639. Difficult rotation

There was a mistake in the previous chapter, Coutinho was previously two yellows and one red, and he was only suspended for one game, so he was not in the rotation. Long Shute, who was directly red carded, was suspended for three games.

-

"It's in!"

Zhan Tianjun once again let out a passionate roar in the live broadcast room:

“6-1! Long Shute completely kills the suspense!

Before the game, I am afraid that no one expected that Liverpool's substitute team would be able to win such a hearty away victory, right? ”

Guest Zhang Lu just smiled:

"Hehe, Liverpool have killed red eyes, Bordeaux now doesn't even have the strength to defend......"

-

It was the 81st minute of the game, and there were no boos at the Sabang Delmar Stadium.

The 35,000-seat stands were half empty, and even at half-time, a large number of home fans got up and left.

Bordeaux manager, French legend, Bayern legend, Willie Sagnol has collapsed in his dugout.

With a somewhat resentful gaze, he glared viciously at Rogers not far away.

Damn British!

Fooled me from the start!

You use a lot of substitutes as the starting line-up just to get us angry and attack aggressively, right?

Damn liars!

-

Rodgers didn't know what the opposing coach was thinking.

He just felt very happy, but he didn't expect that without bothering himself, Long Shute actually led these players to a wonderful victory!

Bordeaux, the strongest player in the group, is also so vulnerable, and it looks ...... That's all there is to the Europa League!

Or is it more difficult in the Premier League!

This kind of league without any level...... Just leave it to that number eight!

As a master tactician, I'd better concentrate all my energy on the league!

-

When Lonshit scored his fourth goal of a single game in the 86th minute, the whole stadium finally lost its voice.

The 7-1 score made the Bordeaux players fall to their knees, hide their faces and weep, and the only few hundred Liverpool fans left in the stands were still tirelessly waving the red flag.

Perhaps Sagnol was not wrong, they fell into Liverpool's trap from the start.

They thought that the reason why Liverpool sent such a starting line-up was because the Reds did not attach importance to the Europa League, so Bordeaux involuntarily let their guard down.

The intensity of Ligue 1 is not in the same dimension as the Premier League at all, and some teams don't even know anything about the overall tactics, and once they relax, they are simply beaten into a sieve by Liverpool in minutes!

Lonjut scored a hat-trick in the first half and another pass in the second half, with Lallana and Divock Origi each adding the icing on the cake to a big win.

If Bordeaux hadn't relaxed too much and had been steady, Liverpool's rotation would never have been able to get seven in and seven out of their lineup.

But they didn't show the respect they deserved, so they ...... Tragedy.

-

With the aftermath of a big victory, Liverpool returned to the British Isles.

Just two days later, they welcomed the sixth round of the Premier League at Anfield.

The main players who have been recuperating for a week, under the leadership of a talented manager who has been carefully studying for a week, drew 1-1 with the "Canary" Norwich City at their home stadium......

Coutinho's free-kick hit the post, Benteke couldn't score, Klein's long-range shot went just wide, Milner's volley was denied, and Sturridge, who had returned from injury, was positive and even tripped in the box, but the referee insisted on refusing to blow the whistle......

The only goal was scored by Danny Ince, who replaced the injured Benteke in the second half, and although Liverpool had a considerable advantage and had three times as many shots on goal, they just couldn't get the three points.

Even at the last moment, the Reds almost had their second breach, and if it weren't for Mignolet's brave save, Rodgers and his disciples would have had to lose two league games in a row!

-

The reason why the head coach of the Premier League is the second most difficult manager in the world after the Chinese team is because the media here is too powerful.

A victory can blow you to the best in the world, and a defeat can instantly trample you into hell.

Rogers has been through such ups and downs for a long time, so he wasn't too embarrassed when faced with media difficulties.

But he still couldn't answer the reporter's question:

"In the Europa League two days, you won big with a rotation lineup, and none of the 11 players who started today participated in that game, there should be no problem with the fitness of the players, why was they held to a draw at home by an underdog like Norwich?"

Rogers could only come up with dialectics to perfunctory reporters:

"The outcome of a game is determined by many factors, not whoever has good physical strength will definitely win, a draw is not necessarily a bad thing, we can sum up the experience and prepare for the future games, after all, this season has just begun, and it is normal to have a little ups and downs......

The journalist is clearly not satisfied:

"Do you think Ronjut's absence affected the outcome of this match?"

Rogers was a little embarrassed.

This kind of problem is often a trap that is not too big or too small:

If you answer "no", it is obviously disrespectful to the core of the team, and you will be laughed at and tell nonsense with your eyes open.

If the answer is "yes", then there is a high risk of being distorted into "the manager thinks that Lonshette is the culprit of the loss" and "one person's impulse ruined the team's results......

Anyway, there are some questions that will not satisfy everyone, no matter how you answer them.

-

Three days later, Liverpool, once again in the rotation, welcomed an unfamiliar opponent at home.

Carisle United.

They come from the third tier of League Two, and their starting line-up is worth less than a tenth of Bad Stuber's, with a maximum weekly wage of just £2,000......

With the FA's suspension ban on the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup, Lonshette can only continue to act as a spectator in the stands for this game.

The last thing he likes is watching his team play from the stands because he can't do anything about it no matter what the result is.

The League Cup and FA Cup have always been hotbeds of upsets, with top teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal often being attacked by third- or even fourth-tier teams.

After all, for the Premier League team, even if this kind of cup competition wins the final championship, it is only one or two million prizes, and one person can share less than 10,000 yuan, but for the lower teams, one million pounds...... That's enough for the club's operating expenses for a season!

Fortunately, the rotation players were still fighting and relatively well prepared, and when the 90 minutes were over, they beat their opponents with a thrilling 2-1 to successfully advance to the next round.

It was a game that made both Rodgers and Ronschette a little scared, with a tenacious Carisle United almost sending the game to extra time in stoppage time.

Rodgers was eager to replace both Coutinho and Sturridge, but he had already used up three substitutions, so he could only pretend to be calm with his hands in his pockets and put on an unfathomable appearance......

-

Rotation is a good thing most of the time, especially when there are two games a week, the main players can get a good rest, the possibility of injury will be reduced to a certain extent, and the substitutes can get valuable playing opportunities and not be in a slump due to a long period of no ball to play.

But the disadvantages are also obvious: after all, the strength of the substitute players is not as good as the main force, and the overall cooperation is often not tacit enough. And once he suffers a major defeat with a substitute, Rodgers, as the head coach, will definitely be relentlessly criticized.

Fortunately, Liverpool won the Carabao Cup, and Rodgers naturally did not have to worry about being criticized, and he immediately put all his energy into the league at the weekend, and his team has not won in two rounds, this one ...... He's bound to win!

-

Three days later, on September 26.

Or at Anfield.

This is the last suspension of Lonshit, and Liverpool have their strongest opponent in three rounds:

Villains, Aston Villa.

Whether it is the overall strength, team heritage, past record, or coaching level, Villa absolutely beat Norwich in the last round, but Norwich was able to draw with Liverpool away, but Villa, who is a villain, failed to take away a point.

James Milner opened the scoring with a lightning strike after 64 seconds, Sturridge scored twice and Philippe Coutinho provided two assists as Liverpool held on for a thrilling 3-2 win and ended a two-game winless run for the side.

But Villa didn't let Liverpool win easily, not only did they score two goals, leaving Rodgers on pins and needles for a while, and the corners of his mouth were foaming, but they also got Liverpool's main centre-forward...... Bentek.

The poor Belgian striker, who has been with the Reds for more than two months, not only did he not score a goal, but he also ...... Heroically wounded!
