Chapter 297: Liberty the Enlightened
Speaking of Franck Franck Ribery, since being relegated to the reserves, his training attitude has become more dedicated.
Every day when it gets dark, the staff also finds that the lights are still on on the training ground, and some people are still continuing to practice. Who is it? That's right, it's him Frank. Ribery!
Looking at Ribery with a slight stubbornness in front of him, Qiao Wanxian pointed to the grass under his feet: "Sit down and talk." With that, he sat down on the edge of the training ground.
Ribery was slightly stunned, nodded and sat down, but not as casually as Qiao Wanxian stretched his legs, but sat cross-legged in a regular manner.
"Have you ever wondered what you want to achieve in your football career?"
Ribery was stunned again, the question was so big that he couldn't answer it for a while, and looked at Qiao Liwen in astonishment, his eyes full of confusion.
'I have to say that in your previous football career, your resume was not very successful, until you joined Chelsea you were a little-known character, right?'
Ribery's face turned red with some shame, but it was undeniable that what Qiao Wan said was the truth. Compared to a young genius like Rooney, he is like the most inconspicuous sand in the desert, having mixed with amateur teams and had a difficult life of hunger and cold.
Facing Qiao Wanxian's gentle gaze, Ribery, although he was a peer, felt that there seemed to be a kind of magic in his gaze, which made him speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.
'You're a very talented player and you're going to have a lot of success, that's it. My faith in you is even greater than your confidence in yourself! Sure, you might be confused by my statement, but I have to tell you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and get yourself out of it properly. ”
Of course, I don't just mean you playing alone on the pitch, because Wayne Rooney is a role model and he's always done that. But every player has a way of playing for each player, as far as you go. I want you to feel that joy when you're playing on the pitch with your team-mates. ”
Ribery unconsciously lowered his head, and he didn't refute anything.
"You're a genius. There is no doubt about that, even if all Shijie is criticizing your performance, I will give you the strongest support on the sidelines. However, as a dual manager of your club and country. I understand the extreme panic and lack of self-confidence that exists in your heart. The French team needs you. I can tell you unequivocally, you don't need to have unnecessary thoughts. ”
'Look at Zinedine Zidane, look at Benzema, I hope you have a calm mind to look at your place in the team. There is no such thing as perfection on shijie, but imperfection is not a flaw, it is not a defect, it depends on whether you can adapt to the different positions you are in at each stage of life. ”
"That's right, Joe Cole is the main player in the team now. But who can guarantee that he will always be a regular in the team? Normal training, normal playing. There is no need to deliberately pursue things that do not belong to you at this stage, when you reach that position, what belongs to you will naturally belong to you. ”
Qiao Wanxian sighed, stood up, looked at the Frenchman who was thinking with his head down, and said solemnly: "In the next game, the Champions League against Liverpool, I will send you to start." I hope that this time in the reserves has made a change in your mentality. ”
In the next group training, Qiao Wan handed over the yellow vest representing the main players to Ribery again after half a month.
On September 29th, the defending champion Chelsea wore the traditional blue jersey at Liverpool's home Anfield, and the second round of Group G of the 05-06 Champions League group stage is about to start - Liverpool VS Chelsea!
Benitez is one of the few coaches in football who maintains a good relationship with Qiao Wanxian, and before the game, there was also a rare harmonious scene for Qiao Wanxian.
The debut of Owen and Gerrard, two generations of Liverpool's leading figures, was met with warm applause from the Reds fans in the stadium.
Reds fans were very emotional and helpless, and many of them were already in tears.
Owen had already had this experience, and Gerrard, who was playing for Liverpool for the first time for another team, was immediately infected by the familiar atmosphere of Anfield, and his nose was sore, and he almost cried.
Family!
It's still a familiar home away from home!
"Okay, it's time for the game, welcome everyone to Anfield and follow the Champions League group stage battle, the red and blue battle! Liverpool's starting 11 are as follows, goalkeeper Reina, the backline is a combination of Reese, Hyypia, Carragher, Finnan, and the double midfielders are Makelele and Xavi. Alonso's combination of forward midfielder Colwill is flanked by Spanish players Villa and Luiz. Garcia's combination, and on the front line is this season's new signing, high school striker Crouch. ”
"Chelsea's line-up must already be known to everyone, I will repeat it to you here, goalkeeper Cech, the back four is the most familiar combination of Ramos, Terry, Cannavaro and Grosso, the 'double German' made his debut again, French newcomer Ribery rotated Joe Cole to start, Rooney, Zidane, Owen occupied the remaining three starting places."
'Three minutes into the game, Chelsea dominated the pitch but it wasn't because they were crazy because ...... Rafael Benitez's side opted to drop back on the pitch and put the fabled ...... Iron Bucket Array! ”
The narrator sold a pass, and then smiled strangely: "But...... Based on my understanding of Joe's cannon, in the past games, Zuihou would have died miserably if he put on an iron bucket formation against Chelsea and chose to park two buses in front of the goal! Let's hope Benitez doesn't lose too ugly at home! ”
In the frenzied atmosphere of Anfield's home stadium, the ball found its way to Ribery's feet.
"This Frenchman...... Ribery, yes, his name is Frank. Ribery, a player promoted from the reserve by Joe's cannon, drove the ball forward on the right flank......"
"Since the last league game against Arsenal, Ribery is still in the squad for the first time, and he started on such an important occasion, I have to say that Joe's cannon is indeed an eye-opener! Ahhhh......h Look at the ball! Ribery's beautiful smash is simple and practical, he easily shook off Norwegian left-back Rieser, and he can drive all the way with the ball! ”
Inside the Anfield stadium, there was an immediate burst of boos in an attempt to influence Ribery's performance.
However, Benitez on the sidelines did not feel too nervous, and when he saw Chelsea's early announcement of the starting list in The Times before the game, he used a ballpoint pen to write "Frank. Ribery "has a big exclamation mark drawn on its name!
Like Arsene Wenger, he felt that this was the breakthrough for Chelsea!
"Do you go it alone? Hehe, you can pass the first level of Reese, don't you think about it......" Benitez's smile appeared on his face as if he had succeeded in his plan, and the muscles in his face immediately stiffened.
"Oops! What's the situation? This kid actually chose to pass? ”
Benitez's heart felt as if he had been smashed into a shot put in an instant.
On the field, Ribery observed the movement of his teammates, and instead of going it alone with the ball as those "experts" expected, he chose to pass the ball with one foot!
The ball went straight to the feet of fellow Frenchman Zinedine Zinedine Zidane.
And then...... A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Ribery's mind, as if there was an invisible liliang pushing him forward, and he kept shouting in his heart: run forward, run forward!
Ribery didn't even glance at Zidane, and after completing the pass, he slid diagonally into the Liverpool box.
Sure enough, when he ran to the edge of Liverpool's small penalty area, the magical effect came out, and a white light flashed in front of him.
Here comes the ball!
Zinedine Zidane used his unrivalled individual ability to get away from Alonso's defence and deliver the ball out of the gap with the close interference of Claude Makelele.
Aim for Ribery!
The miraculous pass went just over the heads of the two centre-backs and landed between Franck Ribery and goalkeeper Reina.
"Zinedine Zidane! Unbelievable pass, he made a pass through the entire Liverpool defence, Ribery! He got a chance to go it alone! Single Knife, Single Knife, Single Knife! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chelsea! ”
The Anfield stadium instantly became riotous, and both the Blues fans and the Red Army KOP involuntarily jumped up from their seats.
Will this goal be scored?
It's only been 4 minutes since the start of the game! (To be continued......)
