Revive Liverpool

Chapter 34 A Difficult Game

Li Nan and coach Pochettino came to the office.

Li Nan said to Pochettino: "I tell you a good news, the team has now introduced Navas; I tell you a bad news, the team intends to sell Reina during this winter transfer period, if Navas performs well during this winter transfer period."

"I hope you can understand that Reina may not appear in the team's next game list."

Pochettino was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly transfer Reina away? Did someone make an offer to Reina?Asked: "Why do you want to transfer him? He has performed well recently! The team's performance can not be separated from him!"

Li Nan replied: "I know that Reina is very important to the current team, especially the next game will be intensive, and it will be even more important."

"But the team also believes that Reina's recent performance in the news media has made the team very embarrassed. The team now does not want its players to cause some bad influence on the team."

"So if possible, Reina will leave during this winter transfer period. He will even leave with a reduced transfer fee, as long as there is a team that wants it."

Pochettino said: "So Keylor will be the next main goalkeeper for the team?"

"If there are no accidents, I'm afraid it is."

Pochettino continued: "You are so optimistic about Navas?"

"Yeah. I think he's going to be the goalkeeper for the next decade or so."

Pochettino continued: "Then what if you're wrong?"

Li Nan said: "Then make mistakes and make mistakes. Use him for one season first. Anyway, I don't have any championship requirements for you this season. You just need to do your best."

"If Keylor Navas is not qualified for the team's goalkeeper position in the second half of the season, then the team will re-introduce a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer. The choice of the goalkeeper is up to you."

"Okay, then it's settled."

"Then before Navas has grown into a reliable goalkeeper for the team, and Reina has not yet transferred, can Reina continue to be the goalkeeper and train Navas a lot?"

Hearing what Pochettino said, Li Nan knew that Pochettino still didn't trust Navas.

Said, "Well, yes, but I hope the coaches of the team can work overtime for Navas, teach him well, and let him grow up quickly."

"I believe that after a period of training, when you see his shining points, you will also be optimistic about him."

"Okay, since you have said so, it is estimated that this matter has been settled, so I can only do this!"

"Believe me, Pochettino, Navas will give you a safe goal."

After discussing with Pochettino, Li Nan thought about it and felt that it was necessary to talk to Reina about his transfer.

But Li Nan was embarrassed to tell Reina directly that the team wanted you to transfer and leave. After all, Reina had been with the team for a long time, and there was no credit, and there was still hard work.

I have to think about this matter again, let's talk about it when I come back.

The next day, January 1th, Liverpool ushered in the 5nd round of the Premier League - an away game against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

In the current round of the league before the Liverpool game, the defending champion Chelsea lost 0:1 to the vice squad Wolves, and Arsenal drew 0:0 with Manchester City.

Several giants have lost one after another, and I feel that Liverpool is also in danger.

At the same time, the Red Army captain Steven Gerrard started the game, and he became the 10th player to represent the team to reach 550 games.

In the original time and space, Liverpool would lose this game with a score of [-] to [-], and this game was the direct cause of Hodgson's dismissal.

But now Liverpool may not necessarily lose to Blackburn. Although the players have not changed much, the team's tactical system and mental state are different.

4 minutes into the game, Torres scored a goal, but it was a pity that he was offside first.

Everything is the same as the game in the original time and space, and everything that happened in the first half is the same as before.

In the 32nd minute, Blackburn launched a counterattack, MB-Diouf sent a direct pass from the left, Olsen shot in the left rib and succeeded, and Blackburn led Liverpool [-]-[-] at home.

In the 38th minute, Benjani received a pass from Peterson in the penalty area, leaned on Kyrjakos's chest to stop the ball, then turned around and shot, the ball scored, Blackburn led [-]-[-], and Blackburn expanded the score at home.

At halftime, Liverpool trailed [-]-[-] away.

Seeing that the team is now behind zero to two, Li Nan knows that his team's current defense still has many problems.

Greek defender Kyrjakos, who once won the team's player of the month, has become a big cancer in the defense.

In the first half of the game, he was beaten by his opponent several times against mere Benjani, and lost a goal in a direct confrontation.

Konchesky, Johnson, and Reina have all made low-level mistakes to varying degrees.

Although the team's offense is also not strong, Liverpool's defense will be a bigger problem this season.

Li Nan felt that it was necessary for him to introduce a top central defender during this winter transfer period to fill the crisis in the team's defense. Only one Kanter was not enough.

The second half began. In the 57th minute, Hoilett easily wiped the defense of two Liverpool defenders with a feint on the left side, and then made a pass near the baseline. Benjani easily pushed the shot from 6 meters in front of the goal. Blackburn continued to expand the score [-]-[-].

Li Nan couldn't believe his eyes. Without Hodgson, Liverpool still fell behind [-]-[-] against Blackburn. I hope Pochettino can bring some changes, and the next game will be different.

After conceding a goal again, Liverpool began to fight back desperately.Under constant violent attack.

In the 80th minute, Dirk Dirk made a cross from the right. Torres shot in front of the goal and was blocked by Blackburn's defender, but then Gerrard followed up with a supplementary shot from the right and scored. Liverpool rewritten the score to [-]-[-], saving some face for Liverpool.

Gerrard didn't make any celebrations, rushed directly to the goal, picked up the ball and immediately returned to the midfield, waiting for the opponent to be ready as well.

Apparently he's still hoping for a win or a draw.

Under the influence of captain Gerrard, Liverpool players also returned to the midfield, ready to continue to work hard to achieve some different results.

In the 85th minute, Gerrard was tripped by Salgado in the restricted area, and the referee took a penalty kick. Gerrard took a deep breath at the penalty spot.

He took a few steps back and rushed forward without any hesitation, just moving forward in one breath.

The football flew up and flew towards the goal quickly. The opponent's goalkeeper Boone had no time to react, the ball went into the goal, and Gerrard scored a penalty.

Liverpool tied the score at two to three, with more than five minutes left in the game, and the suspense of the game seemed to be back.
