[Football] Crown of Thorns

The dinner party was not long and ended at almost 14:30 in the afternoon.

After Gama came out of the restaurant and got into the car that Chris came to pick him up, he sighed deeply.

His state attracted Chris' puzzled gaze.

The car started and drove towards the residence, Jia Ma stretched his waist, and muttered "Trouble" in a low voice!

After returning to the residence, Gama, who had taken a shower, sat on the sofa in a bathrobe and turned on his phone. Sure enough, as expected, he saw the news about their noon meeting.

The main reason is that Jia Ma knew that they were all being photographed at noon. Although no reporters came to interview because of the early clearance of the venue, there were many photographs.

[Everyone in the Red Army having dinner, Gerrard and Carragher welcome guests]

[Gama arrives first, conservatively dressed]

Looking at this headline, Jia Ma wants to vomit blood. He is wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. How conservative is he?

He's not a woman, why did he use this adjective—or did he misunderstand it because his English is too bad?

Chris, who brought him a glass of lemonade, took a look and burst out laughing.

Looking through the various weird headlines below, Jia Ma was already angry and happy instead.

"No wonder the vice-team told me yesterday that it's okay to just read it as a joke, don't believe it, if you really believe these titles, you won't be mad at it."

Chris took a sip of coffee, "The British newspaper industry is really not very reliable."

"Fortunately, this is a party within the team, otherwise..."

Jia Ma murmured——if it was the kind with family members, he would probably have to be kicked out and then research why he didn’t have a girlfriend, why he didn’t have a girlfriend, etc., and the next day he would probably be out of the closet up.

"Well, this title is more reliable."

Gama saw a headline that opened, "... Judging from the team's current formation, the most suitable is to play double midfielders, which can liberate the wide players to the greatest extent. Judging from yesterday's game, Johnson has advanced many times And effective passing is a good illustration of this point. Lucas needs a double midfielder partner, and our two full-backs like assists, so using double midfielders to defend and expand the defensive area can make up for the full-back assists. There are loopholes... Besides, Johnson is better than Tangning in terms of assist ability, and Tangning's performance is just average..."

"Didn't tell you?"

Hearing Gama's newspaper reading, Chris asked curiously.

"In the back," Gama coughed lightly and continued to read, "Among the newly transferred players this season, apart from Borini, the biggest bright spot is No. 85 Da Gama from the Portuguese national team. In the warm-up match, I saw that the team has played three official games so far. Except that he only appeared in the second half of the first game, in the next two games, Dagama ran an average of [-] meters per game, and the average number of effective passes was [-]%. ..." After reading his various statistics for a while, Gamaha smiled, "After the transfer from Dortmund, the Hornet fans expressed their incomprehension about the transfer of Vasco da Gama, and some extreme fans even started burning Da Gama's No. [-] jersey and other extreme means, from this point of view, it is understandable that Da Gama's transfer stabbed their hearts. Da Gama's performance in this year's European Cup has attracted everyone's attention... …Liverpool made the right move, Gerrard's level of persuasion is quite high, and Da Gama also repaid Gerrard's trust..."

"Although what I said was a bit messy, it's still a compliment to you in general!"

Chris laughed.

"Well, probably so!"

Jia Ma smiled and put down the phone, "I'm going to take a rest, call me in two hours."

"Is there a night training tonight?"

"Well, there is the Europa League preliminaries in the middle of the week. Mr. Rogers seems to be still thinking about the team formation and main list. I guess it is unlikely to send all the main players in the middle of the week, because the weekend will be against Manchester City. However," Gama shook his head. "I can't relax..."

…………

As Gama had guessed before, although coach Rodgers brought some of his main force to the Uthai Castle Stadium in Scotland for the away game of the Europa League preliminaries in midweek, he still played with all his strength against Midlothian Hearts Football Club. Played off the bench, and finally won the opponent 1-0 in the away game.

Of course, judging from the statistics after the game, it can be said that Liverpool won the opponent with the opponent's defender's own goal after a bitter battle in the first round. In the game, the Red Army had 8 to 9 shots, 4 to 3 shots on target, and 8 to 7 corner kicks. It can be said that they have no advantage at all.

However, Rogers didn't care about the comments from the outside world. He put all his energy on the league match with Manchester United on the weekend.

Naturally, Jia Ma didn't care much, because he didn't appear at all! ! !

…………

The coach at the front spoke quack, and Jia Ma, who used to like to sit at the back, propped his chin and seemed to be listening seriously, but his mind was already distracted.

Manchester City on the weekend, Arsenal next week, the Black Cats next week, and Manchester United next... Tsk tsk Who arranged this matchup? It seems that the rumors that the Red Army has many enemies in the UK are not just bragging, hehe~~

At this time, someone beside him stabbed Jia Ma's waist, and he was almost knocked down by this stab.

Looking sideways, quack, it's actually Suarez—hey, wasn't he sitting on the other side before?

I saw Suarez showing his white teeth and smiling at him very honestly, "Shiko."

"Louis, what's the matter?"

"I want to practice cooperation with you."

Gama looked at him—Suarez's teeth are really white—"No problem, practice tonight in night training."

"Ok."

Watching Suarez bend over and walk back among the sitting teammates, Gama glanced sideways at the coach in front of him. Rodgers had already noticed the small movements here, but he did not respond.

Well, it seems that Rodgers is still very tolerant to the stars!

Gama pondered.

Regarding the match against Manchester City, Rodgers was also very distressed. The defensive general Agger was suspended with a red card, and the midfielder Lucas was injured and missed. Although Gerrard can play, the captain's physical fitness...

Then he saw Suarez's small movements, yes, Rodgers suddenly thought of Dagama's position in Dortmund.

"Gama."

After the tactical meeting, Rogers called Gama to stop.

Gama walked over and stood quietly in front of Rogers with an obedient expression on his face.

His reaction made Rogers twitch his lips—what are you pretending to be good for? Is it true that no one knows!

Although Da Gama is not the player he wants to buy, he is just a midfielder who didn't dare to buy back a high-end midfielder before, so he can only make a second choice!

"I watched some videos of your time at Dortmund and I want to talk to you about your position."

"Ok sir."

Gama nodded obediently.

Seeing the completely different reaction of Gama and his character, Roger paused and decided to speak quickly, "Your performance in the midfield is more prominent and aggressive. I want to retreat Gerrard's position. I'll let you go forward..."

After talking with the coach, Gama ran back to the training ground and found Suarez who was practicing passing and receiving with Gerrard there.

"Steven, Louis, let's practice together!"

Gama was really frightened by Suarez's failure to score in the first game of the league. He decided to practice Suarez's shooting well.

"Hello!"

Passed the ball passed by Gerrard to Suarez, but watched him fly the ball directly facing the empty goal. Once, twice or three times, Gama yelled at Suarez unbearably.

Suarez smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on."

Jia Ma felt that he was so patient - he had experienced more outrageous pasts where he couldn't shoot no matter what - he couldn't bear this kind of problem of not getting any shots.

"Did you use the wrong amount of force on your ankle?"

Gama, who observed it twice more, asked Suarez.

The Uruguayan grinned, "Hey this~~" He looked down at his ankle, and after a while he seemed to think, "I'm sorry, I forgot that I was injured here before, so I can't help but stop when I exert strength." Power..." Seeing the expressions on the faces of Gama and Gerrard, Suarez laughed a few times, with a look of embarrassment.

Taking a breath, Gama turned his head and said to Gerald, "Can I beat him?"

In the end, Gerald just smiled, "I guess you can't beat him."

Gama turned his head silently. Sure enough, Gerrard only loves the striker, and he only loves the midfielder like him. Hey, no, Gerrard only loves the midfielder who went to Real Madrid!

The sad Gama looked at Suarez, Suarez smiled honestly on my face, then walked over to Gama and said, "I can give you two hits."

His reaction left Gama speechless. In the end, Gama just stretched out his hand and touched the black curly hair on Suarez's head. It was just right to raise his hand five centimeters lower than him... Gama: My height is finally fixed at 1.86 meters, which is on par with my team leader's good friend (^_^).

It looks black and dense and feels good!

Gama, who made such comments on his opponent's touch, smiled, "Lewis, let's try again."

The player's ankle is a very important part, so after the injury, he will unconsciously shrink back to protect it. He can understand that he would unconsciously shrink for a while after the injury before.

The three practiced passing and shooting repeatedly until Gama knew Suarez's habit and technical characteristics of receiving the pass and hitting the goal, and also let Suarez know the strength of Gama's passing at different distances and directions. Individuals finally have an initial technical understanding of their teammates.

And just like that, as the clock ticked, the race weekend approached.

Gama will also face Manchester City, the blue team for the first time——

"Hey, Aguero, the son-in-law of the football king, is a Manchester City player, right?"

Before warming up, Gama put on his training clothes and was about to go out when he suddenly asked Joe Allen who was right beside him.

The Welsh teenager, who just transferred to the Red Army half a month ago, looked up at his new teammates. Although they had cooperated in the first game of the league, the two of them were not familiar with each other in private. Qiao Ailun, who was still childish like a boy, froze for a moment and then nodded.

"Aguero, yes, he's a Manchester City player."

"By the way, there is also Balotelli, the golden boy of Italy..."

Even though he had seen the opponent's 18-man roster before the game, Gama still had nothing to say and chatted with Joe Allen.

Realizing that Gama was actively releasing a friendly signal, Joe Allen also relaxed a lot. The two of them can be regarded as midfield partners today, and it is naturally best to be able to communicate smoothly.

Chatted with his teammates and walked out together. Gama felt that there was someone he knew very well when he saw the opposing player. It was not until he and Joe Allen started warming up that he suddenly thought of who it was. He was the Netherlands who had bumped into him in the World Cup in South Africa. The team's De Jong, borrowing from the fans often joked, said: North German Jongnan Pepe, one of them can be safe for the world-tsk tsk, how could he ignore this person in the tactical meeting and when looking at the list?

Hey, it's useless to be old!

The self-deprecating Gamap burst out laughing.

"how?"

Joe Allen, who was warming up by playing football with Gama, looked at Gama strangely and asked.

Jia Ma looked up at the sky and sighed, "The opponent's defense is very strong, so be careful."

Joe Allen nodded, "I know."

The new teammate was younger than him and even shorter than Messi. The boy with a cute face was really nice. Gama walked over with itchy hands and rubbed the boy's brown hair again and again, in exchange for the Welsh boy's eyes.

"Hey, today's game was played well."

"Of course."

Although young, Jo Allen, who is already a Welsh international, rolled his eyes at his new partner with weak paws, and raised his head.

"Hey~~"

Gama put his hands on his hips and grinned.

The author has something to say:

PS: I joked that the car was black and hard before, but in fact, the blue moon of this season is also black and bright!haha~
