Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 225

Liverpool has 7 league rounds left, and the Red Army, who has no European missions and has been eliminated in all domestic cups, can go all out.

The remaining 7 opponents are all mid-lower teams, which pose little threat to the normal Liverpool. It can be said that among the major Premier League giants, Liverpool's schedule advantage is greater than that of Chelsea, the son of destiny.

Chelsea will also go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United in the 33rd round, while Liverpool's only disadvantage is that they have 7 away games in 4 games.

Klopp had different ideas about the remaining 7 games, and he also told Zhang Mai in time.

Mane is absent, and Coutinho will be on top of the forward line. Beautiful statistics and playing time will allow the Brazilian to sell for a better price in the summer.

Zhang Mai still serves as a central midfielder, and the midfielder formed with Henderson, Chamberlain and Wijnaldum will control the Red Army from capsizing in the gutter.

Robertson and Arnold will also get more opportunities to play, Milner will also develop in the midfield, and Karius, Pickford, Grujic, Sturridge, Sakho, etc. who are idle most of the time will also get more opportunities to play. Will take turns.

In a word, Klopp wants to inspect the players in the remaining games with low intensity, and properly adapt to the various formations of the main players and substitutes, so as to prepare in advance for the reinforcement and cleaning work in the summer.

It is worth mentioning that Klopp finally emphasized that Mbappe will try his best to play 7 games, because the French guy also showed some signs of summer thinking.

Only then did Zhang Mai remember that Mbappe moved out a few days ago because his parents came to Liverpool again to accompany their son.

The inertia of the great wheel of history is really powerful!

Zhang Mai remembered that Mbappe in his memory transferred to Paris and joined Neymar in the summer of 2017. The sky-high transfer fee and salary blinded the eyes of young players around the world.

Let's find out about Mbappe, of course, just to find out about Mbappe's latest trends.

Can I still prevent the French guy from going to Paris.Then into the French team and then lift the World Cup in Russia?

Of course, it is impossible for Mbappe to become the Golden Boot winner in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, because of me, Zhang Mai from Huaguo!

When Zhang Mai asked Mbappe, as expected, the parents of the French boy came here to be lobbyists for Paris, and his father seemed to want to take back the brokerage rights.

The most important thing is that the French coach Didier Deschamps said that he hopes that Mbappe will return to Ligue 2018 to develop. If everything goes well, priority will be given to recruiting Mbappe into the French national team for the [-] World Cup.

Mbappe treats Zhang Mai frankly, and Zhang Mai can only wish the French boy all the best of luck!
Zhang Mai also carried forward the spirit of "good people do it to the end" and asked Mbappe not to be under pressure and just play the remaining few games well.

Zhang Mai himself will communicate with Crott about the transfer of the agency rights, and the transfer will be completed in the summer at the latest.

Satisfied with Mbappe, Zhang Mai can only lament the background and strength of French football. The only pity is that after winning the championship in 2018, the champion players, including Mbappe, were all sluggish. The more serious Pogba and Gerry Ziman is even worse.

……

On the afternoon of April 4th, the 8nd round of the English Premier League continued. Liverpool challenged and reversed Stoke City away.

Stoke City, who are playing at home, suffered a three-game losing streak in the league recently, and the team still has a lot of pressure to relegation.
