Chapter 326: List of National Teams
On November 1, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Group G Liverpool hosted Anderlecht.
In the last game between the two teams, Anderlecht lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool, and the only goal came from Steven Gerrard, and the referee made two rather controversial decisions in that game, both of which were in Anderlecht's favor, so Liverpool only narrowly won.
Back at Anfield and facing Anderlecht again, Liverpool are very confident.
In Belgium, when the opponent's home stadium and the referee are all in favor of the opponent, the team can win, let alone return to Anfield, no one thinks there will be any suspense in the game.
And so it turned out.
When Anderlecht arrived at Anfield, under the cries of 60,000 Reds fans, Anderlecht's performance was quite dismal, and it was a perfect word to describe their appearance, they had no resistance in the face of Liverpool's attack, and Liverpool took the opportunity to score two goals in just one half.
Anderlecht did not regroup in the second half, but was scored by Liverpool again in the opening period, and the game was out of suspense early.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Tiehan scored two goals in the game.
With these two goals, plus two goals from Real Betis in the first round, Zhang Tiehan's Champions League goals have reached four, and he has jumped to the top of the scorer list, scoring an average of one goal per game.
Compared with his number of games in the league, it is also one goal per game, and many media exclaimed, "Even if Zhang comes to England and Liverpool, the goal efficiency is still guaranteed." β
Zhang Tiehan's efficiency did make the other strikers desperate.
One goal per game, this is the average number jΓΉ, in fact, Zhang Tiehan also has bad times, such as the last Champions League clash with Chelsea. Neither team scored, and of course he didn't score, but when he played against a weaker team, such as Anderlecht, the opposing defenders couldn't limit him effectively, then his goals were a bit crazy. Scoring two goals in such a game, Liverpool fans are used to it.
This also made those media who didn't have a good impression of Zhang Tiehan sarcastically commented, "Strikers who will only score goals with weak teams." β
There are also media who stand up for Zhang Tiehan's 'unevenness' and point out that Zhang Tiehan and Chelsea also scored three goals in the game, and then these media immediately came to the spirit, they pointed out that in the Champions League between Liverpool and Chelsea, Zhang Tiehan did not score, and also said that the first three goals were scored because Chelsea was 'unprepared'. Mourinho was a little unexpected, and if he was prepared, Zhang Tiehan would have nothing to show off.
The two quickly quarreled.
"Zhang Zai can also score goals when playing against strong teams, and last season against AC Milan, Real Madrid and other teams, Zhang had a good appearance."
"And what about Juventus?"
"It's normal for players to not score in a lot of games, Zhang scores more goals than everyone else, and that's enough."
"Then he's just an average striker."
"Zhang scores more!"
"It's just going to score goals against weak teams"
Speaking of which, there is still no result, and those media who have no good impression of Zhang Tiehan wish that someone would come to quarrel with them. This will never come to fruition, no matter what the media that support Zhang Tiehan says. They will also not have a good impression of Zhang Tiehan, one of the representative is "Manchester Sport", as the tongue of Manchester United, it is strange that they can have a good impression of a Manchester United academy player who plays for Liverpool.
The better Zhang Tiehan's appearance, the more uncomfortable they became.
But Zhang Tiehan doesn't care about this, "Manchester Sport" keeps saying bad things about him. When he was in Manchester United's youth team more than two years ago, Manchester Sport newspaper had a bad assessment of him, and then he went to Wigan Athletic, because of Alexia's relationship, which was also a bad evaluation. When I go to Rome by myself, I don't know their attitude, but I don't think it's too good.
Now, still.
The media seems to be its own natural enemy.
Natural enemies? No, they can't become their natural enemies, they just don't care, they want to affect themselves, it's impossible, just ignore them.
Zhang Tiehan felt that the report in the Manchester Sport newspaper would not have an impact on him, but in fact, it did, at least affect his decision - he will not accept interviews with this media in the future.
Why?
Because he's a Liverpool player, that's enough!
As we move into November, the national teams have begun to call up players for a new round of training and competitions.
This call-up is quite important, because the team squad will be submitted to FIFA for the first time in February next year to prepare for next year's World Cup in Germany, so the list around Christmas is likely to be the squad for next year's World Cup, and the whole world is paying attention to the list of national teams.
England.
Eriksen announced his training squad on 2 November, and this time the Liverpool squad has had some strong momentum, with Steven Gerrard, Carragher and West Bromwich Albion on loan at Kirkland being selected to be unusual, while left-sided newcomer Warnock was a bit of a surprise.
Liverpool have a strong midfield, with Steven Gerrard and Carragher always being part of the England squad.
Kirkland is excellent in West Bromwich Albion, he was selected for the England team last time, and it is not surprising that Warnock was selected again, Warnock is unexpected, Warnock is twenty-three years old, and he is not young, but Liverpool's defense is quite poor, Warnock's defensive performance can only be regarded as average, and many media evaluate Warnock as "calm and a little lacking." β
He often makes low-level mistakes that can be almost fatal for a defender.
Warnock's performance in attack is not bad, as a left-back, he can give a lot of support to the midfield, and the attacking force of Liverpool's back line, Warnock is considered the best.
But his selection has added a lot of color to Liverpool, after all, the England team has always been Chelsea and Manchester United's 'dominance of the world', the two teams each have four places, and one is only four places, Liverpool only had two places before, and now it has become four, which makes the 'Liverpool faction' in the England team can compete with Manchester United and Chelsea.
After getting the news of the selection. Warnock was very happy, "It's fantastic, it will definitely help me make up for the disappointment last season. Istanbul left me with a strange experience: I should have been happy because I loved the club so much, but not being able to make the eighteen-man list hurt me. β
"I thought about it for a long time, how exactly I could improve. Luckily the manager has believed in me since the start of the season and I have become Liverpool's starting left-back. The England call-up certainly gave me more confidence, but at first I couldn't believe what the newspapers were saying until I got a text message from the FA at 7.15pm. In England, Ashley Cole is of course the first choice, but I'm confident in my ability and want to be given the opportunity to show what I can do. β
Warnock's only acquaintance in the England squad was Joe Cole, as they were former team-mates in the England School United, but his selection was still blessed by many.
Bole and Liverpool legend Kennedy, who discovered Warnock ten years ago, continued to cheer his disciples: "I don't see any reason why Warnock can't be selected for the World Cup in Germany. Warnock was selected for his own talent. He plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world and I'm sure he'll make a good impression this week. β
Kirkland also called Warnock and Eriksson explained the call-up of the young goalkeeper: "Kirkland is a promising young man who has suffered a lot of serious injuries but he is starting to have the ball to play now and I think it's a good time to watch him be. β
Just when England is talking about the Eriksen squad, in fact, Zhang Tiehan also has something to do with the squad. Before announcing the squad, Eriksen called Zhang Tiehan again. Would like to invite him to the England team.
After putting down the phone, another guy named Jove Thompson called, and Zhang Tiehan told him for a long time that he knew that this old man was the president of the FA.
But in the end, Zhang Tiehan decided to think again.
Eriksen and the England team are still sincere, but he still wants to wait for Klinsmann's squad, after all, compared to the England team. He prefers to be part of the German team, his predecessor grew up in Munich and is very close to Munich in his heart, and his desire to join the German team since he was a child is not interested in this wish. But if he had to choose between England and Germany, he would have chosen Germany β he couldn't find a reason to choose England.
But in the end, Zhang Tiehan was disappointed.
On the evening when Eriksen announced the England squad, Jurgen Klinsmann also announced his squad list, and Zhang Tiehan's name did not appear in the 23-man squad, with Podolski, Klose, Kuranyi and Asamoah up front.
Seeing this list, Zhang Tiehan was quite annoyed.
Podolski, Klose and Kuranyi are all very good players, and it is not surprising that the three of them can be selected for the German team, and even squeeze out their places, after all, they are all good, they have always been members of the German team, and they also play in the German league, which is an innate advantage.
Even if it is better to express themselves, if you consider the familiarity with the team and tactics, they still have an advantage.
But Asamoah, Zhang Tiehan didn't understand.
Asamoah, this guy has entered the German team before, but he only thinks that Asamoah is only a temporary call-up player, belonging to the kind of fringe players of the German team, and it is unlikely to enter the German team's World Cup squad, after all, his strength and appearance are limited.
Zhang Tiehan was not sure, so he checked Asamoah's information again.
Asamoah, born in Mampen, Ghana, played for BV Werder Hannover and Hannover 96, joined Schalke 04 in 1999, became a German citizen in 2002, and was selected for the German national team in 2004.
A Ghanaian, who plays for Schalke 04, scored just eight goals last season and has tally two so far this season.
Asamoah joined the German team after joining the German team.
Such a guy actually squeezed out his place? Zhang Tiehan quite didn't understand, could it be that his table would be worse than a Schalke 04 striker who didn't score?
