Chapter 411: The best strike combination in Liverpool's history?
"Steven,"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Isn't the team messy enough?"
Benitez stared at Gerald, disgruntled.
"You're the captain of the team."
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't say much, but you've disappointed me this time. There's no problem with a dinner party, but you're so disappointed that you're doing this. ”
"Chief,"
"Just a party, no problems."
"It's not as bad as the media thinks."
Gerard spread his hands, "I just want to bring everyone more together. ”
"Those female companions were not invited by me."
"Who's that?"
"Jamie,"
"Jamie's wife's friend, I thought it was just one or two, I didn't know there would be so many."
"Jamie's wife? God, damn it. ”
"It's all the women's fault,"
"Don't have such parties in the future."
"Don't lose the ambition of the champion!"
'If a team is watched every day, then you can't fully focus on the game and as a captain you should understand how to take these team-mates well.
'It's been another year and I remember when I first arrived at Liverpool, you were young. Now, it's almost 30. ”
"And our league title ......"
……
Gerrard's old face was flushed, and when he mentioned the league title, he was in no mood at all.
"We can't shake the belief in competing for the title at the beginning of the season."
"You have to take the lead."
'We should fight for every win, we're just three points off the top.'
"We're going to fight for the three-point gap!"
After beating Gerrard, he called Torres into his office again.
※※※※
"Fernando,"
"I may make some adjustments to my tactics,"
Benitez still found his henchman, Fernando Torres. He's going to do Torres' job.
Torres was already impressive at Atletico, but after being brought to Liverpool by Rafael Benitez, he has been even better, topping the Ballon d'Or in both years.
He is full of gratitude for Benitez, who wanted to move to Chelsea this summer, but was persuaded by Benitez to stay and complete a contract extension with Liverpool.
But a player like him has a stronger desire for honor than the average player, and money is not the reason for him to stay. Liverpool finished second in the league last season, and this season I thought I could challenge for the title, but I didn't expect so many difficulties at the beginning of the season.
He also wants the team to be stronger.
So, he listened very carefully.
"Chief,"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Probably, you'll have to make a little sacrifice." Benitez spoke anyway.
"It might be a little unfair to you."
“?” Torres looked at Benitez and his eyelids jumped, it looked like something bad was about to happen, and it wasn't quite what he thought.
"You're going to play the role of a fulcrum."
"Stone surrounds you."
Anyway, I've said it, so let's just say it.
!
Torres's heart sank, and his face immediately darkened.
"Isn't that Kuyt's previous role?"
"Then I'll score a lot less."
"I,"
"I can't do it."
"And it's not adaptable."
He decisively refused, although he had a good temper and a good person, but this request was really too pitiful.
"I'm not a striker like that."
……
Benitez was silent for more than a dozen seconds.
"But we need to win the championship."
"Don't you want a champion?"
"Yes, but not like that." Torres shook his head.
"I don't think I'm going to win a championship either."
"We're missing Xavi Alonso, you shouldn't let him go."
Torres can also see the doorway, and he believes that Alonso's departure from Real Madrid is the main reason why Liverpool did not play at last season's level in the end.
"Yes, but he's gone, we can only make changes, and if we can't make changes, then we'll be stuck where we are, and this season may be empty again." Benitez was helpless.
'You miss a certain number of chances, but it's relative, Stone is a very good player, you can complement each other and it's a win-win when the number of goals drops a lot.
"Oh, maybe?"
Torres doesn't believe that he himself has become a stake, how many goals can he score? He didn't believe Benitez's nonsense.
"Boss, if you have to play like that, then I'll look for a transfer in the winter."
The threat of Chi Guoguo is coming.
Torres immediately threatened a transfer.
!
Benitez's face sank, and he immediately understood that there was no way to talk about it. Torres' attitude is too resolute and he would rather transfer than change.
In fact, he was mentally prepared for this.
"Well, let's take a look."
The conversation between the two broke up unhappily.
※※※※
Benitez then summoned Suarez again.
"Luis,"
"I've got a new attacking system and you're going to be the heart of the attack."
This time, Benitez changed the way he talked.
"You're the fulcrum of the offense."
"Stone will revolve around you."
"You'll be going around the stone, too."
"You are the bridgehead of the attack."
"Boss, I can do it." Suarez's reaction was different from Torres's, "I can make the ball for Stone. ”
"But only if the team-mates behind me trust me and put the ball at my feet. You know, they don't like to pass the ball to me. ”
Suarez also spoke very directly, meaning that I could, but I don't have the ball. Give me the ball!
"Yes,"
"I'll change my play."
It seems that Suarez has no problem, if Torres is unwilling, then take him down and let Suarez play? Benitez gritted his teeth in his heart, ready to be ruthless.
Torres is good, but if Torres is not willing to change, then the only way to put Suarez in the position is to put Suarez in the position, he has no doubts about Suarez's ability, and he may have more talent than Torres.
"Luis,"
"You're on the pitch, you have to see the stone,"
"Once he's out of position, you have to pass the ball to him as soon as possible."
"Of course, Stone will also pass the ball to you at the first time,"
'There's a great friendship between you and it's going to make you the best striker in Liverpool's history, maybe.
Liverpool's best strike combination in all time?
Suarez pondered this sentence, as if he was quite energetic.
I, stone, hey, hey.
He was tempted.
"Don't worry, boss, we can do it."
"We can be the best two people."
