Balotelli didn't even enter the squad in this game, because he was late, and not being in the squad was a punishment for him, but because he just came, he was not familiar with the team at all, and there were Zhang Yuan and Lambert in the forward position, and it was not a big problem to have him, Balotelli knew this, but seeing Liverpool's wonderful performance, Balotelli was still a little itchy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yuan really belittled him to nothing, Balotelli is not a person who really lives in his own world, he still cares about the opinions of the outside world, otherwise he would not have made a joke of "why always me?!" after the game in Manchester City.

And Zhang Yuan has only played a few games, and the outside public opinion has linked him with Liverpool's savior, three assists and two goals, there is no better answer than this, if Pochettino was criticized by the media to be off the altar, then Zhang Yuan continued to be deified by the English media with a performance.

Balotelli also wanted to receive such praise, so he took the initiative to text his team-mates after the game to congratulate him, and he did not follow the team to White Hart Lane.

Zhang Yuan did not return to Liverpool, but directly from London to return to China, and it is the national team break again, the Chinese team will play two friendly matches in this country's match day, one against Kuwait and one against Jordan, both playing in China.

After the World Cup, Coach Fu received a lot of criticism, and as a result, the Football Association also decided to change the coach, and finally they announced a new coach at the end of August, and the Frenchman Perrin became the new coach of the national team.

These two friendlies were his debut since taking office, so he is still very serious about training for the 2015 Asian Cup.

For the national team, many coaches do not have time to slowly transform, and Perrin will no longer use the tactics of the previous Chinese team after he came to power, saying that the tactics of the Chinese team in the past are very complex and changeable, and the passive position depends on the situation of the opponent, and Perrin does not think so, he believes that the national team should establish its own style, select players in this style, and run in.

The two friendlies looked okay, and the Chinese team won the opponent in both games, and Zhang Yuan played as a striker in both games, rather than playing in the midfield position.

During the training of the national team, Peilan and Zhang Yuan had a serious exchange, and told Zhang Yuan a lot of his own opinions, Zhang Yuan could not say whether it was good or bad, the tactical arrangement was the coach's business, and now the time is still a period of time before the Asian Cup, and Peilan has relatively time to change.

Zhang Yuan just expressed his support for him on behalf of the players.

In the second game against Jordan, Zhang Yuan only played half of the game, this is Perrin for his good, Zhang Yuan received this love, the friendly match is not particularly important, he returned to China so far away, and he is about to leave for Liverpool, Perrin also knows that Liverpool is also counting on Zhang Yuan, and he can't really call Zhang Yuan as a donkey.

At the same time, the Premier League transfer market has ended, in addition to the La Liga giants and Bayern and Paris's transfers every summer, the most eye-catching is the transfer of the Premier League, the Premier League club is very rich, and the small club can take a large amount of money to transfer, so the Premier League market is not short of big money.

Liverpool's transfer investment is the highest in the Premier League, but their reinforcement is also very problematic, obviously their weaker link is the midfield, but the team spends a lot of money on the frontcourt players, Zhang Yuan will not say, Balotelli and Lallana and others The transfer fee is not low.

There is also a lot of movement among other giants, Arsenal has also begun to throw a lot of money, Wenger is willing to spend money to buy people, which is not a good thing for other giants, Manchester United is always wealthy, Van Gaal is still buying and buying after his arrival, spending much more than Moyes, Manchester City is spending a little less this year, Chelsea has also bought a lot of players, but they have sold a lot of players, and overall there is a slight surplus.

Mourinho also needs a striker, and he thought of Zhang Yuan at the time, but he had some doubts about whether Zhang Yuan could adapt to the Premier League, because Zhang Yuan's header skills were not particularly good, and he regretted not making an offer when he saw Zhang Yuan's performance in the previous rounds.

But what he didn't know was that Abramovich had made a price!

Back in Liverpool, there is not much time left for Liverpool to prepare for Aston Villa, Zhang Yuan is very tired, too tired, such a rush.

Their rivals Aston Villa have had little movement in the transfer market this summer, which has a lot to do with their American bosses, when they bought Aston Villa in 2006, Randy Lerner was still a little ambitious, and even a little bit of investment, Martin O'Neill's tenure Villa's results were still good, hovering in the upper middle position, but it was always a little bit short of fourth, and then there was a tragedy.

Because of the purchase of a lot of players, the salary structure of the Villa team is very unreasonable in the club's operation, once accounting for 90% of the operating income, and the team's loss reached nearly 300 million pounds, and it is not easy for such a team to live in the Premier League.

In these years, the main job of the Villa team is to deal with redundancy, buy players every year, Lerner also has no expectations for the team, does not want to play anymore, does not want to invest money, and puts a price tag of more than $200 million on the market for Villa, who wants to take it!

With such a non-playing owner, Villa really has nothing to do, they were just thrilling relegation last season, and they haven't spent much this summer, and the team's strength has become further weakened.

Villa is famous in the history of the Premier League, because they are one of the seven standing committees, that is, the team that has never been relegated after the start of the Premier League, and in the early years, when the English team dominated Europe, Villa also won the Champions League, the club was established early, in 1874, not only the Champions League, but also a strong team in English football in the early days, won 7 league titles, 7 FA Cup titles, 20 years ago, it was also the traditional power of the Premier League.

And because of its glorious past, Aston Villa is also quite favored by English politics and aristocrats, and even the current prince is a fan of the Villa team.

But even so, Villa's decline is considered inevitable by many people, but it is such a team, since the start of the new season, 2 wins and 1 draw, with 7 points, and the ranking is still ahead of Liverpool.

And the Villa team is Liverpool's bitter master, in the poor Villa team in the record is not scared of Liverpool at all, the last 5 times at Anfield Stadium against Villa, Liverpool only got one victory, last season at home Liverpool was forced to draw by the Villa team.

Due to the international break, Rodgers made some changes in this game, Zhang Yuan was still on the top of the attack, but Raheem Sterling's place was replaced by Balotelli.

Villa's current manager is Paul Lambert, Lambert has been in charge for the third season, the first two seasons were in which he led the team to a thrilling 15th place in the league, and this season has been good at least from the beginning.

Lambert is also bitter in his heart, there is no money and no one, he has to build Aston Villa into a team that has always defended and counterattacked, Abban Lajo is extremely fast, Lambert has made him at the front as a counterattack knife in recent seasons, and the others spend most of their time defending.

Liverpool's last game against Tottenham was very direct, this game Aston Villa from the beginning of the single-minded defense, for Lambert the most important thing is to score, even a point is good, attack, rely on counter-attacks and set-pieces.

Villa's luck was good, 9 minutes, Villa corner kick into the box, Senderos first nodded unsuccessfully, Abang Lajo fell to the ground in the scuffle, the ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal, and they took the lead in the away game.

Liverpool then launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa's goal, with Lambert's side focusing on their own half.
