Chapter 624: Captain's Duties
In the second half, I don't know what Klopp said, Liverpool's players reinvigorated, and Bayern Munich's side looked a little weak after a fantastic first half, and the second half felt back to normal levels, Liverpool was below, Bayern Munich was in the upper hand, but it was not like the first half.
Qian Huan and a group of Liverpool executives sat in the stands like bodhisattvas and watched the tug-of-war between the two sides in the second half, forty-five minutes ended the first half of the fierce Bayern Munich did not make any achievements in the second half, and the bitter Liverpool did not make any achievements, there were only two shots on goal in the whole game, all of which were completed in these forty-five minutes, which also reflected one thing from the side, Bayern Munich's performance in the first half was against the sky, it was the universe, and they returned to the earth from the universe in the second half.
As soon as the game ended, Qian Huan flew back to Liverpool on his own private jet, while other Liverpool executives and Zhang Yuan wanted to join the team and return to Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola was crazy in the first half and much calmer in the second, but he couldn't hide his excitement in the post-match press conference.
'I said before the game it was a difficult game but we were going to come back and now we did it and I'm proud of the team!'
Guardiola is also more heroic in the future games: "Our goal is to win the championship of course, and we hope to win the Champions League after a long absence!"
Jurgen Klopp was bitter about the game, "We played a terrible first half, the difference in quality between us was not as big as the score reflected, but their performance was really phenomenal and difficult to deal with, in the second half we improved but it wasn't enough, we kept trying to score but their defence was very organised and it was difficult for us to get any chances!"
"Mr. Klopp, this game ultimately cost Liverpool the opportunity to continue to advance in the Champions League, who do you think should bear the responsibility for going out of this game?!!Do you think your tactical arrangement is appropriate?!" A reporter in the audience fired directly at Klopp.
'I'm willing to take all the blame, the lads have worked hard!' shouldn't be on them for losing, it's my responsibility!' Jurgen Klopp defended his players and took full responsibility for the team's loss.
This is not surprising, as the blind can tell that Klopp lost the game against Pep Guardiola, and he lost badly.
Jurgen Klopp was joined by captain Jordan Henderson, who said: "We are very disappointed and disappointed that this season's Champions League campaign is over, but we have next season and now our most important goal is to qualify for next season's Champions League!"
"Mr. Henderson, do you think this game has a lot to do with Zhang Yuan's injury?!In the past, Arsenal had led you 4-0 at home, but in the second half, Zhang Yuan scored a solo quadruple to help the team equalize, do you think he would be completely different if he was on the pitch!" the reporters asked.
This is of course for sure, Liverpool's possession rate in the second half has come up a lot, but the front court lacks the ability to break through, Coutinho and Sterling's play can only be described as bleak, and the situation is definitely different for Zhang Yuan on the field, in fact, in the case of 4:0, Liverpool only needs two goals to completely reverse the situation, but they can't do it at all.
"He's very important to us, but he's injured and there's no what if!" Henderson didn't delve into the subject.
The press conference also ended early, Zhang Yuan went to the dressing room of the away team after the game, and saw every player, it is impossible to say that he is not disappointed, but there are two goals at home, but now he has been bloodily slaughtered, and he has lost the qualification to go down, on several fronts, Zhang Yuan is most interested in two, one is the league and one is the Champions League, the league is already theoretically possible, that is to say, it is impossible, and the Champions League has become the most likely for Liverpool, and the result is now eliminated, how can Zhang Yuan not be disappointed.
Disappointment to disappointment, after all, he is the second captain of the team, this season Liverpool's players seem to have become accustomed to Zhang Yuan's leadership, under his leadership to complete incredible games, simply say that Zhang Yuan now has the ability to convince the public, he now has to comfort his teammates.
Gerrard didn't go to the post-match press conference, he was calm, after all, he had learned so many lessons or experienced too many failures, and this time he was eliminated from the tournament really nothing.
When hugging Zhang Yuan, Gerrard said: "This is fucking fate, sooner or later, if you were on the court, today's result may be completely different!"
"Steve, maybe I can't change anything! They played incredible, an incredible first half, I really can't find any words to describe it!" Zhang Yuan said half-truth, Bayern played well is a fact, but Zhang Yuan will not think that he is useless, if he is on the pitch should not be so bad, Guardiola will not let him go.
And what Bayern showed today really surprised Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan has faced Bayern Munich in Juventus and Schalke 04 before, but he has never seen Bayern Munich play in such a state.
But now that I think about it, maybe it's not that Bayern is not in good shape, but that Schalke 04 and Juventus' defense is really good, and now look at Liverpool's defense, which is really not much, and it is already a habit to concede goals this season, which is much worse than Juventus and Schalke 04 before.
The most disappointed among the players is probably Ali, Ali was replaced by Klopp before he finished halftime, Klopp also said a few words to Ali at halftime, after all, it is a young man, Klopp does not want to hit Ali's confidence, but Ali is still inevitably affected.
Ali finished bathing early, packed up his things, and hid in the bus, Zhang Yuan didn't see anyone else in the locker room, so he asked Di Gan, who was packing his things.
"Where's Dele?!"
"Hehe, where are you going?!Hide in the car and cry!" Deegan replied casually.
"You're in a good mood!" Zhang Yuan saw that Deegan didn't seem to be too affected by the loss.
"I was depressed in the first half, I knew in the first half that this was the end, we were going to be out, the grief is always temporary, I can't be sad about it all the time! Forget it, there will be a chance in the future!" said Deegan with a shrug.
He has completed the renewal of his contract with Liverpool, his salary has increased significantly, he is now the core of Liverpool's defense, and Zhang Yuan is a little happy and a little jealous to see him so relieved of this game, because he himself can't be so relieved, if it weren't for the fact that he is the team's de facto captain, Zhang Yuan would love to hide in a corner and secretly scold his teammates!
It's also true, saying that Bayern played well, is it not the responsibility of the Liverpool players, at least in the first half their performance was bad enough.
Zhang Yuan didn't have anything to say, left Di Gan and went to the bus, except for the driver, Ali, who sat quietly in his position and looked out the window.
"Hey, Dele, are you alright?!" Zhang Yuan stood next to Ali's seat, and then sat down on the seat next to him.
"I?!I'm alright!" Ali replied with a wry smile.
"It doesn't look like you're very good!" Zhang Yuan hit the nail on the head, he patted Ali on the shoulder, "It's really nothing, you have to know that this is the Champions League, we are facing Bayern Munich! It's not particularly easy to play well!"
Why is it not easy for young players to maintain a stable state, the first age is too young, the mental quality is not too hard, the second experience is too little, this experience is very important, Ali has dealt with the third tier of England team, he has played many games in that environment, he can do very well, but now he has come to the Premier League level and has come to the Champions League level, these two games are completely different.
