Winning the game and getting three points in the first round is a good result for Liverpool.

After the game, Benitez expressed his satisfaction with the game, Liverpool's away victory, it was still very good, and in an interview with reporters, Benitez said, "In the second half, we played a good game. ”

'You defended well, didn't give the opponent any chances, and you had a chance to score, so you should be satisfied.'

'We're doing a good job and I can already see that we're going to improve on the road compared to last season. I'm happy with the table, we didn't concede, we scored a goal. Now we need to turn our attention to the next game to make sure we can do the same. ”

Many reporters asked Zhang Tiehan questions after the game, and Zhang Tiehan's performance in this game was a little 'out of standard' in the eyes of media reporters, and the gap between him and his 'big four' in Bulgaria in the last game was not a little bit different.

Benitez simply said, "I wish he could do better, but he's only just joined the team. I have hope for him and that he will do better and better. ”

After the game, Liverpool media reported Benitez's statement and expressed their desire for Zhang Tiehan to play better and integrate into the team quickly so that he could play steadily.

Yes, they think that the reason why Zhang Tiehan is ordinary is only because he has just joined Liverpool and is not very suitable for the team, and his form will fluctuate a lot recently.

But other media outlets were noncommittal about this claim.

Not all English media support Zhang Tiehan, when English teams are fighting abroad, the media naturally support English teams, but in the Premier League, various media will only support local teams, such as Manchester media. will only support Manchester City and Manchester United, and other regional media are the same, Liverpool is their opponent, and Zhang Tiehan is naturally their opponent.

When it's not good for the watch, it's good if they don't speculate maliciously, let alone hope for it. I hope that's it.

The most disgusting to Zhang Tiehan undoubtedly belongs to the Manchester media, which is very influential in the north of England, including The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, and other influential local websites and sports programmes.

There are a lot of media outlets that support them.

Manchester, especially the pro-Manchester media, have the strongest ill feelings for Zhang Tiehan. Perhaps when Zhang Tiehan played for Roma, the Manchester media would still praise him, but when Zhang Tiehan joined Liverpool, he became the biggest enemy of Manchester United's media.

On British soil, Manchester United and Liverpool are hellish hatred.

The hatred between the two cities was planted long before the British Industrial Revolution before the club was founded. At the beginning of the 19th century, Manchester had rapidly developed into the industrial center of the United Kingdom, with many manufacturing plants in the city, and the raw materials needed by these factories had to be shipped from the southern United States to the United Kingdom, and the port of the United Kingdom was precisely Liverpool, that is, the raw materials had to reach Manchester. You have to pass through Liverpool, which is only 35 miles away, and this is all right, but one day. The Port of Liverpool unilaterally increased import duties to Manchester importers, causing dissatisfaction throughout Manchester, and in retaliation for Liverpool, Manchester dug a man-made canal of its own, so that raw materials could reach Manchester directly without passing through the Port of Liverpool.

Even now, cargo ships and canals can still be found in the crests of Manchester United and Manchester City.

From then on, the two cities began to fight each other, but it really made the two families the sworn enemies of mortal enemies. It stems from the tragedy of both sides, after Manchester United's Munich air disaster, some radical Liverpool fans ridiculed the tragedy, and made up a lot of songs to laugh at the tragedy to be sung during the game between the two sides.

In the 80s, Liverpool also had the Heathborough massacre. Unfortunately, some vengeful and radical Manchester United fans have retaliated......

Now it's not just the team, the two cities are living and being educated, with Manchester's children being taught to 'hate Liverpudlians' from an early age, and Liverpool doing the opposite.

This is also the reason why very few players have played for Manchester United and Liverpool at the same time, such players can be counted on two hands in the history of 100 years.

Zhang Tiehan was very 'lucky' to be one of them.

In this way, it is easy to imagine how hostile the Manchester people are to him, and it is strange that they can say good things about Zhang Tiehan, when Zhang Tiehan did not play well in the first leg, many northern media made things such as "Liverpool made a loss-making deal", "The game proved that Zhang may not be worth 30 million pounds", "Liverpudlians exchanged the championship for a parallel import" and so on.

As for whether this is the case? The media doesn't care so much!

Thankfully, Liverpool's victory left them with less to talk about, as the 'big teams' won almost all of the first round of the league, with Manchester United beating Everton by two goals, Arsenal beating Newcastle by two goals and Chelsea beating Wigan by one goal.

That's how the first round of the Premier League wraps up.

There are two people in the first round, one is naturally Zhang Tiehan, he is the England transfer king, and I don't know how many media are paying attention to his table, whether it is good or bad, the media has to do some reports, and some fans like to watch these reports.

The other is Wayne Rooney, who plays for Manchester United, and he is the best player of the round.

Returning to Goodison Stadium, Rooney had to bear the burden of attacking Manchester United, but also faced the alternative pressure of boos and countless former admirers stretching out two fingers to attack, but the 19-year-old Rooney conquered the crowd with a perfect watch, a goal, a through ball that tore through the opponent's entire defense and finally helped his teammates complete the duel, as well as deftly dodging Phil Neville's sliding tackle and multiple low crosses near the corner flag, Rooney seemed to be telling all Everton fans, The Toffees were not defeated by traitors, but lost in front of heroes, without resentment, without hatred, and only with a convincing defeat.

In the statistics after a match, Rooney's technical maturity was astonishing, shooting, passing, dribbling, and he got the best player of the round with a gorgeous number and a brilliant goal.

This time facing his old club, Rooney showed people the steady heart that Ferguson mentioned many times.

Rooney also showed the demeanor of a world superstar after the game, and when asked how he felt about playing against his former club Everton, he downplayed the emotional hurdle that many people struggle to cross with "I am a professional footballer".

Also as a young striker. Zhang Tiehan, who became the 'standard king' in the summer, was completely overwhelmed by Rooney.

However, for Liverpool, they don't seem to have time to keep an eye on other teams, other stars, and the work of the club is still ongoing, and there are all sorts of other things to deal with lately, not just new tactics and games. Good news and bad news one after another.

After the game against Middlesbrough, the good news was that former captain Hyypia has signed a new contract for the club.

Finnish defender Hyypia arrived at Liverpool at the start of the Houllier era and has been a steady captain for many years. After winning the UEFA Champions League last season, the 31-year-old asked for a contract extension from the club.

What is now confirmed is that the two sides will officially sign the renewal agreement after the Champions League qualifying match against CSKA Sofia.

'Obviously, I'm very, very happy to be able to get a new contract with Liverpool. Speaking on the club's official website, Hyypia said: "We have been in talks for several weeks, but I have never doubted the prospect of playing alongside Rafael Benitez. At this time. I can proudly say that I will stay here for at least three years. I've won all the trophies at this club except the Premier League and it would be perfect to be able to do that in three years. ”

Hyypia concluded with affection: "This is the greatest club in the world and I am delighted to be joining Gerrard, Carragher, Hamann and Traore after their contracts were renewed. ”

Of course, there is also bad news, and that is the injury problem.

The season has only just begun, but Liverpool's injury problems have even affected the line-up, and it was Zenden who was injured, and Zenden had to be suspended due to a muscle strain in training.

After Zenden came to Liverpool. He was identified as the main player, but now he is injured. And it's not just him who has been injured, Cenden's injury seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, and there are other people in the team who are also injured, such as Morientes, such as goalkeeper Dudek, Traore, and Semi and Pongele, some of whom were injured earlier. I have had surgery and are in the recovery period, and some are direct training, competition injuries, and even training has to be stopped.

And the super substitute who is very important to the team, the Czech star Barosz, has also been making transfer troubles.

Zhang Tiehan's arrival at Liverpool is equivalent to completely losing the position of Barosh, and he has now been reduced to the number four striker. He made it clear that he wanted to leave.

At the moment, Aston Villa and Lyon are the most enthusiastic about Baroshe, with the former having the more obvious advantage in this battle.

'I never turned down Aston Villa and never said I didn't want to go there. It was a high-level club and for me to join Aston Villa doesn't mean going backwards. Baros told reporters.

Maybe Zhang Tiehan's arrival, Barosh is mentally prepared, especially what makes him dissatisfied is that in such a situation, Liverpool is still considering buying Owen.

It has something to do with Gerrard.

'When I saw Michael at the England training camp this week, I wouldn't even ask him where he wanted to go in the next few weeks, I think everyone at the club would be looking forward to his return. Every morning I would wake up and read the newspaper, hoping to read the news that he had arrived. Imagine if he went to another club and came back to Anfield to score our goal? That would be a nightmare. Whoever signed him was guaranteed 20 goals in a season. In my opinion, he is the best scorer in the Premier League. ”

If Owen returns to Liverpool, then Baros will have to leave.

"Now at Liverpool, even if I have the best table, I won't be in the starting line-up, so it looks like it's better to leave. I love this club a lot, they have great fans, great stadiums, but I don't want to sit in the stands all the time. ”

The most promising place to go is Aston Villa, who made an offer last week, and Barosh has asked his compatriot Berg, who joined Villa from Portsmouth in the summer: "He didn't give me anything to do, let me make my own decisions. Villa is good, and going there is by no means a step backwards. ”

Barosche was pleased with Villa's attitude, "I talked about my salary request in the first meeting and they gave me a bit of a raise. ”

In addition to Villa, Lyon and Valencia are also calling for the European Championship Golden Boot winner.

But Barosh denied that he would reunite with Houllier: "I'm okay with Ligue 1, but I think La Liga and the Premier League are stronger. I had promised a move to Valencia. But they changed the head coach, so there was no trace of Qiē. ”

However, Liverpool will not simply let Baros go, perhaps in Benitez's heart, Baros still means a lot to the team, after all, he is Zhang Tiehan's 'most perfect substitute', Schalke 04 asked Liverpool to buy. As a result, Liverpool offered a high price of 7 million pounds.

Baros said, "It's certainly a lot of money and Schalke can't afford it." Liverpool paid £7 million for Crouch, so they want to get that money back, but that qiē has nothing to do with me. ”

So under the pressure of different opinions, Benitez had to adjust the price to 6.5 million pounds, but this is still a bit high for a substitute striker, and the media is even speculating that Baros has offended Benitez. As a result, Baros, who is in the national team, had to come forward to clarify the rumors, "Maybe after playing for the national team this week, when I return to England, hopefully the matter has been resolved." I have no personal conflict with Benitez, one is for the sake of football. ”

For Liverpool, if Owen can be brought in, Barosh's departure will not have much impact.

Benitez didn't make a clear statement on Irving, but everyone knows. If Owen's value can be lowered, Liverpool will definitely consider bringing Owen back to Anfield. Whether it is the team board, the team chairman, or Benitez as the head coach, the strength of England's golden boy is undoubted, not to mention that Owen was originally from Liverpool.

Once Owen returns to Liverpool, Owen and Zhang Tiehan will be a forward combination. Immediately become one of the best combinations in the world, how much power they can play, fans can imagine.

It was a dream......

Of course, this is not good news for other strikers, such as Morientes, who has always wanted to play in the main team, and Pongele, who is still recovering from injury. Another example is the good Cisse ...... In short, Owen's return is not good news for others, even if Zhang Tiehan only comes to Anfield for a month, they also know that they can't compete with Zhang Tiehan for the main position, Owen comes back, they are likely to be unable to compete, so they can only choose to leave.

Everyone doesn't say it, but everyone knows that many people have ideas, and it's not just the 'saddest' Barosh alone.

Maybe only Zhang Tiehan has no idea, he will be able to be a better partner when the golden boy returns, and he is not worried about the main position at all.

This can also be seen in training.

Zhang Tiehan put almost all his energy into training, getting up early in the morning to train his own long-range shooting, and going back late in the afternoon, either in the gym, or finding an assistant coach or teammate to train skills together, actively participating in every tactical training in daily training, in short, his training intensity of the day makes other people's scalps tingle, even if they have a lot of worries about Owen's 'possible return', they will not be 'jealous' of Zhang Tiehan's main position - none of them can train like this.

In the high-intensity training, Zhang Tiehan's progress is also obvious.

Quite obvious!

Have you ever seen a player who learns to pass the 'oxtail' today and can fool the defender Carragher tomorrow with this move?

Have you ever seen a player who is clumsy in tactical training today and can suddenly make a brilliant pass tomorrow?

If the Liverpool players heard someone say this, they would definitely laugh, but now they all believe it, Zhang Tiehan's progress is really too obvious, for any technology, cooperation, he seems to be able to learn, what is lacking is only experience and time.

That's not the most surprising thing.

Zhang Tiehan himself is a 1.9 meter tall man, and he is definitely a big man on the football field, but he can do many of his movements very flexibly, and he doesn't even need to be really in the game, just watching him use these actions is a visual enjoyment, such as turning quickly and changing direction These simple actions, but the physical requirements are very high, but Zhang Tiehan can do it, and many people are even worried that he will twist his waist at once...... Benitez shared the same concern, and after a training session, he even asked Zhang Tiehan to go to the team doctor for a check-up, and the report given by the team doctor showed that Zhang Tiehan's body was quite healthy, and his body's explosiveness and flexibility had reached a considerable level.

This number jù......

At night, Benitez sat in the office, looking at Zhang Tiehan's body report, and the corners of his mouth were smiling...... It was impossible for him not to laugh, the specific test report in his hand showed that Zhang Tiehan's body was as strong as a bull, and at the same time, this bull could make leopard-like movements.

Can cows climb trees? The pigs all laughed.

But it happened, Benitez also smiled, he believed that if this body report was released, it would definitely surprise the media, and it was estimated that Zhang Tiehan's value would rise a lot...... Of course, it doesn't help, but it's not bad to make old opponents sick.

In the end, Benitez didn't do that.

Zhang Tiehan is a nuclear bomb player in Liverpool, and the opponent will definitely work hard to defend, and if this core player still has a secret weapon...... Benitez will not refuse.

Standing up from his seat, Benitez stretched and looked at the lights in the training ground, and he felt very satisfied - Zhang Tiehan, with such strength and so hard work, it is no wonder that he will succeed. (To be continued......)
