Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 153 Intra-team competition

After a full summer break, there was a lot going on on the first day of the club's official opening.

The players are busy getting acquainted with their new teammates and sorting out their closets, while the coaching staff keeps an eye on the players' physical fitness and status and adjusts their preparation plans appropriately.

A simple physical condition test was carried out on the lawn in the morning. Players with abnormal data were retained by the coaching staff. Vigorous seafood like Zhang Mai and Mbappe who have been training can go home early. The official training will not start until tomorrow. .

"Zhang Mai, I think today's big meeting is okay, but the big names in the team are a bit cold."

Unexpectedly, Mbappe is still a sensitive man who observes meticulously, and has a clear understanding of the seemingly harmonious freshman meeting.

"Of course, our new players are used by the coach to replace the weak ones. No matter whether they are big players or small players, none of the old players will sincerely welcome new players."

Along with Van Dijk and Mane, Zhang Mai deliberately raised his voice:

"But what does this have to do with us? With the strength of the four of us, just listen to Klopp and don't pay attention to other people's whining."

"It's the first time for me to play for a giant like Liverpool, and I'm always a little uneasy."

Mane is still a poor child who first entered the Golden Palace, and told Zhang Mai his true feelings, and Van Dijk on the side also had a sympathetic expression.

"The giants are good, but what kind of trouble have these people made the Red Army? Last season's ranking couldn't catch up with our old civilian club."

After Zhang Mai finished speaking, seeing several people seemed to have realized something, he quickly added another sentence:
"There are a lot of people in Liverpool, Klopp doesn't want it; last season, Klopp picked us for the players of the team ranked ahead of Liverpool, which shows that we are the real sons of Liverpool!"

"Of course, as long as you understand this kind of truth, don't say it casually."

Zhang Mai saw that the eyes of the three people started to light up, and they looked like they were about to burst out of the middle school, so he immediately took another injection of sedatives.

"The rivers and lakes are far away, we are still young, we behave in a low-key manner and do things in a high-key manner. If anyone wants to be dissatisfied with the superiority on the court, if he wants to play tricks off the court, hehe! Isn't there still my son of the storm!"

Zhang Mai thought about kneading a few people into a "superstar group", and naturally showed off his muscles appropriately.

"What trouble do I have at the club after that, can I ask you to help?"

Mane's reaction arc is obviously a bit long, but it just coincides with the way of flattery.

"Does it matter? I'm a local, and my combat power is N times that of you five scumbags. Your troubles may be nothing in my eyes!"

Zhang Mai embraced everything, and his heroic eyes looked forward to shine.

Um!Mane is straightforward, with admiration in his eyes; Mbappe is reserved, with a grateful expression; Van Dijk, who is as silent as a mountain, is also full of admiration.

The red, yellow and black F4 combination in Liverpool, I am the boss!This wave seems to be stable...

The whole team started regular training on the second day. The morning warm-up and physical fitness, technical grouping and half-court 5V5 match were all available, which made the old fritters in the team feel overwhelmed.

Before the lunch break, Klopp announced that in view of the tight preparation time before the game, only two warm-up games were arranged before the first game of the season on August 8.

The "Achterberg Cup" on August 8 (that is, tomorrow) and the Barcelona match at Wembley Stadium on August 3.

Therefore, after the lunch break, there will be intra-team competitions to determine the 22-man regular lineup for the two warm-up matches and even the league.

You kidding me, even the jersey number has not been determined in just a few days, even if the opponent is the Barcelona Cosmos, the warm-up match is similar to the training show.

The daring Zhang Mai, who is a high-tech artist, complained about Uncle Zha's bluff in his heart, and on the surface he had to remind a few "F4" colleagues:

"Perform well, the main force of the season is none other than you!"

The game in the team must first be divided into groups. The "F4" of Zhang Mai and others was indeed divided into the same team, and the remaining positions were all rookies and bench players from last season.

Looking at the other team, almost all of them are the main lineup of last season. It seems that Uncle Zha is going to make trouble!

The frontcourt generals led by Coutinho have their nostrils up in the sky, and they look like they are sure of winning;

Emre Can's midfielder is full of murderous looks, and Lallana and Lucas, who have always claimed to be technical midfielders, also look complacent;
What about the back line?Oh sorry, I don't think I saw it.

Liverpool, which ranked ninth last season, was as leak-proof as a sieve, and it was nothing in my eyes!

Is it because of the ancient bonus of the Red Army?Although Zhang Mai didn't understand why his opponent was so confident, he still paid great attention to tactics.

"Chris, remember that the opposite team is only No.9 in the Premier League. I think the entire penalty area should be your private territory. Zero seals are no problem!"

Zhang Mai first gave a wave of chicken blood to the German goalkeeper who had just arrived and was eager to perform.

"Use your body to kill and kill the Brazilians, and pay special attention not to let Coutinho have a chance to shoot from the front of the penalty area!"

Klavan and Van Dijk, the combination of "one old and one young, experience and talent" stared at Coutinho and Firmino, the Brazilian duo, and the opponent's offensive was more than half gone;

"The enemy's offensive is fierce. Please the two full-back brothers must pay attention to defense and try to block the opponent's offensive line as much as possible."

Even the 30-year-old Milner will have to work as a full-back for another year. Don't count on these two guys who are sitting on their buttocks. Thank goodness for being able to do their job as a full-back.

"The midfielder also fights with his body. Chamberlain must keep an eye on Emre Can! Keep an eye on his side splits and direct passes, and let him shoot from long distances."

The midfielder has to rely on his own hard work, retreat a lot to tie Lallana and Lucas, Emre Can, I think you can shoot down the passing planes in the sky.

"No matter where I get the ball on the field, Mane and Mbappe remember to run open, and don't stick the ball after the opponent's defense is in position, and the rest is optional."

Zhang Mai's slapping made the old players of the same team look sideways, and they also did not avoid Klopp who was acting as the referee.

"Boss Uncle Scumbag, your newly recruited League Golden Boot is trying to steal your job. Don't you care about it?"

Grujic, a first-year student on the same team as Zhang Mai, was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Klopp turning a blind eye.

"Zhang Mai, how should I exert myself in the midfield?"

Grujic, who came back to his senses, simply turned a blind eye to Uncle Zha, and turned to ask Zhang Mai for advice.

"Ah! You are tall, and you are ready to change positions with me in time. As soon as I retreat, you will push the middle lane. Pay attention to the movement of the two sides at any time, and split the sides whenever you have a chance, otherwise you will get a few long-range shots. When attacking from the wing, you can also grab the high point of the header, believe me, it will find the top of your head."

Zhang Mai was very happy that the masses who demanded progress actively moved closer to him, so he explained to Grujic in detail.

I am a technical midfielder who is good at passing and dribbling. My height is just a fishy attribute, but you use me as a fulcrum in the penalty area!

The Serbian had a little internal injury, but was quickly diluted by the anticipation of a possible goal, and readily accepted Zhang Mai's arrangement.

With 8 new and 3 old, Zhang Mai quickly settled his own affairs, but finally discovered that there was one last fatal loophole in the lineup.

Who will be the brains and engine of this patchwork team?

Those who can do more work, I must be the handsome little prince of the East with wisdom as deep as the sea!

"Mr. Klopp, our side is ready and waiting for your opening whistle at any time."

After tidying up, Zhang Mai handed over the team's invitation to Uncle Zha...
