There is a dream called football

I thought that the Double Reds would defeat Manchester United and Liverpool would have a very good life, but I didn't expect that blows would follow one after another.

First of all, they lost to Norwich in the league. Facing the opponent's iron-barrel formation, Liverpool could not find a way out. Instead, the opponent used a set piece to steal a goal.

After losing to Norwich 0-1, the Champions League match against Olympiacos was immediately followed. They thought they were the weakest opponent in the group, but Liverpool, who were traveling to Greece, were caught off guard and lost the game 0-1.

Two unexpected defeats made Benitez very angry. These two goals were the kind of games that should have been won but were not.

In other words, they took the initiative throughout the game, but couldn't score a goal.

Returning to Liverpool, the team also fell into a low ebb. Everyone was in a bad mood, especially in the Champions League. Losing to Olympiacos was not a trivial matter. If something went wrong, the right to qualify would be affected.

What's even more terrible is that right after, the team has to face Chelsea in the league.

Chelsea at this time can be described as majestic in the Premier League. They have money, achievements, and madman Mourinho. It can be said that they are the most popular in the Premier League. Under such circumstances, if Liverpool wants to meet Chelsea, it might be wrong.

That's three consecutive losses.

Sure enough, Mourinho made a shocking statement before the game. He said that Liverpool is not Chelsea's opponent at all, because Chelsea's opponents are Manchester United and Arsenal, and Liverpool is only a second-tier team in the Premier League.

Benitez didn't find anything strange about this. If the loud-mouthed Mourinho didn't say something, then he would find it strange.

When the entire Liverpool team came to Chelsea, they checked into the hotel directly and did not accept interviews. The atmosphere in the team did not appear to be very lively.

The cruelty of the Premier League was clearly revealed at this time.

Looking at other leagues, the team's status will not fluctuate so much. For example, in Serie A, the top four teams will not suddenly lose to the middle and lower teams. But this is not the case in the Premier League. Even the bottom teams have amazing potential.

of energy.

This is because of the power of capital. Premier League teams are basically purchased privately, so even for mid- and lower-tier teams, the big bosses behind them are very wealthy. It just depends on whether they are willing to spend money.

Benitez faced the hotel window. It was raining lightly outside. It was already very cold in London in early October.

In the warm hotel, Benitez still felt the slightest chill. He was really afraid of losing three games in a row.

At this time the assistant came in.

"Boss, this is tomorrow's weather forecast."

Benitez looked at it and said, "Raining?"

"right."

With such cold weather and rain, it would be difficult to play the ball, and even the formation would have to be replaced. For example, should Alonso not start?

In modern football, weather is also a very important factor. This is not the era of Pele. At that time, a player played in one place for his whole life. It didn't matter whether he adapted or not. But now a team has a large number of players from different countries.

, many people have just arrived in the UK, and acclimatization is a factor.

Ah sneeze.

Benitez sneezed and rubbed his nose, "It's really cold. Remind the children to warm up fully during training."

During training, Benitez and Alonso communicated. Spain said that they had no problem with the weather. Benitez was relieved, so he sent Alonso. When the league reached the 8th round, Benitez was relieved.

Niites is inseparable from Alonso and Li Qiao.

But the forward line is what Benitez must adjust, because not scoring goals is still related to the forward line.

He was going to let Baros come off the bench, but he had to appease the Czech first.

"Milan, I am going to use you as a substitute for this game."

Baros suddenly felt a little stunned. Could it be that after losing two games, the boss used him as a scapegoat?

"Head, is it because I haven't scored in two games? You can look at the statistics. I have very few shooting opportunities."

What Baros meant was that the midfielder did not create any opportunities and there was nothing I could do about it. What he said was actually true.

Benitez put his hand on Baros's shoulder, "Milan, don't get excited. The team's failure to score is everyone's responsibility, and it is also my responsibility. I asked you to substitute because I want to change the formation and become 4231."

"

"Chelsea is very strong, I want to add two defensive midfielders."

As soon as these words came out, Baros felt a little relieved. At least the coach was not dissatisfied with him.

But then I thought, if this is the case, then why is the single arrow not myself? I am no worse than Cisse.

But it is definitely impossible to say such things, otherwise it will be a slap in the face, and Benitez can also see it.

"You are very important. If we can't open up the situation, it's up to you."

"Um."

In fact, when playing in the Premier League, physical confrontation is still the most important, which is why Baros was never as good at Liverpool as he was in the national team.

*****

At the press conference, the reporters sat quietly, as if something big was about to happen.

Because Mourinho is coming and as soon as Madman comes to the Premier League, the British media people find themselves falling in love with Madman more and more. He is really awesome.

I used to worry about articles every weekend, but now I don't need to, Mourinho will definitely give you the news.

Someone immediately asked: "It is said that you look down on Liverpool, but they have won four Champions League championships and 18 top league championships."

Mourinho shrugged, "The budget of a team in those days was only a few million pounds. I spent 100 million on players this summer. Times have changed. Football is not what it used to be. Don't use the past as an excuse."

.”

"Would you buy someone from Liverpool?"

Mourinho shook his head, "My plastic surgery is very powerful, I don't need to buy anyone."

"If Benitez comes to you to buy someone, will you sell?"

Mourinho shrugged, "Why not? I won't struggle with money, as long as they have enough money."

"Like buying Makelele?"

For boring questions, Mourinho simply passed the question and said he would skip it and go to the next one.

"Chelsea's opponent in the Champions League group stage is Porto. How will you feel when you return to Porto?"

"I don't have any feelings. I am now the coach of Chelsea. I only have feelings for Chelsea. Just like if you get divorced and get married again, is it possible that you will still have feelings for your ex-wife?"

"Hahaha."

The scene was filled with joy.

A reporter asked Mourinho about Benitez's personal thoughts. Mourinho became cautious about this. At this time, Mourinho was not as arrogant as he was later. Later, Mourinho directly called Wenger a snake-licker. That was

No face at all.

But at this time, Mourinho was not yet ready to call Benitez a liar, so he smiled and said: "I think the game will judge everything, and you will know it yourself after the game."
