Chapter 369: I, Zhang Tiehan, am back again!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Paul wouldn't have believed it at all, he knew that some strong athletes could have the ability to recover faster than ordinary people, but that was very rare, for example, half a year's injury could recover in four and a half months, and it was still possible to recover in a very good state and eat and exercise on weekdays.
But in any case, three months is too much!
This can only be described as a medical miracle!
Paul did a check on Zhang Tiehan, and he was sure that there was no problem, but he couldn't get a package ticket, after all, Zhang Tiehan was really injured before, so Paul still reminded Zhang Tiehan not to do the dangerous actions that were injured before, and Zhang Tiehan understood after listening to them - in short, you have to remember how you were injured before, don't do the same dangerous actions, otherwise you may still be injured.
Isn't this nonsense?
It was Gary Neville who kicked him before, and it is estimated that it will take a year to recover from the injury, or even more severely, which is not a dangerous action that he is willing to do, and Paul's meaning is as if to say, "Your bare feet are healthier than before, don't worry about playing football, no problem." โ
Zhang Tiehan understood.
In the afternoon, he returned to the training base to train with his teammates.
Benitez hurriedly asked about his recovery, and Zhang Tiehan told Benitez what Paul said, but Benitez was still not at ease, after all, during the previous inspection, it was said that Zhang Tiehan would recover in half a year, and there may even be sequelae, and now the time has only passed less than three months, which is really a bit too fast.
As a result, Zhang Tiehan had to do another inspection, an inspection in the club. Veteran team doctor Jill Brown examined Zhang Tiehan, who was an orthopaedic surgeon at Liverpool Hospital 20 years ago and is now a team doctor at Melwood, and his job is much easier, after all, the 'patients' he needs to take care of are only a few dozen Liverpool players. Only a few of them were occasionally injured.
Jill Brown still has a lot of experience.
He did a detailed examination of Zhang Tiehan's bare feet, and during the whole process, Benitez watched from the sidelines, and finally Jill Brown came to a conclusion, he straightened his eyes and looked at Benitez, "Mr. Benitez, are you sure you're not kidding me?" I'm sure this lad hasn't been injured before with a bare foot! โ
Benitez was stunned.
Then he nodded. Pulling Zhang Tiehan and leaving immediately, Zhang Tiehan was wondering, Benitez said, "This old man has a big temper. โ
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from Gil Brown, "Benitez, even if you are the manager of Liverpool, I am just a little doctor." You shouldn't play such a joke with me either! And what about the Liverpool manager! I'm twenty years older than you! Why did you run so fast, I haven't figured out how to settle accounts with you."
As a result, Benitez went faster.
Zhang Tiehan knew it for the first time. Dr. Jill Brown turned out to be so short-tempered that he couldn't even provoke Benitez, so he amused Benitez and asked, "Sir, can I go to training then?" โ
Benitez stopped. looked at Zhang Tiehan, and finally nodded, "Since Brown said so, I also believe that you are really fine, go training." โ
He spoke calmly.
But in fact, Benitez is still very confused. After Zhang Tiehan left, he went back to Jill Brown and asked to see the test results, and in Jill Brown's constant roaring explanation, Benitez roughly understood what Jill Brown meant.
After examination, there is not much difference between Zhang Tiehan's injury and the bare part of his left foot, and even the number of jรน is much higher, Zhang Tiehan is good at using his right foot, which is also normal, and it is precisely because of this that Jill Brown thinks that Benitez is playing with himself, and this number jรน can't see that he has been injured before.
It was only at this point that Benitez was truly reassured.
He didn't have the heart to entangle with Jill Brown at all, when he knew that Zhang Tiehan was completely recovered, he was immediately filled with surprises, during this time, from December to February, Liverpool's results have declined significantly, it should be said, almost like the previous team, before the media said, "Zhang Tiehan will make Liverpool's strength go up a notch", Benitez is actually noncommittal, he feels that the more important thing is his tactical ability and the efforts of all the team, after all, the collective amount is also higher than the individual.
Now he doesn't see it that way.
Zhang Tiehan was absent for nearly three months, Liverpool's strength has obviously plummeted, the team was eliminated by Arsenal in the League Cup semi-finals in mid-January, and the league results have also risen and fallen, the most important thing is the team's offensive efficiency, from Christmas to the end of January, Liverpool experienced an embarrassing period of seven consecutive games without scoring, until Cisse broke out strongly, and scored a key goal against Charlton Athletic with his individual ability.
Now Liverpool is no longer second in the league, the calm Manchester United has taken the initiative and has overtaken Liverpool in points, this is still Liverpool completed two play-offs, although there is only one point difference, but compared with the previous advantage of one less game than Manchester United, it can be seen how bad Liverpool has played in the league in the past three months.
The team's most prominent problem is the ability to score.
After Zhang Tiehan's injury, Liverpool fell into a goal drought for a long time, and they did a good job defensively, with Liverpool recording a record of 1,059 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal in January, but at the same time they did not score a single goal.
This is Liverpool after Zhang Tiehan's injury.
The league was overtaken by Manchester United, and the first place Chelsea has a gap of 9 points, in the case of eleven rounds of the league, even if Liverpool wins all the next leagues, I am afraid there is no chance to compete with Chelsea for the title, the team wants to compete for the league championship is really not much, at most and Manchester United to compete for the second place in the league.
In the domestic cup competition, the FA Cup was started, Liverpool met the small team in the first round, but advanced to the next round of the competition, but the League Cup final was eliminated by Arsenal, and the only thing Liverpool can compete for is the FA Cup, which they will join after Christmas.
In the Champions League, Liverpool's shape is not very good.
The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round has ended, and Liverpool are beaten 1-0 away to Benfica, which is not too bad, but considering Liverpool's attacking ability and Benfica's very flashy table, the outcome of the two teams at Anfield is really difficult to predict.
This is how Liverpool are currently playing in all competitions.
Now Liverpool, the League Cup is gone, the league is difficult to compete with Chelsea for the title, then there is only hope to compete for the FA Cup and the Champions League, because of this, the media that pay attention to Liverpool are a lot less, Liverpool without Zhang Tiehan is really lacking, their table is very disappointing, although it is still a strong team, but compared with the strong Blues of England's table, and Arsenal who can almost 'sweep Real Madrid' in the Champions League, it is a lot worse.
As for Manchester United...... It's hard to be a brother.
Zhang Tiehan also paid attention to the team's situation when he was recovering from injury, he knew the team's results very well, and he also knew the problems encountered by the team, but he didn't pay attention to it at all - Lao Tzu is ready to return, will the team still have any forward problems?
Although he didn't say it, that's what he thought.
After getting permission from Benitez to train with the team, Zhang Tiehan was really excited, these three months really suffocated him, and he couldn't wait to go directly to the green field to kill him.
Zhang Tiehan changed his jersey as soon as possible, walked out of the locker room and ran frantically to the first-team training ground, in front of the goal, he happily said hello to the old Gyer who managed the stadium, and when Gyลr was strange, Zhang Tiehan had already run into the stadium.
Then he looked at the group of teammates who were running laps under the guidance of the assistant coach, and laughed with his hands on his hips, "Hahahaha, look, look!" I, Zhang Tiehan, are back! โ
A group of teammates all stopped and looked up at the sky...... There seemed to be a few seagulls flying by.
waited for Zhang Tiehan to explain, and everyone knew that Zhang Tiehan's injuries had all been healed, and he had also checked Jill just now, that is to say, Zhang Tiehan would be able to play for the team from today onwards.
Gerald and the others were very happy.
Do they know that without Zhang Tiehan, the team's forward goal is weak, and with Zhang Tiehan, the team has the guarantee of scoring, rather than only praying to God to score goals in every game, which is really not a good feeling.
Of course, there are also those with complex visions, such as Cisse.
After Zhang Tiehan left, Cisse became the No.1 striker, and it was difficult for Morientes to shake his position, all because of the goal comparison between the two, Cisse has often scored goals in games in recent times, and now he has scored eleven goals in the league and entered the top ten scorers, while Morientes can still only play as a second striker.
Cisse thought he would be Liverpool's number one killer this season.
Zhang Tiehan is back......
There is no need to think about it at all, Cisse knows that his No.1 scorer position will not be kept, but at the same time he also exhales a long breath and relaxes a lot, although the top scorer in the team is good, but he also has to bear a lot of pressure, because many opportunities in the team will be given to the top scorer, if you can't score often, then you will definitely be criticized, and your teammates will be dissatisfied with you.
Now that Zhang Tiehan is back, although he has handed over the top scorer position, the team's goals are guaranteed, his pressure is much less, and more importantly, he may not have fewer opportunities to play, after all, the team has to play in the league, FA Cup and Champions League.
In the three competitions, the number of appearances as the team's second scorer will not be less. (To be continued......)
