Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 175 Against the old club
The Hua Guo team won two consecutive victories in the top 9 matches in September, and it was the top two teams in Asia that overcame it. Naturally, there was joy in the country.

From Lippi to every player of the Huazu team has become a national hero and a treasure of businessmen, and various awards and commercial endorsements are pouring in.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Zhang Mai. The day after the game, Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin boarded the flight back to the UK.

Because of Zhang Yulin's father's relationship, he still has inextricable connections with the domestic business community, and Zhang Mai's principle is not to accept any domestic commercial business for the time being, so as not to get involved in domestic favors.

"You are still leveling up now, try to minimize your dealings with the domestic business community, Huachao's gang of waste materials are the best example!"

Zhang Mai put Zhang Yulin on the plane back to England with one sentence.

"Zhang Mai, I feel like I lost a hundred million this time."

Zhang Yulin, who was named and praised by the official media, is still very sober. At most, he is a little envious of the daily progress of his teammates in the national team.

"One hundred million? Improving your skills is more important than anything else! Can you imagine that Mbappe can get an annual salary of 6000 million euros in the future?"

Zhang Mai's words made Zhang Yulin's mouth shut.

……

After the two return to Liverpool, they will report to the team respectively, and will start the tense life of the British League.

Zhang Mai doesn't know how the situation in Tranmere is, but Qatar coach Carreno has been fired for losing two games in a row and is on his way to the UK.

Liverpool has only participated in one round of the league after Zhang Mai returned to China. September 9th is the FA cup day. Now Zhang Mai still has time to participate in the fourth round of the league on September 4th.

In the third round of the league on August 8, Liverpool challenged Tottenham as a guest at White Hart Lane, and finally lost 27-1, suffering their first defeat of the season.

The reason for the loss is also very clear. Coutinho's unique performance caused Tottenham to succeed in two counterattacks, making Mane who scored the first goal in vain.

This made the scumbag who still had fantasies about the Brazilians completely give up. Counting that Zhang Mai will miss 4 league games this season due to the world preliminaries, Klopp has already prepared for these 4 games. Prepare.

Zhang Mai put on the yellow vest representing the main force during the team training, and led the main lineup to smash the substitute team led by Coutinho.

The return of Zhang Mai gave Klopp a decision. In the squad list announced after training on September 9, Coutinho did not even enter the bench.

Zhang Mai, Wijnaldum and Chamberlain formed the main midfield lineup, captain Henderson, Emre Can, Lallana and Lucas were in rotation, Coutinho and Grujic, 25 No. Branagan became the last substitute.

Mane, Firmino and Mbappe are the main selections for the forward line. No. 24 Sturridge, No. 27 Origi and No. 28 Ings are regular rotations and substitutes. There is nothing about the Brazilian on the front line. .

范迪克领衔后防线，6号洛夫伦和17号克拉万、19号马蒂普轮换，2号克莱因和7号米尔纳分镇左右，18号莫雷诺和66号阿诺德轮换。

The goalkeeper position is still in the territory of the No. 1 Karius and the old goalkeeper No. 22 Mignolet. Uncle Zha will give them a reasonable and fair opportunity to compete.

Coutinho was cold, and Klopp bravely took over the burden of the cold war with the Brazilian national team's first-choice midfielder.

"How to do?"

At this moment, Coutinho, who is only worried about his position in the national team, discusses countermeasures with his agent.

"No rush! Check back later, when Liverpool's performance declines, Klopp will beg you in turn."

Coutinho's agent is his own brother, and the non-professional Brazilian agent has an enthralling confidence in his talented younger brother.
