Chapter 131 The Test with Gerrard
Although Jack Don's performance at the signing ceremony made many Liverpool loyal media dissatisfied, they didn't do anything. Generally speaking, they satirized Jack Don's performance and felt that he was too arrogant. If it doesn't work, question Benitez's choice, thinking that Benitez has brought trouble to Liverpool.
These reports are a little teeky. After all, Don Jack is not the focus of England, not even the focus of Liverpool. Liverpool fans only know that the team has a black-haired and yellow-skinned oriental boy, and this boy is very arrogant and seems to boast that he will surpass Owen.
And they don't know exactly what the boy's strength is and so on.
In a big team like Liverpool, a player of more than 10 million euros is also an ordinary player.
Jack Don also thinks it's nothing. He doesn't pay attention to these at all.
After the signing ceremony, the whole team came to the club the next day. This was the day when the Liverpool team gathered. Everyone came back, including Michael, who had been making a transfer. Owen, and Steven, the soul core of the team. Gerrard.
Gerrard's appearance is very ordinary, but the smile on his face makes people feel very kind. Jack Don has a good impression of him, but due to his unfamiliar relationship, he did not take the initiative to know him. Instead, Gerrard took the initiative to say a few words to him, asked him how he was doing in Liverpool, and cared about Don Jack's life. He behaved like a big brother, which made Don Jack feel good.
Gerrard feels just ordinary about this brunette boy who has just come to the team. He has heard of this guy's deeds in the Bundesliga, but that's just a Bundesliga, isn't it?
And, in Gerrard's opinion, this boy is a little arrogant, and maybe he will be a little out of line, right?
After all, he has heard about what happened at the signing ceremony yesterday. Gerrard was even worried about Don Jack. After all, he offended Michael in Liverpool. Owen is really not a good choice. The latter is very popular among the fans. Of course, these seem to have nothing to do with the team's internal relations, but Owen has offended Owen for so many years in Liverpool, and has offended half of the Liverpool players, which is really...
However, Gerald himself has no feelings, because he thinks Don Jack is very sincere, and speaking of which, he and Owen are just teammates in Liverpool, that's all.
Even last year, there were some conflicts between the two, that is, for the captain's armband. At that time, he was not the captain of Liverpool. Head coach Hollior asked him to be the captain, and Gerrard took over. Both the team and his team thought that Gerrard was the captain. One was Gerard's little At that time, he was a loyal fan of Liverpool and also a star cultivated by Liverpool's youth training system. This background is very important for a team. Second, Gerrard is the core of the team's midfield and is also recognized as the best performer in the team.
After so many years of performance in Liverpool, Gerrard has been recognized by everyone.
But that's it, but Owen is not satisfied. He feels that he also has the ability to become the captain. Maybe he wants to transfer to do with this. As the golden boy of the whole of England, he lowered Gerard's head in the team. He was a little dissatisfied.
The two had a quarrel at that time, that is to say, the relationship between Owen and Gerrard was not very good. Don Jack didn't know this. He only knew that after he came to the club, he found that he was not very popular, at least no strange player took the initiative to talk to him. Of course, except for Gerrard.
Only Baroche, Haipia and Cicero are standing next to Don Jack. The first two and Jack Don have known each other for a long time, and Cicero is also a newcomer, and he is also a striker like Jack Don. More importantly, Jack Don is good at French, and Cicero is also not familiar with English. The two stood together and kept chatting. We had a good chat.
It's really rare to find someone who can communicate in Liverpool...
※※※
When the head coach Benitez came to the court, Don Jack and Cise, who quickly stood aside and chatted, became the focus. They thought that only the two of them were newcomers to the team now. Many teammates had a bad impression of Jack Don, but after all, they just met and there was no contradiction between them. Everyone gave them a smile. Some also chatted with Don Jack.
However, Michael. Owen is an exception.
The reputation of this English golden boy in Liverpool can be said to have reached its peak. He has always thought that in Liverpool, he is the NO.1 of the whole team, but what Don Jack said in front of reporters yesterday seemed to have not to consider himself at all, but aimed at himself, which made Owen feel very embarrassed.
So, he didn't say a word to Jack Don from beginning to end.
So much so that Cise standing next to him also suffered, and Owen also ignored Cise. As a result, the latter touched the back of his head awkwardly. He didn't celebrate why Owen was a little targeted at him, or did this guy have this character?
Give a sway to the newcomer?
Well, no matter what the reason is, it was very unpleasant for everyone to gather this time. Many people in the team were embarrassed to talk to Don Jack and Cise when they saw Owen's appearance, which made the atmosphere in the team very embarrassing. Benitez frowned when he saw this, and he regretted retaining Owen.
Like this kind of world-class star, there is no strength, but as a striker, Owen is not as irreplaceable as Gerrard. It's just a goal. Cise is the top scorer in Ligue 1, and Don Jack's performance of scoring goals in every game in Schalke 04 is even more shocking. The two of them are in What if there is less Owen?
However, Owen's influence is unmatched by the first two. With Owen in the team, it plays a great role in stabilizing people's hearts.
The first collection was like this, and then Benitez didn't care. Recently, he had too many things to do. The players just did some warm-up exercises under the guidance of the assistant coach and slowly recovered the state after the month's holiday.
Kross. Brooke is the first assistant coach of Benitez. He is 43 years old and has long been an old man of the team. Fifteen years ago, Brooke was the assistant coach of the Liverpool youth team and a professional physical trainer of Liverpool. Later, he was promoted to the first team to the coaching staff.
Maybe in a few years, Brooke will be able to lead a team independently.
After Benitez left, Brooke took over the training work. The other players are good, because they are all Liverpool players last season. Brooke already knows their situation and ability very well. If he wants to do the next work, he will first get to know the two new guys in the team.
One is Don Jack and the other is Cise.
These two are all strikers, one is the Bundesliga and the other is Ligue 1. The two are standing together now, which makes Brooke a little excited about this year's league format. Although Liverpool has not made any big deal at all, the introduction of these two young people will definitely strengthen the team's strength, right?
So Brooke found the two and talked to them separately.
The process of conversation is to understand what the two are good at. Brooke arranges training for them in a targeted way, and silently silences their real strength during the training.
Cisse's characteristics are obvious, that is, speed. The previous head coach Auxerre's evaluation of him was: "Cisse is good at speed, speed, faster speed, and of course, scoring goals." This is what the head coach of Auxerre said in an interview with reporters. When talking to Brooke, Cisse said the same thing.
Don Jack, on the contrary, doesn't think his speed will be as fast as Cise, but he is better at long-range shooting!
"Wor-range shot!"
Hearing this, Brooke was a little surprised. What he knew was that the young man's physical fitness was very good. In fact, Benitez also looked at this. He wanted to replace Husky with Don Jack. After all, the latter would not score goals, but the young man's scoring efficiency was very high.
With the tactical effect and scoring efficiency, such a player is really liked by every head coach.
When he heard the black-haired boy in front of him say that he was best at long-range shooting, Brooke was also very interested. He immediately told everyone the news with a smile. Why does he behave like this? Because Chelsea has Lampard and Liverpool has Gerrard, which is known all over England and the world. What are Gerard and Lampard good at?
From a tactical point of view, these two people are 'Superman' running all over the field, which is undoubtedly the core of the iron guard in the midfield. From an offensive point of view, both of them are famous for their long-range shots.
Since this new boy is so confident that he is good at long-range shooting, let him compete with Gerrard, which can also add some vitality to the team, right?
Another reason is that Brooke also heard about what happened yesterday. He felt that the black-haired boy was too sharp and asked him to compare with Gerald, who could also suppress his limelight and let him know the gap between him and the top players, which is good for the Liverpool team and the future development of this boy. It's beneficial.
These are just thinking about it. In fact, everyone is interested in the game. The spirit of gossip is everywhere, and it's better to have fun than nothing. By the way, it's really good to let Gerald teach this 'arrogant' boy a lesson.
So, when it was almost noon on this day, the scattered free training players gathered together again and came to the left goal of the main training ground and formed a circle to prepare to see the next game.
