Chapter 121: We Fight for the Championship

Gao Bo also got the start for Liverpool, and he was a little silent as he looked at the name on it.

While Liverpool fans may not be happy with their team's performance this season, they blame the team for not making any big signings this season.

After a successful 07-08 season, Benitez has not made any major changes to his current squad – in addition to being constrained by the transfer budget, the Reds' current squad is also something that Benitez is more comfortable with. Liverpool were very quiet in the summer transfer window before the start of the season, signing Degen from Borussia Dortmund and then Italy international Sosena from Udinese for seven million, while striker Robbie Keane, who signed from Tottenham for nineteen million, returned to Tottenham after only half a season at Liverpool. In addition, Liverpool have also signed the young centre-forward Eng of the Grand Paris, the Spaniard winger Liela and now Leipzig's main goalkeeper Gulacic.

In terms of transfers, some meritorious players have left one after another, with knife defender Riese cabbage price went to Rome, Le Tale finally did not prove himself and transferred back to Le Mans, Australian Colwill went to Galatasaray on a free transfer, Crouch transferred to Portsmouth, and Finnan went to Spain.

Judging from the transfer alone, Liverpool has made a number of meritorious achievements, and then bought some players who cannot be used immediately, so fans are very dissatisfied with the team's transfer operation.

But from Gao Bo's eyes, the starting lineup lined up by Benitez in front of him can be said to be the strongest lineup of Liverpool in the past two decades.

Goalkeeper Reina, despite his dip in form this season, is always much better than Mignolet. In terms of the centre-back combination, Skrtel returned from injury in time, and his partnership with Carragher may be much better than that of Ager and Carragher, with right wing-back Arbeloa, a player who was later bought by Real Madrid, and left-back Aurelio.

If Liverpool's lineup at the back is ordinary in the Premier League giants, then Liverpool's midfield combination is quite luxurious even if it is placed in the whole of Europe!

Liverpool's midfield triangle is clear-cut, with Xavi Alonso being the team's metronome, Mascherano being more responsible for defensive interceptions, and Gerrard being more involved in attacking, with his long-range shots and ability to organise attacks in a midfield position more than enough to support Liverpool's attacking firepower – especially with Torres up front. On both sides of Liverpool, Liela and Kuyt are also quite sharp.

In Gao Bo's view, such a lineup is enough to compete for the Champions League title. Compared to Liverpool's increasingly mediocre player structure in the coming seasons, this squad can be regarded as the sunshine before the darkness.

.....

"Actually, the runners-up can also play in the Europa League." Lin Sen was standing beside Gao Bo, and he looked at Gao Bo's very solemn face and said.

Gao Bo turned around: "I know. ”

"But so what? Winning this championship and making this season perfect is our goal! ”

Lin Sen nodded, many football managers are perfectionists, so it was not surprising that Gao Bo said this.

"Liverpool are not easy to deal with..."

Gao Bo's expression at this time was a little solemn.

When the players' footsteps sounded outside the door, Gao Bo immediately reverted to his confident appearance.

Now the players are a little nervous.

After returning from the warm-up, the players became quieter....... It's a little too quiet.

Gao Bo sensed this information, and before going to warm up, the players were still in good spirits, but at this moment, when the game was getting closer and closer, the players were a little silent.

The players are nervous!

Gao Bo immediately made a judgment.

For a second-division team like Luton, none of the players in this group have any experience of playing in the final!

And what about their opponents, Liverpool?

Two seasons ago, Liverpool reversed Milan to win the Champions League after three goals down in Istanbul!

There is no way to compare the two sides in terms of final experience.

So when the final was getting closer, the players were thinking a little too much.

Gao Bo clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to look at him.

He's going to speak.

"Is anyone scared of Liverpool?"

Gao Bo asked.

The players looked up at their manager.

"If anyone is afraid, please raise your hands!"

Gao Bo continued.

Of course, no one in the locker room raised their hands, and it was obvious that raising their hands now was not to say that they were cowards?

"I said we were going to win the FA Cup!" Gao Bo's eyes were firm, he spoke calmly, and his words revealed undoubted self-confidence.

"I didn't just say it!!"

"We can win Liverpool!! It's like we beat Chelsea! Win over Manchester City! The same !! as the win over Arsenal ”

The players gradually straightened their backs, and the games that the manager said were moments worth remembering forever for the players.

Victory, easily addictive...

'Do you remember Liverpool's defeat at home to Chelsea?' Gao Bo stretched out three fingers and fingered, "Three balls!" Liverpool were scored three goals by Chelsea!! ”

"They were knocked out of the Champions League because of that!"

"And what about us? We won 2-0 against Chelsea! We didn't let Chelsea score a single goal!! ”

The confidence on Gao Bo's face was even more aggressive, and his cold gaze swept over everyone in the locker room. The players felt as if their skin was about to be pierced by the manager's gaze!

"We can finish off Chelsea! Then you can also take out Liverpool!! ”

Some players opened their mouths and said that there is no logic in a football game, not that Luton Town won against Chelsea and Chelsea won against Liverpool, so that Luton won against Liverpool - football is not a simple mathematical conversion problem.

"I don't say this for the sake of sophistry. Because football is not a math problem!! Gao Bo's eyes burned, "But! That at least speaks for itself! We weren't completely underdog against Liverpool! We were able to threaten their goal!! Able to score goals!! Again, our defence is solid enough!! Didier Drogba hasn't scored against us either! Isn't it!!! ”

At this time, the players did not suspect it... They nodded frequently.

"We haven't been training for 10 days in a row to come to Wembley and Liverpool for a friendly match!!" The volume of the high-wave sound suddenly increases!

"We've got a bunch of stuff ready for Liverpool to try! Let them see how good we are!! ”

"Anyway!! We're all going to bring something back from Wembley!! ”

"I hope it's the FA Cup!! trophy'

"We don't do anything else!!" Gao Bo walked up to the middle of the players and raised his fist.

"We fight for the championship!!"

Gao Bo's tone and movements are a bit secondary, but in such an atmosphere, he still managed to stir up the emotions of the players!

"We fight for the championship!!"

The players raise their arms.

The fist is pointed straight at the sky, as if it can knock a hole in the sky!!
