On May 17, Liverpool ushered in the penultimate round of the league at home, Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace has been successfully relegated this season, and currently has 42 points in the ranking, in the middle position, for this they are basically in a state of no desire, this kind of team generally has two directions, no desire to play very relaxed may play a good state, on the other hand, it may be really too relaxed mentally, the state is not good.

This team has brought Liverpool deep memories this season, in the first half, Liverpool suffered a defeat at Crystal Palace's home stadium, when Zhang Yuan did not appear on the pitch due to injury, but this time he was there.

Crystal Palace seems to be specifically against Liverpool, who had no desire to show good form in this game and caused Liverpool a lot of problems, and it seems that Crystal Palace manager Alan Paddu is taking this game very seriously.

Now many media say that Liverpool with Zhang Yuan is different from Liverpool without Zhang Yuan, this is the real situation, Liverpool with Zhang Yuan is completely different from the first half of the season, even because of Crystal Palace's excellent form, but Liverpool still firmly occupies the initiative on the field.

Although the goal came a little late, but it finally came, in the 86th minute, Zhang Yuan assisted Sturridge to open the goal account again, Liverpool also won a small victory over Crystal Palace with this goal, the league points have reached 74 points, and another game held at the same time is also great news for Liverpool, the big battle between Arsenal and Manchester United ended in a draw, so that Liverpool was able to surpass Arsenal to third place in the standings.

Such news is of course worthy of excitement for the Liverpool players, and after the game, Zhang Yuan invited guests and everyone went to Zhang Yuan's restaurant for dinner.

"Seriously, this is my first time eating here!" Sturridge walked with Zhang Yuan.

"Daniel, you're not doing it right, you should come often, not only do you have to come often, you have to bring your seven aunts and eight aunts with you, and solicit more business for me!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, let's be clear, the first time I came, you didn't invite me until now! You invited too late! You can't be so stingy as a boss!" Sturridge retorted with a grin.

He has been proud of the spring breeze recently, under Klopp, returned from injury, Sterling himself died, Klopp is now gradually using him, he and Zhang Yuan partner is very tacit, Klopp can change the formation at any time, can become a double center tactics, can also be three forward tactics, Sturridge is the key chess piece of this change formation, he also has shortcomings, but he also has a lot of advantages, can form a good complement to Zhang Yuan, give Zhang Yuan good protection.

The successive victories have made Liverpool's players have a lot of laughter, and no one wants to play in the Champions League play-offs, how tiring it is.

Zhang Yuan especially does not want to, he is now analyzing next season, this summer Klopp will get a complete preparation period, and without the arrangement of the national team's continental cup, the team can do a better job in terms of physical reserves and tactical run-in.

"Next season is going to be a big one!" Zhang Yuan thought, and he guessed Klopp thought the same way.

On May 24th, Liverpool's curtain call of the season was played at Bet365, home of Stoke City, who have had a good season under Mark Hughes and had hopes of moving to the European places, but their recent form has been mediocre, with just three wins in 10 Premier League games, three draws and four defeats.

Stoke City in such a state naturally did not cause much trouble for Liverpool, in the 9th minute, Liverpool took the lead, Sturridge sent a through plug at the edge of the penalty area, Zhang Yuan successfully countered offside, and shot successfully from a small angle, allowing Liverpool to get a goal first.

In the first half, Gerrard came on as a substitute for Ali in the second half, and just 40 seconds after playing, he scored, and in the 65th minute, Zhang Yuan's free kick found Gerrard's point accurately, and Gerrard's header broke through the door of Bolton.

With one goal in each half, Liverpool won the opponent at Stoke City's home stadium without blood, reaching 77 points, and at the end of the season, Liverpool accumulated 77 points and fell below Chelsea and Manchester City, ranking third, and got the precious Champions League ticket.

Originally, according to the quality of the runner-up of the Red Army last season, Zhang Yuan could not have imagined that it would be so difficult to get an admission ticket, in the second half of the Liverpool is in addition to the famous points-grabbing madman, during which there were also defeats, but the points in hand are the highest among all Premier League teams, the most amazing thing is that Klopp actually used such a lineup to fight in the third line, the Champions League reached the quarterfinals, and the FA Cup also entered the final, and the league also thrilled to get the Champions League qualification, it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is thrilling, if it is not for Manchester United and Arsenal to drop the chain, the top four are not so easy to fight。

"I'm happy with this season, we had a lot of difficulties, the team wasn't at its best, I'm happy to finish third!

Klopp is eligible for such praise, in fact, he is still a veteran of the old team, and only introduced Dele Ali during the winter break, but Ali is not the main force in the second half, mostly as a substitute, and has only recently begun to appear frequently in the starting lineup, so it is not easy for Klopp.

Of course, his good luck and bad luck are also there, the good luck is that Liverpool's defensive core Digan came back in the second half and has always maintained a good form, Liverpool's defensive level seems to have been immediately raised a level, bad luck is that Zhang Yuan was injured at a time when he shouldn't have been injured, so that Liverpool suffered a big defeat at the Allianz Stadium and regretted being out of the Champions League.

"Now that the league is over, I'm happy with my job, we qualified for the Champions League and if we don't do that, it will be a complete failure for us! But the season is not over yet, we still have an important competition waiting for us! I hope we can win the championship and end the season on a successful note!" Jurgen Klopp also set out his expectations after the game, winning the FA Cup.

Of course, this title is not only important for Liverpool, but also for Arsenal, who, like Liverpool, qualified for the Champions League, but without a league title, the FA Cup is the only honour they can strive for.

After the finale, Zhang Yuan also won the title of the first Player of the Month, Klopp won the title of Best Coach of May, Klopp got the best coach of the month for 2, once when he came, once now, but Zhang Yuan is the first time, although he scored a lot, but he was not very lucky, Liverpool grabbed the most points in January, he was not present, and then Liverpool always lost, which led to this selection He was also affected, until May, Liverpool finally raised his eyebrows, he participated in all the games, scored 3 goals and contributed 3 assists, and helped the team win all the games。

When a reporter from the official website of the Premier League interviewed him, he also joked: "I think this award has been around for a long time, and you have not brought it to us until now!"

The best of the month is produced through public voting and expert voting, the voting of experts is very important and strict, scoring is an important factor, but the most important thing is what height you help the team reach, for example, Zhang Yuan did not score many goals this month, not as much as last month, but the help to the team is really obvious, Liverpool won four games, and with these victories surpassed Manchester United and Arsenal, and qualified for the Champions League.

He was already 47% ahead of his competitors in the public voting, and he also won the approval of the experts in the expert voting, and this monthly award was well deserved.
