Chapter 868 Goodbye Conte
On August 8, Liverpool and Manchester United played their International Champions Cup roles at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

In this game, Zhang Yuan finally returned to the lineup again, and he was the starter. It can be seen that Rogers attaches great importance to this game. Whether it is in the United States or in England, this is a double-red game and must be taken seriously.

And Zhang Yuan also played [-] points for this game, hoping to use a small trophy to start his Liverpool journey.

But the result of this game was not as he wished. Liverpool lost 1:3 to Manchester United. Both teams were more cautious in this game. They didn’t get many chances, but Liverpool definitely had more chances. , but he didn't grasp it. Zhang Yuan's spirit was very high, but his condition was still average. He was caught in a double-team confrontation with Phil Jones and Smalling, and he still lacked tacit understanding with his teammates.

Although they lost the game, given the unimportance of the game itself, Liverpool and Zhang Yuan quickly put the defeat behind them.

Rogers gave the players a day off, and Zhang Yuan naturally went to find his girlfriend Anna.

Then the Liverpool team left the United States and returned to Liverpool and returned to the Melwood training base.

The new season of the Premier League will start on August 8, which means that Liverpool only have about ten days to prepare.

And Zhang Yuan's state and the tacit understanding of his teammates made Rogers a little worried, and Zhang Yuan also felt that he thought the problem too simply.

Rodgers has no problem with big tactics, but he doesn’t pay attention to details like Conte. Conte also pays attention to details in offense, but Rogers doesn’t. Once Rogers’ offense reaches the frontcourt, it depends entirely on the players. There is no fixed routine for personal ability, and it is under the influence of his thinking that, apart from Gerald Henderson in the midfield, anyone in the frontcourt can dribble the ball forward.

It takes a little longer and everyone is familiar with each other. This kind of offensive method is no problem, but it can give the opponent a feeling that they are hard to defend. But if Zhang Yuan is new to the team, it is simply cheating. I don’t know when they will pass the ball. Breakthrough can only be gradually familiarized with.

Zhang Yuan is worrying about such a problem now. It may be better when Suarez is around. Everyone focuses on his point. No matter how sudden, Suarez tries to stand in a favorable position to catch the ball, but after Suarez leaves, Zhang Yuan I feel that this group of people played too loosely. Of course, he now suspects that this phenomenon is caused by the unfixed players in the warm-up match and training match. What he now expects is that Rogers can clarify the main lineup.

Back in the UK, the staff of Liverpool took Zhang Yuan to see several houses in the suburbs. Zhang Yuan chose a villa in Formby Town. This area is also where many Liverpool players live. Deegan also lives here.

"This house is quite big, and it can fully meet your needs! It's just a redecoration!" Digan commented.

"Yes, there is no way!" Zhang Yuan shrugged and expressed his regret. He hoped to be able to reunite with his family as soon as possible, but it seems that this is not possible now. He has to pick and choose the external infrastructure carefully.

Zhang Yuan asked Gerrard again if he had a suitable renovation team, and sought Gerrard's help, hoping to complete the house redecoration within 3 months.

This is no problem for Gerrard.

On August 8th, Liverpool played the last warm-up match of the new season at Anfield, against Dortmund under the leadership of Klopp.

The opening time of the Bundesliga is a week later than that of the Premier League. Dortmund has shown fatigue last season and was pulled down by Bayern by as much as 19 points. This is already a sign of decline.

In this game, Liverpool completely broke out amidst the cheers of the home fans, beating Dortmund 4:0.

Zhang Yuan started the field and scored twice in this game. He still failed to form a good understanding with his teammates, but he also pushed forward with the ball crazily. He often did not work as a striker. Waist, Dortmund still can't deal with him, the two goals are a direct free kick in the front court, and the other is a goal after a personal breakthrough with the ball. In front of tens of thousands of Red Army fans, Zhang Yuan finally showed it to everyone What is the world's first.

After this warm-up match, the Liverpool players got two days off. Originally, Zhang Yuan should have stayed and continued training, but he obviously missed his daughter more than training, so after the game ended in the afternoon, he got on the plane in the evening Fly to Turin.

The next morning, Zhang Yufei saw her father when she opened her eyes. She was so happy that she hugged Zhang Yuan's neck and asked, "Dad, where have you been?! I miss you so much!"

"Hey, Dad misses you too! Dad has gone out to work!" Zhang Yuan was so distressed, since Zhang Yufei realized it, she really didn't have her father or mother by her side for more than 10 days.

During the World Cup, Zhang Yuan couldn't go out, but Zhang Yufei was taken by Anna. This time Anna was in the United States, and Zhang Yuan had been out for more than ten days and nearly half a month. Zhang Yufei really missed her father.

"Dad, can you stop working! Stay with me!" Zhang Yufei suddenly cried again.

Zhang Yuan's eyes were also wet, alas, this girl is really good, she is only over two years old, and she speaks like a decent person, which moved my father too.

But in other words, how long have I been away from you!

Zhang Yuan doesn't quite understand, children at this stage actually recognize people very much, and Zhang Yuan is his father, the kinship relationship makes Zhang Yufei get closer to Zhang Yuan and clings to her very much.

Zhang Yuan didn't go anywhere that day, just stayed at home with his daughter, played games with her, and taught her Chinese.

But this peace was destined to be broken. In the afternoon, Conte called Zhang Yuan and asked where Zhang Yuan was. Zhang Yuan said he was in Turin, so he invited Zhang Yuan to have dinner together.

Conte's invitation had to go, and besides, he was fine.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan and his daughter appeared at the restaurant opened by Conte in Turin. Conte's wife and daughter also came to eat. Zhang Yuan exchanged greetings with them, and they made fun of the young Zhang Yufei.

However, the last time this girl met them was in May, so she obviously forgot and hid in Zhang Yuan's arms again.

A timid expression made people feel pity, and Conte's wife said: "Zhang Yuan, your daughter is so cute!"

"Thank you! Alisa! She is a little embarrassed! She will be able to get along well with Victoria later!" Victoria is the daughter of Conte and Alisa Beta. She is only 6 years old now. Zhang Yufei also liked it very much and insisted on sitting next to Zhang Yufei.

After a few pleasantries, everyone began to enjoy dinner, and Conte asked Zhang Yuan how he was at his new club recently.

"How should I put it, it's okay! To be precise, the situation is not particularly good, and I still need some time to get used to it! I hope this time won't be too long!" Zhang Yuan replied.

"Hey, you don't really need to adapt!" Conte said, "Don't look at me with doubts, I'm telling the truth! The tactical discipline of the Premier League is not very strong, and they don't pay much attention to details. Whether it's offense or defense depends on the individual, this is just my point of view! For a player like you, you don't need too much support from your teammates to play well!"

Conte's words made Zhang Yuan confused. Is the Premier League so unbearable? !
Looking at Zhang Yuan's puzzled face, Conte explained: "Other leagues pay more attention to integrity, and the Premier League is actually a bit worse in this regard, but their offensive and defensive transitions are very fast, which is a big advantage for them. Advantages, sometimes individual assault ability makes people hard to defend. It’s not that a more integrated team can’t defeat them, but sometimes many teams with insufficient strength can hardly maintain a balance of offense and defense under such a rhythm! Therefore, in fact, Their style is not necessarily worse than the overall one, the key is to see who is in the team!"

"If you look at the changes in the Premier League over the years, there are very few who insist on traditional English football. They are gradually changing, but generally they still maintain the most important characteristics of the past, confrontation and fast pace! You are originally a football player. A faster striker is a striker who is very good at taking advantage of the opponent's gaps. The rhythm of the Premier League is actually quite suitable for you. Why do you need to adapt?! In my opinion, as long as your midfield teammates can quickly pass the ball to your feet Everything works! You just need to be able to read the opponent's holes well every game!"
