~.< >-~ Although the overall environment is not good, Benitez¡¯s words give Lin Shaodong room to play. He does not have to worry or even consider the feelings of the team¡¯s ¡°boss¡± and can express his passion. , even listening to Benitez's will, he can also intervene in the command of the defense and the dispatch of the midfield and frontcourt. This is really a great gift of power!
For a newbie who just joined the team this year, this kind of trust is unique!
Similarly, this also shows that Benitez really has no choice!
Su Zhen cooked a meal at home and looked at Lin Shaodong who came back. Although he was smiling, she was familiar with him and knew the forced smile all too well.
"What's wrong?"
"The coach gave me a lot of authority. For the first time, I can command my teammates on the court according to my intentions!"
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Lin Shaodong shrugged his shoulders and expressed disappointment: "Gerrard was injured and his old injury recurred. When we faced our Bundesliga opponents, he was unable to play! And I have to act as two people!"
Su Zhen touched Lin Shaodong lovingly: "Can you bear it?"
"certainly!"
Regarding Su Zhen's suspicion, Lin Shaodong fought back with both hands and used force to make Su Zhen surrender to his lustful power.
Leaning on the sofa, looking at the ice flowers on the withered trees outside the window, Lin Shaodong felt that this was like Liverpool now.
Facing the end of winter.
¡¡
When the world¡¯s eyes were fixed on the powerful dialogue between Bayern and Arsenal, another battle between England and Germany also started at the same time.
It¡¯s just that the battlefield has been moved from Munich¡¯s Olympic Stadium to Liverpool¡¯s Anfield.
In the stands of the kop. The home team was packed with cheering fans, and Leverkusen, who played away from home, also attracted many fans from their hometowns.
However, compared to the fierce collision between Bayern and the "Gunners", Leverkusen has inadvertently become the most promising team among the German teams to enter the top 8.
In terms of historical record, Leverkusen and the Red Army Liverpool met in the Champions League quarter-finals in the 2001-02 season. Leverkusen, which shocked the whole of Europe, was led by head coach Top Muller and a group of Maoists. The head boy, in the away game with a small loss of 0 to 1. After returning home, they defeated their opponents 4-2, broke into the semi-finals, and eventually won the UEFA Champions League runner-up that year. The limelight lasted for a while.
Although the main players Ballack, Ze Roberto, Basturk and Lucio at the time have left Leverkusen, including goalkeeper Bute, defender Placent, midfielder Schneider, La The four main players, including Melo and forward Berbatov, can still support Leverkusen's spine. This central axis allows them to face many giants in the Bundesliga. With ease. It should be said that Leverkusen has a psychological advantage against Liverpool this time. In addition, Leverkusen, which is good at playing at home, also has the potential advantage of playing first before home, which further strengthens their confidence in their smooth advancement.
??And Liverpool, which plays at home, has undergone a major change this year.
Benitez, the new Spanish coach who was appointed this season, has brought a touch of delicacy to the Red Army, which has always had a tough and rough style. Although there was controversy at the beginning of the season due to poor results, Benitez still adheres to his principles. After half a season of running-in, Liverpool has improved both in terms of performance and record. They have made great progress, and their ranking has risen to fourth in the Premier League.
Especially the signings during the winter break are even more worthy of praise!
This is a very good phenomenon, indicating that the team is starting to operate well.
But when another private news was exposed. People are even less hopeful about Liverpool's promotion path.
Gerrard is injured!
As the absolute core of Liverpool, the news of Gerrard's injury seemed to cast a shadow over the entire Anfield. Even if the fans shouted hard at this time, they could not stop their inner uneasiness!
As an indispensable player on both offense and defense, his absence will cause far greater losses than forward Morientes' inability to play. The latter is because he represented Real Madrid in the group stages of this year's Champions League before moving to Liverpool.
With the addition of Alonso and French striker Cisse, Liverpool can only hope that the partnership of Kewell and Baros, who have just returned from injury, can achieve miraculous results.
In the midfield, Hamann, Riise, the Chinese wonder boy Lin, and half of Garcia. Such a configuration really needs to withstand a test.
Let¡¯s take a look at challenger Bayer Leverkusen.
??Compared with Liverpool, which has suffered a lot of bad luck, it is "reborn and making great progress".??It is not an overstatement to describe Leverkusen's performance this season, especially in the second half of the season.
Leverkusen not only performed in the Champions League, such as beating Real Madrid with three goals at home, edging out Serie A giant Roma, and winning first place in the Group of Death, but also performed well in the Bundesliga.
Especially in the recent stage, in addition to losing to their old rival Bayern Munich in an away game, Leverkusen has achieved an excellent record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 8 games.
Compared with Liverpool, this result is even better. If it weren't for their poor performance in the first half, they would have been able to squeeze into the top three.
Especially Berbatov in the team, his recent form is even better.
As for the absent veteran captain Nowotny, in fact, due to age and injuries, he cannot implement the head coach's tactics very well. The young player Carlson Brack who replaced him is better in terms of physical fitness and speed. With the experienced Brazilian Juan, the little guy may be able to take advantage of this game to skyrocket.
As for Leverkusen's midfielder, after the Brazilian Ponte moved to Leverkusen from Wolfsburg, Ponte has established his position as the core organizer in the midfield. So far this season, he has played a key role for Leverkusen. The team contributed 8 assists.
It can be said that he is the engine of Leverkusen. Freezing him is equivalent to freezing half of Leverkusen.
As for the other half, it¡¯s because Leverkusen has many offensive points, not just one. In addition to the forwards, midfielders Fryer and Krzynovik can give their opponents a fatal blow at critical moments.
Standing in the player tunnel, looking at the opponent right next to him, Lin Shaodong can feel the pressure coming towards his face!
Liverpool¡¯s nervousness is in sharp contrast to Leverkusen¡¯s ease.
??For Lin Shaodong, this is a crucial battle and also his first personal battle in Europe.
Maybe what Liverpool needs to defeat is not the powerful Leverkusen, but their cowardice!
It¡¯s like Benitez¡¯s lecture before the game!
"Our opponents are very strong, and due to various reasons, there is a gap between us in terms of absolute strength, but this is our home court, and we need to drive away the 'enemies' with dignity and dignity instead of watching. They are here to show off their power, I have confidence in you, our fans have confidence in you, I don¡¯t want anyone to give up and admit defeat before the game starts, if so, I will be the first to replace him!¡±
Lin Shaodong clearly remembers that Benitez looked at him deeply at that time!
Although Hyypia is the captain on the field, Lin Shaodong knows better that his performance affects the entire team.
Whether the young self can withstand the huge pressure is already at the forefront. Benitez had no choice and finally made this decision.
If he succeeds, Benitez can continue to give himself the core treatment. If he fails, what awaits him may be an endless benching!
After all, Gerrard will be back, Alonso will be back, and off the field, Biscan and Smechel are waiting!
"This is a group of robbers, they want to take advantage of the situation!"
Lin Shaodong meditated silently. The moment he walked into the stadium, the whistling sounds coming from all directions almost deafened his ears!
The Liverpool soldiers who seemed timid before straightened their backs at this excited voice!
This is the Champions League. What you have to face is not only the fans from your country, but also fans from all over the world. The cameras facing you are placed around you exponentially, and every move is magnified infinitely on the TV screen!
¡°Look at Xiaodongzi¡¯s coquettish appearance!¡±
There was unspeakable envy in Fu Bing's tone. This was the first time that he and a few friends saw a Chinese figure in the Champions League, and this figure was still so familiar!
A football legend once said that it will be fifty years before the Chinese win the Champions League. Today, technology is getting closer and closer, but in football, China has gone further and further away, and has continued to decline. Even FIFA came out and lamented that "Chinese football has no credit, only hard work!"
This is not a mockery. For a big country with a population of more than one billion, FIFA is so eager to develop and expand it! But the result is that the status is getting worse and worse!
Looking at the two countries in East Asia, let alone Japan, it is now the undisputed hegemon in Asia, and South Korea has developed the characteristics of being able to run and fight!
The early technical flow of Chinese football has disappeared, and physical fitness has become a big problem!
Maybe everything can¡¯t be comforted. Lin Shaodong¡¯s appearance is like a scene in the morning curtain.That little bit of light shines in the night sky!
Looking at Lin Shaodong on TV, standing upright with his hands behind his back, Yao Xinyuan even felt tears filling his eyes!
Fu Bing¡¯s envious voice almost made the men gathered together unable to contain their excitement! As one of them, he, as a defender, knows how difficult it is to be able to stand on such a big stage!
He also knew very well what it was like when Lin Shaodong joined the team. That kind of mentality even forced Xie Muran to find a female classmate in private to stimulate him. You can imagine how fragile he is!
But what happens after that?
Although the starting point is a bit lower, not as good as those who came out of football schools since childhood, their foundation is solid and they will be popular wherever they go! It was the same in school, and it's the same in France. Now in England, it's even more prosperous. I heard that it is very likely to win the best player in February! (To be continued)rq
