Volume 2 Chapter 4 The Sun and the Rain

Rafa Benitez is in a good mood, with seven straight wins in all competitions and a tentative winter transfer target, but the best news is that there are no new injuries during the international break, except for Aurelio and an old one.

Some time ago, assistant coach Paco officially left, and after 11 years with Bei Bald, Sammy Lee officially became the new assistant coach at Anfield.

He is the image of a typical middle-aged British man in the movie, with thinning hair and a beer belly, and training defense is a sharp weapon.

"Rafa, the team is in good shape at the moment, after playing Bolton, the next three games are a bit difficult", they are in the office discussing the next fixtures.

"The last three games were too tiring for the players, so I would suggest focusing on the Champions League and Manchester United, with Reading rotating the squad"

Benitez scratched his hair and looked at the schedule again, is the Champions League going to be the top spot in the group? He was even more reluctant to give up even one game in the league.

Now the points of the four teams are staggered, and no one can get rid of the other, and one of them will fall behind if he is not careful.

"How's Mark's doing?"

Sammy Lee smiled and said, "He's very good, he talks and laughs with his teammates, and I can't see that he is depressed~"

Benitez breathed a sigh of relief, Mark's role is getting bigger and bigger, and when the winter transfer is completed, he will still be useful.

This kind of thing is calm in the circle, the media is lively and the fans are cheering, celebrities? That's all media people.

"Look at it, don't let him be affected~"

……

"The sky in Anfield is a sunny day, the people of Anfield like it, hello everyone, I am Zhan Jun......"

"Today is a good day, not only Liverpool is celebrating seven consecutive wins in all competitions, of course, for domestic fans, Sine officially bought the Premier League broadcast rights, everyone has a blessing, this season I will explain the Premier League ...... for everyone"

'Liverpool host Bolton Wanderers today, Bolton are known as a concentration camp for veterans, they are very experienced in the Premier League, they are not good at playing ......'

"The famous Chinese rising star in the Liverpool team, Mackqin, is familiar to everyone, and now his video has a high number of views and is in the midst of huge controversy......"

Mackin didn't make the squad for this game, he sat in the stands between Sam and them, and waited leisurely for the game to begin.

Mackqin's die-hard fan base has not only not shrunk after this incident, but has grown, and has become a large phalanx in the stands, like the prince who guards them.

'Mark was in the crowd today and the Anfield fans were friendly to him, so what did Benitez think? , Pinathan asked.

'He's a Liverpool kid and Liverpool fans can never treat him like any other fan,' said McManaman.

"But things can't turn around overnight, and after Mark came out publicly, I saw that many fans on the Internet have come to a lot of sense......"

"The fans need to vent, Mark has just been the fuse, but his talent is unmatched, we have to face up to the problems of English football itself, if we only blame Mark, then English football will never improve......"

In the familiar singing, the red flag fluttered, and every time he came to this time, his heart was surging, this stadium had incredible power.

Liverpool started the game with a neat line-up and launched wave after wave of attacks against Bolton Wanderers under the command of Alonso.

It doesn't feel it on the pitch yet, and watching Alonso's long ball from the stands is a treat.

He always has a rhythm or rhythm that complements his teammates' running positions, and they have brains that know when to run, when to stop, whether fast or slow.

Liverpool opened up the game in the fourteenth minute when a Bolton defender tripped Torres in the box and Kuyt converted the penalty.

One to zero.

After the goal, Kuyt quickly ran to the stands on Mack's side and lifted his jersey, revealing the white vest inside.

It reads: "Mark, we have your back, come on!" ”

More teammates ran over and put their arms around her, waving their fists excitedly towards the stands, and Mascherano pointed at Kuyt's chest,

"Mark, come on!" , the camera followed closely, and most of the fans in the stands also shouted, "Come on, Mark, we're waiting for you to come back~"

Mark has brought us so much joy, in times of sadness, we comfort you, in times of suffering, we support you!

Who remembers the teenager who hissed and shouted in the stands of Istanbul two years ago? Who remembers the hero who pulled Liverpool back from the cliff at the last second?

His eyes were a little moist, he smiled and got up to applaud his teammates, to the stands around him, where he was not afraid of anything.

"Gerrard, long shot~, Benayoun follow-up~, Goal~~~"

"Skrtel, Red Army Guard! Header Score~"

"The Red Army's offensive is really an endless tide of the Spring River~"

Every Liverpool team-mate went to the sidelines after scoring a goal, revealing the same white T-shirt......

Today's theme is Sharing Honor and Disgrace! You'll never walk alone at Anfield!

In the end, Liverpool swept Bolton down 3-0 cleanly, winning eight consecutive victories in all competitions.

……

Three days later, away at Reading, Rafael Benitez thought about it and sent in a full bench line-up, retaining the physical strength of the main team to fight for the top spot in the Champions League group and the subsequent double red meeting.

Reading can lose, but losing to Manchester United, a champion, especially at home, would lose a season's momentum!

Mackin finally made the squad and came off the bench.

But the venue where he started for the first time didn't give him any face today.

From the first minute he came out, there was a flood of boos, no scolding, only wild boos.

They have a double hatred for Mackqin, he provided two assists at this venue in the last League Cup, helping the team beat Reading by a big beat, and with this incident, it can really be said that the old and new hatred are counted together.

Not only the fans, but also the wild collisions and savage flying tackles on the field, as well as the referee's lenient scale, if he didn't feel sensitive, he would probably be injured.

He played very hard, only kept running, passed quickly, didn't dare to dribble the ball at all, and he felt the malice in front of him.

Even if Benitez kept complaining to the fourth official off the field, it was useless, he had to wade over by himself.

It's like Cristiano Ronaldo after Wayne Rooney was sent off last year.

In the end, Liverpool's strategy was abandoned, and they tasted their first league defeat of the season.

Mack played 30 minutes, no goals, no assists, and walked out of the pitch with his head down after the game, and the 0-2 result made him unhappy.

Benitez found him after the game and surprised him a little.

"Mark, I didn't arrange for you to come off the bench at home but away, just to make you clearly understand your current situation, every Premier League away game will be hell for you in the future......"

In Benitez's eyes, he is no longer sixteen, but an attacking amplifier after the winter transfer period, and if he wants to carry the burden, he will have to bear it.

If he can't stand this booing and targeting, he will still arrange for him to come off the bench from time to time, but it's just a substitute, which superstar doesn't get up and down?

"Don't worry, I just need to get used to the new rhythm, after all, I'm famous, and it's not unusual to be taken care of, haha"

As long as he can play, he won't be afraid of anything!

……

As soon as I got home, before I lay on the bed for a while, Julie called, he didn't turn on the phone much after the accident a while ago, and she didn't reply to her text messages, and she didn't care about it after she came back.

"Mark, how are you doing?"

"Very good, you should know it, I haven't congratulated you on being a guest at Sky Sports."

"Thanks to you, my last column became popular, but if you know that this is the case, I'd rather not write it~"

"Eldest sister, don't be hypocritical, it's not time for you to cry a while ago~, let's get down to business"

"I came to you for something important, can't you stop hurting me?"

"Okay, you say"

“……”

"Forget it, I owe you", she sighed secretly, "There is a new host on the BBC side who may want to take you to the position, and now scolding you is quite eye-catching~"

"Oh, it's not too much of him~"

"......, pay attention, that kid has no bottom line. And the person who sent you the shells, I found a clue......"

"What?" He sat up.
