King of Competition

Chapter 363 Stick to yourself

At Anfield, the bis-2 draw with Blackburn was by no means the result that the media could think of before the game. Liverpool's level of this game, that is, the second half was not bad. The first half was really a mess.

What's the difference between the first half and the second half?

Obviously, it is that Jack Don is not on the court. After the beginning of the second half, the media and fans did not see Jack Don on the field, which makes the draw with Blackburn a side event. Why Jack Don left is the most concerned topic for the media reporters and the majority of fans!

Why!? What the hell happened!?

Whether it is a real Liverpool fan or a boring gossip, they will obviously be very interested in this topic. They did not perform well in the first half and were replaced on the bench in the second half, which will make people have infinite reverie. Many reporters have guessed whether there is any contradiction within Liverpool.

In the mixed area, many reporters are waiting for it. Unfortunately, all the Liverpool players who have just finished the field avoid talking about it.

"I don't know. Jack may not be feeling well, right?" Alonso said so.

Carragher shouted, "What's wrong with him? How can I know? I just want to talk about the game. The No. 10 boy has nothing to do with me.

Most players are still Alonso's argument, because they don't want to offend Don Jack, and Benitez has repeatedly stressed that this matter must not be revealed. They can only say 'I don't know' and 'I don't know'.

This scenario seems to have been arranged.

The doubts of media reporters are even heavier. At the post-match press conference, almost all the problems revolved around Don Jack. Benitez wanted to say something about his poor performance in the first half, but he thought about it for a long time. Unfortunately, no reporter cared about this. They all wanted to know why Don Jack didn't appear on the bench in the second half.

Benitez can only say, "Jack is not feeling well..."

Such an argument is reasonable, but if you tell everyone that the boy who is stronger than a cow will get sick, who will believe it? The main reason is that it is 'uncomfortable' or sudden. The first half is full of rushing games. How can you suddenly feel uncomfortable without injury?

No one believes it!

In such a heated discussion, both sides of the game have left the court, and there was no result in the end. In the media report the next day, half of England was discussing what was going on inside Liverpool.

The Sun, who was the first to be hit, thought that 'Jack was dissatisfied with his performance'. They were questioning Don Jack's 'maturity': "After all, this brunette boy is only 20 years old, but now the whole Liverpool has put their hopes on him."

"In the first half of the game, Jack's performance was not very good. He rarely got the ball, and he rarely passed a good ball. He was restricted by the opponent. Jack has always performed very well before. He will always be the MVP in Liverpool. Now he is dissatisfied with his performance. He thinks that his reasons make the team lag behind. Under all kinds of pressure, he feels physically and mentally exhausted, so it is normal to leave the court early.

"We should forgive him. After all, Jack is only twenty years old..."

Jack is still very young, and he has enough time to grow up. We can also forgive a 20-year-old young man for occasionally doing something out of the style on impulse. Yes, it can be forgiven..."

The Sun's comments are still somewhat biased towards Don Jack Don. Although Don Jack did not appear on the bench in the second half, which is a very undisciplined thing, the Sun's argument is looking for Jack Don. Under the pressure of the re-emergence of a rich aristocrat, a 20-year-old young man, No matter what can be done, it can be forgiven. In the professional football circle, the life of a 20-year-old professional player has just begun.

But the London Sports News has a different view.

As the mainstream media in London, the London Sports News believes that Jack Don's discipline is too poor and he is too loose. Every player who has been replaced should watch the team's game on the bench and can't leave until the end of the game. "Jack needs to face difficulties. His career is too smooth!" 《 London Sports said that they thought Don Jack enjoyed special treatment in Liverpool. "Jack's performance was so good that the Spaniards dared not scold him, because he was afraid that Jack would leave on impulse..."

"Jack has special treatment. He can do whatever he wants. No one cares about him. If he is not satisfied with his stay in Liverpool, he can change a team, and all the clubs in Europe who can afford to pay can write him a large check.

"In order to keep this young man, Liverpool had to push again and again, even head coach Benitez. Before, no player could beat the coach, but Jack did it. Should we congratulate him?

The semi-sarcasm remarks of the London Sports News said that in the hearts of many fans, such a talented player must be retained by the club, so it can be understood that Don Jack is not disciplined. The club can't control him, and the head coach dares not care about him. He can do whatever he wants. Everything goes. Just think about it.

However, this view was refuted by the Liverpool Morning Post.

As the mainstream media of Liverpool's sports, the Liverpool Morning Post has always been an absolute supporter of Liverpool, and the relevant reports in the Liverpool club must have a strong say.

In the report that day, they strongly refuted the tone of the London Sports News and believed that 'Londoners have a conspiracy against Liverpool'. "Jack has no special treatment at all, or Jack's professional ethics is very good. He has always been strict with himself. Even if there is such treatment, he will not fight for it. Many Liverpool fans know that Jack is always the first to come in daily training, and he has always smiled at his fans and teammates. His Lamborghini sports car always passes by Halls Street. Many fans can greet him every day. The Chinese restaurant in Liverpool Chinatown can see Jay every week. Ke's figure, sometimes I can see him and Steven, he and Milan, he and Harvey together... Everything shows that Jack's interpersonal relationship in Liverpool is very good, and every Liverpool player has said highly of him before.

"Londoners say that Jack is probably to give us a bad impression of Jack, so their team will have a chance. We should be wary of conspiracy. Mr. Ruble in London must be willing to pay a lot of rubles for Jack. What we should do is to believe Jack, no matter. Well, Jack belongs to Liverpool!"

"Anyway, Jack belongs to Liverpool!"

Such a title attracted almost all Liverpool fans. The report of the Liverpool Morning Post said that it had entered the hearts of all Liverpool fans. Next, the London Sports was almost drowned by the fans. They were regarded as the makers of the conspiracy by the fans. On the same day, more than a thousand phone calls complained about London Sports. The newspaper said that they are creating 'rest', the turmoil in English football!

Soon, the Daily Mirror stood up and defended the London Sports News. The Daily Mirror believes that all the reports are just speculation. The Liverpool club did not have any news. Before the real news, no one dares to say that it is true. In short, everything depends on the real situation.

The report of the Daily Mirror has stabilized the hearts of the fans, and they want to know more about what happened.

In the past two days, Liverpool's training is still going on as usual. The team doesn't seem to have happened, but Don Jack is still isolated. In fact, many of his teammates just didn't talk to Don Jack, but in this environment, Don Jack felt that Alonso was also on Carragher's side.

Jack Don felt that his mood was very indifferent.

He is an arrogant person himself. The achievements of the martial arts master in his previous life have been extremely brilliant. In this life, he has also achieved the unprespeakable strength of ordinary players in the field of football. Don Jack is convinced that strength is everything. His strength and ability can only be Liverpool and these teammates need themselves, not Liverpool and these teammates. At your own level, you can play as a first-class striker in any club.

So, since they isolate themselves, they will not take the initiative to speak.

Anyway, what if I have Liverpool's salary, even if I don't have a ball to play? Don Jack doesn't care at all. In these days of training, he still insists on himself. He trains with Carson every morning. When it comes to the team's training time, he trains with everyone. But he never takes the initiative to talk to others. He just trains silently and cooperates with others, but many teammates always feel that What's missing?

It is still an in-team training match, and Don Jack is still in the main team.

This is very **, but Don Jack is still playing in the midfield. He doesn't care what Carragherg thinks or what Gerrard thinks, but insists that he keeps running in the midfield position.

In three minutes, Jack Don scored the first goal in a long-range shot from the periphery!

The next time seems to have completely become Don Jack's personal performance. He keeps making breakthroughs on the right side, and the substitute players can't prevent him at all. In just ten minutes, Don Jack has completed his personal goal hat-trick. In terms of personal data, there are also four steals of gorgeous data.

"Genius!"

The head coach Benitez off the court is a little unquestionable. Although he often sees Don Jack's personal football performance, he still exclaimed again and again: "What a genius!" Such an excellent player..." He knew what to say, "My team is really a one-man team. It doesn't belong to me, but to him..."

Such a situation really makes Benitez contradictory.

Which coach wants his team to belong to someone else?

But now Liverpool is like this. Benitez brought Don Jack from Germany to Amfield. This brunette boy has succeeded here. He has been steadily winning two very important honors for the striker of the striker in the league and the Champions League. He has conquered it. The hearts of Liverpool fans, and every time they play against a strong team, Liverpool needs to rely on his personal ability to be easier, or to win.

Liverpool, belongs to him!

But is this really my pursuit? Benitez felt that everything was out of control. He firmly believed that he could control the whole team, but this brunette boy was completely different. For example, now that there is a conflict within the team, he could have used the iron-blooded policy to make Carragher and Don Jack not have to play, but Carragher is easy to do. Can he let this black-haired boy not play?

.... I don't know...

Benitez himself is not sure that he doesn't like this feeling, but there is nothing he can do. For example, in the next round of the Champions League quarterfinals against the powerful Juventus, the consequence of not letting this brunette boy play is that if he loses, all the responsibility will be on himself. The media will say, 'Look, this is not to let Jie. Liverpool fans will even defeat themselves with tomatoes, and they will become the sinners of the game.

Shaking his head helplessly, Benitez decided to let nature take its course. In his opinion, at least Liverpool is doing well this season, and everything else is something to consider in the future.

But obviously, there is no impervious wall!

When Benitez naively thought that as long as the news was blocked in the team, it would not be revealed in a short time, some paparazzi media quickly pryed the news from Liverpool players, and it should not be said that it was pried out, because the media was talking about players who were 'unwilling to be named' when they published the topic. Obviously, this was deliberately said by Liverpool players, and the role of Benitez's words is really limited.

The news is the Daily Telegraph!

As Liverpool's largest media newspaper, the Daily Telegraph always likes to be amazing. They didn't guess anything before, but when other media were talking about what happened, the Daily Telegraph directly stated the process: "Someone who doesn't want to reveal The Liverpool player in the name claimed that Jack had a conflict with others in the team, the most important of which was the iron-waist Carragher. The two once fought on the training ground, and Carla's arm was broken by Jack.

According to the analysis of a football professional, the conflict between Jack and Carragher may be due to a competitive relationship. Jack wants to retreat to become the core of the team. He has a strong defensive interception ability, but Liverpool already has Gerrard and Carragher. So the two have always had a position conflict, and so has Gerrard. Jack's running position is too erratic. His strong ability makes Benitez want Jack to play all his strength, so he must let the team build around himself, which is a little unacceptable, especially for the elderly in Liverpool.

"At present, Liverpool still has not solved the internal contradictions. If they want to achieve good results, they must overcome this barrier. It's a difficult choice in front of Liverpool..."

※※※

There is an old saying in faraway China: If you want to be outside, you must first settle down inside!

Not only the media, but also Benitez understands this truth. What's more, Liverpool is no better than other teams. With internal contradictions, you can still play when you meet a weak team in one or two games. If you play in the Champions League final, there are internal contradictions. The team doesn't have to play at all. The overall morale and cooperation will definitely fall by more than one level. The team can surrender directly.

Now the conflict between Carragher and Don Jack must be solved, but the solution should be carefully considered.

For the importance of Liverpool, the team's brunette must be the most important. It's not a big problem for Carragher to play or not. Now Don Jack can be qualified for the midfield position. Carragher's substitute does not have much impact on the team. However, Carragher has been an important contributor to Liverpool for several years, and his strength is also very strong. In Liverpool, where the depth of the bench is very weak, Benitez thinks it is too wasteful for such a player to be a substitute.

And this is not the solution.

Many Liverpool players have a good relationship with Carrag. Because of Don Jack, Carragor has become a substitute, which will definitely make many people dissatisfied. At that time, Don Jack will definitely be more isolated.

Since Carragher can't move, can he move Don Jack?

More than that, this matter also involves another problem, that is, Gerard, Carragher's position does not move, and Gerard will definitely be implicated. He must be in position when he wants to play the game. Whether it is a central striker or striker, in short, his offensive core position is gone.

This is still the case of considering the neutrality relationship.

If normally, Don Jack's position retreats to the core, then Gerrard must be the striker, but doing so will make Liverpool players feel cold! That's Gerrard!

In Liverpool, Gerrard's influence is very high. Even Don Jack can't say for sure that he is not as good as Gerard in the hearts of Liverpool fans, because Gerard has been fighting in the weak Liverpool. He is the hero who saves Liverpool and does not leave Liverpool, and what about Don Jack?

It seems that he is just an important contributor to the rise of Liverpool, that's all.

Everyone says that the icing on the cake is easy to do, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. At the most difficult time in Liverpool, it was Gerrard who stayed in Liverpool, so that Liverpool was still in the top four of England. If it hadn't been for Gerrard, Liverpool would have become a second-rate team. Just like Newcastle United, it can only be relegated now. It's strong.

The importance of such a player in the hearts of the fans and the board of directors can be imagined. Gerrard must be unmoved.

So, there is only one choice?

※※※

Don Jack has always felt that there is nothing wrong with sticking to his football. As for the contradiction with Carragher, he believes that as long as there is no accident, Carragher will definitely be put on the bench. He runs rampant in the midfield and leads the team to win one by one. Carragher wins the championship. Although this big man is very powerful, it is enough. The competition is often so cruel that there is nothing to say.

But he didn't expect Benitez to keep him in the office on that day.

"Jack, do you know why I keep you?" Benitez did not speak directly, but asked first.

Jack Don was stunned and said, "Is it about me and Carragher?"

Benitez nodded, "Yes." He kept poking his chin with the tip of his pen, looked down and thought about it, and then said, "Everyone knows about you and Jamie. Now Liverpool is making a lot of noise. They all say that you should think about Liverpool." He paused a little, "I know the reason for your conflict. I think you should take a step back."

"Why?" Don Jack frowned.

"You know, Carragher is an old man in the team. He is very strong." Benitez said this first and then said, "Moreover, our results have always been good. Your continuous goals in the front court can make the team defeat each opponent. Even AC Milan and Juventus are not scary."

Don Jack nodded and agreed. In his heart, these were just opponents, that's all.

Benitez continued, "So I think it's enough to stay like this this season. We even have a chance to get the Triple Crown!" Benitez was a little excited: "The Triple Crown! What a great honor that is!"

"I also want to get it."

"Who doesn't want to take it? So I hope you can sacrifice for the team. Although you can play a greater role in the midfield, Liverpool may not be better than now, and in this way, the conflict between you and Carragher will not exist..." Benitez stared into Don Jack's eyes, and he was afraid that the boy in front of him would refuse.

But he was still disappointed.

In Jack Don's heart, he is only 20 years old, and what honor can't he win?

But one thing that must be adhered to is your bottom line. In terms of football, Don's bottom line is to 'stick to yourself'. If you take a step back, as Benitez said, Liverpool is still very strong as before, but that's not your own pursuit, since you have found the most suitable position for you. Why do you want to give up again?

"No!"

"I have to stick to my football! This is my bottom line!"
