Chapter 311: Do you want to change the style of play?
Six months ago, the high-spirited Bei Bald took charge of Anfield, and he was full of ambition to replace Owen, Murphy, Husky and other Red Army veterans with his hometown's "descendant" players, and wanted to form a new invincible Liverpool.
Six months on, even Bei himself suspects that leaving Valencia may have been the biggest mistake of his coaching career.
The wavering of Be's belief comes from the record.
From the first day of the season, the Reds were like a "can't help Adou", watching the top team go early.
Of course, bald is not such a discouraged person.
The team has had its ups and downs in the league, always seemingly giving hope to the bald, but at critical moments, throwing the bald back to the bottom.
Everton's defeat to Chelsea on Saturday was supposed to be their best chance to close the gap on their city rivals, but Liverpool failed to win the game.
The Reds host Bayer Leverkusen in the knockout stages of the Champions League next Tuesday, and although the fourth-placed Bundesliga winners have long since given up any hope of winning the title, their good form of three wins and one defeat in their last four games means they won't be willing to surrender easily.
What's more, on the weekend, Beckon will travel to Cardiff for the Carabao Cup final, which would be Liverpool's easiest title of the season.
Sadly, however, the fact that the opponents were Chelsea seemed to signal that the Spaniard's first season at Anfield would come to nothing.
The league or cup competition is behind him, and his coaching position is threatened like never before.
In recent days, a rumour has been spreading in Liverpool, a rumour about the former Red Army king Michael Owen.
Is Owen coming back?
Owen came off the bench to score his 11th goal of the season in last week's La Liga tie with Osasuna, an important equaliser that eventually helped Real Madrid turn the tables and take three points.
Despite his limited playing time, Owen still seized his opportunity and became the most efficient striker in La Liga!
This made Florentino very difficult, Owen is so efficient in scoring goals, is he replacing Ronaldo? Or replace Raul?
The names "Ronaldo" and "Raul" alone have already decided the position of Real Madrid's starting striker. As a result, Real Madrid coach Rosenborg can only "turn a blind eye" to Owen's efforts.
Owen said he was disappointed with his lack of starts, but he still believes he can succeed at Real Madrid.
Although Owen insisted that his life in Madrid was not unhappy, the British and Spanish media reported that he would leave Spain and return to England. And Liverpool undoubtedly have a very deep affection for this player they have barely sold.
Especially the captain Gerrard.
In an interview on Tuesday, the Reds captain bluntly said: "I'm delighted to be playing alongside Owen again. ”
Similar voices have come from many Anfield veterans, led by Rush and, of course, more Liverpool fans.
Bei Bald naturally knows what the KOPs mean to Owen for four years - it was Bei Bald himself who agreed to Real Madrid to exchange Ganunez for 900w pounds for Owen in the first place!
But only Xavi Alonso has won the trust of the fans, and Nunez, Garcia, Pellegrino and others have all proved to be worthy of Liverpool's shirt. In particular, Morientes, who was bought from Real Madrid last month, also did not give a performance worthy of his fame!
Bevin knows better that once Owen does return to Anfield after the season, it will undoubtedly be a complete repudiation of the "Spanish Revolution" that he has painstakingly managed.
At the beginning of his tenure at Liverpool, some Reds legends pointed out that it was not advisable for him to abandon "veteran" players. Although the Spaniard struggled to maintain Gerrard's central position and recently suggested a contract extension for defensive stalwart Carragher, the team's performance in the league clearly shows that the real defeat of the "Western-style Reds" is not due to lack of strength, but to lack the spirit of the Red Army to win at all costs in the face of tough battles.
This is another explanation for the expectation of Irving's return.
After the league draws with Birmingham City and Blackburn, Bellu held a meeting the following day to discuss how to make the midfielders and strikers form an effective attack on their own.
There have been four such rallies since the beginning of the year, and for more than two months, it seems that he has been looking for a way to easily break down the opponent's goal.
Coupled with the recent discussions about Owen's return, Bei Bald seems to be a little "suspicious" during this time.
'I didn't come to Liverpool to make money, I wanted to add honour to the club by working hard and I want everyone here to do their best.' Clearly, a crisis of confidence in the bald and the players seems to be about to erupt.
Bei Bald said more vaguely, but it is foreseeable that some players with "bad attitudes" will be swept away after the season, and the Spaniard will have to complete the transformation of the team with more newcomers.
But that was all for later, as the blind team dropped to sixth place again and needed to secure at least one cup title while maintaining a top-four spot in the league.
As long as any cup champion can let Bei Bald "continue his life". Of these, only the League Cup trophy is within reach.
Of course, even if the "Spanish Gang" falls, Bei Bald still has other "dependence".
That's Tang Wu!
The best player in the Premier League in December and January, Liverpool's undefeated guarantee, and the "secret weapon" of the Reds' "robbery of wealth", can easily catch JRRY's cat
Even those KOPs who oppose Bei Bald also raised their thumbs and praised Bei Bald for bringing TO to Liverpool, which was the most correct decision he made this season!
Tang Wu's "surprises" to Bei Bald are not limited to these.
Assists, long balls, top gains, shots. Tang Wu's offensive ability was no less than that of an ordinary striker. Coupled with Tang Wu's long physical strength, the "Free Man Goalkeeper" has been firmly seated by Tang Wu.
In the past games, Tang Wu also gradually showed a natural leadership temperament, which made Bei Bald see "hope" - even if Owen returned to Liverpool, there was someone who could replace him.
Technically, Owen and Tang Wu are both top-notch existences in their respective positions; In terms of fighting will, Liverpool's victory in many difficult and important games this season is really the result of Tang Wu's gritted teeth and persistence.
He has the ability and the spirit of the Red Army to persevere and fight to the end.
Bei Bald looked at Tang Wu who practiced fighting with Dudek in the Melwood training base, and a ridiculous but scratching idea suddenly appeared in the head of the Spanish young marshal, if Tang Wu is the core to form an offensive and defensive lineup, then where will Liverpool go?
