Chinese The 3-2 win over Arsenal was still very upsetting for the players. After all, the opponent is Arsenal, who knocked themselves out of the Champions League last season, and Liverpool have not been able to get revenge this season, which is a bit unpleasant to say.

However, after this game, the difference between Liverpool and Manchester United has not widened. This season, it was hard to wait for Chelsea's self-destruction, but it was going to be torn apart with Manchester United, which also made the Liverpool players feel really tired.

However, after the game, another incident happened on Liverpool's training ground.

"For the next game, Dirk will play as a player."

Benitez's arrangement is a bit strange, Figo is almost recovered from his injury now, and even if Figo can't play, Garcia is generally the preferred right midfielder, and now, Benitez is ready to put Kuyt on the right wing, which makes everyone a little confused.

"If Dirk goes to the right wing, then who will be the substitute for Diego? Also, if Dirk goes to the right wing, what position will Luis play? ”

"Robbie can continue to be a substitute and when it needs to be rotated, Dirk can also go back to center. Garcia continues to be used as a rotation player, Figo is resting for a while, he is having problems with his fitness and form at the moment, and I would prefer him to stay in good shape and only play on big occasions. ”

In the final stages of last season, Figo's form plummeted. And at the beginning of the season, Figo was not in good shape due to a lack of rest in the offseason. After all, he is not young, and it is no longer realistic to play at a high level in every game. It is precisely because of this that in the right-back position, Liverpool have also begun to prepare other methods.

"But I'm Figo's number one substitute."

Garcia was a little unhappy about this. All this time, he was a substitute for Figo. As a substitute for Figo, he still has no regrets, after all, Figo's level is indeed stronger than him, and football skills can't lie, although he doesn't admire Figo's personality very much, but he has nothing to say about Figo's strength.

But last season he had no complaints. After all, Figo played well, and Figo's age was there, no matter what, Figo couldn't last long, and Garcia still had hope. Besides, he played a lot last season, and this season, after Figo's injury, he also immediately stepped up, he originally thought that the position of right midfielder belonged to him, but who knows, Kuyt is competing with him for the position.

"I don't have any problem with Dirk, I like Dirk very much, however, Dirk's skills are really not as good as mine. Garcia said this in front of Kuyt, and he didn't want to get into trouble by talking about his teammates behind his back, "My offensive awareness is better than Dirk, I can contribute more goals to the team, I can ......"

"Your defense is not as good as Dirk." Benitez interrupted him with a simple remark, "We need a front court that can get back into the defense. Your defensive awareness is not as good as Dirk's, and your motivation is far behind. He's happy to defend and has the physical, stamina and speed to keep his back up to a quality that you don't have. ”

"But I have the ability to attack, and he doesn't either." Garcia retorted.

"Yes, I've thought about it. However, my thinking is this: if Dirk is up front to help us with counter-tacks, then McCone can be more inserted, assisted, organised – you have to admit, McCone did a very good job of that, and you could even say that he was the best attacking player on our right flank, even better than you. He used to put too much energy into defense, which didn't allow him to play enough, but now, we have Dirk, and Dirk can take care of the defense, which can take a lot of the pressure off him, and then we can unleash his attacking ability. "Of course your attack is good, but unfortunately if you play as the main team, we are not as pressing up front as Dirk was. At the same time, you can't fully unleash the power of McConn, and our team needs every player to fully unleash their quality to be able to get better. ”

Benitez's words made Garcia a little stupid, "Then if you say that, wouldn't I just be useless?" Dirk and I were about the same age, and I couldn't wait for him to retire - and even if he didn't, Theo would follow. Won't I ever be able to play the main team? ”

"But you still have a big role to play. You're our most important backup, rotation. Actually, you should understand that last season you were in the rotation, but without you, we wouldn't have won the championship at all, you should understand that, right? You're still the most important part of this team. ”

Garcia was noncommittal. Although he does suffer from not being able to play the main team, he still has feelings for the team. No one wants to spend most of their career on the bench, but no one wants to leave their familiar surroundings and go elsewhere just for a main position.

He was a little unsure of what he thought, but he told himself not to think about it, "It's the middle of the season anyway – it's never too late to wait until the season is over." ”

And his problem is easy to solve, and the other problem is not easy to solve. This time, it was Gerrard who found Benitez.

"Are you sure Robbie can still play in the rotation? I think it's very suspenseful. Gerrard didn't say this in front of Fowler, after all, he didn't say it with respect, but he knew that he couldn't say it if he didn't say it, "I love Robbie, I love watching him play, but...... After returning from China, he was a little unrelenting, thinking about his business every day. I have tried to persuade him several times, but I have not seen him repent, and I hope that you will be able to persuade him a little bit before considering giving him more chances. ”

Fowler has always been doing his own business, which is very clear to the whole team, and Fowler is very smart, and he has always made a lot of money in business, which is also known to everyone, so everyone does not stop him - people are willing to make money, and they can make money, what is there to stop?

When Fowler was in England, he always did real estate business. At first, he was just speculating on land, but later, when the business became bigger, he also opened a training class to explain how to speculate land - a player can be regarded as a rare ruthless person who does this job.

Everyone turned a blind eye to all of this, but before the start of this season, after Liverpool went to China, Fowler came back and couldn't give up. I don't know why, he is bent on expanding his business to China, where he wants to play real estate development.

He also contacted Zhao Yaning, wanting to explain to Zhao Yaning the broad prospects and future of China's real estate, but Zhao Yaning has never cared much about these things, in fact, he heard a bunch of numbers reported by Fowler and felt a headache, so he directly deduced that he didn't know anything about these things, and asked Fowler to contact Zhang Yuan.

But it seems that since then, Fowler's form has gotten worse and worse......

'Do we have any other strikers? Isn't he the only one? And we didn't expect him to be able to make any decisions about the game. If it's just about shooting, he's still a lot more reliable than Derk. ”

Benitez also admitted that he bought Kuyt's deal, which was a mess. Kuyt in the low-level league of the Eredivisie, he can also rely on constant running and excellent physical strength to make up for his lack of technical hardware, but in the Premier League, the amount of running has increased, and the confrontation has increased, his conditions are not so outstanding, but the technical shortcomings have been highlighted, and his problems have naturally appeared.

However, even so, the deal is not considered a loss. Kuyt, after all, is still very likable: a player who is aggressive defensively, runs hard, has excellent physical strength, does not take chances, and has excellent tactical execution, even if he is not a good goalscorer, can definitely find his place in the team. And he did. In the right midfield position, he can activate McCone in the back, so that Milito does not have to worry about others taking chances, and can also relieve Gerrard of defensive tasks, although the strength is not necessarily stronger than Garcia, but he is indeed a more suitable tactical puzzle than Garcia.

His arrival has indeed made Liverpool stronger, and the only regret is that Liverpool does not have a backup striker available now.

"Is it so profitable to run a real estate business in China?" Benitez just shook his head at this, he didn't really care about it at all, he just cared about Fowler's condition, "I hope he can still maintain his form." ”

"It's not difficult to maintain, but his heart is no longer on football, and it will be difficult to further recover his strength."

"Leave that alone, let's talk about it later. Diego has just recovered from his injury, and now he is still not in good shape, and his form can still be recovered. And, if it really doesn't work, let's talk about it in the winter transfer window. ”

After all, there is still a buffer period of ten games, so let's see.

And by this time, Garcia had also returned to the locker room. Looking at his expression, Zhao Yaning also greeted him, "What's the matter, what did the coach say?" ”

Garcia didn't hide it and said everything he said, "I understand what the coach said, but it's just hard to accept." I don't want to play as a substitute, I am a substitute in the national team, and I am still a substitute in the club, am I a substitute for the rest of my life? Speaking of defensive ability, if I had that body and physical strength, I would definitely defend well, my motivation is not bad, but it's just ......"

"I know, I understand." Zhao Yaning patted him. Although this was just Garcia's complaint, it also made Zhao Yaning blush a little: in Liverpool's frontcourt, he was the least active one in defense, although he knew that Garcia didn't mean to say this, but he still had a fever, "Otherwise, in the future, I will be more involved in defense appropriately?" ”

"You are the core of the team, how can there be a reason for an artist to dare to live as a plasterer?"

"There's nothing remarkable about the core. Zizou is at Juventus and Ronaldo is at Barcelona, don't they all have to be involved in defense? Isn't it the scariest thing in the world about players with excellent skills and a good mentality? ”

Having said that, Garcia shook his head, "Let's see." ”

Garcia's mentality, Zhao Yaning understands very well. He also hopes that Garcia can have a game to play. However, no matter how much you appreciate Garcia, Zhao Yaning has to admit that after replacing Kuyt, the strength of the team has indeed improved a lot, which Garcia can't compare.

At home to Bordeaux, Kuyt came on. Gerrard scored from a distance, Carragher headed into the net, and at the last minute of the game, Zhao Yaning made a point, Alonso scored a penalty, and Liverpool won another game 3-0.

Kuyt played his way in the right-back position. Cat flutter Chinese
