The Ball at Your Feet

Regarding Liverpool's defeat, Zhao Yaning just hung up the phone to his former teammates and gave him some comfort. He didn't say anything to the media. It’s just a European Super Cup. It’s not a big award. This award is not enough to make people realize what Americans are. There is no need to fight with Americans for such a small award. After all, their own serious business. I'm too busy, where can I take care of this?

At this time, it is more important to think about the UEFA Champions League group groupings and their integration into the team.

But fortunately, this time, in the group stage, there is no need to worry about getting into too much trouble. Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all first-tier teams this season. If you want to hype up grudges, you won't be able to draw opponents. And Milan is also the same first-tier team, a few of their enemies, they don't have to worry about encountering them.

And if they can't be drawn-then, Zhao Yaning feels that other teams have nothing to worry about. Bayern and Juventus did not even play in the Champions League this year. The Premier League are all in the first gear, and the stronger Milan duo in Serie A are also in the first gear. The strongest team you can encounter is at most the one that dominates Ligue 1 now. Lyon, but Lyon’s strength, in Zhao Yaning’s view, the threat is not too big.

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 that of ordinary teams.

But even so, when he actually arrived in Monaco, things went beyond his expectations.

Of course it is not about awards-there is nothing special about this year's awards. The best goalkeeper was given to Cech. Although he played few games, most people believed that Cech could recover quickly after a serious injury and lead Chelsea to the semi-finals, which is worthy of this award. Even the other goalkeepers consciously expressed their excitement: This is a great encouragement for Cech, who has returned from injury.

The best defender is Maldini-after the Champions League defeat, Maldini once reported that he was going to retire, but under the persuasion of the club, Maldini said that because there is really no one in the club, he is willing to play for another year- —A 37-year-old veteran who played really well. It's hard to say who the top guard is better, but even if he doesn't talk about his ability, he won this award based on his qualifications, and no one has any opinion.

And the best striker is Kaka's-although he played as a midfielder in name, but sometimes, Milan did put him on the front line-because Berlusconi likes to play with two forwards, Anchor Lottie sometimes fooled him-although his style of play is not a regular forward, but at this time, people still let him get the best forward. He accepted this award happily. After all, he also knew that if he was in the midfield position, then he would have to compete with Zhao Yaning.

The best player and best midfielder, naturally, belong to Zhao Yaning-although he has already transferred, everyone has to admit that he is Liverpool's best performer. Even if Liverpool strongly advocated that the winner should be Gerrard, when Gerrard himself was interviewed, he said that Zhao Yaning deserved the prize. What else is there to say about this attitude?

"I am grateful for everything Liverpool has given me. I am grateful to my teammates and to the coaches. At the same time, I am grateful to Mr. Morse and the fans. They are all people I am extremely grateful for. I am very happy to be here. Liverpool won this award, and I also hope that Liverpool can play better."

Zhao Yaning’s words, played a round, even without mentioning the Americans, but also let the media catch the topic, but these are not things that Zhao Yaning cares about. In comparison, what really surprised him was the Champions League grouping.

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

Such a grouping made Zhao Yaning extremely surprised: unexpectedly, could he have good luck to meet such a weak group?

Zhao Yaning has played in the Champions League for several years. In my impression, this should be the best team he has ever encountered.

In the group, there is not even a strong enough team. Although Werder Bremen and Lazio are also teams in the top five leagues, Werder Bremen just sold the absolute core of the team Klose in the summer. And Lazio's entry into the Champions League is not unrelated to Fiorentina's deductions. Their strength can be said to be not very good. Such a group gives Zhao Yaning an idea: Is this cheating? Where is such a good team that does not cheat?

He is not the only one who thinks this way, everyone said the same after returning to the team.

"Such a UEFA Champions League grouping, we can still occupy a huge advantage. We can focus more on fighting a battle line, which can help us greatly save energy, and this approach can also help us in fasting and the African Cup. Before you arrive, accumulate enough points." Schuster was very happy with the result of the draw, "We can play better."

"How come it is a single-line battle, isn't there a cup match?" Zhao Yaning asked, "Don't we have to play in the Copa del Rey?

Zhao Yaning remembered that the task of the Copa del Rey match was not easy. Although there is only one cup match, because the Spanish Copa del Rey’s competition system is determined by the home and away matches, each round is two matches. Therefore, in Zhao Yaning’s view, there are also many matches, and the task is still very heavy. .

But his view was immediately overturned.

"The Copa del Rey match is just handed over to the children of the second team to play. What can be serious about such a match?"

Zhao Yaning asked for a while and learned about the situation in La Liga. Because of the low prize money and low gold content in the Copa del Rey, most teams don't like this award. Therefore, many times the team sends the second team to play the game. And such an approach naturally caused no one to watch the game, and the more no one watched, the less one played well. Under the vicious circle of this prolonged period, the Copa del Rey game became a tasteless one.

And to what extent are the chicken ribs?

"Atletico Madrid has a game against a low-level team. Because the game has not started, it is already clear. Therefore, few fans are willing to pay for the game. When it comes to the official game, Madrid There were only 11 competitive fans-the broadcasters on the scene all made jokes. "I don't recognize the players. They are all from the second team, but the fans are all **** fans. I know them all. Let's introduce the fans directly. With fewer people, you can save trouble'..."

"Such a situation, regardless of the league?" Zhao Yaning felt rather unimaginable. Who are these people?

"I can't control it. It's not because I don't want to play hard, but it's a matter of money. It's hard to manage if the factor is money."

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

"Then, let us play this half of the season well. Half of the season is over, and during the winter break, we have to have a good enough score." Shuster said, "Joy, you think we Half a season has passed, how many points are more appropriate?"

"In half a season... the goal of fifty points is almost the same, right?"

This sentence made the teammates present extremely surprised, "Half a season, fifty points in 18 games? How is it possible! La Liga’s half-season record is 46 points! 19 games in half a season, A total of 57 points. If it is 50 points, doesn't it mean that in half the season, at most two games will be lost? How is this possible?"

"I don't know the specific situation of La Liga. Anyway, I am in the Premier League. If there is no 50 points in the half, then in the second half, I will be tired and half dead. This requirement is not high. I am in the Premier League. Has it reached ninety points in both seasons?"

"Your substitute is much thicker than La Liga! La Liga, with more than 70 points, is already a championship group."

What Zhao Yaning thought of: The Premier League’s average salary is high, the lineup is thick, and there are many rotations. Therefore, the team has a lot of victories. At the beginning of the Premier League, as long as the two championship points are less than 80. However, La Liga has a large salary grade difference, a poor substitute level, and the thickness of the lineup is naturally not very good. Without the thickness, there is no way to rotate, and the score is naturally much lower. In La Liga, generally speaking, 70 points or more is a championship-level team, and 80 points or more is a dominant team.

"But, that was before." Zhao Yaning said, "Since I'm here, I'll change the rules. Liverpool's bench is not too thick. I play games for a year, and often I have to have a fifty. Field-more than 70 points? It's too low. Fifty points in half of the season and tight schedule in the second half of the season. Even if the total is 90 points, we should be able to achieve this score, right?"

Zhao Yaning doesn't think that this is a very high score-after two seasons in Liverpool, he thinks that if he wants to win the championship, it is best to be safe. More than 70 points, like last season, won the championship based on win-loss relationship. In his opinion, it is very unsafe. To get more points and win the championship safely is what he wants.

As for physical strength, it has never been a concern for him. If the team plays a single line and cannot guarantee enough physical strength, then such a team is meaningless. Real Madrid's atmosphere is not very good, Zhao Yaning also wants to rely on himself to raise the required standards, so that they can start to truly enter the game state.

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

He wants to change this team a little bit, not only the personnel, but the most important thing is confidence. And what is more exciting than a championship with terrible points?

"Ninety points, it sounds crazy enough." Guti murmured to himself, "but, I am quite excited about what I said. Let's try it. This season, see if we can Get ninety points!"

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

After the UEFA Champions League draw, I returned to La Liga. The next game, the opponent against Villarreal, is away.

The team coached by Chilean engineer Pellegrini has also entered reforms this season. They put Riquelme on hold, and now their frontcourt is Milan's veteran Thomasson and Italian teenager Giuseppe Rossi. Above the midfield ~www.ltnovel.com~ is Cazorla, Pires, Senna and other players, although Riquelme is missing, but on the books, it is still a strong team. It's just that the running-in this season does not seem to be very good, and they have not been able to play very good results. Although many people are optimistic about their entry into the Champions League, but this game, people are more optimistic about Real Madrid.

And against them, it is also for the Spanish media to continue to pay attention to the question they are looking forward to: when is Zhao Yaning's first goal ready to arrive?

"I don't know, it's time to come." Zhao Yaning was very calm about this. "There is no need to struggle with the problem of scoring. Anyway, even if it doesn't score, the team will win."

Such a statement is obviously too unsuccessful, which has also led many media to speculate, "Maybe Zhao Yaning's goal will come later. He doesn't even dare to give an exact time."

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

"In the first five minutes, Zhao Yaning scored! In this game, Zhao Yaning was in a very good state!"
