Chapter 643 An Extraordinary Half Year

Chapter 643 An Extraordinary Half Year
On 12 December, Liverpool scored another minimum spend win:

They defeated their opponents in the 5th round of the league-West Bromwich Albion 2-16 at Anfield.

Regarding the two conceded goals, Long Shute expressed his helplessness.

He has tried his best to help his teammates defend, but he still can't stop the opponent's offense.

The two conceded goals were both free kick opportunities. West Bromwich Albion's tall defender took advantage of the fire in the chaotic penalty area. No matter how strong Long Shute was, he could only do nothing.

Anyway... relying on Mignolet's high-altitude saving ability, he won't get any zero seal bonus.
-
After playing this game, Rodgers quickly gave everyone a day off, which is also their rare one-week game time in December.

Of course Long Shute wants to be with Emma, ​​after all, a new marriage is better than a small break.

In order not to be disturbed, they even drove the plane alone and landed in an empty wilderness, and then the whole plane trembled violently.

As the actual controller of the club, Long Shute did not completely let go of the club. He had arranged for the staff of the club a few weeks ago to hold an event at noon on December 12th two days later. A formal banquet, as the club's Christmas greetings to players and coaches.

Venue layout, gift purchase, banquet program, invitation distribution, catering production... He doesn't need to worry about these, as long as he gives an order, there will naturally be professionals to arrange for him.

And that day will come soon.

"2015 was an extraordinary year. In this year, a Chinese consortium from the far east became the owner of this century-old club. They brought huge financial support to Liverpool and also brought the hope of recovery. hope……"

Tom Johnson, the general manager of the club specially hired by Long Shute, published the work summary of the past six months on behalf of the top management, and also sent Christmas and New Year wishes to the players, coaches and staff:
"Trust us, Liverpool will be even better next year!"

With bursts of applause, everyone raised their glasses of red wine.

After the high-level representatives, head coach Rodgers also had a speech:
"To be honest, in June this year, I actually reached a crossroads in my coaching career. I had a lot of concerns and even wanted to go back to my hometown to farm, but I am very glad that I was able to stay, otherwise I would not Witness the arrival of history with your own eyes!

I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication in this half season. Without you, I would not have won the best coach of the three months. Haha, I hope everyone will continue to support me in the future, and we will create a better tomorrow together.

Just like what Tom just said, I also firmly believe that in the coming 2016, our team will definitely be even better! "

There was another round of applause, this time mixed with two whistles from the players.

It's no wonder that a head coach who gets along day and night is of course more approachable than a high-ranking general manager.

Finally, as the captain of the team, Long Shute also held the cup and stepped onto the low stage:
"I'm not going to thank everyone for their efforts in the past because the season is far from over."

Rogers, who had just stepped off the stage, curled his lips. He felt that he was being used as a stepping stone by this boss again...

Just listen to Long Shute say:
"There is no need to say more about the cruelty of professional football. If we are empty-handed at the end of the season, then the efforts and results of the first half of the season will be infinitely close to 0, and no one will pay attention to our triumphant progress on the four fronts before Christmas, the league The fact that the standings have been leading for a long time will become a reason for them to laugh at us.

Sorry, what I said may be a little heavy, and it doesn't fit today's atmosphere.But I just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that this is not the time for us to celebrate.

But I also firmly believe that when the season ends, we will definitely be able to use the championship trophy as a container for wine and drink again!When the time comes... either get drunk or leave! "

"Never get drunk!"

The young lads responded with a bang, and there was a huge echo in the entire banquet hall.

This is a gathering within the club. Every player and coach brings his wife, children or female companions. In addition, the club also invites famous figures such as Gerrard, Carragher, Dalglish, Fowler, etc. If you join For ordinary staff, the total number of participants will probably exceed 800 people...

In order to hold this party, Liverpool directly leased a nearby private manor, and temporarily remodeled the internal equipment. In addition to the formal banquet hall, it also includes tea seating area, game area, singing area, children's entertainment area, etc. Messy area...

There is even a large indoor heated swimming pool, which shows how corrupt the lives of these big landowners in England are!

"Steven, Jamie, I hope you all had a great time today."

Long Shute quickly found the two old captains in the crowd.

Both Gerrard and Carragher clinked glasses with him with smiles on their faces.

Carragher is even more outspoken:
"You did a great job. Thanks to you, I have now become a popular guest on major TV stations and newspapers. Gary Neville can't hold his head up in front of me at all!"

Long Shu shrugged:

"Hey, I'm not looking for you to hear you brag about yourself. I just hope you don't make any more comments in these media, which will add a lot of extra pressure to the team."

Carragher looked sad:
"Do you know how much money I can make for a program and a column? Uh... don't look at me like that, I'm just joking, I will pay attention to restraint and try not to have a negative impact on the team..."

But Gerald, who was very familiar with him, still shook his head:
"Don't believe he can control his mouth, Long. Even if he swears to God here today, he will definitely say everything on TV tomorrow, and even take the initiative to tell others. The new Liverpool captain warned him not to make random comments. ..."

Long Shute couldn't help being dumbfounded.

It seems that this is indeed the case, otherwise... Carragher would not be called Ka Dasang! -
Just half an hour after the banquet, the club's press officer reminded everyone through the microphone:

"I'm sorry to disturb you, our head coach still doesn't forget his work at this time, he wants to invite everyone to watch the draw ceremony of the Europa League knockout round..."

"cut……"

"Workaholic!"

"Can't you watch the news by yourself?"

There was a burst of boos in the banquet hall.

Rogers was not ashamed at all, instead he glared at those guys who dared to boo him, and then put on the prestige of the head coach:

"You don't need to participate in tomorrow's training. Anyway, I seriously doubt your professionalism. You don't even know who our opponent is!"
-
经过小组赛6轮的厮杀,欧联杯12个小组诞生了24支晋级淘汰赛的球队,加上8支欧冠小组赛No.3的球队,32强就这样集结完毕。

The bald Infantino, who has been promoted from UEFA Secretary-General to the acting head of UEFA, is still in charge of the draw ceremony together with his old partner and director of athletics, Marchetti. They first introduced the 32 teams that have advanced to the knockout round and grading situation.

When Marchetti announced a familiar name, most of the audience laughed.

"Manchester United... was eliminated from the Champions League?!"

Rogers couldn't help clinking glasses with several assistant coaches, gloating over his misfortune.

Manchester United under the leadership of Van Gaal was eliminated by two rookie teams, Wolfsburg and PSV Eindhoven. This is so gratifying!

Let you laugh at Liverpool at the beginning of the season that they can only play in the Europa League!
Now... are you here too? -
In addition to Liverpool and Manchester United, the old enemies of England, this year's Europa League top 32 also has a lot of strong teams.

For example, Tottenham in the Premier League, Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Schalke 04, Bayer Leverkusen, Villarreal in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Valencia, Naples in Serie A, Lazio, Fiorentina, Marseille in Ligue [-], Saint-Etienne, Sporting Lisbon in Portuguese Super League, Galatasaray in Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce, Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, etc.

In the personal operation of the two hosts, Liverpool got a fairly good signing:

Augsburg from the Bundesliga.

Manchester United's luck is even better. Their opponent is Midtjylland from Denmark. At first glance, it seems to be a team of the four-nation coalition...

What an unexpected matchup.
