[Football] Crown of Thorns

Although the game was a draw, the scene of Liverpool going from leading to lagging and even almost losing made many media ridicule Liverpool's first league game.

Anyway, when his teammates were sleeping or listening to music or chatting softly on the way back, Gama took out his mobile phone and checked the news on the Internet. He felt that there were not many friendly reports on the Red Army.

After this game, according to the post-match statistics, Gama ran 10100 meters in his league debut, with a pass success rate of 85%, a steal success rate of 90%, and 3 shots and 1 goal. The number of goals is 1, the number of assists is 1. In general, the average index is the first. He was named the best player of the game and got a bottle of the legendary champagne.

However, Jiama has only looked at these data, which cannot be regarded as real data. After all, he has noticed that there are quite a lot of inappropriate cooperation between him and his new teammates, and he needs more training to make up for these in the future. Insufficient in terms of aspects, and he still underestimated the intensity of the Premier League game. Feeling the bruises on his body, Jia Ma put down the requirements for strengthening physical strength training and prepared to implement it in future training.

Gama still wants to see the evaluation of other teammates and the entire team.

[If Joe Messi can play well, we will not worry! ]

Who is this talking about?

Gama was stunned for a moment, and after reading and re-reading the content of the report, he realized that it was about Joe Cole—was he blackmailing Joe Cole or scolding Rogers for letting the injured Joe Cole Will you play?

[…Liverpool’s Joe Messi is the biggest weapon for oppressing opponents in the frontcourt. If Gerrard’s position can be raised to a higher position, the two of them can play more kicks against the wall. The contribution will be even greater...]

Confused, Gama read it several times, but still found it strange. At this moment, Carragher, who was sitting next to him and had been dozing off, turned his head and glanced at Gama's phone. He glanced at the page that Gama was pondering. Laugh.

"Don't be surprised, it's the media in London. If you believe their reports, you might as well read the Sun."

Hearing that Carragher, the deputy team, used the "Sun" to satirize the content of this report, Gama immediately understood what he meant to say that this media is unreliable, so there is no need to read their content.

In Liverpool, maybe when you mention the various reports and rumors mentioned by the tabloids, everyone will laugh it off, but Liverpool people absolutely do not accept the entry and reporting of the "Sun", the main reason is because of their understanding of the Hillsborough tragedy Report - The Hillsborough tragedy in April 1989, in which 4 Red Army fans were killed shocked the world, but people would be even more shocked when they opened the next day's "The Sun", which was called "The Truth" report at the time It described in detail how Liverpool fans rioted and created this tragedy, preventing medical staff from entering the scene to rescue after the tragedy, while they were stealing the deceased's property, even urinating on the corpse, insulting the dead woman with obscene words, and trying to rape a woman The female corpse... After investigation, this "truth" is outright fake news. Since then, Liverpool people have collectively blocked the Sun newspaper, and the Sun newspaper, which is the number one seller in the UK, still cannot gain a firm foothold in Liverpool today.

Because when I checked the information before, there was a special section in the introduction of Liverpool's history that introduced their grievances with the Sun, so Gama nodded knowingly, and after closing that report, he turned to another page - Borini's Scissorhands, who is worth millions, may not need to prove anything, but as Rodgers' favorite disciple, shooting and running are the only goals of this dexterous striker...

"Hey, you don't need to look at this."

Carragher stretched out his big hand to swipe on the phone page, and changed another title-what kind of players does Liverpool need: If a speedy and technical winger can be recruited, then the transfer of players this summer will be impressive satisfy……

You treat the team's loan return and the new striker as dead!

Seeing this, Jia Ma silently glanced at the deputy team, and simply closed the news page.

Carragher cleared his throat and tried to explain it to his new teammates, although he thought it might not be useful - the British newspaper industry is famous all over the world!

"There is actually no comprehensive professional sports media in the UK, you know that?" He said this first, and before Gama could answer Carragher, he continued, "There are only various tabloids here, the slightly larger ones There are "Times", "Guardian", "Daily Telegraph", "Independent", etc. These newspapers all have a sports section, in addition to those tabloids, such as "The Sun", "Mirror", "Daily The Daily Mail, The Daily News, etc. If there is anything more reliable, it may only be "442", but it sells magazines."

Jia Ma thought for a while. The few reports he read just now seemed to be the content of the online editions of the Mirror and the Daily News.

"In other words, you don't need to read their reports."

"To pass the time, you can still read some gossips that are quite funny, but never believe what's in them."

Although I know that my new teammate played in Germany before, and the German media gossips quite a lot, but compared to the unscrupulous British media, the German media still has a sense of propriety, so Carragher warned Gama the first thing in the UK, Just don't believe the nonsense of those media.

"It's really that exaggerated."

Although he has heard and read a lot of information before, Gama, who has not yet experienced the pain of coming to the UK, still feels that it is too exaggerated.

"It's not an exaggeration at all," Carragher shook his head seriously, "To use a metaphor, if you show up in today's game, you will be able to see more than three reports about your sexual orientation and emotional analysis immediately after the game Content, by the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Uh, no."

Gama, who was taken aback by what Carragher said, shook his head.

"Well, I'm not inquiring about your privacy, but you must be careful when you date in the future..."

Carragher explained to Gama a few important points to pay attention to when dating in the UK, and then he comforted his new teammate, who was obviously shocked, "It doesn't matter if the wave is, the important thing is to find a strict mouth, OK ?”

"..."

Gama felt that he had once again refreshed his football skills, but it was really scary.

He is a good man who is conscientious, introverted and well-behaved, and he feels that he can't accept the atmosphere here.

"Don't they all say British gentlemen? How could this be?"

Gama's doubts were exchanged for Carragher's mysterious smile, "Everyone has another side that is unknown, and the other side hidden in the hearts of gentlemen is mostly likely to be sullen. You have been in the UK for a long time. will know."

"Hehe~"

Jia Ma felt very tired.

Carragher, on the other hand, was very satisfied that he had completed the admonition to his new teammates and the duty of admonition, and put on the blindfold with a smile on his face to rest.

…………

Waking up in the new location the next morning, after doing morning exercises, Gama ate some fried eggs on black bread and oatmeal milk, took out the map and continued to study the topographic map of Liverpool.

"Going out?"

Chris, who finished packing the tableware, came over, glanced at the map in his hand, and asked.

"Gerald treats guests at noon, let me see where the restaurant is."

When he got up early in the morning, he received a text message from Captain Gerald, telling him where to gather at noon. Gama was considering whether to drive there by himself or ask Chris to drive him.

However, Jia Ma, who studied the map for a while, still dropped the map, "Chris, take me there at noon."

For the sake of safety and insurance, he should let Chris send him!

"Ok."

Although Gama has never felt that he is a big star now, after experiencing the scene of being frantically besieged by reporters after yesterday's game-fortunately he did not answer any questions from those people-he only accepted interviews with Liverpool club officials, I talked about the feelings of the first scene and other scenes...By the way, after returning last night, he still couldn't help but read the news reports again, and was shocked by the interview content that he didn't say at all. Big jump.

Sure enough, as the deputy team warned, these British tabloids are the most unreliable, they can make up everything he didn't say, and if he wants to say something, it's too bad to make it up!

At noon, Chris drove Gama to the street entrance outside the restaurant mentioned in Gerald's text message. After checking that the time was half an hour earlier than the agreed time, Gama decided to take a walk around here.

When I came to the UK, I realized that they eat four meals a day, and lunch is concentrated after [-]:[-] noon, so it is not good to come early.

There is no so-called British food in Liverpool - it seems that even the British themselves don't think they need to cook. The restaurants on the street basically have dishes from all over the world. Only they themselves think that French fries and cereal are their delicious food...

Use your mobile phone to search the local food map. This restaurant is not owned by Agger. The restaurant that Gerald booked seems to be quite famous in the local area. Well, it is not just a restaurant, but similar to a gastropub. That kind of restaurant offers British cuisine (what the hell, there are cuisines in the UK? Gama language), rabbit meat, wild boar, etc. It is not easy to make a reservation at ordinary times.

It seems that Gerald must have used his identity to book, hum~~

Gama groaned. After visiting the street where there were not many people, he strolled to the entrance of the restaurant. There was a sign of The Monro hanging on the outer wall decorated in the style of a European castle. Gama also saw that Gerrard was standing Talking to the people at the door.

"Hey Chico!"

Seeing Gama approaching, Gerald greeted him.

Gama, who smiled back, walked over and saw the vice-team Carragher standing beside Gerrard, who was covered by the door, "Good afternoon!"

As time passed, teammates came one after another, and Jia Ma soon knew that this was not a simple meal, but a pre-season gathering of the team, a gathering organized by the team committee.

Tsk tsk, every club seems to have such a practice. It was probably because the transfer was not fully settled before, but now the basic personnel of the team have been confirmed, and the league has begun, so the captains have to fulfill their obligations.

Just like what Carragher warned in his conversation with himself yesterday, the team committee should propose team rules to the players.

Sure enough, after eating and drinking for a while, as the captain of the Red Army, Gerrard first said some words of welcome to the new teammates, and then talked about the club's expectations for the new season, and then the rules of the team.

Such as leave regulations, such as how to deal with locker room issues, etc.

In fact, these regulations in each team are probably similar, and of course there are some differences depending on the team. It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not, it doesn't matter what you say... Of course, the attitude of the players should be clear about what they can't do and so on.

However, Gama blinked. He thought that the golden boy from the Red Army had cooperated with The Sun?

I don't know if this news is true or not, oh, he looked up at Gerrard, it's really not easy for him to guard the Red Army for so many years!

In any case, the championship is the most important thing.

Hope to get good grades!

Jia Ma silently set a goal for himself: in the new season, the goal is to win the championship!
