Chapter 355 Ball Style 1

In the Champions League, every team wants to meet the weak team. That's for sure. It's better to meet a weak team than to meet a strong team. Mourinho obviously hopes that the team will meet Lyon or Eindhoven. Bayern is also better than the Italian team. Liverpool's shot while lying down is obviously incidental. Everyone thinks so, because Chelsea lost to Liverpool last time, and the two teams did not have the feud between Inter and AC Milan. The Portuguese could not hope to meet Jack, who has a top scorer. Lee's Liverpool.

That's very bad for Chelsea!

For Liverpool, of course, they also hope to meet a weak team.

This topic is also being discussed in the team. More people hope to meet Lyon. Although Lyon is the easiest team to advance in the top 16 knockout rounds, they all beat Welda Bremen at home and away, and even scored ten goals in two games. But in fact, everyone knows that it's just Lyon's lucky encounter. The relationship between weak teams.

In itself, Lyon is a regular guest of the Champions League in recent years, but it is also a weak team in the Champions League. They are not even as good as Eindhoven.

Don Jack didn't think about meeting any team.

In Don Jack's subconscious idea, he hoped that the opponent he met must be a strong team. The weak team is completely boring. His easy shots are completely capable of kicking a weak team out of the Champions League. Such a game is as boring as dealing with errands. He most wants to challenge the strong team.

On the other hand, it's not bad to meet a weak team. After all, promotion is related to the whole team. It's good to have a strong team. The victory or defeat of that kind of team is not in the hands of Don Jack alone. If he wants to win, it depends on the performance of the whole Liverpool, not his own performance. That situation is actually not good. In case of real loss, Liverpool will be eliminated in the Champions League, and he will also miss the European championship trophy this season.

This is the most meaningful group honor among the club honors.

Every Champions League trophy can double the value of the first team's players, especially for teams that don't often win the championship!

For example, Porto last season.

No one believed that Porto won the Champions League championship before. Anyone who heard it would think it was a joke. Even the craziest gamblers did not dare to put a big bet on Porto, but Porto won the championship, and the whole Porto team also doubled its value. Think about it that summer, Chelsea bought three waves. Irtu players spent more than 50 million pounds, and buying the same three players a year ago may only cost half or less of the transfer fee.

From this, it can be seen.

The Champions League championship honor is not only an honor for the club, but also an extremely important honor for every player who participates in the club, which can at least double their value. Of course, Jack Don is eager to get such a great honor. Although he is very famous in European football, he doesn't have a real champion. He now needs a champion to fill his career.

"Train hard, defeat every opponent, and help the team win the championship!" In an interview with reporters and when asked about his recent goals, Jack Don answered confidently, "These are my goals."

The short and refined answer makes every Liverpool fan excited. Champion, how long has it been since they won the championship so confidently?

Long time, long time...

※※※

It was another sunny morning. When it was still sprinkled on the ground, the two figures on the first team training ground of Liverpool Club had begun to be busy.

Today is the open day of the club's training ground. Some early Liverpool fans stand on the side of the training ground and can see the training of two people. Whenever it comes to the training day, some Liverpool fans come to the venue early. Some of them are close to each other, and some of them are organized to watch the training.

Of course, they are not as good as some professionals, that is, the Liverpool paparazzi.

To describe it in a good word, it is a professional sports tracking media reporter in Liverpool. When the team's stadium opened to the public at six o'clock in the morning, these reporters had come to the sidelines very conscientiously to start shooting. After waiting for more than an hour, many of their companions were going to have breakfast. They saw two figures coming to the stadium.

In the hazy sunlight, the two figures in red training clothes are not very clear, but some fans recognized one of them as Jack at a glance from their hairstyle and height!

Don Jack has been here early recently.

He and Carson come to the training ground to train together every morning. Since the Champions League knockout match, the atmosphere of the team has been a little loose. Most of the players seem to be wage earners. They come to the court to train. They may only come one or two minutes earlier than head coach Benitez, and some players even They came later than Benitez. Although these players were not late, they were still sent off the lap: the reason is that they should not come later than the coach.

Are you unconvinced?

Anyway, he is just a player. Benitez has a lot of reasons for you to run in circles. Who has nothing to refute the coach's decision?

In Liverpool, Benitez's reputation is that of Gerrard and Don Jack.

Gerrard will not be punished, because he has a very good time every day. Every time this guy arrives at the court five minutes before Benitez, and Gerrard's injury has not fully recovered. Even if he comes late, Benitez will not punish him. As for Don Jack...

Now the fans have seen it.

"Hey, Jack, let's start again later, wait for me to put on my gloves!" On the court, Carson waved his hand to indicate that he was not ready.

Jack Don shook his head helplessly and said, "Then hurry up. I'm still in a hurry to have breakfast!"

"Immediate... It will be ready soon..."

Carson stood in place and jumped twice and swayed for a long time. After a long time, he finally raised his head. There seemed to be a generous hero version on his face. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "... Come on..... All right... Come on..."

Looking at him, he doesn't want to be a goalkeeper and go to the slaughterhouse - he belongs to the slaughter, not the butcher.

In fact, this scene is found almost every morning.

Carson and Don Jack train together. It's really like hell. He always has to face Don Jack's frequent strong volleys. Although Don Jack has been training for free kicks recently, sometimes he doesn't score goals in a row. When he is in a bad mood, he always kicks hard to find his state and mood.

In this way, you can imagine the pressure faced by Carson, which is a volley of less than 20 meters from the penalty area line!

Sometimes Don Jack is still a little scrupulous, but there are always times when he forgets it after a long time. In a word, Carson doesn't feel good to be a goalkeeper, but he still cherishes the opportunity to train with Don Jack every day. For the second-line goalkeeper of his team at this level, it is true to strive for every opportunity to improve. He is still far away. It's far from being lazy.

The fans outside the stadium were excited.

When the two started training, the fans on the sidelines began to shout. They are all nearby Liverpool fans. They will watch the game every week when the stadium is opened. Recently, because Liverpool has entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, these fans are more active. At about eight o'clock, there are even 200 left on the sidelines. The fans on the right are watching, which makes both Don Jack a little embarrassed, because they seem to be playing monkey tricks... Monkey... In a word, it is being watched.

It's okay if it's a formal game, but the two are just training for a free kick.

"Jack, come on!"

"Who is that little guy? The one who trained with Jack?"

"Go and have a look. Is this a Liverpool player? By the way, Jack, come on!!!"

........

Fortunately, the voice of the fans talking is very friendly, and some words make Carson feel very comfortable. For example, about the training of two people, Liverpool fans will naturally attribute them to one grade player because they train together, so that Carson's reputation has also improved.

At least more Liverpool fans know him.

Of course, those paparazzi reporters know Carson. They keep taking photos of Don Jack's shots. It's best that both of them are on one shot. The smart reporter has remembered the main content of the report this morning: "Jack mentions a newcomer, and Carson is immersed in the happiness of playing football with his idol."

Very rich imagination... Of course, this is their profession.

But after eight o'clock, the training of the two is over. If they want to have breakfast together, the fans can only stand on the edge of the field and stare at the empty court in a daze, but this is already good. It takes at least nine o'clock on weekdays to see the player. So, they began to talk about Don Jack and Carson, mainly Don Jack, and the topic about him was basically---

"Jack worked so hard that he came so early!"

"Of course, Jack is the hardest-working player. He trains more early to be better than other players!"

"My son Tom is still sleeping in at this time, but Jack has already started training."

......

In the mouth of the fans, Don Jack has become Liverpool's hardest-working player.

If Don Jack hears this, he will definitely feel a little ashamed. He has been working very hard recently, but there was no one to train with him before Carson's transfer to Liverpool. During that time, he has been coming late like other teammates, working hard... It's just now.

※※※

9:20.

This time is very symbolic, because many fans on the sidelines of the Liverpool first team training ground have been a little excited since this time, and then they see the stars of each team coming from behind the court in training uniforms.

It's like a star runway show, but this is a football star special show.

The first ones to arrive were Don Jack and Carson. They came to the court for training at nine o'clock, and then... Head coach Benitez.

What a surprise!

When Benitez came to the court, Carson was a little nervous. As a newcomer to the team, he was always a little afraid of the coach, especially when he was less than 20 years old, and the young players were even more so. However, Benitez didn't say anything. He just stood on the sidelines and smiled and watched the two of them training. He was in a bad mood. Wrong, so Carson's progress is much less. He silently said, "I didn't see, I didn't see", and paralyzed himself to cope with the cannonball-like goals in this way.

The effect is not bad. Don Jack kicked three legs in a row and was blocked by him.

"Awesome! Carson!"

"..... This... No... Nothing..." As soon as Benitez came, Carson stattered a little.

The next person to enter is Gerrard. He trained with the team three days ago. The doctor told him not to participate in the fierce game for at least a week, but he can still participate in the general training. This is to avoid the injury caused by strenuous exercise, but the injury is almost over.

After Gerard came, he stood beside Benitez and watched the two train.

Compared with Carson, Gerrard's calm appearance seems to be equal to Benitez. He is not afraid of the coach at all. Of course, in fact, Gerrard is not afraid of the coach's reason. He is not afraid, but Benitez wants to flatter him: Now it is rumored that Gerard is going to stay away from Anfield, Bay. Nitez doesn't want his men to lose a Gerrard next season.

Then, the players swarmed in one by one.

Between 9:20 and 25 minutes, thirteen players arrived at this time.

When they saw that the coach had come to the court, they immediately gathered together to pack their things together, but in fact, everyone only had a small bag of clothes and goods, with two or three things in it. There was no need to tidy up like this. They are talking about why the coach came so early.

"Will you be punished for running the circle?" Alonso was worried.

"No way." Haipia was very calm. This guy seemed to be very good at thinking about the coach: "We're not late. The boss came early today, and it's not that we came late..." He said that justice was awe-inspiring, but that expression made people know that he was actually not confident.

As a result, the team still did not gather in the 30th.

Then, Barosh came late.

"Oh, my God, I'm late. Haha, what are you all here for? The coach hasn't come yet." Barosh's hat was crooked, and his face looked like he didn't wake up. When he came over, he took off his hat and threw it directly on the ground, as if it were something dirty. It looked funny with his mate. He came over and hugged a nearby figure and laughed, "Haha, I knew he didn't come, so I specially reviewed last night's homework with my girlfriend today. You know, Cross's appearance in the morning is really tempting..."

After saying this, he looked up and saw that the person he was holding seemed to be a little older - Benitez.

It can be imagined what will be the result of Barrosh. In the laughter of the fans and all his teammates on the sidelines, this stupid big man ran the lap instead of the whole team. It is estimated that this morning will be a nightmare for him, because Benitez did not give him the number of laps to run: one Run straight and run until the morning training is over.

Although I didn't say it, that's what the Spaniards mean.

※※※

After gathering the players, Benitez announced the list of starting players for the next game.

This is directly announced in front of a group of media. Many people are puzzled and announce the starting list before the game, which is very unfavorable to the team. Except for some games that must be made public, the starting list of other games will generally be the team's secret. Only at this time will Liverpool players remember that the next game will be the FA Cup!

For the FA Cup, Liverpool players also feel strange.

As early as Christmas, Benitez told everyone that he would give up the Cup. They have given up the League Cup, and they want to give up the FA Cup, but several games have been easy victories, but now they have entered the quarterfinals.

Entering the quarterfinals, there are only three games left from the champion. It's a pity to give up.

After all, in England, the FA Cup has a different position in the hearts of fans. It is completely different from the Spanish King's Cup, or the German Cup and other domestic cups. As the oldest event, this cup is very meaningful, and the championship is also of great significance.

For England's club events, it is second only to the league championship and the European championship - the FA Cup champion can skip the qualification and directly participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

So, what does the coach mean by doing this?

In fact, Benitez is also entangled. He has no conclusion about what to do with the FA Cup. Now Benitez's decision is to let nature develop. The team will not invest too much energy, but it is not completely giving up. It is like playing the FA Cup like playing a league, so that the team will not increase. If you put too much pressure, you can fight if you can reach the finals, and it's okay if you can't make it to the finals.

It is worth mentioning that Carson has entered the starting list.

After being surprised by this, the media reporter was a little clear. Now Liverpool's three goalkeepers, the first goalkeeper Dudek is always injured, and the second goalkeeper Kirkland has always been the starting goalkeeper. However, although Liverpool has been winning recently, Liverpool's number of goals conceded has also been rising, making the media feel that Liverpool does not have the championship, because the team has conceded too many goals.

Like other UEFA Champions League top eight teams, Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan conceded no more than three goals in the Champions League, while Liverpool's group stage and the number of goals conceded in the Champions League have been nearly ten. The number of goals conceded between the two cannot be compared at all, and it is no wonder that the media thinks that Liverpool has little chance to win the championship.

It's a little ridiculous to win the Champions League trophy just by scoring goals.

Benitez can't stand it anymore!

Kirkland was also in the team. When he heard that he was not on the starting list, his expression was very flat. It seemed that he had already expected this scene until now, but he didn't expect when it would come. He is still a little envious of Carson. He can start on behalf of Liverpool at such a young age. Naturally, he has a bright future.

However, Kirkland is not very worried.

Liverpool's defensive problem is not only because of the goalkeeper. Kirkland believes that even if it is the world's top goalkeeper like Buffon in the future, the number of goals conceded by the team will not be less. As a goalkeeper, his feelings are deeper than the head coach. For so long in Liverpool, Kirkland understands the reason for the loss of the goal: the team's style Change.

In the past, Liverpool has always been a defensive team, but with the arrival of Benitez, the team's style was a little South Americanized by the Spaniards, coupled with the strong outbreak of the team's black-haired boy, which led to the Liverpool defender having a heart that the team can always score goals.

This puts the defense behind the attack.

In the hearts of the players, the team's style of play is the same. More often, Liverpool will choose offensive football. Even if it is a defensive counterattack, the counterattack is also the focus. The main reason is that Jack Don rarely participates in defense, so naturally the defenders are confident to score goals.

Such a situation causes the team to slowly move closer to the offensive football.

If the attack is insufficient, the coach and the players will choose to defend, which is naturally the defensive team. In the case of insufficient defensive players and the limited depth of the Liverpool bench, the result is that the defense is getting worse and worse. In every game, Kirkland has to go through many opponents's shots. Threats, some of them jump out, and some naturally can't, which is equivalent to scoring a goal.

As a result, the goal he guarded has been scored by his opponent, and the result is naturally not good.

Relatively speaking, Chelsea's goalkeeper Cech is very famous, and the young Cech's gate is as stable as a rock, but in fact, Cech needs to face a limited number of shots in every game, and sometimes he doesn't even need to play at halftime. The gate he guards is naturally very stable.

If he were another goalkeeper, he might also have this result, just because he is in Chelsea.

This idea is a little extreme, but Kirkland always loses the ball, which is not just his reason. Benitez must know this, but in this FA Cup game, Benitez still chooses to give Carson a chance, which may be to train young players. On the other hand, Benitez also wants to see Qi Traces happen.

In case... In case this new young goalkeeper is a goalkeeper genius, the team will have a guaranteed position as a goalkeeper in the future.
