Revive Liverpool

Chapter 226 The old friend is here

Liverpool will soon return to Anfield for the next game.

After the end of the season and this game also has old acquaintances from Liverpool coming.

Liverpool's next game is the second leg of the Champions League against Napoli in Serie A.

Benitez, who took over Chelsea as the firefighting coach in the middle of last season, was fired by Chelsea after the season ended.

After that, everything has been said. Mourinho "entered the palace" Chelsea for the second time, and Benitez can only leave Chelsea.

Benitez, who left Chelsea, was recruited by Naples.

Benitez said at the press conference of joining Naples, Benitez said; "Returning to Serie A is not revenge against Inter Milan."

The reason is that after Benitez was abandoned by Liverpool, he was invited by Inter Milan.

Benitez, who went to Inter Milan, never forgot about Liverpool, and his record in Inter Milan was not good, especially in the Milan derby, which disappointed Chairman Moratti.

So, he was fired.

Although Benitez said that it was not revenge against Inter Milan, Benitez still did not forget the "contrast between old and new", and justified his failure at Inter Milan by emphasizing the planning and attractiveness of Naples.

"I actually prefer to recall the good times of those months, like when we won the Italian Super Cup and the Club World Cup."

When accepting the Spanish magazine "116 Minutes", Benitez vented his unhappiness.

"A lot of people were not objective about my work during that time because they didn't know the truth of the matter.

In fact, our coaching staff and the club leadership sat together to formulate a plan at the beginning. We decided to update and reform the team to a certain extent. We also talked about the names of some new players, but in the end this plan was not implemented at all.

From my point of view, that was the root cause of that season's failure.

In fact, the reasons for the next few seasons are similar, and the planning and execution are not coordinated.Moreover, Inter Milan missed the best plan to update the team. If it does not do so, the team cannot guarantee continuous victory. "

After three years, Benitez returned to Serie A again, this time Benitez is much more mellow.

In an interview with the media, Benitez also said: "I am overwhelmed by the charm of Mr. De Laurentiis. He can always bring us surprises. And I got the opportunity to coach in Serie A again. I hope to work here for a long time, because that will show that I have achieved enough results."

But Benitez still did not forget Liverpool. When talking about his impression of Naples, Benitez even compared Naples to his beloved Liverpool.

"It gave me a Liverpool feel. The fans and the club have a lot of trust in me and that's the most important thing to start a journey with.

It was clear to me that in Naples I could build something important myself, which is a motivation I really crave at this stage of my career.

In many ways, it makes me feel like when I first arrived at Liverpool in 2004, the enthusiasm of the fans, the city's love for football. "

Benitez's love for Liverpool really moved Liverpool fans, but it is a pity that Benitez failed to continue coaching Liverpool.

When talking about the goals of the season, Benitez also used Liverpool as a comparison, and did not specify what champion, "What I am doing now is to strengthen the strength of Naples, hoping to have a continuous long-term development plan here.

What I am most happy about is that in Naples, from the club to the players, they are full of determination and energy, which is a very necessary factor in football.Again, I hope this is the new Liverpool. "

And Benitez who came to Liverpool is still very familiar.

After all, Benitez also came here once in the first half of the year, but the team that Benitez represented at that time was Chelsea.

The match between Liverpool and Naples starts in early October.

The head coaches of the two teams met before the game. Naples still expressed his love for Liverpool to the outside world, but also expressed that he would lead the team to a victory here.

And Klopp just met Pochettino, and then met Benitez.

Among the head coaches who have coached Liverpool, Hodgson is the only one who is still coaching now.

However, Hodgson is now leading the England national team, and it is estimated that he will not be able to touch it.

The other Gerald Houllier, and Phil Thompson, who once served as his assistant coach, are no longer coaching.

This kind of distress of meeting the former head coach of the team will not be encountered by Manchester United's Moyes now.

Ferguson survived all his previous Manchester United coaches, and he retired honorably in the end, leaving Moyes alone in the end.

In addition to the familiar head coach, there is also an old friend who also came to Anfield today.

That is Reina, once the goalkeeper of Liverpool.

Reina also came to Naples this season, and continued to fight with his former head coach Benitez.

After nearly three seasons away, Reyna came to Liverpool again.

Regarding Reina's departure, Li Nan also felt that what he did was a bit wrong.

During the transfer winter of the 2010-11 season, Reina was transferred to Benfica as part of the David Luiz deal.

In fact, Reina's performance that season was not bad. The reason Li Nan sent Reina away at that time was that Reina had been on the Internet at that time, and he had been criticizing the club's work in interviews with the media.

In fact, it is obvious that Reina's accusation is not dissatisfaction with the club, but just hopes that the club can make signings, reinforcements, and not degenerate.

However, there was no way, Li Nan wanted to help Navas to the top.

Although Li Nan didn't want to put Navas in the position immediately, he planned to let Reina continue to be Liverpool's main goalkeeper at the time, play in the league, warm up Navas in the domestic cup games, and grow up.

But if Li Nan wanted to completely straighten Navas, he had to drive Reina out.

And it is not easy to drive out a team's meritorious goalkeeper, you have to find an excuse!
At that time, Reina gave Liverpool a good excuse.

And if this excuse is not used, it will not be easy for Li Nan to find another excuse.

So Li Nan chose to use this excuse to drive Reina away.

Otherwise, when it comes time to transfer in the summer, what excuse should Li Nan use to transfer Reina away and get Navas right?

So, the final result came out, Reina was driven away in advance, and Navas was righted in advance.

Having said so much, I just want to say that Li Nan still feels a little sorry for driving Reina away.

But good luck tricks people, everything is a foregone conclusion and there is no way.
