"Zhang Yuan, how do you evaluate the performance of the Chinese team in this game?!" A reporter from the domestic sports station asked.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and this is after the war with Qatar on October 9, reporters asked Zhang Yuan.

In the club's competitions, Liverpool is soaring, after winning Villa, they have won the Champions League rival Olympiacos and the city rival Everton, Zhang Yuan scored 3 goals in these games, but in the national team, Zhang Yuan is very unsatisfactory.

The temperature in Qatar in October is still very hot, even if the time of the game is scheduled in the evening, the local temperature in Qatar is also very uncomfortable, in this critical battle, Zhang Yuan's long-distance travel and the impact of the temperature is too high, the whole game is not satisfactory, not only him, the overall performance of the national team is very sluggish, and finally the national team lost 0:1 to the home team at home in Qatar, so that the Chinese team's qualifying situation suddenly became more and more severe, They are already four points away from Qatar at the top of the group, which is not an easy point to close.

Zhang Yuan didn't want to find a reason at all, but he still wanted to talk about today's weather, is this really a good place to play football?!

"We have no excuses for losing, we played badly in this game, the hot weather made us tired! The ability to run on the pitch has dropped a lot, and they are even better prepared for this game! We lost without any excuses! ”

"After losing this game, the current qualifying situation of the Chinese team is very grim, do you think it is possible for the Chinese team to get a direct qualifying place?!"

'I still have a lot of confidence in qualifying, don't forget, we're only halfway through the game and we still have a chance, the key is that we need to win now, otherwise it's all empty talk!'

Now the Chinese team just finished the first round, Qatar, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Maldives, but according to expectations, the results of the first round were not ideal, only two wins, one draw and one loss, such results fell behind Qatar, and they have not been able to get rid of the point difference with Hong Kong, China.

After the depressed national team competition, he returned to Liverpool, and after a few days of rest, Zhang Yuan followed the team on the journey of the Battle of White Hart Lane.

Last season under the leadership of Pochettino, the youth army Tottenham Hotspur made rapid progress, under his tutelage, Tottenham qualified for the Europa League, this season except for the first round of defeat to Manchester United, Tottenham has been unbeaten in 7 rounds, but there are a lot of draws, resulting in their points are only 13 points, 7 points less than Liverpool, Liverpool is still in the first place, but if they can't win Tottenham today, and Manchester City wins Bournemouth, Liverpool will be overtaken by Manchester City and fall to the second position.

As Tottenham, this game is important for them and they will certainly want to win this win to close the gap between them and the first group, but Liverpool are very difficult to deal with, and even Pochettino said in his pre-match press conference: "Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are very aggressive, and the performances during this period have shown everyone what a good team they are, and we need to be determined to win and try to limit their space to move!" ”

In the game, Tottenham did exactly that, they tightened the formation in the process of defending, used density to limit Liverpool's interspersed running, and when attacking, the two full-backs pressed again, and the formation was relatively open, and Liverpool suffered big trouble in this game.

Obviously dominant in possession, but there is no way to break through Tottenham with attack, of course, in such a battle Klopp did not dare to be careless, Liverpool's restrictions are also very good, the two teams did not come to an offensive battle as expected by the outside world, but came to a 0:0 draw, and in another game at the same time, Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 5:1 at home, squeezing Liverpool out of the first place.

However, Klopp was not disappointed with the game, saying in his post-match interview: "It's always not easy against Tottenham, Pochettino is a very capable manager and they have a lot of talented players in their squad, White Hart Lane is never an easy home stadium and I'm happy to get a point here after the international break! ”

Pochettino was a little disappointed, but he was also helpless, they actually played a good team this season, losing to Manchester United, but in the seventh round they beat Manchester City 4-1.

When playing a strong team, they are often able to make good use of the impact in the counter-attacking process, their passing is direct and effective, but it is not so easy to meet Liverpool, who are also young and physical, and Liverpool's offensive and defensive conversion speed has improved greatly this season, which is one of the reasons why many teams are not easy to find counter-attacking opportunities in Liverpool.

Zhang Yuan's performance against Tottenham Hotspur was not very good, maybe he was tired after the national team game, or he couldn't forget the contradictions within the national team, and he may have faced a difficult environment, in short, his performance was very bad.

It was already evening when I returned to Liverpool, and my brother-in-law Li Jun watched the game and asked him, "What's wrong with you today?!" It feels like you're always out of shape on the pitch! Adjust your mentality! The Champions League is about to be played against Bayern Munich! ”

"Alas, I know! The national team is a bit troublesome during this time! You know the situation, we're praying that Hong Kong loses, otherwise it's not going to be a good time for us! Zhang Yuan shook his head, took the milk handed over by Li Jun, sat down and said.

"Honey, you are in the club now, don't worry about the national team! I already know your situation, but the worst hasn't happened yet, so you don't need to worry so much, didn't my brother-in-law say that you might also qualify as the second place in the group?! Maybe it's also an option, so there's no need to worry so much! Anna, who happened to go downstairs, also heard their conversation and immediately persuaded Zhang Yuan.

"Well, I see! Don't worry, I'll get some sleep and everything will be fine! Midweek games are important, they're strong, but we need to establish a home advantage first! Zhang Yuan nodded and accepted everyone's relief.

After washing up, back to the bedroom, Anna is lying on the bed flipping through the magazine, since the last disagreement, Anna is now spending more time at home, Zhang Yuan is now playing well overall, and it has a lot to do with the harmony of the family.

Zhang Yuan looked at the delicate Anna and was about to move.

"No, not for this time!" Anna rejected Zhang Yuan.

"Why?! Hehe, your aunt hasn't been these two days! Zhang Yuan smiled.

"Tell you a secret!"

"What secret?!"

"I'm pregnant!"

"Ah, really?! Are you telling the truth?! Zhang Yuan happily hugged Anna and shouted.

"Haha, I lied to you about this! Today I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that I am 2 months pregnant! Now is the time to be careful, so I can't accompany you! ”

"Thank you! Baby! It's not a problem, just wait a little longer! Hey! Okay, I'm going to be a dad again! Does my daughter know the news?! ”

"She doesn't know!"

"Maybe we should talk to her, she's going to have a brother or sister!" Zhang Yuan touched his mouth and said, her daughter has always been the little princess of the family, I don't know what the reaction will be, but she is still young now, and she probably doesn't know much about these things.

"She'll be happy, I think he's having a good time with John!" John is the English name of Zhang Yuan's nephew, and this name was given by Anna for her nephew.

"Haha, that's because John is always taking care of her, and if one day she needs to take care of someone else, maybe she doesn't think so!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

When he went to the training ground the next day, Zhang Yuan seemed very happy, and Digan asked him suspiciously: "What is there to be happy about?!" ”

"I'm going to be a dad again, do you think I'm happy?! Ha ha! Degan, why hasn't Elise moved yet?! ”

"Hmph, who told you that there was no movement, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to be a father too!" Digan snorted.

"Haha, this... What a coincidence! ”
