Volume 3 Chapter 3 Listen, the drums of war beat
"I'm not so reckless and would joke with my family, my agent and the hordes of sponsors behind me," he said, standing on the balcony with his coffee and speaking to Isabella, "It wasn't just my decision at the time"
Now Jonathan should have figured it out, after the high-profile announcement that day to stay in the team, Jonathan wanted to stop talking, and Makqin only said one sentence to him: "My decision has not been missed so far!" β
Later, he didn't explain a word to Jonathan, which can be regarded as a test for him, if he doesn't have any vision at all, he should consider changing agents.
Now that he is carrying tens of millions of sponsorships, he takes care of all the big and small things, how can he rest assured if he has no vision?
Isabella suddenly felt that the current Mackin was a bit like his father, she sat on the lounge chair, clubbed her face, and asked leisurely, "So you have already thought about it?" β
He shook his head and looked at the cool starry sky in the distance, under this sky, how many joys and sorrows and stirring stories were deduced, and he and the people around him were just waves.
"Issa, Liverpool shouldn't be like this, he definitely shouldn't be like this, and I'm not going to join Liverpool like this"
Isabella looked dazed, couldn't understand what he was saying, isn't the club almost like this, what's the difference?
Mack Qin turned his head to look at the ignorant Isabella and smiled, even though she was older than himself, she was like a child in front of him, and it had slowly become a habit.
"Liverpool should be the Liverpool of Liverpool, and the real Liverpool are the fans who never leave him", he said warmly, holding her hand.
It wasn't until today that he realized that he was not only realizing his football dream, but Liverpool was also changing his destiny with his hand.
It's just that the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, the ones that should come will come sooner or later, and he will never be absent, originally he thought that Liverpool could find a good buyer to make a smooth transition, and it was okay, he played his football dream steadfastly.
But now, he feels heartache and regrets, if he hadn't been blindly mixed up and self-righteous, maybe ......
He needed to sort it out slowly, somewhat making up for his recklessness, but some of them were just vague ideas, not very clear.
"Don't be too tired, I don't want to see you unhappy because of this," Isabella said softly, taking his hand back.
β¦β¦
The sun was still rising the next morning, but Liverpool were no longer the focus of the Premier League, even if they lost the Double Red Club and lost the battle of mortal enemies.
Most of the reporters went to Manchester, to London, where there were two tycoons, two local tycoons, and an upstart who spent 80 million in the summer at White Hart Lane.
The Premier League is making great strides into the era of capital, and in the future, it will completely plunge the world's capital into madness.
Now only local newspapers like Les Echos are still keeping an eye on their achievements.
The rest of the newspapers even ran bets on when Benitez would be gone, which superstar would be sold first, and most infuriatingly, on whether they would be relegated.
"Shit, these bastards who see the wind and spew shit all over their mouths, even if Manchester United are relegated, we won't go to the damn Championship," Harry scolded, slamming the newspaper.
"There is also an echo, why are you so unambitious, what else will we get the first win, and our future is worrying in the next Champions League group stage"
βshitβ
This season, Liverpool directly entered the group stage, but they were not separated from Marseille and were divided into another group, the other two teams are PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid.
Tomorrow they will fly to Marseille again for the first round of the Champions League group stage, and the echo is not wrong to report that their Champions League future is in doubt.
The three teams, there is no absolute weak team, they are all strong in various countries, even Liverpool has to play seriously when they are full of blood, needless to say that they only have residual blood left now.
In addition to the sluggish dressing room atmosphere, Benitez now faces the biggest problem in the forward line, with only Voronin and Kuyt available, but after Benayoun is gone, Kuyt will have to make cameos on the wing from time to time.
Benayoun is actually good to say that the team's biggest loss this year is the loss of Arbeloa, who is a substitute in four positions, and as soon as he left, the Liverpool bench was immediately revealed.
Tony wiped the bar and said calmly, "Hey, don't smash my cup"
"Shit, you're paralyzed, and you're not angry at all?"
Tony shrugged his shoulders, "Haven't we had enough of a problem over the years?" That's a piece of."
"Tony, clear the field", as the bar door was pushed open, a black-haired teenager walked in with a bun face.
The small bar was already empty, and last night Mackin greeted Tony, and they were all in the room.
The two of them ran to eat pizza next door with interest, and when Tony led the door, he turned around and said, "Today's turnover is on your head"
Gerald sat down and took the glass from Mackin and looked around the little bar.
"I knew you had such a stronghold, but you haven't been here, it's exactly what Luca said"
Makqin put down the bottle, sat down next to Gerrard, and said to him: "Steven, did you say that Xavi (Alonso) would agree with our suggestion when he came in a while?" β
Gerald held the cup in both hands and wrinkled his famous bun face, "It's hard to say, after all, it conflicts with his style"
What the two of them are discussing is to change the team's current style of play, and in Torres' absence, Benitez's impactful and fast style of play will have no fulcrum.
With Gerrard and Kuyt up front, Torres is a level less powerful, which is the main reason why they are attacking so hard now.
To put it bluntly, they want to replicate the style of play of England after being transformed by Capello, and bring up the ball in possession, even if it is ineffective in the back, so that the opponent will have fewer attacking rounds.
Even if Liverpool can't score goals, the ability of the back line and the back can at least ensure that they don't lose or lose less.
If they continue to play in quick rounds like this, they will be counterattacked if they can't penetrate the front court, and Liverpool will really run for relegation, although now they are already in the relegation zone.
This is a way that is not a solution, and it may be useful to rely on them to follow the cat and the tiger like this.
The two had been discussing the plan since returning from the national team, and the defeat to Manchester United caused Gerrard to grit his teeth and agree to his suggestion.
But the premise is to have Alonso's support, after all, even if he has a conflict with Benitez, he is still the core of his men, which is determined by Benitez's tactical style.
The tempo of the team is in the hands of their big midfielders, and if they agree, there may be something to do.
As for Benitez, if he could communicate, why would he be reduced to this role.
Now the result is the most important thing, anyone can sacrifice for the sake of the result, they don't want to be relegated with the team as soon as they win the championship, it would be a shame to throw it to grandma's house.
At present, it seems that Manchester City did it in the 30s, and after winning the championship, it will be relegated, and Liverpool will dare to do this, it will definitely be famous!
But it sounds easy, but it's a hassle to operate, after all, they are not the manager, and it is very easy to cause chaos on the pitch and then chaos in the dressing room.
It's best to make Benitez unspeakable, otherwise it will be another club turmoil, and Gerrard will be in a dilemma.
β¦β¦
Alonso frowned tightly, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, he is now a Real Madrid player, so he doesn't want to get involved too much in Liverpool's affairs.
It's good to be a celebrity here safely, and as for the future, he doesn't want to set himself on fire if he doesn't have much to manage.
The team loses its attacking speed, and his playmaking role will weaken sixty percent of his skills, after all, he relies on long passes to win the world.
"Are you sure it works? After all, we're just players," he asked.
To make such a big sacrifice for himself, if it weren't for Gerard and Mark on the other side, he would have walked away a long time ago.
Mark and Gerrard glanced at each other and shook their heads, Mark was afraid that Alonso would back down, so he hurriedly said: "But we know that if this continues, the team will definitely be finished, and you don't want to leave with the reputation of a relegation team."
"It's a bit serious," Alonso said, "that's how we played last year, and even if we almost missed this year for various reasons, we won't be relegated."
Big brother, you are really satisfied with not being downgraded, and it really has nothing to do with yourself.
In fact, it was the same in his previous life, Brother Long did not have the status of a celebrity in Real Madrid, and only got close to Liverpool after retiring, and the object of his loyalty in his heart has always been Real Madrid.
Real Madrid also don't know how many stories of infatuated women and bad men have been staged, Mackin got rid of these messy ideas, and now the main thing is to convince Alonso.
"Xavi", Gerrard said with a sad face, "why have we worked together for more than four years, you have won almost all the team honours in Liverpool, I know, you have feelings for this place, although you are leaving next year, but you don't want to see Liverpool so decadent."
Alonso struggled internally, he knew what that meant, Benitez and his conflict was because he didn't feel respected, but after all, it was Benitez who made him a world-class midfielder.
The two of them are still Spanish fellows, so it stands to reason that he can't do this, but since they put it forward, if they don't cooperate, they won't really have to be friends in the future, which is forcing him.
"Xavi", Mackin also said, "I remember when I was in the reserves, you guided me to play the heart of the midfield, and you said that the organization is to play to its own strengths and find the opponent's weaknesses"
"I'm so grateful to you, I've benefited a lot from this leading organizational mindset, and I've done that a lot of times, but now that our old strengths are gone, shouldn't we change that?"
Alonso still didn't say a word, he understood the reason, but it was not so easy to make such a decision.
Even if his performance is poor, for the sake of Liverpool, he will admit it, not to mention that he has not rested for a summer, and his state at the beginning of the season has not been very good, but Bei Bald has to use him.
Benitez has been silent in the tactical video all day, maybe they can get past one or two games, but definitely not three!
Benitez would definitely have realised that they meant it, and Alonso could imagine his fury when he knew about it, and he would think he had betrayed him and teamed up to empty him.
Is it necessary? He's hard to decide!
"Xavi, if something happens, I'll take all the blame", Gerrard said solemnly, "What's more, we can't make big changes to the tactics, so the teammates will not adapt, just control the number of rounds"
Alonso nodded, "I understand, our attack is weakened now, you want to reduce the opponent's attacking chances and reduce the pressure on our defense"
"That's right", Gerrard nodded and said, "Even if it's a draw, we can't lose anymore, otherwise the team will collapse, do you think Rafa has the ability to boost morale?" β
"He's just going to insist that you defend faster this time, go up there faster, but now it's a matter of the mentality of the whole team, even if Jamie and I go and do it one by one, it won't be too effective, after all, the root of the problem is beyond our ability"
"The only thing we can do now is to lose as little as possible, and if we lose too much, I'm afraid that many people will give up on themselves and become numb, and at that time maybe only a different team can save Liverpool"
Gerrard said in a low tone, "Xavi, Mark and I don't want to target anyone, we're just here for Liverpool......"
