The most low-key superstar

Chapter 161
"Mr. Benitez, the club attaches great importance to your achievements since coaching the team and recognizes your efforts. However, as an iconic club of English football, Liverpool has not won the league title for too long. The highest honor, we believe you are very clear about this."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

"This is very good. On this basis, our conversation today has reached a basic consensus, that is, Liverpool must strive for this year's league championship."

Benitez felt very uncomfortable. He knew that his Liverpool coaching career might be over soon. The words of the club chairman revealed a very simple truth, that is, if you want to stay, then use the league championship to guarantee it.

"Mr. Benitez, according to the current situation in the league, we have reason to believe that the Red Army's chances of winning the championship are already in danger. What is your plan for this?"

"I think the away game against Manchester United in the next round of the league is the beginning of our re-attack to the championship. I and the players share this belief."

"Then I will stand behind you with all the Liverpool fans and cheer for your fight."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, we will never let the fans down."

Benitez stared at the players in front of him, recalling the ultimatum given to him by the club president before he went out.

"Gentlemen, today is the toughest test in our quest for glory. Our arch-enemies and old rivals, Manchester United, are waiting for us to fight. You also know that if we want to maintain the There is enough pressure on the leaders, so today we have to win."

After saying this, Benitez looked around at the silent players and continued his speech, "If we want to win, then we must show our greatest courage, use an unstoppable momentum, keep perseverance The spirit to fight against the opponent, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Under the leadership of captain Gerrard, the players responded loudly.

"Are you confident?"

"Have!"

"Very good, I am also confident, I will fight with you! We must win!" Benitez ended his speech with a hysterical cry.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!" Everyone stood up and raised their hands and shouted.

"Okay, you guys rest for a while and get ready. After the game, let's head home together." After speaking, Benitez led the coaching staff out of the locker room. The moment the door opened, Manchester United fans came. The high-pitched singing, as the door closed again, the room fell silent again.

Gerrard felt a little heavy in his heart. He knew that the club was in a delicate situation. Although the club spokesman reiterated his absolute support for the head coach at the press conference yesterday, Gerrard, as the banner of the Red Army, once fought with the club. The chairman had a conversation, and the club brought up the idea of ​​changing the head coach to him and asked Gerrard for his opinion.

Gerrard clearly remembered that he answered this way, "Now the club is in a very critical period. The Champions League and the league are to be contested. Now is not a good time to change coaches. If necessary, it will be appropriate after the end of the season. time."

'Mr. Benitez, that's all I can do. Next, it depends on what we can get. Gerrard still recognizes Benitez, but he can't bear to say goodbye to the champion for a long time in pursuit of honor, so Gerrard, who is clear-headed, still wants to be in Bo once.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Gerrard came to the middle of the room, stretched out his hand, and gathered his teammates who were about to play, "We must win!"

"Definitely!"

Today, Nicole was a little excited. He put on the captain's armband. In such an important game, Ferguson handed over the responsibility of captain to himself. The key to gaining something, I hope you will pay attention to it, neither pay too much attention to the opponent, nor underestimate your own strength, I hope you can all be like a fighter, breaking through any obstacles that dare to prevent us from winning."

The announcer at the scene introduced the list of home players:
"Scholes!"

well!The fans let out a neat chants to show their support for the players.

"Our captain today, Nicole Williams!"

"Alas!" followed by applause.

Van der Sar guarded the goal, and the Dutch veteran was rejuvenated again. Not only did he achieve amazing results in Manchester United, but he also became the main force of the Dutch national team. It is a supplement. I didn't expect Ferguson to let him take on the heavy responsibility.

On the back line, although Neville has recovered from his injury, Brown is still starting. The world-class central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic sit in the middle. The Frenchman Evra is on the left.

In the midfield, Nickel and Scholes partnered, Fletcher and Park Ji-sung each defended the two sides, Rooney and Ronaldo came forward.

Benitez looked at Manchester United's lineup and couldn't help but scold Ferguson for being insidious.

Obviously, Ferguson, an old fox, has grasped the psychology that Benitez must win. Although the club declared its absolute support for Benitez, as Ferguson, who has been in English football for decades, it is to tell others that Benitez Tess was cornered.

Although it was at home, Ferguson still sent out a defensive-oriented lineup, which was to use quick counterattacks to deal with Liverpool.

Thinking of this, Benitez couldn't help but feel a little more worried about today's game. At this time, Gerrard looked at Benitez. As an experienced midfielder, Gerrard certainly saw it. Here's the mystery.

Benitez was very courageous. With a big wave of his hand, he asked the team to continue the plan made before the game and attack. Gerrard nodded clearly, but Benitez couldn't help but feel a little bit of bitterness in his heart, "Ferguson! , Ferguson, you make me have to attack. '

Thinking of this, Benitez couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Ferguson who was sitting there firmly.

"Beep!" The game started.

"The game started. Liverpool didn't mean to test anything. Torres received the pass. Be careful. Vidic's close press prevented the Spaniard from holding the ball."

“我们来看看利物浦的首发名单：守门员25号雷纳，后卫17号阿贝罗阿、23号卡拉格、37号斯科特尔、12号奥雷里奥，中场8号队长杰拉德、14号阿隆索、20号马斯切拉诺、19号巴贝尔，前锋9号托雷斯、18号库伊特。”

In a very inconspicuous corner of the court, there is a well-dressed man. It is difficult for ordinary people to find this man watching the court. He is very serious. If you can observe him more carefully, you will find that he The object of attention is none other than Nicole.

Wearing a fleece hat, large sunglasses, and a black windbreaker, no one can recognize who he is. Of course, if he is disarmed, the fans at the scene will scream excitedly. He is the old Trafford stadium. King - Roy Keane.

Today, he came to see his legendary successor, Nicole Williams.Although it was very unpleasant to end the Red Devils career, Keane himself could not deny that the blood of the Red Devils flowed in his blood.
