Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 817 How to evaluate Ibrahimovic?

Soon the two-week national team match day ended, and most of Liverpool's players returned to the training base.

During this period, a major incident also occurred in the England team. The new head coach Allardyce was investigated for suspected bribery, so the Football Association fired him from his position as head coach.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ye Qi. Although he has not joined the Chinese national team, he has no idea of ​​joining the England national team.

Firmino had some strain against Tottenham before, but the problem was not serious at that time, so he returned to the Brazilian national team.

But while playing for Brazil, the injury worsened and he is now recuperating after returning to Liverpool.

This means that he will have no chance to play in the double red meeting against Manchester United three days later.

After the team returned to the training base, the team doctor and physical coach conducted a physical evaluation of all players.

After all, head coach Klopp will consider the squad based on this assessment for the next game against Manchester United.

For example, Firmino, who is recovering from injury, must have been ruled out.

Most of the players who stayed on the team have no major physical problems. Mane is also fine, but he is just a little tired and will be fine after a little rest.

Klopp was most worried about Mane and Matip before. After all, the two of them had a long journey to play in Africa and the physical load was heavy.

In the end, I didn't expect that both Mane and Matip were fine. This was an unexpected surprise.

Among them, Ye Qi is in the best physical condition. In the words of the physical fitness coach, "This kid is as strong as an ox!"

After returning from the national team, Klopp did not train the players, but more recovery training, as well as some drills on set pieces and running tactics.

Soon, the time came to September 10th, Saturday.

Before the game, players from both sides will conduct certain adaptive training and warm-up on the court.

As the BBC's pre-match host, Lineker took the microphone and found Ye Qi who was warming up with his teammates.

Generally, for more important games, the BBC will conduct a simple pre-match interview. Sky Sports, on the other hand, likes to find celebrities from both parties to have some "fun" interactions.

For example, today, as a Sky Sports commentator, Liverpool star Carragher found his "good friend", Manchester United star Gary Neville.

"To be honest, I still haven't forgiven Liverpool for seducing you away, Ye." As soon as he came up, Lineker, holding the microphone, made a little joke, and he said it with a smile the whole time.

Of course Ye Qi also knew that he was joking. Although he had left the Blue Fox now, his friendship with Lineker had not changed.

Because the opponent was also a professional player. For example, Lineker loved Leicester City, but as a professional player he finally left the Blue Fox and played for Everton, Barcelona, ​​Tottenham Hotspur and finally in Nagoya, Japan. Whale Eight retired.

"Gary, as a friend I have to remind you, this is Anfield, be careful not to get out." Ye Qi said into the microphone.

"Hahahaha" laughed Gary Lineker.

"Okay, no more joking. So, let me ask you, is there any pressure against the Red Devils and Manchester United today?" Lineker asked.

Ye Qi thought for a while and said: "It is definitely a lie to say there is no pressure. After all, the opponent is one of the most successful clubs in England and even the world. Now they have very good players and head coaches in the team. There is pressure. , but it’s more about motivation.”

"There's nothing more fulfilling than defeating Manchester United, right?" Ye Qi winked at the camera with a wicked smile.

The Liverpool fans in the stands naturally gave out huge cheers. After all, this is a double red meeting, and in a sense, it is also England's own national derby.

The most important game in La Liga is naturally the El Clasico, and in England, the first is the double red meeting, then the red and blue battle and the London derby!

Liverpool and Manchester United have also been competitors for many years. Liverpool fans naturally want to see the team defeat the Red Devils Manchester United.

"Hahaha, of course. Although I feel bad about Liverpool buying you, I would rather see you score and win." Lineker said.

In fact, there is no saying that foreign commentators must remain neutral. For example, even though Carragher became a commentator for Sky Sports, he has always stood on Liverpool's side when commentating on games.

And Richards, after Manchester City scored, he was happier than the players who scored on the field.

"One last question. Mourinho has a good relationship with you. If you score a goal in this game, will you choose to celebrate?"

"Of course!" Ye Qi spread his hands, "Why not! I have to show him how good I am as his friend!"

Ye Qi's words made Lineker laugh.

"Okay, I want to see it too. And one last question..."

"Hey, Gary, you just said that was the last question." Ye Qi interrupted.

Lineker smiled and said: "Believe me, this is really the last question. What do you think of the veteran Ibrahimovic in Manchester United?"

What do you think? I see with my eyes! Ye Qi complained in his heart.

In fact, as a friend, Lineker did not dig a hole for Ye Qi. Because if it were the host of another interview, he could have asked, "What do you think about Manchester United finally choosing the 35-year-old veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic instead of you?"

Everyone knows that when Mourinho took over from Van Gaal as the Red Devils head coach, almost all the media in England were claiming that the madman wanted to bring Ye Qi to Old Trafford.

After all, the relationship between the two is there, and Manchester United does lack a center, especially a center who can score goals.

Ye Qi is the hottest center this summer, bar none! After all, the Premier League record of 45 goals is there, and he led Leicester City to complete a miracle championship.

This kind of achievement is more popular than Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez and Neymar this summer.

So everyone thinks this is a natural thing.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qi first went to Liverpool, and then Manchester United introduced veteran Ibrahimovic for free.

To the outside world, there must be something fishy about it. Although Manchester United's form has been declining since Ferguson retired, at least there is a European war to play in this season, and Manchester United must be given priority over Liverpool in terms of selection.

As for veteran Ibrahimovic, the outside world believes that he is just a substitute after the Red Devils and Manchester United cannot compete for Ye Qi.

So when Lineker asked this question, he actually wanted to hear how the most popular center that summer evaluated his competitor, the veteran Ibrahimovic, and he didn't mean to deliberately dig a hole.

Ye Qi has respect for Ibrahimovic because he is indeed very good. Whether it was his unique character or the fact that the opponent often scored tricky goals, in Ye Qi's view, Ibrahimovic was the third player after the two unrivaled players of that era.

Of course, Ibrahimovic himself may not think much about it. What he probably thinks is that Melo is great, but he is God!
