Chapter 878 Another Color

Sturridge sent Zhang Yuan back to the hotel, and Zhang Yuan complained: "Look, being famous is not a good thing. If you want to get together with friends, you can only go to a hidden place! That way you won't be disturbed!"

Sturridge smiled and said, "It's not that scary. In fact, it's because you don't go often. If you go often, everyone will be familiar with it and it won't be so troublesome. Every time you are surrounded by them, you will receive their compliments!"

"Oh, how do you say that?!"

"Haha, there are so many bars here! Each bar basically has a fixed group of customers! Well, that is to say, the bars here do not have frequent turnover of people! If you go there a few times, you will definitely find that there are also people who drink. As far as those people are concerned, there won't be many strangers!" Sturridge explained with a smile.

This is the bar culture in England. Zhang Yuan seldom goes to bars, so he doesn't know much about the situation in England.

But the paparazzi thing is very annoying. The next day, the whereabouts of Zhang Yuan and Sturridge were wonderfully presented in front of the readers by the photos of the paparazzi.

This kind of thing is commonplace for Zhang Yuan, so he just ignores it anyway. There are two training sessions scheduled today. The morning is a routine training session. In the afternoon, Rogers specially arranged a targeted tactical training session, targeting who and Manchester City. !
Manchester City is a difficult opponent. Money is omnipotent. It makes sense everywhere. Manchester City relies on money to pile up. It was the same with Chelsea in the past. No, they have been bullied by rivals Manchester City in the same city, talking about a strong team, but after Thaksin and the Middle East consortium took over such a team, everything changed.

In just a few years, they have already won two league championships in the league. It is true that they are looking for Zhang Yuan this summer. They always have too many good players, but Zhang Yuan finally chose Liverpool, and Manchester City is gone in the transfer market. What a big move, the midfielder signed Fernando and Zucurini, the goalkeeper signed Caballero, and the defender signed Sagna without signing.

Their strength continues unabated, they are obviously the biggest threat to Liverpool!

Of course Rogers attaches great importance to it. Liverpool exposed many problems in the last game, such as problems on the defensive end. This is also their old problem.

In the past few seasons, Liverpool have conceded more than 40 goals. Last season, their offensive performance was completely paid for by the defense. The goals they scored were comparable to Manchester City. Liverpool scored 101 goals, while Manchester City was 102, but defensively Liverpool conceded a full 50 goals, while Manchester City's 37.

This is the Premier League. Those who conceded few goals like Chelsea are different, but your 50 goals conceded is too much. It is not without reason that Manchester City won the championship in the end.

In fact, the balance between offense and defense has always been a difficult problem for Liverpool coaches to solve. At least Glarish and Rodgers have not been able to solve it. Glarish is conservative. When he accepts Liverpool, Liverpool may even worry about relegation. As a result, the defense has improved, but the offense has not improved. Why Suarez performed generally in Liverpool in the first two seasons has a lot to do with Grealish's coaching ideas.

After Rodgers came to power, if he wanted to score points, he could only strengthen Liverpool's offensive support, so the team scored more goals, but the defense was much worse than that of Glarish's era. In the first year, he conceded 43 goals. If you lose 50, maybe you will lose 60 in the third year.

Last season, at least in the eyes of many people, it was not Manchester City but Liverpool that were lucky, because they were able to get second. At the beginning of this season, celebrities from various teams commented on the new season of the Premier League in the media. It is also a bright spot for these celebrities to join the media after retiring.

Keown, the backbone of Arsenal's defense, said: "Manchester City will easily win the championship this season! Liverpool?! They are useless, the gap is too far behind Manchester City, so what if they have Zhang Yuan?! This cannot change their poor defense!"

Before the words fell, Liverpool was scored by Southampton at home!
Then "snap" the team's main central defender Digan was injured, and it was really a question of who to replace.

In this tactical drill class, Rogers chose the combination of Skrtel and Toure. Kolo Toure was a substitute bought by Liverpool at the time. He basically spent his career in the Premier League and has rich experience. , Liverpool's Agger said that the departure did not start this year, it was already said last year, and the purchase of Toure was to fill Agger's substitute role.

Last season, he got 20 chances to play under Rodgers. Rodgers still values ​​his experience. Of course, it is impossible to be an absolute main force. After all, he is old, and Toure doesn't care.

This time Rodgers paired him with Skrtel in the rehearsal, which clearly meant he wanted to pair him with Skrtel, not Lovren.

Judging from the effect of the drill, it is not bad, of course, it is hard to say what it will look like in actual combat!
In addition to the special drills and arrangements for defense, Rogers also gave a small talk to several forwards, mainly explaining the mistakes that may occur in Manchester City's defensive system, and telling everyone who will play in the next game. Zhang Yuan will play. With Sturridge, Sterling has no game!

Rodgers will adopt another tactic, 4312, Zhang Yuan and Sturridge will play double center. Not bad at all up front.

Of course, Sterling was not happy to hear such an arrangement. After all, he also hopes to play more games, but in Rodgers' heart, he still relatively trusts Sturridge, who has a relatively high scoring rate.

Rogers is kind to the players and is willing to communicate with the players. After Zhang Yuan and the others left, Rogers comforted Sterling, saying that the reason for his use of two strikers was that Zhang Yuan was not a pure striker. , It's good for him to grab points, but there is a gap with Suarez in this point, but he still has a relatively high scoring efficiency because he has good shooting skills, a high shooting accuracy rate, and his ability to get rid of the ball is better than Suarez Much stronger, and often he can create chances to shoot.

Sterling also needs someone to grab points for passing the ball. Sterling tried it in the last game. Either his pass was unreliable, or the tacit understanding was not enough, and Zhang Yuan failed to run to the required position.

Rogers is not a blind coach, and Manchester City's central defenders are not easy to deal with, so it is right to increase manpower.

The second round of the Premier League officially started on the weekend, and the games of each team continued one after another, while Liverpool trained as usual.

Everton sits at home in this round of the game against the giants Arsenal in London. The kick-off time is 05:30 in the afternoon. The city of Liverpool has turned blue again. Zhang Yuan returned to the hotel from the Melwood training ground in the afternoon. At that time, passing through the city happened to see many fans heading to Goodison Park.

"There are a lot of Everton fans!" Zhang Yuan sighed, and the driver beside him said, "Well, they do have a lot of fans!"

There are two mixed teams in the Premier League in the city of Liverpool, but at the beginning Everton and Liverpool belonged to one family. Everton used the Anfield Stadium at the time. Later, the owner of the stadium, Holding and Everton. The Furton club broke up, Everton moved to Goodison Park, and Holding and his supporters rebuilt Liverpool.

This is how Liverpool came about. Because it was established later than Everton, Everton had a very large number of fans, far more than Liverpool fans. Later, with Liverpool's outstanding performance, the number of fans in the city gradually increased.

But the inheritance of Premier League fans is relatively strong. For example, my father likes Everton, and my son has a great possibility that he will not like Liverpool. If nothing else, let’s talk about Gerrard’s family. They have been Liverpool for generations fans.

Therefore, the number of Everton fans in Liverpool is also very large, and the attendance rate of Goodison Park is relatively high.

Many fans are die-hard fans of their respective teams. The hatred for the mortal enemy is the same as the enemy. The players of the mortal enemy are also the objects they hate. The driver advises Zhang Yuan not to go out at night if he has nothing to do. If he encounters the drunk of the mortal enemy, It's possible to beat you up.

After listening to the driver, Zhang Yuan lamented that this is England’s football culture, which is very profound. Unlike domestic clubs, it is difficult to take root in one place if they change their owners. Is it because of this that Chinese football cannot rise? Does it matter? !
