Chapter 1270 Masquerade Party

Three days later, Suarez, accompanied by his wife, boarded a plane to Chicago, USA, where he underwent surgery by a famous doctor.

If all goes well, he will be able to return to Liverpool in a month at the latest.

Suarez left Liverpool, and the impact on Martin O'Neill is that the team's vacillating tactics can finally be fixed.

Perhaps for the team, Suarez's injury is still a good thing.

Because if Suarez is there, he and Gotze actually have some conflicts. If Suarez is on, Gotze's position will be gone. If Gotze is on, Suarez will have to play as a substitute.

In fact, depending on this season, Suarez is no longer the absolute main force. He started to come off the bench more often.

As the internal bidder of the Liverpool team this season, it is of course impossible for Gotze to sit on the bench all the time, so when Gotze finds his form and adapts to Liverpool's football style and living environment, it is only natural that he sits on the main position.

Fortunately, Liverpool has a multi-line battle, a dense schedule, and enough games to prevent Gotze from playing the main force all the time. He is not a pervert like Chen Yingxiong, so he still needs to rest.So two people can take turns to play.

It's just that when they take turns playing, the team's tactics are constantly changing.

When Gotze started, Martin O'Neal adopted a 4231 formation and tactics. At this time, Suarez was sitting off the court, Chen Yingxiong was the only forward, at the top, Gotze played the midfielder, Bell and Sanchez Playing wingers and full-backs on the left and right sides.The central midfielders are Gerrard and Inle.

If Suarez is on, then under Gotze, Liverpool will change to 442, which is the lineup tactics that Liverpool played for a season last season, which is more familiar to them.

In addition, there are some minor personnel adjustments.For example, Adam Johnson can often rotate, replacing Bell or Sanchez. Anyway, he can play on both sides, which greatly increases his chances of playing.

In addition, in the position of central midfielder, Charlie Adam and Lucas can also step up at any time.So Inler can also get a chance to rest, especially Gerrard.If it doesn't work, Suarez can still coexist with Gotze at the same time, that is, Gotze replaced Gerrard in 442.

In short, there are many possibilities, but they remain the same, mainly because of these two tactics.

Now that Suarez is reimbursed for the entire season, Martin O'Neal can also stabilize and play a set of tactics.It is the set of 4231.

The advantage of 4231 is that the team has a stronger control ability in the midfield. Three players who can pass and shoot behind Chen Yingxiong are placed on the forward line, which increases many opportunities to shoot later, which will give the opponent The defense caused a lot of trouble.

The disadvantage is that Chen Yingxiong is alone in the penalty area, and he is easily surrounded by several opponents.Of course, there is a way to crack it, that is to let three avant-garde players and one Gerrard frequently insert long-range shots.

In fact, if it weren't for Suarez, Martin O'Neal planned to use this tactic all the time. He felt that this tactic was more threatening than the 442 one.

So when Suarez was injured, he felt bad, but when he calmed down later, he thought it might be a good thing.He can let the team play 4231 openly without worrying about whether Suarez, who is a substitute, will feel dissatisfied.

As for what to do after Suarez recovers from injury, let's talk about it after he recovers from injury...

※ ※ ※

Suarez's injury is a good thing for Martin O'Neill from a tactical perspective.

But for the whole team, it may not be a good thing.

Suarez is very popular in the locker room, and his injury has also had a huge impact on many players.Especially when he fell suddenly without any physical contact, many players were shocked to a certain extent.

This can be seen from the fact that none of them were able to win the weak Portsmouth in that game.

Martin O'Neill is a little worried that this matter will affect the morale of the team-it cannot be said that Martin O'Neill is making a fuss and making a big fuss. At this time, he really can't be sloppy at all. We must prevent problems before they happen. If it really affects The morale of the team, even a little bit, might be fatal?
You must know that after the game against Portsmouth, Liverpool narrowly beat Wolves 1-0 in the next league game.

It was almost another draw. Liverpool have never had two consecutive draws this season.

So it's not that Martin O'Neill is worrying unnecessarily, it's that something like this has really happened.

O'Neal decided to eliminate the impact of Suarez's serious injury on the team.

He turned his idea to the Christmas dinner.

Christmas dinner is a regular program for many teams every year, not just the Premier League teams, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga... These teams, as long as they are in countries that regard Christmas as a legal holiday, professional football clubs will hold this event .

For the Premier League teams, this is a rare opportunity to relax.Because there is no winter break in the Premier League, naturally there is no Christmas holiday at all, so this dinner may be their only "holiday" during this period, and it is a rare opportunity for them to rest and relax in their busy schedule.

O'Neill intends to start with the dinner party, for which he announced that the theme of this year's Christmas dinner in Liverpool is... Masquerade.

He wanted to use a joyful atmosphere to dilute the cloud of misery cast on the team by Suarez's serious injury.

"The theme of this year's Christmas dinner is masquerade. At that time, we will select two awards: the most creative award and the most dedicated award. I hope you can give full play to your imagination!" Assistant coach Sammy Lee said in the locker room. The players who had finished training announced.

For those who like to be funny, Masquerade is just tailor-made for them.

As soon as Sammy Lee left, everyone began to discuss how to dress up when the time came.

The members of the Eat, Drink and Play Orchestra surrounded Chen Yingxiong, wanting to hear if he had any good ideas.

Chen Yingxiong spread his hands: "I just found out, what good ideas can I have? Besides, I won't tell you if I have one! I'm going for these two awards!"

"Tch! I'm stingy!" Everyone dispersed one after another, each thinking of their own way.

After Chen Yingxiong returned home, he told Cabrera about the invitation to the masquerade.

Cabrera asked him, "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. But I will definitely be the most creative one! I must pretend that no one else will pretend!" Chen Yingxiong said confidently.

There is not much time left for the players to prepare for the masquerade. After all, it is not too important. The key is as long as everyone is happy and relaxed.

On the afternoon of the 27th, after training, the team asked the players to go home and prepare, and then went directly to the hotel.

At the entrance of the hotel where the ball was held, many fans and media had already gathered, and they all came to watch the players walk the red carpet.

This year's red carpet is different from previous years, players have to wear makeup to walk.

Many people are very curious about what appearances the stars who usually have a lot of glory on the court will make.

Whether it's a reporter or an ordinary fan, everyone gathered around the red carpet with cameras and mobile phones, ready to appreciate the funny side of Liverpool stars.This can be regarded as everyone's pre-Christmas entertainment.There is even a local Liverpool TV station carrying a camera to film the stars walking the red carpet and live broadcast it for everyone... Fortunately, Liverpool's performance this year is not bad, so everyone has such leisure.

※ ※ ※

Everyone who came to the dance party has been carefully dressed, some have played American superheroes, some have played Japanese cartoon characters, and some have played inexplicable things, such as aliens or something.

Skrtel walked into the venue dressed as a Hulk.His appearance disappointed those who hoped that Chen Yingxiong could play the Hulk.They feel that only Chen Yingxiong is worthy of the image of the Hulk.

I don't know if these Liverpool players passed the gas beforehand. If they crashed, it would be so embarrassing...

In fact, I was really angry because Spiderman alone had two players, and Batman had as many as five.

When Charlie Adam and Lucas, both dressed in Batman, appeared on the red carpet at almost the same time, they were taken aback by each other, and the crowd erupted in laughter.The two had no choice but to walk the red carpet hand in hand...

Gareth Bale plays The Flash, which is quite in line with his characteristics.

Gerald played a regular, a... superman.

So far, this masquerade party is pretty normal. Although everyone's appearance is more American superheroes, who makes American superheroes popular through Hollywood movies?

But when the members of Liverpool's Skittles Band began to appear, this normal masquerade gradually went in an unknown direction...

Thornton played a soccer ball—he just dyed his clothes in white hexagons, which was no big deal.Well, if the audience thinks this is a normal appearance, then the climax will come!

In the meantime, Thornton leaned forward, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, he put his hands on the ground, and kicked his legs hard!
He rolled forward on the red carpet!
Now, he really is a football!

The reporters and fans at the scene were stunned!

The Liverpool players at both ends of the red carpet were also stunned, and then they realized that Thornton wanted to grab those two awards!

Shameless!

Chen Yingxiong, who saw the TV broadcast in the car, also exclaimed: "Damn it! Thornton is a bitch!"

But no one can prevent Thornton from stealing the limelight from everyone before him.The fans applauded wildly, whistled for him, waved to him and chanted his name.Even on the court, he may not be as popular as this time...

After getting up, Thornton waved to everyone very proudly.

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the effect of his appearance!
