Sitting flat on the chair in the away team's dressing room, Zhang Yuan is receiving a massage from Partridge, who will be followed by the team doctor every game for Liverpool, and Partridge's massage is excellent, which can help the players relax their leg muscles after the big game.

In the past, Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to this kind of massage, but this season, at the request of Klopp, he himself didn't want to miss the game again due to injury, so he gradually began to relax the massage after the game, and today's game was against Sunderland.

Sunderland is now deep in the relegation circle, and the will to fight at home is very tenacious, but their strength gap Liverpool is too much, tenaciousness is not enough, Liverpool shot as many as 22 times, 10 shots on target, if it weren't for Mannone to play well, Liverpool would have played a big score today, not a 1:0 score.

They are a relegation team every year, every time they are thrilling relegation, the first half of the performance is like shit, and the second half of the second half of the start of the force, but it is difficult to say whether it will be late this year.

The reason has to be traced back to their American bosses, these bosses are really for the purpose of making money, and now it seems that everyone knows that the Premier League team makes money, holding it in his hand for two years, and selling a lot of money on his backhand will be in hand, Sunderland's boss Schott is such a person, his money is not small, worth more than 2 billion pounds, but this brother is reluctant to spend money, last season Sunderland was thrilling relegation under the leadership of Advocaat, and this brother invested only 8 million pounds in the summer transfer window, which is the least invested team in the Premier League。

No pay, of course, there is no return, the first 8 rounds of games, Advocaat 3 draws and 5 losses, firmly occupied the position of deputy squad leader, and finally he himself couldn't stand it, took the initiative to resign, jumped out of the quagmire of Sunderland, and now it is Allardyce who takes over the team, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Allardyce's recent results are not very good, but they finally got rid of the position of deputy squad leader and came to the penultimate one.

But in the face of Liverpool, which has relatively strong offensive firepower, Allardyce has no choice but to watch the team being beaten.

"Richie, your skills are amazing! thank you!" Zhang Yuan gave Partridge a thumbs up when he finished his work.

Partridge is also the team doctor who Klopp arranged for Zhang Yuan to follow the team, mainly to help Zhang Yuan with intermittent relaxation, which is conducive to the training effect.

"Zhang Yuan, your physique is very good, and you have rarely been affected by major injuries before, but you still have to be careful on the court, if you are deliberately injured, no matter how good your physique is, you can't withstand it!" said Partridge, who tactfully reminded Zhang Yuan that he should avoid certain technical moves and dangerous catches on the court.

Premier League coaches generally have low tactical ability, this is not to belittle them, but the fact, for a long time under the influence of the British traditional style of play, few coaches can have very good tactical ideas, which is why they are now more and more unpopular in the world, the fundamental reason why foreign coaches invade the Premier League, the times are different, the Premier League is no longer the era of high play, learn 442, and go all over the world is not afraid, Wenger has brought different things to the Premier League, the Premier League has not become the same as before since that time, some things are still retained, and some have changed。

It is not easy for the local coach in England to survive, Allardyce is one of the relatively good ones, but he has no great ability, in the face of Liverpool's rapid attack, he can only ask the players to make bold fouls, from the momentum to try to overwhelm Liverpool, but this trick did not work.

Partridge persuaded Zhang Yuan because there was a time on the pitch today, Zhang Yuan tried to play a little trick, and was unceremoniously kicked by Sunderland's players, Zhang Yuan was fortunately not injured, but next time, who dares to guarantee that there are many evildoers, the Premier League is the first, and broken legs are not uncommon.

Arsenal used to have a player Eduardo, Brazilian, Croatian, Wenger admired him at the beginning, and Eduardo himself is also very strong, after coming to Arsenal, the performance is also very good, but then affected by the broken leg incident, after more than a year to return to the field, psychologically caused a huge shadow, the performance has always been not as good as before, and finally had to return to Croatia.

The Premier League is so cruel, and there are some people who have no remorse for their actions, such as the original Irishman Roy Keane, if you want to say how much he is capable of, that's not, the key is that in that period, England's traditional forces were dominant, and his bloodshed was exactly what Ferguson needed, so later he became famous, and fighting with Vieira was a beautiful conversation, and he himself also disclosed in his autobiography how he abolished Haaland, complacent, blaming others for the crime, and having no remorse.

Interestingly, this guy later had a very unpleasant fall out with Ferguson, and also served as Sunderland's manager, but he was dismissed with dismal grades.

Partridge's reminder was reasonable, Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "I will pay attention to protect myself! Haha, I'm not easy to mess with, don't forget that I'm also a wicked person!"

Zhang Yuan is also a villain, under the compilation of a good thing media, the top ten villains Zhang Yuan is among them, fighting with teammate Lucio, fighting with Blues captain Terry, spraying each other with Neville, etc., which also compiled a lot, Lucio and Zhang Yuan were not teammates at all when they fought, but I don't know how they found out a secret, Zhang Yuan and Lucio also fought in Juventus.

Zhang Yuan knew that only three people knew about this at the time, and the third person was Pogba, Pogba swore that he had never said such a thing, who knows, maybe it was Pogba or Lucio himself, anyway, he didn't say it himself, but this little thing is nothing, criticize it, anyway, I have a lot of meat or two.

"Are you a villain?!" Partridge smiled, what kind of wicked person are you, Zhang Yuan gave Partridge a good impression, and he rarely got angry on the court, let alone on the training ground.

"That's right, I am!" That's what the Sun said!" Zhang Yuan teased.

Partridge was relieved, the Sun and Liverpool are mortal enemies, their news about Liverpool is either borrowed from others, or they rely on editing, they are not allowed to enter Anfield Stadium at all, Liverpool also prohibits any member of the club from being interviewed by the Sun, and the Sun is a comprehensive ban, of course, the Sun naturally slanders Liverpool in private, and it is not right to slander, it is to wantonly expand certain things, anyway, let Liverpool not be able to seize the handle to sue them.

After the game, Klopp also fiercely condemned Sunderland's players, he said in front of Sky Sports reporters: "This game is very difficult, the difficult reason is that Sunderland has too many fouls, I can't imagine that they contributed 20 fouls in this game, and there is not a red card! Adam Johnson's foul on Zhang Yuan is definitely worthy of a red card, I don't want to discuss the referee, but I think sometimes it is too lenient!"

"A player like Zhang Yuan doesn't need to be protected to some extent, but some malicious fouls can't be ignored!"

Zhang Yuan was relatively calm on the pitch today, but he didn't make any arguments, because he hadn't pried open the door of Sunderland at that time, and Liverpool didn't win, so he didn't want to hinder the overall situation of winning because of such a thing, he thought maybe people were deliberately provoking him!

His composure paid off, and in the end he scored, and it was a brilliant barb that was right in the eyes of Adam Johnson.

As a result, Arsenal and Leicester City played ahead of them, Arsenal got the victory, and Leicester City suffered a draw, so that Arsenal stepped on the first throne with the advantage of goal difference, and Leicester City with 39 points in second place, Liverpool is 38 points behind them in third, the situation is still better, of course, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur under Liverpool are not much behind them, Manchester City is only 2 points away from Liverpool, and Tottenham is only 3 points away from Liverpool, in short, the situation in the standings is still very complicated。 10
