football's number one madman

Chapter 71 Who can you rely on in Liverpool?
August 1th finally arrived.

"Good morning, brothers!"

The first goalkeeper, James Shea, greeted everyone energetically.

Lee Polo smiled and gave him a high five:

"Is your cold better?"

No one has practiced with him this week, and his shooting skills have temporarily stayed at a poor 21...

Seeing Xie A's official return, the other teammates were very happy, only the second goalkeeper Ross Werner looked a little depressed.

[It's a pity, why don't you take two days off? 】

[You represent the team and smashed Manchester United, so why don't you let me play Liverpool? 】

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Adrey walked in clapping his hands, first glanced at Xie A:
"Oh, the team doctor told me that you have recovered."

Xie A nodded excitedly:

"Yes, boss, I can play in the game!"

But Adrey shook his head:
"Unfortunately, James, the starting list was reported to the FA yesterday. Unless there are special circumstances for the starting 11, it is impossible for us to change the list."

Xie A's mood suddenly fell to the bottom!

And Wallner almost climaxed!
The ups and downs of life are so exciting!
But before he could climax, he noticed that Xie A turned his head and looked at him.

[Wori, for a place to play, he wouldn't want me to have a 'special situation' in the training match, would he? 】

[However, we are all goalkeepers, and we are separated by the entire stadium, even if he wants to hurt me, it is impossible! 】

Werner was still thinking wildly, but Adrey waved at everyone.

The head coach exhaled white while shouting:

"It's too cold today, cancel the outdoor training, let's go to the tactical analysis room to watch the video for the last time!"
-
January in England is indeed the coldest month. Although the average minimum temperature is 1-2 degrees, because there is hardly any sun, a small town like Wimbledon also lacks the urban heat island effect. Due to the uncertain weather, the heat will be lost too quickly, so the actual feeling will be colder.

Back in the warm tactical analysis room, Cox has turned on the projection screen.

What is shown on the screen is the first round of the Premier League this season, Liverpool vs. Southampton at home.

In fact, the players watched the video of this game ten days ago, and the training during this period of time after that was also based on this game.

According to the coaches, because Wimbledon and Southampton have actually played against each other and have a real feeling for the gap in strength between the two sides, this game is more valuable for reference.

Sterling went first in the 22nd minute. The teenager Henderson made a through pass after stealing the midfielder. The smaller teenager Sterling broke into the penalty area at high speed from the double-teaming of Fonte and Maya Yoshida and succeeded.

In the second half, Southampton was assisted by midfielder Tadic and full-back Klein to equalize the score, but the 1:1 score did not last until the end. Sturridge had a flash of inspiration in the 79th minute and used a light kick The burst shot completes the lore!

Liverpool beat Southampton 2:1, and Wimbledon beat Southampton 3:2. According to the simplest mathematical derivation, Liverpool is approximately equal to Wimbledon!
Anyway, they only won Southampton by one goal!
Cox focused on replaying the scoring screens of both sides, as well as several threatening offensive and defensive battles, and analyzed them at the same time:

"After Suarez left the team, Liverpool's main attacker should have been played by Daniel Sturridge. He scored 21 Premier League goals last season, second only to Suarez's Premier League Silver Boot winner. But he suffered a serious injury after playing the first three rounds and has not recovered yet..."

Lee Polo and his teammates did not show a look of "sympathy and sympathy", but rather gloated.

Reeves even went so far as to say:
"Fortunately, he won't play, otherwise he will be completely abolished!"

Lee Polo was not happy after hearing this:
"When you're talking... why are you looking at me?"

Cox coughed and continued to analyze:

"In order to make up for the lack of firepower, Liverpool introduced Italian striker Mario Balotelli at the last moment of the summer window. Unfortunately, the Golden Boy Award winner seems to be a little unacceptable. He hasn't scored a goal in half a season, and he can only score tomorrow. Sit on the bench and watch."

The picture flashed past a big black man, and then landed on a slightly sad face.

Cox raised his chin:

"So, Liverpool's offensive firepower is actually very scattered. As of the 20th round, no one has scored more than 5 goals. Except for their captain, Steven Gerrard, this guy should not need to be introduced anymore?"

Liverpool's diehard Akinfenwa took the lead in nodding:

"The captain of the Red Army is an all-round player in the traditional sense. He has a tough defense and a resolute attack. He is especially famous for his heavy artillery and direct free kicks. In addition, his sense of smell in front of the goal is also top-notch. For example, in the Istanbul miracle that will forever be recorded in history, he used it. A beautiful header lob blew the clarion call to reverse Milan..."

His teammates all showed dismissive expressions:

"You don't have to give us popular science and historical knowledge every time!"

"We all know how powerful this guy is!"

Adrey knocked on the table:

"Boorman, this guy will be marked by you one-on-one. Polo, you should also pay attention when fighting for the header, don't let him easily grab the opportunity!"

The two players whose names were called nodded vigorously.

Boulman is the player with the strongest defense in the midfield, while Li Polo is the team's number one header master. Let them work together to deal with one player. Gerrard has this qualification and strength.

Cox switched the screen again, and came to a little black monkey running with its big butt twisting:
"Raheem Sterling, a talented winger trained by Liverpool, is extremely fast and has a delicate touch. He is not as threatening to us as Southampton's Mane, but...he was injured in the last round of the league. , and today’s game cannot be played, so our full-backs can relax a lot.”

The two full-backs, Fuller and Smith, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the two older captains have rich experience, they are most afraid of sprinters like Sterling and Mane!

Not only did their confidence increase, but other Wimbledon players also showed smiles.

Sturridge is seriously injured, Sterling is slightly injured, and Liverpool's two most scoring forwards are all unable to play, so who else can score?

Lambert, 32?
Can he touch the football under the defense of Lee Polo and Phillips?

Or Balotelli who is "in his prime"?

Can he find where the goal is?

Cox then cut to a young man with flowing hair:
"Lazar Markovic, a 2000-year-old young player bought by Liverpool from Benfica for 20 million pounds, has strong ball control ability, fast start speed, and active participation in defense. He mainly plays on the right side. Here you go."

Smith immediately stated:
"No problem, he's still too young!"

Adrey glanced at the information in his hand, and added:
"He can also play in midfield, so watch out for him cutting inside suddenly, or crossing with players in the middle."

Cox pursed his lips slightly, but didn't say anything.

【After all... who made me just an assistant coach! 】

The screen flicked across starters such as Lambert, Henderson, Emre Can, Skrtel, Mignolet, etc., and finally settled on a picture with the same forehead tattoo as Gerrard, so that some On a frowning face.

Cox rubbed his chin:

"Their other young midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, well, the Brazilian players have a good sense of the ball, can take a long shot occasionally, and like to play on the left. But his body A little thin, playing in the Premier League is too much, Fuller, he will leave it to you, no problem?"

Fuller patted his strong chest, and there was a "dong dong" sound in the entire conference room:
"Just sit quietly on the bench and watch how I deal with this little South American skinny monkey!"

Seeing his confident appearance, Li Poluo secretly sighed.

[You'd better pray to God and let Coutinho have diarrhea in the afternoon. 】

【In case this Brazilian picks up a cloud-piercing arrow, I'm afraid you really can't afford it...】

Special note:

Not only is the author not Liverpool black, but the first home team is Liverpool, so black is particularly emotional.

In addition, the second home team is Manchester United, the third home team is Milan, especially the home team is the national football team.
