Chapter 1202 Is the Time Ripe?

Gotze began to gradually integrate into the team, and Martin O'Neill was relieved.

In the second round of the league, Liverpool will return to their home court to face Stoke City at Anfield.

This is a game that has no suspense for Liverpool.

The only suspense may be whether Gotze can get a chance to play in the game.In the last round of the league, Gotze didn't get 1 minute of game time.

That's why the media speculated after the game.

Martin O'Neill does not intend to let Gotze play. He intends to continue to let Gotze sit on the bench.

In order to prevent Gotze from having any thoughts, he also went to talk to Gotze specifically, told him his plan, told him not to have too many selfish distractions, and trained with peace of mind, when he was ready, and on the training ground After showing it, I will naturally see it, and then I will let him play in the game.

This is where Martin O'Neill differs from most other head coaches.

He is a person who is good at communicating with players, and he doesn't have the airs of a famous coach, which may be related to the fact that he has never really become a famous coach.Anyway, he didn't want some head coaches to put too much airs--Lao Tzu's words are imperial decrees, you have to listen to them, and you have to listen to them if you don't!
Besides, after working with Chen Yingxiong for two seasons, even if he had any temper, his temper was worn out.So now, no matter who the opponent is, he can put down his figure, talk and explain to the players patiently, and dispel their doubts.

In fact, this kind of communication method is the correct way to make the team harmonious.

But it's easy to say, how many people can do it?Humans always have a temper. If you are rude to me, why should I be polite to you?If you flirt with me, I will definitely show you the methods of the head coach... After such a back and forth, the relationship will naturally be destroyed.

Martin O'Neill's reputation is not too great, and he is far from being a famous coach in the world.

But because of this, he is low-key and humble enough. Such a talent is the most suitable head coach for Liverpool.

I have to say that Niang's vision is very accurate, and he picks people well.

※ ※ ※

Martin O'Neill believes that as long as there is communication, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Sure enough, when he explained his thoughts to Gotze, Gotze also expressed his understanding.He also does feel that he is not yet familiar with English football. Maybe watching it on the bench and observing more will allow him to deepen his understanding of this country's football.

Gotze is not worried that he will be completely reduced to a substitute because of this. As long as he is allowed to play, when he is ready, he firmly believes that he will seize the opportunity. At that time, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a substitute again!

Martin O'Neill is very satisfied with Gotze's performance.

Before the game against Stoke City, he first announced the starting lineup in the team. Gotze continued to be on the substitute list. Surprised them with no starters.

This situation has never happened before. Most Liverpool players didn't care whether Gotze started in the past.Because many people don't think Gotze is one of them.

It's different now. With the help of Chen Yingxiong, Gotze's own initiative, and the incident of the reporters, more and more Liverpool players regard him as one of their own.

Naturally, more people began to care about Gotzel.

Hearing that he didn't start, some people expressed concern and surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, Gotze's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be hit at all because he couldn't start the game.

Everyone saw that Gotze himself had no opinion, and they themselves had no opinion.

On the day of the game, after the starting list was announced, the media still paid attention to the fact that Gotze continued to substitute.

Although Chen Yingxiong was not inferior to them and continued to harass Gotze, normal comments were still okay.

Gotze is still on the bench, which seems to have strengthened the doubts in the hearts of the reporters.

Although Chen Yingxiong didn't let them talk, it couldn't stop them from thinking.

What people think, Chen Yingxiong can't control, he can't get into other people's brains and turn their brains into tofu brains, right?
They heard that Gotze's performance in training has improved, so now it is not Gotze's problem, but Martin O'Neill's problem...Why does Martin O'Neill insist on not using Gotze?Is it because he has any prejudice against Gotze?This is really worth exploring...

※ ※ ※

Gotze didn't play, so the media's minds are still on Gotze. This is because there is no suspense in this game itself, and there is nothing to say. It is nothing more than Liverpool winning again, and Chen Yingxiong is killing...

Everyone complained about these things last season, and there is nothing new about them.

That's why they pay so much attention to Gotze, because Gotze is something that has never appeared in this Liverpool team before, and it deserves their follow-up attention.

The match between Liverpool and Stoke City was indeed as the media said, there was no suspense at all.

Liverpool beat Stoke City 4:0 at home!

Only 5 minutes into the game, Liverpool scored a goal. It was Sanchez who scored the first goal. He shot from the back of the penalty area and opened the scoring for the team.

Stoke City surrendered completely.

Liverpool's performance last season was too scary. When many teams came to Anfield to face Liverpool, they basically couldn't raise any fighting spirit and confidence.I just think about losing less and winning more.

Stoke City is such a team.

After Sanchez scored, everything was easy.The game once again entered the rhythm familiar to Liverpool.

Stoke City had no fighting spirit in the first place, and their performance after that was even worse.

Liverpool's goals came one after the other.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game, scoring his third league goal of the season.

But what the media are most concerned about is still not this, but Gotze sitting on the bench. The TV broadcast showed Gotze a lot of shots, and they were basically close-ups. They just wanted to find clues from the expression on Gotze's face. .

But let them down, Gotze's performance is no different from any ordinary Liverpool player-watching the game seriously, occasionally chatting with his teammates around him, and when Liverpool score a goal, he will also be with his teammates Rush out of the bench, raise your arms for the goal, and then applaud the teammate who scored the most goals.

I really don't see anything wrong with him.

※ ※ ※

In the end, relying on Chen Yingxiong's brace and the goals of Sanchez and Skrtel, Liverpool won the opponent 4:0 at home.

At the post-match press conference, as soon as Martin O'Neill sat on his seat, countless arms were raised.

The press officer pointed to a man who stood up and was about to speak.

Martin O'Neill interrupted him, and said urgently: "I declare in advance that I will not answer all questions about Gotze. Well, now you can start asking questions."

The reporters in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay.

In Martin O'Neill's view, his actions are a kind of protection for Gotze.But in the hearts of these reporters, it is the ironclad proof that O'Neill is impatient with Gotze.

It wasn't that Martin O'Neill's reminder had an effect, but that the reporter suddenly thought of Chen Yingxiong's threat.

So he backed off, and his question became: "Two wins in a row, Mr. Martin O'Neill, do you think your team is on the right track?"

This is nonsense of nonsense, the most worthless of all questions.

Even the answer reporters have been able to think of it in advance-could O'Neal still say "No, our team is in the most difficult period in history, and we may end the game at any time"?

It can be seen from this that everyone's thoughts are actually still on Mario Gotze.

How could Martin O'Neill not know?He felt that it was not a good thing for these flies to think about it all the time.

But it was too early to push Gotze to the cusp. Is Gotze really ready?
※ ※ ※

When Martin O'Neill was thinking about this question, Chen Yingxiong had already asked the question straightforwardly: "Mario, do you want to play now?"

"Of course." Gotze nodded without hesitation.

"Are you ready?"

This time Gotze thought for a while before he nodded and said, "I think so, I'm ready."

Chen Yingxiong didn't ask him questions such as "Why do you think you are ready" or "How do you prove that you are ready?" Instead, he patted the table and said, "Okay, then I will tell the boss!"

This time it was Gotze's turn to be surprised.

Seeing Gotze's surprised expression, Chen Yingxiong explained: "I think only by letting you play and using your performance can we convince those idiots who don't give up. It's not up to me who plays and who doesn't. So I'm going to have to talk to the boss and see if he's willing to give you a chance so soon."

Gotze thought of what Martin O'Neill said to him, saying that when the time is right, he will naturally let himself play.But when is the time "ripe"?

Is the time ripe now?
Maybe a little early?
But I couldn't wait any longer.

He asked himself, thinking he wanted to play.Although Martin O'Neill explained it to him, he also agreed.But there is always a fire burning in my heart.

I want to play, I want to play, I want to play...

In the fire, a voice kept murmuring.

He clenched his fists, no matter what!

Regardless of whether the timing is considered ripe or not, he, Mario Gotze, couldn't wait any longer.

The timing is not ripe enough, that’s because you never do it, don’t give it a try, how do you know if the timing is ripe?

Even if you are immature, as long as you try a few more times, won't you be mature?

There is no Ruth in the world, if there are many people walking, there will be a way.

There is no such thing as a mature time in the world. If there are more people who try, there will be.

Isn't everything in this world like this?
