Chapter 385 Preparations before the war

"We played a terrible game!"

In the dressing room, Carragher was unusually annoyed. lngn is not known to others, but he is known-if they can't win the next game, then Liverpool will bid farewell to Gerrard completely.

"In this game, Carragher has a big problem with your defense, your defense is out of position..."

"I don't want to discuss the defensive misplacement now!" Carragher turned around and almost interrupted Benitez with a growl, "I don't want to hear what you say now! If we don't win, it's yours Problem! You just want us to lose, then sell Steph and turn Liverpool into a Spanish club!"

What Carragher said made the locker room suddenly cold. [

"Is this true? Are you really going to sell Stephen?" Hypia raised his head, "Is this true?"

"The club has this idea, but the prerequisite is that we can't make it to the Champions League knockout round." Benitez hesitated before speaking, "Liverpool needs major surgery to become stronger, and to change the lineup, we need enough money. If there are not enough match bonuses, then we can only make money from transfer fees."

"Sell Stephen and buy a Spaniard?" Hypia asked.

"Yes." Benitez nodded, "We need funds. Stephen is from England. In the Premier League team, his nationality is very attractive and can bring a lot of funds for the club. People, it is to continentalize the team's tactics. Ever since the Heythel tragedy, the English club's tactics have fallen behind..."

"Don't mention the Heather tragedy here!" Carragher, who had just been pushed down, suddenly stood up again, "Here, it's still Liverpool's dressing room! Don't mention Heather here!"

"I'm talking about tactical discussions," Benitez said.

"I'm talking about the soul of the team," Carragher replied.

"Okay, Jimmy, the coach is not malicious, so don't be so angry. These are all your teammates. Everyone is unhappy when you lose. Don't be angry with the people here." Hypia stopped Carragher "Coach, I suggest you don't believe Parry's words, even if you really sell Stephen, you can't have enough transfer fee. Parry is a firm supporter of English football, even if it is true If he sells Stephen, he will only target England players when he buys, and it is impossible to spend 3000 million to Spain."

"The club gave me a guarantee." Benitez frowned.

"Michael also gave the club a guarantee. He said he would play for Liverpool for the rest of his life. When did what he said really work?" Hypia snorted, "Don't believe them, don't believe them. Coach, Believe me, what you have now is a group of the best players in the world, and if you sell any of them, you will regret it."

"Yes, coach, we can't do this." Alonso also stood up, "Stephen is a good player, he is our leader, the spiritual pillar of the team, and the team's tactical strength. Head, If we sell him, we'll never find another player like that again."

"That's right." Zhao Yaning also said, "Continentalized football is very good, but aren't all tactics played by humans? Even Real Madrid intends to introduce Stephen. He is the best player. We met. , is our honor, how can we sell it as soon as we say it?"

"Enough, let's not talk about this, okay!" Gerrard finally spoke, "Coach, if you sell my premise, will you lose the next game?"

Benitez hesitated, but nodded.

"Does anyone here want me to go?" Gerald looked around.

"No!" Carragher answered immediately.

"Then, isn't the matter very simple? I hope everyone wins the last game." Gerrard looked at everyone, "I think everyone should understand that this is more important to me than anything else." Important things. I hope, you can also help me stay."

Then he turned his head, "Coach, I know you don't like England's style of play very much. But I also hope, at least please give me one season to see how my skills are, and if I really can't satisfy you needs, and then say to keep me, or sell me, okay?"

Benitez didn't speak this time, just nodded slightly. [

"Jimmy, don't be angry anymore. Enthusiasm is a good thing, but right now, what we need is not enthusiasm. The next game, we find a way to win, and then, finish the season well. I believe I will stay here .Because I believe that my level can bring us victory, and it is also enough to bring glory to Liverpool.”——

After the end of the Champions League, Liverpool is facing a dilemma in the Champions League.In the league, they also ushered in a strong opponent.

League No.15 round, Liverpool's game is against Arsenal at home.

Both teams are in the low ho right now.Liverpool suffered a two-game losing streak, the Champions League was forced to a desperate situation, suppressed by Everton in the league, and followed by Manchester United.In the last seven league games, Arsenal had two wins, four draws and one loss. They were also in trouble. They were chased by Chelsea all the way. Now they are tied with Chelsea in points. Relying on their advantage in goal difference, they overwhelmed Chelsea.

In the Champions League in midweek, Arsenal was also not very happy. In their game against PSV, they only got a draw. After the game, Wenger also complained constantly.

The situation Arsenal is facing now is similar to that of Liverpool.A while ago, Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Campbell and Reyes were all injured, which made Arsenal not play very well.

In this game, Henry, Campbell and Reyes have recovered from their injuries.But Bergkamp is still injured and was not able to participate in this game.

And before the game, when Wenger was interviewed, he also opened fire on Liverpool intentionally, "I am really worried. I am worried that after this winter, Gerrard will join Chelsea, and then Chelsea will become A team good enough to take on Arsenal."

In this case, on the one hand, Liverpool will not be able to keep Gerrard, and on the other hand, it will also damage Chelsea's strength, which naturally caused a lot of repercussions.Against Liverpool, Arsenal still wanted to say a few words to show their strength after all.

What's more, there is still a controversy between the two sides: Zhao Yaning has now scored 11 goals, tying Henry in the shooter list, and ranking first due to his fewer playing times.

This also made the Gunners very dissatisfied: Zhao Yaning scored 11 goals, one penalty kick, four free kicks, and only six sports goals, and most of them came from underdogs.Henry's 11 goals are all real sports goals.

"Your players score goals, what's the point of playing set kicks?" This is the most complained by Arsenal fans.

"Who told Henry not to take free kicks? It's not a skill, why didn't he come a few times?" Liverpool fans answered so simply.

But despite the fierce noise outside, Liverpool did not respond to the game. At this time, they were preparing for the game and ignored Arsenal.

"Arsenal is the strongest team in the entire league, there is no doubt about it." Before the game, Benitez re-planned their tactics, "From lineup to tactics, this is an extremely mature team. Unlike Chelsea, which relies on star stacking, a large part of their victory is caused by tactics."

"Aren't you going to make us rationally choose to give up the game again?" Carragher asked.

"No, of course not. If the opponent's star is too strong, I will give up, because you really can't play. But there are tactical factors, then it is my task, we just need to beat them."

Benitez made the assignment, "In this game, we will play three midfielders."

"Send Joey back?" Gerald asked.

"No. He pulled to the side. Milito top to the front, Kewell on the left." Benitez made an answer.

In this game, Garcia was injured and was unable to play. Liverpool's tactics in the previous few games had to be reversed.However, Harman and Milito recovered from their injuries in time, and both were able to play in the game.

And Milito is in front, Zhao Yaning and Kewell are on both sides, so that means, there is no one in the midfield who can play the midfielder...[

"Haman as a defensive midfielder, Gerrard and Alonso, at the same time as a central midfielder." Benitez immediately made a plan for the next step.

"Three midfielders?" This penalty surprised Zhao Yaning.

"It's a pair of central midfielders. In addition to taking on certain defensive tasks, the two of them have to keep plugging in and chasing back. Arsenal's attacks are always launched from the two ribs, so they are in the defensive third area. The defense can stop them. And their defense is good for the protection of the ribs, but not enough protection for the top of the penalty area. What we need is to attack here..."

"We're talking about Arsenal," Carragher questioned. "It's easy for you to tell them what they say."

"As I said, the players' ability, maybe we can't do it. But on the tactical issue, I am sure, we will never lose!"

"Long time no see... what's your name?"

In the kop stands, Beibei looked at the uncle in front of him with some depression.She found that she really looked very ordinary, and she still remembered his name, but he was forgotten so quickly, "Beibei, just call me Beibei."

"Oh, Beibei... Remember to wear the jersey next time you watch the game." Oliver said, "Hurry up and cheer for us, this game must beat Arsenal back!"

"Beating Arsenal...it's hard. Haven't you already lost two games in a row?"

"It's us, don't talk about you. You are in the kop stand." Oliver corrected her again, "And, what if they are strong? Aren't we not strong? Our lineup is rare in this game. It was also when Stephen took a two-month break and played at Anfield for the first time."

"You really care about him." Beibei replied, "Don't blame him after being injured for two months? Otherwise, you might still win the championship."

"Koppt never blames the players for this kind of thing, as long as the players play seriously, we will be grateful to them."

This made Beibei laugh, "Look, he really came at the right time..."

Such a fan, what reason is there not to play well?
