Chapter 33: Is the time ripe? (First update, please vote for me)

Gotze began to gradually integrate into the team, and Martin O'Neill was relieved.

In the second round of the league, Liverpool will return to their home stadium to face Stoke City at Anfield.

This is a game with no suspense for Liverpool.

The only suspense may be whether Gotze can get a chance to play in the game. In the last round of the league, Gotze didn't get a single minute of game time.

That's why the media speculated after the game.

Martin O'Neill does not intend to let Gotze play. He intends to continue to let Gotze sit on the bench. He will first feel the atmosphere of the Premier League on the bench and at the same time cool down the recent "Gotze problem".

In order to prevent Gotze from having any thoughts, he also went to talk to Gotze and told him his plans, telling him not to have too many selfish thoughts and so on, and to train with peace of mind, and wait until he is ready, and be on the training ground. After he shows it, he will naturally see it, and then he will be allowed to play.

This is where Martin O'Neill differs from most other head coaches.

He is a person who is good at communicating with players, and he does not have the airs of a famous coach. This may be related to the fact that he has never really become a famous coach. Anyway, he doesn't want some head coaches to put on too much airs - what I say is an edict, you must listen even if you listen, and you must listen even if you don't listen!

Moreover, after working with Chen Yingxiong for two seasons, even if he had a temper, it was worn away. So now, no matter who the opponent is, he can put down his posture, talk to the players patiently, explain, and dispel their doubts.

In fact, this kind of communication method is the correct way to achieve harmony within the team.

But it sounds simple, how many people can do it? People always have tempers. If you are rude to me, why should I be polite to you? If you show off your face to me, I will definitely let you see the coach's methods... If you go back and forth like this, the relationship will be completely destroyed.

Martin O'Neal is not very famous, and he is far from being a famous coach in the world.

But precisely because of this, he is low-key and humble enough. Such a person is the most suitable head coach for the Liverpool team.

I have to say that Niang has a very accurate vision and chooses people well.

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill believes that as long as there is communication, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Sure enough, when he explained his thoughts to Gotze, Gotze also expressed his understanding. He does feel that he is not familiar with English football yet. Perhaps watching it on the bench and observing more will help him deepen his understanding of this country's football.

Gotze is not worried that he will be completely reduced to a substitute because of this. As long as he is allowed to play, when he is ready, he firmly believes that he will seize the opportunity. By then, he will never be a substitute again!

Martin O'Neill is very satisfied with Gotze's performance.

Before the game against Stoke City, he first announced the starting lineup to the team. Gotze continued to be on the substitute list. Some people had already turned to look at him. They seemed to think that Gotze performed well in training, but they There was no starter, which surprised them.

This situation has not happened before. In the past, most Liverpool players did not care whether Gotze started. Because many people don't think Gotze is one of their own.

It's different now. With Chen Yingxiong's help, Gotze's own initiative, and the reporter's incident, more and more Liverpool players regard him as one of their own.

Naturally, more people began to care about Gotzeler.

After hearing that he did not start, some people expressed concern and surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, Gotze's expression was calm and he didn't seem to be hit at all by not being able to start.

Everyone has no objections to Gotze, and they themselves have no objections.

On the day of the game, after the starting list was announced, the media still paid attention to Gotze's continued substitution.

Although Chen Yingxiong continued to harass Gotze no less than them, normal comments were still acceptable.

Gotze is still the substitute, which seems to have strengthened the doubts in the minds of reporters.

Although Chen Yingxiong didn't let them say it, he couldn't stop them from thinking.

Chen Yingxiong has no control over what people think. He can't possibly go into other people's heads and turn their brains into tofu, right?

They heard that Gotze's performance in training has improved, so now it is not Gotze's problem, but Martin O'Neill's problem... Why does Martin O'Neill insist on not using Gotze? Is it because he has any prejudice against Gotze? This is really worth exploring...

※ ※ ※

Gotze did not play, so the media's thoughts were still on Gotze. This is because the game itself had no suspense and there was nothing to say. It was just that Liverpool won again and Chen Yingxiong went on a killing spree...

Everyone was tired of these things last season, and there is nothing new about them at all.

That's why they pay so much attention to Gotze, because Gotze is something that has never happened before in this Liverpool team and is worthy of their tracking.

The match between Liverpool and Stoke City is indeed as the media said, there is no suspense at all.

Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0 at home!

Only five minutes into the game, Liverpool scored. Sanchez was the first to score. His shot from behind in the penalty area opened the scoring for the team.

Stoke City completely surrendered.

Liverpool's performance last season was too scary. When many teams came to Anfield to face Liverpool, they basically had no fighting spirit and confidence. Just think about losing less and winning instead.

Stoke City is such a team.

After Sanchez scored, everything became simple. The game once again entered a familiar rhythm for Liverpool.

Stoke City had no fighting spirit to begin with, and their performance after that became even worse.

Liverpool's goals came one after another.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game and scored his third league goal of the season.

But what the media is most concerned about is still not this, but Gotze sitting on the bench. The TV broadcast showed Gotze many shots, and they were basically close-ups, just to find clues from the expression on Gotze's face. .

But they were disappointed. Gotze's performance was no different from any ordinary Liverpool player - watching the game carefully and focused, occasionally chatting with his teammates around him, and when Liverpool scored, he would also join his teammates. Rush out of the bench, raise your arms to cheer for the goal, and then applaud your teammates who score.

I really can't see anything wrong with him.

※ ※ ※

In the end, relying on Chen Yingxiong's brace and goals from Sanchez and Skrtel, Liverpool won 4:0 at home.

At the post-game press conference, as soon as Martin O'Neal sat down in his seat, countless pairs of arms were raised.

The press officer clicked on someone, and that person stood up and was about to speak.

Martin O'Neill interrupted him and said urgently: "Let me state in advance that I will not answer any questions about Gotze. Okay, now you can start asking questions."

All the reporters in the audience looked at each other.

In Martin O'Neill's view, his approach is a kind of protection for Gotze. But in the minds of these reporters, it was ironclad evidence that O'Neal was impatient with Gotze.

It wasn't that Martin O'Neill's reminder had any effect, but that the reporter suddenly thought of Chen Yingxiong's threat.

So he shrank, and his question became: "We have won two consecutive games since the start of the season. May I ask Mr. Martin O'Neill, do you think your team is on the right path?"

This is nonsense among nonsense, the most worthless of all questions.

Even the reporters have already thought of the answer in advance - can O'Neal still say "No, our team is in the most difficult period in history, and we may be finished at any time"?

It can also be seen from this that everyone's thoughts are still on Mario Gotze.

How could Martin O'Neill not know? He felt that it was not a good thing to have these flies worrying about him all the time.

But Gotze was pushed to the forefront too early. Is Gotze really ready?

※ ※ ※

When Martin O'Neal was thinking about this issue, Chen Yingxiong had already asked the question directly: "Mario, do you want to play now?"

"Of course I do." Gotze nodded without hesitation.

"Are you ready?"

This time Gotze thought for a moment before nodding and said, "I think so. I'm ready."

Chen Yingxiong did not ask him questions such as "Why do you think you are ready" or "How do you prove that you are ready?" Instead, he patted the table and said: "Okay, then I'll tell the boss!"

This time it was Gotze's turn to be surprised.

Looking at Gotze's surprised expression, Chen Yingxiong explained: "I think only by letting you play and using your performance can you convince those idiots who are unwilling to give up. It's not up to me to decide who plays and who doesn't. So I have to talk to the boss and see if he is willing to give you a chance so soon."

Gotze thought of what Martin O'Neill said to him, saying that when the time was right, he would naturally make his appearance. But when will it be considered “the time is right”?

Is this considered the time is ripe?

Maybe a little early?

But I can't wait any longer.

He asked himself, thinking that he wanted to play. Although Martin O'Neill explained it to him, he also agreed. But there is always a fire burning in my heart.

I want to play, I want to play, I want to play...

In the fire, a voice kept mumbling.

He clenched his fists and didn't care!

Regardless of whether the time is considered ripe or not, Mario Gotze can't wait any longer.

If the time is not ripe enough, it is because you have never done it. If you don’t give it a try, how will you know if the time is ripe?

Even if you are immature, as long as you try a few more times, won't you become mature?

There is no road in the world. When many people walk, there is a road.

There is no such thing as a mature time in the world. There will be one when more people try.

Aren’t things in this world all like this?
