Liverpool teammates are still very sympathetic to Zhang Tiehan, after all, Zhang Tiehan was blown out of the goal, although Gerrard was also blown one, but Gerrard scored another goal in the end, he was also the best player of the game, and Zhang Tiehan worked hard for nothing.

They didn't notice that before they knew it, they were all used to Zhang Tiehan's goals.

Although Zhang Tiehan actually didn't really appear in the game much after coming to Liverpool, they have become accustomed to scoring goals as long as Zhang Tiehan plays.

This time Zhang Tiehan didn't score, and the Liverpool players felt very awkward.

Zhang Tiehan was depressed and in a bad mood, but they felt that it was normal, and they could fully understand it.

Despite this, Zhang Tiehan still felt very depressed, but Liverpool's schedule did not allow him to digest the depression, and after returning to Liverpool, the team only had a short day of training before ushering in a new competition - the English League Cup.

The English League Cup kicked off back in August.

Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League last season, and according to the rules of the League Cup, the top 10 teams in the Premier League can start from the third round of the League Cup, so this is Liverpool's first League Cup, and they were not so lucky to draw an opponent who is not too weak - Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace were part of the Premier League last season but finished third from bottom in the league and were relegated to the English Championship.

Due to the impact of relegation, Crystal Palace sold several key players in the summer, and the strength of the team declined.

Despite this, their overall strength is still in the upper echelons of the Championship, their Championship is very competitive, and the overall strength is not much weaker than the average team in the Premier League. The old Jazz drew a team from the English Second Division, and that was the real good signing.

But in the end, Liverpool still have to face opponents.

However, if you want to advance to the next leg, it will definitely be dangerous to play with a substitute lineup, so Benitez decided to change most of the main players after thinking about it before the game.

After all, after this game, it is an international break. The team will be suspended for a week.

Rafael Benitez doesn't think about the form of the team's stars in the national team, especially the best players such as Steven Gerrard, who are not in the best form and are placed on the bench in Eriksen's team, so as to better ensure the form of the players

There was no grudge between the two teams.

Historically, Crystal Palace has spent most of their time in the lower leagues, while Liverpool have been in the top league, and the two teams are completely at two levels, and Liverpool have a glorious history. Crystal Palace only have a history of struggle, and the two teams have not met many times in their history.

But last season, the final match between the two teams left Palace angry with Liverpool.

It was just a normal league game at Anfield.

For Liverpool, winning that game will not overtake city rivals Everton in the league points, but for Crystal Palace, winning that game. They would have been able to survive relegation and they would have hoped that Liverpool would be able to 'let the water go'. But in the end they lost the game 2-1.

It can be said that Liverpool kicked Crystal Palace to the Championship.

Of course, this is just the thoughts of extremists.

Crystal Palace's relegation is normal, they were only a promoted team last year, they didn't adapt to the top flight, they didn't play well all season, and that's why they were relegated, not one or two games. But among Crystal Palace's current players, those who were also at Crystal Palace last season, they are very resentful of Liverpool.

They all came up from the second division with Crystal Palace.

They had hoped to do well in the top flight, but they were back in the second division in one season, which was nothing short of fatal for them.

In particular, there are many players who are not famous.

Those players who are famous and have excellent appearances. Naturally, they are not worried about the team's relegation, because they can find a better club, and these players who are not famous and average can only stay in the team and continue to fight in the second league.

They lost almost in the top league stage table xiàn.

It's simply fatal for a professional footballer.

As players who have slowly climbed up from the lower leagues, they always dream of having a bigger stage, more attention, playing against stronger opponents, and improving their fame and strength, but this wish cannot be realized because of the failure of the game against Liverpool.

At least not this season.

They can only 'struggle' for one season in the second division, and that's where they are now.

For the club as a whole, the loss of relegation was even more severe, with many outstanding players leaving the team, and financially speaking, the relegation cost the club at least 30 million euros, a huge loss that made Crystal Palace fall from a 'quasi-Premier League powerhouse' to a 'good Championship team'.

One can imagine what attitude Crystal Palace will have towards Liverpool

Crystal Palace are resentful of Liverpool, Liverpool doesn't matter, many of them have forgotten last season's ordinary league game, it was a meaningless game for them.

They had no idea that Crystal Palace would hate Liverpool.

If you want to play against Everton, against Manchester United, or even against Manchester City, Liverpool can think of players who hate them in these teams, Crystal Palace? Even newcomers to England have never heard of this team, after all, they spend most of their time in the second division.

It's really hard to have any intersection between the two teams.

One side is very hostile to the opponent and the other side is unaware, so it becomes normal for such a game to be played as a bit unexpected

"Danny-Butterfield!" The referee's whistle blew, and it was Butterfield again, and it was his foul again.

Butterfield, who had just committed a foul, stretched out his hands to make an innocent gesture, as if he had been greatly wronged, and Gerard stood up from the grass with a rough pant and a somewhat vicious face.

Gerrard wants the referee to give Butterfield a yellow card.

Of course, it would have been better if it had a red card.

But apparently it was just an ordinary foul in the eyes of the referee, so the referee gave Butterfield a verbal warning. Gerald looked helpless, and Zhang Tiehan ran to comfort him, while looking at Butterfield who walked away viciously.

Butterfield seemed to feel Zhang Tiehan's gaze and looked back at him innocently.

That look was really innocent.

In the space of ten minutes, Butterfield had already committed three fouls, but he always 'impressed' the referee with an innocent expression. That look was so real that it was as if he was the one who was 'fouled', so he committed three fouls and the referee didn't give him a yellow card.

"This guy is really good at acting!" Gerald made a vomiting motion.

Zhang Tiehan nodded.

Soon with Zhang Tiehan's impact on the Crystal Palace team, Crystal Palace strengthened its defense against him, and Butterfield also ran over to defend Zhang Tiehan, and it was only at this time that Zhang Tiehan knew why Gerrard said that this guy's defense was disgusting.

"Nima !!"

Zhang Tiehan touched his ass and ran two steps to the side, avoiding Butterfield from a distance. Just as he was about to rush forward, Butterfield actually stuck to him and stroked his ass hard.

Zhang Tiehan was so disgusted that he almost kicked him in the back.

He was about to scold Butterfield, the referee ran over to inquire about the situation, Zhang Tiehan hurriedly wanted to speak, but he could only point at Butterfield embarrassedly, "He, he touched my ass!" ”

Butterfield waved innocently.

The referee looked at Zhang Tiehan like that, and that look made Zhang Tiehan very angry. But he really didn't know what to say or what to do. Butterfield was definitely deliberate, and he defended in this disgusting way.

After the farce, Zhang Tiehan decided that no matter what Butterfield did, he would try not to be affected.

Oh yes!

Isn't it just touching the butt? Lao Tzu is a man, are you still afraid of touching? In order to score a goal, Lao Tzu will let you touch it a few times. How!

Within a few minutes, when Zhang Tiehan jumped up and scramble, he was lying on the ground again.

"My Nima Fuck Bastard!"

Zhang Tiehan covered his crotch with one hand, and couldn't help blurting out all kinds of foul language, he didn't care about the referee coming over at all. He was already furious.

"Zhang and Butterfield had an aerial encounter, and the two didn't seem to have any violent physical collisions, but Zhang looked painful and annoyed" The live TV camera pointed directly at Zhang Tiehan, only to see his face full of pain, and at the same time looking at Butterfield viciously.

Butterfield ignored Zhang Tiehan and took the opportunity to grab the ball and kick it towards the Liverpool half, but the referee blew the whistle at the same time.

"Butterfield, foul!"

Butterfield didn't argue anything, just shrugged his shoulders innocently, as if he were a victim.

Zhang Tiehan was even more angry when he saw his expression, and his eyes flashed with ferocity when he looked at Butterfield, as if he was about to break out and hurt people in the next moment, and the referee hurriedly stopped between the two.

But in fact, it is very difficult for Zhang Tiehan to do anything.

His right hand was covering his crotch, grinning with teeth, that look was not like a pretend, he was really in pain, and he had to jump his legs when he took two steps first.

At first, the referee thought that Zhang Tiehan was pretending, after all, this was the player's usual trick on the field - using pain to win sympathy, but when his penalty was over, Zhang Tiehan still maintained that action, that kind of expression, he also felt that something was wrong.

When he saw that Zhang Tiehan was not pretending, he waved his hand to let the team doctor play.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan felt a little better, he struggled to take two steps, he did not rush to Butterfield who used despicable means against him excitedly, but jumped on the spot a few times, and then he curled up with his teeth and mouth, as if he was experiencing great pain.

Just when everyone was wondering what was wrong with Zhang Tiehan, the live TV broadcast had already begun to replay the slow motion just now.

The football flew over.

Zhang Tiehan rushed forward and jumped up to stop the ball with his chest, he grabbed the point as soon as possible, jumped directly on the spot and unloaded the ball with his chest, a series of actions were extremely accurate and skillful, and it can be seen that Zhang Tiehan is very skilled in stopping the high-altitude ball.

But just as Zhang Tiehan unloaded the ball and was about to pull back Butterfield behind him, the two had some close physical conflicts, and then Zhang Tiehan fell directly to the ground.

"What exactly happened???

If you can't see clearly, change the angle.

Soon it was played from a different angle on the TV, this time to the left side, Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball and suddenly turned around, his movements were very skillful, Butterfield didn't react at all, and as a result, his body collided with Zhang Tiehan, at this time, Butterfield stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at Zhang Tiehan's crotch!?

Crotch!?

Through the replay of the footage from this angle, everyone saw Butterfield's movements and knew what he had done, and at that moment, the hand seemed to be gripping very tightly.

All the male fans who saw this footage tightened their legs almost at the same moment and gasped - the eggs hurt so much! (To be continued......)
