After deciding not to continue buying new players, there are other issues. Press ctrl+d to quickly collect """
A very important thing is the integration of new Liverpool players into the team.
It is necessary to ensure that every new player who joins the team can integrate into the team as soon as possible and adapt to daily life in Liverpool, so that they can train and compete without any distractions and display their true level.
For this, the three captains have to play a big role.
They are the bridge of communication between the locker room and the head coach. If there are any problems in the locker room, they can report to the head coach, and then the head coach will find a solution.
"I don't think there's any problem," Gerrard said. "Thornton, McCarthy, Kelly and Smithies have all played in the English league for many years. Kelly and Smithies are even simply English. It will not be a problem for them to adapt to life in Liverpool and our football style. .”
"Thornton has absolutely no problems at all!" Chen Yingxiong also added. But that's all he said, because it was not appropriate for him to tell his head coach more than that...
Thornton and Balotelli have a good relationship. The two of them once played with the same woman, which shows what Thornton's character is like.
Yes, he is very playful and loves to play.
Therefore, the Eat, Drink and Play Band is simply tailor-made for Thornton... He has no problem integrating into the team at all. On the first day he came to the team, he got in touch with Chen Yingxiong through Balotelli's relationship. Chen Yingxiong The hero also liked this Italian who had a lively personality and loved to play, and soon officially absorbed him into the eating, drinking and playing band. With the help of several members of the Eat, Drink and Play band, is it possible that Thornton is not adapting to the team and life in Liverpool?
Gerald turned his head and glanced at Chen Yingxiong. Of course he knew what Chen Yingxiong meant.
Martin O'Neill also gave Chen Yingxiong a meaningful look. He knew it in his heart, but even Chen Yingxiong knew that some things were not easy to say in person, so naturally he would not say it in person...
"Where's Pepe?" He turned to ask another person.
Martin O'Neill's question must be answered by Reina.
Reina is Spanish, and Pepe is from Real Madrid in La Liga. There is no language barrier between the two, so Reina has always been helping Pepe integrate into the team.
As soon as he heard the head coach's question, Reina smiled: "Boss, let me tell you a joke..."
"Um?"
"Pepe had only been here a few days and he told me that he particularly liked the Premier League."
"how?"
"Because many of his actions here will not be called fouls, they are normal and reasonable defensive actions! He said that in Spain, these actions of his are at least a yellow card... He now feels that he no longer has to play football with shackles ”
Gerald and the hero next to him both laughed.
After hearing this, Martin O'Neill also had a smile on his face.
He knows that Pepe should have no problem adapting to the style of English football. There is also someone to take care of things in life, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
The only problem is Gotze, he is German, and there is no German in Liverpool's squad. However, Klashnic has played in the Bundesliga for many years, and he and Gotze can quite understand each other in terms of language, and the two can still chat. But in terms of adapting to the team's tactics and life in Liverpool, Klashnic could not help him much.
But Gotze is one of the most important players in Martin O'Neill's plan. He must ensure his condition, perform at his own level, and get many playing opportunities. If his condition is not good, he does not cooperate with his teammates tacitly, and he is unable to adapt to life and football here, it will be a disaster for both Gotze and Liverpool.
Gotze's problem must be solved.
And we can't just let Klashnic help Gotze, there must be a captain to help him.
Martin O'Neill crossed the faces of the three captains.
Gerrard mainly helps English players adapt to the team, Reina helps Pepe, Chen Yingxiong helps Thornton...hell, what kind of help is he? Thornton doesn't need his help either! Let him help Gotze!
"Hero, please help Gotze and help him adapt to the team and life here." Martin O'Neal bit "life" very hard.
Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"
Martin O'Neill nodded.
"It's you."
"But I don't speak German!"
"Football is a universal language and I believe you can find a common language through football itself."
Chen Yingxiong seemed to roll his eyes. This was said too lightly. If football could be used as a lingua franca, there would not be so many examples of players sinking in the new environment because of language barriers.
"Don't worry, hero, Gotze is working hard to learn English. He also hopes to succeed in Liverpool. He is a very motivated person..." Niang saw Chen Yingxiong's dissatisfaction, and he comforted and explained with a smile .
What else could Chen Yingxiong say?
He shrugged helplessly: "Okay, I'll just agree. But I don't guarantee it will be effective. I'll do my best."
"Your words are enough. We all know that you are a person who keeps his word and must do what he says." Martin O'Neill took advantage of the situation to put a high hat on Chen Yingxiong. Of course, he forced Chen Yingxiong to do what he said. Mission accomplished.

Next, continue the meeting to discuss the topic.
Everyone talked and talked about the mission goals for the new season.
Last season's league championship goal was also determined by everyone in the pre-season meeting.
This season also requires setting a goal.
Last season we were the league champions, so what will we do this season?
"I think we should defend the league title first," Gerrard said. "First consolidate our domestic advantage. Completely defeat Manchester United so that they are not powerless to resist, and then develop towards Europe."
The core idea of Gerrard's proposal is that "we must first settle the domestic situation in order to fight against foreign aggression." This is a very reasonable proposal.
Reina and Martin O'Neill both nodded in agreement and thought what Gerrard said made sense.
Martin O'Neill himself thought so.
Judging from this summer's transfer market, Manchester United is not reconciled to the failure of last season. They want to rebuild their old mountains and rivers and start all over again. Therefore, in the domestic arena, Liverpool will face very cruel competition. If they are not careful, they may fall from the league championship position.
Anyway, Ferguson won't be able to work for a few more years. Martin O'Neill plans to completely suppress Manchester United in the country. After Ferguson retires and solves the threat of Manchester United, he will then consider making great achievements in the Champions League and win the sixth Champions League trophy for Liverpool.
But one person disagreed with this plan.
"Why do we have to win one championship every year?" Chen Yingxiong asked.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Chen Yingxiong meant by asking this question.
"Why can't we win several championships at the same time? Previously, it was because our lineup was thin and we were afraid that we would not be able to cope with multi-front operations. But this summer we bought so many people, why can we still only win one championship?" Chen Yingxiong continued. "We were league champions last season, why can't we win the Triple Crown this season?"
Hearing him say this, the mouths of the people next to him were so big that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Oh, no..."
They were slightly relieved - it seemed that Chen Yingxiong was still a normal person...
"It's a quadruple crown. England has one more cup. Why can't we win a quadruple crown?"
Everyone feels that they don’t understand the world of heroes...
Niang, on the other hand, looked at Chen Yingxiong with interest.
Gerrard reacted and asked: "Hero, we only won a league championship last season. This season you are going to win all the championships... Is this a step too big?"
Chen Yingxiong waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You have to take bigger steps and be more courageous... What are you afraid of?"
"Aren't you afraid that if you take too big a step and pull your balls?" Gerald hangs out with Chen Yingxiong all day long, and he knows the allusion of "shit".
Chen Yingxiong spread his hands and shrugged: "Don't be afraid. If you do a good warm-up, it won't matter. We bought so many people during the summer transfer period, isn't it just a warm-up?"
A group of people were surprised by Chen Yingxiong's confidence. You must know that he does not just have confidence in himself. If he had confidence in himself, everyone would not be surprised, because not only he has confidence in himself, but they also have confidence in him. But now this is a matter of confidence in the whole team. This is not something that Chen Yingxiong alone has the final say...
Competing for the championship cannot rely on you alone, but on the whole team. However, there will inevitably be some situations throughout the season, such as injuries to the main players, fatigue, bad luck, etc. Even one of these accidents could cost the team the championship.
Why does Chen Yingxiong dare to be so confident?
Of course they don't know that Chen Yingxiong is not confident, but is forced into a dead end. He has no other choice but to do this - he has to compete with Messi for the number of honors. If he follows the pace of one championship a year, everyone , he has to play until he is fifty. That's why he wants to grab all the championships the team can win in a season.
And not just this season, his goal remains the same in all subsequent seasons, it is this-to win all the championship honors he can.
This is not a question of whether you have self-confidence or not. Even if you don’t have self-confidence, you still have to do it. Because if you don’t try, you won’t even have the slightest chance of success. Chen Yingxiong just wanted to express his attitude, and he wanted to try to do this.
Unexpectedly, his proposal was not supported by everyone. Everyone felt that his idea was too crazy and had gone beyond the scope of normal madness to the point of losing his mind. If we follow his request, the team will be very tired and under a lot of pressure. As a result, the team may not wait until the end of the league and collapse.
In the end, everyone took Gerrard's suggestion and focused on the domestic league. Knocking their mortal enemy Manchester United to the ground completely, and then stepping on hundreds of millions of feet, they will never be able to stand up again.
Although he did not receive support, Chen Yingxiong was not discouraged. He knows that even if they focus on the domestic league, Liverpool cannot completely give up on several other competitions, especially the Champions League. Just like last season, the team reached the semi-finals last season. If they can finally reach the final, he doesn't believe that Martin O'Neill and Gerrard will really give up this final just to compete in the domestic league and Manchester United. High and low.
Last season I was not strong enough.
This time, he wouldn't let the same thing happen again.
Whether it's the domestic league, the Champions League, the FA Cup, or even the League Cup, he won't let it go!
If you don’t agree now, I will force you to accept this goal!
By then all three cups have reached the finals, I’ll see if you are willing to give up! I'm afraid even if I want to give up, you won't agree, right? ha!
