ball at foot

The 3-2 victory over Arsenal still made the players very upset.After all, the opponent is Arsenal. They eliminated themselves in the Champions League last season. Liverpool has not been able to succeed in revenge this season. It is a bit unhappy to say the least.

However, after this game, the difference between Liverpool and Manchester United has not widened.This season, after finally waiting for Chelsea's self-destruction, they have to keep tearing up with Manchester United, which also makes Liverpool players feel really tiring.

However, after the game, another thing happened on Liverpool's training ground.

"The next game, Dirk plays as a starter."

Benitez's arrangement is a bit strange. Figo's injury has almost recovered, and even if Figo can't play, Garcia is generally the preferred right midfielder, but now, Benitez is going to put Cue Specially placed on the right side, this approach confuses everyone. [

"If Dirk goes to the right, then who will replace Diego? Also, if Dirk goes to the right, where will Luis play?"

"Robbie can continue to be a substitute. When rotation is needed, Dirk can also return to the center position. Garcia can continue to be used as a rotation player. Figo is temporarily rested. He has problems with his physical strength and state. I hope he will Stay in good shape and only play in important big scenes."

In the final stage of last season, Figo's state plummeted.At the beginning of this season, Figo was not in a good state due to insufficient rest during the offseason.After all, he is not young, and it is unrealistic to play at a high level in every game.It is precisely because of this that Liverpool has also begun to prepare other methods for the position of right midfielder.

"But, I'm Figo's number one substitute."

Garcia was quite dissatisfied with this.He has always been a substitute for Figo.As a substitute for Figo, he still regrets it. After all, Figo's level is indeed better than him, and football skills can't tell lies. There is nothing to say.

But last season he had no complaints.After all, Figo played well, and Figo's age is there. In any case, Figo can't hold on for too long, and Garcia still has hope.Besides, he played quite a few games last season, and this season, after Figo was injured, he also took the position immediately. He originally thought that the position of the right midfielder must belong to him. Grab the position with him.

"I don't have any opinion on Dirk. I like Dirk very much, but Dirk's skills are indeed not as good as mine." When Garcia said this, he was in front of Dirk. Trouble, "My offensive awareness is worse than Dirk, I can contribute more goals for the team, and I can..."

"Your defense is not as good as Dirk." Benitez interrupted him with a simple sentence, "We need a frontcourt that can return to defense. Your defensive awareness is not as good as Dirk, and your enthusiasm is also very poor. Far. He loves to come back and has the physicality, stamina and speed to make his comebacks high-quality, which you don't have."

"But I have the ability to attack, and he doesn't." Garcia retorted.

"Yes, I have considered this issue. However, my thinking is this: if Dirk helps us counter-attack and suppress in the frontcourt, then Maicon can "pierce" more, assist and organize ——You have to admit that Maicon has done very well in these aspects. It can even be said that he is our best offensive player on the right, better than you. He used to put too much energy on defense , which prevented him from showing enough strength, but now, we have Dirk, who can take charge of defense, which can greatly share his pressure, and then we can attack him The ability is released." Benitez explained, "Of course your attack is also very good, but unfortunately, if you play the main force, our frontcourt is not as oppressive as when Dirk was there. At the same time, you can't fully release Maicon's power, our team needs every player to fully release their own strength to become better."

What Benitez said made Garcia resentful, "If that's the case, wouldn't I be useless? Dirk is about the same age as me, and I can't wait for him to retire—even if he dies, later And Theo. Wouldn't I never be able to play the main force?"

"But your role is still very important. You are our most important substitute, the rotation. In fact, you should also understand that you were the rotation last season, but without you, we can't win the championship at all. You should understand this Right? You are still the most indispensable part of this team."

Garcia was noncommittal.Although he is indeed troubled by not being able to play the main force, he still has feelings for the team.No one wants to spend most of their career on the bench, but no one wants to leave their familiar environment and go elsewhere just for a main position.

He was a little uncertain about his own thoughts, but he still told himself not to think too much, "Anyway, it's the middle of the season—it won't be too late until the end of the season."

While his problem is easy to solve, the other problem is not easy to solve.This time, it was Gerrard who found Benitez.

"Are you sure that Robbie can still play in the rotation? I feel very uncertain." Gerrard didn't say this in front of Fowler. After all, his words were a little disrespectful, but he knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't say, "I love Robbie, I like watching him play football, but... After returning from China, he has been a little distracted, thinking about his nonsense business every day. I have persuaded him several times, but I have not seen him repent. I hope, You can persuade him and then consider giving him more opportunities."

Fowler has always been doing business by himself, this point is well known to the whole team, and Fowler is very smart, and he has always made a lot of money in business, this is also known to everyone, so everyone also Don't stop him - he is willing to make money, and he can make money, so what is there to stop him?

When Fowler was in England, he had always been in the real estate business.In the beginning, he was just speculating in land. Later, when the business became bigger, he even opened training courses to explain how to speculate in land. It is rare for a player to do this for the sake of business.

Everyone just turned a blind eye to this and passed it by. However, before the start of this season, after Liverpool went to China, Fowler came back out of his mind.For some reason, he wanted to expand his business to China, where he wanted to do real estate development. [

He also contacted Zhao Yaning, wanting to explain the broad prospects and future of China’s real estate to Zhao Yaning, but Zhao Yaning has never cared much about these things. In fact, he felt a headache when he heard the bunch of numbers reported by Fowler. Therefore, he directly said that he knew nothing about these things, and asked Fowler to contact Zhang Yuan.

But it seems that since then, Fowler's state has become worse and worse...

"Do we have any other forwards? Isn't he the only one? And all along, we have never expected him to have any power to decide the performance of the game! If we just talk about shooting, he is still better than Deke. Much more reliable."

Benitez also admitted that he bought out the deal of Dirk, be regarded as screwed up.In the low-level league of the Eredivisie, Couit can still rely on continuous running and excellent physical strength to make up for his lack of technical hardware, but in the Premier League, the amount of running has increased and the confrontation has increased. Now, these conditions of his are not so outstanding, but his technical deficiencies are highlighted, and his problems naturally appear.

However, even so, the sale is not a loss.After all, Couitt is still very likable: such a player who actively defends, runs hard, has excellent physical strength, does not seize opportunities, and has excellent tactical execution ability, even if he is not a very good shooter , and will definitely be able to find his place in the team.And he did find it.In the position of right midfielder, he can activate Maicon behind him, frees Milito from worrying about others taking chances, and relieves Gerrard of his defensive tasks. Although he is not necessarily stronger than Garcia, he is indeed stronger than Garcia. Garcia is a more suitable tactical puzzle.

His arrival has indeed made Liverpool stronger. The only regret is that Liverpool does not have a substitute striker now.

"Is it so profitable to run real estate in China?" Benitez just shook his head. In fact, he didn't care about this issue at all. All he cared about was Fowler's state. "I hope he can maintain his state."

"Maintenance is not difficult, but his heart is no longer in football, and it is difficult to further recover his strength."

"Don't worry about it, let's talk about it later. Diego has just recovered from his injury. After all, he is still in poor condition. His condition can still be restored. And, if it really doesn't work, let's talk about it during the winter transfer period."

After all, there is still a buffer period of ten games, let's wait and see.

At this time, Garcia has also returned to the locker room.Seeing his expression, Zhao Yaning also greeted him, "What's the matter, what did the coach say?"

Garcia did not hide anything, and said everything he said, "I understand what the coach said, but it is hard to accept. I don't want to be a substitute. I am a substitute in the national team, and I am a substitute in the club. Am I just a substitute for the rest of my life? Fate? What about defensive ability? If I have that stature and physical strength, I will definitely defend well. My enthusiasm is not bad, but it's just..."

"I know, I understand." Zhao Yaning patted him.Although this was just Garcia's complaint, it also made Zhao Yaning blush: In Liverpool's frontcourt, he is the least active defensively. Although he knows that Garcia didn't mean to say this, he still has a fever, " Otherwise, in the future, I will properly participate in defense more?"

"You are the core of the team, how can there be any reason for an artist to dare to work like a plasterer?"

"The core is nothing special. Qi Zu is in Juventus, Ronaldinho is in Barcelona, ​​don't they all have to participate in defense? Isn't the most terrifying player in the world is a player with excellent skills and a good mentality?"

Having said that, Garcia still shook his head, "Let's see and talk."

Zhao Yaning understands Garcia’s mentality very well.He also hopes that Garcia can have a game to play.However, no matter how much he appreciates Garcia, Zhao Yaning has to admit that after replacing Dirk, the team's strength has indeed improved a lot, which Garcia can't compare.

Against Bordeaux at home, Dirk Drivet started the game.Gerrard scored with a long shot and Carragher headed into the net. At the last moment of the game, Zhao Yaning made a point and Alonso scored a penalty kick. Liverpool won another game 3-0.

In the position of the right midfielder, Dirk kicked out his own demeanor.
