There is a dream called football

For the team, there is finally good news, that is, Kewell is back. Now the team only has Cisse with a long-term injury, and everyone else can play. This is for Benitez who is short of major generals.

It's so important.

"Harry, your return is so important, but I won't arrange for you to compete for the time being."

"OK."

Kewell also feels that he is not suitable for the game for the time being because his muscles are indeed a bit fragile.

At this time, the assistant approached Benitez and asked about the arrangements for the league and cup matches. Not only did the Premier League not have a winter break, but there were also two domestic cup matches, which was even more troublesome.

Benitez is certainly ready to give up on the cup competition.

"For domestic cup matches, I will only arrange for substitute players to play."

"What about the media?"

"They can say whatever they want, or they can give me 50 million to buy someone else, or else just shut up."

Assistant Khan, he found that Benitez has a very hot temper recently.

This is normal. Anyone will change under pressure, especially when they encounter the unreasonable British media.

After Benitez calmed down, he patted his assistant and said, "Okay, let's do it."

The reporter nodded, but knew that a war of words was inevitable.

Sure enough, after losing the League Cup 0-1, Liverpool ended the League Cup this season and now only needs to play in the league and the Champions League.

However, the team was still criticized verbally and in writing because of this. It was felt that Benitez was deliberately playing the ball. Just like the subsequent shuffle, it was legal but unethical.

In European football, sometimes morality is also a very important consideration. After all, rules cannot control everything. Shuffling is the best example.

But Benitez had no time to care about this, because he lost again in the league, this time to Southampton. After switching the home and away games, Southampton changed, and so did Liverpool.

.

The cruelty of the Christmas schedule was clearly demonstrated, with teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea having two lineups having the last laugh.

Of course Benitez also wants to buy someone, but the boss has made it clear that he will wait until the summer to make the move.

Benitez thought of a problem, that is, he might only be able to keep one of the league and the Champions League, or he would lose both.

Of course, Benitez will definitely choose the Champions League, but this must be discussed with the players, otherwise there will be huge conflicts in the locker room.

So Benitez held a meeting the next day, and the content of the meeting was to discuss the goals for this season with the players.

Unexpectedly, the differences among the players were particularly large. The first was Gerrard. As the soul of the Red Army, he knew what the fans wanted just like the fans at Anfield, so he did not agree to give up the league.

"Head, we are Liverpool and we need the Premier League because we are the most successful team in the Premier League."

It has to be said that Liverpool was indeed the most successful team in the British Professional League.

The Beatles and the Liverpool football team were once the city's greatest pride. At that time, Manchester United was nothing.

But what now?

Manchester United has won many league titles, but Liverpool has never won the Premier League title.

It's okay not to win the championship, but Gerrard can't imagine Liverpool falling out of the top 10 in the league, just like Real Madrid fans can imagine the team falling out of the top 10 in the league?

"Head, I want to ask you, if one day Real Madrid wins the Champions League but ranks 10th in the league, what will Madrid fans think?"

Bennett paused. He didn't expect Gerrard to ask such a question. He chuckled and said, "Then I'm afraid the days of coaching are coming to an end."

"hehe."

Many people are happy. The risk of giving up the league is indeed huge and will anger the fans. This is something a wealthy team cannot afford.

Benitez spread his hands and started to talk about the difficulties after laughing.

"Chelsea has about 20 people who can play in the league, and they are all at a very high level. Manchester United is almost the same, but we only have 15. That means they have two lineups, but we only have one."

"That's the gap."

Gerrard fully admits this. Liverpool at this time is no longer the Liverpool of the past, both in terms of strength and reputation.

If a player is invited by both Manchester United and Liverpool, then he will definitely accept Manchester United.

"Children, I would also like to do both, but it seems impossible for the time being."

Gerald was silent because this was absolutely right.

"So the reality is that either we give up one front or we lose them all."

At this moment, Garcia raised his hand and said: "Then I choose the Champions League."

"I start with the league," Riise said: "The league is the foundation."

Hyypia also said he would choose a league.

Benitez saw that there was no need to vote at all. More people chose the league, while only a few people such as Li Qiao and Garcia chose the Champions League.

"It seems we have decided that we are going to compete in the league."

At this moment, Gerrard raised his hands and said: "No, rationally speaking, it doesn't make any sense for us to compete in the league."

Gerrard has regained his rationality. The gap between him and Chelsea in the league is already huge. Under this situation, there seems to be no point in fighting for the league.

"Emotionally speaking, as a Liverpool man, I don't want to give up on the league, but rationally speaking, even if Chelsea does nothing, we can no longer catch up, and in the Champions League, we still have a chance."

Benitez Yile, this is the truth, but the truth is easy to understand, but sometimes emotional things...

Benitez is still very happy, because Gerrard is the soul of the team, and as long as he speaks, then this matter will be no problem.

Sure enough, Gerald said so, so what else did the others have to say? Everyone turned around.

"Okay, I support Stephen."

"Me too, supporting Stephen."

Everyone began to support Gerrard, so much so that he himself laughed and said, "You don't have to be like this."

"Ha ha ha ha."

In the end, everyone agreed that the Champions League takes priority over the league, and appropriate tilts can be made on match days when the Champions League is encountered.

Li Qiao is of course happy to see this ending. After all, if there is no major deviation in history, then Liverpool may not have a chance in the league this season, and their chance is in the Champions League.

Of course, it’s hard to say for sure. After all, Li Qiao’s time travel will cause a big butterfly effect, and maybe history will shift.

After stabilizing the morale of the army, of course what Benitez has to do is to prepare for the Champions League match against Leverkusen. If the Champions League is eliminated, then everything he just said will be nothing more than nonsense.

So for the Leverkusen game, Benitez felt like it was the final.
