Zhang Yuan finally returned to the lineup again in this game, and he was a starter, and it can be seen that Rodgers attaches much importance to this game, whether it is the United States or England, this is a double red club, and it must be taken seriously.

And Zhang Yuan also played a twelve-point spirit for this game, hoping to start his Liverpool journey with a small trophy.

But the result of this game was not as he wanted, Liverpool lost to Manchester United 1:3, both teams were more cautious in this game, and they didn't get many opportunities, but Liverpool's absolute chances were obviously more, but they didn't grasp it, Zhang Yuan's morale was very high, but the state was still average, and he was caught in the confrontation with Phil Jones and Smalling, and there was still a lack of tacit understanding with his teammates.

Despite the loss, Liverpool and Zhang Yuan quickly put the defeat behind them, given the insignificance of the game itself.

Rodgers gave the players a day off, and Zhang Yuan naturally ran to find his girlfriend Anna.

The whole Liverpool squad then left the United States and returned to Liverpool to return to the Melwood training base.

The new Premier League season kicks off on 17 August, which means Liverpool only have about 10 days to prepare.

And Zhang Yuan's state and the tacit understanding of his teammates made Rodgers a little worried, and Zhang Yuan also felt that he had thought about the problem too simply.

Rodgers has no problem with big tactics, but he is not as detailed as Conte, Conte also has to dunk details in attack, but Rodgers does not, once Rodgers's offense reaches the frontcourt, it is completely based on the player's personal ability, there is no fixed routine, and it is under the influence of his thinking, leaving aside Gerrard Henderson in the midfield, anyone in the front court can advance with the ball.

After a long time, everyone is familiar with each other, this kind of offensive method is no problem, but it can give the opponent a feeling of being unguardable, but if it is a first-time goal like Zhang Yuan, it is simply a cheat, I don't know when they pass the ball and when they break through, so they can only slowly get acquainted with it.

Zhang Yuan is now worried about such a problem, Suarez may be better when he is there, everyone revolves around him, no matter how sudden, Suarez tries to stand in a favorable position to receive the ball, but after Suarez left, Zhang Yuan feels that this group of people is too scattered, of course, he is now more suspicious of the warm-up game and training game The players are not fixed and cause this phenomenon, he is now looking forward to Rodgers being able to clarify the main lineup.

Back in the UK, Liverpool staff took Zhang Yuan to see several houses on the outskirts of the city, Zhang Yuan chose a villa in Furby Town, this area is also the residence of many Liverpool players, and Degan, who accompanied him to see the houses, also lived here.

"The house is quite big and it meets your needs perfectly! But it's just a redecorating! Deegan commented.

"yes, no way!" Zhang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said that he was very sorry, he hoped to be able to reunite with his family as soon as possible, but now it seems that it can't be done, after all, the house is to live for a long time, and the decoration is not a big problem, but the size of the house, the internal and external infrastructure, he must be carefully selected.

Zhang Yuan asked Gerald if he had a suitable renovation team, and sought Gerald's help, hoping to complete the redecoration of the house within 3 months.

That's not a problem for Gerrard.

On 10 August, Liverpool played their final warm-up game of the new season at Anfield against Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga kicks off a week later than the Premier League, and Borussia Dortmund showed signs of decline last season, having been pulled down by Bayern by a whopping 19 points.

In this game, Liverpool completely broke out in the cheers of the home fans, beating Dortmund 4:0.

Zhang Yuan started the game, and scored two goals in this game, he still failed to form a good tacit understanding with his teammates, but he also frantically held the ball to advance, often did not do the work of a striker, dry midfield, Dortmund still can't deal with him, two goals one is a free kick in front of the direct penalty hit, the other is a personal dribble breakthrough after the goal score, in front of tens of thousands of Red Army fans, Zhang Yuan finally showed everyone what is called the world's first.

After this warm-up game, the Liverpool players were given two days off, and Zhang Yuan was supposed to stay to continue training, but he obviously missed his daughter more than training, so after the afternoon game, he flew to Turin in the evening.

The next morning, Zhang Yufei opened his eyes and saw his father, he was very happy, hugged Zhang Yuan's neck, and asked, "Dad, where have you been?!" I miss you so much! ”

"Hehe, Dad misses you too! Daddy is out at work! Zhang Yuan was so distressed, since Zhang Yufei realized it, she really hadn't been more than 10 days and had no father or mother by her side.

Zhang Yuan couldn't go out during the World Cup, but Zhang Yufei was brought by Anna, this time Anna was in the United States, Zhang Yuan went out for more than ten days and nearly half a month, and Zhang Yufei really missed his father.

"Dad, can you not work! Stay with me! Zhang Yufei suddenly cried again.

Zhang Yuan's eyes were also wet, alas, this girl is really, she is only more than two years old, and she speaks like a decent, which makes my father moved.

But then again, how long have I been away from you!

Zhang Yuan doesn't understand very well, the child is actually very recognizable at this stage, Zhang Yuan is his father, and the relationship between them makes Zhang Yufei closer to Zhang Yuan and very sticky to her.

Zhang Yuan didn't go anywhere that day, so he stayed at home with his daughter, played games with his daughter, and taught his daughter to learn Chinese.

However, this peace was destined to be broken, and in the afternoon Conte called Zhang Yuan and asked where Zhang Yuan was, Zhang Yuan said that he was in Turin, so he invited Zhang Yuan to have dinner with him.

Conte's invitation can't be missed, and besides, he's fine.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan and his daughter appeared at Conte's restaurant in Turin, along with Conte's wife and daughter, Zhang Yuan exchanged greetings with them, and they laughed at the young Zhang Yufei.

However, the last time this girl met them was in May, she obviously forgot about it, and hid in Zhang Yuan's arms.

With a timid expression, it was pitiful, and Conte's wife said: "Zhang Yuan, your daughter is so cute!" ”

"Thank you! Alicia! She's a little embarrassed! She'll be able to get along with Victoria later! Victoria is the daughter of Conte and Elisabeta, and she is only 6 years old now, and when she was curious, she saw Zhang Yufei and liked it very much, and insisted on sitting next to Zhang Yufei.

After a few pleasantries, everyone began to enjoy dinner, and Conte asked Zhang Yuan how he had recently arrived at his new club.

"Anyway, it's okay! It's not a good situation to be exact, and I need a little bit of time to get used to it! Let's hope it won't be too long! Zhang Yuan replied.

"Hey, you don't really need to adapt!" Conte said, "Don't look at me suspiciously, I'm telling the truth!" The Premier League is not very disciplined and not very detail-oriented, and they rely more on the individual in both attack and defence, which is just a little bit of my opinion! For a player like you, you don't need a lot of support from your teammates to play well! ”

Conte's words made Zhang Yuan a little confused, is the Premier League so unbearable?!

Looking at Zhang Yuan's puzzled face, Conte explained: "Other leagues pay more attention to integrity, and the Premier League actually has to do a little worse in this regard, but their offensive and defensive conversion speed is very fast, which is a big advantage for them. So in fact, their style is not necessarily worse than the whole, the key is to see who is in the team! ”

"If you look at the changes in the Premier League over the years, there are very few people who stick to traditional English football, and they are gradually changing, but in general they still maintain the most important characteristics of the past, confrontation, and the rhythm is bright! You are a fast striker, a striker who is very good at taking advantage of the opponent's gaps, and the rhythm of the Premier League is actually quite suitable for you, why do you need to adapt?! In my opinion, as long as your midfield team-mate can get the ball to your feet quickly, everything will do! You just need to be able to read your opponent's vulnerabilities in every match! ”
