Chapter 471 Fortune Teller Gerald

Previously, under Houllier, the atmosphere within Liverpool was one of unity and closeness.

Yang Yang once heard people say that Houllier is the kind of head coach who can mix with the players.

But this situation was completely changed after the arrival of Benitez.

In the words of Captain Gerrard, Benitez is one of those types. He bumped into him head-on in a narrow corridor, and he would not politely ask you how you are doing, whether your family is okay or not.

"If he opens his mouth, he must tell you what you didn't do well in the last game and how to play in the next game."

"I feel like there is only football in his life!"

Gradually, this sense of distance brought by the manager also changed Liverpool.

It is obvious that Liverpool's away games are frequent changes of roommates.

When explaining this rule, the coaching staff told Yang Yang that it was to help players get to know each other.

But Yang Yang has also heard a statement in private. It is said that when Benitez first came to power, in order to disintegrate the small team in the locker room, because Gerrard, Carragher, Riise, Harman and Murphy were used at that time A group of players headed by came very close.

The exact reason, no one knows, but the rules have slowly continued.

After the team returned to England from Eindhoven, they headed south to London.

Liverpool's away game against Chelsea is another noon, the time is 13:30.

This is a very depressing time because it is not easy to prepare.

In order to better prepare for this game, Liverpool went south a day earlier and checked into a hotel in London.

Yang Yang's roommate was Xavi Alonso's turn.

...

Xavi Alonso is a gentleman on and off the pitch.

He likes to read books, and he always reads some books that make Yang Yang very troublesome, such as philosophy...

However, he saw it with relish and had the potential to be a philosopher.

Yang Yang likes to study his opponents before a match, a habit that has been going on since the Ajax days, and Benitez's coaching staff also respects his habit and allows him to bring his own laptop.

Before each game, Yesterdam would prepare a complete opponent data for him like Luther Carroll in the past, and from these data, Yang Yang could feel the meticulousness of Liverpool's preparations.

The first time I saw it was in the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers against Israel's Maccabi Haifa.

This team is unknown and is far away in Israel, and it is very difficult to find their information.

But Benitez's team has prepared a stack of thick files for this, as well as multiple DVDs.

The dossier has 30 or 40 pages and contains detailed information on each of Maccabi Haifa's players, their strengths and weaknesses, how they attack, how they defend, how fast they counterattack, and what they often do in the game. tactical change...

So much information shows the level of intentions of the Benitez team.

And this is just an Israeli underdog.

Like Chelsea who will meet tomorrow, the dossier is over 60 pages long, and there are a dozen DVDs.

However, the coaching staff won't push all of this directly on the players, that'll just make the players spin.

To be honest, there are very few players who really like to read, all of them are a bunch of scumbags, including Gerrard.

Therefore, the coaching staff will summarize the files and materials, filter out the information that they find useful and must be reminded, and finally convey it to the players in the pre-match preparation meeting of about 20 minutes, and each person will be accompanied by a page of alignment. adversary report.

Yang Yang is used to preparing the night before the game, so he will get more and more complete materials.

Harvey Alonso sat silently by the bedside and read a book, while Yang Yang was reading pre-match materials in front of the computer, while chatting with Su Ye who was far away in China on QQ. She was in a good mood recently.

Both auditions passed, and the other party seemed very satisfied.

"Our tutor said that these two plays are rare big productions, and being able to participate in the roles will be beneficial to my future development, and the other party is very sincere and promised to follow the three chapters of my contract. However, before signing the contract, It's hard to say anything."

Yang Yang said with a smile that there must be no problem, and he will definitely make time to visit the class at that time.

But he also knows that the competition in the domestic entertainment industry is still very fierce. For example, some artists will take the initiative to invest in the crew in order to grab roles. Therefore, it is really hard to say before signing a contract.

"Don't worry, I will take it as an opportunity to learn." Su Ye was free and easy.

She has been rehearsing with a drama crew of China Opera recently, and the schedule is quite substantial.

...

Yesterdam came to patrol the room and knocked on the door to remind the players to rest.

Yang Yang closed the computer, brushed his teeth and washed his face, lay on the bed, and was about to enter the super training ground.

His amazing sleep ability quickly caused shock in Liverpool, and almost everyone who had been roommates with him would recite the painful memories of being roommates with Yang Yang enviously the next morning.

But just as he was about to fall asleep, Harvey Alonso, who had not spoken all night in the next bed, suddenly made a sound.

"A few days ago, Gerrard said that he had a hunch that we would enter the Champions League final this season. He said that this is the call of fate and a test for us."

In the darkness, the voice of Harvey Alonso came.

Yang Yang was a little surprised, but replied with a smile, "He should change his career to fortune-telling."

Xavi Alonso also smiled lightly, "But I hope his hunch is true."

Yang Yang is silent, this is everyone's hope.

After all, it is the Champions League, the highest honor that all professional players dream of.

Even if he has won it once, Yang Yang still hopes to have the opportunity to win the second time, and he will win it once as an absolute main force to make up for his regret that he stopped in the semi-finals last season.

"Winning the Champions League twice in three years is definitely an exhilarating feat. It has opened up a new dynasty and will also leave us a deep legacy in the history of professional football." Xavi Alonso's tone There is longing.

Liverpool's performance in the Champions League last season was not outstanding, but this season with the addition of Yang Yang, the team's attacking problems have been alleviated, and everyone has begun to rekindle hope and fighting spirit.

Even a young man like Xavi Alonso is full of blood and passion in his bones.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the room was silent.

Yang Yang opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling, his eyes seemed to light up in the dark.

He is also looking forward to it, and even his desire for the Champions League is definitely no less than anyone else's.

He has been training hard and playing hard for it.

He hopes that one day, he will be able to stand at the top of the Champions League as the main core, and be able to attend major awards as the winner. performance on the field.

But soon, he closed his eyes and entered the super training ground.

It's no use dreaming, he needs to do it.

"There's no one on Chelsea's flank!"

On the morning of the game, Liverpool held a pre-match tactical preparation meeting in the hotel, and Benitez went directly to the topic.

After Duff's move to Newcastle, Robben was injured again before the start of the new season and has missed four games so far, making Chelsea's wing basically uncompetitive.

"I can conclude that in this game Chelsea will definitely focus on the middle, Shevchenko will start, Drogba is also indispensable, so they will arrange a combination of two strikers, the middle will accumulate a lot of troops, but there is no effective side. Road, so they will definitely be worse in efficiency, and this is our chance!"

Benitez is going to take Kuyt in this game, because the Dutchman played the full game against PSV and needs to be rotated, but Peter Crouch and Yang Yang will start as many as they can, on the right. Will let Pennant start.

"Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko, our midfield does not suffer at all, but when attacking, we have to try to widen the width and make full use of our wing advantages."

Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko are the double midfielders behind, and Gerrard is the free man in the frontcourt.

Yang Yang's attacking power on the wing goes without saying. Whether it's a cross from the bottom or an inside score, he is a sharp knife, and is currently Liverpool's sharpest attacking ace. He will definitely be Chelsea in this game. The most important object of defense.

It is not without reason to choose Pennant on the right, because Pennant was the king of crosses in the Premier League last season.

Benitez's request to Pennant is to create kills on the right flank and pass to create opportunities.

At the same time, Benitez's requirements for the two full-backs are also more clear, that is, to actively participate in the attack.

His choice is Finnan on the right and Aurelio on the left, both offensive and defensive players.

For Chelsea's use of soldiers, Benitez also speculated. Terry, Carvalho and Ashley Cole are not in suspense, and the right back with Yang Yang, he thinks it will be the Dutch Bora Luz .

"He's obviously more familiar with you than Ferreira, because he's played a few games with you in the Eredivisie, and he's been in very good form this season, and he's been hailed by Mourinho as Mr. Zero, and I want you to do that. The trick is to carve out a breach in Chelsea's defence from him!"

Yang Yang didn't have many impressions of Bolla Luz before, but the materials given by the coaching staff were very complete, so Yang Yang is no stranger to reading him now, and also knows the strength of the Dutch international who has played in Varvik and Hamburg. Not bad.

But he still nodded confidently and accepted the task.

"Don't worry, after tonight, he is no longer Mr. Zero Error, but should become Mr. Error!"

Yang Yang smiled lightly.

The bigger the game, the more excited he felt.

And he is eager to do better at Stamford Bridge, not just for Liverpool, but to prove himself.

Before, Abramovich was not interested in Yang Yang for the sake of Shevchenko, but now, Yang Yang just wanted to let him know how wrong and stupid the original choice was.
