Previously, during Hollier ’s coaching, the atmosphere in Liverpool was unity and closeness.
Yang Yang once heard people say that Hollier is the kind of coach who can mix with the players.
But this situation was completely changed after Benitez arrived.
In the words of Captain Gerrard, Benitez belongs to that kind. When he hits face-to-face in the narrow corridor, he will not politely ask you how recently, your family is happy or something.
"If he speaks, it must be telling you where you did poorly in the last game and how to play the next game."
"I feel like he has only football in his life!"
Gradually, the sense of distance brought by the head coach also changed Liverpool.
It is obvious that Liverpool's away games often change roommates.
When the coaching staff explained this rule, they told Yang Yang that this was to help players familiarize themselves with each other.
But Yang Yang has also heard a statement in private, it is said that this was Benitez first came to power, in order to disintegrate the small team in the dressing room, because at the time A group of players headed close.
No one knows the exact reason, but the rules continue slowly.
After returning to the UK from PSV, the team immediately went south to London.
Liverpool's away game against Chelsea was another noon at 13:30.
This is a very depressed time because it is not easy to prepare.
In order to better prepare for this game, Liverpool went south one day in advance and stayed in a hotel in London.
Yang Yang's roommate had the turn of Xavi Alonso.
...
Whether on or off the court, Xavi Alonso is a gentleman.
He likes to read books, and he reads some books that make Yang Yang very headache, such as philosophy ...
But he saw it with relish, and had the potential to be a philosopher.
Yang Yang likes to study opponents before the game. This habit has continued from the Ajax period to the present. Benitez's coaching staff also respects his habits very much and allows him to bring his own laptop.
Before each game, Yesterdam will prepare a complete opponent profile for him like Luther Carol in the past, and from these profiles, Yang Yang can feel the detail of Liverpool's preparation.
The first time I saw it was in the first round of the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Israel ’s Maccabi Haifa.
This team is unknown and far away in Israel, it is very difficult to find their information.
But Benitez's team has prepared a thick stack of files for this, as well as multiple DVD files.
The dossier has thirty or forty pages, which contains the details of each player in Maccabi Haifa, their strengths and weaknesses, how they attack, how to defend, how fast to counterattack, what they will often do in the game The tactical changes ...
So much information shows the degree of intentions of Benitez and Te team.
And this is just an Israeli underdog.
Like the Chelsea to be met tomorrow, the file is up to more than 60 pages, and there are more than a dozen DVD materials.
However, the coaching staff will not directly push all of this to the players, it will only make the players dizzy.
To be honest, few of the players really like to read, all are a bunch of scum, including Gerrard.
Therefore, the coaching staff will summarize the dossiers and information, select the information that they think is useful and must be reminded, and finally convey it to the players at the pre-match preparation meeting in about 20 minutes. Opponent reports.
Yang Yang is used to preparing the night before the game, so he will get more and better materials.
Harvey Alonso sat silently on the bedside reading a book, Yang Yang was reading the pre-match materials in front of the computer, and at the same time using qq to chat with Su Ye who is far away in China. She has been in a good mood recently.
Both auditions passed, and the other party seemed very satisfied.
"Our mentor said that these two dramas are rare major productions. Being able to participate in the roles in them is also good for my future development. And the other party is very sincere and promises to follow my three chapters of the contract. However, before signing the contract, Everything is hard to say. "
Yang Yang said with a chuckle that there must be no problems, and then he must take the time to visit the class.
But he also knows that the competition in the domestic entertainment industry is still very fierce. For example, some artists will take the initiative to invest in the crew in order to grab the role, so it is really difficult to say before signing the contract.
"Relax, I should be a learning opportunity." Su Ye was free and easy.
She has been rehearsing with a drama group of the Chinese opera recently, and the time is also very well arranged.
...
Yesterdam came to patrol the room and knocked on the door to remind the players to take a rest.
Yang Yang closed the computer, brushed his teeth and washed his face, lying on the bed, he would enter the super training ground.
His amazing sleep ability quickly caused shock in Liverpool. Almost everyone who had been a roommate with him would envy and resent the painful memories of being a roommate with Yang Yang the next morning.
But when he was about to fall asleep, Harvey Alonso, who hadn't spoken in the next bed for a night, suddenly burst out.
"A few days ago, Gerrard said that he had a hunch that we will reach the Champions League final this season. He said that this is the call of destiny to us and the test of us."
In the darkness, the voice of Xavi Alonso came.
Yang Yang was a little surprised, but smiled and replied: "He should switch to fortune telling."
Harvey Alonso also smiled softly, "But I hope his hunch is true."
Yang Yang is silent, this is also everyone's hope.
After all, it's the Champions League, the highest honor all professional players dream of.
Even if he has won it once, Yang Yang still hopes to have a chance to get it for the second time, and he will take it once as the absolute main force to make up for his regret of stopping at the semi-finals last season.
"Winning the Champions League two times in three years is definitely an exciting and great feat. It has opened up a new dynasty and will also leave us a deep stroke in the history of professional football." Harvey Alonso's tone There is longing in it.
Last season, Liverpool's performance in the Champions League was not outstanding, but with the addition of Yang Yang this season, the team's offensive problems have been eased, and everyone has begun to rekindle hope and fighting spirit.
Even a cultural youth like Harvey Alonso is full of blood and passion in his bones.
The two stopped talking, and the room was silent.
Yang Yang opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling. His eyes seemed to shine in the dark.
He also expects the same, even, his desire for the Champions League is definitely not less than anyone.
He has also been working hard to train and play hard for this.
He longed for the day when he could stand at the top of the Champions League as the main core and attend the major awards as a winner. He longed for fans all over the world to remember his name firmly, and he was in Performance on the field.
But soon, he closed his eyes and entered the super training ground.
Utopian is useless, he needs to do it.
…………

"No one on Chelsea's sidewalk!"
On the morning of the game, Liverpool held a pre-match tactical preparation meeting in the hotel, and Benitez went straight to the topic.
After Duff switched to Newcastle, Robben was injured before the start of the new season. He has missed four games so far, which makes Chelsea's wing basically lose its competitiveness.
"I can conclude that in this game Chelsea will concentrate on the center, Shevchenko will meet, Drogba is also indispensable, so they will arrange a double forward combination, the center will hoard heavy soldiers, but there is no effective side. , So they will definitely be worse in efficiency, this is our opportunity! "
Benitez will win Kuyt in this game, because the Dutch have played the entire match against Eindhoven and need to rotate, but Peter Crouch and Yang Yang will do their best. Let Pennant.
"Gerard, Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko, we have no loss in the midfield, but when attacking, we should try to widen the width and make full use of our wing advantage."
Harvey Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko are two back midfielders. Gerrard is a free man in the frontcourt.
Needless to say, Yang Yang's offensive power on the wing, whether it is a cross from the bottom, or an inward score, he is a sharp knife, and is currently the sharpest offensive ace in Liverpool. The most important defensive object.
It is not without reason to choose Pennant on the right, because Pennant was the passer of the Premier League last season.
Benitez's request to Pennant was to create a killing pass on the right and pass to create opportunities.
At the same time, Benitez's requirements for the two full-backs are also more clear, that is to actively participate in the offensive.
His choice is Finnan on the right and Aurelio on the left, both offensive and defensive players.
For Chelsea ’s use of troops, Benitez also made a guess. Terry, Carvalho and Ashley Cole did not have suspense, and the right-back with Yang Yang, he thought it would be Dutch Boraluz .
"He is obviously more familiar to you than Ferreira because he has played with you in the Dutch League a few times, and he is in very good form this season, hailed by Mourinho as Mr. Zero turnover, and I hope you do The only thing is to cut a breakthrough in the Chelsea line from him! "
Yang Yang did not have much impression of Bollaruz before, but the materials given by the coaching staff are very perfect, so Yang Yang is no stranger to reading him now, and he knows the strength of the Dutch international who has played for Varvik and Hamburg. Not bad.
But he still nodded confidently and took over this task.
"Relax, after tonight, he is no longer Mr. Zero Error, but should become Mr. Error!"
Yang Yang smiled faintly.
The more such a big game, the more excited he feels.
And he is eager to perform better at Stamford Bridge, not just for Liverpool, but also to prove himself.
Before, Abramovich was not interested in Yang Yang for Shevchenko, but now, Yang Yang wants to let him know how wrong this choice was at the time, and a stupid decision.
