Chapter 220: Mixed Reviews
() There is no one more excited about Tang Wu's transfer than Liverpool fans.
Who Tang Wu is, Liverpool fans are all too familiar.
Just over a year ago, few people in the Premier League knew Tang Wu; After the rainy battle at Stamford Bridge, more than 90% of the people who knew Tang Wu were Liverpool fans.
"What? To come to Liverpool? Fack, I don't agree with that! A middle-aged man with a beard said angrily, "Have you forgotten what he did to Liverpool?" If it weren't for him, Liverpool might have won the Champions League, and Michael wouldn't have left us! ”
"Is the Chelsea devil with only six fingers?" In the face of the interview, an old woman said slowly, "He's a demon!" His arrival will only bring bad luck to Liverpool! ”
"No, no, no! I will never allow Liverpool to guard the gate! A white-collar Sven with glasses shook his head and said, "Liverpool is not comparable to the Chelsea nouveau riche. Although he performed well for Chelsea last season, that doesn't mean he can be on goal at Liverpool. Even if he moves to Liverpool, I won't agree to him coming to goal. Belch... Two years, he must at least stay in the position of the second gate for two years, otherwise I don't believe that he can do his best for the Red Army! ”
The streets of Liverpool are full of fans who speak into the microphone to express their opinions.
There are those who oppose Tang Wu, and there are many supporters.
"I think it's good! He's the most special goalkeeper in the Premier League, oh no! A young big-breasted female fan took off her sunglasses and made no secret of her love for Tang Wu, "He is so handsome and has such good goalkeeping ability, why not let him help Liverpool win the championship?" ”
"To's goalkeeping skills are much better than Dudek!" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old newsboy praised, "From the performance of the two last season, it can be seen that the TO ability is 10,000 times better than Dudek!" I have long suggested that Liverpool should change the goalkeeper and I think TO is the first choice! ”
"TO has proven himself in one season, don't look at his youth, I believe in his strength!" A father with a child touched his beer belly and laughed, "Have you seen the TO assist?" Did you watch the last game against AK? If it's on the field, I don't think Gerrard will be so tired! ”
Fans have mixed reviews of Tang Wu's arrival, although Chelsea have repeatedly stressed that Tang Wu is not for sale, although Liverpool has avoided talking about Tang Wu over and over again. But in reality, Tang Wu's whereabouts have been locked by the media, and no one believes that this guy who travels back and forth between Liverpool's home stadium and training ground is just a simple visit.
Head east from Anfield, out of the city and take the highway and head southeast for a distance to reach a small town called the West Derby.
In fact, Melwood is training right between Liverpool and the West Derby.
After coming to the Melwood training base, Tang Wu only saw a three-meter-high iron fence. After walking along the iron fence for some distance, I saw a red brick wall. Above the fence is a Liverpool crest, symbolising that this is the main gate of Melwood.
After passing through the pedestrian gate, Tang Wu entered the Melwood training base.
It was a few pitches, each separated by an iron fence, similar to the Harrington training base.
Since taking charge of Chelsea, Abbu is investing in a good training base. It will take some time for the Cobham training base to be fully completed.
Most of the Premier League's training bases are like this, the good and the good are limited, and the bad is not much worse. But in any case, the turf is indeed much stronger than the domestic one.
Seeing Tang Wu's arrival, Benitez took the lead and took him over from Andre.
"Steven, come here!" Benitez shouted towards the pitch.
After a while, Gerard, dressed in a training suit, trotted over. After looking Tang Wu up and down, he grinned at the corners of his mouth and showed a kind expression, and stretched out his hand to Tang Wu and said, "Okay, welcome to the Melwood training base." ”
"Hello Captain Steven, please take care of me!" Tang Wu also smiled in return.
Gerald had heard the news about Tang Wu since yesterday, and he wasn't so surprised when he saw Tang Wu here again today.
For him, although Tang Wu's transfer here was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
The Premier League has played three games, and Tang Wu has been ranked outside the sixteen-man squad, which already reveals a strange atmosphere.
Now that Chelsea have won three in a row, and the Czech goalkeeper is deeply loved by the new coach, it is reasonable for Tang Wu to transfer away.
Although Tang Wu's appearance at Liverpool was a little surprising to Gerrard, the Reds captain quickly adjusted his mood. Although he had led the Reds to two previous talks with Chelsea with Tang Wu, both times without victory.
Speaking of which, Gerrard didn't hold a grudge because of Tang Wu's foul. If Owen still has some bitterness towards Tang Wu, Gerald doesn't have any personal anger.
Tang Wu used a foul to stop Owen's single knife, but Tang Wu had already paid the price for it.
A red card and a free kick can already be equivalent to a single knife. It's just that Owen is young and vigorous and didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
On the pitch, it's normal for each to be his own master. On the contrary, Gerrard is more optimistic that after a teammate like Tang Wu joins the Reds, he will also give up personal gains and losses for Liverpool.
"This is the fitness coach Giusto, this is the assistant coach Paco, this is the goalkeeper coach Reina!" Gerrard walked in front of him and introduced the "important personnel" in the team to Tang Wu one by one.
When introducing the goalkeeper coach, Tang Wu took a look at it, and Reina's identity reminded Tang Wu of Anowan, who can be said to be his mentor and guide in the Premier League.
Although the contract has not yet been signed, and although there has been no official announcement yet, Tang Wu knows that this season is basically going to be spent here. Therefore, getting to know some coach-level staff in advance will also help Tang Wu integrate into the team.
"You'd better say hi to Mr. Paco, because he's usually in charge of our daily training." Gerald pointed to the assistant coach with a whistle around his neck and let Tang Wu in front of him.
"Hello Mr. Paco." Tang Wu took the lead in stretching out his hand.
"Hello, I've heard from you a long time ago." Paco is Spanish, so when he heard Tang Wu's proficient Spanish, he was also kind.
"You get to experience a different life here, and I dare say Liverpool are the most united team in the Premier League! I'm very optimistic about you, young man! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Paco." Tang Wu replied politely.
After introducing the coaches, Gerrard took Tang Wu to visit the lounge, gym, swimming pool, canteen and other places. According to Gerrard, this is just a place for a team to train, so you can't see the youth team here.
'To be honest, I thought about how good it would be if you were a goalkeeper for Liverpool last season and I would save a lot of energy. After walking around, Gerald took Tang Wu to find a place to sit down and said frankly.
"Why?" Tang Wu asked with a smile.
"Because he will never forget your 'mountaintop'!" A hearty laugh came from behind the two of them.
Looking back, former Liverpool captain Hyypia appeared behind the two at some point. Seeing that Tang Wu had the intention of standing up, he immediately waved his hand and sat down beside Tang Wu together.
