Chapter 326 Despicable
Lampard is telling the truth.
The whole of England is paying attention to this game, or the whole England is looking forward to the final result of the two teams. Most of them hope that Liverpool can beat Chelsea, on the one hand, because of Chelsea's strength in the Premier League.
The sudden rise of a traditional aristocrat is often favored, but on the contrary, an upstart is often envied. This is the situation of the two teams. Liverpool is a traditional aristocracy, and many fans still remember the strength of Liverpool in the 1980s. Even now, many people still think that Liverpool is a hero. Chelsea is the upstart of the Premier League, and most fans hope that such a team will fail.
On the other hand, it is also because of what Don Jack said before that the side that takes the initiative always has the advantage, so Liverpool is regarded as the bright side, while Chelsea is the dark side.
Light overcomes darkness, of course, which is in line with the spirit and belief of Europeans.
This is also a rare opportunity for Chelsea. Although they have been in the lead in the league, in fact, they have not been able to pull down Liverpool. The gap between the two teams has not been big. If Chelsea can win this game, the point gap between the two teams can be as much as four points, which is for Chelsea. Generally speaking, it is basically equivalent to opening the gap. With their current record, the future game will be much easier.
According to the current situation of the two teams, there are too many seven points!
Chelsea paid great attention to the game. The head coach Mourinho looked much more stable in the interview. The coach, who has always been a big brand, did not 'play' as usual in an interview with reporters, but said solemnly: "This is a difficult game. Our players must face it, and I have to face it, too. Maybe this will be directly related to the league championship.
It can be seen how important Chelsea regards the game.
"Mr. Mourinho, can you tell me what you think of Liverpool?"
"That's our competitor, of course, the most powerful competitor." Mourinho said, "Originally, I think the team's performance is already very good, but Liverpool's results are also excellent. I think the league championship will be won by our two teams, so we must win this game. Even at Anfield, we have to work hard. Now the whole team is preparing for the game, and I believe them. A reporter asked, "So, what do you think of Liverpool's No. 10?"
"That's a very excellent boy, as I said before. Unfortunately, I didn't get him. Liverpool's most threatening player is him. I will make tactical arrangements against him. I hope that boy can surprise me at that time. However, I hope that he will appear at Stamford Bridge next season and wear the Blues' jersey, which will be the best thing. While talking about the game, Mourinho still doesn't forget to poach...
However, everyone knows that the Portuguese are telling the truth. In fact, this is more than just talking. At the time of the winter transfer, Chelsea had already targeted Don Jack, and Abramovich even issued a blank check for Liverpool with a ceiling of 100 million pounds. This matter is very secretive, but there is really nothing secret in England. Everything has a price. A reporter from The Sun bought the news for 50,000 pounds.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for Liverpool to trade Don Jack in the winter for the results of this season, and it is impossible for Liverpool to sell the star to competitors, which will make them the sinners of Liverpool, no matter how excited the board of directors and the chairman of the team. They must also oppose the transfer, otherwise Liverpool fans will not let them go.
Don Jack's presence in Liverpool is Mourinho's biggest headache, because Chelsea can say that he does not understand the strength characteristics of this brunette boy.
The last time the two teams played, Don Jack did not play, which led to the technical strength of Don Jack. Mourinho could only know from some game videos. Because of this, Mourinho had been thinking about how to defend well before the game. He was even ready to fight back from the beginning, that is, In this way, the Portuguese also feel that defense is an extremely difficult task, but it is easy to attack.
Liverpool's defense can't withstand Chelsea's firepower.
※※※On January 14, there is still one day before the start of the game.
After a day of training, Liverpool players did not drive home directly. They are here waiting for the coach to announce tomorrow's starting list. Although many players know the results, some players who have not entered the starting lineup still hope that something will happen.
While waiting, many people feel that time passes very slowly.
Finally, a figure in a straight suit came from the corner of the court. It was Benitez, the team's head coach, who held the big list of tomorrow's game, with the position of each player marked on it.
“...... Jack. Lee, left striker; Barrosh, center; Jamie. Carragher, the back..."
A series of names and positions were revealed from the Spanish mouth, which made some worried players feel relieved, and also made some people feel heavy, such as Molentes.
Morentus, who just joined Liverpool in the winter, thought that he would definitely be the main player when he came to Liverpool. In the previous game, his performance was neither too good nor bad, and he was also looking forward to the battle for the top of the English League.
Yesterday, the team played an intra-team training match to let the coach check the status of the players.
Moreentes felt that his performance was good. He scored a goal in the end, and he has always been in the main team. Many other players have been replaced by the substitute team halfway. What does this mean? Anyone can see that entering the main team must be able to start in the battle with Chelsea. The substitute team can only pray that they have a bench seat.
However, now Benitez's starting list is, and the two starting forwards are Don Jack and Baroche.
Morentus will have no problem with the team's brunette boy. Even if he has achieved good results before, after all, it is the past. Now in Liverpool, Don Jack is the first striker. There is no need to question this at all. If Benitez does not arrange this brave boy in the starting position, I'm afraid I'm afraid that all the fans will think that the Spaniards are out of their minds.
But his position was replaced by Barosh!
Morentus didn't understand. He felt that he had the ability to start, and he didn't come to Liverpool to play as a substitute. So, why did he sit on the bench in such an important game?
After Benitez finished reading the main list, almost all the players looked at Morents. They also knew that this guy would definitely be dissatisfied. Obviously, Morents's dissatisfaction had been put on his face. But Benitez did not give him the opportunity to leave and ask. After reading the main lineup, he ordered the team to disband and told everyone to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.
"You stay!" Benitez stopped Molentes.
This shout made everyone feel nothing strange. They knew that the coach was going to enlighten Morentes. Before leaving, Barrosh smiled at Morents with embarrasment. In fact, Barros was very excited. He was also surprised how he could enter the main lineup, but now that everything was a fore, he felt a little embarrassed to grab the position of Morents.
After all the players left, Benitez said to Moreentes, "I know you must be unwilling, but I did this for the sake of the team's victory."
Moreentes raised his head puzzledly, and there was a trace of doubt between his eyebrows.
Benitez walked two steps in place and said slowly, "Tomorrow is a tough battle, but you are not very adaptable to the league." He waved his hand to interrupt Morentes' argument and said, "You haven't fully adapted to it. This can be seen from the last game. As the media said, the team's strength really can't catch up with Chelsea, and Jack will be the key to the victory of the two teams.
"Originally, I wanted you to partner with Jack, but after yesterday's training match, I found that you are not used to frequent body collisions, and the game will be very fierce. You will be under great pressure in the game. Tomorrow's game is very important. What I need is a striker who can partner and cooperate with Jack. It's not a pure shooter, do you understand?"
Morentes nodded, but his expression was still a little dissatisfied.
Benitez sank and said, "I hope you can watch the game carefully on the bench. Watching the game from a bystander's perspective will be of great help for you to adapt to the league. You can take a look at Chelsea's playing style, and you may have some inspiration according to the team's performance. He thought for a moment and added, "It depends. Maybe you will have a chance in the second half."
Is this half a promise?
Morenentes is not sure. In fact, he understands what Coach Benitez said. He also knows his current problems in the team. However, he can't play in such an important game. It won't be better to put it on anyone. He is still robbed of his position by a 'reckless' Czech. Morenentes is definitely not. I will be in a good mood.
But since the coach talked to him alone, the importance attached to him has been made clear.
Morentes knows that he should not be entangled with anything. After all, although his performance is not too bad, he is not very good. Compared with the team's brunette boy, he is still far worse. If you want to have a place in a team, you must have strength and performance. I haven't done this yet.
If you can be comforted by the coach in person, you should be satisfied.
※※※
Before the war, every player who could play and even enter the big list was more or less nervous.
The next day, when Don Jack drove to the club, almost all the players had arrived. He looked at his watch in surprise. It was only 8:30. Liverpool's official training time was 9:30, and he thought he was late. Don Jack greeted several teammates, went to the locker room to change his sportswear, and then went straight to the court.
The players in the stadium did not train. They gathered around and quarreled with each other and talked about the media, fans and clubs. It seemed that everyone was very idle, which was inconsistent with the tension before the war, but Don Jack saw the tension on the faces of his teammates.
Although they are chatting casually, they are always a little absent-minded, which makes Don Jack a little worried.
Only Barrosh, a big Czech man, is different. This guy can't see any nervousness at all. When he saw Don Jack coming, he immediately stood up and pointed to the newspaper. Don Jack saw a large photo in the newspaper.
"Jack, all of England is talking about you now. You have to be careful. They will definitely keep a close eye on you in the game." After saying that, he immediately laughed and said, "Jack, give them something awesome!"
Barosh's appearance is not nervous at all.
Don Jack doesn't think this guy should be nervous about anything. Originally, his role in Liverpool Club was obvious, that is, a high-school striker substitute. In fact, the most suitable high-end in the team is Baroche. In Benitez's tactics, the high-end striker has little role. Liverpool needs a flexible center, rather than a tactical center, otherwise Husky will not be sold.
And Baroche is not very suitable for the team's tactics. The whole team knows that Baroche is an absolute substitute in Liverpool and can be the main force, but he rarely has a chance. He may always be in this position in Liverpool.
Baroche also knows his own situation. For him, the club is just a place to get a salary. It's not that he is not enterprising, but with his ability, he has made a lot of efforts now. It is impossible to go further, even if it is a transfer.
It was unexpected for Baroche to start this game.
There is nothing dissatisfied with Czechs. He is usually very cheerful. Jack Don thinks that such teammates and friends are very good. He knows that he is better than those who don't understand their positioning and are jealous of others.
"You don't have to worry about me. You should pay attention to yourself. The opponent's defense is very good, and you will be very stressed." Don Jack replied like this.
Barosh smiled and said, "Now all England is talking about you. What pressure will I have?"
Don Jack half hugged the Czech's shoulder and said, "In the game, you are my good partner. You have to work hard to share the pressure for me. It's up to you whether I can score a goal or not!" So you will be under a lot of pressure, Milan. You are my best partner.
"Really? Jack?" Barosh looked surprised.
"That's right!" Jack Tang solemnly said, "In the boss's tactics, your position is the most critical. Therefore, whether the team can win the game depends on you. If you are at the front, you will definitely become the main defensive target of the opponent. You have to perform well and let our fans see your strength."
"I will, I will! Jack!" Barosh is very excited.
A group of teammates around him also heard the conversation between the two. Usually, Barosh, a strong man, looks dull, but everyone knows his shrewdness, but now he looks a little shrewd. He is completely a stupid man.
"He is so easy to cheat..." Josemi whispered to Molentes, "You were robbed of your seat by such a guy."
Morentes touched his forehead and looked like he was hit: "I think I should pretend to be stupid next time. Maybe the coach will think such a player is more trustworthy..."
Anyway, the conversation between the two distracted the players around them. As they sighed about Barosh's 'stupidness', they naturally relaxed and were not too nervous about the game.
Barosh played a role.
After that, Pangler proposed to choose a goal to celebrate Don Jack.
This topic is supported by many people. Every time Don Jack scores a goal, the celebration action is a mess. He seems to occasionally do some beautiful movements, but it is not particularly fixed, which makes his teammates feel that he doesn't care about this. So, they began to think about Don Jack 'the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuch'.
"Jack, you should have a beautiful celebration when you score!" Gerrard chewed gum in his mouth and came over and said, "How about me?"
"Yours?"
"Yes, my celebration action is very handsome, isn't it?"
"What kind of action is that?"
Don Jack doesn't know why he really doesn't know what Gerrard's symbolic celebration is. This question makes Gerrard speechless. After being together for so long, Gerrard has scored a lot of goals in the game. He didn't expect that this brunette boy didn't know how to celebrate after scoring... This was really a blow. Gerrard stopped talking, and he felt that he had been ignored.
That sad look is like a little daughter-in-law who has just been dumped by a man.
"What about you? Milan, what will you do to celebrate? Don Jack really didn't care about this problem.
"Haha, Jack, I knew I could score a goal! If I score a goal, I will definitely put my fingers on my mouth and shut up all the stupid pigs who hate thinking that Chelsea will win!" With that, the Czech also half squatted on the ground and blew his fingers around his mouth.
"Hahahaha! Milan, you did a good job!"
"I knew you could do it, Milan. Let them shut up."
Jack Don thought and said, "It seems that I have to create an opportunity for you. Your action is really handsome."
These words made Baroche very happy, and I don't know if he can't stand the praise of his teammates. Anyway, after being praised by Don Jack today, this guy's IQ has plummeted to the red line.
In the end, the teammates couldn't stand it, but no one except Jack Don didn't see it. A trace of pride flashed in the corners of Barosh's eyes, this guy... It's pretending. Maybe he can get the Oscar.
Fortunately, Benitez saved these players who had been fooled.
At 9:30, the Liverpool team was doing warm-up exercises at the club training ground. At 11:30, the team gathered for lunch and took a bus to Anfield Stadium.
Anfield Stadium is not too far from Liverpool Club. The bus has entered the stadium in ten minutes. At this time, there are still about three hours before the game time, but many fans have begun to gather in the small square in front of Anfield Stadium.
Many reporters also gathered in the court. They have special passes and can freely enter and exit the court and interview in a fixed area.
The location where the bus stops is one of the free areas. When Liverpool players get out of the car, the bus has been surrounded by a group of reporters, who hold all kinds of 'tools' and compete for interviews with players and coaches.
Benitez has been surrounded by a group of journalists. The reporters want to pry some joy about the game from the Spanish. Don Jack is also surrounded by reporters. They are concerned about whether this brunette boy can still perform well in the game against Chelsea and fight back at those who question his stage fright.
Many journalists support Liverpool, which shows that Liverpool is superior to Chelsea in the media. Whether a player is a star sought after by the media can be seen from the number of reporters around the players. When everyone gets off the bus, Don Jack, Gerard and head coach Benitez are surrounded. There are relatively fewer reporters around other players. Baroche is a little miserable. Maybe It was reporters who thought it was impossible for the Czechs to start, so no one came to interview him.
Baroche was so happy that he walked into the player channel to the locker room briskly by himself.
Before walking over, he also smiled gloatingly at Don Jack and others, which made several people hate it... How on earth can this guy be stupid? He is completely confused but malicious... Despicable villain!
