The Ball at Your Feet

After the game, for a long time, the teammates who returned to the training base had nothing to say.

This game, I lost so badly.

The game was worse than anyone thought. The score of 4-5 is said to be a match between Liverpool and Chelsea. How many people would believe it? Liverpool did not concede in five rounds, but conceded five in one game. Chelsea lost one in seven rounds, and this game was scored four times by Liverpool.

When two defensive teams no longer defend, but focus on offense, this kind of game has become a worse game than anyone else. They were originally considered to be strong teams at the Champions League level. In this game, the defenses of the two teams were all kicked into sieves.

And obviously, Liverpool is worse.

"It is my responsibility to lose the game, this is my problem..."

Halfway through Carragher's words, Gerald grabbed his neck and interrupted him.

"When everyone makes mistakes, Jimmy." Gerrard shook his head, "You did a very good job, very good."

Reina's mistakes, Carragher's own goals, and Chelsea's good luck became the key reasons for Liverpool's defeat in this game.

But in the final analysis, the biggest reason for Liverpool's defeat is the general pride of Liverpool players. After winning the Champions League, while this team became confident, it also became blind. And after five wins and five league games, without losing a goal, they are even more arrogant. Even if they know that their opponents have set themselves a trap and use words to run themselves against them, Liverpool is still proud. Choosing a counterattack, they even defied the coach's words for this, and even quarreled with the coach.

But the facts have proved that their opponents are beyond imagination, and their strength is not strong enough to crush all powerful enemies.

At this moment, at the press conference after the game, Mourinho will definitely be triumphant. Bajie Literature 8jwx and Liverpool’s defeat, the difference between Chelsea and Chelsea is also 9 points, seeing that the winning streak that was hard to achieve is over. Not to mention, how much a blow to morale is this time losing.

"I'm not talking about own goals... I'm talking about everything I did in the locker room. If I hadn't instigated everyone to not listen to the coach and fight against the opponents, we would not be fooled at all, and we would not lose. I am the deputy captain, taking the lead in disrupting the locker room. I am the worst sinner to lose."

His words were just for his teammates to pat him, no one said anything else. This is indeed Carragher's responsibility, and what he offends is the majesty of Benitez. How to deal with him is Benitez's business. Others have no power and can only pray silently, hoping that Benitez can take Carragher's initiative to stand up and spare him this time.

"Every one of us is wrong. If there is any fault, we can bear it together." Zhao Yaning patted Karag and said.

At this time, Benitez also didn't know what to say.

"You guys played today... not bad." Benitez stood in the crowd and said a word for a long time.

The kick today was actually terrible. Benitez certainly understood this in his heart. But at this time, how could he say that?

He can't really scold him. Now the players are frustrated enough, and if you scold it again, the players will really fall apart. He is the head coach of the team. At this time, he shouldn't hit the team anymore. Of course, a severe harshness may also work, but if you do that, it is equivalent to expelling the current harmonious atmosphere and optimistic spirit in the team. What Benitez wants is not a military academy, what he wants is a football team.

Of course, there is another way, which is to scold the opponent. At this time, scolding the opponent severely can also make the players agree with him from the heart, creating a feeling of resentment of the same enemy. However, Benitez was still reluctant to do so. Although he learned these things from Capello from Italy, from the bottom of my heart, he still likes what Bosque told him. Some things are beyond victory, respect for opponents, and sometimes respect for oneself.

I was really a bit pedantic - at this time, the only way I thought of was to just flip over this page.

"This game is still of great significance to us." Benitez racked his brains thinking that it might be helpful to everyone. "We have thrown away the baggage. Now, we don't have to worry about those who don't lose the ball. The problem is, there is no need to think about the best start of the winning streak. Our psychological pressure is lighter. What we have to do now is to fight for the victory in every game. The league is a long process, and Chelsea does not We may win every game. We are now playing two games less. In other words, in theory, we are only three points behind Chelsea, and we still have a chance."

There is still a chance... this is actually understood in everyone's heart. Benitez didn't really capture everyone's thoughts. What everyone is really sad about is not because the team has no chance to win the championship, but the team is really not as strong as they thought.

They originally thought that the team could defeat all powerful enemies, but now they realized that their strength is simply not enough to break through the opponent’s trap and kill the powerful enemy alive-they are not a dynasty, just a one An ordinary team. Five wins and zero goals in five rounds are indeed great, but they are far from being invincible.

If they lose to a relegation team, they won't be so sad. That kind of game, if you lose, you lose, but they can easily let go. But the loss of this crucial game makes them very uncomfortable.

"Jimmy, you don’t have to blame yourself anymore. I won’t blame you this time. It’s a good thing to have your own ideas. Players who are diligent in thinking can make progress. It’s just that if you have any good ideas next time, let me It’s better to discuss it. You are the deputy captain of the team and you should set an example. And confronting a coach is not something a captain should do.”

For Carragher, Benitez didn't have much to blame: how could he blame it? He is the deputy captain, so he can't sell him. He is the main force, so I can't put him on hold. It is enough to appease a few sentences, this is his only way.

"Head, I did make a mistake. If you need to punish me, send it to the reserve team, or be banned in the team, I will admit it."

When Carragher was speaking, he also looked at Benitez. But as he expected, Benitez just pointed to the bench and let him sit down.

This made Carragher very uncomfortable: after losing, he would rather be scolded by the coach. At least, he hopes the coach will show his dissatisfaction with him and the importance of his performance. However, when the coach considers issues, he still always considers Carragher's main position and captain status. He considers issues, all from the perspective of tactics and the team...

This style is really uncomfortable. This is the football team, not the research institute. Carragher is an Englishman, and what he likes is also the traditional style of England. He likes playing with the players, talking and laughing, drinking together, scolding the street together, and mingling with the players. Even like those old coaches in the past, using him as a small worker, or even hanging up to fight, he will not complain, but this kind of business attitude is really good, but it is always possible to work hard together. What's wrong with friends who work hard together.

He sighed and turned his gaze to Gerrard. He didn't know what to say. As the captain, at this time, Gerrard should come forward and say a few words.

"Cheer up, guys!" Gerrard stood up, slapped, and then didn't know what to say. Although he is the captain, he has always lacked the kind of domineering daring to scold the street in the team's locker room. In the locker room, Carragher has always had the final say. But now, Carragher is depressed, and Gerrard still can't call his teammates to cheer up well.

If it were on the court, Gerrard thought, kicking a few long shots would cheer everyone up. But in the locker room, you have to rely on words to cheer everyone up. These things are the most troublesome.

"Guys, I know why we lost." At this time, Zhao Yaning raised his head and stood up, "Remember what our slogan is? Never go alone! This is the biggest reason why we are strong! One of us So we lose because we forgot this sentence!"

Everyone raised their heads. For everyone, this accusation is more serious than losing.

"Why do we lose? It's not because we didn't work hard enough, but because we forgot one thing when we were playing: Liverpool is strong because we maximized everyone's role. Stephen, Jay Mi, Harvey, Momo, me, Luis, Diego, and the coach."

Benitez didn't speak, and didn't know what to say. Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at him, which surprised him.

"We forgot about the coach. We did not implement his tactics. What we did could not be called unity and cooperation at all. We threw our important part aside ~www.ltnovel.com~ and followed our own ideas. Come to play, we forget what we should do, and we will naturally be punished. This is the reason why we lose."

Of course, there is also the problem of coaching-Zhao Yaning is still not completely relieved at this time. However, it is better to talk about those things later. Now, how to motivate the team is important.

Zhao Yaning's words made everyone a little ashamed, but at the same time they all raised their heads. This is the time to admit a mistake. Since you know you are wrong, you have to raise your head and admit it.

"We lost this game, but as the coach said, we still have a chance. We now recognize ourselves and the mistakes we made. Don't these things matter more than a victory or defeat? In this game, we also saw our opponent clearly. We know how cunning the opponent is. We Chinese have a saying that we know ourselves, know our opponents and win every battle. We know more now, why can’t we play better Guys, we may not be the best team yet, but as long as we are willing to work hard and work together, after a while, who is our opponent?"

Last season, we were still third in the league, robbing the rich and helping the poor, aren't we also second in the league and the most stable contender for the league title? We are getting better step by step. One day, we can become the strongest team in the world!
