Chapter 270: A different Sebastian

The next day, Gao Qi left early in the morning and flew back to China. He still has a lot to do at home and he's still running other players to play abroad.

When Gao Qi left, Dongfang Chen got up, and after a brief breakfast, he drove to the Vorster training base, where the Birmingham team resumed training today.

This week, the Birmingham team is playing once a week, just preparing for the weekend's games.

At the weekend, Birmingham City travel to Anfield to face the Reds against Liverpool, a tough game.

The Reds Liverpool team is not as brilliant as before, and now the Reds Liverpool has begun to decline, the first two seasons Liverpool team is actually still good, fourth once, second in the league once, very strong,

However, the strength of the Liverpool team has declined significantly this season, the main full-back Arbeloa has left Liverpool, and the core of the midfield, Xavi Alonso, has also left Liverpool and gone to Real Madrid, and the Liverpool team has really not done much in terms of recruitment.

So this season has been a very difficult season for Liverpool, who are now seventh in the league, which is not at all in line with their reputation for the traditional top four of the Premier League.

And this season, the Premier League has a lot of spoilers Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Everton and Birmingham, and under the impact of these teams, it will be very difficult for Liverpool to keep their top four places.

However, in such a situation, the Liverpool team is still a very difficult bone to gnaw.

The strength of the Liverpool team is still there, and no team can underestimate them, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.

Birmingham City manager Michael McLeish is clearly aware of this, and he has always stressed it throughout the week in training that this game must be played as if it were a final.

Because after this round of matches, the Premier League will enter a short off-season, the international break is coming, this game players can not hold back, do not have to think too much, do not have to think about the future games, this game can play at full strength.

Birmingham don't have a lot of players in the squad and Liverpool do, which is very good news for Birmingham.

McLeish said in training: 'Anfield is a very bad pitch and the visitors are under a lot of pressure and I want you to forget about that and give it your all, remember that you are third in the league and you are not afraid of any opponent. ”

Yes, McLeish is taking the pressure off the team and giving the Birmingham players confidence to believe in themselves.

It can be seen that McLeish is very serious about this game.

Speaking to the media before the game, McLeish said: "Liverpool are a very strong team, they are very scary, but we will not give up on the pursuit of victory, which is what we want. ”

McLeish added: "Our team is not weak, we are also strong, and now our ranking shows that, we have the ability to win more, this game, why don't we go for the win?" ”

McLeish added: "Liverpool have a lot of big players in the squad, like Fernando Torres, he's very good and very strong. But our defenders are not bad and we are confident that we can watch him. ”

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres said: "Birmingham may have quality but it's in attack, and in defence, they're not particularly good and I'm confident of beating them. ”

Fernando Torres added: "The only one in the Birmingham squad who can get our attention is Dongfang Chen, the others, we don't think he will have any impact on us. ”

Fernando Torres's words have made it clear that the quality of the Birmingham team is actually like that, and it will not cause any problems for the Liverpool team at all.

Speaking to reporters, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said: "Birmingham's table this season has indeed exceeded many of our expectations, but the quality of the Birmingham team is not as strong as they are in the current table, and we are confident to beat them." ”

Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benitez said in an interview with reporters: "This season has just begun, and it is still in a chaotic period, many teams have not yet found their proper form and position, but I don't think there is a rush now, we have the quality." ”

Benitez added: "I'm very confident in this game, Birmingham are a team with characteristics and they are better than the average promoted team, but if they want to qualify for Europe, this season is unlikely, they should be around 10th. ”

Benitez's words made many people think that it was reasonable, although many more people thought that Benitez was simply too high for the Birmingham team.

Of course, the Birminghames think Benitez is simply belittling them, and now that they are above Liverpool, what qualifications do you have to say that?

Birmingham's Sebastian Larsson said: "Liverpool should now think about how they can get more points, otherwise we will see Liverpool in the Premier League next season. ”

Sebastian Larsson added: "Do Liverpool still think they are the former Liverpool team? They had been ousted from their thrones by some old man. What are you still angry about now? ”

Well, Sebastian Larsson's big mouth suddenly annoyed the Liverpudlians, Liverpool fans, Liverpool team celebrities, and Liverpool players began to lash out at Sebastian Larsson wildly.

As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't slap them in the face, and scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings.

Sebastian Larsson only exposes other people's shortcomings, and it is no wonder that the Liverpool crowd attacked him, and the team Sebastian Larsson attacked wildly, and even some Liverpool fans said that if Sebastian Larsson dared to come to Liverpool, they must kill Sebastian Larsson, so that Sebastian Larsson regretted coming to this world.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez said: "It's not what a player should say, he's making enemies of the whole Liverpool, and when he says this, he has to be prepared to face the anger of the whole Liverpool." ”

Benitez added: "In this game, we will teach this arrogant brat a hard lesson and let him know how good it is to recruit our Liverpool team. ”

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was even more eager to skin Sebastian Larsson, and he said viciously: "In this game, Larsson should protect himself, otherwise he should go straight to the hospital after this game." ”

Comrade Gerrard is a person who rarely says such things, and it can be seen from here that Sebastian Larsson's words really stung the Liverpool team deeply and made the Liverpudlian people hate it.

Liverpool fans are clamoring for a "surprise" for Sebastian Larsson in this game.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly unnoticed game would suddenly attract so much attention, and now a lot of people can't wait to see the game begin, and they all want to see how the Liverpudlians deal with Sebastian Larsson.

The incident also made more people reacquaint themselves with the baby-faced Sebastian Larson, and no one thought that Sebastian Larsson would say such a thing, and he would be a big mouth.

Sebastian Larsson, in a later interview, did not take the Liverpudlian's threats and sarcastic curses to heart.

Sebastian Larsson said: "I'm not worried at all, I'm going to Liverpool to win and no one can stop me from wanting to win. I'm going to let all Liverpudlians know that I, Sebastian Larsson, are not afraid of any challenge and that I can beat a single one. ”

McLeish didn't expect Sebastian Larsson to do something like this. However, now that it has happened, McLeish does not blame Sebastian Larson, he is still on Sebastian Larson's side.

McLeish said: "I also think this game will be won by our Birmingham team, Liverpool team is really not as good as before, although they are still a team that has always been admirable, but they can't live in the past, they have to rely on themselves now, otherwise Liverpool will sink completely. Of course, I was hoping to push Liverpool because I desperately needed this win. ”

After McLeish's words came out, it also caused a lot of Liverpool people to be dissatisfied, and they were crazy to criticize McLeish, and now the Birmingham team is a very unpopular team for the Liverpool team, and the Liverpudlian people are holding their breath in their hearts, and they want to teach the Birmingham team a hard lesson, so that they know that they know that the Liverpool team is powerful.

Dongfang Chen did not participate in this matter, in fact, Dongfang Chen wanted to participate in it, he wanted to help his good friend Sebastian Larsson. However, both the club and head coach McLeish ordered Dongfang Chen not to be involved in this matter.

Now they all hope that everyone will take their eyes off Dongfang Chen and pay attention to other things, which will be beneficial to Dongfang Chen and the Birmingham team, a great benefit.

Therefore, at this time, McLeish will support Sebastian Larsson, in fact, he is attracting the attention of the Liverpudlian people, relieving pressure on Dongfang Chen, and creating opportunities.

Dongfang Chen can't even get involved if he wants to, Sebastian Larsson also knows the plans of the club and McLeish, which is why this guy is so happy and hilarious.

Liverpool, for their part, now hate Birmingham City, and before the game, Benitez gave the Liverpool players a death order that they must win this game.

In fact, there is no need for Benitez to strictly order, the players of the Liverpool team themselves will not let go of the Birmingham team, they are full of fighting spirit in their hearts, they just want to kill the Birmingham team, let the Birmingham people know what the consequences of provoking their Liverpool team are?

Originally, this game was not very popular, but because of this incident, the attention of this game has increased a lot, and originally Sky Sports did not plan to broadcast this game, but now they have decided to broadcast this game.
