Chapter 469 Battle at Anfield ① (Ask for a Monthly Ticket)

"If I don't pay, it's not considered a sale." Fang Jue said immediately.

system:……

As a system, he has never seen such...

Then, the system panicked. Logically speaking, what Fang Jue said was not wrong.

Fang Jue has a characteristic, he is good at taking advantage of loopholes.

The system's momentary 'absence' was caught by him.

"Sure enough, I knew that this is okay, hurry up, the system, do some personnel work, hurry up."

"Hurry up, what are the suitable skills, hurry up."

"Giving freely is a virtue."

Fang Jue's mouth was like spitting out a poisonous tongue, and the system was a little overwhelmed.

It seems that the host is right.

There is no prohibition on gratuitous donations.

Huh?

The thief in Fang Jue's eyes immediately saw a skill card leaked by the system, and directly chose OK.

Almost as soon as he 'plagiarized' this skill card, he received a reminder from the system in his mind: the system has fixed a BUG, ​​and the behavior of giving free gifts to the host is prohibited from then on.

Fang Jue felt very sorry, the cunning fox of the system, reacted so quickly, it seems that such a good thing will never happen again.

"System, you don't want to be particular about this, forget it, I forgive you."

system:……

System prompt: The system has closed the dialogue and no longer wants to communicate with the host.

Bah, be careful.

Fang Jue felt lucky to have such a broad-minded host as himself, otherwise, the system would be bullied every day.

He no longer paid attention to the narrow-minded system, and began to study the skill card that he had fooled.

[Chasing the Wind Boy (Michael Owen) Possession Elementary Experience Card].

Whoa!

Good stuff.

The only regret is that it is only a primary experience card, and the time limit is only 45 minutes.

Forget it, if you get cheap and act good, Fang Jue has always been a kind and contented person.

However, this skill card also gave him a deeper understanding of the system. It seems that the system still has many treasures.

"System, it seems that you still have a lot of little secrets."

System prompt: The system does not want to ignore the host.

...

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is not in a good mood these days.

Liverpool's profit of 30.2 million pounds in the last financial year did not bring sufficient summer military expenditure. Most of the funds were used by the American owners to repay debts, which led to Benitez's lack of signings in the football market this summer.

Although Liverpool spent 20 million euros to introduce Aquilani from Rome, it cost 18.5 million euros to bring in Glenn Johnson from Portsmouth.

However, these transfer fees are not club funds, most of them are the transfer income from Liverpool's sale of Harvey Alonso to Real Madrid.

Lost Xavi. Alonso, the introduction of Aquilani, Liverpool's lineup strength is diminished.

Even more unfortunate is that Aquilani was injured when he first arrived.

In the first round of the league, Carragher accidentally injured his teammate Skrtel, so Liverpool immediately became unavailable in the central defender position.

At the press conference before the game, the media asked whether Liverpool could win the first English top league title in two decades this season.

Benitez seemed very angry, he directly stated that Liverpool's goal this season is to keep 4 and fight 1.

"We don't have any money. It's not like some clubs are rich, but they don't have much investment." Benitez, who was in a bad mood, didn't forget to make fun of his old rival Manchester United.

When asked about the match against Aston Villa, Benitez finally regained his composure, "Aston Villa in the new season is impressive, but we are confident that we can win at home. Opponent, this is Anfield."

That's right.

Liverpool reporters don't think Benitez is talking big. Even if Liverpool's strength is damaged, it is not something that Aston Villa can resist. What's more, at Anfield, Liverpool really sees whoever they are. .

Some reporters used Benitez's "must win" remarks to provoke Fang Jue.

"He's right. Liverpool are indeed very strong. They were runners-up in the league last season. At Anfield, we will face a tough battle." Fang Jue was not fooled.

"Benitez is a great coach. When I was coaching in Spain, I always heard people talking about Benitez's story."

"He's a winner, a real winner."

The coaches of the two sides did not quarrel, and the reporters were a little disappointed.

...

"This is Anfield, home of great Liverpool."

A tour guide speaks with pride to his tour group outside Anfield.

These Chinese tourists took digital cameras, mobile phones, and professional cameras and took snaps at the main gate of the stadium.

"Scatter! Spread! Don't gather!"

"Quick pass! Don't stop!"

"Don't throw wine bottles around!"

A mounted policeman on a tall horse shouted with a loudspeaker.

He was yelling at the Liverpool fans.

The Chinese tourists watched in amazement the fans wearing red Liverpool jerseys gathered from all directions, gathered around the square outside the stadium, waiting to enter the stadium.

"Mike, is there a game today?" A Chinese tourist asked.

"In the Premier League game, Liverpool played against Aston Villa at home." Tour guide Mike said.

"Wow, it's Aston Villa."

"It's that handsome coach's team."

"Yes, yes, it's Fang Jue's team."

"Can Aston Villa win today, Mike."

"Ah, that's impossible! We are Liverpool!" Mike said decisively, and he just remembered that the head coach of Aston Villa is Chinese. No wonder these Chinese fans support Aston Villa one after another.

This made Mike a little upset.

Although he got along very well with these Chinese tourists before, at this moment, the British tour guide "six relatives do not recognize", "Stop asking this bad question again, Liverpool will definitely win Aston Villa."

"what."

"That's a pity."

To Mike's surprise, these Chinese tourists were not angry when they heard him say that, and no one argued with him.

"Mike, we are not fans, don't worry, no one is arguing with you." A tourist said with a smile.

He is right, most of these people are not fans, at least they are not fans of Aston Villa. They 'supported' Aston Villa's remarks just now, more out of verbal support for their compatriot Fang Jue, That's all.

Chinese are very well-behaved abroad, no one will cause trouble, and will not quarrel with tour guides because of such trivial matters.

There were only a few little girls muttering there, probably saying that if Aston Villa loses, Fang Jue must be unhappy and feel distressed.

Mike also laughed, he understood that these tourists, especially those girls, are not fans, they just want to see that the coach of Vera is handsome.

"Can I still buy tickets to watch the game?" someone asked.

"No more." Mike shook his head, looking enviously at the Red Army fans who were about to enter the stadium, "Anfield, it's never been possible to buy tickets temporarily."

"Or, find us a place to watch the game." Someone suggested.

"That's a good idea."

"Go to the bar and experience watching football in a bar."

All the tourists said one after another.

Mike's heart was also moved. Originally, he planned to take these fans to the commercial street for shopping today. He could also earn dividends based on this. However, at this moment, the temptation of watching football is tormenting him.

Is it to make money?

Or watching football?

"You all want to go to the bar to watch the game?" Mike asked.

He swore that as long as a tourist objected, he would take them shopping on the commercial street as originally planned.

A few minutes later, Mike appeased a few fans who were unwilling to watch the game, and led the team straight to the bar.

...

The starting players have to wait for the debut ceremony.

Fang Jue led the substitute players and members of the coaching staff through the player corridor first.

Fang Jue looked up, he was looking at the famous slogan: This is Anfield.

Seeing this sentence widely publicized by the media, Fang Jue showed a pensive expression.

"Wow, so handsome." The female tourist shouted exaggeratedly.

Mike came to the bar with his tour group, just in time to see this scene in the live broadcast.

Mike curled his lips. He wanted to say that the guy was scared by Anfield, but he finally didn't open his mouth. He was afraid of offending the tourist patrons.

Players from both sides entered the field.

Huge cheers erupted at Anfield.

The live broadcast showed the starting lineups of both sides.

Liverpool lineup:

Goalkeeper: 25-Reina;

Defense: 2-Glen Johnson, 23-Carragher, 40-Ayala, 22-Insua;

Midfielder: 20- Mascherano, 21- Lucas, 18- Dirk, 8- Gerrard, 15- Benayoun;

Forward: 9-Torres;

"Skrtel was injured in the first round of the league, and Agger was also injured in training. Benitez can only use the young Daniel Ayala today."

On the TV in the bar, the voice of the commentator Lineker sounded.

"In this game, Ayala's performance deserves attention. Whether the young Spanish players can withstand the impact of Aston Villa is the key to whether Liverpool will concede a goal." John Mortensen said.

"Don't worry, the old Husky can't pose a threat to this young man." Tony Parker said.

Although Tony Parker's big mouth caused a lot of controversy, especially Aston Villa fans called to complain.

However, BBC5 appreciated the topicality and influence created by this loud-mouthed guest. This time, they simply asked Tony Parker to leave behind the scenes and come directly to the scene to comment on the match with Lineker and John Mortensen.

There is a saying among BBC5 executives that if this trio works well, they intend to continue.

...

The TV screen followed up with Aston Villa's starting lineup.

Aston Villa starting XI:

Goalkeeper: 1- Brand Friedel;

Defense: 2-Lukey Young, 24-Cuellar, 6-Felipe Senderos, 3-Wilfred Bauma;

Midfielder: 4-Clement, 19-Petrov, 7-Ashley Young, 8-Milner, 10-Deisler;

Forward: 18-Husky;

"It's also interesting to say. On Liverpool's side, elder brother was injured on the training ground. On Aston Villa's side, central defender Davidson was injured during warm-up. Therefore, Swiss central defender Senderos temporarily replaced him."

"This is also the first time Senderos has played since he moved to Aston Villa." John Mortensen said, "Senderos here may be a breakthrough for Liverpool."

"It's like Aston Villa will focus on Daniel Ayala." Lineker said with a laugh.

For the commentators, if there are more goals in this game because of these two accidents, it is naturally what they are most happy to see.

Amidst the huge cheers at Anfield, players from both sides lined up to enter the field.

The live radio is playing the names of the players from both sides.

When the names of Liverpool players were announced, the atmosphere was warm and there was constant applause.

And when the names of the players of the visiting team Aston Villa were read, there were no harsh boos at Anfield.

In fact, Liverpool and Aston Villa have no old grudges. On the contrary, the relationship between the two teams is quite good.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Aston Villa is one of Liverpool's best friends in the Premier League. Liverpool also takes good care of Aston Villa. Two years ago, Aston Villa had no goalkeeper available. Liverpool Immediately loan the young England goalkeeper Carson to Villa at a low price.

Prior to this, Liverpool sold the Czech international Baros to Villa at an extraordinary price.

When Aston Villa visited Anfield last season, Aston Villa captain Barry was also seen entering the Liverpool dressing room at half-time, chatting and laughing with Liverpool's stars.

In fact, this is also understandable. Aston Villa is strong, but there is no threat to Liverpool. The relationship between such younger brothers is good. At the critical moment, it is best not to let Aston Villa release the water. At least it can allow Aston Villa to help stop Manchester United or Chelsea or Arsenal.

This kind of big brother-little brother relationship is very common in the Premier League.

Chelsea's younger brothers are West Ham United and Portsmouth.

Manchester United's hardcore younger brothers include Everton and Fulham.

For example, Fulham, Manchester United and Fulham can almost be called brothers. This team, known as the nemesis of the Red Devils, has repeatedly scored 3 points at Old Trafford. Fang Jue is very impressed. At that time, the Japanese star Junichi Inamoto had an incredible expression after he scored a lob shot past Manchester United. At the Krakowen Farm Stadium, Fulham could also give the Red Devils a three-pointer at a critical moment.

Manchester United's good friends also include Aston Villa. The relationship between Manchester United and Aston Villa can be traced back to when Colombian striker Angel joined Villa. Manchester United paid 1/3 of Villa's transfer fee to River Plate at that time. , Villa is also very grateful, home and away sent enough 6 points, tacit understanding between the two sides.

Of course, this is a conspiracy theory, and it involves relegation or competition for a place in the European war.

In addition, the relationship between Aston Villa and Chelsea is also good.

Yes, the relationship between Aston Villa and the traditional top three of the Premier League is good.

With the same style as Aston Villa, West Ham United...

Why is it the traditional top three? This is because Arsenal are a bit out of the gregarious. In recent years, apart from buying Walcott from Southampton, they rarely spend money from other Premier League younger brothers...

Players who are not used by the family are rarely sold to younger brothers for free or at a discount, thinking that they can earn a little bit.

The younger brother seldom benefits from you, so naturally the relationship is very ordinary.

...

Closer to home.

Players from both sides enter the field and line up.

Players from the visiting team Aston Villa took the initiative to shake hands with Liverpool players and the referee.

The captains of the two teams exchange team flags.

Guess the side of the coin.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard lost a coin toss to Aston Villa captain Petrov.

Therefore, Aston Villa won the right to pick a side, and Liverpool kicked off first.

Seeing this result, Fang Jue shook his head off the court, "Actually, I prefer that we kick off first."

Facing a strong opponent like Liverpool in an away game, it is best to be able to get the kick-off right, control the football at your feet from the beginning of the game, and then be able to control and influence the rhythm of the game as much as possible.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, our tactic is to defend and counterattack, and the ball is nothing at the feet of Liverpool." Ceballos said.

Fang Jue glanced at his partner. Ceballos' words are correct, but specific opponents need to be analyzed in detail.

At Anfield, Fang Jue knew that his team could not show weakness too much, because once Liverpool kicked up, it would be hard to save.

Must be tough!

After several years of cooperation, he finally understood that his assistant was indeed... just a material for being an assistant.

Fang Jue arranged for him to do something, and he was able to do a very good job according to Fang Jue's requirements.

However, if Ceballos is left alone, he doesn't have that ability.

However, Fang Jue was very relieved, because Ceballos was indeed his good helper.

The two have been working together for almost three years, and they are in perfect harmony.

Of course, Fang Jue also has a plan for the situation that Liverpool may kick off first.

"It seems that you are very confident." Fang Jue teased Ceballos.

"I have confidence in you," Ceballos said.

Fang Jue chuckled. What he liked most about Ceballos was that he was an honest man, very impressive, and liked to tell the truth.

...

"This game is the first meeting between Benitez and Fang Jue." Lineker said, "I'm looking forward to who will be the better of the two."

Lineker's words attracted Tony Parker's rebuttal.

"Gary, I admit that Fang Jue is relatively good, but he still cannot be compared with Benitez."

It can’t be said that Tony Parker deliberately raised the bar. To the audience, his words still have some truth:

Fang Jue is a champion young coach, a popular young coach, but what is Benitez? He is a champion coach who has been famous for many years, and he is a coach who has won the European Champions Cup. You can count them on your hands.

"The game has begun!" At this moment, John Mortensen said.

With the whistle of the on-duty referee Lee Tyson, the game began.

Torres kicked the football to Benayoun, turned and ran forward.

The latter took advantage of the opportunity to knock the football to Dirk, and he ran forward by himself.

One of the tactics Benitez formulated for Liverpool was to try to take advantage of the kick-off once Liverpool got the kick-off to put strong pressure on Aston Villa's half-court.

Why do you say 'one of the tactics'?

According to statistics from the media, as a "tactical master", Benitez will record at least five or six tactics for Liverpool in an average game. At the craziest time, he will make eight or nine tactical records for a game.

The "Sun", which has a very bad relationship with Liverpool, even sarcastically said that Liverpool sometimes did not play well because the players were confused by Benitez's tactics.

Milner stuck on Dirk, and no matter how the Dutch got rid of it, they couldn't get rid of the nougat.

With some reluctance, Louit passed the football to Gerrard.

As soon as the Liverpool captain took the ball, Deisler entangled him. At the same time, Petrov also came to double-team.

In desperation, Gerrard chose to pass football back to Mascherano.

As soon as Mascherano got the ball, Clemente pressed up.

Mascherano chose to pass to Insua who passed to the wing.

As soon as Insua took the ball, he saw Milner rushing in front of him. He chose to dunk the football, trying to dunk Milner, and then moved forward calmly.

However, Insua obviously underestimated the difficulty of Milner, and he was entangled by Milner.

"Pass it out! Don't dawdle! Pass it out!" Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina shouted.

The goalkeeper is the one with the clearest vision and the best overall view.

Reina sees it most clearly from the position of the goalkeeper. Aston Villa's crazy frontcourt press has rushed forward. If Insua wants to continue playing with fire in the backcourt, once the ball is intercepted, he will be the goalkeeper. It's the one that's going to be unlucky.

I don't know if Insua heard Reina's cry, anyway, he didn't do that. He didn't choose to clear the football decisively, but swiped the football to get rid of and get past Milner.

Fang Jue got up on the sidelines. He stared at the field, his eyes twinkling with anticipation. He focused on studying several Liverpool players, including Insua. Excellent, besides, the technology is not bad.

Also, as a South American player, I am very confident in my small skills, and sometimes I will stick to the ball... To put it bluntly, I will get a disease called "Uncomfortable Sky" at some point.

And Milner is the good medicine that Fang Jue prescribed for Insua when he might have committed this kind of illness.
