ball at foot

"Coach, I want you to figure out why I got angry! If you are really dizzy, or if you are not capable, I won't get angry if you do something wrong, but why did you do it? Is it really a tactical consideration?" Ask yourself, is there really no other reason? There are so many people in the frontcourt, I didn’t make any mistakes and you just replace me, isn’t it because I have a good temper? Stephen is the captain and Luis is a veteran. If you replace them , They may not be happy, so they replaced me. Anyway, I have a good temper, and I won’t say anything if I am replaced! And if you win the game, it will naturally be that you commanded well, replaced people brilliantly, and have a handsome demeanor. If I lose, I won't complain too much, right?" Zhao Yaning rarely quarreled with Benitez, and this matter aroused his hidden anger, "So you replaced Me, because I won’t quarrel with you after the game, and I won’t act aggressively. Even now, you feel that it’s over if you apologize, and I will still be obedient in the future, right? Coach, you have to understand , the reason I got angry was not because I was substituted, nor because I conceded the ball, but because you didn't respect me."

Zhao Yaning said everything he wanted to say as if venting, which also made Benitez blush.Although he replaced Zhao Yaning, he thought it was more out of tactical considerations, but indeed, he felt that Zhao Yaning would obey his tactical arrangements conditionally.He did ignore Zhao Yaning’s feelings. He always believed that Zhao Yaning would be obedient.

"I didn't do it on purpose."

"That's what's scary. After you do it, you don't even realize it. I'm not your pawn, you're not drawing on the tactical board, keeping a distance from the players or something. I don't know if it's right, but, I What I know is that you treat me like an object, let me exert sufficient tactical execution ability when needed, and directly replace me from the field when it is useless, no one can accept such an approach." Zhao Yaning He continued, "Your tactical class is always telling us what each of us should do. When we do well, you won't encourage them, but when we don't do well, you will keep telling us what to do. Tell me how to finish Inception Notes. I seem to be a tool in your hands, and in this game, I have risen from a tool to a waste product. I don’t care about money, I don’t care about reputation, those things are so-called , but you can’t even deprive me of my on-court role. If I’m already useless, then what’s the point of my existence? This kind of thing is the only thing I can’t stand.”

"But, that's a tactical need..."[

"This is another reason why I said you don't respect us. Almost all players want to have a fierce fight with their opponents, attack, and then win! Even if we lose, we admit it! But what is your choice? ? Once again chose the idea of ​​​​conservative supremacy. At the most critical moment of the game, you adjusted to play in the three-pivot mode. You have never considered what we think, even if we had an argument with you once, quarreling You still haven't noticed our thoughts." Zhao Yaning took a breath, "In your opinion, we are your puppets, right? It doesn't matter what we think or how we play, we just You should play football according to your thinking, without the slightest opinion!"

"It never crossed my mind."

"What is that? Soldier? Underling? Anyway, we have to follow what you say, no complaints, no opinions, no quarrels, right? How different is this from a puppet?" Zhao Yaning stared at He, "Now I have a quarrel with you, and, as I said, I will not bow my head easily. What are you going to do? Make me a substitute, or sell me directly? Anyway, I prepared for the worst , I am waiting for your answer."

"I never thought that you have such a big opinion on me." Benitez said in a low voice. Never thought that Zhao Yaning would get angry like this one day.No matter how mild-tempered people are, they all have their own bottom line, and Zhao Yaning's bottom line is obviously that he has received enough attention on the court. He can bear everything else, but he can't bear football.

"I have never disrespected your idea, but my approach is obviously to do so. I'm sorry, I did something wrong." After a long time, Benitez spoke.

Zhao Yaning didn’t say a word, just listening to him talking.

"Speaking is worthless. No matter how much I say, I don't think you will forgive me easily. But I just hope that you can give me a chance to correct me, and if you insist on not forgiving me "Benitez gritted his teeth, "Then, please don't propose a transfer. If you really hate me, I will resign and you stay, okay?"

"If you resign, why do you care if I stay or not?"

"The tactical system of this team is built by me, the personnel are brought in by me, and the ideas of play are all arranged by me. I hope he can be kept, maintained, and continue to play on the field. Effect. Even if I leave and replace with a smart coach, this lineup can still play a powerful role. But if you leave, you just dismantle this lineup, and it will take a lot of money to complete it. It’s a lot of strength. It’s better for me to go than you, if one of us has to go, it’s better for Liverpool if I go.”

Zhao Yaning looked at him, and said after a while, "You said you can speak with your performance, then, let me see your performance before you speak."——

"I have to admit that in the semi-final of the Champions League, I made a very serious mistake. I shouldn't have replaced Zhao Yaning. This substitution is the most fundamental reason for our failure. My role and status to him I have always underestimated him too much, and this is my mistake, for which I have to apologize to him solemnly."

In front of the camera of the media, Benitez spoke word by word, but at this time, Zhao Yaning was sitting beside the team chairman, watching this video without saying a word.

This is the sincerity of the apology that Benitez said, right?There are not many apologies to players in front of the media.In this way, he told everyone who is the most important person in this team.Zhao Yaning can imagine that after doing this, how the media will evaluate his approach, cynicism, acrimony, and all kinds of insults will definitely not be less.He was able to do this, which really showed his sincerity.

And when this incident got to this level, it finally alarmed the team's chairman, Morse.

Mr. Morse didn't speak until after the film was finished, "Joy, do you want to watch something else? About the media's cynicism towards Benitez? Or the media's attitude towards his substitutions and treatment of players?" Doubt? Or the media..."

"It doesn't matter how difficult it is to be reborn to be ordinary."

"It's actually quite interesting. For example, this paragraph: 'Coach Benitez's ruthless approach to players has finally paid off. He ruined his team's best chance and made Zhao Yaning turn against him. Except for Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Alonso and others have also said that Benitez never showed concern for them after a game or training. In such a situation, Benitez His situation can be described as betrayal, and it is very likely that he will become another coach dismissed this season...'”

"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Yaning raised his head, "Do you think I am forcing the palace and forcing the team to change coaches?"

"I didn't say that, I believe you are not that kind of child." Morse shook his head, "However, even if you really did that, there is nothing wrong with it. I am not Benitez, I can see clearly , Who is the most important person in this team. You are the core of the team, you are the pillar of the team, if you think it is necessary, if you need to change the coach, we will change it." [

Zhao Yaning didn’t speak, he didn’t know what to say.He is indeed angry with Benitez, but forcing the team to change coaches is something only a ball bully would do, and he feels that he shouldn't do that.

"If you really want to change managers, we can find several managers who are willing to manage Liverpool. Allardyce, Hodgson, and..."

"I don't want to think about this issue now, and I don't know what to say." Zhao Yaning interrupted him, and after a pause, he continued, "And these coaches seem to be too bad, right? In this regard, he is not bad. Mr. Chairman, I don’t want much, all I need is enough respect from him, isn’t this too much to ask for?”

"Of course not too much. I scolded him when I was watching the game in the stands. What kind of bastard can do such a thing?" Morse said, "He is a meritorious coach, but you He is a meritorious player, how could he treat you like this?"

"Mr. Chairman, you don't have to say these words, I know they are comforting."

Morse just sighed at Zhao Yaning's words, "It's comfort and the truth. During the two years you have been in Liverpool, I have always watched whether you played well or not, and I am also very aware of your contribution. Things It's a stalemate, and no one wants to see it. Personally, I hope you can reconcile, and then you can stay in the team and continue to create brilliance for Liverpool. To be honest, it doesn't matter if you change the coach or you leave , I am not very willing, I hope that everyone who has contributed to Liverpool can stay in the team, and then we can create glory together. Of course, things cannot always go as I wish, but I Hopefully it's at least as good as I hoped it would be."

"I don't know, that person... I can be sure now that he has the idea of ​​repentance, but he made mistakes inadvertently, so it is the most difficult to correct. I don't want to forgive him so easily, I want to ask Tell me about your attitude: What if I insist on leaving?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"If you insist, I will let you go. In this matter, the fault is not yours. I will not deduct the loyalty fee in your contract. Similarly, if you want to go to any team, you have negotiated the contract. We can also make concessions on our side, so that you will not be embarrassed by this. This is the most I can do. I just hope that the players who have played for Liverpool don’t hate Liverpool. I hope Liverpool The stars have feelings for Liverpool, and I hope Liverpool have feelings for the stars who have played here."

"Mr. Chairman, can I give you an answer after the World Cup?" Zhao Yaning thought for a while before speaking, "During this time, I want to think about it again."

"No problem, you can spend time thinking about it."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"You don't need to thank me. I know that this matter left Liverpool. Wherever you go, you are still the best player. But without you, Liverpool can no longer find a suitable replacement. Joey, there is one thing Things never change, for Liverpool you are the only one."
