Chapter 386 Night in Istanbul 1

When the English media reported about Don Jack's transfer to Newcastle United, the whole Liverpool team had arrived in Istanbul, Turkey.

Istanbul, Turkey, with a history of more than 2,600 years, is the only city in the world that spans Eurasia. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the ancient Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The Bosphorus divides Istanbul into two parts with very different styles. The east is full of oriental colors and the west is full of European style. On May 26, Liverpool will hold the final of the European Cup at Ataturk Stadium and AC Milan in Istanbul.

After arriving in Istanbul, the atmosphere in the team was a little awkward.

"Jack, are you going to transfer? Is it Newcastle United?"

It was Gerrard who took the lead in breaking the silence. He didn't expect this kind of news the day before the final. To be honest, Gerrard was very reluctant to leave Don Jack. He was prepared for Don Jack to leave, but leaving so soon made Gerard a little overwhelmed. He felt a little unacceptable. Jue.

"Newcastle United? I just read the report that Jack, your transfer has been finalized? Alonso then asked.

Jack Tang nodded and said, "Yes, the negotiation started a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that the efficiency of the club is really fast..." This is a bit of a joke. Don Jack felt very relaxed after the transfer was finalized. He was embarrassed in Liverpool before, but now he has no psychological pressure. Anyway, he is leaving soon. What was everything in the past?

But there are still people who are unhappy, such as head coach Benitez.

As Liverpool's head coach, he certainly doesn't want to hear about the transfer of his good players. Although he has known about this for a long time, Liverpool will not announce it now even if the contract is finalized, because tomorrow is the most important game of Liverpool this season, but now the team is not talking about the game. It's the transfer of this dark-haired boy, and he feels very uncomfortable.

He stared at Gerald angrily and said, "Let's meet at night to explain the tactics again. In addition, remember that you can't go out casually in the afternoon. Turkey is very dangerous."

is very dangerous!

Turkish fans are very extreme. The away game of the Turkish team is the most terrible away trip, but now Liverpool's opponent is AC Milan. They come here to play with the spread of football culture. Naturally, there is no danger. On the contrary, they will be welcomed by local fans.

Everyone knew that the Spaniards were in a bad mood, so they obeyed the instructions and rested all afternoon.

That night, the players gathered together. Benitez began to explain the tactics and announced the final starting list. This list has long been submitted. Don Jack is one of them and can participate in the final of the UEFA Champions League. Don Jack feels that he is good in Liverpool. Here, he takes When it comes to the Premier League top scorer, the Champions League Golden Boot, now can participate in the Champions League final, and may also win a European championship medal. Every honor is very difficult for ordinary players, and he has won it all in one season.

However, when Benitez read the starting list, Don Jack was not among them.

Benitez's reason is: "Jack, your transfer has just been finalized, and you may be a little excited. It's not suitable to play now. Let's see the performance of your teammates on the bench." This sentence made the whole team frown.

Even Carragher, who has a conflict with Don Jack, thinks that Benitez has done too much. The starting list was originally finalized, but it is too narrow to exclude Don Jack because of the current transfer announcement. Anyway, they are all professional players. Professional players transfer is very common, but the Spaniards are clear. It's kind of aimed at Don Jack.

"Okay..." Jack Don could only say with a gloomy face.

Now he is more convinced that his decision to leave Liverpool is right. How can such a head coach lead the team to glory!?

※※※

In fact, the news that Don Jack can participate in the Champions League final has been announced as early as a week.

Everyone knows that Don Jack is going to play, and media reporters are also concerned about this, because Don Jack has not played for Liverpool for more than a month in a row, but even so, Don Jack is still the top scorer in the Premier League and the Champions League. Such a player's absence is a great loss to Liverpool.

"Jack will explode!"

According to the analysis of The Sun, AC Milan must cross the level of Don Jack if they want to win the European championship over Liverpool. Their Italian defense must stand the test. Only in this way can AC Milan win.

The English media is full of confidence in Don Jack.

Other sports media also believe that the victory or defeat of the game is likely to be due to Don Jack. In addition to Don Jack, the lineup gap between Liverpool and AC Milan is too big. It is very easy for Ancelotti's team to win Liverpool without Don Jack, so as long as Don Jack has a very good shot. It's not difficult for Liverpool to win, but if this black-haired boy's performance is unstable, then Liverpool will basically lose!

The Italian media is optimistic. They think that even if Liverpool has a complete lineup, it is still not the opponent of AC Milan. The brunette boy is really powerful, but they also have Shepchenko. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead is very powerful and in a very stable state. They also have a series of Kaka, Pirlo and so on. The world's top star players are not afraid of Liverpool at all.

But none of these media expected that Liverpool head coach Benitez would not let Don Jack play!

At noon the next day, the Ataturk Stadium was already overcrowded. Reporters from all over the world flocked to interview the players and coaches of the two teams before the game. Many fans from the two teams were also interviewed.

"I believe the team will win!"

A Liverpool fan who came to Istanbul said firmly, "I believe Jack, he can score two goals today!" Moreover, it is not surprising that we can defeat Juventus and AC Milan. Juventus can't see Jack's heroism, so let AC Milan see what the best striker in the world looks like. Jack will surprise them!"

The reporter immediately asked the fan about Don Jack's transfer. "Yes, I know Jack is going to transfer. The club sold him to Newcastle, which is a respectable club. I feel about Newcastle. But before that, Jack still belongs to Liverpool. He is going to play the Champions League final for Liverpool!"

Not all fans think so. Some extreme Liverpool fans are dissatisfied, but most of them have a peaceful attitude---

Jack is leaving Liverpool! I don't know what the club is doing. How can such a player be sold..."

"I like the old Jack, and I was shocked to hear the news."

"Now I just hope that Jack can perform well and strive to bring the championship to the team. As for his transfer, I don't want to express my opinion yet. Now the most important thing is the game!"

......

Most fans hold the view of 'after the game' before the game. They think that the most important thing at present is the game, not the transfer of Don Jack. Any dissatisfaction or problems can be said after the game. The key is that things off the court can't affect Liverpool's game.

But they never thought that Benitez would not let Don Jack play.

The news was also known by the media reporters two hours before the game, and the fans immediately knew it after that.

"Jack is not on the starting list. Why?" Many reporters asked.

Benitez said, "He has a slight injury to his right leg. I think he'd better stay on the bench. The doctor also suggested it. You know, although the team's game is important, the player's physical condition is more important..."

Don Jack was not present at that time. If he heard Benitez say that he did not play, I'm afraid he would leave Istanbul in anger and fly back to Liverpool directly!

But the media reporters are not clear. Even so, many reporters and fans are still dissatisfied with this decision, because they know that this is likely to be a recussion. Yesterday, Newcastle United just announced the finalization of the transfer. Is this brunette boy not feeling well today? Did this Spaniard deliberately prevent Don Jack from playing?

Many people have already guessed this.

Benitez has repeatedly stressed that it is an injury problem. Jack Don can't be interviewed, and media reporters have no choice. Some media can only speculate, by the way, 'Liverpool will be defeated'.

There is no doubt about it!

The focus of this game is the collision of the stars of Don Jack and AC Milan. There is nothing to play in Liverpool and AC Milan without Don Jack. There is no suspense in this game. Everyone thinks so. Some reporters began to ask Benitez about how to play the game. Their The words don't sound good.

"Mr. Benitez, what do you think of this must-lose game?"

"Must lose?" Benitez looked up at the Italian reporter below and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you talking about AC Milan?"

"Of course it's Liverpool!"

"We will win!"

"But Jack didn't play." The reporter smiled and said, "Jack didn't play. Oh, my God, Mr. Ancelotti's layout is wasted, but it's really good. AC Milan is going to easily win the European championship trophy." The gloating smile looked Benitez gritting his teeth.

Unfortunately, this is not Liverpool. He has no right to kick the reporter out.

The English media are silent. They don't know what to ask. They are even a little unacceptable. Jack can't appear? What's the suspense of such a game? What is obvious is that AC Milan will use a strong star lineup to overwhelm Liverpool, and the UEFA Champions Cup final will also become boring.

Bideline, this Spaniard is surprisingly stubborn...
