Green Life

"Mr. Benitez, why didn't you let Mark start? Is there any contradiction?"

"Mr. Benitez, you have conceded an away goal, are you still confident of beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to advance to the semi-finals?"

"Mr. Benitez, how is Mark doing now, will it affect his next game?"

"Mr. Benitez, Mark, who came on as a substitute at the end, equalized for Liverpool. Do you regret that he was late?"

After the game, the Anfield press conference hall was full of noise. Reporters from various countries raised their arms and asked various questions, most of which focused on his formation and use of Mark.

The game is over, and Liverpool was tied 1:1 by Chelsea at home. Although they avoided the fate of Anfield being conquered, they also lost the initiative to advance to the final.

There are too few teams that dare to attack at Stamford Bridge, but now that they have conceded an away goal, Liverpool have to attack again.

Youdao lost the first move and was frustrated every step of the way. The fog began to cover them from the moment they lost the ball.

Benitez didn't know that Mark Qin's last goal did not make Liverpool completely desperate, but the game is like this, and victory cannot always be on your side.

He helped the microphone and said calmly: "There is no problem between Mark and I. He was not allowed to start today because of tactical considerations."

"But looking at his expression throughout the game, he seemed unhappy, especially after scoring a goal. It is rare to see him... um... such crazy celebrations, as if he was venting," the reporter just said immediately.

Benitez glanced at him disdainfully, "Are you a psychologist? Why did you come here? How do you know that Mark is unhappy? He broke the record today, so he is very happy."

"Then do you still hope to reach the finals three times in four years?" Another reporter asked.

"We have been to Stamford Bridge many times and won there. It is not an invincible place. There are 90 minutes in the game. An away goal is not an insurmountable gap..."

In the locker room, Mark Qin was lying quietly on the massage table in the back room with a thick gauze wrapped around his head. After he scored, there were only two or three minutes left in the game. The head coaches of the two teams each used a tactical substitution. Wasted this little time.

Ma Keqin went directly into the locker room from the sidelines. The team doctor told him that his chest was fine and he had three stitches on the wound on his head.

He has a slight concussion, so let him pay more attention to rest these days.

Sammy Lee told him that Benitez had given him three days off, and that he would not be included in the squad for the away game against Birmingham three days later, so he should rest in Liverpool.

Although he scored a goal and vented again during the celebration, he felt a little lost when he returned to the locker room. Maybe the process was not so enjoyable.

As an old Red Army who has experienced the ups and downs of Liverpool in the 21st century in his previous life, the Benitez period is the few peak moments they can remember and look back on. Only then did they realize that the differences in their philosophies were almost irreconcilable.

"Mark," Gerald opened the door and asked, "do you really not need us to take you back?"

Ma Keqin stood up and shook his head, said with a smile: "My girlfriend and uncle will pick me up later, don't worry, captain."

Gerrard nodded, and said with concern: "Then take a good rest these few days."

...

"Kicker": Why did Benitez leave behind his failures in the formation of troops, so why not use the killers of strong teams?

"The Times": The Blues celebrate and return to Stamford Bridge with confidence.

"Marca": The other three top players in the Premier League all died at the hands of one person. His name is Mark!

"Daily Sports Daily": How many records can he break?

Not many people care about the victory or defeat of these two teams, because they have been tired of watching it for a few years. It is not surprising who wins and who loses. The public is more curious about the gossip in the locker room than the former.

Various gossips were flying around. Some said that Mark Qin and Benitez had a fierce quarrel in the locker room. Some said that Mark Qin asked for a transfer. He has completely lost his prestige and will be dismissed at the end of the season.

Liverpool, which has always been united, seems to have all the problems suddenly broke out through this fuse, but this is all hearsay, and Melwood is still very quiet.

"Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Goal...al...al..., uh, he's offside, the goal doesn't count"

"Messi, Messi, he got rid of others beautifully, Van der Sar made a contribution, he saved this kick and scored a goal"

Ma Keqin was lying on the sofa, with a pair of smooth white thighs resting on his head, evenly slender, even if he was a model, it was more than enough, but he would not be willing to show it to others.

"Don't score, don't score...", he muttered while watching the ball.

"Pfft", Isabella finally couldn't help it, "Honey, why are you so cute..., haha, I laughed to death"

"Is there? Your husband and I have worked so hard to overtake him. It's not easy to not get out of the line of fire with minor injuries."

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Then she said with concern, "But don't fight like this in the future, it's dangerous, it's a gimmick"

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's the head below." He licked his face and said, once this man and woman break through the line of defense, this dirty joke is simply like a sunset and a lone duck flying together, and the autumn water is as long as the sky, which is indescribable.

"Bah, I'm going to kill you"

Ma Keqin, who successfully transformed tonight as a great prophet, successfully sealed and cursed Melo. Barcelona and Manchester United scored a goalless draw 0:0. Master Ma was very happy and had an extra bowl for dinner.

Two days later, Liverpool and Manchester United, who started the game at the same time and were away at the same time, joined hands and both drew. Manchester United tied Blackburn 1:1 away, and Liverpool tied Birmingham 2:2.

Liverpool really didn't take advantage of Birmingham this season. Last year, it was Mark Qin who came off the bench to beat them 1-0 at home. Now they are directly tied away.

Manchester United looked at the five-point gap in the three rounds, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, they went directly to the bench and gave up most of them, focusing all their energy on the second round of the Champions League.

At this moment in the season, Liverpool is only one step away from the league championship. As long as Liverpool wins in the next round, or even if Manchester United does not win, they will win the championship one round ahead of schedule.

Liverpool's last round is an away game. Of course, they will try their best to win the next round and keep the championship at home. One can imagine what it will be like at Anfield that day.

The 18-year road to laying the foundation will officially start at Liverpool's Anfield on May 4.

...

Benitez raised his head from behind the computer and stared fixedly at the gauze-haired Mark Qin, feeling inexplicable.

It's not that he didn't hear the disturbance from the outside world. He hoped that Mark would be more aware of the general situation and not be influenced by those gossips. What do you mean by what you just said?

"I can go into battle with an injury", I wanted to ask him to ask how the injury is, but in the end I waited for this sentence.

Is this blatantly asking for the main position from him? Or blame yourself for not letting him play the main force, which delayed his competition for the top scorer in the Champions League?

An uncontrollable anger grew in his heart, why is everyone going against me? Gerald yes, Liella yes, and now you're here too?

Would you have won so many championships and honors without me? There is a trace of sadness in the incomprehensible heart. I have worked so hard to watch videos and study tactics day and night. Do you really think you understand everything after playing football for a few years?

Mark Qin did not avoid Benitez's eyes. After this direct conflict, he finally jumped out of the rut of the past and began to look at football with the attitude of an absolute professional player.

I have to fight for the top scorer in the Champions League, and Jonathan also supports him to fight for it. If a professional player can give up his honor at will, is he still a professional? Be a fan.

Benitez nodded angrily, "I will only give you half time, perform well, if there is nothing else, go out."

...

In May in England, the smoke of gunpowder has gradually dissipated, and Master Ma's curse is still in effect.

Manchester United VS Barcelona took the lead in the second round. At Old Trafford, the home team relied on veteran Scholes' goal to beat Barcelona 1-0 and advance to the final with their heads held high.

The next day, at Stamford Bridge, the blue ocean surged.

Here, it is no less than Anfield's Devil's home court. This season, they have remained unbeaten at home in the league and only tied 6 games. You can imagine the power here.

And if Liverpool want to be here, they have to press up and attack from the first minute. This is their only way to survive, but luck is not on their side tonight.

"Goal...al...al, the monster Drogba, although he is over 30 years old, he is still fierce, Chelsea's quick side counterattack, Drogbatai's top pressure, a powerful header, Kalou's beautiful cross Headed into the corner of the goal and Chelsea took the lead in the 33rd minute"

"The second half of the game is about to start. Oh, we saw that Mark was replaced, replacing Benayoun on the left. He still had a bandage on his head. He was his savior at Anfield when he played. This time..."

"Goal...al...al, Drogba again, he was unstoppable today, got Lampard's corner, powerful header, 2:0, Reina didn't react, Chelsea kicked him Made it to the final..."

"There are still five minutes to the end of the game. Liverpool still continue to attack tenaciously under the combing of Alonso and Mark Qin. They have not given up..."

"Mark, Mark, his beautiful reverse back turn, wiped Makelele, scalpel through, beautiful, Gerrard went in, Terry, Terry, penalty, Terry tripped Jay Ladd, Liverpool got a penalty in the last three minutes of the game"

Gerrard walked to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms, and just about to put it down, he seemed to think of something, so he turned around and walked to Mark Qin outside the penalty area, and handed the ball to him, "Mark, you take the penalty!"

"Me?" He looked at Gerrard in surprise, Carragher came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Go, you deserve it"

Benitez saw this scene from the sidelines, his face was dark!

Ronaldo saw this scene in front of the TV, his face was dark!

"Oh? What's going on, Gerrard gave up the penalty to Mark, and he wants to help Mark win this year's Champions League top scorer? Now Mark is only one goal ahead of Ronaldo. Great friendship, great inheritance..."

Ma Keqin held the ball firmly and walked to the penalty spot. It was his first penalty kick in the game, but he was not nervous. If this is the end, let him come in a more beautiful way.

This season they have gone through wind, rain, swamps, and dangerous peaks. This is not the end of loneliness, but a new beginning for the next one.

He set up the ball, stepped back three steps, stared at Cech firmly, and looked directly into his eyes.

You, can't catch...

"Doo", the fireworks by the Mersey River burst into bloom, Cech chose the right side as a gamble, but he regretted it as soon as he kicked out.

The ball was like a rainbow after the rain, it flew up leisurely, across the starry sky, and hung down in the center with a smile of hope and relief.

"Spoon penalty, spoon penalty", like a breeze, the sky is high... the clouds are light.
