Chapter 173 utilitarian football 1

On August 23, Liverpool Club held a formal signing ceremony for Garcia.

At the signing ceremony, many media were in harmony and the atmosphere was very good, but the news only became a foil the next day, but the English media were concerned about the small groups in the Liverpool team. Many 'pure English media' began to satirize Benitez's impurity and speculated that Liverpool would have a new 'Spanish Gang'.

The head of it is The Sun. In the report, they said: "Jerard and Jack, who is new to the team. Li's performance was perfect, but the Spaniard (Benitez) did not give up reclaiming his cronies because of the existence of the two. In the past half month, Benitez has introduced three fellow villagers: first Real Madrid midfielder Núñez, who was part of Owen's transfer, then Alonso of the Royal Society, and finally was thrown by Barcelona. Abandoned Louis. Garcia. In addition to the previously joined defender Josemi, there are as many as four Spanish foreign aids from Liverpool.

Such a report is somewhat ordinary, but it leaves room for fans and readers to imagine. Will the sudden introduction of four Spanish foreign aids have a serious impact on Liverpool's internal relations?

It's really possible.

However, Don Jack knows that there is no such thing. These four players are good, but the contradictions that affect the team are still a little too much, and several people have not set up any so-called 'Spanish gang'. Alonso has always been with him these days, and he knows it very well.

That night, Liverpool held a press conference on the matter, and Don Jack also attended.

In an interview with reporters, Jack Don smiled and said, "At present, the team is preparing for the game. We have a clear goal. The relationship in the locker room is very good. We will work together to rush to the championship without any other speculation."

Such a statement is supported by Liverpool's loyal reporters.

And Benitez defended his transfer policy: "I knew the situation of these (Spanish) players when I was coaching in Valencia. I know what they can bring to the team. For example, Garcia is an offensive player who is good at multiple positions, and his presence will greatly enrich us. The means of attack. Alonso can play as a midfielder. His speed is average, but his mind is very clear. Besides, they are all professional players, and I believe they will soon integrate into the team.

This sentence made reporters discuss it from another angle. They felt that Liverpool had lost their local blood. The media arranged the main lineup of the future Red Army and found that there were only two English players, Gerrard and Kalach.

However, Benitez still has his own reasons: "What's wrong with internationalization? As long as the team can win with excellent performance.

This statement makes sense. At least Liverpool fans feel okay. They can accept the internationalization of the team. Of course, the premise is that the team's performance is good.

At present, after two rounds of the league, Liverpool's two wins are second only to Arsenal in the league. This result makes fans have nothing to say, because the reason why they are in second place is that Arsenal has won two big wins, one more goal difference than Liverpool.

But these reports still have had some impact on the Liverpool team. For example, some players in the team began to speak English. Spanish, among which, the main reason is that Benitez's coaching staff is mostly composed of Spaniards. As a result, a lot of work in the team has been in Spanish recently. Fortunately, the media does not report it. After the report, the English players in the Liverpool team feel bad. After all, Liverpool is English. Lan's team.,

Of course, Don Jack doesn't care about this, because he doesn't speak Spanish at all, which can also make him learn English better.

This real and factual disturbance is much bigger than the random speculation of the media.

In the past two days, even Benitez has been a headache, but this is the real situation, because some players have a bad relationship with the coaches of the coaching staff, even Jamie, who has always been thorny. Carragher also shouted 'Reme. With the slogan of "Coach", he dares not target Benitez, but he has nothing to say about the coaches of the coaching staff. As the team's big star, his status is much higher than that of the coaching staff.

Even if you don't listen to the coaching staff in training, even Benitez has nothing to say, because Jamie. Carragher's words "his level may not be as high as mine" can make many people speechless.

Benitez has a headache!

Benitez's own English level can only be said to be fluent, and some of the Spanish coaches in the coaching staff can't understand English at all. As for the four Spanish players, Josemi and Garcia can speak some English, but even if they usually assign tasks, the obstacles to using English are still It's very big, and translation is not omnipotent.

In desperation, in order to balance the hearts of other players in the team, Benitez hired an English teacher in the club to help the new players and the Spanish-dominated coaching staff master English as soon as possible, so as to work in English instead of Spanish.

This benefit is also convenient for Don Jack.

Jack Don is also one of the members who can't speak English. After more than a month in England, he can only barely do some simple conversations with others. With an English teacher studying with others, it will be different, which will definitely speed up his learning speed.

Although he can also hire a teacher himself, it's better to be free than to spend money by himself...

Just as the media reporters were noisy and all kinds of interesting things in the Liverpool team, two days have passed. August 26th is the third round of the Premier League. It's time for Liverpool's game.

The third round of the Premier League was originally held on August 25, that is, yesterday. The matches of other teams have ended, while the matches between Liverpool and Manchester United have been postponed to the next day. This may be the repeated work of the Football Association to balance the intensive broadcast of the Premier League.

Other teams have finished the game, playing one more game than Liverpool, and the points will naturally be more. With a 3-1 victory over Blackburn, Arsenal is firmly at the top of the league, and the second is the Blues Chelsea, who has won three games in a row.

Liverpool played one less game, and six points were squeezed into the fifth position. As for Manchester United... The top ten can no longer find the Red Devils. Due to the loss to Chelsea in the first round, Manchester United, which played one game, only accumulated three points and ranked fourth from the bottom of the league.

Among them, the most concerned is the match between Arsenal and Blackburn.

Arsenal is the defending champion of the Premier League. Their demand for winning the championship is very high, and there is no doubt that Blackburn is far away. This is a very ordinary match. There is nothing to see if the strong team wins the weak team, but the significance of the game is not there.

After this victory over Portsmouth, coupled with last season's record, Arsenal has been unbeaten for 42 consecutive rounds in the league. Previously, the record holder of England's top league was Nottingham Forest. They were also unbeaten in 42 rounds, but Arsenal's offensive ability was obviously much stronger. In these 42 rounds of the league, Arsenal scored 92 goals and conceded 31 goals, while Nottingham Forest only scored 58 goals and only conceded 22 goals. Compared with the number of goals conceded, Ding Hanlin is better, but compared with the goal, the two teams are not comparable at all.

Arsenal set a historical record with its strong attack.

This is worth celebrating, but the only team celebrating is Arsenal. Liverpool and Manchester United have not played yet. Their attitude is 'It has nothing to do with me'. Arsenal set a record. It's good that they don't pull their backs.

The same is true of Benitez. He just listens about other teams. Unless it is related to the Liverpool team or himself, it has nothing to do with him. At present, the most important thing for Liverpool is to prepare for the next round.

Liverpool's opponent is Portsmouth.
