Although Zhang Mai was not the starter, he was repeatedly assured by Crott that he would come off the bench, so he also came with the team.

Unlike South Korea and Japan, which have many soldiers and generals, Zhang Mai is already the only backbone and anti-defeat artifact of the Huazu team, so he must participate in the short-term joint training before the game and the chicken soup.

"The whole Liverpool team is full of fighting spirit and vows to keep the winning record!"

Huang Tao, who is in charge of the live broadcast of China Television, is mentally attached to the Red Army.

"It's hard to say, Zhang Mai didn't start, and Mane and Mbappe, who scored goals in the last game, didn't play either. No one knows if Kubird has changed?"

Zhan Jun who is only a fan of Zhang Mai but not the others is a ladle of cold water in his pocket.

Huang Tao:?? It was agreed to cooperate tacitly, and it was agreed not to tear each other down?

Uncle Zha's roar made Kubird, Sturridge and Chamberlain in the locker room bow their heads.

Changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Zhang Mai served as a central midfielder, allowing Mane and Mbappe to slip sideways, and pushed Firmino, who had disappeared for half the time, to the center forward position.
