Chinese For Liverpool's loss, Zhao Yaning just hung up the phone to his former teammates and comforted him. To the media, he didn't say anything. It's just a European Super Cup, it's not a big award, this award is not enough to make people realize what kind of virtue Americans are, and there is no need for them to have a war of words with Americans for such a small award, after all, they can't be busy with their own serious things, where can they take care of this?

At this time, it is more important to think more about the Champions League group grouping and your own integration into the team.

But fortunately, this time, in the group stage, there is no need to worry about encountering too much trouble. Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all teams in the first pot this season, and if you want to hype up a grudge, you can't draw opponents. And Milan is also the same first-tier team, and several of their enemies don't have to worry about running into them.

And if they can't be drawn, then, Zhao Yaning feels that other teams have nothing to worry about. Bayern and Juventus haven't even played in the Champions League this year, the Premier League is all in the first gear, and the Milan duo who are stronger in Serie A are also in the first gear, and the strongest team that can be met is at most a Lyon who now dominates the French league, but Lyon's strength, in Zhao Yaning's view, is not too threatening.

Real Madrid is indeed weaker than Liverpool. However, no matter how bad it is, it is also the first team in Europe, and its strength is not comparable to ordinary teams.

But even so, when he actually arrived in Monaco, things did not turn out to be his expectations.

Of course, it's not about the awards – this year's awards, there's nothing special. The best goalkeeper went to Petr Cech – who has played few games, but who most agree deserves the award for his ability to recover quickly from a serious injury and lead Chelsea to the last four. Even the other goalkeepers were consciously excited about it: it was a great encouragement for Cech who had returned from injury.

The best defender is Maldini - after the Champions League loss, Maldini was once rumored to retire, but under the club's hard persuasion, Maldini said that because there is really no one in the club, he is willing to play for an extra year - a 37-year-old veteran, and his performance is indeed very good, it is hard to say who is better than the top defender, but even if he does not talk about ability, relying on seniority, he won this award, no one has an opinion.

And the best striker is Kaka's - although he plays nominally as a midfielder, but sometimes, Milan does put him in the front line - because Berlusconi likes to play with two strikers, and Ancelotti sometimes fools him - although his style of play is not a regular striker, but at this time, people still let him get the best striker. He also gladly accepted this award, after all, he also knew that if he was in the midfield position, then he would have to compete with Zhao Yaning.

And the best player and the best midfielder are naturally Zhao Yaning's - although he has transferred, everyone has to admit that he is Liverpool's best performer. Even if Liverpool strongly advocated that it was Gerrard who deserved the award, but when Gerrard himself was interviewed, he said that Zhao Yaning deserved the award more, what else is there to say about this attitude?

"I'm grateful for everything Liverpool has given me. I'm grateful to my team-mates, I'm grateful to the coach, and I'm grateful to Mr. Morse and the fans, they're all people I'm extremely grateful to. I'm glad I got this award in Liverpool and I hope Liverpool can play better and better. ”

Zhao Yaning's words kicked in a circle, but he didn't mention the Americans, and the media also caught the topic, but these are not things that Zhao Yaning cares about. Comparatively, it was the Champions League grouping that really surprised him.

"Real Madrid, Olympiacos, Werder Bremen, Lazio."

Such a grouping made Zhao Yaning extremely surprised: Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to meet such a weak group?

Zhao Yaning has been playing in the Champions League for several years, and in my impression, this should be the easiest group he has ever encountered.

In the group, there is not even a strong team that is good enough, although Werder Bremen and Lazio are also teams in the five major leagues, but Werder Bremen just sold the absolute core of the team Klose in the summer, and Lazio can enter the Champions League, which is not unrelated to Fiorentina's point deduction, their strength can be said to be not very good, such a group makes Zhao Yaning simply have an idea: This is cheating, right? Where did such a good group come from without cheating?

He wasn't the only one who thought so, but when he came back to the team, everyone said that.

"In such a Champions League group, we can still have a huge advantage. We can focus more on playing a front, which can help us save a lot of energy, and in doing so, it will also help us to accumulate enough points before the Lent and the Africa Cup of Nations. Schuster was very happy with the draw, "We could have played better. ”

"How can it be a one-line battle, isn't there a cup competition?" Zhao Yaning opened his mouth and asked, "In the King's Cup, don't we have to play?" ”

In Zhao Yaning's memory, the Copa del Rey game was still not an easy task. Although there is only one cup competition, because the Spanish Copa del Rey format is home and away games to decide the outcome of the game, each round is two games, so, in Zhao Yaning's view, there are a lot of games, and the task is still very heavy.

But this view of his was immediately overturned.

"The Copa del Rey game, just leave it to the kids of the second team to play. What is there to be serious about such a competition? ”

Zhao Yaning asked for a while and learned about the situation in La Liga. Because of the small prize money and low gold content of the Copa del Rey competition, most teams do not look down on this award, so many times the team sends the second team to play the game. And this approach naturally caused no one to watch the game, and the more no one watched, the more no one played well, and in the long run, under the vicious circle, the Copa del Rey game has become a chicken rib.

And to what extent is the chicken rib?

"Atletico Madrid had a game against a low-level team, and because the game didn't even start, it was already a clear winner, so very few fans were willing to pay to come in and watch the game. And when it came to the official game, the fans of Atletico Madrid only went to 11 - the announcer on the scene all joked, "I don't recognize all the players, they are all second teams, but the fans are all hardcore, I know them all, let's introduce the fans directly, there are fewer people, and you can save some trouble" ......"

"In such a situation, the league doesn't care?" Zhao Yaning felt a little unimaginable. Who are these people?

"I can't control it, it's not that I don't want to play well, it's a matter of money. When money is there, it's hard to manage. ”

Zhao Yaning was speechless about this, he shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

"So, let's have a good half season. Half a season is on, and when it comes to the winter break, we have to have a good enough score. Schuster said, "Joey, how many points do you think is appropriate for us to go through half a season?" ”

"Half a season...... Fifty points is about the same goal, right? ”

This sentence made the teammates present extremely surprised, "Half a season, eighteen games and fifty points? How can it be! La Liga's half-season high is 46 points! Nineteen games in half a season, a total of fifty-seven points, if it is fifty points, doesn't it mean that after half a season, there are at most two games lost? How is this possible? ”

"I don't know the specifics of La Liga, anyway, I'm in the Premier League, if I don't have 50 points in the halfway, then in the second half, I'll be tired and half dead. It's not too high, I'm in the Premier League, haven't I reached 90 points for two consecutive seasons? ”

"Your substitutes are much thicker than La Liga! On the La Liga side, if you can have more than 70 points, you are already a group competing for the championship. ”

Zhao Yaning thought of something: the average salary of the Premier League is high, the squad thickness is good, and there are many rotations, so the team has a lot of wins, and at the beginning of the Premier League, as long as the two championship points are less than 80. However, the salary difference in La Liga is large, the level of substitutions is poor, and the thickness of the squad is naturally not very good. In La Liga, generally speaking, more than 70 points are a championship-level team, and above 80 points, it will be blown as a dominant team.

"But that was before." Zhao Yaning opened his mouth and said, "Since I'm here, then let's change the rules." Liverpool's bench is not too thick, I play games a year, and when I play a lot, I have to have 50 games - more than 70 points? It's just too low. Fifty points in the first half of the season, and a tight schedule in the second half of the season, even if it is 90 points in total, we should be able to do this score, right? ”

Zhao Yaning doesn't think it's a very high score - after two seasons at Liverpool, he feels that if you want to win the title, it's best to be safe. More than 70 points, like last season, relying on the relationship between victory and defeat to win the championship, in his opinion, it is very unsafe, get more points, win the championship safely, is what he wants.

As for physical strength, it was never a concern for him. If the team plays a single-line battle and cannot guarantee physical strength, then such a team is not interesting. Real Madrid's atmosphere is not very good, and Zhao Yaning also wants to rely on himself to raise the required standards to let them start to really enter the game.

Moreover, he feels that he has the ability to do this: the atmosphere in La Liga is so conducive to attack, if he can't lead the team to 90 points, then he is too bad.

He wants to change this team little by little, not only in terms of personnel, but most importantly, in terms of confidence. And what could be more exciting than a championship with terrible points?

"Ninety points, that sounds crazy." Guti muttered to himself, "Still, I'm quite impressed by what I'm saying." Let's try it. This season, let's see if we can get 90 points! ”

---------------------------------------

After the Champions League draw, they returned to La Liga, and the next game against Villarreal was away.

The team, coached by Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini, has also entered reform this season. They have put Riquelme on hold and now they have Milan veteran Tomasson and Italian teenager Giuseppe Rossi up front. In the midfield, there are Cazorla, Pire, Senna and other players, although it is said that Riquelme is missing, but on the books, it is still a strong team. It's just that the run-in this season doesn't seem to be very good, and they haven't been able to play very well, although many people are optimistic about them entering the Champions League, but in this game, people are more optimistic about Real Madrid.

And against them, it also made the Spanish media continue to pay attention to the question they were looking forward to: When is Zhao Yaning's debut goal ready to come?

"I don't know, just come when it's time to come." In this regard, Zhao Yaning was very calm, "There is no need to dwell on the problem of scoring goals." Anyway, even if you don't score, the team wins. ”

Such a statement is obviously a bit too unpursued, which also makes many media speculate, "Maybe Zhao Yaning's goal will come later." He didn't even dare to give an exact time. ”

However, in the Love Song Stadium, Zhao Yaning left everyone speechless in the first five minutes. Ruud van Nistelrooy received a cross from Ramos and played the ball back to Zhao Yaning. And Zhao Yaning was in front of the penalty area, with a long shot, breaking the gate!

In the opening five minutes, Zhao Yaning scored! In this game, Zhao Yaning's condition is extremely good! "Cat flutter Chinese
