekend, Zhang Yuan was once again hidden, but Liverpool still defeated Crystal Palace 2:1 away and successfully entered the sixth round. Their opponent was the British Championship team Blackburn. This is a good signing .

On the evening of February 2th, Liverpool finally ushered in Porto, their opponent in the top 18 of the Champions League. Zhang Yuan will undoubtedly start this game.

In the 12th minute of the first half, he received a pass from Coutinho, outflanked the goal, and shoveled to help Liverpool break the deadlock. In the 67th minute of the second half, he responded again, and Coutinho cut inside and hit the goal. , Emre Can made a supplementary shot into the net, helping Liverpool beat Porto 2:0 at home, and has entered the top 8 with one foot.

After the game, Zhang Yuan said in an interview: "I feel that I am in the right state now! Porto is not a weak team, and I am very happy to win this victory! Our team has a glorious tradition in the history of the Champions League. Now we hope to continue this tradition, the away game against Porto will not be easy, but as long as we can play our own level, promotion will definitely not be a problem!"

The next two rounds of matches for Liverpool are very critical, all against the top four teams, the first game is an away game against Southampton, and the second game is a home game against Manchester City, both teams are not easy to play.

After Koeman took over Southampton, his first league game was against Liverpool. At that time, his team lost to Rodgers' Liverpool 1:2. In his home court, Koeman must have had the idea of ​​avenging his shame. In fact, Klopp's tactics are very familiar and well understood. Before the game, Koeman's decision was to defend and counterattack.

However, the game on February 2 was not according to his wishes. Only 22 minutes into the game, Coutinho took the lead in prying open Southampton's iron barrel formation in an arc outside the penalty area, allowing Koeman to stick to it The plan to fight back failed.

As a last resort, he can only fight against Liverpool. Liverpool now wants to say that the attack mode that Liverpool is least afraid of is that the opponent fights against him, against? !Who is afraid of whom? !
As a result, this game was once again on the path that Liverpool hoped for. Liverpool finally won Southampton 2-0. Southampton's attack power is not particularly strong. It is not that they have no chance in this game, but they are not sure. Live, and Zhang Yuan is still in good form for Liverpool. Although he failed to score a goal, it goes without saying that he is active. The other goal was Sterling, and it was Zhang Yuan who passed the ball for him.

After this battle, Liverpool has scored 48 points and continues to tie with Arsenal, which has won two consecutive victories, but they have pulled down Southampton and come to the fourth position in the standings. It may be a bit of a dream to say that the championship is now, so Zhang Yuan He also said pragmatically after the game: "What we need to do now is to get as close to Chelsea as possible. It may be difficult for us to win the championship, but we hope to maintain the current momentum and get tickets for the Champions League!"
