Chapter 289

The arrival of Titov has increased the pressure on Alonso. At this time, Alonso finally understands that he can be arrogant in Real Sociedad, but he must not be arrogant in Liverpool, because he does not have the qualifications, at least so far.

At the same time, the arrival of Titov made Alonso feel great pressure, because the arrival of Titov made Liverpool more inclined to Titov rather than himself in terms of formation.After all, Titov is a player who can both attack and defend, and his game experience is far better than his own.

What's more important is that Titov has a good personality. When he came to Liverpool, after the first training camp, he invited all the players to have a good meal and a few glasses of wine. All Liverpool players have accepted Titov as a bold man.

Feeling his increasingly embarrassing position in Liverpool, Alonso finally became honest and no longer as arrogant as he was at the beginning.During the training, he honestly completed the tasks assigned by Lao Bei, and at the same time began to pass the ball like he did in Real Sociedad. These changes of Alonso all showed that Alonso was undergoing changes at this time.

Of course, the one who is most happy about this is the head coach Benitez. After all, Lao Bei himself does not want to admit it. He insists that Alonso, which he bought for 800 million pounds, will become a parallel import.

Seeing Alonso's performance, Lao Bei was very anxious, and spent a lot of time chatting with Alonso in private, hoping to change Alonso's arrogant attitude, but the effect was not great.

It's better now. With the arrival of Titov, Alonso also obviously felt the pressure increased, and he also began to restrain his arrogant attitude, and began to be honest.

Not to mention, to be honest, the strength of Alonso who started to pass the ball is really good. Although Irving, Gerrard and others didn't say it, they still admire Alonso in their hearts. At least Alonso has the kind of capital to make friends with Owen and others.

At this time, the pride in Laobei's heart, let alone, there are basically no problems in Liverpool's defense and striker. The only problem is the midfield. At this time, with the addition of the seasoned Titov and the change of Alonso, Liverpool's midfield strength has greatly increased. At this time, Laobei has more confidence in the coming of the new season, and believes that Liverpool can achieve better results in the new season.

However, Lao Bei also understands that a pure team match is not enough to test the strength and characteristics of the players, as well as the cooperation between teammates.Don't look at the current rivalry in the Liverpool team, the two sides are playing in full swing and it is very exciting, but Lao Bei understands that if it is played in a real game, I am afraid that the exciting scene will not be seen.

After all, they are all teammates of the same team, so it is difficult to show sparks and excitement during the game. For example, the defensive first team led by Hyypia, against the offensive first team, loses more than wins.This is not to say that Liverpool's defense is poor. After careful observation by Lao Bei, he realized that after all, it was only a match within the team. Hyypia, Carragher and others also played very serious defenses, and rarely made some dangerous tackles.

Thinking of this, Old Bei feels that Liverpool needs to find some warm-up opponents before the new season officially starts.Thinking of this, Lao Bei told Liverpool general manager Parry his thoughts and asked Parry to take charge of the arrangements.

Since Liverpool won the league championship last season, Parry also seemed very active after getting the request from Old Bei. It took him two days to find three good opponents for Liverpool.The three opponents are Charlton in the Premier League, Spartak Moscow in Russia and Gutenbergson in the English Championship.

After getting Parry's answer, Old Bei was very satisfied with the three warm-up opponents that Parry arranged for the team before the new season. It must be known that the selection of warm-up opponents by wealthy teams before the start of the new season is also a quite literary problem.

First: The strength of the opponent must be too strong, try to avoid the strength of the opponent is not much different from his own, because the warm-up match is simply an ordinary friendly match, the main purpose is to test the degree of running-in of the team, it is impossible to fight against the opponent, it is relatively too strong, this is not looking for insults from others, the strength is not much different, and this will also let Liverpool explode many tactics and characteristics. You must know that although it is just an ordinary warm-up match, Dang Bei believes that Liverpool’s warm-up match for the new season will definitely be taken seriously by Arsenal and Manchester United. Old Bei didn't want his opponent to know his team thoroughly before he met his opponent in the new season.

Second: The strength of the opponent should not be too bad. If it is too bad, there is no way to test the effectiveness of the current team. You must know that the warm-up match is also the time when Lao Bei is preparing to find out Liverpool’s potential loopholes and shortcomings during the warm-up match, so as to remedy them in time.If the opponent's strength is too weak, it is impossible to test the extent of the running-in between the players, especially the old and new players, let alone the shortcomings and loopholes.

This is normal. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. Liverpool played against each other throughout the game and played offensive drills. It is impossible for Lao Bei to see any deficiencies and loopholes in Liverpool's defense during the game.

Third: The opponent's game style is a problem, that is to say, the warm-up opponent you are looking for does not have to be honest, at least not a team where everyone is a butcher mentality.For this kind of opponent, Old Bei kept a respectful distance away. Nonsense, I am afraid that no head coach had a reason to see that in an ordinary warm-up match, his players were all injured and had to truce.

So it can be seen that the three warm-up opponents Parry found for Liverpool also worked hard. Needless to say, the Charlton team is a Premier League team.After all, no matter how bad Charlton is, it is still a Premier League team. Even if Liverpool is upset and kills Liverpool, this is normal. At least Charlton has the strength to allow Liverpool to experience the effectiveness of the team.

The Moscow Spartak team, this is because of Titov, because of Titov's reasons, the Liverpool Club and the Moscow Spartak Club have established a good friendship.

In the match with Spartak Moscow, not only can Liverpool feel the tough style of the Russian team.At the same time, it can also make Liverpool familiar with the Russian team earlier, so that Liverpool can learn more about the style of Eastern European teams in the new season's Champions League.

Of course, the devil's home court of the Russian team, especially the damn cold weather is also a reason that any team has to consider, so Lao Bei strongly requested that the warm-up match with Spartak Moscow be played at Sparta Moscow's home court.This will allow Liverpool players to better understand and familiarize themselves with the atmosphere at home in Russia.

As for Sparta Moscow, they also want to find a few good opponents to play against. It seems that before the official start of the new season, it has almost become a potential rule to find a few opponents for a warm-up match.

Now the Premier League champion Liverpool has come to him and wants to hold a warm-up with Spartak Moscow. If it is normal, even if Sparta Moscow wants to invite Liverpool, I am afraid that Liverpool will not agree.

Playing against the Premier League champions is naturally something that Spartak Moscow Club would like to see, so when Parry said that Liverpool had this intention, Spartak Moscow Club did not hesitate at all, and directly slapped the table to settle the matter.

As for the Gutenbergson team, although it has always been a mid-level team in the British Championship, the Gutenbergsen team has been staying in the British Championship. Although there is no way to advance to the Premier League, they will not be relegated. Why, it is all because of the excellent defense of the Gutenbergsen team.

Lao Bei naturally welcomes such a warm-up opponent, so that he and the Liverpool players can find a few ways to score goals in the face of an opponent who is defending like an iron barrel.

Regarding Liverpool looking for three good warm-up opponents before the official start of the new season, this matter has naturally reached the ears of Liverpool players.Compared with the excited and expectant Alonso and Titov, George, Irving, Gerrard and others seemed very leisurely, and didn't take the news seriously at all.

Because George and others understand that the main purpose of this warm-up match is to test the ability of new players, and it will have little impact on themselves and others.It is also impossible for Lao Bei to play the main position of Alonso and Titov because of their sudden explosion and super performance in the warm-up match.

So George, Owen and others don't care about this matter at all. In short, life is still the same as before, and they can live as they want. Anyway, George and others don't need to worry about losing their position as Liverpool's main players.Leaving aside the rest, let’s say that Titov and Alonso are both midfielders. Even if they have an impact, they will not affect George and Owen who are forwards.

Finally, the time for the warm-up match came. Liverpool first welcomed the British Championship team Gutenbergson at their home court, and then rushed to cold Russia after receiving Charlton as a guest. After returning from a friendly match with Spartak Moscow, Liverpool began to prepare for the new season.

Although it was just an ordinary friendly match, because Liverpool won the Premier League last season, even if it was an ordinary friendly match, Liverpool fans were very enthusiastic and came to Anfield Stadium to watch the game.Of course, Liverpool fans also know that this game is just a game for new players to play, but even so, Liverpool fans are very enthusiastic, and more than 4 people are basically sitting on the eighth floor.

And the Liverpool club is not polite. Since there are so many Liverpool fans coming to support Liverpool, in order to thank the fans for their support to Liverpool, the ticket fee this time will be charged one-fifth of the usual ticket fee. Moreover, the money obtained from the two warm-up games at home, the Liverpool club is also prepared to donate all the money to charity in the name of the club.
