Chapter 381 A Different George

"Well, good, good, since you're back, let's go back to the team. It's a critical moment, and the team needs you!" Old Bei carefully looked at George, who had disappeared for a month, and felt the fierce aura emanating from George. Although he didn't know what George had learned from Ian Callahan this month, at least one thing was certain, George at this time was more threatening than before.Seeing this, Lao Bei nodded in satisfaction.

George nodded and didn't say anything. Although it is impossible for George to improve by leaps and bounds after a month of special training, at least George's original sharpness has been smoothed out by Ian Callahan.At this time, George no longer had the sharp temperament of the flag that made people feel very sharp at first glance, and some only had an unexplainable feeling. Of course, George at this time is definitely more threatening than before.

"Finally back!" Looking at the training ground where he had been away for a month, George also sighed.You must know that George has really suffered a lot this month.

Let alone trying to avoid the pursuit of Hughes and others at the beginning, the second stage of dribbling on the uneven lawn seems very simple, but only George can understand the hard work.

All of this is nothing, but after participating in Ian Callahan's special training, Hughes and others reappeared halfway through the time. At this time, George had to take the ball to avoid Hughes and others' snatching the ball, and Hughes and John could still do whatever they could to snatch the ball from George's feet.

In a small range, it is simply impossible to avoid the steals of Hughes and others for a decade.But it's not bad, Ian Callahan did this just to increase George's sense of the ball and dribbling ability.

Although George didn't have a real test this month, George can proudly say that George at this time is no longer the George he used to be. Of course, he is definitely stronger than before.

"Hi~ Look who's back. It turns out it's George. Come on, let me see if you've regressed this month." Just as George was still lamenting the month of hard special training, Alonso saw George and said with a smirk, and at the same time passed the ball under his feet towards George.

Either he hasn't played football well in the past month, or it's the conditioned reflex of a professional striker. Facing Alonso's pass, George didn't even think about it. He rushed towards the rolling ball and kicked it hard.

The ball flew towards the goal with a distance of more than forty meters like a cannonball. Like a bolt of lightning, it quickly penetrated into the goal net from the junction of the crossbar, and Dudek, who was standing in front of the goal, felt depressed for a while.

Although Dudek was unprepared and did not enter the game state, but at a distance of 40 meters, he hit a dead corner and the ball was extremely fast. Seeing this, the entire Liverpool players on the training ground opened their mouths wide and looked at the ball lying on the goal, and then at George who was shooting, and a word came out of his mind: monster.

"Okay, guys, let's train." But George didn't give his teammates time to buffer the huge impact of his shot. It seemed that this shot let George vent all the depression he had suffered during training during this period.At this time, George, who was in a good mood, immediately greeted his teammates loudly, while he ran towards the training ground.

"Steven, did you see that the monster George's long-range shooting ability seems to be stronger than yours." Alonso stared blankly at the ball lying on the goal, and said to Gerrard beside him.

Originally, in Alonso's impression, Gerrard had successfully replaced the old German Hamann as the team's top long-range shooter in the Liverpool team. Seeing George's earth-shattering kick just now, Alonso suddenly felt that his idea seemed to be wrong. George's long-range shot was probably no less than Gerrard's, and even better.

"It's like, damn, at least I can't kick this kid. Damn, what did this kid do this month, why did he suddenly become so powerful." Compared with the stunned Alonso, Gerald is better. The first is that his personal psychological quality is excellent, and the second is that Gerald grew up with Owen and George, and they are very familiar with each other.

Although Gerrard didn't know why George suddenly became so powerful, after all, Gerrard was used to George's outbursts or abnormal performances from time to time, so he was used to it.

George's ground-breaking shot, this scene was naturally watched by Lao Bei on the sidelines, and after realizing that George's shot was powerful and heavy, and the angle was very tricky, he scored a goal.Seeing this scene, Lao Bei's eyes couldn't help but brighten, because Lao Bei was already thinking at this time that George's long-range shooting ability might become a surprise weapon for Liverpool's offense.

No way, at this time, Lao Bei's mind is full of the day after tomorrow's Champions League knockout stage match, no way, who called Valencia abruptly snatched Liverpool's first place in the group, and let Liverpool meet a strong opponent, that is Juventus, a wealthy old lady from Serie A.

When Old Bei knew that Juventus was next month in Liverpool's Champions League, he lamented that his luck was not very good, and at the same time devoted all his energy to the preparation for this game.

Although Liverpool successfully eliminated the powerful Juventus on the road to the Champions League last year, there is no doubt that the old woman is strong, so strong that Liverpool has to admit that the strength of the opponent is indeed stronger than itself.

The reason why Liverpool successfully eliminated Juventus at the beginning relied on perseverance and bloodshed, but even so, after defeating the powerful Juventus, Liverpool was seriously injured, and finally was easily swept away by the mighty Real Madrid, completely fulfilling Real Madrid.
Therefore, Lao Bei attaches great importance to this game. After all, Lao Bei doesn't want to take the team with him, just go to the Champions League knockout round and go home. Although Juventus is very strong, Lao Bei still feels that he must fight.

And George's shot just now made Lao Bei see the hope of defeating Juventus. Lao Bei can only keep praying at this time, praying that George's shot just now can be staged again against Juventus.

Liverpool has encountered a tough bone. Of course, Valencia is also having a hard time. Although Valencia's opponents are not as strong as Juventus, their strength is definitely not weak, and they are also opponents that Valencia is very familiar with.Because Valencia's opponent is also from La Liga's super Deportivo - Deportivo.

For this kind of result, the La Liga media stopped doing it, reported and publicized it, thinking that UEFA did not want to continue to see La Liga dominate the UEFA Champions League, deliberately let two teams from the same La Liga meet, and asked UEFA to give an explanation.However, no matter how clamored by the La Liga media, it is impossible to make Super Depor become another team, so when Liverpool played against the powerful Juventus, Valencia will face the very familiar Super Depor.It can be said that whether it is Liverpool or Valencia, the first knockout stage game is not easy to deal with.

In fact, it’s not a big deal if you think about it carefully. After all, any team that can reach the knockout stage is very strong. After all, being able to enter the knockout stage depends not only on luck, but also on your own strength.

Compared with the bad brothers of Liverpool and Valencia, other games basically did not encounter any heavyweight crashes. It can be said that from the perspective of the excitement of the game and the composition, Liverpool's match against the Serie A giants Juventus is undoubtedly the most important match in the knockout stage.

The next day, all Liverpool players boarded a flight to Italy, ready to start the first round of the contest, and the match between Liverpool and Juventus naturally attracted the attention of many media in Europe.

No way, in the first stage of this knockout round, all other matches were strong teams against weak teams. Although it is impossible for a team that can reach this stage to have a weak team, there is still a clear distinction between strength and weakness.

But Liverpool and Juventus are different. Although Liverpool is not as powerful as the powerful Juventus in terms of overall strength, Liverpool has blood, perseverance, and can explode with terrifying power.Therefore, the match between Liverpool and Juventus naturally attracted the attention of countless people. (Because of George’s arrival, history has changed at this time. Don’t follow the original historical matchup situation. At the same time, Porto, the biggest dark horse in this Champions League, did not qualify, and Mourinho did not show his edge. I would like to explain it. Everyone is also surprised and strange.)
Perhaps it was the match between Liverpool and Juventus. It was definitely a wonderful match. It seemed that even the time was impatient, and he began to speed up his pace.

Lippi walked towards the pre-match press conference with a depressed face, followed by the prince of Juventus, the soul of the team, and Captain Del Piero.Looking at the depressed and bitter head coach Lippi, who lowered his head and made no noise, Del Piero seemed to want to say something, but he finally gave up with a sigh.

Lippi is depressed. This season is undoubtedly a bad season for Lippi. At this time, Juventus's performance in the league is very bad. The Milan duo firmly occupy the first and second positions in the rankings, and Rome seems to have exploded.

At the same time, the departure of the Dutchman Davis also greatly reduced Juventus' interception ability in the midfield. At the same time, the aging of the team's defense is the biggest reason for Juventus' unsatisfactory results.

Although the team brought in Ghanaian Appiah to make up for Davis' departure, and also brought in Lerotalie from Chievo, how could Appiah catch up with Davis, and how could Lerotalie compare with the team's old player Tudor.

Thinking of this, Lippi shook his head helplessly. At this time, Lippi seemed to have foreseen that the countdown to the end of get out of class had begun to move.

But at this time Lippi didn’t seem to know, his guess was really right. This season is undoubtedly a bad season for Juventus, and the league only achieved No.3 results. In the final of the Coppa Italia, Lazio also snatched the past. As for the UEFA Champions League, hehe, keep it secret for the time being.Juventus has also tried a bitter fruit that has never been seen in recent years.

And it was for this series of reasons that Lippi finally chose to leave and left Juventus, and it was Fabio Capello, the iron-fisted master, who replaced Lippi.

Although he was in a bad mood because of the results of the league, when Lippi came to the door of the press conference, he still took a deep breath, his face suddenly became serious, and walked into the press conference with his head held high.Lippi did not forget that last time Liverpool eliminated Juventus, which he brought, this time Lippi decided to treat Liverpool well to avenge his hatred for being eliminated last year.

Lippi is a proud person. Seeing Lao Bei and George, two people who made great contributions to the elimination of Juventus last year, Lippi naturally would not walk over to greet Lao Bei with a smile. On the contrary, Lippi walked to Lao Bei and sat down with a serious face, ignoring the existence of Lao Bei at the side.

Lao Bei saw Lippi's reaction and didn't feel any anger.As early as when Lippi walked in, Lao Bei didn't expect Lippi to greet him.Lao Bei also knew that for a person who eliminated him last year, even he would be very upset when they met again, so it was normal for Lippi to have such a reaction.

Therefore, Old Bei was not angry at all, just smiled and chatted with George beside him in a low voice.

When the reporters on the scene saw this scene, their eyes lit up. Obviously, the head coaches of the two sides seemed to be very unfriendly, which probably destined this match to be a wonderful battle.Thinking of this, the reporters immediately became excited and looked at Lao Bei and Lippi eagerly, hoping that the pre-match press conference could start soon.

"Coach Lippi, what do you think of this match against Liverpool?" When the staff signaled the official start of the press conference, the reporters at the scene had been waiting for this moment. No, a female reporter immediately stood up and asked Lippi with a serious face.

"Liverpool is a strong opponent. There is no doubt about it. Last year, we were eliminated by Liverpool. But this time, we are all ready for Juventus. I believe this game will be a wonderful game."

Lippi replied lightly, although he was very upset, but Lippi couldn't just say how much he hated Liverpool and Lao Bei. If Lippi really said this, then Lippi would not be able to sit here as the head coach of Juventus.

Therefore, Lippi still compliments habitually, as if the opponent is very strong and this game is very difficult.

"Coach Lippi, you said that Juventus is ready. Does this mean that Juventus will win this game?"

"Liverpool is a strong opponent. Before the game is over, no one can guarantee the final result of this game. But this time it is at our own home court, and my players have the right and obligation to comfort the dignity of the team. My players will definitely go all out for this game, and I believe everyone will not be disappointed." Lippi's Tai Chi Kung Fu is still a bit hot, and he continued to practice Tai Chi in the face of the bombardment of reporters.

"Coach Benitez, I don't know what you think of this game." Seeing that Lippi couldn't find anything to break the news, the reporters at the scene immediately shifted their guns and aimed at Lao Bei who was beside him.However, the reporters at the scene seemed to have forgotten that Lippi is not easy to deal with, and Lao Bei is not easy to bully.

"Juventus is a great team, and Coach Lippi is also a great coach. Think about the honors Juventus has won in recent years under the leadership of Coach Lippi. Although Juventus has encountered some troubles recently, no one dares to underestimate Juventus. As long as we can get a draw at the Del Alpi Stadium this time, I will be very satisfied. In this game, our goal for Liverpool is a draw."

Lao Bei looked like a weak team met a rich team, he didn't want to beat the opponent, he just wanted to get a draw in the away game and take a point, which immediately surprised everyone at the scene.

The reporters on the scene were depressed. Although Liverpool's strength is not as good as Juventus, they are definitely not weak. How come Lao Bei should perform like a poor team when it meets a rich team. I can't figure it out.

"Hmph!" Lippi couldn't help snorting after hearing what Old Bei said. Lippi won't be fooled. Don't look at Lao Bei's humble appearance at this time, but Lippi can be sure that when the game really starts, neither Liverpool nor Lao Bei will be polite.

"Uh~ Coach Benitez, don't tell me your goal is just one point, a draw?" It seemed that the reporters on the scene were not used to Lao Bei's performance, and the reporter who asked the question continued to ask after being stunned for a while.

"Of course, my goal is a draw. After all, Juventus is a great and powerful team, and this time it is at Juventus' home court. If we can get a draw, it is considered a victory. Of course, if possible, I would like to have an away goal."

Lao Bei's answer also made the reporters on the scene realize that, indeed, for Liverpool, as long as they get a draw in the away game, it can be regarded as a victory. If they can score another away goal, it can be regarded as a great victory.Because of this, for the second round of the contest between the two sides, Liverpool, which is at home, has a huge advantage and can take the initiative in the game.

"Coach Lippi, as we all know, Liverpool eliminated Juventus last year. I don't know how Juventus will deal with Liverpool this time." Or because they were dissatisfied with the coaches of both sides, they would delay the time like this, so a reporter stood up and boldly pointed out the grievances between the two sides, hoping to get some valuable revelations.Of course, if Lao Bei and Lippi had a big fight on the scene, it would definitely be the thing that all the reporters on the scene would like to see the most.

Although the reporters thought so, it was obvious that both Lao Bei and Lippi disappointed the reporters on the scene.For Lao Bei and Lippi, they were like an old fox and a little fox, continuing to play Tai Chi with the reporters at the scene, delaying time.The reporters on the scene were itchy with hatred, but they were helpless.

Lippi and Lao Bei let the reporters on the scene experience the kung fu of the two of them, and after letting the reporters on the scene realize that answering questions is an art, they left the press conference with their players in a chic manner.

George and Piero looked at each other helplessly, because they were completely redundant this time. Old Bei and Lippi, the big and small foxes, led the reporters on the spot in a daze, and unknowingly used up the time and energy of the press conference. George and Piero just sat aside stupidly, and didn't need to do anything.

However, George and Piero just looked at each other. After seeing each other's helplessness and embarrassment, in less than half a second, both sides saw the sharp eyes in each other's eyes.

Although neither of them said a word, sometimes a look is far stronger than a thousand words. Both of them can see from the other's eyes that the other will definitely go all out in this game.

"Okay guys, I have said what I need to say a few days ago, and I have explained what I need to remind and pay attention to. Now I have nothing to say, but I just want to remind everyone that this is the opponent's home court. The opponent will definitely attack crazily and hope to score early. So we don't need to worry, pay attention to defense, and then play fast offense. Just stick to our game style and rhythm. If any adjustments need to be made, I will explain to you on the sidelines."

Back in the locker room, Lao Bei spoke to the Liverpool players, then motioned for everyone to rest, and quietly waited for the time to enter the field.

"Juventus! A strong opponent, very good. Now that we have met, there is nothing we can do about it. Then I will try you guys. How effective is my special training this month?"

Sitting in his seat, George thought to himself, but George seemed to have forgotten that he was just a substitute in this game, not a main player at all.

No way, the combination of Irving and Hesky has become more and more tacit in the shortest time recently. Both of them have a high scoring rate. In addition, Lao Bei doesn't know what George's recent special training is, nor does he know how George's condition is recovering. To be on the safe side, Lao Bei did not arrange for George to start.

The first is worrying that George has not fully recovered to his previous competitive state, and the second is worrying that George will start the first game after returning to the team, which will affect the increasingly tacit combination of Irving and Husky at this time.
