Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 1053 What a coincidence

"Zhang Yuan, how do you evaluate the performance of the Chinese team in this game?!" The reporter from the domestic sports station asked.

Time flies, this is the reporter's question to Zhang Yuan after the war with Qatar on October 10.

In the club's competition, Liverpool made great strides. After winning Villa, they successively won the Champions League opponent Olympiacos and the rival Everton in the same city. Zhang Yuan scored 3 goals in these games, but in the national team However, Zhang Yuan had a very unsatisfactory life.

The temperature in Qatar in October is still very hot. Even though the game is scheduled at night, the local temperature in Qatar is very uncomfortable. In this critical battle, Zhang Yuan traveled long distances and the temperature was too high. , The performance of the whole game was unsatisfactory, not only him, but the overall performance of the national team was very sluggish. In the end, the national team lost 10:0 to the home team at home in Qatar. The situation became more and more serious, and Qatar, who was the first in the group, was already 1 points away. This is not an easy point to get closer.

Zhang Yuan didn't want to find a reason at all, but he still wanted to talk about today's weather. Is this bird place really suitable for playing football? !

"We have no excuse for losing. We played very badly in this game. The hot weather made us feel tired! Our ability to run on the court has dropped a lot. They are more prepared for this game! We have no excuse for losing!"

"After losing this game, the current qualifying situation for the Chinese team is very severe. Do you think it is possible for the Chinese team to qualify directly?!"

"I still have strong confidence in qualifying. Don't forget, we are only halfway through the schedule and still have a chance. The key is now we need to win, otherwise everything is empty talk!"

Now the Chinese team has just finished the first round, Qatar, Hong Kong, Bhutan, and Maldives, but according to expectations, the results of the first round are not very satisfactory, only two wins, one draw and one loss, such results fall in Qatar Behind, and has not yet been able to get rid of the gap with Hong Kong, China.

After the depressing national team game, he returned to Liverpool. After a few days of rest, Zhang Yuan followed the team's journey to the Battle of White Hart Lane.

Under the leadership of Pochettino last season, Tottenham's youth team made rapid progress. Under his training, Tottenham qualified for the Europa League. Except for losing to Manchester United in the first round this season, Tottenham It has been unbeaten in 7 rounds, but there are many draws among them, resulting in their points being only 13 points, 7 points less than Liverpool. Liverpool is still ranked first, but if they can't win Tottenham today, and If Manchester City wins Bournemouth, Liverpool will be overtaken by Manchester City and fall to the second position.

As far as Tottenham are concerned, this game is very important to them. Of course they hope to win this victory to narrow the distance with the first group, but Liverpool is very difficult to deal with. Even Pochettino said in the press release before the game Said at the meeting: "The Liverpool team led by Klopp is extremely aggressive. Their performance during this period has proved to everyone what a good team they are. We need extraordinary determination and hard work to win. Limit their movement space!"

During the game, Tottenham did exactly that. They shrunk their formation very tightly during the defensive process and used density to limit Liverpool's interspersed running. The formation was widened again, and Liverpool encountered big trouble in this game.

He clearly has the advantage in possession of the ball, but he can't use his offense to penetrate Tottenham. Of course, Klopp did not dare to be careless in such a battle. Liverpool also did a good job of restricting the restrictions. The two teams did not As the outside world expected, there was a confrontational battle, but a 0:0 draw. In another game at the same time, Manchester City beat Bournemouth 5:1 at home and squeezed Liverpool out. took the number one throne.

However, Klopp was not disappointed with this game. He said in an interview after the game: "The game against Tottenham is always not easy. Mr. Pochettino is a very capable head coach, and They have a lot of talent in their squad, White Hart Lane is never an easy home ground and to be able to get a point here after a national team break is something I'm happy with!"

Pochettino was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it. They actually played well in a strong team this season and lost to Manchester United, but they beat Manchester City 4:1 in the seventh round.

When playing against strong teams, they are often able to make good use of the impact in the counterattack process. Their passes are direct and effective, but when they meet Liverpool, who are also young and physically fit, this trick is not so easy to use. Liverpool's The offensive and defensive conversion speed has made great progress this season, which is one of the reasons why it is not easy for many teams to find counterattack opportunities on Liverpool.

Zhang Yuan's performance against Tottenham was not very good. Maybe it was because the national team was tired after returning from the game, or maybe it was because he couldn't forget the internal conflicts in the national team, and he might be facing a difficult environment. In short, his performance was not good. good.

It was already evening when I returned to Liverpool. My brother-in-law Li Jun watched the game and asked him: "What's wrong with you today?! It feels like you are always out of shape on the court! You need to adjust your mentality! The Champions League will be coming soon. It's Bayern Munich!"

"Oh, I know! The national team is in trouble during this period! You know the current situation, we are praying for Hong Kong to lose, otherwise it will be a difficult time for us!" Zhang Yuan shook his head and took the milk handed over by Li Jun sat down and said.

"Honey, you are in the club now, don't worry about the national team! I already know about your situation, but the worst has not happened yet, so you don't need to worry so much. Didn't my brother-in-law say that you may also be Is the second place in the group promoted?! Maybe this is also a choice, there is no need to worry so much!" Anna, who just came downstairs, also heard their conversation, and immediately tried to persuade Zhang Yuan.

"Well, I got it! Don't worry, I'll sleep and everything will be fine! The midweek game is very important, they are very strong, but we need to establish an advantage at home first!" Zhang Yuan nodded and accepted Everyone's relief.

After washing up and returning to the bedroom, Anna was lying on the bed and flipping through magazines. Since the last disagreement, Anna now spends significantly more time at home. Zhang Yuan is generally doing well now, and he is more harmonious with the family. Great relationship.

Zhang Yuan looked at the delicate Anna ready to move.

"No, not during this time!" Anna rejected Zhang Yuan.

"Why?! Hehe, your aunt has not been in these two days!" Zhang Yuan smiled playfully.

"Tell you a secret!"

"What secret?!"

"I am pregnant!"

"Ah, really?! Is what you said true?!" Zhang Yuan shouted happily with his arms around Anna.

"Haha, I lied to you about this! I went to the hospital for an examination today, and the doctor said that I was 2 months pregnant! Now is the time to be careful, so I can't accompany you!"

"Thank you! Baby! It's not a problem, just wait for a while! Hey! Okay, I'm going to be a dad again! Does my daughter know the news?!"

"she does not know!"

"Maybe we should talk to her, she will welcome a younger brother or sister!" Zhang Yuan touched his mouth and said, the daughter has always been the little princess in the family, I don't know how it will react, but she is still young now, I guess I don't quite understand these things either.

"She will be happy, I think he and John have a good time!" John is the English name of Zhang Yuan's nephew, which was given by Anna for her nephew.

"Haha, that's because John is always taking care of her. If one day she needs to take care of others, maybe she doesn't think so!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

When I went to the training ground the next day, Zhang Yuan looked very happy. Digan asked him suspiciously: "Is there anything to be happy about?!"

"I'm going to be a father again, do you think I'm happy?! Haha! Digan, why hasn't Elise moved yet?!"

"Hmph, whoever told you that there was no movement, forgot to tell you that I'm going to be a father too!" Digan snorted twice.

"Haha, this... this is really a coincidence!"
