Super Storm

Liverpool has a very strange tradition.

The night before each home game, the hotel where the team gathers is the Hope Street Hotel.

But after the game, or the favorite place to go, it is the St. Thomas Hotel.

The two hotels are not far away, and both are about a ten-minute drive to Anfield, but for Liverpool, it looks like two different places of action.

If the players are in a good mood, or have won the game at home, it must be to celebrate at the St. Thomas Hotel.

The owner of the hotel is a big fan of Liverpool. Every game will be chased. Whether it is at home or away, he must arrive.

Of course, the owner of the Hope Street Hotel is also a **** Liverpool. This hotel has been the hotel that Liverpool stayed in before the home game for many years, and it has never changed.

The only difference is that there is a St. Thomas bar in the St. Thomas Hotel, which is the best atmosphere in Liverpool and a favorite place for local fans. Liverpool players often meet here.

Daniel Agger ’s Italian restaurant is also nearby.

Interestingly, the night before the game against Chelsea, the players were staying at the Hope Street Hotel, but they were discussing how to go to the St. Thomas Hotel to celebrate after the game tomorrow.

Because the owner of the St. Thomas Hotel has said that as long as the team wins Chelsea and advances to the finals, he invites all the team to celebrate and all the drinks in his bar will be free.

Of course, the target is limited to Liverpool players and employees.

This is definitely a tempting condition for Gerald, Carragher and others.

Every player sees something different, some see the atmosphere, some want to drink, and others think of beautiful women.

By then, it will definitely be a sleepless night.

...

Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso are not interested in these, so the two took the initiative to find the head coach to apply for the same room.

Benitez agreed.

So, all night, Harvey Alonso was sitting on the bed and reading books. Yang Yang was studying his opponent on the laptop. By the way, he was wearing headphones and Su Ye video. He is now more than Maxwell had. , I want to see Su Ye every day.

Finally, Yang Yang turned off the computer.

"Did you find it strange?" Yang Yang asked suddenly after turning off the light.

"It seems that there is no targeted training." Xavi Alonso said.

In the dark, Yang Yang yelled, "The boss just let us do a shooting training."

It was a training class this afternoon. Benitez asked Aurelio and Aveloya to pass the ball on both sides of the arc outside the penalty area, and then other players started to hit the corner.

Yesterdam took the notepad and took notes there.

Every player shot a few shots in both positions, but the specifics of what happened, the coaching staff did not give a word.

"It's normal, he is always mysterious." Xavi Alonso said.

"But he is reliable every time." Yang Yang replied.

In his mind, what Benitez once told him, he discovered a very hidden hole in Chelsea, which I am afraid even Mourinho himself did not notice, but what exactly is it, he still hides it. Tucked.

Could it be that this shot training is related to this?

"I remember that once he said that when playing with a national team, there are often many players who are familiar with each other. When communicating before the game, it is inevitable that the content of the game will be involved. Guess, there have even been incidents in which opponent players deliberately obtained information. "

The stadium is like a battlefield, and it is understandable to gather information before the game. You can only blame your lack of confidentiality.

"So, since then, he has never announced some tactical details in advance of the game. He will only announce it on the day of the game, sometimes even in the locker room before the game, just before playing, just to avoid leaks."

Harvey Alonso said this, Yang Yang felt a little funny, but he couldn't resist.

He was never a very curious person. If it is related to him, he needs to do it. Benitez will tell him sooner or later. It is not necessary to worry.

"Eh." In the darkness, Xavi Alonso's voice came from the bed next door, "Yang, will we reach the final?"

"Yes!" Yang Yang replied without hesitation. After a pause, he added, "Not only to enter the final, we also have to win the championship!"

"That was really calculated by Gerald!" Harvey Alonso laughed.

Yang Yang also couldn't help but couldn't help but sounded that night, and Harvey Alonso told him the same way.

"He is a fortune teller!"

…………

…………

The next morning, Yang Yang still went to the gym to train for a while.

De Michelle accompanied him all the way, and he is now responsible for the team's training in the gym.

On the day of the game, all schedules are strictly in accordance with the time, including lunch break.

Yang Yang is a special one, because he is used to his training mode, such as going to the gym in the morning and swimming at noon. These are the habits he has accumulated over the past few years, and his body has already adapted.

Even to a certain extent, the gym or swimming is an alternative relaxation for him.

Two hours before the game, the team departed from the Hope Street Hotel on time and took the team's bus.

When the players walked out of the hotel, Liverpool fans were already waiting at the hotel door, seeing the players cheering, or singing the team songs, or shouting the names of the players, cheering for the team, hoping they could beat Chelsea tonight.

But no one will come to the team because they all know that the players before the game need to be calm.

Every night game starts at Liverpool's evening peak.

The police car will drive for Liverpool's bus in front to ensure that the team arrives at Anfield on time as expected.

The players were on the bus, there was no communication, no speech, and there was silence.

When I was in Ajax, Yang Yang would enter the super training ground to train, but not in Liverpool, because it was only ten minutes away.

There will be crowds of Liverpool fans cheering on the roadside where the bus passes.

The seats on the car are also very particular. Some players are more casual, but some are more superstitious. They always choose the same teammates to sit together deliberately. He believes this will bring him luck.

In fact, after sitting with Yang Yang, he played well in every game.

But Yang Yang really wants to tell him sometimes. The reason why he performs well is because he is standing in front of him, not because they sit together before the game, because Yang Yang doesn't like to sit with Aurelio.

The two had a good relationship, but Aurelio liked to talk as soon as he was nervous.

But today, he didn't speak.

This is the first time he touched the threshold of the Champions League final!

Benitez sits in the front row. He usually reads newspapers or plays Sudoku. He is very obsessed with this math game.

Yang Yang was very worried about this, because he was not interested in Sudoku-like calculations at all.

But the Spaniards are obsessed with it, and it fits his image.

Unlike the usual one, when the team bus passed the University of Liverpool, several Chinese international students made a slogan in Chinese, cheering for Yang Yang, and they all wore Liverpool jerseys, apparently planning to go Anfield, which made Yang Yang feel kind of touched in his hometown, and beckoned to them through the car window, thanking him.

...

After arriving at Anfield, prepare, rest, warm up, and return to the dressing room ...

Everything is in order and everyone is used to this kind of home preparation day after day.

Facts also prove that Liverpool's home record this season is really quite good.

When the player returned to the locker room, preparing for the final game, coach Benitez finally unveiled his last killer in this game.

"I have always believed that a good head coach must know how to look forward. Before a most important game, his tactics must be reserved. In fact, I have always done this."

There was only Benitez's voice in the locker room.

Everyone knows that this is the final tactical arrangement before the game, and everyone listened very carefully.

"Even before the first round, I had noticed a hole in Chelsea, but in the first round, I was useless, because I was not sure of a hit at Stamford Bridge, so I deliberately left the second round. "

Benitez was full of confidence when he said this, and this confidence also infected every player in the locker room.

"If you look back carefully, it is not difficult to find that we have never practiced the positioning ball tactics in the past few games, have we?"

After listening, the players thought for a while and nodded in unison. They did not practice.

"If you think about it again, the first round and the last two leagues, did I deliberately ask you to set the ball after the penalty, or the middle of the penalty area?"

The crowd nodded again.

All corner kicks and free kicks from the front court are penalty points, so when against Portsmouth, Hepia scored a header, everyone thought it was Benitez who saw the opponent A loophole, I didn't expect to prepare for this game.

Yang Yang guessed it all at once. This is called Yugai Zhanzhang, because he knew that Mourinho would definitely study Liverpool's recent games, especially the positioning tactics.

Well, to go the opposite way, Mourinho's Chelsea loophole must be a set-point defense, and it is a forward point!

"So, tonight, I want to tell you that Chelsea's position ball defense, the near post is their weakness, they always have a loophole in the near post, but opponents often do not grasp this loophole and use it to score . "

"So tonight, I need someone who will be able to get out of the crowd when the team takes the corner kick or the frontcourt with the other players near the penalty area and rushing inwards. Location, attack the opponent's near post! "

"This can help us break through Chelsea's goal!" Benitez said in a loud voice.
