The first round of the second round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers has begun. Liverpool plays the Welsh TNS All Network Team at home, and the game is held at Anfield Stadium. The chapters are updated the fastest

At the beginning of this game, other Premier League teams were still doing pre-season training, and teams from other leagues had not even gathered, and Liverpool had already started such an important game.

At the same time, their archenemy Everton also played for the second round.

Everton was fourth in the league last season. According to the rules of entering the Premier League in the Champions League, both the third and fourth places have to participate in the qualifiers, so Everton also has to play the second leg.

The two mortal enemies in the same city are the same in the European arena.

The entire city of Liverpool has been in the atmosphere of the Champions League qualifiers, but fortunately, the fans of the two teams do not think that the team will lose in the game. After all, there are few strong teams participating in the Champions League qualifiers, such as Liverpool, who met Wales' teams. Although the TNS Network team performed well in the Welsh League, it would be nice to enter the Premier League when they came to England.

This is the gap between the major and minor leagues.

So there are not many people who really pay attention to the game. Most media still don’t care about games without suspense. Only Liverpool reporters pay attention to the game, but they see the team’s pre-season preparations and the team’s status, rather than the result of the team’s matches with their opponents.

The result? Do you still need to think about it?

If the defending champion of the Champions League falls in the Champions League qualifiers, it may be more miraculous than the miracle of Istanbul created by Liverpool.

But there were still many fans who came to Anfield Stadium to watch the game that day.

During the reporter's interview before the game, Liverpool fans answered the reasons for watching the game. First, they support the team, want to see the team's game, care about the team's status, and come to see how the new team's stars perform.

Needless to say, the former is self-evident. The latter naturally refers to Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan is a star who Liverpool spent a Champions League championship, with a 30 million pound figure. Not to mention Liverpool, even Manchester United, Chelsea are still a huge transfer figure. At this price, you can buy a small club that is qualified to upgrade to the Premier League, but Zhang Tiehan is only worth it.

Fans are naturally very concerned about players of such value.

Zhang Tiehan is no longer a rookie in England. He once played for Wigan Athletics, which made many English fans know him. He was also the top scorer in the League One that season. Now this former top scorer in the League One, the top scorer in the Serie A and top scorer in the Champions League who just finished the season came to Liverpool. Liverpool fans are still quite happy. They hope that Zhang Tiehan can continue to win the honor of the top scorer in Liverpool.

It’s a pity that at the pre-match press conference, Benitez announced the game roster. Zhang Tiehan was just a substitute player.

Benitez did not let Zhang Tiehan appear in the starting lineup. It is probably because he considered that Zhang Tiehan had not been there for a long time to come to the team. He would first look at other people's games and then participate in it. After all, this is his first appearance at Anfield Stadium, which is still quite important to him.

Before the game, TNS coach McKenna and a group of players expressed their expectations for the game.

For most players in the TNS network, Liverpool is a behemoth, and the gap between them and Liverpool is too big. Being able to appear as Liverpool opponents at Anfield Stadium is also an honor. Many of them are Liverpool fans, and left-back John Ballers Lawlis is one of them.

On May 25, he and his childhood friend witnessed the big reversal of his beloved team in Istanbul, but the friend died in Bulgaria due to meningitis.

In the pre-match player channel, Ross Lawlis said: "That was a tragedy. I hope to get Gerald and Zhang's jerseys after the game against Liverpool, and I can auction the jerseys and raise some money for his family."

Basil's experience is a bit tragic, but his thoughts and opinions also represent the majority of TNS people. They can only look up to Liverpool, and when looking at players like Zhang Tiehan and Gerald, they can only raise their heads high. The gap between the two teams is too big.

This is also reflected in the game.

When the two teams started, although the TNS network team showed considerable fighting spirit, the gap between them and Liverpool was too big. After only five minutes, they were unable to maintain the offense and could only defend passively.

Then Gerald scored goals in the 16th and 31st minutes respectively, and the score became 2-0.

It is difficult for the entire tns network team to have any chance.

Such a game is boring and there is no suspense at all. For Liverpool and Benitez, this is just a training game, and it is also good to be a pre-season warm-up match, so the players are very active.

Ten minutes into the second half, Benitez replaced Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan warmed up on the sidelines for a while before appearing. When he appeared, applause came from the stands around Anfield Stadium. This was Liverpool fans welcoming Zhang Tiehan.

When Zhang Tiehan came to Liverpool, due to the rush of time, the club did not prepare any welcome ceremony for him, and no one introduced him to Liverpool fans. But now Zhang Tiehan is quite famous, and almost few Liverpool fans don’t know Zhang Tiehan and his appearance. It doesn’t matter whether the welcome ceremony is there, but Liverpool fans still use applause to express their welcome to Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan looked around happily and raised his hands to the fans in the stands to signal.

He is like a king.

Not only the fans, but the moment Zhang Tiehan stepped onto the court, all the players of the TNS Network team, including their coach and various substitutes, watched it.

"That's Zhang!"

"He is the double scorer of Serie A and Champions League."

"I was looking forward to playing with him before, but now I hope he won't play..." TNS All Network players discussed privately, but their opinions could not affect whether Zhang Tiehan appeared.

After Zhang Tiehan came on the court, he replaced Baroshi as a high center forward.

He originally thought his game would go very smoothly, but in fact it was not. Barros was a high center. In Benitez's tactics, he was a tactical center. He had a pitiful number of receptions. Last season, Barros played 90 minutes and only got thirteen balls. This data was really pitiful.

Liverpool players are used to this style of play.

After Zhang Tiehan appeared, his running style was different from Barroche, but his positioning was the same as Barroche. So he didn't receive many balls, and he found that he often went to compete for the ball in front, but Liverpool's wing was not very strong, and the cross was quite unthreatening, so his heading ability was difficult to play.

Ten minutes into the court, Zhang Tiehan only received four passes and had almost no performance, which made him somewhat depressed.

He had to communicate with Gerald. "Pass more to me! Steven!"

"Okay, I will." Gerald said helplessly.

Gerrard could understand Zhang Tiehan's feelings, but Liverpool's side is indeed not powerful, and more passes are directly used to attack from the middle, so Gerrard and Alonso have a lot of passes and receiving, and it is not easy for them to pass the ball from the middle to the front, so they can only push it slowly.

At the 75th minute of the game, Gerald took advantage of a cooperation opportunity to score another goal. The score was rewritten to 3:0, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Tiehan.

In the last ten minutes, Zhang Tiehan had to go to the right track. The continuous running back and forth made Liverpool's formation a little messed up, but he used his personal ability to forcibly pass through the TNS players and scored the ball.

The score is also frozen at 4:0.

Liverpool won a big victory, Gerrard scored a hat-trick, and his performance was perfect. Although Zhang Tiehan scored a goal in his debut at Anfield, the media and fans' comments on him were average after the game.

"He hasn't adapted to Liverpool yet." This is the public opinion.

But no one doubts Zhang Tiehan's personal ability. His ability has been shown in the last goal. What's more, without ability, it is impossible to become the double scorer of Serie A and Champions League.

No matter what the fans or the media think, Zhang Tiehan's feeling in the game is not very good. There are not many passes, which is completely different from the feeling in Rome. When in Rome, he was the only one point in the frontcourt of the team. Everyone, yes, every teammate will pass the ball. Even if the opponent defends him closely, he still has many opportunities. Now it is different. In the game, new teammates will play their own cooperation, and they are just one of them. Oh, no, even one of them is not counted. It becomes difficult to get the opportunity.

Zhang Tiehan's face showed that he was not in a good mood.

At the end of the game, Gerald was quite excited. He scored three goals and scored a hat trick. Although he only played against the TNS All Network Team, his opponent's strength was very different from Liverpool, but it was also good to have a hat, but Gerald still noticed Zhang Tiehan.

He walked to Zhang Tiehan, patted his shoulder and comforted, "It's nothing, Zhang, you scored a goal!"

"This is the first goal at Anfield Stadium, you should be happy!"

"Yes, Zhang!" Alonso smiled, "You know, I came to Anfield Stadium and it took me more than two months to score the first goal, and you were just the first game!"

Zhang Tiehan smiled.

But the smile was a little stiff no matter how he looked. Of course he didn't want to do this, but the feeling during the game was really bad, so he couldn't laugh, so he still thanked him, "Thank you, Steven, Harvey, thank you. I will adapt as soon as possible."

Gerald laughed, too.

Hearing Zhang Tiehan's words, Gerald was very happy from the bottom of his heart. He was not satisfied with scoring a goal in the first game. This was because of cooperation and other reasons. Such teammates... had really high requirements. Even if he transferred to other clubs, he would not ask for his performance in the first game. After all, everyone has to adapt. In his opinion, Zhang Tiehan's requirements are really high!

But that's how he is happier.

In the past, Liverpool had no outstanding teammates. What Gerald wanted to see most was that he had good teammates so that the team could be stronger and he could fight for various championships together. It was too difficult and too tiring to do it alone.

They won the Champions League in May.

But Gerald knew that there was a bit of luck. Perhaps God might stand behind Liverpool. That was not Liverpool’s real strength, just like the media commented - that was a miracle.

Normally, Liverpool has no strength to compete for the championship.

And now there is hope.

Everyone has hope, every team has hope, Gerald's hope is to pursue the championship, and Liverpool is his favorite team. He likes to stay here and the fans here. He hopes to win honors in Liverpool. Zhang Tiehan's arrival makes the hope even greater.
