Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 161 is a substitute again (thanks to book friend 5544 for the monthly ticket)
On August 8, Liverpool will play against Arsenal in the first round of the new season, and Zhang Mai will also meet his old enemy Ozil on the field.

The pre-season preparations for the Liverpool team are being carried out in an orderly manner. Klopp has now basically determined the main lineup for the season, and has only fine-tuned individual positions in the past few days.

The actual effect of the coexistence of Zhang Mai and Coutinho on the court is still not enough, the main reason is that Coutinho is unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Mai to pass.

Klopp immediately turned into a Croatian political commissar, doing the ideological work of the Brazilians desperately off the court, and talked a lot about it.

Helplessly, the short and tall Coutinho was born stubborn. He didn't refute, refuse to accept, and even didn't say a word in front of the uncle, but he still went his own way after playing.

Coutinho's "three no's" style has also affected the teammates who play together in the team. Liverpool's midfield players are now a little confused about how to play, and they have to think about life before passing the ball. Neither Mai nor Coutinho seem to be doing well.

The opening game is approaching. In order not to affect the entire team, Klopp had to separate the two players, that is, only one person can be placed on the field at the same time.

On the surface, it was the Brazilian's struggle that forced Uncle Zha to compromise, which objectively squeezed out Zhang Mai's playing time, which can be regarded as revenge for the loss of the No. 10 jersey.

But actually...

"Coutinho is still at the top! Who is Klopp, will he succumb to the pressure of the players? His true colors are his perseverance and decisiveness, and he still remembers... oh, Benteke last year? "

Zhang Mai didn't fight or grab or speak in this matter, and everything obeyed Klopp's arrangement.

"Uncle Zha sticks to the style of high pressing and quick play. You are so unique, aren't you looking for Shi?"

Seeing the high-spirited Coutinho showing off his skills on the sidelines, Zhang Mai was unable to complain in his heart.

The turmoil between Zhang Mai and Coutinho also affected the atmosphere of the whole team, and the relationship between the old and new players that had been eased became subtle.

"Crybabies get milk!"

Should we have a fight too?

In the training game on the second day, No. 20 Lallana attacked the rookie Wijnaldum, who overlapped with his own position, and was immediately suppressed by Klopp.

The team was banned for two games!This time the old players understood that Klopp is still the same Klopp.

This delicate atmosphere within the team came to a head when the squad was announced the day before the game.

All 9 new aids have entered the squad, and some old players feel bitter!

Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Mbappe and Mane all became starters, while Zhang Mai, Karius, Chamberlain and Klavan were substitutes.

The 5000 million pounds of new aid have all become substitutes, what else can we say?

The old players who didn't make the big list began to feel sweeter.

Zhang Mai felt at ease with himself as a substitute, and found No. 66 Arnold who was also on the substitute list when everyone was discussing.

"Mbappe, come here! Who is older between you two?"

Zhang Mai, Mbappe and Arnold, the three "98-year" juniors quickly got together, chatting and communicating without barriers.

The old team members who saw him remembered that Zhang Mai hadn't arrived yet, and couldn't help but look down on Coutinho who was complacent.

He is not yet full, but he is the holder of the historical record of goals and assists and the MVP of last season. What is there to be proud of if you are fighting to win a starter.

Arnold's entry into the squad is naturally due to Zhang Mai. The original right winger in Zhang Mai's memory will not appear in the Premier League until the end of 2017.

Crot found Zhang Mai before announcing the roster, told Zhang Mai to serve as a substitute, and hoped that Zhang Mai would not care about the overall situation of the team.

Don't care about it?Why don't you tell the Brazilians about this!
Zhang Mai, who looked aggrieved and depressed, also took the opportunity to put forward his own request: he was bored on the bench, so he had to find a friend of the same age to accompany him.

So Arnold, the pink rookie who had just been promoted from the U21 team, appeared on the squad.

"With the three of them here, Liverpool's frontcourt and right flank can be guaranteed for ten years without any worries!"

Cloth, who was stuck in the corner of the locker room, expressed emotion.

"Well! I also secretly revealed to Arnold the reason why he was on the bench. The three 'post-98s' can definitely be combined."

Kravitz on the side echoed, but immediately raised his own confusion.

"Jurgen, you are not someone who is at the mercy of players, how could..."

"Hey! There is no way. Zhang Mai has Hua Guo to participate in the world preliminaries. He will miss more than ten league games throughout the season. Several new players in the frontcourt have to get used to it slowly. A club like Liverpool will not allow the team Missed European competition for two seasons in a row."

Klopp was a little helpless, but there was still a cold light in his firm eyes:
"Wait until the new players get used to it in the second half of the season, and the winter window will be able to strengthen the shortcomings in time. I hope Coutinho will not be so willful!"

"It would be great if every player took care of the overall situation like Zhang Mai!"

Kravitz, who is familiar with Klopp's temper, expressed "hehe" to the discipline and overall situation of the South American players.

After the training of the day, the players went home early in time to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's tough away game.

Zhang Mai and Mane, Van Dijk, Mbappe and Chamberlain came together, and also brought in the newly acquainted Arnold.

"Zhang Mai, you can't even start the MVP of last season, let's talk to Klopp!"

The impatient Mane jumped out first.

"It's not very good to find a coach, why don't we isolate Coutinho on the field?"

The black-bellied Mbappe is obviously more thoughtful.

"It's okay to be a substitute! I think a substitute means that you may play at any time."

A happy Arnold didn't expect much.

"Haha! Looking for a coach? You want to imitate the Brazilians and make trouble for Uncle Scumbag all day long. Do you think Uncle Scumbag's beard is not long enough?"

"Isolate the Brazilian? Get rid of the big brothers and think about it seriously. Is the midfielder afraid that the striker will not pass the ball? You have to worry that the midfielder will not be able to send ammunition."

"Being on the bench is better than not being on the roster, but playing is the kingly way. Arnold, you have to have a positive and enterprising heart."

Zhang Mai laughed when he heard the words, and then refuted these bad ideas of the brothers one by one.

"Okay! Zhang Mai, you are right, I will support you no matter what!"

Van Dijk, who has always spoken little, also expressed his support for Zhang Mai.

"Hey! Don't cause trouble for Zhang Mai. Can a player bought for 5000 million pounds not be used? Besides, Zhang Mai is... also very skilled in martial arts."

Chamberlain was the oldest among the crowd, and he had been in the Premier League for the longest time, so he naturally understood what Uncle Scum was thinking.

But when I think that I am also a victim of Zhang Mai's force, I feel a little suffocated.

"Okay, we don't care about Zhang Mai, Chamberlain, come and tell us how Zhang Mai broke your Arsenal last time."

Mentioning Zhang Mai's force value, he immediately put aside everything to the martial-minded Mane, and began to stab Chamberlain's heart.

"Yeah! I heard that a bunch of you were killed by Zhang Mai. The specific situation is..."

They were all hot-blooded young people, and immediately surrounded the disgusted and kind-hearted Chamberlain, who seemed to be breaking the casserole and asking the truth.

"I……"

Chamberlain was already cursing MMP in his heart.

It was originally about the fact that Zhang Mai couldn't start, so why did he transfer it to himself?
You must know that I was just an innocent victim in the last Zhang Mai spike incident!
