Chapter 27: Cold Moscow
However, Charlton's team with Murphy has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the real distance has caused Charlton to fall at the feet of an angry Liverpool again.
When the full-time whistle blew, the score of 31 was impressively presented in front of everyone. In the second half, Liverpool, who sent almost all the main forces, finally taught Charlton Athletic a good lesson with a strong attack, in which Owen was lucky to rebel for offside twice and scored two goals.
Although Liverpool won the game, Charlton's captain, former Liverpool player Murphy, was not forgotten by the team's defeat. Everyone knows that if Charlton didn't have Murphy, I'm afraid the score on the field would not be 31, even if it was 50.
When sending sincere wishes to Murphy again, all Liverpool fans wondered if the club's sale of Murphy was really worth it and a good deal.
But no matter what the fans think, Murphy has become Charlton Athletic's player by this time, and Murphy has also become a passerby for Liverpool. Lao Bei doesn't care what the fans will think in their hearts, because at this time, Lao Bei has already led all the Liverpool players on a flight to Moscow, ready to challenge Spartak Moscow away.
Spartak Moscow is an absolute strong team in Russia, Spartak Moscow is equivalent to Valencia in La Liga, although it is very difficult to win the championship, you must know that the current domestic championship in Russia is generally booked by the 6th Army of the Central Army of Moscow and Dynamo Moscow, just like the Champions Cup of La Liga Barcelona and Real Madrid are booked. If other teams want to win the championship, they basically need to play hard, but also add a lot of luck.
But this does not mean that the strength of Spartak Moscow is not very good, the strength of Spartak Moscow is definitely very strong, and it has sent countless talents to the national team.
Basically, the members of the Russian national team are selected and assembled from Spartak Moscow, as well as players from the 6th Army of the Central Moscow Army and Dynamo Moscow. The situation is similar to that of the Spanish national team, where the vast majority of the main players are formed from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
These are not things that Lao Bei is worried about, no matter how strong Spartak Moscow is, is it stronger than Liverpool. At this time, the only thing that worries Lao Bei is the harsh climate of Russia.
You must know that the home stadium of Spartak Moscow is located in Moscow, the capital of Russia, although it is already summer, but the temperature in Moscow at this time is still below 15 degrees. Indeed, according to the geographical location of Russia, even in summer, the warmer places are only in the southern and western regions of Russia.
"Hey, that's a problem!" When Lao Bei led the Liverpool players off the plane, the cold wind rushed towards him, which suddenly made Lao Bei shiver.
Looked at it as if it was myself. Liverpool players are not very well adapted to this cold climate. Lao Bei couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
Although I have long known to come to Moscow to play away games. The cold climate is the greatest enemy. But what you know is what you know. When the day really comes. Lao Bei understood. The cold climate will give itself and the team. What a lot of trouble it causes.
Of course. It's not that everyone in the Liverpool team is uncomfortable. At least Titov didn't have anything to do. Titov, a native of Moscow, when he returned to Moscow. Feel the cold climate. I felt very comfortable all of a sudden. For Titov. The humid island climate of the UK. On the contrary, not accustomed.
After feeling the severe cold period that is unique to Moscow. Old Bethon brought the Liverpool players to the Downland Hotel. An order was issued prohibiting private travelers.
Lao Bei didn't want to. Own players came to Moscow. I want to think about life in Moscow. What to do in case you get sick. It's better to stay honestly in a soft hotel.
Of course. Being sick is not Lao Bei's biggest concern. Lao Bei's biggest fear is that the Liverpool players are not familiar with the place in Moscow. What you can offend is not just the people of the earth. Especially gangsters. That's a big problem.
You must know that the Russian gangs are one of the five major gangs in the world, don't look at the Mexican gangs are very rampant, and they will tie up whoever they say. The American mafia is very arrogant, the election congressman is noble, and the Japanese Yakuza alliance is very strong, becoming the world's first legal large-scale gangster alliance. The Italian mafia is very strong, controlling nearly one-third of Italy's defense force and huge economic revenues. But this is nothing, in Lao Bei's heart, the Moscow gangsters are the number one in the world.
You must know that the Russian gangsters directly control one-tenth of Russia's territory, one-tenth of a country's territory, and one-tenth of Russia, the world's largest country, and its chassis can be imagined, even bigger than Spain.
And the fact that 25 percent of Russia's GDP comes from the "black economy" shows that many Russian government officials are also linked to gangsters.
Russian gangsters can't afford to mess with, this Lao Bei
Chu, don't look at Liverpool's European giants, the players are all world-class balls and provoked the terrifying Russian gangsters, maybe the Russian gangsters will drive tanks to bombard the hotels ordered by Liverpool.
This is not an impossible thing, after all, many of the Russian gangsters are retired soldiers, and some are even composed of the army, in Russia, where arms control is not strict, and even the Russian government has no binding force on the army in remote areas, the Russian gangsters are absolutely terrifying.
Therefore, Lao Bei's attitude is very resolute, that is, he asks the Liverpool players to stay in the hotel honestly, and is not allowed to experience the Russian nightlife, so as not to be called up by the police to go to a remote place to identify the body when he goes to bed in the middle of the night.
After giving the order, Lao Bei stayed quietly in his room and began to study the tactics of tomorrow's game. Although Liverpool is strong and has many opponents, this does not mean that Liverpool can despise their opponents, in the field of football, there is no absolute strong, and upsets are frequent, of course, Lao Bei does not want this kind of thing to be encountered by himself.
The next day, Lao Bei led the Liverpool players to the Ruzhniki Stadium, the home of Spartak Moscow, and began adaptive training.
However, the results of the training made Lao Bei very dissatisfied, the situation was very bad, the cold climate made the Liverpool players stiff hands and feet, and even Liverpool's proud counterattack was also due to the weather and the problem of the field lawn, and they also ran.
Of course, Titov, a native of Moscow, has nothing to do, and adaptive training, for Titov, is simply play. No, the vigor and excitement that Titov was running on the field at this time, even Lao Bei, who was standing on the sidelines, could feel it.
Looking at the excited Titov, Old Berton decided that in the afternoon game, let Titov become the organizational core of Liverpool, no way, Liverpool up and down, just Titov This guy is in the best state in this cold climate, don't let Titov be the organizational core, who else will do it. Anyway, Titov is very much in Spartak Moscow, the organizational core of the team, and I believe that such a task is not very new to Titov.
"Shit, I hate it, I hate the weather, I hate the lawn, I even hate everything here." When Owen received George's pass and was about to shake off Reese who was blocking in front of him, I don't know if it was because of the cold weather and stiff muscles, or because of the poor quality of the field, Owen fell down inexplicably, so that Reese, who was in charge of guarding Owen, snatched the ball with a smile on his face.
"Forget it, Michael, you're not alone, look at our whole team, except for that livestock, who has the heart to play in this kind of weather and under the field." Seeing Owen with an unhappy face, George couldn't help but comfort him. In fact, George was also very unhappy at this time, after all, the cold weather in Russia and the inferior lawn at Spartak Moscow's home stadium were not only for Owen alone, George also suffered a lot.
But fortunately, compared with Owen, George's body is very strong, and his ability to grab points is not bad, which also makes George somewhat confident that in the afternoon game, it will bring some trouble to Spartak Moscow.
George is not bad, but for a smart forward like Irving, Spartak Moscow's home environment and bitter cold weather are simply Irving's nemesis.
In this case, Owen's characteristics and flexibility cannot be displayed at all, coupled with Owen's thin body, he definitely does not have an advantage in physical collisions.
In this case, Liverpool's golden boy simply can't wield his own power, it can be said that it is useless. Lao Bei naturally saw this situation, seeing Owen who fell, Lao Bei decided to let George and Husky as strikers in the afternoon game, hoping to rely on the strong bodies and ability of the two to bring goals to Liverpool.
For the Liverpool players, who have long been accustomed to the soft and humid climate, the cold weather in Russia is indeed a big problem, and the constant training and sports are not bad, or at least they will feel a little warm. But it must come down, a cold wind blows, and the cold Liverpool players shiver all over.
Seeing this situation, Lao Bei couldn't help it, and after discussing it with assistant coach Thompson, he ended the adaptive training.
After all, the Liverpool players have had a good training time to adapt, and apart from Titov, the rest of the players have been unable to find the form to play in such a cold climate. Since this is the case, what is the point of continuing to train, at this time, Lao Bei only expects that this game will not be won, it is best to draw with the opponent and shake hands and make peace.
The draw ended, I believe the fans should also be satisfied, after all, in this damn weather, even if you want to draw, it is very difficult. Tightening his coat, Lao Bei thought secretly.
