Chapter 400: Differential Treatment
Is Benitez going to play on the spot?
"This is my choice for career planning after thinking about it carefully."
Wu Sanshi replied very officially.
"Yes, the choice of career planning, then since we have chosen Liverpool, we should treat it with a professional attitude."
"Then why are you getting drunk in a bar?"
"Boss, that's because of my problem, I forcibly dragged him to drink." As soon as the words fell, Suarez stood up, he didn't want Wu Sanshi to carry this pot.
"But I don't think it's a mistake to drink on your day off."
Crash
There was an uproar.
Unexpectedly, Suarez dared to openly oppose Benitez's views in front of everyone.
There's nothing wrong with drinking on your day off, that's Benitez wrong.
Benitez's face changed instantly, and the fat on his face trembled and trembled.
Suarez! I bought you to Liverpool, if I hadn't taken a fancy to you and bought you to Liverpool, you would still be a little minion who can only play in the Eredivisie! Benitez's heart was tumbling violently, and he really didn't expect Suarez to be so rebellious and dare to question him in front of everyone. He was restrained and didn't want to jump straight into a thunderous outburst.
"You didn't understand what I meant, I mean drunk. I'm not against drinking, and I don't support getting drunk, especially with so much of an event in ours. If you think that's okay, then we're going to invite everyone to the bar this weekend and drink until dawn! ”
Benitez is also showing his tough attitude. There's no way the manager can give in to his players, and he's not the toughest at the moment.
Not far away, bald Paco Jesterdam shook his head. Think Suarez is unwise to confront Benitez like this, isn't this looking for death? Drinking has a bad effect, just bow your head and admit your mistake, and please Benitez, and now you are bumping into Benitez, and you will have a fun time in the future.
Wu Sanshi secretly pulled Suarez's jersey from behind, reminding him not to do it, and it would be absolutely no good to work against the coach. He knew that Suarez had such a violent temper and couldn't stop it.
"Then I'll be very grateful." Suarez finally didn't suppress his temper and still met Benitez's sharp gaze.
"Very good, if you score." Benitez said word by word.
This......
Suarez's teammates behind him are muttering, if Suarez is only given a few minutes, then he can still score a goal? Benitez is old bad and old bad.
"Raphael,"
"It's not too early, it's time to start training."
The bald head walked over and tried to break the awkward atmosphere. Benitez looked up at his watch, nodded as well, and went down the steps.
On a beautiful morning, Melwood was a little nervous at the training ground, and it felt something was wrong in training. Suarez was very fierce, a few frontcourt counter-robberies, a little anxious, and a little big foul on his teammates. The confrontation with Benitez affected his mentality.
"He's still too young,"
"Such a character will hurt him."
Paco shook his head beside Benitez.
"Yes, but he's really something that can be made, and he needs to continue to train. The arrogance is too arrogant, and it is necessary to trap him in a cage for a while. ”
"The weekend's roster?"
"Well, there won't be him in the squad, let him jump first."
"What about stone?"
'Of course you have to go in, and you have to put it in the starting line-up, which will give Suarez enough stimulation.'
"Isn't that too much?" Paco thinks that Benitez is really black, what if Suarez is ruined? The money invested by the boss has also been wasted.
'It's a bit too much, but if he's good enough, he'll prove himself with goals.'
"What did you just say...... If you don't plan to give him playing time. ”
"I'm the boss."
……
The weekend against Aston Villa, still at home, and the 5-0 thrashing of Stoke City the day before yesterday convinced Benitez that even without Suarez, it would not affect the overall situation.
No matter how hard the Hammers are, it won't be a big problem to win them at home, right?
Benitez was also in a good mood to attend the noon press conference of the new signings. Liverpool have officially announced the signing of AEK defender Kirgiakos in Athens. Kirgiakos signed a two-year contract with the Reds and a one-year option of first refusal. In order to acquire the Greek defender, Liverpool paid a transfer fee of £3 million to AEK Athens.
Liverpool's transfer budget is running out and they can only buy millions of pounds of players.
However, Benitez was happy and explained the reason for signing Kirgiakos: "He's a tough defender, he's dominant in the air, he's got a lot of character, and that's what we need. ”
At the same time, the boss also pointed out the contribution of the Greek defenders to the team in attack, saying: "He can score goals and will be dangerous in corners and free-kicks. He is strong defensively but needs time to adapt to the Premier League. It's a great signing for us. ”
'We noticed him when he was still at Rangers and we watched a lot of footage of him playing in Eintracht Frankfurt and with the national team. Our scouts have a lot of information. Benitez said proudly, "We talked about his previous experience and what the team needs from him. He knows what the team wants and he's already working on it. ”
Ager will be out for six weeks with a back injury and the Danish defender has missed the first two rounds of the league. It remains to be seen whether another big defender, Skrtel, will be available for Aston Villa. In Benitez's mind, the addition of Kirgiakos is not only an addition to the current squad, but also very beneficial for the development of young players like Martin Kelly and Daniel Ayala. "It's very beneficial," he said. I've talked to Ayala about that. Young people can learn a lot from experienced players. This means they have plenty of time to grow and they can play as many games as they can instead of under pressure. ”
I don't know if he's comforting himself, anyway, I really can't see the effect of 3 million pounds. The 30-year-old Greek international, who is only worth 3 million pounds and has been terminated by Glasgow Rangers, can be plug-and-play like a USB flash drive and meet the requirements of the Premier League giants, it is still unknown.
In fact, Benitez doesn't want a defender who can handle it, but Liverpool's American boss refuses to provide transfer funds, whether it is Martin Upson of West Ham United, Turner of Hull City, Shawcross of Stoke City or Amoray Betta of Bilbao, they are all too expensive to have a relationship with Anfield.
"Rafael, I heard that Suarez openly questioned you on the training ground in the morning?" The Daily Mail didn't know where it got the news and directly changed the subject.
Benitez was visibly stunned.
"No, we're just discussing, we don't have the same opinions."
"And what do you think about Suarez and Stone drinking?"
'They're definitely not doing it right, but they're not familiar with how to play in the Premier League, it's their first time and I don't think there's any need for the media to hype it up. Especially since Stone is still just a child, how much better can you ask a child under 18 to do? He's already scored three goals and of course I'm looking forward to his fourth goal at the weekend. ”
Speaking of which, Benitez simply released a message, "He started the weekend. ”
This was told to the news media two days in advance.
"His partner is Torres."
This is tantamount to a direct announcement of Suarez's death sentence......
※※※※
“bi-cth!”
Suarez saw the press conference while resting at home and instantly felt that Benitez was playing target.
"This old bastard."
"Don't even dare to give me time."
"You'll regret it!"
Suarez hated it. However, despite his upset, he continued to train with the team in the afternoon and the next day. What made him even more depressed was that when the squad for the game was announced on Sunday morning, he didn't even make the squad.
Everyone knows what's going on, he's just offended Benitez, so he won't have good fruit to eat. Because of this, it seems that even his teammates are alienated from him, but fortunately Wu Sanshi does not.
"Luis,"
"I want to open it."
Wu Sanshi comforted, "I know you're doing it for my good, but you don't have to carry it alone." ”
"Seriously, I also think there's nothing wrong with drinking on your day off, if it's wrong, I'm also at fault, and I should be punished, although I was dragged by you, I can completely refuse, but we don't, so I'm also responsible."
"Don't be stupid. It's enough for one person to be punished, and besides, if I don't pull you, you'll be fine. Of course, I don't think we've done anything wrong. Suarez lifted his arrogant face, still stubborn.
"Kick well in the afternoon, don't embarrass us." Suarez patted him on the shoulder.
……
Liverpool fans don't seem to have any opinion of Suarez, after all, he is not as good as Wu Sanshi now, he is almost a passerby now, a substitute, there is no difference between him and him, as long as Torres and Wu Sanshi are safe and sound. What's more, their two starting partners played today, and they are full of expectations.
can't get into the squad, Suarez simply didn't even go to Anfield, it's not comfortable to go there, what will the fans think, he is bored at home watching TV alone, and his wife and daughter next to him can't make him laugh, it can be seen that he actually cares a lot!
And his wife was also blowing the wind next to him, trying to comfort Suarez.
"Benitez treats you and Stone with completely different attitudes, he's too partial."
"You've been treated unfairly."
Suarez frowned slightly, he didn't like such rhetoric.
"Honey, you can't understand that. This has nothing to do with stone. ”
"Benitez did it on purpose, he just wanted to provoke me, and I won't let him get away with it."
"Okay, I don't want to talk about it, take a good look at the game."
……
※※※※
Comfort Field Stadium ushered in the second home stadium of the season, Liverpool fans were enthusiastic, chanting the names of Torres and Wu Sanshi before the opening, and now the two of them are the darlings of Anfield, especially Wu Sanshi, who has made Liverpool fans like it in two games. If he continues to keep the scoring momentum going, maybe he will overtake Torres.
A bottle of red wine appeared right in front of Lineker at the table in the BBC live broadcast room. It may have been Lineker and McNamara's bet on wine in the middle of the week that led to the wine sponsors' intention to advertise here.
Lineker wasted no time in provoking McNamara, "Mike, are you still betting with me today?" ”
McNamara was silent and did not respond, but instead explained the game, and it seemed that he did not dare to bet on Lineker.
"The Uruguayan was dropped out of the squad by Rafael Benitez because of the midweek drinking incident, and Stone was unexpectedly in the starting line-up."
"But I'm not optimistic about this combination, I feel like the two of them won't be able to spark."
"Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 16 meetings between the two sides, with 10 wins and 6 draws, and 5 wins and 2 draws in the last 7 home games. The two sides have met 34 times in the Premier League, with Liverpool having the upper hand with 18 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses, including 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at home. This is the 177th meeting between the two sides, after Liverpool had the upper hand with 86 wins, 38 draws and 52 defeats. Skrtel returned to the starting XI in place of Ayala after recovering from a jaw injury. New Greek defender Kyriakos was not included in the squad and Kuyt made his 150th appearance for the Reds. Villa defender Curtis Davies started after recovering from a shoulder injury. ”
Subsequently, the BBC gave the starting line-ups for both sides.
Liverpool: 442
Goalkeeper: Reina
Defenders: Glen Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Insua
Defenders: Kuyt, Mascherano, Lucas, Gerrard
Forwards: Wu Sanshi, Torres
Aston Villa: 451
Goalkeeper: Friedel
Defenders: Beyer, Cuelial, Davies, Shoray
Defenders: James Milner, Sidwell, Petrov, Leo Coke, Ashley Young
Forward: Abang Laho
'Spinach have set Liverpool odds to concede one and a half goals, but I think Villa are in good form and Liverpool may not be able to win at home.
"Hehe......" Lineker played with the red wine in his hand, as if he was about to taunt McNamara again.
"Gary, Vera is really not in bad shape."
'I think so too, but I think Stone is in good shape and he will probably continue to score goals. What do you think? ”
“……”
Torres is still very cold, Wu Sanshi has been in Liverpool for almost a month, Torres and him have not spoken three words, Torres comes to the training ground every day to train, and then leaves after training, almost never communicate with other teammates. Although they have partnered a few times on the front line, there is no communication between the two of them.
Until now, he still doesn't know what kind of player Torres is, and vaguely remembers that when Aguero bombarded him at the beginning of the year, Torres also stood up and said good things about Aguero, and that's it......
But this does not affect the appearance of the two partners, who are also colleagues.
Beep
Wu Sanshi knocked the ball to Torres......
