Chapter 296 Wait!

When Liverpool meets Chelsea...

Neither Benitez nor Mourinho's face looked very good. Liverpool eliminated Chelsea last season, but the two teams played very difficult. Although Chelsea's strength seems to be stronger and stronger in the league, it is not easy to play in the real match between the two teams.

Zhang Tiehan drew a stinky tag himself.

Facing many gazes, he laughed and snatched the host's microphone, "Chelsea, a good opponent, I like it very much." After that, he looked at Mourinho provocatively, then returned the microphone to the beautiful host, and then walked off the stage.

A buzzing sound immediately came from the audience.

Almost everyone is discussing the grouping between Liverpool and Chelsea. This is a rare encounter in a century. Both teams are England teams, and being in the same group is strange enough. Moreover, Liverpool eliminated Chelsea last season, and the two teams are league opponents again. In other words, they have to fight four times this season... four times!

Only Ferguson smiled.

For Manchester United, this is the best result. The two opponents have to fight to the death. They just need to stand aside and reap the power of the fisherman. Wenger also has a smile on his face. Perhaps the Frenchman is also very scared. You should know that Chelsea may also meet Arsenal, but fortunately they meet Liverpool.

Mourinho was dark-faced and stared at Zhang Tiehan who stepped down.

Others didn't care, but he cared very much. Zhang Tiehan just said that Chelsea was and glared at him fiercely. He had seen such a 'thorny' player, "Fortunately he didn't bring him to Chelsea." Mourinho thought, but he also had a headache about being in the same group with Liverpool.

Liverpool's strength is worse than Chelsea, that's for sure.

But Mourinho would rather meet teams like AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Barcelona than Liverpool. This is because the two teams are so familiar with each other. Even if Chelsea is stronger, their game can only be played 55. After all, Liverpool is not a weak team, especially this season, which has introduced heavyweight stars like Zhang Tiehan.

Fortunately... Zhang Tiehan is not performing well at the moment.

This is the only thing Mourinho is pleased that he wishes that Zhang Tiehan is completely unable to adapt to Liverpool. He cannot adapt to the Premier League, so that Liverpool's strength will not be much stronger, and it can also prove his vision, at least prove to Abramovich that this is very important, after all, Russians are Chelsea's no.1.

With Zhang Tiehan's current performance at Liverpool, he is not worthy of his high value of 29 million pounds.

No matter how everyone talked about it, the result was already out and it could not be modified. Next, other lottery draws and awards were started. In the end, the most popular Best Player award was given to Gerald.

Gerrard is the spiritual pillar of Liverpool's Champions League victory.

In the Champions League last season, Gerrard performed very well. In the group stage against Olympiacos in December last year, Gerrard's key goal brought the team into the knockout stage, otherwise Liverpool's group would be eliminated. Then in the adversity of falling behind 0-3 in the final, Gerrard scored another header, sounding the horn of counterattack.

With such performance, Gerald deservedly won the title of Best Player in the European Games.

In addition, the "Champion Coach Award" was awarded to Benitez and Gazaev, who led the team to win the Champions League and the League Cup respectively.

At the same time as the awards were presented, the other two teams in Group G where Liverpool is located are Anderlecht and Betis. Fortunately, these two teams are not strong teams, and Group G cannot be considered a death group.

On the night after the draw, William Hill, a famous European bookmaker, immediately adjusted the odds for winning the championship.

Chelsea is still the number one favorite to win the tournament.

Chelsea has always been favored because of their strength. It is also because of the champion coach Mourinho, and ranked second, with Barcelona and AC Milan. These two teams are quite strong. Rijcard's Barcelona is called the Dream Team, and Real Madrid, which suppressed in La Liga, can't breathe. AC Milan has always been a strong contender for the championship. They were the champions of the Champions League last season and the runner-up in the Champions League last season. Such a result is amazing.

As the defending champion Liverpool only ranked eleventh.

The odds of Real Madrid, Juventus, Arsenal, Manchester United, Lyon, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich and other teams are all lower than those of Liverpool. This shows that although Liverpool created miracles last season and greatly strengthened its strength this season, European fans are still not optimistic about Liverpool. After all, they are "declined" giants.

After the group draw, the Champions League schedule also came out. The first round of the Champions League group stage will be held on September 13, with Liverpool's opponent being Real Betis.

This night, many media were talking about the Champions League grouping, discussing various teams that may qualify, and discussing possible collisions in the Champions League. Liverpool's group did not stay in Monaco and returned on a plane that night.

They look quite busy.

But in fact, others may be very busy, while Zhang Tiehan is quite free. After participating in the group draw, it was a half-month international match day. Liverpool Club did not have any matches, and Zhang Tiehan did not have any national team matches to play, if he was still very free.

This is also something that Zhang Tiehan is a little worried about.

Klinsmann's German team's new round of roster did not have his name. This was news two days ago. Klinsmann summoned German players to do a week of training and wanted to have a warm-up match with Denmark, but Zhang Tiehan was not on the roster.

Many media were surprised.

Many German media believe that it was the player who did not report to the national team last time Zhang Tiehan went to Klinsman to clarify the rumors, saying, "No, it has nothing to do with that, Zhang and I took leave before that."

"Zhang's ability is certain, but I need to observe more about his game..."

Many people understand this.

Klinsmann believes that Zhang Tiehan has performed very poorly in Liverpool recently, so he has not been recruited into the national team. However, most media still do not argue with this statement. After all, what Zhang Tiehan calls "general" has also scored a lot of goals in the match against CSKA Sophia and CSKA Moscow. Compared with other German strikers, including Klose on the roster, his performance is not as good as Zhang Tiehan.

Perhaps the advantage is that the teams they play for are all in Germany and are only closer to Klinsmann.

In short, Zhang Tiehan still failed to join the national team, but the English media also received news. Their reaction to this news was not an analysis or judgment, but was very happy. After all, Zhang Tiehan has not joined the national team yet, and the national team he can choose is in addition to the German team.

The English media hopes that Zhang Tiehan can join the England team so that they will not have to worry about the front line for ten years - Irving, Rooney, Zhang Tiehan, and other forwards such as Crouch, the England team's forward line is too luxurious.

Zhang Tiehan has also received many interviews from the media, and many English media have asked about his national team.

"I still hope to join the German team. I was born in Munich and grew up in Munich since I was a child. Germany is my hometown..." Zhang Tiehan said.

This is also his thoughts.

If he had a choice, he would choose to join the Chinese team. After all, he was a pure Chinese in his previous life, which is almost impossible for him now, and the Chinese team is too weak to play in the World Cup. If he chooses one of the German team and the English team, he would still choose Germany. After all, joining the German team is the dream of the former owner of the body.

But if you are sure to join Germany, Zhang Tiehan would not think so.

But in all, he must participate in the next World Cup. If the German team does not have him on the World Cup roster, he will definitely choose other national teams. After all, the World Cup is too important to a player. And he does not have much affection for Germany.

It is best to take ideas as the premise, but when ideas cannot be realized, Zhang Tiehan naturally has to make choices that are beneficial to his career.

Of course, that's what happened in the future.

At least Zhang Tiehan is very idle at the moment, but he has not wasted his time. During the club's weekly holiday, he only spent two days visiting Lola in Manchester. The two were together for two days, and then Zhang Tiehan returned to Liverpool and started a new round of training.

He found Benitez and specifically asked for help finding an assistant coach to accompany him to train.

Benitez could only smile bitterly at this request. Even if he hoped that the players would train hard, he felt that it was a bit too much for training like Zhang Tiehan. After all, it might hurt his body. Benitez was still a little worried about Zhang Tiehan's body, but after consulting the team doctor, he gave up his worries.

"Zhang's health is completely fine. Even if he trains for 24 hours in a row, he will be in very good condition as long as he eats a full meal and sleeps. I'm very sure." The team doctor said.

Benitez was relieved.

Then he found the head coach of the Liverpool youth team and asked Zhang Tiehan to participate in the training of the youth team. Since many players in the Liverpool first-team had to take holidays to participate in international competitions, the youth team would not do this, so the youth team still trained normally.

It’s good to have many young players of the same age training together. Although their skills are different from those of first-team teammates, in Zhang Tiehan’s opinion, this is very suitable for him. What he trains is personal skills and some personal consciousness abilities. There is no similar event in first-team training, and he can only make progress slowly in tactical training.

The youth team is different.

There are many training contents for the youth team that specializes in cultivating young players' skills, personal abilities, tactical training, and restorative physical training. Zhang Tiehanneng focuses on training for his own skills without having to participate in training that is useless to him.

This is very good.

So Zhang Tiehan and the youth team trained for a week.

When Liverpool gathered again, they followed and retrained. At this time, many Liverpool players found that Zhang Tiehan had made great progress this week, and they could only be stunned by this progress.

"Zhang, what did you do?"

"Are you really Zhang?"

"Oh my God! The pass just now was so awesome, I thought it was from Xavi..."

"Zhang, when did you learn to run for an open space?"

Many teammates were a little surprised. Zhang Tiehan was really a little surprised. Not only did he make great progress in passing, but he would not have the mistake of overlapping with his teammates in his personal running position. And occasionally he would suddenly insert it and he could run into a good position. Others could easily pass the ball without worrying about anything. It was really hard to see that a month ago, he often made some low-level mistakes and made various useless passes... In short, everyone was surprised.

Zhang Tiehan laughed. Although it was only one week of training, he felt that he could already be a trainer. If he had known that the youth team training was so effective for him, he should have gone early.

And now he is looking forward to the next game.

That was three days later, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Chelsea at home, officially starting the first stop of the two teams' fight.

This is the first battle that Liverpool will experience this season, and it is also the prelude to the four games between Liverpool and Chelsea. Faced with such a battle, and thinking about the shame of Chelsea's "transfers to tease themselves" before, Zhang Tiehan already feels very impatient.

At Anfield Stadium, waiting for Chelsea to arrive and swell the pesky Portuguese cheeks. This is what Zhang Tiehan is most looking forward to doing.
