Football Superstar Training System

Chapter 149

In order to prepare the players for adapting to the weather in Russia, head coach Rodgers took the players on the roster against Anzhi to Russia three days in advance after the game against Newcastle United, and then went to the home court of Lokomotiv Moscow.

The third and fourth rounds of the UEFA Europa League group stage are two teams in the same group that exchange home and away games. The two teams have two consecutive rounds of direct dialogue, but the order of the home and away games is different. This is also defined by the fans as a "back-to-back" match.

Due to the weather and some other reasons, UEFA arranged the venue for this round of the two teams in the Europa League group stage at the home court of Lokomotiv Moscow.

Therefore, the Locomotive Stadium, which can accommodate more than 8000 spectators, has become the venue for the focus match between Anzhi and Liverpool in the fourth round of the Europa League group stage. Rodgers and his players will also challenge the upstarts of the Russian Super League here. The two teams will meet again after half a month.

……

"It's fucking cold!" Suarez in the locker room complained about the weather in Russia while preparing for the field training. After changing into the training clothes, he quickly wrapped himself in a down jacket. The Uruguayan superstar from South America was really not used to the cold weather in Russia for a while.

Looking at his players, not only Suarez can't stand this kind of weather, but also other players. Rodgers wrapped in a thick down jacket and said in the locker room: "We came to Russia in advance to adapt to the weather here, and devote ourselves to training. It will make you a lot better."

"Let's go, let's go, go to training, and you'll run better." After Rogers finished speaking, Sterling impatiently walked to the field while greeting his teammates behind him.

……

In the last round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Liverpool took the lead at home against the upstarts of the Russian Premier League. Downing scored Liverpool's 550th goal in the club's European history and also let Anzhi lose at Anfield.

The upcoming fourth round of the group stage will allow Liverpool to go away from the home game in the last round, but this "away game" can be regarded as a half "away game" for the Anzhi Club. After all, except for the basically the same weather, other aspects are not the same.

The meeting at Anfield half a month ago gave Anzhi a defeat. Although more than half a month has passed, Anzhi coach Hiddink, who is determined to revenge, must want Liverpool to experience a defeat in the snowstorm in Moscow. The second "fight" between Rodgers and Hiddink is coming soon.

At 8:9 p.m. local time in Russia on the 5th and [-]:[-] p.m. British time, the focus of the fourth round of the Europa League group stage was between Anzhi and Liverpool.

In terms of lineup, Liverpool captain Gerrard, Skrtel, Agger and Joe Allen did not go to Moscow with the team, so Rodgers still gave the substitute players a chance to start in the team lineup.

Thanks to Joe Cole's encouragement, Cody's nervousness has indeed dropped a lot, and he sincerely thanked: "Thank you senior, I will work hard!"

Afterwards, players from both sides entered the stadium under the leadership of the referee.

As an upstart in the Russian Super League, Anzhi was able to attract many Russian people to become club fans in a short period of time mainly because of the few big-name stars signed by Anzhi. Apart from the club's achievements, the most attractive fans are only football stars who are well-known in football.

There are not too many Liverpool fans following the club, but the voices cheering for the club on the pitch are not small. You must know that the opponent is the Russians. On their territory, even the most helpless English football hooligans can't beat this group of "old men". It can be seen that the fierceness of the diehard Liverpool fans in the audience.
