Section 385 Pre-War Preparations
u8 update fastest reading network "We played badly in this game! โ
In the dressing room, Carragher was unusually angry. No one else knows, but he knows it - if the next game can't be won, then Liverpool will say goodbye to Gerrard once and for all.
"In this game, Carragher has a big problem with your defense, your defense is out of position......"
"I don't want to talk about defensive misposition right now!" Carragher turned around and interrupted Benitez almost with a roar, "I don't want to hear what you're saying now!" It's your problem that we didn't win! You just want us to lose and then sell Stephen and turn Liverpool into a Spanish club! โ
Carragher's words made the locker room suddenly cold.
"Is this true? Are you really going to sell Stephen? Hyypia looked up, "Is this true?" โ
'The club has that idea, but only if we don't get to the knockout stages of the Champions League. Benitez hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Liverpool need major surgery to get stronger, and to change the lineup, we need enough money. If we don't have enough prize money, then we'll only be able to make money from the transfer fee. โ
"Sold Stephen, bought Spaniard?" Hyypia asked.
"Yes." Benitez nodded, "We need money, Stephen is English, in the Premier League, his nationality has a lot of attraction and can get a lot of money for the club, and the introduction of Espanyol is to continentalize the team's tactics." Since the Heysel tragedy, the tactics of English clubs have fallen behind completely......"
"Don't be here, Thiheisel!" Carragher, who had just been pressed to sit down, stood up abruptly again, "This is still Liverpool's dressing room!" Don't mention Heysel here! โ
"I'm talking about tactical discussions." Benitez said.
"I'm talking about the soul of the team." Carragher replied.
"Alright, Jimmy, the coach has no ill intentions, and you don't get so angry. It's all your teammates here, everyone is just as unhappy when you lose, don't be angry with the people here. Hyypia stopped Carragher's anger, "Coach, I suggest you better not believe Parry's words, even if you do sell Stephen, you can't have enough transfer fees." Parry is a staunch fan of English football, and even if he did sell Stephen, he would only target English players, and it would be impossible to spend 30 million on Spain. โ
"The club gave me a guarantee." Benitez frowned.
Michael has also assured the club that he will play for Liverpool for the rest of his life. When did you really use what you said? Hyypia scoffed, "Don't trust them, don't believe them." Coach, trust me, what you have now is a group of the best players in the world, and you will regret selling anyone. โ
"Yes, coach, we can't do that." Alonso also stood up, "Stephen is a good player, he is our leader, he is the spiritual pillar of the team and the tactical strength of the team. Head, if we sell him, we won't be able to find a player who is this good. โ
"That's right." Zhao Yaning also opened his mouth, "Continental football is very good, but what tactics are not played by people?" Even Real Madrid has the intention of introducing Stephen, he is the best player, we met, it is our honor, how can we say that we can sell it? โ
"That's enough, let's not talk about it, okay!" Gerrard finally spoke, "Coach, sell my prerequisites, is it to lose the next game, right?" โ
Benitez hesitated, but nodded.
"Does anyone here want me to go?" Gerald swept around as well.
"Nope!" Carragher immediately answered.
"Wouldn't it be simpler, then? I hope everybody, the last game, wins. Gerrard looked at everyone, "I think you should understand that this is more important to me than anything else. I hope that you will be able to help me stay as well. โ
Then he turned his head and said, "Coach, I know you don't like the English style of play. But I also hope that at least you can give me a season and see how my skills are, if I really can't meet your needs, and then say keep me, or sell me, okay? โ
Benitez didn't speak this time, just nodded slightly.
"Jimmy, don't be angry anymore. It's good to have enthusiasm, but right now, we don't need passion. In the next game, we will find a way to win and then finish the season well. I'm sure I'll stay here. Because I believe that my level can bring us victory, and it is enough to bring glory to Liverpool. โโโ
After the Champions League competition, Liverpool are facing difficulties in the Champions League. And in the league, they also have a strong rival.
In the fifteenth round of the league, Liverpool's game is at home against Arsenal.
Both teams are now in the doldrums. Liverpool suffered two consecutive defeats, the Champions League was pushed into a desperate situation, and they were suppressed by Everton in the league and were chased by Manchester United all the way. And Arsenal's last seven league games, two wins, four draws and one loss, are also in trouble, being chased by Chelsea all the way, and now the points are the same as Chelsea, relying on the advantage of goal difference, only to suppress Chelsea.
Arsenal were also unhappy in the Champions League in midweek, with only one draw against PSV Eindhoven and Arsene Wenger complaining after the game.
Arsenal are now in a similar situation as Liverpool. A while ago, Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Campbell and Reyes were all injured, which made Arsenal not play very well.
And in this game, the injuries of Henry, Campbell and Reyes have healed. However, Bergkamp is still injured and will not be available for this game.
Before the game, Wenger was interviewed, and he also fired at Liverpool intentionally or unintentionally, "I'm really worried, I'm worried that after this winter, Gerrard will join Chelsea, so that Chelsea will become a team that can compete with Arsenal." โ
In this way, on the one hand, it will hurt Liverpool and Gerrard, and on the other hand, it will also damage Chelsea's poor strength, which naturally has caused a lot of repercussions. Against Liverpool, Arsenal still wanted to say a few words to show their strength.
And what's more, there is still a dispute between the two sides: Zhao Yaning has now scored 11 goals, tied Henry in the scorer list, and ranked first by virtue of his small number of appearances.
This also made the Gunners very dissatisfied: Zhao Yaning's 11 goals, one penalty, four free kicks, only six sports goals, and most of them were brushed by weak teams. Henry's 11 goals, but all of them were real sports goals.
"Your players are all brushing goals, playing set-pieces, what kind of ability is it?" This is the biggest complaint from Arsenal fans.
"Who told Thierry Henry not to take a free-kick? If you don't have the ability, why didn't he come a few times? Liverpool fans replied so simply.
But although there was a lot of noise outside, Liverpool did not react to the game, and they were preparing for the game at this time, ignoring Arsenal.
'There's no doubt that Arsenal are the best team in the whole league. Before the game, Benitez re-planned their tactics, "From the lineup to the tactics, this is a very mature team. Unlike Chelsea, who rely on the strength of their stars, a large part of their victory is due to tactics. โ
"You're not going to make us rationally choose to give up the game, are you?" Carragher asked.
"No, of course not. If the opponent's star is too strong, I will give up because you really can't play. But there is a tactical element, then that is my task, and we just have to defeat them. โ
Benitez made the distribution, "In this game, we played three midfielders. โ
"Let Joey retreat?" Gerald asked.
"Nope. He pulled the side. Milito tops to the front, and Colwill is on the left. Benitez replied.
In this game, Garcia was injured and could not play, and Liverpool's tactics in the previous games had to be reversed. Hamann and Milito, on the other hand, recovered from their injuries in time and were able to play in the game.
Milito is in front, Zhao Yaning and Colwill are on both sides, so that means that there is no one in the midfield to play in the midfield......
'Hamann as a central midfielder, Steven Gerrard and Marcos Alonso, as well as central midfielder. Benitez immediately made the next step.
"Three backs?" This penalty made Zhao Yaning a little surprised.
"It's a pair of mid-midfielders. In addition to taking on certain defensive tasks, the two of them also have to constantly insert and chase back, and Arsenal's attacks will always be launched in the two ribs, so they can be blocked by supplementing in the defensive third. Their defence is good at protecting the ribs, but not enough at the top of the box, so what we need is to attack here......"
'We're talking about Arsenal.' Carragher asked, "You said them as if it were easy. โ
'I said it, the quality of the players, maybe we can't. But on the tactical side, I'm sure we're not going to lose! โโโ
"Long time no see...... What's your name? โ
In the KOP stands, Bei Bei looked at the uncle in front of him a little depressed. She found that she looked really featureless, she still remembered his name, but he was forgotten so quickly, "Beibei, call me Beibei." โ
"Oh, babe...... Remember to wear your jersey the next time you watch a game. Oliver said, "Hurry up and cheer for us, this game must beat Arsenal back!" โ
"Beat Arsenal...... It's hard. Haven't you lost two in a row? โ
"It's us, don't talk about you. You're in the KOP stands. Oliver corrected her again, "And what if they're strong?" Aren't we strong? It was a rare time for us to have a full squad and it was Stephen's first time playing at Anfield after a two-month break. โ
"You care about him." Bei Bei replied, "You don't blame him for being injured for two months?" Otherwise, you might even be able to win the championship. โ
"Koppit never blames the players for this kind of thing, as long as the players play seriously, we will be grateful to them."
This made Bei Bei laugh, "Look, he's really right......"
What reason do such fans have not to play well? ฯยท u(8) Update the fastest reading network
