ball at foot

For Liverpool's defeat, Zhao Yaning just hung up the phone to his former teammates and said a few words of comfort.To the media, he said nothing.It's just a European Super Cup, not a big award. This award is not enough to make people realize what kind of virtue Americans are. I don't need to fight with Americans for such a small award. After all, my serious business If you are too busy, how can you take care of these things?

At this time, it is more important to think more about the grouping of the Champions League and how to integrate into the team.

But fortunately, this time, in the group stage, there was no need to worry about any big troubles.Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all teams in the first tier this season. If you want to hype up feuds, you will not be able to draw opponents.And Milan is also the same first-tier team, and they don't have to worry about running into some of their enemies.

And if they can't be drawn-then, Zhao Yaning feels that other teams have nothing to worry about.Bayern and Juventus didn't even play in the Champions League this year. The Premier League is all in the first tier, and the stronger Milan duo in Serie A are also in the first tier. The strongest team that can be encountered is at most one that currently dominates Ligue [-] Lyon, but Lyon's strength, in Zhao Yaning's view, the threat is not too great.

Compared with Liverpool, Real Madrid is indeed weaker.However, no matter how bad it is, it is still the first team in Europe, and its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary teams. [

But even so, when he really arrived in Monaco, things were beyond his expectations.

Of course it's not about the awards - there's nothing special about the awards this year.The best goalkeeper was given to Cech-although he played few games, most people believed that Cech was able to recover quickly after a serious injury and lead Chelsea to the semi-finals, which deserves this award.Even the other goalkeepers consciously expressed their excitement: this is a great encouragement for Petr Cech, who has returned from injury.

The best defender is Maldini—after losing the Champions League, Maldini once announced that he was going to retire, but under the persuasion of the club, Maldini said that because the club really has no one, he is willing to play for another year— —A 37-year-old veteran who played really well. It's hard to say who is the better top defender, but even if you don't talk about ability, relying on his qualifications, no one has any objections to him winning this award.

And the best striker belongs to Kaka—although he plays as a midfielder in name, but sometimes, Milan does put him on the front line—because Berlusconi likes to play with two forwards, and Anche Lotti sometimes fooled him—although his style of play was not a regular striker, but at this time, people still let him get the best striker.He accepted this award with pleasure. After all, he also knew that if he was in the midfield position, then he would have to compete with Zhao Yaning.

The best player and best midfielder are naturally Zhao Yaning's - although he has already transferred, everyone has to admit that he is Liverpool's best performer.Even Liverpool strongly advocated that Gerrard should win the award, but when Gerrard himself was interviewed, he said that Zhao Yaning deserved the award more. With this attitude, what else is there to say?

"I am grateful for everything Liverpool have given me. I am grateful to my team-mates, I am grateful to the coach, and at the same time, I am also very grateful to Mr Morse and the fans, they are all people I am extremely grateful to. I am very happy I was able to get this award at Liverpool and I hope, Liverpool, can play better and better."

Zhao Yaning’s words kicked around, even if the Americans were not mentioned, the media caught the topic, but these are not things that Zhao Yaning cares about.In comparison, what really surprised him was the Champions League grouping.

"Real Madrid, Olympiacos, Werder Bremen, Lazio."

Such a grouping surprised Zhao Yaning: Unexpectedly, to be lucky enough to meet such a weak group?

Zhao Yaning has been playing in the Champions League for several years. In his impression, this should be the best team he has ever encountered.

In the group, there is not even a strong team that is good enough. Although Werder Bremen and Lazio are also teams in the five major leagues, Werder Bremen just sold the absolute core of the team in the summer. Luo Ze, and Lazio's ability to enter the Champions League has nothing to do with Fiorentina's point deduction.How can such a good group come from without cheating?

He wasn't the only one who thought this way, after returning to the team, everyone said so.

"We can still occupy a huge advantage in such a Champions League grouping. We can focus more on one front, which can help us greatly save energy, and doing so can also help us in fasting and African Cup of Nations Accumulate enough points before coming here." Schuster was very happy with the result of the draw, "We can play better."

"How could it be a single-line battle? Isn't there still a cup?" Zhao Yaning asked, "Don't we have to play the King's Cup?"

In Zhao Yaning’s memory, the Copa del Rey game is still not an easy task.Although there is only one cup, but because of the Copa del Rey system, home and away games determine the outcome, and each round consists of two games. Therefore, in Zhao Yaning’s view, there are also many games, and the task is still very heavy. .

But his view was immediately overturned.

"For the Copa del Rey match, just leave it to the children of the second team to play. What's so serious about such a match?"

After Zhao Yaning asked, he learned about the situation in La Liga.Because the Copa del Rey has less prize money and low gold content, most teams look down on this award. Therefore, in many cases, the team sends the second team to play the game.And this kind of approach naturally caused no one to watch the game, and the more no one watched, the more no one would play well. Under the long-term vicious circle, the Copa del Rey game became tasteless .

And to what extent is it tasteless? [

"Atletico Madrid had a game against a low-level team. Because the game hadn't started, the winner was already clear, so few fans were willing to pay to watch the game. And when it comes to the official game At the time, there were only 11 Atlético de Madrid fans there—the announcers on the scene joked, “I can’t recognize all the players, they are all from the second team, but the fans are all hardcore. We all know each other, let's introduce the fans directly, there will be fewer people, and it will save some trouble'..."

"In such a situation, the league doesn't care?" Zhao Yaning felt a little unimaginable.What kind of people are these.

"I can't control it. It's not that I don't want to play well, but it's a matter of money. With money as a factor, it is difficult to manage."

In this regard, Zhao Yaning was right, he shrugged and did not speak.

"Then, let's play this half season well. After half a season, when it comes to the winter break, we have to have a good enough score." Schuster said, "Joy, what do you think, we After half a season, how many points is more appropriate?"

"For half a season... the goal of [-] points is about the same?"

This sentence surprised the teammates present, "Half a season, 46 points in 57 games? How is that possible! The highest record in La Liga in half a season is [-] points! Nineteen games in half a season, A total of [-] points, if it is [-] points, doesn't it mean that after half a season, at most two games have been lost? How is this possible?"

"I don't know the specific situation of La Liga. Anyway, I am in the Premier League. If I don't have [-] points in the first half, then I will be exhausted in the second half. This requirement is not high. I am in the Premier League. Reached [-] points in both seasons?"

"Your substitutes are much thicker than La Liga! La Liga, if you can score more than 70 points, you are already a championship group."

What Zhao Yaning thought of: the average salary of the Premier League is high, the lineup is thick, and there are many rotations. Therefore, the team has a lot of victories.However, La Liga has a big difference in wages, a poor level of substitutes, and the thickness of the lineup is naturally not very good. Without thickness, it is impossible to rotate, and the natural score is much lower.In La Liga, generally speaking, a team with more than 80 points is a championship-level team, and a team with more than 70 points will be called a dominant team.

"But, that was in the past." Zhao Yaning said, "Now that I'm here, it's better to change the rules. Liverpool's bench is not too thick. I play games a year, and sometimes I have to have fifty. More than 70 points per game? It's too low. Fifty points in half a season, and a tight schedule in the second half of the season, a total of [-] points is good. We should be able to achieve this score, right?"

Zhao Yaning didn’t think that this was a very high score. After Liverpool’s two seasons, he felt that if he wanted to win the championship, it was best to be on the safe side. With more than 70 points, it is very unsafe to win the championship based on the relationship between victory and defeat like last season. To him, getting more points and winning the championship safely is what he wants.

As for physical strength, it has never been a problem for him to worry about.If the team plays single-line combat and cannot guarantee sufficient physical strength, then such a team is meaningless.Real Madrid's atmosphere is not very good, and Zhao Yaning also wants to rely on himself to raise the required standards, so that they can really start to enter the game state.

Moreover, he felt that he had the ability to do this: La Liga's atmosphere is so conducive to offense, if he can't lead the team to [-] points, then he is too bad.

He wants to change this team a little bit, not only in terms of personnel, but most importantly, confidence.And what is more exciting than a champion with terrible points?

"Ninety points, that sounds crazy." Guti muttered to himself, "However, I am quite moved by what I said. Let's try it. This season, let's see if we can Get ninety points!"

After the UEFA Champions League draw, he returned to La Liga. The next game against the opponent is an away game against Villarreal.

This team, coached by Chilean engineer Pellegrini, has also entered a reform this season.They put Riquelme aside, and now they have Milan veteran Thomason and Italian teenager Giuseppe Rossi in the frontcourt.Above the midfield are Cazorla, Pires, Senna and other players. Although Riquelme is missing, it is still a strong team on paper.It's just that this season's running-in doesn't seem to be very good, and they haven't been able to play good results. Although many people are optimistic about their entry into the Champions League, people are more optimistic about Real Madrid in this game.

And playing against them also made the Spanish media continue to pay attention to the question they were looking forward to: When is Zhao Yaning's first goal coming?

"I don't know, it's time to come." Regarding this, Zhao Yaning was very calm, "There is no need to be entangled in scoring. Anyway, even if you don't score, the team wins."

Such a statement is obviously a bit too unpursuing, which also made many media speculate, "Maybe Zhao Yaning's goal will come later. He didn't even dare to give an exact time."

However, at the Love Song Stadium, Zhao Yaning made everyone have something to say in the opening 5 minutes.Van Nistelrooy received a cross from Ramos and passed the ball back to Zhao Yaning.And Zhao Yaning was just in front of the penalty area, and he shot from a long distance and broke the gate! [

"In the opening 5 minutes, Zhao Yaning scored! In this game, Zhao Yaning is in excellent condition!"
