Liverpool are the second-crotch team, and there are not many teams in Pot 3 and Pot 4 this year, with Liverpool in a group with Bayern Munich, Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb.

Needless to say, Bayern Munich was the one who kept Liverpool out of the semi-finals last season, and they are also recognized as one of the top three teams in Europe, but last season, they did not make it to the end, and were eliminated by Barcelona, who have the MSN combination, and they are the undisputed group favorites in the group.

Olympiacos is a traditional powerhouse in Greece and a regular in the Champions League, and Dinamo Zagreb is in a similar situation to Olympiacos, a powerhouse in the Croatian domestic league and a regular team in the Champions League.

Both teams have a certain ability to disrupt the situation, but the overall strength is still far behind Bayern Munich and Liverpool, if Liverpool can be more stable, these two teams may not be able to pose a threat to them.

After the draw, Zhang Yuan also accepted an interview with the media, he said: "The teams that can enter the Champions League group stage are certainly not teams that can be underestimated, but objectively I think we will become the natural favorites to qualify, I believe that we have the ability to deal with such a complex situation, and we also have the ability to complete the qualification goal!"

Many people in Liverpool are not as confident as Zhang Yuan, Klopp has some worries, the team feels okay when facing weak teams, but when facing strong teams, some problems have been exposed, such as not doing enough in running-in, overlapping positions and other problems.

However, now is not the time for him to worry about this, he is more worried that the problems exposed in Arsenal will once again disadvantage Liverpool against West Ham United, and he has focused on tactical drills in these days of training, mainly in positioning.

West Ham United is commonly known as the Hammers, last season's coach was the Premier League's old fritter Sam Allardyce, he has been in charge of West Ham United since 2011, under his leadership, West Ham United's results in recent years have become better and better, gradually out of the ranks of relegation professionals, and they won 13th place in the league last season.

Due to considerable disagreements between Sam Allardyce and the West Ham hierarchy over the renewal of his contract, it was finally announced in May this year, before the league ended, that he would not renew his contract.

West Ham United brought in former Croatia manager Bilic, who was quite successful in his time in charge of the Croatian national team, and under his leadership, Croatia played very well at Euro 08, but in 2012 they were a bit unlucky, and later the two teams in the final, Italy and Spain, were in the same group, and returned home after the group game.

But this did not affect Bilic's fame, which has risen in the past two cup tournaments, and after 2012 he did not coach the Croatian national team and went to Moscow in the snow.

West Ham United found the manager after parting peacefully with Sam Allardyce, and Bilic certainly had no reason to refuse, but the Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world, and he also played for West Ham United, and in order to help West Ham United relegation, he postponed his report to Everton, which can be described as a model of compassion and righteousness.

This season, West Ham United has not been small in the transfer market, bringing in a lot of players, including Zhang Yuan's old teammate Ogbonna.

Ogbonna went to Juventus with the intention of replacing Barzagli, but he didn't expect the BBC combination to be too strong, not only to occupy the starting role in the national team, but also to Juventus, what is that, the aging Barzagli is getting more and more spiritual, Ogbonna can't do him at all, staying in Juventus is estimated to be a 10,000-year substitute, plus this season Juventus has recycled the star Rugani, and he will have fewer opportunities to play.

With the European Championship next year coming up, Ogbonne will certainly want to make sure he gets his playing time, and leaving is a very viable option, with West Ham spending around €10 million to bring him in.

After the start of the new season, West Ham United played three games and only picked up three points, and Bilic had a lot of pressure on him, but Klopp did not dare to underestimate them, because West Ham beat Arsenal in the first game of the new season, which is their only win now, one defeat to Leicester City led by Agnelli and one defeat to Bournemouth of Eddie Howey.

Jurgen Klopp has studied West Ham's game in detail, and compared to last season, Klopp feels that West Ham's tactical style of play, the quality of counter-attacks has become more efficient, and the addition of Payette has greatly strengthened West Ham United's lethal passes.

I have to say that Payette's new signing is very important!

In the tactical class, Klopp also emphasized the importance of Payette many times, and made a special targeted deployment for him, Arsenal was deceived, there is no reason for Liverpool to continue to fall in the pit of West Ham United, after all, their strength is far inferior to ours.

On the pitch, West Ham United really habitually wanted to find Payette to organize the attack, but Liverpool specially sent Emre Can to mark him today, just to prevent Payet from easily turning around and interfering with Payette's passing accuracy.

As for Liverpool's attacking side, Liverpool's state in this game is much better than the previous game, just seven minutes into the game, Coutinho received a pass from Alli, dodged a West Ham United player, and kicked through the door guarded by Randolph in his accustomed position.

Then the game turned into a very funny situation, in the 34th minute, Emre Can fouled Payette, Payet was 28 meters in front, a free kick on the goal, poor Mignolet made a fatal mistake, and the goal that was not very fast was actually leaked into the net by him from under the crotch!

The ball was so lost that Klopp shook his head, and Zhang Yuan was so angry that he wanted to scold!

But this free kick is not the only free kick scored in this game, soon in the half of West Ham United, in the 41st minute, Zhang Yuan was also a free kick at about 28 meters, directly falling the leaf ball to hit the goal, this time it was not a dramatic loss, but Zhang Yuan's shot quality was really high, and there was no way to hit Randolph!

In the 54th minute of the second half, it was another free kick, Zhang Yuan passed, Deegan jumped up in the middle and sent the ball into the door of West Ham United again, and Liverpool expanded the score to two goals!

After a period of time, Liverpool attacked fiercely, but there was always a little bit away from the goal, in the 80th minute, Klopp began to make some substitution adjustments, Zhang Yuan was also replaced, but the situation on the field began to change, in the 82nd minute, Zhang Yuan just got off the field less than two minutes after that, Payette got a free kick 25 meters outside the penalty area, the position is slightly different from just now, but Payette's free kick kung fu is still quite good, this time it is a direct goal, Mignolet did not make any mistakes, but Payet's shot is of high quality, so that West Ham United brought the score closer！

It's not Emre Can who fouled Payette this time, it's Degan!

Degan is really depressed, Emrejan is out of position, Deegan has to kick, who knows that it will lead to such a result?!

Zhang Yuan stood on the bench and watched the last ten minutes of the frightened ball, which Liverpool finally won 3:2, but the result was really thrilling.

Jurgen Klopp said after the game that his players were a bit careless and should not have been so inattentive even with a two-goal lead, and he criticized Emrejan by name.

Emrejan is also a little unlucky, on the whole, his defense of Payette is relatively successful, but the key two mistakes, let Payette score two goals, how not to be depressed, back in the locker room also lingered, said: "That guy's free kick kung fu is simply superb!

Gerrard and Zhang Yuan are relieved to him, and it's not the end of the world, as long as we can win the game and kill their nerve knife, West Ham United is indeed a bit of a nerve knife, the ball can be scored but they themselves can't tell how many they will concede, the last game with Bournemouth, they scored three, but at the same time, they were also scored four goals!
