Hero of the Penalty Area

In the 36th round of the league, Liverpool played Chelsea at home. This was Liverpool's last home game of the season, and it was also Dalglish's farewell game at Anfield.

This game is very important to the Liverpool team. The players have reached an agreement in private to bid farewell to the coach with victory. Although Liverpool's performance was not very good when Dalglish was the head coach, after all, he is a legend of Liverpool and his position in the eyes of the players is still very lofty. In their view, Dalglish's poor coaching performance is not necessarily a problem of his level, but there are many objective factors. For example, Liverpool’s injuries this season are too many, especially serious injuries, Jie Rade basically didn't play much this season, and it is understandable that Liverpool's combat effectiveness has declined after losing the captain.

There are also reasons why the senior management does not support Dalglish's work. Dalglish wanted to buy Downing, but Niang refused to buy it, and finally brought an Adam Johnson to Dalglish. Although Adam Johnson has also proved his strength, it is always right that Niang does not cooperate with Dalglish. A head coach who doesn't cooperate with the top management, what level do you expect him to play?

Players are always biased towards the head coach, and feel that the top management is born to do the right thing with the team. This kind of simple thinking is easy to understand. After all, the head coach is the person who is with them all day, and it is the easiest to instill such ideas into them. Not to mention that Dalglish is quite interesting in his treatment of players. Losing the ball always puts the responsibility on himself. Such a head coach leaves the pressure on himself, but allows the players to have a very relaxed environment.

Therefore, in order to thank Dalglish, all Liverpool players decided to give him a home victory.

However, this game is not easy to play, because Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur now have the same points, and the two sides are competing for the Champions League qualification next season. Spurs are currently ranked fourth and Chelsea are fifth.

If you want to squeeze out Tottenham and qualify for the Champions League next season, Chelsea will have to beat Liverpool in this game while waiting for Tottenham to lose. If they lose to Liverpool and Tottenham beat Aston Villa away, Chelsea will have nothing to do-unless they beat Blackburn by more than five goals in the final round of the league... This situation is not easy to happen. Up.

Dalglish also wanted to use a victory to bid farewell to his Anfield years and his Liverpool years, so this game he sent the strongest lineup he could send.

Chelsea's game is not easy to play.

This is Liverpool's last home game of the season. Many Liverpool fans have come to watch the game with their families and at the same time see off the "king" of the club.

Liverpool fans are contradictory. They all like Dalglish and look forward to the legend of the club leading the club back to the top and creating a new legend. But the reality is cruel, and legends may not be able to write legends again.

Dalglish once saved Liverpool once, but he could not save Liverpool a second time.

The key to the future of this team is not in Dalglish's hands.

So for Liverpool's poor performance this season, it must be accounted for by Dalglish. Can't they directly scold the legend of the club-Dalglish's prestige in the eyes of the fans is too high...

Hope is shattered, but they are reluctant to scold. Liverpool fans have been tortured for a season, and now they can only bid farewell to the legend with a normal heart.

In any case, the legend is better than Hodgson, he at least brought a League Cup to the team, giving the team a chance to participate in the European war next season.

As long as they can continue to participate in the Champions League, the glory of Liverpool's giants will one day appear again.

The only question is who is Dalglish's successor?

There are many speculations in the media about this matter, but no matter which one it is, it has not been confirmed by the club. The club seems to be very low-key and did not reveal any news.

This has made the English media scoff at it-is it possible that you still have to dig Mourinho? It's so mysterious, for fear that the news will leak.

Nor is there no media speculation that Liverpool will incur Mourinho under his command. Especially the relationship between Mourinho and Real Madrid suddenly became unstable some time ago. There are many media rumors that Mourinho will not renew his contract with Real Madrid after the contract expires this summer, and it is also reported that he ran back. Going to buy a house in London, a series of actions show that his future seems to be in England.

At that time, Liverpool, who fired Dalglish, were also reported to have an affair with Mourinho.

But it was quickly denied by both Mourinho and the Liverpool club.

It didn't take long for Mourinho to renew his contract with Real Madrid. News of Mourinho's future is still in Real Madrid, and all the rumors about him going to coach in other teams disappeared.

Liverpool fans are very anxious. Seeing that the season is about to end, the new head coach has not yet been finalized. How does the team's preparations for the new season start? Do you have to wait until half of the summer transfer period to announce the head coach, and then rush to find players and form a team... Isn't this cheating?

In the transfer market at this time, good players have been robbed long ago, and what is left is leftovers that everyone does not want. If others do not want it, why do we want Liverpool? It's not picking up tatters...

In this way, the team's preparations must be affected. Is the new head coach familiar with the team in the first year? It will take another whole season to adapt to the new environment and let the team adapt to him. Isn't this going to waste another season? Then when will Liverpool's revival be visible?

If one season later proves that the new head coach is not good enough, then kick him off and replace him with someone... When does this repetition mean a head?

Just like Hodgson... After Benitez left, the two Liverpool coaches didn't work for long. Frequent changes of coaches also make the team's tactics vague and changeable, making the players at a loss as to what to do. That's why Liverpool's tactics this season seemed so chaotic. Even the players themselves can't tell what their tactics are.

Dalglish hasn't finished the job of stabilizing Liverpool, so who can? In their spare time, Liverpool fans like to guess who will be the new head coach of Liverpool. In today's English football, and even European football, there are not many head coaches who are at home and have the ability to join Liverpool. As for those head coaches who are in office but whose positions are unstable and may dismiss at any time, there are actually not many. This candidate is really hard to guess.

It seems funny to do this-the current head coach is still sitting on the coach bench, and the fans are starting to guess who is their next head coach.

It’s not that they don’t respect Dalglish enough. If they don’t respect him, the team’s performance is so bad, the scene would have been booed long ago, and it is even more unlikely that they will come to Dalglish in the last home game. See off.

However, after this season of games, many fans have to admit that Dalglish's coaching level is really limited, and many of his ideas are out of date. So Liverpool has no future under him, they will only waste more time like this season.

I have to say that Niang's decision is very good, he did not immediately fire Dalglish, but gave him plenty of time. It seemed like a decent farewell to Dalglish. In fact, this is a gamble. Niang is betting on his knowledge of Dalglish. He thinks that even if Dalglish is given a full season, the old Scottish man cannot lead Liverpool to complete the revival because he It is far behind this era.

So he spent a whole season, let Dalglish play to his fullest, so that fans and public opinion fully realized that Dalglish's level is limited to this.

We must know that when the club officially announced the end of Ticze’s contract with Dalglish, how many fans and local public opinion opposed and protested. They all thought that the club’s top management smashed their grievances and killed the donkey, and the legend of driving away a club is simply huge. Shame. During that time, both he and Chen Xing were under tremendous pressure.

But looking at it now, there are almost no criticisms of them, and everyone is discussing with great interest who is Dalglish's successor. Because everyone can see, Dalglish is really not suitable to continue to lead this team...

Liverpool's opponent Chelsea have also experienced a coaching change this season. Before the season, the young coach Boas, who came to Chelsea from Porto with the title of “Mourinho No. 2”, finally broke down at Stamford Bridge. His failure proved from the side that Mourinho is really the best. The special one, no one can become his second life.

The current Chelsea is performing strongly under the leadership of the acting head coach and the original assistant coach Di Matteo. Not only did it reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but it also chased Tottenham in the league, and it has a lot to do with Tottenham. Turn off the horse posture.

It's a change of coach like a knife.

If Liverpool had decisively dismissed Dalglish, would it be better to change individuals?

Of course, no one knows the answer to this question.

Before the game, the two head coaches shook hands on the sidelines. The head coaches of the two teams for next season have not been finalized, but the fate of the two is very different. If Di Matteo performs well, he might be able to be righted and become an official head coach next season. Although such hopes are slim, there is always a rush. Dalglish will definitely dismiss get out of class, regardless of the team's performance.

After the two coaches in completely different situations shook hands with each other, they separated. Then sit on the coach's bench and wait for the game to start.

Although the discussion about Dalglish's successor is a bit unsympathetic now, the Liverpool fans are really serious about saying goodbye to Dalglish.

Various flags and slogans were flying on all the stands at Anfield Stadium, filled with words to bid farewell to Dalglish.

When Dalglish came out, there was a huge cheer on the scene.

They called Dalglish's name.

"Kenny! Thank you!"

The fans really want to thank Dalglish, although Dalglish has not brought any substantial changes to the team. But last season the team faced the difficult situation of changing hands and coaching. It was he who came forward and took over the coach again, helping the team to relegation successfully, and won the League Cup this season.

In general, Dalglish is worthy of Liverpool, and worthy of the fans' love for him.

Dalglish sat on the coach's bench, looking at the flags and slogans on the opposite stand, with some emotion.

However, on the surface, he still looked calm and steady.

His mission is not over yet, and now is not the time to reveal his true feelings.

His Liverpool has the last two wars.

He has completed the task of the team, and he also has a private task, which is to send Chen Yingxiong to the top scorer's throne.

He wants to make Liverpool a top scorer and use this honor and affection to influence him in Chen Yingxiong's heart. Perhaps all his efforts this season in the future will reflect their value.

For Liverpool, he was really exhausted.

He moved his gaze away from the slogans saying goodbye and thanking himself, and moved to Chen Yingxiong.

In order for this man to stay in Liverpool for a few more years, he has done everything he can.

He doesn't know whether what he has done will make Liverpool's future glory, or will eventually become a joke.

But there are some things that someone must do.

If no one else does it, then I will do it. Anyway, I am an old man who is about to retire, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Being laughed at? Have I received less ridicule this season?

As long as it is for the good of Liverpool, what is the amount of such a ridicule?

Maybe I did something wrong at the beginning of the season, but fortunately, I still have a chance to recover all of this...
