Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 908 Encouraging Bashen

In the game against Hull City, Zhang Yuan got a chance to take a break. Under the intensive schedule of the Premier League, it is obviously impossible for teams fighting on several fronts without rotation. In the midweek Champions Cup game, Zhang Yuan has already shown that Due to some fatigue, Hypia had to let Zhang Yuan take turns to rest. Zhang Yuan had no objection to this. During training, he felt that his condition was not very good, and it was not a bad thing to take a break.

The history of Hull City is unremarkable. It took a hundred years to play in the top league, but in the top league they have also been lifted in recent seasons, hovering between the Premier League and the British Championship.

In 2010, when Hull City had been relegated to the English Championship, the team's debt problem was very serious. Of course, this serious means that compared to their small club, the British Egyptian businessman Alam Bought the club and then paid off the debt. This is the fundamental reason why Hull City can continue to be an elevator, otherwise Hull City will be penalized and relegated.

Alam is a native of Hull City. He has accumulated a lot of wealth after working hard in the UK for many years. He is also trying his best to give Hull City blood transfusions, but he is not a rich boss among the rich bosses in the Premier League. The reason why the city can only be used as an elevator all the time.

Alam has never denied that he is not a fan at all. At that time, his original intention of buying this century-old store was only because he was also from Hull City. Many Hull City fans did not want to see the team go bankrupt. , he sees his acquisition as nothing more than an act of giving back to the community.

But in April this year, for the development of the team, Alam put forward an incredible proposal, that is to change the name of the team, Hull City changed to "Hull Tigers", the purpose of this change is to attract sponsorship for the team, However, the move was met with resistance from fans.

The names of many teams in the Premier League have a history of hundreds of years, and the sources are basically place names. For example, Everton is the Everton area of ​​​​Liverpool. Liverpool originally split from the Everton community and wanted to use Gae. Forton’s name, and then there was Everton in front of them, so they had to call it Liverpool. Fortunately, no one used Liverpool at the time, and fortunately, Everton was not added. At least Liverpool sounded more domineering to the ears of Chinese fans.

Changing the name is like changing history. Many fans think this is not enough. Alam’s starting point is really for the good of the team. After all, how far can my fucking money bring Hull City? More attractive Sponsorship is the most important thing. He claimed that if he could not change the name, he would sell the team, but the FA really rejected him. Alam is a little disappointed now, maybe the day of selling the team is not far away.

In the transfer market in the summer, Hull City is also a small-scale one, there are ins and outs, and the strength is average.

Their performance in the new season is also mediocre. Currently, they have accumulated 10 points and are ranked in the middle. Lotley's state still disappoints everyone as always.

After the game, the title of "parallel importer" spread like wildfire. Balotelli didn't seem to care about this title. What did he care about? !

Zhang Yuan is not angry about the draw. The bad news is that Liverpool can only score one point. The good news is that Liverpool's rotten defense line did not concede a goal. Well, Hull City's ability is indeed limited, and Zhang Yuan will be more disappointed. I'm not so disappointed anymore. Anyway, the first thing he needs to do is to do his own thing well. I really can't think too much about the team's results, it's too heart-burning.

He cares more about Balotelli, he doesn't want Balotelli to fall, he thinks that the serious Balotelli has the ability to bring more to the team.

"Mario, tell me, what do you care about?! Don't you feel anxious about parallel imports?!" Zhang Yuan and Balotelli met for dinner at an Italian restaurant.

"Why should I be anxious?! When I perform badly, someone will always make irresponsible remarks! I don't care about other people's opinions!" Balotelli said as if he didn't care.

Zhang Yuan is irrefutable. There are too many gossiping people in this world. Balotelli can't always be made to look at other people's eyes.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yuan said: "We are still young, don't you have any pursuits?!"

"Hehe, why didn't I pursue it?! What did I come here for?! I hope I can help the team! But look, I can't always be trusted, whether it's Rodgers or Haipi Yah, do they trust me?! No, they don't trust me at all!" Balotelli complained.

Hey, hey, I don't like to hear what you say. Zhang Yuan's perception of the situation is not just like this.

"Hmph, what did you do?! Don't keep putting the blame on others! You're fine?! You're lazy in training and not active on the court. How do you expect others to trust you?!" Zhang Yuan snorted and asked back.

"Also, let me ask you! What is the result of you waiting for the ball?! It's not that you make mistakes again and again, and you don't score an empty goal! Brother, don't say that others don't trust you! There are so many players in this team, the head coach doesn't have to Choose you! He has many choices, maybe you will never start again next time, and Lambert may be in front of you!" What Zhang Yuan doesn't like is Balotelli, he feels like he is on the court , The team's offense must be centered on him, how is this possible, he himself is not in a good state, should he let others revolve around him? !
Balotelli was silent.

"Are you planning to spend your career in Liverpool like this?!" Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

Of course not, coming here is really not for money. Balotelli joined with a salary cut. He hopes to get things that are not as simple as money.

"Okay, now the team's situation is bad, we really need to unite and trust each other! Don't worry about the coach's attitude anymore, you should be yourself and be positive! Run more on the court, train harder, You are talented, but talent is not everything! If you want, we can try to set a small goal, such as breaking your scoring drought! And then achieve some big goals, so that you can earn trust step by step, okay? !” Zhang Yuan persuaded earnestly.

Balotelli was moved. He once thought that Zhang Yuan was no longer his good friend, but now Zhang Yuan's sincerity still moved him.

"Okay, just listen to you, buddy! Let's work hard together!" Balotelli made up his mind to work hard.

As Zhang Yuan expected, Hyypia was obviously disappointed with Balotelli. In the League Cup in midweek, Balotelli did not get a minute of playing time. The main center was replaced by Lambert. With many minutes on the bench, Liverpool narrowly beat Swansea 1:2 at home and played against Bournemouth in the next round.

The decoration of the mansion that Zhang Yuan bought in Formby has finally been completed. Anna has come to Liverpool during this period of time. Her mistress needs her to buy many things in the house, and Zhang Yuan's sister and brother-in-law are also packing things in the country. They are going to Traveling abroad to live, many things need time to deal with, such as shops also need to be dealt with.

This was also the reason why they had delayed arriving in England for so long, but now it was almost done, and Zhang Yuan's parents had returned to the countryside.

The old couple of Rossi took Zhang Yufei to inspect the mansion area, and felt that the living environment here was much better than that of Turin. Zhang Yuan suggested that they could stay, but Mr. Rossi still refused, saying that he planned to return to In Rimini, I can visit my granddaughter from time to time in the future, and forget about staying longer.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, why is this person like this when he is older? !I want to stay in my hometown. After all, my parents and Rossi are not very old, so the family-loving complex is quite heavy.

Because of his busy schedule and a lot of distractions from his family, Zhang Yuan took a lot of light on things on the pitch. Liverpool's situation can't be said to have improved, it can only be said to be in such a bad state.

One day, Zhang Yuan called Qian Huan to care about the team's coach selection. Qian Huan obviously let go of the team's performance during this period, and asked with a smile: "Do you think Hypia is not good?!"
