Hyypia sat in his coach's office, with a sad face, it was already the morning of November 19th, and he had just received bad news that the club informed him that Zhang Yuan had been injured on the national team match day and had a thigh muscle strain!

This news is like a bolt from the blue for him, now Liverpool's forward pillar is Zhang Yuan, his role is getting bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, Sturridge has not recovered from his injury for a long time, what he can rely on is Zhang Yuan, and now he has to have a headache about who to use, Liverpool's forward line is still Lambert, Balotelli, Borini. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Borini has only played in the League Cup so far this season, and his performance has not been good, not a single goal, Lambert has been a substitute in the league, but not a single goal, Balotelli has the most opportunities, but he has also been a substitute for most of the time, and only scored one goal!

Neither of them could be trusted, but now Hyypia had to choose one of the three of them as the preferred general for the striker.

Zhang Yuan was injured in a friendly match with Honduras, as for the reason for the injury, who can say clearly, maybe it was because he was too tired.

On the 20th, Zhang Yuan returned to Liverpool by plane from China, and the club asked him to return to the club for treatment, he did not refuse, and he also hoped to get better as soon as possible, after all, Liverpool is now at a turning point, yes, the turning point of the season, because they defeated a strong leader, and the morale of the team is high.

Zhang Yuan is very confident in his influence, and his absence may affect the morale of the players, and everyone may have become accustomed to his performance at key moments!

In fact, he was right, and when he returned to Liverpool, captain Steven Gerrard called him.

"Zhang Yuan, how is your injury?!" Gerald's first sentence was concerned about his injury, and the second sentence was, "Everyone is very concerned!"

Not only the coach, but also the players are also concerned about Zhang Yuan's injury.

"Steve, I don't think it's too much of a problem! Maybe a week will do!" Zhang Yuan said with a slight lightheartedness.

Gerrard relieved a little, "You know the situation of the team! We have a good momentum right now, if we can't continue that momentum when you're out, maybe we won't be able to make a big difference this season!"

"Steve, believe everyone! We have the potential to do something big! Coutinho and Raheem Sterling are great players, Balotelli is also good, they can definitely do a lot! The key is to see how Mr. Hyypia uses it!" Zhang Yuan relieved Gerrard.

Hyypia?!Gerrard's mind somehow felt that this sense of trust was limited, although Hyypia was his good friend and an old teammate, but how to say this, since Hyypia took over, the team has changed, but it is not particularly obvious, the team is still very embarrassed, Hyypia has not been able to solve the biggest defensive problem.

Gerrard feels that there is nothing wrong in the direction of Hyypia, clarifying the division of labor in the midfield, increasing the function of the striker, and providing more support for the backline, but why there are still conceding goals, conceding a lot of goals, Gerrard can't figure it out, at least now he can't figure it out.

Not to mention that he is Zhang Yuan can't figure it out, it can only be attributed to the fact that Liverpool bought all parallel defenders, and the mistakes of the back line come and go, which is not a mistake in coordination, but personal, which is easy to think of the ability of the players.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuan's mentality is more relaxed than before, the problem of bad results is not something he can solve, he can only hope to use more goals to help the team's results.

It stands to reason that now is the best time for Balotelli to take the lead, and he scored the third goal against Chelsea to seal the win for Liverpool, but unfortunately the day before his game against Crystal Palace, he was injured on the training ground, and Hyypia's options were even more stretched, and in his pre-match press conference he had already said in response to reporters' questions that Balotelli might start, and now he had to make a temporary substitution.

For Liverpool, it's actually a good time to face Crystal Palace, who are out-and-out underdogs.

Crystal Palace is also a 100-year-old club, but their history is very different from that of Liverpool, known as the lift, and they were in high risk of relegation last season, at least from the first half of the season, when they were already bottom of the table, and at that time they brought in a key man, Toni Pulis.

Toni Pulis is very good, he actually led Crystal Palace to continue his life strongly, from the danger of relegation to the eleventh place in the league, he only spent half a season, and because of this result, he beat Pellegrini and other coaches to become the best manager in the Premier League last season.

However, after the first round of the new season, Tony Pulis ran, why did he run?!Because Crystal Palace is very bad in the transfer market, the total investment is just 10 million pounds, how can this make the team have the strength to improve, such investment can not satisfy Pulis's desire, so in order to strongly express his dissatisfaction, Pulis resigned angrily, Lao Tzu can't do your job!

He left, Crystal Palace had to ask Neil Warnock to come to the stage, but Warnock's results were not ideal, 11 rounds of games, they only accumulated 9 points, ranked second-to-last, deep in the relegation circle, before Liverpool, Warnock has been criticized by the major media, as if he does not get out of class, so this game with Liverpool can be said to be Warnock's lifeline, this game is Crystal Palace's home field, when will you not fight at this time?!

There are two situations against such a team, either the head coach Warnock has completely lost his military heart, and Crystal Palace is difficult to play even if he is at home, or Warnock still has prestige among the players, and this game is a bayonet.

Liverpool are hopeful that this is the former.

Zhang Yuan's sister and brother-in-law have already arrived in Liverpool and have just settled down, and this team is going to go to Crystal Palace.

Zhang Yuan and Li Jun went to the away stadium to watch the game together, of course, they would not sit in the away team's fan box, Zhang Yuan asked the club for a box ticket.

Before the game, Crystal Palace's beautiful cheerleading squad performed the sidelines.

"Football games also have this?!" Li Jun sat on the chair and wrapped his clothes, there was rain at the game site today, and the weather was cold, Li Jun felt that he was wearing less clothes.

"Haha, they're a special case!" Zhang Yuan laughed.

Of course, Li Jun is curious, he rarely sees cheerleaders in football games, and he has not paid attention to the Premier League before, so it is understandable.

Crystal Palace's football team is very special, they not only have a mascot a vulture, but also an eye-catching cheerleading team, hehe, the fans at the scene can also watch a large wave of beauties when watching the game, which feels very good.

"Is it a trick to lure the opposing players into making mistakes?!or to stimulate their players' hormones!" Li Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, that's probably it!But I think it's hard for them to achieve their goal! You see, they're all still in the relegation zone!" Zhang Yuan also laughed.

He thinks that this game will not cause big problems for Liverpool, because Crystal Palace is really weak, the attack is not strong, and there are a lot of goals conceded.

Shortly after the start of the game, in the third minute, Liverpool got off to a dream start, with Lallana making a long pass from the back and starting striker Lambert getting a one-on-one chance to directly help Liverpool take the lead.

Zhang Yuan stood up and applauded his teammates, this is a wonderful start!

Since then, the game has fallen into Liverpool's control, they have an absolute advantage, but Crystal Palace's defense is tenacious, and the foul tactics are used more, so Liverpool rarely create great chances, their counter-attacks are decent, but the quality of the strikers is really not high, and several great chances have been wasted.

Zhang Yuan's face became solemn, the result of this game is really hard to say, watching Liverpool take the initiative, but the players are not strong in breaking the ability, and who can say clearly, will Crystal Palace's three-board axe go crazy once and slash Liverpool? !
