Chapter 712: Second Round (1)
"What we're talking about now is a world-class phenomenal player!I think today at Anfield, Zhang Yuan has the ability to lead Liverpool to the final!" said special commentator Thierry Henry in the live broadcast room, saying that Liverpool are more likely to qualify for the final.
"Thierry, don't forget that Zhang Yuan's performance in the last rendezvous was more average!" Carragher, who is a famous Liverpool player, pointed out bluntly.
"No, no...... I don't think he played badly, in fact, Liverpool created the only few chances to have him, and you don't forget that he is not afraid of the door of Atletico Madrid! In the last game, it seems that Zhang Yuan was not good enough to be good enough, but this round is Liverpool's home stadium, I think it is conducive to his play, I think he will show a more convincing performance in this game!" Henry shook his head and raised his fingers and said.
"So, in your opinion, Liverpool clearly have the upper hand in today's game?!"
"There is no doubt about it, the key is that Liverpool need to play to their strengths, they spent a lot of energy in the last game in the midfield duel with Atletico Madrid, I think there is nothing wrong with Liverpool opening up space in this game!"
"No, no...... Thierry, don't forget that Atletico Madrid also has Antoine Griezmann, he also has the ability to change the game! They also have Torres! Fernando is familiar with the English team's style of play!" Carragher defended that he did not agree with Henry's idea, Henry meant that Liverpool intended to attract Atletico Madrid's attack and reduce the consumption of Atletico Madrid's midfield, Liverpool did spend a lot of energy against Atletico Madrid in the midfield in the last game, resulting in both teams struggling to create too many chances.
Carragher believes that in such an important game, Liverpool did not gain anything in the last leg of the game, and this game should be more careful to avoid Atletico Madrid's away goals, and as an old team-mate of Torres, Carragher has never despised him, he believes that even if Torres is now older, he is capable of causing problems for Liverpool.
What's more, Atletico Madrid now also has a new generation of strikers, Griezmann, who has shown a good level of competition and condition in Atletico Madrid in the past two years, which is very suitable for Atletico Madrid's technical and tactical play.
"Thierry, who do you think would be more likely to decide this match between Griezmann and Zhang Yuan?!" Carragher then asked.
"As I said earlier, we are talking about two world-class players now, I think Zhang Yuan's ability is undoubtedly outstanding at this stage, he is very experienced, after the last game, I think Zhang Yuan will definitely make some challenges in this game, I think Anthony, who is younger than Zhang Yuan, may need another season or two to reach Zhang Yuan's current height!" Henry said with a smile spread his hands, of course he didn't think Griezmann could surpass Zhang Yuan in his heart.
In a previous interview, he said that he was surprised to see Zhang Yuan for the first time on the field, he was surprised by Zhang Yuan's talent, and now he doesn't think Griezmann's talent can be as good as Zhang Yuan.
"He's your fellow countryman!" Carragher laughed teasingly.
"I'm not talking about the future, I'm talking about the present, Anthony is definitely capable of winning the Ballon d'Or, but he needs to prove that he deserves it now!" Henry continued to spread his hands.
On the Anfield field, Griezmann was warming up with his teammates, but he didn't know what his fellow countrymen said about him, from this end of the field, he could see the other side, the Liverpool players were forming a circle, Zhang Yuan was standing in the middle and talking loudly, music was playing at Anfield Stadium, and Griezmann was hard to hear what they were talking about.
Zhang Yuan was in the middle of the circle, gesturing with his hands to strengthen his tone, "Brothers, there is only one step away from the final, throughout the ages, how many teams have fallen on the way to this step, do you want to end this season's Champions League journey with regrets?!"
"I don't want to!"
"Reach the finals and win the championship!"
……
The Liverpool players are yelling!
"I don't want to, I don't want to, so we're going to win this game, we didn't take advantage of the draw in the last round, but today was different! remember the players' tunnel?! we need to tell them today, this is Anfield! This is Anfield!" Zhang Yuan roared with a bruised face on his forehead.
"Yes, tell them this is Anfield! We're going to beat them here, we're going to have strong fans behind us! We're going to fight to the end for the fans!" Gerrard clapped out.
The Liverpool players walked off the field with excitement, without delay, changed all the equipment, Zhang Yuan took the lead and left the locker room, and Gerrard, who did not start later, also came out, and he gave a big hug at the entrance of the passage.
"Come on! Zhang Yuan! Don't forget our traditions! Everything depends on you!"
"I won't, Steve! We will win today!"
Griezmann came to the player's tunnel and saw Zhang Yuan again, but he didn't greet Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan didn't notice him, when he was in Real Sociedad, he played against Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was already hard to believe at that time, and now Griezmann admires Zhang Yuan even more.
"Zhang Yuan, I admit that you are a great leader! But today I will defeat you!" Griezmann told himself in his heart.
In the last round of the game, according to Henry's interpretation, Zhang Yuan's performance was not bad, and Liverpool's limited opportunities were almost all instigated by Zhang Yuan, but Griezmann was really a little bad, Klopp also did his homework on the defensive end, Griezmann was also deeply encircled, it was difficult to get any opportunities, and he did not show any outstanding performance, and the media also criticized him after the game.
Antoine Griezmann was somewhat unconvinced, and he had a good chance to be ashamed of himself in this game!
Qian Huan, the owner of the Liverpool team, also brought his female companion to the scene to watch the game, his female companion didn't know football at all, and he didn't even know Zhang Yuan, a domestic entertainment star.
"Who is Zhang Yuan?!" asked the female companion, pointing to the two columns of players below.
Depend, what an idiot, the only Chinese can't recognize it?!Maybe it's myopia?!
"That! That! Wearing a red jersey with an armband is Zhang Yuan! I lean, you don't even know Zhang Yuan?! I really doubt that you are Chinese!" Qian Huan pointed and said, he was not tired of his female companion, and he was still in the mood to take care of it.
"Oh, brother, people don't know football, you can tell others a few times and you will understand!Don't be so impatient!" The female companion twisted Qian Huan's arm and shouted angrily.
"Hee-hee, baby, I'm not impatient! I just think it's too strange, you don't even know Zhang Yuan! Tsk, it's really lonely! But I forgive you, your hair is long and your knowledge is short!haha!" Qian Huan seemed to be in a good mood at this moment, and turned his face and said with a hippie smile.
"He's really famous?!More famous than me?!" asked the female companion with wide eyes, my aunt is an international star!
"You?!ha! laugh at me!" Qian Huan smiled happily, and in a blink of an eye, he said in a serious low voice: "If you serve me comfortably, maybe one day I will let you surpass his fame!"
"Oh, dead ghost, I won't tell you! You bully me!" the female companion's small fist gently hit Qian Huan's chest, making Qian Huan laugh.
After laughing, he took his girlfriend's hand and sat down and began to watch the game.
Klopp sent a 433 formation today, with goalkeeper Mignolet, right-back Klein, central defenders Digan and Lovren, left wing-back He chose Moreno, midfielders are composed of N'Golo Kante, Emrejan and Coutinho, and the forward trio is Lallana, Zhang Yuan and Firmino.
