Chapter 484: Warm-up Tournament Debut

After talking to Rogers here, it was almost time for dinner, Zhang Yuan returned to his room, and Deegan hadn't left yet, but he actually fell asleep in his bed!

"Pig, get up!" Zhang Yuan picked up a pillow and smashed it on Degan's head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Deegan woke up, "You're back?!I've been seeing him for too long, I'm asleep!"

"It's time to eat!Let's go, talk as you go!" Zhang Yuan beckoned.

"What did you say for so long?!" Di Gan asked Zhang Yuan in front of him as he picked up vegetables.

"Tell me about the team, well, discuss my position!" Zhang Yuan replied.

"Ho, what's the point here, you're definitely taking Luis's place!" Deegan chuckled.

There was an indescribable feeling in his chuckle, but Zhang Yuan felt that this feeling was that Deegan actually didn't want the club to sell Suarez, thinking that the partner of Suarez and Zhang Yuan in the front line would definitely be in the limelight in the Premier League, and winning the championship might not fall short like the season.

Zhang Yuan didn't reply, took the food, sat down at an empty table, Di Gan sat down next to him, and the two of them ate.

Liverpool's players and coaches have come down one after another, Rodgers is naturally at the same table with the coaches, Liverpool doesn't know Zhang Yuan, the world No. 1 doesn't know, either too arrogant or too lonely, think about Liverpool really doesn't have this kind of player.

Gerard came down, he and Lucas were together, and the two of them also came to Zhang Yuan with their own dinner and sat down beside him, and greeted Zhang Yuan.

Lucas is actually not very old, but he came to Liverpool very early and has been playing for 7 years, in this team, only Gerrard has been longer than him, and there was originally Ag in the team longer than him, but Ager has just transferred back to Denmark, and Lucas is the second longest-serving player in the team.

However, due to his serious injuries in previous seasons, he was not the absolute main force under Rodgers, and could only be the first rotation of a midfielder, with Gerrard and Henderson being the first choice under Rodgers.

Liverpool have also spent €12 million on Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen this season, which is sure to further squeeze Lucas's space.

"Zhang, I watched your meeting on the Internet! The atmosphere is amazing!" Lucas said with a laugh.

"Hehe, Reva, this is not my idea! I'm actually an actor!" Zhang Yuan saw that Lucas was more amiable, so he made a joke.

"That's a good word!" said Gerald, laughing.

"No way, this is part of the job!" Zhang Yuan shrugged helplessly.

Without saying a few words, someone came to Zhang Yuan's table to eat, it was Malkovich.

Malkovic also came to Liverpool this season, and he and Zhang Yuan met in the Europa League last season.

"Zhang, it's nice to see you again! I'm happy to be your teammate when I know you're coming to the team!" Malkovic complimented in less proficient English.

"I'm glad to meet you too!Lazar, we'll get along happily in the future!" Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and smiled.

This is the invisible charm of the world's No. 1, it won't take too much time to integrate into the team, many people will take the initiative to get to know you and make friends with you, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan's table, there are also Liverpool players who want to take the initiative to come over and say hello.

Today is the first day to reach Chicago, the evening is not the time for free activities, the team arranged a commercial show, Zhang Yuan, Gerrard and several other Liverpool players participated in the show, Liverpool did not tell the organizer in advance that Zhang Yuan would appear, but when Zhang Yuan appeared, the crowd of onlookers below were boiling!

Of course, Zhang Yuan's influence in the United States is not only because of football, but also because his girlfriend is the famous singer Christian Rossi, which will certainly make many Americans know him.

Zhang Yuan had to do what the actor did again, always smiling, interacting with the audience a few times, signing autographs and taking photos, and was very busy.

Fortunately, the activity time of this commercial show will not be too long, and the main purpose is to promote Liverpool itself, and Zhang Yuan's service is also deserved, with such a high salary, he has no portrait rights at all.

The next day, Zhang Yuan followed the team to start an open training session, which attracted a lot of fans, the saying that the United States is a football desert is a thing of the past, of course, in fact, as a country with a highly developed sports industry, American football is not bad.

Brendan Rodgers' usual training is mainly with the ball, which is in line with his coaching philosophy, and he has never changed his original intention to keep the ball, although Liverpool are not playing this game now.

It's just that now it's a pre-season preparation, fitness is the key link, and the Premier League is fiercely competitive, and it requires not only strength but also physical fitness to achieve it.

Although Zhang Yuan returned late, he finished well, and Rogers said to Marsh: "The training is very serious!"

"Bren, you don't think he's got to where he is today, do you?!" Marsh smirked.

"I thought he didn't like training very much!" Rogers told his guess.

Marsh shook his head, Rogers really didn't know Zhang Yuan.

On the afternoon of the 27th, Liverpool faced Olympiacos at Chicago Warrior Stadium, which is the home of the Chicago Bears, a major league football team, which can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators.

Zhang Yuan did not appear in the starting line-up or on the bench, but sat in the stands, Boss Qian arrived in Chicago last night to watch the game, and the guest in the stands was Daniel Craig, the actor of 007, who is a big Liverpool fan, and took time to watch the game today.

Zhang Yuan looked quite surprised, this is 007!

Craig clearly expressed his joy for Zhang Yuan to join Liverpool, and he praised Zhang Yuan as the best star in the world, and he will definitely see Zhang Yuan lead Liverpool to rise again in the future.

Zhang Yuan praised his superb performance in the 007 movie, saying that he had seen all his films, but in fact, he had not seen the 007 series.

Under the urging of Boss Qian, Liverpool did not disappoint again in this game, defeating the opponent 1:0 and winning the first victory of the International Champions Cup.

After this game, Liverpool travelled to New York non-stop, where they played Manchester City, also from the Premier League.

Zhang Yuan, who had been waiting for this game, finally appeared, but not as a starter, but as a substitute, and Rodgers took into account Zhang Yuan's physical condition.

Zhang Yuan, who came on as a substitute, received a cross pass from Markovic in the 85th minute, and hit the goal directly outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the door of Joe Hart's handle, equalizing for Liverpool, dragging the game into a penalty shootout, and Liverpool relied on Mignolet's courage to play a penalty shootout to win 5:3.

That equalizer is also Zhang Yuan's only highlight in the game, in fact, his performance after the game is not very good, one is indeed not adjusted to the best, and the other is that he himself is not very concerned about such a game, no matter how good the International Champions Cup sounds, it is just a friendly match, he doesn't want to be injured in such a game, and the two teams are actually very fierce on the field, who calls them the enemies of the Premier League champions and runners-up.

Zhang Yuan's debut in the hot match was completed in this way, and the media commented on him after the game very pertinently, not in the best condition, but with super individual ability, he grasped the few shooting opportunities.

This kind of game is not much good for Liverpool, it is nothing more than business, and the actual way of training in competition is disadvantageous, this is not just after playing Manchester City in New York, Liverpool had to rush to Charlotte to play the last group game with Milan.

In this game, Rodgers replaced all the main players, and Zhang Yuan did not play, but Liverpool still relied on the goals of Joe Allen and Suso to defeat AC Milan 2:0, won the first place in the group stage, and entered the final.
