Before this meeting, Hyypia had already listened to some opinions from the remaining members of the coaching staff, opinions on the current situation of the team, but it was not enough, he still needed time, he was too rushed now, but the good thing is that the international break is coming up, after West Bromwich Albion, he will have a week to do something and think about the future of the team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gerrard's opinion is nothing new, to be precise, he doesn't say anything, he just says what has been going on lately.

After Gerrard, it's Zhang Yuan, he's the vice-captain, he has to say something, right?!

"Hello Sammy, it's nice to see you again!" Zhang Yuan greeted Hyypia first.

"I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances!Nice to meet you, Zhang Yuan!Hey, guys!Do you know one thing?!" Hyypia asked suddenly.

Everyone was stunned and said to listen to what Hyypia had to say.

"It's not the first time we've met, you may not know that we've been opponents in the Bundesliga before!Well, I've got to admit that I was old at the time, and he played a lot of games in one game! He's a great character!" Hyypia gave a self-deprecating thumbs up, and some of the players below laughed.

"So, okay, Zhang, I'd like to hear what you think of the team?!" Hyypia said with a smile.

"I haven't been here for long! Injuries have been a big factor in this time, but I don't think that's the only excuse for our poor performances! We have a lot of problems at both ends of the pitch! Because I'm a striker, I think we need to improve our offensive movement, you can look at the stats, we're a young team, but we can't do as many other teams in terms of distance we travel in every game! I think there's a lot of room for improvement in that area!"

Zhang Yuan said this, he didn't want to point out the problem of defense at all, because it was something obvious, but I am afraid that many people have not noticed this problem.

Zhang Yuan's spearhead is not pointed at anyone, but after careful consideration, in fact, the core of the problem is directed to the midfield, Liverpool's most active activities in every game are forwards, three strikers, Sterling, Coutinho, Zhang Yuan are very hard-working, the whole team has more running distance, but this is not correct, how to calculate the most running distance of the whole team should be the midfielder.

On the one hand, Coutinho and Zhang Yuan are ball-holding players, in possession of their ball, they did not have the command to go deep into the penalty area under the coaching of Rodgers, when the ball reached the feet of Zhang Yuan and other forwards, the midfielder was more on the periphery to respond, rather than frequently inserting into the penalty area, which is different from Juventus, which is why Zhang Yuan can see such a problem.

On the other hand, it is Rodgers' responsibility, he is not clear about the division of labor in the midfield, and the midfield trio is at a loss and does not know how to run.

Of course, there is also Gerrard as he gets older, because his running ability declines, a few years ago you can see Gerrard to a god, saving the team, but now I am afraid that many fans are difficult to see this scene again, the years are not forgiving is a fact, but he still has to do things at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

There was a lot of time to do in the internal meeting, with the morning training being over, the lunch at Melwood at noon, and the first training session for Hyypia at 4 p.m.

Hyypia didn't do much, he was carefully observing, he didn't change the team's original training plan, tomorrow's game is not a test for him, and it is not his responsibility to lose, and he can't make any changes immediately after taking over in such a short time.

On Saturday, October 4th, at 3pm, Liverpool vs. West Bromwich Albion officially kicked off, Liverpool despite their recent poor results, but Brendan Rodgers was ousted, and fans enthusiastically came to the stadium in the hope of seeing the former meritorious captain Hyypia make a difference to the team.

Hyypia made just one change from the Champions League in midweek, with Lallana replacing Joe Allen in one of the triangles of midfield, with Zhang Yuan, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling still up front, with Balotelli continuing to be on the bench and Sturridge continuing to recuperate.

West Bromwich Albion are a team that has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches for a long time, and they finished 17th last season, but the new West Bromwich Albion hierarchy parted ways with the relegation hero Mel and brought in Moyes's former assistant Alan Erwin as the manager.

Alan Erwin has led the team to six league games and currently has two wins, two draws and two defeats, accumulating eight points and sitting in 10th place, which is higher than Liverpool. Liverpool are now only 14th.

West Bromwich Albion has always been a difficult team to deal with, they are the conservatives of the English style of play, and now they have evolved, because they are weak, they often put on the bus, long passes and hangs, and they can get you one by one.

Liverpool played extremely hard in this game, and Hyypia did not make any unique arrangements for the team's original tactics, for fear of causing chaos, and as a result, the team was eating hard bones when facing a big bus team like West Bromwich Albion.

It wasn't until the end of the first half that Lallana and Zhang Yuan collided against the wall, entered the penalty area, and scored from a small angle to give Liverpool the lead.

Unfortunately, shortly after the start of the second half, Lovren brought down Belasino near the penalty line, and West Bromwich Albion's penalty pulled the two sides back to the same running line.

Liverpool's messy tactics did not get any improvement, which made the fans at the scene very disappointed, but there were still heroes who stood up at the critical moment, Zhang Yuan in the 87th minute, with a long-range shot, blasted open the door of Ben Foster's handle, allowing Liverpool to regain the three points.

2:1 was the final score, Hyypia praised Zhang Yuan's performance after the game, and today's pass and shot were the biggest contributors to the team's victory.

"He's the key man for the team! there's no doubt about the performance! we haven't been meticulous enough defensively and we need time to improve, so it's good for us to rebuild our confidence with this win," Hyypia said.

Recently, the outside media, because of Liverpool's poor record, there is also a voice, that is, Gerrard, don't look at Gerrard has scored two goals, but his score is not high in the ratings of many media, so many media people say that Gerrard is no longer suitable to occupy a main position.

Gerrard also worked hard today, and Hyypia also praised him, saying that Steve is fully capable of continuing to contribute to the team, and everyone can see today's performance, and his performance is wonderful.

Even the opponent's head coach Erwin praised Gerrard for refuting Gerrard's claim that he was out of gas: "Gerrard is out of breath? I don't think so. Anyone who says his legs can't run anymore should watch this match, when he chased Gomboa all the way to his own bottom line, always pressing him. Steven Gerrard is a good player and has been for many years and it will continue to be so. ”

Zhang Yuan did not praise his performance after the game, but also complimented Gerrard, saying that Gerrard is the spiritual leader of the team.

It was a tough process, but Liverpool were relieved to have won a win since Hyypia took over, and he will be studying with the coaching staff over the next week what changes the team should make.

After playing this game, Zhang Yuan also flew back to China overnight, and the Chinese team will also complete two friendly matches during this national team match day.

The first game was against Thailand on October 10, Zhang Yuan came on as a substitute, and the Chinese team defeated the Thai team 3:0.

The second game was against Paraguay on October 14, and Zhang Yuan started and helped the team beat Paraguay's second team.

Then taking advantage of this period, Zhang Yuan asked the team for a day off, he flew back to Turin, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, he missed it so much, he took this day off just to see his daughter.
