Liverpool teammates still sympathize with Zhang Tiehan. After all, Zhang Tiehan was blown away and scored. Although Gerald was also blown up, Gerald scored another goal in the end, he was also the best player in the game. Zhang Tiehan worked hard all the game and nothing...

They didn't notice it. Before they knew it, they were all used to Zhang Tiehan's goals.

Although Zhang Tiehan actually didn't perform much in the game after coming to Liverpool, they are used to scoring goals as long as Zhang Tiehan appears.

This time Zhang Tiehan lost his goal, and Liverpool players found it very awkward.

Zhang Tiehan was in a bad mood, but they felt it was normal and they could understand it completely.

Despite this, Zhang Tiehan still felt very depressed, but Liverpool's schedule did not have time to let him digest his depressed mood. After returning to Liverpool, the team ushered in a new event - the English League Cup after only a short training day.

The English League Cup started in August.

Liverpool ranked fifth in the Premier League last season. According to the rules of the League Cup, the top ten Premier League teams can start from the third lap of the League Cup, so this is Liverpool's first League Cup game. They are not very lucky and have drawn a rival with not being weak - Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace was still a member of the Premier League last season, but ranked third from the bottom of the league at the end of the season, and they were unfortunately relegated to the English Champions League.

Due to the relegation, Crystal Palace sold several main players in the summer, and the team's strength declined.

Despite this, their overall strength is still at the top of the English Championship. Their English Championship is very competitive and their overall strength is not as weak as ordinary Premier League teams. If you encounter such an opponent in the third lap of the League Cup, it is not a good sign, just like Manchester United in the same round. The Jazz draws an English second-tier team, which is the real good sign.

But Liverpool still has to face their opponents.

However, if you want to advance to the next round, it will definitely be dangerous to use the substitute lineup to play, so after considering it before the game, Benitez decided to replace most of the main players.

After all, after playing this game, it will be an international match day. The team will be suspended for one week.

Benitez will not consider the team's stars in the national team's state, especially excellent players such as Gerald, who are in no state at all. Eriksen's team is placed on the bench so that the players' state can be better guaranteed.

......

The two teams had no grudges.

In history, Crystal Palace spent most of her childhood in the low-level league, while Liverpool has been in the top league. The two teams are completely teams in the two levels, and Liverpool has a brilliant history. Crystal Palace has only a history of struggle, and the two teams have not many historical confrontations.

But last season, the last match between the two teams made Crystal Palace angry at Liverpool.

That was just a regular league game played by Anfield.

For Liverpool, if they win that game, their league points will not exceed Everton in the city, but for Crystal Palace, if they win that game, they will be able to relegate successfully. They originally hoped that Liverpool could 'leave the water', but in the end they lost the game 2:1.

It can be said that Liverpool kicked Crystal Palace into the English Championship with one kick.

Of course this is just the idea of ​​extremists.

It is normal for Crystal Palace to be relegated. They were just a promoted team last year and were not adapted to the top league and did not play well all season. This is the reason for their relegation, not one or two games. But among the current players of Crystal Palace, those who were also at Crystal Palace last season, are very resentful of Liverpool.

They all came from the second division with Crystal Palace.

They had hoped to perform well in the top league, but in one season they returned to the second league, which was simply deadly for them.

Especially many of them are unknown.

Those players with fame and excellent performance naturally don’t worry about the team being relegated because they can find better players, while those players with no fame and average performance can only stay in the team and continue to fight in the second division.

They lost almost the performance on the top league stage.

This is simply fatal to a professional player.

As players who have slowly climbed up from the low-level league, they always dream of having a bigger stage, having more people to pay attention to, being able to fight stronger opponents, and improving their fame and strength. However, this wish cannot be realized because of the failure of the game against Liverpool.

At least this season will not be achieved.

They can only 'struggle' in Division II for one season, and that's what they are doing now.

For the entire Crystal Palace Club, the relegation losses are even heavier. Many outstanding players have left the team. Economically, relegation has brought at least 30 million euros to the Crystal Palace Club. This huge loss has caused Crystal Palace to fall from a "quasi-Premier League powerhouse" to a "strong Championship team".

It is conceivable what attitude Crystal Palace will have towards Liverpool.

......

Crystal Palace is resentful to Liverpool, and it doesn't matter to Liverpool. Many of them have forgotten the ordinary league game last season, which is meaningless to them.

They never thought Crystal Palace would hate Liverpool.

When it comes to playing against Everton, Manchester United, or even Manchester City, Liverpool can think of these teams that hate their players, Crystal Palace? Even newcomers to England have never heard of the name of this team. After all, they spend most of their time in the second division.

It's really hard to have any intersection between the two teams.

One side is very hostile to the opponent, while the other side is unaware of it. Such a game is a bit unexpected and becomes normal.

......

"Danny-butterfield!" The referee's whistle sounded, and it was Butterfield again, and it was his foul again.

Butterfield, who had just committed a foul, stretched out his hands to act innocently, as if he had suffered a huge grievance, while Gerald stood up from the grass with a heavy breath, his face a little fierce.

Gerald hopes the referee gives Butterfield a yellow card.

Of course, it would be even better if it was a red card.

But obviously this was just an ordinary foul to the referee, so the referee verbally warned Butterfield. Gerald seemed helpless, and Zhang Tiehan ran to comfort him, while looking at Butterfield away fiercely.

Butterfield seemed to feel Zhang Tiehan's gaze and turned his head to look at him innocently.

That expression...is really innocent.

In ten minutes, Butterfield had three fouls, but he always "impressed" the referee with an innocent expression. That expression looked really real, as if he was the party who was "fouled". So he made three fouls and the referee did not give him a yellow card.

"This guy is really good at performing!" Gerald made a vomiting move.

Zhang Tiehan nodded.

Soon with Zhang Tiehan's impact on Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace strengthened his defense, and Butterfield also ran over to defend Zhang Tiehan. It was not until this time that Zhang Tiehan knew why Gerald said that this guy's defense was disgusting.

"Damn!!!"

Zhang Tiehan touched his butt and ran to the side for two steps, avoiding Butterfield from afar. Just as he was about to rush forward, Butterfield actually pressed on him and stroked his butt hard.

Zhang Tiehan was so disgusting that he almost kicked the back.

He was about to scold Butterfield, but the referee ran over to ask about the situation. Zhang Tiehan hurriedly wanted to speak, but could only point at Butterfield awkwardly, "He...he...he touched my butt!"

Butterfield waved his hand innocently.

The referee looked at Zhang Tiehan, and his eyes made Zhang Tiehan very angry. But he really didn't know what to say and didn't know what to do. Butterfield was definitely intentional just now, and he used this disgusting way to defend.

After the farce, Zhang Tiehan decided not to be affected no matter what Butterfield did.

Is that true!

Isn’t it just touching your butt? I am a man, and I’m afraid you will touch it? In order to score a goal, I will let you touch it a few times. What’s the matter!

Within a few minutes, when Zhang Tiehan got up and competed for the ball, he lay on the ground again.

"I'm...**...bastard..."

Zhang Tiehan covered his crotch with one hand, and all kinds of dirty words couldn't help blurting out. He was not afraid of the referee coming over. He was already furious.

"Zhang and Butterfield had an air confrontation. The two seemed to have no fierce physical collision, but Zhang looked very painful and angry..." The live TV camera pointed directly at Zhang Tiehan, and he was full of pain and looked at Butterfield fiercely.

Butterfield ignored Zhang Tiehan at all. He took the opportunity to grab the ball and kicked the ball towards Liverpool's halftime, but the referee also blew the whistle.

"Butterfield, foul!"

Butterfield didn't argue anything, just shrugged innocently, as if he was the victim.

Zhang Tiehan became even more angry when he saw his expression. His eyes flashed with ferociousness when he looked at Butterfield, as if he was about to hurt someone in the next moment. The referee hurriedly stopped the two of them.

But in fact, it is difficult for Zhang Tiehan to do whatever he wants.

He covered his crotch with one of his right hands, grinning, and his expression didn't seem to be pretending. He was in great pain and he had to jump on his legs when he took two steps first.

At first, the referee thought that Zhang Tiehan was pretending. After all, this was a common trick by the players on the court - using pain to gain sympathy, but his penalty was over, and Zhang Tiehan still maintained that movement and expression, and he also felt something was wrong.

When he saw that Zhang Tiehan was not pretending, he waved his hand to let the team doctor play.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan felt a little better. He struggled to take two steps. He did not rush towards Butterfield, who used despicable means to him, but jumped on the spot a few times, and then he curled up with his teeth and mouth, as if he was suffering tremendous pain.

Just when everyone was not sure what was wrong with Zhang Tiehan, the TV live broadcast had already started to play back the slow motion just now.

The football flew over.

Zhang Tiehan rushed forward and was about to stop the ball with his chest. He grabbed the spot immediately and jumped on the spot and removed the ball with his chest. A series of movements were as accurate and skillful as textbooks. It can be seen that Zhang Tiehan is very skilled in stopping the ball with altitude.

But just as Zhang Tiehan took off the ball and was about to pull back and throw away Butterfield behind him, the two had some close physical conflicts, and then Zhang Tiehan fell directly to the ground.

"What exactly happened...???"

I can't see clearly, change the angle.

Soon, it was played at a different angle on TV. This time, when Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball and suddenly turned around. His movements were very skillful. Butterfield did not react at all. As a result, his body collided with Zhang Tiehan. At this moment, Butterfield stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at Zhang Tiehan's... crotch!?

Crotch!?

Through the replay of the lens at this angle, everyone saw Butterfield's movements and knew exactly what he had done. At that moment, the hand seemed to be very tight.

All the male fans who saw this shot tightened their legs almost at the same time and took a breath of cold air - the egg hurts so much! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
