ball at foot

After the game ended, for a long time, the teammates who returned to the training base did not say anything.

In this game, they lost so badly.

The game was more tragic than anyone imagined. The score of 4-5 is said to be a match between Liverpool and Chelsea, how many people will believe it?Liverpool did not concede a goal in five rounds, but conceded five in one game.Chelsea lost one in seven rounds, and in this game, Liverpool scored four goals.

When two strong defensive teams no longer defend, but concentrate on attacking, such a game becomes a worse game.They were originally considered to be strong teams at the Champions League level. In this game, the defenses of the two teams were all kicked into a sieve.

Obviously, Liverpool is worse. [

"It's my responsibility to lose the game, it's my problem..."

In the middle of Carragher's words, Gerrard grabbed his neck and interrupted his words.

"Everyone makes mistakes, Jimmy." Gerald shook his head, "You did a good job, very good."

Reina's mistake, Carragher's own goal, coupled with Chelsea's good luck, became the key reason for Liverpool's defeat in this game.

But in the final analysis, the biggest reason for Liverpool's defeat is the general pride of Liverpool players.After winning the Champions League, while this team became confident, it also began to become blind.And after winning five games and not losing a single goal in the league, they played an even more arrogant match. Even though they knew their opponents had set a trap for them and used words to run against them, Liverpool was still proud. They chose to attack, and they even disobeyed the coach's words for this, and even quarreled with the coach.

But the facts have proved that their opponents are stronger than imagined, and their strength is not strong enough to crush all powerful enemies.

Now, at the press conference after the game, Mourinho will definitely be elated.In Liverpool's defeat, the point difference with Chelsea has also reached 9 points, and the winning streak that has been achieved with great difficulty is over.Not to mention, how much the loss this time has hit morale.

"I'm not talking about own goals... I'm talking about everything I do in the dressing room. We wouldn't have been fooled, we wouldn't have lost if I hadn't encouraged everyone to disobey the coach and play against the opponent. .I am the vice-captain and took the lead in disrupting the locker room. I am the biggest culprit in the defeat."

What he said just made his teammates pat him. No one said anything more about this.This is indeed Carragher's responsibility, and what he offended was Benitez's majesty.How to deal with him is a matter for Benitez. Others have no power and can only pray silently, hoping that Benitez can see that Carragher will take the initiative to stand up and spare him this time.

"Each of us is wrong. If there is any fault, we will bear it together." Zhao Yaning patted Carragher and said.

At this time, Benitez also didn't know what to say.

"You played...not badly today." Benitez stood in the crowd, and it took him a long time to say a word.

It was really bad today.In Benitez's heart, of course he understood this.But at this time, how could he say that?

He can't really scold.The players are frustrated enough now, if they scold again, the players will really all collapse.He is the head coach of the team. At this time, he should not hit the team anymore.Of course, some severe criticism may also work, but if you do that, it is tantamount to expelling the current harmonious atmosphere and optimistic spirit in the team.Benitez didn't want a military academy, he wanted a football team.

Of course, there is another way, which is to scold the opponent.At this time, scolding the opponent severely can also make the players agree with his words from the heart and create a feeling of hatred.However, in Benitez's heart, he was still unwilling to do this.Although he learned these things from the Italian Capello, from the bottom of his heart, he still prefers those things that Bosque told him.Some things go beyond victory and defeat, respect for the opponent, and sometimes respect for oneself.

I'm really a bit pedantic - at this time, the only way I can think of is to just peel off this page and it's over.

"This game is still of great significance to us." Benitez racked his brains to think of words that might be helpful to everyone. There is no problem. We don’t need to think about the best start of the winning streak. Our psychological pressure is lighter. What we have to do now is to strive for the victory of every game. The league is a long process. Maybe win every game, we have two games less, that is to say, in theory, we are only three points away from Chelsea, we still have a chance."

There is still a chance... In fact, everyone understands this in their hearts.Benitez did not really grasp the thoughts in everyone's mind.What makes everyone really sad is not because the team has no chance to win the championship, but because the team is really not as strong as they imagined.

They thought that the team could defeat all powerful enemies, but now they realize that their strength is not enough to break through the opponent's trap and kill the powerful enemies alive-they are not a dynasty, but a team An average team.Five wins and zero conceded goals in five rounds is indeed remarkable, but it is still far from the world's enemies. [

If they lost to a relegation team, they would not be so sad.In that kind of game, if you lose, you lose, and they can easily let it go.But losing a game of this crucial nature made them very uncomfortable.

"Jimmy, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. I won't blame you this time. It's a good thing to have your own ideas. Only players who are diligent in thinking can improve. It's just that if you have any good ideas next time, it will be with me. It’s better to discuss it. You are the vice-captain of the team, and you should set an example. Confronting the coach is not what a captain should do.”

Benitez doesn't have much to blame for Carragher: how much blame can there be?He is the vice-captain, so I can't sell him out to be my wife and play tricks: The latest chapter of the Boss-sama.He is the main force, and I can't put him aside.Just a few words of comfort, this is his only way.

"Head, I did make a mistake. If you need to punish me, send me to the reserve team, or suspend me in the team, I will admit it."

When Carragher was talking, he also looked at Benitez.But as he expected, Benitez just pointed to the bench and asked him to sit down.

This made Carragher very uncomfortable: After losing, he would rather the coach scold him. At least, he hoped that the coach would show his dissatisfaction with him and his emphasis on results.However, when the coach thinks about problems, he still always considers Carragher's main position and captain status. When he thinks about problems, he always thinks about tactics and the team...

This style is really uncomfortable.This is the football team, not the institute.Carragher is an Englishman, and what he likes is also the ethos of England's traditional famous coaches.Fighting, talking and laughing with the players, drinking together, swearing together, mingling with the players is what he likes.Even like those former old men who used him as a small worker, even hung him up and beat him, he would not complain, but this kind of business-like attitude... is indeed very good, but it is always possible to work hard together because of the distance, Friends who worked hard together are missing something.

He sighed and turned his gaze to Gerrard. He didn't know what to say. As the captain, Gerrard should come out and say a few words at this time.

"Cheer up, guys!" Gerald stood up, slapped his hands, and then lost his mind.Although he is the captain, he has always lacked the kind of arrogance that dares to scold the street in the team's locker room. In the locker room, Carragher has always had the final say.But now, Carragher is depressed, and Gerrard is still unable to call on his teammates to cheer up.

If only on the pitch, Gerrard thought, a few shots from long range would cheer everyone up.But in the locker room, you have to rely on words to cheer everyone up. These things are the most troublesome.

"Guys, I know why we lost." At this time, Zhao Yaning raised his head and stood up, "Do you still remember our slogan? Never walk alone! This is the biggest reason why we are strong! So we lost because we forgot that sentence!"

Everyone raised their heads. For everyone, this accusation was more serious than losing.

"Why did we lose? Not because we didn't work hard enough, but because when we were playing football, we forgot one thing: Liverpool are strong because we give the best out of everyone. Stephen, Jay Mee, Harvey, Momo, me, Luis, Diego, and, Coach."

Benitez didn't speak, and didn't know what to say. Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at him, which surprised him too.

"We forgot about the coach. We didn't implement his tactics, we did things that couldn't be called teamwork at all, we threw our important parts aside and played according to our own ideas. We forgot. If we didn’t do what we were supposed to do, we would be punished. That’s why we lost.”

Of course, there is also the problem of the coach. At this time, Zhao Yaning is still not completely relieved.However, it is better to talk about those things later.Now, how to motivate the team is important.

Zhao Yaning's words made everyone a little ashamed, but at the same time they all raised their heads.This is the time to admit your mistakes. Now that you know you are wrong, you have to raise your head and admit it.

"We lost this game, but as the coach said, we still have a chance. Now that we have realized ourselves and the mistakes we have made, aren't these things more important than a victory? And , In this game, we also saw the opponent clearly, we know how cunning the opponent is. We Chinese have a saying, "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle. Now that we know more, why can't we play better Guys, we may not be the best team right now, but as long as we work hard and work together, after a while, who will be our opponent?"

Last season, we were third in the league, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and now we are also second in the league, the most stable contender for the league title?We are getting better step by step, and one day, we can become the strongest team in the world!
